In the Longyin Hall, candlelight illuminated the hall, and the door was closed. Lester sat cross-legged on a large dragon blood wood chair, holding the formation crystal in his left hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was controlling the formation crystal.
Riven and Akali stood on either side, staring in the direction of the palace door without blinking, guarding the man on the big chair.
The white-haired girl held the broad-blade heavy sword Rune Blade with an indifferent expression. The black-haired girl held the iron-locked sickle blade with a kunai between her fingers. Her breathing was a little quick because she seemed to have heard footsteps walking around outside the palace door just now. When she waited
Just when she was about to listen with all her concentration, she disappeared suddenly, as if what she felt was just an illusion.
This feeling of knowing that there is something lingering around but unable to find the enemy makes Akali very upset.
"Relax a little. Our mission is to protect the boss. In this case, we just need to stay by the boss's side."
Noticing that Akali was a little anxious, Riven lowered her voice.
"Don't fall for the enemy's trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. The enemy chooses to play tricks instead of attacking head-on. This proves that the enemy is at the end of his rope. Don't mess up your position."
"Okay, okay."
After swallowing dryly, Akali turned to look at Riven.
The girl in front of her has white hair like snow. Under the slanting sea, a pair of clear and sharp red eyes glow coldly in the night. Her facial features are delicate and handsome, and there is an indescribable sense of solemnity between her eyebrows.
According to the observation rules of makeup, such neutral facial features can be transformed into genders at will with just a little dressing up. Males are handsome and females are pretty. It can be said that it is a type for both men and women. However, the overly strong momentum of girls slightly destroys their own beauty.
Make it easier for others to focus on the power it exudes.
The white-haired girl looks young, but her strength is unfathomable. She has killed many people with the big sword in her hand. Maybe her strength is not inferior to the girl in front of her, but her experience and momentum in the battle formation are
It was something that was beyond her reach, so she was very sure that she would not be the opponent of the white-haired girl.
To be able to hire such a strong man as a bodyguard, it is obvious that his cheap cousin also has a not simple origin.
"that……"
Facing strong people other than her parents, Akali, who had little experience in making friends, seemed a little embarrassed.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Riven smiled slightly.
Leaving aside Lester's relationship, Riven herself is also fully interested in Akali, a powerful Ionian martial artist.
Riven's words gave Akali the confidence to continue the conversation, and Akali whispered.
"How old are you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Riven revealed what was considered a military secret in the Imperial Army.
"Fifteen."
Akali's eyes widened.
"So small? I thought you should be bigger."
"And you?"
"Ten...four years old, only one year younger than you."
Akali hooked her index finger and thumb and shook it.
In order to reduce the age gap, Akali decided to increase her age by one and a half years. Unfortunately, even with this age and a half increase, she is still a younger sister.
"Since you are one year younger than me, you are my sister. Don't worry, I will protect you."
Riven grinned and took the lead in deciding the fate. Her reliable temperament like a sunny and cheerful girl dispelled the gloom in Akali's heart.
"Sister Riwen, I can feel that you are not only powerful, but also have a lot of combat experience. What kind of training do you need to go through to be as powerful as sister?"
"Training alone can't make me like this...Sister Akali, someone is here."
Halfway through the words, the door of Longyin Palace was slowly pushed open from the outside. Riven and Akali's expressions froze, and they looked intently. They saw ten black-clothed killers wearing ghost masks walking slowly into the palace, slightly
He lowered his head and separated the two sides, followed closely by a man with his face covered.
The man was wearing a black hood, leaving only a pair of sinister eyes exposed. He glanced at the hall, his eyes were fixed on the three of them, and he smiled lewdly.
"It seems that you are the thorn in the side that the Holy Lord is most eager to get rid of. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't you two beautiful ladies introduce yourself? Maybe they are acquaintances. I can be merciful when we communicate in a while~"
Akali glared angrily, wanting to say something but worried that she had done something wrong. She couldn't help but look at Riven, only to see that Riven had stopped smiling at some point, and her pretty face was colder than an iceberg.
"The Sword Demon Majira, one of the three assassin leaders of the Navoli Brotherhood, is cruel, greedy and lustful by nature. He has countless innocent souls in his hands. I don't know how many girls died in humiliation at your hands."
Listening to Riven's words, Akali's already angry eyes couldn't help but turn colder. She was hesitant about killing someone at first, but now she has a clear answer.
She won't have any psychological burden by killing such a bad guy.
"It seems that the young lady knows me very well. Since the young lady already knows who I am, it is better to lay down your weapons and surrender to me. I happen to be short of two female slaves. If the two young ladies are willing to be slaves, I promise not to harm the young lady.
Of course, the little lady will have to give something else to serve your master well..."
Majora, who was obsessed with the beauty of Riven and Akali, did not notice that the man who had kept his eyes closed had opened his eyes, and the eyes looking at him seemed to be looking at a dead person.
.
"Sister Riwen, do you want me to kill him?"
Akali looked at Riven, but Riven was unusually calm and shook her head.
"We will stay here. If anyone comes within ten meters, we will take action."
Akali was a little confused as to why Riven would choose such a passive battle plan. A sudden change occurred in the palace.
"call out!"
An arc of light that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye passed through the hall. It took less than half a second from appearing out of thin air to suddenly disappearing. The ten shadow ghost-faced killers, including Majira, still stood there quietly, but the heads on their necks rolled off like rubber balls.
On the ground, blood stained the hall red in an instant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, the menacing Navoli assassin fell heavily to the ground, and the hall returned to silence.
The enemy who brought a sense of threat to him died so simply? Is Longyin Palace such a dangerous place?
Wait, if my cousin Lester can control such a powerful formation, wouldn't it be in vain for me? I originally wanted to accumulate some practical experience.
Akali stared blankly at the terrifying scene in the palace with her mouth wide open, and then looked back as if she had realized something. Sure enough, her cousin had opened his eyes at some point and looked at him calmly.
Staring at the dead intruder.
"If you think you can use this bunch of noisy garbage to get the information you want, go ahead and try it."
Lester looked coldly at the empty palace door and spoke in a cold voice.
"Although I'm very reluctant, I have to admit that I can't find anything useful on you with this rubbish."
A group of shadows appeared out of thin air, and a handsome, fair-skinned man walked out of the shadows. Staring at the sudden uninvited guest, Akali's hair stood on end, her survival instinct frantically sending out the message to escape.
"But having said that, these rubbish can only have this point of use. If they weren't of some use to me, I would have gotten rid of this bunch of rubbish long ago."
The man bowed politely, as if he were a courtier, and said respectfully to Lester on the chair.
"Dear His Majesty Leicester, is this the first time we have met? When I think that a little person like me will one day stand in front of His Majesty and feel your ruthless and domineering momentum, I am really... extremely scared. Sure enough,
, no matter how many times I imagine it, it still cannot replace the fear of being your enemy in person."
As he spoke, the man's body was trembling, and he didn't know whether it was because of fear or excitement.
Akali looked at Lester with wide eyes. Riven raised her index finger to her lips to signal Akali to be silent. Akali nodded, suppressing the fear in her heart.
"Shadow Lord Theodore, it seems that you have got what you want. I never thought that the Navoli Brotherhood would fight against the empire for the sake of national justice, but I didn't expect to stir up trouble in Ionia.
The mastermind behind the Brotherhood only wants time..."
Hearing this, Theodore interrupted Lester directly, his expression seemed a little excited and a little sad.
"Of course you can't think of it! Because what others have spent all their efforts to get has appeared in you from the beginning. The power of the world runes only chose Lester and not Theodore. Just like the king cannot understand wandering.
The sufferings of ordinary people are ordinary. How can you, who are so high above us, understand the fears of us short-lived mortals?
Watching the quicksand in the hourglass passing by bit by bit, watching the stars in the sky move day after day and night after night, I suddenly looked into the mirror. The child in the mirror was already pale, with white hair and acne.
When health and fitness turn into old age and frailty, time strips away all strength, takes away vitality and liveliness, brings staleness and loneliness, and makes all the efforts of being a human being go in vain.
Obviously I have been working hard all day, but I have been panicking for decades, but I have not been able to leave any traces in the world. It is obvious that this beautiful world is still going on, but I cannot witness with my own eyes the beauty that I have never had, whether it is joy or despair.
No matter what, the second hand on the clock is ticking, never stopping for a moment, never hesitating. We can only watch the reincarnation of time in despair, and can only wait desperately for death to approach step by step...
Your Majesty, can you understand this despair?"
Lester was silent, relying on the life rune controlled by Elena. Although he was immortal, it was not that he could not understand the mortal fear of death and aging. It would be better to say that in the long river of time, this sense of fear stripped away made him
More profound.
In his last life, he watched Elena and himself die in the explosion. In this life, he watched his beloved, his gray haired temples, die in his arms one by one. In his past life, he came to Ionia to look for Karma.
Why? Isn't it just to find a way to extend the lives of Keith, Tali and others and escape time in this world full of magic and miracles?
The deceased has gone away, but the living have to carry the burden left by the deceased and continue to move forward. If he were not always accompanied by his confidante who is willing to move forward, he might not have been crushed by the separation of life and death in these thousands of years.
, either to enter the world of demons and cause trouble, or to become a Buddha and live in seclusion. If you want to continue to be a human being, you must fully accept everything you are born as a human being.
He straightened up and read the regret in Lester's sad and solemn expression. Theodore took two steps back in disbelief, holding his head in his hands, looking a little crazy.
"Can you understand, can you understand? How can a person like you understand this fear??! Then you must understand me, you must understand that the conflict between us is just a conflict of forces, not an irresolvable personal hatred.
Right? In order to survive, in order to extend our own lives, there is nothing wrong with whatever we do, right?"
Lester stood up and sighed.
"Whether it's right or wrong, only we know how it feels. All we can do is make the judgment we think is right in the cage we have woven.
Since the Navori Brotherhood you founded has become an enemy to the Noxus Empire I founded, we cannot let go of our hundreds of years of grudges, not to mention... you chose to cooperate with Nocturne,
My head has become valuable. The respect you show for me cannot be faked, nor can the murderous intention you hide be faked.
Rather than performing a hypocritical self-performance here, it’s better to end it here.”
"It seems that you already know the location of the Shadow Temple."
The mad expression gradually became restrained, Theodore patted the hem of his clothes and said with a wry smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sure enough, there is no point in playing tricks with a strong man like you, we have to fight with real swords and guns... His Highness Leicester, here
Before this war begins, please allow me to play one last trick."
As he spoke, Theodore clapped his hands lightly, and a woman wearing a dark green female ninja uniform walked slowly from outside the temple door, with a high black ponytail hanging on her back shoulders, and her appearance was very similar to Akali.
Staring at the visitor, Lester's eyes changed. After many years, the man once again released his undisguised murderous intention to the outside world. Theodore vomited blood and took three steps back. He raised his hand to touch his chest and used a shadow.
The force suppressed the evil spirit that was running rampant in the body,
Riven and Akali were affected, their breaths suffocated, and the blood in their bodies flowed backwards. Fortunately, this murderous intention, which was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, came and went quickly. Coupled with Lester's control, the two women were not affected.
Cause internal injuries.
"Theodore, I admire you for choosing to use Xiyue's body to anger me. It seems that you are indeed ready to die. In this case, I should also give you the same amount of respect."
As soon as the words fell, the door of Longyin Palace suddenly closed tightly, and the entire hall was shrouded in a sealing barrier. The cracks created by the turbulent flow of space were enough to turn any space traveler who tried to leave the material realm into pieces of corpses.
With just one glance, Theodore knew that the Dragon Hidden Palace had become a forbidden area that could not be left. If he wanted to leave the Dragon Hidden Palace, he could only kill Lester and destroy the formation crystal.
Theodore, who was imprisoned, showed a gentle smile, as if he had already won.
"Unfortunately, as you said, I chose to cooperate with Lord Nocturne, and your opponent is no longer me."
