The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Covenant

Quinn soaked his body in the hot water pool, and couldn’t help but feel excited.

Katerina’s base is indeed very spacious. Although the interior is not luxurious, it is not something that ordinary people can afford. At least this is the first time that Quinn has taken a bath in this nearly ten-meter-long and wide bath.

Katerina was squatting by the bathtub and wiping her body with a towel, especially her private parts. She scrubbed her body repeatedly, and it seemed that she couldn’t get it clean no matter how much she washed.

“Fate is really wonderful.” A strange feeling arose in Quinn’s heart. The night before, she and this red-haired female assassin were still fighting each other, but now they were taking a bath together.

“How’s the injury on your leg?” Katerina asked suddenly.

“It’s okay…the scab has already formed…”

“It’s better to bandage it. I have bandages and potions here. I’ll bring them to you after taking a shower.”

“Hmm…” Quinn felt very awkward. Katerina’s tenderness was completely different from her attitude not long ago. “What is she thinking…”

Katerina finally washed her body and stepped into the bathtub.

Quinn and Katerina have only met twice, and each time they met they were enemies, but now they are facing each other frankly in the bathtub.

The atmosphere was momentarily awkward.

What’s even more embarrassing is that they had sex with the same man.

Katerina broke the silence first: “Very depressed?”

“Huh? Are you talking about me?”

“I see you’re not very happy.” Katerina leaned against the edge of the bath, raised her head and said, “It was your first time last night, too. I think you’re bleeding there too.”

Quinn really didn’t want to continue this topic, so she didn’t answer.

“But you must be much more comfortable than me. After all, you took the initiative to do it with him. I think you seem to be enjoying it.”

Quinn submerged half of his face in the water to cover up his flushed cheeks.

“Isn’t it just a film, if it’s gone, it’s gone, just treat it as a menstruation.” Katerina said, Quinn couldn’t see her expression, and didn’t know if she really didn’t care or was pretending Free and easy.

“Are you familiar with him?” Katerina changed the question.

Quinn got out of the water: “I’ve known him for less than a few months.”

“what is his name?”

“Luosha.”

“Ionian name, he is really an Ionian”

“At least that’s what he said, but I picked him up on the border mountains between Demacia and the Freljord.”

“Pick up”

After thinking for a while, Quinn still told Katerina everything about the first meeting with Lothar.

Not only did Quinn’s answer not bring Katerina closer to the truth, but it made her more and more confused.

After the two women finished washing, they wrapped themselves in towels and walked out of the bathroom.

“Go in and wash, hurry up, I still have something to ask you.” Katerina didn’t even look at Lothar, and went to find medicine for Quinn with her bare legs.

Lothar couldn’t help taking a few more glances at the two girls who had just come out of the bath. I have to say that they are really stunning. Katerina has an evil, sharp, aggressive and seductive look, while Quinn has always been full of heroism. Their wet hair is more feminine than usual.

However, the two women did not meet Lothar’s eyes from beginning to end.

“Did I really have sex with them?” Lothar suddenly walked into the bathroom as if in a dream.

When Lothar also came out wrapped in a bath towel, Katerina had already bandaged Quinn’s calf.

“sit down. “Caterina calmly let Lothar sit on the sofa opposite her, “We need to talk. ”

Quinn also took a seat together, and there was a distance between the three of them.

Quinn still looked very embarrassed, because he was still wrapped in a bath towel, so a lot of his chest and thighs were exposed, and Quinn could only cover it with his hands.

“Katerina, do you have any clothes to wear here?” Quinn felt that Lothar’s gaze seemed to burn through his skin.

Katerina said indifferently: “Only the clothes I usually wear.”

Quinn’s face froze, and Katerina’s outfit of small corset and tight leather pants was more revealing than she was only wrapped in a bath towel.

Katerina didn’t care about the little shyness in Quinn’s heart anymore, and faced Lothar seriously: “First answer my most important question. Based on the answer to this question, I will judge whether you are my enemy.”

Lothar couldn’t help but secretly glanced at the cleavage of Katerina and Quinn under the towels, and said seriously, “If I were your enemy, what would you do?”

“I’ll kill you.” Katerina said honestly, “Although your physique is very special, I also have many ways to deal with you.”

“for example”

“Dismember your body and seal it in a cast iron pillar, or simply push you directly into the furnace of the earth’s flames.” Katerina said calmly the words that made Lothar’s scalp tingle.

“Wait.” Quinn interrupted the conversation at this moment, “She said you have a special physique, what kind of special is it?”

Lothar stretched out a hand, and a piece of ice crystal condensed in his hand: “I told you, I was cursed by ice magic. I couldn’t control the magic in my body. The coldness kept eating back my body.”

Katerina and Quinn had no doubts about this, because they could feel the chill from Lothar just sitting a few meters away from him.

Quinn recalled the experience of waking up in Lothar’s arms this morning. At that time, she really felt like she was holding a block of ice.

But unexpectedly… I didn’t feel uncomfortable, but rather comfortable.

Quinn pinched himself secretly, letting himself forget these stupid thoughts.

“I know a thing or two about the backlash of magic.” Katerina said, “There are many mages in the imperial capital who hope to reach the sky in one step. They do dangerous magic experiments, and they usually end badly.”

She stared at Lothar with twinkling eyes: “But you are different, you are immortal.”

Lothar did not deny it.

“Why don’t you die?”

“Will you believe me if I say I don’t know?”

Katerina and Lothar looked at each other, and the former turned away first: “Second question, who is the person who taught you sword martial arts?”

“Blade” Quinn heard this word for the first time.

“It’s a martial skill that uses blades and sharp blades.” Katerina explained.

Quinn understood that Katerina’s superb use of throwing knives once pushed her to the brink of desperation.

“But will Luosha do it too?” Quinn couldn’t help but wonder how many secrets he still has.

“…” Lothar pondered for a moment, “When he taught me, [resources’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6 I asked who he was, so I didn’t know his identity either. ”

“What does he look like?” Katerina asked eagerly.

“I don’t know, he never showed his true face to me.” Lothar said truthfully.

Katerina let out a long sigh: “So that’s the case, then it makes sense, it seems that he is right…”

“Who”

“It’s nothing. Since he doesn’t want you to know, he has his reasons.” Katerina lay down on the backrest pillow of the sofa, her whole body relaxed.

“You know how to use swords, so we don’t have any reason to be hostile.” Katerina closed her eyes and put the back of her hand on her forehead. “In the future, we can take care of each other in the imperial capital. Maybe we can use each other sometimes.”

Lothar and Quinn still can’t understand why Lothar is Katerina’s friend because he knows how to knive.

“Although we are not enemies anymore.” Katerina’s tone turned cold, “But don’t think that I will forget what happened last night.”

She stood up, walked in front of Lothar, and poked her finger on Lothar’s chest: “Since you know how to use swords, you are a member of Noxus, and all your actions are for the benefit of Noxus.” .My account with you will be put aside for the time being, but if you dare to do any act of betraying Noxus in the future, I will revenge both public and personal hatred.”

Quinn didn’t understand what Katarina was talking about at all, and she knew very little about the internal situation in the Noxus country.

But Lothar gradually understood the general idea.

“The assassination master Swain found for me may have a lot of background.” Lothar thought. He stopped attacking me with one sword.”

“I don’t care where you are from, Ionia or Demacia doesn’t matter at all, Noxus treats them all equally, but I ask you.” Katerina looked down at Lothar condescendingly, as long as Lothar showed a little guilt, she Will attack it mercilessly, “Are you loyal to Noxus?”

“Loyalty.” Lothar wanted to laugh, “I’m going to kill the emperor of your empire, does that count as loyalty?”

Swain once said to Lothar that Darkwill is already an incompetent emperor, squandering national power in order to satisfy his selfish desire to prolong his life. Only when he dies can Noxus remain stable and strong.

From this perspective, Lothar seems to be really helping Noxus.

“Everything I do in the imperial capital is beneficial to Noxus.” Lothar saidI really didn’t lie.

Katerina stared into Lothar’s eyes for a long time: “Very good.”

The female assassin sat back in her seat and turned her gaze to Quinn: “Now it’s your turn. Based on your answer, I will also consider whether to continue to be your enemy.”

Quinn took a deep breath: “We have absolutely no purpose in targeting Noxus here. We just want to go to Ionia through Noxus.”

Katerina continued to ask: “The other woman, what is her identity, she doesn’t look like a soldier.”

“She is…” Quinn hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, “She is my escort.”

“It turns out to be a nobleman.” Katerina put her legs on the table, and Lothar seemed to have seen the scenery between her legs involuntarily.

“We will leave Noxus in the spring,” Quinn said.

“Even if I believe you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait.” Katerina said coldly, “The imperial capital has many eyes and ears, and sooner or later you will be discovered by others, and the head of a Demacian nobleman can be exchanged for a lot of rewards. Although you are very skilled, how long can you last without equipment or supplies?”

Quinn lowered his head, his face was solemn,

Section 89

Lothar sighed: “Caterina, can you help them?”

Quinn looked at Lothar unexpectedly, she didn’t expect this boy to speak for them on his own initiative.

“Why?” Katerina asked back.

“Because…we’ve all slept together?”

Lothar felt two menacing gazes at the same time, and hurriedly retracted his neck.

Katerina stared fiercely at Lothar, and tapped her fingers on the sofa: “If they are really just passing by, I can help them. I can let them live here temporarily. It’s safe here.”

A trace of joy appeared on Quinn’s face.

“But.” Katerina changed the subject, “I have conditions.”

Lothar frowned slightly, because Katerina did not speak to Quinn, but to him.

“You were given the blade weapon after you came to the imperial capital.” Katerina stared at Lothar closely, “It means there is some task for you to complete, right?”

Lothar was secretly dumbfounded. This young female assassin is not only powerful, but also has amazing intuition and deduction.

Seeing that Lothar didn’t speak, Katerina believed in her deduction even more: “Is that task a task with a lot of credit?”

“Can you get credit for murdering the emperor?” Luo Ang remained silent.

Katerina has already made up her mind that Lothar must bear a heavy responsibility.

“Why did father choose this guy instead of me…Is it because of immortality…” Katerina felt a little bitter and resentful in her heart, but she didn’t show it.

Katerina suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and said, “My condition is that I also want to join this mission.”

The air froze for a moment.

As an outsider, Quinn also felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

“This… I can’t decide.” Lothar was uncertain about this matter.

“Of course I know you can’t make the decision.” Katerina pinched her knuckles uneasily, “I just want to help you complete this task together, and you don’t even need to tell your superiors.”

“But……”

Katerina continued to persuade: “I don’t want anything in return. With my resources in the imperial capital, I can help you a lot.”

Lothar narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, “Why does she want to join so much…”

An idea suddenly came to Lothar’s mind.

In the final analysis, his purpose was to obtain from Swain a method to control his own Ice Magic. It didn’t matter to Lothar who was the emperor of Noxus.

But the deal between Swain and Lothar is unilateral. If Swain unilaterally breaks the contract after the deal is completed, Lothar has nothing to do.

He needed an insurance, a knife that might cut through the puppet strings that Swain had hung on him.

As long as I give Katerina quite limited information, I might be able to let her achieve this goal for me.

Seeing Lothar’s delay in speaking, Katerina gritted her teeth and continued to increase: “If you promise, I can forget about what happened last night.”

Lothar raised his eyebrows, and said tentatively, “Then… can we do it again?”

Dead silence.

Even Quinn opened his mouth wide, marveling at Lothar’s brazenness.

Katerina clenched her silver teeth, controlling the urge to stab the bastard to death with a throwing knife.

“Just treat it…just treat it as being bitten by a mosquito… Anyway, I’ve done it once…” Katerina struggled inwardly.

After a long time, Katerina put down her shoulders, as if giving up, and said, “One time…it’s fine.”

Now it was Lothar’s turn to be surprised. Katerina’s character was a bit unpredictable to him. Why would she pay such a price just to join a mission?

“It’s just a joke.” Lothar tried the bottom line and accepted it when he saw it. He didn’t want Katerina to really hate him, “You can work with me for a while, if you really have the ability to help me , I can let you join my mission.”

Katerina obviously showed joy, and hurriedly shook hands with him as if she was afraid that Lothar would repent.

The stone in Quinn’s heart was also put down. It is not only safe to live here with Katerina, but Mrs. Le Stara will no longer have to suffer.

But Quinn still has some doubts in his heart that have not been answered.

“Luosha.” Although Quinn didn’t want to talk about this matter, she had to know the truth, “Do you remember last night… what happened last night?”

Lothar let go of Katerina’s hand:”I don’t really remember clearly, I just remember… very comfortable.”

Quinn blushed, and she lowered her head to pick up something from her hand, which was the wine bottle she brought over specially: “Do you know this?”

Of course Lothar knew: “I got the wine from an acquaintance.”

“What acquaintance?”

“Why are you asking this?”

Quinn was a little embarrassed to say it, but he still said it: “Last night, it was because I smeared the contents of this bottle of wine on my wound that… I couldn’t control myself, and you…”

Lothar understood. He took the bottle and looked at Katerina: “You too.”

Katerina sneered and said, “I didn’t touch that bottle of wine, I was forced to do it by you.”

“That must not be a good experience…” Lothar apologized to Katerina in her heart, and then carefully looked at the wine bottle in her hand.

It was indeed the bottle he took from Elise’s house.

“It was found by Hua Luo.” Quinn explained, “It was found together with your body fragments.”

“This…wait!” Lothar’s eyes widened, “My what?”

“Your body fragments.” Quinn himself felt incredible when he said this. “It took me and Hua Luo a few days to put you back together from the fragments.”

This time not only Lothar, but also Katerina was taken aback.

“You mean…” Lothar desperately tried to remember, but couldn’t remember anything.

“Well…” Quinn said affirmatively, “You were killed by someone and then dismembered.”

——————————————————————————————————————

Many nations and cultures cannot tolerate dismemberment, and in some areas the crime of dismemberment is even worse than murder and arson.

The reason is that many people believe that only when the corpse remains intact can the sheep spirits in Kindred find those who can die peacefully. However, in a country like Noxus that worships the wolf spirit in Kindred, there is no such taboo, because the wolf spirit will be bitten into pieces anyway.
