Caterina is one of the top assassins in the Noxian Empire, not one of them!

She has always been resolute and ruthless, and she was once a legendary general Du? The eldest daughter of Quekao, who quickly rose to prominence in the Empire for her skillful skills and unexpected swift assassination, was eventually praised by the Grand Commander of Svein by chance, and began to touch the core of the upper echelons of the Quesan Empire with her own skills, and began to serve the Empire with her unparalleled skills.

But what no one knows......

In fact, when she Catalina personally killed the second-rate assassin sent by her father to assassinate her, and threw the opponent's head at her father, the legendary general Du, on the same day? At Kekao's feet, she was no longer his assassin, nor was she his daughter!

she

Katarina, now in the service of the Empire, is the will of Noxus!

And this is the real reason why Caterina and two of her subordinates flew over the Voodoo Lands today in the guise of Demacian in three dragon birds, and tried to sneak into the home of the rebellious Grey Order mages.

however

The brutal truth lets her know that there doesn't seem to be any chance of success in her mission today?

"Hey ......"

"I'm curious......"

"Could it be that our Noxus intelligence department has really been reduced to a point where it can only produce waste like you? Now, keep your eyes open and see what you call the worthless 'grey order'? ”

"Hah!"

Laughing back, Caterina stepped up to her servant and pressed a glowing dagger to his neck.

"It's not a small town, it's a huge magical fortress!!"

"Perhaps, I can think that you deliberately provided the wrong information that caused the Svein Commander to be captured alive by that group of mages?!"

No matter how dangerous and difficult the task, Caterina will not hesitate to fulfill her honorary mission in the storm of saw-bladed daggers, and she will never back down, she can decapitate the head of any enemy for the sake of the Empire, including enemy commanders or enemy generals hiding in the midst of hosts.

But

That definitely doesn't include the huge giant city in the distance, lying like a prehistoric beast on the horizon of the Voodoo Lands, with countless towering glowing white mage towers, bright as daylight fixtures, and beautiful walls that are higher than the immortal fortress of Noxus!!

That place, definitely not the same as the intelligence officer who was trembling under her dagger explained to herself, just a small town-like rebel station?

“……”

"Ka, Katerina-sama......"

"Little swear, yesterday or earlier, it really wasn't like that, I swear, I've been here twice to find out in person, it really wasn't like that before, in the name of the Empire!"

Seeing the dagger with a terrifying and bloody aura in the coldness lying across his neck, the Noxian spy wearing a black tight-fitting simple leather armor forcibly endured the fear and faint stool in his heart, and the two trembling ground opened their mouths to defend loudly.

"Adult, what the little one said is absolutely true......"

"We just scouted it a few days ago, and it wasn't like that back then, those mages must have used some kind of evil illusion to trick our vision, maybe we can take a closer look?"

"I want to ......"

"That must be fake, we can sneak in, rescue Lord Svein or capture that Gregory's daughter, and trade her back for ......"

"Huh?!"

However, before the obscene-looking man could go on and finish his own feeble quibbles and suggestions, he felt a sudden pain in his neck, and then the whole world spun around, and then, when he saw a headless corpse with red blood, he knew nothing......

"Big, Adult......."

"What should we do now?!"

Seeing that Caterina shook the blood beads on the dagger, and then turned her head to look at herself with an expressionless face, the other assistant who followed couldn't help but take a small step back, and then remembered something, and then he barely swallowed his saliva and asked.

Because he is not from the Imperial Intelligence Department, he is an assistant sent by Lord Draven to assist this Katrana, and he has nothing to do with the unlucky bastard who has fallen and has become a headless corpse!

“……”

"Humph! What to do? ”

Caterina raised her head and looked at the gray Order Mage City in the distance, which looked a little too extravagant in shape and architectural style, before turning her head and glancing coldly at the remaining assistant with a worried expression that seemed to know that there was little usefulness with her long red hair, which was only half covered by her long red hair.

She didn't think the grandeur of the magical city in the distance could be an illusion created by magic.

"Since we're all here, then we must try to save Lord Svein and them!"

"Let's go!"

"Now that the plan to infiltrate is no longer working, let's go in directly, and in the name of our envoys of the Noxus Empire, we will have a good talk with those mages who have defected from the Empire?"

With a twist of the dagger in her hand, a cold light flashed, and after instantly hiding it in the scabbard of the cloak behind her, Caterina turned and walked towards the three-headed dragon bird they were riding.

Now that their pre-planned plan to infiltrate, investigate, rescue or kidnap tickets has been declared bankrupt, there is no need for disguise or anything like that, and she now plans to directly fly the banner of the envoys of the Noxian Empire and talk to the mages who suddenly developed so quickly in the Voodoo Land in the south of the empire......

Because, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible no matter what! Otherwise, I'm afraid that before the kingdom of Demacia, which is said to have fallen into a demonic calamity, collapses by itself, their Noxian Empire will have to be the first to fall into the embarrassing situation of being divided and warlords fighting!

"My lord! Are you sure? ”

"My subordinates think that we should go back and ask for your opinions first? We now have three dragonbirds, and if we change our mounts, we can return to the Immortal Fortress in one day at most! ”

This assistant knows very well, it is said that when Lord Svein and they came here, it was said that they also came in the name of envoys?

But now, he was directly captured alive by others, and he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was so tired that the entire Noxian Empire was in chaos, and it almost didn't become a plate of loose sand! Under such circumstances, how would he dare to put up the banner of an envoy with this Caterina again, and negotiate with the unruly mages in that 'gray order'?

I can't say it, they can get in, but they can't get out!

Although he is not afraid of death, he doesn't want to be caught by a group of unruly and honorless defectors inexplicably, and then thrown into a prison cell, dead in that dark and damp place, becoming a nameless dry skeleton!

"If you insist, you can leave both dragon birds with me and fly back first?"

"And if you don't want to, shut up!"

"...... Now"

"I've made my choice, whatever the situation will be, we'll have to go in and see...... Hurry up and catch up......"

"Remember, only a fool would hesitate!"

Caterina herself didn't want to choose this option, because what she was good at was infiltration and assassination, and as for messengers and whatnot, it really wasn't her specialty! That kind of thing, her sister would obviously be a little better at it?

And if she could, she really wanted to infiltrate the Grey Order Residency that was like a small town in Noxus as mentioned in the original information, and then do her best to rescue Lord Svein of the Empire! Of course, you can also choose to use those previously captured dragon birds to impersonate the Demacians and capture that mystical warlock Gregory? Hasta and his wife, Anne, daughter of the Shadow Witch Amoline? Hasta?

It's a pity that now she can only choose the worst option, and can only appear directly in front of the group of defectors who are said to have been part of the empire in the name of the messenger.

Of course, in fact, she is not without the slightest chance......

After all, those people defected in the coup d'état of the empire more than ten years ago, perhaps, they don't know her true identity of Katarina, only that she is Du? The daughter of General Kekao? And this could be her chance to implement some means?

However, this was only her superficial plan, and she had to wait for her to enter the amazing city of mages in the distance, and then make other plans.

"Yes, ...... as told"

——————

On a snowy plateau with a howling cold wind, a convoy of sled truckers pulled by a herd of icefield yaks with long horns and heavy hair braved the cold wind and stepped on the thick snow to make a low-speed journey on this icy northern plateau.

In the middle of the caravan sat a little girl wearing a white snow hat, strands of long golden hair peeking out of the hat fluttering in the cold wind, wearing a thick blue and white plush dress, snow boots of the same style, and a stuffed toy bear in her arms.

Of course, in addition to her, there was also the old man next to her, wrapped in thick felt, with only half of his face exposed, with a long beard and a bare head with blue-purple skin.

Obviously, this little girl wearing a blue and white expensive raccoon dog skirt suit must be Anne!

And sitting next to her was the wandering mage she had met three days ago in a place called the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest in the Kingdom of Demacia! The other party is a very powerful guy, and there are a lot of good things called world runes that are hidden on his body that are targeted by Annie, but he is a little embarrassed to rob them directly!

thereupon

Of course, Anne, who found a good baby, directly left the mess in the kingdom of Demacia, and directly followed this wandering mage grandfather without the slightest embarrassment, and followed this caravan to the north of Freljord to come here, and came to this cold world where it was freezing and snowy.

Because, Anne, who has taken a fancy to something, vows to get her hands on it and play with it, whether it's good or not, will definitely not give up easily until her desires are satisfied!

"Hey!"

??? (?)????

"Grandpa Ruici, do you know, I've always felt that that kind of bare-headed guy must be a very powerful guy, now look at it, it's really like this, you're the same with a bare head, it's indeed a guy with high mana!"

(*?′╰╯`?)? Excellent ......

As she spoke, little Anne's eyes kept staring at an old man beside her who seemed to be afraid of the cold, hidden in thick felt...... Pack your bags!

Because she knew that over there, there was a fragment of the World Rune from the Kingdom of Demacia! Perhaps, there are many more?

It's a shame to do this......

Think of her, Queen Anne, who had plagued their hated Demacians in the kingdom of Demacia for several days, but she hadn't even been able to find that kind of good thing, and she was even preempted by this bad old man and dug it up?

"Annie!"

"You'd better not touch the runes with your hands!!"

Ruici, who was hiding in the felt to keep himself warm, suddenly quietly moved his salute, the scroll bags that were hastily tied together, and the space rune bags containing the world runes to his right hand, and moved them to a position away from the little girl.

Scold......

If some ill-intentioned little guy thinks that he Ruici can't see her little movements, then she is very wrong!

"Humph!"

o(′^｀)o

"I just want to take a look, see what's the matter?!"

o(lll￢ω￢)o

Isn't it time to take out something good and share it with others?

And now, since she, Queen Anne, has taken a fancy to those world runes hidden by the other party, then he should generously take them out and show them to her, she just looks at them, and she may not necessarily take them and not return them!

So, Anne thinks that this old man must have been very naughty when he was a child, and he must not have many friends, and he must not have listened carefully to the advice of an old mother in his family, and he must have not learned the good character of taking out the good things to share with others!

In short, in addition to being very powerful, the bald head is definitely not a good person!!

"Kid ......"

"Your power is already so strong that I often feel scared......"

"You shouldn't dwell on it anymore......"

"You may not know it, but these world runes aren't a good thing, they're dangerous...... The dark forces are watching it, and believe me, it's not a bedtime story or a toy, and while they have great power and endless knowledge, they really aren't for a little girl like you? ”

When he was in the kingdom of Demacia, Ruici inadvertently knew that the demon disaster was caused by this little girl, and the other party skillfully used the forbidden magic stones of the Demacians who stored a huge amount of magic power, and easily did everything!

In his opinion, it was an amazing miracle spell......

So, this little girl by his side at this time must be an amazing guy with outstanding talent! It's just that the other party's approach is still a bit too naïve and meaningless in his opinion? If it were him, he would definitely not run to Demacia with nothing to do, and spend magic and huge mental power to do that kind of boring thing!

Moreover, modifying living beings is a forbidden area......

He never thought that a little girl would have that kind of knowledge and power? Of course, it is more likely that it is due to some kind of talent that the other party is born with?

Otherwise, the strength of the little girl next to her would be too terrifying......

“……”

(?_?)

"If you don't want to give, you won't give it, what's the big deal?"

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

Anne didn't want to rob the old man of his stuff right now, but ......

If she had been following the other party and waited until the other party had discovered the new world rune, and then she would have taken the lead and secretly snatched the rune first, then there would definitely be no problem!

“……”

Ruici did not speak, and continued to hide himself deep in the felt.

Because, he wants to save more strength and energy to do those more meaningful things to protect this runetera world.

"Huh?!"

"Something's coming! But...... I don't have time to deal with those guys, I have more important tasks to ......"

Suddenly, Ruici, who was about to continue persuading a certain little girl, suddenly stood up from the snow wagon dragged by the ice field yak, and then stared at the snow field in front of him with blazing eyes, and after a blue arcane light flashed in his eyes, he quickly returned to his original state.

He saw that under the snowfield, there were some huge monsters attacking, and their number was a little large, although he should be able to defeat them with some effort, but ......

“……”

Shaking his head, Ruici didn't say anything, but silently picked up his bags under the surprised gazes of the other people around him, preparing to teleport out of here first.

As he said, he has more important tasks, those things are related to the safety of this world, and the lives of countless people, so he can't waste his strength here...... Now this group of traders who are destined to be destroyed, he can't take care of them for the time being!

"Huh?!"

∑(′△｀)？！

"Wow! Seems to have something fun? ”

〣o(oΔo) o

What the bald old man next to him can find, Anne naturally has no reason why she can't find out!

Therefore, she also carried her little bear, jumped up directly on the big truck, and even looked at the snow field in front of her that did not know how thick the snow had accumulated.

‘！！ ’

At this time, the snow field ox of a sled wagon walking in the front suddenly stopped, not only did it not accept the control of the chaser, but it also wanted to retreat or run away in a frenzy.

'Not good! There are snowworms ahead!! ’

Then, when the snow marks were raised in the snow that were even bigger than the trucks, the first one, who was still shouting and wanted to regain control of the caravan mount, let out a terrible cry, causing a trace of sadness to rise on this white snowfield!

Obviously, he must have known what they were up against!!

"Alas......"

I'm alone, and my companions are just burdens......

After sighing in his heart, Rui Ci shook his head and began to silently prepare his spells, intending to directly teleport out of here and go to his destination, a small tribe of acquaintances in the deep mountains of the northern plateau, before the snow insects devoured this caravan!

Of course, he can't teleport directly to that, he has to travel a long way! It's just that after leaving this caravan, those roads are not easy for him to walk alone.
