"Teacher, is this your gladiatorial arena experience, it sounds much more powerful than ordinary gladiators." Seraphine touted.

Counterinsurgency contributions, glory to the only winner of the death match, killing dozens of Demacian elites and even generals...

Such a record is enough for Ryan to occupy a place in Noxus.

"It shouldn't be... Such a feat should be the commander of the warband. Ezreal interjected.

He had a deep understanding of the Governor's deeds, which he had to curry favor with.

But he had heard that the President of the Council had been the Adjutant of the Commander-in-Chief.

Falk shook his head slightly, sighed and said:

"The empire of that meeting was different from now, and only the nobles born in the Great Commander could directly become the main general by virtue of merit. Although the empire has always had three ways to be a general, in the era of the previous emperor, these paths were more obstacles. ”

"Darkwell violated the laws of strength in the Empire, if it weren't for the Darius guy who didn't let me, I would have cut that old guy a long time ago." Draven touched his mustache, his face full of indignation.

How could he be inferior to the cripple of Urgat, why could he be an executioner and not himself?

"Noxus is not as strict as Demacia, nor as long as Freljord, nor as glorious as Shurima, and even less proud of its strength than Ionia. But he is the best soil for talented people. Ryan recounted calmly.

Seraphine interjected at the right time and asked:

"Teacher, wasn't it as good here as it is now?"

"It's not as good as it is now, but only Noxus can quickly become what it is now. As long as you have the talent and strength, there will be countless people in the empire who are willing to follow you and are willing to see what the empire under your leadership will look like. Ryan smiled.

Overthrowing the ruler in Noxus is not at all the same as overthrowing the ruler in Demacia.

It would be even more difficult to establish a new unified government in the separate regions of Ionia.

"This is the law of the empire's strength, a code that has lasted for thousands of years since the beginning of the country." Falk added with emotion on the side, "As long as you have the strength, even if you overthrow all the imperial rulers, you will be supported by the majority of the people." ”

For the cowardly, incompetent or unmotivated, Noxus is hell.

But for those who want to get stronger, Noxus is heaven.

"It's time for small talk, and today's protagonist is here." Ryan leaned back in his chair and spoke in a relaxed tone.

In the gladiatorial arena below, the previous two gladiators had just finished fighting.

As the iron fences on both sides of the gladiatorial arena slowly rose with the sound of steel grinding, two small figures came into the eyes of all the audience.

With firm steps, they each walked out of the doorway on one side until they were about 10 meters apart, and then they stood still.

"Wow!"

Since these two people appeared, the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became hot.

"Time Assassin!! Defeat your opponents! ”

"Runaway girl! Kill each other with firepower! ”

"Time Assassin..."

"Runaway Girl..."

“......”

The crowd began to cheer for their gladiator, hoping that he/she would still win the match and maintain his winning streak.

Falk was afraid that several bigwigs would not understand the ace gladiators who appeared, so he added in a timely manner:

"Time Assassin Ike, a native of Zaun. He is now a cadet of the Hextech Department and has won 70 matches in a row, and he is not far from the Yum Gladiator.

"The weapon in Ike's hand is called the Time Hand, and it is a Hex weapon, the work of Master Victor. It is capable of opening up a fantastic temporal force field around it, speeding itself up and slowing down opponents. So he ended the battle quickly every time, relying on hitting the opponent's key points to win, hence the name... Time Assassin. ”

"The Runaway Girl Jinx, also from Zaun, is now a cadet of the War Department under the head of Lord Executioner, and is currently 50 wins. In the beginning, she was not used to gladiatorial combat, and although she was a gunslinger, she won most of the duels in close combat. At the beginning, she won and lost, and she was not very strong.

But it didn't take long for her to adapt to this place very quickly, both physically and in her style of play were rapidly improving, her gun skills and combat experience improved by leaps and bounds, and now she has won almost 30 games in a row. Because of her deadly style of play and crazy fire catharsis, she got the name of a rampaging girl. ”

"These two are quite strong."

With interest in his eyes, Ezreal suddenly shouted below:

"Oh, rampage girl, come on, blow up that time assassin!"

He hadn't forgotten Ike's revenge for catching him at that time, and although the guy had a great advantage in the victory, it didn't prevent him from having some kind of expectation in his heart.

Hearing the familiar voice, Ike frowned and glanced at the heights, and was surprised to find several people on the high platform.

Most of them were familiar to him, people he had met in Zaun.

He made a salutation towards the high platform, addressed to Ryan, who was sitting in the center.

After following Victor, he also slowly learned...

Zuan is what he is now, and he can't do without Ryan's funding and help. Even Victor was instructed by Ryan to return to Zaun.

In other words, Ryan is their benefactor.

Vote for Li to repay the peach, they Zuan are also willing to unconditionally dedicate themselves to the empire and him, which is the way of repaying the kindness of the Zuan people.

"Ike, get ready. It's been a long time since we've competed. Jinx was not far away with a machine gun on his shoulder, excitement on his face.

"I don't want to fight you."

Ike frowned slightly, the last thing he wanted to run into in the gladiatorial arena was Jinx. It's not that the other party is strong, but he doesn't want to make a move on him.

Everyone is from Zuan...

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

As the cheers around him grew louder and louder, the colosseum was filled with the sound of strong and rhythmic gongs and drums.

This portends the...

The gladiatorial fight begins!

"Ike, I'm not going to show mercy!"

Jinx felt his blood boiling as he listened to the sound of gongs and drums, and raised his machine gun and fired at Ike.

She loved it, this place that allowed her to run wild.

As long as she is strong enough, no matter what she does, she can usher in applause.

If you do a good job, you will be praised, and even if things are messed up, as long as you try your best to show your strength, everyone will give you the warmest applause and encouragement.

Just like when she first came, she lost some self-doubt, and even remembered her poor past.

But the Noxians' post-war applause and cheers reinvigorated her, just because she gave a wonderful duel, fought timidly to the end, and beat her opponent hard before losing.

She loves it here, and people here will never come and tell her nonsense like "Boom, next time".

Bite! Bite! Bite!!

The crisp notes of the shells hit the ground in a symphony, and the machine guns erupted with fire, and the bullets rained down mercilessly, hurtling towards Ike.

In the face of the dense barrage, Ike still looked calm and stared at the front of him.

"Time..."

He whispered two words, and a blue light burst out from the weapon in his hand, which was like an hour hand, enveloping the entire field to form a semi-sphere.

Bullet... It's slowed down.

Wind... It came to a near standstill.

"Huh!"

At that moment, Ike moved.

The bullets were still pouring, but in the eyes of all spectators, they were slower than the arrows of a bow and arrow.

Ike walked through the hail of bullets, the hour hand in his hand striking out, pulling away the bullets that seemed to have faded from their kinetic energy.

He withstood a storm of bullets, and the distance between him and Jinx was constantly narrowed.

"Time magic?"

Sindra watched the battle with a hint of interest in her eyes.

"Ike has a talent for time, but due to his age and education, this ability is not well utilized." Ryan said flatly.

If Ike could have a good time-based magic mentor, his current strength would not be so weak.

Unfortunately, there are so few people like that in the Land of Runeterra, that even he has only heard of it in rumors.

"Huh!"

Ike's figure almost turned into a blue light, and soon reached the opponent's approach.

Jinx seemed to have known that this would turn out to be the current situation, grinning maniacally.

Click! Click! Click!

The sound of the mechanical box opening and closing came from her, and three tin canisters shook off her.

Seeing this scene, Ike suddenly changed color, but at this moment it was too late for him to make a move.

Jinx didn't back down, although she was much slower than Ike in the force field, but she still turned the thick barrel of the machine gun sideways, and blocked Ike's attack.

With the force of the barrel, she threw it backwards.

As soon as she was in the air, three iron cans roared at the same time, and the flames of the explosion swept through the entire area.

Seeing the grand flames enveloping the arena, most of the Noxian audience stood up, passionately and eagerly venting their emotions.

"Noxus !!"

"Gladiatorial fighting! Gladiatorial fights! ”

"Runaway Girl !!"

The shouts and explosions echoed each other in the gladiatorial arena at the same time, and everyone's blood was rising.

The fire cleared, and Jinx quickly got up from the ground, switching the machine gun to a cannonball without pause.

She had been taught by Victor for a few days, and the weapon in her hand could already be considered the finished product of Hex's weapon.

She can switch between machine gun and rocket launcher at will, which meets almost all of her combat needs.

"Buzz!"

Jinx excitedly dragged a long note and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Smoke rose from the tail of the bazooka, blasting straight towards the place where the fire had not yet subsided.

Bang!

The rocket hit the ground, and there was another loud bang, and the entire gladiatorial arena began to shake slightly.

The time barrier that had just been released was like raindrops falling, rippling like raindrops, and it looked almost shattered.

But even in the end, the glimmering barrier was not broken...

"Cut..."

Seeing this, Jinx pursed his lips and took a few steps back, quickly exiting the enveloping range of the enchantment.

Fighting on the opponent's home turf, she has no chance of winning.

"That's a brutal attack."

The fire dissipated, and Ike smiled and twisted his thick arms, and his body was unscathed.

It's just that the Hex gem on the pointer in his hand seems to be a little weaker than the previous light.

"Why was it okay to attack him just now?" Ezreal on the high platform couldn't help but say.

"The power of magic, Ike used that weapon to rewind time." Seraphine said nonchalantly.

Compared to before, her knowledge reserve can support her to understand the battle.

At least you don't have to rely on listening to your heart.

"Rewind time? Is that a way back in time? Ezreal's eyes widened.

"That weapon isn't that strong." Seraphine guessed, "It must be that the weapon recorded its state a few seconds ago, and then when it is cast, the weapon will retrace its body back to the same state as it was when it was recorded." ”

"It's a good ability, it's a blessing for explorers." Ezreal couldn't help but ask.

He quickly thought of what that weapon was for... Help him avoid many of the dangers he encounters during his expeditions.

Ezreal's burning gaze was fixed on Ike's weapon.

Since the other party has snatched his arm guard, when he is strong, it is not too much to borrow the opponent's weapon to play...

While communicating on the high platform, the audience once again let out an enthusiastic noise, and the battle below began again.

"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to beat you, but I won it. Wahahahaha!! ”

Jinx's frantic face was filled with pleasure, and she pulled the trigger in her hand again and again, and fired rockets into the Time Enchantment.

It's like fireworks blooming, and each cannonball bursts into perfect sparks.

The sound of rockets throwing and exploding sounded one after another, like a passionate symphony, playing a beautiful and noisy melody.
