Chapter Eighty-Six: Mental Blow
The autumn breeze blows through a courtyard in Noxus, and maple leaves drift from the branches. Crisp footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and a man in a green and yellow robe stopped under a maple tree. He leaned down and picked up the maple leaf at his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Lord Svein, today is the day of the Commander, it's time for you to hit the road." A maid came from outside the courtyard and reminded.
Svein turned his head and smiled gently, and said, "You go down first, I'll go." ”
……
"Miss, my subordinates are incompetent, and I still haven't been able to find the general before the day of taking office." Tyrone bowed his head guiltily, not daring to look at Katarina.
"It's not your fault, Tyrone, blame that hateful man in Svein! And how many times have I said that? You and I don't have to be so restrained, just call me by my name. Caterina looked at Tyrone with a smile.
Carter...... The eldest lady ......" Tyrone hesitated, but still didn't speak.
"Carter? Hmph, it's not bad, in fact, Lina is also very good! Caterina shook her head, her fiery red hair dancing in the wind, as beautiful and seductive as a fiery elf. She knew that Tyrone didn't call out just now, but fortunately she shortlined her name and teased Tyrone.
In Katerina's opinion, Tyrone is usually too restrained, and he let him out of the way under the teasing, which can be regarded as relaxing his tight strings.
Sometimes Caterina wonders why Tyrone keeps this rigid expression, and she surprisingly wants to know about the big brother who was subdued by her father and accompanied her childhood memories.
Caterina shook her head, now is not the time to think about this, her father still doesn't know if he is alive or dead, it seems that he sometimes has to learn from Tyrone to make himself look serious.
But when she thinks of her father's disappearance, Caterina is distraught. Although she knew that Svein had done it, she had no evidence. This made her very aggrieved, usually she just let her father solve these political affairs, while she was immersed in the study of the art of assassination and carried out the task.
Now that her father is gone, Caterina feels like she's lost her backbone and doesn't know what to do. Looking at Tyrone, who has been with her all the time, Katerina feels that she is very tired these days and wants to find a shoulder to lean on.
Caterina asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "Tyrone, I'm so hot-tempered, even if my father comes back in the future, it's hard for me to find someone to marry, right?" ”
Tyrone was stumped by Katarina's question, he never imagined that his eldest lady would ask him such a question. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, your temper is actually not hot, especially recently, you have grown a lot, much more mature than before, I believe you will find the person you like." ”
"I don't know where my father has gone, my gut tells me he's still alive." Caterina looked sad and worried.
"Svein is here, eldest miss, if there is no one who can match the prestige, I am afraid that the position of ruler today will be his." Tyrone said coldly.
Caterina was on the edge of the arena and watched coldly as Svein walked to the center of the arena surrounded by everyone. At this moment, the anger in her heart was burning the limits of her patience, and she was ready to rush up and beat this person who had harmed her father.
A cold chill spread from the back of Caterina's hand, and she turned her head to find that her hand had been grasped by Tyrone at some point. Tyrone shook his head at her, signaling her not to be impulsive.
Caterina took a deep breath, not feeling anything wrong with Tyrone holding her hand. Maybe it was Svein's anger that had overshadowed her sanity, so she didn't have any objection to it.
Now Caterina has to endure and learn how to handle the affairs of Noxus like her father. At the same time, she always had a hunch in her heart that perhaps she would take over the affairs of the Quekao family in the future. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was prepared for the worst.
"Today is the day when the leader of Noxus will ascend to the throne, and in Lower Svein, thanks to the love of all Noxian officials and people, he has been able to obtain a place to compete for the position of leader this time." Svein stood in the center of the arena, glanced at the crowd under the stage, and said with a righteous face.
"I deeply regret the death of General Darkwell, Noxus is thriving under the leadership of his old man, he is the benefactor of our Noxians, and it is our pride, but such a great existence, but still can't withstand the erosion of years, sleeping in the ground, my grief is no less than everyone present." Svein paused and bowed deeply.
"Originally, at this critical moment, Noxus urgently needed a new leader to lead everyone out of the predicament, but General Kekao also disappeared, he was originally an expert in the Noxus Guguo Security Gang, and made great achievements, but he disappeared at this moment, thinking that he fell for the tricks of the enemy country, and I am very indignant about this!" Svein said righteously, his face impassioned and indignant.
"This shameless man is too embarrassed to mention my father!" Caterina clenched her fists in the outer corner of the arena and slammed into the wall, making a cut on the back of her hand, and the wall was stained with blood.
Tyrone didn't say a word, and looked coldly at Svein on the stage. It's just that the cold chill in his eyes was bone-chilling, as if he was about to skin Svein alive.
"But even if General Quekao is here, I think I am no worse than him, on the contrary, I think I am more qualified for the position of commander, I believe everyone here knows that I, Svein, used to be a civilian, and I can get to this point because I have a burning heart for Noxus, and my military achievements are no less than that of General Quekao, and many successful battles are planned by me, relatively speaking, a qualified commander must not only have merit to Noxus, but also have a management mind to run the countryI believe that as long as Noxus is in my hands for a day, I will do everything I can to make it even more brilliant! ”
"After I take the throne, I will implement a new set of decrees, this set of decrees is specifically aimed at the commoners, in order to let the commoners have the same chance to succeed as the nobles, but also to eliminate the estrangement between the commoners and the nobles, and jointly maintain the strength of my Noxus, the various Noxian nobles present Please rest assured, the decree does not weaken the interests and power of the nobles, but relatively allow the commoners to have equal opportunities, that's all I said, if you have no opinions, if you don't have any opinions, you will take over this leadership position."
After Svein's speech, he smiled indifferently and confidently and looked at the crowd around the arena. It seems that today, this is the place of ruler alone.
"Wait, I have an opinion!" At this moment, a loud voice rang out from the crowd.
Svein looked in the direction of the voice, and a figure flashed, swept towards the center of the arena, and stood in front of him.
A gleam flashed in Svein's eyes, and he said coldly, "Prince of Demacia, what's the matter with you?" ”
"I just want to see if the so-called new leader of Noxus is as rumored to be both civil and military?" Gavin IV looked at Svein playfully, not caring at all about his cold eyes.
The corners of Svein's mouth crossed a cold arc, and he said, "I will make you regret coming here to make trouble, prince of Demacia!" ”
Before Svein finished speaking, he had already distanced himself from Jiawen IV, and then he put a spell on both hands, and a huge crow's claw appeared on the ground of the martial arts arena centered on Jiawen, wanting to take Jiawen down directly.
Gavin IV hurriedly dodged to the side, and a few rolls were able to dodge the crow's claws that were surging with magical energy.
However, the corners of Svein's mouth rose slightly, and the cold laughter was very sloppy. Gavin IV realized that he had been tricked, that it was just a trick, and that he was now imprisoned in place by a huge magical aperture. He secretly screamed damn it, and watched Svein fly towards him.
Just as Svein released another bar of magical energy like a chain, an additional battle banner appeared behind him, and Gavin IV broke through his confinement, and the spear in his hand pierced Svein.
Svein's pupils constricted, and a sense of crisis came over him. He leaped and narrowly dodged the piercing blow.
However, Jiawen IV did not stop, and then jumped into the air, holding the spear with the palm of his left hand inward, and shaking it with his right hand, the speed of this flying spear was already invisible to the naked eye.
However, the crowd in the arena was nervously watching this battle, and they were not all Noxians, but people from other countries.
At the moment, they are happy to see the high-level duel between Demacia and Noxus, and they hope that both of them will be seriously injured and benefit from it.
Although the people inside Noxus have ostensibly accepted Svein as the new leader, it will be interesting to see if they will completely obey the new leader.
In the corner of the dimly lit arena, Caterina looked at the two men in the battle and muttered, "Although Svein is a cripple who is annoying, I still hope that he wins, and the dignity of Noxus does not allow outsiders to trample on it, especially the Demacians!" ”
Tyrone looked at Caterina in amazement, not expecting her to think so.
Pulling his gaze back to the center of the arena, Gavin IV's spear stabbed straight into the air at an unusual speed. Svein knew that he had suffered a big loss this time, and this move was ironclad and could not be dodged, so he could only take this blow with all his might.
Obviously, the flesh-and-blood Svein was simply unable to resist the sharp spear, and his left arm was directly pierced by the spear. The spear and Svein also fell heavily on the martial arts arena together, and blood continued to flow out of the place where the arm was pierced by the spear, and the scene was very horrific, causing a riot among the people present.
"Oh? You can still stand up, but what are you going to compare to me? You're half-ruined, Svein! Seeing that Svein was still able to get up, Gavin IV scoffed.
Svein staggered to his feet, pulled the spear straight from his right arm, and sprayed blood from the wound, and even Svein's face was covered with blood.
It is worthy of a spear made of dragon bones, and its power is comparable to that of an artifact. Svein sighed secretly.
"Don't forget, King Garvin IV, you were once captured by me, hehe." Svein gasped and said with difficulty.
When Gavin IV heard this, he remembered that he had been invincible on the battlefield and had slain countless enemies, but he was captured by Svein, which was the most humiliating thing for him. Jiawen IV said coldly: "In the face of truly powerful strength, all schemes are empty talk!" ”
Listening to Jiawen IV's words, Svein shook his head directly and smiled: "Sure enough, you are pampered, you have not seen the real desperate situation and hardship, and you have not experienced the hardship, you can't win me!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Svein burst out laughing, and black crows appeared beside Svein, and a shocking death aura struck Gawain IV.
The prince didn't react directly at this time, and was continuously pecked by these crows with blood-colored pupils, and he clearly saw that his skin and flesh were swallowed by these crows.
"Svein, come on, let me see what else you can do!" The prince roared, picked up his spear, and leaped towards Svein: "The sky is shattered! ”
Immediately, the ground of the entire martial arts arena was like a cracked shard, shattered into countless stones, and the two of them fell deeply into the shattered martial arts arena. If you look down from above, the entire martial arts arena has turned into a deep giant pit.
Svein sneered, as if possessed by a raven, his scarlet eyes bloomed with a sinister light, as if he had seen a delicious prey, and the wound on his right arm healed quickly and at a visible rate.
The prince was exhausted from the unleashing of such a powerful method, and he leaned on his spear and looked at the intact Svein with a shocked expression.
"Impossible, how can I lose, why do you win me!" The prince struggled to pick up his spear and rushed towards Svein with all his remaining strength.
And Svein seems to be fine, but in fact, his physical strength has reached the limit, and he can no longer cast magic. Svein also rushed to the prince, directly snatched the spear in the prince's hand and threw it off the field, and the two fought hand-to-hand on the field.
"Why did I win you, you ask? Okay, I'll tell you! Svein also roared desperately, as if in contrast to the demeanor of the polite speech on the stage just now.
Svein grabbed the prince's right fist with his left hand, his body trembling with exhaustion, and his right fist frantically struck the prince in the abdomen. The already weak prince was directly unable to fight back, and glared at Svein for a long time before he spit out a word you.
"You are the prince of Demacia, I am a commoner of Noxus, if you follow the normal trajectory, you and I will not have an intersection, but I have a belief in my heart, there is a village, I vow to let the people of our village get rid of a difficult life, which is why I have persevered until now."
Svein seemed to be crazy, using the prince as a vent, and frantically hit the prince in the abdomen: "But then I found out that if I didn't change the system of Noxus, more commoners would die in misery, and I changed my goal, not only to make my village rich, but also to make the commoners and nobles of Noxus have the same career opportunities, so that the commoners who worked hard would not starve to death." ”
"Do you know how hard I've worked to get to where I am today? Do you know? You don't know, you have been the hope of the whole of Demacia since birth, you have received the best education, you wear gold and silver, and you enjoy the best resources of the whole country, you have no idea what kind of hardships a low-level commoner has to pay in exchange for my position in Noxus today! ”
Gavin IV's mind was blank at Svein's words, and he didn't know what to do.
"You have your best brother Galen by your side when you go out, and Zhao Xin sent by your father to protect you and guide you, but what about me? What do I have? I only have myself, I know the feeling of helplessness alone, I continue to gather my strength, and at the same time I am looking through the battles in the history of the Valoran continent to learn from experience, even my current physique is honed in that difficult environment! ”
"Galen, the general of the Dreadnought Vanguard Regiment with the strongest fighting power in Demacia, is powerful in the world; Zhao Xin, known as the head of Debang, is full of heroism, but what about you? You're just a brute force reckless, wasting your father's resources, you're just a lucky guy with the halo of 'Prince Demacia' on your head! ”
"You've come this far with your resources, and I've come this far without any support, and you're even asking me what qualifications I have to win you? Faith, I have a persistent belief and unyielding will that you can never have, if I could get half of your background, I would have begun to calm the world a long time ago, not only by fighting ability, but also by virtue of wit to completely defeat your enemy, Noxus! ”
"Jiawen IV, who left Galen, Zhao Xin, and your father, what are you?" In the end, Svein stopped beating the prince, he let go of the prince and let him be stupid.
Gawain IV fell to his knees, he was so stunned that he had forgotten where he was and what was going on.
This time, he was completely defeated, and although the final military duel with Svein seemed to be a draw, he lost. His long-standing sense of superiority and belief was completely shattered by Svein's clever language, and there was nothing left.
"Your Royal Highness, let's go back, and get it back on the battlefield next time." Zhao Xin walked to the field, stretched out his hand, and helped the prince up.
Zhao Xin looked at the prince's pale face full of confusion, and could only shake his head and sigh deeply. I hope that this defeat can make His Royal Highness grow a little, Svein is right, His Royal Highness is indeed too lacking in tempering. Inflated self-confidence is arrogance, and I hope His Royal Highness can understand this truth.
Zhao Xin helped the prince to step down, just in time to see Galen and Lux were also there, and cast a worried look. Zhao Xin nodded: "This defeat is not a bad thing for His Royal Highness, I will send His Royal Highness back to Demacia first, you two be careful, that Svein is terrible." ”
On the ruins of the martial arts arena, Svein put his right hand into a fist to his mouth, coughed a few times, and said, "The crazy appearance just now made everyone present laugh, but I believe that it will no longer be meaningful for you to take the position of commander for me, right?" ”
Svein glanced at the audience again, and when he saw that no one objected, he said: "Then I declare that from today onwards I will be the new commander of Noxus, and I will definitely do my best to defend the glory and dignity of Noxus!" As soon as he finished speaking, most of the Noxians in the audience cheered. It seems that the battle just now and the picture of Svein getting out of control later deeply impressed those present.
In the corner on the periphery of the arena, Caterina clasped her hands and bent right foot against the wall. Because the light was too dim, and the long hair hid her face, I couldn't see what her expression was.
But when she thinks about it, she lowered her head, and her expression should be very gloomy. Tyrone stood quietly beside her, looking at the lively scene in front of him, and he was silent for a long time.
"I admire you, Svein, but it's another thing for you to do anything to harm my father for the sake of the throne?, Tyrone, let's go!"
"Yes, Miss!"
……
In the underground palace complex of black roses, in a courtyard full of black roses, a luxurious and enchanting woman is dressed in a dazzling colorful cloak like glass, a sexy black bandeau top, her abdomen is exposed, and her slender thighs are looming under the cloak with high heels, which is very seductive. She twisted the petals among the roses, the tip of her nose to the center of the flower, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a look of pleasure of contentment. Her thin lips were slightly raised, as if to pour out her love for the black roses in this garden.
"Lord LeBlanc, Svein has succeeded in ascending to power, but he has betrayed us." A maid stopped at the gate of the courtyard and said apprehensively.
"Charles, do you know why the roses here are black?" LeBlanc asked nonchalantly, touching the petals with the tip of her nose, the refreshing scent of flowers stimulating her senses.
"My lord, Charles doesn't know." The maid replied truthfully.
"Because when human blood is dried, it is jet black!" LeBlanc suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, and her laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell.
It's just that such a beautiful laughter frightened the maid named Charles. She understands that the traitor of the Black Rose will not escape death!
