A large white mist fell from the sky, blurring everyone's vision.

Flowing water and falling flowers are fleeting, but some things will be remembered forever.

Laxana calmed her emotions and once again raised her head on the top of the Colossus of Justice, overlooking the land of Xiongdu, the people who lived here, the perennial ice of the north...

There is still a long way to go...

She took a deep breath, regaining her old belief in regrouping, and then let her firm voice cover the entire magnificent square:

"I'm sure you'll remember that not long ago, Demacia established friendly relations with its former enemy Noxus and abolished the ban, so that the shackles that had been on Demacia were abolished......"

Her words aroused great resonance among the people below.

Except for the Claws of Winter, which still roams the northern ice fields, their country's situation is completely different now.

Noxus, to the east, will not only not try to invade them now. And they also unexpectedly found that those men from Noxus were unusually easy to get along with.

Especially in this sudden snowstorm, many Demacians have been blessed by the Noxians in recent rescue operations.

If it weren't for the help of the allies, they would have frozen to death in the extreme cold.

Even at this moment, Xiongdu Square is full of civilians who have been rescued by the Noxians.

And the ban on demons is, indeed, as Laxana said, a politically correct order on the surface.

But in reality, it is also a shackle that imprisons freedom.

Magic has been hurting Demacia, from every aspect of life.

But this damage does not come from the uncontrollable nature of magic, but from the extremes of the ban.

The people of Demacia today are different from their ancestors hundreds of years ago.

They hadn't experienced the Rune Wars firsthand, and they didn't reject magic in their hearts, but sometimes wondered if their lives would be better off if Demacia had admitted to magic.

If it had been... If there was no ban on magic at the beginning of the country, would their lives be different?

As a matter of fact, their lives are indeed much better.

No longer have to worry about yourself or your loved ones getting enchanted, and you don't have to worry about the life of mages in search of them.

Instead, mages will now keep them safe.

Every year on Eclipse Night, some of the Demacians who live around the coastline disappear.

Eclipse Night, which is the annual spread of the Hundred Ghosts caused by the Shadow Isle, always causes some damage to Demacia.

However, due to the abolition of the ban this year, a large number of released mages were stationed along the coastline, and the scattered spirits were soon discovered and killed.

This time on the night of the Eclipse of the Soul, it is rare that no one died...

Not to mention, they're now using magical civilian products from Noxus.

They also hope that one day, their own country will be able to produce these products.

And these are things that they couldn't have thought of before.

Right now... But it slowly became a fact.

All of this change came from Laxana's suggestion, and they always remembered it.

Seraphine stood on the roof of the embassy, listening to the inner monologue of the people in the square, smiling and clutching the hair flowing from her ears.

Demacia... What a bunch of pure people.

Thinking of the task given to her by her teacher, the stage under her feet suddenly lit up with blue fluorescence.

Her red lips were slightly open, and her mouth seemed to be singing something, but no sound came out.

Bobbi gave Salephani a strange look... She faintly heard her singing, as if it were singing the praises of Demacia and Laxana.

A Demacian and a Noxian stood together, and... The Demacians were forced to become Noxians, and as for the Noxians...

Not... She's singing the praises of Demacia. Look, what a strange story.

As Seraphine's silent melody spreads outward, the people of Demacia suddenly feel that Laxana's voice has a more powerful rendering power.

They seemed to see that, under the leadership of Laxana, Demacia was slowly innovating, ushering in more opportunities and achieving more good changes.

They subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Laxana standing above Galio's head, who was as bright as light today.

"We have been blessed by our ancestors and have become what Demacia is today. But it's time to look at the whole world, which is constantly changing, and these changes are also impacting us..."

“…… Our ally, Noxus, has changed dramatically since Trefali came to power in the two years since Trefali came to power. This change is not just about their culture, economy, military and politics, it is even affecting every aspect of our lives..."

“…… Demacia and Noxus are known as the two most powerful kingdoms of mankind. But today, our allies have left us behind..."

Laxana opened her arms, facing the sky, and made an all-inclusive gesture:

"It's time for us to forget the glory of the past, base ourselves on the present, be down-to-earth, and face the future with a new attitude."

"Demacia... Yongchang Wanshi!! ”

At that moment... Under everyone's gaze, it was as if there was a crown of magic glowing with silver-white light, slowly condensing on top of Laxana's head.

In the convincing eyes of all the people...

In the eyes of all the people...

Under the admiring gaze of all the people...

A new king is crowned here!

Many people spontaneously bowed down and walked in the direction of Laxana, like the previous eight officials, and performed a courtier etiquette.

They agree from the bottom of their hearts that Laxana is the new king of Demacia...

'Crowned Guard I! Empress of Radiance! Laxana Crownback! ’

Suddenly, these titles suddenly appeared in the hearts of all Demacians.

Such as... That's how it should be...

Laxana raised her gaze slightly, and her gaze met that of Seraphine not far away, and the two of them crossed their gazes.

A smile appeared on the corner of Seraphine's mouth, and she muttered in an imperceptible voice:

"Senior sister, you want to rely on yourself and get rid of the shackles of the empire. But this is the will of the teacher, the shadow of Noxus, that will always hang over Demacia. ”

As the words fell, Seraphine withdrew her gaze and steered the stage backwards.

Poppy, who didn't know why, asked blankly, "Hey, aren't we going to look at it anymore?" ”

"The Radiant Empress of Demacia has ascended the throne, and it's time for me to prepare to return to Noxus." Seraphine looked at her with a smile.

Bobby raised her head, looked at Seraphine's smiling face, and whispered with a tangled face:

"That's right... So what am I going to do now...? She's a big hero, but she doesn't seem to need my hammer. ”

In her mind, Laxana was definitely the most qualified hero she had ever seen.

But when she looked at the glorious figure standing on Galio, she had to admit in her heart...

Oren's hammer is not for Laxana.

She remembered a sentence from Laxana's speech just now...

"The hero Oron created a starting point for Demacia, but now, what the elders left behind is no longer necessarily applicable. Now, they have changed their eyes and faces to meet the future of Demacia. ”

When he heard this, Poppy had the heart to retort... But she also realized...

Demacia today is not the same as Demacia hundreds of years ago...

Once Oron, as a hero, led the whole of Demacia forward.

But Laxana wants everyone in Demacia to become their own heroes, to meet and witness Demacia's new future together.

While Poppy was staying where she was, tiptoe to the ground, she suddenly heard Seraphine's soft words in front of her:

"Maybe Laxana doesn't need it, but in Runeterra, heroes are still needed."

Need... Hero... That's right, heroes!

Poppy jerked her head up, her eyes shining ahead, and her previous struggles and frustrations were swept away and replaced by a full rush of eagerness.

Oh, yes! "Hero" doesn't just refer to someone in Demacia.

"Hero" is a symbol of honor, the embodiment of faith, and a moral character that should be passed down.

When Oren first set foot in this ambitious emerging country, it was with such a brave, tenacious and inclusive belief!

Now Demacia is about to embark on a new journey.

Perhaps, Oren's hammer is no longer needed here.

But in all corners of the world, there is always a place, a group of people, waiting for their heroes.

What she has to do is to combine Oren's character...

Pass it on!

"Hey, Seraphine!"

Bobby excitedly waved his hammer and shouted:

"Do you mind having one more companion when you go back this time?"

"Of course not, Noxus welcomes anyone."

"Haha! Great, I'm looking in Noxus, there should be the hero I want! ”

Poppy laughed and jumped up and down to catch up with Seraphine with her hammer.

Start with Demacia... It's gone... Well, it seems like 700 years.

It's also time for her to go out and take a look, she believes that in this world, there must be a hero waiting to take over the holy hammer in her hand!

The people in the Grand Square were still in the zeal of the new king's accession to the throne, and Lucian and Senna quietly left the place.

"If it's her... I'm sure you'll be able to stop Shadow Island. Senna had a complicated expression.

Just now, she witnessed with her own eyes what it means to be united in all people.

She had never seen such a grand scene, and the girl in the center of the cheers was like a unique magic that could convince and follow everyone.

"Perhaps, we can test it tonight, we have to unite all our forces." Lucian's voice was slightly quicker. He always felt a deep sense of urgency about it.

But having said that, the recognition of Sena's words in his eyes was also unmistakable.

If even Laxana can't do it, then he really can't figure out how they can save the world...

Suddenly, in the upper position of them, in the window of a delicate stone building, a voice came:

"You two, you look a little novice, would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

Lucian and Senna were shocked, they didn't even notice that there was someone up there just now.

Senna frowned and looked at a girl with pink hair half-lying on the edge of the whitestone-wrapped window, and at this time she beckoned to the two with a smile in her eyes, and the invitation just now was sent by her.

Lucian and Senna glanced at each other, and after understanding each other's thoughts, Lucian met each other's gaze and said in a deep voice:

"Ma'am, it's a pleasure to have your invitation."

They didn't intend to refuse each other's invitations, and the moment they looked up just now had already made them recognize where it was.

Noxus Bank...

The people who can invite them here are likely to be from the most powerful countries on that continent.

That's their next target, so they're naturally willing to get in touch with their people first.

Unite all the forces that can unite and fight the invasion of the Shadows together, this is what they are doing...
