As the servant knocked on the door for the last time, he turned to nod at Wei Dong and God Tone, with an inexplicable sense of tension. With a heavy push, the grand door slowly opened, revealing a scene enveloped in a blue light from within the room. Inside, a large round table dominated the center, with a huge crystal ball placed on top, its light shining like the depths of the sea, occasionally flashing captivating brilliance. Though the surrounding space was dim, the radiance from the crystal ball seemed to contain endless magic, filling the entire room with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
Surrounding the crystal ball were three hooded Summoners, the same three encountered by Wei Dong and God Tone in the meeting hall before. Their faces were concealed by the hoods, revealing only a pale chin and tightly pursed lips. Despite their attempts to remain composed, a subtle sense of tension could be felt from their stiff postures and uneasy gestures. Especially as Wei Dong and God Tone entered the room, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, followed by lowered heads, as if they dared not meet the gaze of these two new Summoners.
On the other side of the room, two young people stood by the window, seemingly engrossed in their discussion about magic. However, when the sound of the door opening echoed, their conversation abruptly halted as they curiously turned to look at the entrance. Their eyes were filled with confusion, clearly surprised by the arrival of Wei Dong and God Tone. Unlike the Summoner in the meeting, these two young men displayed more curiosity than fear.
The Two Brothers casually walked over to the round table, and God Tone pulled out a chair and sat down heavily, appearing somewhat exhausted. He complained loudly, "Oh damn! My legs are really sore! How far did we walk?" His voice echoed in the room, tinged with grievance. Wei Dong also sat down beside him; although he didn't speak, his slightly weary movements conveyed the physical fatigue that both brothers felt from climbing the tower.
At this moment, the two young men by the window noticed the presence of Wei Dong and God Tone. They temporarily paused their discussion, curiously observing the two newcomers. One of them was dressed in light armor, with a longsword at his waist, clearly a trained warrior. His gaze was resolute, giving off an impression that he should not be underestimated. The other wore glasses, was neatly dressed, and held several thick books in his hands, resembling a scholar. From their appearance and equipment, one could discern their respective inclinations towards magic and combat.
The warrior-like young man and the scholar-like young man exchanged a glance, seemingly confirming that they both sensed the extraordinary nature of the brothers. Although they were curious about Wei Dong and God Tone's sudden arrival, they also felt a hint of unease; after all, the powerful abilities demonstrated by The Two Brothers during the previous meeting had left a deep impression on everyone present.
God Tone's voice broke the silence in the room. Three Summoners with hooded cloaks seemed even more reluctant to meet each other's eyes after hearing his words. They exchanged a glance but remained silent, seemingly waiting for a certain moment to arrive. Meanwhile, Wei Dong and God Tone appeared at ease. Despite their anticipation for the upcoming challenge, at this moment, they felt an unprecedented level of attention and expectation.
The servant noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room and turned to the people inside with a hint of humility and embarrassment, saying, "My lords... I will go and fetch some drinks. Please feel free to speak your minds." With that, he left without further delay, quietly closing the door behind him. His departure added a thicker layer of silence and awkwardness to the already tense atmosphere.
In the room, the air seemed to freeze at the moment the door closed, and everyone was immersed in a strange silence. Wei Dong and God Tone sat in front of the round table, still trying to adjust their breathing, while the two young people by the window paused their conversation, their eyes showing a hint of curiosity. As for the three Summoners with their hoods on, they exchanged a glance, seemingly silently discussing how to proceed with the conversation.
The departure of the servant, though well-intentioned in bringing drinks to ease the atmosphere, inadvertently left everyone in a scene where they needed to break the silence on their own. In this situation, everyone was waiting for someone to be the first to break the silence, which only added to the sense of pressure in the room.
In this atmosphere, Wei Dong and God Tone exchanged a glance, with a hint of mutual encouragement in their eyes. They knew that as new Summoners, this might be a challenge they had to face and overcome. After all, in the world of Noxus, it's not just about the contest of power and magic, but also about communication and interaction.
Just as Wei Dong was about to break the silence, on the other side of the room, a warrior in armor also spoke up. The simultaneous sound from both sides abruptly stopped, followed by a cough from each, as if they were both trying to cover up the awkward moment in this way. There was a subtle hesitation in the air, as if everyone could sense the awkward atmosphere.
The warrior glanced at Wei Dong with respect on his face and respectfully said, "Lord Wei Dong, please go ahead." His attitude was polite and his eyes sincere, clearly showing his respect for Wei Dong's strength displayed in the previous meeting.
Wei Dong was touched by the warrior's politeness and appeared somewhat surprised. He smiled slightly, shook his head, and responded with rare humility, "Ah... no, no, no! Please, you go ahead." This statement contained a kind of respect for equal dialogue and also showed that although Wei Dong was powerful, he was still willing to give the other party the opportunity to speak in this social setting.
This scene not only broke the previous awkward silence, but also invisibly brought everyone in the room closer together. Wei Dong's actions made others feel his humility and friendliness, creating a harmonious start to the upcoming discussion. The respect shown by the warrior towards Wei Dong also demonstrated their recognition and expectations of the new Summoner. In such mutual respect and courtesy, the atmosphere in the room gradually became more harmonious, paving the way for the upcoming exchange.
