I'm in Demacia, I just became a mage

Such a judgment is not unfounded. In fact, Noxus has sent war masons to infiltrate Piltover for nearly ten years—you must know that before the attack, Noxus sent war masons to map the city defenses, collect intelligence, and destroy the city. It's customary.

Some time ago, the activities of the Noxus spies became more and more frequent, but in the past week, all of them suddenly fell silent, as if they had received some news and they all left Piltover.

Caitlin had tracked down a war stonemason before, but when she was about to arrest her today, she suddenly slipped away, leaving only some clues in the streets and alleys that were too late to clean up.

This heavy rain added fuel to the fire, ruining all the clues.

Caitlin once proposed to the parliament the conjecture that Noxus might attack Piltover, but was ridiculed and refuted by those big family members.

They felt that it was impossible for Noxus to attack Piltover. These families had deep business ties with some nobles of the Noxus Empire, and they thought they knew Noxus very well.

In the eyes of these family leaders, although the Noxus Empire is powerful, there are many factions, and the internal fighting is more intense than Piltover.

The contradiction between the ancient powerful family and the new military nobles, the contradiction between the magic association and the Noxus regime, and even the military nobles themselves can play their heads.

Noxus is like using an iron fist to forcibly pinch a group of ethnic groups with different customs and civilizations, but that’s all. There is no sign of fusion between them, but the contradictions are undercurrent under the suppression of powerful militarism surge.

Therefore, most of the Piltover families have their own people inside Noxus, usually to collect some information that is beneficial to business, and if Noxus has plans to attack Piltover, they can also Get the news immediately.

What's more, in the eyes of the members, the benefits of Noxus' attack on Piltover are far less than the gains. Once Piltover loses its neutrality, its attributes as a world transit point and a world trade center will completely dissipate .

What they will get will be a run-down port city instead of a vibrant World Trade Center in full bloom.

The benefit of cooperating with Piltover is far greater than conquering Piltover, normal people know how to choose.

MPs are right and wrong.

The benefit of cooperating with Piltover is indeed greater than conquering this city, but the problem is that what Noxus wants is not to do business with other countries and city-states in the world, but you said that Swain, the supreme commander of the empire, would not Know the benefits of trade?

He knew that the Noxus Empire could not choose this path, and the conflicts that were about to erupt within the empire did not allow them to use cooperation to make the empire stronger.

Cooperation is too slow and will hasten the rot of the empire, and only the potent medicine of conquest is the best medicine for Noxus.

The idea of ​​harmony but difference does not work in Noxus. For this militaristic empire, the remaining independent cities and kingdoms have only two choices.

Either surrender, or surrender when the army is overwhelming.

Swain must make all preparations before the outbreak of internal conflicts in the empire, and then start the second war of conquest of Ionia.

War is always the most direct and effective way to resolve domestic conflicts.

Although the legislators did not think that Noxus would attack Piltover, the pressure of the war still put the city of Piltover on alert.

In the past month, the patrols of the Piltover guards have increased a lot, and the weapons issued are all loaded Hex kinetic rifles. However, there have been some discussions about the disposal of the captured war masons.

Fearing that the execution of the war masons would anger Noxus, the councilors simply withheld all their belongings and sent them to Belguin after strict inspection.

The giant Ferros family remained silent as usual. After undergoing a power reorganization, the Philos family became more and more low-key.

Recently, even the docks of the port it belongs to have been completely blocked. Some people said that they saw huge birds flying above the sky of their manor, and some fishermen also said that they saw big birds fall into the sea, but there are different opinions. , the truth has become more confusing.

Chapter 383 Chapter 40 The fallen leaves bring a message......

The Philos family also seemed to have discovered something.

Caitlin was recently at

When tracking down those war stonemasons, I often see that the lady of the Philos family is also investigating related matters, hoping that she can find evidence that can confirm that Noxus' target is Piltover.

Caitlin trotted into Baker Street against the heavy rain, and subconsciously turned her head to look west.

If it is sunny, looking southwest from the streets of Baker Street, you can see the harbor and the bay in the distance directly over the pennant on the top of the steeple along the way, but at this time the world is in a storm, and the distant scenery is like a gray mist Indistinct.

Just like the situation at this time, no one knows what is hidden in the mist of the rain curtain.

The rainwater hit the hat on the top of the head and made a rapid rattling sound. Caitlin took off the woolen peaked cap that was a little heavy because of the water absorption, and walked towards 219 Baker Street with some anxiety.

What is a little reassuring is that even such a storm did not completely silence Piltover. The sound of the clock tower could be faintly heard in the clattering rain. And close at hand.

The thick smoke from the factory area could not be seen, and the hum of mechanical rhythm came from the college area. The sound that could not be suppressed by the storm was like the beating of Piltover's heart, showing the city's vitality to the world.

Probably those scholars are doing experiments again.As Caitlin thought about it, the pace of trotting gradually slowed down. For some reason, the tall figure who liked to wear double-breasted suits, a top hat, and a walking stick appeared again in her mind.

Where has he gone...is he out of danger, or is he looking up at the same sky as himself?

Caitlin stopped at a section of the road away from No. 219, vaguely looking through the rain, and seemed to see a tall figure standing on the street in front of No. 219, next to the mailbox through the fence gate.

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking of a certain possibility, her glazed blue eyes slightly widened, and she even held her breath.

Could it be the person I think about day and night?

Caitlin subconsciously brushed her long blue hair that was a little disheveled due to the rain, walked over quickly, paused, pursed her red lips in disappointment, and immediately became vigilant.

She recognized at a glance that this person was not Li Weisi, nor was it one of any friends she knew, so who could it be?

Thinking of what she was doing to track down those war masons recently, Caitlin narrowed her eyes slightly, took out the pistol on her belt, and rushed behind the man very quickly: "Don't move!"

The man felt the gun barrel on the back of his head, and immediately raised his hands: "I'm not a thief."

"No one would call themselves a thief, including the thief himself."

Caitlin snorted coldly, and looked up and down carefully at this man. He was shorter than Levi's, about 1.7 meters [-], but had an unusually strong figure. He was wearing a recently popular and fashionable canvas windbreaker and a low top hat.

Unknown people indeed, never met, who seemed to be decent people from high society.Caitlin came to some conclusions in her mind and asked, "Who are you? Why are you at my door? What were you doing sneakily just now?"

"At your door?" The man wanted to turn his head, but Caitlin immediately put her finger on the trigger: "I advise you not to do that."

He had no choice but to shrug his shoulders: "As you wish." Then he explained: "I am here to send a letter entrusted by someone."

"Letter?" Caitlin frowned slightly, "To whom?"

He took out two envelopes, well protected by a tarpaulin, and handed them back: "To Ms. Caitlin Gilamann and Miss Boom, from Vikola in Shurima, say yes A gentleman named Levi's entrusted—”

Caitlin was in a trance for a moment when she heard the letter from Levi's to herself and Jinx.

The man seemed to have eyes behind him, and he grasped a moment's gap very keenly. He was short, and his hand hit Caitlin's wrist very precisely.

Caitlin also reacted very quickly. She took a step back to avoid his slap within [-] seconds of the man's movement, but just when the sight was about to aim, the man suddenly seemed to melt and turned into a pool of scarlet The liquid, swimming quickly on the rain-beaten streets, disappeared from sight in an instant.

mage.She took a deep breath, put away the gun, looked around, the vigilance in her heart had been raised to the highest, took out the key and entered the hall.

On the door frame is a post-it note left by Jinx, which says "I went to the Philos family and won't come back at night" in highlighter, with a graffiti-like Jinx face drawn on it.

Caitlin glanced casually and ignored it.

After Levi's disappearance, although Karikan, who claimed to be the Ascender, said that he was not dead, but there was no news. Whether it was himself, Jinx or Abigail, they were a little pessimistic about it.

Don't look at the fact that when it was mentioned that Levi's accident might have happened, Jinx would immediately pull out a gun and say that it was impossible, but a gun can't kill the doubts in her heart, but there is still a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she won't be completely desperate.

After a long time, Abigail, the eldest lady of the Philos family, came to find her. That night, Caitlin was going to rest on Baker Street for the weekend. She lived in the former bedroom of Levi's, with displays and many things. She didn't move at all, which would make her feel that Levi was always there.

With such a comforting mood, Caitlin just lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, and the next moment she felt that there were more people around her.

A person, who thought it was Jinx, subconsciously glanced over, and saw a little girl in a black court dress lying on the bed with her back facing her.

This girl was like a cat, she entered the room without making a sound, and how did she get in the door?

Caitlin was a little stunned at the time. She knew this girl, Abigail Fellowes, her rival in love, a girl who looked quiet and gentle, but was actually quite hateful, sharp-mouthed, and pungent.

Caitlin didn't like her at first, but now, seeing her slender back with steady breathing when lying on Levi's bed, she felt a little more pitiful in her heart.

She knew that Levi knew Miss Abigail's feelings for him, and she also knew that he was not ready to accept the girl's feelings.

If it was before, she would still have an aversion to her own things being coveted by others, but now, after Li Weisi disappeared, this aversion has turned into pity.

Caitlin seemed to see her former self, the self who pursued Levi under the moon but was rejected.

But the difference is that at least he finally accepted himself, and this Miss Abigail never got what she wanted...and probably never will.

Time is the best medicine for wounds. Even bad news that breaks people will gradually become acceptable as time goes by.

By now, several months had passed since that disaster, and Caitlin had gradually become able to accept the cruelest ending, and she was already mentally prepared for it.

Even when thinking of the Miss Crown Guard who was far away in Demacia, Caitlin had more pity than envy, so she also acquiesced in the behavior of this Miss Abigail who occasionally came to Baker Street as a guest.

Of course, such emotions are also in a sense the pity that the winners give to the losers.

After all, in a sense, No. 219 Baker Street was rented to Levi's by himself, so it was his home. If Ms. Crown Guard was not around, then this home was the hostess, so it was natural to entertain guests well.

Abigail's attitude towards Caitlin is completely different from the previous meeting in the Rose Hall. She is very polite, and she is also quite friendly with Jinx. The two often discuss some design issues together in their workshops.

Jinx is also often invited to visit the Philos family, Caitlin has long been used to it.

Hanging the wet woolen cap and coat on the coat rack, taking off the boots and socks, and turning on the alchemy lamp in the hallway, it is not eye-catching.

The water droplets dripping from the tip of the hair are crystal clear, and the white and delicate feet are exposed in the air, with a slightly wet halo, not too thin to make the bones stand out, and the delicate arches of the feet even have a hint of plumpness, Yuzhu Her fingers moved slightly.

By the way, Weiss has been saying to replace it with gas lamps.

Caitlin thought that if the weather was fine tomorrow, she could ask a worker to replace it, so she stepped on the wooden floor with her bare feet, the rainwater remaining on her body kept slipping, holding two oilcloth envelopes in her hand, she silently glanced at the dark living room , not in a hurry to open the envelope.

After carefully inspecting the house and finding that there were no signs of intrusion, he felt relieved, changed into dry clothes, dried his hair with a towel, sat in Levi's former study, looked at the envelope in front of him and exhaled deeply. Tone, put on a respirator in the desk.

Is it really a letter from him...

Caitlin rubbed the tarpaulin, carefully opened it, held her breath, bit her lips lightly with her white teeth, the torrential rain outside seemed to be getting heavier, and the sound of clattering sounded through the window, as if a layer of water was covering her ears Hazy, depressing.

呲la.

The oilcloth was torn by a paper cutter, and Caitlin took out the letter from it, which was addressed to Caitlin Gillamann, 219 Baker Street, and the sender was Levi's, and the seal of the envelope was printed with the sunflower mark.

It was indeed Levi's notes.

Caitlin became more and more nervous. Before, she always looked forward to when Levi's would send back news, but when she really waited for the letter that might be from him, she became a little apprehensive.

She was nervous, but the speed of unpacking was much faster. The letter paper was very dry. It can be seen that she was very careful during the delivery process. Since she was wearing a respirator, she didn't have to worry about what was in the letter paper—no He didn't believe in Li Weisi, but he didn't believe in that weird mage just now.

Caitlin herself is the eldest daughter of the Gilaman family, and she encountered many attempts to kidnap her when she was a child. After becoming a detective and a Piltover guard, this kind of vigilance has become much stronger, and it has almost become a habit.

Unfolding the letter paper, it was full of writing, all in Li Weisi's handwriting, very neat.

And judging from the signs of ink drying, Caitlin could tell that he wrote it on a dry sunny day—otherwise the ink would smudge a little on the parchment due to moisture.

It was sent from Vikola in Shurima, and it fit the weather there very well. The stone that had been hanging in Caitlin's heart for several months began to fall slowly, and she began to read this letter.

"Dear Caitlin, I read the words. It must have been a few weeks since this letter was delivered to you. I am in Vikola in Shurima, and I am waiting for Ezreal to go with me." To explore the royal city..."

The torrential rain kept falling, and she silently read the letter written by Levi Si to herself word by word, imagining what kind of mood he was in when he wrote these words, and seemed to be able to see her sweetheart sitting at the desk in the sun in a daze. next letter
