Chapter 697: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain (Three Watches)
"No, he is the messenger of that tyrant, and he has come to the Immortal Fortress to bring us destruction." LeBlanc said hatefully that her hatred seemed to have accumulated for thousands of years, even beyond the city's history.
"Tyrant?" Elise was confused.
For hundreds of years, all the rulers before Svein had been controlled by the Black Rose and reduced to puppet emperors, and she had never heard of an emperor who had caused LeBlanc to suffer such a big loss, not even Darkwell.
"You didn't live under his brutal rule, but you should know him." LeBlanc whispered with fear and awe as she pointed to the headless fountain statue in the garden.
Elise remembered a terrible legend of a warlord obsessed with slaughter and destruction, whose brutal conquests had wiped out almost an entire generation.
Killed twice and reborn three times, his legacy still looms over the Empire. The ubiquitous headless statues in the Old Town are still a reminder of his presence, and everyone knows that he is not really dead, but waiting for an opportunity to return to the human world.
This legend has been passed down for thousands of years, and when everyone gradually forgot about him, Jeno's appearance suddenly revealed the bloody reality to them.
"Are you talking about Maude......"
"Shhhhh ”
As the leader of the Black Rose, the one who sealed the tyrant, LeBlanc knew very well that when the true darkness came, the rose could not grow in darkness, but would only die in it.
Now, she wants to confirm whether Jeno is really dead, and she vaguely feels that Jeno died a little too easily.
She crouched down and used her staff to remove the burqa from the corpse, only to find that the twisted corpse had been infused with deadly toxins, but still exuding magical fluctuations.
"Huh? This familiar magical aura ......" LeBlanc cast a spell through his staff, only to see a puff of smoke suddenly rise from Jeno's corpse, full of the smell of corruption, and the strange flowers and plants in the garden were touched by the smoke and withered.
LeBlan's heart was shocked, and her figure instantly appeared several meters away, and a pair of eyes stared in disbelief at the human form in the smoke and slowly dissolved into nothingness.
How could she not know it, this was a trick she used that was too familiar to be familiar!
She relied on this hand doppelganger technique to confuse the public, toying with people in the palm of her hand, and creating an illusion that she knew everything and everything.
When the smoke cleared, the burqa that had been propped up collapsed, and the body under the burqa had disappeared into thin air.
often walks on the shore, how can she not get her shoes wet, but she didn't expect that one day, she would also be deceived by the trick she created, and this mistake made her millennium plan in jeopardy.
"Back to the Immortal Fortress!" At this moment, LeBlanc also realized where Jeno's true body would be, and immediately turned around and left the manor.
As night falls, the center of this conflict has quietly shifted to the Immortal Fortress, but the ignorant still party all night on the dance floor.
……
Using LeBlanc's magic and disguised as the Noxian Commander, Jeno led two soldiers through the guards' circle, revealing the Immortal Fortress in front of them, dark and aggressive.
Then came a long staircase, sandwiched between two monoliths.
The triumphal staircase leads to the Audience Hall, and every twelve steps on the staircase stand guards in straight uniforms with three notches in their breastplates on either side of the staircase, covered with dark red cloaks—these two are no ordinary guards.
In a land full of murderers, the Trifali Legion is the most revered name for all—friend or foe. It is said that as long as they appear, city-states and nations would rather surrender on their knees than confront them on the battlefield.
However, this claim was already defeated in the Battle of Stand, and Jeno and the Ionians fought off the Trifali army led by Darius.
But it would be foolish to be an enemy of someone else's territory, and it would be better to sneak in quietly, he didn't want to make a big move and alarm LeBlanc and Svein to make them come back early.
Jeno didn't ascend the stairs, his destination was not to go above the Immortal Fortress, but to its underground. The Immortal Fortress's underground is far more open to exploration than it is above ground.
So, after glancing at the red banner fluttering on the wall, Jeno walked around the fortress with two of his guards, towards the shadow he had thrown himself into.
Long before the ball began, Jeno had already taken Sivir and Riven to the center of the city, the three huge monoliths that shimmered with dark energy, which were truly immortal fortresses.
And Jeno on the dance floor is just a doppelganger he conjures up with LeBlan's magic, and poor Cassiopeia doesn't know that he's obsessed with a shadow.
Jeno's purpose was always simple, it wasn't a matter of a day or two for him to avoid Svein and LeBlanc and infiltrate the Immortal Fortress.
But the Immortal Fortress has been planned by LeBlanc as her forbidden place, and there are many dangerous things hidden inside. Outside, because of Svein's blockade order, there were many Trefali soldiers stationed, and the defense was so impenetrable that not a single fly could fly in.
Svein and LeBlanc each monitored the movements around the Immortal Fortress, and if they broke through, they would be caught between LeBlanc and Svein, and Jeno was not sure that they would be enemies at the same time.
And the three boulders formed an enchantment, and Jeno couldn't use teleportation to enter it, so he had to find a way to trick them out of the Immortal Fortress.
It just so happened that Vladimir's manor was planted by him to prevent prying eyes, which was originally used to prevent LeBlanc and Svein from prying eyes, but was used by Jeno to turn it into a cage to cut off the transmission of information, and then induced Vladimir to send a letter to lock up all those who might hinder him from infiltrating the Immortal Fortress.
And when they realized that they had been deceived, Jeno had already made a time difference and swaggered into their house to steal it.
It wasn't a surprise to be able to fool Svein, because Svein didn't know what connection Jano had to do with the threat in the depths of the Immortal Fortress, and even the demon inside him was deliberately releasing water to prevent Svein from knowing the truth.
However, Jeno was not sure if he could trick LeBlan, who was stuck in the Immortal Fortress, so he could only design a fake death to attract the attention of the other party and increase the odds of tricking her out of the Immortal Fortress.
After a few minutes' walk in the shadow of the Immortal Fortress, the three of them walked into a narrow, unguarded darkness.
