Chapter 1318: A Carefully Woven Trap
Is Hill a spy?
Yes.
In fact, as a Noxian war craftsman, Hill himself belongs to the kind of person who is articulate and logical, which is why he was chosen as a best-selling author, taking a special passage into Piltover.
With the help of the gunslingers ghostwritten by the Noxus Intelligence System, Hill's books quickly became popular throughout Piltover - and all he had to do was read through the book before everyone else, and then diverge appropriately.
Rhodes was right, in fact, the main content of Hill's book came from the internal intelligence of the war craftsmen - human geography, plus some anecdotes, through the assembly line adaptation of a large number of gunners, it became a bestseller.
On weekdays, all Hill has to do is go in and out of Piltover's upper class, gather all the information, and send it back to Noxus.
Hill spends nearly half of the year traveling around - although he claims to be researching, in reality, he spends most of his time returning to Noxus, both to hand in the intel he has gathered and to obtain new manuscripts.
In this way, Hill spent six full years in Piltover, and soon went from a humble home to a well-known bestseller......
As for this operation, it was also a trap for the Noxians.
Hill once published an Ionian travelogue that, like the others, was based on material from the inside of the War Craftsmen - but due to some carelessness, the level of intelligence in this book was a bit higher.
In other words, as a best-selling travelogue book, this book is a bit too professional.
So, before the publication, Hill casually added some innocuous anecdotes to the book, which on the one hand increased the interest and on the other hand, it also reduced the degree of attention of the book.
And about the port of Barouo, that's what Hill added - it's an out-and-out mustache, written by Hill's hand.
Hill had almost forgotten about it, but not long ago, Hill had learned by chance that Piltover had made a special diplomatic move - although he had not been able to find out about diplomacy due to strict secrecy, it was certain that the diplomatic itinerary was in the near future.
Hill and his colleagues went through all the intellect and finally turned their attention to the cruise ship, which they had calculated and found that the time was just right for diplomacy in the city.
So, Hill immediately made a decision, on the one hand, he sent someone to activate emergency contact and asked Noxus to intercept it; On the other hand, I bought a ticket through the identity of a best-selling author and quietly came to the ship.
In fact, although the Noxian navy acted with great fanfare and seemed to know everything about secret diplomacy, in reality, they were simply blind - they did not know who the envoy was or why they were sending it, but because they received information that there was something important to intercept, they intercepted.
And Ciel's side, after successfully boarding the ship, quickly used the secret whistle to release the news that the Noxians had targeted the mission - so, while Rod was taking the sheep, Orianna received the news that they were being targeted by the Noxians......
So, the snake was brought out of the hole.
The Noxians failed to intercept it with great fanfare, and Oriana naturally thought that she would be blocked in the city, and just when she was anxious, Hill appeared like a great savior - under Hill's interesting approach and untraced hints, Orianna quickly realized that he also knew of a port that no one knew about!
So, Oriana tested Hill, but Hill stopped smiling and faced all of Oriana's temptations with ease, and was finally pulled by Oriana into the envoyship.
In fact, if it weren't for Oriana's own flaws exposed in a hurry, Hill, who didn't have the core information, would have had nothing to do in the end - even if the Noxian warship stopped the cruise ship outside of the city, they wouldn't have gained anything.
After all...... The Noxus military doesn't even know what the target is!
However, it was under Hill's careful design and planning that Noxus's strong performance turned "I know you have activities" into "I know all your thoughts", and finally bluffed Orianna into going to the doctor, and finally fell into Ciel's trap.
If you let the lifeboat go down again, the end will be a diving beach area that is easy to run aground, and no one on the lifeboat can escape, and the Noxians, who control the local hydrological environment, can easily catch turtles in the urn!
It's a pity that because of Rod's appearance and suspicion, Hill finally revealed his flaws.
……………………
Noticing the change in Oriana's gaze, Ciel finally panicked this time.
It's over......
At this moment, Hill saw very clearly that there was a lot of evidence that Rhodes could come up with to prove his identity, and it was very credible - especially the identity of the Night Raven Changer, which itself could prove a lot.
You must know that there are many Varolan changers, but the vast majority of them are due to their Vastaya blood.
And because of the Battle of Ionia, Vastaya is known to more and more people, and the general perception of Vastayans is that they are a special race of people living in Ionia. ”
As for Transfiguration or something...... In addition to the magical spells of the legendary yodelers, I am afraid that only mortals who have received terrifying powers possess the Darkspawn and Demon Transfigurations - and the Night Ravens are neither.
So, even Hill already believed in Rod's identity.
In Ciel's opinion, although it was difficult for Rhodes to prove that he had indeed participated in the Infinite Sword Sect's leading action before the Battle of Presidium, just by virtue of his identity as a shapeshifter, he was countless times more credible than himself!
After all...... Hill really can't prove everything he said, and even because that paragraph was made up later, Hill doesn't have a photo of Hex as evidence!
It's over!
Seeing that everyone around him had already reacted, Hill also understood that it was difficult to convince everyone just by relying on the power of words at this time, at this moment, whether it was useful or not, he had to come up with some evidence!
Like what...... Proof of audit by the publishing house!
Thinking like this, Hill took out a series of certificates stamped with the official seal in the Hex's body transformation box on his back.
"Why should I lie to you?" Hill's tone was full of grievances and shouted, "Look, this is proof of the review of the contributing editors of Leather City Today, and they verified every place I visited!" ”
