In order to prevent Fiona's reputation from being damaged, Sebastian ordered that the news that she "had an unsuccessful duel with a guy who didn't know where he came from and had a very happy conversation" was blocked.
Fiona didn't pay too much attention to this - because after talking to the man who called himself Jax, but kept secret about his past, she had already got many answers she wanted.
Regardless of Jax's provocation before the battle, his taunts during the battle were quite heartbreaking, but in the conversation after the battle, he had no reservations about his fighting skills and experience.
This is undoubtedly very valuable knowledge for Fiona, who has already mastered the technique of sword dance waltz and is eager to go further.
"It's useless to duel with a rookie." Jax saw Fiona's "training method" almost at a glance, and criticized without hesitation, "Even if you can't find a master, you still have to face people with different styles.
, different types of opponents, which will benefit your skills."
"But Demacia only has this kind of opponent."
"Then leave Demacia." Jax responded without hesitation, "If you want to go further, you can't be involved in the world."
"I am a Demacian." Although she was not interested in the political games of the nobles, Fiona still expressed her attitude without hesitation, "I will not give up my motherland."
"Then find another way to help your motherland and don't get involved with stupid politicians." Jax said as if he had experienced it before. "You have your own eyes, your own ears, and your own judgment. What should you know?"
That’s right, what it means to truly love your motherland.”
"Are you a Noxian?" Jax's statement was a bit suspicious, so much so that Fiona put her hand on the hilt of her sword and narrowed her eyes slightly, "What are you implying?"
"I am not a Noxian." Jax seemed not to care about Fiona's defensive posture. "I am an Icathian, a person who has lost his homeland. These words are just feelings.
It’s just a matter of fact. A true swordsman must learn to stay focused, and he must also learn to withdraw from frivolous things like politics.”
"..."
Jax's words made Fiona fall into silence. She really couldn't understand why the man in front of her, whose martial arts skills were at the pinnacle in her eyes, would say such wonderful words.
"Go and practice more, little girl." Facing the silent Fiona, Jax laughed and said, "Your swordsmanship is good, but it contains too many bells and whistles that shouldn't be there, attacking from above.
, attacking the enemy's weakness is indeed a good idea, but keeping it in mid-air the whole time is too formalistic."
"This is the elegance of Laurent's swordsmanship..."
"Only living people are qualified to speak of elegance. Don't substitute the position of aristocrats into pure swordsmanship."
"You are denying the artistry of swordsmanship."
"Excellent skills and constant victory are the only art."
"Then why is there a wonderful harmony in every move you make?"
"The most natural moves always look harmonious."
"Then how do you have natural moves?"
"Practice more, gain more knowledge, and don't limit your vision to one place."
"..."
"..."
As if Fiona had passed some kind of test, Jax answered almost every question without hiding anything.
The content of the questions and answers between both parties were very basic questions, and what Fiona needed were the answers to these basic questions.
Just like what Jax said, strip away all identity factors and turn to the purest issue of martial arts.
Through the conversation with Jax, Fiona was able to look inside her heart again. She was surprised to find that after gradually integrating into the Demacia aristocratic society, many aspects of herself had indeed been assimilated silently.
Although Jax's description is a bit too harsh in some aspects, Fiona is sometimes just like what he said, and her swordsmanship is mixed with a lot of bells and whistles that shouldn't be there...
At the end of the day, Fiona had to really consider Jax's suggestion, whether she should leave the capital, stay away from politics, stay away from the nobility, and broaden her horizons.
However, because of her love for Demacia, Fiona didn't find a good place for a while.
Seeing Fiona take in what she said, Jax finally stood up and left.
According to what he said, there is no one here worth fighting against.
Fiona was obviously stunned when she heard this sentence, and then mentioned Xin Zhao's name with some confusion.
In her opinion, the steward's spear skills are practical and powerful, and he is obviously a good opponent.
But what surprised her was that after hearing Xin Zhao's name, Jax was silent for a short time.
Later, Jax said in a relaxed tone that "people who regard guardianship as their only meaning often fall into short-sighted blindness" and rejected the proposal without hesitation.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Fiona always felt that Jax's attitude was a bit strange when talking about Xin Zhao.
In short, after this conversation, Jax left Xiongdu without hesitation.
After thinking about it for a period of time, Fiona decided to join the army on the frontline battlefields in the North or Green Teeth Peak. According to what Jax said, she would experience more techniques and styles and observe the world with her own eyes.
.
Then, before she could find a chance to communicate with her father, Lux came back.
Lux's return caused quite a stir in Xiongdu, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Fiona finally found a way to leave. She found her father, and after a long conversation all night, she officially joined Lux.
's camp.
For the Laurent family, Fiona's behavior represents the family's loyal stance of repaying kindness, which is very beneficial to Sebastian's subsequent marriage; and for Fiona, she can finally
Get out of the cage, go to the north, and see a whole new world.

Unlike Sona and Ino, who had a lot of power from the beginning, Fiona declined Lux's promotion and insisted on starting as a private. Therefore, on the way from the capital of Demacia to Forsbarrow, she and
Ordinary soldiers travel together during the day and attend classes at night.
Although Fiona has only been interested in swordsmanship since she was a child, Sebastian has always personally taught aristocratic etiquette and German history, so she thinks she is quite familiar with these.
As a result, when Lux began to talk, Fiona was surprised to find that the content she told seemed to be somewhat different from the history she knew.
No, it can't be said to be a gap, it should be said to be a different angle.
The history learned with Sebastian is almost from the perspective of the nobility. It tells the story of the ancestor of the Laurent family, a knight who was not named Laurent at that time and followed Lord Oren to leave the Noxian Empire.
experience.
Therefore, regarding the experience of the establishment of Germany, most of the time Sebastian told how Sohu Knight did.
But for Lux, it seems that from the beginning, there was no difference between the ancestors of these nobles and the refugees who followed them to escape the war. All of them were not elegant at all, they were just a group of people trying to survive in the context of war.
.
This kind of narrative is undoubtedly very new to the soldiers who are used to the bards' exaggerated poems - although Demacia has the habit of recording history, even the history that does not want to be known must be recorded.
It was then sealed up, but there has never been such a history recorded from a civilian perspective.
In Lux's story, each historical figure has never been a flat paper figure. They all have their own emotions and ideas, even if they are regarded as "brilliant and great" in Demacia.
"Your Majesty Oren was not born noble.
Everyone will be confused, everyone will be confused, everyone will be helpless, but even so, they still choose to believe in each other and support each other. Starting from Noxie, they will continue to accept people who are willing to join, and finally under the protection of the rune tree, they will establish
Nowadays, Demacia has emerged.
With vivid narration, well-designed literacy lessons, homework that requires careful attention but does not delay the march, and an extremely exquisite soundtrack, Lux successfully completed the literacy mission of this private army and made their energy evident.
Changes have occurred.
Fiona is actually not unfamiliar with the mental outlook of Demacia soldiers. For most soldiers, joining the army means having a clear path to advancement, and it means gaining status and glory.
The soldiers who followed Lacus all the way north, besides having the same desire for honor and status, were also full of trust and expectations for Lacus. Under normal circumstances, this kind of trust and expectations are often given by some military veterans.
, only generals with extraordinary achievements can possess it.
All this gave Fiona, who according to Jax, was observing the world with her own eyes, many different experiences.
After arriving at Forsbarrow, Lux's performance was undoubtedly even more amazing.
Fiona watched in amazement as she led the demon-stained ones - oh, now they are called mages - to break ground in winter and change the world; she watched her combine magic with many aspects to launch plant cultivation experiments in the north; I heard that
Knowing that the Freljord trade is about to begin, blue ocher powder is directly produced in Vero Village...
In a daze, Fiona actually had the idea that "this is very similar to what she told about the early founding of Germany."
In terms of knowledge, Fiona gained a lot.
However, in terms of martial arts, Fiona did not gain much - in the military camp, the soldiers' style was still the typical "Demacia style", which did not inspire her at all.
Especially after the envoy to the Freljord returned and the story of challenging the ice trolls and ice sea worms began to spread among the mages, Fiona felt a pity.
At this time, Lux began the work of recruiting the Forsbarrow Orions.
Faced with this opportunity, Fiona, who had been promoted to squad leader due to her excellent training performance, did not hesitate to recommend herself, hoping to participate in this recruitment - and then, Lux, who was short of manpower, did not hesitate to give her the job.
He was promoted to military rank once and then handed over the entire matter to her.
……………………
Since the private manor and training ground belonging to Count Laxana have not yet been built (it won't be built for a while, and Lax has no interest in this), the selection of soldiers this time is the same as in the past.
Conducted on the school grounds.
With the help of a recruiting lieutenant borrowed from the Third Army, Fiona successfully completed this recruiting activity.
The process of recruiting soldiers was actually lackluster. The only thing that aroused Fiona's interest was the display of personal martial arts. Through the personal demonstrations of the extremely confident Orions, Fiona saw for the first time what the northern style was.
grace?
No such thing.
Art?
Doesn't exist.
standard?
I have the final say.
Since they are all Orions, most of the candidates will use bows, arrows and forks as their weapons.
These people's archery skills are generally good, but their archery postures and techniques can only be described as varied.
At first glance, the skills of these people using forks can only be described as rough, but after seeing more, Fiona wonderfully discovered that these moves may be designed to target large and powerful enemies. In some aspects,
, it can really give Fiona some inspiration!
After the recruitment activity was successfully concluded and the trade in the North was officially released, Fiona took the initiative to find Lux and submitted a mission application "I hope to go to Freljord to see it".
Lux naturally welcomes Fiona's request - although Ino will personally lead the first and second Freljord trade, it is impossible for every northern trade in the future to be led by
Ino took care of it himself.
In this case, if Fiona is willing to participate, that would be great!
"If you are willing to participate, that would be great, Captain Fiona." Lux was obviously relieved, "This time Enoch will lead the trade team, take this, go to Enoch, she will give
You arrange specific tasks."
In this way, Fiona got a note with Lux's personal seal, found Ino, and successfully became the deputy captain of the guard for Forsbarrow's first Freljord trade this summer.
Then, just as Fiona was preparing her personal belongings for departure to Freljord in accordance with Ino's request, an unexpected visitor found Fiona.
"Jax?"
Seeing Jax still wrapped up tightly, Fiona was quite surprised to leave the camp after receiving news from the Security Office that she had a visitor to meet.
"How did you get here?"
"Traveled so far, traveled so far." Jax waved his hand, as if he didn't intend to say more on this issue, "Fiona, you are the captain here, right?"
"Yes." Fiona nodded, "You want to join the army?"
"No, no, no, no." Jax kept shaking his head and said, "I want to meet Lord Laxana, can you help introduce him?"
