Chapter 20: The Enchantress
Suddenly realizing that it was not very polite to stare at a woman like this, especially since this woman was still the leader of the organization he was about to join, Darius quickly lowered his head, and put his right hand into a fist to his chest, bowing slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Enchantress."

"Look up, Darius."
Darius straightened up and shifted his gaze to her face, reminding himself not to be blinded by the seductive scent of his body.
The tricky enchantress looked at Darius quietly, and then opened her seductive red lips, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "The moment you saw me, I saw ** in your eyes, and doubts. I can understand that no normal male can be calm when he sees me, but why do you wonder? Tell me what you really think, Darius. β
Darius hesitated, feeling that he had no need to hide it, so he considered his words and replied, "Forgive me, Enchantress, though I am not sure, I still suspect that what I have seen of you is not real. β
A hint of surprise flashed in the Trickster Queen's moving eyes, "What a keen gaze, yes, what you see now is just one of my clones." β
Sure enough, it is worthy of being called a strong man who is called a tricky witch, this illusion is simply unassailable, if it weren't for the real eye, he would never have found some clues.
"You have given me a small surprise, Darius, and as a reward I give you the honor of seeing me in my true form."
A golden circle formed at the feet of the Enchantress, like a miniature altar, but there was no slightest spatial fluctuation, nor a brilliant magic aura, she didn't seem to even move, but Darius knew that the true body of the Enchantress, just like that, had descended.
For a substantial aura emanated from her body, just like the majesty that the Black Flame Priest had brought to all of them after his dragonization, and the vast and vigorous magic surged around her, and every book with magical power in this huge library seemed to come to life, cheering for the arrival of their king.
The moment her words fell, the real body took the place of the illusion, and he didn't even see how she did it, and she really appeared in front of Darius.
Amazing!
No wonder it's called a witch queen.
Darius involuntarily saluted her again, a gesture that should be done to the strong. She deserves the respect of Darius.
"Every member who joins Black Rose, I will talk to him (her) personally, because no matter how detailed the record of this person in the report is, and how strict the test is, what I believe most is my self-consciousness, because the report may be wrong, and the test can also be tricky, but a person's soul will not lie."
The Enchantress's words were pleasant, soft as if she were singing, and Darius's gaze met hers, and a tremor from the deepest part of his body made him feel like all his secrets had been revealed.
Soon, however, Darius regained his composure, and no one could see through all his secrets with his eyes alone, it was just an illusion under pressure.
The Enchantress picked up her staff studded with pink crystals and pointed upward, "Tell me, Darius, what's on our heads?" β
Head? Apparently she wasn't referring to the dome of the castle, and Darius thought for a moment, "It's Noxus, my lord." β
"So tell me, what kind of place is Noxus in your eyes? Don't be perfunctory to me, I can tell if your words are sincere, and don't tell me what you know from others about this place, I want to know what you really think in your heart, how you really feel in your heart. β
The real idea?
Darius's mind flashed through everything he had experienced here, his own, his original owner, and the experience of another world, from the dark slums, to the rich and stable country where he once lived, to the garrison, to the Jungle Watchman, and he found that he had never used words and language to make a systematic evaluation of this country.
He kept recalling the bits and pieces of this place, brewing his own words in silence, and the trickster watched him fall into silence with great graciude, and did not say anything to interrupt his thoughts.
After a long time, Darius finally spoke slowly: "It seems to me, Noxus, this is a deformed country, a crazy patient, a fool who goes to the abyss. β
"Oh?" The Enchantress glanced at Darius in bewilderment, for she knew that the young man was not deliberately alarmist, and that what he was saying was indeed what he really felt. "You're really interesting, Darius, I've seen countless philosophers, sagemen, and sages, and I've heard countless evaluations and judgments about this kingdom, and your answer still surprises me, and I know that you really think so, can you tell me why?"
"Because the military is in power, it will never be a good thing for a country." Darius's mind flashed a series of words such as Na~Pure, Militaristic~Ism. "Military men are only suitable for taking power when a country is first established, and then they have to withdraw from the political arena, which is the only way for a society to develop normally, but Noxus does not, General Darkwell and the High Command have held the power of the country for too long, so long that they have gone from being the administrators of the country to being a cancer parasitic on the top of power."
"Although I hate the Demacians, I have to say that for the people, the imperial rule of the Gwangshield family is definitely much better than the military government of Noxus."
"I didn't expect to hear that from a soldier." The Enchantress's tone was palpable with approval, "Go on, Darius, why would you be optimistic about Demacia's way of rule?" So the paper report is far less than a face-to-face conversation with us, and the information they gave me said that you are not educated, but your knowledge is far from what an ordinary soldier can have, and even those educated fools can say these things. β
Darius no longer had any scruples in his heart, he straightened his waist, and firmly met the gaze of the tricky enchantress, without the slightest dodge: "The basis of military power is the army, so all the resources of this country are given priority to the army, our government, law, social order, all this is a joke in front of the army, the power of the generals is not curbed at all, everyone wants to constantly launch wars to consolidate the power in their hands, and foreign wars cover up the contradictions in society, But successive wars have been eroding the country's foundations, and it is an increasingly dangerous vicious circle. β
"The progress of society can only depend on the progress of the productive forces, not on endless foreign wars, and the polarization of this country is too serious, like the upper and lower towns of the city-state of Noxus, where the sun does not shine, there is endless poverty and darkness, and the people are wailing in pain, but the nobles and generals who hold power do not see this at all. So this kingdom is a mad patient, a fool who goes to the abyss. β
This is Darius's impression of Noxus, coming here from a rich and peaceful country, he knows very well how militarism can cause a country, especially the leader of this country, a soldier who has lived for an unknown amount of time, and does not know how long he will live.
Absolute power leads to absolute**, this phrase is universal in any world.
The Enchantress sighed, not knowing if it was for the Black Rose or Noxus.
"I'm going to ask every member of Black Rose that's this question, but do you know why I'm asking this?"
Darius shook his head suspiciously, not because the question was difficult, but because there were so many answers to this question that Darius didn't know which one to answer.
The tricky enchantress raised her head and looked at it with a deep gaze, her intellectual face full of vicissitudes that did not fit her age.
"Because before Darkwell came to power, the ruler of this kingdom."
"That's usβBlack Rose."
