The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Six: The War Masons of Noxus

Lothar knew what a Noxus war mason was.

They are the most elite engineers, scouts and spies in Noxus.

Although not as good as Piltover, Noxus’ technological strength still has a place in the world, otherwise it would not be able to build a monster warship like the Leviathan, and the war stonemason is the representative of Noxus’ engineering technology.

“A Noxus war stonemason who sneaked into Piltover…” Lothar stared at Tamara’s face. The young girl was still in a coma. There were two small red holes in her neck. Liz’s fangs knocked her unconscious, “Where did you catch her?”

“After helping you steal the GLP-800, on the way back, I happened to see this kid buying crepes on the street.” Elise said.

“Crepe…is it the crepe shop in the square near the Oz Hotel? It’s the square with the fountain,” Lothar asked.

“How do you know?” Elise said unexpectedly.

“No wonder they’re there…” Lothar didn’t answer Elise, but had an inference in her mind.

“She should have come to steal information from Piltover.” Elise licked her red lips, as if she still couldn’t get enough of what happened just now. , it is only natural that Noxus would want to swallow it.”

“Swallow Piltover.” Lothar smiled, “I hope Noxus won’t lose its teeth.”

Elise raised her eyebrows unexpectedly: “I didn’t expect you to speak for Piltover.”

“I didn’t speak to it, I just stated the facts.” Lothar looked at Tamara’s sleepy eyes, lost in thought.

Usually a war mason sneaking into a city to collect information is a sign that Noxus will launch an aggressive war against it, not to mention that this war mason is Tamara. Although she looks very young, she is really in Noxus. Today’s Grand Commander, Swain, also has [Hand of Noxus] Darius, a war stonemason who works beside him.

“That guy Swain… What did he do while I was here…” Lothar looked up at the sky.

The one whose name was [Luo Sa] contained the double meaning of sun and moon. When he was in the universe, the sun and the moon were his eyes to observe the world. Most of the things on this land were seen by him. , but when [Luo Sa] came down and reunited with [Lothar], the sun and the moon could not be his eyes temporarily.

“Wake her up.” Lothar said to Elise. If she wanted to know what Tamara was doing in Piltover, it was the most straightforward to ask her directly.

“Are you trying to get a routine from her?” Elise laughed. “It’s very difficult to ask secrets from a war mason. They are all well-trained.”

“I have my solution, just wake her up.” Lothar said.

“Could it be…” Elise looked at Lothar’s legs.

“Don’t use your dirty thoughts to speculate on me all day long.” Lothar said sharply, “Wake her up quickly!”

“Okay…” Elise complained and lightly tapped Lothar’s chest, then stretched out her bare hand in front of Tamara, and snapped her fingers lightly.

Tamara woke up leisurely. She looked at a man and a woman in front of her in a daze. When she saw Elise’s expression, she was obviously surprised: “Mrs. Elise!”

Lothar grabbed Tamara’s cheek with one hand: “War mason of Noxus, what are you doing in Piltover?”

Tamara twisted her body in surprise, but she was tightly bound by some white silk threads. She looked at the man pinching her face in front of her, and then at Elise, who just smiled lightly. He looked like he was watching a play.

“What are you talking about?” Tamara quickly calmed down, “What war mason?”

“Stop pretending.” Lothar tapped Tamara’s face lightly with his fingers. “Although your Piltover accent is very similar, you can still tell that you are a Noxian.”

“What did you say?” Tamara asked suspiciously. She had trained for this infiltration mission for a long time. Not only did she forge a seamless identity in Piltover, she also behaved and spoke exactly like Mrs. Piltover.

“Your hidden plan has failed, War Mason.” Lothar said, “The Piltover guards have already spotted you.”

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about…” Tamara’s mind raced, trying to find a way out.

“When you went to buy crepes, did you see two beautiful policewomen by the fountain?” Losa said, “You should recognize them, the two most famous policewomen in Piltover, Caitlin and Wei, you Thought they just happened to be patrolling the square where you bought your crepes?”

Tamara’s expression froze.

“you alreadywas suspected. Lothar tapped Tamara’s temple with his fingers, “If I were you, I would leave Piltover before they have the evidence and send you to prison. No place will be kind to the spies of the enemy country of. ”

Tamara took a deep breath, looked at Lothar and said, “Who are you? Why are you with Mrs. Elise of the Zha’afan family?”

“You are not qualified to ask me questions first.” Lothar moved his hand to Tamara’s neck, “Answer honestly, who ordered you to come to Picheng, and what did you come for?”

Tamara’s expression remained unchanged and she didn’t say a word. She was a Noxus war stonemason and was well-trained. She even survived the anti-torture training and would not reveal the truth just because of Lothar’s two or three sentences.

“Do you want me to help? Honey.” Elise whispered in Lothar’s ear, deliberately making an ecstatic voice, “People can use poison to make this child shake out all the color of the underwear from his mouth. ”

“No need.” Lothar pushed Elise away, and then took something out of his pocket.

Tamara and Elise were stunned at the same time.

The thing in Lothar’s hand was actually a Noxus Legion Commander-level military emblem token.

This was given to Lothar by Swain when he left Noxus. In fact, it was used only once, at the Faelor Fortress that sealed Syndra, but then it happened that Syndra took the entire fort In the accident of moving to the sky, this token was also lost in the air fortress by Lothar. Later, Lothar experienced amnesia and a lot of other things. It was only found when the memory was retrieved and the sky fortress was rediscovered.

“Army… Legion Commander!” Tamara’s mind was confused, the token in front of her could not be a fake, Noxus’ military rank tokens were forged in a special way, and there would never be a fake one, but Tamar Even if Ra racked his brains, he couldn’t remember when such a young Ionian-looking legion commander appeared in the empire.

Elise’s beautiful eyes were slightly fixed. She could probably guess where Lothar’s token came from, but she didn’t say anything.

“I order you as the head of the legion.” Lothar snapped, “Tell me your mission.”

Tamara gritted her teeth: “I only take orders from my superiors. I don’t know where you are the army commander, but please forgive me for not following orders.”

“You really don’t know him?” Elise interjected at this time.

“Don’t talk too much.” Lothar frowned.

“It’s nothing to tell her.” Elise covered her mouth and smiled, “Do you know who killed Dark Will?”

How could “Dark Will” Tamara not know the last emperor of Noxus, “Didn’t he be killed by Commander Swain?”

“That’s right.” Elise smiled, “But Swain is not the only kingslayer.”

Tamara reacted immediately. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Lothar in surprise: “You are killed! That kingslayer!”

“Luosha… I haven’t heard this name for a long time…” Lothar shook his head. He was not interested in the name of the performance in the Noxus Arena. “It’s me.”

“It’s you…” Tamara was so surprised that she couldn’t close her mouth. She didn’t think Elise had to lie to herself, and in the story of the kingslayer widely circulated in Noxus, the one who helped Si The young assassin who successfully usurped the throne by Wein was indeed an Ionian-looking man. With the token in Lothar’s hand, Tamara was almost sure that the man in front of him was the one who killed Noxus Emperor Dak Will. people.

“Facing the Kingslayer, don’t you still want to say it?” Lothar’s nails scratched Tamara’s neck.

“Say it! I’ll say it!” Tamara’s attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. At this moment, she looked at Lothar without much vigilance, and replaced it with a special look. emotion.

Lothar knew this look. When Seraphine held a concert, her audience also looked at her with the same expression.

It’s not pure love or admiration, it’s more like…worship.

“That… I…” Tamara didn’t realize that she was still being tied up, looking at Lothar’s face full of longing, “I am Tamara, [Hand of Noxus] Dreyer War mason directly under Marshal Erth, when you and Grand Commander Swain killed the king, I was in the battle with Marshal Darius against Winter’s Claw in the Freljord, so I couldn’t see you .”

Lothar knew who Tamara was. [Luo Sa] noticed this young and promising war mason when he was in the sky, but he didn’t expect her to be his fan.

Lothar did not easily believe Tamara’s words. War stonemasons are superb spies, and everything she showed could be acting skills.

“I don’t need to say compliments.” Lothar didn’t appear approachable, “I asked you something, answer it quickly.”

“Yes!” Tamara wanted to salute, but she was tied up and had to give up, “After Grand Commander Swain established the Trifali Council, he focused on stabilizing the rebellion in Noxus due to the death of Dark Will. army, and slowed their advance on the Freljord.”

“Hmm…” Lothar also knew about this matter. The reason why Swain decided to overthrow Dark Will’s rule was because Dark Will relied on the strong national power of Noxus to squander and spend While the garrison occupied many coastal cities in the northern border of Shurima, it also waged wars on Demacia, Freljord, and Ionia at the same time. So now Swain decided to hide his strength and bide his time, shrinking the scale of the warNot surprising either.

But Lothar knew that this situation was only temporary. Noxus’ national system was destined to be unable to enjoy its own land in peace and contentment. It would be a matter of time before that military country provoked a large-scale war again. It is the foundation of Noxus.

Tamara looked at Lothar frantically, and continued: “After I don’t have to fight Winter’s Claw, I have no missions for the time being, so I volunteered to the Grand Commander, hoping that he can give me some missions during my spare time.”

“You really worked so hard for Noxus.” Elise patted Tamara’s small face.

“Ah… Although there are reasons for this, it’s not all of them.” Tamara said awkwardly, “I also want to accumulate more military merits, so that I can afford a house in the imperial capital after I retire from the army…”

“Don’t say anything else, continue.” Lothar urged.

“Yes!” Tamara coughed twice, “Commander Swain sent me to break into Piltover. There are two main tasks. One is to find out the city planning map of Piltover, find Get out of the city where the defense is weak.”

“Sure enough…” Lothar thought to himself, this is a common tactic used by Noxus to launch wars, using war masons to plan attack routes and timing.

“The second is to check the research progress of a Zaun scientist who has a cooperative relationship with Noxus. However, I really don’t know what the specific research is. The Grand Commander just asked me to remind him.” Tamara said.

“Zuan Scientist” Lothar’s heart sank. He keenly felt that this matter was not that simple.

“Speaking of the Zaun scientists who cooperated with Noxus…” Elise put her body on Lothar’s body, exhaling like blue, “The most famous one I know should be that man…”

Tamara looked at Elise awkwardly. She had met Elise a few times in low-alcohol wine. In her impression, the mysterious matriarch of the Zhavan family had always been very cold. The nobles hoped that they would have no way to kiss Fangze, but at this time, she was snuggling up to this kingslayer, and she didn’t look like the mysterious and majestic matriarch before.

Lothar pushed Elise away again. He knew who the man Elise was talking about was, but he needed to confirm.

“The Zaun scientist you mentioned.” Lothar said to Tamara, “What’s his name?”

Tamara hesitated for a moment, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, this is an absolute secret, so I really can’t reveal it…”

“Is it called Singed?” Lothar said a name.

Tamara was stunned. After struggling for a moment, she nodded with difficulty.
