"Is this it?"

"It should be."

In the middle of nowhere.

Two pitch-black figures walked out side by side.

In front of them, there are even more remote corners.

The most inconspicuous gutter crack in the entire War College.

"Do you think we were the first to get the news?" Casually annihilated a homeless man who was in the way into ashes, Piero looked at the rotten house in the dark, and for some reason, he always felt something wrong in his heart.

But this kind of inappropriateness is extremely unprovoked.

It's like, what detail did he miss?

What is it?

"It's hard to say, you know, although the Sphinx claims to be the most well-informed person in the entire continent, he is also the most untrustworthy person in the entire continent, although we gave him ten times the extra money to let him delay the sale of this news for a day. However...... Hudson continued to sense the energy fluctuations around him, and the results he got were ......

He frowned slightly.

"It seems that we don't know how much information we have gotten."

"How?" Piero felt his fears come true.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Hudson didn't say anything more, and walked straight into the rotten house that was hidden in the darkness.

There is no obstacle along the way.

Only the stale turbidity floats around.

In the middle of the crumbling house.

It was a broken chain, and the breath of the soul was wrapped around the chain that had not yet completely dissipated.

"It seems that the Sphinx is worthy of the title of the most untrustworthy person in the world." Hudson picked up the broken chain and flipped it in his hand. "Let's go, we're going back and preparing for the worst." ”

"What's the worst?" When Piero heard this, he trembled all over.

It was a real tremor. From Piero, one of the triumvirate of parliament and one of the top five most powerful people in the whole world.

What is he afraid of?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time.

Pretty much the same scene takes place in another shady corner of the city.

Vladimir, who had regained his grace, picked up the broken chain in the middle of the rotten house with some disgust.

He only twisted a small part, frowning as he felt the breath of the soul remaining on it.

"It tastes dirty." As hard as it was to bear, I wanted to throw it on the ground and leave this hellish place without looking back.

But in the end, reason triumphed over willfulness.

Vladimir finally endured his nausea and put the chain stained with an unknown amount of resentment into his pocket.

What an embarrassing task.

Moreover, it actually failed.

Sure enough, those two guys who can only point fingers. It's not a big deal.

I still dare to have an opinion about myself.

Hum.

Someday......

He thought of the cruel content.

Allowing the will of this world to continue to devour, the surging void in his heart.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"You see, we don't really have to do much." Nasus shook the tall magic crystal glass in his hand and began to taste the red wine rarely.

He looked a little proud.

He really deserves to be proud.

Because it is not too difficult to find two rotten houses in the War College, and arranging two broken chains with soul breath is not too troublesome to prepare.

But it is possible to move those who think they are standing on the top of this plane in the wrong direction at the same time, without spending too much extra effort.

This is not easy.

So, it's really worth celebrating.

Nasus held up the best Merlin wine ever brewed tonight. I'm going to give Ezreal, who was sitting across from him, a drink.

Ezreal didn't stop it.

Just looked at Nasus and said lightly: "This is just the first step." And I think that from tonight onwards, the name Sphinx will already be a nirvana. ”

"So what?" Nasus didn't care, and he continued to pour wine for Ezreal with great skill. Hold your hand steady so that not a single drop of excess liquor spills out, "You don't think I'm going to do everything with the Sphinx, do you?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is, then. We have set up the most important chess pieces, and we don't have to worry about the rest at all, we just need to wait ......"

"Wait ......" Ezreal looked at the cup of bright red liquid in front of him, his eyes radiating a blue light through the goggles, reflecting on it, a strange blue blood color.

"Wait for the second gale to return." Nasus took a sip of the wine and gently placed the cup in his hand on the table.

It's like, a silent bell has been runged.

The bell of the decisive battle.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Did they get the first time?"

Back to that gloomy sanctuary again.

Piero couldn't help but tingle the skin all over his body.

It's not cold.

It's not very cold here.

However, he couldn't stop trembling.

He's in ......

"Okay, it's just a meeting with those guys, nothing remarkable, Piero, relax, don't be afraid, you're trembling." Lalivash was surprisingly relieved to Piero, and he smiled and said, "How did we let them go before, this time, we were still able to repel them, didn't we?" ”

"Yes......" Piero said with difficulty, listening to the gentle words of Lalivash with relief, and instead of relaxing, he felt ......

It's colder.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was pitch black, and only the darkness of the room remained.

"They actually got it first?" The grandiose and indifferent voice rang out again.

"Yes." Vladimir pretended to be submissive and replied, "I also brought something back." ”

"Well...... Not necessarily. The voice refused, "This kind of thing, how you look at it, how deliberate, this matter, whether they succeed or not, it doesn't matter, it's just a Dismason, what does it matter if you give it to them?" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

And the last of the last.

One, the shady corner of a real war college.

The elderly man carried a lantern to a dilapidated house.

The house was faintly lit with a faint green light. (To be continued......)

PS: There is only one change.

Persistent Carvin.

The plot moves into the final paragraph.

I need to think.

Try not to make mistakes.

I'm sorry.
