Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have lost themselves in power – and conversely, there have been those who have been dismissive of power, or even unaware of its meaning.

Sivir is one such person.

The special experience has made Sivir's perception of power skewed, coupled with a subtle rebellion, whether you say that she sits in the well and watches the sky, or short-sighted, in short, Sivir has always had a clear aversion to power.

As for the benefits of power...... The power can be given to me, and I can earn it with my own hands!

Rhodes saw this situation very clearly - maybe if it weren't for Lothar, he would have had a similar mentality to Sivir, but Rod who has experienced too much knows the meaning of power and responsibility better than anyone else, and since Sivir is willing to rebel, Rod is too lazy to reason with her.

Directly let you die to a desperate situation, let you see what power means!

In this way, Sivir was blocked in the flea market by the Noxians without the help of Rhodes.

Although Sivir was still counting on a final battle of trapped beasts, alas, the Noxians were not given a chance.

When the flames rose into the sky, Sivir couldn't describe her mood at this moment - it was clear that the Noxians were not very strong, and she could clearly feel that many people were not even as good as the sand thieves.

But the team of those sand thieves would have been defeated and collapsed a long time ago by doing this, and even if they hadn't collapsed, they were now waiting for an opportunity to destroy them in the dark, and the sand thieves were trembling in the light.

But things turned out to be completely reversed in Noxus......

The threat of life could not pry open the sentinel's mouth, and the weighing of pros and cons would not discourage the idea of fighting back, and for the first time, the Noxians showed Sivir what was a complete whole.

Why did things get to this point?

Sivir wants to say that it's because he's not strong enough - but in reality, Sivir is already a very powerful presence for Noxians!

"Don't you get it yet?" When Sivir and Little Thumb were already on the verge of despair in the thick smoke, Rhodes finally appeared, "Those Noxians you despise are invincible because they fought side by side. ”

"Phew-" Sivir spat and grinned at Rod, "don't tell me these big things, I don't believe that Noxians are not afraid of death!" ”

"No one is not afraid of death." Rhodes shook his head, "But there are many things that are more terrible than death - death can make you lose a lot, but sometimes, rejecting death will only make you go more." ”

"You-ahem-ahem......"

Sivir wanted to argue, but she couldn't help coughing with a puff of smoke, and Rhodes shook his head and led her out of the fire.

……………………

Outside the city of Uzeris, on the coast.

"Still unwilling to admit it?" Rod let go of Sivir, who was already about to be choked, "You almost died from the people you despise, the power you despise. ”

“……”

Sivir didn't seem to have time to talk to Rhodes, just gulping down some fresh air—but Rhodes knew that she was thinking, thinking of a theory to refute herself.

It's a pity that Sivir thought for a few minutes, but he was a little depressed.

In the face of the facts, there is no point in quibbling - he did almost die at the hands of the Noxians, and at the hands of a group of not very powerful Noxians, who worked together to show a great power that they had never seen before, and there seemed to be an invisible link that united all the Noxians, and this unity made him powerless and almost died in the fire.

"It is not my intention to comment on your past." Looking at Sivir, who seemed to have been drained of his soul, Rhodes shook his head, handed over a bottle of magic spring water, and handed the other bottle to Little Thumb by the way, "If a person lives and wants to be himself better, then it is inevitable to change the environment and change the people around him...... But no one can live in their own world and think of the world as they imagine it is. ”

“……”

Sivir raised an eyebrow, feeling an inexplicable irony.

"It doesn't make a difference if someone who has experienced betrayal has a hard time trusting others, but it doesn't make a difference if you use it to lure them in with profit or force to force them, but it's always necessary."

"You don't have to teach that." Sivir spoke in a thick voice, "I know very well. ”

"That'...... Why are you reluctant to accept your own bloodline? Rod finally revealed his fundamental purpose, "I don't like to engage in blood, but the resources are here, and deliberately ignoring it is not Qinggao, but stupidity." ”

“…… That's not mine. Sivir hesitated for a moment, and then said something in his heart, "This power, this status does not belong to me in essence, and I know this very well - I am not an immortal emperor, I am just a mercenary who has lost his surname, Sivir." ”

"No one is an emperor in the first place." Rod smiled, "Bloodline is not a 'how to be' for you, but it provides you with a new option, if you want to do something that is easier to succeed in doing as an emperor...... So why are you rejecting this identity? ”

“……”

Or ...... Wouldn't this be a deal? ”

"It's different." Sivir reluctantly insisted, "The deal is a matter of money and goods......

"And you're afraid that you'll fall in love with Shurima because of your status as emperor, and like that stupid thumbs-up, you'll end up losing yourself?"

“……”

Rod's words finally broke through the layers of defenses and pierced the deepest wound in Sivir's heart, and this sentence directly made her fall silent.

And on the side, although Little Thumb didn't know what Rod was talking to Sivir, he still understood what Rod said that his father was "stupid".

Little Thumb thought about it, and carefully but with all his strength, he stepped on Rod's foot.

Well, you saved me, but you can't speak ill of Daddy!

was stepped on by the little thumb, Rod did not get angry, but laughed out loud for the first time - and on the other side, in the midst of Rode's victorious laughter, Sivir finally couldn't hold back for a moment and silently lowered his head.

The sea breeze is blowing, and the children's words are unscrupulous.

"Big sister, why are you crying?"

"That's a smoky ......"

"But now there's no smoke?"

"Shut up—"

“……”

“……”

Rod wisely avoided it—he felt that Sivir needed a little time to educate his brother, and ...... Bear children do need to be educated.

Really, really not because I was stepped on.
