Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 330 The Pale Lady Appears
After almost a whole night of busy work, at dawn the next day, Li Lin in a white coat came out of the room.

After the meeting, Jarvan IV has been guarding the door since late at night.

As soon as he heard the sound of the door, he immediately got up with Shivana and Paldek, and walked to Li Lin who closed the door casually, followed by two guards of the Fearless Pioneer.

Since Albuquerque was doing all the chores in Renwall Town during this period, Jarvan IV asked him to take a good rest last night, and come back when he was going to attend the prisoner exchange meeting before the meeting.

"How's the situation?" Jarvan IV asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, it's resolved."

Under the astonished eyes of several people, Li Lin controlled the white coat on his body to change into ordinary clothes.

He noticed the eyes of Paldek and two soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer, and explained with a smile: "This is Piltover's nanotechnology. What I study is not magic."

Afterwards, Li Lin continued to look at Jarvan IV, and briefly described the situation of the six soldiers in the room: "I have removed their necrotic eyeballs and performed operations on them.

"With their current recovery speed, if they rest properly and keep up with nutrition, it will take about a few months for their eyes to grow back.

"As for the specific recovery speed, it is related to their personal physique, whether it is fast or slow."

In fact, Li Lin can make their eyeballs grow in a shorter time.

It's just that these soldiers have not received the enhancement of "gene enhancement agents" and "activity enhancers", so there is a small probability that their gene sequences will collapse if they do so.

No matter how small the probability is, even if it is less than 1%, it seems to him that it is very likely to happen.

Li Lin would rather prolong the healing process than live up to the trust of Jarvan IV and let these soldiers die due to such a small probability event.

"This...isn't magic?"

This is the first time Paldeck has heard that the ability to cut off the eyeball and let the human body grow back is not a magical technology.

In other words, even magic can't do this level, right?

"According to Li Lin, this technique should be called 'Give Different'... Uh, forgive my pronunciation, we don't have this word in Demacia."

"Gene, Your Highness." Li Lin corrected, "I call it 'genetic engineering'."

"Yes, gene, that's the word." Jarvan IV turned to Paldek and said.

But Paldek nodded with a vague understanding, with a dazed look on his face.

Li Lin didn't intend to waste time explaining to him. Anyway, he couldn't understand this kind of knowledge that seemed too professional and novel in Piltover.

The time is about eight o'clock now, and he made an appointment with Jarvan IV last night to attend the Noxus prisoner exchange meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon, so he had to get ready quickly.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as Li Lin said it, Jarvan IV knew what he wanted to express. He waved his hand and said, "Everything is arranged. I arranged for an envoy to ride a fast horse to negotiate with Noxus last night. They agreed."

He paused and glanced at both sides of the castle corridor.

In fact, this castle is strictly controlled by the Fearless Pioneer Company, and the air combat machine Storm is patrolling 24 hours a day. It is impossible for "spies" to infiltrate.

But out of prudent considerations, Jarvan IV first made sure that there were no outsiders here.

Because they will leave later, there is no time to go to the combat conference room.

"We have made a battle plan last night, but this is a plan specifically for the Fearless Pioneer Company, and you are not taken into consideration." He whispered, "What are you going to do?"

Li Lin paused for a few seconds, "Do you know the Black Rose Society of Noxus?"

Jarvan IV's face suddenly became serious, "Is this related to the black rose?"

I can't say it's related, I can only say that this action against you was completely planned by Black Rose.

Li Lin nodded, "The blood clan who controls blood magic is very similar to one of the founders of Black Rose."

"Vladimir...I have seen his name in books." Jarvan IV said in a deep voice, "but he has disappeared in the long history of Noxus."

"Many people think he's dead." Li Lin said lightly, "Those who can skillfully use blood magic can easily extend their lifespan."

"How did you know?"

"It was told to me by a wise man, a warrior of the gods who walked in the golden fortress, and also a grand maester of the Shurima Empire."

"Varied--"

Not only Jarvan IV, but also Shyvana, Paldek and the two soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard were shocked.

"You..." Jarvan IV was almost speechless.

After a few seconds, he calmed down his shock, and then he stuttered and asked, "Could it be possible that you have seen ascenders... do they really exist?"

"Naturally, Your Highness, haven't you heard the news of the revival of the Shurima Empire?"

Jarvan IV: "..."

"Your Highness, you have been staying at the border for the past few months to deal with banditry. It is normal for news to be blocked."

Palrek was clearly aware of these things, "Azir, the last emperor of Shurima, was resurrected as a god, returned to the city of the sun that had fallen for thousands of years, and erected a solar disk in the middle of the desert again."

"Damn it..." Jarvan IV clenched his fists, "Then the threat we have to face is not limited to Noxus."

"You needn't worry about Shurima, Your Highness."

Li Lin's words attracted the attention of several people.

"how do I say this?"

"I witnessed the return of the desert emperor."

He once again threw out a piece of news that shocked the five people to the point of speechlessness.

"How is this possible?!" Paldek shook his head, "At that time, you were not..."

"I happened to be in Shurima at the time because I was busy building the hex-gate."

Li Lin thought for a while, then pulled out the Ascension Talisman Pendant from his chest, "This is the item God Emperor Azir bestowed on me."

Jarvan IV recognized at a glance that it was the "Amulet of Ascension" of Shurima. The history of various countries is a compulsory course for a prince, and he has recorded these contents in the classics of Demacia.

He nodded and signaled to Li Lin, "Don't take this thing out in the future."

"I understand." Li Lin put away the pendant again, "I will not be able to explain my experience in Shurima for a while. Now is not the time to talk about it, but Shurima will not threaten Valoran. I can promise."

Although Jiawen IV felt itchy, he was eager to know how Azir was resurrected, and how he made friends with the gods.

However, he could tell the importance of the matter clearly, so he didn't ask too much about it.

"So, Vladimir is still alive? Just like that mysterious pale lady?"

"That's right." Li Lin affirmed Jarvan IV's guess, "The reason why Demacia has information about Vladimir is because the blood magic can change his appearance and hide him among ordinary people."

These contents about the ancient taboo blood magic were not told to Li Lin by Nasus, but something he himself knew.

It's just that on this occasion, at this moment, they can't get in touch with the Ascended, so they can just use Nasus as a "shield".

After all, the words of a god who has lived for thousands of years are still very credible.

"You mean, the black rose is behind this incident?"

Paldek frowned, thinking of what His Royal Highness said about encountering a powerful vampire who almost instantly killed them all.

"In the past few hundred years, many things that happened in Valoran have black roses behind the scenes."

Jarvan IV had a gloomy face, "It can even be said that the empire of Noxus was built on the basis of black roses."

Li Lin was very surprised, he didn't expect that he even knew these things.

But thinking about it again, he was relieved.

As a kingdom that has been able to contend with Noxus for hundreds of years, Demacia relies on more than just the defensive barrier of the Demon Stone.

If even some deeper information cannot be detected, Li Lin will doubt how this country has persisted until now.

"If it's a black rose, the negotiation meeting this afternoon will be even more dangerous, Your Highness." Palrek said anxiously, "What should we do this afternoon?"

Jarvan IV bowed his head in thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to Li Lin who was still smiling and looked confident.

"Black roses are nothing to fear...at least on the border of Demacia."

……

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Lin arrived at the agreed meeting place along with Jarvan IV, Shivana, and the six shield formations of the Fearless Vanguard.

They were accompanied by several prison wagons carrying 30 Noxian prisoners, and another 10 shield formations who were secretly hiding their whereabouts.

In order to show their sincerity, the Noxus side deliberately determined the meeting place to be on the border of Demacia, right in the Tranquil Lake basin, the surrounding area was extremely empty, and there was no place to ambush.

There happened to be a small uninhabited village where all the villagers had fled, which could be used as a place for negotiation.

"This village is called Tranquil Lake Village, right?" Jarvan IV asked Albuquerque beside him.

"Yes, it looks like the Noxians have arrived," the adjutant responded.

On the other side, Paldek suggested: "Your Highness, let me send a shield formation into the village to investigate the situation."

Without waiting for Jarvan IV to make a statement, Li Lin took the lead and said, "Don't bother, my drone has already detected the internal situation, and there is no ambush."

He pointed to a few people around him, and an invisible nano-reconnaissance drone was revealed, which made the shield soldiers who were closer to them exclaim.

"Optical camouflage technology is made by using the principle of refraction of human eyes and light, and by collecting information from the surrounding environment, it can achieve the effect of integrating with the environment."

With that said, Li Lin asked the drone to project images captured by several other drones that had sneaked into Tranquil Lake Village, and showed a Noxus team resting in the house, and even Ted's location. come out.

There are a total of 50 Noxus soldiers in the village, excluding an elegant middle-aged woman with pale skin like snow who is waiting in what looks like the village headman's house, and a man dressed differently from others, who looks like a commander strong man.

Among them, when Li Lin used "digital thinking" to display the information panel of a middle-aged woman, he couldn't help but gasp.

really!

That guy is one of the founders of Noxus, known as LeBlanc of the Pale Lady!
Of course, the one present couldn't be her true self, but a clone that she transformed with magic.

In addition, Ted was tied up on a pillar mountain in an abandoned house, guarded by several heavily armed Noxian soldiers.

He lost his right arm, was covered in scars, and looked miserable after being tortured.

"That's Ted! Damn it, these Noxian bastards!" Seeing his current appearance, Jarvan IV couldn't help but curse.

They originally agreed to exchange 30 Noxian captives for Ted, but when Jarvan IV agreed, he did not expect Ted to be like this.

However, after experiencing a setback, the prince's mind has matured a lot, and he has not shown any extreme actions or issued irrational orders.

Moreover, Li Lin can regenerate the soldiers' eyes, and an arm must not be a problem.

Jarvan IV took a deep breath and quickly calmed down his anger, "Let's enter the village."
