Ezreal and Caterina rode into the city in a carriage and headed for the Zaun embassy. There were two carriages www.biquge.info the Pen Fun Pavilion, one of which Professor Stanley sat in front of him, and the other for the two of them to use alone. Ezreal's heart was overjoyed, and he secretly praised the professor's intellect. There were no light bulbs and the atmosphere was good.

Caterina rarely took the initiative to talk: "What's the matter with your hair, it's turned black back in a blink of an eye?" You look skinny, are you in good shape, could it be that the magic mark is making a fuss again? ”

Ezreal touched his face, and at Katerina's surprised gaze, the knife's face returned to normal.

Ezreal: "See? I can use plant magic upside down, make myself emaciated, and I can turn back again. ”

Her cheeks tightened, and Caterina reached over to pinch his face, and Ezreal habitually took the eldest lady's hand. The eldest lady's hands are not delicate, because she maintains high-intensity training all year round.

Katerina's expression was unnatural: "Your face is so tender, and your palms are also... And my hands are so rough. But—" said in an anxious tone, "I've always worn gloves and used magic potions after each training session, but over time my skin has become resistant to the drug. After explaining, her eyes darkened, and when she was about to withdraw her hand, Ezreal covered the eldest lady's hand and put it on her face.

There was an inexplicable surge in her chest, and Katarina, who had always been slow to feelings, was flustered by this experience for the first time. She hurriedly rejected this feeling: "If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to deliberately please me. ”

Ezreal clutched it tighter, grabbing Caterina's other hand as well: "This is a strong and reliable hand, much better than the middle one." With these hands, both your followers and your family can trust your lives with confidence. ”

With these words, Caterina leaned over, and Ezreal knew that the time was ripe, and took the eldest lady into his arms. For the first time, the eldest lady experienced the feeling of having someone to rely on, like a haven from the wind, and the psychological pressure accumulated over the days was released, and her breathing was much smoother.

Ezreal was a little disappointed here, because the eldest lady was muscular, and her body was hard, except for the part where her chest was attached...

Caterina began to pour bitter water and share the pressure: "But, all this time, I have always messed things up. The rights of Noxus are changing, and I don't have a rhythm at all. The Durkkao family was eclipsed in a matter of days, and the retainers and generals changed their doors in a big way, and I didn't know who to trust, what should I do? As she spoke, her nose was sour and her tone was clumped.

Did the time come sooner than expected? Ezreal secretly said that Caterina was a girl less than twenty years old, and although her military career had sharpened her tenacity, her experience was still far from enough. How is it possible not to lose one's way in the vortex of the transfer of power in a country?

Ezreal climbed behind her back with both hands, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "There are no outsiders here, cry if you want!" ”

The eldest lady in her arms sobbed intermittently.

Receiving the tears of the eldest lady, Ezreal thought that the time was ripe and induced to analyze the situation:

"Cheer up, Miss, for the darkest hour before dawn will not last long. Noxus is a country of self-interest, and when the generals see the general's disappearance, they think that the Duquecao family will collapse, and the departure of these undetermined wall-to-wall grass is inevitable. However, there are also retainers who do not betray because of interests, and they are loyal, such as Gulagas, Jax, and Kieran, an ally in Zaun, who are still in contact with us. ”

Caterina sat up straight, collecting her thoughts.

Ezreal: "The higher-ups sent the Duke Kao family to the south to gnaw on the hard bone of the Niutou tribe, which seems to be a disadvantage, but there is also a good side. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, the key is to be able to see people's hearts. The wavering soul is more anxious to leave than anyone else. And those who follow you on your journey must be loyal warriors. ”

The consequences of General Dukkao's disappearance are coming to an end. After fighting Kyle before, I have recovered more of my memories, and I am more inclined to look at problems with the laws of "Tao".

What is the truth of the universe? It's "over and over again". The movement of celestial bodies as seen by the human eye is that small celestial bodies revolve around large celestial bodies, the moon orbits the earth, the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the Milky Way. This truth applies to the human world in the same way. When a power seems to be at its strongest, it must also be when it is weak. There are many crises, the road ahead is dark, and the dawn is often about to usher, don't fall in the moment before the dawn, you have to believe that it is not Jitailai. On the contrary, the journey is smooth, we must take precautions, and be vigilant against happiness and sorrow.

Using the truth is easier said than done.

Often people lie to themselves. How can you say that you will lie to yourself? Isn't that insanity? No. It's like in the game, when the wind is downwind, the mentality swells and gives the opposite side a turnover; When the wind is headwind, the mentality explodes, and the defeat is admitted. Both of these situations are contrary to the original intention, but they are particularly prone to happen, why?

Because there is grass in my heart, it is difficult to see my heart as a mirror, I was led by my own feelings, and finally deceived by my feelings.

As Cao Cao once said, "I don't even believe in myself", which is to point out this strange mentality of people. Western scholars believe that this is a self-destructive procedure of human beings. In any case, Cao Cao, who knew this, turned out to have an inflated mentality, and the Battle of Chibi was burned by Zhou Yu with a fire of 800,000 troops; Later, when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, he was so shocked that he almost wanted to move Xuchang to the capital, but he did not see the exhaustion of Guan Yu's army like Sima Yi.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. There are very few generals who can restrain the weeds in their hearts in the game. Such a general is almost victorious in a hundred battles. For example, Bai Qi and Wang Qian. When the timing is not the best, simply stick to it, which is actually responsible for the lives of his subordinates; When the time comes, give full play to your advantages and decide the battle.

Wang Jian is Wang Ben's father, and as Wang Ben grows older, he gradually reflects on his father's tactics. After inheriting Wang Ben's memory, he knew that the difficulties lay in two places, one was to grasp the turning point of the opponent's exhaustion and make timely moves; One is to grasp the turning point of self-failure, and accept it when you see it in time. The latter is more difficult than the former, because the greatest enemy in the world is oneself.

He has never interfered in the affairs of the Duke Kao family, and he is not qualified to have no chance to interfere, but the bystanders are clear, Ezreal thought to himself.

Katerina's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Why didn't I think of it?!" Don't look at Ezreal meaningfully, "Father is right... The one who is truly capable of leading the Scarlet Elite is you, and I should have believed in you a long time ago. To tell you a secret, sister she finds a clue about the disappearance of her father. If we defeat the Minotaur and clear the way to Nurima, maybe we can find our father in Nurima! ”

Ezreal thought to himself, I can find a fart! You're only telling me about it now, but I heard about it from Jax.

Ezreal nodded yes, because he had promised the general to keep it a secret.

Ezreal continued the topic just now: "The purpose of the southern expedition is to verify people's hearts, and preserving strength is the best policy. There are people who covet the honor of victory more than we do. Darkwell desperately wanted this honor to save the disintegrating forces, but he didn't have enough troops, so he deliberately approached the second lady and proposed to send troops together. Although this kid is allowed to attack with soldiers, we only do backup and flanks. When the time comes, remember to talk about this, and don't pinch each other and cause unnecessary casualties. The Noxus executives in the rear are still staring at it. ”

Caterina was a little reluctant to say, "Why give him this honor?" When his father disappeared, all the retainers in the core disappeared. We are short in numbers, but we have more heroes than him. ”

Ezreal said solemnly, "You haven't realized what a powerful leader you are, taking advantage of this vacuum to bring together the forces of Noxus!" ”

Katerina: "Who!?" ”

Ezreal muttered, "It's Svein. Isn't it strange that he is still a general in the military council, but that many of the officers in Noxus would rather lower their ranks to belong to Svein's troops? ”

This is a secret, confirmed by Ezreal from the Morgana and Kyle sisters.

Svein was one of the few heroes of the first generation of human beings who passed the baptism of the magic element and completed the so-called magical ascension by himself without the help of any ritual. In Noxus, Svein has another important identity: the leader of the rebel army a hundred years ago, and the first general of Noxus. Only Svein's powerful magic can release the undead warrior Sein and firmly control it.

Isn't it normal for such an old fox to calculate the death of the Duke Kao family and the Darkwell family?

After hearing this, Caterina was dumbfounded, and was shocked for a while before she said, "No wonder... Draven's elder brother, Darius, the Hand of Noxus, was demoted to Svein's army as an adjutant of a thousand. Wait a minute! Is this true? How do you know? Where did you get the news... Can you tell me? ”

Caterina realizes that this is a well-informed and secret channel.

Ezreal cupped Katarina's face, looked at her mouth, and said, "Can you keep this mouth a secret, if you don't keep it tight, it will hurt everyone." ”

Caterina put her hands around Ezreal's neck and jerkily leaned her little mouth over for a kiss, a first kiss. Communication on the tip of the tongue,

Ezreal suddenly discovers that this eldest lady, who has never dressed up, also has a good point, and her water is fragrant and sweet, like an orchid and musk, comparable to the taste that Zyra deliberately created with magic. As soon as she tasted the deliciousness, Ezreal subconsciously wanted to take it for herself, and implanted a soul connection with the Tianyan Dao voice in front of her eyebrows.

After reaffirming that Caterina had no purpose or malice, and that she had nothing to do with the battle for divine power, Ezreal informed her of the Angel Sisters' identity.

Ezreal explained, "Morgana and her family have lived for a long time, and they have known Svein, the first general of Noxus. ”

Katerina: "Angels and fallen angels? Magical creatures again? How talented are you in magic that even legendary creatures look up to you? ”

Ezreal: "They all said my soul matched them, so I became their contractor. ”

Yes, Kyle has made a pact with Ezreal. Kyle was tormented by the Three Plagues of Flames and broke off his contract with Lux, and then Angel Armor triggered a resurrection passive. Unexpectedly, the Three Calamities are still erupting, and Kyle takes advantage of his second life to quickly find Ezreal.

Ezreal looked back and thought it was incredible. If it smells the same as Morgana, why would it match Kyle? The younger sister admires freedom, while the older sister strictly abides by the precepts. After pondering carefully, Ezreal found that his most ideal concept was the Shang Tong of the Mo family who was "the same from the top and the bottom of the family".

It is a question mark whether the world will go to an absolutely average Datong world. However, before the world is "united", it is necessary to go through the stage of "universal harmony". Shang Tong: That is, first seek absolute average, first seek relative reasonableness.

Throughout the changes of human history over thousands of years, the human heart has not greatly evolved to the point of being very kind. Times are changing, but people's hearts haven't changed much. The cycle of war in human history is longer than the cycle of peace, and the essence of peace is a cycle of armistice. To restrict, there must be a set of strict and effective laws, which is the same as above; Peace is to improve the life of the individual, and it is necessary to give the individual free space, and there can be no harmful oppression. The two important key points before and after correspond to Kyle and Morgana respectively. Ezreal was glad that it was a coincidence, and he came up with the idea of using the Valoran world to experiment with the "Shang Tong World".

The two were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts.

Caterina was thinking that this man's magic genes could be certified as god-level magical creatures, and perhaps it would be a good choice to include him in the belly of Duke Kao's family.

Caterina has an attachment to the idea of marriage, so persistent that she can endure vinegar, as long as she can give birth to a great assassin. This kid has to have the skills to be like General Dukkao, and he has to have the temperament to be like General Dukkao. The facial features of the child's appearance should be like his grandfather, his intelligent thinking mode should be like his grandfather, the characteristics of his body should be like his grandfather, he should be good at using a knife, he should be good at teleportation, in short, everything should be like his grandfather.

Caterina's thoughts made Ezreal feel ashamed, and secretly asked her if this was considered "love. paternal complex", or did General Dukkao influence her too much.

With a "boom", the carriage overturned, and the carriage rubbed on the gravel road and hit a stone wall. Then, the cannonballs of magical energy rained down into the sky, blasting the carriage to pieces. The horses pulling the cart turned into a puddle of flesh and blood in the wail.

"You-! You killed both of them? ”

A female general in armor Cheng Liang questioned another commander in a red cloak.

"No, no, no, Captain Ruiwen, don't worry. My Vladimir's nose is the most spirited, and I have not yet smelled the strong smell of human blood. They must have slipped out with a flash of spatial magic before the carriage shattered. ”

This is an encirclement, and the crossings are heavily blocked. The runes of these soldiers were well-armed, and the six shield soldiers in the front row opened a rune barrier to form a rune barrier; The six magic soldiers in the back row were arranged on the six-star magic circle, condensing their magic power. There are three such combinations blocking the T-shaped streets, two at the high ground, and four on standby outside for support.

Ezreal and Caterina were temporarily undisturbed, hiding on the other side of the wall. There are not many buildings in the barrier, except for the highest point building occupied by the magic cannon, and there are a few dilapidated houses scattered around. Originally, it was a good choice to hide in these houses, but the other party occupies the commanding heights, and once you walk around the courtyard, your whereabouts will be violent. Dew.

Caterina was furious: "The white background of the Scarlet Village is Svein's Bloody Weeping Army. These souls dare to openly attack friendly forces in Noxus City. ”

The black background of the Scarlet Village is the scarlet elite of the Duke Kao family. The golden bottom of Scarlet Village is the escort team directly under the general.

Ezreal thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No. They took advantage of it. We were in the carriage of the expatriate Zaun. They had every reason to say that there were Assassins operating in the Zuan Mission, but fortunately the Bloody Weeping Force eliminated them in time. ”

Caterina raised her eyebrows, and wanted to ask Zuan Isn't he a Noxian camp, and he is not afraid of allies protesting from indiscriminate attacks? With a mouthful, he took it back and changed his words: "It was Steinecker who sold us?!" ”

Ezreal smiled wryly and nodded.

Zaun protests? No, Steinecker, who had been complicit in the long run, would have thanked Noxus for his help. If Ezreal and Caterina die here, Noxus will say that he "died in battle for helping to destroy the Assassins". Aren't you famous for your assassin abilities, saying that you were killed by assassins, and after prevaricating your reasons, you can also step on corpses and slander honor by the way.
