Polnareff nodded, his tone becoming more serious. "Lord Wei Dong, in Noxus, war is not merely a means of external conquest; it is intricately woven into our social structure and national spirit. A prolonged absence of war can leave many feeling lost in direction and purpose, especially the young soldiers and generals who yearn to prove themselves on the battlefield and seek to bring glory to their country."
Polnareff nodded again, his expression slightly heavy as he continued, "Even if General Darius and Lord Swen employ the most skillful methods, they cannot completely eliminate all dissatisfaction and dissenting voices. During this time of peace, while we seem to enjoy a momentary tranquility, it is built on thin ice. The strength of Noxus has always been founded on our external expansion and strict internal governance. Now, not only ordinary citizens but even within the military, there are those beginning to question: if we start abandoning our very foundations, what will become of Noxus's future?"
Wei Dong listened and his expression became more serious. He pondered for a moment and then said, "So, The next Summoner's War is not just an ordinary battle for Noxus, but more like a trial for the future destiny of Noxus."
Polnareff nodded and said, "Indeed, Lord Wei Dong. The importance of The next Summoner's War far exceeds our imagination. It is not only a test for Noxus, but also a test for every Summoner, including you and Lord God Tone, of their beliefs and abilities."
"Sergeant Rad" then said, "Lord Wei Dong... I can see that you have not truly experienced war, but I must say that this kind of thing may not be something you can accept quickly. I think... you might want to consider what role you will play in this war... With your intelligence, you should soon realize that you are the most indispensable part of the entire event."
Listening to "Sergeant Rad," "Wei Dong" wore a thoughtful expression. "Sergeant Rad's" words seemed to remind "Wei Dong" that although they had crossed into this world as heroes from a game, the war they were about to face was far more complex and brutal than any challenge in the game.
Wei Dong sighed softly and said seriously, "I understand what you mean, Sergeant Rad. In our world, war is just a distant concept; we have never truly experienced such a thing. After coming here, we have seen many new things and have begun to realize the responsibilities on our shoulders."
He paused for a moment and continued, "If I play an important role in this war, I will do my best to ensure that this world does not become worse because of our arrival. I do not know what we will ultimately achieve, but I know that we will not shy away from it."
The atmosphere of the dinner gradually shifted to a pleasant and relaxed one after Wei Dong's deep conversation with Polnareff and Sergeant Rad. God Tone, with his casual humor and natural talent for performance, became the center of attention at the party. He played his little tricks from across the table, sometimes imitating members of the Summoner team, and at other times mysteriously revealing some "secrets of Earth," causing laughter all around, even from the usually serious Polnareff and Sergeant Rad, who couldn't help but smile.
Only Wei Dong, sitting at the other end of the table, gently holding a glass of Noxus special red wine, quietly observed everything. Watching his brother God Tone's happy smile under the lights, Wei Dong felt a complex emotion flicker through his heart. He was relieved that God Tone could find joy in this new world, but at the same time, he was filled with worry and uncertainty about the future they would face as Summoners. In a world dominated by power and war, how long could such a lighthearted moment last?
As the banquet progressed, Wei Dong's thoughts gradually drifted away as he began to contemplate how to expand their future in Noxus while also protecting God Tone, allowing him to maintain his innocence and happiness. However, when God Tone's gaze accidentally met Wei Dong's, he always found a sense of security and support in Wei Dong's steady gaze, which made God Tone's laughter more carefree and elegant. Every moment of the banquet quietly passed in this subtle emotional interweaving.
Wei Dong held the deep red wine glass in his hand and walked alone towards the window in the hall. Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, with occasional faint lights flickering in the distance, casting mottled spots of light on the dark earth. He stood quietly by the window, his eyes penetrating the glass, gazing at those lights. In this unfamiliar world, these flickering lights seemed to speak of the tranquility and serenity of Noxus, as if there had never been any wars or turmoil in the world, and everything was so peaceful.
But Wei Dong knows in his heart that beneath this seemingly peaceful land lies endless struggles and conflicts. Each flickering light holds its own story and struggles. A complex emotion wells up in his heart: on one hand, there is anxiety and worry about the unknown future, and on the other hand, there is a firm determination to protect God Tone and his new friends. As the night breeze gently brushes past, Wei Dong takes a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He knows that from this moment on, his fate is closely tied to this land with God Tone. No matter what the future holds, he will face challenges, protect those around him, and strive for a better future. Wei Dong takes a sip of the red wine in his hand, its bitterness and fragrance mirroring his current state of mind—complex and profound. Turning back to the room filled with laughter and joy, he feels a newfound resilience and courage in his heart, ready to embrace the unknown tomorrow.
