"If that's all there is to it, I'll help you relay the message to the general." After listening to Kael'thas's words, Darius thought about it, took the strange codex from the air, and then carefully put it away—the value of this thing goes without saying, anyone can see it.

It must be worth a lot of money as an exchange between someone of the level of Svein and Kael'thas and that it is so solemn. And Li Qing, as a person who understands the background story, knows what it is as soon as he sees the huge word "ghost" on the codex.

Molore's secret book of evil arts, another relic of the world-destroying mage Molore, it looks like this is not only a piece of equipment, but it should also record some of Molore's experience of spells.

This can be said to be a relic of the gods, Li Qing wanted to know what Karthhas exchanged for this thing, and he was also very puzzled why such an ancient undead would call Svein "old guy", because even if Svein was more than a hundred years old, he was still a little small compared to the undead in front of him.

This made Li Qing wonder if there were powerful mages in this world who could be reborn.

After all, Svein appeared suddenly in the recorded identity, there was no such person before, and then he appeared so suddenly. And when he appeared, he was incredibly powerful, and it only took him a few decades to become the brain of the most powerful empire in the entire Big 6.

This is a bit too dreamy, after all, the strongest person in any high martial arts world is immortal. And after listening to Karthas's words today, Li Qing finally solved the doubts in his heart - Svein is deeper and more complex than it appears on the surface.

In the League of Legends setting, many powerful mages have lived very long ago - such as another representative of Noxus, the sorcering queen LeBlan, who has lived from the time of the First Rune War to the present, and is the leader of the Black Rose Order. If Svein is the king of Noxus on the surface, LeBlanc is the underground king of Noxus, wielding countless mages and sorcery, as well as several huge noble families.

The strongest can have the longest lifespan in this world - just like the white eyebrows in Shu Mountain and the Hell Demon King in the darkness.

While Li Qing was calculating Svein's true identity, Karthas and Darius over there also completed negotiations, and after accepting the secret tome, Karthas unlocked the prohibition on everyone, and then disappeared into darkness as if he appeared.

There was no mud and water at all, not even a word of farewell, and the long life did not bring any sense of drag to this powerful undead, and it was still so resolute.

And the army of the undead who appeared with them, after seeing Karthas leave, also made way for everyone - the only purpose of their appearance was to let everyone see how elite the army of the undead was, and to prove how highly credible the words of the powerful undead were.

Seeing that the army of the undead got out of the way, Darius and Li Qing didn't have a word of nonsense, it was really uncomfortable to feel like a knife warrior here, Li Qingxun returned to the carriage, and then everyone left here quickly.

After such a great storm on the road, there was no wind and rain on the road for the next hundred kilometers, and everyone walked all the way, and after dawn, they finally passed through this place where the fog had condensed, and saw the light again.

Leaving the Howling Wetlands, everyone breathed a sigh of relief—no more decaying creatures around, no more disturbing howls in their ears, and finally a clear ground.

And only then did the voice of the old witch doctor come from inside the carriage.

"Scared me to death, half of my life was scared away, what was that just now, there are still such powerful undead in this world?" The feeling of oppression brought by Karthus continued to make people's hearts palpitate even after the group left the howling wetlands, and the old witch doctor muttered, "And what is that book, I really want to see it, maybe it contains some particularly powerful spells." ”

"I want to see it too." Talking about the secret codex, Li Qing's thoughts at this time were the same as the old witch doctor, "It's a pity that there must be a ban on that thing, I think except for someone as powerful as General Svein, it is estimated that no one can open it, otherwise do you think he will rest assured that he will be handed over to us?" ”

"That's just as well!" The old witch doctor sighed.

After the carriage convoy crossed the Howling Wetlands, the road ahead was relatively smooth - after all, after passing through the Howling Wetlands, it had completely left the territory of Demacia, and the wetlands were bordered by a large plain to the east and a huge Iron Ridge Mountain Range to the north, and there were no other great forces except the War College to the south.

And the War College is perennially neutral, and it is impossible to stop this convoy, so everyone is truly out of danger.

On the great plain, the people rested only once, and replenished some water, and during the six or seven hours they crossed the plain, the only trouble they encountered was a group of robbers of forty or fifty men, who dared to rob even a small convoy of troops because of the number of people, and after being slain by the three swords of Darius, twelve men, the poor bandits, who had no eyes, fled in all directions - without any righteousness, and did not even pick up the bodies of their companions.

Then everyone returned to Noxus without wind and waves, and the convoy did not stop in the surrounding towns or cities, and went straight to the capital of Noxus.

The rest of the journey, Li Qing spent the carriage boringly.

At dusk, when the horses of the team were almost tired to foaming at the mouth, he finally saw the most magnificent human city on the Big 6 under the afterglow of the sunset.

Noxus is the largest, the harshest, and the most powerful city that influences the movements of the entire Big 6 government.

From a distance, the massive city stands on a huge granite mountain range, and the texture of the buildings is cold and hard. The buildings of the whole city rise to the top of the mountain, and the highest point of the city is a huge hall in the shape of a skull, which looks like a skull from a distance.

That is the supreme military and political department of Noxus, the Supreme High Command. In Noxus, the military controls all aspects of the political territory, the military and the political are not separated at all, and the high command controls a qiē, which is a military state through and through.

Being in the High Command means that you are at the pinnacle of power in the whole of Noxus - there are very few people in the High Command who can make decisions, only a few generals and a few military councilors - of course, the final decision-maker will be General Svein.

In the countless years since the founding of Noxus, there have been only two rulers - the first was Darkwell and the second was Svein.

Darkwell was the supreme ruler of Noxus before Gavin I, and he was also a peerless powerhouse with eternal youth, but later died for unknown reasons, and Svein was crowned a general.

Glancing at the "Skull Hall" at the highest peak of the entire city from a distance, Li Qing watched the carriage gradually approach this huge city, and then as soon as he approached the city, he smelled a strong smell of chemicals.

"Get off the train, you have to go through the city gate, and there can be no one in the carriage." The old witch doctor consciously got out of the carriage before and after the convoy came to the city, Li Qing listened to his words, and after following him out of the car, he also saw the source of the pungent smell.

The city of Noxus is attached to the mountain, and under the mountain is a huge artificial moat, the clear water in the river does not know what witchcraft potion has been put in, the whole is a kind of turquoise, just smell the smell can guess that if people fall, there must be no bones.

The whole river is tens of meters wide, and the only way to enter the city is to pass through the huge steel gate of Guò, which is now lowered, and the steel body is erected into a drawbridge, on which pedestrians come and go, and everyone who goes out of the city and enters the city has to go through a strict check.

The passage of the city gate was very wide, but it was still crowded, and after Darius came here with his team, he directly pushed away the crowded crowd in front of him, and shouted: "Military priorities, all avoid!" ”

In Noxus, power is supreme, soldiers are naturally superior, and officers, especially those at the rank of corps commander, are real people, after Darius roared, the crowd in front of him consciously avoided all those who heard the sound, and those who didn't hear it in the distance automatically avoided it when they saw the people behind them, and they all separated from each other. In this way, the convoy entered the city gate without hindrance, led by Darius.

And Li Qing also saw the military empire, the powerful hierarchy.

Entering the city gate, after a brief examination by the soldiers, the city gate soldiers saw Galen in the carriage, although the soldiers did not know Galen's appearance, but as Noxians, they were too familiar with the symbol of the brave and fearless legion, so after seeing this, they quickly let go, and even one or two communication soldiers left here.

It was clear that they were going to inform their superiors of the news.

But Darius ignored these procedures, and after passing through the city gate, he mounted his horse and led the convoy straight up the foot of the hill at the city gate, and after passing through countless winding roads, he came to the top of the whole city - standing in front of the gate of the high command.

"Soldiers at the rank of corps commander are not allowed to go up to this place." After coming here, Darius was stopped by two people, two people, a man and a woman, both equipped with a strange short knife, the man's expression was very cold, but the woman was a cynical and confused goddess, seeing Darius coming, the woman laughed at him, while throwing her own knife in the palm of her hand, as if she was throwing a proud toy.

"You two get out of the way, I have something important to report to the general!" Darius was stopped by the two of them, looking very displeased, and it was obvious that he had a gap with the two in front of him before.

"Haha, what if I say don't get out of the way?" The woman was not afraid of Darius, but continued to laugh at him, "Is it possible to chop me to death with an axe?" Eh, by the way, where's your axe? Haha, how did you switch to a sword? ”

"I said, I have military priorities, delay military affairs, in Noxus, even if you are the general's daughter, you will still be beheaded in public!" Darius looked at the woman in front of him, "Are you right, Caterina?" ”
