Chapter 479 Elise’s Suicide Swain’s Worry
Winter season.
The rays of dawn fall like a delicate golden gauze covering the surface of the stretching buildings.
Huo Jixing stood in front of the window, looking at the bustling scene on the street, lost in thought.
Mordekaiser is currently being hunted by Kindred and can be ignored for the time being.
With Kindred's strength, even if Mordekaiser could escape pursuit, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.
The most important thing is that the Underworld Iron Armor has fallen into the hands of the empire and is under the control of Swain.
It will not be that easy for Mordekaiser to open the passage to the underworld again.
LeBlanc, who escaped, is always a potential threat to the Noxus Empire.
With Huo Jixing's current strength, it is still impossible to detect LeBlanc's special illusion ability unless he is close at hand.
Therefore, LeBlanc can easily hide from the Empire's spies.
Even when necessary, it is not difficult to rebuild a secret society like the Black Rose.
Coupled with LeBlanc's outstanding leadership and planning, it will definitely threaten the empire's future strategy.
"Maybe we can get some useful clues from Elise!"
Huo Jixing whispered softly, and Elise's old woman-like appearance appeared in his pupils.
Although Elise, who has lost the power of the Spider God, is no longer the high-ranking Spider Queen she once was.
But she still retains rich memories of her past, including her hundreds of years of friendship with LeBlanc.
At that time, Elise completed the deal on the Shadow Island through the Black Skull and LeBlanc, and the two had a close relationship.
"It has to be you, Elise."
Huo Jixing let out a breath, a smile reflected in his eyes.
Sealing the space channel of Shadow Island is the key information provided by Elise.
Now, to hunt LeBlanc, we still need to ask the Spider Queen.
Huo Jixing decided to personally visit Elise's place of imprisonment, hoping to get news about LeBlanc from her.
After enjoying breakfast.
Huo Jixing originally wanted to go alone, but he couldn't resist Annie's entanglement. Looking at the pitiful expression, he had to take her with him.
While they were strolling around, they headed towards the location of the Reiser garrison.
Elise is imprisoned in the prison in charge of the Leiser Guard Corps, and is equipped with a rune array specifically designed to suppress extraordinary people.
Leaving the busy streets, Huo Jixing and Annie entered a slightly quiet building complex.
The cold winter wind swept back and forth in the narrow streets.
Although the Reese garrison made great achievements in the operation to encircle and suppress the Black Rose.
But they did not relax at all, and remained vigilant and fully armed.
Especially in important areas, there are soldiers from the Reese Guard Corps on routine patrols, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.
Da da! Ta-ta!
Hearing the footsteps, the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps quickly clenched the sharp blades in their hands and stared at the street corner.
When they saw Huo Jixing and Annie, their expressions paused, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces behind the visors.
"Lord Huo Jixing!"
The soldiers of Leise Guard Corps immediately bowed and saluted, full of respect and loyalty.
Huo Jixing's extraordinary achievements in the underground castle have already spread throughout the legion, and many people regard Huo Jixing as their idol.
Huo Jixing nodded and passed by them, arriving at the location of the Leiser Guard Corps.
The dark building complex is located under the towering city wall, and dark red blood scabs remain on the surface of the solid steel city gate.
In the sky above the building complex, the crimson flag of the empire and the deep purple flag of the Reese garrison complement each other, and they sound together in the cold wind.
After entering the legion station, a quiet and solemn atmosphere hit us.
There is no hustle and bustle that can be seen everywhere in the capital, only seriousness and solemnity.
The echo of every step is particularly clear in this silence, as if even time has slowed down here.
Many soldiers wearing armor can be seen everywhere, and they are undergoing various training and mission preparations.
Someone is honing his skills in the training ground, the sword is shining and the cold is freezing.
Someone was studying the empire map in the war room, frowning, and seemed to be thinking about some important strategy.
The soldiers Huo Jixing saw along the way would look at him with respect, no matter what they were doing.
This is the respect he has earned with his strength, just like Swain and Darius, influencing the Noxians.
In the dark underground prison.
The dim light cast mottled shadows on the bluestone floor, and the faint glow barely illuminated the slightly damp ground.
In the corner of the prison, green moss covered the walls, and occasionally the sound of mice could be heard, paying no attention to the humans passing by.
Huo Jixing and Annie held hands and walked slowly along the bluestone road.
They did not let the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps lead the way, but chose to come alone.
In Huo Jixing's red-gold vision, the clouds belonging to Elise were very eye-catching, leading them forward.
After walking for 100 meters.
In the dark environment, a simple prison came into view of the two of them.
This prison is in sharp contrast to the surrounding environment. Its existence is extremely clean, without a trace of dust.
Huo Jixing and Annie walked slowly to the door of the prison and saw Elise lying on the shabby bed.
The once magnificent Spider Queen seemed to have become older and more haggard, with a turbid color in her enchanting eyes.
Elise closed her eyes and listened to the footsteps until the sound stopped.
She opened her eyes and looked out the door. When she saw Huo Jixing and Annie, complex emotions flashed across her wrinkled face.
"Why do you come here when you have time? Is there a problem with the space channel?" Elise said in a hoarse voice.
“It’s not a space passage.”
Huo Jixing didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point and asked about Elise.
"I want to know something about LeBlanc, preferably useful information."
"LeBlanc?"
Elise fell into silence, lowering her cloudy eyes. A trace of resentment and hatred flashed inside.
"In my heart, she is a complex and suspicious person. After thousands of years, she is very good at playing with people's hearts and tactics."
"And our relationship is a close friend"
Elise's voice was full of irrepressible emotions, as if they were squeezed out from the bottom of her heart and found an outlet to vent.
Elise used to be so arrogant, but now she has fallen into this situation.
All these changes can be said to have been changed by LeBlanc's invitation.
Otherwise, as Elise, a Spider Queen who believes in the Spider God, she will weave the legend of faith alone in the darkness.
Why be implicated in the fate of Noxus?
Today, when Elise has lost all her power and is behind bars, facing endless darkness and despair.
She was looking forward to rescue, looking forward to someone taking her away from this hellish place.
LeBlanc turned a blind eye to her suffering and showed no signs of saving her. The promise she once made came to nothing, leaving Elise to sink in the darkness.
Huo Jixing's eyes flickered. Hearing some familiar words, he looked at Elise in surprise.
"I'm sorry, it's absolutely impossible for you to leave, but I can change you to a luxurious cell and provide you with some delicious meals."
His eyes glanced at the straw under the shabby bed and the pile on the door Meals before, make a promise.
Elise looked at Huo Jixing, shook her head slightly, and continued.
"Our friendship can be traced back to the days of the Kythira family, and later reached its peak when I threw myself into the arms of the Spider God."
"Until LeBlanc promised me to become the Black Rose One of the leaders.”
Although Elise's voice was a little hoarse, it still maintained an elegant rhythm, representing the ancient bloodline in her body.
“The condition is that I need to go back and forth to the forbidden coast of the Shadow Island to bring back an object with power for the Black Rose.”
“Now think about it, how ridiculous, I have never I really got to know her."
Elise stood up with difficulty, leaned against the cold wall, looked at Huo Jixing, and confessed.
“My knowledge of LeBlanc is more based on trading, and I don’t know much about other aspects.”
"If you really want to find her, I suggest you explore those corners forgotten by history, and you may find something."
"This is a routine that LeBlanc has always been good at using, and it is also what we The place for every transaction between them."
After saying that, Elise felt an imperceptible expectation in her heart, hoping that the information she provided would be of some use to Huo Jixing.
Even if it is just a small help, at least give LeBlanc some pain.
LeBlanc's betrayal and indifference made her suffer darkness and despair alone in prison.
But the initiator of all this is at large, which makes Elise's heart full of unwillingness and anger.
Hearing this, Huo Jixing's eyes flickered and he began to think secretly.
"A forgotten corner of history?"
Elise's words touched his sensitive nerves, reminding him of some ancient places he had seen in intelligence letters.
He thought that maybe he could follow Elise's idea to encircle and hunt LeBlanc.
The prison fell into silence, and Elise stopped talking. After a few breaths, she looked deeply at Huo Jixing and closed her eyes.
She should have lost her power, but strange spider patterns were reflected in her blood-colored pupils, which shone with a dark light.
The experience during this period of time has made Elise understand everything.
Huo Jixing and Swain will never let her leave the capital of Noxus.
Faced with such a fate, Elise felt that instead of just waiting for death, it would be better to choose her own path.
Therefore, Elise decided to let her soul return to the embrace of the Spider God by dying.
Click!
Elise looked determined to activate the spider power in her body.
I saw the spider lines in the blood-colored pupils suddenly squirming, ignoring the rune array in the prison, and crushing the pupils.
Immediately afterwards, spider lines wandered around inside the body like living creatures, destroying all the organs and mercilessly devouring her life.
Elise didn't make any sound, she just endured everything quietly, her breath of life gradually extinguishing like a candle.
When the last ray of light disappeared from her body, Elise's body fell gently on the shabby bed.
Huo Jixing was just about to continue talking to Elise and ask for some useful information, when his expression suddenly became condensed.
He immediately broke through the prison, forcibly destroyed the forbidden rune circle inside, and quickly came to Elise.
Through mental perception, Elise's breathing has gradually become inaudible, like the tired wind passing through the fallen autumn leaves.
Then, her life breath quietly extinguished in front of Huo Jixing's eyes.
“Aren’t you so decisive?”
Huo Jixing sighed softly, stared at Elise’s gray face, and put away the Donghua Yimu Zhi condensed in his palm. gas.
He originally wanted to save Elise, but after observing Elise's body at close range, he knew in his heart that there was nothing he could do to save her.
"It seems that Elise should have planned in advance to return to the arms of the Spider God through death." Huo Jixing thought secretly.
Then, he stretched out his left hand and touched Elise's rotting body.
I am going to try to use the water of Rengui in the Xuanwu Star to see if I can find the breath of Elise’s soul.
After a while.
Huo Jixing slowly opened his eyes, and the Rengui water surging like black mercury disappeared into his pupils.
“My guess is right. With the aura of the Spider God, Elise has already made up her mind to die.”
He whispered to himself, his voice full of fear.
It is the fear of the Spider God!
The confrontation in the underground castle was just the coming will of the spider god. Huo Jixing did not think that he could kill the god now.
The sound of destruction in the prison attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps guarding nearby.
They rushed to the scene quickly and saw Huo Jixing and Elise lying on the shabby bed, losing the breath of life.
Huo Jixing calmly explained the reason for Elise's death and asked them to burn Elise's body.
Without any suspicion, the soldiers of Leise Guard Corps followed Huo Jixing's order and began to dispose of Elise's body.
Then, Huo Jixing turned to look at Annie, who had been waiting, and took her out of the prison.
Although Elise successfully committed suicide under his nose, he was not without gain and got some news about LeBlanc.
Capital City, Immortal Fortress.
In the audience hall, the bright yellow candlelight dispersed the darkness and illuminated the high platform below the throne.
Swain sat in front of the marble table, handling imperial affairs.
"What's the matter?"
Swain seemed to be aware of it and raised his eyes to look at the guard who was hurriedly approaching from the side hall.
"Lord Huo Jixing took Anne to the prison of the Reese Guard Corps to meet Elise who was in custody." The guard said respectfully.
"After a while of tea, Elise committed suicide in the prison cell."
Swain frowned slightly, waved his hand to the men in front of him to leave, and continued to handle matters.
He was not surprised by Elise's death.
As the chief disciple of the Spider God, the Maw of Despicableness, and the title of Spider Queen, how could Elise accept the pain of losing everything.
The so-called death is not a problem at all for those favored by God like Elise.
According to the records of the Noxus Empire, after death, the beloved of the gods will return to the embrace of the gods in the state of their souls.
What Swain needs to deal with now is the black rose issue.
He thought he understood the influence of the Black Rose on the empire.
But after interrogating many core members of the Black Rose, he learned that the Black Rose had long been deeply rooted and spread throughout all walks of life in the empire.
Swain’s eyes were cold, and he would never give up.
LeBlanc escapes, and Black Rose is hit hard.
This is the best time!
