Chapter 317: Everyday Criminality, Isn't it?
"So I think Demacia's attack this time is a good opportunity for us."
Caterina took Tyrone's words and continued, "Solving superficial problems will never change Noxus. If the real root cause is not addressed, Noxus will only get more and more corrupt. β
She had witnessed the purge initiated by Demacia, which killed many people overnight, resolutely and decisively.
She thinks Noxus, too.
"Darkwell is greedy for royal power and desperate for the so-called immortality. As a result, the border wars are chaotic and the people are struggling to make a living. β
Caterina said, her eyes releasing a murderous intent: "Since I am the leader of the Assassin Society, then I will lead by example and eliminate the pests!" β
Tyrone listened in silence and understood what Caterina meant.
Clearly, she wants to overthrow Darkwell's rule.
However, it is also true that from the time the Assassin Guild attacked Darkwell, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.
Perhaps at that time, Caterina was ready.
If it had been before, her idea would never have been realized.
But now, there is a real opportunity.
After thinking for a while, Tyrone spoke: "There are too many pests in the country. β
"Then kill them all, and kill them all until there is no more." Caterina replied without hesitation and looked at Tyrone: "I have such determination. β
"I believe in you."
Tyrone replied softly, then said, "Since I have decided to follow you, then I also support all your decisions." β
"Thank you."
A smile appeared on Katerina's face, and she stood up: "Without further ado, we are going to start acting now, this is our best chance, you go and gather the core members of the Assassin Guild together." β
"Yes."
Tyrone responded, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you decide to do this, I think you should go and meet someone." β
Caterina asked, "Who?" β
Tyrone spoke calmly, "Svein. β
Caterina was slightly stunned and puzzled: "He's not"
She paused, waiting for Tyrone to answer.
"He's not dead, and he's back in Noxus." Tyrone saw the confusion in Caterina's eyes and continued to speak, "This is what I knew by accident, when I was investigating Merly's information. β
"After I found him, I stalked him for a while and was finally spotted by him. Maybe he found me in the first place, and I had this hunch. β
When Tyrone said this, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he thought that his latent skills were not weak.
But when I thought of the man looking up at him, I was still terrified.
Caterina continued, "Why did you ask me to meet him?" β
Tyrone thought for a moment, and replied seriously, "Originally, you didn't say those words, but you have seen the matter of Svein, and I will only treat it as a secret that only I know. But now I think it's necessary for me to say it. β
"I've met Svein before, before he left for Ionia, and I knew at first sight that this man lived up to his name."
"My gut tells me that going through a death this time seems to have made him stronger. When he returned to Noxus this time, he was not willing to be obscure. β
"When he found me, he didn't do anything to me, as if he sensed that I had no ill intentions. So I told him who I was in the Assassins' Guild. β
"And after that, we didn't talk much, I promised him that he would keep it a secret, he seemed willing to believe me, and then we soon went our separate ways."
Tyrone spoke briefly, and then fell silent.
He didn't know why Svein wanted to believe him, but he had a hunch that if he made a move, he wouldn't be Svein's opponent.
Caterina was lost in thought, and she understood.
Tyrone gave her a choice, whether she would continue to act with the Assassin Guild on her own, or go to Svein to confirm his position.
Because she exposed the incident of the Black Rose, and it was Svein who exposed the Black Rose back then.
He was even the one who personally executed the representative of the Black Rose in the first place.
It is now rumored that Darkwell has actually been secretly colluding with Black Rose, so it seems that he sent Svein to Ionia for more than meets the eye.
It is very likely that it was Darkwell, in order to deliberately kill Svein, who targeted the Black Rose and the Meritorious Lord.
In this way, if Darkwell learns that Svein has returned to Noxus, he will definitely not let him go easily.
If it was Svein, what would he do?
"I see, I'll go see him."
Soon, Caterina made a decision.
She felt that she really needed to meet Svein, if he was still alive.
It's hard to imagine how he survived a desperate situation.
Actually, she had met Svein too, but that was when she was a child.
I remember that it was a drinking party held by an aristocracy, and Duke Kao took her to attend.
A few tables away, she saw Svein on the other end, standing in the crowd in high spirits, complimented by the people around her.
At that time, he was already full of halos.
Tyrone nodded and said, "Okay, I'll show you how to find him." β
Five minutes later.
After confirming the information, Caterina said, "Without further ado, we will each go on our own." Also, this stronghold has been exposed and can be invalidated. β
Tyrone nodded.
Soon, the two of them left the treehouse and set off in two directions.
In a flash, another day passed.
On the northeast coast of Noxus, in the city of Horace.
People come and go, and on the very densely populated streets, a figure in a cloak walks silently.
"Have you heard? Demacia called. β
"yes, that's what I just heard that Trewell has been breached."
"Hey, that's scary."
"What's so scary about this, it makes you look like you've never been to war. However, it is indeed a rare thing that Demacia can fight. β
"Alas, some time ago, so many troops were stuffed into Ionia, and now it is estimated that there will be conscription again."
"What's going on lately, Duckwell has been stinking chess in an endless stream."
"Hey, let's say less."
As the news continued to spread, the news of Demacia's march had reached this side.
On the streets, there was a lot of talk about it.
Hearing these discussions, the cloaked figure raised his head slightly, a flash of thought flashed in his wise black eyes, and a flash of red light, and as he raised his head, some silver-white hair inadvertently spilled.
After collecting his hair, the figure lowered his head and continued walking.
When he was on the verge of death, he turned white overnight, and after walking through the face of death, he suddenly understood a lot.
Noxus needs a real change.
And he will be the one who brings about change.
Twenty-fiveth.
Luki led the army and marched while resting, although the speed was a little slower, but it could adjust the state of the soldiers.
In five days, they had captured two towns in Noxus in succession, and the towns and villages that had fled for inquiry were not worth mentioning.
Countless prisoners of war were captured, as well as a lot of supplies.
In the past few days, it can be seen that Noxus has obviously been prepared, and the towns have strengthened their forces, but they are still not enough, and they have not been able to support it for too long, and they have been breached.
And at the same time, it was not only Luqi's side that marched, but Lev, who was in the north, also led his army to attack continuously, and also took two cities, as well as two small towns and villages.
In the past few days, the border cities of Noxus in the western border have basically been taken.
It can be said that a gap has been opened for success, and what awaits it will be Demacia's long-term drive.
At this time, it was just dawn, and Lu Qi and the army had rested and prepared to continue the march.
"There are more and more prisoners of war, and after a while, they will almost be several times the number of Demacia's army."
Luki muttered to himself, looking to the east, wondering if the big men in Noxus had received the letter, and how they had discussed.
According to the four-day delivery time, if Lu Qi does not receive a response after three days, then he can only dispose of part of it first.
However, he believed that Darkwell would not have made such a stupid decision.
Thinking that today was the day of the monthly sign, Lu Qi found the little golden retriever.
In the past few days, she has been advancing with the army all the way, and there are not many things that she is asked to do, but she still joined the logistics of the army on her own.
A while ago, she learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge, and this time it also came in handy, making healing potions and powders, she can contribute a lot.
It has also been well received by logistics.
When Lu Qi found her, she had just washed her face with water, and her clean little face was stained with water droplets, and as she dried it, she did feel a little more refreshing and beautiful.
Luki walked up to her, calmly reached out and rubbed her head twice, rubbing the blonde hair into a mess.
Then, before Lux could get angry, Luch turned away.
A big question mark popped up on Lux's head, and he felt that his anger had passed before he could live.
This guy makes cheap mistakes every day, and she expresses her disdain, but she doesn't remember villains, and after tidying up her hair, she went to the logistics unit full of energy.
Luki, who had a wave of Miss Crown's luck, found Bobby again.
As a representative of two high luck, Lu Qi naturally has to take a hand.
Bobby doesn't look like a little golden retriever, no matter how much she rubs her head, she won't get angry.
So, Lu Qi, who had rubbed two waves of luck in a row, was ready, and said silently in his mind: "Sign in." β
γSign-in Successγ
[This check-in is detected to be a monthly sign-in, and it will be automatically changed to a special check-in]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining intermediate magic comprehension]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item--Mana Crystal*3]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-level skill: Mana Burning]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item: Horn of War - March Rate]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Primary Skill Upgrade Card*2]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Intermediate Skill Upgrade Card*1]
[The system reward has been stored in the backpack, please check it by yourself]
Several system prompts rang in Lu Qi's head.
Luffy opened the system backpack and began to look at them one by one.
The first is the intermediate magic comprehension, he has obtained the primary magic comprehension before signing in, from knowing nothing about magic, to the introductory stage of magic.
Without hesitation, Lu Qi directly chose to pick it up.
Suddenly, more information poured into Lu Qi's mind, whether it was how to cultivate spiritual power, how to operate magic, how to use magic, Lu Qi's comprehension was a little more profound.
When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer an apprentice of magic, and his mastery of magic had improved to a great level.
This puts Luqi in a good mood.
It won't be long before he can become an archmage.
Lucci looked at the second reward, an item, a mana crystal.
It's a blue gem that seems to contain infinite magic, and Lu Qi briefly checked the introduction.
This mana crystal does contain a lot of magic power, and it can also be used as a prop to store mana.
When the mana is used up, it automatically absorbs the mana replenishment from the air, albeit slowly.
Wearing it on the body will also help the speed of mana recovery, as well as the cultivation of mental power.
It's a good prop, and the system sent three at once.
Luki thought about it and thought that it was just the right time to send Sana and Lux to each other, they were both mages, and they would definitely be able to use it.
He didn't have much of a need for it, after all, Luch didn't eat by magic.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the third skill.
[Learnable skills detected, mana burning, do you want to learn?] γ
"Learn."
Lu Qi did not hesitate and chose to study directly.
Suddenly, a wave of skill information about mana burning poured into his mind.
After half a ring, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a slightly thoughtful expression.
As soon as I finished talking about the mana crystal, I didn't use it much, and there was a demand for it in the blink of an eye.
As the name suggests, this mana burning is a skill that relies on burning mana.
After turning on the mana burning state, it will directly enhance the abilities of various parts of Lu Qi's body, but at the cost of the rapid consumption of the magic power in his body.
Magic is a thing about mental power, and the result of running out of mental power is naturally needless to say.
At this time, with mana crystallization, it can be used as a good means of supplementation.
All in all, it's a good skill.
However, for the current Luqi, it is estimated that it will only last for a short time.
Can be left for use when it matters most.
Immediately, Luffy looked at the fourth reward, another prop.
It's called the Battle Horn - Velocity of March.
The name is easy to understand, and after Lu Qi carefully checked the introduction of the system, his face suddenly appeared.
"It's a good thing."
He couldn't help but exclaim.
This war horn, when sounded, can directly increase the movement speed of all allies, reduce physical exertion, and increase the positive status by 30%.
The better a person's condition, the stronger the strength he can play.
Needless to say, physical strength and movement speed are extremely crucial.
It's just that the horn of war can only be sounded once a day, and it lasts only an hour at a time.
Either when you are in a hurry, or when you are attacking a city, it is a very useful prop.
The remaining two rewards were nothing to look at, and Lu Qi used them directly to raise the skill level of mana burning to LV6.
Today's reward is really good, and it is obviously a successful luck.
In this way, Lu Qi's mood is also very happy.
After a simple tidying up, the army is about to set off again, this time it will drive straight in, and the next thing to face is also the counterattack of Noxus.
Lu Qi is naturally not afraid, just like him, thousands of warriors will also move forward.
