The correct way to cultivate poros

Chapter 399 The Old House and the Old People

The other party's question made Riven hesitate for a moment, and then said a name.

"Jerico Swain."

The news in Ionia was not well-informed, but as soon as she returned to Noxus, she heard the news of General Swain's coup.

Swain was a military genius, and with just a few warbands, he captured Presidio, the cultural center of Ionia, only to be left alone by the emperor's troops in the rear.The army was defeated, and Swain, who had his arm cut off, returned to Noxus and soon launched a coup d'état, pulling down the fatuous Emperor Darkwill.It was also because of his order that the last war came to an end.

The man smiled as expected: "You are wrong, Jericho Swain is indeed in charge of Noxus today, but he did not sit on the throne of emperor."

"Why didn't he become emperor?"

Riven was confused, launched a coup but didn't become emperor, what was he trying to do?
"Swain is an extremely sensible person. He knows that Darkwill is just a puppet, and there are other people who really control Noxus. In order to ensure that the power of the empire will not be monopolized by one person, he refuses to sit on the throne by setting an example. And set up the three-person council of Tri Farley to check each other."

"The purpose of his doing this is to limit people like us, but I have to say that under his hard work, the declining empire has begun to improve."

"Swain is a true patriot, Riven. If you join the army a few years later, you will definitely be able to be reused by him. But now, you must have been hurt by the fatuous emperor."

Riven lowered her eyelids, the other party did a good job in her homework, and what she said was basically correct.She exiled herself because she was disappointed with the empire.

"Naturally, it will not be a simple person who can regain power in our hands. Swain's biggest reliance is a demon from ancient times, which gave him the ability to see secrets. Now, his eyeliner is all over the Immortal Fortress, so We had to take the deal underground."

Riven recalled how the Immortal Fortress was different from what it used to be, and suddenly realized that when she came here, she had never seen so many crows circling in the sky, and their black trails could be seen all the way from the arena to the port.

She now knew who her employers were, who were secretly working against the will of Noxus.But this also just shows that they have the ability to send her to Ionia over the army.

After passing through the intricate tunnels and catacombs, Riven followed the mysterious man back to the ground.

They twisted and turned underground, but they didn't go very far.A bell rang from the direction of the port, and the cold wind picked up suddenly, carrying the fighting and shouting of Noxus soldiers in the distance, and drifted over the gate of the lookout clock.

The place the employer mentioned was just ahead, an old house that had been abandoned for a long time.It speaks of its former glory like a gigantic black shadow.The windows here are closed tightly, and several tiles on the eaves of the mansard structure have loosened and fallen off, exposing the rotten wood underneath, which has been left unattended for at least a hundred years in terms of dilapidation.

But such a house has not been bulldozed, and it is allowed to occupy the precious land. Only the owner of the house is a dignitary in the capital to explain it.

A mysterious hand landed on the dusty door, and the decayed door panel moaned uncontrollably, revealing the dilapidated interior.The parquet floor was littered with tiles and broken wood, and the mysterious man's feet avoided the wreckage without making a sound.

Although Riven had carefully stood on tiptoe, the soles of her shoes still made a sound when they stepped on the floor.She stood there and waited quietly for a moment, except for the noise she made, the old house was as quiet as a tomb.

Under the leadership of the other party, Riven came to a place that looked like a living room. There was a large fireplace by the wall, made of gold-patterned marble, and the overturned basket beside it was scattered with coals. The chimney may have been warm for a long time. The smoke is gone.

"Where is the person you want me to meet?" After being hung up for a long time, Riven watched the other person stop in the living room, and felt that it was time to ask clearly.

"You can see clearly." The man said with a smile.

The tattered curtains suddenly moved. Even though the doors and windows in the room were tightly closed, there was wind blowing in the room.

Riven took a closer look, only to find that there was actually a person sitting on the slanted couch, and he sat there like a silent statue at first.And as he moved, the dull air in the room also began to flow.

"Yasuo?" Riven recognized the man, the Ionian who had fought her in the arena not long ago.

"Yeah." Yasuo nodded, compared to Riven's surprise, he seemed much calmer.

After all, Riven was still thinking during the day that she would never have a chance to ask Yasuo to repay her kindness in her life, but she saw him again in the capital that night.

"Ma'am, since everyone is here, let's tell her about the mission." Yasuo said to Elise.

"You have to go to the mine in the Haolund Plain to the south of the capital, find a way to hijack some of the special crystal ore there, and then find a place to hide it. The task sounds simple, but I want to remind you that there is a black powder factory near the mine, and the empire sent It is heavily guarded, and if you want to hijack, you must first make a careful plan."

"Let's prepare for the plan when you arrive at the local area. I have asked people to prepare the carriage, and you will start tomorrow morning. As for tonight... let's make it in the mansion of the Zha'afan family. My house is still open." It's quite big, as long as you don't walk around casually, enter the kitchen, restaurant and other places to disturb my little cuties."

Riven didn't know what cutie Elise was referring to. Seeing that she was about to leave the living room, she hurriedly asked, "Where's the boat you agreed with me?"

Elise paused, and replied very formally: "When you finish the task, go to Besilico, someone will pick you up on the boat, go to Bilgewater first, and then enter Ionia from Phantom Port Weili , which is now the only port not controlled by Noxus."

After the other party left, Riven turned her gaze to the only living person in the drawing room.

"The thing about the arena..."

"It doesn't matter, your strength is also very strong."

She was clearly suppressed the whole time, but she heard the polite words that she was very strong. Riven was so embarrassed that she was silent for a long time before finding another topic.

"You were also hired by her?"

Yathos made some excuses and said, "No, to be precise, I'm helping a friend with work."

This friend Yasuo is hard to say clearly, Riven doesn't know Zell, besides, Elise is also his group friend, although he is not familiar with him, but it is really impolite to exclude others from the group in person.

There were many spiders in the house, and he had no doubt that what he said would be heard by Elise immediately.As for how Riven associates her relationship with Elise, let her guess.
