Looking at the relieved Emistan, Faen didn't care much either, just leaning back in his chair and saying casually: "Alright, let's have a good talk next."
Hearing Faen's words, Emistan also took a deep breath, then said coldly: "A good talk? Your attitude just now didn't seem like wanting a good talk."
"Let your master come out." Shaking his head, Faen was even too lazy to give Emistan a second glance: "Of course, if she doesn't want to come out, it's no problem either. Anyway, between that guy and Mordekaiser..."
"...Who are you."
Before Faen could finish, the aura around Emistan on the side suddenly changed.
Standing right behind Emistan, Riven had already alertly placed her hand on the black stone giant sword behind her. Looking at Emistan's back, although she didn't speak, the expression on her face was clearly written with vigilance.
As a warrior, Riven might not be sensitive to aura, but with Emistan as the legion commander and Riven as the legion's sword-captain, the two were together from morning to night. Riven knew very well that Emistan's aura was definitely not this strange, mysterious, and unknown like before her eyes.
If it were in the past, LeBlanc—or rather LeBlanc's main body could definitely debut with a more peaceful posture. But it was different now. After hearing things related to Mordekaiser, even LeBlanc couldn't help but lose her cool slightly for an instant.
And Faen didn't seem surprised by LeBlanc's momentary daze.
The relationship between LeBlanc and Mordekaiser was relatively complex.
Because regarding Mordekaiser, one had to start from Death Gods—there are many Death Gods in Runeterra. These Death Gods get masks from the Mother of Masks. After people in their respective regions die, most of them will go to the spirit realm first, and then be led by these masked Death Gods to reincarnate. And some people with powerful souls and strong wills who are unwilling to die like this can forcibly stay in the material realm. At this time, Death Gods need to take the initiative to attack and take away their souls.
But if in this process, the individual's soul successfully reverses the situation, or even repels the Death God's attack, they have the opportunity to return to the material realm of the living.
And there are many Death Gods in the Valoran continent. The most well-known one is Kindred, whom every League of Legends player won't feel unfamiliar with—whether the enemy Kindred who passively stacks three marks and takes a head per person, or our Kindred whose ultimate locks the enemy carry's health leading to a team wipe in a sure-win team fight, will produce a profound impact on the other nine people in a game.
And in Runeterra... just like that.
Because there are many Death Gods, even saying Death Gods in Runeterra won't forcibly require you to die. Instead, after discovering you still have a breath left, except for Death Gods with bad personalities like Wolf, most like Kindred will be lenient, letting you return to the material realm to fulfill your destiny. If you die then, she will come to pick you up again.
Under these circumstances, in the previous era, that is, the Warlords' chaotic war era before the Rune Wars, also known as the Dark Warlord Era, the most famous warlord was Sahn-Uzal ravaging the northern lands of Valoran. He himself believed in the Hall of Bones. This was a very extreme faith; the main faith concept was that the more people you killed when alive, the higher your status after death. Also precisely because of this, when Sahn-Uzal's lifespan came to an end, he didn't fear death, but felt joy.
Because he was very sure his massacres and atrocities in life were definitely enough for him to obtain the qualification to sit forever with gods in the Hall of Bones.
Unfortunately, the construction of the spirit realm isn't just about one person killing enough people. So the dead Sahn-Uzal appeared in a wasteland realm in the spirit realm.
This was the first underworld Sahn-Uzal experienced—an empty barren hill. And this also made Sahn-Uzal furious. Because his whole life was deceived by a false lie. Amidst anger, unknown how much time passed, the weak souls around him dissipated one by one, reincarnated one by one. But Sahn-Uzal refused to dissipate.
The will tempered by rage and brutality allowed him to keep his consciousness. After a long time, the originally indistinct whispers gradually condensed into vocabulary he could almost understand—he finally understood, this was Ochnun, a sinful language belonging to no living thing. And perceiving the knowledge within, Sahn-Uzal also began to generate new ideas.
Thus, also in the Darkin Warlord Era, Sahn-Uzal appeared again. Only this time he descended to the material realm in the form of a spirit realm life, bewitching some audacious mages to inscribe his soul on a set of black steel armor. Those mages wanted to gain power and strength by controlling Sahn-Uzal, unfortunately they were used by Sahn-Uzal from the very beginning.
At first, the wizards wanted to resist, trying to seal him by chanting Sahn-Uzal's true name.
But unfortunately, the Sahn-Uzal at that time had already used 'Mordekaiser' in Ochnun as his new true name. And the so-called Sahn-Uzal, whether in the spirit realm or material realm, had completely disappeared.
Mordekaiser slaughtered all the mages who summoned him at the first moment of completing his descent, and forged their corpses and souls into his weapon, Nightfall.
And coming to the material realm this time, Mordekaiser also had brand new ideas. So he established the initial Noxus. While recruiting talents widely, he constantly spread faiths related to slaughter, massacre, and violence. And strengthened people's collective will projection in the spirit realm through brutal massacres. It was just that this atrocity also caused dissatisfaction among many people. So under Mordekaiser's specific arrangement, the Pale Lady betrayed Mordekaiser, killing Mordekaiser for the second time.
And this time, Mordekaiser entered, or rather returned to the place he personally built—the underworld, Mitna Rachnun.
Although it was still that former underworld, unlike the previous wasteland, the current place had been built by him into a fortress of souls.
And in this process, that person who betrayed him in Mordekaiser's plan and "killed" him was none other than the Pale Witch, LeBlanc. And not long after this, LeBlanc also gradually discovered that her so-called betrayal was actually within Mordekaiser's plan long ago.
And now... feeling the solemnity flowing in Emistan's eyes, Faen just said casually: "Died twice, reborn three times... calculating the time, it shouldn't be far from the third rebirth now, right?"
