The time must be stuck within three minutes.

Waving her hand to let the attendant leave, the girl sat in front of the luxurious crystal glass mirror, first put the twelve magic steel flying knives as thin as cicada wings in the scabbard at the base of her thighs and locked them tightly, and after confirming that there would be no problems, the girl put down her skirt to cover her flawless round thighs, and dressed herself with a blank face.

Compared with the usual hasty things and the makeover in the task, this time the girl deliberately spent some unnecessary effort on her face, or took two more minutes to tidy up her appearance, which is actually not necessary, but this time the situation is completely different from usual.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Her master, Sheena, deliberately confessed to her to obey and please another man, and this man was none other than the legend of the Jerest family, the first Demon Lord, who had chosen the ancestor Maurice, and was as immortal as a god.

Determined to take the ancestor Morris as an example for his life since he was a child, Kelsey, who inherited the glory of the Jade Leader Jerlister family, felt the inner Ji for the first time in his life, which was a primitive desire beyond reason, eager to follow his master to make achievements, fight in all directions, kill all enemies who hinder the path of the Jade Leader with the glorious magic steel weapon in his hand, and make himself a conspicuous mark on the immortal monument, leaving it in the vault of the ancient castle waiting for future generations to admire.

In order to follow in the footsteps of her ancestor Maurice, she had been training to the best of her ability, until she became a qualified Night Blade Assassin, and she realized the top secret hidden beneath the Assassin Castle, that is, the current Emerald Lord is the woman of the original Demon Lord, and the creator of Night Blade is someone else.

When completing various tasks, she always tirelessly searched for any clues about the founder of the Night Blade, but unfortunately, even after becoming a high-level assassin, the Night Blade organization did not provide her with any valuable information, only one thing is certain, that is, the Night Blade, the founder of the Emerald Lord, Lyist, is still alive in this world and will one day regain the throne.

His thoughts stopped abruptly, Kelsey looked at the cold and beautiful girl in the mirror, and when he didn't show a smile, this face that fascinated countless people was a little less friendly and gentle, too cold and stern.

The long black hair in the middle hangs down from the sides of the cheeks and is level with the chin, and under the fluffy and thick bangs in front of the forehead are a pair of blue apricot eyes like Freljord ice jade, the slightly cold willow eyebrows are slightly raised, and the half-squinted eyes are refracted from the mirror like a knife, giving people a feeling of being too serious and serious.

Pursing her red lips, the girl let the corners of her mouth slowly curle, revealing the most perfect arc.

It's not that she can't laugh, she just doesn't like to laugh, if she wants, she can laugh more relatable than anyone else, any expression is just a disguise to complete the task, in the disguised assassination technique, she has already reached the realm, but on the way to power, she has just started,

She still has a long way to go to take charge of the Night's Blade like the Morris Ancestors, and to pull Fred, the leader of the Night's Blade, from the throne of commander.

Thinking back to the handsome man who was not much older than himself, Kelsey Jereist slowly closed his eyes and sorted out some impetuous emotions, even the breathing method handed down by the family could not suppress the seasonal movement in his heart at this moment.

She hadn't seen her for many days, and she waited for a proclamation again.

When she opened her eyes again, the edge had faded, and the girl stood up almost perfectly and left the room.

……

"Dongdong, Master Liszt, I'm Kelsey."

There was a knock on the door, and the voice of a descendant of the Morris family came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Lyste buried his head in eucalyptus without looking back, reviewing and sorting out Zu'an's complex power relations today.

In fact, this is also the reason why he summoned Kelsey, this time he came to Zaun not only to find Heimerdinger and investigate the void movements under Zaum, but also to lay out in advance in Zaun, and the ability to organize information is the best ability of the eldest daughter of the Jerester family,

There is no shortage of excellent killer assassins in the Night Blade, but there are few intelligence masters who can extract the key points in the clueless information at a glance, which is also an important reason why Sheena focuses on cultivating Kelsey, under the rule of Sheena, although the new generation of the old nobility will receive certain preferential treatment, but it cannot fundamentally affect the important power components of the Emerald Collar, for now, the rules of the Emerald Collar are still the capable, and the guys who are not up to standard will always be kicked down.

As for the world rune fragments, there is no change in the current rune crystal disk, considering that most of the rune fragments are hidden in the underground world, Lyster can only wait patiently for the rune fragments to appear in the world by themselves, and it is somewhat impractical to mobilize the power of the Emerald Collar to find the rune fragments.

While Lyster was thinking, Kelsey had gently pushed open the unlocked magic-patterned steel door, and the girl first bowed to Lyster with a Noxian lady's salute before slowly closing the door, and took a few steps forward to stand aside, her eyes swept over the white-faced horned owl on Ster's shoulder.

If she guessed correctly, the white-faced horned owl was a fog-tailed killer, as ordinary white-faced horned owls simply didn't qualify to be in this room.

"Master Liszt."

Finally took his attention away from the document and looked at it slightly, Lyist nodded at the well-dressed girl, I didn't expect the thick-eyed Morris to have such an excellent descendant, it seems that the Jerlister family has been genetically optimized in the past few hundred years.

"Sit down, the tea has been washed, taste the tea I made, it was brewed eight minutes ago, and the temperature should be just right now."

Sitting across the table according to Lyster's instructions, Kelsey picked up the teacup and took a sip, the temperature was really not hot or cold, and the tumbling tea leaves washed out all the aroma of the tea, and drank it in small sips, lingering in the throat first bitter and then fragrant.

When Kelsey, who was peeking at him, put down his glass, Lyist asked with a smile.

"How does it taste? Relax, don't be so nervous, just treat me as your friend. ”

"Yes."

Kelsey, who tensed up, nodded and spoke cautiously.

"Master Liszt, I have drunk three flavors of this cup of tea, bitter, fragrant, and a feeling that I cannot understand, and your tea ceremony has exceeded my understanding...... I'm sorry, but my knowledge is too shallow, and I make you laugh. ”

Hearing Kelsey say this, Lyster's gaze couldn't help but soften a little.

The girl in front of her read his thoughts about Soraka from the fragrance of tea, and although she couldn't describe it exactly, she was sharp enough.

"Among your peers, you are already very good, the children of the Jerlister family, you don't need to be presumptuous in front of me, whether you are excellent or not, I will judge for myself."

"Yes."

I don't know if my words made Lyster dissatisfied, Kelsey didn't dare to say more.

Lyist also turned his attention back to the intelligence on the eucalyptus table.

"Tell me about Zaun's current situation."

"Yes, Lord Liszt, Zaun is currently in the most critical period, the narrow sea lanes are no longer able to meet the increasingly prosperous maritime trade, especially after the usefulness of gunpowder in war was discovered by Noxus, one of the mechanics of Zaun invented the first rifle with gunpowder, so that the Zaun people have a strong defensive ......"

Over the course of the next hour, Lyster got a rough idea of what was going on in Zaun from Kelsey's account.

To put it simply, more than a dozen merchant families evolved from the [Shurima Caravan Alliance] successfully took root in Zu'an, and after a long period of development and game, under the rules of stability, the sprouts of science and reason began to take root in the land of Zu'an, and thrived without magic and extraordinary powers.

Establish a Faculty of Science, hold regular science and technology exhibitions and conferences, and set up specific science and technology test fields...... By all means, the people of Zaun no longer relied on magic and gods, and began to change their minds in pursuit of science and reason.

The peaceful and stable research environment attracts many inventors and scientists who are eager for academic exchanges, and the businessmen profit from the research and development of technology and inventions by investing in these valuable talents who have no brains but lack resources, and the inventors also make a name for themselves abroad through their inventions, establish their own families, and ultimately achieve a win-win result.

Steamships, internal combustion engines, mechanical workshops...... Hidden behind the shadowless assassinations and secret games, one by one advanced inventions were born in Zu'an, and it is still impossible to describe Zu'an who is on the fast track with each passing day, and even some of the Zu'an people claim to be a high-level civilization in the land of runes.

The large amount of accumulated wealth completely changed the original barbaric rules of Zu'an, allowing the merchant forces of Zu'an to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, and most of the research results will be secretly shared among the major forces through the results of the game, and no fool would think of monopolizing this land full of treasures and opportunities by force.

Any force that wants to monopolize Zaun will seriously affect Zaun's stable wealth and technological output, which is why even Noxus cannot dominate here, not to mention that the territory of Noxus has not yet extended to the south of the Valoran continent, and Noxus, which is at war with the Duchy of Valkux, has no time to take care of anything else.

Including several families supported by Noxus and Emerald Collar, many merchant families have the shadow of a certain country or secret force behind them, each force can only increase its influence by supporting local or foreign families, and the end of using brute force to destroy the order and rules is to be expelled from the chess game by all chess players, and cannot continue to obtain Zu'an's new technological achievements through orderly operation.

It is precisely because of the seemingly fragile but unusually stable peace that in the war-torn land of rune, Zu'an, which is located at the military and transportation hub, has strangely been given the opportunity to accelerate its development.

The merchant alliance that once controlled Zu'an also formed a new ruling body [Zu'an Council], which is divided into chairman seats and deputy seats, the former is backed by large countries and powerful forces, and holds the real voice of Zu'an, and the latter is for those inventors or big businessmen who have no background and rely on wealth accumulation to gain status.

Today, Zaun's class barriers are almost non-existent, and anyone with a savvy or business talent has a chance to become a master of Zaun through cross-continental trade or the invention of a technology that has never been seen before.

With the improvement of science and technology, larger tonnage ocean-going trading ships have become a new force at sea, and the narrow strait, which was originally only a few hundred meters, has seriously hindered the further development of Zuan.

The existing port could not match the larger tonnage and larger number of large ships, and in order to expand the shipping channel and build a larger trading port, the Zuan Council decided to carry out a large-scale blasting on the Zuan Isthmus with enough chemical bombs through public deliberation.

In the eyes of most Zu'an people, as long as they blow up those annoying stones with bombs, they can make their pockets bulge again, and eat the development dividends of the times, whether it is a red-faced peddler pawn or a graceful gentleman and lady, the civilized Zu'an people who don't know what poverty is naturally will not have any objection, but raise their hands to support, and they can't wait to see tomorrow the first line of the Zu'an Strait become a place of ruins that embraces all rivers, so that the cornucopia opens its greedy mouth and swallows all the wealth of the world into its belly.

Although the [Demolition of the Isthmus] is only a project that has just been implemented and is still looking for Party B in the [Bidding] stage, the Zuan Council acted very quickly, and decided to hold a technical seminar at the [Fred Institute of Science and Technology], and wait until the seminar is over to deliver the project start-up funds and arrange for the winning bidder to complete the blasting work of the isthmus.

The Adrian family, supported by the Emerald Collar, is a big merchant family that has the recipe for the Emerald Collar's explosives and is ready to participate in the bidding, but unfortunately, there have been some problems within this family in recent months.

Just three months ago, Christopher Adrian, the head of the family, died in an accidental car accident, and after the mourning, Adrian's position as head of the family was inherited by Christopher's younger brother Partridge, and then the Adrian family's monthly account to the Emerald Collar had some 'small problems', compared to before, the return of funds to the Emerald Collar decreased by 15%, and the attitude changed from smiling to not salty and unsavory at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the envoys sent by the Emerald Collar sat on the cold bench.

There is no doubt that this behavior is a slap in the face of the Emerald Collar.

Lyster knew that even if he didn't come this time, whether it was Kelsey or not, Sheena would send hardliners to the technical seminar, not for anything else, just to let Partridge Adrian know who was the real master of the Adrian family.

However, he didn't expect that Sheena directly sent the new generation of high-level assassins of the Night Blade, Kelsey Jereist, who once led a four-person assassination team to assassinate a ruthless character of a hundred-man warband on the battlefield of Northland, and killed dozens of armed soldiers head-on.

With a plan in mind, Lyster looked at Kelsey with some curiosity.

"Kelsey, if this matter were left to you, what would you do?"
