Chapter 41: Choices

In the endless forest, Augustus threw the sword of the holy shield, the former Sactoro's saber, which was unmatched by any knight and warrior, into the air, and then plunged it into the feet of Pompey not far away. "I am not worthy of this sword of victory, but I am worthy of the friendship of the Gnaeus."

Pompey also lost the bright and sunny smile that usually hung on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of confusion. He didn't know why Augustus, who had easily stood out from more than 3,300 recruits and had become one of the four strong contenders for the first place in the city of alders, had already easily stood out from more than 3,300 recruits with this sword and the bow and arrows on the back of his shoulders, and had successfully become one of the four strong contenders for the first place in the city of Alder, had left behind a weapon as important as an arm, the sword of glory that had once belonged to the Empire in victory over Saxdorus.

With Pompey's brilliant mind and understanding of the human heart, he could no longer understand what Augustus was thinking at this juncture. Suddenly, a thought popped into Pompey's head, "Is Augustus ready to give up the glory of competing for the title of first recruit?" As soon as this thought came out, Pompey was startled, and he looked up at Augustus with an indifferent expression.

Augustus spoke slowly at this time: "Young Master Pompey, I remember the hand of friendship that your Gnaeus family extended to me. Maybe in the future, I may not be qualified to repay the friendship of your Ganeus family, but Augustus will not forget. ”

With that, Augustus turned around and left.

Under the setting sun, Augustus seemed to be covered with a layer of divine brilliance, as if the gods were in the dust, and looked sacred and extraordinary.

Looking at Augustus's back at this moment, a series of thoughts flashed through Pompey's mind: where will Augustus's road go? At the same time, Pompey had already understood that Augustus had given up the shortcut to enter the War College by becoming the first recruit in the city, and Pompey did not know and did not want to know why.

The Valoran calendar is 1,401 years. In the end, Augustus, who did not participate in the championship battle, left the city with a bookish-looking nobleman and entered the cruel battlefield that symbolized death.

On the same day, the maiden who was still standing in Stiroland Square in the city of Alders pinched the glory of being the first recruit, looked at the sky, and whispered the name of Augustus. The girl eventually entered the War Academy, which symbolized the cradle of knights, generals, and ministers.

Outside the castle, two sturdy horses weave through a wooded forest. Fransted, who was sitting on a white horse, looked at Augustus, who was expressionless, and laughed softly: "I hope you don't regret your choice today in the future, otherwise I won't have anything to do at that time!" ”

Augustus shrugged his shoulders, turned back to Fransted and showed a bright smile, and said: "If you have no qualifications to regret what has not happened, and if you regret what has happened, then you are not qualified to go to the path of the strong!" Uncle Fransted, my current identity is an ordinary civilian in Noxus, and soon a regular knight of the Knights of the Hundred Leaf Knights. And in the future, I hope that I am a true knight, a noble knight. ”

Fransde laughed, "Then you're going to be ready to fight for the Iron Oak Medal Augustus." There are only a few Iron Oak medals in a major battle! It takes not only luck, but also strength. ”

Augustus nodded and smiled: "I understand! ”

A faint smile hung on the corner of Frace's mouth, and he muttered in his heart, "Do you really know? Augustus! I owe your father an Iron Oak Medal, and I wish I could pay it back to you, even at the cost of my life. ”

The majestic Alder Castle. The majestic Alder Mountain gradually became smaller in the eyes of Augustus and Fransted. Augustus stared carefully at the city in which he had lived for sixteen years, silent. Eventually, the whip struck hard, and Augustus tore apart the last link between him and the city.

"Aunt Carros, wait for Augustus, who is already a general, to come back!" Augustus roared in his heart, swinging his whip even faster and harder.

――――――

Alder Castle, the castle lord's mansion.

Archbishop Raphael, who had always been mild-mannered, did not have his usual elegance, and trotted all the way to the city lord's mansion. Pushing away the forbidden place of the study, which was not allowed to enter without the permission of the lord of Ergat, Raphael angrily yelled at Ergarth: "Why didn't you tell me that the boy Fransted is here?" ”

Looking at Archbishop Raphael, whose face was flushed and angry, who had lost his usual temperament, like a tooth and claw roaring. Ergart raised his head and smiled faintly, and said coldly: "Fransted is here to see his superior, and Archbishop Raphael, you are no longer a soldier of the Wolf Soldier Corps, remember your identity, you are just an archbishop of the Holy See, and you have nothing to do with the Wolf Legion." ”

Listening to Ergat's cold words, the anger in Raphael's heart dropped and stopped in an instant. Raphael had to know Ergarth, a comrade-in-arms who had crawled out of a trench. It was rare for him to see Raphael look like this before, and only when Raphael visited Urgat after the fall of the Wolf Soldiers.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the doubts in his mind, Raphael sat opposite Urgart and asked softly, "Augustus left suddenly, it should have something to do with Fransted, right?" ”

Urgart glanced at Raphael, got up and stood in front of the window, leaned down to look at the scenery outside the window, and was silent for a long time, Urgart sighed softly: "Yes, Fransde came to see me really because he wanted me to allow him to take Augustus, because Augustus is the adopted son of 'Reaper' Saud." ”

Raphael was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said softly: "I have heard Fransd mention that he owes Saudi Arabia an Iron Oak Medal. ”

Urgart didn't respond, he looked down at the tattered armor neatly placed in the bookshelf, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, and said softly: "Since the competition for the first recruit this year has come to an end, Raphael, it doesn't make sense for you to investigate the reasons behind it even now." Therefore, instead of thinking about the distant water, we should think about how to send this guy who is the first place in the recruit to the War College, and the key is to train him to be a qualified Noxian knight, what do you think?? ”

Raphael nodded and said, "Originally, there was still some suspense about Augustus coming to power, the first recruit, but now there is no suspense at all. Rui Wen is the first recruit in Alder City. ”

Urgart smiled and said softly, "Then prepare!" With that, Urgaté looked in the direction where Augustus and Fransted had left, and muttered, "It should have arrived." ”

Crossing a forest, a soldier on horseback blocked the path of Augustus and Fransid and said, "This is what the lord of the city has ordered me to give to Augustus." ”

Augustus opened the exquisite paper in confusion, and a line of sharp and imposing characters caught Augustus's eyes: "One day you conquered Du?" The two most precious pearls of the Quekao family, Caterina and Miss Sicaopea, you will be qualified to sit in front of us when the time comes! It's just that the two of them are destined to make men all over the world look up to them, not to men's existence. ”

Looking at this simple line, Augustus laughed uncontrollably.

The horses galloped, and six big words sounded on the street: "I see, I conquer!" ”

Franste looked at Augustus's unbridled back laughing, smiled slightly, rode his horse and slowly followed, muttering to himself: "Child, even if you want more than just an Iron Oak Medal in the future, but the crown of Noxus or the scepter in the hands of the Pope, I will accompany you, this is what I owe to Saudi Arabia, and I will pay it back to you." ”

Under the bright sky in front of him, there was a shocking scene of Saudi Arabia's bow and arrow. Fransted laughed like a child.

In the year 1401 of the Valoran calendar, Augustus, who was famous in the city of Alder, disappeared into Noxus. Outsiders don't know if this is the end of a saga that briefly pierces the sky, or the prelude to a dark aria.

Everything in the city of Alder and Augustus was buried by Ergat, who controlled the authority of the city. It was as if Augustus had never been to the city.

In the tower shield area, in an old house, Carlos was squatting with a big fish, there were two nights on the table, it was getting dark, and the fish in the pot was also the most delicious time, Carlos stared blankly at the empty door.

Finally, after a long, long time, Caros got up to clean up the pot and said softly: "Augustus, you conscienceless boy must remember that there is Aunt Carros, go all the way." ”

The light ends, and the darkness comes. (To be continued.) )
