Chapter 42: Whispering

"Boy, do you envy them?"

Noticing that Zhao Xin had been staring at the group of soldiers, the waiter who was standing on the side and waiting for him stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, the news that Noxus had stopped recruiting in the past few days was known to everyone, and looking at Zhao Xin's appearance, it was easy to think of him as one of these lost young people.

"Huh? Well...... Truly. The waiter's question suddenly reminded Zhao Xin that now is not the time to doubt, but fortunately, he has always been expressionless, so as not to misunderstand.

"Hmph, boy, don't think we're really afraid of these people, the bow just now is just out of politeness, these guys will always know only war and war in their heads, and never understand the importance of other things, now that you know the existence of the Black Rose, you should know that becoming a soldier is not your only way out, I suggest you better understand our philosophy, of course, you can disagree with our point of view, but it is not bad for you to know more about things."

From the waiter's attitude, Zhao Xin read his disdain for the military, there are differences within Noxus, which has long been reported by spies, unlike Demacia, Noxus is not so united, on the contrary, there are many forces here that influence each other, although their positions are different, but because they cannot completely eliminate the rest of the parties, coupled with the threat from Demacia, these different forces have maintained a delicate balance, maintaining the normal operation of Noxian novel xstxt sas in the conflict.

"If so...... Do Black Roses want peace? ”

Zhao Xin asked naturally, but in some ways it seemed a little unnatural, if that person was really a certain general in Noxus, it was the purpose of this mission to immediately try to get some information from him, but Zhao Xin neither did this, nor did he think about confirming his identity, but seemed to have some interest in the black rose.

"That's right, at least as far as I understand it," the waiter nodded, "It seems that the higher-ups prefer peace between the nations, as for the reason...... I'm sorry I'm just a little guy, of course I don't know what the higher-ups really think, but at least in Noxus, it's more important to know what you're doing and what you want to do, isn't it? ”

What are you doing?

The waiter's unintentional words seemed to suddenly wake up Zhao Xin, what was he doing? Leaving the prince alone in the inn tonight, he originally just wanted to find out some news about Darius in the tavern, but he seemed to deal with Black Rose naturally, and then he took over the task, so what about after the mission was completed and he got the news about Darius? What should I do? Do you want to go with the flow and go back to him?

Zhao Xin suddenly realized that he was really just thinking about "what to do next", and never "why he did it".

It seems that since a long time ago, Zhao Xin has been accustomed to obeying the orders of others without thinking, since he was rescued from Noxus by the second, his life has become to obey the command of his superiors, for so many years, Zhao Xin didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with this, but after being asked that question by Chad, Zhao Xin vaguely felt something strange.

…… So what exactly do you want to do? Or do you really have the right to choose what you want to do?

……

"Hey, what's wrong with you, boy, I didn't say anything complicated, right, why are you stunned?"

The waiter looked at Zhao Xin a little strangely, after saying what he just said, he had been standing there without saying a word, his sluggish expression was like a puppet, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to pat him on the shoulder......

Syllable!

Just when his hand was still a few centimeters away from Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin, who had been standing in place, seemed to suddenly wake up, he suddenly held the waiter's outstretched hand and didn't let him touch him, turned his head and smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry I was just thinking about what you told me, thank you for telling me this, where is my mission area?" ”

"Hey......? Is it? Alright," the waiter was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered from it, "There aren't many guests on this floor today, you can walk around the corridors here as you like, but as I said before, you are not allowed to enter any of the rooms here, and the other people here will monitor your behavior, as long as you make sure that no unrelated people break into this place and the next floor before dawn, even if your mission is completed, is there anything you don't understand?" ”

"I want to ask, what is the definition of an unrelated person?"

"We have special guards at the entrance of each floor, as long as they let the people out, there is no problem, and in addition, the people who have entered the room on this floor are not suspicious, which can be assured."

"And what if someone uses magic to break into here?"

"There's a mage at the entrance who is in charge of preventing the use of invisible magic to break in, and although this place is underground, the walls are also enchanted to be on the safe side, and any attempt to use magic to cross this place will cause an alarm."

"I see, so if I use perceptual magic, will it cause some unnecessary misunderstanding?"

"Do you use magic too?" Zhao Xin's question made the waiter stunned for a moment, originally he thought that this young man was just a fist and foot kung fu, but judging from his current tone, it really looked like he knew some magic, "There will also be magician guests here, so the use of magic will not be subject to any surveillance, but you need to remember one thing, if you use magic that you shouldn't use, we will know." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll do my job well, then, I'll go around and familiarize myself with the environment first, do you mind if I do that?"

"Uh...... Of course not. ”

What's wrong with this kid, how does he feel like he's been a different person since just now? Looking at the back of Zhao Xin leaving, the waiter couldn't help but think so in his heart, but since he was introduced here, he must not be an ordinary character...... The waiter didn't think much of it, and turned back to his post.

"Detect as much structure and personnel as possible, and test if teleportation magic works."

At the moment when the waiter turned around, Zhao Xin immediately said to himself, those questions just now are not just for this task, but more to understand the basic situation and bottom line here, after suddenly thinking of "what to do", Zhao Xin felt for the first time that there was a clear goal in his mind, and he quickly looked for the corridor where there was no one in order to carry out the next work.

"(Structure probing is in progress, teleportation can be used)."

Because of the "living magic" in the body, ordinary magic power is not stored too much in Zhao Xin's body, and it only needs to be transformed in large quantities when needed, and soon, a map gradually appeared in front of his eyes, similar to what he guessed, there is a broader space under the ground here, but all the walls around this space are enchanted with high-level enchantments, except for the shape that can be judged accordingly, it is completely impossible to detect any information in it, and the scope of this layer is far larger than imagined, If you ignore the ordinary mercenaries on the upper floor, the number of people on this level alone has reached more than two hundred, if what the person just said is correct, then these two hundred people are almost all so-called "waiters", except for a few who wander outside the corridor or are responsible for guarding a specific area, the others are divided into multi-person teams to gather in the concentrated rooms, and according to the results of the detection, the vicinity of these rooms is very similar to the entrance to the next floor.

There's definitely some sort of secret down here, and not only because of the sheer number of guards, but the guy who could be the general adds to the possibility.

So should you try to sneak in and investigate? Zhao Xin thought about this problem in his heart, first of all, he didn't know what was going on below and whether it was related to the news of the League of Legends, and secondly, the risk of infiltrating was too great, even if he could use teleportation to escape after being discovered, but if the other party tracked it down, how could he leave with the prince who had not yet recovered his strength?

The answer to the question seems obvious, Zhao Xin doesn't need to take such a big risk, with Prince Xiu here, there is no problem at all if he wants to get some news......

There are no problems......

At this moment, Zhao Xin's heart was a little hesitant, this time, he didn't simply want to complete a certain task, but wanted to confirm something through his own hands, from just now, the doubts about the practice of the black rose kept bothering him, although the practice of intelligence control can minimize unnecessary misunderstandings, but is it really no problem to introduce the first acquaintance to such an important occasion? If you really belong to a hostile organization, the basic situation here is fully grasped, and this level of trust is completely unbelievable.

Does that mean...... His whereabouts have been mastered from the beginning, is it all just a trap?

"(The probe is complete, please continue to walk down)."

"Huh?"

At this time, the magic friend in Zhao Xin's body completed the detection of the structure, but in the response received, Zhao Xin clearly felt the sound of "Please continue to go down", he looked at his hands in disbelief, turned his head sideways and whispered to himself: "You...... Were you talking just now? ”

(Please keep going down)."

The same voice came again, "friend" did not affirm or deny, he just kept repeating this sentence in Zhao Xin's ear as if whispering.
