"You can get everything if you have strength, right? I know this 'tradition'." Chen Ce shrugged.
"Yes, but you must also be careful that everything you get will betray you - in the face of stronger people, they will choose to defect without hesitation." As he said this, LeBlanc glanced at Syndra next to him. .
"But with this person here, you probably don't have to worry about this problem... but you might not be able to get another woman, haha."
"That's just right. I didn't have this plan originally." Chen Ce spoke sternly, taking a sneak peek at Syndra.
The latter pretended not to hear anything, but the slightly cold expression still said everything - she is not as easy to talk to as Irelia and Ahri. If Chen Ce dares to do anything, he will feel sorry for her. She dared to let the other person fly 7/24 in Tiansheng.
The three of them walked side by side, and under the leadership of LeBlanc, they entered the inner circle of the Noxus capital. Compared with the disorderly environment outside the capital, the streets and houses here are very neat, but there is also money everywhere. and the smell of depravity.
"That's enough small talk, let's get down to business."
When the three of them reached the [Boulder Square] under the Immortal Fortress, LeBlanc suddenly stopped.
"The next step is to go directly to the meeting."
"Yeah." Chen Ce had no objection.
But before that, LeBlanc had one more thing to do: "Chen Ce is the only person participating in the meeting. Miss Sindra, please go with me to rest somewhere else first."
Hearing this, Sindra frowned slightly displeased, but did not refute directly. Instead, she looked at Chen Ce with a questioning look.
The latter thought for a moment and then agreed: "We are not familiar with everything in Noxus now, so let's listen to LeBlanc's arrangements first... I feel sorry for you, Syndra."
"I just want to take a break." Syndra didn't resist on the surface, but her tone became a little cold.
LeBlanc was too lazy to take care of her little mood, and immediately waved his hand to summon a clone.
"The clone will take you to a place to rest, Miss Sindra. Mr. Chen Ce, please come to the meeting with me."
The spacious hall seemed a little empty now.
Swain invited all the nobles, including General Kecao, out, leaving only two people - the Hand of Noxus, Darius, was naturally one of them, and the other was a member of the Assassin's Guild. Representatives sent by joint deliberations - "faceless men".
A "weird" whose gender is indistinguishable, all hidden under a coat, hood and mask.
Yes, in Noxus, where force is paramount, even assassins hiding in the shadows have the right to participate in the meeting-this means that they will have a place in the future [Trefari Council].
All three were present, but the meeting did not start.
In order to maintain the mystery, the Faceless Man did not rush to ask questions. This "task" naturally fell on Darius, who was already quite dissatisfied with Swain.
"Didn't you say there was a meeting? Everyone is here, why haven't we started yet?" The blade of the giant ax shone with a dangerous cold light, reflecting the majestic and cold face of the owner of the giant axe.
"No... everyone hasn't arrived yet." Swain shook his head, his eyes always fixed on the closed door. "There is another important candidate."
"Who?" Darius became even more unhappy - he was very annoyed that the establishment of the Trifali Council was not discussed with him in advance, and now that another person was added, he was even more unhappy.
"Who else is qualified to stand at the top of the empire? The finance minister? Or the parliament of the old aristocratic group?"
"None of them." Swain shook his head again.
"Could it be that damn underground magic association? Do you want them to compromise?"
"No... Calm down, my brother. If there is a chance in the future, I will explain it to you."
"If you don't explain it clearly to me, don't let anyone take away the power that belongs to the empire!"
"No, you misunderstood. I never thought about letting the fourth person join the Trifali Council." Swain pressed his hands patiently, "I just let him participate in the meeting, but I had no intention of letting him join the Council... This Just an olive branch and I hope he fights for you, for me, for us."
Hearing this, Darius calmed down a little and stopped arguing, but the expression on his face was still not that good-looking.
Swain stopped talking and just stared at the door silently.
Finally, he heard the sound of slight footsteps.
The door was pushed open, and two figures came into view.
It's two men.
One young, one middle-aged.
The young man wore a strange fox mask and hung a gorgeous long sword on his back - if you look closely, you can see that the blade is always exuding bursts of magic. Presumably, it can also be used as a national treasure. Enchanted sword.
There is nothing special about the middle-aged man. He is tall, bloated, and always has a very deliberate majesty on his face. He is a standard decadent aristocrat.
"Welcome, General Whipplers, and..." Swain stood up enthusiastically, silently sizing up the young man with a pair of vicissitudes of life and cunning eyes.
"Friends from afar."
"It's a great honor, my respected Lord Commander." The middle-aged man named Whiples returned the greeting respectfully, and then exited the hall sensibly.
Only the young man, Chen Ce, was left alone to face the two most powerful and prestigious generals in the entire empire.
Chen Ce didn't have any mood swings on the surface, but he was a little confused and unhappy inside.
The "General Whipplers" just now was actually LeBlanc... and she left directly after bringing him here, without explaining anything before coming.
According to the original agreement, she should say or do something at the meeting - even if she was not qualified to attend the meeting openly.
But now...
Chen Ce could only decide what to do on his own.
"Nice to see you." Swain walked down the stairs, his face full of smiles and enthusiasm. "I have admired your name for a long time, and it is an honor to meet you in person."
"..." Chen Ce remained silent, his mask covering up all the changes in his expression.
Swain knows himself?Was it LeBlanc who leaked the news to him?Why hasn’t LeBlanc mentioned this before?
Or does LeBlanc not know about it?Then why did she allow herself to attend the meeting at this time?
That's not right... LeBlanc's incarnation seems to be an old acquaintance of Swain...
Before Chen Ce could figure it out, Swain had already greeted him enthusiastically.
"This is the capable man recommended to me by General Whipplers - our friend from afar." Swain introduced himself to the other two people, "I invited him here today because I hope he can We are here to witness our oath and see the legal establishment of the Trifari Council!"
After the words fell, Darius and the Faceless Men of the Assassin's Guild both showed thoughtful expressions.
Swain took advantage of this moment to warmly hug Chen Ce.
The latter also still has some doubts.
Until Swain’s secret whisper sounded in his ears:
"First meeting, Mr. Chen Ce... Whipplers introduced you to me, and also mentioned your intention to cooperate - about Ionia and the promises made to you... Now please keep silent for the time being and keep it confidential. Your Ionian identity."
After saying that, Swain immediately let go of his hand and turned around to face everyone with a smile on his face.
And Chen Ce also learned a lot of information in these two short sentences - the most important point is that he was betrayed by that bad woman LeBlanc again.
Whipples was LeBlanc, and she never mentioned to herself what Whipples and Swain had said...
She never said a word about her cooperation with Swain, and she was completely unaware of it.
He pushed himself towards Swain's camp without saying a word. Could it be that he wanted to be her undercover?
Is she really not afraid that Mordekaiser will return to his immortal fortress today...
Chen Ce silently narrowed his eyes, and the power of the underworld in his body began to gradually mobilize.
Now, if anyone in the hall shows any behavior that is detrimental to him, he will directly pull Mordekaiser back from the underworld.
He didn't want to work for LeBlanc in vain.
He was very dissatisfied with this yet another deception.
Of course, Swain was unaware of these things.
He just opened his hands to everyone, as if embracing the entire empire.
"Now, the meeting officially begins..."
An assassin entered Darkwill's former palace - of course, it was not Darkwill who was inside now, but another man who was rumored to be "more brutal".
The guards guarding her were like blind men with their eyes open in front of this top assassin. Her erratic figure kept walking through the darkness, her light appearance as if she was wandering in her own yard.
She couldn't help but secretly laugh at the new commander's vision - even the palace guards were so miserable, and his so-called accomplices were probably just pigs and dogs.
The slender figure passed through the heavily guarded gates one after another. A few unlucky guards who could not get around lost their lives after seeing a flash of black and red light, and even died without being able to make a single cry—— And their bodies are destined to rot and stink before being discovered.
The true meaning of an assassin is not to be invisible, but to remain undetected.
Secret killing skills are also a required course for top assassins.
It is obvious that Catalina has implemented this purpose perfectly.
Just like her perfect body after years of exercise - soft, slender, and powerful enough, like a female leopard hiding in the darkness and ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, it perfectly meets all the conditions required by the assassin.
She was so confident in her assassination skills that she even thought she had reached the top - and that was actually the case.
Otherwise, why would that group of people assign her such a difficult assassination mission?
[Let Swain step down. 】
Six simple words, but it is the most difficult assassination mission in the world.
Assassinating the commander-in-chief of the great empire of Noxus is definitely the most impossible task.
But Catalina believes that she can do it and must do it.
As the empire's killing machine, she must obey orders unconditionally and clear all obstacles for the empire - this is one aspect.
On the other hand - and the more important aspect, she wanted to rely on this task to prove her strength, and she also wanted to gain supreme glory.
As long as this task is completed, she will surely become recognized as the number one assassin in the empire - and even the number one assassin in the world.
She desires glory.
She wanted the whole family to be proud of her.
In Noxus, strength was everything, not the political manipulation tactics her sister had learned.
She was close.
That splendid palace is right in front of you.
She could even hear Swain's eloquent voice.
She was still patiently hiding in the dark, observing everything carefully - Jericho Swain, the target of her assassination, an arrogant traitor; Darius, the most proud Noxian in the empire The faceless man, the representative of the Assassin's Guild.
and also……
A young man?Who is this?Why is there no such person in the intelligence?
That's all...it doesn't matter.
It's just... he seems to have a good personal relationship with Swain?
Swain actually asked him to be a witness to the establishment of the Trifali Council... His importance seemed not to be inferior to that of Darius.
Second goal...
Chapter 3 Miss Carter is not clean anymore
The meeting continued as usual, with Swain delivering his impassioned speech to Darius and the Faceless Men.
About Noxus' ambitions, about his long-term plans, about some of the compensation and privileges given to Darius...it's so complicated that it makes people feel sleepy.
Chen Ce, who attended the meeting as a "witness", was not interested in listening and only looked at the three people silently.
There is no doubt that Swain, who has mastered the power of the devil, is the strongest among the three, and his left hand, which has been hidden in his coat, is a symbol of the deal he made with the devil.
Next is the Hand of Noxus, Darius - although this empire's ever-victorious general seems to be just an "ordinary man" who doesn't understand magic and can only use brute force to fight, he is actually a little less powerful. Not weak - he once fought against Zed in his prime on the battlefield, and the result was that the two were equally matched.
And finally...the mysterious Faceless Man - an assassin who even hides his gender from the world.
Although he or she is ostensibly a representative sent by the Assassin's Guild, it's hard to tell his true identity... He or she may even be a member of the Black Rose.
The Trifari Council is composed of these three people. On the surface, they are monolithic, but in fact they have their own agendas and are suspicious of each other.
Soon, Swain finished his speech and flattened a stone slab on the table.
There are many dense words engraved on the stone slab, which are roughly the operating mode, rules, agreements and powers of the three-person parliament of Trifali Parliament. In the lower right corner is Swain's signature.
"Signing your names symbolizes the official establishment of the Trifari Council!" Swain said loudly, "This stone will be the starting point for the re-rise of Noxus! It will be stored in the deepest part of the Immortal Fortress, with All the secrets of the Empire live forever together!”
As he spoke, he pushed the heavy stone slab across the table - sliding it impartially in front of Chen Ce.
"Now, please sign the agreement under the eyes of witnesses!"
