Chapter 299 The Past of the Augustus Family (4000)
In the room that is neither big nor small, the incense candle used to assist the caster's concentrating and calmness burns quietly, and the fresh and elegant fragrance surrounds the surroundings, like a gentle big hand trying to soothe all anxiety.
However, the turbulent waves in the hearts of everyone present were not so easy to calm down.
"The Augustus family is also known as the Gun Flame Family. It is an emerging family that rose during the Charles VII period. Because it was a nobleman who tried his best to serve Charles VII during the Industrial Revolution, but its background is shallow and far less than that of other old nobles."
Looking at the thoughtful faces of Allen and Renard, Austin chuckled, then raised his head and said calmly.
The blood in his eyes seemed to have diminished a lot, no longer being as good as before, but he could still see the turbulent and intense emotions lurking.
Hearing Austin speak, Allen and Renard couldn't help but look up and look directly at each other, and began to listen seriously.
Although I had a rough guess in my mind, I still needed exact news to determine my guess in my mind.
"You must be curious, why I'm here, right?"
Looking at the eyes of the two, although Austin did not show any obvious expression on his face, he still couldn't help but jump in his heart.
After all, if the other party does not want to get involved in this muddy water, he should have left before he speaks.
But since the other party continues to sit there safely and continues to listen to his speech, it means they want to help him.
This made him feel happy, not only because of the other party’s support, but also because of the extremely powerful help.
Not to mention the other side, the combat power of the two silver levels is enough to clear most obstacles.
"Indeed, I don't know very well about the reason. Renard may know something, but he hasn't learned the most fundamental one."
Allen glanced at Renard and replied intently looking at Austin's eyes.
"Although there are regulations that the descendants of nobles in the empire are not allowed to serve in the sphere of influence and near the family, and although the major nobles dare not provoke this rule openly, they do have many methods in secret. After all, living in this world will inevitably lead to relationships."
"So although the nobles will not receive direct help from the family, they will still obtain indirect support with the help of the family's resources."
"I used to think that's the case for you, but now I think there are many problems, because no one will let the family members get thousands of miles away from home, cross the poles of the empire, and work in a place where their sphere of influence is extremely weak."
Allen's expression was extremely cautious, as if he grasped some possible contexts.
It is true that as he said, Austin's situation is extremely abnormal and unreasonable.
Extraordinary knowledge requires accumulation step by step, but the relationship and power struggle within the empire can be quickly and quickly. Although there may be some fallacies and a new entry, it can at least give Allen a general understanding.
Although Allen has not really seen the relevant nobles and figures, he already has the impression of most of the power of this empire in his mind.
Of course, for Allen, as a nail placed in the south of the empire, the Gun Flame Family, was still fresh in his memory.
This is also the reason why he said that before.
You should know that although in a sense, the Gun Flame family is the representative of the reformists and their own people.
But you should know that when Charles VII first divided the feudal, he had already placed the Augustus family in the south of the empire.
Therefore, the people in their northern border are actually only similar to each other in terms of political attributes, but their relationship does not seem very close. Maybe they are not as close as those of the other party and those guys from the southern family. Of course, it goes without saying how many superficial friendships there are.
This is also the reason why Allen wondered why the other party came to the North after understanding Austin's identity.
Because in a sense, Augustus, who was placed in the south by the imperial emperors, was often an extremely difficult situation.
On the one hand, we are far away from the support of our natural allies and can only work hard from the beginning. On the other hand, we have to face the suppression of the conservatives and struggle to survive in difficulties and obstacles.
It can be said that if the imperial emperor had not had the generous gifts and rewards of their nail households, and the mutual support of several reliable nail households and allies, no one would have been willing to accept this task.
After all, no matter how good the rewards and rewards are, they need to be obtained with a life.
Of course, to be honest, those who were favored by Charles VII to be placed in the south of the empire were considered to be one of the best generals and powerful players in the reformists a hundred years ago, in the secret turbulent and prosperous changes on the surface, otherwise they would not have been favored to carry out such difficult tasks.
But how to say it, the stubborn power of the empire, or the conservatives, is indeed too great. It is already difficult for them to continue to stand in the south for this century. I don’t know what they have made to make outstanding achievements.
However, now it seems that the peace of the century has not been maintained. No, it should be said that it has been broken long ago.
Otherwise, Austin wouldn't have come to the north.
However, he didn't have to continue thinking, because Austin began to tell the two of them all.
"You already know my full name, Austin Augustus, I am the eldest son of Deers Augustus, the previous Count of Gunfire, and the only son."
Hearing this, Allen had automatically figured out a bunch of dramas fighting for power and profit in his mind.
Renard's face, who was beside him, couldn't help but become cautious, and his glareful eyes became solid.
"The contemporary Count of Gun Flame, Dalton Augustus, is my second uncle."
Hearing this, the speculation that the Austin surname began to take root and sprout when he first heard the Austin surname finally landed and beared the final fruit.
However, Alan did not have any joy in guessing the answer, but only a deep sorrow.
He could see and feel that when Austin mentioned this name, in addition to the anger that could not be extinguished even if it was overwhelming, there was also a deep and difficult sadness that could not be dissipated.
He didn't know the source of this sadness, but he was willing to continue listening.
Because Austin's back pain has been suppressed for too long.
"I heard that the previous generation of Gun Flame Earl died of illness?"
Renard asked carefully, scrupulously at Austin's mood, but his doubts could be seen.
"Ha, died of illness."
Austin just sneered, and the muscles on his face became a little hideous because of the force.
"Although my father is not a strong man in the Silver Level, he is also a peak in the Black Iron Level. Even if he does not sublimate the essence of life, he cannot get seriously ill when he is in his prime."
"Besides, there are many things in this world that can kill extraordinary people, but there are very few things that can kill a real-powered count of an empire."
Listening to these slightly profound words, Allen and Renard also looked dark, and the guesses in their hearts were proven step by step.
"Eight years ago, my father was attacked on his way to the Southern Noble Conference. Although those people were defeated, my father was seriously injured."
"I only got back for a month and died of serious injuries."
Speaking of this, Austin raised his head slightly and closed his eyes, but a trace of crystal flashed across the corner of his eyes.
At the same time, Boll, who was standing next to Austin, burst into a terrifying murderous intent, as if a wounded beast was about to kill all the enemies in front of him.
Allen and Renard did not rush to interrupt each other, but just waited quietly for Austin to reply.
It took Austin a while to calm down his overly turbulent emotions and calm down again.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for this day for too long."
Austin smiled at Allen and the others, but the smile was just a manifestation of etiquette and did not have much emotion.
Alan naturally knew that this was not aimed at him, so he didn't care.
"We understand."
There was a mysterious emotion surging in Allen's chest, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only express his kindness in this way.
He could see that after receiving the letter, Austin's emotions were in a state of turbulence, passionate, and uneasy. This state cannot be said to be bad. After all, if a person does not have such enthusiasm, it will be difficult for him to enter the silver.
But for someone like Austin who has always been calm and indifferent, being too emotional can easily cause him to have flaws and make irreversible mistakes.
However, although Alan knew these principles, he did not stop the other party from thinking. After all, in this world, it is always easy to know and difficult to do. As mentioned before, Austin has indeed endured it for too long.
"Although my father's death brought great pain to our family, fortunately he made enough arrangements in the last month, so the Augustus family did not damage much strength."
"After all, in today's era, a supernatural nobleman at the peak of the Black Iron Level has a political significance far exceeding his strength."
Hearing this, Allen and Renard nodded in agreement.
Indeed, in today's era, although the Black Iron-level extraordinary people are still considered extraordinary, they can be killed by ordinary people who are not extraordinary people. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, they even require elite soldiers and excellent thermal weapons and equipment.
And there is no doubt that on a large-scale battlefield, the role of the Black Iron-level warrior is no longer as huge as before.
Of course, this cannot deny the role of low-level extraordinary people. After all, they still have extremely important strategic significance in many places, such as cities, towns and other places where people gather closely.
Moreover, the role of the Black Iron-level Superman in the large-scale battlefield is not as huge as before, and it is not completely useless. Although a superman with a physical fitness of several times or even ten times greater than that of ordinary people, not only one against a hundred people on the battlefield, it is not much different, and its tactical status is far beyond that ordinary people can compare.
What's more, when this era reappears in its extraordinary era, with the emergence of powerful golden-level men and large-scale black iron-level men, it is hard to imagine how much role those legions formed by extraordinary men and those legions with cloud energy can play in the battlefield of this era.
But none of this denies that Austin's words are largely true.
"But." Austin suddenly began to grit his teeth, and the muscles on his face began to pull out and twist more and more forcefully. In this case, Austin had completely abandoned his former demeanor, and he was like a ghost who crawled out of hell just for revenge. "What we all thought was that my second uncle, my father's good brother, had betrayed us at this time."
"On the night my father died, we had not completed the funeral ceremony for him, and my dear second uncle launched a rebellion and seized power."
"call……"
Speaking of this, Austin could no longer suppress his emotions and began to breathe rapidly.
A hot breath blew past Alan and the others, as if to ignite their anger.
"He killed some of the subordinates who supported my father directly, and the rest also sacrificed their lives to cover my escape. Only a few people could protect themselves."
Allen looked at Austin in surprise, as if he was saying that the other party had not cut off the roots.
Although Austin was extremely angry, he also understood what Allen meant, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and answered Allen's question.
"Although Dalton had been preparing for this rebellion for a long time, his preparations were still carried out underground, and all the extremely critical rights were still controlled by my father's people."
"So, in order to allow me to escape safely, to prevent Dalton from fully controlling the rights of the entire Augustus family, and to allow me to one day take back everything my father left me, they reached a certain agreement with Dalton with that rights."
At this time, Austin's mood seemed to have calmed down, and his tone was still the same, but his whole body was much calmer.
Hearing this, Allen nodded in a clear way. As for more, what the other party used to make the transaction and what the transaction was, he did not ask at all.
After all, this is an internal secret of the other family, so I am really embarrassed to inquire.
At this time, everything was clear. Although there were still some doubts in my heart, it was not about the overall situation.
Allen and Renard looked at each other, then looked at Austin together, with their eyes not sharp, nor any shocking momentum, only the simplest sincerity.
The three and two eyes met in an instant, and there seemed to be brilliant sparks flashing in the void.
Chapter completed!
