Chapter 167: Misguided Innocence
Looking at Canin's pitiful appearance of a slightly frail old man, Clarence hesitated for a moment what to do, should he just walk in like this? Or just stand here and watch? Still standing outside the door, he couldn't make up his mind, and Kanin, who was sitting on the bed, just looked at the book in his hand, even though one door opened, the other door never moved.
"Don't be so nervous, my dear friend, as you can see - I'm injured and will take some time to recover, and this is not Noxus, so you don't have to worry about anyone ambushing you here."
I don't know how long it took for Kanin to finally take the initiative to speak, he put down the book in his hand, smiled and turned his head to the direction where Clarence was standing.
“…… I'm sorry, but I can't be careless, you've been missing in Noxus for a while, and you can leave me in a small quagmire in Zaun, and then, with such humble words, you asked me to come here...... I'm just a petty assassin and can't afford an invitation like this. ”
Hearing Canin say this, Clarence was even more sure of the idea of not going into this room, he knew that he couldn't guess what this person was trying to do, and if he had to deal with him, it was wisest to keep a proper distance.
"Is that so...... So if I tell you that it was the Black Rose who told me your location, would that make you believe me? “
Black roses? [a] [Present] [Read] novel ybdu mmm...... The reason for this...... Clarence knew that Kanin did have some status with the Black Rose, but after killing their leader, would these people still help him? Never mind...... These things were not something he could think about at all, and he didn't intend to believe it: "Even if that's the case, then can you tell me what exactly you did in Zu'an?" “
"What was done? That's a good question," Kanin smiled helplessly, "The reason why I came to Zaun alone is to avoid being discovered by those people in the Black Rose, and you should also know that their allies only have interests, what will happen if the latest weapon I have researched for the sake of Noxus is discovered by these people?" “
Cut...... Is it the same again? Just like the answer just now, Canin's words sounded flawless, but there was no evidence to prove it, Clarence didn't answer immediately, and after sorting out his thoughts, he took the initiative to speak: "So you mean, you came to Zaun without anyone knowing about it in order to develop a powerful weapon, so as to prevent Black Rose from knowing too much, so let me guess next...... Did you get injured and trapped here because someone plotted against you while developing this weapon? “
"There is nothing wrong with the summary in the first half, but you are completely wrong in the latter part."
If Clarence had suddenly walked into the room from the hallway, he would have seen a smug smile on Canin's face, but he hadn't done so and hadn't noticed anything.
"The development of the weapon was very successful, even too successful, in the course of the test, the weapon was more powerful than I could have imagined, and at the cost of these Zaun scientists in this test, and I was wounded and barely escaped, the latest weapon is now outside the city, waiting for me to bring it back to Noxus."
"Is that so? I'm curious, can you show me the information on this weapon? Since it's such a powerful weapon, it should have very detailed design data, right? Clarence could not have believed such words, and even with solid evidence, the man's words could not be fully believed.
"Design data? How could I possibly put something so dangerous? Those materials have long been destroyed along with that secret lab! But if you're looking for evidence, I've got the best proof......"
Wow, whoa-
That sounds ...... Like the sound of getting dressed? Clarence, who was standing outside the door, still waiting for the so-called evidence, just heard such a voice, could it be ...... He subconsciously pulled out the short knife, and at the same time used the strongest interference magic he had mastered so far-
"That's what I want you to help me, that weapon has been sitting outside this small city for too long, I don't want it to be stolen by some people with ulterior motives, the terrain of that place is a bit complicated, I'm afraid you can't easily find it alone, so, can you take me there?"
Just as Clarence thought, Canin, who was slightly pale with a cane in his hand, slowly walked out of the room, his back bent, and each step seemed to require a lot of strength, facing the guarded Clarence, he did not show any disappointed expression, just smiled faintly, and waited for his answer.
“…… I can't answer, as you say, I don't know anything about this place except for the nearby attractions, wouldn't it be even more dangerous to take you there like that? ”
He's going to go in person? If it weren't for something really, very important, this cunning man would never have chosen to take it personally...... not only did he take the initiative to find himself, but also took the initiative to go there himself? Looking at this scene in front of him, Clarence was somewhat convinced, although he knew very well that he should not believe this person, but ...... In such a situation, he really can't do it completely distrustful.
"Looks like you still don't want to believe me...... I don't blame you for that, so it's good - thank you to the friends of Zaun for this amazing machine for me, I'll take this vehicle to that place, you just have to go out of town to find it, I'll wait for you until dawn, if you're willing to believe me, you'll be rewarded handsomely, I think that's not what you can say, then, I look forward to your answer. ”
After saying this, Kanin turned back to the house, on the outside of the balcony, a delicate one-man flying machine was already waiting for him there, watching him try to climb the slightly funny figure of this flying machine, Clarence even had the urge to help him for a while, but he still held back, looking at the trajectory left by the flying machine in the air, he couldn't help but fall into doubt, should he trust him, or should he simply report to Burnham and leave it to other ways to solve?
After thinking about it for a long time, Clarence seemed to have an answer, and he silently walked to the balcony and pulled out a small mobile phone.
