The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities

Chapter 196: The Crown Guard's Stance, The Lost Past

Tiana didn't answer, just looked at her quietly with a serious and embarrassed look.

Seeing this scene, Laksana had an answer in her heart, her brows furrowed unconsciously, her body leaned back slightly, and she deliberately avoided her aunt's gaze.

Although they are both crown defenders, the crown defender of "Demacia" and the crown defender of "Noxus" are not the same.

She can figure out the key to it.

Aunt Tiana didn't appear here by chance at all, she was just waiting for her to appear here.

If it wasn't for the rune's guardian, she would still be kept in the dark.

Laxana had never imagined that the Crownguard family had connections with Noxus.

"Demacia may perish, and we will be buried for the country. But..." Tiana threw a turning point.

"The Crown Guard should live on, Laxana, that's your calling!"

Tiana's expression was serious and solemn. She did not show any embarrassment after being discovered, but explained to Laxana with a solemn and pleading tone.

For her, life and death had obviously been put aside, and once the plan started, there was no reason to stop.

And the only thing that still worries her now is her family.

Fortunately, Laxana has grown up, and in the face of the current turbulent situation, whether the crown guard ascends to the top in Demacia or falls to Noxus, it can continue well.

"aunt..."

Hearing Tiana's words, Laxana fell silent. She lowered her eyes, her throat tightened, and she didn't know what to say at this time.

In this matter, perhaps no one is wrong.

Even she herself had inevitably thought that in order for some members of the family to live in peace, she would find a safe and secret place to settle them, especially her brother Galen.

There's nothing wrong with my aunt, she's just doing her own way to save the crown guard.

But...that's a hard thing to accept after all.

Laxanna dodged her eyes, obviously not wanting to discuss this issue, and shifted the topic:

"What do we do with this announcement from Noxus?"

"That mage named Ryze, do you have any clues?" Tiana glanced at the announcement, sighed softly, stretched out her hand to press on her temple, and asked with some headache.

Seeing that her aunt took the initiative to ask her about Ryze, Laxana nodded knowingly in her heart.

She understood that in Tiana's mind, the Crown Guard should do this.

"Well..." Laxana thought for a while in her heart, and said softly:

"Ryze, the guardian of the world's runes, one of the most powerful mages in the world."

"What is the world rune?" Tiana frowned slightly.

Although she didn't know what "World Rune" represented, years of experience made her keenly aware that "World Rune" might be the focus of Noxus's attention.

"Um..."

Laxana was silent for a while, as if recalling, gently rubbing the magic book in her hand, and after a while she said:

"The 'World Rune' is a magical power rich in magic power. The magical war a thousand years ago started because of it, and our ancestors fled to the land under their feet because of it."

"The mighty power that existed thousands of years ago..." Tiana murmured in a low voice, thinking in her eyes.

She was not surprised that Laksana knew so much about magic. She had always known that someone was secretly teaching her niece.

As a dyer, Laksana's control over magic is simply not comparable to others.

And the history of Demacia's founding reminded her of more information.

It is said that thousands of years ago, there were many stories of magic destroying a city, far from relying on legion battles to decide the outcome.

At that time, the moment the Mage shot, it already meant the countdown to the end of the war.

And the guardian who can be called the world rune, the mage named Ryze... The strength should not be underestimated.

"Such a powerful mage, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to even search for his trace." Tiana shook her head gently.

Of course she understood what Noxus meant by this announcement.

The other party wanted a tracking report, not an exact trail.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Perhaps it was because of her dissatisfaction with her attitude that she had always been vacuous and condescending, that Noxus chose such a way to let her express her firm stance and that of the Crownguard.

And trying to find a powerful mage now living in Demacia, this is the sincerity that their crown guard needs to pay.

As for the exchange group that visited later, and related reception matters, it was the key to their attitude.

After some analysis, this thing looks simple and clear on the surface, but in fact, the actual operation and process are quite complicated and slow.

Manpower, material resources, time, direction... Where to start...

Tiana closed her eyes slightly, and pressed her temples again. She sat on the high-back chair in the hall, frowning and thinking about how to prevaricate the announcement without a trace.

Seeing Aunt Tiana's headache, Laxana pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and finally said:

"Aunt, I know where Ryze is."

"What? You know!?" Tiana exclaimed.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Laxana in disbelief.

At this moment, Laxana knows Ryze and knows his whereabouts. Could it be...

Tiana subconsciously wanted to deviate, and decisively refused:

"No, you mustn't expose your cards, even if you're against Noxus."

Tiana suddenly understood why Laxanna knew so much information.

But Laxana's reaction surprised her very much. She saw Laxana lightly shake her head and said slowly:

"Aunt, I don't know Ryze. I just found out today that he came to Dawn Castle, just today."

"Castle of Dawn?" Tiana leaned forward, her expression slightly condensed, "Are you sure?"

"It's almost certain... Just before I came back, I felt a very strong magic power burst out from inside the Castle of Dawn, and only the guardian can do it." Na said truthfully.

It's just that in the process of telling, she concealed the dialogue with her teacher at that time.

She knew that Aunt Tiana knew of a teacher who taught her, but she wasn't sure who it was.

So she doesn't have to reveal too much about her teacher's identity.

The teacher was very kind to her, she didn't hide anything at all, and she didn't want to involve the other party in her family's affairs.

"Castle of Dawn... I should have guessed it!" Tiana's emotions were a little excited, and her tone rose a little unconsciously, "The Light Shield family has long been connected with the mage, that mage... I am afraid it is Guardian of the world's runes - Ryze."

"It should be like this." Laksana nodded slightly, expressing her approval.

But her heart was not as peaceful as she appeared.

Before, she thought that Ryze's strength was extremely strong, which made Noxus fear and even track him.

But now, Ryze...maybe forced by Noxus to hide.

What kind of powerhouse can force the guardian of the world's runes to hide in the XZ like a mouse in the stinky ditch?

Laxana was deeply curious about this, how strong was the unmasked President Trifali?

I don't know who is stronger and who is weaker than my teacher.

Just as Laxana's thoughts were racing, Tiana had already made a preliminary plan for this matter. She let out a breath, leaned back on the chair, her shoulders and neck sank, and her expression was obviously relieved.

She turned her eyes to Laxana, who was in a trance, with a hint of love for the younger generation in her eyes, and asked aloud:

"Do you think we should report the news about Ryze to Noxus?"

"Of course, even if we don't say it, the news of Ryze's appearance at Dawn Castle will soon be spread."

Laxanna watched her aunt's face, knowing that the other party had already made up her mind, and she only needed to give a satisfactory answer.

"Well, that's right."

Sure enough, Tiana nodded approvingly after hearing her answer. They all knew that this was just an insignificant piece of news.

It can almost be concluded that the current prince Jia Wen is disguised as a black rose, and what happened in Dawn Castle cannot be concealed.

"Then the exchange group will be entertained by you, but the most important thing at the moment is the people's referendum tomorrow." Speaking of business, Tiana put on a serious expression again.

"The matter of the referendum has been settled, but there is one thing I think..." Laxana opened her mouth and suddenly stopped talking.

She originally wanted to find a suitable time to bring this up to her aunt, but now that she has spoken about it, she was too quick to hold back her hope.

"What's up?"

Seeing Laxana's expression of hesitating to speak, Tiana was not in a hurry, but asked patiently.

Laxana raised her head, considered her words, and gathered up her courage to say seriously:

"Aunt, I want to release a mage. I can make sure he stays by my side. In tomorrow's referendum, I want him to be on the sidelines."

"You're talking about Silas," Tiana said bluntly.

The news that Laxanna often went in and out of the deepest dungeon could not be concealed from her.

If you look at the crimes Silas had committed, the punishment of 15 years in the dungeon is still too light, too light.

But if the other party can continue to serve Demacia, this can be regarded as atonement. For him, it is better than waiting to die in a dungeon.

"It's him..."

Laxana met Tiana's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and nodded lightly.

She thought that Silas would take the initiative to leave there, but she had asked the guards, Silas stayed quietly in the cell every day, holding the book she brought and reading silently.

The actions of the other party have gained her wholehearted trust.

Maybe she should give him a chance.

"You have to think carefully, he is indeed worthy of our trust." Tiana reminded aloud.

"I think he can now, and, I'm not going to let him out of my sight." Laxana added firmly after thinking about it.

Hearing the dialogue that appeared again, Tiana raised her chin slightly and looked at Laxanna's still childish face with surprise.

She suddenly understood the subtext that the other party said.

His own niece already had enough power to suppress Silas.

"There will be a defense shift at the Demon Seeker headquarters tonight, and your uncle will call up the manpower to explain some things." Tiana said with relief.

"Thank you aunt and uncle."

Laxana thanked her in a brisk tone, showed a bright smile, and bowed earnestly to Aunt Tiana and an vacant seat.

After doing this, the two of them chatted a few more words, and then separated...

On the way back to the room, Laxanna held the magic book, her footsteps were lighter than ever.

Tonight and tomorrow may be a new beginning.

She thought expectantly.

......

Where the twilight is thin, the sand is surging.

Soang Sasha Waterfall.

A spectacle located on the west side of Mount Jushen.

According to legend, this is the end of the desert, and all the yellow sand will come to an end here.

Endless tidal surges of yellow sand have carved passages between the rocks, pouring down the rugged passages into the canyon cracks, forming magnificent sand waterfalls on the edge of the cliffs.

Opposite the Soang Sasha waterfall, there is a new-looking wooden house on the rocky bulge.

At this moment, Aatrox was walking on the bulge of the rock, carrying a huge sword on his back, and walking in the direction of the sand waterfall with his eyes blank.

He couldn't hear the rustling of the yellow sand flowing in his ears, and his eyes couldn't see the faint light in the sky. He was just an empty body.

Driving the function of walking and standing, in addition to destruction and hatred for the protoss, there is only darkness and desolation.

But there was one thing he still remembered.

That's his old name...

Aatrox.

Thousands of years ago, his body had turned into ashes and dust, and only his immortal spirit was forever enclosed in the great sword he carried, the weapon that had accompanied him on countless expeditions.

He often couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead, the only thing he knew was that the world would come to an end in his hands.

No, that wasn't actually his original idea.

But his original appearance, his original beliefs, his original pursuits... At the beginning... he doesn't remember all of them.

At a certain moment, when he "woke up", all he felt was darkness, an impenetrable eternal darkness.

He couldn't breathe, he couldn't walk, he couldn't stand up straight... The weapon was a prison, locking his consciousness in eternal darkness, even depriving him of the ability to self-destruct.

The darkness suffocated him, tormented him with pain.

He struggled with the hellish shackles for hundreds of years, until some utterly stupid nameless man grabbed the greatsword again.

Aatrox seized the opportunity, forcibly injected his will into the host's body, and imitated his original image to reshape the host's body, while also taking the host's life.

However, the bodies of mortals are too weak after all, and their lives are as short as summer insects.

He longs for a stronger body and a better host!

In the years that followed, Aatrox invaded many hosts in order to reshape his body.

As long as it has a strong and vigorous body, no matter whether it is male or female... Although the magic he masters is not profound~www.readwn.com~, he can take the body of mortals in an instant and hear their souls retire from the world. the sound of.

In this cruel process, he discovered a gratifying thing, the dead can also be used by him, making himself stronger and stronger.

Aatrox set out on his tour, striving to find a way to return to his ascension, but the mysteries of the sword could not be solved in the end.

Gradually, he realized in despair that he would never be free, and that his current body was nothing more than a cage a little bigger than a great sword.

Robbed, cruelly remodeled flesh and blood more and more like a mockery, mocking his past glory.

Everything he has gained is just a deformed imitation of the past.

Perhaps, now this ugly monster is his true self...

Fate is indeed quite unfair, so who is pulling the lead of fate behind the scenes?

Aatrox had forgotten many things, and most of what he had discovered was only vague.

But he definitely remembered that at the last moment when he was dragged into the giant sword by gravity, he saw a pair of pupils like twilight.

He will find the vile fellow and chop him and his constellation to pieces with this weapon!

Not long ago, he had killed a stupid and arrogant star.

But, that was just an appetizer.

The star that symbolizes twilight, listen up...

He, Aatrox, is back!

"Confused traveler, have you heard the legend of Soang Sasha Waterfall?"

As he walked through the wooden house, a gentle voice entered his ears, causing him to subconsciously hold the giant sword and look over there.
