Chapter 880 In the Audience
Arena of Glory.
Ji Xing was a little surprised when she 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.
Shouts of "traitor" and "kill her" were heard everywhere, and the malice was burning.
"Ah, it's this girl. I thought she was dead a long time ago." Anbesa beside him raised her head slightly and explained to Ji Xing: "She is a general discovered by the Empire during the war against Ionia. She was originally just a farmer, but because of her outstanding talents, she was appreciated by the Empire. Darkwill also rewarded her with an enchanted greatsword. She is the goal of those ordinary soldiers.
It looks like she was captured by Ionia, surrendered, and was just recaptured? She should be quite powerful. You sent Draven away, so 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, not knowing what "send away" meant. Some people were looking for an opening line to get to know Ji Xing, and Ji Xing responded casually, but he was more concerned about Riven. He didn't know the specific situation, but Riven didn't look like a deserter or prisoner.
Because Riven didn't bow her head.
In the center of the venue, facing the criticism of thousands of people, Riven kept her head up, calmly watching her former compatriots yelling at her.
There was no trace of guilt in her eyes, because she was the one who was abandoned.
As she said to Jinx and Vi in the cell, her team was treated as abandoned and all her friends and compatriots died except her.
After that, she saw the true nature of the war and the empire, and chose to exile herself.
She even asked the Ionian elder Suma to break her sword with the Wind Sword Technique to sever her ties with Noxus. In the year since then, she has been farming in the home of an Ionian farmer to pay off her debts, and was even adopted as a daughter.
If she didn't want to disturb her parents' peaceful life in Ionia, she wouldn't have been captured so easily by the Noxian pursuit team.
So even on this 'execution platform', she remained calm, but there was an unspeakable confusion in her heart - having abandoned the Noxian Empire where she was born, and being forced to leave Ionia, where else could she go?
If it were an ordinary person, they might be devastated by such a blow, or even choose to give up on themselves, but Riven would not. She quietly waited for more prisoners to be brought in, for the liquidators to appear, and moved her wrist vigorously.
If she is innocent, she will not be held accountable!
"Drink!"
When tonight's "execution" began, an almost one-sided battle began.
On the south platform, Youan, the organizer of the arena, watched the liquidators fall under Riven's iron fist one by one, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.
The assistant who came running over gave him the bad news: "General Draven is nowhere to be found! Should we... go ask that Sevier Mage?"
Youan waved him away impatiently.
Ask? If I could ask, I would have done it long ago!
General Draven never lets go of his two axes, which are still hanging on the wall. It is obvious that he had some conflict with Master Seville or Lord Anbesa. It was a fight between gods, so who could he, the owner of an arena, afford to offend?
What he didn't understand was that a conflict was a conflict, but how could people be killed in the fight? Would General Draven be able to make it to the reckoning tonight? !
No, we have to consider the worst case scenario.
He knew very well who these fifty thousand people were coming for tonight, and what the audience wanted to see was definitely not a traitor killing everyone.
It's fine to just treat it as a warm-up now, let Riven show enough strength, and General Draven will chop her down with an axe to get more cheers.
But...what if Draven is gone?
He paced anxiously for a few steps, and felt that the audience seats were gradually quieting down. He gritted his teeth and called his assistant back: "I remember that there are two reserve soldiers of Trifali in the prisoner area. Captain Simon of Trifali wants to make defeating the senior liquidator their assessment content, right?"
Ten minutes later, Wei and Jinx walked out of the arena's 'player tunnel' side by side.
"Wow! There are so many people here!" Jinx leaned back slightly, bent her waist, and raised her hands in front of her eyes as if looking out, exclaiming without any fear.
Wei moved his wrist more maturely and looked towards the center of the venue first.
When they were "released", they received a special mission. Only if they became the last two people standing in the arena could the charge of killing the nobles be completely cleared. Otherwise, they would have to remain in prison.
Defeat all opponents... huh?
The next moment, her eyes shook slightly because she saw the situation on the field clearly.
"Boom, we are in trouble."
“Hmm?” Jinx turned her gaze and met a powerful line of sight coming from a distance.
How could there be more opponents in such a huge venue? There were only the liquidators lying crookedly, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and the prisoners who were already dead with swords stuck in their chests!
There was only one person standing, breathing slightly and frowning as she watched them appear.
"Hey, it's her." Jinx said.
"Why are there two more little girls?"
"Where's General Draven?!"
"Kill that traitor quickly!"
The noise of the audience began to rise again. Jinx glanced at them unkindly and regretted not having a Gatling gun with her.
"Two against one is too embarrassing." She twisted her mouth and said, "Let me try first, Wei."
“…Ah, be careful, Baobao.” Vi gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, trying not to always protect Jinx behind her.
……
"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 his legs with some interest: "But if your strength doesn't grow, you won't be Riven's opponent in a two-on-one fight, even if Riven doesn't have a weapon. This is the double gap of strength and combat experience."
But they should have made a lot of progress, right?
Thinking of this, Ji Xing, who was waiting to watch the game, suddenly sensed something and turned his head to the right.
A Noxian colonel sitting over there immediately perked up, thinking that his topic had aroused Ji Xing's interest, and continued: "According to the order of appearance in the trailer, the sisters named Aole should appear very late. General Draven...had an accident, and Youan must have had no choice but to bring them to the front.
From this point of view, the sisters should have good strength and will not be one-sided. We can look forward to it, Mage Seville."
"Why are you here?" Ji Xing's question responded to him.
The colonel was startled, turned his head, and in an instant his body seemed to be struck by electricity, and he stood up to attention. The other generals who had seen the arrival earlier also stood at attention: "Senator No-Face!"
The person was wrapped from head to toe in layered, wide robes, and wore a smooth black mask with an expressionless, cold gaze. Even the small holes for her eyes were covered with black mesh, completely obscuring her features. Only the shadows of female features could be vaguely seen on the mask, but there was no way of knowing whether it was an illusion.
No one knew her identity, but the Noxian generals and high-ranking officials dared not ignore her.
In the three-member council of Trifarix, there is the commander-in-chief Swain, who symbolizes foresight, the general Darius, who symbolizes military power, and the third is the 'Faceless Man', who symbolizes cunning.
She possesses power equal to that of Swain and Darius, but has never used it. Even her name is unknown to anyone, and she has never appeared in public.
Why is she here in the arena?
The tone of Master Seville's voice just now... seemed very familiar? Master Seville knew her?
Even Anbesa looked solemn. She looked at the faceless man and then at Ji Xing, looking surprised and suspicious.
"Sevier, do you have the World Rune on you?" The Faceless Man, or Leblanc, asked as he sat in the seat vacated by the Colonel.
"World Rune?" Ji Xing was stunned.
"Rune Mage Ryze is here, and he's with Swain now." LeBlanc said, "You should know the name Ryze, right? He's a very important character in the records of the Magic Library."
Ryze? Ji Xing certainly knew about it. This was one of the few heroes he knew well outside of the League of Legends storyline. He was the wandering bald savior.
He was stunned for a few seconds, and said with a smile: "I do want the World Rune, but I don't have it yet. But I roughly know what's going on. It doesn't matter, let's wait for him to come."
"That's the best." Leblanc said, "Don't try to get the World Rune, Sewell."
In her plan, Ji Xing was a person who was difficult to replace, but she didn't expect that Ji Xing had caused quite a stir just half a month after arriving in Noxus. Now even a tricky guy like Rune Mage Ryze has come to the Immortal Bastion.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings and ruining her plans, she had to show up.
After confirming that Ji Xing did not have any world runes on her body, she calmly turned her gaze to the arena, while the other generals and nobles could only stand there, exchanging nervous glances, not knowing whether they should sit down.
……
In the center of the venue, Jinx has stood in front of Riven, while Vi is supporting her.
The two girls of similar height looked at each other. Jinx seemed a little thin, but she gave the illusion that she was better at fighting than Riven.
"It seems that I have become the content of your assessment?" Riven shook her head gently: "I don't know if you have listened to my advice, but I will not let you pass today."
"If you want to preach, you have to defeat us first!" Jinx stepped forward.
The thin arm burst out with powerful force and stabbed towards Riven's face like a gun!
Riven dodged sideways, her short silver hair fluttering in the wind of her fist. She raised her right knee and slammed fiercely into Jinx's lower abdomen. Jinx pressed down with her other hand and bent her body to defend herself.
bang——
A dull collision sound echoed, and Jinx's eyes changed slightly. The force transmitted from that knee was stronger than expected, and even made her chest feel a little stuffy, and her center of gravity slightly unstable.
She could only twist her toes and kick towards Riven's chin with her long braid swinging, but was knocked down by a powerful punch and then kicked in the waist!
"Well--"
With a muffled groan, Jinx spun and flew, rolling awkwardly for a few times before half-kneeling and standing up. She looked at Riven and raised her hand to stop Vi who was anxious to help.
"I'll try again." She spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and grinned, "This guy is very powerful, but he is still far inferior to that bastard Sewell!"
……
In the audience, Leblanc tilted her head slightly to look at Ji Xing, and then they both turned their gazes to the empty space in front of them. In the arc of light that leaped in the space, two figures appeared at the same time.
Ryze and Swain!
The generals and nobles who were originally standing behind her were shocked and took a deep breath. Even Anbesa stood up with a serious expression.
What’s going on? Even Swain is here?
"Captain Swain!"
As he greeted her, Swain first looked at LeBlanc with a little surprise, knowing that she was here and that he might have misunderstood something.
Then he looked at Ji Xing, whom he had always heard of but saw for the first time.
Ji Xing also stood up and held out his hand to him: "Nice to meet you, Commander Swain."
The etiquette of shaking hands is not popular in Noxus, but Swain still stretched out his intact hand to shake hands with Ji Xing: "Mr. Sewell."
He didn't call him 'Mage', as if to indicate that Ji Xing's other identities were more meaningful here than Mage. Then he turned sideways and introduced: "This is Mage Ryze."
Having been walking in remote areas for a long time, Ryze rarely appears in public, but world runes are more important than anything else.
He had already looked at Seville, who Swain said 'might' have the World Rune.
No? Not him... No, wait?
A strong shock resounded in his heart. Ryze hadn't experienced such intense emotional fluctuations in many years. What was this? !
World Talisman...People?
The glow of magic surged around him, and most people around him felt dangerous and oppressive.
This lasted for a few seconds, and Ryze eliminated the fluctuations of magic. He had seen some things clearly.
"You have come into contact with world runes and accepted their transformation... or you are actively learning the power of runes."
LeBlanc tilted her head and asked, "Is that so?"
How come I didn’t notice?
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 haven't touched it. The magic in my body is automatically arranged like this. They are making myself more perfect. As the world rune of creation, it should be the most perfect and fundamental form of magic."
Ryze was startled, as if he remembered something. He said solemnly, "Is that really the case? Then you may have taken the wrong path. Magic does not belong to us. We are just the channel through which it flows. It is not something we can control in our hands and drive at will. It is like air, flowing through our bodies, being used by us, and then returning to the Creator in another form.
I have never seen a genius like you, and I never thought that someone could 'tame' magic to this extent, but I'm afraid this is already very dangerous. It's like a ignited bomb that can shatter you to pieces at any time, and even this overly powerful force can turn the place where you are into ashes!"
What? Swain suddenly became serious.
Ji Xing replied: "Master Ryze, is it possible that I am not taking the wrong path, but 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? '
That was indeed the case. But this time he did not think he was wrong. Humans could not control the dangerous power of runes!
He shook his head and said, "No, this is not a new road, but a dead end."
"There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road." Ji Xing said with a smile.
Ryze: “?”
This sentence sounds very philosophical...but is this the key point? There is a solid wall in front of you, and no matter how many people hit it, they can't break it!
The atmosphere became a little subtle, and Swain and LeBlanc looked at each other, feeling the situation was quite awkward.
At this moment, a strong figure walked over like a dragon and a tiger. The bewildered noble generals looked at him and immediately stood straighter: "General Darius!"
What's wrong? What happened?
First it was the Faceless Man, then the Commander-in-Chief, and now even the Hand of Noxus is here? !
Darius only came to see Ji Xing because of Draven's matter. When he walked into the VIP audience seats, he stood there and remained silent.
He couldn't understand the situation, but was shocked. Why were they all here, but...
No one called me to the meeting?!
Recommend a book: "Who plays Go after being reborn?"
We are all born again in the 1980s, who would play Go?
You said that the prize money for the competition is the amount of 2024?
It is our responsibility to save the destiny of Chinese chess!
