Chapter 292: Wheel of Time 2
Swain was not very curious about the Pale Lady, the leader suddenly chosen by the mages.
Because in Noxus, there are too many people like this who suddenly appear to snatch the fruits of victory, and they are from aristocratic families.
Noxus has been standing for so long, so it is normal that there are some old nobles. Their families have been passed down for more than three hundred years, but they are still just newcomers in front of these people.
What matters is the ability.
This guy who never shows his true face is a qualified mage leader, and it is enough for him to know this.
"I don't have any worries. If I have to say anything, it's just that the mages are too slack in their work. It's just a barrier to prevent the Ionians from invading again, but it hasn't been completed yet. It's really disappointing."
Swain looked at the pale lady in front of him. He didn't think that the other party was trying to plot something with him. His loyalty was obvious to all.
And anyway, the idea of plotting something in front of Darkwill's throne room was just too stupid.
"That's all?"
The Pale Lady sneered.
"This is not a spiritual realm. Those ninjas can certainly teleport over long distances, but as long as the abnormal beacons are removed and monitored, those ninjas will not be able to teleport without alerting everyone. That little time is enough for us to counterattack. The last time it happened was because the last mage leader was negligent, and he has already paid the price."
Transmission with a beacon and transmission without a beacon are two different things. She investigated after Li Ke and others left. Li Ke and others used the tokens in the hands of some spies from the Church of the Balance to come here.
So when they sneaked in, they did not cause much disturbance.
Later, when teleporting over short distances, the Mage Corps is fully capable of counterattacking unless they help.
"So, you have a way to stop it?"
Swain frowned. If that was the case, why didn't the other party say it? So many people from the Mage Corps died in vain because of Darkwill's anger, and the national strength of Noxus was wasted in vain!
"Yes, it's not that difficult. Of course, it won't be that difficult if our Emperor continues to kill people like this... I can tell from your expression what you want to say, 'Why don't you tell him about this?' It's ridiculous, Swain, has your brain been completely buried by loyalty? Do you think Darkwill will be satisfied with this result now?"
Swain subconsciously wanted to say yes.
But he hesitated.
If it was the young Darkwill, he would not care about such things at all. Instead, he would set traps with a smile, waiting for the Ionians to come here again, and then watch closely the expressions of the Ionians found something wrong.
He would even go on the field himself and kill those Ionians.
But now…
"I'm afraid that what our emperor wants is a barrier that will never be breached and disturbed. But to be honest, no one can meet such a requirement, so we can only let those mages who are not good enough and smart enough die, because only by watering with their blood can those who really need to calm down calm down and see the current situation of Noxus clearly."
Swain was silent. He smelled a conspiracy. For the first time, he carefully looked at this person called the Pale Lady. She obviously had proud curves, but they were hidden in the wide robe.
It is not difficult to guess from the other person's figure and voice that the other person is an extremely charming woman, but this woman's face is covered by a pure white mask that does not even have any facial features.
The Faceless One.
Does it mean it can be anyone or no one?
But he didn't understand why the other party would say such treasonous words in a place like this. This was the only reason why Darkwill was even more cruel than when he was young. Anyone who threatened his throne would be killed by him without mercy.
But what he didn't understand was why there was still laughter and joy in the throne room behind him. He could still hear the flattery and praise of those sycophantic ministers, as well as the sound of Darkwill enjoying the wine and food.
No reaction, no enraged guards.
There is only singing and dancing.
He felt his throat getting dry. Although he drank a lot of wine before leaving the throne room, he now felt cold all over and his mouth was dry.
Even the midday sun couldn't give him an ounce of warmth, there was only that chilly cold air.
"What do you mean?"
He didn't understand. This was not the Noxus he was familiar with. He turned his head to look at the guards, but found that the soldiers on both sides had no expression on their faces, but their eyes revealed desire.
Suddenly, a huge sense of horror attacked his whole body, and he suddenly realized that he might have deviated from the position he had set for himself , and was pushed to a position that should not be his by some people with ulterior motives.
In the torrent of this era belonging to Noxus, his position had quietly shifted, but he didn't know why.
But the Pale Lady just smiled. She looked at Swain and thought about what Li Ke had said.
"It's nothing special. It's just that most people hope that Noxus will become better now, rather than decline or even fall into depravity. After all, Noxus is always moving forward."
After she finished speaking, she strode down the steps of the main court, but Swain stood there in a daze. He looked at the silent guards around him and took a step forward subconsciously.
But just as he took the first step, the gate guard who fell behind him suddenly performed a Noxian salute to his back.
This discovery made him panic, and he subconsciously walked quickly, wanting to catch up with the pale lady to find out what was going on.
However, every time he passed a guard, he would hear the sound of armor saluting, and this sound was like the god of death urging him to die, making him panic and dizzy.
He felt as if he were in a dream.
However, no matter how hard he chased, he could not catch up with the pale lady who had put him in such a predicament.
He didn't know what kind of evil magic this was, but when he was exhausted and holding onto the wall, he suddenly saw a group of young officers.
These officers were promoted based on their military merits, and he subconsciously wanted to tidy up his appearance so that he could face these Noxian heroes in the best possible manner.
However, their words reached his ears.
"We Noxus, right?"
An officer hesitated but finally spoke out.
"...Stopped? Why do I feel that... the big shots above don't want to fight anymore? Is there a new direction for the empire?"
Swain was stunned.
Then, it was like a bolt from the blue.
