Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

Above the blue sky, an airship is heading towards the immortal fortress.

The airship is engraved not only with the national emblem of New Noxus, but also with Ryan's family crest.

In the airship, a total of eight people were seated, but they were divided into three small groups.

A young man and two women sat in the area with the widest view of the airship. The yellow-haired boy looked at the immortal fortress outside the window, exclaiming from time to time.

"Ezreal, your eyes are about to fall out."

Seraphine, who has the status of Ryan's apprentice and is also the nominal owner of this ship, laughed.

A few days ago, she successfully held several concerts in the Twin Cities, and the stage was filled with Noxus flags.

Due to the recent addition of a large lake to the northern plains of Piltover, many people came to listen to the songs, and they were all willing.

At first, everyone couldn't sink their hearts, but as she started singing, everyone gradually sank into it and couldn't extricate themselves.

After the performance, she had a new idea of ​​singing through the soul changes of the audience. Maybe try it in a new place.

"Oh, this is an immortal fortress! The capital of Noxus. A thousand-year-old fortress, do you know how much there is worth exploring here?"

Ezreal's face was full of joy and excitement.

If it weren't for the fact that the Immortal Fortress only welcomed Noxians, he would have come to explore here long ago when he sailed back to Pi City from Shurima.

The underground where countless secrets are hidden, the ancient castle that has been passed down for thousands of years, the top-secret laboratory of countless mages...

Ezreal thought one by one in his heart, he had not listened to the legendary stories from the crew members.

Well, while the savagery of some of the Noxian army made him uncomfortable, he wasn't worried about not being able to hang out in Noxus in the future. According to his personal experience, most Noxians are mindless scoundrels who become their own with a glass of wine.

"Mr. Ryan's meaning is for you to set up a new Explorers Guild near the Zhanzheng College, and the Empire will help you," Orianna reminded.

Before she got on the airship, she had already received Ryan's arrangement for her.

The Mechanics Tutor of the Zhanzheng Academy and the external butler of Meredith Castle.

She likes this identity very much. While being able to show her strengths, she will also have the opportunity to follow Ryan to every corner of the world in the future.

"That's exactly what I want to do. Hahaha, Ezreal's reputation is about to spread from Noxus." Ezreal was complacent.

As long as he heard about the Explorers' Guild, he felt extremely happy.

As for the Piltover one? Oh, an informal organization that doesn't even have a station, so it's too embarrassing to call it the Explorers Guild?

Listening to the narcissistic singing in the other's soul, Seraphine couldn't help but pouted and turned her head to the other side.

Her line of sight was just enough to see that two well-dressed men and women came over.

"Hello! Senator Myrdalda, Senator Tallis." Seraphine greeted.

Ryan taught her that strength is only the first step to greatness. She has to learn a lot, including etiquette, knowledge, behavior, character...

"Miss Seraphine, good afternoon. It is a pleasure to be invited into Lord Meredith's airship."

Mel bowed slightly, with a bright smile on his face, and raised the wine glass in his hand.

Drank it down in front of Seraphine and Orianna.

Jace on the side looked a little gloomy, but he forced a smile and drank all the wine in his hand.

"What trouble does Senator Tallis seem to have?" Seraphine asked with interest.

"He just met his former partner, and it seems that he can't imagine the other party's choice." Mel helplessly spread his hands.

While speaking, she glanced at Orianna, and then turned to the three people on the other side.

Victor, who was wrapped in a mechanical body, Jinx, who was silent, and Ike, who was calm and steady.

Their purpose in the industry is different, and Viktor is ready to entrust Zaun's future to Ike and Sevika, this time just to bring him to the market.

Viktor himself took Jinx to the War College. After graduation, they would return to Zaun, where a branch of the academy would be established.

Orianna and Seraphine are going to reside in Noxus and become a Noxian.

Mel and Jace's purpose is even simpler, to return to the family to visit relatives in the name of Myrdalda, and by the way, let Jace grow up.

A few people chatted casually, and were interrupted by Ezreal's exclamation.

"Wait, what is that? Giant God Peak! How can there be such a miracle!"

Following his voice, everyone looked out, their eyes widened unconsciously.

Between the white clouds, a pitch-black castle hangs in the air, and the top of the tower exudes blue and black light, shrouding the castle inside, full of mystery.

"The outer walls of the castle are engraved with runes, but to lift a castle of this size into the air, the amount of mana required is astronomical." Jace couldn't help but analyze with a professional eye.

Saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Mercury's Hammer not far away.

In comparison, the daily consumption of the floating castle is enough for him to release tens of thousands of energy cannons.

Even at the first glimpse of Noxus, he was deeply shocked.

The national strength of Noxus is completely two levels with that of Piltover.

One day, one place.

The moment I saw the castle

, he even lost his mind to compete with Zaun.

In the face of true greatness, they were like children fighting with mud.

"See the gap? Senator Talis, the gap between us and Noxus is bigger than you think."

Camille walked out of the airship's inner room step by step, walked to a place with a wide view, and stared at the castle that was getting closer and closer.

"Ms Camille, Piltover will do the same one day," Jace said firmly.

"I'll be looking forward to your good news here. In front of me is the private castle of President Ryan. It was originally on the island of Philo and moved here by magic."

Hearing Camille's words, everyone was even more shocked.

The Ionian island of Philo is farther away than Piltover.

"We have arrived!"

Camille didn't care about other expressions, stared at the majestic building that appeared below, and said.

This wasn't her first time here, and she was one of the few non-Noxians who had been to the Immortal Citadel. Because of her strength, and because she had worked hard for the empire before.

But the people who have been here have either died or become Noxians.

She thought she could make an exception, but she finally came here and became a member of parliament here.

Her eyes swept over to Jace, Ike, and Jinx, as if expecting and confirming something.

Waiting for the airship to approach, the magnificent immortal fortress came into view.

If Piltover is a bustling city, it is more like a majestic and impossible to fall fortress.

The huge Noxus black gate stands in the center, and the buildings with gray as the main theme are densely covered with Noxus flags, which are flying with the wind.

Outside the fort, there are many architectural styles. Freljord tents, Shurima sand houses, and even the beautiful low-rises of Piltover...
