Chapter 102 Riven's past! Another wind-controlling sword!
The trial of the case is still ongoing.

Yasuo held his breath. The truth about Elder Suma's death was about to come to light.

"Why didn't you submit it before?"

The judge's eyes were fixed on her target.

"I have been here,"

The hall attendant said, trying his best to avoid looking at the warrior priest standing next to the broken sword.

"But Master said it doesn't matter."

The magistrate did not need to avoid looking at the warrior priest.

"You come," she ordered.

She handed the shard of metal to the warrior priest.

"Put it with the rest."

The warrior priest glared at the hall servant, but accepted the order.

He walked towards Riven's broken sword, and at the last moment turned to the judge and said:

"There is a dark magic attached to this weapon, Magistrate. We don't know what this fragment will bring."

"Complied."

The magistrate's tone left no room for doubt.

The warrior priest turned around.

All eyes in the parliament hall were watching with bated breath.

He placed the twisted and broken piece of metal close to the tip of the broken sword.

……

The audience outside the screen were also watching with bated breath.

Everyone was full of doubts.

If it was really Riven who killed Elder Suma,
Then why did she return to this village?
But if she is not the murderer,

So why did the fragments of this rune sword appear in Elder Suma's body?
This is why Yasuo didn't act immediately.

He was patiently searching for the answer.

He is the one who was wronged.

No more innocent souls will be convicted.

……

The weapon lay quietly.

The judge breathed a sigh of relief. The Broken Sword did not seem to pose any danger.

But Riven heard her sword begin to roar.

"Please be kind," she cried out.

She tried to make her voice heard above the noise in the hall.

She struggled to break free.

"You must listen carefully."

The sound is getting louder and louder.

Now everyone can hear and feel it.

The villagers panicked and pushed and shoved each other to try to retreat.

The judge stood up immediately, her hands reaching toward the wooden table beneath the broken sword.

The edges of the table began to grow and bend, new branches sprouting from the wood to wrap around the weapon, but Riven knew its magic could not be contained.

"Everyone get down!" Riven yelled.

But the roar of the greatsword drowned out her voice, drowned out all sound, and the weapon began to emit a piercing tone.

Suddenly, the energy of the runes burst out, mixed with broken wood chips.

A strong gust of wind knocked down all those who were standing.

……

wind!
This thick sword with runes carved all over its body has changed its appearance.

Among the broken wood of the table, the great sword and its scabbard lay.

The broken sword body emitted green energy arcs.

The warrior-priest bent over and grasped the hilt. He lifted the greatsword with both hands, feeling its weight.

Although the cracks still exist, the weapon is still intact.

Yasuo's eyes narrowed.
He scratched his nose.

Walk to the corner and examine the new chest-high cut in the wall.

This is in a state where no one is driving.

This was caused by the wind blades created out of thin air by this magical greatsword.

He felt the strong breath of wind element.

Just like his wind-controlling swordsmanship.

Following Yasuo's actions,
The audience in front of the screen also noticed this element! The truth about Elder Suma's death gradually surfaced.

He was indeed killed by the Yufeng sword technique!

But it's not Yasuo.

But it was another wind-controlling sword!
……

——"Oh my god! What kind of weapon is this!"

——"The sword is broken into pieces! How can you hold it together and pick it up?"

——"Didn't you hear what the warrior priest said? There is dark magic on this sword!"

——"What is the origin of this weapon?"

——"We should talk about Riven's origins! This rune sword is her weapon!"

——"It seems that this white-haired woman is not simple!"

In everyone's opinion, the evidence was now completely conclusive!

This is because this rune sword can also control the wind.

This is why people mistakenly thought that it was Yasuo who killed Elder Suma!
Because he is the only one in the village who knows how to use the Wind Control Sword Technique!

But now, another wind-controlling sword appeared!
Everyone in the meeting room looked at Riven.

Riven's lips were cold and her cheeks were hot.

Riven seemed to see that scene again!
The picture on the big screen,

And showed that scene to all the audience!
That is the battlefield between Noxians and Ionians!

Riven wields her rune sword,

Leading her soldiers to the front!

Her mission this time was to escort a carriage full of fragile amphorae.

And where they fought,

It’s the valley next to the village!
The dark secrets hidden in that rainy night were gradually revealed!
Riven led her team to fight bravely.

But they could not resist the increasing number of Ionian warriors.

When she was about to ask for help from the army behind her,
Her answer was a flaming arrow,

Galloping from the ridge!

The burning arrow hit the carriage directly.

Riven instinctively drew her sword, but it was too late. She was the only one she could protect.

Chemical flames burst out from the ruptured containers, and screams filled the night air.

Every Ionian and Noxian in the valley died in bloody agony.

Only Riven survived - the magic on the greatsword protected her from the burning poisonous mist.

But she could only watch this horrific scene of death.

……

"I see! No wonder the battle was already over when Yasuo rushed to the battlefield!"

That rainy night changed Yasuo's fate forever.

And now, everyone finally knows what happened on the battlefield in the valley that night!
In the commentary booth, Director Guo Fan connected the story for the audience, saying:

"It seems that Riven's team was betrayed by the Noxian officers!"

Her team is like bait.
Lure out more Ionian warriors!

But the alchemical potions in the clay jars that filled the carriage meant that

This is no longer a war of Noxian expansion.

It turned into an act of extermination against the enemy, regardless of the cost.

……

The ghosts in Riven's mind, the memories she had buried deep, now all came pouring out, vividly.

They were Ionian peasants, men, women, and children, villagers who refused to bow down to Noxus. They all watched her. They harassed her. They knew her crimes!
They were her warriors, her brothers and sisters, willing to sacrifice themselves for the glory of the Empire, and yet she had killed them all.

She led her warriors under the banner of Noxus, the banner that had promised them home and meaning.

But in the end, they were all betrayed and abandoned.

All were killed in the war.

"I did it."

Empty words left Riven's lips.

She will accept her fate and be at the mercy of this group of people.

She would let them finish their trial and then be punished for their crimes.

"I killed your elders,"

She spoke to everyone. She could barely breathe, and her piercing confession filled the hall.

"I killed them all."
