Chapter 71 gives the answer to the sword hero of the wind
After Akali left, only Zhou Yan and Yasuo were left sitting opposite each other in the room. Being in the same room as Yasuo made Zhou Yan's pressure increase instantly.
"Well, can I leave?" Zhou Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Your problem ......"
"I still have a lot of questions." Yasuo opened his eyes and looked directly at Zhou Yan: "Can you tell me, do you know me?" β
Regarding Yasuo's question, Zhou Yan hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
All he knows about Yasuo comes from Yasuo's backstory in the game. But should he sue SΓΉ Yasuo about this? What if there were some secrets that Yasuo didn't want to tell to others?
After all, if one day a stranger suddenly appears in front of you and tells some of your secrets directly. I'm afraid that at this time you will not be curious, but afraid. After all, someone you don't know at all suddenly proves that he knows your secrets. So, have you ever thought about the option of extinguishing the mouth?
As if seeing Zhou Yan's hesitation, Yasuo shook his head and said, "Don't worry about anything, I just want to know an answer." β
"Answer?" Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, but then understood what Yasuo meant. He wanted to know through Zhou Yan the real murderer who killed the elder.
However, Zhou Yan didn't know either.
Although the background of Yasuo's escape is mentioned in the game in the previous life, it has never been stated who the real murderer is.
Well, in the previous game, there was another character in the game who exiled the Blade Riven, and Riven's ultimate was called Wind Slash, and Yasuo's backstory mentions that the elder died under the Wind Ward Sword Technique.
Even, when Yasuo and Rui Wen meet in the game, there will be a special dialogue.
"Everybody's going to face punishment, Rivien."
"Which is more important, your blade or your past?"
"Another sword of the wind?"
From these conversations, it can be seen that Yasuo has actually faintly regarded Rui Wen as the real murderer. And this may be almost faintly accepted by the mainstream view. However, these are all speculations, after all, the game's officials have not given an answer.
Seeing that Zhou Yan was still hesitating, Yasuo sighed: "It seems that you know what I want to ask, so I'd better talk about another person first......"
"Banished Blade, Riven." What answered Yasuo was Zhou Yan's calm mouth.
In fact, Zhou Yan can pretend to be stupid all the way to the end, as long as he insists that he doesn't know anything, Yasuo and Akali can't do anything about him.
But Zhou Yan couldn't help but think of the first time he met Yasuo just now-
"Are you here to kill me, too?"
"Do you think I'm a murderer too?"
At that time, Zhou Yan could see that Yasuo's questioning was not actually aimed at him or the others present. Rather, it is another object that only exists in Yasuo's memory. That Yasuo's biological brother, Yon.
And remembering Yasona's expression on the verge of collapse at that time, Zhou Yan suddenly had the urge to answer him.
"You know?" Yasuo smiled with satisfaction at Zhou Yan's answer.
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded. He was willing to answer Yasuo's question, not simply because of that impulse, but also because of his own purpose later.
"However, before I do that, I want to confirm one thing, do you think Riven is the answer you want?"
Faced with Zhou Yan's question, Yasuo just nodded silently.
"Then it seems that we have nothing to talk about." Zhou Yan sighed and planned to get up and leave.
"Why?"
"You've already found the answer, isn't it just to reassure yourself that I'm asking for verification?" Zhou Yan smiled bitterly: "If it's just like this, I don't think it's necessary to continue talking." β
Zhou Yan's words silenced Yasuo. In fact, he did have this purpose, and he just needed an endorsement in his heart to reassure himself.
And the reason why Zhou Yan said this is because he has his own opinion on the matter of Yasuo and Ruiwen. After all, Yasuo is his favorite hero in the game. And for the "real murderer", he also had a period of research.
"So, what do you think?" After a long silence, Yasuo looked at Zhou Yan, his eyes already full of exhaustion.
"Before that, can you make a request?"
"If I can do it, please."
"Can you share your swordsmanship experience with me after this?"
Regarding Zhou Yan's request, or rather, this was as a reward for his intelligence to Yasuo, Yasuo nodded strangely.
He had already expected that Zhou Yan would make some requests. Originally, he guessed that Zhou Yan would make some more realistic requests such as making him a companion helper, or teaching him wind control swordsmanship. But what Zhou Yan proposed was just an exchange of swordsmanship experience.
Exchanging swordsmanship experience, this is obviously an open-ended request. At least Yasuo could have hid his clumsiness after this, and the so-called communication became a joke. Yasuo didn't have to pay anything if he wanted to.
Of course, Zhou Yan didn't know Yasuo's thoughts, and he naturally had his own ideas when he made this request.
Originally, he hadn't considered letting Yasuo agree to be his companion. At least after becoming a companion, there is also a chance to communicate together.
However, Zhou Yan always felt that this kind of companionship bound by conditions was too unstable. So he gave up this option. As for letting Yasuo teach him the sword art of resisting the wind? Zhou Yan was not interested at all. After all, he has his own swordsmanship and genre, and although Yasuo's Wind Resisting Sword Technique looks powerful, it may not be suitable for him. Forcing himself to study may even get him into trouble or even hinder his current achievements.
After some thought, Zhou Yan put forward the request that he thought was the most appropriate.
Deepen your understanding of each other through the exchange of swordsmanship, and you may not have the opportunity to become partners in the future. Moreover, the so-called exchange of swordsmanship experience, Zhou Yan's purpose is not in swordsmanship, but in the cognition of swordsmanship and strength. But before that......
After getting Yasuo's consent, Zhou Yan spoke: "Then, let me talk about what I know first, if there is anything incomplete, you can add it." β
Then, Zhou Yan told the background story about Yasuo in the game in his previous life, including the fact that he was the only one among his disciples who had mastered the sword art of resisting the wind, the fact that he betrayed his duty and caused the elder to die, the fact that he was willing to accept the punishment of dereliction of duty but was slandered for the crime of murder, the story of fleeing because he wanted to clear his name, the story of killing his brother Yongen on the way to escape, and the fact that he was told that the elder died of the sword art of resisting the wind.
When he heard Zhou Yan mention the name "Yongen", Yasuo's body was obviously shocked. And after Zhou Yan finished speaking, he shook his head: "It seems that you know more than I and the Shadow Fist guessed. β
"No, just a little bit of knowing." Zhou Yan shook his head in denial, and changed the topic: "So, you decided that Rui Wen, who can slash the wind, is the murderer?" β
Yasuo nodded, "Yes, after all, the elder died in the ...... of the wind"
"But I don't think so." Zhou Yan directly interrupted Yasuo's words.
"Why?"
Although, in the previous life, the remarks that Rui Wen was the murderer were already mainstream. But Zhou Yan never thought so. After all, as his favorite hero, he had been studying Yasuo's backstory for a while.
He also knows about Yasuo and Ruiwen's easter eggs.
But there are a lot of doubts here.
For example, in the easter egg, only Yasuo spoke to Rui Wen, but Rui Wen didn't say anything to Yasuo. Doesn't this mean that Yasuo unilaterally regarded Rui Wen as a murderer?
And even if Rui Wen killed the Elder. But Rui Wen was a soldier in Noxus at that time, and wasn't it natural for a soldier to kill an enemy on the battlefield? At least, in a war where there is no right or wrong, Zhou Yan doesn't feel that Rui Wen must be called a murderer. If the official finally gave such a result, it would make Zhou Yan feel that he was forcibly feeding Xiang.
In addition, in Yasuo's backstory, Zhou Yan also found a lot of doubts.
First, the elder in the rear was killed? Even if Yasuo left his post and threw himself into the battlefield without permission, if the rear was broken through by the enemy, it would prove that the battlefield Yasuo threw himself into was defeated. But in the background, it says that after that, "he returned to the elders."
Note that the term "return" is used here, meaning that the elder was still in place when he died. At least if the frontal battlefield has been defeated, Zhou Yan doesn't think that the elder will not run away, standing in place and waiting for someone to kill. And Yasuo's ability to "return" to such a relaxed state also proves that although he left his post without permission, that battle was their victory in the end.
Second, after the Elder's death, Yasuo was accused of murder. And he didn't even have any chance to argue, all he could do was draw his sword and fight. What does this mean? Before the representative was even tried, Yasuo was charged with murder and sentenced to death on the spot.
Third, Yasuo was on the run for several years, and after fighting with his brother Yon, he learned from Yon that the elder died in the "Wind Resisting Swordsmanship", the question is why Yasuo didn't ask why he was regarded as a murderer in so many previous pursuits? Is it because the pursuers don't give him time to ask at all?
And, why, at the second point, Yasuo was only accused of murder, but didn't say why he was charged?
For example, someone points at you and says you're a murderer, and then there's nothing. Don't even provide evidence, do you think this can be true?
The most important point is that "the elder died of the Wind Resisting Sword Technique", and Rui Wen can only slash the wind with one move. It's just a kind of vacuum chop, and there is no mention in the game that Riven will "resist the wind". So, wouldn't it be too far-fetched to say that Rui Wen is the murderer?
The above is Zhou Yan's inference. In connection with the world in which he lived, he knew about the struggle for power in some ancient sects through his mother. He has already come to a corollary.
At the very least, Yasuo was only the only disciple of his generation who had mastered the sword art of resisting the wind. It's just that among the peers......
However, this inference is only speculation. After all, the game official has not given a clear answer. If the official finally says that Rui Wen is the murderer, then there is no way to do it. But now that the real Yasuo is in front of him, how could Zhou Yan miss this opportunity to verify?
So, he told Yasuo what he knew and what he thought.
After listening to Zhou Yan's words, Yasuo fell into a deep silence. It was a silence that even the air was stagnant, and it made people feel oppressive.
In Yasuo's mind, scenes couldn't help but flash:
Obviously the first person in his generation, he was asked to stay behind. And no matter how much he asks for it, he is even willing to let his fellow disciples whose strength is far inferior to him go to the battlefield and not let him go. And the reason is that as the only new generation of disciples who have mastered the sword art of resisting the wind, he can't die casually. But the person who said this reason stimulated his young and arrogant self with cold ridicule.
And Yasuo still can't forget the gratitude in his eyes when he threw himself into the battlefield regardless of QiΔ, and the weak fellow disciples he saved looked at him.
When he returned, he saw that the elder was dead. There was no chaos around.
He was then accused of being a murderer. His fellow accusers, without even presenting any evidence, drew their swords against him and intended to execute him summarily.
Finally, there is the arrival of Yon. Even if he didn't know how to resist the wind swordsmanship, Yong'en, who was not weaker than himself, fell lightly under his sword. Yasuo wasn't stupid, he had long since sensed that Yon was seriously injured.
And Yongen finally showed a mocking smile: "Who else can do it but you?" β
In fact, there is no need for Zhou Yan's analysis, Yasuo already has a faint answer, but Zhou Yan's analysis tore through his last disguise and made him have to face a bloody fact.
"Who needs you to pay the penalty for my sins with your own death?" Yasuo remembered his brother who had taught him humility and tolerance, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
"Looks like you already have the answer." Zhou Yan stood up and didn't say anything more.
Yasuo did not answer Zhou Yan either.
Zhou Yan walked out of the house directly like this, and carefully closed the door. A slightly hoarse voice came from the room, as if it was a cry of despair and unwillingness from the trapped beast.
