"Click, click, click."

The sound of slow footsteps, accompanied by the sound of canes hitting the ground.

A slender figure walked slowly along the path in the village.

The black stand-up collar swayed softly in the wind, which smelled of blood.

An old man at the entrance of the village was in a different place, and in a noodle restaurant on the side, a middle-aged woman fell into a mess, and the red blood under her body had dried up, coagulated into viscous plasma and slipped on the table.

There were corpses all along the way, all of them with a single sword.

I walked all the way down the road, and finally I saw the man in a clearing.

She was kneeling with a broken mask on her face and the corpse of a girl in front of her.

LeBlanc didn't speak, just walked over quietly.

An Chen heard the voice, his eyes slightly turned to the person who was coming, and then calmly moved away and looked at the girl in front of him.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you when you come here?"

The voice has no emotion, but it contains Sen Ran's murderous intent.

LeBlanc smiled lightly: "You won't." ”

"Because we're the same kind of people."

Anchen didn't speak again, and lowered his head in silence.

"Don't you understand?" LeBlanc's smile was elegant, but for some reason there seemed to be a hint of bitterness: "We have been swept into the torrent, and it is impossible to get out." ”

"Come back."

An Chen's hand held the black knife, the handle trembled a little, she wanted to kill the person in front of her, but the will of the black knife affected her, wanting her to agree.

It craves more killing, and the battlefield fits that bill.

Eventually, she didn't speak, as if she had acquiesced.

LeBlanc looked at Anchen and seemed to sigh.

If I could, why wouldn't I want to be like you.

But this world always needs victims, these village names, those soldiers, they are. Not because of anything, just because they are weak.

If you don't want to be sacrificed, what you can do is show your worth.

"It's a troubled time, and we're going through war."

"And war is such a thing, if you can't be a winner, you can only be a victim."

It's the same for anyone in these troubled times.

"You have this desire, and you have great ability. Face yourself, you will belong to the war. ”

LeBlanc lifted Anchen up from the ground.

Anchen withdrew the dagger from its scabbard.

Have I really become one of those people? Thirsty for war, thirsty for killing.

She wanted to deny LeBlanc's words, but the restless killing intent in her heart made her unable to speak.

Whether that killing intent was black knife or her own, she couldn't tell the difference.

——————————————————————————————————

The wind in the early morning was a little different from the past, not as fresh as the mountains and forests, but with an unpleasant fishy smell.

Vladimir lay on the bed, frowning, the sun was already shining through the window.

"It's daylight." Vladimir muttered.

At this time, the woman should still be sleeping.

Forget it, let's make your own breakfast.

Thinking that Vladimir got up and got into the air, he just pouted.

With such a big fishy smell, it is estimated that the hunter next door is dealing with the prey again.

Pushing open the door of the back room, Vladimir was stunned, and the living room of the infirmary was filled with the strong smell of blood, and a corpse was lying there.

He was stunned for a few breaths before he reacted quickly, this was not the first time he had seen a dead person.

Although he didn't know why the corpse was here, he wouldn't be as frightened as ordinary people.

Walked quickly to the corpse and examined the wound. It was a very clean knife, and there was only one wound on the neck on the whole body, which was also fatal. Ruling out the possibility that the man was still alive, Vladimir began to check the man's clothing.

Halfway through, he saw the badge around the man's neck.

The coat of arms of the Noxus military.

Has Noxus been here? The woman wasn't there either·····

Realizing this, he opened the door in a panic, but the scene outside made him completely stay where he was.

————————————————————————————————————

(Vladimir didn't have a problem with being killed, because he was sick last night, and he had already fallen asleep in the back room, and Anchen was confused after his murderous intent went berserk, and he went straight out of the door, so he was not killed.) ）

"Demacia's forces have now reached the eastern part of the Tempest Plains, and if we intercept them from this direction, we will not be surprised to encounter them at the border of Acacia."

A staff officer-like man rode a horse beside LeBlanc and explained.

"How long will it take for us to reach the border station in Acacia?" LeBlanc nodded and asked.

"It's going to take another three days." The staff officer looked at the map in his hand and made his own guess: "Leader, I don't mind that we should move as soon as possible, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be precautions on the Demacian side." It's also good to get there early and prepare early. ”

"Well, tell me to go down and march as soon as possible."

"Yes."

After that day, Anchen and the members of the Black Rose marched towards what they said was Acacia.

That place, Anchen had also heard of the Forgotten Land, also known as the Land of Destruction.

The ruins of the ancient city were covered in a mist, and they were full of strange shapes, huge decaying stone statues, and they were all dark and terrifying gods. It is the creatures of the Endless Void that are worshipped. Acacia is still inhabited by people who claim to be descendants of the original builders of the Dark Lands.

Generally speaking, it is a gathering place for cult organizations, and it is better for ordinary people not to come near it.

Anchen didn't say anything in the past few days, and she didn't know what kind of mood she was in now, but she found that even for Noxus, the culprit of all this, she didn't have any more extreme emotions.

She seems to have become numb and is beginning to accept it all, to accept her fate.

Since he has become the sword spirit of the black knife, it is already impossible for him to escape, so why bother to do any more useless struggle.

The murderous sword is really worthy of its name.

Or maybe you're such a person. Isn't it, think of the people who have been dying tragically at the hands of their own knives.

Once again, the black knife conveyed that longing.

Anchen looked up at the sky and pinched the horse's belly.

I'm probably a hopeless person for a long time.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Haha, as for the question of why Anchen took medicine when he had Noxus people yesterday, here is an explanation, because Anchen himself was confused because of the influence of killing intent, and Noxus people were trying to recruit her, not to kill her, and they would not tear their faces under normal circumstances. The people of Noxus expected her to take medicine, and this place also made Anchen suspicious, but it had already been mentioned that she was confused, and if the killing intent went violent, it would cause a worse situation, so she subconsciously needed to take medicine. The drug was made by the people of Noxus and the appearance of her drug, in which case it was difficult to recognize the difference in the first place, even if she had knowledge of drugs.

Then there was the matter of Vladimir, Vladimir slept in the back room due to illness, and after Anchen went on a rampage, he killed a person and walked towards a place with more people for the first time, that is, outside, so Vladimir escaped.

Finally, don't worry, you won't let Anchen's character collapse, and she won't blacken or distort her principles. The ending of the story is bound to change as well.
