Chapter 2: The Great Woman

In a time when humanity itself had almost forgotten about it, the continent, which was said to be the home of the gods, had one true master, and that was the elves. At that time, humans and orcs were just vassals of the elves.

It's just that a thousand years ago, everything was rewritten in just a few decades! Because of the low level of reproduction of highly intelligent creatures such as elves, the population has always remained at a sparse number. Humans, on the other hand, are highly reproductive, and in just a few hundred years, their populations have grown to a jaw-dropping level.

Eventually, humans and orcs joined forces to drive out the peace-loving elves who loved living in natural forests from the continent of Varojan. In the following thousand years, there has been very little elf race on the continent.

Rarely doesn't mean nothing, more than 130 years ago, the famous Duke of Noxus captured a young magnetic elf in the forest of Vortrent, and this rare elf was finally sent to the pillow of Alexander the Great.

Not only in Noxus, the Demacian Empire, Ionia and other countries have also found traces of elves. These nature's darlings love to live in dense primeval forests, they run like the wind, they are naturally handsome and beautiful, and many are proficient in magic and bow and arrow skills.

Anyone who passes through the forest can't help but recall the former lord of the continent, and now the rare plaything in the hands of humans - elves. The former has been almost completely forgotten by humanity, while the latter can be recalled almost without warning.

The Stambod Forest is a primeval forest, the age of which is indeniable, and it can be estimated from the towering trees that it has existed for at least a hundred years.

Augustus was not a literary and romantic bard, and occasionally recalled the legend that there were elves in the forests on the continent, and he only smiled. The elf creature went through his mind and immediately filtered it out, and at this moment his mind was full of thoughts about the raunchy edge in front of him. But the strength is unfathomable, what does the eccentric Guliglan want to take them for? They've gone very deep.

"It is said that two hundred years ago, someone found an elf in the forest of Stanbod, a beautiful female elf!" With a smile on his face along the way, Borwright was not nervous at all, and he was speaking to Tyrone, who had been calm and silent.

Tyrone muffled and left Borwette alone singing a one-man show. Borlight was not embarrassed or minded, her bearing was elegant, and she said very naturally: "In the end, this beautiful female elf was presented to the Emperor by Viscount Odin, and then she also became the queen of the Noxian Empire, the first elf queen. ”

"You're talking about the rise of Noxus to the glorious Queen Catherine??" In order not to embarrass Borlight. Augustus himself was a little curious, so he continued Borlet's words and asked.

"Yes, it's Queen Catherine!" At the mention of the name, Borlet, an easy-going but proud guy on the inside, spoke with a fierce respect on his face.

In the history of Noxus, there have always been a few women in Valoran history who can stand on top of men's heads and be worshiped by thousands of men. One of them is the sorcering queen LeBlan, the leader of the "Black Rose" who once dominated Noxus, and Queen Catherine, who came to the continent of Valoran from the far north of Valoran, crossed the vast glacier to the continent of Valoran.

This legendary woman after twenty years of accompanying Emperor Jupit. Appeared on the political stage of Noxus as a woman. Although he was not the Great of Noxus, his status as empress was even the brilliant Alexander the Great, who was already reigning at the time, was under the light of this legendary woman. Over the next fifty years, Catherine put Noxus, which had been weakened by blind warfare, on the right track.

"I'm not against aggression, but I don't want anyone to challenge my authority!" These were the words of Empress Catherine when she took her youngest son, who was only nine years old and later Alexander the Great, during a visit to a city in eastern Noxus.

Fifty years followed. One by one, the big men who openly and secretly challenged the authority of this legendary woman either disappeared from the warrant stage of Noxus or slept in their graves. It wasn't until the nobles who thought they were cunning disappeared one by one, and Noxus had only Catherine's voice, that everyone understood. This stunningly beautiful, weak-looking elf has quietly dominated Noxus.

Perhaps because of the peace-loving nature of the elves. Maybe for other reasons.

During Catherine's fifty years in power, Noxus fought only two wars. Both wars were just about defending the country. During Catherine's reign, Noxus did not invade an inch of land, nor was it invaded an inch of land. However, the country's strength is steadily improving.

The legendary woman has carved a profound label after the label of Noxian aggression: self-renewal! It is precisely because of the appearance of this woman that the comprehensive national strength of Noxus has risen rapidly in the past 50 years. Alexander the Great was able to wage numerous wars in just a few decades, shining the glory of Noxus throughout the continent of Valoran.

Two hundred to one hundred years, this is definitely the existence that everyone in Noxus is proud of. Even Borlet, a nobleman with eyes above the top, couldn't help but have a sense of admiration on his face when he mentioned the name of Queen Catherine.

"I have to admit that if it weren't for Catherine, Noxus's dream of 'Noxus is a star above the nine heavens and is destined to dominate the Valoran continent' is undoubtedly a fool's dream! A country full of aggression and no development will never be able to truly unify the continent of Valoran. Perhaps because he saw that Augustus and the others were talking about a topic that suited their hearts, Guliglan, who was walking in front, interjected.

Augustus smiled, and he very much agreed with Guliglan's words that a country full of aggression and no development ideas could never truly unify Valoran. He glanced at Guliglan, who was silently walking in front of him, not knowing where he was going to take them, and his heart suddenly felt relieved.

"It should be much more valuable to learn knightly skills from such a person than to stay in a comfortable war college!" ”

The group of four went deeper.

On the way, Augustus asked Borlet: "What happened to the last great Queen Catherine?" ”

Borwright was silent, and Guligaland, who was walking in front, turned around and showed a grim and sarcastic smile, and finally the thin black-haired young man Tyrone broke the strange atmosphere and said, "How is it?" Faced with a woman who has suppressed imperial power for fifty years, what do you say Alexander the Great will do?? ”

Without waiting for Augustus to let his imagination run wild, Tyrone continued: "Eventually, the beheaded woman was beheaded in a blood assassination by a blood relative, and Empress Catherine was in the Cathedral of Augustine, which is said to be one of the safest areas in Noxus. Subsequently, Alexander the Great took over the crown and power of Noxus from Catherine. ”

Augustus was silent for a moment.

Tyrone's mouth is no secret. It is precisely because of Catherine's mysterious death. Alexander the Great, who had a heroic record enough to become the greatest emperor of Noxus, ended up only ranking fourth among the emperors of Noxus.

Although the reason is not stated, almost everyone can guess that the incident was more or less inseparable from Alexander the Great.

"There is no family affection in front of power!" It was the first time that Augustus, who had heard this sentence, had such a profound feeling.

Before he knew it, Guliglan stopped.

The group of four made their way through the dense forest, climbed over the rugged paths, and finally came to a huge boulder that was about to rise. On the other side of the cliff is a cliff with no end covered by white mist, the sound of flowing water rumbles, and the white waterfall looks down from the opposite cliff, and the sound of the waterfall covers up all sounds.

Standing in front of this waterfall, a sense of insignificance hidden in the hearts of human beings suddenly arises.

Guliglan stood casually in front of the boulder, looking at the majestic waterfall, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and sighed: "It's been a long time since I've seen you, old friend!" ”

The boulder was smooth, and although Tyrone, Augustus, and Borlight knew that there was no danger in the place where they were standing, the sound of friction under their feet from walking made them tremble, and they subconsciously looked at the waterfall and retreated a few steps, where they were on the inside of the boulder.

No one wants to end their knightly career in this unknown place.

Raising their heads with pale faces, the three of them saw Guliglan with a smile on his face, and a sense of uneasiness arose.

Guliglan looked at the three of them with a smile and asked, "I ask you, what does a powerful knight need?" (To be continued.) )
