"Everyone, get ready, rest in place."

It was already evening, and this time was not suitable for further marching.

The adjutant beside LeBlanc waved his hand, and the members of the Black Rose stopped, without saying much, turned over and dismounted and began to prepare the tent and dinner.

This group was the same as the Noxus soldiers Anchen had seen at the beginning.

Orders were carried out almost absolutely, and it should be said that the soldiers of Orthodox Noxus were all so.

Reason, command first, task above all else.

Black Rose is the name of their organization, which Anchen just knew.

She had never heard of the team, and according to LeBlanc, they were the underground intelligence network of Noxus.

Responsible for the reception and transmission of intelligence throughout the battle.

There are not many people they bring, about only about a hundred, and the average rune power is above level four, which is a very elite force.

Because of the small number of people, the speed of the march was fast, and if it continued at this rate, it should not take three days to reach the border of Acacia.

But then again, to support Ionia through a place like Acacia's pyramid scheme den, Debang is probably a little powerless.

After all, Ionia is an island, and Demacia must pass through the coast of the sea if it wants to go to its aid.

But several seaside cities are Pirwaterf, Zaun, Noxus.

This is very interesting, Leather City is a neutral city, if Demacia keeps going from them to support, Leather City will inevitably be pulled into the water, so he has been politely refusing.

Don't talk about Zuan and Noxus, as hostile cities, how can they be allowed to go.

So in desperation, I can only take the mountain road of Acacia, a ghost place that doesn't even have a dock.

The campfire was soon lit.

The food of the army was difficult to eat, so I boiled a pot of hot water, and then broke the dry food of the army and threw it in.

It was made into a pot of something similar to paste, even if it was dinner in the evening.

Because it was a rapid march, they didn't even bring basic canned food except for the military rations they carried.

The Noxians didn't even make a sound to eat, and no one said anything superfluous.

Only a few swallowing sounds could be heard occasionally, which was the only explanation they had for eating.

An Chen was sitting not far from the army, and LeBlanc had already returned her medicine to her, after all, with her current mental strength, it was impossible to suppress the killing intent by herself.

She took Zelas's notes from her bosom and flipped through them, which had almost become a habit for her.

In this era when entertainment items are scarce, reading books is already a good pastime.

Thankfully, the book remained in her arms and was not lost.

"Eat some. Although it really doesn't taste good. A voice came.

Anchen looked up and saw that LeBlanc was already sitting beside him, holding two bowls of unknown viscous liquid in his hands.

I took the bowl and looked at the earthy yellow slime inside.

Anchen raised his eyebrows: "You eat this every day?" ”

"What do you think?" LeBlanc rolled her eyes: "What else do you want to eat during the march?" You also joined the army, don't you know this? ”

An Chen looked away and said leisurely: "We at least had canned food and fish soup at that time. ”

“···” LeBlanc was silent for a while with a dark face, was he complaining that the treatment was not good enough.

Thinking back to the troops that Anchen was serving in at that time, he smiled without smiling.

"I forgot, you were in Ruiwen's army at the time, and your treatment was one of the best in the whole army. Plus the ambiguous relationship between you and Rui Wen······ It's also normal. ”

"Unclear ·····"

Because it was far away from the campfire, the light was not very good, and LeBlanc couldn't tell whether Anchen's face was black or red.

But as the head of the intelligence officer, he just heard something strange from Anchen's changed tone.

Hooking the corners of her mouth, she continued to say in a weird manner: "I heard Carter say, she said that at that time, Rui Wen often opened a small stove for you, and even allowed you to bathe in the barracks with drinking water." It's extravagant. ”

“···”

"Okay, let's stop talking." LeBlanc stopped the topic knowing the depths: "I'm treated like this here, this thing is not delicious but it is full, do you like to eat it or not." ”

The corners of An Chen's mouth twitched.

I picked up the bowl and put it to my mouth and took a sip, it definitely didn't taste good, like cardboard that had been blistered.

LeBlanc looked at her, laughed and took a sip, she was used to this thing, she could do it without changing her face.

Although it is powerful, it is still just a child after all.

Looking at Anchen, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, LeBlanc shook her head slightly, originally worried that she would have some radical behavior because of what happened before.

Now it seems that she is much more rational than she thought.

It is indeed difficult for people to think that the girl in front of her will be a person who can influence a battle.

Just at this age, there are already cases where killing too many people leads to the erosion of killing intent······ If you can't understand the erosion of killing intent, you can understand it in another way - homicidal addiction.

In LeBlanc's eyes, Anchen is in such a situation. Long-term killings lead to mental distortions, making the act a habit and even an addiction. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of mental illness.

(In fact, Anchen does not have this problem, but the situation caused by the influence of the black knife is similar to the symptoms of this psychosis.) ）

In fact, this situation did not occur once or twice in the army, and most of those people ended up becoming crazy.

It's just that age generally appears in single middle-aged people, and at an age like Anchen, LeBlanc is also seeing it for the first time.

I heard that she joined the army after being captured by Riven about a year ago.

It's hard to imagine what she's been through this year, obviously, I'm afraid it's all some inhuman experiences.

Originally, she was out of the war, and she only needed to suppress her killing intent for a few years, and this disease was likely to be cured.

But she once again induced her killing intent through Tu Cun and made her rejoin the war.

LeBlanc knew that what she was doing was cruel, sacrificing hundreds of people for the sake of the purpose, and even somewhat dehumanizing, but if she couldn't complete the mission, she would be the next victim.

She didn't want to be a victim of war, so she had to be the cruel one.

As for me, I'm such a selfish person, isn't it? Love smiled weakly, not knowing what emotion was in it.

After eating that unknown "dinner".

LeBlanc and Anchen never spoke again, LeBlanc was not the kind of person who liked to chat, and after dinner, he looked at a map, which seemed to be calculating the location of Demacia's army.

Anchen was not interested in chatting, and looked at his book quietly.

In the silence of the night, only the occasional sound of flipping a book remained.

At the speed of 6,000 men, Quinn's team should be slower than ours, and it should be in time.

But you need to travel faster, arrive early, and you can be ready as soon as possible. The force of 6,000 men is not said to be dragged out.

LeBlanc secretly made a plan, and then put away the map in his hand.

looked up, only to find that Anchen was still reading the book that looked like some years.

"What have you been looking at since the beginning?"

Anchen's gaze glanced at her, and then moved back to the book.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to ask about other people's things?"

Joining Noxus for the time being is not a good indication of what she will like about this woman, at least for now, it is still negative.

LeBlanc tugged at his mouth: "Forget it, I'll go rest first." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Anchen's thin clothes, took off the cloak on his body and threw it on her: "You should rest early, don't catch a cold when the wind is strong at night." ”

LeBlanc was about to leave, but Anchen's voice came from behind him.

"That."

"I'm a heroic rune that won't catch a cold, and."

An Chen took the cloak in his hand and said embarrassedly: "It's summer." ”

LeBlanc, who rarely wanted to show his concern for his colleagues, almost fell to the ground with a heel and turned his head with a gloomy face.

"Has anyone ever said you're not good at chatting?"

“··· Let's just tell the truth. ”

took back his cloak and snatched it from Anchen's hand and put it on his body again.

inadvertently glanced at the book in Anchen's hand.

The construction of runes······

Then the corners of his mouth twitched, what a shameful remark.

As a thirteenth-level rune mana, she thought that her understanding of runes was far beyond ordinary people, but she didn't dare to say that she could describe the structure of runes in detail, let alone analyze them.

Runes are very conceptual beings, how can they be explained so easily.

This kind of remarks can be published in a book, which is really misleading.

"Anchen, lend me the book in your hand." With a critical attitude, LeBlanc reached out and was ready to ask Anchen to borrow it.

Who the hell would dare to write such a thing.

"Well..." An Chen's expression was obviously a little reluctant, but he looked at LeBlan's appearance.

After hesitating, he handed the book to her.

"You can't trust all the things in the book, there are a lot of swaggering people who can also publish books, you are a rune force, and it is understandable that your understanding of runes is flawed, but you can't read all books. It's like this ······"

LeBlanc was about to give examples of the book's mistakes, but his voice became softer and softer when his eyes fell on the book's contents.

In the end, she stopped talking at all, but looked at the book in her hand with great attention.

That's right, even she couldn't find any mistakes in the points introduced in the book, and every guess was so reasonable.

There is even a very special and innovative explanation of the introduction of runes inside.

Before I knew it, LeBlanc had been watching it for about half an hour.

The bonfires not far away had been extinguished, and the members of the Black Rose had already gone to sleep, leaving only Anchen sitting next to LeBlanc as if he had settled down.

An Chen said loudly: "I'll go to sleep first." ”

LeBlanc didn't reply, her gaze was feverishly returning to the first page, apparently ready to read it from the beginning.

···

Seeing that LeBlanc ignored her, Anchen stretched his waist and walked to the side to find a comfortable place to lie down.

Looking up, there were few clouds in the night sky, but not many stars.

Anchen squinted his eyes, I, what the hell are you thinking...

Because she is the sword spirit of the killing sword, her own will and the will of the killing sword are mixed, and she can't tell what she thinks.

That's it, that's it, I'm tired.

Thinking about it, Anchen closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up the next day before dawn.

Anchen tidied up her hair, this was the umpteenth time she felt that her long hair was in the way, and she already felt that it was time to go under the knife if necessary.

Usually, I can sleep until noon, but when it comes to the time of the mission, I will always wake up before dawn.

He shook his dazed head and sat up cross-legged.

Storm Plains has a good view and can see the skyline at a glance.

The sun had just risen from the sky, and the light penetrated into the clouds, which was somewhat dazzling.

An Chen sat in the opposite direction of the sun for a while, and then sat and sorted out his equipment.
