Look around.

Caterina spoke again: "Now, the first order I have to give is this. ”

As she spoke, several people walked out with a small cart on top of stacks of white paper.

"What is this?"

One of the Assassins asked, confused.

Caterina said lightly, "You might as well take a look." ”

With that, several Assassins stepped forward, picked up the papers, looked at them, and began to read them.

However, they didn't look at it for a few moments, their pupils shrank slightly, and the shock flickered in them.

"It's."

More and more Assassins were curious, and they stepped forward one after another, picking them up one by one and looking at them.

"Black roses? The Pale Witch LeBlan, this organization faked her death more than ten years ago? They are still controlling the regime, and even the history of this organization is even older than Noxus? ”

The Assassins who saw this information were all shocked.

As an Assassin organization and the fastest intelligence unit in Noxus, the Assassins present were no strangers to the Black Rose incident more than a decade ago.

It's just that the members of this organization have been beheaded one after another.

Everyone thought that the incident had subsided.

I didn't expect to see the news of black roses again more than ten years later.

Moreover, it is far more shocking than the last time.

"That's what I was going to say just now, what I found when I went to Demacia this time."

Katerina's eyes flashed with a cold light, and then she spoke: "The center of power in Noxus has always been influenced by this organization, and the terrifying influence of this organization has almost spread all over the land of Runeterra. Shurima and Demacia on the next continent have the shadow of members of the Black Rose. ”

One of the Assassins couldn't help but ask, "How did you know this, Chief?" ”

Caterina said: "The person behind this rebellion in Demacia is a member of the Black Rose. And I learned this from her through some means. By the way, Duke Kao was assigned to Demacia by Black Rose. ”

The Assassins were silent, and everyone was lost in thought.

A mysterious organization that has been established for hundreds of years, and in the past few hundred years, it has been influencing the regime of Noxus, and even its influence has spread to various places outside of Noxus.

This can be described as an exaggeration.

However, Caterina, who personally went to Demacia and brought the news back, also has a certain credibility.

What surprised them even more was that the previous leader, Duke Kao, turned out to be the man of the Black Rose?

"You mean, you want to spread that information?"

An Assassin asked.

"Not bad." Caterina nodded, "Noxus can no longer be at the mercy of others and become a puppet. I don't know if any of you in the room have any members of Black Rose. It doesn't matter, because this will be me, a declaration of war against the Black Rose. ”

Her voice was characteristically cold, but powerful.

From her point of view, the Assassins did not see what Caterina would do by doing so.

There was no need for her to deliberately lie and fabricate a fabricated organization, and she was now the head of the Assassin Society.

If this paper is true, then it is indeed terrifying, and the Black Rose has infiltrated all parts of Noxus.

If you don't do something, you'll be a puppet, as Caterina says.

The Assassins looked at each other, unsure if the person next to them was the Black Rose member, but in their minds, they had made their decision.

"Rest assured, the leader, this news will definitely let all Noxus know as soon as possible."

An assassin bowed down in earnest.

You must know that the Assassin Guild is also the top intelligence service in Noxus, and all kinds of information will be grasped by the Assassin Guild as soon as possible, and then transmitted to various places.

So, in this regard, this is also where the Assassin Guild excels.

"Mobilize all the Assassins, as well as the intelligence messengers, and I will have three days for the news of the Black Rose to appear throughout Noxus."

Caterina ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

The Assassins responded.

"The action begins immediately."

Watching the Assassins leave, Caterina stood silently, picking up the paper with the message of the Black Rose and looking at it.

It can be said that all the information about the known Black Rose has been written, including the mysterious leader of the organization, the Pale Witch, LeBlanc, and the Sorcering Enchantress who have many pseudonyms.

This is something that Caterina thinks about on the way, if the members of the Black Rose have infiltrated everywhere.

Then even if you investigate secretly, you will only be pulled by the nose in the end.

It's better to simply play with open cards.

Take the initiative and let the Black Rose fall into passivity.

No matter how many members of Black Rose are, it is impossible for all Noxians to be one of them.

What she needs is the strength of the whole of Noxus to unite.

Naturally, this move was tantamount to pushing the Assassin Guild into the light as well, but Caterina believed that it was something that had to be experienced.

If you don't even have the courage to fight, then it's better to be a puppet of the black rose.

Leaving the Guild base, it was already dark outside, and Caterina returned home alone.

The empty mansion had no light at all, it looked dark and abnormal, and there was no sound in it, and it was very deserted.

Not to mention Duke Kao, even she rarely returns to this home.

With dust already on the doorknob, Caterina pushed the door open and walked into the house, lighting the torches, and the light finally illuminated the living room.

But the gray tones still look extremely cold.

In the most conspicuous place, there is a portrait of a seemingly happy family of four.

Husband and wife, and two young daughters.

However, when Caterina remembered that when she went to paint this portrait, Duke Kao led his troops to break through the defenses of Shurima Customs and then took his wife Soleana and Cassiopeia.

He hurriedly called the painter and painted a reunion picture for the family.

Not long after that, he was summoned back to Noxus and took her with him.

Since then, she and her mother and sister have been together less and more often, and they rarely see each other in a year, and most of the time they have exchanged letters.

At first, the two sisters exchanged letters very closely, but now they have decreased, basically once a month or more every month.

I remember the last time I saw my mother and sister, it was more than a year or two years ago.

It's just that, even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, Caterina still regards them as their closest relatives.

So did they really secretly add black roses?

Sitting on the couch, Caterina couldn't help but think about this question.

If they really are part of the Black Rose, then what should she do?

It's a question she's thought about many times on the road.

Unconsciously clenched her fists, and Caterina took a deep breath.

In any case, I must pull them out of the abyss of this organization.

At this moment, the torch hanging on the wall flickered, and Caterina suddenly cried, "Come out, Tyrone." ”

Not long after the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared in the dark corner of the living room.

He wore a blue-and-white cloak, his face hidden under the cloak, and then raised his head, revealing a face with a mask, and it was not difficult to tell from his cold eyes that he was very young.

"It seems that your perception is getting sharper, when did you find me?"

He stood there and asked.

Caterina glanced sideways at him and said, "Probably since the time I left the Assassins' Guild." ”

Tyrone said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have changed a lot." ”

"Nonsense aside, our relationship is not to the point where we can renew the old days. If it weren't for that assassination a few months ago, I wouldn't have known he still had a person like you by his side. ”

Caterina stood up, her slender hand, empty, swaying slightly, and suddenly a dagger with cold light flickered.

"I killed your master, if you are here to seek revenge for him, then do it as soon as possible. The last time we duel, it didn't seem to be a winner, so it's time to make a decision. ”

As she spoke, her whole body was ready to move.

Tyrone still stood in place, with no intention of attacking: "I actually lost the last duel. It's just that the price I paid was not my life, and now you, I am not an opponent. ”

"And what are you here for?"

Seeing that he really had no intention of attacking, Caterina frowned slightly.

Before the assassin makes a move, even if the assassin is exquisite, there will be a moment of killing intent to show, Caterina has been trained to sense killing intent since she was a child, and naturally knows that Tyrone in front of her has no fighting intent at all.

In other words, if Caterina wants to fight, she can definitely win an overwhelming advantage by rushing forward.

She had met Tyrone among the Assassins sent by Duke Kao to assassinate her, and he was one of her assassins at the time, and was the fastest to find her.

The two sides played two moves before ending in a draw.

Tyrone gave up assassinating her, and before leaving, told her that the rest of the Assassins were on their way.

If it weren't for this reason, Caterina would have done it in the first place.

"He once told me that this is the way the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife are like this, and that he will be killed at any time, which is the fate of an assassin."

Tyrone said calmly at this time: "So, even if he dies in your hands, I am not ready to seek revenge for him." Or rather, I can truly embark on my own path as an Assassin. ”

He used to be a burglar in the lower districts of Noxus, and he could only survive in the lower districts with his superb theft methods.

What he remembers most is the stinking sewers in the lower area, where he hides for an unknown amount of time to avoid his captors.

Until one day, he met Durkkao, who was defeated by his knife in the moment of the fight.

Instead of killing him, Duke Kao took him in and trained him to teach him the art of assassination.

Over the years, Tyrone's assassination skills have been refined, but he has also been at the behest of Duke Kao, following his orders to assassinate various targets.

On several occasions, he nearly died in the middle of a mission.

Duke Kao gave him an environment to grow up in, gave him food and clothing, gave him food, taught him skills, yes.

But what he has done for Durkkao over the years has also been repaying the favor.

"I'm here just to ask you a few questions."

Tyrone spoke up again at this time: "During the time he was missing, I have also been investigating the clues of his disappearance. It's true that as you said, I found some information about the Black Rose, but I wasn't sure at the time, and now it seems that this mysterious organization is indeed true. I would like to ask, is the news of his joining the Black Rose true? ”

Facing Tyrone's gaze, Caterina didn't think too much about it and replied directly: "It's true." ”

She didn't mind lying to the old dead thing, even though he didn't seem to be one of the Black Roses and was still an antagonist.

But now, he doesn't have to be.

Caterina needed a reason to clear his influence in the Assassin Guild and secure her position.

You also need to quit him at any time to take the blame.

"Yes."

Tyrone believed Katarina: "Before he disappeared, he had very little contact with me. The whereabouts are unpredictable, and I think I have already joined the black rose. ”

"Second, I want to join the Assassins' Guild."

After Tyrone finished speaking, he saw Caterina frowning and a puzzled look.

"Until then, I had been a subordinate of him and not a member of the Assassin Guild. ”

Caterina asked, "Your path as an Assassin is to join the Assassin Society?" ”

"Yes, now that I'm used to doing things for people, the Assassins' Guild is a good choice, and I need money to make ends meet."

Tyrone said bluntly: "Moreover, I think you can become a qualified leader, and joining the Assassin Society seems to be very promising, and that's why." ”

He doesn't look like a liar.

The last time they met, Caterina thought he was an eccentric, but now that she had just become the leader of the Assassins' Guild, she was short of people to work with.

"Since you've said so, I'm not going to refuse. Welcome to the Society of Assassins, Tyrone. ”

After thinking about it, Caterina agreed to Tyrone's request, then thought for a moment and said, "Now I'll give you the first task." To investigate a man named Melly, who is now the Empress of Demacia, and before that was Noxus, you should be clear about all that, right? If you are paid, it will be 500 gold, and another clue will be 100 gold. ”

Tyrone thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

With that, his figure flashed and disappeared like smoke.

Caterina narrowed her eyes, and could see that it was an instantaneous step.

It seems that that old thing doesn't hide anything from outsiders, and even taught him instantaneous.

Or is Tyrone highly gifted and worth learning for a moment?

In any case, Tyrone seems to be a worthy person.

Now, it's time to test whether the people who left the old thing are good or not.

Speaking of this, Caterina remembered something again, and looked around.

Finally, his gaze was fixed on the cabinet against the wall.
