"Yes."

Lu Qi nodded and didn't say anything more.

The scene fell silent for a while, and Caterina suddenly said: "I have had no feelings with him since I was a child, and I have almost died because of him on several occasions, and after a failed mission, he did not hesitate to send assassins to assassinate me. I was in a near-death situation with him. ”

Caterina didn't know why she was suddenly saying this, as if she wanted to show that she wasn't a cold-blooded person.

Lu Qi looked into her eyes, and a smile appeared in his calm eyes: "I know, congratulations on getting rid of the nightmare." ”

Caterina was stunned.

When this guy laughs, his eyes seem to have a kind of magic, which is particularly beautiful.

She looked away, subconsciously not daring to take another look.

I don't know why, but she was in a mess at this moment.

Man is such a strange creature.

Obviously, she couldn't be idle for a moment before, thinking about leaving as soon as possible, but now she couldn't say a word.

When I really arrived at this time, I was a little reluctant.

Lu Qi said at this time: "Now that the matter is settled, let's not stay for a few more days." ”

"Okay, then stay a few more days!" Caterina replied without hesitation, and her reaction was much faster than before.

After saying this, her heart suddenly became steady.

She really couldn't bear to be here, and wanted to stay a few more days.

Even if you don't do anything for the past few days, just like this guy, you often lie in that rocking chair in a daze.

Anyway, everything that came this time was solved, and it wasn't bad for a few days.

Thinking like this, Caterina was inexplicably relaxed. I couldn't help but turn my eyes to look at Lu Qi again, and at this time I could see his side face, looking up at the bright moon slightly, the moonlight was falling, for some reason, there was a kind of quiet artistic conception of the years.

Just looking at this face, it will only make people think of the word harmless to humans and animals.

Caterina couldn't help but think back to the time when she met this guy outside of Demacia.

When the two armies were fighting, but this guy was idle all day, and her heart was full of contempt for him at that time.

Even if she was recognized by this guy and unknowingly drank poison and lost her freedom, Caterina still thinks that this guy is a German nobleman who has no other advantages except for his outstanding appearance.

But after a long time, it was only now that Caterina was slow to react.

Being able to make people think this way is one of the characteristics of this guy.

Obviously, he is like an idle boy, in fact, this guy lives a luxurious life.

But such a guy has actually thought about everything and even prepared it.

Whether it is the Gate of Sorrow or what happened to Wang Du today, it can almost be said that it relies on this guy's secret arrangement.

These were enough to surprise Katarina.

Such a hidden guy will inevitably become a headache for Noxus in the future.

It's just that Caterina doesn't want to think about this tonight.

She just wants to cherish this quiet time.

Lu Qi turned his head and asked, "Would you like to have some wine?" ”

"Okay."

Caterina nodded, not refusing.

She's not a drinker, but she's been around this guy for a long time, and she has unconsciously caught the habit of drinking something that has nothing to do.

After a while, Luci took the wine, and the two sat on the roof, admiring the moon and watching the stars light up in the night sky.

While raising their glasses to drink, the slightly sweet wine of the scorching tropical area fell down their throats and into their stomachs, and after a few glasses, both of them felt slightly drunk.

Katerina's beautiful face is a little more rosy, a pair of eyes are shining in the moonlight, and the slightly drunk feeling also adds a bit of charm to her overall temperament.

Even if the two of them didn't say anything at this time, just raised their glasses and drank each other, this artistic conception was enough to make their mood exceptionally good.

After a few glasses of wine.

Luqi thought of what was going on, and then he spoke, "I'm going to tell you something that I found in Roussel's secret room, and it's important to you and me. ”

His expression was extraordinarily serious, putting away the kind of casual casualness that was a little bit carried all the time.

"What?"

Caterina's interest was intrigued, and she raised her eyes to look at Lucky.

She had heard the name of Russell, and she had heard that this person was the mastermind of today's events.

She was curious about what could make this guy look solemn.

Luci drank the wine in his glass and then spoke, "The person who really planned this conspiracy is not actually Russell. Rather, a man named LeBlan, the Pale Witch. ”

"The Pale Witch."

Hearing this title, Caterina was slightly stunned and fell into memory, she had a feeling that she had heard this name somewhere.

Suddenly, a black rose flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but say, "Black rose? ”

Lu Qi nodded: "That's right, Black Rose, Lady Pale, is the real mastermind who secretly planned this rebellion." ”

"Wait." Caterina paused and said, "The Black Rose appeared in Noxus more than ten years ago, when Svein discovered this organization, and they secretly coveted Darkwell's position, and didn't the Pale Lady and her followers have died in his revelations?" ”

Caterina has an impression of this, because there was a lot of trouble in Noxus.

Some coveted greater influence, and they secretly formed an alliance to overthrow the newly ascended Darkwell, and the symbol and only trace of this organization was a black rose.

That's why people call this organization Black Rose.

The man who discovered the Black Rose was Svein, who discovered their plot at the time and personally executed several masterminds.

Those people were beheaded for public display, countless people saw several heads fall to the ground, and the pale lady should have died in that execution a long time ago.

Caterina was still young at that time, and the reason why she was impressed was because she also witnessed the execution.

Duke Kao personally took her to a great viewing position, not caring how much of a psychological shadow a little girl would have if the blood sprayed like a fountain on a human head.

It's just that her heart is also extraordinarily strong, and when she saw that scene, she almost didn't feel anything.

That's not the point either.

Now she should be thinking about the question, why did the black rose appear in Demacia more than ten years later?

At this time, Lu Qi spoke: "It's just a fake death, in fact, the black rose has been safe and still operating in the dark. ”

His serious expression did not seem to be made up, and he continued: "This is the usual trick of this pale lady, and for her to make a fake is as easy as drinking water. ”

"The Black Rose may have existed longer than Noxus, and the real controller of Noxus has always been this organization. She may be the fabricator of every Noxian law, and she has been behind every coup d'état in your Noxus for hundreds of years. ”

"Even your Grand Commander, Darkwell, is only a puppet she controls. Her intrigues are all over the Land of Runeterra, and there are many places that have been tormented by the chaos she has created, not even Demacia. ”

Lu Qi's voice rang out one by one.

Because of the fact that she received so many messages at once, Caterina fell into a moment of consternation, and her delicate face was also distracted.

She couldn't imagine that Noxus had always been in such an organization. Or even in the hands of such a person.

As a Noxian, she felt like her faith had suddenly collapsed.

Countless Noxus fought desperately, and what they wanted to get was always based on someone else's conspiracy.

If that's the case, then how many "fake" things are there in Noxus today.

Caterina came back to her senses, frowned slightly, looked at Lucci with a serious face, and asked, "These. How do you know? ”

She didn't believe that a Demacian nobleman's secret room was hiding about so many Pale Witches, and looking at Lucky's description, he obviously knew more than a little bit about this mysterious Pale Witch.

"That's a long story."

Luki thought about it and knew that if he wanted Caterina to believe, he had to find a suitable reason.

If Lux was here, he could see at a glance that this guy would be making up nonsense with such an expression.

It's just that Katarina, who is very confused at this time, didn't pay attention to this.

Lu Qi sighed slightly and said, "You should know that my mother is from Noxus. ”

Caterina nodded, something she had learned later, and it wasn't a secret in Demacia.

Luci's mother, Melly, was a Noxian, who later left Noxus to fall in love with Gawain III.

Lu Qi said: "Actually, her identity is a member of the Black Rose. ”

His words made Caterina stunned.

"Anyone who joins the Black Rose has an almost fanatical adoration for this organization. They follow the Pale Lady's orders and travel to various parts of the Runeterras to lurk or carry out missions. ”

"But my mother was an exception. More than a decade ago, when LeBlanc was busy playing fake death with Svein, she found an opportunity to break away from Black Rose and go all the way to Demacia. ”

She wasn't a member of the core, so she didn't expect that the Pale Witch's minions were already everywhere. Even her doppelganger lurks in Demacia in disguise. Naturally, she was immediately spotted by LeBlan, who tried his best to kill her, the man who had betrayed the Order. ”

At this time, the masked man secretly intervened and helped her escape from the clutches. These things were all things she told me in retrospect before she died. LeBlanc somehow crossed out her memories of the Black Rose period. ”

As Luki spoke alone, Caterina listened in silence the whole time.

The masked man, she also had a little understanding through the slate mural this afternoon, and it was also not a simple figure.

At this time, she almost thought that what Lu Qi said was true.

Because that's the only way to make sense of everything.

Lucci knew about the Black Rose organization from the beginning, so he secretly prepared to fight LeBlanc's clone in Demacia.

And today, he succeeded.

"Russell is the Pale Witch?"

Caterina looked up and looked into Luci's eyes.

Lu Qi nodded, "Yes." ”

Caterina lowered her head again, lost in thought, her fists clenched unconsciously.

Black Rose Pale Witch

Even in Demacia, far away in the West, where Noxus is almost on a par with Noxus, there is such a powerful figure lurking.

Thinking about it this way, isn't the influence of this terrible organization in Noxus.

Just thinking about this, Katerina already shuddered.

Something flashed through her mind.

She remembered what Duckkao had said, her mother and sister seemed to be working on a mysterious organization, and she had investigated the slightest clue.

Could it be that this organization is the Black Rose?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it became, and Katerina's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help asking, "What else do you know?" ”

"All I know is that the Pale Witch is almost everywhere, she is a witch who has survived for hundreds of years, has countless pseudonyms, and has made up countless stories," said Luch. ”

In fact, what he knows is only what he sees from another perspective.

How could the cautious LeBlanc be so careless to reveal so much secrecy.

It's just that that's not the point.

After all, what Luqi said was true, and the reason why he told Caterina was naturally because he didn't want this matter to end like this.

LeBlanc did such a big thing in Demacia, he came and went when he wanted, and he didn't have any worries at all.

Luki, of course, couldn't just leave it at that.

No matter how deep she hid, he would have to make some trouble for her and make her less comfortable.

And Caterina is the most suitable blade.

Caterina hadn't recovered from her surprise yet, and she hadn't imagined that she would face such a terrible enemy.

Soon, though, a resolute look appeared in her eyes.

It's no wonder that today's Noxus is full of weirdness, and Darkwell, who wants to live a long life, is crazy to find the elixir, and obviously there is also the shadow of the Pale Witch behind this.

In other words, Darkwell is already a puppet.

And in the entire center of power in Noxus, there are also nobles, and I don't know how many such puppets there are.

Such an organization influences Noxus from top to bottom, leaving an empire dirty, chaotic, and smoky.

Even her mother and sister are members of the Black Rose.

Even if it's for them, Caterina must stand up and fight against them.

"That's all I know," said Luci. ”

Caterina raised her eyes and said, "Anyway, thank you for telling me this." ”

Lu Qi's words can be said to have helped her solve the doubts she had been having.

Until then, she had always had a strange feeling that she couldn't explain.

Now, this feeling dissipated, and there was only one way out of sight for Caterina.

She's ready to take the step.
