Chapter 379 Leblanc's Job Application
On the other side, Leblanc and Talon were intercepted by Levi who fell from the sky before they could escape far.
Levi didn't rush to take action, but just looked at the two of them curiously.
A hooded teenager holding a knife:
"Tyrone?" Levi called out his name tentatively.
A black-haired girl holding a staff:
"LeBlanc?" Although the girl's appearance was nothing like the Deceiver in Levi's impression.
But Swain had said that Katarina had the scent of Leblanc, so Levi still guessed and called out her name.
"This..." Tyrone's expression was solemn.
He didn't know why Levi knew his name, nor did he know why Levi called his superior Leblanc.
But his instinct for danger as an assassin had already reminded him of the strength of the man in front of him. Invincible strength.
"Captain Lanfu," Tailong asked solemnly, "What should we do now?"
"What should I do?" Leblanc felt relieved.
She threw the staff in her hand at any time, and acted as if she was surrendering without any fight: "Surrender or commit suicide for your country, it's up to you. Anyway, we have already lost."
"I see." Tyrone was silent for a while.
He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally picked up the knife and was about to cut his neck.
"Hmm?" Levi frowned slightly.
The air pressure around Tyrone suddenly changed, and a powerful airflow descended from the sky, pressing him heavily to the ground.
His knife was also ruthlessly swept away by the air current, floating down to the ground dozens of meters away.
"Why do you want to commit suicide?" Levi asked him.
"Those who fail the mission must die." Tai Long said, "This is the rule of Teacher Du Kecao."
"But you've been here for a month." Levi asked again, "Didn't you learn anything in Zaun in this month?"
“I…” Tailong’s expression darkened. “I did learn it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have hesitated for a few seconds just now.”
As he said this, he struggled against the airflow on his body and tried hard to get up. He struggled so hard just to be able to commit suicide.
"..." Levi remained silent.
"You think I'm stupid, don't you?" Tyrone struggled to raise his head.
He thought he would see Levi's disdainful, mocking look, as if he were a fool.
But what he saw was Levi's warm and peaceful gaze.
"No, quite the opposite." Levi said, "I understand you, Talon. Many people in Zaun can understand you."
"We have all experienced the pain you went through in your childhood. We have all eaten moldy bread, worn tattered clothes, and experienced a life without dignity and hope."
"If someone could save us from this situation like Du Kecao saved you, we would probably be willing to give our lives for him, right? So we understand you, Talon."
"This..." Tailong had mixed feelings.
Levi actually knew his past and could really understand him.
He even felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the enemy in front of him. Perhaps this feeling was what the leader said... class friendship?
"Don't be in a hurry to die." Levi didn't try to persuade him any further.
As a loyal warrior who has been educated since childhood, it is not easy for Tyrone to change his mind.
And Tyrone is not stupid. What he needs is not more preaching, but time to think and change his mindset.
So Levi didn't teach him, but just told him: "Talon, your teacher Du Kecao's daughter has become a leader, why are you in such a hurry to commit suicide and sacrifice your life for her?"
"Wait a little longer and accept the labor reform in Zaun first. Maybe if you wait a few more days, your teacher will also surrender."
Tai Long: “…”
The airflow that had suppressed him and made him unable to move had disappeared without him noticing.
Tai Long looked at his knife that fell in the distance... He thought for a long time, but finally decided not to pick it up.
"Mr. Levi." Leblanc watched everything quietly from the side.
Finally, she asked with concern, "Why are you so familiar with Tailong, me, and the situation of Black Rose?"
"Could it be that as the incarnation of wind, the goddess Janna has some omniscient and omnipotent abilities?"
Levi holds too many secrets.
LeBlanc had been hiding for more than 1,000 years, and no one had discovered her true identity.
She has only been in Zaun for a month, but her name, title, and even appearance have already been drawn on the game cards by the Zaun people and added to the latest "Black Rose Expansion Pack" released this month...
So even the little kids in Zaun know that there is a Black Rose in Noxus, and in the Black Rose there is a bad woman named LeBlanc.
"How did you find out about me?" Leblanc wanted to know. She suspected that the secret demon that escaped from the Immortal Bastion was kidnapped by Levi. But even if it was that demon, he shouldn't know so much.
"No comment." Levi certainly would not explain to the enemy.
"Okay..." Leblanc was not surprised by this result: "Since you know me so well, we can talk about it."
"Talk?" Li Wei asked with a smile: "Do you think there is still room for discussion between you and me?"
"Of course." Leblanc said in a relaxed manner: "I think you should know what my purpose was in creating the Black Rose and establishing Noxus?"
Hearing this, Levi quietly put away his smile: "In order to accumulate strength to the maximum extent to fight against Modkaiser who may be resurrected in the future?"
"You do know." Leblanc's expression also became serious.
Mordekaiser, originally named Tharn Uzul, was an ancient warlord active in the last era.
Of course, calling him a warlord obviously lowers the quality of this man.
With Modkaiser's power, he was almost the greatest emperor in the world at that time, the most powerful warrior, and the most terrifying existence closest to a god.
But he was not a true god after all. This almost divine power did not bring him the eternal life he desired most.
As time passed, Mordekaiser died.
However, death was not the end of his life journey, but the beginning of a new round of terrifying journey.
This emperor who went to the underworld after his death was able to retain his consciousness with his strong will, and found a way to return to the material world from the underworld, and fought his way back from the underworld.
"I'm sure you know this, Mr. Levi." Leblanc observed Levi's expression: "The last time Mordekaiser was resurrected, he almost wiped out the entire Valoran continent."
"He is a complete tyrant, no..."
To describe him as a tyrant is to beautify it. Mordekaiser is a human-shaped scourge, an anti-human murderer.
Because Modkaiser is no longer a human being, but the emperor of the underworld and the monarch of the dead.
The purpose of his last resurrection was to kill as many humans as possible and create more undead, so as to expand the underworld army under his command and strengthen his own power.
In other words... the more people die on Valoran, the stronger Mordekaiser will become.
In Mordekaiser's eyes, humans are nothing more than a group of prey.
And this also means that the Leader and Mordekaiser, no, it should be said that humans and Mordekaiser, will never be able to coexist peacefully.
“As long as Mordekaiser is resurrected again, Runeterra is doomed to be in disaster.”
"I have worked hard to help the Noxian Empire grow step by step over the past 1,000 years, just to concentrate the power of mankind as much as possible to deal with this unavoidable disaster."
"This is not only for my own safety and interests, but also for the survival of all mankind." At this time, Leblanc behaved like a selfless human hero.
"I don't deny that." Levi commented bluntly: "From the perspective of all mankind, the Black Rose has made a contribution."
"But the species conflict between humans and Mordekaiser's Undead Legion cannot be used as an excuse to cover up the class conflicts within humans."
"Now that Mordekaiser has not yet arrived on earth, the main contradiction we face is still the contradiction between the people of Runeland's desire for a better life and the cruel exploitation of the world by the Noxian Empire."
In other words, the battle must continue.
The Black Rose cannot be whitewashed as human heroes. As a major part of the Noxian privileged class, they need to be thoroughly liquidated.
"I understand." Leblanc said frankly.
She has no intention of clearing herself or even transforming herself into a leader.
She just wanted to express: "Even if we are enemies, we can still cooperate in the future, Mr. Levi."
"You..." Levi frowned slightly: "Are you going to surrender?"
"Surrender? No..." Leblanc smiled and said, "If you have already entered the Immortal Fortress, then this can be regarded as my surrender."
"But now, I am just stating a fact. As you leaders said: things are in motion, contradictions are developing, and the main contradictions in society are not static..."
Now that Mordekaiser has not yet been resurrected, the main conflict is still the class conflict within humanity, and Leblanc and Levi are still enemies.
But both of them knew that Mordekaiser would be resurrected sooner or later.
"So, we will definitely be comrades in the future." Leblanc said confidently: "Even if you eventually destroy the Black Rose, you will not kill me."
"Are you so confident?" Levi asked her.
“Of course.” Leblanc smiled and said, “Because I am the one who knows Mordekaiser best, and you need me… In the words of your leaders, I have united front value.”
"So?" Levi frowned deeply: "What do you want?"
"A promise." Leblanc smiled slyly, "If the Leader defeats the Black Rose in the end, I hope you can forgive my past crimes and hire me as your personal advisor."
"Personal consultant?" Levi understood as soon as he heard it.
This woman wanted to leave a way out for herself, so that after the destruction of the Black Rose, she could let him and Goddess Gana protect her.
After all, LeBlanc betrayed Mordekaiser and sealed him back to the underworld with her own hands.
Although this was originally part of Mordekaiser's plan, the cruel and ruthless emperor of the underworld obviously would not tolerate any betrayal against him.
Once he is resurrected, Leblanc will die.
"If you want me to save your life, it's not impossible." Li Wei seemed to be thinking seriously: "You do have united front value, but if you want to realize your united front value, you also need to fight for it in time."
Invest in Janna as early as possible.
Early investment is like sending timely help, and it is like abandoning darkness and joining light;
Late investment is the icing on the cake and is deliberate speculation.
The former can have a seat at the meeting, but the latter can only go to a labor camp.
"If you really want to be my personal advisor, you'd better do it now," Levi said.
"Now?" Leblanc seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary.
She smiled and said, "Excuse me, President Levi. Although the leader has great potential, he has not yet demonstrated the ability to win."
At this time, the Noxian Empire still had the upper hand.
The Black Rose's hidden card in the Immortal Fortress is no weaker than the Goddess Janna behind the Leader.
Even if Leblanc really went crazy and was willing to lead the people in surrender, those nobles would never listen to her.
The nobles would only think that the "emperor" was crazy, and then kill him and replace him with another one.
Of course, as an "emperor", she could secretly join Janna without telling the nobles, just like Prince Jarvan.
but……
"In the past 1,000 years, the only one who has the ability to make me surrender is Mordekaiser." Leblanc narrowed her eyes and refused to give in: "President Levi..."
"If you want to become my master, you have to show more strength."
"Okay." Levi didn't care much: "You missed an opportunity, Leblanc."
"I'm just not that stupid," LeBlanc retorted.
She asked in return: "So, President Levi, do you agree to give me this promise?"
This is clearly an attempt to get something for nothing. The man wanted to negotiate the remuneration with Leader in advance and then decide whether to change jobs after seeing the wind direction.
A typical opportunist.
As the leader of the organization, although Levi hates them, he will not treat this kind of people emotionally.
He just asked curiously: "Can I ask you a question? How strong is Mordekaiser? Can he be killed?"
Levi really didn't know how to kill a god of the underworld.
Can it be destroyed simply by violence, or does it require some special sealing technique?
"I don't know exactly how strong he is right now." Leblanc was not reluctant to share some information that she thought was not very important:
"All I know is that when I sealed Mordekaiser 1,000 years ago, his strength was no less than any demigod in Runeterra."
"As for whether Modkaiser can be killed..."
"Of course."
She had to use a trick to seal him because she was not strong enough. This does not mean that Mordekaiser cannot be killed, but can only be sealed.
"The undead are just another form of life."
"When a man is killed, he dies—as long as you are stronger than him."
It sounds simple, but it is not that easy to do.
Mordekaiser had already surpassed the power of the goddess Janna 1,000 years ago, and then secretly accumulated souls in the underworld for 1,000 years, and accumulated magic power for 1,000 years...
Is there anyone in this world who can defeat him? Not even a demigod can do it.
Please ask the giant gods from heaven and wandering gods from the stars to come and take a look, maybe we can still defeat us.
"It is almost impossible for us to defeat Mordekaiser head-on. The only way to stop this madman with the weak overcoming the strong is to seal him away again."
"And the only way to seal him is by me..."
LeBlanc was about to elaborate on her united front values.
Unexpectedly, Levi interrupted her directly: "Okay, since Modkaiser can be killed, we have a way to deal with him."
"Ms. Leblanc, your united front value...may not be as great as you think."
"You?!" Leblanc was shocked: "Do you think that Goddess Janna alone can defeat Mordekaiser?"
"Impossible! Even if it was Goddess Janna in her heyday 3,000 years ago, it would be impossible!"
"You underestimated the goddess Janna." Levi's eyes were calm: "You also underestimated the power of these hundreds of millions of mortals."
"Anyway, tell me straight out loud - do you surrender or not?"
LeBlanc remained silent.
Finally, she answered: "I said, if you want me to kneel down and call you master, you have to show me enough strength first."
"Tell me this again when you have defeated the Empire on the battlefield of Balue and sat on the throne of the Immortal Bastion."
"Okay, then we'll meet on the battlefield." Levi said, "Next time we meet, I won't be so polite to you."
A wind blade flashed by and cut off Leblanc's head.
…
Meanwhile, the Immortal Bastion.
Leblanc suddenly frowned.
"What's going on? Is there a situation?" The voice of her old partner, Vladimir, sounded in her ears.
"Nothing." Leblanc quickly regained her composure: "Just lost a clone."
