LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 126 Undercurrent, the King of Ideas is about to take action!

After coming out of King's Throne Mountain, Rowan went to see Mrs. Bouvier.

The words of King Jarvan III kept lingering in Rowan's mind, so when he saw Sona walking out of the manor and standing at the door, wearing a blue dress, with her hair tied up and a gentle smile on her face, Rowan subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

It's all your Majesty's fault.
What are you teaching me? You are already half buried in the ground, and you are still teaching young people your own love concepts. Is this reasonable? This is not reasonable at all!

But now, everything you say is false.

Rowan had to admit that Jarvan III's words were imprinted in his mind, and the days and nights he spent chatting with Sona through the Hextech transporter were all real. Thinking back on every detail, he always had a silly smile on his face when sending and receiving messages.

Therefore, he really likes Sona.

"Oh, isn't this the chief knight of our Buville family? He's finally come back after being away for so long?" Lady Lestalla then came out. She stood beside Sona, and her eyes lit up when she saw Rowan, but then she covered her lips with her hand and spoke to Rowan with a raised tone.

On the side were Doreah and Sislia.

"Welcome back, Lord Rowan." Doreah saluted Rowan and said softly.

On the side, Sislia imitated her mother's actions and saluted Luo Wen quickly. Luo Wen opened the Tiantan and glanced at Sislia's panel.

Then, Rowan was surprised.

【Sislia】

[Friendliness: Three Stars]

【Age: 17】

[Race: human]

[Intensity: Certain Threat]

【技能：体格（7）剑术（7）精神（5）强化（5）坚韧（4）领袖（3）.】

[Fortune: Lady Yunxiao (S) General (A)]

Both his physique and swordsmanship have reached level seven, and his spirit and reinforcement levels have surpassed those of ordinary soldiers, not to mention that Sisliya has also developed a leader skill.
You should know that among Rowan's many friends, only those in high positions have leadership skills, such as Garen, Jarvan IV, and Jayce. They have leadership skills.

And extraordinary beings like Lux and Kaisa do not have any leadership skills.

Therefore, what on earth has Sislia been through in the past year and a half?

When I went to Shurima and the Twin Cities, wasn't Sislia growing too fast?
What puzzled Luo Wen the most was that, in his impression, there was really no hero called Sisliya in League of Legends. But with Sisliya's growth rate and luck, you said she was not a hero. Is this reasonable? Is this really reasonable?
How many hidden masters are there in Runeterra?

Rowan turned his gaze away from Sislia and looked at Sona.

Miss Sona saw Rowan coming and looked at him for a moment. Then, she raised her hand and gestured gently a few times with her slender and well-proportioned fingers. Sona smiled.

"She said, welcome back." Madam Lestara helped translate, and then she also said with a smile: "Welcome back, Rowan."

Rowan paused, looked at Madam Lestara, smiled as well, and said softly, "I'm back."

"Come on, come in, I've prepared dinner, it's very sumptuous, and I've made a lot of things you like." Lestara said, and she also looked at Doria and Sislia, the mother and daughter, and patted Doria on the shoulder and said, "You guys come too, today is a family dinner."

Rowan nodded, and then he trotted to Sona's side.

He looked towards Sona.

This action made Sona shrink her shoulders unconsciously, and then she stretched her body and leaned her right shoulder towards Rowan's body.

Lestara noticed the little actions of the two people in front of her, but she just lit up her eyes and said nothing.

I can’t say that. It would be bad if I scare Sona or Rowan!

Although Luo Wen and the little princess of the Mianwei family are already tied together, is my daughter worse than her? No! My daughter can also compete with her!

Therefore, Lestara excitedly pulled Doria and Sislia.

The group entered the room, and Luo Wen went from being a little nervous at the beginning to completely relaxed later.

Because Buville is indeed Rowan's half home in the Demacia capital.

------

Late at night, one red warship after another docked at Besilico.

This is a coastal city in Noxus. At nightfall, Besilico was extremely lively. A group of fully armed soldiers in red armor stood in two rows, looking at the warship solemnly. On the warship docked at the port, a group of soldiers wearing tattered armor, with pale faces and lowered heads got off the warship.

A middle-aged man with a calm face who was supported also got off the warship. One of his legs was obviously longer than the other. This was not a natural thing. The shorter leg was deformed because his knee was completely shattered and his leg could not stand upright. His left arm was missing and a thick bandage was wrapped around the broken part. The bandage was stained with blood and dust.

"Commander Swain. No, Mr. Swain, because of the defeat in the Battle of Placidum, you have been expelled from the Empire. Considering your contributions to Noxus, the Empire has forgiven your sins. Now, you are no longer a soldier." A tall man with a warhammer on his back walked up to the man who was being supported, looked at Swain, and said with a complicated expression.

"What else?" Swain just moved his right hand lightly, and the soldier who was supporting him retreated. The soldier looked at Swain's graying hair with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

No, it should be said that all the Noxians at the scene were looking at this weak, useless middle-aged man.

Some of their eyes were filled with enthusiasm, some with disappointment, and some with regret, but absolutely no one's eyes showed joy.

Swain Jericho is from a family of veterans who were instrumental in the founding of Noxus. This generation of Jericho did something that shocked and impressed all Noxians. A black rose was hidden in the dark and polluted Noxus. After discovering this, Jericho conducted a secret investigation, reported the incident after obtaining evidence, and personally executed several masterminds, among whom were Swain's parents.

He then joined the army and fought in Shurima for many years, bringing supreme glory to Noxus. The army he led was invincible. Swain is the god of war of Noxus and also the new generation leader of Noxus.

but now
Once a man of great renown, thought to be the highest-ranking officer in the Noxian military, now with gray hair and broken limbs, this...
To be honest, Noxus is in chaos right now. It’s chaotic abroad and it’s also chaotic at home!

But these soldiers know best who can lead them to victory.

The sergeant carrying the war hammer knows some secrets.

For example, Swain's army was suddenly ordered to be transferred by His Majesty during the war. When the war was at its most intense, Swain's army was withdrawn, which was a taboo, but His Majesty Darkwill gave such an order.

Did Captain Swain lose the battle due to his own lack of ability?

No. He was framed.

"Then." Standing in front of Swain, Ktus hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, I hope you will not get involved in military affairs anymore."

Swain looked at him and was silent for a few seconds. Then, Swain said calmly: "Then, can you take me back to Drekan?"

"Are you going back to the Immortal Fortress?" Ktus asked hurriedly.

He seemed a little anxious and was about to say something, but Swain noticed and interrupted him. He stretched out his right hand, patted Ktus' chest, and said in a deep voice: "Shut your mouth, do you want to make Noxus more chaotic?"

"Yes." Ktusi reacted, stood up straight and spoke. This scene was a bit strange. A useless man who was almost a criminal was just expelled from the army, but the words he said made the general in front of him unable to disobey.

But Ktus knew that Swain was doing this for his own good and for the good of Noxus.

Some guys in the Immortal Bastion want to get rid of Swain. Even Ktus knows this, let alone those upper nobles?

Of course they know that too!
However, they would not speak for Swain because the king had already abandoned Swain.

For the sake of their own interests, the aristocratic circles kicked Swain out, even though Swain was very important to Noxus, even though Swain's talents could lead the Noxian army to victory, but that's politics.

The reason why Swain did not die now is not because those people did not want to kill Swain, but because they had no way to kill Swain. If Swain died in Ionia, then those people would be the ones laughing the most, but now, Swain was escorted back to Noxus, and it would be difficult for them to kill Swain again.

Because even though they lost the battle, Swain's reputation in the army was at its peak. If he died on his way back home or within a few days after returning home, everyone would know that it was a conspiracy.

Because of this, Swain survived.

And to those people, although Swain is alive now, he is actually no different from being dead.

He has been expelled from the army and has been away from the upper circles of Noxus. He will never be able to integrate into the upper circles in the future. In the future, he can only become a disabled farmer and will not be able to make any waves.

But what Ketus did not expect was that even though he was treated like this by the empire, he was still full of love for the empire.

This world is unfair, Ketus thought to himself.

“Send me back, Sergeant,” Swain said again.

Ketus sighed, then he nodded heavily: "Yes."

He really didn't want Swain to return to the Immortal Bastion and get involved in the political whirlpool again.

Being alive is always better than being dead, isn't it?

However, if he is afraid of death, he will not be the commander they respect.

"Help Swain onto the carriage, and let's go back to the Immortal Bastion!"

Ketus mounted his horse and spoke loudly.

Late at night, Immortal Fortress.

In the magnificent castle filled with iron blocks and an oppressive atmosphere, the soldiers patrolling the castle at night did not notice the black lines suddenly emerging beside them.

The black line spread towards an alley entrance, and then drilled into the ground.

Then, in the basement of a residential house in the alley that could not be more ordinary, several people wearing masks and robes covering their faces sat together, and they looked at the same place at the same time.

The door of the basement was opened, and a masked person with long purple hair and wearing a robe, but with a good figure, who could be identified as a woman at first glance, walked in.

She twisted her waist casually and sat in the first seat.

"Swain is back, and Ktus is escorting him personally. When Ktus comes back, I will personally interrogate him about his crime. How can a man who made a mistake and was expelled from the Empire ride on the army's carriage and be escorted back to the Immortal Fortress by the army?" A man suddenly spoke up.

The woman sitting at the head of the class said with a sweet smile, "Want to punish him? That's easy. Which places would be more miserable now? Let me think about it. By the way, what do you think of sending him to Piltover?"

"Piltover?"

"Madam Pale, we have dealings with the Ferros family of Piltover. Even though it can't be considered an alliance contract, it would be a bad idea to suddenly send troops over there, right?" A man wearing a green mask said hesitantly.

The masked woman sitting at the head of the group, who was called the Pale Lady, laughed. Her laughter was like a silver bell, and she said, "Do you still care about this? You should all know about the affairs of Demacia and Piltover. Do you want to see their relationship get better and better?"

"Ktusi's attitude is very clear. He is biased towards Swain. If that's the case, then he is our enemy. If we can't kill Swain, can we kill him?"

The Pale Lady continued, "This is a very good plan. If Ctus wins, we can destroy Piltover and ruin Demacia's plan. If Ctus loses, we can also remove his roots and make it impossible for Piltover and Demacia to get along well, right?"

"Will His Majesty Darkwill agree?" someone asked.

The Pale Lady replied, "Of course your majesty will agree."

"Then I think it can be done."

"But ma'am, what if the Demacians come to Piltover's aid?"

"Divert the trouble to others~" The pale lady put her hand on the mask, as if she was smiling, and then she said:

"We can't always fight the Freljordians. What do you think about letting Demacia fight the Freljordians? They are neighbors."

"Demacia will not fight an invasion war, and the Freljordians have never left the northern poles. This will be difficult." said a voice.

"I know everything will work out."

The Pale Lady said softly.

She played with the pen on the table, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Everyone present knew it.

The Pale Lady left again.

No one knows her true identity. She comes with the shadow and leaves with the shadow.

She is the most mysterious person in Noxus, and at the same time, the most dangerous person in Noxus.

On the table, as the pale lady finished her words, her figure also disappeared, as sudden as a bubble, and the pen that had been picked up also fell on the table. Then, everyone saw a beautiful black rose that had been drawn on the table.

"Then everything will go according to plan."

After the pale lady left, the two masked men sitting in the front row spoke.

Then everyone agreed.

Then, the meeting ended and everyone left through the underground passage.

The two masked men who were originally sitting next to the first seat took off their masks at the same time, revealing exactly the same faces.

Her purple-blue hair was tied up, she had pretty facial features, and her eyes were painted with heavy eyeshadow.

The two identical faces smiled at each other, and then they said in sync:
"It's just a mirage."

The undercurrent is surging.
