LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 261 Is This Still Our Leader?
Arriving in Ionia province, Rowan didn't spend too much time finding out about Irelia.

"Who is Irelia?"

Lux asked.

Lux suddenly discovered that every time Rowan went out, he would meet some girls, and as expected, these girls were all very beautiful.

And maybe the same is true for Irelia!

Therefore, Lux became a little alert and looked at Rowan with questioning eyes.

Rowan asked an Ionian casually, speaking Ionian in a very friendly manner.

Lux had cast a cognitive spell on herself before, so she can now understand Ionian, but Anna does not need magical help because she has known the language of the entire Runeterra since the day she became a demigod.

"Old man, may I ask if Commander Irelia is still in Navoli Province?"

"What do you mean old man? I'm only in my thirties." The Ionian who was questioned became a little anxious. He was just a little darker and his skin looked a little wrinkled. Did he look a little older?

No, how could an old man say such things?
Ok?
Lux was listening nearby and found it funny. She covered her mouth and laughed secretly behind Rowan's back.

Oh no, this shot hit the horse's leg all of a sudden~
But then, this person liked Rowan more and more. In Lux's opinion, this person's attitude became inexplicably friendly. She looked at Rowan with admiration in her eyes, "Ms. Irelia has successfully become the commander-in-chief of Navoli. Now many provincial capitals have been completely incorporated into Navoli and have established connections with Miss Irelia."

"Contact established?" Rowan was stunned. After such a period of time, has Irelia already reorganized Ionia?

"You left Ionia early a few years ago to avoid the war, right?" The man looked at Rowan's face and said after thinking for a while.

Rowan had an Ionian face, yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. This was the standard for Ionians. Therefore, he did not doubt Rowan because of what Rowan asked. Instead, he looked at Lux who was leaning closely against Rowan behind him, grinned, showing his white teeth and said:
"Are you living here with your wife now?"

"But now that you're back, Ionia has changed a lot. The war has changed us. In the past, we always said we wanted peace in order to protect the balance of the Spirit of Ionia, but what did we get in return? The Spirit of Ionia almost collapsed and went berserk. Therefore, many people's ideas have changed, including mine. My ideas have also changed. A peaceful character cannot bring peace in the face of war. Only by fighting and taking up arms to resist can we gain self-respect and peace."

As he spoke, a trace of unnaturalness suddenly flashed across his face, and he seemed a little sad. He looked at Luo Wen and said, "You don't look like you have changed. How can you maintain it after going out? Ha, little brother, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for you."

Luo Wen thought about it and felt that the other party was referring to his own aura.

After arriving in Ionia, the spiritual energy on Rowan's body emanated naturally. Even if Rowan tried to suppress the release of the aura, Rowan had originally used the spiritual energy of Ionia as a reference and comprehended the power of rules. Naturally, he was very popular with the spirit of Ionia.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Ionians, Rowan is an Ionian who is protected by the Spirit of Ionia. People of this type have one characteristic, which is that they are extremely gentle in order to ensure peace and balance.

"We have been polluted by violence. No, that's not right. We are not polluted by violence, but our instincts have been aroused. We have learned violence. Now there are even many boxing rings in Ionia. But you are different. If possible, I hope you don't go to find Irelia. It is not a good thing for you to join her. Maybe you should go to the monastery and the holy land." The man said seriously.

The more he looked at Luo Wen, the more he liked him and the more he admired him, so he said a few more words to Luo Wen.

Moreover, in his opinion, Rowan is now a minority in Ionia and a rare creature. There was no shortage of people like Rowan in Ionia in the past, and people like Rowan could be seen everywhere, but now there are fewer and fewer such people.

More and more people are becoming like him.

In fact, it is not as dark as we thought. They were not driven by violence and still maintained the nature of Ionians. They just learned to resist and fight. Are these two things bad things?
No, of course it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing for people anywhere.

But at the same time, Ionia also needs people like Rowan. This is the tradition of Ionia. It would be best if this tradition could be preserved.

"I see, thanks bro."

"You're welcome. If you really want to join Irelia, it's not a bad thing." The brother said after thinking for a while.

After chatting for a few more words, the old man left with his luggage.

Rowan and his crew also bought a small boat and headed from the Ionian crocodile, Tiwaser, to the province of Navoli, the center of Ionia.

As mentioned before, Ionia is a country of many islands, and the main means of transportation is by boat. To go from one place to another, you need a boat, and the largest island is Navoli.

"Is that Irelia the king of Ionia?"

On the boat, Lux asked a question.

Haha, after getting used to riding on a small boat, when Lux got on the boat again, she suddenly felt like she was back home. The shaking and awkward feeling were all gone. She found a place leisurely and was very skilled at it.

"No, Ionia will not have a king." Rowan thought for a moment and said to Lux.

"That's what I read in the book. Ionia is a place with many islands and cities. The Ionians have established various provincial capitals here, living in harmony and interdependence with each other. This approach seems strange to me, but the book says that this is the best way for the Ionians to get along, and Navoli is the largest provincial capital center."

"But what I just heard from that person is completely different from what I read in the book."

"Yes, Ionia has changed, too. But that's normal, isn't it?" Rowan said with a smile, "We are changing, the Twin Cities are changing, Noxus is changing, and even the tribes of Bilgewater are changing."

"Ionia is certainly changing, but the good news is that they are not fighting each other, and there are no provinces fighting each other."

Lux nodded and wanted to say something, but finally closed her mouth.

She suddenly realized that the knowledge points she read in the book could enrich her knowledge, but she had to be sure of one thing: it was useless to just read it in the book, she had to go and see it in person, go to that place in person and see the local situation.

Otherwise it's just paper talk.

After half a day, the boat came to rest on the edge of the island's coast, a place Rowan was very familiar with.

This is Irelia's former hometown.

After getting off the boat, Rowan took Lux and Anna and headed deeper into the water.

As he walked, his complexion turned worse.

Because it seemed like he had just said the wrong thing on the boat.

Lux looked around with a pair of sly eyes, and then said, "This doesn't look like what you said, Rowan?"

"Um"

"It's like it's being put back together after being torn apart? Was it the Irelia you know who did this?" Lux asked again.

No one stopped them as they walked into the forest, but they also saw what was happening along the way.

Ionia, the newborn land, does not seem so peaceful anymore, whether because of Irelia or because when the instinct of violence is aroused, rights and various desires are born.

Various small flags symbolizing various forces appeared on the island, those were probably the defeated forces.

Afterwards, Rowan and Luxanna lived in Ionia while heading towards where Irelia was.

Half a month later, Navoli.

Luo Wen looked at the stronghold built in front of him and a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

Irelia really did it. He had just said it to Irelia casually, but she insisted on carrying it out.

Her hands now had not only the blood of her enemies, but also the blood of her compatriots.

Should we be sad about this? Of course we should be sad. We were compatriots who once lived in peace and depended on each other, but now we have become enemies.

But this sadness cannot be an excuse for Irelia to give in.

Because struggle and reform will involve bloodshed.

If it is a reform without bloodshed, can it still be called a reform?

What Irelia did touched the interests of many people. What she wanted to do was to unite the entire Ionia and establish a country, a country called Ionia.

Don't let Ionia be divided again, and let each province be autonomous.

This is, unity!

Of course, Irelia in the original universe never did this.

The reason why Rowan was able to meet Irelia in Setina was largely because Irelia was assassinated at that time and was forced to kill her compatriots. She then felt tired, and when she came out to travel and relax, she heard the news about Rowan and came to ask.

In short
For Rowan, among the people who had contact with him, but not for too long, Irelia was definitely the one who had changed the most.

"Further ahead is the leader's room."

"Mr. Rowan, although it's been a pleasure chatting with you along the way, are you sure you are a friend of our leader?"

The man who brought Luo Wen in was a young man with black hair and handsome looks.

His name is Tona, whom Rowan met when he was shopping in a town. He is also a cadre in the Navoli Brotherhood, so Rowan chatted with him for a while longer.

After learning that Rowan was looking for Irelia, Tona volunteered to take Rowan to the base of the Navoli Brotherhood.

Although he was a cadre of the Navoli Brotherhood, he had never met Irelia, and therefore, he wanted to meet his leader.

He wanted to know if Irelia was as wise, brave, powerful and invincible as the rumors said.

And Luo Wen nodded and looked ahead.

He looked up.

The city is being built here.

And it has been almost built. The height of the city wall is about seven meters, and various stones are used. As for the size... Rowan sensed that it is a little smaller than the Demacia one, but about the same size as the White Cloth Kingdom.

With Tona's help, Rowan and Luxanna easily entered the "city" and then reached the center.

Along the way, Lux's glowing white skin and blonde hair naturally attracted a lot of attention, but because she was brought by Tona, and because of the war between Ionia and Noxus, there were many Noxians who were left in Ionia, and they even had descendants, so they were just curious and did not think that Lux was really an outsider.

After all, many of those Noxians have completely integrated into Ionia.

"Please inform Lady Irelia that your subordinate Tona has brought her a friend."

In front of the house built with white stone bricks, Tona bowed and said seriously.

"Friends?"

The strong soldier on guard asked, "Name."

"Rowan." Luo Wen said from the side.

"Please wait a moment." The soldier nodded and then pursed his lips.

The soldiers behind him hurried into the house.

Tona stood there, time passed by little by little, and he became a little nervous.

Irelia has a good reputation within the Brotherhood. She is considered the chosen one and the reincarnation of the Ionian spirit who leads them, but at the same time, Irelia is also well-known for her ruthlessness within the Brotherhood.

After all, that was a woman who could easily kill dozens of traitors with just a wave of her hand.

Because of this, Tona became nervous.

As there was still no movement in the house, he even began to regret it.

What if this pleasant-looking man is a spy?
What if he lied?
Will I be implicated?
Just as Tona was daydreaming, he saw a red figure running out of the house.

Her black hair was flying and her red armor skirt was shining. The Zan family emblem, which was her symbol, turned into rows of sharp blades and followed her.

It's Lady Irelia!
Is it Lady Irelia with a flushed face, smiling eyes, and excitement?

Not only Tona was stunned, but even the soldiers who often came into contact with Irelia were stunned.

This is the first time they have seen Irelia like this!

Standing on the steps, Irelia saw Rowan at the bottom of the steps and smiled. She said loudly: "Mr. Rowan? It's really you!"

"Irelia, nice to meet you." Rowan looked up at the girl on the steps.

A few years later, Irelia has grown up completely.

Her appearance was different from the last time I saw her in Marsan. She was no longer immature, but had a mature charm.

She looked at Rowan with a genuine smile on her face.

"Yes, that's right, it's nice to see you again."

The leader who was considered to be cruel by the Brotherhood, now smiled very gently.

She said happily.

She walked down the stairs like a girl and came to Luo Wen.

This scene stunned all the members of the Navoli Brotherhood present. They stared at Irelia for a long time without being able to speak.

Not buddy
Can our leader be that sweet?!

Isn’t our leader a ruthless killer?

Didn’t our leader even refuse to wash the blood off his weapons?

Is this still our leader?!
