Chapter 156: Allies of Interests
"Young people...... This is the perfect answer I want to hear" When I heard Clarence accentuate the words "League of Legends", and then deliberately added the will of Noxus, Burnham's face showed a satisfied smile, as I said before, Burnham is a very good leader, what he just said was just a small temptation, and Clarence's answer was exactly what he wanted to hear, "This is the task given to the two of you this time, go back and prepare, League of Legends is still waiting for our news. ”
"Yes...... Wait a minute, are you letting me go with Miss Claire? ”
Without waiting for Clarence to be proud of his quick response, Burnham's arrangement once again stunned him, "You two"? , why did the general make such an arrangement?
"Of course, I can't let her accompany me every day to deal with boring affairs, right? Your mission is only to negotiate with our old friend, and she just hasn't been to Zu'an, so take her with you to see what's wrong? Burnham waved his hand, not seeming to take Clarence's question to heart.
"Okay...... Rest assured. Since the general said this, Clarence naturally had no reason to refuse, he stood up straight, bowed solemnly, turned around and prepared to leave here.
Wow -
"Oops......" Before Clarence could take a few steps, the sound of scattered documents suddenly came from behind her, and Burnham, who was also about to leave, stood up from behind the table of 'one' reading 'novel' ybdu, accidentally knocked a stack of thick papers to the ground, seeing this, Claire immediately leaned down and began to pick up these scattered documents, but before she could pick up a few, Burnham had already stopped her, "This is not what a noble lady should do, you can go and prepare for the trip, Clarence, Help me pack these things. ”
"That's exactly it, Miss Claire, I'll take care of this kind of thing." Clarence said the same.
"Actually, I don't mind...... All right. Seeing that both of them said this, Claire did not insist, and after lifting her skirt slightly and curtsy, she left the room.
After making sure that Claire was far away, Clarence didn't go to pack the papers, and after closing the door, he stood up straight again and took the initiative to ask, "So General, what other tasks do you need me to complete?" “
It was just a conference room, there wouldn't have been so many papers, and the thick stack of material was definitely just a cover-up, and Clarence wouldn't have understood Burnham's obvious hint, and if he hadn't even seen it, he wouldn't have been summoned here.
"Oh? Doesn't it seem like my acting skills are still a little lacking? Although he said this, the smile on Burnham's face became more obvious at this time, he walked back to the table with these useless documents without care, and waved his hand to signal Clarence to sit down, "You are a very smart and powerful young man, and I know your achievements in the past few years, I know that you want to get a position as a general, not be willing to be an assassin all the time, but young man, there is one thing you must believe me, with your current strength and experience, it is not enough to assume this important position, But you can rest assured, I will never bury anyone who is capable, here are some small gifts for you, I don't know if you like it or not. “
"Thanks to the General!" Even if it was just that, Clarence already felt very encouraged, not to mention a gift? With trepidation, he took what Burnham had taken out of the drawer and handed him something: a book and a wooden box.
"I've heard your magic teacher say that you're also very talented in magic, but you don't need to learn too much magic to be an assassin, I don't agree with him, you have a codex in your hand, this is a magical research note left by one of your seniors, he is an assassin like you, and he is also a magus who interferes and detects magic, I think such a person's research notes are quite useful for you, you can study his experience well."
"Yes! I understand! How could such a gift not excite Clarence, a man who had almost the same point of view as himself, whose account was naturally much easier to understand than those difficult books, and after a deep bow, his gaze naturally fell on the wooden box.
"Curious? Then open it and take a look. “
With Burnham's approval, Clarence immediately opened the lid of the box, and what appeared in front of him was definitely one of his favorite things - two shiny daggers.
"These two knives are from the hands of top craftsmen, and I spent a lot of money to ask them to help, and these two knives have a special spell-breaking enchantment effect, and they are extremely restrained for magic defense, I don't know if you like it?"
"General, I ......"
The joy of receiving the gifts was gone at this time, Clarence vaguely realized that the meaning of these two gifts was by no means as simple as before, and after lowering his head and being silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head and whispered: "General, do you want me to assassinate a powerful magician?" “
"Hahaha...... I must admit that I appreciate you more and more" When he heard this, Burnham immediately laughed unabashedly, this smile was only for a moment, and between his eyebrows could not hide a cold expression, when the smile on his face gradually faded, Burnham also slowly stood up, walked to Clarence's side, pressed his shoulder and whispered, "I don't have to hide anything from you, what do you think about Kanin?" “
"Your Excellency Canin...... He is your most loyal and effective counselor. ”
"Oh...... Perhaps, in your opinion, I do trust Kanin and his decisions completely, but I know very well that he is just a man who will do anything for his own purposes, and it just so happens that I have some common interests with him, which is why he has helped me for so many years, I think it was not so long ago that he finally found a suitable time to use his position to bypass me to carry out his plan, this kind of thing I don't want to see, if I am not mistaken, he should be pursuing his little goal in Zuan now, I've just found a very suitable identity for you to disguise, and I hope you can find him and find out what his real goal is, and if necessary, it doesn't matter if you kill this guy, as long as the result satisfies me, you can get what you want most. ”
――
After some time, in a small town in Zuan.
A few days ago, a huge explosion outside the small city, so that many residents still have lingering palpitations, in the original green grass outside the city, only a huge circular pit remained, standing on the edge and looking down, you can also see some scattered mechanical fragments and the edge of the edge of the laboratory is only half left, according to the person who witnessed the explosion that day, this magic explosion without warning from the ground straight into the sky, a huge amount of magic formed a blue tornado, Fortunately, the source of the storm came from the bottom of this huge pit, after destroying all the anti-magic materials and drilling down for nearly 100 meters, the magic storm finally stopped after running out of magic, and the residents of the town canceled the explosives option and related experiments in the material purchase list.
It was an ordinary hotel, and shortly after the explosion that day, a few strangers had dropped off with their wallets, and the innkeeper saw at a glance that these people seemed to be injured, and instead of going to a doctor or a medical magician, the injured man had come here for what he was doing. The innkeeper instantly understood what was going on when he thought of the horrific explosion, but after receiving a large sum of money, he decisively handed over the hotel to them and took his wife on vacation, which was just an experiment of a group of geniuses or madmen, and there was nothing strange about this kind of thing in Zaun.
"Ahem...... Whew......"
After slowly opening his eyes, the man subconsciously wanted to sit up, but just tried to exert his strength, the pain in his chest still made him cough immediately, after the treatment of magic and medicine, the injury on his chest has basically recovered, but for people of his age, it is not easy to recover.
He was Kanin, and in the energy room, the woman gave him a knife mercilessly, but as if it was intentional, she didn't stab him, and Kanin saved his life, and shortly after she left, the group of scientists who had been shocked by Kanin chased him back here, and only then did they save him before the explosion.
The cause of the explosion was undoubtedly the secret experiment carried out by Kanin, and the small gift left by the agents of Picheng also contributed to it, after obtaining the magic array, the agents quickly left the place, except for the few remaining scientists standing in the control room, those who thought that the unknown truth of the intruder had also disappeared with the entire facility, if there was a loss, Noxus undoubtedly suffered the most, not only because they invested most of the money, A large number of top researchers, as well as finished and semi-finished products, were all lost in the explosion, and that was the most important part.
How long has it been since then...... How long have you been asleep here? Kanin didn't want to waste his precious time in such a place, he pressed his newly recovered chest, and sat up from the bed with little effort, the purple robe he usually wore was on the bedside table beside him, and he tried to reach out and try to pick it up......
Boom.
Then he fell to the ground.
