If Rhodes were here, he would have been amazed at Trist's clear judgment of the situation in Noxus - as Trist said, the current Noxus, after the return of the Black Rose, has completely solved the problem of the military aristocracy.

Now, Noxus has a complete status cycle.

Among the commoners, those who have the ability can be sent between the acres and become the nobles of military merit by making meritorious contributions to the empire.

And the desire for eternal life of the military nobles, as they grow old and degenerate, will attract them to the blood-colored roses of the Black Rose, and then be happily cut leeks - those who desire eternal life will die miserably after losing all their wealth, and of course, in the process, they will indeed live a little longer than ordinary people.

So, the position is vacated, new little people are promoted, and the next cycle begins......

Trist discovered this cycle.

"Now that you know the meaning of the Scarlet Rose." The Pale Lady's voice remained unwavering, "So, why did you choose to find me and say that you were going to kill the leader of the Scarlet Roses?" ”

"Because I know that the Scarlet Rose is out of control." Trist puffed up his chest, his face full of confidence, "Along the way, we have received many invitations from various dark corners, and these invitations are more or less directed to the Scarlet Rose - and in the whole cycle, the Scarlet Rose cannot establish its own foundation at the bottom is the most important thing!" ”

The deflated Tide of Flames had raised Trist's horizons a lot—if his first bad luck with Graves had taught him to make a careful plan, he had learned two more things since Tide.

Keep humility to the big guy (the gap in the level of strength is irreparable, and the mantis arm is death), and try to improve your horizons as much as possible.

If it was Trist before, his method should be to approach the target after changing his identity, and then infiltrate the target's side to assassinate.

But now Trist, after thinking about it a lot, gave up this method of picking chestnuts in the fire, and chose to use Noxus to help him erase a lot of trouble.

As long as you convince the pale lady in front of you, then at least until the assassination of Vladimir is completed, the safety of your own group is guaranteed!

And after the assassination is complete...... Trist had already made a plan to get out.

Facing Trist, who was full of confidence, the three pale ladies fell silent.

Finally Trist himself, who seemed not to be in a hurry at all, just leaned back in his chair and waited quietly.

……………………

In fact, none of the three pale ladies were LeBlana - they were not stand-ins, nor illusions, but puppets, human puppets under LeBlalan's control.

In the shadows that Trist couldn't perceive, Love was in control.

Truth be told, LeBlanc was impressed by Trist's suggestion.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, Noxus is still the most powerful country in Valoran, in fact, LeBlanc is very clear that Noxus has now come to a very important key point.

Successive strategic failures have pushed the vast empire of Noxus to the brink of a precipice, and Noxus has suffered a number of setbacks to the east (the Battle of Ionia), to the south (Shurima strategy), and to the north (the Freljord Temptation).

For an empire whose mission is to expand and conquer, this is completely deadly.

If it weren't for Svein's tough enough methods, and the fact that Demacia, Ionia, Shurima, and Freeljord themselves were in shambles, I'm afraid that Noxus could really collapse.

It is precisely because the situation has become tense, in order to prevent the premature collapse of Noxus, that LeBlanc chooses to return to the Trifali Council, and work with Svein to put aside his old suspicions and cooperate again - after all, Noxus is her basic territory.

Theoretically, this situation should be the time for all the people with lofty ideals in Noxus to cooperate and help each other in the same boat - for example, the Kaoke family, who were pigeon by Rhodes, chose to make a comeback to accept Svein's solicitation after waiting for news from General Du Caouk, but for his old buddy Vladimir, LeBlanc was murderous.

And the reason is not that Trist imagined "to prevent Vladimir from putting his hand out of his duty", but that LeBlanc did not want Vladimir to bring Noxus to death prematurely.

You know, before Noxus was founded, LeBlanc and Vladimir existed - LeBlanc was an important subordinate of Maud Caesar, and Vladimir inherited the mantle of a certain Darkborn.

Both were betrayers, LeBlanc betrayed Maude Caesar, and Vladimir betrayed the Darkspawn, known as the Blood Lord - and after a meeting, the two men came to some agreements, and it was at that time that the Black Rose was founded.

Black is the choice of LeBlanc and rose is the color of blood.

For the next thousand years, all of Noxus was under the control of the Black Rose - such as Svein's hapless predecessor, Darkwell, who fell into some kind of unspeakable madness because of Vladimir's control.

Remember when Darkwell used to go crazy looking for magical items?

This order comes from Vladimir, who uses immortality as a bargaining chip to find him a weapon for the Darkspawn.

At the time, LeBlanc turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, and Noxus had fallen into decline because of Vladimir's willfulness - not once or twice - but it always stood still, so LeBlanc was happy to watch Vladimir die and make a few requests when he cleaned up the mess himself.

But the Battle of Ionia was clearly different from the previous skirmishes, where the Ionian transcendents defeated the frontal army of Noxus, and the warning from Ruiz left LeBlanc in doubt - and Vladimir remained indifferent to this.

Later, LeBlanc was caught by Rhodes in an otherwise easy mission - and shortly after, Rhodes swept away the Isle of Shadows.

At this time, LeBlanc suddenly realized that it seemed that the time for the rune war was coming, and if he still rushed to death now, he would really die.

It's a pity that as LeBlanc's companion, Vladimir clearly doesn't think so - in his opinion, LeBlanc is getting less and less daring.

In Vladimir's words, "I was able to make the Darkspawn die under my own power, so what else did Valoran have to be careful with?" ”

In this case, LeBlanc finally made a judgment, and the result of the judgment was ...... This guy is crazy.
