Chapter 588: Rui Wen
That's why I'm here to help Ionia, to stop the expansion of the empire, and to stop the growth of this threat. ”
Yes, Jeno came to help the disadvantaged Ionia, and not just because Oriana told him that he wanted world peace.
In order to contain the expansion of the threat, he did not allow Noxus to wage a large-scale war during Svein's reign, as this would fuel the power of the Calamity.
There are only three people in the world who know exactly what terrible secrets lie deep beneath the Immortal Fortress, and Jeno is one of them.
"Why are you talking about ghost stories, I don't understand them at all." Akali frowned and looked at Jeno with disgust.
What is a shadow, and what threat does a shadow bring, I don't make it clear, and the gods are babbling, and it's really underwhelming.
"You don't need to understand, I can only say that it is in the depths of the Immortal Fortress in the capital of the Empire, which is an area that you will never be able to reach in your life, you better think about how to defend the Presidian."
Jeno lay down as he spoke, his head tucked into the covers.
"But what if Ionia hits the Immortal Fortress?" Akali did not give up.
"Do you think it's possible? A lifetime collection? There was a sneering snort from the bed.
"Uh...... I don't think it's good, it's just a hypothesis. Akali thought about it carefully, with Ionia's military strength, it is estimated that they will not even be able to go to sea, after all, they don't even have a decent warship, and to step into the territory of Noxus is really no different from a fool's dream.
"If there is a peaceful day in Aino, maybe I can take you to the Immortal Fortress for a visit." The voice in the quilt slowly sank.
"Okay, don't regret what you said!" Akali happily agreed, but the sound of well-proportioned breathing could already be heard in the bed.
In the end, she still had insomnia because of overexcitement.
……
The ploughshare blade cuts through the hard soil on the surface of the earth, and turns over the earth's winter treasures under the spring sky.
Rui Wen held the plow rack and walked behind the ploughing ox on a small piece of farmland. She skillfully grasped the handle of the front beam, making the ploughshare blade turn over with the fragrance of the first awakening of the fertile soil, and also opened the memories that flew away
This is Daddy Conde's field, where Rui Wen has lived for more than ten years since the First World War, and it was Father Conde and his old wife Shawa who adopted her, and Rui Wen is now their goddaughter.
They didn't mind that Raven was a Noxian, and treated her like their own children, even if their real children died in the war.
Riven has to do a lot of farm work every day because she is guilty.
After the mystery of Elder Soma's death was solved, Raven was sentenced to life in prison as the culprit, and she had to come and go in the village every day to do hard work for the empty nesters who had died in the war, and it had been almost nine years now.
The intense farming didn't crush Rui Wen because she was a farmer before she joined the army, and she is still young and strong. can farm without having to lift the butcher knife, but it makes her feel very happy, because everyone slowly accepts her and gradually forgets her identity as a murderer and an imperial soldier, which is also the past she wants to abandon.
She is very satisfied with the present, this second home that she has hurt her, this new life of full simplicity for her, and makes up for the emotions she once lacked as an orphan.
In addition, she made a friend.
The person she was most ashamed of, Yasuo.
Yasuo is still wandering, wandering around, but he still doesn't forget to come back every year to see the injuries of things, and just a few words with Rui Wen, as if he came back to supervise the Rui Wen who killed his master, and Rui Wen, who had been hunted down by his master for many years, is undergoing a good labor camp.
But every time he came unprepared, he left unexpectedly, like an unruly wind, and he couldn't stay.
Rui Wen didn't bother with Yasuo, because he and she both had their own paths to follow, and the name of this path was Atonement.
The lean ox flipped its ears and dragged the plough forward. The ploughshare splashed a few pieces of gravel and hit Riven, but she didn't know it.
She wore a coarse cloth shirt with mud-stained sleeves rolled up into a large bundle, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin.
The pants of the same texture have been dyed an earthy yellow color and have become dry and hard. The shortened cuffs were too short for the original owner, but they swept just past her ankles and touched the mud-covered vamp.
She wiped the strands of sweaty hair from her brow with her sleeve, and the heat of the soil forced her to tie her short white hair into a ponytail, and the haphazardly cut hair brushed her lightly, her chin not slowing down.
Rivien's arms are so strong that she can hold the plow frame steady with one hand. The old farmer went home to get a water bag and lunch, and he said she could rest in the shade of the field and wait for him, but Rui Wen insisted on finishing the work.
But something is wrong in the distance, and she may not be able to finish her farm work.
Through the thin soles of her shoes, Rui Wen felt the ground tremble. There was a sound of rolling thunder in the distance, but there was not a single cloud in the sky.
Rui Wen turned her head and looked west along the hill, where a large number of cavalry emerged from the ridge, wearing the standard armor she knew so well, and were rushing towards the cultivated land where she was.
Rui Wen stopped suddenly, the handle of the plow in her hand slammed, and the leather reins strangled the skinny ploughing ox. The ploughshare hit a piece of earth, and the ploughshare was pinned by the stone, and there was a muffled sound.
She quickly removed her ploughshare from the plowshare, and in her hand the mud-stained knife ran towards the cavalry.
When the leader saw Raven, he raised his hand and made a gesture to let the cavalry regiment rein in their horses en masse, so for a moment the neighing of horses echoed throughout the field.
Rui Wen stopped in front of him, panting and secretly glad that he had finally not let the horse's hooves destroy the cultivated land behind him, and Father Conde lived on the crops grown in this land.
"Look up." A neutral voice came from overhead, pure Noxian official dialect.
Riven understood because she was originally from Noxus, and she also heard an inexplicable familiarity from the voice, which aroused obedience in the depths of her soul.
It was the voice of the command, and Riven had been a soldier before, so she reflexively did so.
Her gaze moved upwards from the horse's hooves, to the muscular body, to the handsome head of the horse, and finally to the officers on horseback.
It was an almost bald officer, who looked to be a little old, with a long-healed scar that had long since slashed diagonally from his scalp to his left eyebrow, his eyes were deep, the bridge of his nose was high, and his long-standing beard had turned old white, but the veteran's spirit was not at all old.
