The setting sun on the turquoise water of the river reflected the craggy castle on the cliff. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There will always be people who sigh at the power of human beings to transform nature, because no one could have predicted that such a magnificent building could be built on such a strange cliff.

The huge black granite was cut into extraordinarily flat pieces, and then stacked into a towering city wall that stretched for tens of miles according to certain proportions. Towers made of steel alloy loom out of the walls, and Gothic spires resemble knightly lances. And in the shadow of those towers, a building as wild as a giant beast. Countless windows are like black holes, countless entrances are intertwined, and countless flags flutter on the rooftops, and everyone seems to be in awe, because this building has transcended the realm of cognition, and it is a huge and majestic city.

Noxus, in the ancient language of Runeterra is the Hundred-Eyed Giant. And the hundred-eyed giant on this cliff is standing in the center of the Far East in Valoran, looking out over the entire land of runes.

"Cuirassa, cuirass! Five silver coins, take away the goods! ”

"Compound Potion! The potion stolen by the apprentice of the Great Apothecary! For half price, this basket is yours! ”

"Recruiting members of the traveling team, Freljord's half-year mission, a deed of sale for two hundred gold coins!"

The castle exposed above the cliff is only a corner of this majestic city, and it is the part that stretches from the top of the mountain to the depths of the earth under the cliff, which is the main body of Noxus. There was no sunlight all year round, and the dark, damp caverns were connected by intertwined tunnels, and people lived as humble as gommouses, their pale faces revealing a yearning for the sun and the upper world.

And this noisy place is the famous flea market on the 20th basement floor of Noxus. Taverns and mercenary camps dotted the caverns, and people spontaneously shouted around the low stone houses, hoping to trade for the day's rations.

"Stinger dagger! The best stinger dagger only costs ten gold coins, so you can take it! ”

Around the corner of the market, an old woman stopped two figures hurrying by, and among the handkerchiefs held in both hands, a short dagger made of brass glowed green.

"Get out of here!"

Walking behind was a high-ranking officer, who stepped forward and scolded the old man who didn't know what to do. His voice was loud and thunderous in the old man's ears.

"Ah, it's my lord......" Probably because of her bad eyes to stop these two people, the old woman heard the officer's voice, and lowered her head tremblingly, so frightened that she almost knelt on the ground.

"Nice dagger," said the petite figure at the head, who was wrapped in a purple gauze skirt. It seemed to be a girl's voice coming from under her veil, and her slender fingers pinched the dagger, and the green dagger roamed between her fingers, playing one trick after another, as if it had become a living snake, "It only sells for ten gold coins, and the market price is at least fifty." ”

"My lord, this is what my son has worked hard in the blacksmith shop for three months, if it weren't for the fact that he is sick in bed now......"

"I took this dagger, you can tell the guerrilla that she is suspected of stealing." The girl easily instructed the officer behind her, and walked briskly forward, bypassing the flea market.

"My lord! Dagger...... Dagger I ...... I gave you the dagger! But I really didn't steal it! When the old woman heard the girl's words, she collapsed to the ground like soft mud, but she could only watch helplessly at the vague back, and then she heard the sound of the ranger whistle hurrying forward.

The 20th basement floor belongs to the slums, and the Purple Yarn Girl didn't have a reason to come here in the first place. But what her teacher instructed her to do was obliged to make a trip to the slum herself.

"This is the territory of the Nether Legion!"

At the far end of the twenty basement floors, a Noxian legion is stationed. The empire is still in the army, and the army has priority in all aspects. As a result, the legion's garrison was also heavily guarded. The Purple Veil Girl and her entourage were stopped by the soldiers at the entrance to the legion.

"We're here to see the Legion." The entourage officer took out a military badge from his bosom and shook it at several soldiers.

"This?" The soldiers read the officer's badge clearly, it was a captain's badge. Although the captain's rank is not low, he has to meet the commander of the regiment with just a military badge, which makes the soldiers guarding the gate a little dilemma.

"You dog-eyed things, you know, this lord is ......" Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, the captain officer was also a little anxious, and his voice became high, but was stopped by the purple gauze girl waving her hand.

"My lord, it's not that we won't let you in, but if you want to see the legion leader, you must at least have other certificates or procedures......" The captain who was guarding the door stopped abruptly.

A red thread spread from his forehead, and like him were a dozen or so soldiers beside him. They looked at each other in some inexplicable terms, watching the red line on each other's foreheads gradually stretch, and then their expressions became terrified, and some even tried to scream, but as soon as their mouths opened, there was no more sound. Because their vocal cords, the Adam's apple, like their entire body, were cut in half under that red line.

Death.

Silent death came with the red line, and it turned out that the red line was their blood line, blood, internal organs, and bodies were completely cracked with the spread of the red line, blood splattered, internal organs were convex, and the bodies under these armors collapsed in the blood like soft mud.

"My lord......" The officer who was showing off his might was also frightened at this moment, he looked at the back of the purple yarn and spoke carefully.

"Let's go, I'll go back after seeing this army commander, the underground air is too bad." The girl's voice was as light and bright as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, yes. This way. Thinking that it was indeed the adult's student, the officer respectfully led the girl into the barracks and walked towards the innermost main building.

"You are?"

The Legion Commander, who was sitting in a chair in contemplation, turned around and saw the two people who appeared in front of him. As a platinum-level hero who had been born in the Land of Justice, he certainly felt the murderous aura looming in that girl.

"This is Lord Esther, but she's ......" The captain was still a little apprehensive in front of the commander of the regiment with the rank of major general, so he took the lead in introducing the hole cards in front of him.

"I know, you're a student of Master Caterina of the Ominous Blade, aren't you?" The legion commander looked at the girl in front of him and asked solemnly.

"Ryan, Major General, Captain of the Nether Legion, graduated from Noxus Military Academy, and served for twenty-four years, right?" This purple gauze girl named Esther did not directly answer the question of the corps commander, but asked directly.

"You're right, it's me." Ryan replied. Although the unit called the "Nether Legion" is actually just a second-line miscellaneous army stationed in the headquarters, Ryan is a serious major general, and he is also a platinum hero. At this moment, he put on the majesty of a general, and his momentum made the air around him become solemn, and the captain officer did not dare to look directly, and even turned his head to look at the other side.

"So, Legionnaire, you should know the news, right?" The masked purple-veiled girl seemed completely unaffected, her voice was brisk, and although she couldn't see her face clearly, her tone made people instinctively think she was laughing.

"You mean...... Will the strongest kings go in search of the Eternal Land, the news that war is imminent? As a corps commander at the rank of major general, Ryan also barely made it to the top of Noxus, and at a rally a few days ago, he certainly heard the emergency ****** of Noxus announced by Generalissimo Svein.

"So, that's what you're here for, right?" Ryan immediately understood the girl's intentions, "Did Lord Caterina send you to practice?" ”

"Experience? Hehe," the girl smiled playfully, "I guess that's how it can be understood." ”

"So, what do you need me to arrange? Is it a hunting mission to the nearby Warcraft Forest, or a raiding mission to the border? Our Nether Legion is only a second-tier legion, and we don't have any difficult tasks. Ryan frowned, and the girl's laughter was a little eerie, reminding him of the madman he had met on the battlefield before.

"You know what?" Esther took a step forward, "Maybe Lord Svein didn't say it at the mobilization meeting, all the strongest kings were advised to find their successors, and my teacher, Lord Katerina, of course, chose me as his successor......"

"A successor?" Ryan immediately understood the meaning of her words, as a character who would need to take on a great role in the righteous land in the future, and most likely become the strongest king, the girl's status was clearly beyond that of him, the leader of the second-tier legion. Although he couldn't pull his face down, Ryan still squeezed out a respectful smile and asked in honorifics, "So, my lord, what do you need me to do?" ”

"It's very simple," Esther said with a smile as she looked at the Legion Commander, who was already less than three paces away from her, and was dressed in plate armor, "Just give me your life." ”

Zisha moved slightly, and the dark green dagger was thrown out by her. The masked purple veil was slightly blown by the wind, revealing a face that was as delicate as a sculpture, cold but comparable to a statue.

"You!"

As a platinum player, Ryan's response to murderous energy is top-notch. When the girl said the last sentence, his body reacted instinctively, and as soon as he kicked the table in front of him, his body shot backwards like an arrow from a string.

But he didn't expect that the speed of the dagger was so fast that he only saw a green light, and then the dagger came to him. What's even more frightening is the girl's prediction. The final direction in which she threw the dagger was where Ryan was firing backwards, as if it had been carefully calculated, stabbed right into Ryan's face when his back hit the wall behind him.

But Ryan is a platinum-level hero!

As a platinum-level hero who has fought more than 100 battles in the Land of Justice, Ryan has changed direction in the air. His figure arced in the air, and with a deft flip, he catapulted towards the window. And in an instant, he used the skill of ghost speeding, white light enveloped his whole body, Ryan seemed to merge with the air, and the speed was a little faster, and the naked eye could only see a series of afterimages of him.

Ryan was fully sure that he would be able to escape through the window, and beyond the window, there were two hundred-man teams practicing in his military square. He thought to himself that even if this girl was a supreme master, the two centurians would be able to buy themselves a quarter of an hour, which would be enough for him to escape from the barracks. The two centurians reassured him that their loyalty and courage had been piled up by spending huge sums of gold.

"Stupid guy." Esther snorted, her fingers flicked, and the dagger that flew towards the wall in the air suddenly jumped high, and then shot at Ryan with an incomparable speed with Esther's gesture.

Because of the high-speed movement of the dagger, a series of popping sounds were heard in the air.

"Ahh

Ryan screamed, and was nailed to the floor with a dagger. The legion commander who was high above was like a catfish out of water at the moment, his limbs struggling violently, but bright red blood was gushing from his chest.

His eyes widened, and the last hint of frustration appeared on his face. What a stupid move, when he saw the dagger flying, he just thought the girl was an assassin. But as the Lord's successor, how could she be a simple assassin? You must know that Lord Ominous Blade, she is actually a mage. From the moment the girl decided to kill him, there was no way back. Of course, the mage can manipulate the dagger, and how stupid is the change of direction that he thinks he is proud of.

It's a pity that Ryan can't think anymore. His pupils dilated, and he died silently. Blood stained the floor red along the cracks in the armor, and the dagger's poison did not take effect until he died, and the wound on his chest that the dagger had sinked into was rotting at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"I was wrong." Esther, who walked over to Ryan's corpse, frowned, "This dagger is extremely rare poison, and the price should be more than two hundred gold coins." Carefully cut off his head, give it to the teacher, and I'll officially be the successor to the Ominous Blade. ”

Esther left the room without looking back, and the captain-officer looked at the girl's distant back, and was speechless with fear. Major General of the platinum rank, died like this? You must know that the platinum-level heroes in the Land of Justice are comparable to an army alone. That kind of omnipotent existence from heaven to earth actually died at the hands of a girl who claimed to be her successor? The captain shook his head and sat down in blood.
