Chapter 22: Conspiracy
Demacia
Ahri followed Ke Wei all the way for a long time, and came to a hidden residence under Ke Wei's leadership. Walking through the door, there was only a few small windows in the room, and the rest of the room was dark and dead.
Ke Wei beckoned Ahri to a table and chair with light, the two patted the dust on the chair and sat down, Ke Wei and Ahri's cheeks were half exposed to the light, and their ice blue eyes and fox ears looked particularly good.
Ke Wei's greasy hair reflected a little oily, but his black eyes were very deep, which made Ahri a little uncomfortable.
"Are you sure you're going to join Silas's team? The...... Miss. ”
"Ahri." Ahri paused for a moment and continued, "If she is indeed as you say, she can also leave me a home in Demacia. ”
"That's nature. It's just that I'm not sure if you're willing to fight the local soldiers, and with your magic, or Vastaya's magic, it should be very easy, Miss Ahri. ”
"I don't think a team only needs to fight and kill people, there are many mysteries of Vastaya, and not all Vastya are suitable for fighting."
"So what's your best move?" Ke Wei's eyes stared at Ahri, a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Ahri's expression was slightly serious, and he asked rhetorically, "Is this the essence of the team?" ”
"What?" Ke Wei was slightly confused, Ahri proudly looked up at Ke Wei slightly, and then said, "Instead of accepting all the mages who are not recognized by the empire, to advocate equality, can't you join without a skill?" ”
"Of course not, since you're determined to join, I'll take you to meet Silas in the evening, and now it's time for me to wash myself." Ke Wei got up and went upstairs after speaking, Ahri looked at her back, and her heart was full of thoughts.
Ke Wei is unkempt and doesn't know what he did before, and now that he has joined the team, he should have a perfect way to deal with it, otherwise it will be really difficult for him to do something he is reluctant to do. When Ke Wei was about to disappear into the stairs, Ke Wei said a word to Ahri with a smiling tone.
"I'm glad you're on board, Demacia will be the place for you to show off your skills."
Ke Wei was washing upstairs, Ahri left his position and looked around with the subtle light, and the thirst for soul memory in his body was also slightly serious here, and the ice beads in his palms came with a slight chill that comforted Ahri.
This room looks like a long-abandoned house, and the furnishings on the ground floor have been covered with a lot of dust, not like the place where Kewei lives in his daily life. After looking around and finding nothing out of the ordinary, Ahri looked at the stairs leading upstairs, and after a moment's thought, he walked up cautiously.
Since Ke Wei didn't say any special instructions, he also tacitly agreed that Ahri could move freely and explore.
Ahri carefully walked up the stairs to the second floor, where a window at the end of the corridor reflected a harsh light, and on either side were rooms that looked very differently from the dusty furniture downstairs, as if they were often cleaned.
The sound of water came from a room in the center of the left row, and it was estimated that Ke Wei was taking a bath, and Ahri quietly attached his ear to a room on the right, and after judging that there was no one inside, he carefully and slowly unscrewed the doorknob.
Blue eyes curiously and cautiously probed the room, only to see that the window was tightly covered with cloth, a small bed, a few chairs, a small round table and some simple furnishings.
Ahri quietly walked into the room, there is a small door on the right side of the room is estimated to be the bathroom, there is a faint smell of sweat in the room, some simple cloth clothes and shoes seem to be a man's room, Ahri glanced at a week and left immediately after no longer staying, carefully closed the door.
Ahri then carefully opened a few unlocked doors to check briefly, and did not find too many strange things, when approaching Ke Wei's room, the sound of water in the house was very clear, Ahri estimated that Ke Wei must be tossing her greasy long hair at the moment, so he carefully and slowly went downstairs.
After a while, Ke Wei changed into a loose and clean cloth and walked down the stairs, his previous greasy hair had become clean and smooth, and Ahri sat in his old position and looked at Erlang's legs and looked out of the window carelessly.
"I've kept you waiting, but Ahri won't sit like this all the time, will he?" Ke Wei smiled and returned to his previous position and sat down.
"What is it reasonable for me to do in your words?"
"Curiosity is a normal thing, a curious Vastaya fox is normal, but as you can see, there is nothing special here, just an ordinary resting place."
Ahri's eyes looked at Ke Wei vigilantly, and Ke Wei immediately smiled with relief, "Don't worry about my friend, we are all in a group, as you can see, I like to speak simply and clearly." “
"In that case, when will you go and see the man you call Silas?"
"I'd appreciate it even more if you wanted us to leave immediately, or if you would take a shower and change into a better suit that covers your tail and ears."
"Why didn't you say it before?"
"My stupid brain still needs someone to mention it, the innermost room in the right row upstairs is empty, you can use it." Ke Wei looked at Ahri apologetically, and Ahri ignored the words of this cunning man and pointed to the door, "Let's go directly." ”
"No problem." Ke Wei's expression was not surprised, she got up and led the way with a big grin, and Ahri followed her carefully, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.
Although Ahri has tried to use her magic to probe into this man's memories several times, this is contrary to Ahri's principles now, she is no longer a predator who once only wanted to satisfy her own desires and ignore others, but now she is willing to use her magic to benefit others and find the mystery of her own origins.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was already setting on the horizon, Ahri followed Ke Wei through narrow roads, and after a long time of maneuvering to a tavern, entering the door, Ke Wei and the bartender at the bar glanced at each other and walked with Ahri to the secret place in the tavern, and opened a secret passage to the underground from the floor.
"It's inside, just follow me down."
"How can I trust you? Took me in circles and walked so many ways to finally get here. ”
"Some people are not sincere, so they walk instinctively, as for whether to believe it or not depends on your judgment, I bluntly say that I am sincere."
"That's a pretty word." Ahri looked at Ke Wei who had already gone down with disdain, Ke Wei's expression showed cunning and then helpless, "It's good if the beautiful words have an effect, such as arousing the curiosity of a certain Vastaya fox, and deciding that it will be in your hands, and I will go down first." ”
After Ke Wei went down, Ahri looked at the empty secret passage, and finally grasped the gem and leaned down carefully. After all, this is the only option to continue investigating Ahri. After climbing a long ladder, Ahri touched the ground with her legs, and turned to see a gate in front of her.
Ahri walked over slowly, and then knocked on the door carefully, the door was quickly opened, Ke Wei looked at Ahri with a smile, "Come in." ”
When you enter the door, you will see a lot of tables and chairs, wine glasses, food, and candles. In one corner of the room, two handcuffs made of forbidden magic stones and connected chains were placed, and a muscular man dressed in blue linen walked towards Ahri.
"I'm Silas, and you're Ahri? Ke Wei just told me about you. ”
"Yes."
"Can I really sense that you have a lot of magic and are determined to join us?"
"As long as you are a mage, you can join you regardless of your background?"
"Of course, or the people can too, I am determined to overthrow the power and injustice of Demacia, and our team will surely create a truly equal kingdom."
"But I'm not good at fighting."
"You have such abundant magic, but what special magic is there?"
"Cure heart disease, or tempt people for a short time......"
"It's really special." Silas looked at Ahri with a subtle expression, and after a moment, Silas looked at Ahri seriously, "We have a big plan recently that needs your help. “
"Oh? What is it? ”
"The Dreadnought Vanguard of Demacia is one of the greatest minions and forces of the Empire's magnates, and now the captain of the Dreadnought Vanguard, Galen, is dying, and we need to assassinate him!" Silas looked indifferent, and said something so resolute that Ahri was at a loss for a moment.
"But I'm not good at fighting." Ahri replied innocently, and Silas immediately smiled, "We don't want to kill him openly, but assassinate him at night, but there are some troubles I hope you can help us, which is the first task of joining the team." ”
"Tell me about it."
"Galen's sister, Laxana, is a friend of mine, a very nice girl, and we're worried that Laxana might be there as well as the usual guards."
"So do you want me to help you break the guards away, or keep Laxana at bay?"
"You just have to pretend to be visiting the family members of your loved ones, and then if there's any trouble with Galen, just break them apart and use your charm."
Silas's expression was serious, and some of the mages and Ke Wei around him also looked at Ahri, Ahri already knew their plot, and now there was no way out.
Ahri immediately smiled, "I'm willing to try my best, but I can't guarantee the final result, so I can only promise you what you can do." Silas smiled, "Welcome to my affirmative action puja, Ahri, you're a part of us, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do tonight." ”
Some of the mages around him immediately warmly welcomed Ahri's Cato, who was pushed to the table and sat down to share drinks and delicacies with everyone, seemingly warm and happy, but Ahri's heart was cold.
Only if he agreed to participate in the murder of this plot was he warmly welcomed, and if he refused to get out alive, Ahri could only see the opportunity now, and try not to assist in the murder of Galen, but also to obtain the status and free time of the Affirmative Action Society.
