Chapter 29: Friendship

"Prince, are you alright?"

As soon as he took a step out of the hall, Zhao Xin immediately supported Xiu, at this time his face had become a little pale, Zhao Xin knew very well that this was not a lack of cultivation power, but a manifestation of physical exhaustion.

"Sorry...... The power of the bloodline is overused, so I need to find a hotel to stay in first, I need to have a good night's rest. ”

Like his father Jiawen II, spiritual magic is not something that Xiu is good at, except for a few kinds of spiritual magic, most of the other situations rely on the power of the light shield bloodline, in order to ensure that no flaws will be exposed, from the moment he got on the car, Xiu has always maintained the mental monitoring of intermediate magicians, even if he uses magic to forcibly speed up the recovery of physical strength, he can monitor for sixty hours continuously, this consumption still makes him almost collapse.

The so-called secret mission is just an excuse for the two of them to leave, and by the way, he also took part of the bounty of this mission, Xiu is not clear about the price level of Noxus, in fact, the number he took this time is enough for the two of them to live here for a year.

Supporting Xiu, who had almost fainted, Zhao Xin walked as quickly as possible to the location of the nearby hotel after inquiring about the direction, staying awake is the best way to ensure his own safety, two consecutive days of running around made Zhao Xin a little tired, and he also needed some time to adjust himself.

"The owner...... One room. ”

After entering the door of the hotel, these two people did not attract the attention of too many people who were reading the "novel" ybdu, and noticed that Xiu who was about to faint next to Zhao Xin, the boss did not show too much surprise, he did not immediately collect money from Zhao Xin, but waved his hand to signal the guy to take Xiu to rest first.

“…… Thank you. Zhao Xin said gratefully, he thought for a moment, and then took out an inscription from his pocket, according to his memory, at least five years ago, this inscription could have allowed them to stay in the best room here for two nights.

"You're welcome, it's not easy to be a servant for a magician, isn't it?" From the boss's expression, it can be seen that he is quite satisfied with the blue coin, and after making a color to the guy, he said to Zhao Xin.

"Huh? …… Well. Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment and quickly nodded, the innkeeper didn't seem to treat them as mercenaries, because it was very common for magicians to have a servant, no matter what, it didn't matter what their identity was, as long as the boss thought it was normal.

"You're not very lucky this time, and you just wanted to try your luck when you came across this kind of thing." Zhao Xin actually wanted to go away, perhaps because he was in a good mood, and the boss continued to chat with him.

“……”

Sure enough, what happened here, although this can be determined, but Zhao Xin didn't know what he was talking about, and after a slight pause, he asked quite smartly, "I'm sorry...... The boss didn't tell me what was going on, and I don't think a lot of people are looking good, what happened? ”

"No wonder he became like that......" Hearing Zhao Xin say this, the innkeeper immediately understood something, he pulled Zhao Xin over, and asked softly in his ear, "You should have come here from a long way away, didn't you hear any news on the way?" ”

"No, what's going on?"

"They don't get a chance to get a position" The innkeeper's voice was lowered, he carefully glanced at the other people in the store, and made sure that he didn't pay attention before he continued, "The conscription that was supposed to start yesterday didn't start, I thought it was just because it was delayed, but today news came from the army that this year's conscription has been canceled. ”

"What! Why is that? Zhao Xin tried his best to pretend to be surprised, although in the eyes of ordinary people, this was just "a little surprised".

"We don't know the specifics, the only thing we know is that the general seems to have made some kind of decision, although I don't know the specifics, but everyone speculates that it is likely that an armistice agreement was made with Demacia, so the conscription will be stopped, and in this way, all teenagers will enter the army to become officers and have a lot of opportunities for promotion, so ......"

Did Noxus really agree to join League of Legends? If this is true from the point of view of stopping this year's recruitment, but Xiu has also said before that no one knows what Noxus wants to do except Burnham himself, could this be just some kind of delaying tactic?

"That's the general situation, for their magicians, the best way to improve their strength when they enter the army, it seems that your boss is very hit, I will arrange the kitchen to cook some good food for him, you also go and rest first."

The boss's service was quite considerate, whether it was out of sincerity or the inscription, Zhao Xin politely expressed his gratitude and turned back to the room.

――

At the same time, the Demacian border is ten kilometers away.

"Whew...... It's finally almost here. “

Under the cover of night, the two men had unknowingly approached Demacia, and Zaun's flying machine had sent them to a position a hundred kilometers away from the border, and the rest of the distance had to be solved by airdropped magic engineering vehicles.

The man sitting in the driver's seat was about twenty-five years old, his figure was well-proportioned and slender, and the long hair draped behind him and his unruly face made many women crazy, and the man sitting next to him was no worse, except for a slightly thinner one, a cynical smile always hung on his handsome face, and on his arms, two curved blades were tucked away in characteristic scabbards, from which they would pop out at once if they were slightly controlled.

If a black cloth were on his face, you might immediately find out who he was, yes, he was the man he had briefly fought with Zhao Xin at the War College, his existence was almost a mystery, and even few people in the army knew of his existence, but for Burnham, he was the most powerful subordinate.

His name is Samuel, one of the strongest Assassins in Noxus, and his past, family, and even origins are a mystery, and there is no record of it anywhere, all so that his work can be carried out safely.

As for the man sitting next to him, he could be considered Samuel's only friend, and the premise of being able to become friends with a top Assassin was that he could also have the same strength, and his name was still known to too many people, but twenty years later, his name had long since become a household name.

Clarence? Prevent? Quekao, the Noxus general twenty years later, is the father of Caterina and Cassiopeia.

It seems that it is far away, and the events of twenty years later will be told later, at least for now, the two of them must not disclose their identities.

"We're almost there, try to be as restrained as possible, our plan is to go and explore the common people's mouths tonight, is your Piltover and Demacia really okay?"

Compared to Samuel's cynicism, Clarence was much more calm, and by the lights in the car, he once again confirmed his outfit - Piltover was dressed in the most fashionable way, with a specially modified "Piet-style" sports car, which was completely like a rich boy.

"You're too nervous, my dear Clarence, this time it's not about cutting off someone's head, it's just a matter of pretending to say a few words, the general has already said that as long as you get enough information within a month, it's all about giving us a holiday, isn't it?" Samuel couldn't help but laugh at Clarence's serious appearance, in his opinion, Clarence looked like a serious bad boy, and if there were a few chicks in the back of the sports car, they would immediately fall in love with this guy.

"Ah...... Forget it, I know you're going to be like this, a kind reminder, if you could be more serious and make yourself more reliable, the general must have promoted you a long time ago, do you want to be an assassin who can only hide in the dark? “

"Huh? What's so bad about that? Clarence said something similar more than once, and Mussel had long been tired of hearing it, "Work well when you have a job, and do whatever you want when you don't have a job without being ordered, this is the life I want, I know that you have always wanted to be a full-fledged officer, of course, I will not stop you, maybe by that time...... How about I work for you? “

"You...... Phew, forget it, if you can sit quietly for a while one day, I'll take you to the doctor. “

Clarence eventually laughed anyway, and he couldn't help but shake his head at Mussel's half-true expression.

Less than a kilometer from the walls of Demacia, it looks like Noxus, with the same lights and constant guards at night, protecting their country.

"We're going in." Looking at the level not far away, Clarence whispered to Mussel, this rather beautiful sports car has attracted a lot of people's attention, and even some children are already lying on the glass and looking inside curiously.

"Hey, hey, this isn't for you little devils, if it's a girl, I'd love to give you a ride!" Mussel smiled unabashedly and flirtatiously, Clarence couldn't help but nudge him, if it was a secret sneak in, he could have done it easily, but this time, their mission was completely opposite to the previous one, would they need some kind of special pass if they wanted to enter? He had no idea that they would be ready to abandon the car and flee if necessary.

"I've already said it, don't be so nervous my friend, you can look ahead for yourself, those Demacians seem to be friendly, don't they?"
