LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 405 The Enchantress's Prison Life ([-] in [-])

No one knows about LeBlanc's past.

Even Li Wei, who has the "power of prophecy", only knows that she was once a sorceress under Morde Kaiser's command.As for more distant things, he is not clear.

Only LeBlanc knows exactly where she came from.

Many, many years ago, in the distant past when Noxus did not exist, Mordekaiser did not rise, she was just a peasant girl in the southern plains of Roxie.

Farmers in that era were unfortunate, but also lucky.

The dark-born war, which lasted for thousands of years and finally came to an end, has brought the population of this continent down to an unimaginable low point.

It is full of abandoned land that no one cultivates.In order to take a breather, the warlords from all over the country who were finally freed from the dark-born war also introduced policies to encourage farming and reclamation, and to recuperate with the people.

As long as you have the ability to open up wasteland and reclaim land, and you are willing to work hard and suffer a little, you can own your own land.

And LeBlanc's father is a man who is both strong and able to endure hardships.With half his life's hard work and all his illnesses, he left a large piece of land and a strong cattle for his daughter.

This is one of LeBlanc's fondest memories.

She still remembers sitting on the broad back of the bull when she was a child, watching her father walking slowly ahead holding the rein, and looking back at her with a smile from time to time, that hunchbacked but solid back.

She thought that when she grows up, she must work hard to help the family and buy a few more sturdy cattle for her father, so that he can relax more.

Then there is no more then.

The decline of the darkin warriors left a huge power vacuum in the land.As a result, the remaining human warlords did not stop for a few years, and then bit each other like mad dogs with their bad habits.

The flames of war quickly reached LeBlanc's door, like a flood flooding an ant's nest, destroying the nest her parents had built for her with all their might.

Both her parents died tragically in front of her, because they knelt a little too late in front of the warlord's horse.

The farm cattle that their family cared for like treasures were also chopped up by the invaders without mercy and boiled into a pot of meat soup.And she was forced to wear heavy shackles, and was taken as a slave by the invaders.

The life of a slave made LeBlanc suffer humiliation in her childhood.

If things go on like this, her best ending in the future is probably to wait for her to grow up a bit, and with her beautiful face, she will be spotted by a certain military officer who is gentle with women, and will take her home as his private life. slave girl.

And this is already the ending that most mortal slaves dream of.

Fortunately, LeBlanc is not a mortal.

She awakens her innate magical talents and reveals a glimpse of the pale lady of the future.

The warlord master took a fancy to her powerful magical power, which was astonishing and far superior to her peers, and promoted her from a military slave to an apprentice of a great mage, hoping that she would use her ability to serve his great cause after learning.

And LeBlanc quickly proved with strength that no one can enslave her and force her to serve him.

Relying on her innate talent for magic and hard work on magic knowledge, LeBlanc surpassed her teacher quietly and possessed the terrifying ability to subvert the warlord regime.

So she killed many people in one go.

The so-called teacher who treats her like a slave.The officers and soldiers who slaughtered her hometown.

And that warlord master.

When killing the warlord, LeBlanc asked him very puzzled: "You know that my parents were killed by your own hands, why did you dare to promote me to learn magic?"

"I killed your parents?" The warlord finally understood: "Oh, I don't remember."

LeBlanc: "."

Only then did the young pale lady realize that the weak are just ants.A strong man accidentally tramples you to death when he passes by, and he won't even remember your name afterwards.

She doesn't want to be an ant anymore, she wants to be her own master forever and control her own destiny.

So, LeBlanc returned to her hometown for the last time, and said her last farewell in front of the grass pile where her parents' dead bones were hastily buried.

She abandoned her name, her past.

From then on, she was just LeBlanc, the Pale Lady, and the Trickster.

LeBlanc succeeded.

As the decades passed, her study and mastery of magic improved.The ever-accumulating mysteries of spells and magical relics from ancient times gave her the ability to live forever, almost like a god.

She is already strong enough to call the wind and rain on this continent, and no one can enslave her any longer and make her turn back into the ant she used to be.

But LeBlanc soon encountered setbacks.

Because Mordekaiser was resurrected.This tyrant of the underworld, who was killed twice and reborn three times, almost enslaved the entire Valoran continent.

LeBlanc also inevitably fell into his hands.

And then, as Li Wei knew, LeBlanc united with the major warlord tribes of Roxy, secretly designed and sealed the well of soul in the depths of the Immortal Fortress, and cut off the power link between Mordekaiser and the iron armor avatar , and finally drove the tyrant back in one fell swoop.

After the incident, the major warlord tribes who formed an alliance because of their resistance to Mordekaiser finally let go of their prejudices, and under the secret integration of LeBlanc and Black Rose, the Roxy Tribal Alliance was established—that is, the future Noxus The embryonic form of the empire.

This vigorous new regime quickly inherited Mordekaiser's great cause and began to expand their living space in all directions.

In endless wars and victories one after another, the Noxus Empire was born and became the greatest existence on Runeterra.

And LeBlanc is the real master of this great empire.

At this time, she has almost fulfilled the vow she made at the grave of her parents back then.She took control of her own destiny and stood on top of the world.

But LeBlanc was not happy.

Mordekaiser, who is bound to return, is her lingering shadow.

This made her urgently need to conquer more lands, plunder more foundations of magic and ancient holy relics, and look for the various powers left by darkborn, protoss, demigods, and demons in Runeterra.Only in this way can she have the confidence to deal with Mordekaiser's counterattack.

And Black Rose's control over the empire all comes from cooperation with the imperial nobles.

LeBlanc had to pinch her nose to endure the greed and depravity of these nobles, and do her best to maintain their corrupt rule.Only in this way can she maintain the stability of the Noxian Empire.

In order to achieve this goal, she has been secretly advising dignitaries abroad, appearing in many countries at the same time, using her phantom to disrupt order and create chaos.

In the beginning, LeBlanc enjoyed such a manipulative and manipulative power game.

But 100 years have passed, 200 years have passed, 300 years have passed. It is almost 1000 years now.

LeBlanc was tired of it.

But she couldn't let it go.Whether it is Mordekaiser's threat or her obsession since she was a child, it is destined that she will not give up her control of Noxus.

It's like a miser carrying a huge sum of cash, although it is very tiring, but she must carry it.

Until one day, the leader came.

She didn't want to let go, and she had to let go.

After the failed palace coup, LeBlanc put on the heavy magic shackles custom-made for her, and came to Zaun's high-level war criminal management facility.

Food and delicacies, jewels and fine clothes, these high-class material enjoyments are all bid farewell to her.Her strength is imprisoned, her power is deprived, and her freedom is restricted.

The two demons she relied on were also handed over to the leader as her "united front value" and counted as part of her atonement.

LeBlanc has become an "ant" again.

Her daily life is: get up, wash, arrive at the assembly point, breakfast, sewing machine, lunch, sewing machine, dinner, one hour of free activities, reading books and newspapers, theoretical study, sleep.

Then repeat the previous life.

And this kind of life, she will spend another 2000 years.

In the beginning, LeBlanc had nothing but resistance to such a life.

But gradually, she got away from the intrigue of power and put down the crisis of Mordekaiser. In this most ordinary and simple working life, she seemed to have gained some kind of relief.

Every minute and every second of working in front of the sewing machine, LeBlanc can't help but recall the peaceful years when, many, many years ago, in that farmhouse, her mother held her clumsy little hand and learned to sew.

But this tranquility was only a temporary luxury for her mother.

Then, LeBlanc suddenly understood the leader.

The leader is to build Runeterra into such a society, a society where ordinary people can enjoy a happy life through labor.This is not some far-off utopia, it is hopeful.

It's just that after she became stronger, she forgot her origin.

But after the leader has mastered the power, he will never forget the weak.So they can do it, and others can't.

Therefore, only the leaders can.
"Stop, stop, stop, don't rush to sublimate." Li Wei put down LeBlanc's "The First Half of My Life", and the corners of his mouth twitched with boredom: "Tell me, what are you writing about?!"

"Confession." LeBlanc looked at Li Wei pitifully.

She raised her slender arms that were bound by heavy shackles, and let him see her pale fingers that had many small holes pierced by the sewing machine because of unfamiliarity with work: "President Li Wei, look--I am really working hard, Please repent."

"You confess!" Li Wei slapped her thought report on the table: "The whole article is about remembering how miserable I am, without mentioning what I did specifically."

"Even if you mentioned your evil deeds during the reign of Noxus, it was only a necessary preparation for fighting Mordekaiser, and it was a compromise with the old aristocracy that had to be made in order to maintain the rule."

"Modekaiser and the old aristocrats are responsible for the blame, and you cut it clean yourself."

"Are you reflecting on this? You are fighting against defeat!"

"Well," LeBlanc bowed her head in silence.

"Actually, you know what you have done." Li Wei saw through her mind at a glance: "But you don't want to repent."

"Because you feel from the bottom of your heart that what you do is correct under the background of the times at that time."

"Yes." LeBlanc's eyes lit up, as if she had found a confidant: "This is the limitation of the times. If I don't do that, Noxus will disintegrate, human power will be dispersed, and Mordekaiser's Coming back will be even more unstoppable."

"Hehe." Li Wei blocked her mouth with one sentence: "Considering the background of the times, the existence of alchemy barons is also necessary. But now, the times have changed."

"They're all hanging on street lamps. What about you?"

"I" LeBlanc fell silent.

"You really don't repent so easily." Li Wei was not disappointed either.

This is normal.How could a thousand-year-old hag transform into a true penitent, or even a leader who believes in Janna, because of just a few days of labor and ideological remolding?

This is just the War Criminals Management Office.Not a mind control center.

"You should remodel it well." Li Wei stood up and told her coldly: "There are still 2000 years. It's still a long time."

"Yes" LeBlanc sighed helplessly.

Then she raised her wrist, which was bruised by the shackles, and begged: "Then at least, please help me undo this pair of forbidden demon shackles."

"You should know what the Temperament Stone is. A mage wears this thing all year round, and his body will only be irreversibly decayed due to the exhaustion of magic power. At least...let me survive the 2000-year sentence."

In fact, LeBlanc never thought that Li Wei would really agree.After all, she is a bewitching witch, and she is considered extremely dangerous among mages.

She just wanted to make an outrageous request first, and then pay back the money on the spot, trying to improve the food.

Because Li Wei does not want criminals to have such good material conditions in prison that they turn prison into a vacation, and even create a bad atmosphere of "going to prison is like going home".

So now the food in this prison is like holding steamed buns in their hands, and there is not a drop of oil in the dishes.

LeBlanc wants to eat better.

However, what she didn't expect was:

"Okay." Li Wei actually helped her undo the shackles of the forbidden demon.

Then, he placed a blue bird incarnation on her shoulder.

"Starting today, this blue bird will stand on your shoulders forever. If you want to escape from prison, trust me. It will cut off your head with the wind blade within a second."

"This" LeBlanc felt the power of this blue bird incarnation.This is obviously the incarnation of the prison guard version of the blue bird specially customized by Li Wei in order to keep an eye on her.

But why would he do this?
"Because I feel that you still have a good time here." Li Wei said: "How much effort it takes to step on a sewing machine, what is it to you, an archmage?"

"Without the intensity of work, how can you experience the pain that the working people have silently endured for countless years in the process of transformation, so that you can truly repent from the heart?"

LeBlanc: "."

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then, I just heard Li Wei ask her; "LeBlanc, how many clones can you transform at most?"

LeBlanc hesitated for a moment, and finally answered honestly: "It's hard to say. If it's the kind of low-level clone that has no combat power at all, I can divide at least tens of thousands of them."

"Tens of thousands?" Li Wei frowned.

"What's wrong?" LeBlanc suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's too little." Li Wei sighed to himself.

Then he looked out the window, at the playground of the War Criminals Management Office.

A row of alchemy trucks that had just stopped in the open space were unloading goods into the open space box by box.

At first, LeBlanc thought it was the prison getting supplies.But now it seems that it is not.

"So, what's in that box?" LeBlanc asked concerned.

"500 sewing machines." Li Wei replied, "I originally planned to open a garment processing factory in the management office and let you work there."

"We?" LeBlanc captured the word sharply.

"Yes." Levi explained: "You and your clones."

"Boss, manager, sales, finance, security, sewing girl... probably more than 500 jobs, all of which are you alone."

LeBlanc: "."

"You, you" used one person as if there were more than 500 people. This operation made LeBlanc angry.

"You're extracting my surplus value!" she charged angrily.

"Otherwise?" Li Wei said with a flat face: "If you don't come to be squeezed, do you still want to come to enjoy the blessing?"

LeBlanc was speechless.

And Li Wei said to himself with a bit of a headache: "I thought you could create a few hundred clones at most, but I didn't expect you to be able to create tens of thousands in one go."

Although this kind of low-level clone that doesn't need to consume too much magic power has no combat effectiveness, it is productive.It is no problem for them to step on the sewing machine, sweep the street, and do some relatively simple jobs.

"In this way, more than 500 jobs are not your limit at all. This small garment factory can't achieve the transformation effect of giving you some work intensity."

Li Wei looked at LeBlanc carefully with the eyes of Ziben's family looking at advanced employees.

This look made LeBlanc terrified.

"It's a pity." Li Wei sighed with a headache: "Tens of thousands of clones are too many."

"If you were to do what those people do, I'm afraid the job market in Zaun would be hit."

"???" LeBlanc's forehead dripped with cold sweat.

Horse riding, what is "human work"?
Do you still want me to do, "not human" work?
The mysterious and elegant Miss Yaoji couldn't help cursing in her heart the Zaan dialect she had just learned.

"How about this?" Li Wei thought for a while, and said, "You first assign 3000 clones, and go to the gutter area to be responsible for cleaning up the toxic soil."

"Toxic soil?" LeBlanc's expression darkened.

In the past 200 years ago, Zaun has been recklessly discharging alchemy sewage and various solid and highly toxic wastes into the sewer area.

Although these toxic wastes have been swept away by Janna with divine power, they have been sent to the landfill built by the leader outside Zaun city for proper disposal.However, this entire piece of land heavily polluted by highly toxic substances cannot be cleaned up in a short period of time.

And how poisonous is this land?
The poison is so poisonous that ordinary people can die immediately without wearing protective clothing.

Therefore, the work of cleaning up the toxic soil has never been done by the people of Zaun, but by mass-produced steam robots.

"You want me to do the work of robots?!" LeBlanc questioned angrily.

Levi smiled: "Do you know why nobles and landlords in Noxus prefer to use serfs instead of tractors imported from Zaun?"

"Why?" LeBlanc subconsciously continued.

"Because it's under your rule." Li Wei restrained his smile: "Human life is cheaper than machines."

LeBlanc: "."

"Go to work. There are still 2000 years, I hope you can understand."

"." LeBlanc was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Yes."
