Chapter 14: Reunion after a long absence
I can't describe how I'm feeling right now, Levo is immortal, and people even think that Galio is his incarnation, but I know that Levo is dead, literally dead.
"Do you know Levo?"
This is、Lux's voice!
I jerked my head and saw a girl in a white gown, with long blond hair tied behind her head, white skin rarely seen in the world, but a few slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes, a similar voice and a similar appearance, but much older than Lux.
"I don't know, I just admire the heroes of Demacia."
"Oh? You're an Ionian, I've never seen an Ionian here, and I thought you knew him when I saw you staring at Levo's name. ”
Because the Ionian's black hair was so conspicuous, I bought a hoodie after entering the city, and this time she saw my face clearly, and I was a little panicked when I met her gaze, she was so much like Lux!
"I've traveled all over the world, and every time I go in the memorial hall, I pay my respects, this young lady, is Levo your relative?"
"He is my friend, a brave man, who led the charge ten years ago in our resistance to the invasion of Noxus, and then transformed into the Colossus of Justice to protect Demacia, and is our hero! I was going to wait for him to come back and teach him how to dance, but ......," she said, tears streaming into her eyes.
Ten years ago?! I'm suddenly a little confused, it's been ten years since that war? Thinking of what I saw and heard along the way and what Darius called "old things", I suddenly felt a sense of loss......
In this way, I didn't come back to life immediately after I died as Levo, but traveled to ten years later and became Zhao Xin, it turns out that time confusion can also occur in the same world, so the person in front of me is Lux!
"I'm sorry, pull...... Miss, it reminds you of your sadness. "I almost slipped out.
"No need to apologize, Ionia has also been invaded by Noxus, and I think we share the same grief."
Ionia was also invaded during this time? It seems that a lot has happened in the past ten years, and we were silent for a while, in front of the stone monument, when a familiar voice came.
"Madame Dali, you are here again, and I am very grateful to see you every year on the festival day."
It's Fiona's voice!
It turned out that today was the 10th anniversary of the war, and my body suddenly became stiff, and it took a lot of effort to turn around.
Finally saw the person who thought about it day and night, she was still wearing a simple training uniform, her figure was still proud, her face and hairstyle had not changed a little, as if she had been forgotten by the years, and she was holding a few bouquets of flowers in her hand, which was very similar to the scene in that dream.
Like snow meets the sun, my stiff body quickly eased, my thoughts surged like a wave, how I wanted to hug her tightly, how I wanted to say out loud that I was back!
But at this time I just stood quietly and looked at her, until she noticed me:
"Is this Ionian your friend?"
"No, we ran into each other by chance."
"Oh, don't be sad for him, it's been so long, and it's his honor to die for Demacia, we should all be happy for him."
"He didn't die in battle! He's just become the Colossus of Justice! Lux yelled, but then realized that she was too excited: "I'm sorry Fiona-sama, I'm a little offended, then I'll go back first, you and your brother can be alone for a while." ”
"Slow down Mrs. Dalí."
Only then did I notice that it turned out that Lux had become the wife of the Dali family, too, after all, it had been ten years, and the crown guard family and the Dali family were also a good match.
As for Lux calling Fiona an adult, it seems that she is already in a high position.
Fiona placed the flowers in front of the stone monument, closed her eyes and was silent, and after a while two tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but soon she wiped them away with her hands, and just now she was still persuading others, it turned out that she was doing the same.
It seems that some feelings do not disappear with the passage of time, and sometimes, they become stronger.
"Forgive me for my rudeness, Lord Fiona, I heard that you are a master of swordsmanship here, although it is not appropriate to say it here, but can you please teach me?"
I suddenly thought of a way to get close to her, and as expected, Fiona would not back down in the face of any challenge: "Come with me to my sword fighting hall." ”
I called up Darius and went to Laurent's mansion, and I was surprised to see his expression, as if to wonder why I, an Ionian, knew Demacia so well.
He had asked Tamm, but he had only told him that I had someone in mind, and that now he should know who I was missing.
When I saw the door of Laurent's house, I felt the most panicked.
I could clearly feel my heart pounding, in my memory, not so long ago, I was here and Fiona day and night, and now, I am a stranger, and Fiona feels strange to see me stop.
"To pay tribute to the Laurent family." I explain it this way.
Everything was so familiar here that I almost went wrong: Fiona led us into the house and went straight to the right, but I unconsciously went to the left, because I knew that the fighting hall was on the left.
When I realized something was wrong and turned around, Fiona stared at me tightly, "How do you know that the sword fighting hall is over there?" ”
"I ...... I think the light is better over there, so it should be more spacious. "I came up with a very far-fetched reason.
"Yes, you're smart, but don't walk around, wait for me here, I'll change my clothes."
Soon Fiona came out in a sword suit, a tough tightsuit made of a very particular material that maximizes flexibility and protects the body from serious injuries.
When she first trained, she had been wearing simple training clothes, and asked me to wear this kind of protective clothes, but this time she changed into it herself, and she must have seen my strength.
Then I suddenly remembered what she had said: Defeat her and you will get the opportunity to associate with her! Before, I was still Levo, and even if I won, it won't work, but now it's different! I have a good calculation in my heart.
I know that Fiona is very strong, but that is only at the level of swordsmanship, and now I have been tempered by the army and tempered by life and death in the gladiatorial arena several times, and I have learned a lot of skills from five teachers in the training ground of Tamu, and it is not difficult to defeat her.
I heard that outsiders came to challenge Fiona, and the people of the Laurent family came to watch the battle in the sword arena, and I also saw Nora, who used to serve me, was a lively and cheerful girl when they were separated, and now she has become a stable girl, but I didn't see Novia.
I'm not going to use all my strength, I'm going to test it first, if I can beat her, I'll pretend to be a draw, if I can't beat her, I'll consume it, no matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, I'm afraid of the consumption of power, and I'm quite confident in my own strength.
After the actual fight, I realized that Fiona's ability is far more than I remembered, her strength is indeed not as good as mine, but the speed is much faster!
Her speed is not the same as that of the trainer in the training ground, the trainer is fast as a person, while Fiona is fast, you see she is motionless in place, but she has actually stabbed several swords.
The most terrifying thing is that these sword moves are not only fast, but also extremely accurate, and the control of distance is not bad, her whole person is like a dancer in a banquet, every move is pleasing to the eye, a perfect interpretation of what is "precise and elegant".
It seems that she was just practicing with me before, and now what she shows is the real strength, thinking about it at the beginning, I didn't want to use all my strength at the beginning, it's really funny, and with the thin sword in my hand out of my hand, I was defeated.
Everyone around her was cheering for Fiona, but she was not happy: "Do you look down on me?" Offered to compete with me, but wouldn't give it your all, damn it! ”
"Forgive my faux pas, I don't despise you, I'm just not used to using this kind of sword, and if you give me a spear, I don't think you will be disappointed."
This is my excuse and fact, I didn't expect to lose so quickly, and I can't help but feel ashamed of the idea just now, but since I fell into the gladiatorial arena, I have indeed been using a steel spear, and now I suddenly change to this kind of rapette, and the move cannot be adapted.
Moreover, Laurent's sword was so light that I didn't feel anything in my hand, as if I was holding it with my bare hands, and my thoughts didn't calm down, so I guess I was caught off guard.
"Then this is not a victory, originally I would not have fought with people other than swordsmanship, but for the glory of the Laurent family, let's start again!"
Just what the doctor ordered! I don't want it to end so soon, since she thinks it's unfair, it's time to have a new one! I calmed down and focused on the next race.
