"You don't understand. This has a lot to do with it. It even involves the legacy of the Noxus disaster... and many of our personal factors. Everyone understands the truth, but everyone has scruples and fetters. We are not
An adventurer, I am also a family man.”
Seti suddenly sighed, his face looking melancholy and sighing.
Lin Luo did not ask these questions first, but said:
"As a courtesy, I have confirmed my identity to you. You should also let me see your identity, right?"
Although the spirit dragon scales guided him here, he had to confirm it with his own eyes to be safe.
Seti did not hide anything. He quickly turned around and went to the deep hall. After a while, he came out holding a red sandalwood treasure box. When he opened the lid of the box, he saw a piece of dragon scales that looked like blazing flames.
Lin Luo took a closer look and saw the specific information about this object.

[Evaluation: The spirit of the true dragon, the ninety-nine are unified, the dragons gather together, and the world is unified]
Lin Luo was stunned by the properties of this fire dragon scale!
The effect of this special meow is also too powerful, completely opposite to that of my own spirit dragon scales.
The spirit dragon scales are purely functional, while the fire dragon scales are purely combat-based. One passive and two active are both combat skills. They have real damage, serious damage, and damage exemption. This is like a fortress when used in this book, okay?
?
Apparently because of the fire dragon scales, Seti grew from a low-income gangster to the underground emperor of Arno. It would have been impossible without the secret help of the fire dragon scales.
"You just said that Lord Shenlong is related to the war legacy of the Noxa Disaster?"
Lin Luo frowned slightly. He actually didn't know much about the war of aggression that could be said to be the most terrifying and cruel one under the Rune Wars.
He only knew that the tyrant led his cavalry to invade this eastern land, and that Ionia later resisted and drove away the invaders.
But that war lasted for more than ten years, and the details of the real experience, the changed human nature, the changes in Ionia's philosophy from top to bottom, the split of factions... all of this cannot be ignored.
Lin Luo had no way of hearing about it, he could only really learn it from people who had experienced the war.
And if he remembered correctly, the reason why Seti understands war better than ordinary people is because of a reason that almost only he can know...
His father was a Noxian officer.
That's right, even looking at the whole of Ionia, Seti's life experience is very rare, and can even be said to be unique.
During the war, Ionia hated Noxus so much that it wanted to eat its flesh. It was impossible for the Ionians to have a good relationship with the Noxians, let alone become one.
Get married and become a family.
Seti's father was an anomaly, and his mother was also an anomaly, which resulted in a 'abnormal' love and a family that was despised by the world.
Lin Luo guessed that Sett must have heard something from his Noxian officer father when he was very young, so he knew the secrets of war that ordinary people didn't know.
And if he guessed correctly, Seti's father was not a minor official, but a very famous army commander, second only to the legendary hero.
Otherwise, his father would not be eligible to apply for a colonial order to establish the city of Arno as a colony. Part of the reason why the latter did this was obviously to protect the people here, his wife and son, and avoid war.
of intrusion.
Going back to the previous question, Sett said that the dragon scales matter is related to the legacy of the war. Is it also related to Noxus?
"Yes, other Venerable Shenlong may also know some of this news, but they definitely don't know as much as I do."
Hauser took a deep breath and did not hide it from Lin Luo.
After confirming that he was also a Divine Dragon Venerable, there was no need to hide some things.
"About the Noxian Warlord?"
Lin Luo asked.
"You are very smart, yes, you are the Noxan warlord."
Seti's face was solemn and he said in a serious tone:
"Many people now believe that Noxus was defeated by Ionia. This was the only failure in the history of Noxus' invasion. This is something to be proud of."
When Seti said this, he suddenly shook his head and said:
"But they were wrong, very wrong."
Lin Luo's pupils shrank, and she thought about it a little.
He began to think in a direction that had never appeared in the first place.
"Could it be that……"
"Yes, the Noxian invasion did fail, but this does not mean... they admitted failure, let alone accepted failure. Moreover, that battle was an unprecedented shame and humiliation for Noxus. Based on their war beliefs,
, will definitely make a comeback again.”
Seti said in a deep voice:
"Before that, today's Ionia fell into a brief period of calm and peace, because Lord Shenlong did not appear. What I mean is...Ionia has an ancient tradition, that is, whenever this land
When a terrible disaster occurs, the nine Dragon Lords will gather to invite the dragon to eliminate these disasters, such as the last disaster in Noxus."
His words gradually made Lin Luo understand the seriousness of the matter.
"Now the two countries are in a state of silent hatred and observation of each other, and they will not dare to act rashly. But once the Dragon Lord of Ionia gathers again, it will almost be clear that Ionia has suffered a huge disaster...
Do you know the character of the Noxians? Do you know what measures the country Noxus will take when it sees civil strife in Ionia? You may know, but you definitely don’t know as much as I do!”
Seti's tone was extremely solemn and he said almost word for word:
"Because my father is a Noxian, and he is a high-ranking Noxian officer!"
After hearing this, Lin Luo realized the seriousness of the matter. He also gradually understood that some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Once you understand them deeply, you will find that they are full of difficulties and dilemmas.
Just like what the other person said now.
According to Ionian tradition, the Divine Dragon Lord will appear only when this land faces a catastrophe. This Noxus must know, because they were defeated by the Divine Dragon, and now if the Divine Dragon Lord is here
Doesn’t this gathering prove Ionia’s plight?
As Sett said, no one knows Noxus better than he does.
Their army will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to invade. Will the second Noxian disaster break out in Ionia?
Lin Luo thought:
"We can definitely move secretly."
Seti shook his head and said:
"It is almost impossible. The appearance of Lord Shenlong has long been remembered by Noxus, and I also tell you a very ridiculous and sad news... Noxus spies have already penetrated into the politics of various provinces of Ionia.
The central members of many provinces are Noxian spies, but there is no clear evidence. Otherwise, why do you think Ionia’s factional disputes are so entangled?"
He sneered and said:
"Real Ionians are eager to unite. Those who cause destruction are all Noxian spies and moles, but they have a lot of popular support. Ionia is a democratic alliance province.
No one has any reason to punish those spies without evidence. Doing so will arouse resistance from the people, so the situation in Ionia has not improved yet."
The more Lin Luo listened, the more his scalp became numb and his head felt completely enlarged.
He had never thought that so many things were involved, and he had a hunch that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and there would definitely be even bigger and more shocking secrets in the future, and all of this needed to be explored by himself.
Lin Luo said:
"So you don't want to expose the identity of Lord Shenlong, and you are afraid that people from Noxus will target you?"
Seti chuckled:
"Don't underestimate me. I'm not afraid of those guys. It's just that I said that everyone has weaknesses. My mother, my underground world industry and my subordinates all need to be taken care of by me personally. If I go with you
, what should my mother do?”
"And you don't seem to know how scary the spiritual world is. Do you think that the spiritual world is a very safe world that you can enter at will and come out as you please? You don't really think so, do you?"
Seti suddenly asked Lin Luo a question.
Lin Luo frowned and had an ominous premonition:
"What's the meaning?"
"I might as well tell you that four of the last Shenlong Lords died in the spiritual world. The last owner of the fire dragon scales here was one of them. Later, the dragon scales wandered between heaven and earth and were obtained by a wandering boxer.
Later, I defeated him and got this fire dragon scale..."
Seti said in a cold tone:
"The previous Fire Dragon Lord has obviously fallen. And if I guessed correctly, the previous Lord of the Spirit Dragon Scales in your hand has also fallen. Otherwise, it is impossible for you not to know this news. You are also the new successor to the Spirit Dragon Scales.
Or?"
Lin Luo's heart thumped, and she realized that the other party was not lying to her.
Because when he left, Udyr told himself that this dragon scale was given to him by his teacher, the Venerable Spirit Dragon. But now that he learned the importance of this treasure, Lin Luo realized that this thing was impossible.
Give it to disciples casually, unless there is a possibility...
He is dead.
This treasure was regarded as a relic and passed on to his disciples.
That's why later, because Udyr couldn't use the dragon scale, he passed it on to G'an, and G'an couldn't really use it, so he finally passed it on to himself.
Because of the Freljord War, he gained the approval of the divine dragon, and was able to truly use this dragon scale.
This completely proves that the spiritual world is extremely dangerous.
Even if you are as powerful as Lord Shenlong, you are still in danger of falling after entering!
This is the most important thing!
"No wonder no wonder..."
Lin Luo murmured a few words and finally understood.
Why did Irelia say that except for a few Dragon Lords, the other new Dragon Lords were avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally.
The reason for avoiding her is very simple, because since they are the Divine Dragon Lord, they need to bear corresponding responsibilities, but they do not want to fall into real danger, but they cannot directly reject Irelia, so they can only live in seclusion and avoid Ai Relia.
Relia, avoiding the so-called responsibility.
For Seti now, in addition to his life safety, he must also protect his underground empire and his mother.
Seti is a top-notch dutiful son.
When he was most confused and painful in his childhood, it was his mother who accompanied him. Children from single-parent families are often more filial to their elders. Moreover, Seti's mother was very kind to him and was almost a good medicine for his soul. She would soothe his inner pain every time.
Trauma, this is also the fundamental reason why Seti can become a truly powerful and mentally strong boss.
"You may not be aware of the seriousness of the matter. If this continues, Ionia will not escape the end of destruction, even you. If you lose the power of all spirits, or the whole of Ionia loses the power of all spirits, you
Can you imagine this situation?"
Lin Luo also solemnly explained to him the dangers facing Ionia.
Sett may have known a little before this, but he would never know as much as Irelia.
When Lin Luo said at the end that the spiritual world might collapse and Ionia might face catastrophe, his expression completely changed.
"Ionia is facing such a disaster?"
Seti was obviously in disbelief, but reason told him that what Lin Luo said was not wrong. The Spirit Dragon Master had almost no power, but his duty was to gather the other eight masters, so it was impossible to joke about this kind of thing.
.
"So now, how should you choose?"
Lin Luo looked directly at Seti:
"You have to know that no eggs are left intact when a nest is overturned. If Ionia is about to collapse, it will not be a disaster for Arno, but a disaster for the entire country. If your mother were here, what do you think she would choose?
"
Lin Luo thought about it just now and found that it is not difficult to solve the problem in front of Seti. Generally speaking, there are two ways.
The first type is the simplest. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must also be tied.
Since the starting point of Seti's worries is his mother, then the problem should be solved through his mother. Lin Luo can try to communicate with his mother to achieve a situation where Seti agrees to take action.
The second option is to use your own power on a large scale, mobilizing the power of the Legion of Heroes and even the Parliamentary Alliance to protect the safety of the entire Arno during the mission.
This task requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources.
But there was nothing that could be done at this point, so Lin Luo had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
Seti's expression changed slightly and he said:
"I have known her decision for a long time. She does not want me to leave Arnault. I must stay with her in her later years. This is also her own idea."
Lin Luo looked at him quietly, but in her mind she was inferring the authenticity of these words based on the details of his expression.
He suddenly remembered that he had met Seti a long time ago, and if he remembered correctly, he had crossed the sea from Ionia through Demacia, and then went to the heroic city-state and Noxus.
, said to be looking for her mother.
As soon as this idea appeared, Lin Luo's eyes immediately lit up!
He suddenly noticed all the key information in it!
"Seti, I remember that you were looking for your mother before. She was in the Heroic City-State, right?"
Lin Luo suddenly spoke. As expected, these words made the other party's expression change slightly, but he did not admit it, nor did he deny it outright.
"There must be a reason for this, right? It can't happen out of thin air, right?"
Lin Luo continued to ask, staring at Seti.
The latter's expression was obviously not quite right, which confirmed Lin Luo's suspicion.
"Can you let me have a few words with your mother? Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. You also know my identity, and you know my purpose even more clearly."
Lin Luo was probably certain that the way to complete the task might not lie with Seti, but with his mother.
"I said! No!"
Seti answered emotionally, with a powerful aura lingering all over his body.
Lin Luo looked at him without changing his expression:
"When you were looking for your mother, it was most likely because she left without saying goodbye, right? But what was the reason for leaving without saying goodbye? She loves you very much, and she would be even more reluctant to leave you than you are, but what makes her endure this reluctance?
?Let me guess..."
Seti's face turned red and he said:
"It's none of your business!!"
Lin Luo spoke slowly:
"Maybe it's because she sensed something. She realized that some things are more precious than the love between mother and child. At this time, I can only think of one factor... that is the love for hometown. She knows that you have fire dragon scales.
Is that right? Did you tell her yourself?"
When he said this, the blush on Seti's face had gradually subsided and turned into a feeling of heaviness and exhaustion. He closed his eyes and sat on the chair, having lost the strength to talk back.
And this only shows one possibility, Lin Luo's guess is right.
Not only was it right, but it also pointed out the contradictions and complexities in his heart, and because Lin Luo and he were both one of the Dragon Masters, and they were like-minded people, he would not become angry because he knew that at least in the responsibility
On the other hand, Lin Luo has the courage to stand up, which is much better than him.
Lin Luo continued:
"As the Fire Dragon Lord, you actually know your responsibilities very well in your heart. In the days when you were escaping in the past, your sense of responsibility was constantly lashing you every day and night, making you exhausted physically and mentally, and suffering, but you always
You like to complain to your mother when you are suffering internally, so she knows the secret."
"The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. After your mother knew everything, she understood the seriousness of the matter better than you, so she took the initiative to leave Arno a long time ago. It was not an accident that you passed through Demacia to find your mother.
, but she didn’t want to be a burden to you, so she went to a place where you don’t have to worry..."
Lin Luo said word by word:
"It's a heroic city-state, right? It's a new city-state in Runeterra. Vastaya people can live there as equals and are very safe. When your mother went to that place, she already told you what to do with her actions, but
You finally traveled across mountains and rivers to bring her back, is that right?"
When Lin Luo's lengthy reasoning ended, Seti had fallen silent.
In fact, what Lin Luo said was not completely correct, but he almost pointed out the core of the incident. At least in terms of his mother's decision, it was exactly the same as what he said.
"Seti, what are you running from?"
Lin Luo's voice suddenly became louder and more serious.
"You are the Divine Dragon Lord, right? It is the Divine Dragon Lord's duty to stand up when there is a crisis in Ionia, right? It was the fire dragon scales that gave you powerful power, allowing you to achieve your current status and strength.
Right? But you accepted the power of Lord Fire Dragon, but you are unwilling to take on the responsibilities you deserve. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Lin Luo did not intend to convince the other party with just his words, and he had never been a person who liked to talk.
So now that he has finished speaking the truth, he will start to get serious.
A cold breath of death emanated from Lin Luo's body, making his voice extremely cold:
"If you really don't want to take action, then I have one last way, which is to hand over the fire dragon scales, and I will find another suitable person. There will always be someone willing to take on the responsibility of Lord Shenlong!"
No one expected that the situation there suddenly became anxious.
Even Lin Luo himself didn't expect that his intention was not to make fire dragon scales at all, but as he said it, he seemed to have to make up his mind involuntarily.
But things have come to this, it can only be like this.
Lin Luo didn't mind taking it by force. It was not difficult for him to activate the power of the gods. There was always someone who refused to give in and had to use his trump card. He didn't mind taking action now.
Seti's face was as cold as ice. He didn't expect Lin Luo's reaction to be so strong.
But he understood better that the other party wanted his fire dragon scales not for covetousness or to keep them for himself, but because he really wanted to save the spiritual world of Ionia.
He is not a completely unreasonable person, otherwise he would not have been chosen by Shenlong.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly a hint of unruly and unruly expression appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"That's okay. If you can convince me just by talking, I won't be willing to do it! Since you are trying to reason with me, you must show some strength and let me see how powerful you are, Linglong.
Your Majesty!"
Seti shouted in a deep voice:
"I promise you now, as long as you can defeat me! No... you don't even have to defeat me. As long as you can tie with me, then I will recognize your strength. I can agree to your conditions, but you must also agree.
I have one condition!”
After the words fell, Lin Luo felt happy. As expected, to face such a legendary hero, you not only have to be sharp-tongued, but you also have to have real skills. Fortunately, he has both.
The most important thing is that things took a turn for the better and the mission was triggered!
As long as you complete the task, it means that Fire Dragon Lord Seti has successfully passed this level!
This chapter has been completed!
