Chapter 63: There is no atonement

"What Demacia needs is not to get rid of Noxus, but to have a peaceful Valoran continent." This sentence is as pleasant as a politician's rhetoric, and although it sounds beautiful, it definitely cannot withstand rational scrutiny.

This is the principle pursued by the Valoran continent from the common slaves to the rich bankers and aristocrats. Whether it is the Demacian Empire, which is just and strict in its laws, or Noxus, which pursues the pursuit of great power regardless of the influence of others, both materially and spiritually, or the ancient empire of Ionia, which is famous for its diplomats on the continent of Valoran, they cannot escape the label of the law of the jungle.

This is true among civilians, and how can it not be true between empires?

Augustus did not believe in the wise and holy warriors, and Gavin III, who had been in charge of General Burnham who had dominated Noxus for more than half a century, did not think that it would be like completely disappearing the powerful Noxian Empire on the continent of Valoran and integrating into the territory of the Demacian Empire.

Leaving the Demacia Embassy, Augustus did not rush to find Fiona, the so-called exiled heir of the Laurent family, in Lux's mouth, from Augustus's point of view, if those old nobles can't even stop Fiona's plan, it is better to let Fiona, the sinner of the Demacian Empire, get the head of a powerful Noxian Empire, return to the Demacian Empire safely, and create the legend of the Laurent family again.

For the aristocratic world that Frans kept secret, Augustus always had a cold attitude of watching from the sidelines, and occasionally participated in it, and he also had a very rational mentality. Aristocrats, if the life or death of these fellows does not involve the interests of me Augustus, why should I be so enthusiastic??

Profit is the cornerstone of the vast and disciplined empire of Noxus.

On the way back to the Porsan estate, Augustus may never have known that Miss Lux, who had reluctantly sent him out of the embassy in Demacia, was talking about the current state of the Noxian Empire with a cold look and a rational mind with the retinue who had followed him to the Noxian Empire.

Retinue? It wasn't Lux's servant or relative. It's a woman that even Prince Gavin admires, a woman who even the legendary shooter Wayne has to admire even in the Night Hunter organization: Quinn.

Lux held the red wine glass that Augustus poured for her in both hands, glanced at Quinn, a woman sitting on the sofa with a cold and calm look in her eyes, dressed as a knight, and couldn't help but admire in her eyes full of innocence, except for her brother, there may be no one in the young generation of the Demacian Empire who can compare to this young man. But a girl stained with foreign blood!

Knowing that the heroic woman in front of her didn't like too complicated words, and even less liked the tone of the nobles' words, Lux sorted out the thoughts in her mind, smiled and said: "I have told Augustus the news that Fiona, the heir of the Laurent family, is preparing to assassinate the big man of the Noxian Empire, Quinn, what choice do you think the clever young master Augustus will make?" Hehe, that's exciting! ”

"Maybe wait, maybe immediately agree on a plan to stop Fiona, maybe find Fiona and sign some kind of treaty with Fiona! Lux. Please forgive me, the young master Augustus in your mouth is too complicated, with my simple brain cells, I really can't imagine what this young master Augustus will do next! Quinn rubbed her head, she had never been a good thinker, so when Quinn joined the Demacian Empire's army to choose a career, she did not choose to be a commander, but chose to be a dark hunter who hunted against the Demacian Empire.

There wasn't much surprise on Lux's face, and he would only be surprised if Quinn could analyze Augustus' future movements at length. The demon god-like figure standing in front of the flame-scorched Demacian army in her mind couldn't help but clench her fists. Sighing softly, "He's a tough guy indeed!" I have seen aristocrats who are cunning or wise or foolish or pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, but none of them can give me the illusion of being shrouded in darkness like this Augustus! "It's like feeling like you're under the scorching sun when you're facing Emperor Jiawen. It's just that the former is eternal darkness, while the latter is infinite light! ”

The latter sentence, Lux did not say, but muttered to himself in his heart. A little Augustus could give himself the same feeling as Emperor Gavin. Even if Lux himself felt a little unbelievable, the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.

There was a small surprise in Quinn's eyes, and Quinn had met Lux before she had even shown her so-called magical talent. Quinn couldn't have known much about this proud, confident friend, and the frustration she had never heard of in the tone of Lux's words just now was revealed in a way she had never heard before.

God, it's just an incredible thing.

It is incredible, that the princess of the defending family, the disciple of the venerable cardinal of the Vatican and the adored of thousands of people, should show frustration.

Could it be that the so-called hero of the Noxian Empire, Augustus, who returned to the Noxian Empire in Ferreljord, really has any special skills? After a second thought, Quinn dispelled the complicated thoughts in his mind, and said to Lux, who was still immersed in his emotions: "Fiona of the Laurent family is the bait we throw, and we are ready to close the net!" Are you ready, Lux? ”

The voice of reality came in and pulled back to Lux, who said softly with unprecedented determination on her face, "There is no atonement to speak of, only repentance, Quinn, as one of the culprits of the gallows, should I give the Noxian Empire a small gift?" ”

Looking at Lux with a bright smile on her face, a trace of unbearability flashed in Quinn's eyes. If it weren't for that Augustus, maybe Lux wouldn't have been living in the so-called penance and almost monk-like penance, although this in exchange for strength and wisdom, but as Lux's friend, Quinn didn't want to see such a result.

Some historians who have studied the jihad launched by General Burnham four years ago will never forget the battle of the "Gallows of Sarktown", which is very representative of the three years of jihad between the Demacian Empire and the Noxian Empire.

Not only did this battle involve the largest number of people and casualties, but it also had a profound impact. At that time, the people involved in this battle in Sark City were not only the Legion of Glory of Demacia, the Knights of the Hundred Leaves of the Noxian Empire, and the soldiers of the Sack City Guard, but also the participation of the Vatican Holy See, the Holy See of Byzantio, and the intervention of some dark creatures hated by mankind, werewolves and vampires, a total of nearly 400,000 people died in this battle, and the Legion of Glory of the Demacian Empire was almost completely wiped out.

And the person who planned this battle that shocked the Valoran continent was not the head of the Hundred Leaf Flower Knights, let alone the old nobleman Wilber with the title of Earl of the City Lord of Sack City, but a small member of the Hundred Leaf Flower Knights, a young man named Augustus.

The reason for this war is also only because a knight of the Knights of the Hundred Leaf Flowers died in the defense of Sark City - Fransted!

Fransted, a name that should have been forgotten by the mainland, is inscribed in the annals of the continent of Valoran in the form of 400,000 lives and untold blood.

And Augustus, who directed all this, wore a veil of synchronization with the darkness, hidden in the darkness, and few people know about it except for some people who control huge power.

As a witness to the Sarktown Gallows and one of the reasons for the fuse, it seems that the reason for the spectacular Sarktown Gallows is that a little girl who covets military merits steals the secrets of the Noxian Empire, but is eventually used by the Noxian Empire, and the Demacian Empire immediately launched a revenge, and finally you come and go, triggering a battle that shocked the continent of Valoran.

One of the closest people to God, Lux's mentor, the Vatican Holy See, the most noble cardinal Archbishop of the Vatican except the patriarch, could not untie the knot in the heart of this genius girl in the wizarding world, and in the end, Cardinal Neufidp could only hand over his precious disciple to the god of time to save.

But now it seems that Noynfeldp's expectations have been disappointed, and there is no atonement to speak of, only repentance, and this sentence from the mouth of Lux has proved that the innocent girl has not forgotten the mistakes she made because of her ignorance.

Dressed in a sumptuous Demacian imperial aristocratic evening dress, Lux walked to the window, looked down at the rich, bankers, and aristocrats coming and going in the streets, he opened his arms, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice that was always sweet and incompatible: "It's time to give back a long-owed gift to the Noxian Empire!" ”

Quinn glanced at Lux deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, then I'll go and prepare now, I hope that tomorrow the nobles of the Bertang district of St. Peter's City will have a wonderful sleep!" ”

The Bertang district is one of the main gathering places of the ancient families of St. Peter's City. (To be continued.) )
