Chapter 876 Draven
Swain's coup took place in May of last year, and it has only been eight months.
In the first three months, a large number of Noxian nobles were purged for standing on the wrong side, including the head of the Myrdal family, which had a branch in Piltover and even held a seat in parliament. As a result, the mother of Councillor Mel had to step up and take charge of the family again.
After seeing the situation clearly, especially after Swain was recognized by Darius, the Hand of Noxus, and took control of the military, these families expressed their submission to Swain one after another. However, it is likely that less than half of them were sincere, and there were many undercurrents surging within.
Many people are secretly absorbed by the black rose, waiting for it to bloom again.
No matter which side they are from, as long as they are in the top family of Noxus, they will know the name Seville, because each of them is equipped with a universal capsule and is familiar with Piltover's Hextech and universal capsule, two epoch-making technologies!
When the news that a fifth-level wizard named Seville appeared in the Magic Academy spread, everyone thought it was a ridiculous joke.
They could accept the appearance of another fifth-level wizard in the Magic Academy, and they could also accept that the scientist who invented the universal capsule was a wizard.
But when these two things are combined, it is beyond the capacity of those in power in these families to accept.
Why doesn't he go to heaven?
Of course, they just thought it was a joke and sent people to check where this ridiculous news came from. The more they checked, the more they found out... It was actually me who was ridiculous? Were we really the same person?!
Wealth, power, brains, and under 20 years old?! God, did you give all of these gifts to the same person?!
Putting aside the shock and envy, the instinctive sense of those in power made them realize that there was profit to be made. Not to mention the benefits of making friends with a fifth-level wizard, just the right to sell the universal capsule was a benefit they were longing for!
Look at the Myrdal family. Although they once stood at the top of Noxus and were one of the "kings" of Noxus, they were on the verge of decline because they offended Commander Swain. However, because of a casual move in Piltover, they became responsible for the promotion and sales of Hextech and the universal capsule in Noxus, and they have gradually regained their strength in the past few months.
No one can have too much money and power.
Even Mel's mother, Anbesa Myrdal, felt a little disappointed. After all, that girl bet on the wrong person. Although Jace was also very good, this kid from Zaun was simply too powerful!
Looking at her strong arms and powerful figure in the mirror, she knew that it would be difficult for Seville to have such a special taste.
“But I have to go to the Immortal Bastion myself.” Her eyes were a little heavy. She still didn’t know whether Swain had completely let go of the Myrdal family, but she had to go.
At the same time, some other top families talked to each other and felt that it was inappropriate to make an intrusive visit and disturb them. They all thought of one person - Draven.
……
Draven was also a famous general of Noxus, but compared to his military achievements, he was more widely known for his identity or his brother, Darius.
Darius, the general who holds the position of Hand of Noxus, had previously led the most dangerous battlefield of Freljord and the war with the Claw of Winter. He was too famous! Under the suppression of this aura, no matter what Draven did, it was always easy to be ignored.
It wasn't until recent months that Draven found a new path, got a new job, and gained a different kind of reputation, becoming an honored guest of the big family.
He became a 'liquidator'.
This is also a new industry.
Because there were too many people who opposed Swain before, these prisoners were sent to the arena for execution. But the monotonous execution was too boring. By chance, Draven found that his cool flying axe could bring cheers to the whole arena when he chopped down the prisoners!
He turned routine duties into a magnificent performance, which attracted more and more audiences and gradually earned the title of "Glory Executioner".
More liquidators were born as a result. Now the execution in the arena has become the talk of the streets and a show that many nobles look forward to!
The feeling of being sought after made Draven feel unprecedentedly wonderful, but he was not actually satisfied in his heart. He felt that this was not enough. He hoped that one day the whole world would know his name and cheer for him, surpassing Darius!
Yes, the relationship between the two brothers was not actually very good, especially after Swain's coup, it dropped to a freezing point - because Draven chose to follow Swain without discussing it with Darius, forcing Darius to recognize the coup that had already taken place.
Even after Darius discovered that Swain was a wise leader, the relationship only eased slightly.
When Draven received requests from several familiar generals, he was shocked, envious and jealous of Ji Xing's youth and achievements, but at the same time, he found that an opportunity seemed to have come?
He didn't believe in the so-called fifth-level wizard. It was just a gilded title given by Commander Swain to Seville because of his identity as the inventor of Seville's universal capsule in order to recruit him.
Probably a certain level, but not too high.
Besides, has a scientist and inventor ever seen real war and blood? !
He reviewed the list of prisoners who had recently been jailed, and soon his eyes lit up.
"Riven? Oh, the female general who was once rewarded with an enchanted weapon by Darkwill? She's still alive? She defected to Ionia and was just captured and brought back? Haha, just right!"
He quickly made arrangements, ready to conquer Seville with the most exciting performance!
……
"I'm not free. I won't go."
In the material storage room of the Magic Equipment Building, Ji Xing casually handed the invitation letter to Bethes.
"You ask Kelly to write a reply letter, just to be polite and tell him that I'm studying a kind of magic and don't have time to come over."
Kelly was the second apprentice that Ji Xing accepted at the magic academy after Bethes. She was a beautiful female magic apprentice who helped him with some daily chores. As for the reason? Of course, it was because the name sounded nice.
Bethes hesitated slightly: "Master Sewell, this is an invitation from General Draven, the Honorable Executioner... His brother is General Darius, the Hand of Noxus. If you want to make friends with the noble generals, is it wrong to refuse like this..."
He didn't mean to change Ji Xing's mind, he was just offering suggestions based on his limited knowledge and experience.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "You are right, he is Darius's brother. So, let Kelly deliver the message directly to Darius's house, saying sorry to him and telling him that I don't have time to keep the appointment with his brother, and I will definitely do it next time."
"……what?"
"Go."
"Oh yes!"
Bethes felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what, so he left scratching his head.
Ji Xing picked up a feather and twirled it in his hand. This feather was not as soft as normal bird feathers, but was very hard.
Each feather is like a thorn, and if you grab it hard enough it can even cut your skin.
It comes from the special creature dragon bird of Demacia. As the name suggests, it is a sub-dragon species. The dragon bird cavalry that accompanies it has brought a lot of trouble to the invading Noxus. However, the unprovoked Noxus has also made dragon bird feathers a very popular material in its inventory.
But magicians in the magic equipment department have not found a good way to use it.
"This thing should be able to be used to weave a piece of the soft hedgehog armor that Huang Rong wears? Well, the armor of thorns is called the little soft hedgehog."
A wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips, and the color gradually darkened from light red until a purple-red flame appeared, and the feather finally softened and burned into slag.
“It can withstand temperatures of over a thousand degrees, and fuse with the True Ice fragments of the Freljord… and fuse with the Heart of the Sandworm of Shurima…”
Blueprints of dozens of weapons and equipment emerged in Ji Xing's mind, naturally accompanied by the magical essence that enchanted them.
Hundreds of new magics that had never appeared in the world were deduced and created in Ji Xing's mind, and in the end only one or two slightly interesting types remained.
This is the benefit brought by the collision of the entire magic library stored in Ji Xing's brain.
“This body has also begun to transform.”
Ji Xing could clearly feel that the magical energy in his body was spontaneously moving in a more perfect direction, without him even having to deliberately sort it out.
He felt that he was crossing a hurdle and entering a whole new realm of magic.
Demigod? Ascendant?
"Master Seville, Kelly is gone." Best returned to Ji Xing.
"Okay." Ji Xing put down the dragon feather and picked up another material to look at it.
An invitation from Draven? That's not even as fun as making Katarina some daggers.
……
On the other side, Draven was spinning his two axes, looking forward to his execution the day after tomorrow.
He never thought that Ji Xing might refuse his invitation. How could an outsider refuse him in the territory of Noxus?!
Until he did not receive a reply for a long time, but was surprised to receive a call from Darius.
Confused and confused, he walked into Darius's general's mansion again after a long time. Half an hour later, he walked out again with a gloomy face.
He was scolded, and scolded badly.
He was so furious that he even wanted to fight with Darius, but was brought back to reality by a glare.
Damn it, I can’t beat him!
"Damn it, Seville..."
Kavinka was in ecstasy, but it was too late and too short.
