In the winding alleys, the signboard hanging next to the lampshade depicts a dragon that has faded with time.

Dragon Bar. Those who know the truth know that this is the real Longtan Tiger's Den, where murderers and murderers connected to countless headless cases sell stolen goods and drink and binge.

"Is the room packed?"

The young beggar on crutches walked straight to the bar, showing his skill, almost like a regular customer.

"A1? It was already packed up. Need anything else? The one-eyed owner of the bar replied to him as he did every day.

"Hot water, I'm going to take a shower. Brandy also has a roast chicken. I have guests today. Incidentally...... Help me make a stick with lead inside. ”

Du Kekao just wanted to say that he didn't have any money, that the reward for the mission was not enough to spend so much, and that A1 was still first-class. He was a newcomer and didn't even know where he was. It's even harder to buy, and even though he's an aristocrat, the currency here isn't Darkville.

He watched as a dozen pieces of iron with the image of an evil dragon head were placed on the table by the beggar boy, and he was dumbfounded.

"No problem." The bar owner said, and then he immediately recognized Du Quecao behind him, "Mission accomplished, lone wolf." "That's his code name, and every killer needs one." Your remuneration. "The one-eyed boss handed him the money bag." Smoked it over. Other than that. He gave him another one out of Zero's extravagant expenses.

The dragon coin is just an iron piece with a dragon's head painted on it. But here, it's better than real money. Du Kekao is new to the world of killers and knows the rules very well.

You have to have dragon coins to enjoy everything that this place has to offer: comfortable and secluded rooms, good wine, good food, beautiful women and, of course, beautiful men......

There are also a variety of professional services: destruction of corpses, tools of killing, intelligence.

He takes on the most inferior task, helping a small merchant kill a drunkard, and then he can take over the drunkard's widow as a matter of course. For E and other missions, no matter how much the reward is, there is only one Dragon Coin as a bonus.

In comparison, he found that he was not even as good as this scruffy beggar on the street.

Wait a minute...... He's a killer?

"Yes, it's open." Zero smiled, leaning against the bar. "One-eyed, this newcomer is my guest today."

"This is the first time you've brought an outsider. Dogs. I thought you didn't want to meet friends. ”

"No, he's not a friend either. Let's go. He turned to Du Kecao and said that the boy was a head below him in height and probably not as old as him, but there was a sense of maturity and incomparable coercion in his momentum.

This bistro also offers lodging services, with low floors on the ground floor and spacious rooms on the second floor, doors hidden in secret locations, such as behind bookcases in the small parlor, or rooms like zero, open next to a real door.

When the wooden door was opened, there was a wall, and Zero put on the gloves he had taken from the boss to cover the key, and then gently peeled off the edge of the wall opposite the door shaft, and then pulled the false wall open, and then saw the locked door behind the dark passage inside.

"Every time the gloves are new and dry, and the gloves are worn so as not to stain the walls. Otherwise, predators with a keen sense of smell will find out. He turned the key to open the door, and the hot water was ready, steaming in a barrel in the center of the room.

"Tell me, why?" He asked as he took off his scruffy clothes.

"Why?"

"You are a nobleman. The killer is the lowest rank, only higher than the dead. He stuck out his tongue, and his youthful temperament was on full display.

"The family is in decline. A knighthood without money is nothing. ”

"And you're the head of this generation." After the lame boy finished speaking, he completely submerged his dirty head and face in the hot water of the bathtub.

"That's right."

After inheriting the family business, the Noxian nobility would abandon their names, leaving only the glittering title of nobility and the concatenation of their surnames, preferring to sacrifice their real names connected to their true selves to obtain the title of nostocracy, which is indeed in line with the hierarchical style of Noxus.

"My father was a general, but I never lost a game of sandplay, and I don't think I'm a mediocre person."

"That's nothing to be proud of. Fighting with stone figurines is a child's skill. Zero surfaced, and his hair stuck to his cheeks like aquatic plants.

"I had to do something! Before my crown is stripped away, I will only die after that, and my father's old enemies will surely cut me down after I fall into the water! Du Kekao stood up suddenly.

Zero sat calmly in the tub and looked at him, his gaze passing through his weed-like forehead.

"Do you really have a way?"

There was silence, only the fists clenched wordlessly, making a small sound.

"Nope. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen this path. But now at least you have proved that you are good, the first time you do this, it is difficult to kill people without drinking, but the wound of that drunk man is a fatal blow with precision. And you have eyesight, otherwise you wouldn't have paid attention to me. Trembling hearts, cold hands. He smiled and grinned, revealing the cunning teeth of the young man.

"That's right." He sat down and poured himself wine, sugar cane wine, which had already been prepared in his room. The aristocracy drank brandy a lot. He realized the boy's intention to order brandy at the bar.

"The sword of fierceness and domineering, the sword of swiftness as the wind, the sword of light dancing in the sky, if you have to choose, which one do you learn?"

"I learn the sword of fierceness and domineering."

"Good. You are the one I'm waiting for. Lone wolf. But would you like to apprentice? ”

"Apprenticeship?" Again, a foreign word that he did not understand the meaning of.

"The Ionians called their own followers 'teachers,' and the teachers were like fathers, and they had to obey their commands."

"Can I ask a question?"

"Huh?"

"How old are you?"

"XIV. In a little more than a month, he will be fifteen years old. How? Noxus is already an adult at his age. ”

"But I'm twenty-one." Du Kekao couldn't help but laugh.

"It's okay. Master never came by age. ”

"Okay."

"The apprentice must bow three times and knock nine times, and cut his wrist and then drip the blood into the brandy and drink it, which is called the alliance of blood. The rules of apprenticeship. When the brandy arrives, you do it. The boy smiled at one side of his mouth and sat upright in the tub.

Du Kekao finally understood why this little imp had ordered brandy, and felt that he wanted to cry without tears.

"Before that's done, you're going to call me Dog, my code name. I will also call you a lone wolf. ”

"Dogs?"

"Legend has it that once an animal is born in the midst of wolves, it becomes their military advisor." Holding on to the edge of the barrel, he rose from the hot water, the droplets rolling down his skin, and Du Qucao realized that the boy, who was seven years younger than him, had many more scars on his body than he was. "The front legs are short and deformed, and it cannot walk and run, so it must be carried by wolves at all times."

The metaphor was dramatically presented to Du Qucao, who could not help but believe that this scarred teenager was the fate he had been waiting for twenty-one years.

"You just said, before it happens? That means you have a plan? ”

Zero smiled and bowed his head.

"I will subvert this hierarchical nation, and you will be my agent."
