Ji Xing was a little surprised when he saw Riven being escorted to the center of the venue, but the audience who came to her were excited and ignored the explosion in the venue passage just now.
The cries of ‘traitor’ and ‘kill her’ were heard endlessly, and malice burned brightly.
"Ah, it's this girl. I thought she was dead a long time ago." Anbeisa beside her raised her head slightly and explained to Ji Xing: "She is a general discovered by the empire during the war against Ionia.
, was originally just a farmer, but because of her outstanding talents, she was appreciated by the empire. Darkwill also rewarded her with an enchanted sword, which made her the coveted target of ordinary soldiers.
From the looks of it, she was captured by Ionia, surrendered, and was just captured? She should have some strength, since Draven was sent away by you, it would be difficult for an ordinary liquidator to defeat her."
The generals and nobles who heard her words looked at Ji Xing one after another. They didn't know what "send away" meant. Someone was looking for an opening line to get acquainted with Ji Xing. Ji Xing responded casually, but he was more concerned about Riwen. He didn't
I know the specific situation, but Riven doesn't look like a deserter and prisoner.
Because Riven didn't bow her head.
In the center of the venue, facing the criticism of thousands of people, Riven always raised her head, her eyes calmly watching the original compatriots yelling at her.
There was no guilt in her eyes, because she was the one who was abandoned.
As Vi said with Jinx in the cell, her team was treated as outcasts, and all her friends and compatriots were dead except for her.
After that, she saw clearly the true nature of war and the empire, and chose self-exile.
She even asked Elder Soma of Ionia to break her sword with the wind sword skill, thereby severing ties with Noxus. For the past year, she has been working at the house of a pair of farmers in Ionia to pay off her debts, and even
She was adopted as an adopted daughter.
If she didn't want to disturb the peaceful life of Ionia's parents, she wouldn't have been captured so easily by the Noxian pursuit team.
So even on this 'execution platform', she was still calm, but there was an indescribable confusion in her heart - she gave up the Noxus Empire where she was born, and was forced to leave Ionia, and
Where can I belong?
An ordinary person might collapse under such a blow and even choose to give up on herself, but Riven would not. She quietly waited for more prisoners to be escorted to the scene, and for the liquidators to appear, and she flexed her wrist vigorously.
If she is not guilty, she will not accept the liquidation!
"Drink!"
When tonight's 'execution' began, an almost one-sided battle began.
On the high platform on the south side, the head of the arena organizer You An watched the liquidators fall under Riven's iron fist one by one, with beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead.
The assistant who hurried over gave him even more unfortunate news: "General Draven can't be found anywhere! Should we... ask the Mage Sevier?"
Euan waved him away impatiently.
Ask? If you could ask, I would have asked!
General Draven's two axes never leave his hands, but they are still hanging on the wall. Apparently, he had some conflict with Master Sevier or Lord Anbeisa. Gods fight, and he can offend someone who runs an arena.
Who can afford it?
What he doesn't understand is that conflicts are conflicts, so how can people be defeated? Can General Draven make it in time for tonight's reckoning?!
No, you have to look at the worst-case scenario.
He knew very well who the more than 50,000 people were here for tonight, and what the audience wanted to see was definitely not a traitor killing everyone.
Now, if the warm-up is good and Riven shows enough strength, General Draven will chop her down with an axe to get more applause.
But...what if Draven is gone?
He walked anxiously for a few steps and felt that the auditorium was getting quieter. He gritted his teeth and called his assistant back: "I remember that there are two reserve troops of Cui Farley in the prison area. Captain Simon of Cui Farli is going to defeat the senior liquidator.
Take it as part of their assessment, right?"
Ten minutes later, Vi and Jinx walked out of the ‘player tunnel’ of the arena side by side.
"Wow! There are so many people!" Jinx leaned back slightly, bent her waist, and gestured with her hands in front of her eyes, exclaiming without fear.
Wei moved her wrist more maturely and looked towards the center of the field first.
When they were 'released', they received a special mission. Only by becoming the last two people standing in the arena could their crime of killing the nobles be completely eliminated, otherwise they would still have to be imprisoned.
Defeat all opponents...huh?
The next moment, her eyes were slightly shaken because she saw clearly the situation on the field.
"Bang bang, we are in trouble."
"Huh?" Jinx returned her gaze and met a powerful gaze from a distance.
How could there be more opponents in such a huge field? There were only liquidators lying crookedly and not knowing whether to live or die, and dead prisoners with swords stuck in their chests!
There was only one standing, panting slightly, frowning as he looked at them on the stage.
"Hey, it's her." Jinx said.
"Why are two more little girls appearing?"
"Where's General Draven?!"
"Kill that traitor quickly!"
The noise from the audience started to grow again, and Jinx glanced at them unkindly, only regretting that she didn't have Gatling on her hand.
"Two against one is too embarrassing." She said crookedly: "Let me try it first, Wei."
"...Ah, be careful, Bao Bao." Wei was trying hard not to protect Jinx behind her in everything, gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
…
"Although we haven't seen each other for less than half a year, I feel that both sisters have matured a lot."
Ji Xing smiled slightly and finally crossed Erlang's legs with some interest: "But if the strength has not grown, two on one will not be Riven's opponent. Even if Riven has no weapons, this is the double gap in strength and combat experience."
."
But they should make a lot of progress, right?
Thinking like this, Ji Xing, who was waiting to watch the battle, suddenly felt something and turned his head to the right.
A Noxian colonel sitting over there suddenly became energetic, thinking that his topic had aroused Ji Xing's interest, and continued: "According to the order of appearance in the trailer, the sisters named Ole should be around very soon.
Appearing later. General Draven... there was an accident. Euan must have been helpless, so he brought them to the front.
From this point of view, these sisters should have good strength and will no longer be one-sided. We can look forward to it, Master Sewell."
"Why are you here?" He was answered by Ji Xing's question.
The colonel was startled and turned his head. For a moment, his body felt as if he had been struck by electricity. He stood up at attention. The other generals who had seen the intruder earlier had also stood at attention: "Nu, the faceless councilor!"
The visitor was wrapped in a large, layered robe from head to toe, and wore a smooth black mask with expressionless eyes and cold eyes. Even the small holes exposing the eyes were covered with black silk mesh, completely obscuring her appearance.
, one could only vaguely see the shadow of female characteristics on the mask, but it was impossible to know whether it was an illusion.
No one knew her identity, but Noxus' top generals did not dare to ignore her.
In Trifari's three-person council, there is the great commander Swain, who symbolizes the foresight, the general Darius, who symbolizes the force, and the third one is the 'faceless man' who symbolizes the cunning.
She has the same power as Swain and Darius, but she has never seen it used. Even her name is not known to anyone, and she has never appeared in public.
She, why did she appear in the arena?
Master Sewell's tone just now... seemed familiar? Master Sewell knew her?
Even Anbeisa looked solemn, looking at the faceless man and then at Ji Xing, surprised and suspicious.
"Sevier, do you have world runes on your body?" the faceless man, or LeBlanc, asked as he sat on the seat vacated by the colonel.
"World runes?" Ji Xing was startled.
"The rune mage Ryze is here and is at Swain's place now." LeBlanc said: "You should know the name Ryze, right? He is indispensable in the records of the Magic Library."
Of course Ryze Ji Xing knows this. This is also one of the few heroes he knows very well outside of the League's Twin Cities plot, the wandering bald savior.
He was stunned for a few seconds and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "I really want the world runes, but I don't have them yet. But I probably know what's going on. It doesn't matter. Let's wait for him to come."
"That's the best." LeBlanc said: "Don't think about the world runes, Sevier."
In her plan, it was difficult to find a replacement for Ji Xing, but she didn't expect that Ji Xing would cause quite a stir just half a month after arriving in Noxus. Now even troublesome guys like Rune Mage Ryze
They all came to the Immortal Fortress.
To prevent unnecessary misunderstandings and ruining her plan, she had to show up.
After confirming that there were no world runes on Ji Xing's body, she calmly turned her gaze to the arena, while the other generals and nobles could only stand there, exchanging nervous glances, wondering whether they should sit down.
…
In the center of the field, Jinx was already standing in front of Riven, while Vi was supporting her.
Two girls of similar height looked at each other. Jinx looked a little thinner, but she had the illusion that she was better at fighting than Riven.
"It seems that I have become your assessment content?" Riwen shook her head slightly: "I don't know if you have listened to my persuasion, but I will not let you pass today."
"If you're going to preach, defeat us first!" Jinx stepped forward.
The thin arm burst out with strong force, piercing Riven's face like a gun!
Riven dodged sideways, her silver-white short hair jumping in the wind of the fist. She lifted her right knee and slammed into Jinx's lower abdomen. Jinx pressed down with her other hand and bowed to defend herself.
Bang——
The dull collision echoed, and Jinx's eyes changed slightly. The force coming from that knee was stronger than expected, and even made her chest feel a little tight, and her center of gravity was slightly unstable.
She could only twist her toes back, and while the long braid was swinging, she lifted up her kick and kicked it towards Riwen's chin. However, she was punched down with a powerful punch, and then kicked in the waist!
"Well——"
Groaning, Jinx spun around and rolled around a few times before getting up on her knees, looking at Riven, and raising her hand to stop Vi, who was anxious to help.
"I'll try again." She spat out a mouthful of blood-foaming saliva to the side and grinned, "This guy is very powerful, but he's still far behind that bastard Sevier!"
…
In the audience, LeBlanc tilted her head slightly and glanced at Ji Xing, and then both of them turned their gazes to the open space in front of them. In the arc of space, two figures appeared at the same time.
Ryze and Swain!
The generals and nobles who were standing behind him looked shocked and took a deep breath. Even Ambesa stood up with a solemn expression.
What's going on? Even Swain is here?
"Commander Swain!"
During the greeting, Swain first looked at LeBlanc with slight surprise. Knowing that the other party appeared here, he might have misunderstood something.
Then he looked at Ji Xing, who had always heard his name but was seeing him for the first time.
Ji Xing also stood up and extended his hand to him: "First time meeting, Commander Swain."
The etiquette of shaking hands is not popular in Noxus, but Swain still stretched out his good hand to shake hands with Ji Xing: "Mr. Sevier."
He did not call him "Mage", which seemed to indicate that Ji Xing's other identities were more meaningful here than being a mage. Then he introduced sideways: "This is Master Ryze."
After walking in a deserted place for a long time, Ryze rarely appeared in public, but the world runes were more important than anything else.
He had already looked at Sevier, whom Swain said 'might' have the world runes.
No? It's not him... No, wait?
Strong vibrations reverberated in his heart. Ryze hadn't had such intense mood swings in many years. What was this?!
World talisman...person?
The glow of magic surged around him, and most people around him felt dangerous and depressed.
After a few seconds, Ryze wiped away the fluctuations of magic, and he could see something clearly.
"You have been exposed to the runes of the world and accepted the transformation of the runes...or you are actively learning the power of the runes."
LeBlanc tilted her head, right?
Why didn't I find it?
Swain quietly communicated with the secret demon in his body, but the secret demon did not respond.
Ji Xing shook his head and smiled: "I have never been exposed to it. The magic in my body is automatically arranged like this. They are making themselves more perfect. As the world's runes of creation, they should be the most perfect and root form of magic."
Ryze was startled, not knowing what he thought of, and said with some seriousness: "Is this really so? Then I'm afraid you are on the wrong path. Magic does not belong to us, we are just the channels through which it flows. It is not some kind of us
Something that can be held in the palm of the hand and driven at will is like air, flowing through our bodies, used by us, and then transformed into another form and returned to creation.
I have never seen a genius like you, and I never thought that someone could 'tame' magic to such an extent, but I'm afraid it's already very dangerous. It's like a ignited bomb that will shatter you to pieces at any time, even this
Too much power can destroy the place you are in!"
What? Swain suddenly became serious.
Ji Xing replied: "Master Ruiz, is it possible that I didn't go the wrong way, but was opening up a new path?"
Ryze was silent.
Many years ago, a child asked a similar question, 'Teacher, is it possible that I am a talented apprentice and you are not a qualified teacher?'
This is indeed the case. But this time he does not think that he is wrong. Human beings cannot control the dangerous power of runes!
He shook his head and said: "No, this is not a new road, but a dead end."
"There is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." Ji Xing said with a smile.
Ryze: "?"
This sentence sounds very philosophical... but is the key point here? There is an iron wall in front of you. No matter how many people you bump into, you can't break through it!
The atmosphere became a little delicate. Swain and LeBlanc looked at each other, feeling rather troubled.
At this moment, a strong figure walked over like a dragon and a tiger. The bewildered noble generals looked at it and immediately stood up straighter: "General Darius!"
What happened? What happened?
First it was the Faceless Men, then it was the Grand Commander, and now even the Hand of Noxus is here?!
Darius only came to see Ji Xing because of Draven's affairs. He walked into the VIP auditorium and stood there, silent.
He couldn't understand the situation before him, but he was shocked. Why were they all here, but...
