The immortal fortress of Noxus, it was once the fortress of the ghost Mordekaiser, but now it has become a forbidden place where secrets are hidden... The Noxus Empire has expanded for thousands of years, and the races and countries have perished. Countless, under the curse of countless dead souls, the capital of this empire continues to grow and develop in the shadow of this fortress full of resentment.
From the continent of Valoran to the nascent land of Ionia, from the Sea of Conquerors to the Sea of Watchers, the territory of the Noxus Empire extends as far north as the Freljord Ice Canyon and as far west as Demacia. The White Cliff City separated by the mountains, multiple ports on the northern coast of Shurima, and several islands as far west as Ionia...the banners of conquest by the Noxus Empire have been planted in almost half of the entire world of Runeterra. The land has deservedly become the most powerful empire in the entire rune world!
In the entire Runeterra, no one dares to disobey the majesty of the empire, and no one dares to tease the fangs of the empire, not even Demacia, Freljord and Ionia!
Because, even in a three-sided war, the empire's legions have been suppressing those stupid countries and forces that dare to resist the empire! Given time, it is only a matter of time before the Empire defeats those stubborn ones and takes over the entire Runeterra.
All Noxians believe this...
However,
Today, the bell of the Trefari Council in the immortal fortress of Noxus was rung again. It was summoning the empire's top officials and nobles to discuss matters, but it was not for the purpose of using troops abroad or suppressing rebellion somewhere. , but something more difficult.
"..."
"..."
This meeting has been held for a long time. After many imperial generals and senior officials argued for a long time, they still failed to come up with any reasonable and effective regulations.
Regarding the three Noxian leaders Jerry Coswein, the Hand of Noxus, Darius, and the pale witch LeBlanc of the Black Rose who were captured when they went south to deal with the Gray Order, they have to deal with that difficult matter. , they have no clue at all, and no way at all!
This meeting has lasted for a whole day...
"..."
"Draven, what do you want to do?"
Now, the only one left in the Trifari Council of Three is the Honorable Executioner, Draven, who is said to be feared by all Noxians!
Therefore, after the discussion was fruitless, the Noxian nobles pointed to the magical image in the middle of the council, pointing to the magnificent white of the 'grey order' that the mages and scouts had taken the risk of flying to investigate. City asked.
That city, they were sure, was not like that before their Noxus Empire's plans for it were implemented! It was as if it had been established overnight. Just like the arrest of the three top executives of Noxus, it was covered with a veil that made people feel confused. It was completely I can’t see through the problem!
"..."
"Rescue Swain and Darius!"
A faint voice came down from the left seat of the three seats above Trifali Council. It was Draven's voice, as if suppressing boundless anger and murderous intent...
Beside him were two seats that had been vacant for several days. The two people who were supposed to be sitting on top of them had left a few days ago and never came back.
"..."
"I heard... they have been executed by the traitors?"
At this time, after everyone was silent for a while, the voice of a noble general rang out solemnly, which seemed particularly harsh in this dark and gloomy hall.
"No way!"
"The people of the Gray Order will not do that, nor can they do that! I know them better than anyone else, and Gregory is not that extreme person! Otherwise, he would not have chosen to escape during the coup. Aren’t you going to fight us to the death?”
Before Draven could say anything, a low-level congressman who seemed to have some friendship with those from the Gray Order loudly refuted.
"But you have no proof that they are still alive!"
"snort!"
"But you have no evidence that they are dead! Have you seen their bodies? Have you seen their heads?"
"..."
"There is no point in arguing. I still prefer that they have been killed! If it were us, the captives would always have a dead end!"
"They are different from us in Noxus!"
"Yeah……"
"But you can't deny...their Gray Order has a grudge against us! Back then, it could be said that we were the reason they had to leave their hometown and go to the land of voodoo!"
"Besides, I also heard..."
"Less than half of those who successfully reach the land of voodoo?"
"..."
"I firmly believe that Swain leads them and they are not dead yet!"
"But in fact, they are probably dead. The empire should not stop moving forward for the sake of a few people who are destined to die. We must solve the current chaotic situation at the top of the empire!"
"Then what do you want to do? Do you want to sit on the two empty chairs?"
"you……"
"snort!!"
Before Draven could say anything, the lower-level councilors, nobles, and generals started arguing again. Basically, no one could convince anyone, and no one could come up with a reasonable solution.
"..."
"Dlevin, tell me, what do you want to do?"
A woman's voice, hiding her body in the shadows, suddenly spoke. It was time to pass those who were arguing, and asked Draven in the seat above the parliament.
"..."
"I said it! Save them at all costs! Noxus cannot live without Swain and Darius!"
The still indifferent voice sounded, causing the lower-level congressmen, nobles and generals who were talking endlessly to stop.
"Oh? But now, some people don't want to listen to you?"
The woman's voice was full of ridicule and disdain, because she knew that it was not easy to make that group of unruly people obey.
"Anyone who doesn't listen will die!"
He, Draven, is the Executioner of Noxus, jailing anyone who opposes him if necessary and throwing them into his 'Death Run' arena for the Noxian spectators to watch. To see that delightful sensuality!
Especially at this time, in the most critical period of Noxus, if anyone dares to create chaos and spread rumors that are not conducive to the unity of Noxus, then he will definitely choose to do that.
even,
Maybe the methods will be more drastic?
"..."
"Draven!"
"According to Lord Swain's teachings, the rights of Noxus should never fall into the hands of a certain person?"
At this time, I don’t know who it was, but suddenly said something in the crowd that I had been thinking about for a long time! Obviously, some people can no longer sit still after being immersed in it for a few days.
"Yes……"
"So, I am now going to temporarily expand the three-person parliament to five people. Two of you can serve as temporary members until Lord Swain and my brother come back!"
"..."
"But I want to make something clear... No one can replace the seats of my brother and Lord Swain! We must use all our methods to get them back!"
"Before seeing their bodies..."
"We will not give up and we cannot give up!"
"Whoever dares to oppose will die!!"
"you……"
"Do you understand now?!"
Standing up from the seat of three members, Draven walked to the edge of the steps with a sullen face, looking expressionlessly at the group of guys below who had been arguing all day but had not come to a conclusion on anything. them.
"I object, we should..."
puff! !
A voice of opposition stopped just as soon as it started...
Because, a flying ax instantly sank into the head of the nobleman who spoke out, making him unable to make any sound anymore...
Subsequently, countless black-armored soldiers, the most elite Trifali Legion, poured in from outside the parliament in a real formation, and used the ferocious weapons in their hands to target all the participating parliamentarians, nobles and generals.
"..."
"Now, let's officially have the meeting..."
Draven's faint voice rang out in the Noxian council hall again.
Demacia's history books clearly record that at the end of the aftermath of the Rune Wars, at that time, the refugees across the entire Valoran continent were unable to avoid the destructive power of magic, and had to fight against that cruel magic. Fleeing home during the war, fleeing to the further edges of the continent...
According to legend, in the west of Valoran, a group of refugees was being hunted by a vicious black magic war group. After a sleepless journey that lasted for several days, the refugees had no choice but to hide in an ancient forest. Middle... The trees here have long since dried up and turned into fossils. They are very similar to the fossil forest where a certain captured Shadow Bear once stayed?
In short, the mages pursued them here, and then they discovered that their magic had no effect in this forest?
The fossils of those strange trees are like natural magic barriers. Any spell will suddenly misfire and be annihilated when it is cast. Therefore, without the spell, the refugees are no longer lambs to be slaughtered. , they raised their swords and drove the black magicians who had lost their magic from this land.
And this is the current land of the Kingdom of Demacia! !
Subsequently, this group of refugees from the Rune War began to rebuild their homes in this sanctuary that could shield magic, on this land given by God...
Many years later, the earliest settlers, the Demacians, used these magical woods to make many kinds of armor... So, later they discovered that the fossils of this tree can be mixed with lime to make magical Forbidden magic stone?
That kind of material has strong resistance to magic. It can absorb magic and achieve the effect of banning magic! As a result, it quickly became the cornerstone of Demacian civilization and built a wall high enough to withstand any magic for the cradle of the Kingdom of Demacia.
Then, in the following years, as long as they were protected by the Forbidden Stone barrier, Demacians would not be afraid of magic invading their homeland! At the same time, they can also use the Forbidden Magic Stone to prevent any magic from resurrecting in their homes!
"..."
I don’t know if it was due to the change in mood, or if it was in ancient times when magic could be used with confidence. Anyway, when Lux was hesitant and began to test in Bouvier Manor, according to that After the little girl Annie taught her meditation method to use the magic light in her body, she was shocked to find that she seemed to have a little more control over the powers in her body, making them no longer so powerful. Angry?
So, in a happy mood, she took the time to look at the little girl who had been messing around at the side since just now.
"Annie!"
"What you are holding is... a forbidden magic stone?!"
As soon as the sharp-eyed Lux stopped contacting her, she recognized the kind of thing she had come into contact with and studied many times before.
"It's not a forbidden magic stone!!"
(w)
What Anne is holding in her hand is indeed the forbidden magic stone that Demacia people take for granted, but in fact, it is not like that.
"..."
How could it be possible to deceive Lux about this matter?
You know, she grew up in Demacia, and she once tried to use this stone to control the magic in her body. Although it turned out that there was no way...but she was very sure that it was the Forbidden Magic Stone. undoubtedly!
She was already familiar with the magical ability that could affect the magic light in her body even from a long distance away.
"It can't help but absorb magic. It's actually absorbing magic..."
"Anyway, it's far from being forbidden to be a demon or something!"
(w`)
Forbidden Magic prohibits any magical effects, and the Demacian 'Forbidden Magic Stone' that Annie is holding now is just a natural mineral that can absorb a large amount of magic. Only those who are immobile and afraid of magic can Demacians naively think they are 'forbidden magic stones'!
If such good things were shipped to the Gray Order, those old masters would definitely pay a big price! Of course, Anne was not short of money now and had never thought of selling them.
What she is thinking about now is actually something else...
"..."
"Annie, what do you want them for?"
Regardless of whether it was the forbidden magic stone or another name, Lux didn't want to argue too much with the little girl on this issue now. She was just curious, why was the other party, a mage, not afraid of this kind of thing?
What she had tried before was that once she came into contact with these times, a large amount of magic power would be sucked away and she would be weak for a long time. It felt very bad! What's worse is that after she recovers, her magic power will become even more powerful and uncontrollable. This is the real reason why she gave up using the forbidden magic stone to suppress her own power.
"Of course it's research!"
(= ̄w ̄=)
"Study what?"
Lux didn't believe that a little girl could study something that had been passed down by Demacia for thousands of years! After all, the other party is just a little girl who knows some magic?
"Of course we are studying how to use it to subvert Demacia's demon-forbidden system!!"
(`^)
'...'
"..."
Lux and Sona suddenly looked at each other, and then they were speechless for a long time.
Obviously, the two of them didn't really believe in the innocent thoughts of this little girl! Because Demacia's Forbidden Magic Stone has helped the Kingdom of Demacia thrive in this area for thousands of years. How could a little girl find a way to deal with it just by messing with it?
"Well……"
(*^^*)
"Ha! I seem to have thought of a good idea!"
\\//
Annie once thought about going to Demacia's magic-forbidden prison to make a big fuss, such as setting a fire, and then rescue the little kids with magic in their bodies and other awakened wild mages who were imprisoned there. Come out or something?
However, after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that it would be too troublesome to do that...
So, after thinking hard, she decided that she would find a more trouble-free and fun way to deal with those annoying Demacians who clamored about dealing with magic and capturing magic every day! She must make those hateful guys deeply realize the horror of magic, and make them have to use magic!
hey-hey
Only in that way can it appear that Queen Anne's methods are extraordinary and make her feel happy! Anyway, she just wanted to have fun with those Demacians, but she didn't want to fight with them, because she was a peace-loving little girl and couldn't think about doing that kind of evil all day long. Things that only bad people can do.
'? ? '
"..."
Lux and Sona were still surprised. They didn't understand why a certain little girl looked startled.
"hey-hey……"
(**)
"Sister Sona, and Miss Lux, watch out! Aren't those bad guys in Demacia shouting about forbidden magic all day long? Think about it... if the whole of Demacia is full of magic As for living things, that situation would definitely be interesting, right?”
(*`)
"..."
"Demacia is full of forbidden magic stones. Magical creatures cannot survive here..."
There are many other magical creatures in Runeterra, and Lux certainly knows that. As the steward of the Crownguard family, she knows far more than the average person of her age!
"!!"
"Wait, what are you doing?"
Before she finished speaking, Lux was shocked to realize: not only the forbidden magic stone in the little girl's hand, but also all the forbidden magic stones in Demacia, whether they were in the city walls or buried in the soil. In, in buildings, on the road, on the streets, even those native ones, etc...
They were... actually emitting bursts of magical flashes, and they were resonating with the piece in the little girl's hand? !
"Okay, you're done!"
(''`)
With that kind of vibration and the hidden magical light that almost only those with magical powers can see, it flashed across Demacia, and then, amid the cheers of little Annie, everything became calm again. Come down.
'? ? '
"Annie, what on earth did you do?"
Before Sona could ask from her heart while playing the piano, Lux, who seemed to have noticed something terrible was happening, hurriedly asked.
Because no matter how bad Demacia is, no matter how unfriendly it is to magicians like them, it is still her home and her beloved country, and their Crownguard family has sworn to protect this kingdom and their royal family. , so she didn't want this little girl to really do something evil and terrible to Demacia.
"hey-hey……"
"Did you see that rat over there?"
Annie pointed mischievously at the yellow-haired mouse that was just circling in the garden and looking around blankly. At this time, its ears seemed to have become longer and more pointed, and its tail stood up, like lightning. Even the hair has become golden?
"ah!"
"It, how did it become like that?"
Lux exclaimed.
Whether it was her or Sona, both of them were sure that the mouse before was definitely not golden, its body was not that big, its ears were not so pointed, and its tail was not so curved and forked.
"this….."
"What a cute little thing...is this really a mouse?"
Under confusion, although she didn't understand what happened, Lux still walked over, as if she wanted to see what happened to the mouse?
"Hey! Don't touch it!!"
∑(っ°д°;)っ
However, Annie's reminder was still a little late... She promised that she definitely didn't mean it...
Well, she did it on purpose! !
'Pickup! Pickup! ! '
In panic, seeing the stranger approaching him, the golden mouse suddenly let out two sharp screams, and then a bolt of lightning exploded from its body and tail, directly electrocuting Lux who touched it. I had to fall down on the lawn, convulsed and passed out...
Then, the golden-haired mouse, not knowing what he had done, turned around, slipped into the grass and disappeared.
"Uh-huh……"
"The effect seems to be quite good? There are so many forbidden magic stones in the Kingdom of Demacia, and they have stored magic power for so many years. They must be able to transform many interesting animals, right?"
hey-hey……
After throwing aside the 'Forbidden Magic Stone' that resonated and released all the magic power in her hand, Annie clapped her hands and walked towards someone who was electrocuted and fell unconscious. Little sister on the grass.
Didn't anyone tell her that wild Pikachus that haven't been caught by the summoner can't be touched? I just hope that there won’t be too many rats and other small animals in this Demacia city, such as insects, fish, birds and beasts, right?
