League of Legends Millennium Warlord
Chapter 728 Chapter726 Did Sleepy Bobby run away?
The slums built under the outer walls of the Immortal Fortress and adjacent to the southern part of the Pagrus Three Peaks have always been home to a group of people abandoned by the empire.
Thousands of abandoned citizens of the empire, like centipedes and cockroaches, linger in dilapidated shacks, relying on relief and selling their bodies to survive. Unless they voluntarily become slaves or enter the liquidation arena, they will never be qualified to leave the slums.
Just because our ancestors made unforgivable mistakes, the glory and glory of Noxus could not shine through the thick fortress on these abandoned children of the empire.
Whether it is right or wrong, wronged or deserved, the sins of the ancestors are unreasonably carried on the shoulders of young people.
At this moment, only the will of the new emperor of the empire came to this bad place where even mice shook their heads when they looked at it.
But for Karthus, none of this has anything to do with him.
He had more important things to do than ponder whether the empire had a new owner.
"Karsus, I heard that the empire has an emperor? What kind of person do you think he is? He would actually lift the slums for us?"
The girl lying on the straw bed provided by the almshouse has dirty short brown hair. Her whole body exudes the smell of sourness and decay. The yellow-brown abscess scabs at the base of her thighs are broken again, and flies are occasionally surrounding the girl's forehead. It flew by while wiping the tip of its nose, looking greedily at the girl's few lives.
Only a pair of eyes shone with the light of hope. This light was a bit dazzling. Karsus did not dare to look at it. He just lowered his head and vigorously stirred the porridge provided by the almshouse.
This is his eldest sister Grace. Less than half a meter away from her eldest sister, there is another skinny girl lying on the rotten straw bed. That is the second sister Virginia.
As for the third sister, Vebrunia, she was buried in a mass grave at the foot of the mountain by the Qianjue Order yesterday, and became a shallow notch on the death recorder's cane.
"I don't know. Anyway, the emperor doesn't care about us abandoned people. Besides, where can we go if we leave here?"
The thin-cheeked boy shook his head, took half a spoonful of rice porridge with a spoon and leaned it against Grace's chapped lips. His face remained as indifferent as ever, or perhaps numb.
"Sister, today's porridge seems to be much thicker than before. Drink it quickly. It won't taste good when it gets cold."
After serving lunch to the eldest sister and the second sister, and waiting until the two frail sisters went to sleep, Karsus had rare free time.
His father didn't know where he was drinking, so there was no point in returning to that dilapidated shack. After thinking about it, Karsus decided to go see his third sister.
Mass graves are not like hero tombs with sword tablets engraved with life's great achievements, nor are they like ordinary tombstones with surnames and first names.
The mass graves in the slums only contain grave mounds of varying heights, and cross wooden branches stuck on the soft mounds of soil - this is the only thing that the buryers of the Order of Kindred can do for the dead in the slums.
After bypassing several brand-new grave mounds, Karsus came to the grave of his third sister.
His mother was buried in this mass grave as early as the day he was born. He could not find where her mother was, so he could only stubbornly believe that her mother had already lived with his third sister.
"Third sister, I don't know if you have seen our mother. If you have seen her, please help me tell her that there is no need to worry here. The eldest sister and the second sister are both fine, and dad is also very healthy."
After thinking for a while, the boy added in a low voice.
"Third sister, people from the Qianjue Order say that death is not the end. Everyone will go to a world belonging to the breathless after death. If this is true, can I reunite with you and my mother through death?"
"My child, death does not bring people together, it only brings rest to weary souls."
Karsus turned around and looked at the person.
Accompanied by the squeaking sound of the cart, a short old man wearing a gray robe slowly approached the mass grave from behind. He raised his arms and the corpses wrapped in straw mats on the cart seemed to have a will of their own. Roll into the pit that has been prepared.
"The pain of living is enough. A kind mother of death will not let her children continue to suffer after death. This is the only hope of us living people."
Taking off the shovel from the wheelbarrow filled with lifeless energy, the old man's face full of wrinkles and acne slowly opened up. This smile looked extremely scary, but Karsus saw gentleness and peace. This peace made him feel at peace. down.
Ralph, the buryer of the Order of Kindred, is a respectable old man who voluntarily comes to the slums to let the dead rest in peace. Even the death recorder will maintain enough respect for this old man.
Those pimples were the marks left by long-term exposure to plague and the dead. Ralph volunteered to do the most dangerous job in the Order. According to some rumors, Ralph once served as a priest of the Kindred Order.
"Child, I can see that you still have many doubts. I can also see that you are thinking about the issue of life and death. This is a good thing. Thinking about the issue of life and death can make us understand the preciousness of life. .”
While Karsus was observing the buryer, the buryer Ralph was also observing the twelve-year-old boy not far away. His hands kept moving, and the heavy shovel could penetrate deeply into the mound every time. Among them, he picked up a shovelful of dark red grave soil and covered the deceased's body.
"Grandpa Ralph, what exactly is Kindred to us?"
"Child, come here."
Ralph paused and waved to Karsus. Without much hesitation, Karsus, full of questions, quickly left the third sister's grave and came to the new burial pit.
Under Karsus' puzzled gaze, Ralph handed the shovel in his hand to Karsus.
"Do what I just did."
Karsus hesitated, not because he was worried that the old man would harm him, but because he was worried that he would offend the deceased.
"Grandpa Ralph, I am not a member of the religious order. It is up to me to bury the dead..."
"This has nothing to do with the Order."
The old man smiled and said the treacherous words lightly.
"Death treats everyone equally, and everyone is mortal. Qianjue is the guide, but it is not the final destination. As long as we treat each other sincerely, anyone is qualified to let his soul rest in peace."
"But...I heard that the current emperor of the empire has lived for thousands of years..."
Karsus finally found the connection between the Emperor and himself, but found that the old man's face was a little complicated.
"The Holy Emperor is an existence transcending death..."
"But you just said that death treats everyone equally."
The old man's face finally darkened, and his hands holding the shovel tightened.
He can't say that the Holy Emperor is not a human being, and it doesn't matter if he slanders Qian Jue. If he dares to slander the emperor, he will definitely suffer no good consequences when word spreads.
"Are you going to dig it or not?"
Glancing calmly at the old man's hands holding the shovel, Karsus nodded.
"dig."
Taking the heavy pointed shovel from Ralph's hand, Karsus shoveled a shovelful of soil with difficulty, and used all his strength to dump it into the pit.
At this moment, he seemed to feel the weight of life.
As the bodies are buried in the soil, the last traces of life in this world will eventually be lost.
Just as he wants to talk to his mother and third sister now, he can only talk to him through a mound.
"Tell me, how do you feel?"
His expression softened a bit, and Ralph patiently stared at the young man. As long as he didn't say some dangerous questions, this young man who was related to the cult was quite pleasing to the eye.
"rest in peace."
Karsus looked down at the body that had been buried in the dust.
"He and I found peace at the same time. I was on the edge of life, and he was on the edge of...death."
Hearing this, the old man smiled, very happily.
"Do you want to join the Order of Qian Jue? I am an old man, and I am increasingly unable to do my job. I just lack a young man to help me bury my body, so that I can rest and rest. Of course, your wages are definitely indispensable. With this money, you can also buy some better herbs for your two sisters.”
Unable to find any reason to refuse, Karsus found a decent job and clumsily built a new grave mound under the watchful eye of the old man, and listened to the old man sing his last farewell requiem.
…
After the new framework of the empire was completed and everything was on track, Lester handed over the affairs of the empire to the cabinet minister Xina and became the hands-off manager.
Xina is in charge of the base camp Fidelite, Misha and LeBlanc are handling affairs in the Immortal Fortress, and the two most important cities in the empire are under control. The cabinet composed of the harem plays a special role at this moment - it wants to overthrow the empire. It was necessary to subvert these demigod-level women. Lester did not believe that anyone in this world could pry into the corner of his, Prince of Joy.
Not to mention, Janna, who has left his body, is using the power of faith to monitor most of the Noxus Empire in Fidelite's [Temple of Winds]. Janna, who has become the goddess of the empire, is finally proud and has obtained the matching name of a god. The power of faith.
After taking over the empire, Lester took Mirrorclaw, Yuwei and Syndra and headed to the ancient city of Liinland, preparing to wake up the sleepy Poppy Wigus who was sleeping in the confinement.
Thain's body had already arrived at the imperial stronghold outside the Shadow Island and was sealed in the headquarters of the Sentinel of Light awaiting further disposal.
Speaking of Vigus, things are a bit complicated. After meeting Vigus, Lester originally wanted to take Vigus with him to Ionia. Unfortunately, Vigus, a sleepy bobby, didn't care about Ionia. Ya's generous environment is extremely uninteresting, and he just wants Lester to return to Shadow Island with him to enjoy the lonely and boring life.
With no other choice, Lester could only promise to go back to Shadow Island with Vigus for adventure. Before that, he introduced Vigus to one of the three most underworld places in the Noxus Empire - Lester. The ancient city of Yinlan.
The ancient city of Leinland is a lost city built by the people of Leinland that has become history. After many reinforcements and constructions by the Emerald Territory, it has become a war fortress that suppresses the Demacians [Wall of Glory].
This land located to the west of the Silent Forest has experienced wars many times and is also the battlefield most familiar to Noxians and Demacians. However, to trace the birth of the ancient city of Leinland, it was also invaded by the Emerald Territory from Leinland. start,
That was more than five hundred years ago. Faced with an attack by the Emerald Territory from the sky and the sky, the Liyinlan people from the Western Continent chose to sacrifice to the evil totem, and then a heart-wrenching gray mist erupted. Coincidentally, he attracted the most inhumane thing in Runeterra, the number one demon that even Lester was a little scared of - the ancient fear Fiddlesticks.
Under the double blow of the evil gray mist and Fiddlesticks, the Dragon Bird Legion and the Dragon Lizard Knights were destroyed by more than half because they escaped from the gray mist in time. However, the Noxus Black Iron Guards First Legion failed to escape from the gray mist in time. Wu Er suffered an unprecedented defeat,
Thousands of people lost their lives on the land of Leinland. This was the first time since the Emerald Territory established a powerful army that an organized force was annihilated.
At the cost of blindness, Legion Commander Milton and the accompanying Mage Meimi sealed the gray mist of Leinland and the scythe of the original demon. In the end, only eight people came out of the gray mist alive.
Even in the Emerald Territory, the files about the ancient city of Liyinlan are top secrets among the top secrets. Most people's knowledge of Liyinlan is the news specially released by the Emerald Territory, that is, "out-of-control black magic caused by foreigners in the Western Continent" "Disaster" actually involves the belief in the evil gods of the Western Continent and the original demons of the Eastern Continent.
The changes in the ancient city of Liyinlan were truly extraordinary disasters.
All in all, Liinland became a forbidden place after being sealed, especially since there was still a thin layer of gray mist within the inner fort.
Meimi, who used the Eternal Catalyst Stone to imprison Fiddlesticks' Scythe, has long been turned into withered bones, but the withered bones still seem to exude the breath of life, guiding the power of the Eternal Catalyst Stone to form the Original Axiom Sealing Scythe, maintaining a delicate balance with the gray mist.
This balance has been maintained for more than five hundred years. Even Lester dare not break it at will, even if he wants to collect the body of the hero Mimi of the Emerald Territory, it shows how terrifying Liinlan's sealed thing is.
Originally she just wanted to try her luck, but when she came to the ancient city of Leinland for the first time, Wigus instantly fell in love with the desperate and weird atmosphere in the castle. Under Lester's gaze, she fell headfirst inside. and fell asleep beyond the castle's seal,
If the shadow of Vigus hadn't shown any aggression, Lester would have even suspected that he had murdered the adorable Sleepy Bobby.
It has been four years since the last time I saw Vigus. Although the seal and Vigus have always been stable according to the magic guard's report, Lester has not lost the necessary vigilance.
The dragon bird landed on the outermost edge of the ancient city of Liyinlan. The group of people jumped off the dragon bird used as a means of transportation and handed the dragon bird to the magic guards for placement.
Different from the curious eyes of other women, Lester's eyes only looked solemn towards this strange and dilapidated ancient city.
"Where is Vigus?"
The magic guard responsible for guarding the magic seal in the outer city of Leinland was a middle-aged female mage with black lightning. The female mage, who was somewhat suspicious of the identity of the visitor, glanced at the magic token in Leicester's hand, and then her face changed drastically. , instantly put on a humble smile.
"Back to Your Majesty, Vigus is still sleeping outside the inner castle."
"Take me to see Vigus."
