[Rose Enchantress] 06: Secret deal
"Victor - Vescello!"
The announcement made the people in the audience gradually come back to their senses, and the belated cheers resounded and deafened. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
General Du Kecao stood up, and the sergeant with the silver plate stepped forward, and the entourage wearing a hood and hiding his face stepped forward, and unfurled the large platter on the silver plate, draped over Du Kecao, the black large brocade with gold thread tattooed on it, which was the ceremonial dress worn for important occasions.
"Can you go with the general?" Gavin II stood up, his age and sedentary age made him a little unsteady on his feet, perhaps because he had witnessed the mighty shot. The head of the Crownguard family next to him tried to reach out to him, but he waved his hand to stop him.
"That's better." Du Kecao straightened his neckline, smiling and calm.
The general stepped down from the stands, without a bodyguard or a weapon, but he seemed to be a lion, tamed by beasts wherever he stood.
The Eastern warrior knelt before the general, bowed his head, and stood up when Du Kekao draped him in a blood-stained tapestry cloak.
Gavin II stood by and observed the winner up close. He is not tall, the Eastern warrior always has a relatively narrow skeleton, but there is a knife in his eyes, even in the face of the powerful minister Du Kekao, who is above 10,000 people under Noxus, and in the face of the king of Demacia II, the overlord of the West, he can bow his head, but the sharp edge in his eyes is not hidden.
"Congratulations, Warrior. Tell me, would you like to participate in the meat grinder? ”
"I'm willing to participate."
"There are countless people who died in the meat grinding competition, and they are all warriors like you, one in a hundred." Du Kekao said slowly. "Three hundred. Even so? ”
The gaze of the Eastern warrior froze in his dark pupils for a moment, and the brilliance became sharp and dazzling again. "I'm willing to participate."
"Good." Du Kekao turned and strode away, his big flag like a battle flag fluttering in the wind.
"What is a meat grinder?" On the return journey with the general, Givens II asked.
"He will fight against slaves captured from the battlefield in battle, and if he is defeated and dies, these slaves will survive, but will join the meat grinder for the following year. There has been a record of 50 people killed, but in recent years there has been no winner, and the number of surviving slaves has increased year by year. Surrounded by the Guards of the Two Countries, the two men left the bloody arena, and Du Kecao led him to stand outside a training ground, which was called a building, but it looked more like a deep pit dug near the arena, surrounded by spiked stone walls, like an open-air prison.
A team is trained in it, and the slogan is heaven-shattering. They move quickly, and with a simple slogan, they change into a variety of different formations.
"The people who train them are the generals of the Third Army, every year. The Meat Grind Contest was a gateway for slaves like Viscello to enter the Third Army, but it was also a way for commanders to be promoted, using the ancient military formations to fight against the warriors of Centaurs. Whichever side wins, it's a blessing for Noxus. ”
"Such a fierce general...... Doesn't the general feel sorry? Govin II said, his old, wrinkled hands trembling a little.
"It's not a pity. He is a good general, but he may not be suitable for the battlefield. The meat grinder contest is all about finding out who is more suitable for the battlefield. If he can break through the army with one shot, then bravery is valuable. ”
Gavin II walked in silence on the way back.
"It's not early. His Majesty is also invited to rest for a while, and he will send someone to inform him during the dinner. Du Kekao said and left.
Govin II returned to his room, where he had met the woman for the first time. She appeared out of nowhere, without warning.
She had no weapons in her hands. Wearing a pale golden tiara and a luxurious purple and blue dress that exposed a large area of skin, she looked like a noble lady attending a ball, her face was unrealistically beautiful, and her eyes and mouth always had a charming smile.
Zheng――
The head of the Mianwei family instantly unsheathed his sword, and in the blink of an eye, the cold edge of the blade fell on the woman's white neck.
"Excuse me, my majesty."
"Who are you?"
The woman laughed, a charming smile full of charm, which enlightened the atmosphere of ice and slaughter. "It doesn't matter who I am. You can call me Ms. White. ”
"LeBlanc ......" whispered the name Gavin II, the name LeBlanc, derived from the Demacian language, which means white.
"It seems that His Majesty has heard of me."
Jiawen II nodded, waved his hand and motioned for the head of the Crowned Guard family to withdraw his sword, "You stand down first." He said.
Ms. White - LeBlanc. It is impossible for this name Gavin II not to know.
After his father, Gavin I, had left the defeated Noxus, he had only a few comments about the chaotic city-state of Noxus, but he mentioned LeBlanc as "a rabble, a country of the poor." The king of Norbang is incompetent and mediocre. However, there is a beautiful daughter who assists it, and it is unpredictable, called Bai's. ”
The so-called Bai clan, written in Demacia, is the name of the leader of the "Black Rose" of the Norbon Magician Organization - LeBlanc.
But that was seventy or eighty years ago, and even Noxus has experienced the process of the fall of royal power, the pro-government of Darkville, and now Du Kekao****, with constant disputes and power reorganization, but LeBlanc is still a young and beautiful woman with a charming temperament.
"Since Your Majesty has heard of me, I will explain my intentions to Your Majesty openly and honestly. I know that Your Majesty has a heart for talent, and I don't want to see a fierce general put himself in danger and die for life. I have a way of fulfilling His Majesty's wishes. I just don't know, how much does Your Majesty value Viscero as a person? ”
"Any condition. If only you could keep him under my command. ”
"What if I want your crown?" Her white fingers caressed Govin II's aged cheek, "Joking with Your Majesty." I want a favor. The favor of the royal family of Demacia. Whether it is Your Majesty, or Your Majesty's descendants, you must fulfill the promise you have given. ”
Garvin stroked the ring on his middle finger and thought for a moment, then he took it off and spread it out in his palm. "I accept your terms. When it is done, I will give you this ring as a token. Whoever takes this vow, my son will be satisfied with whatever he asks. ”
LeBlanc picked up the ring with her slender fingers and examined it closely.
The ring is set with an oval piece of jade, adorned with the coat of arms of the royal family of Demacia, but the technique of polishing the jade ......
"It was given by the Ionian Presbytery twenty-three years ago, and it was accompanied by a bamboo slip that read: 'Stop war with coercion, and subdue people with virtue...... Walk the royal road in the world. She gently explained the origin of the ring, and put the warm jade ring back into the hands of Gavin II. Your Majesty will leave Norbang tomorrow, and hide in the forest south of the city with the elite winged cavalry accompanying you, and wait in the middle of the night three miles outside the city in the middle of the night, and your warriors will meet your Majesty at that time. ”
"The dungeons of Noxus are heavily guarded, and no one has escaped for nearly a decade. How are you going to get rid of him? ”
The white index finger stands up in front of the red lips, and the slender eyelashes tremble in front of the eyelids like transparent insect wings.
The woman disappeared, and her tactful voice was like a feather, falling leisurely in the empty room: "Shhhh ”
