The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

Chapter 167: Katarina's Choice

'Family, kingdom. ’

Four words appeared on the page.

Seeing this, Laxana fell silent.

She doesn't really understand.

But when I saw the four words on the magic book, I had to admit in my heart...

The Crown Guard is no different from any other family.

'What do you think of this incident? ’

Seeing the words reappearing on the page, Laxana thought for a while and slowly wrote on the magic page:

'I think the whole thing this time around was what Noxus expected, and they did everything. ’

‘It’s true to sign a peace treaty, and it’s true to return the Flying Wings Protector. It just turned the battle on the bright side to the dark side. ’

Laxana's thoughts emerged like spring water, and she wrote:

'Demacia is more afraid of this kind of battle than the invasion of Noxus' bright side. For hundreds of years, we have been gathered here for what is most righteous. but now...'

'Noxus is constantly dismantling this, causing suspicion among Demacians and quarrelling among nobles over petty profits. ’

'...'

She took a deep breath and wrote down everything she thought.

But unfortunately, no matter what she thought, even if most of the Demacians understood, the result was not destined to change.

Demacia can't solve the most fundamental problems now, and most Demacians know it well, so instead they turn their eyes and eyes inward.

'What do you think is the way to break the game now? ’

The magic book is like a tutor who tests the knowledge of the students, and poses the test questions.

Laxana looked and shook her head with sadness on her face.

But in the end, she still wrote two words with difficulty:

'No solution! ’

As if feeling that this is not enough, she goes on to add:

'I can understand Aunt and their concerns, because fundamentally, Demacia's defeat is a foregone conclusion. ’

'Strength... Demacia's strength is too weak. ’

'Our most powerful gods have been defeated, and most of us know in their hearts that once Noxus is recharged, we are lambs to be slaughtered. ’

‘Demacia still has the courage to break the bank, but with the signing of the peace treaty, this spirit will become weaker and weaker. Coupled with the constant provocation of Noxus, the whole of Demacia will be destroyed bit by bit. ’

There was intolerance and sadness on her face, but she knew she couldn't change anything.

Since Kyle's defeat, Demacia's downfall has been doomed.

Noxus is not a peaceful empire, they were born to invade. Everyone knew that they would not pass up the opportunity to occupy Demacia.

And the current Demacia is completely unable to resist the invasion of the other party. Even the power gap is too big.

Now everyone can defend against a powerful enemy at any time with one heart, just because everyone still has the energy and is willing to die for the country.

As Noxus continued to sow discord within Demacia, the aura would slowly dissipate.

At that time, Noxus only needs to use a few border principalities to set a model and show the benefits after surrender. Then a lot of Demacians would have a different heart.

Everyone has parents and children, and no one wants to fight a war that cannot be won at the cost of their whole family...

Laxana looked frustrated, maybe the only thing she could do was cheer everyone up and try not to let Demacia collapse from within.

At least... let Demacia always have the determination to die.

'If you want to protect Demacia, there are two places you can go. ’

When Laxana saw this sentence, she was overjoyed and quickly wrote:

‘Which two places? ’

'The Dungeon of Demacia and the Colossus of Galio. ' The words appeared on the magic book.

Is it magic...

Laxana knew what these two places meant. One was the prison where many mages with a high risk factor were imprisoned, and the other was the Demacian colossus that symbolized war.

According to legend, the Colossus will wake up after absorbing a lot of magic and become the patron saint of Demacia.

Listen to what the magic book means...it's true.

Laxana nodded earnestly, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

......

Noxus, Floating Castle.

"The mood is good."

Ryan held a scroll of magic books and smiled at Katarina with long burgundy hair.

Katarina knelt down in front of her, respectfully as usual.

But unlike the previous leather dress, she put on exquisite black and red armor at this time, like a female general in a high position, and her whole person exudes an intimidating aura.

"Your Majesty, I, Caterina du Kekao, lead the Kekao family and the southern theater, and offer you my loyalty."

In her hands she held a magical seal, the family statute of Kekaor.

This oracle had been given to Ryan by du Quekkao, who passed it on to Catalina.

After that, Katarina went to the Southern War Zone, which was ruled by House Kekao, and carried out Trifali's orders.

Ryan has been following Katerina's deeds. Relying on her strength and Trifali background, she quickly established a prestige in the southern army.

In a few months, thanks to Ryan's speech and the establishment of the Explorers Guild...

Wherever Katarina's army went, the city-states of Shurima surrendered and Noxtoras were established.

In a very short period of time, the Noxian Black Gate has become a landmark for most Shurima city-states.

With little effort, swathes of Shurima's territory were incorporated into the Empire.

With these exploits, and Katarina's almost unmatched strength on the battlefield. She challenges her father, commander of the Southern Front, Du Quecao.

With her rapidly growing strength, she overcame her father and became commander of the Southern Front in the presence of all Noxian soldiers.

And this time back to the immortal fortress, in addition to completing the task given by the Trifali Council, she also wanted to hand over the law to Ryan to express her choice.

Ryan did not take the seal engraved with the mark of the Kekao family, but said lightly:

"Men Katarina, you and I are both Noxians."

Katarina's body trembled slightly when she heard the name. He knew very well that this was Ryan's approval for her.

"Your Majesty, I will always be your sharpest blade."

Katerina lowered her head very much, with reverence and respect on her face.

Whatever she achieved, it was thanks to Ryan's teachings.

If it wasn't for Ryan, she would have died at the hands of her father a year ago.

She knew very well that man, and if Ryan hadn't been there, she would have been abandoned by him, just like her poor sister...

"Don't be so serious, you will be leaving tomorrow, let me see your current strength today."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth, and he gently closed the page.

Katerina has been with him for a long time, and he is very aware of the other party's mind. After going through the war experience, she wanted to show herself in front of him.

The dark blue rune light flashed, and he and Katarina disappeared in place.

In an empty practice field under the floating castle, the figures of the two suddenly appeared.

Even in the underground of the floating castle, it is still brightly illuminated by the light.

Swish!

A black-red figure flashed by, and Katarina's momentary news was in place, and the dagger that had come to Ryan's back and mercilessly chopped off her hands reappeared.

She knew that no matter how she attacked, Ryan could not be hurt.

Ding!

Ryan turned his right hand behind his back, and the ring instantly turned into a black blade, blocking Katarina's blow.

"That's right, it took time to prepare before, but now it's the trick."

This is the trick he taught Katarina, Shunpo.

Tricks are derived from some ancient books of Ionia, born out of and distinct from magic. It can be regarded as the only magic style he knows that does not require magic talent to perform.

There are various manifestations, but most of them are related to swords, knives, and shadows.

"Your Majesty, this is not enough."

Katarina failed to hit, and reappeared dozens of meters away.

This time, she threw the dagger in her hand straight out, and the machete-like dagger drew an arc in the air.

When he was about to approach Ryan, he suddenly split into thousands, and dozens of identical blades rained down.

Facing this inevitable blow, Ryan's eyes flashed with admiration, he leaned back slightly, and quickly swung out the black blade in his hand.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Every collision between the dagger and the black blade makes a crisp sound, as if every dagger is real.

But whether true or not, every dagger was blocked by Ryan's precise block.

Most of the daggers dissipated after being cut off, and only one bullet flew to Ryan's left rear.

Katarina appeared there instantly and slashed out the dagger in her hand.

Ding!

When it was only an inch away from Ryan's neck, the dagger was stopped by the black blade.

"The attack did not reveal the killing intent, and it has grown a lot. The swordsmanship is well mastered, and can be divided into 13 at the same time. What about the others?"

Ryan was still standing, and Katarina's sharp attack didn't even make him move.

Based on the previous battle, he can already judge the current level of Katarina.

There is more than a hero level, but a master level has not yet arrived.

Whether it is physical quality or technique, it is no longer inferior to Delevingne.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Katerina's face was slightly condensed, and the two daggers in her hands flew towards Ryan at the same time.

At the same time, she seemed to have endless daggers in her hands, and threw them towards Ryan.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The black blade dance is airtight and does not give the dagger any chance to approach.

But Katerina's attack was obviously not that simple. The downed dagger did not dissipate this time, but turned around and hit Ryan again.

After all, Ryan is a single-handed blade, unable to resist daggers from all directions at the same time.

Behind his side, a dagger passed through the gap where the black blade danced and stabbed his white robe.

laugh!

As soon as the dagger touched the surface of the robe, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, unable to advance an inch.

"That's right." Ryan nodded with a smile, "Even a fully armed hero level might be defeated by you."

Daggers are just ordinary daggers, but the quantity can fully make up for the quality defects.

What's more, with Katarina's current physique, even Darius had to be a little concerned about the strength of the cut.

It didn't take a moment for Ryan to surround himself with more and more daggers, but Katarina also showed a struggling expression.

But she didn't give up. A large number of daggers almost drowned Ryan, stabbing Ryan at all angles, with almost no dead ends.

Countless daggers hovered around Ryan, as if to slash him.

Carter stared closely in front of her eyes, with a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, she clearly understood...

It seemed that she was attacking fast, but no dagger could hurt Ryan at all.

Ryan's body had a water film on its surface, which no matter how her dagger attacked, it couldn't penetrate.

"Do you know the difference between a hero and a grandmaster?" Ryan asked suddenly.

At the moment his voice fell, all the daggers exploded, almost all turned into phantoms.

Ding! Ding!

Two metal landings sounded, and the two previously thrown daggers fell at Katarina's feet.

Katerina glanced at where Ryan still hadn't moved, with a hint of loss in her eyes, and she quickly covered it up with the help of the gap when she bent over to pick up the dagger.

She pursed her lips and shook her head: "Your Majesty, I don't know how strong the master is, but I know I'm not strong enough."

"The difference between a hero and a master is the difference between you and a master. It lies in the concentration of power." Ryan said calmly.

The division of power in Runeterra is rather vague, as long as it can hit nearly 100 times the destructive power of Caitlyn's power, it can be regarded as a grandmaster.

It can be achieved by talent and physical fitness, it can be achieved with the help of no sacred artifact, it can be with the power of magic, or it can be learned some secret methods or power skills...

For Katarina, there are not many paths to choose from.

"Condensation of strength?" Katarina was a little puzzled.

She knew that Ryan was guiding her on the way forward, and she couldn't help but take a serious look on her face.

"That's a high-level test dummy made by Orianna. Let's take the first-order spell - water blade as an example."

Ryan gestured to the dummy in the corner of the practice ground. Two blue runes slowly formed in front of him and merged into a water blade.

"Under normal circumstances, spells won't even cause the dummy to react."

Swish!

The water blade slammed into the dummy's chest and suddenly splashed.

Under normal conditions, the power of the water blade is about three times the strength of Caitlin's full swing. And this time, the attack will not even cause the attack judgment of the advanced dummy.

"Your physical talent is not as strong as that of Darius, and your magical talent is almost zero. Either undergo transformation, or learn to condense power."

"And the so-called power condensing is the more damage caused when the physique or magic power remains unchanged."

A new water blade appeared in front of Ryan again. This time the water blade is smaller in size, but the color is deeper.

Swish!

Ryan waved his hand lightly, and the water blade swept through the air quickly, stabbing the dummy hard.

But this time, Katarina's eyes widened.

I saw that the seemingly small and powerless water blade actually pierced the armor made of rune steel and pierced a large gap.

"Attack Strength: Strong!"

Caterina fell silent when she heard a timely electronic sound.

The test dummies are not only used in the Zhanzheng Academy, but are also supplied on each front so that soldiers can test their strength.

She also tried so-called advanced dummies.

Even if she tried her best, she could only give a 'weak' rating.

And hitting "strong" is just a water blade from Ryan.

"What should I do?" Katerina asked.

Ryan turned his eyes to her and said flatly:

"Mages rely on their understanding of runes, and warriors rely on continuous strengthening of their physique. Assassins, they should learn how to cut everything with a sharp blade in their hands."

"Cut off everything..."

Katarina frowned, not even a single clue.

In that "Assassin's Creed", the technique of severing steel with a wooden sword was mentioned, but she had previously scoffed at it.

In her eyes before, assassins should focus on improving their own physique. If the attack isn't enough, get a better weapon.

Pursuing wood to cut steel is meaningless...

But now Ryan means...

Looking at her self-doubting face, Ryan couldn't help but smile:

"This is the path that ordinary assassins want to pursue, and you can choose a path that is more suitable for you."

He doesn't want to force Katerina, even if she is willing to accept mechanical transformation, he will not stop her, and will only provide her with better materials.

"Your Majesty, I want a weapon that can penetrate all defenses!" Katerina's eyes revealed seriousness.

She didn't think she could learn to use wood to cut steel and condense strength.

Compared with those who are blessed by nature, her talent is really weak.

Therefore, she is more aware of her own position, loyal, heroic, and honing skills...

A pure assassin, just learn **** the enemy.

When her physical strength can't keep up, she'll voluntarily accept all transformations just to follow behind him...

"Surprising idea." Ryan smiled slightly, "I have two such weapons in my hand now, corresponding to two tasks, are you interested?"

At Noxus, nothing comes for nothing.

What's more, one of them is still very dangerous, can he guarantee that there will be no problems.

"I'm willing to help!" Katarina got down on one knee.

Even without weapons, she will complete the task that Ryan ordered. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

She didn't intend to ask for it. As long as Ryan is willing to provide information, she can rely on her and her family's strength to obtain it.

"Remember the mission given by the commander?" Ryan asked.

"Guard Akzam's mausoleum and kill anyone who dares to approach." Katerina looked indifferent.

"The first task, follow Ezreal into the mausoleum and bring back one of the objects." Ryan said solemnly.

He and Syndra can basically be sure that there is a high probability that there is a world rune there.

But the restrictions there are too large, even if he gathers the power of Morgana and Syndra, he cannot forcefully enter it.

Once the secret hand left by the Ascension God is triggered, the entire mausoleum and the surrounding land will be turned into nothingness. He wasn't sure if the world runes would survive, and he wasn't willing to take the risk.

With the strength of him and Syndra, it is enough to send Katarina and Ezreal into it. In the eyes of Feisheng Tianshen, their strengths are just ants, and they will not trigger the arrangement they left at all.

"What do I want to get back?" Katerina asked seriously.

Her expression and eyes told Ryan that even if she died inside, she would bring that item back for him.

Ryan waved his hand lightly, and five-color phantoms appeared in the air:

"I'm not sure what it looks like, but it will be one of the five colors of yellow, red, green, blue, and blue. You can feel the power of magic when you get close."

"If you have an accident or see it, crush this."

As Ryan spoke, he handed Katerina a necklace with a dark blue gem hanging on it.

Through the semi-transparent surface of the gemstone, Katerina could clearly see many complex inscriptions engraved on it.

"I will take it back!"

Katerina solemnly took the necklace and hung it carefully around her snow-white neck.

She will never fail again!
