Chapter 186 Red and Black
"Thank you all for coming from afar."
The fat man in aristocratic costume walked to Li Ke with a faint smile on his face. He rubbed his hands and then said, "You must be the Lord of Zuan, right?"
Li Ke nodded, and the fat noble quickly shook hands with Li Ke, and then looked behind Li Ke.
He seemed to have prepared in advance and accurately called out the names of everyone present.
"Welcome to Noxus, Mr. Silco."
"You are so tall and handsome, Mr. Talis."
"Hello, beautiful lady."
"Mer. About your mother"
Srilan is a very kind person. He does not have the evil spirit of a Noxus person, but looks like a gentle fat rich man. He even kindly asked Li Ke and the others to call him Kerry, not to call him Mr. Srilan.
Srilan Kerry. "Come on, everyone, please come with me, I have prepared a residence for you."
Srilan smiled and leaned over, stretched out his hand to signal Li Ke and others to walk forward.
Li Ke looked at the huge fortress in front of him and pursed his lips.
The Immortal Fortress, the central zone of Noxus, is said to be buried in a corner of the Immortal Fortress. This castle that has existed for thousands of years has countless secrets.
The layout of the fortress is circular in shape, from the outside to the inside, and the status of the people living inside will naturally become more noble. Among the buildings of different heights, surrounded by the black tower at the center is the most central black tower. It is a castle standing at the heart of the central area, surrounded by tall walls, which separate the interior and exterior of the immortal fortress.
In the middle, the streets are stacked with high and low heights, and canine teeth are intertwined, just like the huge mouths and dense teeth of a wild beast.
This huge castle is really hard to describe in words. It gives people a feeling of depression, which may also be related to its main color.
Red and black are the main colors of the immortal fortress. This huge steel castle is made of black stone and various black steel, and bright reds are everywhere in each part of the fortress.
The family flag is not known to be painted with red paint or dried red stone bricks. In short, even people like Jinx, who have always been carefree and cheerful, have become much quieter when they enter the Immortal Fortress.
Solemn, depressed, with a sacred and ancient atmosphere, the streets are narrow and claustrophotos, the eaves are all set up, and the city gates are majestic and grand. Everything here seems to be emphasizing one thing to the outside world, that is, the power and control of the empire.
"This place is not suitable for people" approached Li Ke, and Jinx muttered in a low voice.
Jinx really thinks so.
Zuan is also very depressed and crowded, but the crowded building complex does not bring a sense of depression and oppression, but instead adds a touch of life. However, it is different here, and Jinx will only feel uncomfortable here.
Li Ke agreed with this, nodded, and looked around.
Sri Lan noticed Li Ke's eyes and saw him looking at Noxus, who looked like a beggar on the roads on both sides. The fat nobleman smiled and said, "Don't care about them. Mr. Li Ke, in Noxus, only those who are unwilling to work hard and want to get something for nothing will live like this."
"They are all asking for their own sake. Whenever they are willing to join the army or find a job, they will not have no place to live, and they are hungry every day." Sri Lan's voice was filled with disgust for these people.
Li Ke smiled and said nothing.
Silco, who was walking behind, showed a mocking smile.
No.Try hard enough?
The despair in the eyes of these people reminded Silco of the Zuan people who were once poisoned by the glimmer of light. Thinking of this, Silco clenched his fists.
Li Ke was indeed right. His thoughts were indeed too extreme at the beginning. If people in a country have no hope for life and do not look forward to the future to welcome tomorrow, then the country will not be far from the demise.
Li Ke changed Zuan.
"Come on, go here." After walking with Sri Lan for about ten minutes, Li Ke and others arrived at the inner city of the Immortal Fortress.
The buildings here are even more dilapidated, but the people living here are all dressed in exquisite clothes, and from time to time, Noxus soldiers wearing helmets patrolling back and forth.
"The dinner will be held tomorrow afternoon. You can have a good rest today. I will bring people to pick you up tomorrow."
Sri Lan gave a noble ceremony on the black stone brick floor. After saying that, he emphasized: "Dear guests, there are many unsafe places in the depths of the Immortal Fortress, so please don't run around in the middle of the night. If you really want to go out and have a look, please be sure to bring the guards."
"Then, I will say goodbye first."
After saying that, Sri Lan left with a group of Noxus soldiers.
There are soldiers on both sides of the first floor, so Li Ke and others came to the second floor. The accommodation environment is not very good, but fortunately the place is big enough and there are many rooms.
"I thought they would give us a warning." Jace opened the window and looked out. After confirming that there was no one, he closed the window again and turned around and spoke.
The people who came to Noxus this time, Li Ke and Mel were the main invitees, while Silco had to come, after all, he had to be a role in the singing of the red face.
So, Jinx, Jace, and Sevika served as family members and guards respectively.
Yes, Jinx came as Li Ke's family, and Jace was as Meier's family.
"Get out of power? They won't." Mel was wearing a red dress and a big red shawl on her shoulder. She sat on a wooden bench and said, "Svein is an enemy of Black Rose. In order to protect Noxus, he personally executed his parents who joined Black Rose. At this time, Black Rose invited us to the dinner. The most likely thing was to deal with Svein."
"So what do we do? We can't really come to the dinner, right?" Jace leaned against the wall and looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke opened his backpack, took out a bottle of water and handed it to Jinkes.
After coming to Noxus, it is better to solve the problem of eating and drinking by yourself. Another thing is that even if the Noxus people don’t poison them, Li Ke didn’t plan to pour water with their dirty iron pot.
Silco took Jace's words and looked at Li Ke: "Do you choose Svein or Black Rose?"
"Well, if I really want to choose one, I should choose Svein." Li Ke said after helping Jinx unscrew the bottle cap.
He looked at Mel and continued, "You think so, right?"
"." Mel was silent for a moment, and then said, "From the perspective of the Noxusians, I chose to support Sviin, but as a Picheng man, I do not agree with supporting Sviin. Let Sviin and Black Rose continue to fight in the internal struggle and deplete the national strength of Noxus. The best choice for us is."
"Sviin will not do that." Li Ke shook his head and said with a smile, "He will compromise and give up the rights in his hands, so that the black rose can get out of the shadow."
"Mel, the rose hidden in the shadow is far more dangerous than the rose that appears in the sun." Li Ke said with certainty.
This is what I wrote in the background!
Although Li Ke is not an enthusiast of the Fist Universe, he must have known Noxus's background story.
After all, Noxus is a country that has never been low on topics since the LOL game. If you want to talk about the country of Runeland online, Noxus will always be the top two topics.
In the background, Svein divided the rights into three, gave them to Dryus, Lephran, and accepted all those who swore allegiance to the Empire.
Since then, the idiot beauty was pulled out by Svein and has since become active in Noxus as a "faceless person".
"This" Mel was stunned, then she took a breath and nodded, "If it was him, this situation could really happen."
Svein is too rational, and is so rational that he is indifferent. He will not judge things with emotions, but will judge something with absolute interests. "Then why should we attend the Black Rose dinner?" Jace narrowed his eyes and spread his hands. "To meet Sviin," Li Ke said.
"How to meet?"
"Shut up, Jace." Li Ke sighed.
Li Ke already feels that he is not good at politics, but compared to Jace, a science and engineering man, he seems to be pretty good?

Jess was a little unhappy when he heard this, and Li Ke's voice also sounded again.
"He will come to us on his own initiative."
Li Ke said affirmatively.
While Bilgewater was fighting with Oluoy, Li Ke accidentally saw the black crow in the sky.
The throne in the Immortal Fortress was destroyed, and a huge office desk appeared instead.
A middle-aged man with white hair was sitting at the table, lowering his head and writing something.
Aside from the side, the tall and thin man with a beard and tall man said, "The hereditary system of abolishing official positions and titles and the abolition of slavery. I said Sviin, my Grand Commander, are you really not afraid of death?"
The man's voice was a little sharp, with a strange sense of high pitch. He smiled and looked at Svein, and continued, "They would not agree. Even if they respect you and fear you, you are digging their roots."
Svein looked up, glanced at the man, and said calmly, "They can't agree."
"Then I want to ask, what does this announcement mean? There is a decayed force at the center of the great empire. It has never been cut off for hundreds of years. At first glance, it looks like a proud flower, and its roots are twisted and spreading in the dark."
"Who do you think I am talking about?" Svein put down his pen and asked the man sitting on a pile of books in the distance.
"How do I know you? Sviin, your mind is even deeper than that of a woman with a dead husband! Who can see through you the fuck?" The man laughed strangely, threw the documents in his hand to the side casually. He then put away his smile and said seriously:
"Svein, why can't you slow down? It's too fast, it's really too fast. You've just gotten to power. Apart from Du Kekao and the Assassin's Guild, there are not many people around you who support you."
"I can't slow down, Draven." Svein sighed when he heard the voice. Only in front of this old friend could he show his voice.
He smiled slightly on his cold face and continued to Draven, "If I take a step slower, she will catch up. I can only really catch her faster than her."
Draven pointed his hand aside, "Is it him?"
"Yes, a sect called Black Rose."
"But I remember when you killed Old Jerrico, didn't you completely clean up the sect?" Draven frowned.
For the vast majority of Noxus, the name Black Rose is very mysterious and is an unknown group of existences, but for generals like Draven, they naturally know that there is a mysterious sect in the Immortal Fortress. "I also thought I had executed her with my own hands, but that was just her conspiracy." Svein replied.
"Okay, then, what are you going to do with the dinner held by Marquis Poly?" Draven asked again, and he smashed his mouth. His beards shaking funnyly on his chin. He then said, "Zuan and the powerful people of Picheng attended this dinner. Don't tell me you don't know."
"I don't know how you did it. You obviously locked yourself in this room every day, but you know everything that happened outside. Then, you must know this, right?"
"Yeah." Svein nodded, then he lowered his head, picked up the pen and continued to write. "Hey, I'll ask you what you plan to do." "Twin Cities can't participate in this matter, just think they are here for a trip." Crossed off a name on the paper, Svein raised his head, closed the paper, and put it in an envelope.
Then, he raised his only hand, snapped his fingers, and saw a crow flying over, picking up the envelope on the table, and flying towards the heights.
"Of course, I will meet Li Ke and tell him that the warlords who attacked Piltwolf have been punished. In the future, Noxus hopes to cooperate with the Twin Cities and become friendly neighbors."
"It's so fucking funny. The small city-state that was once trampled to death by us at will has become the target of our cooperation." Draven laughed.
Svein glanced at him. If someone else said such a thing, he wouldn't pay attention.
But Draven is different, so Svein whispered: "Today is different from the past."
"Okay, go do what you should do, I don't need your protection."
"Okay, my commander." Draven snorted and he walked out the door.
Shortly after leaving with Draven, Svein took out a piece of paper again and began to write things again.
At the same time, on a high platform of the Immortal Fortress, a woman who hid herself in the dark saw the flying black crow. Seeing this, her originally lazy body tensed up.
Stand up and saw that she was wearing black leather armor. The buttons of the small black leather were not buttoned up, revealing her beautiful waist and abdomen. Above was the roundness wrapped in a black leather armor strapless, and downwards were the beautiful and strong abdomen, with obvious muscles on her waist and a large piece of tattoo.
The toes stepped on the ground lightly, and she jumped towards the crow with a light brisk manner, flashing a few meters away, but there was no movement.
The envelope was taken from the crow's mouth in the air. There was a slender scar on the left eye under the woman's red hair, crossing her eyebrows. This scar did not ruin her appearance, but instead added a different charm to her.
"Ha, do you need to kill a marquis this time?"
Tear the letter to pieces and she looked at a place.
There will be a dinner tomorrow, a dinner hosted by the Marquis of the Empire.
It was also the last dinner in his life, and
She would no longer fail.
