Chapter 829 [0817] Irelia's Determination

Poaching may not sound good, but the real effect is still very good.

If Irelia can really poach Sona, she will undoubtedly understand more clearly why Demacia has come this far, which is of great significance for her to return to Ionia and rebuild the First Land in the future.

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

In the current New Demacia, from the perspective of Irelia as an outsider, 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 Ino held an important position in the Guardians, but Sona seemed to have lost power and did not enter the power center of New Demacia.

Although the identities of the Minister of Culture and Art and the Chairman of the Art Support Association are also prominent, the cultural field has never been a powerful department. Now Irelia has some understanding of the political structure of New Demacia. She knows very well that clerks and guards are the most important parts of the new Demacia. Compared with them, the cultural and artistic fields can only be regarded as side doors.

Irelia's understanding of the situation in New Demacia is correct.

Clerks, Guardians, and the reorganized Demacia Armies are the three legs that support this country.

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

Moreover, the field of culture and art in Demacia is now full of old nobles in the past - although Lux has implemented compulsory education in the North for more than ten years, even now, most of the real writers and artists in Demacia are of noble origin.

Art education is a very luxurious thing, and it has always been ranked at the back in Lux's plan. Before people are full and satisfied, it has never been the main focus.

It is precisely for this reason that the old nobles still have a certain influence in the field of culture and art. Although it cannot be compared with the past, at least artists can be regarded as the most impressive identity of the old nobles now.

In this case, Sona serves as the Minister of Culture and Art, which gives people a feeling of "not being reused" no matter how you look at it.

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

Although a large part of the reason was that Barret Bouvier, as a diehard fan of Jarvan IV, opposed Laxana's accession to the throne, such a treatment method would inevitably cause Sona's dissatisfaction.

In fact, even in the eyes of Irelia now, such a treatment method is really too harsh. Even Irelia, who is quite dissatisfied with the elders and monks of Ionia and has a natural dislike for conservatives, thinks that Sona is a victim.

Unfortunately, what Irelia did not realize is that this sacrifice is worth it.

It is precisely because the Bouvier family was treated in this way and the Crown Guard family returned to the Secret Silver City and suffered a split that other nobles really couldn't say anything when facing the treatment of New Demacia.

What to do!

The three giants in the North were more ruthless than each other to their own families. After Laxana ascended the throne, she dismantled the Crown Guard family, and Sona presided over the property review of the Buwell family. Ino's brother has not even become a captain until now. This made the three giants act with full confidence and without scruples when cleaning up internal affairs.

Even if Irelia was willing to learn humbly, she could not understand this for a while.

Objectively speaking, Irelia did have the capital to do so, because although she was born in the Zan family, the largest clan in Shangzan, she is now almost alone - almost all the men in the Zan family died in the Ionian War, and the once largest family in Shangzan is now only a lonely grave.

It is precisely because of the pain of losing her loved ones that Irelia sincerely believes that there is nothing wrong with being close to her loved ones. So when the elders came up with the reason of "not letting more Ionians die in the war and not letting more Ionian children lose their parents", even though Irelia and the Noxians were truly irreconcilable, she still accepted the ceasefire and did not continue to organize the counterattack in Waili.

There are always some things that you only know their preciousness after you lose them.

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

No one can imagine how desperate a lady from a famous family would be when she went to Presidium to learn silk dance and returned after completing her studies, seeing that the huge Zan family manor had become a Noxian resident, and her familiar father and brother had been placed in the tomb in the garden because of their "heroic resistance".

No one could know what kind of courage a woman who had never learned combat skills before had that made her choose to assassinate the Noxians when they were about to take the Zan family emblem as a trophy, and use the Blade of the Broken Principle after the Zan family emblem was smashed to pieces to escape from an ambush.

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 Shuo 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 side.

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 a desire, and you seem a little unwilling. You are suppressing yourself, Miss Irelia. If you don't mind, maybe you can talk to me."

"..."

Irelia remained silent, 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 most tight-lipped person in Demacia."

To say that a mute is the most tight-lipped person is undoubtedly a bit of black humor - but considering that Sona is talking about herself, there is a bit of open-mindedness behind this black humor.

After hearing this, Irelia's subconsciously frowned slightly.

Feeling the other party's hesitation, Sona once again expressed her thoughts through Hua.

"I heard that Miss Irelia is very good at silk dancing. When I was a child, I thought that maybe one day I could become a pianist at the Zhiyun Harvest Festival."

"Unfortunately, I left Ionia before I had time to learn the Harvest Suite. Even though I later got the score of the Harvest Suite from some Ionian merchants, it still lacked some flavor when I played it myself."

Irelia remained silent.

The music and dance of the Harvest Festival are part of the ceremony. They are not just dance postures and sounds, but a kind of linkage with the spirit world. Without the ability to communicate with all spirits, even if the music is exactly the same, it will not have that flavor.

Just like Irelia now, she knows every move and every beat of the Harvest Dance very well, but even without the Breaker of the Rules, her dance posture is always full of murderous aura, which makes people feel completely unable to feel the joy of the harvest.

"Come on, Miss Irelia, play a song with me." Although she had sensed the resistance in Irelia's eyes, Sona still stood up with a smile and took the initiative to invite her, "If you keep everything in your heart, you will get nothing except heaviness."

Irelia didn't want to dance.

But as if by some strange coincidence, when she realized this clearly, she had already come to Sona's private music room, and Sona had cleared a large space for her to dance, and she was waiting in the corner with her lips pursed and holding Hua.

In this case, Irelia simply stood in the middle of the music room and called for the Blade of the Breaker.

Let's dance!

The next moment, as the music of the Fertility Ceremony sounded, Irelia slowly leaned down in the resonance of the chords, like a wheat blown by the autumn wind, and began the Fertility Dance.

However, unlike the dancers at the Festival of Harvest, who looked like heavy ears of wheat, Irelia, who had a broken jar in her heart, simply straightened her back, just like she did on the battlefield of Precision.

Seeing this scene, Sona smiled a little, and she seemed to be touched. In the melody of the Harvest Suite, she added some sounds of the iron cavalry of the heroic hymn.

Good news, the War of the Two Cities 2 is coming out.

Bad news, Riot is going to eat the book again.

Wait, why did I say again?
