Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

The crow's voice is a strong and magnetic middle-aged male voice. Even if you listen to it from the tone, you can feel the breath of the superior.

Katerina could feel that the owner of this voice should be a natural superior.

"Commander, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have suffered for me in the past few years." Ryan got up with a helpless look on his face, and the expression seemed to be facing his boss who was fishing for fish.

"Everything is for the empire. The empire has been occupied by rotten people for too long, and it should be cleaned up." The voice of the crow's master carried a dispassionate indifference.

Ryan heard nothing special, he always knew that the other party was a saint.

Yes, his evaluation is a saint.

That was a man who gave all his spirit, allegiance, faith, strength to the Empire. There is no right or wrong, no human nature, no good or evil, as long as the future of the empire can be continued, the other party is willing to try.

If it blocks the development of the empire, even if that is the current emperor, he will overthrow it.

Ryan stepped in front of the crow and stood still, with helplessness in his tone: "But all I can do is do something here to attract their attention."

"That's enough, Ryan, you will arouse their vigilance in the immortal fortress, and everything will go smoothly. As I promised, our empire will definitely surpass the Shurima that once was." The crow continued to speak.

"Under your coordination, I have always believed in this, but I don't want to be Xerath." Ryan teased.

"In your eyes, I'm just Azir, the tyrant of selfish desires?" The crow's tone revealed a mockery of the name.

Xerath and Azir were a pair of pinnacle rulers of the ancient Shurima era, Xerath studied magic, and Azir wanted to become a great Ascendant, an existence beyond mortals.

In the end, because of Azir's eagerness, Xerath found an opportunity and betrayed Azik to become an Ascended instead of him. But according to the information Noxus got from the Immortal Citadel...

Both Xerath and Azir failed, and ultimately perished along with the Shurima Empire, once powerful enough to rule Runeterra.

"You are far better than Azir, I always think so." Ryan smiled, "You are here today, I think you have some orders."

"I have been secretly watching every corner of the empire. Today, a powerful collision of energy has been triggered here, and I happened to sense your magical traces."

"It should be Hextech that caused the aftermath. I released the water curtain to block the shock wave, or I'd have to sleep in the square outside." Ryan shrugged slightly.

"Don't let yourself get comfortable, our days in Precidian hiding in XZ were much harder than this."

The crow preached a word, and then returned to the topic:

"Is that the Hextech you described in your letter? What they've developed is already comparable to Picheng Enhancement. The Victor you mentioned is indeed a genius, and I will promote the construction of the factory he wants. , one month will show him our sincerity."

"Piltover Augmented Technology? What is this? Piltover's hidden power?"

Ryan was a little surprised, he didn't see this from the Noxus intelligence. Picheng's strongest defense system today should be the H-28Q cutting-edge fort that fired fireballs today.

"It's normal that you don't know. That was a secret study conducted by the Philos family, once the richest man in Picheng."

"The Philos family, the owner is Stevan." Ryan said without hesitation, "I have seen him once, he is sickly and has a strong desire to control power. From his eyes, I can feel the desire for power, He probably doesn't have a lot of power in his own right."

"He's just a puppet. Philos' real power is named Camille, who was transferred from Piltover by the Empire a few years ago, threatening her with Piltover and her family. But what happened today, you You should see her soon."

"Sounds like the actions of those in the immortal fortress, but to be so valued by the empire, the things she is responsible for should not be weak."

There was a shallow smile on Ryan's face, and he didn't feel any trouble for the empire at all.

"She is responsible for monitoring the movements of Ionia. It is a perfect and sophisticated machine. The empire needs talents like him very much." Crow sighed, "but her heart is towards Piltover and her family, and she only wants to maintain the old Rules, but the layout seems too small.”

"Not many people have the kind of consciousness you have, Commander, we are all mortals." Ryan laughed and joked, "I understand what I should do, and in a few days, my letter of help should be placed on His Majesty the Emperor. The table is now, without Hexfly Gate, His Majesty's pursuit of the elixir would have slowed down too much."

"Watch yourself, be careful. The future of the empire needs you, Ryan!"

The crow said, the body began to spontaneously ignite, and the crimson flames wrapped it, and it was burned to ashes in a short while, leaving a wooden frame with some black marks.

After the crow disappeared, Ryan shook his head disapprovingly and muttered to himself:

"Commander, Wan Nian is really embarrassing me. But it seems not bad to be able to leave a mark in the history of Noxus and Runeterra."

After sighing, he turned his head to Katerina and asked with a smile:

"He is the founder of Trifali. How do you feel about this top boss?"

Katarina didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while before saying with a serious face: "As an imperial person, I think following him can see hope."

"Yes, hope. He is both absolutely rational and absolutely emotional.

Something is like a tireless machine. Sensually throw everything into the Empire, just for the best Noxus. " Ryan sighed.

Katerina's eyes hidden in the shadow flickered a few times, thinking about the scene of Ryan and the crow talking just now.

The other party and others are obviously planning how to rebel and overthrow the current emperor.

However, she herself was a little surprised, she didn't even feel any resistance, but had some expectations in her heart.

Noxus has complained about the emperor's absurdity in recent years, and it seems good that someone can stand up on behalf of the empire now.

And she herself, to be able to join this kind of process, can't say it is also a kind of honor.

Anyway, it won't involve his father who abandoned his daughter, nor will it involve the innocent family and the poor sister and mother among them. It seems to be good to try this.

"Miss Catalina."

Ryan looked at Katarina's looming face in the shadows, and suddenly smiled and said:

"What is the most important thing about an assassin?"

"Speed, and a sharp blade!" Katerina said without hesitation.

"Then now, let's learn how to increase speed and blade by magic. I think you have this talent." Ryan pointed to the bookshelf behind him.

"You want to teach me magic?" Katerina asked unexpectedly.

"Magic can't be taught, but runes and a few tricks can make you stronger. The empire is going to blow up, and you need to get stronger."

"I will be the sharpest blade in your hand, Your Excellency!" Katarina knelt down on one knee, her tone sincere.

Ryan took out a black-covered volume from the bookshelf behind him. This book was taken out of the luggage he was carrying a few days ago. It was a self-transcription of the Noxus Collection:

"From a certain sect in Ionia, it tells about some space tricks, using magic props or magic to communicate with the magical energy of Rune Land, in order to instantly appear behind the enemy. You can take a look first, if you don't understand, you can ask me, The magic item will arrive in two days."

"Thank you for your gift, I will not disappoint your expectations!"
