Chapter 248: Black Rose (Noxus Chapter)

Noxus is a martial empire, and the country also has an unrivaled charisma, attracting more and more outlaws and war maniacs to fight for a real battle.

But Noxus is also a country that is seriously misunderstood by people, Sister Noxus is by no means as ignorant as it seems, and the power and precipitation he hides are unimaginable to most people.

Every city has a side that you don't know about, just as everyone has a side that no one else knows. Noxus is such a place that people love and hate.

Deep in the dark streets, dungeons resemble beehives everywhere. The winding streets continue down the center of the dungeon, which has become a refuge from all the evils of the world.

Countless fanatics, evil witches, and secret societies call this labyrinth home. LeBlanc is the leader of the Dark, a legacy of an unspeakable period in Noxus' history.

LeBlanc and her gang were the backbone of Noxus politics until the nascent military government came to power.

During that time, these powerful magicians used frequent secret gatherings to advance their plots and refine their spells. Their spells gradually surpassed those of the current rulers.

Although the exact motive has not been known, it is widely believed that during the reign of the aristocracy, Dark was the real ruler behind the throne.

When primitive force became the ultimate power to control the empire, darkness seemed to disappear without a trace overnight. Many people believe that their time has passed, and they have given up on the pursuit of power.

However, when LeBlanc reappears in front of the gates of the War Academy, it dawns on the people that these masters of manipulating shadow and fire have clearly marked their prices, waiting for a new League of Legends to rise.

As the leader of the Black Rose, LeBlanc's identity is as elusive as the rumors about her, as fleeting as the illusion that gave her form. Perhaps even she doesn't know who she is, after all, she has been imitated and deceived for hundreds of years......

The founders of the Black Rose were the remnants of an ancient Order that was far older than Noxus, and the later Black Rose had been secretly plotting to manipulate it for hundreds of years, attracting the elite to join them.

While few of the members of the Black Rose have been able to learn the origin of their leader, many have unearthed a legend about a Pale Witch.

She is said to have helped the disintegrating barbarian tribe fight against the infamous Iron-Armored Wraith, who made the land even more devastated by the Darkspawn. To this day, people are afraid to say his name out loud: Maudecaesar.

He was once one of the core members of the Iron Armor Wraith's side, possessing unique skills and planting the seeds of betrayal against him. The sorceress made a vow to dissolve the source of his power, the Fortress of Immortality.

Cut him off from the well of death, and thus drain the nightmarish empire from the bottom of the cauldron. However, although later that group of barbarians established their empire around the fortress.

But they don't realize that the mysteries it contains are not completely isolated from the world. The Pale Witch had always had a talent for illusion-making.

And her greatest trick is to make the whole of Noxus forget, and there is a dark force surging in its own center. Later, all accounts of her disappeared into history during the Rune Wars.

The purpose of the Black Rose's current existence is to capture the ulterior interests of those who have the power to wield this magic, while also hiding itself from the everyday identities of ordinary nobles.

These people were attracted by rumors of miracles, and then they were enslaved and ruthlessly used. Even the most powerful military commanders can only serve the real rulers of this secret society, and not within them.

The rulers will fight each other for power, in a game of intrigue and conquest, both within the capital of Noxus and beyond the frontiers.

For hundreds of years, LeBlanc has secretly advised dignitaries from abroad, appearing in many countries at the same time, using her visions to disrupt order and create chaos.

There are rumors that a woman will be promoted to the new leader in each generation, but this answer only raises more questions about which is the "real" deity.

When she speaks, is it really her own voice? What price does it take to get her favor in exchange?

Bron-Darkwell can answer the second question. Although Black Rose helped him win the throne, he refused to include Black Rose's hand-picked advisors into the council, so LeBlanc took the necessary extreme measures.

She manipulated a young nobleman, Jericho Svein, into discovering the affairs of this secret society, and LeBlanc had himself and several other most important conspirators executed...

At least on the surface, she was put to death. It didn't take long for her to come into contact with Darkwell personally, only to find that he was becoming increasingly paranoid and panicked, fearing his fate as a mortal.

LeBlanc promised him the secret of immortality, and she began to slowly poison Darkwell's mind while giving him great powers.

Under his rule, Noxus' cult of power reached an ominous level, and they then designed the saga of Svein to end in disgrace on the battlefields of Ionia.

But Svein, who gained courage from the forbidden knowledge inside the Immortal Citadel, did something completely unexpected, successfully pulling Darkwell from the throne and taking Noxus for himself.

The new general didn't care about his reputation in the eyes of the world, only about the glory of the empire - such a person could hardly be corrupted. Countless centuries later, LeBlanc couldn't help but ask herself, had her nemesis finally appeared?

Her actions have repeatedly pushed Runeterrae to the brink of all-out war. After a desperate battle, the ice fields of Freljord, the mountains of Titan, and the deserts of Shurima began to spread the darkest magic again, gradually surrounding and closing in on Noxus.

Maybe LeBlanc was still the Pale Witch who betrayed the Iron Wraith Spirit, or maybe she was just one of many shell apparitions.

Either way, her influence apparently has never died since time immemorial.
