Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage - Chapter 582
The confrontation between Shurima and the Celestials in Runeterra ended with the betrayal of nearly half of the Protoss.
Immediately following, Azir and Aatrox led the team and led the Ascension Gods into the heaven.
In Shurima, only Sivir, Cassiopeia, and Nasus were left, and even Talia, who had just ascended, and Renekton, who had regained consciousness after ascending again, were brought with them.
“Won’t they affect Noxus’ plans?”
Ionia, Port Lane.
Yone leaned against the wall and asked casually.
Just now, he was taken by Swain to the virtual Trifali Chamber built by the Heart of Noxus, and sat in on a meeting that was decided by Swain.
It was also at the meeting that he learned about the situation on Shurima’s side.
“What Shurima did was planned from the very beginning, and it never deviates.” Swain said calmly.
When Orianna couldn’t get out and Ryan retreated and promoted, he took over the burden of managing the empire again.
Swain raised his head from the scroll, glanced back at Yone, and said lightly:
“As my lieutenant, sometimes you need to think more.”
“Adjutant? I can’t afford this title.”
Yone laughed dumbly. Everyone knew that Swain’s last adjutant was the now-famous Trifali Council President and the first person in Rune Land.
“I didn’t want you to compare with him, and you can’t compare with him.”
Swain shook his head, with a touch of nostalgia in his eyes:
“In fact, he has been my adjutant from the beginning. Meredith is a very assertive person, and more often I need to cooperate with him.”
“I heard that you once had a special experience in the empire.” Yone’s eyes were a little interested.
After getting along with Swain for a long time, the previous fear of the unknown no longer exists.
Instead, he now thinks that Swain is a very understanding person who has almost no desires and only cares about things related to the Empire.
“Which one are you referring to? For someone like you, the experiences of me, Meredith, or Darius should all count as special.”
There was a slight smile in Swain’s voice, but the speed of handling official business was not affected at all, and each message was sent out through the heart of Noxus.
With the Heart of Noxus, his life was much easier.
At least not as many paper reports as before.
Now if you want to extract information, a single thought is enough, and sending information out is similar, very fast.
“I want to know how you were feeling when you exposed your parents when you were a child.” Yone asked.
“How do you feel?”
Swain was a little surprised, and looked back at Yone, as if he was surprised that the other party would ask about this.
“Can’t you say it? That’s fine.” Yone shrugged.
It was an unimportant matter, and he only asked such a question after thinking of his own experience.
“There’s nothing that can’t be said, and Meredith once said that when a man is famous, all his deeds are over-interpreted.”
Swain’s tone was unusually calm, and he said neither in a hurry nor slow:
“Many people thought I was stupid at that time, jumping to conclusions without investigating clearly, and pushing my biological parents into the abyss.”
“People always have limitations, especially when they are young.” Yone said softly.
“It’s not a limitation, and even now, I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong.”
Hearing Swain’s calm and convincing words, Yone was a little puzzled:
“But that incident should have had a better outcome.”
As far as he knew, the family represented by the surname Swain was definitely the largest family in Noxus back then.
At that time, Swain’s parents chose to cooperate with Black Rose because they were more ambitious, in an attempt to overthrow Darkwill’s throne.
But this thing is essentially a complete scam.
Behind Darkwill, the Black Rose is supporting him.
Swain’s parents and him were pawns in each other’s hands from beginning to end.
It stands to reason that Swain, as a chess piece, although he slowly turned his back after the Battle of Presidian, should have some feelings about that experience.
These feelings are the things that have always troubled Yone.
He still can’t let go of what Yasuo has done before.
Even if he knew, it was probably not the other party’s will.
Especially… A few days ago, he received the news of the death of Elder Soma.
Elder Soma was once Yasuo’s mentor.
But the irony is that it is now at the hands of Yasuo.
Yes, all the evidence points to Yasuo.
Using the hurricane swordsmanship, Elder Soma’s unbelievable expression before his death had already written Yasuo’s name in blood before he died.
Also, a few days before Elder Souma was killed, Yasuo was still haunting the neighborhood.
At that time, Yasuo wanted to let Elder Soma and his subordinates join the shadow stream, but it was a pity that he was rejected.
Evidence, motivation, almost everything.
Combined with Yasuo’s reputation on the streets of Ionia, it pushed him to the forefront.
Even though Yone knew that none of this was done by Yasuo, he didn’t know how to do it himself.
For Yone’s confusion, Swain gave his answer in a slightly sarcastic tone:
“Some people always think too much and want to be perfect, but in the end they get nothing.”
“Since I was born, I have been carrying the surname of Swain, the founder of Noxus. I was born with only one mission, to fight for Noxus~www.mtlnovel.com~ For this, I can Give up everything, give up everything.”
Swept by Swain’s breathtaking eyes, Yone lowered his head subconsciously.
“Parents? Friends? Lovers? Those things are worthless in the face of the security of the Empire.”
Swain’s flat voice is full of indifference:
“Start by thinking about what you can salvage from the past. It does not prove that you have learned to reflect, it only proves that your beliefs are shaking.”
“I can’t give you the answer you want. For me, the empire is supreme.”
“No, you have already given me the answer.”
Yone looked complicated and bowed to Swain.
The choice in Swain’s words was indeed the opposite of what he thought.
But some words made people completely sober.
Missing the past and thinking about whether you have done something wrong before, that is what the old people do.
Now that everything has not been settled, the only thing that should be done before this is to stop things from going in a worse direction.
“Your Excellency, it looks like I’m going to take a small vacation.”
Yone bowed slightly, with apologetic tone in his tone.
“Come back early, I hope the fusion of the demon in your body and you can go further.” Swain said calmly.
“Most definitely.”
Yone smiled, turned around and strode out of the Assembly Hall.
There are some things he should do.
After Yone left, almost at the same time, Swain also sent two messages.
One is for the uncrowned king of today’s vastaya… Sett.
The other was sent to Irelia in the Kuzan region, which contained some information about what had happened.
“Some things should also enter the final chapter.”
