Chapter 1: Suffering
Pain, boundless pain
When Su Yun woke up from a coma, he only had such a consciousness.
Boundless pain overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and a strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of rotting flesh reached his nerve centers, causing him to groan. When he opened his eyes, he found that they were a patch of blood red, and it turned out that the blood had confused his eyes.
He breathed hard, he felt his body carefully, and found that although there were many pains on his body, they were all skin injuries, and there was nothing to hurt the muscles and bones, although these skin injuries were difficult, but they would not be fatal, with his ability to recover, this kind of injury could be recovered after a period of rest.
However, he had to understand the current situation first, he clearly remembered that he had been wrapped in a shadow and escaped from the forbidden place of the Balance Sect, and then he only heard the instructions given by the space to complete the task, as well as a few warnings, and then he lost consciousness.
What happened after that was a complete blank for him, and he tried to turn on his ability to rewind time and space, only to find that he couldn't sense the previous time node, which meant that it had been more than a day since his last time node. This also meant that he couldn't know exactly how much time he had experienced, and he tried to establish a point in time with his abilities, only to find that none of his natural abilities could be used.
This fright made him break out in a cold sweat, the reason why he is comfortable with everything, a lot of it depends on this natural ability, and now that this ability has been sealed, he is equivalent to returning to that incompetent urban otaku again. Without natural ability, he is just a waste wood who can't even pass the trial task!
But now he has no way to get any information from the outside world, and the closure of the Doom Mark has deprived him of many sources of information, such as his own physical condition.
Calming down, Su Yun gradually felt the strangeness of the environment, this didn't seem to be an ordinary place, the ground, it seemed, was shaking gently, if he had any feelings, then, he seemed to be on a boat!
So whose ship is it this time?
Just as he was thinking, he heard the door open, and a man walked in.
"Hello, little friend." Su Yun seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, "Last time after saying goodbye to the abyss of corruption, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." β
Su Yun realized who the man in front of him was, this was Svein, last time he ruined Svein's good deeds in the abyss of corruption, and let him lose his subordinates in vain, presumably now Svein should hate himself very much, it is estimated that these skin injuries on his body are caused by Svein.
"What do you want to do?" Su Yun asked.
"Hehe, Xiaoyou is really hard-hitting, I was thrown into the whirlpool of depravity in the abyss of corruption, and it is not easy to be transported to the Forbidden Demon Domain to survive. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, my soldiers of Noxus died in a foreign land, it is their glory and mission, and it is not worthy of our revenge. β
"Hmph, then you still beat me like this." Su Yun said disdainfully.
"No, no, no, little friend, you misunderstood." Svi's treacherous and hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "If I do it, I'm afraid that Xiaoyou's body is already unsound, and when you were sent to me, you were already injured like this." β
"Who sent me to you?" Su Yun almost roared and asked, he couldn't figure out who had the means to plot against him.
"Oh, that's a little girl, very good-looking, to be precise, a very beautiful little girl, she gave you to me, in exchange, I gave her something, I think you should know that little girl, you are all people sent by the Super Divine Academy to the Equilibrium Sect to find out the news."
"Yes, Elani?" Su Yun squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered to take a delicate face, the woman with a sophisticated plan.
"Oh, Master Carlos remembers, that's right, it's her, I don't know what she's going to do, anyway, she asked me for a very high-grade disguise magic scroll, I also got it from LeBlanc a few years ago, this disguise magic can almost deceive the gods."
Su Yun closed his eyes, if he was not mistaken, Elani should have asked for this magic scroll and went to Soraka to receive her own mission rewards, including the diamond stardust that symbolizes the inheritance of the stars' magic!
Thinking of this, Su Yun took a deep breath, he was finally plotted by this woman, after he faced the punishment of the plane and broke the spatial link, she pushed him behind his back again, he was now naked, everything was searched, including the burning gem, unbound equipment such as the Ascension Talisman. After Elani disguises herself into him, she can do a lot of things, including all the bad things!
"Sure enough, it's a goose plucking." Su Yun smiled bitterly.
"Young and vigorous, it's normal to be deceived by women, if you reach my age and abandon most of your chaotic desires, you can probably become the most feared strategist!" Svein smiled hoarsely.
"Tell me, what are you going to do when you swap me out of Elani's hands?"
Svein squatted down in front of him and said coldly, "I would never trade at a loss, that transfiguration scroll is worth at least ten magic gold coins, and I will use it to exchange you for you to play a role." β
"Oh, let's hear it." Su Yun pretended to be calm, he knew that he must not be caught by the enemy at this time.
"I have always had a lot of respect for the enemies who have defeated me, because there are really not many people in this world who can defeat me in terms of intellect, you are one, and LeBlan, who retired five years ago, is another. Just like I let LeBlanc last time, I can leave you with a chance to live this time, of course, after you've played your worth. Svein said coldly.
The LeBlanc he refers to is also a well-known figure in the Land of Runeterra, known as the Enchantress of Trickery, who was formerly the leader of the Black Rose, the largest organization in Noxus.
"Then what role can I play, I'm not LeBlanc, what value can I have, my magic skills are not even as good as an apprentice." Su Yun replied, this LeBlanc Su Yun who said it three times and twice in Svein's mouth also knew that LeBlanc was the leader of the underground organization in Noxus, known as the existence of the Sorcering Queen, who controlled the largest unofficial organization in Noxus, the "Black Rose".
Svein raised his palm, and a light lit up Su Yun's eyes, and then Su Yun felt that his eyes were bright again.
Su Yun glanced at Svein a few times, tried to move his body, and then whispered thank you.
Svein sat down on the ground in front of Su Yun like this, and propped his dry hands on his chin: "I'll tell you my story first, and the story of the entire Noxus in recent decades." β
There was a hint of remembrance in Svein's somewhat cloudy eyes: "It was when I was very young, I was born into a Noxian magical aristocracy, I inherited all my father's strategic planning, and I became a member of the official organization of Noxus at that time, 'Black Rose'. At that time, the 'Black Rose' was like the current balanced sect, full of thriving atmosphere, and I was quickly appreciated and promoted there as a young and talented person. β
"At that time, among my peers, the most outstanding young people were me and LeBlanc, the future leader of the Black Rose, who would inevitably be chosen from the two of us, and the competition between me and her had already begun at that time."
"My strategy has always been that of upright and upright scheming, overwhelming the other party with positive wisdom and penetrating everything with my own wisdom. LeBlanc, on the other hand, is more conspiracy-oriented, and she likes to play with people's hearts, defeating her opponents with deception and misdirection. The two of us have opposing philosophies, but neither can help the other, and every time we fight, we are just evenly divided, until the final showdown begins. β
"Since there can only be one person in the future leader of the Black Rose, we inevitably have a fateful duel, but the Enchantress has been on my guard from the beginning, she hid her best disguise, and in that duel, I lost to her supernatural disguise."
"In Noxus, the fate of the loser is death, and I don't complain, because I was mentally prepared before the duel with LeBlanc, and if she lost, she would end up even more miserable than me. As the son of a nobleman, I was given a glimmer of life in the organization, and I was sent to the Bloody Blade Camp on the front line, where I fought until my death. β
"None of the people who were assigned to the Bloodblade Camp could survive more than three years except for those who defected to the enemy and treason, and that was the most cruel place in the Nocasas Camp, and the most dangerous tasks, even the missions to death, were completed by the Bloodblade Battalion. Wherever I go, it is equivalent to welcoming the embrace of death, of course, if I defect to the enemy and treason, it will be even more in the hands of my opponents, in Noxus, collaborating with the enemy and treason is to be linked, once my side betrays, my whole family is finished. β
"So I could only endure, I was on the verge of death again and again, and in the process, I learned to be forbearant and deceitful, and I began to reflect on my previous stupidity, and began to try to use conspiracy, to use all the means that I had disdained to use before. Eventually, I was assigned to Darius's men, and I encouraged him to help him carry out a coup d'Γ©tat. β
Su Yun listened quietly to Svein's narration, although Svein had passed through the process of the "coup", Su Yun could clearly feel the sea of corpses and blood from this strategist. Behind the word coup d'Γ©tat is endless blood and lives, especially in a place like Noxus, where killing is an art.
And the one who cooperated with him to carry out the coup d'Γ©tat was the actual ruler of Noxus, known as Darius, known as the Hand of Noxus, a warrior who combined all the characteristics of the Noxian nation into one.
"I have reached the peak of power, Darius has given me enough trust, as the founder of the new regime, I am naturally going to clean up the old forces, and the Black Rose, the place that once cultivated me and buried me, is naturally the object of cleanup. During that time, the entire city-state was filled with the smell of blood. β
"Yet I left LeBlanc alive, just like you are today, and she paid enough for me to let her go. Maybe that's one of my favorite traits to play captives, and one day I'll be killed by the captives I've played before, who knows? If there is no opponent in life, it should be a very lonely thing. β
"And what exactly do you want me to do? Pay a sufficient price? I don't have anything in me now, what can I give? β
Svein smiled: "I've been in such a big circle with you, if I wanted to tell you, I would have found out at the beginning, I talked so much nonsense with you, in fact, it is not in line with my style." But the opponent is hard to find, and there has never been a person worth talking to me all these years, well, you already know everything you need to know, and the next fate awaits you here. β
After speaking, Su Yun felt that his eyes were dark, and the room he was in was locked up again.
