Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 522 The Threat of Black Rose
The Immortal Bastion, the capital of Noxus, sits at the heart of the empire and has a history well over 1000 years old, dating back to the conquest of Valoran by the Iron Wraith Mordekaiser.

After wind and frost erosion and long-term carvings, the Immortal Fortress has been gradually rebuilt in the past hundred years. The streets are layered, and some areas are even lower than the surface.

Even if it's not as deep underground as Zaun, and less chaotic than Bilgewater, it's still a slum that even the people of the capital fear, full of fish and dragons.

Even if nobles or generals pass here in the middle of the night, they must bring enough guards around them.

Only the three triangular prism-shaped castles standing in the center of the capital, as a symbol of Noxus, have a history of about 1500 years, and their scale and grandeur are no worse than the Castle of Dawn in the capital of Demacia.

Most Noxians believe that the Immortal Bastion was once a symbol of power, but that is only an evaluation given by outsiders who do not understand politics and magic.

Throughout the ages, many people have discovered the secret.

Mordekaiser's forbidden knowledge about controlling the soul and death, various secrets about the material realm, spiritual realm and other realms, even the secrets of demons, are buried deep in the Immortal Fortress.

The Pale Lady is the person who knows the Immortal Fortress best, and Swain, who has mastered the power of the hidden demon Ramo, is second, as the person who can be regarded as an old enemy by LeBlanc.

If it weren't for the deceitful tricks inherited from ancient Shurima that allowed the Pale Lady to separate countless "mirror flowers and water moons" and have puppets supported by themselves in various fields, Swain was worried that Noxus would fall into chaos and become the number one leader of the Grand Commander. If something happens, he will clean up the Black Rose members.

However, with the help of Li Lin, Swain rekindled the idea of ​​​​cleaning up the moths of the empire.

Teleported to the sky above Noxus, Li Lin looked down at his feet.

Contrary to the sense of technology in the Twin Cities, Noxus has a serious architectural style and narrow and claustrophobic streets. The most conspicuous is the Knox Stola unique to the empire-a solemn arch made of black stone, which means leading to Noxus. The gate of Texas, symbolizing the symbol and dominion of the empire.

This was Li Lin's first visit to Noxus, and it was depressing and dull, which was his first impression of it.

[The breath of black magic was detected, specifically classified as deception, trickery, and blood magic. 】

Before Li Lin could feel his emotions for too long, the reminder from the brain came, pulling his thoughts back to reality, and calling out the detected magic level.

"This level of deceitful magic is most likely Ms. Pale. As for blood magic..."

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, recalling the blood magic team he encountered in Demacia.

"Vladimir seems to have a lot of family members... Well, he seems to be the great-uncle of Fyego and the legacy of Kamavia. Why do the Hygari royal family like to make trouble so much?"

Li Lin shook his head helplessly, not thinking too much about it for now.

In order to maintain the relationship between the allies, even if the black rose is also a big threat to him, he has to take care of Swain's emotions and discuss with him the way to bring down Pale Lady and Vladimir.

After activating the optical camouflage module of the armor, Li Lin flew straight down from the sky, aiming at the Immortal Fortress.

Since the black rose had eyeliner in the Immortal Fortress, Swain discussed with Li Lin that he didn't plan to startle the snake, and let him fly directly to the commander's room.

According to the location given by Swain, Li Lin came to a balcony where several red-eyed ravens stood, landed directly, and removed the invisibility function of the battle armor, transforming into ordinary clothes.

"Look, isn't our Chairman Li coming here?"

Li Lin followed the familiar voice and looked up. This is Swain's study.

There were not many people in the room, and three of them were people he was familiar with, namely Swain, Darius and Delevingne.

Swain sat behind his desk, and Darius and Delevingne sat against the wall.

The other two men in the general's battle armor, with thick backs, thick arms, and many battle marks on their skin exposed to the air, sat on the sofa.

There is also a person who is wrapped from head to toe in a large robe, wearing a smooth black mask with no expression on his face, no male or female, sitting alone in front of the bookshelf on the other side.

Compared with the five people around him, this strange man in a mask has almost no sense of existence.

Swain got up from his seat, and everyone else stood up right after him, all eyes focused on the young man who suddenly appeared from the window sill.

Even the man in the mask had a look of surprise in his cold eyes.

"Let me introduce you. These two generals are my trustworthy generals, Leto and Meera. They are the heroes who put down the Battle of Locklund."

Using Piltover's etiquette, Swain stretched out his right hand to lightly shake Li Lin, and first introduced the two generals behind him who were no weaker than Darius.

Li Lin nodded to them, Leto and Meera returned the salute, but their faces were very cautious.

They are all veterans on the battlefield, relying on their fighting instinct and intuition to resolve countless dangers.

Their intuition told them that if they were to face this seemingly "harmless" young man with a polite smile and a gentle attitude, they would be killed in an instant.

This is a guy more terrifying than Swain...

After introducing the two generals, Swain stretched out his hand and turned in Draven's direction.

But before he could speak, Delevingne blew on the slender beard that fell from his nose to his chest, winked at Li Lin and said with a smile, "My name is Delevingne. I'm versatile and stylish!"

As he said that, he took out a dagger with a ring on the handle from somewhere, and spun it rapidly on his fingers.

Darius stared at his younger brother helplessly, and scolded, "Okay, now is not the time for you to mess around."

"cut."

Curling his lips for fun, Draven retracted the dagger, and Swain continued to introduce the last person to Li Lin: "As for this... Speaking of which, you actually have a relationship."

"Master Assassin General Du Kecao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Lin clenched his fist with his right hand and nailed it to the heart of his left chest, and greeted the mysterious man with a smile.

"Thank you for allowing me to remove another waste from the family, lest he insult Du Kecao's name." Du Kecao's voice was hoarse and indifferent, without any emotion.

"Please don't worry about it, General Du Kecao has always been like this...Come and sit here."

Swain invited Li Lin and the others to the hall outside. Li Lin sat alone on the single sofa at one end of the coffee table, while the others sat on the couch on both sides.

Si Wei filled the wine for them, and then sat opposite Li Lin.

From the beginning to the end, his left arm was under the hem of the simple coat, without showing too much.

"Now, let's get down to business."

The smile on Swain's face was restrained and became cold, not close to human emotions.

"The threat of the black rose must be resolved as soon as possible."
