Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Although poaching may not sound good, the real effect is still very good.

If Irelia can really poach Sona, then she will undoubtedly have a clearer understanding of the reasons why Demacia has come to this day, which will be important for her to return to Ionia in the future and reorganize the new land. significance.

Moreover, in Irelia's opinion, poaching Sona is really feasible.

In today's New Demacia, from the perspective of an outsider like Irelia, Sona's identity is very special.

As one of the three giants in the North, after the establishment of New Demacia, Lux ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Ino held important positions within the Archon. However, Sona seemed to have lost her power and did not enter New Demacia. The center of power.

Although the director of culture and arts and the chairman of the Arts Support Association are also prominent, the cultural field has never been a department with real power. Now Irelia has some understanding of the political structure of New Demacia. She is very aware of the clerks and the royal court. The latter is now the most important part of the new Demacia. Compared with it, the field of culture and art can only be regarded as a sideline.

Irelia has no problem understanding the situation in New Demacia.

The clerks, the Archon, and the reorganized Demacia Army are the three legs on which this country relies.

Compared with these three organizations, the field of culture and art is at best a tail.

Moreover, Demacia's cultural and artistic fields are now filled with a large number of old nobles from the past - although Lux has implemented compulsory education in the north for more than ten years, even now, Demacia's real writers , artists are mostly from noble backgrounds.

Art education is quite a luxury, and it has always been ranked relatively low in Lux's plans. It has never been the main direction that needs to be paid attention to before people have enough to eat and drink.

It is precisely for this reason that the old aristocracy still has a certain influence in the field of culture and art to this day. Although it is not as good as in the past, at least artists can be regarded as the identity that the old aristocrats can best use now.

In this case, Sona serves as the director of culture and art, which gives people the feeling of "not allowed to be reused" no matter how you look at it.

In addition, according to some rumors, Sona's Bouvier family, like other noble families, was liquidated after the establishment of New Demacia, a large amount of property was confiscated, and Bouvier Manor was transformed into a community garden. The artwork was sent to the Xiongdu Museum.

Although a large part of the reason for this is that Barrett Bouvier, as a die-hard loyalist of Jarvan IV, opposed Laxana's ascension to the throne, such a handling may inevitably cause Sona's dissatisfaction.

In fact, even in the current view of Irelia, such a treatment method is really too harsh, even for Irelia who is quite dissatisfied with the elders and monks of Ionia and has a natural dislike for conservatives. Ya, also thinks Sona is among the victims.

Unfortunately, what Irelia didn't realize was that the sacrifice was worth it.

It is precisely because the Bouvier family has been dealt with in this way, and the Crownguard family has been split up after returning to Mithral City, and other nobles are indeed speechless when faced with the treatment of New Demacia.

What to do!

The three giants in the north are more cruel to their own families. After Laxana came to the throne, she dismantled the Crownguard family, Sona presided over the property review of the Bouvier family, and Ino's brother is not even a team leader now. None of them got involved, which allowed the Big Three to act with full confidence, no scruples, and no fear when cleaning up internally.

And this, even if Irelia had an attitude of learning with an open mind, she would not be able to understand it for a while.

Objectively speaking, Irelia does have the capital to do this, because although she comes from the Zan family, the largest clan in Shang Zan, she is almost alone now - almost all the men in the Zan family have died. In the midst of the Ionian War, all that remains of what was once the largest family in Shanzan is a lonely tomb.

It is precisely because she has truly experienced the pain of losing a loved one that Irelia sincerely believes that there is no problem with being close to her loved ones. Therefore, when the elders came up with "Don't let more Ionians die because of the war, "Don't let more Ionian children lose their parents", even though Irelia and the Noxians were truly at odds with each other, she still accepted the ceasefire and did not continue to organize Weili. Fight back.

There are always some things that you only know how precious they are when you lose them.

From a little girl learning silk dance to the leader of Ionia, although Irelia has many immature aspects, the pain and suffering she has experienced along the way is unimaginable to everyone. of.

No one could imagine that a young lady from a well-born family, when she went to Presiden to learn silk dancing and returned home, saw that the huge Zan family manor had been turned into a Noxian residence, and that her familiar father and brother were all gone. How desperate it is to be placed in tombs in the garden because of their "heroic resistance".

No one can know what kind of bravery a woman who has never learned combat skills before chose to assassinate when the Noxians planned to take away the Zan family emblem as a trophy. After the Zan family emblem was smashed, the moment-breaking blade danced a song of escape from an ambush from all sides.

No one could understand why a girl less than fifteen years old would join the militia at this darkest moment when the Noxian army was advancing with great success and no one in Ionia could challenge it. In battle after battle, he charged forward with the moment-breaking blade and gradually became a supported leader.

No one could predict how powerful the silk dance, which was once regarded as a celebratory dance at various celebrations, would explode after being soaked in blood, and how many people would be inspired to courage. , as part of the celebration ceremony, the significance of the silk dance gradually exceeded the celebration itself during the war.

No one can understand what Irelia mustered after Presidence was heavily besieged by the army and became a thorn in Swain's plan. When the Presideians were even looking for a way to evacuate honorably, With courage and strength, he chose to sneak into the Noxian army to contact the prisoners in the rear.

No one can understand how much Irelia, who was hated by her country and her family, had to convince herself before she accepted peace talks with the Noxians. She would not forget the tombs all over the Zan Family Manor, no. Chichi Chiri would forget the province of Navoli, but in the end, she chose to side with the living people of Ionia.

It is precisely because few people can imagine this that they will not know the reasons for Irelia's choice, nor will they predict that her hair will grow old overnight after leaving the political arena. They will not be able to understand the pain that cannot be expressed in her heart, and they will not understand. She once again plucked up the courage to go outside and see what kind of courage and strength it would take to find the stone from another mountain.

In Demacia, the Director of Culture and Arts is not an important identity.

But in Ionia, the Ionians who believe in animism care more about their inner feelings. Irelia believes that Sona, as an Ionian and a refugee from the Ionian war, should Can resonate with myself.

Her strength, her talent, and her knowledge will have a broader space for development in the land of birth!

……………………

Irelia made a lot of preparations before meeting Sona.

However, from the very beginning, the meeting went in a direction that Irelia could not have expected.

First up is Sona herself.

Irelia never knew before that Sona was actually aphasic. She couldn't speak and relied on the zodiac in her hand to communicate.

Then, there is Sona’s understanding of the director of culture and art.

Irelia also didn't expect that Sona herself really liked these things. She liked playing, music, listening to people's voices and connecting people's wills together.

So for her, director of culture and arts is a perfect job.

After realizing Sona's mood at this time, Irelia even felt a little jealous in her heart.

Yes, it was jealousy - in a sense, when Irelia looked at Sona, it was as if she was looking into a magic mirror.

Irelia was very happy in her childhood. She had a loving grandmother, a strict father, and brothers who took good care of her. Although it was a bit difficult to learn silk dance, she still loved dancing. She had dreamed of dancing in Shangzan since she was a child. Dance a silk dance in a celebration of fertility.

However, Sona was not happy in her childhood. The first time she was discovered was outside the orphanage, with Xian Hua. As she grew older, she was found to be congenitally aphasic and needed the help of even the simplest emotional expression. Only Jue Hua can do it.

However, with the arrival of the Noxian invaders, the lives of the two people seemed to have ushered in a two-level reversal.

Irelia's family was ruined, and her former hobby has now become a means of killing and a ritual to boost morale. To this day, she doesn't know how long it has been since she danced a silk dance sincerely. When she looked at Suo When Na was enjoying the music while stroking the strings and communicating with others, Irelia's envy almost turned into jealousy uncontrollably.

An unspeakable violence began to grow in her heart. Even though it was clear that Sona could not do anything at that time, and even her decision to leave Ionia was not made by herself, she would still inevitably think of When war comes, the difference between oneself and the other party.

The people who stayed behind experienced hardships and hardships along the way. Even though they finally defeated the enemy, their efforts were not completed and they finally left in embarrassment and disheartened.

On the contrary, those who escaped the war early became successful in a foreign country and could do their favorite work in their favorite field.

Irelia is different from Lux. She is not good at acting or concealing. Even in war, she rarely implements complicated plans. Her inspiration relies on her sincerity, so her emotions After the change, even if her reason told her that it was not Sona's fault, she still lost the ability to execute her planned plan.

She could no longer infect the other party with her emotions, let alone make Sona perceive her frankness and determination. Irelia even had a faint urge to get up and leave - only after meeting an old friend in a foreign land did she Realizing that it seems that the inner demons carved into him by the Ionian War have not been eliminated at all even after leaving the First Land.

This feeling was undoubtedly quite painful for her.

However, since Irelia is not good at hiding it, Sona, who is talking to her, senses her emotions very clearly.

"You are in pain." Sona's fingers brushed the strings, "You have desires, and you seem to be unwilling. You are suppressing yourself. Miss Irelia, if you don't mind, maybe you can tell me explain."

"..."

Irelia remained silent, silently thinking about the reasons and excuses for leaving, and how to make herself look more natural.

"Don't worry." Sona continued to pluck the strings, "I am the strictest person in Demacia."

Saying that a mute is the most stern person undoubtedly has a hint of black humor - but considering that Sona is talking about herself, there is a hint of open-mindedness behind this black humor.

After hearing these words, Irelia's subconsciously frowning eyebrows loosened slightly.

Feeling the other party's wavering, Sona once again expressed her thoughts through Jiaohua.

"I heard that Miss Irelia is very good at silk dancing. When I was a child, I once thought that maybe one day, I might be a fiddle player at the Zhiyun Fertility Celebration."

"It's a pity that I left Ionia before I had time to learn the Fertility Suite - even though I later got the score of the Fertility Suite from some Ionian businessmen, I still couldn't play it myself. smell."

Irelia was silent.

The music and dance of the fertility celebration are part of the ceremony. They are not simple dances and sounds, but a linkage with the spirit world. Without the ability to communicate with all spirits, even if the music is accurate, there will indeed be no such thing. A taste.

Just like Irelia now, she knows every move and every beat of the Dance of Fertility, but even without the moment-breaking blade, her dance is always full of murderous atmosphere, making people feel it completely There is no joy of harvest.

"Come on, Miss Irelia, play a song with me." Although she could feel the resistance in Irelia's eyes, Sona still stood up with a smile and took the initiative to extend her invitation, "Will If you put everything in your heart, you are bound to gain nothing but heaviness.”

Irelia didn't want to dance.

But as if by mistake, when she realized this clearly, she had already arrived at Sona's private music room, and Sona had cleared a large space enough for her to dance, pursed her lips, and hugged Kuo. Hua waited in the corner.

Under this situation, Irelia simply stood in the middle of the music room and simply called out the Torment Breaking Blade.

Just jump!

The next moment, as the music of the fertility ceremony sounded, amidst the resonance of the chords, Irelia slowly leaned down, like a piece of wheat blown by the autumn wind, and began the dance of fertility.

However, unlike the dancers who looked like heavy ears of wheat at the fertility celebration, Irelia, who felt a bit like a broken jar in her heart, simply straightened her back, just like she did on the battlefield in Presidence. Same as above.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Sona's lips. She seemed to feel something in her heart, and added a bit of heroic hymn to the melody of the Energetic Suite. (End of chapter)
