"I can see that you expanded the Noxus Empire for a longer period of peace, but don't forget that you are more important than the Noxus Empire now. You are the core figure of Runeterra. You are dead.
Runeterra will have to fight a war for at least a hundred years."
"It would be better if we only fight for a hundred years. I won't be in such a hurry."
Lester sighed, opened the second bottle of wine, and poured the third glass of wine.
This time the two of them did not toast, but took a sip and savored the aroma of fermented grain.
"You are from Icathia, so you definitely know Kieran."
Jax was a little surprised.
"Have you met Kieran the Riddler? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know if he is avoiding me on purpose."
"The Riddler...it's true. Kieran is indeed the Riddler. When we first met, he became familiar with me like an old friend. But you don't know why he is the Riddler."
"He has interfered with too many destinies and seen too much destruction. Kieran...he dared not say anything because he didn't know whether the future he told would be a reason for destruction, so
He can only be the Riddler, giving some effective guidance without affecting the world."
"Old Jia, am I doing you a favor? You have to do me a favor too."
Lester turned to look at the flower beds and green plants outside the tavern. Ionia has never lacked the color of life, while Icathia only has purple, beautiful but monotonous silence. So what if this dying star is not the same?
"My stomach was still flat when I left, but when I came back, my stomach was bulging. I asked her what she was doing outside. She only said that she was dealing with matters related to the Kinkou Sect, which delayed her for a few days.
I'm afraid there are many Noxians who want Lester dead, but Lester is too powerful and suppresses these forces.
"It's indeed not easy. Here's to you."
"Don't worry, Cunfeng is ready to die in battle. If you think he is useful, just keep him alive. If you don't like him, kill him. No matter what the outcome, he will thank you."
Lester waved his hand.
"Being the leader of an empire is completely different from that of an independent lord. If I want the empire to follow my pace, I must make changes.
Relying on the victory in Ionia, it was enough to break the aristocratic politics of Noxus. Only by becoming the emperor of Noxus can we completely stabilize the growing territory. Otherwise, the old aristocrats would be in trouble every day.
Holding back in the dark will only slow down the development of the empire."
"If you really become the emperor of Noxus, then you will really become the target of public criticism, among other things."
Jax stared at Lester with eight squinting eyes, looking quite intimidating.
"It's hard to say...but I'm not powerless to resist those guys now. They have too much time to take care of themselves. Otherwise, they would have jumped out and jumped around. As long as I don't do something that makes them unable to sit still, it won't be a big problem."
When it was time for her to learn to speak, Youqin never taught her daughter to call her daddy. Her mother taught her very diligently, and her daughter rarely let her hold her.
Could it be that Meimu is really not my child? Then when did Youqin have an affair with a man outside...Whose child is Meimu Yeoman Texi?"
Lester rubbed his chin. He didn't expect this. In fact, he hadn't moved his body for a long time, and he wasn't too clear about what his own strength was.
He really wanted to know what the Justice Star Spirit's expression was when the Bright Moon Star Spirit, the Blazing Sun Star Spirit, the War Star Spirit, and his two angel 'daughters' all poked him in the butt.
"It's not good to just drink wine without eating meat. How about we cook some meat?"
"The Natural Spirit Sect... is a group of hidden murderous lunatics who value plants and insects more than human life. They often massacre villages without leaving any survivors alive. I have seen the followers of this sect kill one by one, and they deserve to die."
But no matter what, he can't defeat a mortal sword master, right?
"It does make some sense."
After talking about Cunfeng, Lester smiled.
"Oh, I know, the three famous families in Longji Mountain are very good. If Hasagei doesn't want to join the empire, he won't be afraid that I will give him a hard push."
Not even Kalma.
Understanding Lester's motive for fighting so hard, Jax felt heartbroken.
So far, he still hasn't figured out why Runeterra has become a piece of cake coveted by countless people. Perhaps this has something to do with the mystery of the beginning of creation. Unfortunately, his age is not as old as the land under his feet.
A large table of raw and cooked meats was ordered. The raw meat was bloody and the cooked meat was fragrant. They were divided into two sides and the two of them sat down again.
After three rounds of drinking, the two of them stopped talking about those dark and cruel topics.
But it would be impossible for him to 'protect' Youqin with all his heart. Youqin is the Shadow Fist of the Kinkou Sect and a member of the Ryuu Hidden Style. His strength is unfathomable, and he is always arbitrary and domineering.
, he is so elusive that there is no need for his protection, and being protected is not enough.
Jax froze.
"I won't directly agree to something that even you, the commander-in-chief of the empire, would have a headache for. Why don't you tell me first?"
"I agreed, but the ugly thing is ahead. Since he chose to duel with me, the sword has no eyes, I will not be responsible for life or death."
"No, isn't this what I came to you to talk about this time? Cunfeng has long wanted to bring his dojo to join the empire, but I told him not to worry, so he didn't make any move and was waiting for me to pull the strings.
"
Jax nodded and said leisurely.
Both of them were monsters who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. They had not seen each other for a long time, and the meeting did not end until the sun went down.
A short and muscular man walked out of the house wearing a coat, squatted in the yard and lit a pipe. There was indescribable irritation on his face, as if he had not vented his excess energy.
"That's true."
Before this, Alec had never dared to think deeply. After all, Youqin was so powerful and was his childhood sweetheart. He had always been experienced in dealing with things. How could he betray him? But now he had doubts about his own thoughts.
question.
Some words don’t need to be spoken, eyes are enough to express them.
After being silent for a while, Lester suddenly said.
Rubbing his bird's nest-like hair, Alec lowered his head. Youqin's status was not something he could shake at all.
Jax's eyes turned cold.
"Wait a minute, you don't really want to attack the Wind Control Swordsmanship Dojo, do you?"
In other words, as long as Youqin wants to protect the wild man, there is no solution to this matter.
"It's probably a special creature that likes to give away people's heads. It always thinks it's powerful. It likes to show off when someone fucks it. It has a tough mouth."
"So, you agreed?"
Of course, Lester would not be frightened, he just smiled bitterly.
Considering that he had nothing to do recently, Jax nodded.
Thinking that Justice Star Spirit Justis was surrounded by some young men, Lester showed a wicked smile.
"That's just right. I want to entrust you to investigate the affairs of this sect. It's best to find out where their main church is hidden.
Some of the intelligence I have here shows that they are hiding underground. Unfortunately, the terrain and ruins in Ionia are too complicated, with more caves than a hornet's nest. If you move too much, you will alert the snake, so I thought of you, who is experienced,
Fortunately, I know a few experts who also hate the Nature Spirit Sect. The question is, can you provide some special light sources? If you want one that can provide lighting for a long time, it would be too painful to use a torch.
"
"Why, you want to be the Riddler too?"
After they stabbed themselves, they stabbed themselves again, and the expressions on the Justice Star Spirits must have been wonderful.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the waiter."
Jax, who sighed for the third time, was also a little speechless, but it was hard to bring up the matter of Xiyue.
"Don't worry too much about me. My life is much better than yours. When things in Ionia stabilize and I ascend the throne in Noxus, I may rest for a while and spend time with my family... during this time
It’s really too tight.”
Alec has also observed that the look in his eyes is called 'man's sympathy and pity', which means 'brother, you have to be strong'.
"Those guys in the sky will not agree that there is such a powerful centralized state on the earth. It is difficult to say whether the death of the last owner of the Immortal Fortress has something to do with the people above."
His name is Alec, and he has a beautiful wife named Youqin, who is the leader of Longyinliu's sect. His lovely daughter is already over a year old. They are obviously two things worthy of pride and joy... Why does it feel so awkward to think about it now?
?
I'm afraid Lester has never said these words to anyone else.
Jax filled the glass half full and drank it all in one gulp.
"Actually, I wanted to investigate them before, but I didn't do it for various reasons. I didn't expect that this group of people actually got into trouble with you...
Lester nodded.
…
"In the midst of all the destruction, he sees me."
Seeing Lester gnashing his teeth, Jax also became a little anxious.
Lester didn't add any wine, but drank half the glass, and the smile returned to his face.
The irritated Alec stood up and took a few steps, but suddenly he remembered the mysterious woman who came to his door. Every time Yuqin was not around, that beautiful woman would have a tryst with him and ask him some secrets about the sect.
, half drunk, half awake, half reluctant, he didn’t even know what he said before leaving.
"He's not a beautiful woman. How can an old man with dirt buried up to his neck want to get involved with me? I'm not a manly woman."
You must be more familiar with this land than me, and you are strong enough not to stumble. If you need funds, personnel or equipment, I can provide support. I just need you to take the lead. As long as I find out their secrets, I will send people to uproot them.
rise."
Jax took a breath, his throat feeling a little dry.
"Ascension to the throne? Do you want to be the emperor?"
"Actually, I came here this time to tell you about the Wind Control Swordsmanship Dojo."
"...What...means? You brought destruction?"
Jax scratched the back of his head.
"By the way, you shouldn't just be talking to me about the empire this time, right?"
"Hasagei? What is Hasagei?"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Who did it?"
When Lester carried the future of the entire world on his back, he also bore the infamy of a tyrant. The Ionians did not say anything, but in their hearts they cursed the new ruler, wishing Lester would die suddenly on the spot.
.
The playful Twilight Stars don't care, the Guardian Stars don't seem to be in this starry sky, and only one curious Star Spirit can take action.
As the most outstanding and powerful time mage in Icathia, Kieran can travel through different worlds and see different world lines. Jax knows this very well. He also knows that the threat in this world is not some barbaric Noxus.
The empire or the evil black mage,
Lester smiled. As expected, Jax didn't have any good impressions of this cult.
Jax's eyes lit up, not in the ordinary sense, but actually emitting a soft light blue light, which was in sharp contrast to Jax's purple skin that had been eroded by the void.
"Think about it, Cunfeng challenged you to a duel, you defeated him fair and square, he joined the empire naturally, and you also gained fame, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
Ionian warriors are all strong-willed, and Cunfeng is considered the top warrior. I think it will be more effective for the warriors to understand the personal strength of the empire's commander than to suppress them directly with the army."
Jax tapped his finger on the ceiling.
"..."
"Why not? They haven't reported to the empire by the deadline. When the time comes, one by one, I will capture them all and send them to the arena."
Lester nodded and stared at Jax's chin... mainly because there were too many eyes and he didn't know which one to look at.
"It means that after working so hard, I failed countless times in other world lines."
Make no mistake, this is tons of real damage.
Jax, however, looked wary, and even the raw meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"So what does this have to do with Kieran?"
"As expected, you, a womanizing guy, only have eyes for beauties. Don't forget that we are still warriors!"
Hearing this, Lester rolled his eyes directly.
Once Lester dies, these monsters and monsters will definitely jump out and turn Runeterra into hell.
The void, the starry sky, the underworld, and the evil gods and demons from other worlds are the most dangerous things. In Lester's words, the eternal flame he keeps is probably the key item to deal with the void.
In fact, ever since Youqin returned to the sect to raise his baby, he felt something was wrong with a happy face.
First, the intensity of the couple's intimacy was much weaker than before. Most of the time, Yu Qin took the initiative on her own, and then there was the issue of her daughter. You Qin came up with her own daughter's name. She had a firm idea and did not allow him to comment at all.
"It's not that it's a headache, it's just that you are the best suited to handle it. I wonder if you know the Nature Spirit Sect?"
It was okay not to think about these things, but the more Alec thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt like an idiot. He couldn't even take care of his wife, and let some man poach her. He had to put a smile on his face to raise his children.
"It's easy to say. I think the magic crystal lamp should be able to meet your needs. It has a large light source range, high intensity, and can be switched on and off at will. You can save a piece of Hex crystal and it will be enough for several months..."
At first, he didn't care too much, thinking that his wife might have her own ideas, but the sharp-eyed guys in the sect also noticed that Youqin's attitude towards him had changed, but he just didn't say anything because of pressure.
Could it be said that You Qin knew about this matter?
Alec's face turned pale.
"She found Mandy?"
In the room, Youqin opened his eyes, his guilty gaze disappeared, smiled bitterly, and closed his eyes again.
Alec didn't know that there was a secret charm affixed to his coat.
