The scene returns to Noxus, and the time is the early morning of the second day after Zhao Xin and Xiu left Greenston.

Last night's turmoil woke all the residents of Grimston from their slumber, and when they opened their hazy sleepy eyes, they were greeted by the bright moonlight...... Or something like the bright moonlight, under which everything but themselves melted little by little, and when they were terrified and overwhelmed, the light came to an abrupt end as if it had never been there, leaving them in ruins.

The military quickly intervened, their plans had been shattered by the unknown force, and there was no point in looking any further, last night, the residents of Greenston saw the fastest movement of the military they had ever seen, the soldiers in charge of evacuation and disposal seemed to have slept on the streets before, some of them had even left their beds, the soldiers had already entered their homes, and the magicians had already begun the restoration of the city, although the efficiency of these low-level magicians was too low...... But given the current situation, something is better than nothing.

So seeing an entire city destroyed, didn't Noxus have any response? Of course they did, but before the military could start investigating, a reasonable group appeared-yes, it was Black Rose, and they didn't hesitate to admit that they were all responsible, and tonight's Noxus military's actions were almost tantamount to declaring war on them, Love? One? Root? Read? The novel m.ybdu.Lan has no reason to shirk, not to mention that admitting this matter shows his strength in disguise, and for the statement of the black rose, the Noxus military can only choose to swallow their anger, this operation they dispatched almost all the troops in the entire city, and they got a return gift that the entire city was almost destroyed, whether this is really the black rose or not, the weight of the other party's gift is very appropriate.

The military's plan was a complete failure, and Black Rose sneered at its opponent with only one storefront, which was the result of the forces standing at the apex of Noxus last night, this defeat was certainly unacceptable for the military, but considering that most of their magicians had already left with Lalivash, and Black Rose's strength had not weakened in the slightest, they wisely chose to shut up.

Who used last night's horrible magic? Both sides were thinking about this, and for some experienced magicians, they could immediately recognize that the caster was using light-path magic, which was incredibly powerful, but needed to be supported by extremely powerful magic, and the most famous user of light-path magic today was King Gavin II of Demacia himself, but ...... Could he have come here to do such a thing......? No one would believe such a ridiculous thing, and having said that, the giants of Noxus did not dare to be careless and prepared to deal with this dangerous opponent.

Just when Noxus was in a state of confusion, Xiu, as a spellcaster, had no feeling about it, after teleporting out of Greenston, they spent the night in a fairly secluded grove outside the city, and with a little magic of Xiu, Direk slept well last night, at least for him, he didn't fully understand what happened last night, because the mission was done well, so the military wanted to invite him to join? On the surface, it may seem like this, but for the other two, there is a deeper reason for this, and as to what Diric stole from him, Xiu gives the answer.

This crystal is called the Tears of the Goddess, it is a mysterious treasure belonging to Ionia, it is said that when no continent was destroyed by the war, Ionia suffered from a drought, and the pious people prayed to the goddess of life they believed in, and the goddess gave them this tearful crystal, the person who holds this crystal seems to have infinite magic in his body, he relies on this magical gift, with the power of one person to irrigate all the land of Ionia, of course, the goddess will not let the ill-intentioned people use this gift, Unless it has the secret words taught by the goddess, the crystal will only slightly enhance the magic of the bearer, and its true power will only be revealed to those who are qualified.

Since it is the secret treasure of Ionia, why does the Order know so clearly? One of the reasons has to do with his master, Reginald seems to have some kind of special friendship with Ionia, which is related to his experience in his youth, and secondly, when the continent inhabited by the Ionians was destroyed, they who had the most gifts also lost the most treasures, some of which were too powerful were recovered by the goddess, while the rest fell into the hands of other nations, even Demacia, who proclaimed justice and virtue, they only returned part of it, and there are still several powerful treasures in the treasuryAs a disciple of Reginald, Xiu had a certain understanding of these things, and although he had repeatedly advised his father and grandfather to return them, Xiu would not do such things again after they ended the conversation with various clever excuses.

What do Noxians want this kind of thing for? With the exception of a few Ionians, no one knew what the Secret Word was, and they probably didn't even know that it was there, so they simply wanted to add to the collection in the treasury, so they didn't hesitate to use it?

This is not known, Xiu will not let the Noxians do such a thing, he will give this crystal back to the hands of his master, Reginald, and let him decide what to do.

The topic comes back to this mission.

"Whew...... Hmmm......"

The dew condensed on the blades of grass had not yet dried, and it was still early in the morning, and after a good night's sleep, Diric still woke up very early, this was already his habit, and if he wanted to mix some fame in the black rose, he must have the corresponding strength, and in order to do this, he must not be the slightest lazy in exercise.

Where is it...... Direk looked around a little confused, as if this was not his small bedroom...... By the way, it seems that something happened last night, that's why I slept here, the one who saved me...... Diric still looked around with some sleepiness, but the scene that appeared in front of him startled him, Xiu and Zhao Xin were sitting cross-legged on the side, their bodies were already covered with dew, and they seemed to be completely unaffected by this, this ...... Is this the meditation of a magician...... after all, he is still a child, Diric, who saw this picture for the first time, couldn't help but be a little curious, he stood up and walked in front of the two, did the person who saved him look only a few years older than himself...... I really want to have such a strong strength as him...... the person sitting next to him looks older, the corners of his mouth always seem to be smiling, and his soft face inexplicably reveals some tenderness, Direk leaned down and looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but want to touch him with his hand.

"Good morning, your name is Diric, right? Nice to see you. ”

Before he could touch him, Xiu opened his eyes as if he already knew, and Diric, who was startled by him, sat down on the ground at once, he wouldn't know that while he was resting, the two of them only rested physically, but mentally talked for almost the whole night.

What did Zhao Xin do last night? Xiu didn't ask much, even if so many things happened, Xiu still didn't have any doubts about him, on the contrary, after finding out that Zhao Xin's attitude towards this little boy was very special, he carefully tried not to mention these, in the face of the prince's almost unconditional trust, Zhao Xin's heart became more guilty, he didn't want Xiu to know that he had doubts about everything in the past, but he didn't want to face the gentle prince with such loyalty, under the contradiction, he could only choose to tell Xiu about Diric's relationship with himself, And after knowing all this, Xiu's expression changed a little for the first time, and he was right...... No matter how gentle he was, he was still the prince of Demacia after all, and after realizing that his guards had such thoughts, he would inevitably be a little suspicious......

"I want to ...... Let's go to your house...... I mean your real home, although Demacia is where you grew up...... But...... Nor can it be called 'home'. ”

This is the answer given by Xiu, when he heard such an answer, Zhao Xin almost thought that he had heard it wrong, but Xiu just smiled: "At least in my opinion, a qualified king must consider each of his people, of course, I also know that it is not very realistic to do this, but as long as you work hard, it is better than standing still, isn't it?" ”

This is the great prince of Demacia, Xiu, who is too merciful to manage the whole country, but this gentleness is enough to make the people bow down to him, since he came to Noxus, he has been worried about whether Zhao Xin will miss his hometown, at least in his opinion, there is nothing doubtful about it.

"Morning ...... Good morning! I'm glad to meet you too! ”

In the face of someone stronger than himself, Diric immediately subconsciously lowered his position, Xiu just smiled, he didn't make any moves, the dew on his body was instantly evaporated, after stretching his body a little, he smiled and said to Diric: "Go wash your face, it's still early, we shouldn't be discovered, if you move fast enough, we should be in time for a hot breakfast." ”

"Breakfast? Sorry sir...... Are you saying we're going to buy breakfast? I don't quite understand what you mean. "I'm still a little sleepy, but Direk knows this, ...... a steaming breakfast? They were targeted by the military last night, and if they returned to the city now, it would definitely be unnecessary trouble, no matter how strong he was, but was it really wise to do so?

"Sorry I didn't make it clear, but the next place we're going to is Ethern."
