Chapter 118 Power and Glory, Darius & Draven

"It is obvious from the details that Darkwill was conquering wars everywhere and wasting national strength, but Leblanc did not intervene to stop it."

"She herself doesn't really care about Noxus's life or death."

"And we need to find out the reason."

"It also dates back to the period after Mordekaiser returned to the underworld."

"At that time, the Noxhi tribe established a new city-state with the Immortal Fortress as its foundation."

“That is, the predecessor of Noxus.”

"At this time, the Noxhi tribe was still a barbarian tribe and had not yet formed a national ideology."

"They are better at using brute force than intelligence and magic."

"So, Leblanc and Black Rose didn't pay much attention to them."

"Later."

"In order to avoid the Rune War, the Noxians hid in the Undying Bastion and escaped the catastrophe."

"When the war was over, they rebuilt Noxus around the Immortal Bastion."

"And Noxus at this time is no longer the primitive tribes and small city-states that survived only by barbaric force."

"So, out of concern that the secrets of the Immortal Fortress might be leaked."

“LeBlanc quickly gathered the power of the Black Rose and took control of Noxus, thus starting a series of subsequent stories.”

"So, in general."

"LeBlanc wants to control Noxus so that she can monopolize the power of the Immortal Bastion."

"only."

"She planned everything, but she never expected Swain to be used as a pawn."

"Someday in the future."

"With the blessing of luck, I will master the dark power of the Immortal Fortress before her."

"Then he rose rapidly to the point where he could compete with her."

"At this moment."

"Even Leblanc couldn't help but ask herself if her old enemy might have really appeared."

[“Fuck, I didn’t expect that.”]
[“Yeah, if Su Shen hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed these details and logic, but now I finally understand.”]
[“Yes, that’s very convincing.”]
[“After thousands of years, there is finally someone who can fight against Sister Yaoji.”]
[“Moreover, he rose from an ordinary man to become a wise general. He is indeed worthy of being called the peerless wise general by Su Shen!!”]
That's it.

The entire story of Iron Blood Empire is concluded.

Su Xinghe had already stepped down from the stage, but everyone was still immersed in the plot that had just happened, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

About ten minutes passed.

It was not until the second champion, Han Sinian, came to the central podium under the guidance of the referee that everyone gradually came back to their senses.

[“Alas, how can it end like this? I feel like there is still a lot that Su Shen hasn’t said.”]
[“For example, the representative of the armed forces has not yet been revealed.”]
[“Let’s wait for his subsequent story.”]
[“It’s boring. After listening to him, listening to others will definitely be boring.”]
[“It doesn’t matter. I’ve already had a great time. I’ll just use the rest of the time to rest and relax.”]
After adjusting the equipment, it's quick.

Han Sinian began his story.

At this moment, more than half a day had passed since the start of the competition, and the third and fourth champions had also been born and were waiting silently in the back.

And then the time.

Su Xinghe was sitting in the contestant's chair under the stage, resting and listening to other contestants telling their stories.

Until the afternoon of the next day.

All eight contestants told the entire story of the first theme, The Iron-Blooded Empire.

Morning of the third day.

The second game begins.

Sa Xiaoning went on stage to draw the theme of the competition.

The light fell, and five large characters appeared.

Power and Glory

Same as before.

After the competition started, the contestants worked on their ideas and drafts in cubicles.

Su Xinghe was not in a hurry this time, but stayed inside for about ten minutes.

Then, continue to grab the first ring.

"Oh?" Chen Kaige said strangely, "This kid is finally more stable this time."

Liu Ciping smiled and said, "Maybe he has prepared something special. Let's wait and see."

Soon.

Su Xinghe came to the center of the stage.

He looked at the electronic screen in front of him and wrote down two sentences and two names.

[I will never tolerate cowardice.]

[——Darius]

[With an axe in hand, all we need is prey.] [——Draven]

[“Look at the name.”]
[“Another brother?!”]
[“I suddenly thought of Yasuo and Yongen again. I look forward to what kind of exciting story will happen between them.”]
[“What a powerful and domineering line. It seems that these two people are not easy to deal with.”]
This time, Su Xinghe did not start telling the story directly, but instead put on a brain-computer helmet.

Then, he displayed what he had just written on the screen.

For an instant.

Words intertwine with mental images.

The story begins, and the animation-like plot begins to be played on the big screen.

Noxus

"Outside the city, on top of a high mountain."

The north wind was howling and the clouds were hanging low.

"Bang--"

A piece of rock was crushed and rolled down from the steep cliff, falling dozens of meters into the air.

The boy was startled.

He tilted his head and looked down, the deep and invisible valley bottom made him feel dizzy.

"Darius?"

Behind him to the left, the girl looked up at the boy worriedly.

Then, he grabbed the protruding part of the rock above with his right hand with difficulty, and then stepped his boots on the edge of the rock to stabilize his body.

The boy looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with a resolute face and sharp features, and a scar running through his left eye was clearly visible.

The girl had golden hair and was very beautiful even at such a young age.

"It's okay, Quelleta." The boy turned around and gave the girl a forced smile. "Look, we're almost at the top of the mountain."

He took a deep breath, and climbed up again with his hands, while shouting to the girl:
"You must follow me closely!"

Quilieta nodded solemnly, then began to move, moving slowly along Darius' climbing path.

The wind whistled continuously, rustling the clothes of both people.

A few minutes later.

Quelleta suddenly stopped moving.

She clung to the rock wall, breathing slightly heavily, and her hands began to tremble unconsciously.

She knew that this was a sign that her physical strength was almost exhausted, so she stopped and rested in time.

Look up.

The boy had already reached the edge of the top of the cliff with both hands.

At this time, you just need to hold on to the rock wall and use your arms to easily reach the top.

A smile appeared on the girl's face.

He is about to succeed!

however.

Just when she was looking forward to it.

Accidental sudden birth.

Just listen to a "click".

The rock wall that the boy was holding onto with both hands suddenly shattered. He lost his balance in an instant and fell backwards.

"Darius!!"

The girl screamed, her eyes full of despair.

——Voiceover——

“I heard that when a person is dying.”

"A person's life will fly by before his eyes like a horse's eye view of flowers."

"But to me as a teenager, it was all bullshit."

"I almost fell off a cliff and was buried in the valley."

"During those few seconds of falling in the air, what came to my mind was not the vivid memories of the past, but the resentment of having unfulfilled ambitions."

"At that time, my brother, Quelleta and I were determined to conquer the world."

"But at that time, I had to go first in such a ridiculous way."

“I find it ridiculous.”

"But fortunately, Quelleta caught me in time and kept me alive."

"We also made a pledge on the top of the mountain, facing the Immortal Fortress in the center of the city."

"we will--"

"Never separate, stay together forever."
