Chapter 917: Debang Storm
After sending away the somewhat curious Fiona and Sylvana, Jax's martial arts hall welcomes a special guest.
Rod.
"Unbelievable." Seeing Rod again, Jax looked very surprised, "Your state is very different from before, it seems that you have improved." ”
"Sharp intuition." Rod nodded, acknowledging Jax's speculation, "This is also one of the reasons why I swaggered to appear in Demacia." ”
"I heard you were in trouble." Jax was a little surprised, "Then there was no news from you, I thought you were going to leave Demacia for a while, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly." ”
"You may be misunderstood." Rod blinked, "Whether it's 'trouble' or 'for a while'." ”
"But that doesn't matter anymore, does it?" Jax lightly touched the subject, "The only possibility of finding me is ...... You've got a problem with the Void—am I right? ”
"That's right."
"You had a conflict with that Darkspawn who went north?"
"That's true, too."
"You want to find a way to defeat him?"
"That's wrong—Aatrox is dead, dead in the truest sense of the word, and the magic sword has become a good weapon, but the soul has completely vanished."
Jax was stunned for a moment.
Is Aatrox dead?
In any case, Jax did not expect this to happen - killing a Darkspawn is not an easy task, they did lose the body of a Celestial warrior and are not in a good mental state, but after all, they were once only one step away from the gods, and it would be difficult for mortals to even try to harm them!
"You killed him?"
"Not me." Rhodes shook his head, "To be honest, I don't have the power to kill a Darkspawn yet—he died in the Void. ”
"The Void?"
"Yes, you may not know that in the far north, in Freljord, there is also the Void in action, and Aatrox shines with the brightest splendor of life when facing the Void, and he destroys the Void's watchers."
“……”
Although he couldn't see his expression with his mask, Rod could clearly feel Jax's surprise, and he suddenly got up, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped after two turns in place, and reached out in his arms to find it.
To Rod's surprise, Jax retrieved a hard-boiled egg, then slowly peeled open the shell, pulled a corner of the mask, and swallowed the whole egg in one gulp.
After a few quick chews on the hard-boiled egg in his mouth, Jax swallowed it straight and then burped contentedly.
"Hiccup—" Jax looked up as he reached out and touched his chest, "Much more comfortable." ”
For Jax's behavior of starting to eat eggs without saying a word, Rod looked confused.
What do you mean?
Did the Acacians express their surprise in this way?
Seeing Rod's stunnedness, Jax's tone was a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little surprised - you know I'm infected by the Void, so I have to keep my emotions in check, and there's nothing better way to calm myself than a hard-boiled egg......"
"Well, nothing." Rhodes expressed his understanding of Jax's behavior, "But I want to know, are you surprised by Aatrox's sacrifice, or the Void of Freljord in the North?" ”
"The Void." Jax didn't hesitate, "Aatrox is not a talkative Darkborn, I don't have any friendship with him, and to my surprise, the Void is watching over our world more than one place - which means that the situation is more critical than I thought, but my progress in Demacia is still very slow......"
"Don't be nervous." Looking at Jax's anxious appearance, Rhodes waved his hand and motioned for him to relax, "Actually, our situation is not so bad, the entrance to the Freljord Void has been sealed, the seal is quite strong, at least for hundreds of years, there is no need to worry about it." ”
"Really?" Jax's tone was filled with joy, "You mean that the Void of Freljord has been sealed, and that the seal can last for at least a hundred years?" ”
"Yes." Rhodes nodded, "The seal is Ionian, sturdy and reliable, and Empress Freljord has sent her own elite to maintain the seal. ”
"Can you tell me about it?" Jax spoke eagerly, "How the hell was the Void sealed?" ”
Facing the anxious Jax, Rhodes thought for a moment, and after organizing his own language, he briefly told about the seal—in which Rhodes did not involve the part of Freljord's unification war as much as possible, and only talked about the part related to the void, and the language was as concise as possible, and even so, he still spoke for more than an hour.
Finally, after Rhodes had spoken of the Ionians helping seal the Void, Jax let out a long sigh.
"It's okay, it's okay." Jax's tone was full of rejoicing, "It seems that the Freljords are more reliable than the Demacians—in Demacia, I've always heard that they are rude and savage, but now it seems that these people are ahead of Demacia when it comes to facing the void." ”
"So what's going on with Demacia right now?" Following Jax's words, Rhodes finally led the topic in the direction he was looking forward to, ", with all due respect, now the appearance of Demacia is not to say that they can deal with the Void, they even have a taste of their own insecurity. ”
“…… That's true. Jax sighed helplessly, "I thought things were too simple, the country of Demacia is not at all as bright as the outside world sees, I thought I could convince them in the name of justice, but I didn't expect it...... Alas—"
It seems that Jax's experience in Demacia does not seem to be very pleasant, and when it comes to this "upheld justice" country, Jax has a bit of a hard time to say.
"This is the state, after all." Rod shrugged, "If you have time, you can tell me about it - I'd also like to know what is going on in Demacia right now." ”
"Okay." Jax hesitated, but agreed to Rode, "Here's how it ......"
