Lux's Farewell

Chapter 974: Extra Chapter: Noxus: Good Student Riel

The world will never come to a standstill without someone, even if that person is Karya.

Perhaps, only when the sky is getting light, the members of the Northern Vanguard - now it should be called the Demacia Vanguard - will think of Kalya's teachings and guidance when they look up at the sky; and for the common people in Runeterra, Kalya is an extremely unfamiliar name. Instead, the inexplicably appearing star has become the "forerunner" of various "prophecies" in the mouths of many liars.

What really influences the public is never a star, but the passage of time.

Mortals cannot see the collapse of the Targon star map or the disintegration of the old order, but they can feel very clearly that a wave called [Supernatural Liberation] is sweeping across the entire Rune Land.

The origin of the extraordinary liberation is Demacia, and the normalization of the demon-tainted is the pioneer of this wave.

When the first batch of liberated demons changed their names and participated in the construction and management of the North as Law Guardians, few people could see the more profound impact of this change.

Even when the Walkers of the North arrived at the gates of Demacia and completely overthrew the old dynasty of Demacia, in the eyes of most people, the Lawguards were nothing more than "a force united by Laxana to seize power."

However, with the Great Crusade and the dismemberment of Noxus, Runeterra seemed to have returned to peace, and the waves caused by the normalization of the Demontainers really attracted the attention of those knowledgeable people.

The guardian is very good at fighting.

Not only were they good at fighting, but their methods of governing the local area were also much more sophisticated than those of the old nobles. Not only were they able to collect taxes, but they were also able to truly organize the civilians, something that no other kingdom could do.

What's even more terrible is that the training of Spell Guardians seems to be very simple - there are not many Spell Guardians with great reputations, and even fewer who have entered the extraordinary realm. Most of them are extremely talented, but apart from these top geniuses, the lower limits of most Spell Guardians are very guaranteed.

This is scary.

As the first generation of Spell Archons gradually retreated to the sidelines and the second generation of Spell Archons educated in the North gradually entered the mainstream vision, many people realized that Demacia had a brand new talent training system that could train Spell Archons on a large scale.

In other words, it includes not only the Law Guardians, but also the three armies of Demacia.

The first people to study this were the Noxians.

As the arch-enemy of Demacia (this arch-enemy has now been unilaterally recognized by Noxus), after the relationship between Noxus and Demacia eased, they began to re-examine Demacia, intentionally or unintentionally.

During this process, knowledgeable people led by Rell quickly discovered the secret of Demacia's talent training system.

Riel also came from a magic school. Although the magic school she attended was a bit too bloody, it is undeniable that many of her classmates who escaped from the school and wandered around with her later became Riel's right-hand men.

  The Demacia model seems to show Rell a completely different path. If the resources of magic education are not poured into one student, but shared by students to establish a relatively complete system, does it mean that Noxus can also cultivate its own spellcasters?

In the past, the relevant knowledge of Noxus was spread through blood - each noble family regarded blood and knowledge as the foundation of their existence. They improved the magical talents of noble children through marriage and other means, and established private schools within the family to pass on knowledge in the form of master-apprentice system.

Due to the complex connections among the nobles, these private schools often developed into associations, and then became a breeding ground for corruption. At the beginning, the Black Rose seemed to be just a secret magic association.

In the early days of Rell's reign, she had always cracked down on such secret groups. With the example of the Black Rose in front of her, this crackdown was naturally justified. However, even if Rell fought with all her might, the result was only to suppress association and collusion on the surface. Those nobles who had survived the three reigns of Swain Darius Rell and were still able to stand firm all had their own ways of survival. Although Rell had her classmates as helpers, she still could not really reach into the nobles' private plots, so this crackdown was always superficial.

Faced with this situation, after some discussion with her classmates, Riel decided to carry out drastic reforms to the Noxus education system.

Private schools are still prohibited, but the transformation of private schools into public schools is encouraged and welcomed. As a reward, Riel and her classmates are willing to personally participate in the course teaching and guarantee some rights of the sponsoring nobles through contracts.

Including but not limited to the naming rights, enrollment allocation rights, administrative management rights, etc. According to Riel's plan, the process of transforming a private school into a public school is essentially closer to "cooperative education", that is, the nobles provide the venue and part of the teachers, and Riel provides the reputation and another part of the teachers.

The graduates of this kind of public school converted from a private school will inevitably bear the imprint of the sponsoring nobles, and will not be as pure as the education in Demacia. However, it is precisely these imprints that make the Rell Plan feasible.

Most of the nobles were unwilling to give up their own reserved territory of education.

But the nobles of Noxus have never been united - just when most people were watching coldly and waiting for Rell to fail, several old nobles with few offspring were the first to surrender.

First up is the Kekao family.

This famous family now has only Katarina left as the main branch, and she has married far away in Demacia. Under such circumstances, the private assassin school that was once managed by General Du Kokao and had trained a large number of elite assassins including Talon was quickly transformed from private to public and was named "Diplomatic Academy" in the Immortal Bastion.

Catalina, who was actually not good at diplomacy, became the principal of this school. After the Kekao family gradually lost ground in the military field, they gained ground in the diplomatic field.

The leadership of the Kekao family is quite fatal.

Many families that lacked direct descendants soon smelled the scent and came looking for them. In the past, in order to avoid the decline of the family, they often spent a lot of money on marriage and adoption, but the result was usually either being annexed by others or becoming a vassal.

But now, they can be more desperate and become Riel's lackeys to protect their own foundation.

As a result, as one school after another was established, many of the old Noxian nobles smelled danger.

They wanted to resist, but at this time they no longer had the strength to resist.

When the Morning Star hung in the sky for the twelfth year, in Noxus, the last of the old societies was finally on the verge of dissolution due to the lack of new members; it was also in this year that Rell signed the "Noxian Talent Certification Act" modeled after Demacia.

Although Riel had never been a student of Kalya, it was undeniable that she had learned quite well.

The successive appearance of the Demacia Talent Certification Act, the Noxian Talent Certification Act, and Shurima's Imperial Talent Reward Measures are generally considered to be the sign of the official beginning of the extraordinary liberation wave.

At this point, the path to transcendence was officially opened to most people in Runeterra.

　Rest is good for your physical and mental health...

　　During this period of rest, the author finally went out for a few trips after four years. His sleep quality also improved, and he felt better overall.

　　However, humans are sometimes mean. Even though they don’t need to write novels, after a long time, when they lie in bed at night, they can’t help but think about the next book - after resting, the creative desire that had been gradually drying up is now replenished again.

　　In addition, the editor-in-chief took the initiative to ask me when I would start a new book (which really flattered me), so it’s time to prepare to start again!

　　I will update some extra chapters in the next few days to get back into shape, the new book will be here soon!

  　　It’s still the League of Legends universe, but it’s no longer a “decent” story, so stay tuned!
