Chapter 948: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Rod's plan is interesting.
The Void Black Hand intends to take this opportunity to cause a war between Demacia and Noxus, and also take the opportunity to eliminate Demacia's willingness to return to Valoran, if the plan is successful, Demacia will not only have a big battle with Noxus, and his vitality will be greatly damaged, but once the Void appears somewhere, the Demacians will not be willing to help.
And on the side of Noxus, although Svein is unwilling to fight, as long as the war has begun, Svein cannot stop it, so he can only fight hard-Noxus military merits are precious, and Svein came to power because he represents the power of the new aristocracy of military merit, if he stops when this kind of war is known, it will not be far from stepping down.
Rod had a bad relationship with Noxus, and he didn't have a good relationship with Demacia, so it was theoretically difficult for him to influence the whole project.
But don't forget, in the heart of Noxus, there is also a shadow that Rhodes has been laying out for a long time.
Trist has become the upstart of Noxus, and if Vladimir hadn't been overshadowed by Svein once and his vigilance had been greatly increased, he would have died in Vega's assassination by now.
And now, as long as Vega's assassination comes in time...... Then there is still room for the whole situation to turn around!
Rod and Vladimir are naturally uncomplaining, although this thing is bloody and evil, but Valoran has a lot of evil things, and Rhodes is basically out of sight and out of mind - now it's different, seeing that Demacia is going to fight with Noxus, Rhodes can only borrow Vladimir's head.
As long as Vladimir is finished and there are a large number of vacancies in Noxus, then there is still the possibility of negotiations in the war!
Considering that he didn't know when Trist's assassination would be completed, Rhodes planned to take it upon himself this time.
The distance from Demacia to the Immortal Citadel of Noxus was a bit far—because there was no teleportation circle in place, Rhodes had to turn to Reze for help.
……………………
"You want me to take you to Noxus?" Hearing Rod's request, Ruiz was obviously a little surprised, "Have you forgotten that our agreement on Demacia has not been completed, and my deposit has already been paid." ”
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Rhodes was also a little helpless, "But now things are not as simple as the Demacian Revolutionary Army, Gavin III died, and Noxus sent out the army - but by all indications, the attack of the Noxians is not the meaning of the Immortal Fortress, but someone wants to see Demacia and Noxus start a war, I can't sit back and watch the war break out, right?" ”
"War ......" Ruiz touched his beard, "War is terrible, but compared to the safety of those runestones, war is a piece of cake - you know what I mean?" ”
"Understood." Rhodes had no problem with Ruiz's insistence, "I know that there is no room for loss on the rune stone's side, so I will let Cana keep an eye on it with you, and I must go to Noxus to stop this war!" ”
“……”
Ruiz was silent, as if calculating something, and after a long time he finally nodded and agreed.
……………………
Without Fiona, Rhodes and Jax, with the help of Reze, leave Demacia, the two of them set foot on the land of Noxus after a spatial warp.
"This is north of the Immortal Fortress." Stepping out of the arcane leap portal, Ryze stretched out his hand and pointed to the towering fortress in the distance, "That's your point, because of the special nature of Noxtola, it's not convenient for me to take you directly in - I'm sure this question won't stop you." ”
"No problem." Rhodes nodded, "You go back and keep an eye on it, and the runestone veins can't afford to be lost." ”
Ruiz hesitated, but finally handed Rhodes a scroll.
"Open the reel when you're done, and I'll be here."
With that, Ruiz turned and returned to the portal—his figure vanishing once again with a distortion of space.
"Clever spells." Looking at the vanished Ruiz, Jax's tone was full of admiration, "Even in Acacia's most glorious time, no astral sorcerer can use the power of space like this...... High degree of professional proficiency. ”
"After all, it's the guardian of the runes." Rhodes said as he pulled out a silver card, "Come, let's see if the people here are ready to take ......"
With a snap of Rhodes' fingers, the silver ghost (the legendary little king) was reduced to ashes in the arcane flames, and the energy belonging to Trist in the card was extracted, forming an unstable spatial anchor in place.
Then, there was another spatial distortion, and an embarrassed figure appeared at the position of the spatial anchor.
Unlike Ryze's ease of opening doors and traversing space, this new guy is almost "squeezed out" of space.
It was none other than Trist.
Trist's gorgeous outfit is now scattered, his hat is gone, his shoes are gone, and even the dragon leather jacket on his body has been cut out by space - compared to Ryz's near-control understanding of space, Trist still has a lot to learn.
Seeing this scene, Rhodes even began to wonder for a moment whether Trist's teleportation without being torn to pieces by space was related to his Lady Luck faith......
On the other side, although embarrassed, Mr. Trist, who was thick-skinned enough, was not embarrassed at all, he quickly kicked on his boots, put on his hat, and walked quickly to Rod.
"It seems...... Vega has made you so rewarding? Looking at Trist in front of him, Rod had a subtle hint in his tone, "I hope you haven't lost yourself in the nobility heap - your skills make me doubt it." ”
"Of course not." Trist looked a little nervous, "I've been preparing for the assassination, but that Mr. Vladimir seems to have been assassinated before, and has always been cautious, and although I have the qualifications, I can't bring Vega with me - so the assassination has never been completed." ”
And without Vega, Trist did not dare to make a move against Vladimir.
"Understandable." Facing the nervous Trist, Rod didn't look the slightest bit dissatisfied, "That's why I'm here." ”
"You?"
"I'll teach you what a real assassination is."
“?”
"Assassination is when no one sees it—and the dead are never human, you know?"
Hearing Rod say this, Trist finally froze in place.
This...... This is different from what I imagined!
