This chapter will be inserted between the original chapters 65 - Council of Elders and 66 - Xia Ma Wei, and is an addendum to the blank space in the previous Ionian House of Elders, which was similar to the House of Europe, sitting in a circle and embodying equality, and this lack of distinctive features will be changed in the new edition

Reginard must admit that from the moment he stepped into this building, he felt the pressure of its design.

The elders' seats were high above the front and sides of the semicircular building, and whenever the meeting of the House of Elders began, they must have already sat down, looking down at the people below from a height of dozens of feet. It is as if standing on a cliff overlooking the abyss. Three feet above their heads, there are portraits of the elders who once sat here and who have kept Ionia prosperous to this day.

Three feet above your head is where our ancestors are, watching what they are doing today.

For hundreds of years, most of the order of this island was here, ruled by these nearly 100 elders, who came from different villages, different industries, merchants, ninjas, martial arts masters, and magicians from the other side of the sea.

The elders sat on the throne high, like gods looking down on all living beings from above the nine heavens.

Although they were far from the ground, the marble walls fused with magic crystals allowed the building to contain all the sounds, and even whispers would be echoed into a clear and audible sound, so that citizens who came to observe the public deliberations had to stand outside the fence in order.

It is also thanks to the magic crystals fused in the stone that the marble façade of the Elder's House is covered with verdant vines and plants to symbiosis and intertwine with this ancient building, such a relationship is like Ionia and Heavenly Nature.

But Reginald is not intimidated by the designer's tricks, he is Reginald, and he never backs down when confronted by angels who radiate light and flame all over his body.

Today he strode into the depths of the abyss, hunting in the white robe, rolling in the wind (he had to admit that the effect of the white robe fluttering was achieved by his wind element).

He came here today like a tornado, to create a storm in this empty building that had been as calm as a backwater for a hundred years.

"The dream of centuries of peace is over, and if we don't want to drown in our dreams, we can only fight!"

He smiled, his days in a foreign place made him almost forget that he had been a politician and that he knew what to do in public was the most reassuring.

"Sunhunter has fallen, and before Noxus captured it, it waged its tail at Noxus' feet and begged for mercy! Noxus used gas bombs as their answer. You like to talk about negotiating, negotiating, negotiating, but do you really have the capital to sit at the negotiating table? Starfall Town has fallen, and all the large and small swordsmanship gyms and ninja sects have been broken one by one by Du Kekao! Who would give up a piece of fat on their lips? ”

"Do not think that the occupation of Noxus is nothing more than the reign of a tyrant in Ionia. In the dungeons of the dark city-state of Noxus, there are countless struggling paupers and slaves, and only when war strikes can they crawl out of that abyss and plunder everything they crave from the strangers who live in peace! They will devour the lives of all of you with hatred! ”

Now that Ionia has Karma, their spiritual pillar to inspire them, and their own hero, Li Qing, the only thing they need is an impregnable wall and an unstoppable army.

"Now I need a letter of appointment to be the commander-in-chief of the defense of Ionian City, with Li Qing and Zelos as my deputies. I can mobilize all armies, and no one is allowed to interfere, and I am solely responsible for the repair and alteration of the walls of Presidium. We have no time to waste, and anyone who delays here will become a sinner of Ionia through the ages! Start voting, Elders! ”

He looked at Speaker Karma, who was in the middle of the sky, in the highest position under the heavenly vault, and she looked helpless, like an island sandwiched between the elders' seats on either side. But when their eyes met, the sense of reassurance made her eyes like hot soft iron immersed in a cold mountain spring, and turned into a place as hard as steel.

His voice echoed in the chamber of the House of Elders, his eyes were firm and his voice was loud, as if he was about to wake up the gods in heaven with a few words.

"I agree." Kalmar said. "I will personally draw up the letter of appointment and inscribe the spirit seal of the Apocalypse. Ionia is in a state of emergency, and lengthy meetings can be slowed down from here, and everything is focused on the war. ”

"I'm against it!" An elder with a white beard stood up tremblingly, his hand on crutches shaking. "You can't use your power like that, Karma! And...... This one...... This stranger! There is no right to put forward a bill at all! Are you ...... Steal the country! ”

Reginard smiled faintly as he faced the harsh accusation. That's right, Karma is too young and weak, and it is precisely because of this that she can be the spiritual leader of the gods, the Apocalypse, and the Speaker who presides over the judgments of the House of Elders.

She is like a harmless plant that can only emit fragrance and be viewed by others. But in fact, Reginad could see that there was supreme power hidden in her, enough to call on the whole of Ionia.

She just needs someone to advise her and teach her how to play a good role as a determined psychist.

"Objections are invalid!" Speaker Karma said, "Please start voting now, but I will approve the appointment anyway." Anyone who chooses to vote against it, I will discuss your stay in the House of Elders in a future meeting. None of us can afford the responsibility of war. ”

Such words were like a depth charge that detonated the entire House of Elders. Ignoring these objections, Karma hung a pen on the paper with the words of the commission, and the thick black ink soaked into the paper, turning into the power of black and white letters.

That's right, that's power.

She obtained this by chance, and the former Speaker believed that this girl, who was born to be timid in major matters, would never use it. She believed that it was providence, and if there was a glimmer of hope in Ionia, it was a revelation hidden in despair.

Now she wields this power for the sake of Ionia's survival.

The psionic energy lingered in the palm of his hand, pressed against the paper, and turned into a luminescent green mark. Then came the seal of the House of Elders, which was kept by the Speaker, and the crimson seal was like a pool of blood.

She rolled up the mandate into a scroll, and the psionic power turned into a hand, sending it to Reginard from the high seat.

Reginard took the scroll, but suddenly wanted to laugh, but the invisible mask of the young politician held back his smile.

Because this scene reminded him of a painting.

It was an oil painting he had seen in the Church of Light in Demacia. The white-haired god in the air, shrouded in holy light, stretched out his hand to the man lying on the earth, and the man also raised his fingertips to make contact with the god's finger. It was as if the gods would give him supreme power and divinity through this small touch.

Reginard knew that if he wanted to be a conspirator, he would take advantage of the opportunity to become a conspirator.

Perhaps it was for this reason that General Du Qukao decided that he was a suitable opponent, because they were similar, and he knew that Reginard could be another version of himself if he wanted to.

"Let's go." He said to Li Qing. "Go and see our army."
