Noxus Empire, on the Conqueror's Square of the Immortal Fortress, a row of dummy stakes and a hundred-meter arrow target are displayed at the base of the wall,

The Imperial Task Force Recruiter is recording information about the arrivals, and only by passing the impromptu test in the square can they be eligible to join the Dragon Island Expeditionary Force and become a part of the Dragon Slayer.

In an aristocratic carriage parked outside the square, Cromwell closed the window and sighed softly.

The coachman began to wave his whip and drive the horse forward.

"Alas, I actually want to attack the dragon, and I don't know how many people will die in this expeditionary empire...... The Archon is already completely insane, and I'm afraid it's not too late for me to doom. ”

The beautiful woman sitting opposite the melancholy man was wearing a black robe with a rose tattooed on the neckline, and seeing the man's decadent appearance, the woman gently took Cromwell's pale hand,

This cold hand did not have the warmth that ordinary people have, and the female mage knew that this was a heavy price to pay for fighting against the years.

"At least you still have today, Cromwell, and you should think about how to please Lord Vladimir and let him let you go."

The mage's hoarse voice revealed a deep concern, and Cromwell covered the woman's right hand with his other hand and shook his head.

"It's useless, Samantha, it's useless......

Lord Vladimir often forgets the past, and the way he forgets the past is by erasing it with his own hands, and in his opinion, only ending his own past with his own hands can be worthy of his melancholy and beauty, as well as the art of his years, and it is useless to beg for mercy and please, unless Lord Vladimir himself decides to go against the rules he has made...... And this happens to be the least likely thing to happen. ”

After a pause, the female mage asked again.

"So, are you Lord Vladimir's past?"

"No, I am the past of Grand Commander Burnham Darkwell, from the day Commander Burnham accepted the scarlet sacrifice, I have become Lord Vladimir's eyeliner, and my mission is to follow Lord Burnham, spy on Lord Burnham, and tell Lord Vladimir everything about Lord Burnham, from the day I was born to the day I died......

Samantha, or let's leave Noxus together, I already have a way to get rid of the blood oath, go to Ionia, go to Shurima, leave here, and start a new life. ”

In the man's expectant gaze, the female mage lowered her eyes and whispered.

“…… It's useless, Cromwell, even if you can escape, Lord Vladimir chooses to let you go, but Black Rose will never let me go,

I will die at the hands of the Enforcement Corps, unlike your Crimson Society, the Black Rose has countless ways to find the betrayer, unless we live in a no-man's corner for the rest of our lives, in those mountains or deep valleys, or one day, the Black Rose's Law Enforcement Corps will find us and use their soul magic to make us into magical golems. ”

The soundproof carriage that stood tall above continued to move forward under the envious gaze of the Noxians, but the atmosphere inside the carriage stiffened to freezing low.

"Yes, even if we run, where can we run...... What is the point of not having the power and power of freedom......"

Samantha looked out the window at the respectful eyes and sighed.

“…… After all, it is a little better than those mortals who know nothing but are about to die. ”

"That's all, maybe dying on Dragon Island with the dream of slaying dragons with longing is happier than living a struggling life......"

The carriage drove out of the square, turned the street,

In the calm, a man in an old-fashioned black rose robe brushed past the carriage, and the tall man alerted Samantha.

If she remembered correctly, the black rose robe had been overhauled and discarded more than four hundred years ago, not only with an enchantment that could freely absorb magical elements to regulate temperature, but also with some magic resistance.

"Stop!"

Samantha said loudly, startling the coachman, and hurriedly reined in the horse's bridle, and he couldn't afford to provoke any of the two people behind him.

Following Samas's gaze, Cromwell also saw the tall man who was about to disappear at the end of the crowd.

"What's wrong? Such a big reaction? It's not like you. ”

Shaking her head, Samantha said with a serious expression.

"That man, he is wearing the old black rose robe, and all the mages of the black rose have changed to the new robe hundreds of years ago, no one can go out in the old robe, this is a serious violation of the law of the black rose, not to mention, I can't feel any elemental fluctuations in his body."

Cromwell was a little confused.

"What does that mean? There are always some mages who like to stay in a corner where no one cares about practicing magic, maybe he is the kind of mage who is escapist, and you black roses can not use your contribution to get out of bondage? ”

"You have a point, but I have to make sure that whoever catches the betrayer out there is a huge credit to Black Rose, and maybe I'll be able to accumulate enough to contribute to the loss of Black Rose."

"Well, okay, I'll go with you."

After the discussion, Samantha and Cromwell disembarked from the carriage one after the other and hurried after the man who was weaving through the crowd.

Noticing the two uninvited guests behind him, the man in the hood also quickened his pace, took the initiative to come to a small alley, and stood still.

Stopping the man with Cromwell, Samantha raised her right hand and was ready to cast a spell at any time, and said coldly.

"Who are you? How come I've never seen you? ”

"Of course you haven't met me, Black Rose child, Noxus was just being established when I joined Black Rose."

With a magnetic voice, the man put down his hood, and a black-haired young man with a cold and handsome face appeared in front of the two of them, Samantha was stunned, compared with the black-haired youth, Cromwell, who also had an extraordinary appearance and temperament, was like a sick seedling that had no vitality and could only suck blood all day long, and suddenly lost all its attractiveness.

Fortunately, Samantha's concentration is also extraordinary, and the female mage has used her secret relationship with Cromwell for more than 100 years to suppress what can be called frivolous and debauched, rebellious and loyal ideas.

Naturally, he didn't know that the black rose female mage who wanted to elope betrayed him for a moment, and Cromwell was also shocked.

"How is that possible? How could anyone live that long!? ”

"Lady Pale is okay, Blood Ancestor Vladimir is okay, even Burnham and you can, tell me, child, why can't I?"

The men are named one by one, and their tone is as if the person in their mouth is just a small role that is not worth mentioning.

Dumbfounded and unable to describe Cromwell's mood at the moment, he couldn't imagine who was the saint of such a loud voice, and Commander Burnham and himself didn't even take the Pale Witch and the Blood Ancestor Vladimir in their eyes.

This is the Noxian Empire, the territory of the Black Rose and the Scarlet Society, is this man too arrogant to talk like this?

"Dare to casually talk about the Pale Lady and the Blood Ancestor, who are you? If you don't say it, don't blame me! ”

Samantha, who was alert, began to construct a rune formation, and was about to cast a spell to trap the man's female mage first, but heard a crisp sword sound, and in the next second, the man turned into an afterimage and disappeared, and the long knife as bright as blood cut through the sky, piercing the rune array that was about to take shape in a way that he couldn't understand, and the tip of the sword was only a few centimeters away from his palm.

Before the female mage could be frightened, she saw the man's wrist turn, the blade was about fifteen degrees, the vibrating blade began to stir, and a broken hair fell from Samantha's left ear, and was caught casually by the man with eyes like water.

The man took a step back, put the knife into the sheath with one hand, sniffed the severed hair under his nose for a moment, and said softly.

"The smell of jasmine is rare, it seems that you often take a bath with jasmine, the taste is good, and your boyfriend is blessed."

"You...... What are you talking about!? Who, who bathed in jasmine......"

The scene of her bathing was casually exposed by the man, and Samantha, who blushed with shame, took two steps back and stretched out her hand to block her chest, but she could no longer afford to cast a spell to fight.

Cromwell on the side finally reacted, his pale face first whitened with fear from the deadly threat posed by the scarlet long knife, then an inhuman white face bubbling green, and the hot-headed man stepped across the step and stood in front of the female mage hostilely, not knowing what to do.

He couldn't see the man's knife action just now, and he didn't expect the man to actually break through the ethereal rune magic circle with one sword, the difference in strength was too big, and he was not sure if he really let him do it.

Cromwell, who opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, closed his mouth angrily again, and it would be even more embarrassing if he was slapped in the face if he spoke harshly.

"Child, the amplification circle in your hand is what I created, you shouldn't think about doing it in front of me, let alone use the amplification circle against me, and the third magic node of your amplification circle is redundant, directly link the second node to the twenty-eighth node of the Thorn of Thorns Circle, and the fourth node is linked to the eighth node of the Gathering Array, which can reduce your casting time by one second."

As the man's words fell, Cromwell felt like he was being pushed away, like an inconsequential passerby.

"Who am I, and where am I? What am I going to do? ”

After the stupor, the heart cracked like broken glass, and Cromwell, who was bursting with his mind, forgot about his entanglement and fear, and watched in a daze as the woman he had decided to protect with his life came to his enemies defenselessly, revealing a look of disbelief adoration.

"Senior, can you tell me your name?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I was called Lyster when I was studying at the Black Rose Mage Academy."

Her eyes began to twinkle with little stars, and Samantha cheered out in surprise, and enthusiastically hugged Lyist's left arm, so that Lyster's left arm bag was sandwiched in the middle of the cushion, unable to move.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

"Sure enough, it's you!

Known as the legendary mage of the [His Royal Highness the Ice Prince], Lyist! Wanderer of the Polar Ice Abyss! Frost and Snow Butcher of the North Sea! You're still alive! ”

Lyist's embarrassed smile froze.

As he said, is it better to die if you don't live? And what the hell is the title of His Royal Highness the Ice Prince?

"I never dreamed of seeing you one day! I see! It's no wonder I can't feel any mana fluctuations in you, it's because my strength is so low, I'm afraid you've become a magic master......

Oh my God, I was so overwhelmed that I was going to take action against a legendary magic master! Moreover, His Royal Highness the Prince of Ice, what is the matter with your swordsmanship, can it be said that your swordsmanship has also reached the realm of a grandmaster?

God above, is there really a person in this world who is as perfect as you? How did you get over the years? I heard that you have many girlfriends, and you have been entangled with many female mages with black roses during your time at the academy, and a dozen teenage mages and dozens of magical female tutors have aborted for you, and you are so ruthless and loyal, you even saved a female mage with a fallen soul......"

Seeing that he had been entangled by a female mage who was suspected of being a brainless fan, and that the female mage's male companion was about to turn around and leave like a man of broken glass, Lyist hurriedly pulled out his left arm, stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Cromwell.

"She's your female companion, isn't she? You let her calm down, huh? ”

Cromwell smiled miserably, and looked into the distant sky in despair.

The white clouds want to wrap the sun, what is the matter with the blue sky?

"Female companion? Calm down?? No, it's gone, it's Lyist, I'm gone, she's yours. ”

"You're still not a man? The slightest frustration and choose to give up? Take your responsibilities and responsibilities? ”

Holding Cromwell's shoulder, Lyster's warm life energy involuntarily transmitted to Cromwell's cold body, allowing him to suddenly regain the warmth of life.

He hadn't felt this way for hundreds of years since he had become a half-dead monster, and when he came back to his senses and looked at the handsome man named Lyster, Cromwell only felt his heart beat faster and his stiff body gradually softer.

"Hmm~Hmm~"

Lyster was stunned, shuddered, and took a half step back.

"What's the matter with you little brother?"

"You~oh~ Hmm, I'm sorry...... Your Royal Highness the Ice Prince, I have never felt like this...... It made me forget who I was and how I ...... gender."

"What the Ice Prince...... You're starting to go crazy too? ”

Cromwell, who was a little reluctant to let go like an electric shock, was cold, and Lyster shook his hand and took two steps back as if he had touched something dirty, and was just hugged by the female mage who came up, and a man and a woman attacked back and forth, which was much more terrible than casting a spell just now to block the road.

To be honest, he was really fed up with these two inexplicable guys, but he wanted to find a black rose mage to take him to meet LeBlanc's doppelganger, but he didn't expect to run into such two living treasures.

"Enough! Speak well! Otherwise, I'll ...... I'm leaving! Ignore you! ”

Lyster had no choice but to make this decision, but these words made Cromwell and Samantha panic.

"You say! As long as you don't hate us, we'll do it! ”
