LeBlanc was in a state of severe weakness under the effect of the Holy Silver Elixir.

As it turned out, Vayne, who was killed in seconds, was not a reflection of her true strength - when prepared, Vayne could show good combat power even in the face of powerful spellcasters.

Coupled with the subconscious relaxation after defeating the enemy, LeBlanc rarely has a little slack.

It was such a loss of laxity that allowed Rod to seize the opportunity.

Of course, LeBlanc didn't give up, and as soon as he was covered by Rod's mouth, LeBlanc tried to activate the Lost Step out of control.

But how could Rod, who had been prepared for a long time, give her this opportunity?

Spell Counter!

Although Rhodes does not know Valoran's runic magic, he still has a countermeasure to casting spells - arcane turmoil destroys all inherent order, and runic magic is included.

LeBlanc's Lost Trail unsurprisingly failed.

The spell exchange is over, and it's time for hand-to-hand combat - and in this session, Rhodes has the advantage of crushing.

Although Rod is relatively thin, he is definitely powerful compared to LeBlanc - when LeBlanc still wants to struggle, Rod slashes her neck with a precise hand knife......

The force was not light or heavy, and poor LeBlanc rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

If it weren't for Rod's help, it would be a standard street-fighting posture.

"Now it's time to deal with the battlefield......"

Rod touched his chin, obviously neither Wayne nor LeBlanc himself could let go now.

It was also unrealistic, partly because it didn't make sense, and partly because Rhodes didn't think it would be a long time before he could find out.

It's okay for a lone ranger like Wayne to say, if an important person like LeBlanc disappears and then proves that he died at his own hands, wouldn't Black Rose go crazy?

If you do it to a character of this level, you will have a mortal enemy!

The most important thing is that it is Draven who Rhodes wants to use as bait - once Draven disappears, the Noxian Hand is likely to lose his mind and do some irrational actions, such as completely intervening in Zaun's war.

But if Rhodes really killed Draven, that Noxian hand would definitely come over with the Noxian fleet and destroy Zuan in a minute!

Zaun couldn't confront Noxus head-on.

Rhodes was well aware that even if Zaun did rise to prominence, it would be difficult for the city to become a Noxus-like empire by annexing the city-state.

And the way of self-protection of a city is destined not to be "no one can beat me", but "the gain of beating me outweighs the loss".

Now, the show is finally on.

The flaming shackles bound LeBlanc and Wayne before Rhodes led them back to his tavern.

It's a hassle to keep an eye on these two guys.

Thankfully, LeBlanc was weak enough for now - the quick-witted Rhodes gave LeBlanc a few blows with Vayne's holy silver arrows, and then tied the sorcering queen into a thick knot.

Hawkers, I haven't studied tortoiseshells or anything, LeBlanc's figure, it's a pity.

As for Wayne - against non-spellcasters, Rhodes has a solution.

Just as Wayne was about to say something, Rhodes raised his hand and sealed her in the ice.

Of course, Wayne's arrows and holy silver potions, Rhodes took them all.

As for what Wayne wanted to say, Rhodes didn't care - if there was anything, he would talk about it when he came back!

With the captives dealt with, Rhodes teleported back to their temporary Noxian station.

……………………

It was already three o'clock in the morning.

Throughout the camp, the snoring was as loud as ever.

Rod rather calmly began to look for Draven.

Without LeBlan, the whole camp was defenseless to Rhodes, and you couldn't expect the patrolling soldiers to spot Rhodes - they were hardworking, but when a mage was shameless and stealthy himself, they were often more obscene than the thieves.

Rod needs to find Draedne and then pretend that Wayne has captured him.

Anyway, Vayne's stuff was in Rhodes' possession - arrows, potions, even pieces of clothes and pants. (Rod swears that he ripped it off not to take advantage, but to fake the scene!) Swear by the lamp! ）

Originally, Rod was still worried about the lack of time, but Draven did not disappoint him at all.

In the house where the snoring was loudest, Rhodes found Draven......

It's obviously a single room, but the snoring is louder than that of ten people in the world - looking at this regular dancing mustache, Rod's only feeling is that this cargo has not been killed when he is so old, and his brother has also worked hard.

Shaking his head, Rod didn't think about the mess, but decisively tied up the sleeping Draven directly - in order to prevent this guy from making a sound, Rod stuffed the socks on his pillow into his mouth.

Seeing that Draven began to roll his eyes, Rod did not feel guilty about faking the crime scene and brought the goods back to his tavern.

Oh, and at the same time Tamara, who was brought back without a fight.

The latest news from the Piltover Morning Post.

A private business delegation from Noxus was attacked by unknown persons in the early hours of last night, and the head of the delegation, Mr. Delevingne, was missing, and according to the scene investigation by Sheriff Miss Catherine, it was preliminarily judged that Mr. Delevingne had resisted.

Members of the Radical Delegation described that due to some personal reasons, Mr. Draven had always preferred to live alone, so no one heard the sound, but there were many traces of the battle left on the scene, and the magic alarm in the entire delegation's residence was completely destroyed.

The case has been tentatively named the disappearance of the Noxus business team, and this newspaper will continue to follow the subsequent development of the incident......

In the basement, Rod, who was reading the latest issue of the newspaper with his legs crossed, looked up and looked at his three captives with satisfaction.

(Tamara this...... In Rod's opinion, he was not even a prisoner. ）

An unconscious Draven, a frail LeBlanc, and a frozen Wayne – what, in a hurry, do you always feel as if you have forgotten something?

After thinking about it for a long time, Rod realized that Vayne seemed to have something to say to him yesterday......

About the Holy Silver: The main reason why Demacia was able to establish it in the first place was due to the instinctive fear of the non-caster of the spell, and in this case, the Demacians studied a lot of methods against the mage.

For example, the borders are covered with forbidden magic stones, and there is also a reporting system for spellcasters, and things like Holy Silver were also developed by Demacia.

Unlike large forbidden stones, the Holy Silver itself cannot isolate magic, but it can affect the caster's ability to cast spells and destroy runic magic by means of a near-short circuit.

To put it more intuitively, let's look at the Demacian silence technique - someone who likes to squat in the grass will be quiet for 1.5 seconds when he comes down with a sword.
