Although he was already in his twilight years and his health was not as good as before, Kongde's actions were still extremely firm.
"Child, hold the lock over to Daddy!"
The moonlight shone on Father Conde's face, making the wrinkles on his face more obvious.
While taking out various tools from the soft cloth bag, he muttered to Riven: "Kid, they all say you are a bad person, but your dad and mom don't think so!"
"Whether he is a bad person or not, can we, as parents, not see it?"
"Ding! Ding!"
Father Conde kept fiddling with Riven's chains with the hammer and nails in his hands, and at the same time he said nonchalantly: "I have enjoyed half of my life, so it's nothing for me to suffer a little for my children in my old age!"
"When dad opens the chain, run quickly. No matter where you go, as long as you can live a safe and happy life, that's fine."
"I came here secretly without telling your mother. I didn't want her to worry! As the only man in the family, your father must have some skills!"
"Daddy"
Looking at the old man in front of her who was bending down to unlock the door for her and listening to his nonchalant words, Riven felt as if the softest part of her heart was hit hard.
However, in the next moment, Riven suddenly grabbed Conde's hand.
"Dad, hide! Someone is coming!"
After hearing Riven's words, Kongde did not hesitate and quickly hid in the shadows nearby.
After a few breaths, a strong wind blew through the corridor and around the doorpost of the hall. Under the light of a beam of moonlight, a figure stood at the door of Riven's cell.
At this time, the figure no longer wore the cloak he wore during the day, but changed back into his previous dark blue shawl.
Yasuo looked at Riven who was kneeling in the cell in front of him. There was a strong smell of wind lingering on the Wind Blade.
"Oh!"
Without saying a word, Yasuo threw the broken sword that had been placed in the conference hall during the day in front of Riven. The extremely heavy sword hit the ground with a dull sound.
Not only that, even the missing piece of the broken sword was thrown in front of Riven by Yasuo.
"Which one is heavier, Riven!"
Yasuo asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it your sword or your past!"
Riven slowly raised her head and looked at the figure in front of her.
"who are you?"
"Another broken sword!"
Yasuo roared in a deep voice: "Raise your sword!"
Riven continued to sit on the ground, she didn't want to touch the giant sword in front of her.
"Stand up, you can't avoid it!"
As Yasuo's roar sounded, a violent wind raged throughout the cell.
The strong wind swept the missing piece of Riven's broken sword and slowly flew towards the gap.
Cyan rune light began to shine on the broken sword, and strands of cyan electric arcs connected the broken sword and the fragments, and the fragments fit perfectly with the gap.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, this rune giant sword enchanted by the Pale Witch once again regained its former peak form.
Riven looked at the broken sword in front of her, and the scene she didn't want to recall appeared again.
She shook her head, whispering, "In that valley, Noxus abandoned me and my companions. They took us as sacrifices of victory! Everyone died!"
"I really didn't expect that Elder Suma would die because of me"
A year ago, Riven and her team served as the vanguard of Noxus. Their duty was to escort a batch of alchemical weapons from Zaun.
Not long after, Riven and her team encountered Ionian troops in a valley not far from Yasuo's village and had a fierce conflict with them.
It was also at this time that Yasuo heard the voice here. He could not suppress his inner impulse and chose to go to the front to help the Ionian troops.
The Ionian troops have a lot of people, almost ten times the number of Riven's team.
In this situation, Riven chose to send a signal to ask for help from the large force not far behind.
However, soon after Riven sent out the signal for help, what they waited for was not the support from the rear troops, but a rain of flaming arrows!
The indiscriminate arrows killed some people, but some arrows also fell on the alchemical biological weapons escorted by Riven's team!
At that moment, a violent explosion occurred in the valley, and corrosive poisonous fog instantly filled the entire valley.
Everyone was dead, whether they were Ionians or members of Riven's team, all died in the alchemical fog.
And due to these poisonous fogs, everyone died in an extremely miserable manner, and they all experienced tremendous pain before their death.
At this point, how could Riven not know that she and her team were just victims of Noxus?
Even though she regarded Noxus as her home and even though she gave everything for Noxus, Noxus still chose to abandon her at this time.
After all, a team of a dozen people in exchange for the lives of hundreds of the other side, this deal is simply too good to be true.
In that alchemical poison fog, only Riven survived.
At this moment, she felt lost and felt that everything she once believed in had collapsed.
She hated everything about Noxus from the bottom of her heart, and she wanted to cut off all ties with Noxus!
At this time, Riven heard that not far from this valley, there was a sword school famous throughout Ionia.
Riven chose to go there and asked Elder Suma of the sword sect to destroy her greatsword.
The result was what was said later. When Elder Suma was using the Wind Sword Technique to destroy Riven's giant sword, he was accidentally hit by the giant sword fragments.
On the other side, when Yasuo followed the sound of the battle and rushed to the valley, the battle had already ended, leaving only corpses with extremely tragic deaths on the ground.
By the time Yasuo rushed back to the sword sect, Elder Suma was already dead.
And he became a murderer who was despised by everyone.
This is everything in the past, and it is also an experience that Riven never wants to think of.
"You're the one who made me go through all this!!"
Yasuo's voice was a little crazy. Everything he experienced was thanks to the person in front of him!
"I came here to take the life of the man who killed my master!"
As he spoke, Yasuo's Windblade was unsheathed, and violent wind gathered on the sword, blowing the thatch behind Riven away in an instant.
The next moment, the Wind Blade in Yasuo's hand slashed towards Riven who was holding the giant sword.
"boom!"
The rune magic and the wind swordsmanship collided with each other, and the chains on Riven's arms shattered in an instant.
However, facing Yasuo's attack, Riven never fought back, but just blocked with the giant sword in her hand.
"Riven, use your strength and raise your sword!"
Yasuo roared again, and at the same time a tornado began to gather around him.
The next moment, a strong wind swept everything around and rushed towards Riven in front of her, but in the face of such an attack, Riven still chose to block it with the giant sword in her hand.
But Riven seemed to have overlooked one point.
How could a broken sword that had not been used for a long time and the sword holder who had completely lost his fighting spirit withstand the full force of this Gale Sword Technique!
At the moment when the tornado collided with the giant sword, the Noxian magic on the giant sword began to tremble, and the broken sword body dispersed in an instant, and countless fragments splashed in all directions.
The fragment that had killed Elder Suma flew straight into the shadow where old man Kongde was hiding!
"No!"
Riven roared in despair, as if she could smell the spicy memories with the smell of incense again, the painful memories in Elder Suma's secret room!
However, Riven was too far away from Conde, and her feet were bound by chains, so she simply couldn't get in front of Conde in such a short time.
She could only watch in despair as the fragment that had killed Elder Suma once again went to Kongde's throat.
However, just as the fragment was about to touch Kongde's throat, a sharp sword whistle sounded.
"Hazard!"
(Thanks to Bohe Weiyu for the reward!)
(Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, muah!)
Chapter 56 Trial results!
In the cell late at night, the atmosphere that should have been quiet was completely destroyed by the raging wind.
Just as the fragment that had brought countless pains to Riven and Yasuo flew towards Kongde's throat, a whistling wall of wind appeared out of nowhere!
Then, under Riven's almost desperate gaze, the wind wall bound the fragments of the broken sword tightly in the air, unable to move forward at all.
The wind wall slowly dissipated, and the fragments of the broken sword fell to the ground, making a crisp tinkling sound.
Riven grabbed the wooden door of the cell with both hands, looking at the broken sword fragments that fell to the ground, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
She knelt heavily on the ground with her knees, murmuring constantly.
"It's all my fault. I caused all this."
At this moment, Riven seemed to have lost all motivation to resist, and she no longer wanted to continue to escape.
She was just about to kill another innocent person, and that person was the one she loved the most.
"Yasuo." Riven whispered softly.
"I am willing to atone for what I have done in the past. Go ahead."
As she spoke, the rune magic flowing on the broken sword beside Riven had dissipated, and she was ready to atone for her sins.
The strong wind in the entire cell was raging at this moment, and even the walls and wooden door of the cell were scratched by the wind blade.
This power is enough to turn any human body into dust!
However, just as the power derived from the Wind Swordsmanship was about to reach Riven, the storm in the entire cell suddenly subsided.
Riven's white hair no longer danced in the wind, and even the strand of hair on her forehead slowly fell back to the side of her ear.
