Chapter 879 Misunderstanding
Anbesa rode with Ji Xing in the carriage to the arena. While chatting with Ji Xing about the universal capsule business in Noxus, she observed Ji Xing openly.
As a powerful Noxian female warlord with a throne in her family, she had long forgotten how to hide her emotions. In fact, her curiosity about Ji Xing had already reached its peak.
A young man who is only a few years older than his youngest son stands at the focal point of the entire Rune Continent. Except for the relatively conservative and old Shurima and the ice field where few outsiders go, there is probably no city that has not heard of him.
Compared to the Hextech technology that is still under development, the universal capsule is already a fairly mature product. However, if it were just the universal capsule, it would not be a big deal. The wealth accumulated by the Philos family is like a castle in the air compared to the powerful Noxus, and it can collapse with just a touch.
But when Seville, who invented the universal capsule, was also a top-level wizard, the missing foundation was filled. Anbesa had seen the damage that a god-like wizard could cause.
One man can defeat an entire army. This is by no means an exaggeration.
Is this coincidence or luck?
Anbesa didn't believe it. It was more like someone who was confident in his plan and was taking one step at a time!
But from the outside... you can't tell.
Apart from the unusually gorgeous staff in his hand, the young man in front of him only had more aura and better temperament than his peers, and there was always a faint smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze.
Judging from the taut outline of his calves and some of his body movements, he looks more like a good fighter who should have explosive power.
"...Anyway, it's still not enough." Anbesa waved her arms: "Even if the monthly supply volume increases 50 times, Noxus can fully digest it. I heard that the third and fourth universal capsule factories are already under construction? When will they be completed? In fact... given the current situation, you can consider building a few factories in Noxus to avoid the time loss of sea transportation."
"It will probably be completed this month." Ji Xing replied: "As for the shipping issue... Lady Camille is communicating with Noxus to build a Hextech flying gate network. Didn't Senator Mel inform you of this news?"
Anbesa was startled, and a hint of darkness flashed across her rough face: "There's no need to hide it from you. That girl and I have an average relationship. I often have to look for sources of intelligence from other places."
"After all, they are mother and daughter. There is no misunderstanding that cannot be resolved." Ji Xing said.
“Haha…” Anbesa laughed heartily and shook her head, “There is no misunderstanding. To survive in this empire, some things must be given up. Mel couldn’t give them up, but she also started a career in Piltover, which is good. There is no need to force her to integrate.
But you, Sewell, I don't quite understand your 'goal'. Wealth, fame, power, strength... you already have everything. I don't understand why you came to Noxus."
"Because it's not enough." Ji Xing smiled: "For me, the current magic practice is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go."
Anbesa was startled, looked at Ji Xing's eyes seriously, and exclaimed: "So that's how it is. That's right, you are only 19 years old, and you still have a long time to become stronger... Your achievements make it easy for people to ignore your age."
The strong female warlord seemed to be reminiscing about her lost youth, but the feeling was only fleeting. She lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Even though you are a beginner, Seville, you are probably the dream of others. I wonder if I will have the chance to see your magic this time...
Oh, the Arena of Glory is coming soon."
……
As today's reckoning is about to begin, spectators have begun to enter the arena.
The four stands that could accommodate 50,000 people were almost full and the crowd was noisy. When Draven appeared on the execution platform, there was a warm cheer.
In the past, Draven would have enjoyed this honor very much, but today his face remained grim and he did not respond to the cheers from the audience.
He could not accept the failure of inviting Seville, especially the way of failure. He invited Seville, but Seville's refusal was sent to Darius. What does this mean?
It meant that Seville thought he was not worthy of having an equal dialogue with him, and it meant that Seville was asking Darius to "take care of his brother", which was like trampling his face into the dirt for him!
Later, he wanted to teach Seville a lesson, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had no way to deal with Seville. This moment made Draven wake up from his illusory fame and realize that he was still far behind Darius.
If it was Darius' invitation, no one in the Noxian Empire would dare to refuse.
I have to become stronger, I have to be more feared, I have to become more famous!
For this reason, he adjusted the order of today's main dishes. Riven, who was supposed to be the last one, was promoted to the first one. He wanted to vent his anger with a hearty battle and tell everyone the gap between himself and the ordinary liquidators!
Standing on the high platform, his majestic gaze swept across the field and the crowd in the stands below, like a king inspecting his territory. Suddenly, someone from the arena organizer walked up to him and whispered.
"what?!"
Draven's eyes changed, and he quickly disappeared from the clearing platform and headed towards the passage to the noble audience seats.
Some minor nobles, lieutenants and officers passing by greeted him, but Draven ignored them all. He held double axes in his hands and did not stop until he saw Ji Xing.
"...Ha, Master Seville." His shoe-horned face showed no kindness: "I remember that you said you were busy in response to my invitation?"
"Boy, you should know yourself, think about the consequences before doing anything, and keep some basic dignity for yourself."
Without Ji Xing's response, Anbesa stepped forward with her arms crossed and said in a cold voice: "I heard that you have become an actor recently? That's good. It's a good thing for the empire to know in time that you don't have the talent to lead troops in battle."
She had already asked Ji Xing why he wanted to come to the arena, and knew about the little "conflict" between Ji Xing and Draven, but she didn't take it seriously.
When she conquered the enemy country, Draven was not yet born. If it was Darius, she would have to give him some respect, but Draven? In front of him, he was just a junior who couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant.
Draven was indeed very afraid of Anbesa, but the pent-up anger in his chest was enough to fill it up. He hummed, "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Myrdal who took refuge in Piltover. For the sake of money, the commander-in-chief didn't clean you up and hide in your territory to celebrate, but dared to come to the Immortal Bastion?"
Anbesa's face darkened, she put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and said, "Boy, do you want to test whether my sword is still sharp?"
The two axes in Draven's hands also began to rotate, and he looked at Anbesa without showing any weakness. Ten years ago, he would hide as far away from Anbesa as possible, but now your time is over, old man!
Ji Xing found that there was nothing for him to do.
He shook his head and tapped the ground with his silver staff.
"Chong-"
In an instant, the loud and clear sound of a phoenix seemed to echo in the souls of Anbesa and Draven. They all looked at Ji Xing's staff. The phoenix on the handle of the staff expanded and flapped its wings!
No, I'm flying.
The next moment, Draven realized this fact. His face was distorted and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "How dare you attack me?! Seville! This is Noxus! Immortal Bastion!"
"Oh." Ji Xing pointed his staff outward.
Boom! !
A roar followed, and Delai Culture streaked across like a meteor, crashing directly through the wall of the passage! The huge explosion made the entire arena silent. Looking sideways, only a long scream was heard, and only a meteor streaked across the sky and flew into the distance!
What happened? What was that?
"Is this the power of a top-level wizard?"
In the passage, Anbesa bent down and picked up the two throwing axes that Draven had dropped. She weighed them in amazement and said, "You won't kill him, will you?"
"That's not the case. We're just going to send him home and let him sober up." Ji Xing said with a smile.
Outside the passage, some officers and staff hurried over after hearing the noise. They didn't know Ji Xing, but they knew Anbesa, and they knew Draven's axe even more.
The battle-ready momentum collapsed, and the leading colonel greeted, "Lord Anbesa? What happened here? Where is General Draven?"
Anbesa swung her axe and made Draven's axe embed into the wall. She turned around and chuckled, "I don't know. Maybe there was something urgent at home. He left in a hurry after chatting for a few words. I don't know if he can catch up with tonight's performance."
"..." Everyone looked at each other.
Who can believe you if you say that?
It seems like something big has happened!
But they couldn't afford to offend Anbesa.
"Why did Lord Anbesa have the interest to come to the Immortal Fortress's arena this time?" The arena manager who hurried over could only suppress his uneasiness and smiled apologetically: "And the extraordinary wizard next to you... could it be..."
"He is Seville." Anbesa said, "Well, the show is about to start, take Seville and me to the best seats!"
Everyone was shocked, their eyes became clearer, and they respectfully stepped aside to make way for passage.
……
"Mom, there's a shooting star!"
In the streets of Noxus, the little boy who was being held by a woman's hand jumped and shouted. The woman looked up in surprise, but saw nothing.
"It's over already, Mom is so stupid!"
“Haha, did Jacques make a wish to a shooting star?” the woman asked with a smile.
The little boy's happy expression froze, and he said sadly: "The shooting star flew too fast, I forgot."
"It doesn't matter. Jacques is still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't forget it next time."
"Ok!"
Such conversations happened in many places at the same time. Some people were overjoyed after completing their wishes, but as the Meteor himself, Draven was not happy.
"Bastard...bastard..."
Lying face down in the mud, the disheveled Draven struggled to get up, but due to the intense dizziness he pushed himself back into the mud several times.
He grabbed two handfuls of dirt angrily, blood dripping from his bitten lips. Draven's anger almost set the world on fire! This was the greatest humiliation I had ever suffered. What kind of evil magic did this damn mage use to make me fly to where?!
There was some noise in the distance, getting closer and closer.
“…What is this?!”
"General Draven?!"
"Quick! Call the doctor! Call the general!"
Do you know me? Call me General?
Draven, feeling dizzy and exhausted, felt himself being helped up by two people, with noisy voices of "Are you okay? Are you okay?" echoing in his ears.
Draven shook his head vigorously, and his double vision returned to clarity. He gradually saw the guy who was supporting him. He looked familiar.
Then Fang Zheng's gloomy face appeared in front of him, and Draven felt even more familiar with it.
"What's going on, Draven? Who put you in this state?"
"Darius..."
Draven's anger gradually disappeared, as if he had just woken up from a dream, but it was still a little hard to accept.
"Is this your general's residence?!"
Darius frowned, "You should have a reckoning performance at the Glory Arena tonight. Tell me quickly, what happened? It seems that you have provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked... Sewell? Didn't you take my warning to heart?!"
The majestic voice echoed in Draven's ears, and he felt the anger in it, but the anger of his brother, whom he feared the most when he was a child, was not worth mentioning at this moment.
I flew from the north to the south of the city? Over 30 kilometers? In just over a minute?!
More importantly, I'm still alive...
There was a flash of fear in his eyes, and he stood there silently with his fists clenched. No matter how Darius asked him, he remained silent with his neck stiff. Finally, he got his favorite fist and flew more than ten meters away.
When he fell down, Draven felt a little sad. It seemed that his brother's fists were not so powerful anymore?
……
"quack!"
In the Immortal Bastion, a group of black crows flew towards Swain with screams, disappearing into Swain's spread robes, leaving no trace.
What happened in the arena was transmitted to Swain through the crow's eyes. He nodded slightly: "A moderate lesson."
He had not worried about this. If Seville could not even handle such a small matter, causing the conflict with Draven to evolve into a conflict with Darius or even himself, it could only mean that Seville had already taken a clear stand.
The reason why he sent the crow clone to pay attention to it was only because of the weapon that Katarina demonstrated to him. The miraculous seven-fold enchantment told Swain that he had not paid enough attention to it before.
This is a strategically significant mage who is not only extremely powerful, but also has the ability to mass-produce "semi-legendary weapons". Unfortunately, Noxus has no chance to gain his loyalty.
Maybe this is Leblanc's plan? To arouse my greed? He was still uneasy in his heart, thinking it wouldn't be that simple.
At this moment, the secret demon suddenly gave him a strong alarm. Swain stood up suddenly and looked at the big purple bald head in front of him, flashing with arcs, as if it had emerged from the void.
"You are...Runemage Ryze?!"
"Excuse me, the current monarch of Noxus." Ryze bowed slightly in greeting.
Swain quickly calmed his expression. He rarely showed signs of being horrified, but the person in front of him was different.
The legendary Rune Mage Ryze is a truly legendary figure. Countless people have seen him, but very few records have been left behind. The only thing that is certain is that he is extremely powerful.
If the Pale Lady is already the top mage in Runeterra, famous for her cunning tricks and endless identities, then Ryze should be famous for his strength and persistence.
Walking in the most desolate places, collecting and protecting runes for thousands of years, and coming into contact with countless world runes, he has no idea how much knowledge he has gained. He may very well be the one standing at the top among the top wizards of mankind!
After obtaining the power of the demon, Swain felt pressure for the first time, something he had never experienced on the Pale Lady!
Ryze was actually a little surprised. What he felt from Swain made him hold back what he was about to say, but this matter was nothing compared to the World Rune, so he just observed without intending to judge the demonic power.
Swain was the first to break the silence. "I didn't expect Ryze to appear in the Immortal Bastion. Could it be that a world rune appeared in Noxus? If so, please take it. Noxus will not covet that kind of catastrophic power."
"Thank you for your understanding." Ryze shook his head and said, "But the world rune that appeared should have been taken by a mage. I captured its fluctuations twice, and both times it flashed by. I can be sure that it is in this city, Commander Swain, have you noticed anything?"
This city? Own it?
Swain paused, and became serious. The Pale Lady? Or... Sewell? Could it be that Sewell's power came from the World Rune? !
No, wait, wait, this isn't going to be one of the Pale Lady's tricks, is it?
Secretly, he didn't even notice the fluctuation of the world rune... He looked at Ryze carefully, is the rune mage in front of him really himself?
The Pale Lady's doppelganger?
No, it shouldn't be, but... Swain had all kinds of thoughts in his mind. No matter how he looked at it, there was a "trick" here, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At the end of February, I updated 2 words in a short time. I will try harder in March. The Alliance is a little hard to write, so I won’t set a high goal. I will just update 12 words… Please vote for me! If you don’t vote, it will expire!
