Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City - #524 - Chapter 522 The Threat of Black Rose

The capital city of Noxus, the Immortal Fortress, sits at the heart of the empire and has a history stretching back well over 1,000 years, dating back to the time when the armored wraith Mordekaiser conquered Valoran.

After being eroded by wind and frost and carved by long rivers, the immortal fortress was gradually rebuilt in the past hundred years. The streets are stacked high and low, and some areas are even lower than the surface.

Even though the depth of the underground is not as deep as Zaun, and the level of chaos is not as chaotic as Bilgewater, it is still a slum where even the people in the capital are afraid, with a mixture of good and bad.

Even if a noble or general passes by here in the middle of the night, they must have enough guards with them.

Only the three triangular pillar-shaped castles standing in the center of the capital, as a symbol of Noxus, have a history of about 1,500 years, and their scale and grandeur are no worse than the Castle of Dawn in the capital of Demacia.

The vast majority of Noxians believe that the Immortal Fortress was once a symbol of power, but that is only an evaluation given by outsiders who do not understand politics and magic.

Throughout the ages, many people have discovered the secret.

Mordekaiser’s forbidden knowledge of mastery over souls and death, secrets of the physical realm, the spiritual realm and beyond, even demonic secrets, are buried deep within the Immortal Fortress.

The Pale Lady is the person who knows the Immortal Fortress best, and Swain, who has controlled the power of the secret demon Lamo, is second, as the person who can be regarded as an old enemy by LeBlanc.

If it weren’t for the deception and tricks inherited from ancient Shurima that allowed the Pale Lady to create countless “Flowers in the Mirror” clones and have her own puppets in various fields, Swain was worried that Noxus would fall into chaos and become the number one leader of the Grand Commander. If something happens, he will clean up the Black Rose members.

However, with Li Lin’s help, Swain rekindled the idea of ​​cleaning up the empire.

Teleported to the sky above Noxus, Li Lin looked down at his feet.

Completely different from the technological sense of the Twin Cities, Noxus has a serious architectural style and narrow and claustrophobic streets. The most conspicuous one is the empire’s unique Noxtra, a solemn arch made of black stone, which means leading to Nox. The gate of Texas symbolizes the symbol and dominance of the empire.

This was Li Lin’s first time coming to Noxus. Depressing and boring were his first impressions of the place.

[The smell of black magic is detected, specifically classified as deception, trickery, and blood magic. 】

Before Li Lin could sigh for too long, Zhinao’s reminder came, pulling his thoughts back to reality and calling up the detected magic level.

“With this level of deceptive magic, there is a high probability that it is the pale lady. As for blood magic…”

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, recalling the blood magic team he encountered in Demacia.

“Vladimir seems to have many dependents… Well, he seems to be Foego’s great-uncle and a descendant of Kamavia. Why do the High Galli royal family like to cause trouble so much?”

Li Lin shook his head helplessly, not thinking too much for the time being.

In order to maintain the relationship between allies, even if the Black Rose was equally threatening to him, he had to take care of Swain’s emotions and discuss with him ways to bring down the Pale Lady and Vladimir.

Activating the optical camouflage module of the armor, Li Lin flew straight down from the sky, aiming directly at the Immortal Fortress.

Since Black Rose had spies in the Immortal Fortress, Swain discussed with Li Lin not to alert the enemy and let him fly directly to the commander’s room.

According to the location given by Swain, Li Lin came to a balcony where several red-eyed ravens were standing. He landed directly, lifted the invisibility function of the armor, and transformed into ordinary clothes.

“Look, isn’t our Chairman Li here just now?”

Li Lin looked up following the familiar voice. This was Swain’s study.

There were not many people in the room, and three of them were people he was familiar with, namely Swain, Darius, and Draven.

Swain sat behind his desk, while Darius and Draven sat against the wall.

The other two men were wearing general armor, with strong backs and thick arms, and many battle scars on their skin exposed to the air, sitting on the sofa.

There was also a man who was wrapped in a large robe from head to toe and wore an expressionless, smooth black mask on his face. He could not identify his gender. He was sitting alone in front of the bookshelf on the other side.

Compared to the five people around him, this strange man wearing a mask had almost no sense of existence.

Swain stood up from his seat, and everyone else followed him and stood up, all focusing on the young man who suddenly appeared from the window sill.

Even the man wearing the mask had a trace of surprise in his cold eyes.

“Let me introduce to you. These two are my trusted generals, Leto and Mela. They are the heroes who pacified the Battle of Lokronde.”

Using Piltover etiquette, Swain stretched out his right hand to shake Li Lin’s hand lightly, and first introduced the two generals behind him who were no weaker than Darius.

Li Lin nodded to them, and Leto and Meira returned the greetings, but their expressions were very cautious.

They are all veterans on the battlefield, and have resolved countless dangers by relying on their fighting instincts and intuition.

Their intuition told them that if they faced this seemingly “harmless” young man with a polite smile and a gentle attitude, they would be killed in an instant.

This is a guy more terrifying than Swain…

After introducing the two generals, Swain stretched out his hand and turned to Draven’s direction.

But before he opened his mouth, Draven blew the slender beard that hung from his nose to his chest, winked at Li Lin and said with a smile: “My name is Draven, I am versatile and very classy!”

As he spoke, he took out a dagger with a ring on the handle, and quickly rotated it on his finger.

Darius glared at his brother helplessly and scolded: “Okay, now is not the time for you to mess around.”

“cut.”

Pouring his lips in annoyance, Draven took back the dagger, and Swain continued to introduce the last person to Li Lin: “As for this person… speaking of it, we actually have a history.”

“Master Assassin, General Du Cacault, nice to meet you.” Li Lin made a fist with his right hand, nailed it to the heart on his left chest, and greeted the mysterious man with a smile.

“Thank you for letting me get rid of another waste from the family, so that he will not disgrace Du Quecao’s name.” Du Quecao’s voice was hoarse and cold, and there was no emotion in it.

“Please don’t worry about it. General Du Quecao has always been like this… Come and sit here.”

Swain invited Li Lin and everyone to the hall outside. Li Lin sat alone on the single sofa at one end of the coffee table, while several others sat on the couches on both sides.

Siwei filled their glasses with wine and sat across from Li Lin.

From beginning to end, his left arm was under the hem of his plain coat, not showing any trace of it.

“Now, we should get down to business.”

The smile on Swain’s face faded and became cold and inhumane.

“The threat of the Black Rose must be resolved as soon as possible.”
