Chapter 369 The Desert City of Bergun
“Cassiopeia?”
The pale lady’s expression changed, and her dark eyes under the veil glowed with a dark light.
"What a wonderful fate!"
The tricks she once laid around General Du Couteau did not expect to bear unexpected fruits today.
Soleanna, as the wife of General Du Cacao, is well-known in the capital for her unique charm and wisdom, but secretly she has become an internal member of the Black Rose.
And through the subtle influence of Soleanna, Cassiopeia, the second daughter of General Du Cecao, also joined the Black Rose.
Under the careful guidance of her mother Soleanna, Cassiopeia grew into an extremely beautiful, cunning and intelligent young woman.
With her beauty and skills, Cassiopeia completed the Black Rose's mission many times and entered the more secret interior.
Even participated in the great plan formulated by the Black Rose in the continent of Shurima.
"A very interesting thing, is it the dispute over the heir of the Du Cacault family?"
"Did it cause the sisters who were once closely related to each other to become enemies now?"< br>
The pale lady’s thoughts flowed and she thought of Cassiopeia’s previous request.
She wants to secretly return to the capital of Noxus to participate in the battle for the succession of the Du Cecao family.
At the same time, she also wants to contribute the power of the Du Cacao family to the Black Rose.
After getting the consent of the Black Rose, Cassiopeia couldn't wait to leave the continent of Shurima and return to the Du Cacao family.
But it was shocking to find that Catalina had already won praise from all over the empire.
This caused Cassiopeia's action to be aborted before it even started.
She prayed that the black rose would give her more support behind her.
But Black Rose rejected her request after comparing the benefits and risks.
Katarina is not only a high-ranking officer of the Reese Guard Corps, but also has the reputation of being an ominous blade.
As for Cassiopeia, although she has the blood of the Du Cecao family.
But her talent and potential are worlds apart from Catalina.
Black Rose internally does not believe that Cassiopeia can fully control all the power of the Du Cacao family after becoming the heir.
In the end, Cassiopeia returned to Uzeris in embarrassment.
She didn't rest for a moment when she returned, and frequently took advantage of the Du Kecao family's strong strength in the Shurima continent to conduct many expeditions deep into the desert.
She looted many ancient ruins in order to change the internal evaluation of Black Rose, thereby gaining the support of Black Rose.
The reason why the pale lady has some impression of Cassiopeia is because not long ago she wanted to use the forbidden black magic circle, sacrifice her blood and life, and gain extraordinary power.
But at the last moment, Cassiopeia had to give up this idea considering the terrible failure rate of the black magic circle.
“Katerina is missing. This is unexpected news.”
The pale lady frowned slightly, and then a smile appeared on her lips, which made her feel much better.
After all, it’s time to wait for the right time!
She doesn't care about Cassiopeia's ambitions and actions, she only wants the results.
Now, Cassiopeia has successfully completed the layout——
Caterina has disappeared!
The pale lady lowered her eyes, looked at the prostrate figure in black robe at her feet, and spoke softly.
“Back off.”
After saying that, the pale lady seemed impatient and disappeared without waiting for a reply.
The night is as dark as ink and the stars are dim.
In the noble district of the Noxus capital, a bloody castle lay dormant in the darkness like a sleeping giant.
The thick castle walls are carved with battles and glory from ancient times.
You can vaguely see ferocious warriors wearing blood-colored armor, holding their weapons high, falling in the waves of starlight that fill the sky.
Suddenly!
Subtle spatial fluctuations broke the silence of the night.
Black mist filled the air, and the pale lady appeared out of thin air deep in the castle.
The lights hanging from the glass dome made her skin almost transparent, and her black gauze dress fluttered gently in the night wind, as silently as a ghost.
The pale lady looked up at the castle and walked slowly along the red carpet that was as bright as blood on the cold ground.
Every step he took was very light, as if he was afraid of making any noise and annoying the people in the castle.
On both sides of the red carpet, dim lights were lit, and the flames flickered to illuminate the way for this uninvited guest.
In the deepest part of the castle, the pale lady saw a huge blood pool like a small lake.
There was a figure lying quietly in the blood pool, it was Vladimir.
He closed his eyes tightly, seemingly unaware of the arrival of the pale lady, and still lay inside, indifferent.
Around the blood pool, several noble maids wearing transparent gauze were kneeling.
Their faces are delicate and charming, but their eyes appear hollow and numb, losing the vitality of girls.
At this moment, they were holding silver vessels in their hands, filled with pure blood.
Under the repeated movements of the machine, pure blood was poured into the blood pool, making the air filled with a bloody and strange atmosphere.
The pale lady looked at Vladimir lying in the pool of blood, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
As a last resort, she walked slowly to the blood pool and spoke softly.
"Huojixing will go to Shurima in the near future. Are you interested?"
The bloody lake was calm, and Vladimir seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, or entered To deep meditation, nothing happens.
When the pale lady saw this, invisible ripples appeared in her dark pupils, and the corners of her mouth under the veil slightly raised.
She immediately turned and left, just as she walked out of the door.
Vladimir seemed to be aware of it, suddenly opened his blood-red eyes and smiled slightly.
"Sorry, pale lady, I was just meditating."
"Are you anxious about coming here?"
The pale lady stopped and turned around slowly. After a moment of silence, she repeated her previous words.
"Huojixing will go to Shurima in the near future. Are you interested?"
Vladimir looked up at the pale lady in black veil in front of him and shook his head gently. .
“With his current strength, if I were to take action alone, it would probably be in vain.”
Vladimir is indeed very eager to get Huo Jixing’s flesh and blood, and attempts to Study the power of the protoss.
But three months ago, after Huo Jixing defeated the Embrace of Pain Evelin in Snow Ridge Town.
All the thoughts deep in his heart were cast into a haze.
A legendary strongman who defeated demons and possessed protoss-like talents,
Vladimir had already been extremely fearful in his heart, and he also regretted his previous decision.
He intended to obtain more objects containing the power of the stars, but he underestimated Huo Jixing's growth rate.
As a result, Huo Jixing's wings are gradually full, causing him to lose his good situation.
Vladimir’s eyes trembled, suppressing the fluctuations in his inner thoughts.
The most important thing for him now is to use the power from the Black Rose to kill the growing Huo Jixing.
The pale lady noticed Vladimir's change of mood and sighed slightly. She also felt extremely troubled by the grown-up Huo Jixing, otherwise she would have just left the Bloody Castle.
"I will arrange for someone to assist you." The pale lady said solemnly.
Vladimir raised his eyebrows lightly, his blood-colored eyes showing an interested look.
“Who is it?”
“Spider Queen Elise!”
Hearing the words of the pale lady, Vladimir immediately stood up from the blood pool .
The nearby maid stopped moving and knelt on the ground. Her empty eyes looked at the almost perfect white body, and there was a touch of burning heat.
"Elise?"
"Yes, she and Huo Jixing also have some hatred, so we can take this opportunity to get rid of this star spirit genius." The pale lady said slowly Nod slowly.
"Besides this, I will let all the power of the Black Rose in Shurima continent cooperate with you."
Vladimir walked out of the blood pool, floating in the air, and moved his finger. A red robe covers the body.
"It's not enough! I need to be absolutely sure."
"I made a deal with Elise. When necessary, she will awaken the spider god, the Vile Maw." The pale lady said with deep eyes. Final reply.
"Okay, arrange the time, I will set off as soon as possible." Vladimir nodded.
With God as a guarantee, he had no reason to doubt that Huo Jixing could survive this time.
As the first among many dark descendants during the Dark Descent War, Vladimir has some understanding of the power of gods.
That was an existence that even the extremely crazy dark descendants didn't want to mess with.
The pale lady looked at Vladimir deeply, turned and left.
Vladimir watched the pale lady's leaving back, his eyes flickered, and he stretched out his slender fingers and pointed them at all the maids nearby.
The maids' minds were still immersed in Vladimir's body.
The next moment!
Their bodies shattered without warning, and pure blood covered the ground, flowing along the gaps and into the blood pool.
Vladimir closed his eyes and enjoyed the blood infiltration, and his thoughts came to him.
In Black Rose, his relationship with the pale lady is equal, and therefore he has a certain fear of the pale lady.
"You have to make some preparations yourself, and you can't let others lead you."
Lokernde, in the port.
The golden sunlight shines diagonally on the blue sea, making the waves sparkle.
I saw huge ships loaded with cargo, either leaving or staying, creating a bustling port.
Huo Jixing was wearing a dark cloak and a black hood, walking on the street.
The snow-white Poro hidden in his arms curled up quietly, drowsy.
After leaving the capital, Huo Jixing directly concealed himself and came to this port city closest to the Shurima continent.
He weaved his way through the crowd to the military area of the port, preparing to sail to Bergun on a Noxian Empire warship.
Yes, he did not go directly to Uzeris where Katarina left her last traces.
Instead, prepare to secretly investigate Catalina’s whereabouts.
The first stop for Katarina when she arrived on the Shurima continent was Belgun.
She dealt with the conflict between the warlords and the indigenous people in Bergun, and stayed for two days before setting off for Uzeris.
Huo Jixing recalled the intelligence information in his mind, his scarred face full of serious expression.
He disguised himself.
Since it is a secret investigation, you cannot show your true appearance.
And on the way here, he thought about it carefully and felt that he could not completely trust the Reese garrison in Shurima continent.
One is the suspicion caused by the disappearance of Katarina, the ominous blade. A transcendent person has just lost his trace, and there are no clues left.
The second was the influence of Cassiopeia. He remembered that the second daughter of General Du Cacao had become an internal member of the Black Rose.
So, are the rest of the Du Kecao family innocent?
What’s more, what about the many forces affiliated with the Du Quecao family?
Before Huo Jixing left, he vaguely mentioned the situation in Shurima to Swain.
Swain could not deny it, but considering the empire's interests in Shurima.
It was impossible for him to completely veto all the years of hard work and efforts of the Leather Guard Corps in the Shurima continent with Huo Jixing's words.
In addition to the above two points, the most important thing is that Huo Jixing has not forgotten that Vladimir coveted his own flesh and blood.
Therefore, for this mission, Huo Jixing not only disguised himself, but also concealed his identity to avoid attracting Vladimir's prying eyes.
His current apparent identity is that of an investigator dispatched by the Reiser Guard Corps.
Swain had been paying close attention to Katarina's mission earlier, and dispatched investigators as soon as she lost sight of her.
The third batch of investigators sent by Huo Jixing.
In the future, there will be investigators going to various port cities in Shurima continent.
Arrived in front of the Noxian warship.
Huo Jixing looked at the imperial symbol carved on the ship and let out a breath.
After showing his pass to the Noxian soldiers guarding the ship, he boarded the ship.
An hour later.
The fleet group belonging to the Noxus Empire slowly set sail, leaving the bustling port of Lokrond.
A total of five ferocious warships, like five giant steel beasts, formed an arrow formation and moved forward through the waves.
The solid bow split the waves, leaving rolling foam behind.
Huo Jixing stayed quietly in his room, his spirit extended, reflecting the metallic luster of the cannon.
And powerful crossbows like king cobras were scattered on the deck and the ship.
Because of his status as an investigator of the Leiser Guard Corps, Huo Jixing received preferential treatment and had his own personal room.
Looking out the window, he saw the Noxian fleet sailing on the Sea of Conqueror, with the rising waves lapping the sea.
As the fleet sailed, the surrounding scenery began to change, and the moisture in the air gradually became slightly yellowish.
Shurima continent, Belgun.
Under the warm spring sea breeze, the calm sea surface rippled, and ships were loading and unloading cargo near the port.
Wow! Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of waves came.
People staying at the port stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sea.
All I could see within the field of vision was a group of Noxian ships flying crimson flags, breaking into the port like savage beasts.
These battleships are huge in size, with the cold light of metal shining on their decks, and their cannons and crossbows arranged neatly, giving people a chilling feeling.
Their arrival broke the tranquility of the port and plunged the busy ships and people into panic.
Many ships speeded up to avoid them, fearing that they would collide with these ferocious warships if they slowed down a little, resulting in the tragedy of destroying the ship and killing people.
All of a sudden, the sea became chaotic, and ships passed each other, causing waves of waves.
