The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Vigil

Elise walked in the underground labyrinth.

This is a deeper underground than the old city of Noxus. Few people know that there is such a huge labyrinth in the underground of the imperial capital. Even if they know, those who enter will not be able to get out.

The capital of Noxus was a military fortress a long time ago, so there are many secret passages in the city, but the complexity and age of this underground labyrinth are far from those secret passages. Elise doesn’t know why someone wants to build such a The Maze, but she knew it was the only way to meet the Pale Lady herself.

Elise seldom meets Pale Lady directly. When Black Rose communicates with Pale Lady, she basically only needs to see her through the mirror.

But after Swain killed Darkwell, the imperial capital was no longer a paradise for the black rose to act recklessly. The way of communicating with mirrors was too easy to expose. Swain’s eyeliner was all over the imperial capital, and even the pale lady had to make concessions , was forced to give up using the mirror to communicate with other Black Rose members.

“Swain… is such a scary guy…” Elise was also curious about the great commander. He was originally just a general in the Noxus army. There is no shortage of soldiers, so when Swain suffered a defeat in the Ionian expedition, the puppet emperor Darkwill under the control of Black Rose abandoned him mercilessly.

But who would have thought that this crippled old man who was about to enter his twilight years would suddenly rise up and take control of the entire Noxus in one fell swoop. Even an organization with a history of at least a thousand years like the Black Rose would have to avoid it.

Elise shook her head. Dealing with Swain is not something she has to think about. Lothar is the only person she cares about now. As long as she can get eternal youth and life from Lothar, who is Noxus? Elise doesn’t care at all when she is in power. At worst, she will go far away and go to Piltover or Shurima. With her beauty and strength, she can live well wherever she is.

Elise is walking in the maze. She doesn’t know the way of the maze. She feels that the route she takes is different every time she comes here, but the pale lady will use the magic mark to guide her. Those mysterious things on the floor The symbol led her to the Pale Lady.

Elise likes the dark environment, but there is absolutely no light source in the underground labyrinth.The darkness disgusts Elise, even with her senses that are countless times sharper than ordinary people, it is difficult to see clearly in such darkness, but darkness has always been the symbol of Pale Lady, so Elise must endure.

The magic mark came to an end. Just as Elise’s high-heeled shoes stepped on the last magic mark, a woman’s whisper sounded from a distance in front of her: “You are back.”

“Yes, Ms. Pale.” Elise bowed slightly. Even though she didn’t see anyone, she knew that the most powerful witch in Noxus was by her side.

“Your injury seems to have healed.” Pale lady said.

“Thank you for your concern.” Elise showed a smile on her face, “I will ask you to take care of me in the future.”

“Now that Noxus is under the control of Jericho Swain, I can no longer take care of you like before.”

“Look at what you said…” Elise whispered, “The faceless man in Trifari’s council of three, isn’t it you?”

“No.” Ms. Pale denied directly.

Elise smiled and didn’t say anything. She was basically sure that the faceless man was the mysterious Pale Lady, or her puppet, but since the Pale Lady didn’t acknowledge Elise, there was no need to ask.

“Did you come to me this time because you want me to send you some more food?” Pale Lady asked, “Black Rose’s control over Noxus is not as good as before. If you want it, you have to wait.”

“I’m not doing it for the food this time.” Elise took a deep breath and told the whole story about the bet between Lothar and her.

“With your style of conduct, why do you want to kneel at that man’s feet?” The pale lady’s voice was rarely teasing, “This is not like you, Mrs. Elise.”

“I really love him.” Elise said nonsense that even she felt funny when she heard it, “I want to find a way that can satisfy me without ruining my reputation, please, Ms. Pale Think of a way for me, and I will definitely thank you.”

A woman’s hand that was so pale that you could even see the blue veins under her skin stretched out from the darkness and took Elise’s hand: “There is no need to thank you again, this time I will help you for free, just treat it as A gift to celebrate your recovery from a serious injury.”

“Free” Elise felt the coldness and softness of the woman’s hand, and felt alert in her heart. Free things are always worrying, not to mention that it was Ms. Pale who proposed “free”. She is not a friendly and generous lady. .

“Thank you so much.” Despite her doubts, Elise still thanked her.

“No, I hope we can cooperate more happily in the future.” Pale lady’s hand gently rubbed Elise’s palm, as if some close friend, “Actually, this matter is very easy to solve, you do as I said, not only It can allow you to win this bet, and it can also make Lothar feel good about you.”

Elise’s eyes lit up: “Is there really such a method?”

A vicious coldness came from the pale lady’s hand: “Beside Lothar, there is a woman named Syndra who is very jealous. You only need to…”

Elise’s eyes gradually became clear, and her beautiful red lips showed a beautiful smile.

It’s a pity that this smile bloomed in absolute darkness.

…

“You must have cheated!” Samira glared at Lothar, and angrily threw all the dominoes in her hand on the table. “How can you win twenty times in a row!”

“Twenty-three times.” Lothar smiled and pulled the gold coins on the table to him. There was already a pile of coins piled up in front of him. The money was enough to buy an almost ordinary residence in the imperial capital. , “If I really cheated and you expose it successfully, I will pay you double what you lost to me.”

“You said it yourself!” Samira seemed to be excited. She stepped on the table, rolled up her pant legs, and took out a large pile of gold coins from her bag and placed them on the table. “One more! I will I don’t believe you can beat me so many times without cheating!”

“What a rich woman.” Lothar sighed inwardly when she saw Samira’s bold appearance that didn’t feel sorry for losing at all.

It was getting late, Lothar, Samira, and Tyrone were watching the night near Darius’ room, Lothar and Samira were idle and bored, and Samira carried this Shurima area very Lothar also knew how to play popular cards, so the two started playing.

As for Tai Long… He didn’t say a word when he came over. He just sat on a chair and closed his eyes to doze off. Naturally, he had no intention of joining the game.

Lothar and Samira gambled a lot, at least the money they gambled in each game definitely exceeded the level of normal casinos. They all took off, and only wore a thin vest and breeches to play cards with Lothar.

Lothar curiously asked the tough sandman woman in front of her as she fled a pile of coins from her pocket, “Why are you so rich? Is Noxus’ military salary so high?”

“Fart!” Samira curled her lips in disdain, and she pointed to the carpets and wall hangings in Darius’ mansion, which were as plain as ordinary people’s, “Can you see that he is rich? How about the army? It’s also dead money, how can it be quicker to do bounty work?”

“So you’re actually a bounty hunter.” Lothar began to shuffle the dominoes on the table.

“Wait, no [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6 You shuffle! I come! “Samira opened Lothar’s hand, threw herself on the pile of dominoes and held them together.

“Okay.” Lothar said nothing.See, “But you’re such a bounty hunter”

Samira straightened up, put her hands in the pile of dominoes and began to shuffle the cards: “I’m a bounty hunter, but it’s not the same as ordinary bounty hunters. I do both military and civilian jobs. Just pay enough and be challenging enough.”

“I thought bounty hunters liked safe and lucrative jobs.”

“That’s a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.” Samira took out a tobacco-like thing from her pocket, threw it into her mouth, and chewed. “I’m different. I live to find excitement.”

“No wonder you like to gamble so much.” Lothar stared at Samira’s hand shuffling the cards, guarding against her cheating.

“Killing and gambling are the two most exciting things, aren’t they?” Samira grinned.

“I think it’s actually good to go to bed.” Lothar said suddenly.

“Hahahaha!” Samira laughed twice, and then showed a frivolous smile, “This is really the worst invitation I have ever seen! It’s too early for you to come with me for a night! I don’t like it You little white face.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard such an evaluation from the boy.” Lothar smiled. “But you really don’t think about it. I think you are very attractive.”

“I’m not an indulgent prodigal. I won’t sleep with someone I’ve known for less than a day.” Samira spat the tobacco on the ground.

“Don’t you really think about it?” Lothar pushed forward the pile of gold coins he had won, “How about I exchange these for you for one night?”

“What do you think of me!” Samira looked a little annoyed, “If you want to have fun, go to a brothel! I’m not a whore! Just concentrate on betting with me! Otherwise, I’ll cut your job Lose!”

“Don’t be angry.” Lothar said with a smile, “Look at your figure, let me…”

As Lothar said, he stretched out his hand to Samira’s chest.

“You!” Samira was furious, she directly took out a pistol hanging from her waist, and pressed it hard on Lothar’s forehead, “Get your dirty hands away from me! Otherwise, I will let you The brain is blooming!”

“The beauty died under her skirt, and I recognized it when she was taken away by the wolf spirit.” Lothar was not afraid at all, and actually stretched his hand into Samira’s chest, and slipped his fingers into her cleavage.

But instead of getting angry, Samira took down the pistol and looked at Lothar with interest: “How did you find out?”

Lothar took out a domino from Samira’s cleavage, and threw it back on the table: “I have good eyesight, and I saw your little moves when you lay on the table to prevent me from shuffling the cards. There used to be a female assassin Told me to be careful with women, they have too many places to hide things.”

Samira chuckled and pointed to the gun in her hand: “This didn’t scare you, you are not afraid that I will actually shoot you.”

“Of course I have the confidence to live under your gun.”

“Tsk, it really is not easy for Commander Swain to find someone.” Samira turned the pistol and put it back on her belt, “Okay, I admit it, since you found out that I was cheating , the matter of you touching my chest will be written off.”

“It’s an understatement that you’ve written off this sum. It’s obviously you who cheated.”

“Why don’t you cut off one of my fingers against the rules of the casino?”

Lothar smiled, and didn’t intend to get serious with Samira: “Are you still playing?”

“Stop playing, stop playing!” Samira waved her hand depressedly, “It’s a shame tonight, I lost so much money and you touched my chest, just wait, I will get it back sooner or later , not allowed [resource; source’ group]: 9? 8; 0; 2?. 0′. 5,, 8″5. ;6 Run. ”

“I’ll wait and see.” Lothar collected all the money he earned tonight, and planned to use the money to buy some expensive jewelry and other gifts for Syndra and Nami.

“Ah! I’m so bored.” Samira yawned big, she lay on the back of the chair, turned her head to look at Tai Long who was breathing quietly as if she was a dead thing, “Hey! Assassin! You’re still alive We are tired of playing dominoes, can you find some fun for us?”

Tai Long remained motionless and silent.

“Don’t make things difficult for him.” Lothar stood up and stretched his muscles, “It’s normal for an assassin who is used to keeping himself from being noticed not to speak.”

“What’s normal? It’s a boring gourd.” Samira picked up a domino and threw it at Tai Long. Tai Long didn’t even open his eyes, but caught the domino casually.

“It doesn’t look like he’s dead yet.” Samira boredly picked up one domino after another and threw it at Tai Long. After catching a few more, Tai Long didn’t bother to catch them, allowing Samira to throw the dominoes at him.

“Ah… boring and boring.” Samira stood up, went to the sofa in the corner of the room and lay down, “I’ll sleep for a while, call me if I need something.”

Lothar looked at Samira: “Aren’t you ordered to protect Darius? Why are you still sleeping?”

“I just came here after what my old officer told me.” Samira took out a blanket from her luggage and covered herself, “Actually, I’m not interested in this kind of non-exciting task. If I wait another two days If that damn killer doesn’t come to assassinate, I’ll just give up this mission.”

After finishing speaking, Samira closed her eyes, fell on the sofa and fell asleep.

Lothar looked at Samira, and suddenly felt that this woman and Olaf seemed a bit similar, both of them were looking for excitement and couldn’t sit still. The difference between the two of them might be that Samira was smart while Olaf might I was born without using my brain much.

Tyrone was taking a nap, Samira went straight to sleep, and the eyes were still openLothar is the only one left.

Lothar sat down again, listening to the silence of the night and the slight sound of Samira’s deep sleep. The ticking of the water clock in the room became the loudest at this time.

“Ahhh!” A scream broke all the silence.

Tai Long and Samira started up at the same time, and they rushed towards Darius’ room at the same time. Although the screams did not come from there, their mission was to guard Darius.

But just as Tyrone pushed the door of Darius’ room open, Darius had already stood in front of them.

“What happened!” Darius looked at the three of them and said in a low voice.

“Someone died outside.” Lothar said, he could feel that a life had passed away in Darius’ mansion.

“Go out and have a look!” Darius quickly put on his armor, took off his battle ax from the wall, and walked towards the direction where the screams came from together with Lothar and the others.

The entire mansion was awakened by the scream, but the soldiers under Darius showed amazing discipline. The soldiers on duty at night held up their torches and stood firm on their posts. Armedly rush out of the resting place, and stand by in your own combat position.

“So strong military discipline…” Lothar couldn’t help thinking, it’s not unreasonable for Noxus to become the strongest military country in the world, just the discipline of this army is enough to beat the lack of tactics in the Freljord Warriors and the scattered militia of Ionia.

“Report!” A soldier ran towards Darius, “A soldier in the third room died suddenly!”

“Death” Darius frowned, “Take me… let’s go there.”

The three of them followed Darius to the third room. At this time, the third room had been completely emptied, and a group of soldiers stood neatly side by side.

“Report sir!” A veteran-looking soldier saluted Darius, “I am the chief of the third liaison! A soldier died suddenly! The cause of death is unknown! All members of the third liaison are here now! Waiting for investigation !”

“Got it.” Darius walked into the third room with a sullen face.

A corpse was slumped in the corner.

He died miserably. Two huge wounds tore open his chest and abdomen respectively. Large pieces of internal organs fell out of his body, bleeding all over the place. No matter how you look at it, he was killed by him.

Darius clenched his fists. Under his nose, someone actually killed his own soldiers. This was almost a slap in the face of Darius.

But he didn’t get mad, he kept his composure. Darius turned around and looked at the three of Lothar: “My soldier is dead. Is this related to your mission to protect me?”

“I don’t know.” Lothar looked at the dead soldier’s body, “We have to find out the cause of his death first.”

“Leave the autopsy to me.” Samira seemed to be used to seeing bloody scenes long ago, without changing her expression, “I can find out the cause of death of this corpse by writing it down.”

“Let me do the autopsy.” The taciturn Tai Long actually spoke, “Only an assassin can make a corpse speak.”

“Let me do it.” Lothar also stood up.

“I don’t care which of the three of you will do the autopsy.” Darius said in a muffled voice, “We must find out who killed my soldier!”

Lothar looked at the other two. Each of the three wanted to conduct an autopsy on the corpse. Knowing how the soldier died would be of great help in understanding how the person who wanted to murder Darius would do it.

Lothar stretched out his fist: “How about we use wolves and sheep to guess?”

Guess the wolf sheep! Whoever guesses correctly is full.

The wolf ate the sheep, and the sheep ate the grass.

The wolf choked to death on the grass!
