314 Closing Eight (5000)
Noxus hasn't been this lively for a long time.
Since His Majesty the Fierce Emperor had lost his former anger and killed a lot, the imperial city of Noxus had lost its former vitality and had fallen into a strange dead silence.
The internal struggles, the struggle for power, the rise of one rookie after another and the decline of others seem to be hidden in the shadows, causing the entire imperial city to evolve to the other extreme.
To put it simply, it seems that everything can be shown with an alternative "depravity".
And today, when the residents of the imperial city woke up, they suddenly found that the sky had changed.
Although there was a lot of movement in the Royal Forest last night, the residents didn't have any more curiosity to drive them to explore.
In Noxus, whether you are a powerful person or a lowly person, you must know one thing: curiosity kills people!
And after waking up, even if there were already many speculations, when the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne spread all over the streets, it still attracted countless people's suspicions and speculations.
Especially, when more news came and it was determined that the newly appointed empress was a little girl who was less than fifteen years old and far from adulthood, the unprecedented doubts directly pushed everything to the peak!
Then, after the Grand General Durkkao, General Svein, General Cree, and General Darius stood up and stood safely for the sake of Empress Anne's supporters, there were no opponents, and the whole thing was confirmed.
As for the princes and ministers who disappeared overnight...... The people who eat melons said that they don't want to know where they have gone, they just want to know whether there will be any qualitative improvement in the life that is completely close to them after Her Majesty the Empress ascends the throne.
The result was gratifying, standing on the top of the tower, Her Majesty the Empress sat peacefully on her throne, and the Grand General Dukkao borrowed the magic horn to spread the new order throughout the Royal Square, and also made the countless Noxian civilians who came to watch know the current situation.
After the initial chaos, the whole city calmed down with the charisma of Durkkao's personality and the decree.
It is to be expected that this trend will spread throughout Noxus unless someone is sincere in its sabotage.
And once there is an obstacle in the way, then it is time for General Dukkao to make a move.
Ionia made peace for the time being, Zaun remained calm, and Shadow Island was isolated overseas, but instead became a pillar and ally.
Picheng, Bancheng, Biltover, Freljord, are even more irrelevant.
As for the biggest threat, Demacia - not to mention that Noxus has never been afraid of Debang's soft eggs, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Debang is now being "taken in" by Noxus, who in Demacia dares to do it easily?
With the external threat temporarily eliminated, Duke Kao finally has the opportunity to drastically clean up the scars accumulated in Noxus for many years, remove the dark disease, and usher in new blood.
............
Luo Ye stood on the top floor of the small bie building directly opposite the Royal Square, looking out of the window at everything that was happening in the vast central square.
The most important thing is, of course, Duke Kao, who is standing in the foreground, explaining something loudly.
The order to be given by the Imperial General - this is undoubtedly a rare and great event, and it is also the first time that the Empire has experienced it.
It's just that Luo Ye didn't care about the new weather vane of Noxus, but looked at the small figure sitting on the throne from afar.
Although she was young, Anne was wearing a golden high-necked yellow robe at this time, covered in gold and yellow, and wearing a big tall hat on her head.
The still slightly immature face was set off by a dress, with a strange brilliance, and it seemed to be the solemnity of the atmosphere, which made Anne lose her usual laughter, and looked very solemn.
Luo Ye finally sighed softly, turned around, and looked at the few people in the small building: "Although Anne is only on a job when she goes up, as long as she sits in that seat, she doesn't want to rest." Durkkao can help her with a lot of the government, and I'm sure Dukkao will be happy to do the same.
But I know Anne just as well. This bear child will never allow himself to only have a name, and then enjoy the treatment of being an emperor, but he does not have the duties of an emperor. β
"Your Majesty Luo Ye can rest assured, as long as Your Majesty wants to meddle in government affairs, Your Excellency the General will definitely comply. LeBlanc bowed slightly and said.
"That's what I'm worried about, anyway...... Since Anne has become the emperor of Noxus, then you should take care of it, and when I return to the Shadow Isle, I don't know when I will come out. β
Sindra's face pale, standing next to Luo Ye, darkened slightly, even though she had expected it in her heart, but when Luo Ye's words came out, it still made Sindra's face extremely unsightly.
- Especially Luo Ye won't allow her to leave with him!
She couldn't help but ask a little irritably, "When are you going to leave?"
"Soon. Luo Ye replied softly.
Then he quickly turned his face away and looked at the last man in the pavilion.
Soraka.
The latter saw Luo Ye's gaze and smiled slightly: "Originally...... I should have sent you away, after all, I said I would go to Shadow Isle, but I still didn't have time to go. Now that something has happened in Ionia, I have to leave quickly, and now I will leave you first. β
She showed a slightly embarrassed look on her face, paused, and thanked softly: "The star stone you gave me, I really thank you, I can feel it, with the help of that star stone, I can quickly return to the position where I fell before, and when that time comes......"
She paused and didn't continue, but the gratitude on her face couldn't be hidden.
Luo Ye just nodded slightly: "That Origin Stone of the Starry Sky is only the largest Origin Stone in Thor's collection, and it is of no use to me, but it is different for Soraka."
I can't say thank you or not, the friendship of a starry goddess is always more important than the friendship of the guardian saint of Ionia. β
Soraka smiled and shook his head slightly: "You always act so indifferent, everything speaks with interests, but Luo Ye, what you usually do has exposed your temperament.
I think it's good that the Lord of Shadow Island can still have such a heart, and I think it will be a blessing for the entire Runeterra. β
Seeing that Luo Ye still had that indifferent face, Soraka shook his head slightly, and finally said goodbye: "Goodbye." β
"Goodbye. Luo Ye replied.
Soraka sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and the soles of his feet were shining with stars, and they had turned into meteors and left.
When acting alone, she still likes this way of acting. Rune spells - teleportation, not to mention excessive consumption, the damage caused by the leakage of rune power also exists......
Seeing Soraka leaving, Luo Ye's eyes rolled slightly, and finally looked at LeBlanc.
After a good negotiation with Duke Kao overnight, there were many deals between Shadow Island and Noxus, and Luo Ye "returned" Darius back.
Of course, what is already needed from the latter is also one of the reasons.
Not to mention anything else, Luo Ye didn't believe in the press conference of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and LeBlanc didn't show up on the spot because of his friendship with himself.
There must be something else going on!
Looking at LeBlanc quietly, Luo Ye waited for the latter's initiative to speak.
But LeBlanc really calmed down, and seeing that there was no movement, Luo Ye said directly: "If there is nothing else, Ms. LeBlanc, I am about to leave Noxus!"
Before LeBlanc could speak, Sindra was a little indignant, and finally glanced at Luo Ye's face, but didn't say anything.
LeBlanc smiled bitterly and shook his head: "His majesty Luo Ye is still the most real. β
She paused, and gently took out a prismatic black crystal from her arms, which looked inconspicuous, but just looked deeply, and seemed to be obsessed with it.
"What is this?" Sindra looked at twice, a little surprised.
She didn't see what it was, she didn't analyze what it was, but she felt how extraordinary it was.
Luo Ye seemed very calm, which made LeBlanc a little calm.
He touched his chin and smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it's in your hands." β
He didn't talk nonsense, he didn't explain, but like LeBlanc, he took two things out of his bosom.
A Dragon Ball.
The other one, the old man's doll. Judging from some makeup, it looks a little similar to William III last night.
LeBlanc's eyes widened suddenly, and then he threw the black crystal in his hand to Luo Ye with a smile, and reached out to take both things in his hand, but was directly stopped by Luo Ye.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty the Leaf Crown?" LeBlan's voice froze.
Luo Ye replied flatly: "One thing for another." β
LeBlanc's eyes also turned cold: "Your Majesty should know how important that thing is to you!"
Luo Ye still replied calmly: "In the same way, this thing is equally important to you and me. β
He pointed to the dragon ball: "This thing is important to me. β
Then he pointed to the doll: "Well, maybe this is not very important to you, Ms. LeBlanc, but it should be very important to Your Excellency the General, you can completely negotiate terms with His Excellency the General, instead of grinding with me here and wasting time." β
Luo Ye said very calmly.
LeBlanc smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty Luo Ye, you are really calculating, and you are not willing to pay more." β
She said softly, reaching out and taking the old man-like doll into her hand.
Just as Luo Ye said, with this thing, she could completely make up for everything from Duke Kao, but it was much stronger than taking a pure high-concentration unknown energy crystal.
Even if the energy contained in that energy crystal is really intoxicating.
Seeing this, Luo Ye nodded with satisfaction: "Look, what a perfect deal, you think it's good, and I think it's acceptable." β
LeBlanc shook his head and didn't speak.
Then I heard Luo Ye ask with a slight pause: "This black crystal...... Do you know there's still there?"
"I don't know. LeBlanc replied in a muffled voice.
Then her tone also calmed down: "It was also a coincidence that I got this thing at the beginning, and it is impossible for His Majesty Luo Ye to know more from me." β
She didn't say what kind of coincidence it was, and Luo Ye didn't ask calmly.
Seeing that LeBlanc was slightly distracted, he paused and said, "Anne is the emperor of Noxus, I hope that you will tell Durkkao when you go back, even if you give your own life, let him protect his monarch." Don'tβin the event of last night. β
"I will. LeBlanc nodded, her figure fading slightly, and vanished.
Seeing the two leaving, Sindra's face was not good: "Last night, you asked me to do it, blew up the high platform, and secretly controlled William III in your hands, and now what are you doing throwing him out?"
Luo Ye smiled: "Of course, it's because of trading him out that you can get the greatest benefits!"
Seeing that Sindra was a little upset, he reached out and stroked the latter's hair, and suddenly, the situation improved.
Sindra pursed her lips slightly, and finally asked, "Do you really want to leave?"
Luo Ye nodded: "I have to leave, and the sooner the better, in the Shadow Island, there are still some important things, waiting for me to go back." β
At the unfavorable point, the ghost knows the matter of the underworld space, whether there will be a moth, Luo Ye must rush back as soon as possible, clean up, upgrade and replenish the state, and then prepare to implement his plan.
Sindra was silent.
Luo Ye asked, "I heard...... Are you going to stay in Noxus for a while?"
"Hmm. Anne, this child, is no less talented than mine, and I am ready to take her as an apprentice and stay for a while. β
Sindra explained.
But Luo Ye knew in his heart that this was the so-called personal protection in other words......
"Thank you for your hard work......"
Hearing this, Sindra showed a bright smile on her face, then looked at Luo Ye and said word by word: "I'm not tired." β
............
............
The original Lord of the Stars, now the Lord of the Shadow Isles, sliced through the sky of the Runeterra, and finally landed on the Shadow Island, dropping the people transported on it in turn.
Luo Ye got off the dragon's head, and said in his heart that this speed was really slippery.
If it weren't for the fact that he was waiting for this thing to show up in Noxus, Luo Ye felt that he didn't want to catch up with this product in any other way.
Reaching out, he patted Thor's huge dragon head and ordered, "Go away." β
"Will you let me go?" Thor widened his eyes.
Luo Ye rolled his eyes: "Who said that, let you move freely for a while, call you that day, and run back as fast as I can!"
"Got it. Thor replied with some weakness.
Luo Ye knows that you can't just let the horses run, don't let the horses eat grass.
He thought for a moment and said, "If my plan goes well, then there are many ways to make the dragon clan grow stronger, and it depends on your efforts whether you need it or not." β
Thor glanced at Luo Ye with some suspicion, his face full of disbelief, but he was a little more nervous than before, nodded emphatically, and flew towards the starry sky.
Although he had been directly knocked down to the mortal world by Luo Ye from the god position of the Lord of the Starry Sky, after all, the innate talent was there, and running into the starry sky could make Thor's strength recovery speed much faster.
Behind Luo Ye, after Thor left, Hekarimkar and the others came over.
Luo Ye casually threw a few dolls in his hand to Hecarim, and said, "Give them to Hammerstone." β
There were clowns, trolls, man-wolves, green weirdos, and blood-colored humanoids.
Hecarim was stunned for a moment, and took out the blood-colored humanoid doll in the middle: "My lord, this." Leave it to Hammer Stone, his strength, I'm afraid ......."
Luo Ye waved his hand casually: "Just leave it to him, this old undead, the absolute power doesn't seem to be strong, but there are many more hidden things than you think." β
Hekarim paused, nodded, and quickly left.
Luo Ye's gaze fell on Carl.
This terrifying demigod ghost is a new undead spirit formed by Luo Ye after being tortured into several soul fragments by the criminal law using the demigod Lich Karthas by the criminal law, and Luo Ye manipulated it with the assistance of others to re-burn the soul fragments.
Although it has some memories of Karthas, it is no longer Karthus.
On the contrary, because of the erosion of the divine power of the Shadow Island and Luo Ye's manipulation, this new undead's loyalty to Luo Ye is also unusually high, no less than Hecarim.
Similarly, because of this characteristic, after Luo Ye temporarily transferred the authority of the Shadow Island to him, this ghost was able to support and deter the storm goddess Jana.
A very impressive record.
As for the aftermath, the divine power of Shadow Island naturally returned to Luo Ye.
Even if the phases are compatible, after a long time, Carl will not be able to bear it.
"My lord, listen to your commands. β
He floated to Luo Ye with a lot of eyes, listening to the order.
Luo Ye nodded and ordered: "I will leave for a while again, during the time I am away, you and Hekarim take care of the Shadow Island, and when the time comes, no matter what happens, don't be surprised." β
Karl's figure flickered twice, and replied respectfully, "Follow your orders." My lord. β
As he spoke, his figure swayed, drifting towards the Ghost Castle as fast as lightning.
In the current Shadow Island, ordinary undead have been added to be very powerful, not to mention these already powerful demigod undead.
Watching Carl leave, Luo Ye paused and took out the black crystal from his bosom.
Perhaps it can't be called a crystal anymore, but rather a fragment of Shadowisle's Origin Authority.
As this fragment was taken out by Luo Ye, the entire Shadow Island seemed to have some senses and issued an inexplicable call.
Luo Ye glanced at the lens, casually, borrowed the system, and dispatched the fragment of the origin mark of the Stygian Wood Space, and said in his heart: "In the future, whether you will eat fragrant and spicy food, or eat soil and drink ashes, it depends on this time." β
He said in his heart, and glanced at the system panel again:
Luo Ye, Strength: 40, Agility: 40, Constitution: 40, Spirit: 40, Potential: 15, Progress 68%, Genetic Evolution LV5, Lord of Shadow Island LV2, Descendant of the Dragon LV1
Descendant of the Dragon LV1: The body continues to grow stronger, the genes continue to evolve, under the guidance of the dragon's power, your body seems to awaken some magical things, some of them, which are almost gone, and only exist at the end of the genetic fragment of terrible qualities. You can continue to strengthen yourself to awaken more of this trait, or you can use the high purity of dragon power to speed up the process.
Focusing on the dragon's descendant template, Luo Ye felt a lot more confident in his heart.
As for why the Karthus template disappeared, it was naturally a normal consumption when it was fused with Karl.
Looking at the Shadow Island Authority Fragment and the Stygian Wood Space Origin Mark Fragment in his hand, the Shadow Island divine power in Luo Ye's body continued to surge.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I seemed to feel the new space that I had glimpsed last time.
A smile appeared on Luo Ye's face:
"Whether you rise up or eat the soil, it depends on this experience. β
So, let's do it.
In the future, should we follow our own path and break free from the shackles of a third party, or will we continue to follow the existing trajectory............
