LOL: Kaisa's correct evolution manual
Chapter 315: Glorious Executioner
The Immortal Fortress is not big overall. As a powerful city, it is naturally much larger than other cities, but it cannot be compared with the Shurima Imperial Capital and the Presidium of Navoli. Most of the houses are classical and simple, and the overall look is khaki. Looking around, only in the city center can you see some bright colors.
In a tavern near the city center, guests in twos and threes were sitting at the table, drinking and chatting with each other.
This area can be said to be the most awkward area in the entire Immortal Fortress - close to the center, but never really touching the core. Most of the people living here are those who have made merits or titles, but are not enough to enter the upper aristocratic society.
Zhang Xu and his group dressed up in Noxian-style clothing and sat in a corner of the tavern. This has almost become Zhang Xu's standard when traveling - every time he goes to a new place, he routinely goes to a local tavern, under the pretext of gathering information, but in fact Zhang Xu just wants to taste the differences in the fine wines from different places.
"Hey, have you heard? There will be a big show at the Colosseum tomorrow!"
"A big show? What kind of big show can there be in a gladiatorial arena? Isn't it just prisoners or people being liquidated fighting each other? What's so interesting about that?"
"Don't you understand this?"
One of the men, who was well-dressed but looked like he was trying to show off his wealth, glanced around with a sly look, and then spoke mysteriously:
"I have a friend who works at the Colosseum, and he told me that the guy will personally fight in the Colosseum tomorrow!"
The chubby man at the same table showed a puzzled look on his face, and then as if he had thought of something, he suddenly realized and said: "You mean... the Glory Executioner?"
Speaking of this glorious executioner, the fat guest couldn't help but shudder.
Glorious Executioner, Draven.
The younger brother of the Noxian general Darius, and the most accomplished reckoner in the entire empire, he turned routine official duties into a spectacular show, attracting more and more audiences, and also earned corresponding glory and notoriety.
"Yes, it's him! I heard that he will go to the arena himself and fight the prisoner this time."
The well-dressed man showed an excited look on his face. "Also, I heard that the criminal this time is also an important person. I think his name is...what's his name?"
"Oh yeah! Call Riven!"
"Rui Wen?"
A look of surprise appeared on the fat man's face; he was familiar with this name.
"If I remember correctly, Riven was once a hero of Noxus. The Empire even gave her a magical weapon... How come she has become a prisoner now?"
"I heard that she will be punished for desertion. And the executioner is Draven. I don't want to miss this kind of scene. I'm going to buy a ticket now before the ticket price goes up."
"Desertion?"
The fat guest sighed. You know, as an empire that is ruthlessly expanding, the crime of desertion can almost be regarded as a serious crime on the same level as treason. No wonder Draven would carry out the punishment personally.
"Wait for me! I'll go buy the tickets with you. I don't want to miss such a scene!"
The two of them deliberately lowered their voices when talking, but the noise did not escape the ears of Zhang Xu and his group.
Listening to the conversation between the two guests, Zhang Xu's eyes also revealed a thoughtful look.
Riven?
......

The next day.
Arena.
Under the blazing sun, the entire arena seemed to be enveloped in a layer of golden light, creating a shining stage. The arena was surrounded by a series of stands, which were already crowded with people. The stands that were usually not full were already filled with people, and almost everyone had a look of enthusiasm and excitement on their faces.
Zhang Xu frowned, and sat down in their seats with Kasa and others beside him.
Because Lulu was too short, her view was blocked by the people in front of her as soon as she sat down, so Janna very considerately held Lulu in her arms. As long as Lulu stretched her neck, she could just see the scene of the arena below.
"Draven! Draven!"
Before the person in charge of the arena on the stage could speak, the crowd in the stands suddenly burst into loud cheers.
A tall man walked out of the passage on one side of the arena. He was still wearing casual clothes, hiding his muscles under his clothes, but he was holding two huge axes in his hands. The cold light flashing on the axes was enough to make people feel palpitations.
"This guy..."
Is he the most outstanding honorable executioner in Noxus?
Sarah blinked curiously, feeling that there was nothing special about this guy.
At least from her current perspective, Draven's strength is really nothing.
"This guy's beard is really ugly..."
Xiweier silently complained, and this remark also attracted the approval of the crowd.
Indeed, this guy's beard is really ugly, even to a new level of ugliness.
But the people around him didn't care about his appearance, even though Draven rarely appeared in the arena. But as long as he appeared here and stood here, he would be the most dazzling star in the arena.
Draven really enjoyed the scene of being cheered by thousands of people. He waved at the stands around him in ecstasy, his face full of ecstasy.
He enjoyed the feeling of being admired, the feeling of being covered in glory, and even more so the feeling of executing the prisoner with a flying axe.
He was born to be here.
Draven walked around the arena as if making a show, and then walked into the aisle amid the increasingly enthusiastic cheers of the audience.
He was going to change his clothes and wait for tonight's hunt.
Today's host also spoke at the right time and explained today's rules:
"Today, it's more of an execution than a gladiatorial fight. The prisoner, Riven, was once the captain of a legion squad. She was going to be sentenced to death for desertion!"
"But the current leader of our great Noxus is merciful, so as long as Riven can pass the three levels of the trial today, her crimes will be pardoned, and Noxus will forgive her!"
"Open the door and bring in the prisoner!"
As the host's slightly excited voice fell, another wooden fence door was slowly opened, and then a figure with heavy shackles on his hands and feet was pushed in slightly staggeringly.
A head of white hair stained with dust, a face that looked a little haggard but still pretty, and clothes that could not be called clean at all - he was surprisingly one of the protagonists of today's arena.
Exile Blade, Riven.
