It took a while, but Jax and Baliard finally arrived in the Freljord.

In the communication, Ezreal said that he was also taking his fiancée on the way to Freljord. However, with Ezreal's current strength, it was difficult to tell who was taking whom.

If Lux suddenly wants to do something on the road, Ezreal can't stop Lux, for example - shopping.

There is no need to blame Lacus for not being able to prioritize things. This is probably Lacus's deliberate behavior.

Because Lux didn't believe Baliard from the beginning, and even thought that Baliard had brainwashed Ezreal.

Now Ezreal tells Lux that Baliard asked them to go to the Freljord. Is Lux going because she has a brain problem?

But Ezreal's attitude was resolute, so Lux could only use a curveball method to save the country - delaying time.

She didn't believe that Balliard's brainwashing of Ezreal was flawless. Balliard called Ezreal over so anxiously, maybe because Balliard wanted to further consolidate his influence on Ezreal.

Brainwashing effects.

She only needed to delay time so that Ezreal could not arrive at Baliard as scheduled. Perhaps, she could discover the loopholes in the brainwashing magic and crack it.

"The Freljord seems a little too quiet. This is not normal."

The last time Ballyard came to Freljord in this world line, according to the time of this world line, it should be almost ten years.

However, the condition of the land seemed to be the same as when he left.

What was it like when he left?

Wars, killings, and the undead summoned by Baliard raged across this land, killing all creatures that were easily eroded by the void.

"you mean?"

Jax couldn't even remember the last time he came to the Freljord. Was it thousands of years ago? Tens of thousands of years ago?

He no longer has any impression, and the only impression he has left is not enough to compare with the current Freljord. After all, after so many years, the mountains will turn into valleys, and the vast sea will turn into mulberry fields.

"Void has already been here, the probability is very high."

Balliard doesn't know what happened here, but Freljord is a continent with a very complete ecosystem. Even if Balliard once killed a certain ethnic group to extinction, as long as it was not eliminated by historical choices.

The tribe will reappear in Freljord.

But here, except for the wind and snow, there is currently no other living thing.

Well, that’s right, the snow and wind in the Freljord are alive. Anivia is the incarnation of the Freljord, the manifestation of the most essential ice and snow in the Freljord. She is the Freljord.

The wind and snow of virtue.

"How do you know?"

Jax demands answers. He's not one to believe whatever others say.

Even if he has great trust in a person, Jax will ask the other person to explain the reasons for making a decision or the reasons for reaching a conclusion.

"There are too few living things here. Although Freljord is not suitable for biological survival, this is not a dead place where all life is extinct. Only places where the void passes will be like now, without life and no living creatures can be seen. Their plan

Maybe more than we think

elephant."

Balliard wanted to contact Anivia. Anivia shouldn't have been unaware of such a big thing caused by the void. But if Anivia found out about the problem, would she do nothing?

?

I'm afraid those living things on the Freljord are not willing to die, right? In this case, Anivia has no reason to watch those creatures being swallowed by the void and do nothing.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but there is no life in such a vast area, and there are definitely traces of void behind it. If they didn't take action on their own, they must have reached an agreement with some big force."

"No life exists, well..."

Jax thought of Icathia after the war. It was a desperate place in the world where even the land was dead in the true sense. That was one of the disasters brought about by the void.

"Maybe Darius knows something, let's go there quickly."

The only person that Balliard can think of to obtain information now is Darius.

Anivia's inaction means that Anivia is not particularly clear about what is happening here.

Even if Balliard finds Anivia and wakes Anivia up, he probably won't get any news.

"I think so too."

Jax thought a little differently from Valliard, but he made the same decision as Valliard.

In his eyes, those old gods are not the ones guarding Runeterra. They will betray them, just like the Titan Stars in the past. Even if the Titan Stars did not betray Runeterra, but only betrayed the warriors who guarded Runeterra, that would still be wrong.

This means that the old gods are not worthy of trust.

Who knows when he and others repel the void again, will these old gods stab them in the back?

Jax doesn't believe in the old gods. Even the stupid new gods are more trustworthy than the old gods in Jax's eyes.

He knew very well that the old gods were the human incarnations of the Great Will, and that the Great Will didn't seem to mind the world being destroyed, but the New Gods would.

The old gods were not on the same side as Runeterra from the beginning, and the new gods naturally coexisted and died with Runeterra.

It's just that those stupid new gods have never believed in the existence of the void. It's because these new gods don't protect the world properly that the void can easily take advantage of it.

According to the information provided by Darius, it didn't take long for Valyard and Jax to travel to the new kingdom of Noxus.

"Boss, you've done a good job. I think the people here live a pretty good life."

Baliard walked up to Darius without encountering any obstruction, because most of the people here were mortals, and Baliard used some tricks, so these mortals turned a blind eye to him and Jax.

Because of this, he and Jax were able to take a look at the living conditions of the residents here.

If these people were to know that he and Jax were friends of their king, in order not to lose Darius' face in front of them, the living standards of these people would be much higher than their actual living standards.

few.

Balliard didn't care whether these people could eat and drink well, what he cared about was Darius' ability.

Darius is deciding whether to join Baliard's team, and Bali

Yard is also considering whether to let Darius join his team.

Whether Darius can resettle the people, or whether Darius can complete the tasks assigned by Balliard, is an important factor that affects Balliard's subsequent decisions.

The key to the question is not whether Darius did it or not, but whether he could do it well.

If Darius does not have the ability to establish a small kingdom and guide the peaceful development of the country, but does not refuse when Valliard entrusts him with this task, it means that Darius is not suitable for his team.

What is Balliard's character like? To put it nicely, he is stable and does not cause trouble. To put it badly, he is a stubborn person. As long as he has some background, Balliard is not willing to mess with anyone.

If Darius does not have the corresponding abilities, lacks self-awareness, and does not have a general understanding of what he can achieve, then this person is not suitable for Valliard's team.

Balliard did not want a blind and arrogant person to join his team, especially this person. He could not afford to offend him. Even if Darius did something bad, Balliard would not dare to deal with him.

Darius made irresponsible remarks.

"It's just the surface. Their food, weapons, and armor are all obtained by me from Salva's casting system. This kingdom is not yet capable of self-sufficiency, and its higher standard of living is just an illusion.

"

Darius rolled his eyes at Valliard. The place where they lived now was basically covered in snow. Because of the massive construction of the city, almost all the nearby animals had moved away.

There is no prey to hunt, farming to do, and no arable land. He has not established a country at all now, but has only established a military outpost relying on Salva's material supplies.

"Well, it's great to be able to do this. What are your next plans?"

Balliard could see that this country was not suitable for farming at present. First of all, there was no land suitable for farming in close proximity. Secondly, there was a lack of talent for farming. Without the ability to move toward farming civilization, the pace of building large cities was

too fast.

"Build several mobile portals, and then take the people of this kingdom to capture livestock throughout the Freljord, graze them during the day, and return to the city to rest at night. This can not only ensure a certain amount of food, but also provide protection in the event of a disaster.

, there is a base that can withstand disasters.”

It stands to reason that Darius has no need to build a city. What he wants to build is a herding kingdom, or just a large tribe. He spends a lot of manpower and material resources to build a city. How long can he live there throughout the year?

However, those people regarded him as king, and Darius understood what kind of crisis would happen next. In order to protect these people of Noxus, in order to allow them to reproduce safely, let Noxus

To become great again, he must build a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"...You are really kind-hearted. Is it because this country is called Noxus?"

Only then did Balliard understand Darius's intention. As expected, the extraordinary beings who could be chosen as guardians by Salva had more or less shining points in them. In some respects, they were butchers.

, but in other respects, they are real heroes.
