Chapter 588 Riven
"That's why I came to help Ionia, with the purpose of stopping the expansion of the empire and preventing the growth of this threat."
Yes, Geno came to help the weak Ionia, not just because Oriana told him that he wanted world peace.
In order to curb the expansion of the threat, he did not allow Noxus to launch a large-scale war during Svein's administration, because it would fuel the power of the disaster.
There are only three people in this world who know clearly what terrible secrets are hidden deep in the underground of the Immortal Fortress, and Geno is one of them.
"You are telling why the ghost story, you can't understand at all." Akali frowned and looked at Jeno with disgust.
What is shadow and what threat will shadow bring? I can't explain anything clearly. I'm really worth beating.
"You don't need to understand. I can only say that it is deep in the Immortal Fortress of the Imperial Capital, which is an area that you will never reach in your life. You should think carefully about how to guard Precidian."
As Jeno said, he lay down and retracted his head into the bed.
"But what if Ionia hit the Immortal Fortress?" Akali refused to give in.
"Do you think it's possible? Lifetime series?" A sneered hum from the bed.
"Uh... I don't think it's OK, it's just an assumption." Akali thought about it carefully. With Ionia's military strength, she probably couldn't even go out to sea. After all, they didn't even have a decent warship. It was really no different from being foolish about entering the territory of Noxus.
"If there was a peaceful day in Aino, maybe I could take you to visit the Immortal Fortress." The sound in the bed slowly sank.
"Okay, what you said, don't regret it!" Akali agreed happily, but a well-proportioned breathing sound had already been heard from the bed.
In the end, she still had insomnia because she was overly excited.
...
The plow blade cuts the hard soil on the surface and turns the earth into a private storage in winter under the spring sky.
Riven held the plow frame and walked on a small farmland behind the plowing ox. She skillfully held the handle of the front beam, letting the plow blade turn up the fragrance of the fertile soil, and also opened the flying memories.
This is the field of Mr. Kong De. Since the battle of Noah, Riven has lived here for more than ten years. Mr. Kong and his wife Shawa adopted her. Riven is now their goddaughter.
They didn't mind at all that Riven was a Noxusian who participated in the war and treated her like her own children, even if their real biological children died in the war.
Riven has to do a lot of farm work every day because she is guilty.
After the mystery of Elder Suma's cause of death was solved, Ruiwen was sentenced to lifelong punishment of heavy work and rest as the culprit. She had to come and go in the village every day to work hard for those empty-nest elderly people who died in the war. It has been almost nine years now.
The high-intensity farming did not crush Riven because she was a farmer before joining the army, and she is still very young and strong now. She can farm without having to raise the butcher knife anymore, but instead makes her feel very happy, because everyone slowly accepted her and gradually forgot her identity as a murderer and an imperial soldier. This is also the past she wanted to abandon.
She is very satisfied with the present, her second hometown that was hurt by her, and the fulfilling and simple new life she gave her, which also makes up for the emotions she lacked as an orphan.
In addition, she made a friend.
The person she deserves the most, Yasuo.
Yasuo was still wandering around, but he still did not forget to come back every year to see the things hurt. He just said a few words to Riven, who had been killed by his master, was as if he had been well received from labor reform.
But every time he came without preparation, and left unexpectedly, like a gust of unruly wind, and he couldn't even keep it.
Riven did not worry about Yasuo because he and she had their own way to go, and the name of this road was called Atonement.
The skinny cow flipped his ears and dragged the plow forward. The plowhead splashed a few pieces of gravel and hit Riven, but she didn't realize it at all.
She was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, and her sleeves covered with mud were rolled up and rolled into a large bundle, revealing her healthy wheat-colored skin.
The pants of the same texture have been dyed yellow and become dry and hard. The shortened legs are too short for the original owner, but they just swept over her ankle and touched the mud-covered upper.
She used her sleeve to wipe a strand of sweaty hair on the tip of her eyebrows. The heat from the soil forced her to tie her short white hair into a ponytail. The hair that was cut randomly short gently brushed her, but she did not slow down.
Riven's arms were very strong, and he could hold the plow frame with one hand. The old farmer went home to get the water bag and lunch. He said she could rest and wait for him in the shade of the field, but Riven insisted on finishing her work.
But something happened in the distance, and she might not have finished her farm work.
Through the thin soles of the shoe, Riven felt the ground trembling. A sound of thunder rolling in the distance, but there was no cloud in the sky.
Riven turned around and looked west along the hill. A large number of cavalry emerged from the ridge, wearing her extremely familiar standard armor, and was rushing towards the cultivated land where she was.
Riven stopped suddenly, paused the handle of the plow in her hand, and the reins strangled the skinny plowing ox. The plowshare hit a piece of soil, and the plow blade was separated by the stone, and a muffled sound.
She quickly removed the plow blade from the plow, held the dirt-stained knife, and ran towards the cavalry.
The general in charge saw Ruiwen, raised his hand and made a gesture, causing the cavalry to snatch the horses together, so the neighing sounds of the horses echoed throughout the field.
Riven stopped in front of him, panting and secretly glad that she finally did not let the horse hoof destroy the cultivated land behind her. Dad Kong De lived on the crops planted in this land.
"Rise your head." A sound full of energy came from the top of your head, pure Noxus official language.
Riven could understand because she was originally a Noxusian, and she also heard an inexplicable familiarity from this voice, which aroused obedience deep in her soul.
This is the sound of command, and Riven used to be a soldier, so she did it like a conditioned reflex.
Her eyes moved up from the horse's hooves, passed through her strong body and Shenjun's head, and finally met the officer on the horse's back.
