With a smile on her lips, Seraphine explained:

"Any ally of the empire can send a certain number of cadets to study at the War College. However, due to the same learning content, the college will be discouraged if it fails the assessment three times in a row, so..."

She turned to look at Audline and reminded with a smile:

"If Miss Audlin wants to enroll, I recommend the Department of History, where the associate professor is my fellow countryman. The content of their assessment is relatively simple. ”

"Department of History, can I find out more about it? I only know about the history of Noxus and Demacia. Audline looked interested.

"Of course... The War College is the Empire's talent base. ”

Seraphine smiled and introduced:

"Hex's Department of Technology and Mechanics, the participants in these two departments are basically craftsmen, who will design weapons and equipment for the Empire in the future. The crystal pendant around your neck is supposed to be the work of Associate Professor Orianna of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, I have a good personal relationship with her, she is the teacher's assistant. ”

"Sounds great, but I don't know anything about it." Audline looked genuinely regretful.

If you can worship the assistant to the president of the Trifali Council, it will definitely be a guarantee for Nokmurch.

But it's a pity that she estimates that the other party shouldn't look down on herself.

She has heard that Noxus does not talk about identity, but only about strength.

"The Department of History and the Department of War, the two largest classifications. One is aimed at training scholars, the other is for officers. The Department of History is divided into the study of the history of each region, and Miss Audlin's only one specialization is enough to graduate from the College. Seraphine continued.

Audline was clearly not trying to learn anything, the connections she had made at the Academy, and the signal that she had gone to study at the Academy, was what Nockmerch needed.

"I've heard that the War Department at the War College is the best and most popular?" Audline asked further.

"That's right."

Seraphine nodded and smiled:

"All the strong ones are there, and if Miss Audlin enters the War College, she may be able to find a qualified husband."

Audline is Eldwin's only daughter, unmarried, and about the same age as Laxana.

In this case, choosing a man with both ability and integrity to join Nokmurch is the wish of the Eldwins.

Eldwin's queen was not present at the banquet, but Seraphine was interested in the queen.

Behind Eldwin and Audline's actions today is all dependent on the queen's planning. If it was just Eldwin, he would be a little reluctant.

Seraphine didn't think too much about it, but continued to introduce Eldwin and his daughter:

"The Department of Administration and the Department of Magic are the highest-rated and most difficult departments to get into at the War College. One requires political experience, and the other requires a talent for magic. ”

"Can I get into the Department of Administration?" Audlin found her goal, "I will also help my father with some government affairs on weekdays. ”

"Of course, Miss Audlin's own conditions are not a problem, but it is a little difficult for His Excellency the County King."

Greeted by Eldwin's curiosity, Seraphine smiled and explained:

"As a prerequisite for admission to the Department of Administration, the cadet must be a Noxian."

Eldwin suddenly looked at his daughter, smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly:

"That's a pity, I only have one daughter, Audline, and I always want to give her the whole of Nokmurch."

"Father!"

Audline had a sweet smile on her lips.

Seraphine raised her glass and took a sip of red yarn juice and said with a smile:

"The gates of Noxus will always be open to all of you in Noxmerch, and if there are any good candidates for your Excellency, you can also join us. Moreover, the Lord of the County must have heard another thing. ”

"Another thing?" Nock Murch froze.

"Regarding mercenaries, Nokmoch is nominally a vassal of Demacia, so it is also equivalent to our ally." Seraphine laughed.

"What do you mean by this?"

Eldwin had heard of this policy, and to be honest, he was tempted.

But when he swept his eyes over Halgod, who was sitting on the far left drinking, he frowned slightly.

Demacia was his biggest scruple and the trigger for him to seek help from Noxus.

He's not having a good time lately.

Nockmoch only nominally belonged to Demacia, and it was located on the Nord-German border, so Demacia would not have made any excessive claims before.

But recently, I don't know what happened, many people from the nobles of Demacia approached him, hoping to buy his labor and make some of it a member of Demacia.

At first he agreed, but with the rumors of the people, he began to feel that something was wrong.

Those who were bought, Demacia treated them as slaves at all, not at all as if they were his own people.

And all the bad repute fell on him, which made him feel unusually dissatisfied.

Later, after being reminded by the queen, Eldwin began to realize that something was wrong.

Demacia, this is cannibalizing them in another way...

On the other side, Noxus, which is based on aggression and expansion, did not move, but Demacia wanted to eat them, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But unfortunately, Nokmoch's military strength is completely unequal to Demacia, and even there is a garrison of Demacia in the kingdom, and Nokmoch does not have any power to resist.

Therefore, he and the queen agreed that the arrival of Seraphine would be an opportunity worth seizing.

Knowing Eldwin's scruples, Seraphine whispered:

"Noxus does not refuse anyone to become our mercenary, and our hiring tasks are varied, and anyone can issue a mission as long as the money is available."

Hearing this implicit sentence, Eldwin immediately understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"A great policy that brings a lot of extra income to my people. I'm going to be promoting Noxus in the kingdom later, and I think there will be a lot of people who will be willing to help you. ”

Under Demacia's watch, Nokmerch could not have had a large army.

Moreover, even if the number of troops increased, they would be shattered at the slightest touch in the face of Demacia's army.

In order to ensure his rights as a king, military force is necessary.

And the plan proposed by Seraphine, Eldwin immediately understood the meaning behind it.

The Noxians were willing to help them train their army and stationed in Nokmerch in another way.

On the surface, they were just mercenaries sent by Noxus on missions, and as long as Nokmoch himself didn't mind, Demacia couldn't condemn them openly.

Moreover, although these people will be trained in Noxus, they are essentially Nokmerchi.

Eldwin didn't trust his handpicked loyalists and would end up turning his back on Nock Murch.

But at the same time, Eldwin can also take a small peek and feel the horror of Noxus.

The recent major event in Demacia is that Laxana succeeded to the position of the Eight Officials, becoming the youngest Eight Officials in history.

The power chain is used to create a >

But the one in front of him is said to be only 13 or 14 years old. He didn't think Laxana was better than the other.

Whether it is words, speech, mannerisms, or behavior, Seraphine gives him a gentle feeling like a spring breeze.

Seraphine didn't look like a child at all in her eyes, but more like an old nobleman who could see everything, but was gentle.

And she is just a representative of the Noxus exchange group, a member of the next generation.

Eldwin raised his eyes and looked at the little mages walking through the banquet hall one by one, and had to admit that Noxus had the ability to cultivate the next generation.

Banquet etiquette is just the least appreciated aspect of Noxian culture. It's hard to imagine how amazing these little mages would be in terms of their strongest strength.

While Seraphine and Eldwin's father and daughter are having a good time, Poppy below is in trouble.

She shoved a small piece of apple pie into her mouth, but the delicious food didn't make her happy.

Instead, he looked at the bird walker next to him depressedly, and said angrily:

"Can you not follow me, isn't this a banquet?"

"Yes, this is a banquet, so isn't it my own freedom wherever I go? That's right, Warlock. ”

The woman in Demacia's light armor took a piece of meat and put it into the mouth of the falcon standing on her shoulder.

Poppy ignored her, and the man had been following her for a while. If she hadn't had more important things now, she would have stepped forward to theorize a long time ago.

There are so many other Noxian mages, and this Demacian soldier didn't look for it, but found himself.

This man, whom she did not know well, came as a guide to meet them after following Seraphine into the territory of Demacia.

It seems like the name is... Quinn? It is said that it was the order of the Generalissimo de Macia, who escorted them all the way to Xiongdu.

But she can't manage that much now, and it's good to eat with Seraphine, but because she has to travel all the time, there is no place like this feast.

It's been a long time since she's eaten such delicious food.

Oh, the heroes are on top. The last time I ate such delicious food was last time.

After eating and drinking, Bobbi patted his belly, burped, turned around and asked:

"Soldier, have you eaten enough?"

"Thank you for your trouble, I'm very satisfied with the food." Ranger Quinn responded with a smile.

On her shoulders, the falcon Hualuo stood tall, reflecting the pride of the eagle to the fullest.

"But I'm not satisfied with what I eat." Poppy's face was full of unhappiness, "There are so many mage apprentices from Noxus here, why did you just keep up with me." ”

"Probably... It's an intuition. Warlo told me that you have the smell of Demacia on you. ”

Quinn stared at Bobby with seriousness in his eyes.

Poppy's image is similar to a legend she heard during Ranger training.

Legend has it that the founding hero of Oron gave his powerful warhammer to a friend of his, a yodeler.

For hundreds of years, the yodeler had walked the continent of Demacia, handing over the hammer to a man she considered a hero.

But none of these people ended well.

Later, in the circulation of the humans of Demacia, the matter of the hammer was slowly forgotten. Occasionally, the hammer will be regarded as a cursed hammer.

The Poppy in front of him fits the image of the legendary yodelers.

Quinn followed Poppy, also to get a closer look and better determine his thoughts.

She was a pure Demacian who couldn't do what she was secretly observing.

"Demacia? Of course, I..."

Poppy just wanted to reveal his identity, but when he thought of Seraphine's statement, he coughed twice:

"We're in Demacia right now, and there's a taste of Demacia everywhere."

"So, you're just a Noxus mage apprentice?" Quinn asked.

Compared to the other mage apprentices, Poppy looks so out of place...

Of course, this is not a problem with Bobby's image, which is the image of a real Noxian in her eyes.

And those little mages were not at all like the savage Noxians, but like the nobles of Demacia.

She had the privilege of meeting the young lady of the Crownguard family once, and her temperament was the same as that of the group of young mages.

Poppy straightened her chest and hesitated for a moment, but still patted the borrowed war school badge:

"Fake it, Bobbi, a student of the Magic Department of the Noxus War Academy, this is my magic warhammer."

As she spoke, she pointed to the huge hammer hanging from her back.

"Noxus Bobby..."

Quinn's expression was complicated, and the name Bobby was the same as the name of the legendary yodeler.

This is important news for Demacia.

No longer anxious, she nodded at Poppy and hurried out of the room.

"Hey!"

Bobbi beckoned to Quinn, and when he saw that there was no response from the other side, he also frowned:

"Inexplicable! How are the soldiers of Demacia like this now. Alas... I really miss the time when Lord Oren was there. ”

She shook her head and sighed, and walked in the direction of the other little mages.

In the VIP seat, Seraphine stood up, stepped on her stage, and raised her glass:

"Your Excellency Halgod, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Standing in front of her was an old man who raised a glass, representing the ambassador of Demacia, Halgod.

"Hello, Miss Seraphine, Demacia welcomes Noxus. When Your Highness traveled to the Immortal Fortress, we were taken care of by you. "Halgod's face was friendly and friendly.

"Prince Gawen is an outstanding warrior, Lord Halgod, and I heard that he also passed through here when he was returning to Xiongdu." Seraphine smiled.

"Yes, they also banished a dragon of evil for Nokmerch." Halgold laughed.

He didn't care about the volume when he spoke, which made Eldwin, who was sitting next to him, look slightly worse.

Eldwin was a little annoyed, knowing what the old fox in front of him was hinting at.

Demacia didn't want him to get too close to Noxus, and reminded him that there was a conflict between getting close to Noxus and Noxus.

When the dragon attacked the village, it affected a Noxian mage, who was extremely tough on diplomacy and forced them to hand over the mage.

Eventually, the mage's body was returned to Noxus, and the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved.

Halgod's mention of this now provokes Eldwin's displeasure.

The body of the Noxian mage, not to mention any traces of the fire dragon's attack, was covered with arrows.

If this has nothing to do with Prince Jiawen, no one will believe it.

It was originally from Demacia, what does it have to do with them.

Seraphine glanced at Eldwin slightly, a smile on her lips, and said to Halgod:

"I've heard about that incident, the Imperial Mage is the adoptive father of the Trevari Warband, and has been affected by the fire dragon. I am very grateful to Prince Jiawen for his help at that time, if it weren't for him, the mage might have been gone. ”

After speaking, she changed her front and turned to congratulate:

"I heard that Miss Crowned Guard has become one of the eight ministers of magic, and I haven't congratulated you yet."

"Laxana has been excellent since she was a child, and she will be the heir to the crown." Halgold said with a smile.

Halgold must have been Laxana and Galen's uncle, but Seraphine shook her head in her heart.

Being sent to Nokmurch as an ambassador is said to be the core of the crown guard is much worse, but the status is also a little higher than that of ordinary people.

But in a young man, such a person has become corrupt.

It's hard to believe that there is a whole team of mages under the command of Halgod, and the wealth he has even surpasses that of the royal family of Nockmerch.

During the ban period, the contact between the Demon Seeker Legion and Nockmerch was the ambassador in front of him.

Of course...

Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with the real 'Hargod'...

Seraphine looked at Halgod, who was talking happily in front of her, and secretly said a name in her heart:

Ms. LeBlanc...

"That's right, Miss Seraphine. There's something Xiongdu wants me to remind you about. Halgold patted his head, looking like he suddenly remembered.

"What's the matter?" Seraphine was distracted.

She knew in her heart that this was probably not a reminder from Xiongdu, but an order from the Immortal Fortress.

"On your way to Demacia, there are the towns of La Ruk and Sadvina to be aware of, which are the areas where the opposition to the ban is the worst, and I have recently heard that some people are spreading fear there, and Xiongdu's advice is to avoid these two places." Halgold kindly reminded.

The small town of La Ruch... The city of Sadhina... Where to go next...

Seraphine smiled and shook her head, rejecting Halgod's kindness:

"We're here from Noxus to communicate, they hate magic, and it's worth our visit. This is the territory of Demacia, and I think Demacia will keep us safe. ”

She knew in her heart that this might be an order from the Immortal Fortress.

Speaking out in public was nothing more than a suitable excuse for her to go there.

And what happened there might be something to do with 'fear', maybe it was something to do with the ban.

But either way, she decided she wanted to go.

Even without Demacia's help, relying only on the protection of the Trefali Warband, plus her two hole cards, she was not afraid of anything in Demacia.

She believed that even if the Guardian Mage Reze was in person, her teacher would be able to easily repel him.

With a smile on her face, Seraphine discussed her future trip to Demacia with Halgod, and Eldwin next to her interjected from time to time, telling him what he knew about Demacia.

The dinner ended perfectly in a pleasant atmosphere. chaptere
