Chapter 371 Dilishati’s conspiracy to betray Black Rose
Night falls.
A touch of coolness gradually appeared in the air of Bergün, dispelling the scorching heat of the day.
The dim starlight falls from the sky and blends into the dots of candlelight, reflecting the hazy outline of the city.
In the streets and alleys, soldiers from the Noxus Empire patrolled day and night to maintain order.
Their presence brought a sense of security to the city, demonstrating the authority and order of the empire.
Reiser Guard Secret House, backyard.
In the dark room, Huo Jixing suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of red-gold light ignited his pupils.
"Someone is secretly watching."
He turned his pupils, and many clouds filled the red-gold field of vision.
There are two colorful clouds representing extraordinary beings surrounding the room.
If it were an ordinary Leiser Guard Corps investigator, he might not be able to detect the secret spying.
Unfortunately, Huo Jixing is not an ordinary person.
But a strong man who has stepped into the realm of legend.
Buzz! Buzz!
The spiritual power spread like ripples in the air, silently touching the hidden positions of the two extraordinary beings.
“It’s a bit surprising that he turned out to be a transcendent from the Leiser Guard Corps!”
Huo Jixing recalled Dilishati’s performance during the day, and after thinking about it carefully, his eyes flickered. A chill.
“Spy on me?”
“Or spy on every investigator who comes to Bergün?”
He thought in his mind, slowly stood up, and gently held the spirit wind placed on the bedside.
"Two extraordinary beings can indeed deal with ordinary investigators."
"But I am not!"
Huo Jixing glanced at the sleeping figure on the bed The snow-white poro was picked up casually and stuffed into his arms.
In his field of vision, the clouds belonging to Dilishati were quietly disappearing.
Without waiting any longer, Huo Jixing's spiritual power directly disrupted the perception of the two extraordinary beings, causing them to fall into a psychedelic state.
Immediately, clouds and mist rose under his feet, carrying him out of the room and catching up with Dilishati.
Xiacheng District in the late night.
It is dark and cold, with few people.
The dim candlelight swayed in the cold wind, casting mottled light and shadow.
The figures I occasionally see are also drunken aborigines. They are oppressed by life and can only indulge in the world of alcohol.
Dilishati is very familiar with the terrain of the lower city and walks quickly in the dark shadows.
His eyes flashed with sharp light, always paying attention to the surrounding situation in case of any accidents.
After the cup of tea.
Dilishati walked through the narrow alleys, stopped in front of a hidden dilapidated house, and knocked on the door gently.
Three long and four short knocks on the door disappeared into the darkness with the wind.
Immediately afterwards, the door opened from the inside.
Dilishati still looked back uneasily before stepping in.
When all Dilichat's figures disappeared into the room, bursts of black mist emerged, obscuring all traces.
"Rune magic circle?"
Huo Jixing was surrounded by clouds and mist, suspended in the sky, and noticed subtle runic energy fluctuations in the room.
"However, it is too low-level."
He came to the sky above the dilapidated room, and his spiritual power ignored the rune circle and penetrated into the interior of the house.
"A familiar aura, a member of the Black Rose!"
There was a hint of coldness in Huo Jixing's calm eyes, and the corners of his slightly upturned mouth were like sharp daggers.
"You are so anxious to see me, has something happened?"
In the dim room, members of the Black Rose wore pure black robes with rose badges on their chests.
Dilishati frowned, not used to the lightless room.
“An investigator from the capital once again looked at Catalina’s traces.”
“And he also pulled out all the intelligence information on Bergune in the past two months.”
"Are you worried that he will see what we did?" the Black Rose member said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, all traces have been erased.”
Dilishati secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
As the person in charge of the Reiser Guard Secret Office and a high-ranking officer of the Reiser Guard Corps, he is well aware of the difficulty and ruthlessness of the Black Rose.
"However, we still need to monitor. There is news from the capital that important figures will come to Shurima. Let us cooperate." said the Black Rose member.
"Okay, I've arranged for people to monitor you." Dilichat nodded.
After a moment of silence, the Black Rose member slowly spoke up.
"Have you got the weapons?"
"Not yet. After the last rebel incident, the orderly officer Dorick specially registered the consumption of weapons." Dirichati He spoke helplessly.
“It will take some time to get it all together.”
Some time ago, a small rebel force from the tribe raided a small outpost near Bergun.
But they unexpectedly encountered the patrolling Noxian Imperial Cavalry, resulting in the destruction of the entire army.
While cleaning the battlefield, the Noxus Empire cavalry discovered some of the empire's standard weapons, which aroused the anger and attention of orderly officer Doric.
“We must get everything done within three days, otherwise the people in the tribe will lower the price.”
“You don’t want to lose gold coins, right?”
"I will solve it." Dilichat gritted his teeth and agreed.
Secretly smuggling imperial weapons, according to the latest laws of the empire, is a head-turning matter regardless of identity.
Even if there is a generous reward, he should not do it based on his status.
But he has a fatal handle in the hands of Black Rose and has to obey Black Rose's orders.
"Actually, you can get rid of the orderly officer Dorick, just like you did before, and replace him with an obedient one." Dilichat thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
"It's a good idea, but you can choose not to say it." Black Rose looked at Dilishati in front of her playfully. If she remembers correctly, Dilishati and Dorick have been friends for many years, and their family relationship has lasted for hundreds of years.
Such a friendship is no match for your own life.
"Not for the time being. Catalina's disappearance has attracted the attention of many people. We need to be careful." Black Rose suppressed the thoughts in her heart and refused.
"Okay." Dilichat was slightly disappointed.
"Well, contact me when the weapon is ready. Don't contact me at other times. I have important things here."
The Black Rose member snapped his fingers, closed the rune circle, and then blended into the shadows. Disappeared.
Dilishati was in the room and was in no hurry to leave.
He thought of Charles arriving in the daytime, and felt uneasy in his heart.
But he did not choose to tell the Black Rose members just now.
Dilichat also has her own plans.
Perhaps the existence of Charles will be a good trading chip.
He stayed for a while before leaving cautiously.
“What a crazy guy!”
Above the sky, Huo Jixing, who had eavesdropped on the whole process, looked surprised and let out a sigh of relief.
"Not only colluded with the Black Rose, but also secretly smuggled imperial weapons."
He thought of Dilichat's performance during the day, and then contacted the intelligence information from the Leiser Guard Secretariat.
“Well, this is a strategy to prevent the empire from deploying on the Shurima continent.”
Swain is preparing to absorb the wealth of the Shurima continent for a long time through trade cooperation and cultural invasion. .
But in the eyes of noble warlords like Dilishati, the indigenous people of Shurima are natural slaves and should dedicate everything.
What kind of trade cooperation and granting a certain status should not appear in the Shurima continent.
The most important thing is, as a class with vested interests in pioneering the war, how could Dilichat be willing to release his interests?
“But he shouldn’t do this either”
Huo Jixing rubbed the snow-white Poro with his head sticking out of his arms, his thoughts surging.
“Perhaps Dilichat has something that fell into the hands of Black Rose to explain everything he is doing now.”
He looked at Dilishati who was walking away, then at the black rose lurking in the lower city, and finally shook his head.
He can't pay attention to these nonsense things for the time being, and his first task is to investigate Catalina's whereabouts.
If you take action now, you may expose yourself.
"Death is staring, I hope you can enjoy the last good life."
The darkness passed, and the crimson dawn glow fell on Bergune.
Huo Jixing got up early and strolled to the backyard to exercise.
Just in time, Dilichat came over yawning and greeted each other.
“Good morning, Charles!”
“Good morning, Lord Dilishati.”
“How did you sleep last night?”
Dilichat stretched and said very naturally, showing no signs of being cautious from last night.
"Not bad, I am more adaptable to the environment." Huo Jixing responded, his smile filled with humility and sincerity.
The two talked softly and exercised at the same time. They seemed to have a very good relationship.
While eating breakfast, Huo Jixing said inadvertently.
“Lord Dilishati, I have made an appointment with the imperial warship, and I will board the ship and leave before noon.”
"Oh, where are you going?"
Dilishati put down the warm white bread in her hand and asked with a slight concern.
"Go to Naslamei first, and then go to Uzeris." Huo Jixing spoke bluntly without much hesitation.
Acting? So will he.
And with the addition of spiritual power, he is born to be a movie star.
"Yeah, it's similar to the direction of our investigation." Dilichat agreed.
"Wait a minute, I have something to give you."
Before Huo Jixing could answer, he quickly stood up and left the restaurant.
After a while.
Dilishati returned, holding a headscarf made of tulle with glittering gold threads embroidered inside.
"Take this, you can use it on the road."
He put the tulle scarf into Huo Jixing's hand and pointed at the flickering golden threads.
“These gold threads are the hard currency in Shurima continent. If you need to use them, you can just pull them out and use them.”
Seeing Huo Jixing hesitate, Dilichat was overjoyed, but he immediately concealed his emotion and pretended to laugh boldly.
“Haha, don’t care too much about your identity, learn to enjoy life in Shurima.”
"Then I'll accept it."
Huo Jixing hesitated for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and stuffed the gold scarf into his arms.
At noon.
Under Dilishati's special send-off, Huo Jixing boarded the imperial ship and sailed away from the port of Bergun.
“Finally left!”
Looking at the black ship in the distance, Dilichat's tense mood suddenly relaxed.
After the secret meeting last night, he received reports from two surveillance personnel, confirming that Huo Jixing spent the entire night in the room and never left.
This means that Huo Jixing has not found any useful information, which is good news for him at this moment.
The waves rose and fell, and the Noxian ships made a low, dissociated roar as they sailed on the Sea of Conqueror.
Huo Jixing stood in front of the window of the room, looking at Bergjuen getting smaller and smaller in the distance, with a smile on his lips.
"Leave Bergune?"
He shook his head slightly, retracted his gaze, and began to close his eyes to meditate.
