Chapter 6: The True Aristocracy

With the "destruction", "danger" and "suffering", Augustus, Borlet, and Tyrone also gained the power they coveted, although these powers that they were proud of were worthless because they were instantly eliminated when they fought with Guliglan, the sixth knight of the Empire. But for Augustus they were enough.

What could be more joyful than witnessing yourself getting stronger day by day?

After two years of wandering in the Stambod Forest, the three of them have developed a good understanding. This may not be voluntary, but in order to improve the chances of survival, it is more necessary to cooperate and trust.

In half a year, the frequency of Guliglan's orders to Augustus, Tyrone, and Borlight was significantly higher, so the frequency of the three of them going to the Stambode Forest was obviously much faster than in the previous year and a half, and in the face of Guliglan's more difficult tasks every time, the three of them had learned how to avoid minimizing damage, but such a high-frequency task also made them have to find ways to complete the task more easily and quickly, with the least damage.

――――――

Augustus held a dagger in his hand, leaning against a tree stump and gasping for breath, his hands covered in blood. Not far from his feet was a giant python fifteen meters long. In Augustus's cognition, the python is basically non-venomous, but if it weren't for the words of the erudite Borlet, Augustus would probably fall under the fangs of this Orlan python because of this small detail.

Pythons are not venomous, that was a matter of a previous life. And this giant Orlan python, which can be ranked even in the entire Stebod Forest, is a giant venomous snake that is not inferior to the most venomous lightning bolt in the Steinbod Forest.

This Orlan python is one of the well-deserved overlords of the forest, even if the real ruler of this forest, the bloodtooth black panther, encounters this Orlan python and wants to attack, he has to weigh the danger.

The mission given by Guliglan is simple, bring back an Orlan python! At first, the three people who got the news had serious faces, but they couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts. The three of them, who have been thinking about how to complete the task better and easier for the past two years, naturally got along with each other.

Bringing back an Orlan python doesn't mean bringing back a giant python, if it's a small Orlan python, isn't it possible to complete the task?? Immediately, Augustus and Tyrone both looked at Borlet, who had a wealth of natural theories and theories, and patted Borlight on the shoulder, which was self-evident.

After two years of life and death, Bollite was no longer familiar with the kind of eyes between Augustus and Tyrone, so he rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "We are very lucky." It's summer, and the snake has just come out of its sting, and it's the season for mating and laying eggs, so we can look for a female Orlan python, follow him, and finally get the snake eggs that are about to hatch! ”

Augustus was stunned, took a breath, looked at Tyrone, who was also sluggish, and said, "This is really a challenge. What a heart-pounding thing! Tyrone, what do you say? ”

Tyrone nodded, a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I want to be opportunistic." How is it possible without paying a price? The shortcut is a shortcut because it's remote, Augustus, that's what you told us. Have you forgotten? ”

Augustus smiled helplessly, looked at the two pairs of excited eyes, and said, "Since it has been decided." Then do it! ”

The trio then entered the Stambod Forest.

Listen to Borwright's words, pay attention to the place where the Orlan python often haunts, and very easily find an Orlan python under a towering ancient tree, and finally follow the Orlan python to the place where he lays eggs, and finally wait for the baby snake to hatch.

But when the last three went to fetch the eggs of the python that were about to hatch, another Orlan python suddenly appeared, and the size of this python was comparable to the size of the Orlan python that had left, and a battle was inevitable.

Tyrone, the most dexterous of the three, lured and provoked the Orlan python and brought the python into the trap stake that was originally arranged just in case, Borlight held a bow and arrow, and designed the Orlan python that was restricted from moving flexibly when entering the trap, and finally Augustus was in charge of the final accident with the dagger.

Tyrone smoothly introduced the python into the trap, and Borlet also shot an arrow through the body of the Orlan python with great ease, but they underestimated the vitality and cunning of the python, and when Augustus walked towards the huge python, the dying python suddenly opened its mouth and bit Augustus's arm fiercely.

Augustus was also shocked by this sudden change, but Augustus did not remain sluggish in the face of the dangerous death, and immediately inserted two daggers from his waist into the eyes of the Orlan python, and then fell to the ground, kicking back with both feet and hands.

Tyrone and Bollite also rushed up immediately, blocking the rhythm of the python's attack, and buying Augustus time to stand up and breathe. In the end, the three of them fought hard, using traps, bows and arrows, and daggers, and finally got rid of the python.

Immediately, I just saw that scene.

Augustus held on to his last breath of strength, got up and cut off the head of the giant python, skillfully wrapped it, and said to Borlet and Tyrone, who were already paralyzed on the ground on the other side: "Quick, we must leave quickly, if there is another Orlan python, then we will really have to explain here!" ”

The ** of survival stimulates the potential of life, and the three people who have exhausted their original strength and spirit hold on to their last strength, and finally get out of the Steinbo Forest that worries and fears them. As soon as they walked out of the forest, the three Augustus were immediately relieved, and then fainted.

They believed that Guliglan would eventually throw them into that hot spring and use this strange hot spring to heal their wounds.

――――――

The three of them who came to their senses lay in the familiar hot springs, and an indescribable sense of pleasure rose in their hearts. Baulet made a splash and laughed happily: "This is the thirteenth mission!" ”

Augustus closed his eyes to feel the tranquility of this moment, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a fortunate thing, we have survived these two years!" ”

A smile appeared on Tyrone's grim face, but he still didn't say anything as usual.

Pouring warm water on his body, Borlaite had a very happy expression on his face, he looked at the strange mountain peaks opposite the hot springs, and said with a smile: "Do you know what my mind is headed for the first time I saw the Steinbod Forest? ”

With a teasing smile on his face, Augustus teased, "Could it be that our Venerable Borlaite wondered if he would meet a beautiful female elf in the forest at that time?" And then start a wonderful love? ”

Borlet shook his head with a smile and said: "My dream since childhood is to be a bard who can travel all over the Valoran continent, and when I am old after traveling to the Valoran continent that day, I hope that I can sleep quietly in a quiet and quiet place, and only pass on my immortal poems!" When I saw Stambod Forest, I had this dream that I had forgotten for a long time. ”

People sometimes do a lot of things that they are unwilling to do but have to do with external things, which Augustus has long known, so he did not express too much feeling for Borlet's words, he gently patted Borlight on the shoulder and said: "I used to have a dream, hoping to eat and drink and wait for death, but a commoner without any wealth is destined not to be so unscrupulous, he needs to survive, so this great dream has just been born because of its extravagance and irrationality is shattered!" ”

Watering and washing the bloodstains on his body, Tyrone looked up at Augustus in surprise and said, "I rarely heard you mention things in Alder City before, it seems to be very taboo, but why are you willing to mention it again today??" ”

Augustus did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, looked at Borlaite with a somewhat cautious look, put his hands that still had the smell of Orlan python blood in the hot spring and rubbed it twice, and then said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to mention it, but there is nothing to mention at all!" The events during this period can be simply said in one sentence: a teenager who dreams of eating and drinking and waiting for death accidentally gets the favor of a certain big man one day, and finally goes on an unknown journey! ”

"Neither the commoners nor the nobles have the right to decide their own fate, but the nobles have the ability to tamper with the fate of the commoners! And the civilians can only accept it! Augustus said calmly, with no frustration, sadness and resentment in his words, only indifference to the affairs of the world.

Borlet went directly into the hot spring, and after more than a minute, he came out, looked at Tyrone with a silent face and Augustus with a faint smile on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Suddenly I feel that this noble status in me is so heavy and disgusting!" ”

"Wow!"

Splash!

Tyrone stood up, jumped forward, jumped directly out of the hot spring, sat on a smooth rock, looked at the dark sky, and said in a low voice: "Slaves, commoners, rich people, nobles, this is the hierarchical structure of any country in Noxus or even Valoran!" It is undeniable that many commoners hate and fear aristocrats, but it is also undeniable that those commoners who hate nobility and fear nobility do not want to be a nobleman in their hearts? ? ”

"The true aristocracy is not afraid of the provocations of slaves, commoners, the rich, or even the nobles of considerable status, and this kind of aristocracy can be as stable as a mountain even in the whirlpool of adversity, and find a way to the supremacy in the midst of the murderous dilemma. Borlet, although I hate to admit it, I have to admit that you are such a nobleman. ”

Borwette grinned and smiled brightly.

Tyrone is the most taciturn of the three, and although they have been together for two years, Tyrone doesn't talk much to them. But every time you speak, it can play a decisive role.

At this moment, Augustus felt from Tyrone's always cold and even cold face that only a wise man who has gone through the baptism of time should have insight into the world. (To be continued.) )
