Chapter 13, Saints or Heretics

Just when Augustus, who was far away in the small town of Norok on the border of Noxus and bordering the Iron Ridge Mountains, came out hoping to enter the most honorable figure of the Empire, at least as it is now, in General Burnham's study, reading the book "Pillars of the Empire" written by General Burnham himself, which hides the value that cannot be bought with hundreds of thousands of gold coins, far away in St. Peter's Castle, the original Noxian royal family with the noble honor of Stuart, the orthodox residence of the royal family in St. Peter's City, the imperial capital of Noxus. The young woman who had been gifted by General Burnham and who had taken control of General Burnham's power, unknown to many of the great nobles of Noxus, was sitting in the study that General Burnham had made taboo and had been carried out as a corpse without permission, and was reading with gusto, the book "Pillars of the Empire" that Augustus had dreamed of.

A woman in her early twenties, very quietly, sat in the seat that originally belonged to General Burnham, and bowed her head to read the book "Pillars of the Empire", which was considered one of General Burnham's proudest books.

Whether it was in the past or now, this woman is the most honorable woman in the Noxus Empire, even if he was not known in the past, but the woman with the noble royal surname Stuart will always use the power and glory of the proud head of the old nobles who have inherited it for nearly a thousand years.

Read carefully and carefully through this last book of General Burnham's work. This book is different from the works of General Burnham that Kiris had read before, and there are few classic words in the book, but the plain and simple narrative words make the princess, who is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, feel a sense of shock and shock on the ground and thunder.

The book "Pillars of the Empire" is basically written in narrative simplicity, and there is little condescending expression of the author's ideas from God's point of view. One by one, they recorded the events of outstanding young men or generals who performed prominently in the three years of jihad, and these young people did not know whether there were Noxus, Demacia, Ionia and other empires, but they did not make any praise or rebuke! But in these bland narratives, you can feel that the characters in them have a feeling that cannot be ignored.

The book is 123 pages long, and a total of nine important battles and 53 minor battles are recorded. There are as many as 563 people involved.

At the end of the book, there is only one line left by General Burnham, who stands on his own point of view: "I don't know who first opened this book, whether it was Her Royal Highness Princess Chillis Stuart, whom I respected, or Octavian, a war maniac, Rommel, a tactical and strategic wisdom, or Augustus, who had great dreams and beliefs?" But whoever it is, I will give you a word of advice: the empire is great because of a great group of people! Great men are great because of the greatness of the path they walk and the things they experience! Viewer, no matter what you think, since you have read this book, you should have an obligation to help the Noxian Empire become the master of the Valoran continent, and send the pillars of the other empires in the book into eternal darkness! This is not a request, but an order.

Signed: General Darkwell Burnham, the most likely remembered leader of the Noxian Empire.

Close the book. Chillis closed her eyes and lay on the chair, looking at the ceiling higher than the two of herself, and muttered to herself, "General Burnham, I really want to dig out your heart and find out all your thoughts!" ”

In an instant, the study was filled with an aura of darkness.

Opening her eyes again, Kiris regained her demeanor as a noble princess, and became an existence that any man couldn't help but want to conquer when he saw it. Didn't Elquilo, the werewolf duke of Noxus, who was known for his violent and perverse coldness, say this forty years ago: "Noble elegance only brings a veil equivalent to taboo for beautiful women, and we men are born to break taboos, so when we conquer women of unattainable status." Naturally, we have climaxes. ”

It is hard to imagine that this old man with a unique and dignified temperament would once again appear in front of the world as a lost lamb in the largest church in St. Peter's City, the Cathedral of Eugustín, with a unique and dignified temperament! Moreover, not many people can guess that the werewolf duke was thinking about how to deceive the Empress of Nicocage the Great into the princess of Vienna when he said this, and the lost lamb, who had received the guidance of Cardinal Jesus of the Holy See, the most sacred and pious priest of the Holy See, felt regret that he did not succeed at that time. Instead of regretting.

It really deserves to be a bold, violent and ruthless werewolf duke!

However, it is hard to imagine that the Duke of Elkilo, who dared to hit the idea that Emperor Niko Cage valued his wife the most important wife, the Princess of Vienna, did not have the slightest primitive desire in his eyes in the eyes of this Viennese princess, who was more beautiful than the Princess of Vienna, but behaved extremely respectful and pious, as if he was worshipping God!

Standing on the green and soft grass in front of St. Peter's Castle, the Duke of Erquilo looked at the majestic St. Peter's Castle with a kind face and reminiscing eyes. Forty years ago, didn't he see that beautiful and pure woman in this meadow?

Born into a powerful family, Erkilo is not lacking. Even if a hundred aristocratic socialites were tricked into chuangs in one day, this was not a difficult thing for Erquilo at that time. But behold that beautiful and pure woman. He fell in love at first sight, which he never wanted to believe, and then he embarked on a frenzied quest for a reprimand, which was widely circulated in St. Peter's and used by many family members as a reprimand.

But in the end, it failed!

Later, the Duke of Erquiro left St. Peter's City in frustration, setting his sights on Demacia and Zaun, two countries that were eyeing the Noxian Empire. Eventually, he spent nearly twenty years on the borders of the Noxian Empire, earning countless medals of honor, and then returning to his family to inherit the title of duke that his father had passed on to him.

Lifting his withered arm, he tried to grab something, but lifted it in mid-air and finally let it go. The former dream lover and former rival have all died with the disaster twenty years ago, and now only the only heir of the two of them remains: Her Royal Highness Princess Kiris!

Holding the book "Pillars of the Empire", Kiris was not too surprised to see the Duke of Erquillo standing in front of St. Peter's Castle, who had in fact been in front of St. Peter's Castle since General Burnham handed over the management of the nobles' weekly meetings to Svein.

There had been lame reasons to look at Burnham, but then the werewolf duke had a conversation with Burnham in his study and left satisfied, and stood in front of St. Peter's Castle in the light to reminisce about the absurd days of the past.

Burnham doesn't stop either.

Burnham didn't ask about this matter, and Burnham didn't take the initiative to talk about it, and the two maintained this tacit understanding.

A messenger was summoned to hand over the book in his hand, and said: "Go and give this book to General Augustus, who is returning from Ferreljord, and tell him to pass it on to Octavian when he has finished reading it!" ”

The messenger commanded to leave.

As usual, Kiris stepped forward to say hello to Duke Erquiro and prepared to leave, but the Duke of Erquilo, who had been ignoring her in his memories these days, called out to her!

"Your Royal Highness, Princess Kiris, would you like to give me a few minutes?

Qilisi glanced back at the sincere words and sincere eyes in front of her, showing that she did not belong to the demeanor of a werewolf duke at all, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she said elegantly and ladylikely: "Of course, Lord Duke, do you have anything to do?" ”

Dressed in a gorgeous scarlet robe, Elkiro smiled at the noble princess in front of him, and said, "My godfather is also the most devout priest of the Holy See, His Excellency Hygea, who is still a guest in the Inquisition, I would like to ask the future Lord of Noxus, Your Highness the Great Princess, when will you invite my godfather out in the manner of a cardinal archbishop?" ”

Hai Ge Ya Su is an ancient but indelible name! Although she has not been involved in the affairs of the noble papal over the years, she is not unfamiliar with the name of Hai Ge Yasu. It took thirteen years, in the Papal Affairs Hall, without any ambition, to write a great book, the Byzantian Holy See of the Noxian Empire, the Vatican Holy See of the Demacian Empire were all upside down, and the clergy of the Clergy, Archbishop Kiris, even if she was lonely, knew the name of the Asu, and knew the meaning of the four words.

"I have to admit that "Holy Immortal" is a very great and famous work, but it goes against the views of many saints, which in itself dooms the book to many problems when it is presented to the Papal Office. No single member of the Holy See has dared to transcend the Holy See and pursue the Sacred! Chillis looked at Elkiro with an apologetic look on her face.

Although no specific answer was given, the tacit understanding between the nobles should be clear about the meaning of Kiris's words! The old duke was not disappointed at all, and looked at the young girl in front of him with a smile but a sophisticated political method, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mysterious smile, and said softly: "Can the phrase transcending the sacred and pursuing the sacred be understood as transcending the saints and pursuing the sacred?" I remember my godfather telling me that the only divine being is God, and saints are not! The purpose of the existence of the saints is not to make us look up but to transcend them, and many clergy have forgotten the fundamental reason for the existence of the saints, so they can never transcend the saints and receive God's revelation! ”

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, perhaps you can try to meet this Hai Ge Ya Su, who has no heretical thoughts but is regarded as a heretic by the Holy See, is also my godfather, and perhaps he will give you some enlightenment! The authority of Noxus, this old man understands it better than I do, hehe, who called him an opponent of our venerable General Burnham? Elkilo muttered to himself, but loud enough for Kiris Stuart to hear.

Turn around, turn back, leave.

Looking at the pious and firm back that was neither majestic nor obscure, Kiris was silent, bent down slightly, and made a farewell gift among the nobles.

A legendary saint clothed in divine light or a terrible heresy that brings endless darkness? (To be continued.) )
