Chapter 193: The Girl and the Assassin
"Lord Clarence, I'm sorry to bother you, General Burnham told you to see him at once, he has something important to look for you."
"Now?" Clarence was stunned for a moment, he had just returned to Noxus from the capital of Zaun, and after performing this rather tiring mission, he thought he could rest for a few days, but he didn't expect Burnham to have another task for him so soon, "Okay, I see." “
The soldier in charge of the order saluted solemnly and then turned to leave the room, to be honest, when he pushed the door open, he began to regret why he had broken into this room at this time, although even if he broke into it now, Clarence could not blame him for anything, but...... Looking at this kind of picture, he always felt that he was a little redundant.
"I'll do it myself, you can go quickly, man...... I don't have a good opinion of anything, but all in all, you go quickly, don't let him wait for you. ”
You read that right, the girl who is lying on the bed is Phyllis, although Clarence doesn't want to admit it, but in the face of women, Musel just knows better than him, after being persuaded by Musel, Phyllis finally let go of the previous things, just because she is too weak, even if it has been several days, she still can't stand firm, but in these events when Clarence left Noxus, Mussel used his meticulous care to make Phyllis regain her ruddy complexion.
It has been more than a month since she rescued Phyllis from the dungeon of Demacia, and when he first met her, Clarence would never have imagined that he would take care of an object that he was originally just intended to use, at this time he was cutting the breakfast he cooked himself into suitable pieces and feeding them to Phyllis, please don't think that Phyllis is too delicate, if you see her slender arms that are already a little excessive, you will understand, The double effect of a huge psychological burden and a long period of hunger is not something that can be recovered in a short time.
"Actually, the general is not as bad as you think, he is just an ordinary person...... Belch...... I don't know if you'll believe what I say, anyway, at least in my opinion, the general is just an ordinary person......" Clarence didn't understand what Phyllis meant, although he could understand, but he still felt a little ...... when he said the general
"Hee...... Okay, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore, I'm not that weak yet, hurry up, if there's anything, I'll let Mussel help me out. ”
Let Mussell help with that...... I don't know why, when she heard Phyllis say it with such a smile, Clarence felt a little unhappy inexplicably, why is this...... Mussel is his best friend, and when he goes on his own mission, he is the one who helps him take care of Phyllis, not to mention that he is the one who convinces Phyllis......
Don't worry about this kind of thing and hurry up to see the general, Clarence himself realized that he was thinking too much, he put down the knife and fork in his hand, and after making sure that everything was fine, he smiled and waved his hand to Phyllis and said, "Then I...... Went to work? ”
"Huh...... Be careful on the road. Although it sounds a little strange, but for these people, there is really no problem with using the word "work", Phyllis couldn't help but laugh softly, then tilted her head, and said very cooperatively.
Ay......
Looking at Phyllis's cute smiling face, Clarence suddenly felt a slight tremor in his heart, it had been more than a month since he first met Phyllis, and her hair had grown a little longer and now she looked like a weak aristocratic lady, under the lazy morning sun, she was draped in a thin blanket and couldn't help but feel pity.
Müssel...... Clarence shus thought for a few seconds, then closed the door with a confused look.
Where does a top assassin live? In the eyes of ordinary people, the mysterious profession of assassins is always hidden in the shadows, they may not have a fixed residence, and even if they do, they should be in a very hidden place, although there is nothing wrong with thinking so, but even top assassins, they have their own lives, and they also have their own likes and dislikes.
Clarence's home is in the most modest residential area of Nietrick, the capital of Noxus, and this small but quite cozy apartment is cheap but quite satisfying for him, and he likes the cosy feeling because his identities are completely secret except for a few people, and Clarence does not have to worry about any trouble...... Unless it's those people who have ideas.
There is nothing special about Clarence's background, his parents are very ordinary Noxians, but because his father has served in the Noxian army for many years, Clarence also had the opportunity to contact some Assassins when he was young, which made him embark on the path of assassins, but after he really became an assassin, these things have long been abandoned by him.
The current Clarence is considered a top assassin in the Noxus army, in fact, there are other factors, because the role of assassins in real combat is getting smaller and smaller, and Noxus is gradually taking spy training as the most important part of assassin training, as the older generation of assassins gradually retires, as a member of the last group of real pure assassins, Clarence has become one of the best, only in terms of strength, Clarence is far inferior to his predecessors - Those top assassins can compete head-on with powerhouses like Gavin II, and Clarence can basically choose to run away when he encounters Gavin II.
But it doesn't matter, because he is still young, and the experience and experience brought by time will make him stronger and stronger, at least for now, Burnham still has many tasks to solve, and the real assassins still have their own room to play.
This is the street of Noxus, and in the eyes of the people of Demacia, Noxus is a rather unbearable place: it is full of injustice and evil, witchcraft is rampant here, and everyone looks evil...... It can only be said that in the eyes of the enemy, everything is wrong with the other side, but in reality, this is not the case.
There is no essential difference between the Noxians and the Demacians, in addition to the difference in culture, the Noxians are also as happy to enjoy life as the Demacians, for the difficulties of the opponent, the Noxians think this is simply ridiculous, yes, Noxians are indeed a place to pursue power, but no Noxians disagree with this, in their opinion, there is nothing wrong with a capable person having greater power, if the incompetent person has greater power, Isn't it a joke to be fair and reasonable?
However, it is clear that the Noxians are not fools, and they are not unaware of the possible consequences of too much power, and the solution to this trouble is very simple, so that everyone with close ability has the same power, and even the real ruler of Noxus, the Great General Burnham, follows such rules.
Now there are roughly three forces that share the power of Noxus, the Noxian military represented by General Burnham, the Black Rose represented by LeBlanc, and the Demacian aristocracy, among these three forces, the Noxus military is the most stable force, the Black Rose is the second, and the nobility is the most unstable link, although nominally they are all nobles, but the interests of each nobleman are not consistent, in Noxus, where the nobility is declining, some nobles have turned to the military or Black Rose, When it comes to real problems, the aristocracy rarely unites.
Black Rose is quite a special force, in a sense, Black Rose's hand even stretched out to a place where the Noxus military could not reach, purely in terms of strength, if Black Rose concentrates manpower, their strength is no less than that of the Noxian regular army, not to mention that after Lalivash took away a large number of magicians, the strength of the Noxian military has been greatly weakened, if LeBlanc really chose to launch a coup d'état, maybe Burnham is no longer a general at this time, but I have to admit it, Canin's original approach really blocked the black rose.
But mention the black roses...... After LeBlanc was killed by Canin, Black Rose was a little too quiet, Clarence recalled the news during this time, although Canin claimed to have killed LeBlan, and Black Rose did not deny it, but ...... The leader of such a huge group was killed, why can these people still be so calm? Although there are many different interest groups within Black Rose, these people cannot exist for so long if they do not understand that they must unite in order to survive.
But when it comes to Canin's words, I still have to explain again, that's right, Canin's own summoning circle was indeed successful, and this circle successfully summoned Morgana to this world, but it is clear that Morgana is definitely not the existence that Canin really wants to summon, not only did Canin not get any benefits from Morgana, but the research institute he had put a lot of effort into was also destroyed, and after Clarence carried him out of the huge pit, he handed Canin over to the Noxian military that he had previously notified, After completing the task given to him by Burnham, he returned to Claire's side.
Claire...... Yes...... Claire...... Thinking of this aristocratic girl, Clarence still felt a little headache, she just slept peacefully in that ordinary Zuan farmer's house, she didn't know what happened that night, and she didn't know that Clarence didn't sleep all night in order to fix the car, and simply enjoyed the trip.
