The time card must be within three minutes.

Waved the attendant to leave, the girl sat in front of the luxurious crystal glass mirror, first put twelve magic steel flying knives as thin as cicada's wings into the scabbard at the base of her thigh and locked them tightly, and after confirming that there would be no problems, The girl put down her skirt to cover her flawless round thighs, and dressed herself expressionlessly.

Compared with the usual messy work and the makeover during the mission, this time the girl deliberately spent some unnecessary effort on her face, or spent an extra two minutes on grooming. There is actually no need to do so, it's just that Once the situation was completely different from usual.

Her master Xina deliberately told her to obey and please another man unconditionally, and this man was the first demon face lord who summoned ancestor Maurice according to the legend of the Jerister family, a man who was as immortal as a god— — Leicester.

For the first time in her life, Kelsey, who has been determined to follow the example of her ancestor Morris, inheriting the glory of the Emerald Leader Jerister family, felt the throbbing in her heart. It was a primitive desire beyond reason, eager to follow My master has made great achievements, fought in all directions, and killed all the enemies who hinder the progress of the Emerald Land with the glorious magic steel weapon in his hand, so that he can become a conspicuous mark on the immortal monument, and wait in the archives of the ancient castle. Later generations look up.

In order to follow in the footsteps of her ancestor Maurice, she has been doing her best to complete the training. It was not until she became a qualified Blade of the Night assassin that she understood the top secret hidden under the Assassin Castle, which is today's Emerald. The Lord of the Demon Face is the woman of the first Lord of the Demon Face, and the creator of the Edge of Night is another person.

When completing various tasks, she was always looking for any clues about the founder of the Edge of Night, but unfortunately, even after becoming a high-level assassin, the Edge of Night organization did not provide her with any valuable information. There is only one thing that is certain, that is, Blade of the Night, Lester, the founder of the Emerald Territory, is still alive in this world, and will regain the kingship one day.

Her thoughts stopped abruptly, and Kelsey looked at the indifferent and beautiful girl in the mirror. Before she smiled, this face that fascinated countless people was less friendly and gentle, and was too cold and severe.

Long black hair parted in the middle hangs down from both sides of the cheeks and is at the same level as the chin. Under the fluffy and thick bangs on the forehead are a pair of azure blue almond eyes like ice jade from the Freljord. The blade-like eyes refracted back from the mirror, giving people a feeling of being too serious.

Pursing her red lips, the girl slowly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing the most perfect arc.

It's not that she can't laugh, she just doesn't like to laugh. If she wants to, she can smile with more affinity than anyone else. Any expression is just a disguise to complete the task. She has already mastered the assassination technique of disguise To Huajing, but on the road to power, she has just started,

She still has a long way to go if she wants to be in charge of the entire Blade of Night like Maurice's ancestors, and pull Fred, the current leader of Blade of Night, from the throne of commander.

Recalling the handsome man not much older than himself, Kelsey Jerister slowly closed his eyes and sorted out his impetuous emotions. Even the breathing method passed down by the family could not suppress the throbbing in his heart at this moment.

After not seeing each other for many days, she waited again for a confession.

After opening her eyes again, the sharp edge had faded away, and the almost perfect girl stood up and left the room.

...

"Dongdong, Master Liszt, I'm Kelsey."

Along with the knock on the door, the voice of the descendants of the Morris family came from outside the door.

"come in."

Lester buried his head in the case without looking back, reviewing and sorting out the complicated power relations in Zaun today.

In fact, this is also the reason why he summoned Kelsey. This time he came to Zaun not only to find Heimerdinger and investigate the void changes underground in Zaun. His main purpose is to plan ahead in Zaun. And the ability to sort out information is the best ability of the eldest daughter of the Gerister family.

The Edge of Night does not lack excellent killers and assassins, but there are not many intelligence masters who can extract key points from clueless information at a glance. This is also an important reason why Hina focuses on training Kelsey. Under the rule, although the new generation of the old aristocrats will receive certain preferential treatment, they will not be able to fundamentally affect the important power components of the Emerald Land. At present, the rules of the Emerald Land are still those who are capable, and those who are not up to the standard are always Will be kicked down.

As for the rune fragments of the world, there is no change in the current rune crystal disk. Considering that most of the rune fragments are hidden in the underground world, Leicester can only wait patiently for the rune fragments to appear in the world by themselves, mobilizing the jade It is impractical to find rune fragments without the power of the leader.

While Lester was thinking, Kelsey had gently pushed open the unlocked magic-pattern steel door. The girl first bowed very ladylikely and saluted Lester as a Noxus lady before slowly After closing the door, he took a few steps forward and stood aside, his eyes glanced at the white-faced scops owl on Lester's shoulder.

If she guessed correctly, this white-faced scops owl is a fogtail killer, because ordinary scres-ops owls are not qualified to appear in this room at all.

"Lord Liszt."

Finally, he took his attention away from the document and looked it over for a while. Lester nodded to the well-dressed girl. He didn't expect that Morris with thick eyebrows and big eyes could have such an excellent descendant. It seems that in the past few hundred years The Rijrist family has done a lot of genetic optimization.

"Sit down, the tea has been washed, try the tea I brewed, eight minutes ago, the temperature should be just right now."

Sitting across the table according to Lester's instructions, Kelsey took a small sip of the teacup, the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, the tumbling tea leaves washed out all the aroma of the tea, she took a small sip, and lingered in her throat for a while. Bitter aftertaste.

When Kelsey, who was peeking at him, put down his glass, Lester asked with a smile.

"How does it taste? Relax, there's no need to be so nervous, just treat me as your friend."

"yes."

Kelsey, who tensed her body, nodded and spoke cautiously.

"Lord Liszt, I drank this cup of tea with three flavors, bitter, fragrant, and a feeling that I can't understand. Your tea ceremony has surpassed my cognition... Sorry, my knowledge is too shallow , let my lord laugh at you."

Hearing what Kelsey said, Lester's gaze softened a bit.

The girl in front of her read out his yearning for Soraka from the fragrance of tea. Although she couldn't describe it accurately, she was keen enough.

"Among your peers, you are already outstanding. A child of the Jerryst family, you don't need to belittle yourself in front of me. Whether you are excellent or not, I will judge myself."

"yes."

Not knowing whether her words made Lester feel dissatisfied, Kelsey didn't dare to say more.

Lester also refocused his attention on the information on the desk.

"Tell me about the current situation in Zaun."

"Yes, Master Liszt, Zaun is currently in the most critical period. The narrow sea lanes can no longer meet the increasingly prosperous ocean trade, especially after Noxus discovered the practicality of gunpowder in war. Zaun's A mechanic invented the first fixed-powder rifle, giving the Zaunites a strong defense..."

In the next hour, Lester roughly understood the situation in Zaun from Kelsey's narrative.

To put it simply, more than a dozen merchant families evolved from the [Shurima Caravan Alliance] successfully took root in Zaun. After a long period of development and game, under stable rules, the germination of science and rationality began The land of Zaun took root and thrived free from magic and otherworldly powers.

Building a science academy, holding regular science and technology exhibitions, and setting up a specific science and technology experiment field... All kinds of means make the people of Zaun stop relying on magic and gods, and start to change their minds and pursue science and rationality.

The peaceful and stable research environment has attracted many inventors and scientists who are eager to conduct academic exchanges. The merchant forces gain benefits by investing in these valuable talents with empty brains but lack of resources to develop technology and inventions. Inventors also become famous through their own inventions Overseas, establish your own family, and finally achieve a win-win result.

Steamships, internal combustion engines, mechanical workshops... Hidden behind invisible assassinations and secret games, one after another advanced inventions were born in Zaan. An advanced civilization known as Runeterra.

A large amount of wealth has completely changed the original barbaric rules of Zaan, allowing Zaan’s merchant forces to complete the original accumulation of capital. Most of the research results will be secretly shared among the major forces through the results of the game. No idiot would think Take this land of treasure and opportunity for yourself by force.

Any force that wants to monopolize Zaun will seriously affect Zaun's stable wealth and technological output. Because of this, even Noxus cannot dominate here, not to mention, the current Noxus The territory of Sri Lanka has not yet extended to the south of Valoran, and Noxus, who is at war with the Duchy of Valkers, has no time to care about him.

Including several families supported by Noxus and Emerald Leaders, many merchant families have the shadow of a certain country or secret force behind them. Each force can only increase its own power by supporting local or foreign families. Influence, destroying the order and rules with brute force will result in being expelled from the chess game by all chess players, unable to continue to obtain Zaun's new technological achievements through orderly operations.

Because of the seemingly fragile but extremely stable peace, Zaun, which is located in the military and transportation hub in the war-torn Runeterra, strangely has the opportunity to accelerate its development.

The merchant alliance that once controlled Zaan also formed a new governing body [Zuan Council]. The council is divided into the chairman seat and the deputy seat. The latter is the [Superior Status] prepared for those inventors or big businessmen who have no background and rely on wealth accumulation to gain status.

Class barriers in Zaun are now virtually non-existent, and anyone with a brain or business talent has the opportunity to become a leader in Zaun, either by trading across continents or inventing a technology that has never been seen before.

With the improvement of science and technology, ocean-going trading ships with larger tonnage have become a new force at sea. The narrow strait, which was originally only a few hundred meters long, has seriously hindered the further development of Zaun.

The existing ports are also unable to match larger ships with larger tonnages. In order to expand the waterway and build a larger trading port, the Zaun Council decided to use enough chemical bombs to carry out large-scale blasting on the Isthmus of Zaun through public discussions.

In the eyes of most Zaun people, as long as they use bombs to blow up those annoying stones, they can make their pockets swell again, and enjoy the development bonus of the times. The civilized Zaan people who don't know what poverty is naturally will not have any objection. Instead, they will raise their hands to support them. They can't wait to see the sky in the Zaan Strait become a place where all rivers and rivers can return, and let the cornucopia open its greedy mouth. , Swallowing all the wealth of the world into his belly.

Although [Blasting the Isthmus] is just a project project that has just been implemented and is still looking for a second party in the [Bidding] stage, the Zuan Council moved very quickly and decided to hold a technical seminar at [Fried Institute of Science and Technology Research], Waiting until the end of the seminar to hand over the start-up funds for the project and arrange for the successful bidder to complete the blasting work of the isthmus felt a sense of urgency to cut through the mess, and there seemed to be some unknown reason in the dark.

The Adrian family supported by the Emerald Collar is a family of big merchants who have mastered the formula of the Emerald Collar explosives and are preparing to participate in the bidding. Unfortunately, there have been some problems within this family in recent months.

Just three months ago, the patriarch of the family, Christopher Adrian, died in an accidental car accident. There are some "minor problems" in the monthly repayment of the An family to the Emerald Leader. Compared with before, the capital return of the Emerald Leader has decreased by 15%, and the attitude has also changed from a smiling face to a non-salty at a speed visible to the naked eye. In short, the envoys sent by the Emerald Necklace all sat on the bench.

There is no doubt that this behavior is slapping Jade Leader in the face.

Lester knew that even if he didn't come this time, regardless of whether it was Kelsey or not, Hina would send a hardliner to attend the technical seminar, not for anything else but to let Patricia Adrian know , Who is the real master of the Adrian family.

However, he did not expect that Hina directly sent the new generation of high-level assassins from Blade of the Night, Kelsey Jerister, who once led a four-person assassination team to assassinate a ruthless character from a hundred-man battle group on the Northland battlefield. , an assassin warrior who beheaded dozens of armed soldiers head-on.

With a plan in mind, Lester looked at Kelsey curiously.

"Kelxi, if this matter is entrusted to you, how will you solve it?"
