Chapter 896: Yin and Yang

The birth and development of Noxus has always been a mess.

As the main body and core of the empire, the Immortal Fortress was originally the territory of Mordecaesar - after LeBlanc accepted Mordecaesar's magic of immortality, he betrayed his former master, lured the barbarians into the Immortal Fortress and killed Mordekaiser.

The first expansion of Noxus came from Vladimir, who succeeded in doubling the territory of Noxus.

After that, Noxus embarked on a path of constant expansion.

While it can be said that LeBlanc and Vladimir joined hands to create this vast empire, for the two men, Noxus meant completely different things.

For LeBlanc, who has seen rune wars, Noxus is the shell of the golden cicada, in order to avoid the terrible rune wars - LeBlan, who can live forever, is not afraid of aging, she is only afraid of being killed.

But for Vladimir, Noxus is his tool to realize his ambitions, and unlike the means of immortality that LeBlanc mastered, Vladimir's "immortality" is more low-end, although his body does not age, but his soul will have problems.

Vladimir needed a way to preserve his soul - similar to Rod's original idea, Vladimir chose to use the vast state apparatus of Noxus to find a magic item for himself to sustain his soul.

Over the past millennium, it seems that Vladimir and LeBlanc have worked together perfectly, but at this critical juncture, the rift between them is already very obvious.

Vladimir is trying his best to fish, while LeBlanc wants Noxus to at least survive the rune war and block himself.

Although LeBlanc had described the horror of the Rune War to Vladimir many times before, Vladimir didn't believe a word about LeBlan's description - Vladimir had already existed during the Rune War, and he also took this opportunity to betray and murder his Darkspawn master, doesn't this seem like nothing?

So, the two drifted apart.

Now, when LeBlanc put down his body and started running for Noxus, Vladimir simply stood in the foreground willfully, which made LeBlanc murderous towards him.

LeBlanc experienced a rune war and learned a few things about the rune wars from Maudecaesar - the fall of the gods in the last rune war, and the Darkspawn were sealed in that terrible war, or simply ended; The last time was the decline of magic, and the mage kingdom collapsed due to the misuse of runic energy; Last time, it should have something to do with the discovery of the law of runes and the appearance of Ionia?

With a long history and a fault line in civilization, LeBlanc could only determine that there had been at least five rune wars, and the last three had been separated by a thousand years.

And now that the millennium has arrived, LeBlanc can't guarantee when and how this rune war will break out - that's why she acquiesces to Rhodes' strategy to stop Svein's Shurima, which in LeBlanc's eyes is a powder keg, and it is easy to kill if you go up and kick it at this time.

Not long ago, news of the rebels came from Demacia - something different for LeBlanc, and if she could, she wouldn't mind that the theme of this rune war was "magical revival".

Then, just as LeBlanc and Svein were standing together, trying to infiltrate Demacia and fuel the fire, Vladimir appeared in Noxus politics in a high-profile manner, and began to use immortality as a gimmick, openly buying off a large number of subordinates, and claiming to find more magic items in order to seek eternal life......

This is not a pig teammate, what is a pig teammate?

If he could, LeBlanc really wanted to be able to take out Vladimir in a small area, so that as long as the battle of Demacia burned, LeBlanc could hide and avoid this rune war!

And then another thousand years!

Compared to avoiding this rune war, his old teammates are worthless!

Although he was already inclined to kill Vladimir, LeBlanc did not agree to Trist at the first time.

Not to hang Triste, but ...... LeBlanc needs to deal with the people around him who know about it a little bit first.

……………………

Soon, everyone who learned about the meeting was dealt with, and after confirming Trist's identity (mainly confirming that it was not Vladimir fishing law enforcement), LeBlanc directly disposed of his own puppet, and then changed the corpse to claim that the rash intruders had been killed.

At the same time, in the future, the assassination operation will be smoother, and LeBlanc will also clear the identity of Trist and his party.

Transformed into a descendant of a declining aristocracy from the Black Forest, Trist is a mixed bag of Pioneer Bills anyway, as long as he finds a family that has disappeared to make a name for him.

In this way, Trist's new identity becomes the lucky one to awaken the power of runes, and then in a fantasy adventure, he goes to the legendary city of Bandel and meets three friends.

(People don't know where Bandel City is, anyway.) )

As for Graves...... After correcting the guy's Bilgewater accent, LeBlanc put him in the role of a servant's part-time bodyguard.

Judging by the block, it's pretty much the same.

For LeBlanc, it would be great if these five men were able to take out Vladimir – she was confident that she would work with Svein to ensure that Noxus would not be upset by it.

As a mage who is not very powerful and only relies on immortality, the most LeBlanc can rely on is his own scheming!

In this way, it took Trist more than half a year to get the official qualification to walk in the Immortal Fortress, and even then the Battle of Freljord was over......

Rhodes has always focused on the battlefield and hasn't paid much attention to the situation in Noxus, but judging from the fact that Svein is not in a hurry to find trouble for himself this time, Trist and his party seem to have a bit of an impact?

After all, in Rhodes's opinion, as long as Noxus doesn't take advantage of the Freljord civil war to find trouble, then his idle move can be considered useful.

It's a pity that it's different from what Rhodes thought, because of the policy contraction caused by LeBlanc's influence, when Freljord went to war, Noxus didn't plan to intervene, and what Trist did during the war was not to make trouble for Noxus, but to follow the people of the Black Rose to learn how to become a nobleman......

And when Rhodes had both children and daughters, Trist finally appeared for the first time at a side banquet of the Vladimir Blood Rose Order.
