XXIII. The assassination of Demacia, theocracy
The battle on the outskirts of the city alarmed the city guards of Noxus. The www.biquge.info City Guards were late, and when the bulky mecha troops, the super soldiers, slowly arrived, Tyrone and Lux had already withdrawn.
All that was left at the scene was a headless corpse, with no face and no emblem of magical inscriptions, which led to countless speculations.
There was another high level of martial law in Noxus City, and only General Dukkao, after looking at the body, vaguely guessed what was happening.
After Tyrone had recovered his magic, he returned to the castle to hand in Shuria's head and magic emblem. Tyrone wasn't sure what the impact of killing Archbishop Demacia would be. And General Durkkao is a balancer... Tyrone wasn't sure if he would follow the general's wishes this time, and for the sake of safety, he would return to the castle in full state first, and it would not be a day or two away.
Inside the castle, Duke Kao looked at Shuria's head with a shocked expression: "It's really you! You can kill someone so much stronger than you!"
Tyrone said it roughly.
Tyrone was glad and excited: "Thankfully, Soraka helped us, she used the power of the stars to untie Lux, and it was she who provided me with a powerful source of strength at a critical moment when the two sides were fighting each other, and completed the fatal blow." ”
Durkkao frowned and thought, "Listening to your tone, you have a good impression of this Ionian sacrifice?"
When Tyrone heard this, he was slightly stunned and pondered the meaning of the general's words.
Is Noxus' plan to invade Ionia on the agenda? What should I do, with the forces to whom I am currently loyal and the Grace of Salvation on the other...
Durkkao tapped his finger on the desk and said, "Tyrone, listen to me, Soraka has been around since before humans returned to Earth! Over the past 300 years, Ionia has changed from royal rule to constitutional assembly, but Sorakar has been watching everything as a bystander. No one knew what she really thought, but they were afraid of her proximity to the magic of the gods, and the Ionian leaders of the old and the new all treated her with courtesy. ”
This seems to be saying... Nothing to do?!
Tyrone looked confused, he didn't expect the general to say that.
Durkkao warned: "Do you think that a demigod who has witnessed countless ups and downs over the years, seen countless joys and sorrows, and will suddenly be kind enough to help someone?"
Tyrone disagreed, and it was too dark for the secret channel to look at the problem this way. In Tyrone's cognition, Soraka is a life-saving and compassionate healer. Hawkers, my boss said so, and I didn't refute it first, and it was boring to talk about myself.
Duke Kao glared at Tyrone and said, "Behind Soraka is a vast god system, from which a fallen angel named Morgana stole an artifact. This artifact is called Athena's Evil Grail. ”
Tyrone was shocked, Athena, the Greek gods?! Are these guys in this world?
Duke Kao said secretly, what could attract the attention of young people more than curiosity? With Tyrone's strength now, it was time for this kid to know more secrets.
Duke Kao has released a magical barrier designed to prevent eavesdropping.
Tyrone listened intently to the secret.
Durkkao: "I know where Morgana is, because I locked her up. Kyle, the other angel of the church, is Morgana's older sister. This sister has been against me, not to save my sister, but for the Holy Grail in my sister's hand. It is said that when the chalice is filled with water, it can reflect the fate of the future. But the power of the Holy Grail is more than that. ”
"The Angels once joined forces with Athena to overthrow the last god-king Zeus. After the victory, Athena turned her face and killed the main god of the angel clan. After the death of the main god of the Angel Clan, Kyle and Morgana both have the right to inherit, but they turn against each other due to differences in philosophy. Unable to unite, the Angels collapsed. ”
Tyrone asked a few questions, and found that Duke Kao didn't know as much as he did. Duke Kao was completely unaware of Zeus's chaotic private life... It seems that all she knows is Morgana's retelling.
Athena's overthrow of Zeus was in accordance with prophecy.
Athena is ostensibly a goddess, but in fact she is a god with a man's heart and a daughter's body. Because the prophecy said that Zeus would be overthrown by his son, Achilles, the first to be born in response to the prophecy, was calculated and killed by Zeus and others.
Speaking of what should be the pre-embryo degeneration?
Seeing Tyrone thinking, Duke Kao approving, "Young people should be like this, think deeper about everything. You have to be careful with Soraka's line, stay away from her!Don't be arrogant to think you've achieved some great results, the gods aren't something you can afford to mess with!" Turning around, "By the way, Lux, who lives with you in a cabin on the outskirts of the city?"
Tyrone nodded, secretly taking a closer look at the general's face.
Durkkao laughed and scolded, "Don't look at me like that! I treat Lux like I do to my own daughter! Wait, so you haven't touched her yet?"
Tyrone tensed up all at once.
Duke Kao got up, patted Tyrone on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Don't worry." You two killed Shuria, and she has nowhere to go. From now on, you have to take care of Lux. ”
Tyrone had a high respect in his heart, so much so that it was not appropriate to take the general's previous warning to heart.
Tyrone hesitated, took out a book, and a page inside was a proof of identity written by Shuria, and asked, "General, look at this, is it possible that Lux can return to Demacia in glory?"
Durkkao took it in surprise and denied: "Impossible! Do you think the notes of a dead archbishop can prove everything?! Don't underestimate Demacia's spy system! How can the facts be reversed? ”
Tyrone was resigned, thinking to himself that I wasn't referring to the "plot", who knew that the situation was so difficult...
Duke Kao reprimanded Tyrone and brought it up again, "I'm going to restore you to the honor of killing Stirrak! The announcement will be re-issued, and the assassination will be completed by you after both sides are exhausted. ”
Tyrone was about to speak when he was interrupted by the general.
Durkkao: "Can't you see that? Caterina has been imitating me. She was like a shell, referring to the mirror of honor, trying to imitate every bit of me in the voice of others. "She didn't have the power to come from the heart, she lacked the soul of a warrior." "And you're different." ”
Tyrone was ashamed in his heart, and secretly said that I am as powerful as you say.
Duke Kao looked at Tyrone with a look of hope: "I'm running out of time... The top brass of Noxus also seemed to know this, and began to try their best to eliminate and win over my influence in the army. Draven and Riven both fell to that person... But forget it, Noxus was originally a country where self-interest is paramount. ”
"Tyrone!"
Tyrone immediately straightened up.
Durkkao solemnly entrusted: "I want you to take care of my two daughters. I know that they have always treated you badly: Caterina thinks you lack honor, Cassiopeia is prejudiced against you, but they are my father's only concern. ”
Tyrone: "I'm going to protect them like my own family!"
Distinct grievances have always been Tyrone's criterion.
Duke Kao groaned, and added, "Wait a minute... You and I go to the bottom of the prison and get Morgana out. The huge dark element in my body is about to be irrepressible, and this devouring force will turn a radius of dozens of miles into nothingness, and only the spatial confinement of the fallen angel can minimize the harm. "Don't tell my daughters about this, just tell them that I'm missing, it's a white lie, and it's just embarrassing you." ”
Tyrone: "I know..."
Duke Kao and Tyrone leave the castle, the former shielded by fire and the latter protected by thunder and lightning, each passing through the haze of the prison to the "underground" of Noxus.
It's a pure dark underground, a single darkness, but it feels much cleaner than the stinky gutter above. Stepping up the dark staircase, passing through dark doorways, behind a translucent dark barrier, Tyrone saw the fallen angel Morgana.
"You're here... Yo, you're almost finished, General. ”
Morgana was shirtless, her black hair hanging down her shoulders, obscuring the roundness. She was wearing a tattered black dress, her black hair covering her low-hanging face, and two faint purple eyes looked at the visitor.
Tyrone habitually looked at it a few times, and said in his heart: It's so round and warped, is it the legendary bamboo shoot?
Morgana exclaimed, "Where's the bastard!
Duke Kao said, "Young guys are like that. Time is short, I take back the dark seal magic on you, and you help me suppress the uncontrollable dark impact as promised. ”
Morgana restrained her anger: "If I don't care, isn't this guy next to you going to be hanged by space?" Why should I keep the agreement for someone who offended me?"
Duke Kao shook his head and said, "You don't have more garlic." I know that we humans are like buzzing flies flying in your ears in the eyes of your angels, who cares about the occasional little worm flying by when taking a bath? If you don't care, this position will drag you into the center of the earth, and it will be ten thousand times harder to get up at that time, do you want to be a fallen angel of eternal hell?"
Morgana yelled angrily, she had a very bad temper, in line with her sister Kyle.
Durkkao ignored her and withdrew the dark magic of the seal. One invisible lock after another of darkness was drawn from Morgana's body and returned to Durkkao's body.
Durkkao: "Three hundred years, I've gone from the bottom to the pinnacle of power, and now I'm back here..."
The dark palace began to disintegrate, the massive dark elemental was agitated, and Durkao's body blurred, gradually forming a dark vortex of terrifying suction.
Morgana howled in the sky, "I'm finally free!"
Tyrone didn't have time to feast his eyes on her wild move, because he had to hurry away and fight hard against the spatial tearing of the dark vortex!
Morgana stopped shouting and looked at Tyrone. She waited for a moment, and saw that the dark vortex had not yet sucked Tyrone in, and then cast a spell to stabilize the space. Dark magic poured out of her body, condensing into a thick dark orb that carried a huge gravity that even Tyrone in the distance felt heavy!
Dark Imprisonment!
The orb flew swiftly to the vortex, spreading out along the swirling spatial rift, stabilizing and tearing each other until it calmed down. Space magic is in Morgana's hands, and it is magical!
Morgana cast another spell, and several dark orbs struck out, re-stabilizing the disintegrating structure of the Dark Palace. After spending a lot of magic and finally finishing, Morgana turned her gaze to Tyrone and laughed loudly: "Ahahaha-dukekao, I've been locked up for so long, my anger hasn't stopped! I can't take revenge on you, just like your apprentice!"
Tyrone was stunned, and he was about to start fighting again, closing his thief's eyes, and making a gesture of reconciliation: "No, no, no, this lady, have you forgotten what the general said, we are going back to the ground!
Morgana played: "Falling to the center of the earth? Do you think it will be? I have already repaired the space around me to be unbreakable! By the way, I know that the martial arts of the Duke Kao family are centered on the instantaneous step. However, this place is not as good as the top, and the space is not only fragile, but also so strong that it is impossible to use in a flash. Think about it, and the punishment for offending me is either to die here, or to gouge out your own eyeballs. ”
Tyrone said pitifully and innocently, "But I just took a look..."
Morgana laughed: "Then you'll gouge out an eye!"
Tyrone was in a dilemma.
There is an element of luck in the success or failure of the world. Tyrone has the ability to analyze every success and failure, eliminate its luck component, and evaluate himself and his opponent in a pertinent manner. After a battle with Shuria, Tyrone realizes that it will be difficult to win the demigod rank.
At that time, in order to deal with the arcane leap, Tyrone could only use a wide range of magic bombardment, and the other party also had the idea of suppressing Tyrone's speed and used a wide range of magic to fight back. As a result, after both sides spent a lot of mana, Tyrone fell behind. It seemed that there were other methods of warfare, but in fact, there were not many options at the time.
Now, to overcome a perfect God... Tyrone asked himself, the dark vortex created when Duke Kao disappeared, he was powerless to calm it, let alone create a confined space that completely suppressed the flash. Dealing with the god-level Morgana, unless you lead a group of powerful magicians in advance, like catching Vega, and set up the trap of time traps, it is almost impossible to fight alone.
This time Tyrone was unlucky, and he was left alone here. It's a pity that I didn't digest a few pieces of magic equipment from the last battle, otherwise there might be another way.
Tyrone said helplessly: "Then say okay, gouge out an eye, and you let me go." ”
The general entrusted me with a pair of daughters, and Caterina lost her left eye, so it was better to replace it with mine, which happened to be the same emerald green now.
Tyrone reached out and removed his left eye! Blood flowed down the black hole on his left...
Morgana exclaimed, "You-!Are you crazy?
Shengsheng took off one eye, but it didn't look easy, it was much more painful than being stabbed blind, almost making Tyrone faint, unable to stand steadily, sitting on the ground with one butt and unable to open the other eye. But Tyrone has ears all over his body, can feel all the vibrations around him, and has not lost the ability to catch Morgana's movements.
Tyrone is both ruthless and scheming, and with the resilience of the sentence mangyi pulse method, it is easy to rebirth a left eye. This was a test of Morgana's attitude, and a real desire to transplant the eye into Caterina's left eye.
Since the last time she fought Steel, Caterina had her left eye scrapped and a mechanical eye installed. Artificial machines are no more than normal physical organs, and when fighting at high speeds, the speed of field of view focus adjustment will not keep up. In the latest small friction of the border army, Caterina had a rare opportunity to kill Galen, but this key point was off. It coincides with the collapse of General Dukkao's power, and rumors against the Dukkao family are flying, but in fact, Katerina is powerless and has words of suffering.
It is not surprising that the forces collapsed, and Draven and Ruiwen went elsewhere!
And what really worries Tyrone is not the forces that the general will collapse, but Caterina's life. Durkkao's martial arts are more assassin-oriented, focusing on capturing the opponent's weaknesses and targeting the opponent's flaws. However, there is also a fatal flaw in this style of play, that is, the eye that captures the opponent's weakness, and the eye is the flaw in this set of martial arts.
Caterina imitates her father too harshly, and will magnify this flaw infinitely. If it were the general himself, he would definitely deliberately avoid it. The last time she met a master, Caterina scrapped an eye. Tyrone wasn't sure how fast Galen was growing! If Galen noticed this detail one day, it would be fatal.
Tyrone said in his heart: "I definitely want to return to the ground alive and inform the eldest lady of this reminder..."
At this time, Morgana rushes over! Is she going to break her word, or is she going to keep her promise?
