"I admire your courage, but unfortunately you don't have the qualifications yet." Seraphine looked indifferent and refused without hesitation.

She wasn't used to saying things like that, but she knew what to do and when.

If you want to prove yourself by stepping on Noxus, before you have such a stupid idea, you have to weigh your strength.

Fiona gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and said, "I've heard that Noxians never turn down challenges. ”

The corners of Seraphine's mouth curled slightly, and she chuckled and said:

"That's true, if it's an ordinary exchange, I'm happy to accompany you. But if I represent Noxus, what do you have to challenge my capital? ”

At the end of her words, her voice suddenly rose up, but it didn't come out, it sounded directly in Fiona's soul.

Just this sound made Fiona's face pale, her body trembled slightly, and her body was tumbling with qi and blood, looking crumbling.

Intimidated by Seraphine's direct gaze at her soul, even if she was just standing and breathing, it was extremely difficult.

Seeing this scene, Ryan just sat aside and watched with interest, taking a sip of tea from time to time, without the slightest intention of interference.

At this moment, Seraphine slowly stood up, standing on her stage, so high that she could even look down on Fiona, full of majesty, completely without the appearance of the girl next door.

"Miss Fiona, you have no problem with your thoughts, but do you really think that with the sword in your hand, you can do everything you want?"

Seraphine looked at the thin sword that hung from Fiona's waist and spat out a word:

"Shattered!"

Bang –

A sound like broken glass sounded, and the fine iron was broken inch by inch and fell to the ground.

This is the first time that Seraphine has shown her ability after becoming a hero, and her soul voice can no longer only act on the soul, but also affect a part of the material world through the voice.

Fiona's eyes widened, trying to grasp the hilt of her sword, but she could only watch it shatter.

For a swordsman...

Broken Sword... It means complete defeat.

Challenging a girl younger than herself is already a shame for her.

But in this challenge, she also lost completely... And defeat is so easy.

Looking at Fiona, whose eyes were blank, Seraphine said calmly:

"It seems that you have no way to prove the innocence of the Laurent family, but Noxus appreciates the challenger, and I can give you one more choice."

After saying this, she looked at her teacher with a vague look of help.

Destruction, she's very good at it.

Fabricate... She's not quite good right now.

Ryan smiled slightly, waved his hand and snapped his fingers, and a thin sword forged from rune steel floated in midair.

Seraphine sensibly made a swing motion, and the rapier flew out with a "boom", plunging straight into the stone floor in front of Fiona.

"Take up this sword, and generously admit the relationship between the Laurent family and Noxus, and we will protect you and your family."

Her demonic whispers reached Fiona's ears, causing her body to tremble.

"Announcing the official joining of Noxus, all problems will be solved."

Issue... Can you really not think about it?

Fiona's eyes were shaken, remembering his grandfather, who was uncomfortable with his reputation.

If Noxus can completely shut everyone's mouths, then Old General Laurent may be able to get better...

But just when she was hesitant in her heart, Seraphine changed her words and directly sent Fiona to hell:

"Of course, this is different from you joining the Inquisition, you will turn your back on your identity as a Demacian, you will give up your past as Demacia, and you will secretly become the sword of Noxus and serve it until death."

"Since then, the Laurent family has not been subjected to any gossip, they will not dare to speak because of the strength of the feared Noxus, only dare to slander in their hearts."

"That's what you really thought before you came, is it, Miss Fiona."

Fiona fell silent at the end of the statement in the form of a question.

Maybe... She must have meant that before.

If you can't defend your innocence with a sword, you will feed the tiger with your body, in order to get rid of the current family's predicament.

When everything was revealed and torn apart by Seraphine, she hesitated...

But if you don't... What could she do?

"Think about who you are, Miss Fiona."

Seraphine spoke lightly, knowing in her heart that most of the problem had been solved.

Fiona's talent is not bad, but the empire has done so much before, and it has never been for the sake of a gifted warrior.

The Laurent family is enough to become the fuse for the eight officials to tear apart the superficial harmony.

"Identity..."

Fiona's body trembled slightly when she heard Seraphine's suggestion.

Except for the identity of the youngest daughter of the Laurent family, she is only a member of the Judgment Mission.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember what Laxana had said to her.

Being a member of the Inquisition gives you the freedom to reject everything. Moreover... Be able to assert yourself in a proper way.

Thinking of this, Fiona's eyes had a hint of understanding.

"Thank you for your teaching, and in the future, I will come back and challenge you with a sword."

She gazed deeply at Seraphine without looking at the rapier on the ground, and turned away without looking back.

She's already defeated, and she doesn't know why Seraphine woke her up, or what they're planning.

But for her, everything is already imperative.

After she had left, Seraphine drew her sword and said with some regret:

"The material of this sword is good, it's a pity that I didn't give it away."

"If it is really sent out, the empire will lose more than just a sword." Ryan smiled, "It's yours now, do you want to consider learning swordsmanship." ”

"Teacher, are you going to be my swordsmanship instructor?" Seraphine blinked.

She knew that her teacher, as a mage, had excellent swordsmanship ability.

At that time, when Wazuan fought against the Void creatures, he used magic and swordsmanship to capture them.

Of course, she is also saying that she has no interest in swordsmanship.

When she encounters an enemy stronger than her, it is better for her to lie down and call the teacher, and she doesn't care if she is close or not.

When she encounters an enemy weaker than her, she will inevitably be able to hear the other party's heart, and there is no possibility of hand-to-hand combat.

"As far as a mage is concerned, there is still a lot to learn." Ryan smiled.

"I'm still young, enough for me to study." Seraphine changed the subject and said, "Teacher, is my plan for today's handling okay?" ”

"What did you hear from her soul when she left?" Ryan asked rhetorically.

"She strengthened her belief in using the sword to preserve glory." "Starting tomorrow, in the name of the Inquisition, she will find those who have criticized the Laurent family. Trial charges: Defamation. ”

"Interesting, isn't it?" Ryan smiled, "Kyle's absolute justice isn't for nothing in some ways. ”

"Uh..."

Seraphine's mouth opened, she always felt that in her teacher's words, she was not saying good things about absolute justice...

She could hear in her words that absolute justice was being exercised in Demacia, but it was good for the empire...

When Fiona punishes those people in the name of justice, the O'Neill family will have a legitimate excuse to take sides and help Fiona.

And then, it will be time for the crown guard or the shield to step in.

At that time, a direct conflict between the nobles of Demacia was bound to erupt.

"Will it be too fast?" Seraphine asked.

According to the estimation of time, the complete outbreak will lead to the change of kingdoms, which is not even enough time to defeat the claws of winter.

"Noxus don't need to wipe out the Claws of Winter, they are the key to counterbalancing Demacia and Avarossa." Ryan said lightly.

From the very beginning, they only said that they were going to send troops, and never said that they were going to destroy the Claws of Winter.

Demacia didn't think they could do it, they didn't have that idea.

"Teacher, won't this affect the prestige of our army?" Seraphine wondered.

She knew very little about the army and the war.

"The results are enough so far, and we have played a brilliant victory. We were only here to help the Alliance, and the army of Demacia insisted on retreating, so there was no need for us to stay there. Ryan smiled and shook his head.

"I see!" Seraphine said suddenly.

The internal conflict in Demacia, coupled with information from Noxsa, indicates that two Demacians are crossing the northern mountains with some kind of intent in mind.

After a while, waiting for Demacia to fall into internal and external troubles, Gavin and Galen had no reason not to withdraw their troops.

And when Jiawen did not successfully become the eight officials, his reputation and prestige were not even as good as Galen's, and he was not qualified to be the king at all.

As for Elenno, one of the eight officials, she is even more disqualified. Except for the title of noble councillor, it can be regarded as useless.

Demacia's internal rivalry would soon fall to the end that the empire had hoped for.

And...

Seraphine looked at her teacher.

Now that Ryan is here, it means that the Empire's plans in Demacia are nearing completion.

Only, the final finale.

......

In the midst of the wind and snow in the northern mountains.

Two tall figures unexpectedly met each other in the snowstorm.

They looked at each other and said in a confused and solemn voice:

"Eldred!?"

"Silas!?"

Neither of them seemed to expect that the other party would appear in this ice and snow.

The relationship between the two of them was not good, one was the detainee and the other was the chief of the prisoners.

Fifteen years of hatred could not be so easily erased in Silas's heart.

What's more, Eldred also killed more than one fellow mage.

"Captain Eldred, you should stay in Xiongdu at this time and guard the law and order there." Silas's words were sarcastic.

Even if the other party and Laxana are a family, they only become outcasts in political sacrifice in the end.

The Captain of the Guard, sounds like a great name, but he just manages some trivial chores.

It seems that everything can be managed, but in fact, everything has to be controlled by the eight officials.

"Silas, you should be standing next to Laxana." Eldred still has the posture of a high-ranking man.

Because of what happened to his sister, he hated the demon law in his heart.

If it weren't for Tiana, he wouldn't have had any crush on Laxana.

"For the sake of Laxana and the crownguard, I have a reason why I have to be here." Silas was pointed, with a playful look on his face.

He seems to have thought of the story about Nat that has been circulated among the people of Xiongdu.

Eldred, however, is just a wretched creature.

"It looks like we have the same goal." Eldred's face was indifferent.

"We might as well talk about it together." Silas grinned.

Eldred glanced at him and said in unison:

"Winter's Claws!"

After saying that, the two fell into silence.

They came here to this snowy place for the Crowned Guard...

It seems that they have lost their hostile value either.

At this time, mutual hostility will only complicate what is already simple.

Eldred was the first to realize this, and he said with calmness in his words:

"Through this route, Winter's Claw can surprise the Greentooth Peak."

"You want to play big once?" Silas is miniaturized.

He just wanted to give Laxana a chance to show, but Eldred's intentions were much bigger than his own.

The power chain is used to create a >

Greentooth Peak, which is more than just a mountain near the northern mountains.

There, the most famous knights of dragon birds in Demacia are guarded.

And Nat back then was the deputy head of the Dragonbird Knights.

The Dragonbird Knights and the Light Shield Barrier, the two elite legions of Demacia controlled by the Light Shield family.

All other armies are under the command of the crownguard.

As the generalissimo of Demacia, Tiyana is also a member of the Crownguard family, coupled with the great feats she has made before, she has a high prestige in the hearts of all Demacian soldiers.

For the Crown Guard family, the only obstacles that may arise are the Light Shield Barrier and the Green Tooth Peak.

"As an assistant to the next generation of the crown, you are not qualified enough." Eldred said lightly.

Without enlightenment, there is no success.

"Tell me about your plans."

Silas gave Eldred a deep gaze and made a gesture of deafness.

Before he entered the dungeon, Eldred, one of the Demon Seekers, was the target of his cult

At that time, he was just an ordinary demon seeker who had been placed under discipline, and Eldred was already the leader of the famous demon seeker army.

He never denied his ambitions, but after following Laxana, he also knew that what the other party needed was not a beast with brute force, and he had a lot to learn.

"Make a trail of passage and leave some corresponding information." Eldred said calmly.

"Why don't you go straight to them?" Silas frowned slightly, they didn't have that much time.

"Don't leave your enemies in any hands, always remember that your enemies are more desperate than you are to find a solution to the dilemma of the moment." Eldred glanced at Silas with a warning in his eyes.

They weren't here to put themselves on the hook, and if one of the two of them showed up, it could be said to be a personal act.

But when the two of them appeared at the same time, it could only be the meaning of the crown guard family.

When the plan was about to succeed, he would not allow anything to go wrong.

"Understood." Silas nodded earnestly, "First walk the news that Greentooth Peak is going to send troops within them, and then let them find this path on their own, and then they will strike first." ”

"Let's do it, I'll take care of the news." Eldred said lightly.

Having someone who is not too stupid to share the pressure with him will also be a lot easier.

"Good! This path to the Green Tooth Peak, I will let them know about it inadvertently. The corners of Silas' mouth curled slightly.

The two looked at each other, and their respective figures disappeared into the snow.
