Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

Lapuzes is a gorge fortress located between the Silver Mountains and the Tuku Peaks.

In the direction Seraphine and the others came from, there was an endless wilderness.

From the desert outside the immortal fortress to the nearby grassland jungle, there is no level blocking during the period.

Walking inside the fortress, except for Seraphine who was still stepping on the stage, everyone else got off the carriage or the black tiger and walked on the road.

As they moved forward, they listened to the Noxian Warden tell what was going on here.

As a student about the same age as Seraphine, Rael frowned slightly. She was not full of admiration like other students, but asked boldly:

"Isn't the empire supposed to build a lot of checkpoints? This way, the enemy's front will not be able to point directly at the immortal fortress."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Her words did not attract the attention of the guard, but instead laughed loudly with the soldiers stationed next to him.

There was even a smile on the faces of the soldiers of the Trifali Chapter.

"Daughter, you have the talent to be a general. But we are Noxians, and no one can reach the Immortal Fortress."

The general's face was indifferent:

"Even this fortress, as our territory moves forward, is no longer a military powerhouse."

"It turns out...to be taught."

Rael nodded slightly to show that he understood.

In the Zhanzheng Academy, she had a new life that was completely different from that in the Black Rose Academy, and this life made her feel exceptionally good.

Especially after listening to the lectures of the veterans, for some reason, she felt a yearning feeling in her heart. In normal times, she would occasionally go to the War Department to attend some courses.

"The Noxians...seem to be quite straightforward."

Walking in the middle of the team, Poppy looked around with a hammer and muttered something.

At the very least, she had to admit that she had been reckless before.

Noxians are indeed not that evil, but she can't say that she has much affection, after all, Demacians should not like Noxians!

The team arrived at the temporary station, which was an empty stone house.

Lapzes is the main road from west to east, and many merchants and troops from various regions will rest here for a day.

The guard learned that Seraphine and others were coming, and had already arranged an area originally for merchants to temporarily station, and the corresponding living facilities were complete.

As soon as they arrived at the station, everyone started to get busy.

The students and the Cui Fali battle group each took one side and packed up.

Looking at these busy little guys, Bobby opened his mouth slightly:

"They are still so young, how can you treat them like this!"

She saw a group of half-old children dragging big boxes out of the carriage together, and the soldiers of the Trifali warband next to them didn't help, but focused on their own business.

Such a scene is impossible to see in Demacia.

Helping the weak is Demacia's beautiful virtue since the founding of the country. If it weren't for Seraphine to pull her, she would have already rolled up her sleeves to help.

"Why don't you let me help them?" Poppy was a little angry.

"This is one of their courses as the students of the Zhanzheng Academy." Seraphine said with a smile, "Since they came out of the immortal fortress, they were a small group themselves, and they had to learn to solve things internally instead of seeking other solutions. Human help."

"But they're still young..." Poppy shook his head disapprovingly.

This kind of behavior of allowing children to grow savagely can't get her approval.

"If a young eagle wants to spread its wings and soar, it has to try to spread its own wings at a very young age."

Seraphine took the packet from the carriage and floated to the hut the guard had arranged for her.

Seeing her leaving, Poppy hesitated for a while, but went to the carriage and said to the little mage she just met:

"Hey Lund, let me help you."

"Bobbie, thank you, huh...I can do it myself!"

Lund was a thin boy with freckles on his white face. At this moment, his face was flushed red, and his thin arms used all his strength to pull his luggage out of the carriage.

"Hee hee, Poppy, leave us alone, we can do it ourselves." The speaker was Lund's partner, a girl with brown braids named Kai.

"Kay, I got it down," Lund shouted.

"This side is ready, drop it!" Kai said.

"Good!" Lund pushed the box off the carriage.

"wind!"

Kai shouted, and an upward wind rose from the ground, catching the big box firmly.

"Right now, Lund!"

"Look at me!"

Lund just returned to the ground and gave a loud drink.

A clod of soil rose from the ground, and the large wooden box landed smoothly on it.

"It's a bit strenuous...but there's a sense of relief..."

Poppy watched Lund and Kay say goodbye to her and left with the suitcase.

At this moment, there was a little complexity in her eyes.

Carrying luggage is not a very difficult thing, but it is indeed a difficult thing for these skinny children who are generally only 8-10 years old.

Although...they are all mages.

Magic, used to look to her

Also a very evil thing.

In the old days of Demacia, everyone saw magic as a wolf.

She didn't know when this started, but seeing the resistance of the dyers to the seekers, she acquiesced to it as a fact.

But looking at the children in front of her, she couldn't connect magic and evil.

"What are you thinking?" Seraphine's brisk voice came from behind, and she followed Poppy's line of sight. "Are you surprised that they are representatives from Noxus?"

Poppy frowned slightly, but still stubbornly said:

"They are all demon dyers!"

"Yes, my teacher called Noxus the beginning of the magical civilization. In the future, magic will be our greatest strength." Seraphine's eyes were bright.

She had heard her teacher talk about the vision of a future magical civilization.

It was an unforgettable world that captivated everyone.

People's clothing, food, housing and transportation are related to magic, just like Piltover's mechanical car. This type of travel tool will be improved by magic to facilitate people's daily travel.

In the Noxus region, the road will be illuminated by magic lights at night in the future, and all travelers will not deviate from the road because of the dark night.

The magic lamp, which is now full of immortal fortresses, is the masterpiece of Senator Morgana, making the immortal fortress at night as bright as day.

In addition, there are many magical imaginations...

The floating castle flying in the sky, the underwater city sealed under the water, and even the magic spaceship that can fly out of Rune Land...

All these made her look forward to the future described by her teacher.

Compared to Seraphine who praised magic, Poppy was different. She shook her head and said:

"Demacians don't accept magic!"

"Hmm..." Seraphine blinked, "Pobby, did you enter the Silver Mountains a long time ago?"

"It seems that the day and night have changed dozens of times, so it shouldn't be too long." Pope replied truthfully.

Although, she didn't know what it had to do with magic.

"Demacia is different now. Just a few days ago, they announced the abolition of the ban on magic."

"Abolish the demon ban!? Abolish?!"

Poppy's voice was high, full of disbelief:

"That's the rule that Lord Oren agreed to set up. How can they abolish it if they say it is abolished!"

"Who is Oren?" Seraphine asked curiously.

In her memory, she really had no impression of this character.

She doesn't know much about the history of Demacia at the moment, and she is preparing to take some lessons along the way.

"Lord Oren is Demacia's most heroic hero, he..."

Poppy gushed about Oren's goodness.

Seraphine nodded from time to time, surprise in her eyes.

Oren, a general during the founding of Demacia hundreds of years ago.

And Poppy joined Demacia at that time.

Demacia had just been founded, and everything needed to be re-established. In view of the fact that most of the citizens of the time had suffered from magic, Oren and some other leaders, as representatives, jointly proposed a ban on magic at the voice of the majority of the people.

From that day on, Demacia will refuse to admit any wizard, and if a wizard is born among them, they will raise him up and banish him.

This was the content of the prohibition of magic at that time, and Seraphine had to admit that although the implementation of this ordinance was a bit rude later, it was indeed in line with Demacia at the time.

They suffer from magic, but they don't blindly see magic as a demon, they just resist it.

It was only later, perhaps because of some reasons, that it evolved into an event of expulsion and even slave trade, regardless of age.

"Bobbie, the country's policies are not static. Perhaps, Miss Laksana, who initiated the abolition of the ban, is a hero like Oren."

Seeing that Poppy was in a low mood, Seraphine comforted her softly, and told a little story about Laxana.

"Well, listening to you, she does look like a hero."

"Yes! Hero! Hero!"

Talking, Poppy seemed to get excited again:

"Yes! Yes! Yes! She might be Demacia's unparalleled hero. I'll give her the hammer!"

"Hammer? Isn't this your weapon?" Seraphine asked curiously.

Although she had never seen Poppy swing the hammer, the wound of the thorn wolf was obviously caused by the hammer in Poppy's hand.

"No, no, it used to be Lord Oren's weapon. I'm just keeping it for now. I want to find the hero of Demacia for Lord Oren and give him the hammer!"

Poppy looked firm and began to tell the story of the time...

In previous conversations, Seraphine had learned that Oren was deeply loved in Demacia.

In the new story Bobby tells, it is even more legendary.

In Demacia a long time ago, Oren was seldom seen toying with his warhammer, but he always carried it on his back.

Thanks to Oren's exploits, the warhammer soon became a sacred symbol of the emerging kingdom.

Some people even rumored that this giant hammer has the power to destroy the world and shake the earth.

As Oren was dying, he entrusted the warhammer to Poe.

than, and passed on his hope for the long-term peace and stability of the country at the end of his life.

Only then did Oren tell Poppy the story of the hammer, how it was created, and how it was not meant to be his weapon.

He told Poppy that the hammer was made for "the greatest hero of Demacia", the only one capable of guarding the unity and unity of Demacia.

Since then, Poppy has vowed to find the peerless hero and find its true owner for the hammer.

Hearing the determination in Poppy's tone, Seraphine looked at her subconsciously.

The giant hammer is almost taller than Poppy's man, but inexplicably...there is a sense of fit.

Naturally, even after hundreds of years, Poppy is still looking for the legendary peerless hero.

For such a person, Seraphine was full of respect.

Although, she seemed to understand... Who the peerless hero Oren was referring to was.

But that result may be too cruel for Bobby, who has been searching for hundreds of years.

She had a smile on her face, as if joking:

"Maybe, the peerless hero Oren refers to is Poppy!"

"Hahaha, how is it possible, where do I have that ability."

Poppy thought that Seraphine was joking, but didn't care, but analyzed seriously:

"If you want me to say, Laxana may really be the peerless hero I'm looking for! She can dare to question the rules that Lord Oren and the others once set, and dare to speak out the drawbacks of Demacia. Lord Oren is very similar."

She rambled on Laxana, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, as if she had already made up her mind that Laxana was the hero.

Seraphine looked at Poppy strangely, and did not say what she thought, but followed her words very understandingly:

"Perhaps, Miss Laxana is the one you're looking for. Then, why don't we give her a test."

"What test!?" Poppy came to the spirit.

A true hero should not be afraid of any test.

Seraphine blinked her eyes, and there was a hint of interest in her eyes:

"I heard that they will elect the Minister of Magic in a few days. With Miss Laxana's talent, she should be able to be elected, otherwise it would be impossible to be called a hero."

"Of course!" Bobby said rightly, "If she is a real hero, she will not lose to anyone!"

She had heard about Laxana from Seraphine.

Tomorrow will be the day when the other party will face His Highness Jarvan.

She had heard of Her Royal Highness Jarvan, an outstanding general, but she did not expect that he could actually do magic.

She had never heard anyone else mention this before.

As a prince, he concealed magic for fear of being expelled, and Poppy didn't have a good impression of him.

"Yes, yes." Seraphine replied with a smile, "We are a Noxus exchange group, and the person who will contact us should be one of the eight officials, most likely as the Minister of Magic. Miss Laxana."

They were a group of mages, and she had heard from Lady Syndra before leaving that the Crown Guard would help them when they arrived in Xiongdu.

Thinking of it this way, there is a very high probability that Laxanna Crownguard will receive them.

"So?" Poppy's eyes flashed with excitement.

"If you want, you can pretend to be a Noxian, or watch it secretly when you communicate to see if she is the hero you are looking for."

"Well... you have a good idea!" Bobby nodded in agreement.

Although pretending to be a Noxian made her a little repulsive, after her brief contact, there were many advantages to a Noxian.

Anyway, it's just a tentative plan, she can still get in touch again, and she can change the plan at any time.

When Seraphine heard Poppy's affirmative answer, she showed a bright smile, pulled Poppy enthusiastically, and began to talk about the follow-up matters about the exchange mission.
