The underground space under the pale clock tower implements the cold and simple style of Night Blade. The cold-toned wall tiles and dark passages extending in all directions make the secret stronghold under the clock tower more like a large dungeon, with secret passages connecting the outer city. Even ordinary Night Blade members are not qualified to know several key areas.
According to Morris, if the killers cannot adapt to the loneliest and darkest environment, the sharpest dagger will be easily broken. Night is the best protective color... and this is what Lester taught him.
Walking among the underground buildings that incorporate its own design concepts, Lester feels a little strange.
It sounds a bit like being a middle-class person. Surrounded by a group of dangerous guys with cold and cruel temperament, Lester felt like an underground king who controlled the gray world.
From his point of view, this kind of role positioning is no different from the rat king in the ditch. In other words, ordinary people look at it as majestic. In America, those who are truly called kings always have their own legal private armed forces. The manor and the Shihao chaebol, who can influence the situation in parliament and sell missiles and tanks all over the world, will never be a gang leader who dares not even see the light of day.
Compared with the latter, the 'underground king' of the former is like a baby holding a sand shovel and building sand castles on the beach. When a hurricane blows over, the person and the shovel will disappear from the world.
This time I came to the stronghold of Pale Clock Tower not only to meet the grown-up Shaco, to test Shaco's ability as a killer with a special task, but also to accept the oath of allegiance from the latest generation of Night Blade members.
Since Lester left the Emerald Territory and went to Ionia, the new generation of Night Blade members have been unable to become core members because they were unable to hold allegiance ceremonies, and their number has also increased. After all, Morris knew that during this period, the Demon The face lord is disguised by Ji Si, so naturally he will not let the killers belonging to Lester be loyal to a fake master.
Starting from the most outstanding first-generation Night Blade, the Night Blade currently under full control of Morris has developed to four generations. Except for the first generation personally selected by Lester, because it is too harsh, each generation has The core members of Night's Edge usually have no more than ten people. In Night's Edge, the number of people is never limited by rules, but by suitable talents.
In other words, every core member of Night Blade is a ruthless character selected from thousands of people. Not only does his personal background and personal ability need to be examined, but he must also be alone before joining. Every one of them must be able to go. The guy who plays the main character in a certain orphanage.
"...Master, Demacia's envoys have been very active recently. They have had secret contacts with the Kingdom of Northland and the Principality of Valoran. The specific reason for the contact is still unknown. They have kept this matter very secret. It is difficult for our people to get accurate information without alerting them all."
Lester calmly observed Morris, who was half a body behind him.
Morris, who is deliberately bearded and wearing loose black cloth boots, looks like a harmless middle-aged man in his forties. Although he has a family of his own, Morris still puts the focus of his life on the front of the night. In the management and operation of the blade, the man who rarely participated in the battle personally did not stop practicing and exercising, and his body contained more terrifying power than before.
A loyal and reliable man - this is what Lester said about Morris, and then he thought of Hecht's situation.
Logically speaking, Hector, who had been taking large doses of the paralyzing hallucinogenic toxin Yue Zi Bai all day long, should have been buried due to the consequences of organ failure, but now he is still alive and kicking and fighting with his nephew. This can already explain a lot. question.
Although there is no convincing evidence yet, high-purity magic steel equipment seems to have a benign effect on the human body after a long period of killing. People who enter the 'boiling blood' state and then break free have more obvious physical improvements. It seems that the injuries are likely to heal. The side effects are currently unknown, but overall, it is a good thing for killers who are often in the midst of life and death.
Perhaps the orichalcum itself, produced using the souls absorbed by the red runes, also has the effect of absorbing souls and strengthening the user?
If so, how pure does the orichalcum need to be? Which is more efficient in strengthening swords or armor? How reinforcing can killing an adult be?
Regarding this conjecture, Lester kept it in mind and prepared to let Christol verify it. It happened that a group of northern mountain barbarians who were unwilling to participate in the gladiatorial battle were imprisoned in the dungeon.
"Demacia would rather trade their treasured Demacian steel to us than give us the high-purity forbidden magic stone. However, the high-purity forbidden magic stone has appeared in the mercenary guild of the Kingdom of Gran. Used to catch slaves, I think this can already explain a lot of problems. Our neighbors to the west were not idle when they were fighting in Noxus. Sometimes they can do a lot of things without having to take action personally."
Leicester sneered.
"A weak Noxus is the best Noxus for Demacia. Noxus's expansion and aggressiveness are too strong and have already caused dissatisfaction from surrounding countries. Don't look at it. The Principality of Valoran usually calls itself a servant state. If given the chance, the Principality of Valoran would definitely not mind giving the Immortal Fortress a blow. The opportunity to beat a drowned dog is rare. By then, it will not only be the Principality of Valoran, but also the Kingdom of Northland. I’m afraid both the Kingdom and the Gran Kingdom will get a share of the pie.”
Morris naturally understands this.
"So, the master used Valorant, the representative of the hawks in the Principality of Valoran, as the test target, and asked Shaco to remove the representative of the Young Faction to warn the Principality of Valoran not to have second thoughts."
"Yes, I think the weight of a big noble family head is enough to make those sheep in the Principality of Valoran understand the truth."
"A sheep with horns is still a sheep. Don't try to tease the tiger's beard, because that is a price they cannot bear."
Arriving in the hall, fifteen fifth-generation night blade killers were waiting in formation in simple plain clothes. Many of them had obvious signs of fatigue on their faces. It was obvious that they had just rushed back from the field.
Sacco and his uncle stood in the corner. When they saw Lester, they knelt down and saluted at the same time.
"Owner!"
"Get up."
"yes."
It wasn't until Lester spoke that the uncle and nephew stood up. Sako quietly glanced at his uncle from the corner of his eye. Sure enough, his uncle had a serious face and no smile on his face.
Without speaking, Lester just sat silently on the high seat, memorizing the faces of the fifteen Blades of Night members with serious eyes.
In fact, he remembers the name and face of every core killer of Night Blade,
Although Leicester left the affairs to Morris to manage, he was not unsuspecting. At least if Morris wanted to betray, he had enough means to let the killers send their beloved teacher to his last journey. Of course, This insurance method did not exist at all when Morris was still loyal, and it was a manifestation of 'complete trust'.
The effectiveness of the cult of personality when used properly cannot be measured in thought.
"Now, offer your absolute loyalty to your supreme master in this life, Lord Lester!"
In the solemn voice of Morris, fifteen people knelt down on one knee, lowered their heads, and held up their hands.
"Swear loyalty to Lord Leicester to the death!"
After stepping off the throne, Lester took out a dark red sword-shaped metal nameplate that looked like blood jade from Morris's hand.
The unique magic steel identity plate was placed in everyone's hands by Lester, along with words of encouragement.
From this moment on, their destiny will change dramatically.
