Chapter 48: The Biography of General Burnham
"While others have been digging their minds to hold the Noxian scepter, I have thought about how to throw it away; When others think about how to forget everything that makes me callous, I desperately recall the two figures that I can't forget with a glass of drunkenness, but have been blurred; I was pushed to the top by fate, but I only remember the two figures that had blurred with the years when I was at the low point of my life, and my Burnham refused to be a doll of God. —A Biography of Burnham Duckwell.
Chillis listened carefully as Augustus held a thick biography of Burnham Darkwell and read the contents of the book word by word. And Augustus finished reading volume after volume, and did not have the intention of stopping.
It was clear to her that this biography of Burnham Darkwell was not read to her, but to General Burnham, who had fallen asleep forever.
For Burnham Darkwell, who has been firmly holding the Noxian royal power that originally belonged to the royal blood of the Stuart family for half a century, the emotions of Gilis Stuart, who has always been not generous, are very complicated, Burnham Darkwell, the ruler of Noxus, is obviously very inseparable from the death of his father Nicocage the Great, but it is also this old man who adopted her and gave her the opportunity to inherit the Noxian imperial power that Stuart should have skills.
If Burnham had been alive, Kiris would not have minded showing a bright smile that did not seem hypocritical to this old man who controlled monstrous power, and then thought about how to drag this Burnham general who stood at the pinnacle of power into the abyss of hell.
Unfortunately, she regretted that she couldn't do this herself.
Burnham is dead!
Qilisi's expression is complicated, grateful? Maybe some, hatred? Maybe there are some. But none of this seems to matter anymore, does it? Because of Burnham, the ruler of Valoran, who was once known for his violence, ruthlessness, and iron-bloodedness, left Valoran forever.
Qilisi sat up straight, showing the old man the respect she deserved, and glanced at her bloodshot eyes, which were very difficult. But Augustus, who was very meticulous in reciting the "Biography of Burnham Darkwell", glanced at General Burnham who had left the Valoran continent peacefully and returned to God's arms, but no nobles had visited St. Peter's Castle, and the corners of Kissie's mouth hooked up a sneer.
"The old guys of the Bacon family, the Constantine family, and the Darkwell family who have been staring at the crown of the Noxian Empire for a long, long time will probably not talk about this opportunity! The crown, if they knew they were going to see God like General Burnham, would they still favor that dazzling crown? If the answer is yes, I wouldn't mind giving it to them! Kiris muttered to herself. A quote from Augustus came to his ears: "A wise nobleman always knows how to advance and retreat gracefully, but General Burnham does not need it, and his direction is only forward, forward." In the face of less powerful forces, the so-called faith and power are just dust that can be brushed away from clothes! ”
Chillis glanced at Augustus, and found that Augustus, who read this sentence, did not deliberately remind himself, but read the content of the biography very calmly, looking at Augustus, who General Burnham rarely described in words during his lifetime, but which General Burnham paid attention to in a very many skillful ways. Chillis suddenly had a very strange feeling that this young knight, who was about to become Lord of Ferreljord, might be in charge of the future of Valoran.
An unrealistic thought, Kiris took a deep breath. Squinting his eyes, he glanced deeply at Augustus. The answer was a bit disappointing to Kiris, perhaps because the young knight had been in the aristocratic world for a long time and had learned too many camouflage skills, and the thoughtful Kiris could not see a trace. Or perhaps the young knight was reading his own book, The Biography of Burnham Darkwell
But who knows?
――――
[Not everyone can be received by God, and General Burnham was obviously very lucky to be received by God before he died. God asked him to answer two questions, and if these two questions were satisfactory to God, God was willing to use his magic power to let General Burnham return to the continent of Valoran!
General Burnham nodded with a very calm smile.
God asked, "Do you regret that according to the angels who kept records of earthly things, at least 900,000 people died during your lifetime because of you?" ”
General Burnham was slightly stunned. Then he asked, "Why should I regret it?" ”
God opened his mouth and asked, "You have lived in Valoran for a hundred and thirty-four years, but you have no friends in Valoran, if I were given the opportunity to start over, what would you choose?" ”
General Burnham sighed: "Dear God, let me go back in time, I am afraid that not only will I have no friends, but also no enemies!" As a military man, as a politician, as a true Noxian ruler, one must not give up anything that threatens oneself. ”
God was silent.
General Burnham smiled and asked, "Is my answer satisfactory to you, God?" ”
God didn't speak!
General Burnham smiled and said, "Whether it is hell or heaven or earth, this moment is enough for me!" ”
God couldn't help but open his mouth and asked, "Why?" ”
General Burnham said: "Glory, power, and youth are just rubbish that I can throw away, and the thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't hold the hands of both of them firmly, and the thing that annoys me the most is that I have forgotten what they look like, but I remember them when my soul is out of my body, Helen and Irett." ”
God looked at the stubborn believer in front of him and sighed softly: "Where they are there is heaven, and where there is no them, even heaven is hell!" How can I, my believers, fail to fulfill you? Let's go to heaven! ”
Then General Burnham went to hell!
General Burnham smiled, they are in hell, even in hell, isn't there a place for them to be in heaven? —A Biography of Burnham Duckwell
At this time, Augustus had a dry mouth, his face was pale as if he had been seriously ill, and a pair of eyes that were once sharp and bright, and the eyes were full of bloodshots, both mentally and physically, Augustus was extremely tired.
A biography of Burnham has nearly 100,000 words, and it took Augustus a total of nine hours to read this "Biography of Burnham Darkwell" word for word, word for word, very fluently.
"I think General Burnham will love this biography, it's the most interesting and memorable biography I've ever heard!" Chillis handed to Augustus with a glass of champagne.
Augustus took a small sip and smiled softly, biography? How many people go to see biographies full of politicians' tactics and pompous tactics? Augustus did not have any smugness in his heart for this praise of Killis, he glanced at General Burnham lying on the grass piled up with flowers, and said softly: "A series of great deeds created by General Burnham on the continent of Valoran have already made Valoran's historians, military scientists, politicians, and strategists analyze it with thick pen and ink, and write no less than 100 thick works. I have to say that this is really a regrettable thing! ”
Chillis smiled, she liked Augustus's humor and humor, in the Eurastin Cathedral, Chillis had many choices, no one would refuse a beautiful woman who appeared in the sacred and solemn Eurustin Cathedral, a beautiful woman who was a top celebrity in both dress and dress, but Chillis only chose Augustus who sat on a bench with a red wine glass and calmly talked to a priest who was at least old enough to be his grandfather, and this was not just the coincidence of Lady Luck, but the reason.
"Augustus, perhaps I should allow you to spend a few days in General Burnham's study, and perhaps you can learn more about this old man with supreme authority in Noxus!" Qilisi looked at the knight in front of her with a smile on his face that was not mixed with any false emotions, and said softly.
Augustus slowly stood up, closed the Biography of Burnham Darkwell, solemnly handed it to Kiris with both hands, and said respectfully: "Trouble Princess Kiris, you will activate this book at the same time at General Burnham's funeral!" ”
Chillis was a little surprised, a pair of beautiful eyes showed a look of disbelief, staring at Augustus with wide eyes, full of strangeness, and said: "Augustus, are you really sure that this book will be activated at the same time as General Burnham's body?" ”
Augustus showed a warm smile on his face, and then glanced down at the body of General Burnham, which was carefully guarded by Kiris, and sighed softly: "This book is written about General Burnham, since General Burnham has read it, what does it matter if others don't read it?" After a pause, Augustus looked up at the already dark sky and muttered, "How can a sun that has disappeared attract the attention of people who are in the midst of a long dark night?" Glory represents the past, and glory belongs only to the living! ”
Then Augustus respectfully bowed to Kiris, left a word in his mouth, and left.
Sitting on the grass, she looked at the body of General Burnham beside her, recalling in her mind the words that Augustus had conveyed to him for General Burnham: "She came alone from the sacred to eternal immortality." ”
"Uncle Burnham, is this your last wish to me?" Kiris, who sat on the grass in a daze, was silent for a long time, looking up at the stars in the sky and muttering to herself. (To be continued.) )
