The crow made a sound, a middle-aged male voice full of magnetism in a majestic voice, even if you listen to it from the tone, you can feel the breath of the superior contained in it.

Caterina could sense that the owner of the voice should be a natural superior.

"Commander, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've been miserable for me in the past few years." Ryan got up with helplessness on his face, and his expression seemed to be facing his boss who was fishing.

"Everything is for the empire, the empire has been occupied by rotten people for too long, and it should be purged." The crow's master had an emotionless indifference in his voice.

Ryan didn't have any special expression when he heard this, he always knew that the other party was a saint.

Yes, his assessment is that he is a saint.

It was a man who gave all his spirit, loyalty, faith, strength to the Empire. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter if it's human, it doesn't matter if it's good or evil, as long as it can continue the future of the empire, the other party is willing to try.

If he blocks the development of the empire, even if it is the current emperor, he will overthrow it.

Ryan stepped over to the crow and stood still, his tone revealing helplessness, "But all I can do is do something here to catch their attention." ”

"That's enough, Ryan, you're in the Immortal Fortress to warn them instead, and everything will go smoothly. As I promised, our empire will surpass the Shurima it once was. The raven continued.

"I've always believed in this with you, but I don't want to be Zeroth." Ryan teased.

"In your eyes, I'm just the tyrant Azir of his own selfish desires?" The raven's tone betrayed a mockery of the name.

Zelas and Azir were the pinnacle rulers of the ancient Shurima period, with Zelas studying magic and Azir wanting to make himself a great Ascendant, a transcendent being.

In the end, because of Azir's eagerness, Zelas found an opportunity to betray Azir and wanted to become the Ascended in his place. But according to information Noxus received from the Immortal Citadel...

Both Zelath and Azir failed, and eventually perished along with the Shurima Empire, once powerful enough to rule the Runeterra.

"You're far better than Azir, I've always thought so." Ryan smiled, "You are here today, I think you have some orders. ”

"I've been secretly watching every corner of the Empire, and today a powerful energy collision has been triggered here, and it just so happens that I have sensed traces of your magic."

"It should have been Hextech that caused the aftermath, I released the water curtain to block the shockwave, otherwise I would have to sleep in the square outside." Ryan's shoulders shrugged slightly.

"Don't let yourself get into comfort, our days in Presidium were much harder than this."

The crow preached, and then returned to the topic:

"Is that the Hextech you described in your letter? What they've researched is already comparable to Skin's augmentation technology. The Victor you mentioned is indeed a genius, and I will push him to build the factory he wants, and in a month he will be able to see our sincerity. ”

"Leather City Enhancement Technology? What is it? Piltover's hidden powers? ”

Ryan was a little surprised, he hadn't seen this from Noxus' intelligence. The strongest defense system in Picheng today should only be the H-28Q cutting-edge battery that fires fireballs today.

"It's normal that you don't know, it's a secret study carried out by the Firos family, the richest man in Picheng."

"The Philos family, the head of the family is Stivan." Ryan said without thinking, "I've met him once, he's sickly and has a strong desire to control power. From the look in his eyes, I could feel the desire for power, and he should not have a strong grasp of power himself. ”

"He's just a puppet. The real ruler of Philos is named Camille, who was transferred out of Piltover by the Empire a few years ago, threatening her with her life with Piltover and her family. But with today's incident, you should be able to see her soon. ”

"It sounds like the actions of those people in the Immortal Fortress, but to be so valued by the Empire, what she is responsible for should not be weak."

Ryan had a shallow smile on his face, and he didn't have the slightest sense of causing trouble for the Empire.

"She's in charge of monitoring Ionia's movements, she's a perfect and sophisticated machine, and the Empire needs someone like her." "But her heart is on Piltover and her family, and she only wants to keep the old rules, but the pattern is too small." ”

"Not many people have the kind of consciousness you have, Lord, we're all mortals." Ryan laughed and teased, "I know what I should do, in a few days my letter for help should be on the table of His Majesty the Emperor, without the Hexfly Gate, His Majesty's quest for the elixir of life would have slowed down too much." ”

"Watch yourself and be careful. The Empire needs you for the next 10,000 years, Ryan! ”

As the crow spoke, its body began to spontaneously combust, enveloping it in crimson flames, and in a few moments it was burned to ashes, leaving a wooden frame with a little charred marks.

After the crow disappeared, Ryan shook his head disapprovingly and muttered to himself:

"Commander, ten thousand years is really embarrassing for me. However, it seems that it is not bad to leave a mark in the history of Noxus and Runeterra. ”

After sighing, he turned his head to Caterina and asked with a smile:

"He's the founder of Trevary, how do you feel about this top boss?"

Caterina didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while before she said with a serious face: "As an Imperial, I think I can see hope with him. ”

"yes, hopefully. He is both absolutely rational and absolutely emotional. Thinking rationally about everything is like a tireless machine. Sensual throws everything into the empire, just for that best Noxus. Ryan sighed.

Katerina's hidden eyes flickered a few times, thinking about the conversation between Ryan and the raven just now.

The other party and others are obviously planning how to rebel and overthrow the current emperor.

However, she herself was a little surprised, she didn't even have any sense of resistance, but had some expectations in her heart.

Noxus has complained in recent years because of the absurdity of the emperor, and it seems good that someone can stand up on behalf of the empire now.

And she herself is a kind of honor to be able to join this process.

Anyway, it won't involve his father who abandoned his daughter, and it won't involve the innocent family and the poor sister and mother among them. It seems like a good idea to give it a try.

"Miss Katerina."

Ryan looked at Katerina's face that loomed in the shadows, and suddenly smiled and said:

"What is the most important thing about an assassin?"

"Speed, and sharp blades!" Caterina said without hesitation.

"Now, then, learn how to use magic to increase speed and blades, I think you'll have this talent." Ryan gestured to the bookshelf behind him.

"You're going to teach me magic?" Caterina said unexpectedly.

"Magic can't be taught, but runes and some tricks can make you stronger. The empire is going to be windy, and you need to get stronger. ”

"I will be the sharpest blade in your hand, Your Excellency!" Caterina fell to her knees with sincerity.

Ryan took down a black scroll from the bookshelf behind him, which he had only taken out of his bag a few days ago, and was a self-transcribed version of the Noxus Collection:

"From a cult of Ionia, it tells some spatial tricks, using magic items or magic to communicate the magical energy of the Runeterra, so that it can instantly appear behind the enemy. You can take a look first, if you don't understand, you can ask me, the magic props will arrive in two days. ”

"Thank you for your gift, I will not disappoint your expectations!"
