late at night,

The cold wind blowing from the north lingers in the sky with the last reluctance of winter, making the town look particularly peaceful at night.

In the streets and alleys, people after a busy day said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to fall asleep. Only the sparks of light swayed quietly in the night.

In the eyes of villagers in many towns today, a lot of things really happened.

To watch the trial of a woman from Noxus before the Magistrates' Court,

But he didn't expect to touch the big sword that could be called a "magic weapon" and almost died.

The diffuse blood-colored light and the screaming murderous soul were scenes they had never seen in their lives. The feeling of dying was also deeply imprinted in many people's hearts like a nightmare and would not dissipate for a long time.

But the most impressive thing, even the meaning is difficult to understand,

It’s still that figure rushing towards the big sword, that dazzling white hair, that tearful face, those determined eyes,

That scene, until the gray light rushed to the ceiling, until the bloody light dissipated, and until many people left the courtroom and returned home, they still cannot forget it.

Many people who were originally angry also had subtle changes in their attitude towards the Noxian woman in the transition between surprise and joy.

perhaps...

Noxus is not all bloodthirsty demons...?

At least that woman saved everyone's lives.

Such a change, as the moon climbs into the sky, as the silver brilliance shines into the window screen, it shines into the dreams of countless people.

On such a night, a soft voice sounded low and disappeared in the wind in an instant——

"Finally...here again."

The silvery moonlight shone down, reflecting on a big tree outside the town entrance, and fell on a dark shadow among the branches.

"Hopefully it's the last time."

Accompanied by a whisper that was almost like a whisper, Julian looked at the village with a complicated expression.

Just a few months ago, he came here for a mission. He didn't startle anyone, didn't take away a fallen leaf, but he took away a few lives.

——He thought he would never come here again,

But a few months later, he came here again, in order to make up for his mistakes and increase his own glory and value.

Looking far into the distance, the scenery of the village and town came into his eyes. The gray mist rose and slowly covered the pupils of his eyes. Julian's brows were slightly frowned, slightly distracted.

For him, although this mission was to make up for his previous mistakes, it was not too difficult.

He had personally fought against the "remnant" of Yu Feng. Under the circumstances, if the sudden riot of magic energy hadn't distracted him, I'm afraid that person would have been killed by him immediately.

After all - although the age difference between the two is not big, they are far apart in terms of strength.

Regarding this, Julian is extremely sure and confident————

This is his confidence as a strong man who has broken through the realm of divine consciousness.

But what's keeping him from taking action now is another thing.

"So...that feeling, is it my illusion?"

His eyes were bright, like two burning candles in the dark night, looking around the silent villages and towns,

Recalling the feeling that suddenly passed through his heart during the day, that feeling was very familiar to him.

It was so familiar that just thinking about it made the sky in his heart feel like it was about to rain.

Once you realize that he is just thinking lightly, you will have an uncontrollable impulse.

It was that feeling that allowed him to shorten the journey that originally took two days by half and arrive at the village before nightfall.

But until late at night, when the moon is in the sky,

Julian still stood quietly on the branches of the tree, not moving at all.

"Who is it?" Julian held on to the tree trunk, his eyes trance-like, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with a tearing force.

Just because that feeling reminded him of that day again,

That...gloomy day.

that day,

Noxus was defeated and retreated under Presidenium City. He lost an opportunity to build meritorious glory and experienced the feeling of failure;

It was that day,

He lost a dear sister, a girl he had been chasing and admiring for twenty years.

—— Completely lost, cut off contact, and lost the last message.

He had recalled that day countless times, but always lingered on the edge of the memory for a long time before choosing to retreat.

In fact, Julian had been searching for a long time in the barren mountains where the metal fragments with his unique magic message were left behind.

However, the fragments shattered and fell into the soil, and the broken sword quietly disappeared.

Just like Riven,

Autumn passed and winter came, winter passed and spring came, and it never appeared again.

It was as if she had completely disappeared, disappeared into Noxus, and disappeared into his world.

But now...

"Who? Put them together?" With his spiritual mind open, Yuri quietly sensed the village and town, touching the lingering familiar feeling.

He felt that there was a remnant of magic power here,

That metal fragment was activated by someone,

Together with the rune sword, someone combined them together.

"Who is it!?" He asked again, nameless anger igniting from the bottom of his heart, burning Julian's mind and heart.

If Riven really passed away, she would be buried in the mountains and woods along with the overwhelming mudslide and the erupting alchemical poisonous mist.

Then that rune sword might be the only thing she left behind.

It's his only memory.

But he tried his best to search but couldn't find it, and now it fell into the hands of an unknown person. Together with the piece of metal he left in the backyard of Yufeng Gymnasium,

This is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the deceased,

How could he endure this?

In fact, during the time Julian paused in the treetops,

The world around me seemed to quiet down for a moment,

The night is no longer cold, the wind is no longer blowing,

You can't hear the buzzing of insects or the barking of dogs, and you can't see the silvery clouds waving.

The sky and the earth were reflected in his pupils, and with the looming rune marks deep in his eyes, Julian had used the power of the world's runes to completely seal off this village, this space,

"If we can't find the person who blasphemed Riven, then everyone here will be buried together!"

For the first time, a cold thought emerged in Julian's heart.

It was also the first time that he put aside his dreams, kindness, and justice.

All the emotions accumulated since Riven passed away, whether it was sadness and anger, or confusion and lack of confidence in the future and dreams, were all transformed into overwhelming anger.

The accumulated anger was like dark clouds appearing out of thin air in the night sky, slowly covering up the moonlight and blocking out the light.

At this time, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to find the person who pieced together the rune sword.
