Chapter 146, Presidium
Ionian capital, Presidian. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the national capital of Ionia, the history here has been for thousands of years, and it is the core of the entire Ionian culture and spirit.
The Shaojin Monastery is an ancient sect that has existed since the founding of Ionia, adhering to the principle of "peace and nature", which has influenced generations of Ionians, and is also the highest institution of learning in Ionia.
And the Présidian giant platform has a long story.
When talking about this legendary place, we have to mention another legendary person.
Blade Will, Irelia.
The Ionians have created some of the most breathtaking, deadly martial arts in the Runeterras, but that's just one of the ways they want to be the best. Their greatest swordsmanship was born as a by-product of defending against foreign invasions. Master Rito was a swordsman of great repute who was invited to serve as a sword instructor in almost all the city-states. His sword is said to breathe, and his swordsmanship is kept under high secrecy. No one expected that a strange plague fell from the sky, and all the doctors were at a loss for it, and the master was infected with this disease and died suddenly. Master Rito died with a son and daughter, Zelos and Irelia, as well as his legendary weapon.
Zelos became an officer in the Ionian army, traveling to Demacia to seek help on the eve of Noxus' invasion of Ionia. Before her brother returned to Ionia, Irelia was tasked with defending her homeland. When the Noxian army was overwhelmed, Irelia had to fight alone.
Despite the greatest resistance of the Ionians, they had no power to return to heaven, and the iron horses crossed the border, and the corpses were strewn everywhere.
Irelia
While the desperate Ionians were preparing to surrender on the Throne of Presidium, Irelia held up her father's heirloom sword and swore to defend her homeland until her brother returned with reinforcements. The Ionians were greatly encouraged and continued to resist the enemy. In the ensuing battle, Irelia was cursed by the Dark Wizard of Noxus. As she was dying, the "Son of the Stars" Soraka tried to stabilize her dissipating soul. Backed by a strong will to abandon her homeland, Irelia awoke from the brink of death. At this moment, her father's heirloom sword actually hung beside her in the air. Unsurprised by the Heirloom Sword, Irelia turned and threw herself into battle. The sword of the herald danced around her, slaying the Noxians in terror. The invaders, who suffered heavy casualties, were forced to withdraw their troops from Presidium. As a result of this battle, Irelia was appointed Captain of the Ionian Guard, and now, she has disappeared with the rebels to the north of Ionia.
Some say she died, others say she became the right-hand man of the resistance.
But in any case, the spirit of this blood-stained female swordsman was deeply embedded in the Primitian platform, and many young Ionians took Irelia as their idol, deeply implementing the spirit of "no surrender, no compromise", actively participating in the resistance and fighting against the Noxians.
……
In an inn in Presidian.
Looking at Lines on the bed, Ali on the side was full of guilt.
Although the doctor has already said that it is just a loss of strength, Ali is still not at ease.
Anne, who hadn't slept properly since the previous night, had been dragged to her room by Raven to sleep, while Galen and Professor André were in another room talking about the next trip.
Everyone tacitly did not mention anything about the temple of Pyras.
Lines was right.
Ember was playing tricks on everyone from the beginning.
There was no one to save at all, and he took advantage of Galen and the empathy of others.
In this regard, Ali can see that Galen and Raven are also very guilty.
It's no worse than your own heart.
For some reason, since Lines fell into a coma, Ali had never shown the same fear as when she first saw a killing, on the contrary, she calmly made everyone a little afraid that she was too stimulated.
Ali herself didn't know what was going on.
Obviously I'm scared to death, but I don't know why, I just don't want to show it.
She thought of a story she had heard when she was very young.
Once upon a time there was a child who had two goldfish, but strangely enough, she didn't let anyone look at her goldfish, she always said "the goldfish were bought with her own money." ”
But in fact, her goldfish has long since died, but the reason why she doesn't let others know is probably because she doesn't let her parents know about her sadness.
It sounds absurd, or the logic simply doesn't make sense.
But at this time, Ali felt that she could understand the little girl's mind a little bit.
Myself...... It seems that since the last injury, Lines has been taking care of himself.
Whether it's getting yourself pills or comforting yourself when you're scared.
It seems like...... The same as their own master.
Looking at Lanes, who was lying motionless on the bed, it took a lot of effort for Ali to find a suitable adjective.
But he always seems to be upsetting Lines...... And every time he gives him a headache, he always calls himself "little girl" contemptuously on the surface and then forgives himself.
Thinking like this, Ali didn't notice at all that the mysterious vertical line on her chest was shining at this time.
The master-servant contract is constantly influencing Ali, making her constantly have a sense of admiration and obedience to Lines in her heart, and finally willingly serve Lines.
For example, now, under its influence, the little girl's head has risen to the idea of "do something for Lines".
"No, I'm going to do something myself. ”
Saying that, Ali thought about it carefully, and seemed to ...... Lines didn't have anything to do with himself.
"Little girl, just take care of yourself. ”
At this moment, Lanes's voice rang in Ali's ears again.
That's right, take care of yourself.
Speaking of which, I don't think I took the medicine today.
As soon as she thought of the bitter pill, Ali felt uncomfortable.
But looking at the way Lines chases after himself to feed the medicine every day, it seems that it is indeed a bit hard.
Well, let's start by taking the medicine yourself.
Thinking like this, Ali pulled Lines's luggage open and rummaged through it, and it didn't take long to find the box containing the pills.
When I opened it, I found that there was only one pill left.
And the last one is still an eerie red.
It's not the same medicine I usually take.
Ali took the pill and looked left and right, hesitating.
But he looked at Lines lying on the bed, gritted his teeth, and swallowed the pill.
Okay, so spicy!
Ali covered her flushed face and thought in her heart.
At the same time, she also felt a strange power slowly rising from her body......
