"Step, step, step~!"

In the middle of the night, two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side in the deep and narrow alleys of Noxus.

The snow had stopped, and the bright moonlight pierced through the dark clouds, hitting the snow with a cold white glow, and the entire imperial capital of Noxus lit up.

Even as the capital of Noxus, the architecture here continues with the traditions of the rest of Noxus.

The architecture here is solemn, the streets are narrow and claustrophobic, the eaves are walled, and the city gates are majestic.

There is no doubt that the power and control of the Empire are emphasized in every corner of the place, and it is very well suited for defensive combat.

Any enemy who wants to take over a Noxian city by force will face stubborn resistance, as even the most modest dwellings can be built like a fortress.

"Berea, you're going to eat me tomorrow anyway, why don't you answer the doubts in my heart for me?"

With his hands behind his head, Zuo Chi turned his head and asked with a smile.

Berea looked curiously at Zuo Chi beside her, her mouth slightly open, and a mouth of inverted triangular fangs reflected the cold light in the light of the moon.

She was curious why Zuo Chi wasn't afraid of her, which was different from everyone she had met before.

"Human, aren't you afraid of me?"

"I'm afraid."

Zuo Chi spread his hands: "But it seems that I can't escape from your hands, don't I?" ”

"Hmm~~"

Berea pursed her lips, then grinned, "That's right." ”

Seeming to agree with Zuochi's words, Berea nodded.

Because of the shackles on her body, she walked staggeringly, which looked a little funny.

Still, she said: "Before, I was locked up in the deepest part of the prison and had to go hungry every day. Locked up with me are the things that were made with me. ”

Zuo Chi looked at the bloodstone shackles on Bereya's body, and his eyes shook slightly.

As Berea herself said, her existence is different from Theon's, and although both are creatures of blood magic, Berea was not resurrected from the corpses of the dead.

She is a natural creature of blood magic, a weapon of war authorized by the Black Rose under the authority of the previous Noxian Emperor Braun Darkwell.

The bloodstone shackles on her body were meant to limit her furious power.

However, just like Thean, Berea, who was born of blood magic, is also a failure, and she is even more outrageous than Thein.

When Seon kills people, he doesn't distinguish between himself and the enemy, as long as the living person stands in his way, he will become the soul of his giant axe.

As for Berea

The only time Berea went on a mission was in the early days of the Noxian regime, when Black Rose sent Berea and her instructors into battle with her troops, just to kill one person!

This man is the initiator of the coup d'état - Svein!

On the battlefield, with Berea's bloodstone shackles lifted, she rushed towards every living person in front of her like a terrible ghost.

She shredded anything that was visible, including her instructors, and all the Black Rose people.

The only exception is Svein

Everyone on the Black Rose side died at the hands of Berea, but Svein, the sole target of the operation, fled.

Svein himself was stunned.

Since then, Berea has never been activated, and is imprisoned in the prison of Noxus along with other failed blood magic creations.

Svein also gained great power from the Immortal Fortress after that, and the Black Rose could no longer kill him easily.

Reminiscing about Bereya's record, Zuo Chi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

However, what made Zuo Chi wonder was how exactly did Belea escape from prison, and the people of Black Rose actually ignored her?

"I'm not like those rags who only know how to eat people all day long!"

Belea's face was indifferent and said:

"The thought that I'm going to be one of those monsters who only knows how to drink blood and eat flesh makes me sick to my stomach. So, when I was hungry, I opened the shackles and went hunting, and when I was full, I put the shackles back on. ”

"Didn't anyone come and catch you back?" Zuo Chi asked softly.

Berea shook her head noncommittally: "I've been here for a few, and I've eaten them, and there's no one behind." ”

"Uh."

Zuo Chi was speechless for a while, but he thought of the reason, it should be that Black Rose wanted to observe the situation after Berea.

After all, there are still very few blood magic creations like this that rely on themselves to give birth to self-consciousness.

At this time, Zuo Chi and Berea had already walked out of the alley, and not far from them was the huge gate of the imperial capital of Noxus.

As if thinking of something, Zuo Chi asked:

"Berea, is Svein still in the Immortal Fortress?"

Berea was slightly stunned, and she looked at Zuo Chi suspiciously: "Svein? Who's that? ”

Zuo Chi: "."

Well, it's okay.

Zuo Chi originally thought that how could Berea say that he was also a member of the Black Rose before, and why he couldn't understand some Noxus political issues.

But it was clear that he had asked the wrong person.

If he asked Berea which part of his body was the best, Berea might be able to tell him, but if he asked questions other than eating, then Zuochi might be disappointed.

It seems that it is impossible to get any useful information from Berea, and Zuochi needs to find someone else.

Continuing to walk down the street, Zuo Chi and Berea did not speak again, but what they were thinking about in their minds was also heaven and earth.

Zuo Chi was thinking about what he should do next, while Berea was thinking about when it would be dawn.

When it was dawn, she could eat the dry food beside her.

And it was at this time that the two of them suddenly heard the sound of the swift wind breaking in their ears, and at the same time, Zuo Chi could feel that the magic elements around him were stirring.

Grabbing Berea's arm with one hand, Zuo Chi turned into a streamer of light and swept across the two streets, before he and Berea appeared on a towering building.

When Zuo Chi saw the scene on the ground below, his eyes froze slightly, and he pulled Berea down a few points.

Beside Zuo Chi, Berea had not yet reacted from the instantaneous displacement that had just soared through the clouds.

Turning her head to look at Zuo Chi blankly, Berea was a little skeptical that it was her delusion.

Why did it suddenly take off, and fly so far!

Zuo Chi naturally didn't know what Berea was thinking, because his gaze was already completely focused on the scene below.

At this time, in the alley about five hundred meters away from the direction of the city gate, a group of figures in strange leather armor were tightly surrounding the two girls in the middle.

In their hands, they all held a very special weapon, not made of metal, but more like some kind of glass.

Not just weapons, these people don't seem to have a single trace of metal on their bodies.

They cordoned off the street, staring at the two girls in front of them, each with extremely solemn expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.

One of the two maidens who had made them do the same was armed with a large blunt-tipped spear, riding a war horse made entirely of metal, and curly yellow hair draped over his resolute face.

Beside her, a girl with red hair and a red dress was hugging the bear doll in her arms, looking at the people around her with a frightened and aggrieved expression.

Zuo Chi recognized them almost at a glance, these two were Ruil and Annie!

"Let us go, or I'll kill you!"

In the streets, Riel's voice was cold and murderous, and the front hooves of the steel warhorse beneath her kept pounding on the ground, as if it was on the verge of an explosion.

"Ruiel, what you have to do now is to go back to the Black Rose Academy with us."

At this moment, an extremely hot woman separated the crowd and came to Ruil and Anne.

When Ruil saw the comer, she shouted in a deep voice, "Elise, I would like to see the ugliness of your spider monster more than your current appearance. ”

The woman smiled, the corners of her mouth cracked to a great extent, and a row of white fangs immediately appeared in front of Ruier.

"Rell, the Black Rose Academy has put so much effort into you, are you going to leave like this? Still with a little devil? ”

As she said this, Elise's gaze fell on Anne's.

When Anne noticed Elise's gaze, she just hugged the doll in her arms, cowering and not speaking.

"Invest your heart and soul in me?"

Ruier smiled coldly: "Do you mean that I am burdened with the lives of countless people out of thin air?" ”

"Only by sacrificing can we achieve!"

Elise spread her hands: "Do you remember your mother's original words?" You will only become strong if you absorb the magic and life of those who are weak! ”

"I don't have a mother!"

Ruil interrupted Elise rudely, and her emotions became a little out of control.

Ruier couldn't imagine how a mother who relied on selling her daughter in exchange for glory and wealth could still be called a mother!

She didn't want to rely on sucking the magic of other innocent children to get stronger.

Seeing that Ruil did not have the slightest intention of compromise, Elise's expression became extremely hideous, and black silk threads even began to stir under her skin.

"I'm not talking to you, Riel, you're destined to go back with us today."

"Come on, then!"

The spear in Ruiel's hand pierced out in an instant, and when the spear reached its maximum length, the mechanism on the barrel of the spear turned, and the head of the spear extended again, heading straight for a man in black in front of him.

And at the moment when Ruil's spear stabbed out, the black-clothed people around him also moved.

Their figures flickered, their bodies unfurled in strange leather armor, and many magical patterns on them were displayed, and they were spliced together to form a gray shield that isolated the outside world.

With all that done, the men in black rushed at Ruil and Anne again.

The steel steed beneath Ruil trembled, her spear glowing with a dazzling yellow glow.

Ironmastery!

Ruil was born with a strange ability to manipulate steel, which is the main reason why Black Rose values her so much.

Black Rose wants to train her into a powerful weapon of war against some powerful enemy in the future.

Reel is trying to control all the steel around her.

This is the imperial capital of Noxus, and there is a large amount of metal in both the buildings and the underground, and with the support of these metals, she will be invincible.

However, just as Ruil was about to manipulate the surrounding metal, she suddenly realized that she was completely unable to perceive the existence of the surrounding metal.

Ruiel's eyes focused on the strange shield around the battlefield, and her expression began to become a little solemn.

Obviously, Black Rose had been fully prepared to capture her back.

Seeing that the men in black had already rushed towards her and Anne, Ruil did not hesitate any longer, she got off the war horse with her legs, and headed straight for the man in black in front of her.

Although she has no control over the steel around her, she still has spears and horses.

The warhorse beneath her changed form, blades of steel swirling and twisting in the air, turning into a razor-like tornado.

The figures of those men in black flickered rapidly, and brilliant magical brilliance burst out from their hands.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

In that small space, all kinds of color magic flew sideways, and violent roars were constantly sounding.

Even though Ruil's magic has become extremely powerful, her combat power has been greatly affected by the absence of any metal around her.

What's more, she also has to protect the safety of Anne next to her.

Anne hugged the bear doll in her arms, and she cowered behind Ruiel, her eyes already full of tears.

"Bang!"

After another collision, Ruil couldn't take one as ten, and she was hit by a man in black on the waist, and she flew out directly upside down, hitting the wall of the shield.

Supporting her body with the spear in her hand, Ruil wanted to continue to stand up, but the men in black would not give her any chance to react.

Almost instantly, Ruil was suppressed by several men in black, and even the spear in his hand was taken away.

Admittedly, if there was enough metal around, Rair would be fearless of almost any enemy.

But when the connection between steel and steel was severed, her combat power was still greatly reduced.

With her hands tied behind her back, Ruil continued to struggle.

"Don't touch her!"

At the end of Ruiel's line of sight, several men in black had walked towards Anne, who was huddled in the corner, and Ruil tried to stop them, but she had lost the ability to move.

In the corner, as the man in black approached, Anne was stepping back.

Finally, Anne had no way to retreat, and the men in black came to her.

Slowly raising his hand, the man in black led directly grabbed Anne's arm, wanting to restrain Ryle to tie Anne's hands behind him.

And in the process, the bear doll held in Anne's arms is destined to be taken away.

"Don't touch my bear!" Anne's voice trembled, but it was full of hatred.

However, her cry did not get any response, and the man in black had already grabbed one of the bear's legs and lifted it upwards violently.

Anne was struggling with the man in black, stream-like tears streaming down her eyes, and the same words were repeated in her mouth.

"Don't snatch Tibbs, don't!"

At this moment, nightmarish images began to echo in Anne's mind.

She saw her mother, the gentle woman who was seen as a test subject by the Black Rose.

She saw her mother die in the fire, she heard her sister's desperate cries before she was swept away by the rushing river, she heard her stepmother's insults to her, and her biological father's compromise and indulgence of her stepmother.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, a raging flame lit up the night sky, completely melting the snow around it.

Flames erupted from Anne's arm, setting the bear doll on fire.

"Tibbs!"

"Roar!"

With Anne's roar, the doll in her hand also rose into the air, turning into an upright giant bear in the raging flames.

Strands of thick tendons connected the bear's limbs to its torso, like stitches of stitches, it was like a large plush doll, but the power escaping from its body was terrifying.

The giant bear's claws slammed into the black-clothed man led by terrifying flames, directly splitting his body in half, and blood and internal organs flowed to the ground in an instant.

And this was just the beginning, after killing the first man in black, Tibbs rushed at the other men in black again, slaughtering these people who tried to harm Anne like a chicken and a dog.

On the periphery of the battlefield, Elise watched all this with indifferent eyes.

When she saw Tiebs's strength, a playful look appeared on her delicate and feminine face.

"Is this the power of demons?"

As the words fell, a very quaint magic scroll appeared in Elise's hand.

An obscure spell flowed from her mouth, followed by several black chains piercing out of the scroll and heading for Tibbs.

Now that she has decided to capture Rell and Anne, Black Rose is naturally well prepared.

Sure enough, the enraged Tiebs was instantly bound by black chains, and he could no longer move.

Tibbs was still roaring, but his body was restrained, and he could only watch as the men in black went to Annie again.

"Tibbs."

Anne was backing away, her voice trembling and her tone full of fear.

In the end, Anne was still restrained by the man in black and carried on her shoulders to take away.

In the distance, on top of the towering building, Berea, who had witnessed all this, looked at the left pool:

"Okay, let's go, these two people shouldn't be able to run away, it's hard for anyone to change what Black Rose identifies."

With that, Berea turned around and prepared to find an angle to jump off the building.

But soon she found out that Zuo Chi was still standing in place and didn't know what to think.

"Humans?" Berea's tried to shout.

"Oops~~"

As soon as Berea shouted the word "human", her whole person was once again pulled up by Zuo Chi and rushed straight to the battlefield in front of her.

"Boom!"

Just as the men in black put on the magic limiting device for Anne and Ruiel, two figures descending from the sky suddenly appeared in front of them.

Zuo Chi's appearance caught everyone by surprise, and they looked at him with vigilant eyes at the same time.

"Who are you?"

It's just that the black-clothed man's question was not answered, but at the moment when his question was asked, he saw Zuo Chi's slowly raised right hand.

Immediately after, Zuo Chi's raised hand flipped and gently pressed down.

"Click! Bang! ”

In the next moment, several thick thunderbolts fell from the sky, completely submerging the man in black in front of Ruil and Anne.

Like countless birds chirping, when the raging arc of electricity in front of them gradually subsided, only Ruil, Annie, Tibbs, and Elise turned pale in the distance.

Almost without any hesitation, Elise's skin was completely torn at this moment, and eight hideous spider legs pierced out of her body, and her whole body turned into a black streamer and rushed into the distance.

Behind, Zuo Chi looked at Elise who was flying away, and his face was stunned.

The corners of Zuo Chi's mouth raised slightly, he knew that it shouldn't be long before his existence would be known to the higher-ups of Noxus.

And that's exactly what he wanted!

At this point, only Zuo Chi and the three girls were left in this deep alley, and of course, a frightened doll Big Bear.

Tibbs was trying to curl up behind Anne so much that he didn't even dare to look up at Zuochi.

Anne looked at Zuo Chi in front of her curiously, she could clearly sense that Tibbs was afraid of Zuo Chi, and it was so frightened that she couldn't even raise the slightest thought of resisting.

Ruier was also looking at Zuo Chi, and she said softly:

"Thank you for saving us, stranger."

Zuo Chi nodded slightly, and then his gaze swept over the three girls in front of him.

Berea, a failed blood magic creature created by Black Rose, kills people without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Ruil, the failed weapon cultivated by the Black Rose, did not listen to the Black Rose at all, and even wanted to destroy the Black Rose.

Anne, the daughter of the Black Rose Failed Experiment, had just set fire to the Black Rose Academy not long ago.

Zuo Chi: "."

And then count the previous Sain.

Zuo Chi suddenly felt that there was no success story for black roses.

Looking at the shocked and curious eyes of the three girls beside him, Zuo Chi shook his head helplessly.

What is this?

What is the director of the shelter for children in question?
