Chapter 29: Conspiracy

"Then why did you form the Raven? The empire gives you enough power and an army. I have the most respect for General Jericho Svein. The man in black asked as he bowed slightly.

"I didn't expect this day until I came back this time to see General Darkville." Svein's hand gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.

"Did something happen to the general? It seems like I've been away from the Immortal Fortress for too long. ”

"Not really, but I think he's like a different person, and he's gone crazy and asked the army to help him find a way to live forever, including this attack on Ionia, which holds too many secrets in this magical ancient continent. However, in my opinion, this is not the best time to attack Ionia. ”

"So you set up the Raven to overthrow the Empire?" The man in black's tone was a little colder.

Svein shook his head:

"On the contrary, I am here to maintain the rule of the Empire. Although there are many troops that nominally belong to me, many of them are actually carrying out the tasks of the generals, and the soldiers are tormented by the incessant long journeys, and to be honest, our military discipline is much worse now than it was when I pacified the west. But there are many things that need to be done manually, such as the surveillance of targets in Ionia this time, and the Raven is only there to ensure our victory. ”

"Then I can rest assured, when fighting abroad, the loyalty of the senior commander of the army is the key to ensuring victory in the battle, for the sake of Noxus." The man in black stood up and saluted Svein.

"For Noxus." Svein replied solemnly, "But that's not what I'm worried about. ”

"You're not worried about the war here?"

"It's not. Do you have any news of the Pale Witch lately? Since then, it seems like you've been in charge of this investigation. ”

"No, don't you remember? Back then, you personally sent her to the gallows, and in addition to her, it included ......" The man seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

"I know, and my parents." Svein just smiled indifferently, "Since they threaten the stability of the Empire, then I have no other choice, I really can't figure out why they would want to overthrow General Darkwell." ”

"Then if one day the general he ......" the man stared into Svein's eyes.

"No, General, he wouldn't do such a thing, he loves Noxus more than anyone else." Svein waved his hand, "But what I'm concerned about is the 'Pale Witch', after all these years, she still occasionally appears in my dreams, can I pay more attention to that mysterious organization?" ”

"I think you were too worried, several core members of the organization were executed by the Imperial Court at that time, and the rest were scattered after that, and since that incident, they seem to have evaporated from the world."

"Let's hope so, they're a tricky bunch." Svein sighed and sat down on a stool to massage his eyes.

"Don't worry, I've never been negligent in this regard, and I'll let you know as soon as there's anything going on. It's just that you need to rest more, there is a soothing tea from my hometown given by the soldiers here, you can brew more when you have time. ”

After the man in black finished speaking, he placed a small paper bag on the table, Svein nodded with his eyes closed, and then waved his hand slightly, and the man bowed again and walked out of the tent.

When the man stepped out of the tent, he looked around to make sure no one noticed him, and then he walked like he was walking deep in the forest.

"Did he find out?" I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly a woman's voice sounded in the woods.

"Not really, but he seems to feel something, and he's been wondering about it in his mind." When the man heard the voice, he hurriedly lowered his head and whispered.

A slender figure walked out from behind a tree:

"It's not strange to perceive anything, and he's not a piece of waste. Especially if he hadn't felt anything wrong after meeting Darkwell this time, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today. ”

"In that case, do you want to find a chance......" The man's head lowered a little, and he made a motion to wipe his neck with his hand.

"Hahaha," the woman laughed with one hand over her mouth, "I heard you right, you actually want to assassinate the famous General Svein, you are really a little cutie." With that, he stretched out the scepter in his hand and gently lifted the man's chin.

"But I don't understand, if he is destined to be your enemy, why do you want to lift him to such a high position with your own hands?" The man looked at the dark purple eyeshadow eyes, and after just one glance, he felt as if he was about to be deeply inhaled.

"What's so incomprehensible about this, has he contributed less to the empire in recent years? We want a strong empire, not a terminally ill mess. The woman spun the scepter in her hand and said softly.

"But if it goes on like this, I'm worried that sooner or later he will ......"

"Don't be afraid, there's not much time left for him."

"But if we don't make a move, how can he be in danger!"

The woman took out her scepter and paused for a moment, "Don't forget where you are now, his worst enemy is not us. ”

"You don't really think that the Ionians can kill him, and he's not the only Noxian army here, and to be honest, I don't see the slightest chance that the rebels will win."

"Of course, so we're going to help them." The woman saw that the man in black was going to ask again, and frowned a little impatiently, "Don't ask the rest, stay here, find a way to dispel some of his suspicions if you can, and I'll let you know when I plan to do the next." ”

The man also knew that he had asked a little too much, so he quickly raised his right hand and said to the woman:

"For the Black Rose."

The woman nodded in satisfaction, then with a "poof" and disappeared in front of the man.

……

In Hope City, Ling Tianmao pushed open the door of Old Layton's house and walked in exhausted.

Old Layton quickly got up and made a stool for him, and helped him to sit down.

"Mr. Dahl, what did you do, did you fall?"

"Harm, don't talk about it, it's all the guys. You guys here are exaggerating, I went around three or four times outside before I got a chance to run back. ”

It turned out that after the end of the Wing Music Festival today, Ling Tianmao was surrounded by people, and Old Leiden saw that there were too many people, so he could only take his family back to the house first. And Ling Tianmao went back and forth outside for several circles before he could barely get rid of the people who followed him.
