Katarina is one of the top assassins in the Noxus Empire!
She has always been decisive and ruthless in her actions. She was once the eldest daughter of the legendary general Du Couture. Because of her skillful skills and unexpected and swift assassination, she quickly became famous in the empire, and was eventually killed by chance. Swain was admired by the commander-in-chief, and thus began to use her own skills to get in touch with the core of the high-level officials of the Texas Empire, and began to use her unparalleled skills to serve the empire.
But what no one knows is...
In fact, when Catalina personally killed the second-rate assassin sent by her father to kill her, and threw the other person's head at the feet of her father, the legendary general Du Cacao, that day, she had already No longer his assassin, no longer his daughter!
she,
Katarina, now serving the Empire, is the will of Noxus!
And this is the real reason why Katarina and two of her subordinates took three dragon birds today, disguised as Demacians, flew over the Voodoo Land, and tried to wait for an opportunity to sneak into the residence of the rebellious Gray Order mages.
However,
The cruel fact told her that her mission today didn't seem to have any possibility of success?
"Hey……"
"I'm curious……"
"Has our Noxian intelligence department really fallen to the point where it can only cultivate trash like you? Now, please open your eyes wide and see, that is what you call the unworthy one." Mention the 'Grey Order'?"
"ha!"
Katarina, who was laughing in anger, arrived in front of her subordinate in an instant, and pressed a dagger with a cold light close to the other person's neck.
"What is displayed in front of me now is not a small town, it is a huge magic fortress!!"
"Perhaps, I can think that you deliberately provided wrong information, which led to Commander Swain and the others being captured alive by those mages?!"
No matter how dangerous and difficult the mission is, Katarina will not hesitate to carry out her honorary mission in the storm of saw blade daggers. She will never back down. She can cut off the head of any enemy for the Empire, including Those enemy commanders or generals of the enemy country who are hiding among the armies.
but,
That definitely does not include the huge one in the distance, lying in the horizon of the Voodoo Land like a prehistoric beast, with countless luminous white mage towers as tall as clouds, lighting facilities as bright as day, and A majestic city with beautiful walls that are even taller than the Fortress of Noxus! !
That place was definitely not what the intelligence officer who was trembling under her dagger explained to him before. It was just a small town-like rebel station?
"..."
"Ka-Katerina-sama..."
"I swear, it was really not like that yesterday or earlier. I swear, I have personally come to check twice. It really was not like this before. In the name of the empire!"
Seeing the cold dagger with the terrifying and bloody smell lying across his neck, the Noxian spy wearing black tight-fitting simple leather armor suppressed the fear and vague desire in his heart, The two sides started to argue loudly.
"Sir, everything I said is absolutely true..."
"We just conducted an investigation a few days ago. It was not like this at that time. Those mages must have used some kind of evil illusion to deceive our vision. Maybe we can get closer and have a look?"
"I think……"
"That must be false. We can definitely sneak in smoothly, rescue Lord Swain or capture that Gregory's daughter, and then exchange her for..."
"Well?!"
However, before this man with a wretched look could continue and finish his feeble excuses and suggestions, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and then the whole world started to spin, and then, when he saw After a headless corpse dripping with red blood, he knew nothing...
"S-Sir..."
"What should we do now?!"
Seeing Katarina flicking the blood on the dagger, and then turning her head to look at him expressionlessly, the other assistant who followed couldn't help but take a small step back, and then he remembered something, and then He asked after swallowing reluctantly.
Because he himself is not from the Imperial Intelligence Department. He is an assistant sent by Lord Draven to assist Katlana. He has no direct or indirect connection with the unlucky guy who fell down and turned into a headless corpse. relation!
"..."
"Hmph! What to do?"
Katarina raised her head and looked at the gray Order Mage City in the distance, whose shape and architectural style seemed a bit too luxurious. Then she turned her head and covered a small part of her breasts with her long red hair. The left eye, which had only a deep scar, glanced coldly at the remaining assistant, who looked anxious and looked like he was useless.
Her judgment was different from that of the idiot intelligence officer just now. She did not think that the majestic magic city in the distance was an illusion created by magic.
"Since everyone is here, we must try to rescue Lord Swain and the others!"
"Let's go!"
"Now that the plan of infiltrating is no longer possible, let's go directly in and use our name as the envoy of the Noxus Empire to have a good talk with the mages who have defected from the empire?"
Turning the dagger in her hand, a cold light flashed through, and she instantly hid it in the scabbard in the cloak behind her. Katarina turned around and walked towards the three-headed dragon bird they were riding on.
Now that their previously planned plans of infiltrating, investigating, rescuing or kidnapping have been ruined, there is no need to disguise themselves. She now plans to directly fly the banner of the Noxus Empire envoy and go find those people. Let’s have a good talk with the mages who suddenly developed so rapidly in the voodoo land in the south of the empire...
Because, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible no matter what! Otherwise, I am afraid that before the Kingdom of Demacia, which is said to have fallen into a demonic disaster, collapses, their Noxus Empire will be the first to fall into the embarrassing situation of being torn apart and warlords fighting!
"My lord! Are you sure?"
"Subordinates, do you think we should go back and seek your opinions first? We now have three dragon birds. If we change our rides, we can return to the Immortal Fortress in one day at most!"
This assistant knows very well. It is said that when Lord Swain and the others came here, they seemed to come in the name of envoys?
But now, he was captured alive by others, and he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He was so tired that the entire Noxus Empire was in chaos, and it almost turned into a piece of loose sand! Under such circumstances, how could he dare to pose as an envoy to Catalina and negotiate with those unruly mages in the 'Gray Order'?
It's hard to say, they can get in, but they can't get out!
Although he is not afraid of death, he does not want to be inexplicably caught by a group of defectors who do not follow the rules and have no honor, and then throw him into a cell to die in that dark and humid place and become an anonymous withered skeleton!
"If you insist, you can leave both dragon birds to me and fly back first?"
"And if you don't want to, just shut up!"
"Now……"
"I have made my choice. No matter what the situation will be then, we must go in and take a look... Come and follow quickly..."
"Remember, only fools hesitate!"
Catalina herself didn't want to choose this option, because she was good at sneaking in and assassinating, and as for messengers, it was really not her specialty! Her sister would obviously be better at that kind of thing?
And if she could, she really wanted to sneak into the Gray Order station like a Noxian town mentioned in the original intelligence, and then do her best to rescue Sir Swain and the others from the empire! Of course, you can also choose to use the previously captured dragon birds to impersonate Demacians and capture Anne Hastur, the daughter of the mysterious warlock Gregory Hastur and his wife the Shadow Witch Amorin?
It's a pity that now she can only choose the worst option, and can only appear directly in the name of the messenger in front of the group of defectors who are said to have been part of the empire.
Of course, she actually doesn't have any chance...
After all, those people defected during the coup in the empire more than ten years ago. Perhaps they didn't know her true identity, but they only knew that she was the daughter of General Duque Cao? And this might be her opportunity to implement certain methods?
However, this was just her rough plan. She could only make other plans after she entered the amazing mage city in the distance.
"Yes, as ordered..."
——————
On an icy and snowy plateau with howling cold winds, a group of ice-field yaks with long horns and thick hair are pulling a convoy of sled freight vendors, braving the cold wind and stepping on the thick snow, struggling on Traveling at low speed on this icy northern plateau.
Sitting on top of the cargo of a snow sleigh in the middle of the caravan was a man wearing a white snow hat. Strands of long golden hair peeking out of the hat were flying in the biting cold wind. He was also wearing Wearing a thick blue and white plush dress, wearing the same style of snow boots, she was holding a stuffed toy bear in her arms.
Of course, in addition to her, there was also the old man with blue-purple skin, a long beard and a bald head who was wrapped in a thick blanket and only half of his face was exposed.
Obviously, this little girl wearing an expensive blue and white fox raccoon skirt suit must be Annie!
Sitting next to her was the wandering mage she met three days ago in a place called the Forbidden Stone Forest in the Kingdom of Demacia! The other party is a very powerful guy, and he also hides many good things called world runes that Annie is eyeing, but she is a little too embarrassed to just grab them by force!
then,
Of course, after discovering the good treasure, Annie immediately abandoned the mess of the Kingdom of Demacia, followed the wandering mage grandfather with a shy face, and followed this one to the north of Freljord. The marching caravan came here and came to this cold world of ice and snow.
Because, Annie, who has taken a fancy to something and vowed to get it no matter if it is good or not, will not give up easily until her desires are satisfied!
"Hello!"
???(?)????
"Grandpa Ruici, you know, I have always thought that guys with bald heads must be very powerful guys. Now look at it, it is indeed like this. The same goes for you with a bald head. You are indeed a powerful man. Where’s the guy!”
(*?′╰╯`?)?Great...
While talking, little Annie's eyes were still staring at the luggage of an old man beside her who was hidden in a thick blanket and seemed to be afraid of the cold!
Because she knew that there was a fragment of the world rune from the Kingdom of Demacia! Maybe, there are more others?
This matter is really such a pity...
Think about it, Queen Anne, she has been causing trouble to those pesky Demacians in the Kingdom of Demacia for several days, but she didn't even find that good thing, and she was robbed by this bad old man. Did you dig it out first?
"Annie!"
"You'd better keep your hands off the runes!!"
Ruici, who was hiding in the felt to keep himself warm, suddenly bowed silently and carefully moved the scroll bags and the space rune bag containing the world runes into his room. On the right, moved away from the little girl.
Ah……
If some malicious little guy thinks that Ruici can't see her little moves, then she is totally wrong!
"snort!"
o(′^｀)o
"I just want to take a look. What's the big deal?!"
o(lll￢ω￢)o
Shouldn’t good things be taken out and shared with others?
And now, since Queen Anne has taken a fancy to the world runes hidden by the other party, then he should openly show them to her. She just has a look, and she may not necessarily take them. No more!
Therefore, Annie felt that this stubborn old man must have been very naughty when he was a child. He must not have many friends. He must not have listened carefully to the advice of an old mother in his family, and he must not have learned that kind of thing. The beautiful virtue of taking out good things and sharing them with others!
In short, besides being very powerful, the bald man is certainly not a good person! !
"child……"
"Your power is already very powerful, so powerful that I often feel scared..."
"You shouldn't dwell on it anymore..."
"You may not know that these world runes are not good things, they are very dangerous... The power of darkness is peeking at it. Believe me, it is not a children's story or toy before bedtime. Although they have powerful Power and endless knowledge, but are they really not suitable for a little girl like you?"
When he was in the Kingdom of Demacia, Ruici inadvertently knew that the magic disaster was caused by this little girl. The other party cleverly used the Demacian people's forbidden magic stones that store massive amounts of magic power to easily accomplish all of this. !
In his opinion, it was an incredible miraculous spell...
Therefore, the little girl next to him at this time must be an amazing guy with outstanding talents! However, in his opinion, the other party's approach is still a bit too childish and meaningless? If it were him, he would never go to Demacia with nothing to do and spend his magic power and huge mental energy to do such boring things!
Moreover, transforming organisms is a taboo field...
He had never thought that a little girl could have that kind of knowledge and power? Of course, it is more likely that it is due to some kind of innate talent of the other party?
Otherwise, the power of the little girl next to me would be too terrifying...
"..."
(?_?)
"If you don't want to give it, just give it. What's the big deal?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Annie doesn't want to rob this old man's things yet, but...
If she had been following the other party and waited until the other party discovered the new world runes, then she would take the lead and steal the runes secretly, then there would definitely be no problem!
"..."
Ruici said nothing and continued to hide himself deeply in the felt.
Because he wants to save more strength and energy to do more meaningful things and protect the world of Runeterra.
"Well?!"
"Something is coming! But...I don't have time to deal with those guys. I have more important tasks..."
Suddenly, Ruici, who was about to continue persuading a certain little girl, suddenly stood up from the snow truck pulled by the ice field yak, and then stared at the snow field in front of him with bright eyes, a blue arc flashing in his eyes. After the magic light, he quickly returned to his original state.
He saw that there were some huge monsters coming under the snowfield. There were a little more of them. Although he should be able to defeat them if he put in a lot of effort, but...
"..."
Shaking his head, Ruici didn't say anything more, but silently picked up his luggage under the surprised eyes of others around him, preparing to teleport away from here first.
Just as he said, he still has more important tasks. Those things are related to the safety of the world and the lives of countless people. Therefore, he cannot waste his power here... Now this group of people is destined to He couldn't take care of the destroyed traders for the time being!
"Eh?!"
∑(′△｀)? !
"Wow! Looks like something fun happened?"
〣o(oΔo) o
There is no reason why Annie can't discover things that the bald old man next to her can discover!
Therefore, she also carried her little bear and jumped directly on top of the large truck. She even twitched her feet and looked at the snowfield in front of her that had no idea how thick the snow was.
'! ! '
At this time, the snowy cow of a sleigh truck walking in the front suddenly stopped. Not only did it not accept the control of the driver, but it also frantically wanted to retreat or escape?
'not good! There are snowworms ahead! ! ! '
Later, when snow marks larger than the trucks were raised in the snow, the leader who was still shouting and wanted to regain control of the caravan's mount shouted loudly and loudly, letting this man On the vast white snowfield, a trace of sadness arose!
Obviously, he must know what kind of thing they encountered! !
"well……"
I walk alone, and my companions are just a burden...
After sighing in his heart, Ruici shook his head and began to silently prepare his spells. He planned to teleport away from here directly before the group of snow bugs swallowed up the caravan and headed for his destination, which was deep in the mountains of the northern plateau. A small tribe of acquaintances!
Of course, he couldn't teleport there directly, he had to travel a long distance! However, after leaving the caravan, those roads were not easy for him to walk alone.
