After the turmoil caused by Sona's disappearance subsided, the people of Noxus began a tense life of revival.

The Noxian military, which was already short of troops due to civil strife, fell into a serious crisis of disintegration after the war.

The Noxian nobles, who had been dormant during the war, finally got tired of their ambitions and tried to make their family the highest center of power in this now devoid of dragons.

However, in this time of crisis, the eldest lady of the Quekao family, Katerina Kekao, thundered and used drastic means to clean up all the nobles who were making trouble.

Immediately afterward, Caterina issued a new decree: during the reconstruction of Noxus, it was strictly forbidden for the nobles to hide private troops, and those who violated the order were to have their family's titles of nobility revoked, and half of their property was confiscated for the rebuilding of the official army and public facilities of Noxus.

As soon as this decree was issued, the nobles immediately took the lead in handing over all the private troops in Tibet to the military.

These private armies combined were twice as large as the armies that had resisted Ionia and Demacia, suggesting that these nobles had engulfed their own country in order to satisfy their own ambitions.

In view of the large number of these nobles with evil intentions, Caterina did not dare to be too radical and uproot them all.

Fortunately, these nobles were all in their own camp and did not unite, otherwise Caterina would not have subdued these nobles so smoothly.

……

In a tavern in a village on the western border of Noxus, a young man who has just returned from the central city of Noxus is talking to the people in the tavern about what he has seen and heard in the central city.

After hearing about Katerina's deeds, the people around were also enthusiastic, and they asked questions around the young man.

"Bang"! The closed wooden door of the tavern was kicked straight down at the door.

The people in the bar also fell silent instantly, and this person who could kick the door was probably not something they could provoke.

Outside the bar, a woman in a shabby white cloth dress that covered a third of her knees, with foot cuffs on her feet, walked in slowly.

The tavern was silent, echoing with the sound of clashing shackles. The woman's arms were also exposed because her clothes were too shabby, and her arms, legs and feet were covered with scars and dirty dust.

The young man who had just returned from the central city saw that the people in the tavern had fear and panic in their eyes, and it was a little incomprehensible.

Isn't this dirty woman with a messy head just a little more powerful, and a group of them will still be afraid of her alone?

The young man was arrogant and angry, and planned to come forward to teach the short woman a lesson.

A middle-aged uncle next to him saw that the young man was going up to look for trouble, and immediately stopped him.

"Young man, don't provoke her, that's a crazy woman!" The middle-aged uncle pulled the young man and whispered.

While speaking, the uncle did not forget to cautiously look at the crazy woman walking towards the bar, for fear that what he said would be heard by the woman.

Seeing that the young man was not convinced, the middle-aged uncle hurriedly pulled him towards a corner of the bar.

After sitting down, the middle-aged uncle said to the young man: "Young man, don't be unconvinced, the horror of that woman is not something you can imagine, she suddenly appeared in our village yesterday."

"If you look closely, you will see that the handcuffs have the emblem of Demacia, she is likely to be a felony of Demacia, who escaped from prison and fled to our Noxus!"

The young man was unimpressed, pouting and saying, "So what, she can beat us so many by herself?"

The middle-aged uncle looked solemn and nodded: "Just yesterday, she just came to our village, she was wandering around the street alone, talking crazy, she was a female madman, and some young men in the village wanted to tease her when they saw that although she was very dirty, she looked good, guess what?"

"What's wrong?" Young people are piqued with curiosity.

"More than a dozen young people, were seriously injured in an instant by the sword in her hand that looked like a flowing cloud, if she wasn't a female madman, just dangling around, and ignoring the people she threw to the ground, I'm afraid they would all die at her hands, you better not hit her attention!" Speaking of this, the middle-aged uncle glanced at the crazy woman sitting in front of the bar counter with jealousy.

After listening to the uncle's narration, the young man lost his temper.

And in front of the bar, the madwoman said coldly to the waitress, "Prepare a wine bag for me, fill it with your strongest wine!"

The waitress dared not listen, nodded yes again and again, and began to prepare several wine bags for the crazy woman before going to the wine cellar in the backyard to fill the wine.

"Father...... Dead ......"

"It's gone...... No ......."

As soon as the madwoman finished speaking, she began to mumble something she didn't understand, which made people completely confused.

She touched the saber hanging from her waist, and her face was as dead as ashes.

The madwoman's memory is only a closed confinement cell, and a blue-skinned female demon constantly whips her body with various criminal punishments.

Fragmentary memories, and a man who claimed to be her father was killed by the female demon in order to save her.

Painful fragments of memories hit her mind, causing her to fall to the ground in agony and convulse.

No one in the tavern dared to approach the mad woman, for they were afraid that the mad woman would burst out and hurt people.

When the waitress who had gone to the cellar to fill wine came back, she was so frightened that she saw the madwoman falling to the ground and convulsing.

After hesitating for a long time, the waitress still cautiously approached the crazy woman and reminded in a low voice: "I will help you fill the wine you want."

Wine! The madwoman's right eye was covered by a messy head, and her left eye looked at the waitress fiercely, snatched one of the bags of spirits, and drank it in one gulp.

With a few grunts, a bag full of liquor was drunk by the madwoman.

"Huh...... Ha...... Ha ...... "The madwoman gasped, and the sharp pain in her head was relieved a lot.

"Wine ...... Wine...... Wine ......" the madwoman whispered in despair as she looked at the empty wine bag in her hand.

Seeing this, the waitress on the side hurriedly handed all the extra bags of liquor to the crazy woman.

The madwoman picked up a few bags of wine and staggered out of the tavern under the bated gaze of everyone in the tavern.

The moment she disappeared at the door of the tavern, everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed.

……

In a hidden research room, Oriana trembled as she looked at her crazy father sitting at his desk.

Just now, her father was like crazy, constantly tearing up his design drawings for the past few days.

Seeing her father's angry appearance, Orianna stood trembling in place for no reason, she was afraid of such a father.

She knew that it was best for her to do nothing at this point, and if she tried to dissuade her father from going crazy, she would probably get a violent beating. Although she didn't feel pain, she still didn't like being punished by her father.

Listening to her father's nonsense about the machine research structure of the demigods, Oriana, who has little research on science and technology, does not understand at all. But the way her father looks always makes Oriana feel uneasy.

Even, sometimes her father looked at her and made her feel creepy.

Dr. Refik turned, his eyes glowing with a dead silence. He stared straight at Oriana and said, "Get me the pipe."

Oriana snorted, and handed the pipe to her father tremblingly.

Ignoring Oriana's fearful gaze, Dr. Refik lit his pipe on fire and took a few puffs.

It didn't take long for the dimly lit room to fill with thick smoke.

The oppressive atmosphere made Oriana very uncomfortable. If she is taken by her father like this, she is afraid that she will really degenerate into a robot that only knows how to carry out commands.

"Click"! The pipe snapped in two at Dr. Refik's hand, and Orianna shuddered as she shook.

She really didn't know how her father could have become like this, and she was desperate to find out what had happened to her father.

"Anna, it's time for us to kill someone!" Refik's indifferent voice was like a virus, quickly taking over Oriana's mind, making it impossible for her to be distracted from anything else.

Oriana's expression gradually became mechanical, as dull as a thoughtless shell. Even her voice has become like a real robot.

"Yes, my father, Orianna follows all his father's commands!"
