At the table on the first floor, Lester and Rose were sitting elegantly enjoying breakfast.

"Lester, it's been half a year since you came to me, right?"

Looking at the small crumbs hanging from the corner of Rose's mouth, Lester gently hooked his fingers, and then put it in his mouth in front of Rose, red-faced, with more pampering in his eyes.

"Since you brought me home to today, to be exact, 172 days, three hours and fifty-two minutes, but I feel like yesterday."

"Yes, the days with you are so fast that I always feel that it is not enough."

"It's okay, we don't have the first half of our lives, and we have the second half of our lives, it's enough."

"Hee-hee, you're really good at talking~"

When Rose cleaned up the table, the woman sat down next to Lester and gently hugged the man.

"Lester, now that you can understand Noxian, can you tell me your story?" Are you really a remnant of some ancient ruin? What is the beautiful language in your mouth? Where did your clothes come from? Was it designed by an ancient civilization? ”

As if he didn't expect the woman to ask himself this, Lester was stunned, and his face was a little sad.

"Don't be sad, don't say it if you don't want to."

Rose's face was a little more remorseful.

"It's okay, even this life of mine is yours, and I have nothing I can't say in front of you."

Holding the woman in front of him sadly, Lester's voice was extremely sincere.

"Maybe I'm really an ancient relic, most of my memories are lost, except for the name and the great language engraved in the depths of my soul, I only remember that I was in the ice and snow, a light flashed, and I appeared in the square of the city, I didn't know anyone, I didn't understand what they said, everyone pointed their spears at me, the world was cold and dark...... Until you appear in front of me. ”

As if moved by the man's sincerity, the woman's body stiffened, and she patted the man's back with her backhand and comforted.

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to work hard to lose something, there will always be a day when you will find it...... It's just, Lester, I find that I can't do without you, promise me that no matter what happens, we will face it together, and don't leave me, okay? ”

A faint smile crossed the corners of his mouth, and Lester's arms tightened.

"Silly girl, how could I leave you...... It's just Nadalz's side......"

"He? I've been busy fighting, I guess I've forgotten about you a long time ago, and I'll tell him when he remembers, it's okay, I'll deal with him. ”

"Rose, you're so good to me......"

"You just need to know...... That, Lester, I suddenly want to teach you Ionian......"

"Then let's go upstairs, I just want to learn too...... Or is it the same as Demacian, where 'um', 'ah' and 'don't' are taught at the beginning? ”

"Dead ghosts! Not serious~"

On the other side, in front of Nadalz, Meredith, a member of the Black Rose, conveyed a message from Lady Rose.

"Master Nadalz, Ms. Rose said that the stupid ancient remnant had just learned the most basic uses of Noxus, and his vocabulary was not enough to communicate with others, so he could only express himself with a simple 'um' or 'ah' to roughly understand, but in fact he still couldn't understand it, and he couldn't use it to communicate at all."

Hearing Meredith say this, Nadalz's face flashed with pride and pride.

"Sure enough, I have a good face in white, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn Noxian by the end of this year, but it only took me four months to learn the use of 'um' and 'ah' with my mother, and there is still a gap between that ancient remnant and me."

"Yes, Lord Nadalz."

Leaning over and saluting, Meredith's voice was extraordinarily sincere.

"Your wisdom is unmatched."

……

Noxian calendar, 1 AD.

The flames of war rekindled, and the situation that had been safe and secure became precarious in an instant.

Out of dissatisfaction with the Lockhee tribe who occupied the immortal fortress, the Mostaq barbarian tribe in the north united with the Upol barbarian tribe, and on the condition of freely plundering the population and wealth of Noxus, they gathered a number of rogue groups led by the Guillotine bandit group and began to raid the villages in the Noxus territory.

The border villages were soon plundered, the heads of the villagers and the Noxian patrols were cut off by marauders and robbers, planted in rows of wooden poles, houses were reduced to ashes, and women were abused to death.

The Mostaq barbarians, who had tasted the sweetness, burned and looted all the way, fighting to nourish the war, from the Dalmo Plains in the northwest of the Immortal Fortress to less than one hundred and ten kilometers away from the Immortal Fortress, and were stopped by the Black Rose Mage Regiment that arrived with difficulty.

Relying on the three peaks of Pagrus to the east and the Gorrell Mountains to the west, the Noxian soldiers established a defensive line along the village of Nota, adjacent to the first branch of the Black Iron River to the north, and relying on the rock magic of the mages, the walls built overnight became a roadblock for barbarians and bandits to plunder the immortal fortress......

Getting up from his third wife's bed overnight, Nadalz didn't even have time to put on his shirt, and quickly walked through the aristocratic quarter shirtless, and arrived at the battle conference room on the upper floor of the fortress.

By the time he pushed the door open, Lady Rose, representing the Black Rose Underground, and Stan Erda, the leader of Noxus supporters representing non-Rocky clans, were already seated in their respective seats.

"How's it going?"

Panting, Dort took out a sheepskin scroll from his bag and handed it to Nadalz, taking the sheepskin scroll, and a handwritten letter from Brent, the commander of Noxus stationed in the village of Nota, appeared in front of him.

"The great leader of Noxus, Lord Nadalz, as I began to write, the bloodthirsty beasts of Mostak attacked us again,

My men, with the help of the Black Rose Mage, managed to capture a Centurion of Mostak, and also learned terrible and unfortunate news from the mouth of that cowardly traitor,

The raiders, led by the Decapitator bandits, had bypassed the Gorrell Mountains two days earlier, and had gone south from the western side of the mountains, burning and looting.

Judging by my experience, the cavalry of the vanguard of the bandits and bandits is likely to have reached the middle of the Gorrell Mountains.

My lord, these bandits are brutal and cunning, they have a cavalry of nearly a hundred men, and they will kill all the heralds who want to deliver the news to the Immortal Fortress, so if you have not received bad news from the West, please be prepared for war and do everything possible to deal with those difficult cavalry,

The butcher's knives of the robbers are at my feet, and I will defend the territory and defenses of Noxus with my life, and intercept the main force of the Mostak barbarians north of the village of Tano.

Noxus, fight to the death! Noxus, till death rest!

--Brent. Wright"

Putting down the parchment letter in his hand, Nadalz's breathing became a little heavier.
