After sorting out his thoughts on the bed, Luo Wen then began to look at his current status bar.

After reading it twice, Luo Wen closed the status bar.
Lissandra's words kept echoing in his mind. Facing Volibear, it was impossible to say that he was not afraid. Therefore, Rowan had to improve his strength as soon as possible and prepare for Volibear to come to him in the future.
It was not Rowan's style to always put hope on others.
Although he was gentle, and because of the system and the fact that he often played LOL in his previous life, Rowan was full of goodwill when making friends with heroes in Runeland, but this did not mean that Rowan was a guy who went with the flow and had no opinion.
Leave your safety and fate to others?
Don't make fun of him, he is now a man who is about to conquer the Valoran continent!
Rowan got up from the bed and walked out of the room.
The principal's office was empty, even Yuumi was not there.
Although the flow rate in Lissandra's dream world was slower than that in the outside world, it took Rowan almost a year or two to comprehend the power of several rules in the dream world, and more than two months had passed in the outside world.
Because Rowan had told Lux that he was going to retreat, Lux and the others were not anxious because Rowan had disappeared for two months.
Everything in the War College was running well. After all, Rowan was originally a combat force and mascot in the college, so he did not appear in the college during this period, and there was no change in the school.
Because the daily chores of the college, student affairs, material expenses, etc., were all handled by the deans of each college and the school affairs office.
Demacia was not short of talents at all, and there were many talents in management and money management. Most of the people in the school affairs office in the college were Piltover councilors and talents thrown in by His Majesty Jarvan III, and they were all very useful.
Standing in front of the window sill, Rowan used the Desolate Universe, and then he flew straight to the throne mountain of the Xiongdu.
He was going to leave Demacia for a while, and it might be a long time, so Rowan had to tell Jarvan III first.
Rowan flew to the throne mountain, naturally attracting countless people's attention along the way, and also caused many people to exclaim, but when Rowan deliberately lowered his altitude and revealed his iconic black hair, the people of Demacia in the town, the city, and the capital immediately greeted the sky.
Most of the guys who can fly in the sky are demons and flying beasts.
But if the one who can fly in the sky is a black-haired young man, then the answer becomes very obvious.
Who in the whole Demacia doesn't know the black-haired Rowan?
With convenient transportation and the gradual popularization of Hextech transmitters, even the most remote towns in Demacia can know what happened in the capital on the same day, because the local newsagents will have Hextech transmitters, and there are people who are responsible for collecting news in the capital and sending it back on the Hextech transmitters.
These people's jobs are called reporters, editors, and editors-in-chief.
Therefore, now in Demacia, children of a few years old know about Rowan.
When Rowan landed, several knights guarding the throne mountain came up to greet him excitedly.
"Sir Rowan, are you here to see His Majesty?" A knight who was obviously the captain asked.
"Yes, is His Majesty in the palace?" Rowan nodded and looked towards the palace.
The knight immediately said, "His Majesty is taking a lunch break. Please wait a moment. I will go to the steward to apply."
As he said that, the knight turned around and trotted. Rowan was not in a hurry. He found a place to sit down and chatted with several other guard knights.
About ten minutes later, Mette appeared. When he saw Rowan, he immediately waved and said, "You kid finally came out?"
Rowan went up to him and smiled at Mette, "I've been practicing during this time."
"How is your practice?" Mette asked with a smile. He put his arm around Rowan's shoulders and walked into the palace with Rowan. Their intimate behavior did not attract too much attention.
"Very effective. Didn't you come to His Majesty to report the good news right after you finished your training?"
"Congratulations, but Rowan, a lot of things happened in Shurima and Noxus during your training. There are a few things I want to talk to you about. His Majesty is waiting for you." Mette said.
When he saw Jarvan III, the old emperor was drinking tea with a teapot. His face was ruddy. He looked like he could live for decades.
The old emperor was a loyal man. After Princess Catherine died, the old emperor did not remarry. At the same time, as a king, he only had one wife. He was not lustful or indulged in lust. The only thing that consumed his mind was Demacia.
He worked diligently for Demacia and his hair turned white and his body was injured.
But now it is different, because the old emperor does not need to worry about many things in Demacia.
Now, Demacia is strong, the economy is prosperous, and the people live a healthy and happy life. The old emperor is naturally free from worries.
After all, even the most troublesome forbidden magic that may cause national unrest has been reformed, so what else is there to worry about?
In addition, the prince has begun to take charge of some government affairs, and the alchemy of Piltover and Zaun has also helped Jarvan III improve his health.
Zauan's medicine is extremely advanced. After all, it is a city-state that can replace organs at will before Hextech technology.
Replace what is wrong, do you think this is a boast?
As a result, the emperor lives a long life, the prince does not need to worry about his throne, and the future of Demacia is really bright.
"Are you here? Come and sit." Seeing Rowan, Jarvan III shook his head and made himself more energetic.
He had just woken up. After waking up, the elderly will have a bit of confusion in their minds, but drinking some tea and being dazed will make it better.
"Your Majesty, Mette said a lot of things have happened recently?" Rowan naturally sat opposite Jarvan III, picked up the electric kettle on the seat, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Jarvan III drank tea and said, "Some big things have happened."
"Do you know Azir?"
"Azir?" Rowan, who picked up the teacup, was stunned and looked at Jarvan III in confusion, "Wait, he appeared?"
"Well, just a month ago, a huge disc suddenly rose in the central area of Shurima, and a city that emerged from the ground shocked the entire Shurima. That city is larger than Xiongdu and has countless yellow sand soldiers. According to the news from the people I sent to Shurima, he was the last king of the Shurima Empire a thousand years ago?"
Jarvan III looked at Rowan with a hint of doubt on his face.
Can someone really live for a thousand years?
Moreover, according to rumors, the guy's situation seems to be more exaggerated than living for a thousand years. Many old people in Shurima said that he was resurrected from the dead and appeared to save Shurima.
Jarvan III also asked Rowan this question.
Rowan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, there are always some strange guys in this world. Azir is no longer a human. He is now a god."
There are many guys in Runeland who live for a thousand years. This is not surprising. After all, Rowan was slapped by a woman who lived for nearly ten thousand years not long ago.
So a thousand years is not a big deal.
As for Leblanc, didn't she also live for a thousand years?
"Since you said so, I will take this as true." Jarvan III put down the teapot and said.
He looked at Rowan and continued, "What do you think we should do?"
"What do you mean?" Rowan tilted his head and asked Jarvan III.
"We have invested a lot in Shurima, and now he wants to take it away as soon as he opens his mouth. Do you think this is reasonable? I want to hear your opinion, Rowan. Do you think we should listen to him and leave Shurima, so that Shurima belongs only to the Shurimans, or should we fight for some benefits?"
"Well, there should be no conflict between us and him at the moment?" Rowan said after thinking for a while.
It is inevitable that Azir wants to conquer Shurima.
After all, this is Azir's mission, and Riot Universe has also given a lot of information about this.
But Rowan believes that in the short term, Azir has no time to care about outsiders, because he has a bad reputation. The collapse of the Shurima Empire has caused the Shurimans to suffer, and the person who caused all this is Azir.
He trusted Xerath, was backstabbed by Xerath, and destroyed Shurima. The people also gave Azir the title of "tyrant". Therefore, in the short term, what Azir needs to do is to conquer the hearts of the people of Shurima and let the people of Shurima trust him again.
This will take a long time, not to mention that Xerath will stop it.
Oh, will Xerath watch Azir build up his power bit by bit?
Azir and Xerath, this pair of mortal enemies, are different from Jayce and Viktor. In the background, Jayce and Viktor, the good brothers, parted ways because of different ideas, but even so, the two did not kill each other.
And what about Xerath and Azir?
Their hatred cannot be resolved. If their hatred is resolved, then what about the hatred of the Shurimans who have suffered for thousands of years and those who died in that ceremony?
Therefore, Rowan told all these things to Jarvan III.
After listening, the old emperor felt relieved and said, "Then let's talk about another thing, about Noxus."
The old emperor began to tell Rowan.
It was related to Swain. He recently sent several letters and told several things.
First, Rowan failed to capture Rell, who had been asked for by him. She escaped from Leblanc's experimental base and entered the plains. The elite soldiers of Noxus could not stop her because the iron warhorse she was riding did not need to rest at all. However, Swain added that he would send Rell to the War College as soon as possible.
Second, Swain hoped that scholars from Noxus could enter the War College to study, instead of only those students who were old enough to enter the college. For this reason, Swain said that Noxus was willing to share rune technology and warship construction technology.
The third thing is that Swain told Jarvan III about the recent actions of Noxus. Yes, Noxus has taken action again, but Swain made it clear in the letter that this time, Noxus did not intend to provoke the war in Valoran again, but to send soldiers to Ionia to extradite the Noxians left in Ionia back to their country.
At present, there are still many Noxians in Ionia. Because of the defeat, they were afraid that they would return to Noxus and be punished when the army left Ionia, so they stayed in Ionia.
However, in the land of Ionia, they were not welcomed by the locals because of their identity as invaders. The Noxian soldiers who were left behind could only gather together and establish an autonomous region in Ionia.
This is Ionia, where the locals are gentle. If it were in other places, would those Noxians be able to survive?
Not to mention integrating and establishing their own living area.
But people are multifaceted. There are gentle people and there are bloody people.
There is a group of such people in Navoli. They hate Noxus and wish to drive all Noxians out of Ionia, even if those Noxians have redeemed their sins in Ionia and have families.
Therefore, as the rebels in Navoli march south, Swain does not want those soldiers to die at the hands of the rebels.
Jarvan III replied that Swain was shameless. Their lives are lives, but the lives of the Ionians they slaughtered are not lives?
But Swain sincerely admitted his shameless behavior. He admitted that it was very unfair to Ionia.
But Swain also wrote that those soldiers were also victims. The real guilty people were me and my country.
Having said that, Jarvan III naturally did not reply.
He and the other party have completely different ideas, but Jarvan III is also a person who protects his shortcomings. If there are captives outside Demacia, Jarvan III will try his best to get them back. As for whether they have made mistakes, that is a matter to be implemented after they come back.
Therefore, Jarvan III actually admires Swain.
But unfortunately, Swain does not have Rowan.
And he has Rowan, a little monster.
Most of the development of Demacia in recent years has been driven by Rowan. Rowan makes Jarvan III very proud.
"Do you think he really won't cause a new war?" Jarvan III asked Rowan's thoughts.
"No, he has a clear mind and is a very smart person. Noxus now can't be compared with Demacia at all." Rowan said.
Jarvan III smiled and said, "Do you know him well?"
"Some, anyway, he won't do anything that harms the interests of Noxus. Now the whole Valoran is headed by Demacia. There are more than a dozen small countries that have joined us, and even the pirate city-state of Bilgewater has joined us. Swain is not Darkwill. He will not ignore the safety of the country and the people for the sake of face."
"So it doesn't matter if you agree to him, Your Majesty."
"Okay, I understand." Jarvan III nodded.
Then, he looked at Rowan and said, "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Rowan looked at Jarvan III and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I'm going out for a while."
"Going out? Where to?" Jarvan III paused, then asked seriously.
"Ionia."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I have to go there."
"Then go ahead, go early and come back early." Jarvan III said with his eyes downcast.
After hearing this, Rowan coughed and said, "Don't you want to ask me what I'm doing in Ionia?"
"Why should I ask this?" Jarvan III looked up at Rowan and said with a strange look in his eyes, "You are already a special existence to Demacia, and the same is true for the royal family. Whatever you want to do, just do it, and the whole of Demacia will help you."
"Anyway, you won't hurt Demacia, so I will support you unconditionally."
The old emperor picked up the teapot, his gray beard and hair looked kind and gentle, and he smiled and said, "Just don't forget to come back."
"."
Rowan nodded.
When he left the throne mountain, Rowan was laughing.
Jarvan III seemed to have never worried about the kingship.
Even though Rowan's fame is now at its peak and several city-states are headed by him, the old emperor has never worried about Rowan.
This is completely different from what is played in novels and TV shows!
Who said that emperors are always worried about being overshadowed by their masters?
