Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 188 My hands can reach even longer. Do you want to try?

The dinner officially began, and people wearing cloaks and masks were walking around in several halls. They were of different heights, weights and bodies, and Li Ke and his group were among them.

Led by Li Ke, everyone came to the concert hall.

Although Polly said that the ballroom was the hottest venue at the masked dinner, how could Li Ke not go to see the excitement at the moment?
The reason why Li Ke came to Noxus was to establish a good relationship with Swain. If possible, Li Ke hoped that the twin cities could exchange the forging technology of rune steel with Noxus, so that the technological level of the two cities could rise to a higher level again.

There is already an example of the combination of magic and technology, that is Hextech magic technology. Then, the rune technology that Noxus is proud of may also be able to be used. Even if rune steel cannot be used at that time, the Noxian people's accumulated experience in the use of runes will definitely be useful to the scientists of the Twin Cities.

Because the essence of Hextech Gem is to have runes engraved inside, and then use them to absorb the magical aura of Runeland.

It has the same function as Rune Gang.

Another thing is that Li Ke wants to talk to Swain. Li Ke hopes to cooperate with Swain to stop LeBlanc's plan.

Be it Azir or Xerath, they are both enemies that the Twin Cities cannot deal with now. But if they delay for a few more years, Li Ke might be able to deal with Azir and Xerath, and Heimerdinger's Hextech Tyrannosaurus has also improved. By that time, the thing made by the professor might become the secret weapon of the Twin Cities.

"I saw Polly, he's there." Mel approached Li Ke, stood on tiptoe and whispered behind Li Ke.

Following Mel's reminder, Li Ke saw Polly sitting in a corner of the concert hall, covered by a bead curtain. He was sitting on the sofa, and behind the sofa stood a group of masked servants. Only a little bit of their faces were exposed, and their bodies were hidden in the shadows. Rows of silver-white masks appeared behind Polly. The scene looked a bit weird.

The woman who made Li Ke feel strange before was also among them, standing in the third position on the left behind Polly.

"Are we going over there?" Mel then asked.

She frowned after she finished speaking. After hearing Li Ke's guess from Silko, Mel's first reaction was not surprise, but rather, "As expected."

As soon as Swain took control of the government, the Black Rose held a banquet and invited only middle and lower nobles, as well as people from outside Noxus. Mel hoped that the tit-for-tat between the Black Rose and Swain would not affect the Noxians if possible.

She now recognizes her position. She is Medarda Meir of Piltover, not Meir of Noxus, but she is kind-hearted and has unspeakable feelings for Noxus.

This is her hometown after all, and she naturally doesn't want Noxus to become more chaotic.

"No need, it's the same if you watch from here. If you get too close, you'll be affected and that'll be bad." Li Ke smiled and replied to Mel.

Beside Li Ke, Jinx's body was shaking. Although Li Ke was holding her hand, she was still swaying her body to the music in the concert hall. Her little chin was raised, her empty hands under the cloak were on her waist, the corners of her mouth under the butterfly mask were raised, and her eyes were bright.

Noxus' music is always passionate and exciting.

So even in "upscale" occasions like dinner parties, various war drum sounds are used as the background music, so it is really difficult for people not to sway their bodies to the music.

Li Ke looked around, and then he found his target.

He found Catalina, wearing a blue cloak. She was standing behind Polly's curtain, her hands hidden in the cloak, her body swaying in circles. Catalina blended well into the crowd around her and seemed inconspicuous.

Shaking her body, Catalina gradually entered the bead curtain. This behavior did not attract the attention of others. The guests inside the curtain were doing their own things, and Catalina was getting closer and closer to Polly.

Hilco and Mel were also watching, except for Jayce and Jinx. These two were really enjoying the dinner, eating, drinking and having fun.

Li Ke's eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people. When he saw Catalina's shaking body suddenly stop and was about several meters away from Polly, Li Ke narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Catalina's tense body suddenly violently moved. She leaped forward like a cat, and while turning her body, she knocked away a person in front of her. Her right hand, which had been hidden under the cloak, suddenly stretched out, and a flash of silver light appeared. Catalina raised the short-bladed scimitar and swept towards Polly's throat.

"It's just as you said." Hilko had also been watching. Unlike the people behind the curtain who didn't know what was going on, Hilko's mouth twitched as he finished speaking subconsciously.

Because the assassin failed.

Behind Marquis Polly, a dark red limb shot out, blocking the assassin's attack. At the same time, a seductive body "drilled" out from behind the sofa where Polly was sitting, and her slender legs twisted and stretched from the chin to the light, leaning against the chin with a twisting movement. She was wearing a black off-shoulder dress, her skin was snow-white, and her hands were covered with long black gloves, which gradually turned dark red at the fingers.

She wore a red mask on her face, a beautiful gold ring around her neck, and earrings on her ears. She stood in front of Polly, and the several "limbs" behind her were retracted and wrapped around her back and abdomen.

"."

Hilco was amazed by the scene. Li Ke was right. The woman was not human.

This woman would be like a, spider?
Jinx and Jayce turned their heads. The two guys didn't even know what was going on. They were staring at Polly's side.

After Catalina's assassination attempt failed, several guests behind the curtain quickly fled, but behind Polly, the group of servants still stood in a row in silence.

Li Ke looked at the woman with interest, and a name appeared in his mind.

Yes, Katarina is Swain’s subordinate, and this one is LeBlanc’s subordinate, her name is - Elise.

Spider Queen, Elise.

But, does this timeline match?
Has Elise gained the power of the Vile Maw now?

Li Ke touched his chin, looked ahead and began to think.

Behind the curtain——

Catalina, whose cloak was knocked off and her true face was revealed, was obviously frightened by Iris's image, but she quickly reacted and started fighting with Iris behind the curtain.

She was wearing a mask similar to Li Ke's, which covered the upper left half of her cheek. After glancing at Polly's position with her exposed right eye, Katarina's body quickly leaned back and dodged a spider leg that was stabbing at her face. At the same time, she stood up, holding the rune dagger, and rushed towards Iris, forcing the other party to the white cylinder.

The blade thrust forward, and Iris simply tilted her head slightly, raising her chin elegantly, the short blade just above her side.

Katarina reacted, swinging her arms and dragging the dagger, ready to cut Iris's neck, but the two spider legs blocked the dagger.

Under Iris's red mask, a pair of red eyes looked at Katarina coldly. Her mask suddenly moved, and several gray spiders emerged from under and behind Iris's mask, and then pounced on Katarina.

She lifted the short blade upwards and knocked away the small spiders that were rushing towards her. Catalina pushed the ground hard with her long legs in short-heeled boots under her long skirt, and her body flew backwards. She turned around and shook off the spiders. She took the opportunity to take a look at Polly's position.

The next moment, Iris in front of her raised her hands, and dense spider silk flew towards Katarina along with Iris's fingers.

"!"

The short blade cut the spider silk. Facing Iris's attack, Catalina's body flashed lightly on the spot like dancing. The short blade in her hand flew out, but Iris's movements were no slower than Catalina's.

Several spider legs pierced the ground from behind. Her body was more flexible than Katarina's. With the help of the spider legs, Iris dodged Katarina's flying knife with more flexible and twisted movements. At the same time, she pulled the spider silk to close the distance between her and Katarina, and the small spiders on both sides also flew towards Katarina.

The two spider legs behind it merged and stabbed at Catalina. Catalina inserted a knife into the red cloth on the ground. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and pressed it on Iris' shoulder. Then, she used the force to fly upside down in the air and appeared behind Iris.

Iris turned around quickly, and the hunter's joy flashed in her scarlet pupils under the mask. She pounced on Katarina, who was frozen in the air, and her hand had already grabbed Katarina's face.

"Ah."

With disdain in her throat, Catalina suddenly disappeared in front of Iris, and she traveled through space and appeared behind Iris again, holding a dagger, standing upside down, with her long and well-proportioned legs dancing in the air. She pulled out the short blade stuck in the ground and turned her body several times. Catalina's tied red hair looked extremely beautiful under the light.

With a gleam in her eyes, she stood up and stepped to the side, raised her hands, and slashed the double blades towards the position beside her.

"Thorn-"

Blood gushed out, and Polly, who was standing aside, covered his throat tightly. There was confusion in his eyes, and then his body fell forward heavily.

The moment Polly fell, a shrill scream was heard.

"Stand back a little."

Li Ke raised his hand to protect Hilco and Jinx beside him, and used the wind to resist the countless spider silks that suddenly appeared.

"Spider, spider, what a big spider!"

Behind Li Ke, Jinx placed her hands on Li Ke's outstretched hands and looked up at the ceiling excitedly.

I saw that the ceiling was covered with spider webs, and a huge and terrifying spider was lying on it. Several pairs of eyes were looking at Katarina, with cruelty and viciousness in their eyes.

Catalina's assassination was successful, and when she turned around, she saw the huge spider on the ceiling. In response, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her beautiful face. She swung the blade and looked at the spider with incomparable calmness.

The target had been assassinated successfully. All she needed to do now was to go back and report. As for fighting with the spider, that was not even within her consideration.

Didn’t you see that when she was fighting with the opponent just now, she was also paying attention to the target’s position all the time?

Because of this, Catalina seduced Iris into her trap, used her own abilities to turn the passive situation into active, and assassinated Polly when Iris wasn't paying attention.

"Well, see you next time~" After saying that, Catalina flashed and ran out of the curtain.

When she saw a group of people still standing with their heads tilted, her eyes moved. She didn't expect that in addition to those "attendants", there would be other people staying in the banquet.

But she was not going to get to the bottom of it. After all, running away was the big deal now.

But just as he was about to reach the group of people, the young man with black hair and wearing the same mask as him pointed behind him.

"Are you sure you assassinated the real Marquis of Polly?"

"?"

Catalina stopped running and looked at the black-haired young man in front of her.

"You killed the wrong person. That person was not the real Marquis Polly. That person was just a fake."

"The target you want to kill is right there." Li Ke stretched out his hand and pointed at the fat figure among the attendants.

As Li Ke pointed his finger at him, a hint of panic flashed across Srilan's eyes.

At the same time, the big spider that was howling above but did not run out with Katarina also looked at Li Ke, and anger appeared in several of its eyes.

"Who are you?" The giant spider spoke in human language.

Catalina also reacted instantly.

Yes, the target this guy was trying to protect was killed by herself, but she didn't chase him out, she just kept screaming!
After Li Ke's reminder, Catalina also saw Srilan hiding in the servants' room.

Narrowing her eyes, she turned and looked at Li Ke, a man with black hair and black eyes. She had seen information about this kind of person from Swain.

So, Katarina asked tentatively: "Zuan Li Ke?"

"Ah."

"This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you?" Catalina took a deep breath and asked curiously.

She didn't think about running away at the moment. Although Catalina didn't think she could defeat the spider monster, because the big spider was obviously not targeting her, Catalina chose to stay.

Maybe she can borrow Li Ke to kill the real Polly.

After hearing what Catalina said, the giant spider fell down, turned into a human form, and appeared in front of Srilan. There were still several spider legs behind her.

Iris put one hand on her waist, her fair and beautiful face, only the size of a palm, expressionless, and said coldly: "Senator Li Ke, have you forgotten who invited you to Noxus?"

"I think my cooperation with Swain will be more pleasant than cooperation with Black Rose." Hearing this, Li Ke smiled, took a step forward, looked at Iris and said.

"You're stretching your hand too far. This is not Zaun." Iris said coldly, but did not move forward.

There are already many legends about Li Ke in the land of Valoran. This Zaun man is very powerful!
"My hands can reach even further, do you want to try?"

Li Ke raised his hand, and visible wind surrounded his hand, forming a wind sword. He looked at Iris calmly and continued, "Or, you can ask Leblanc to come out and talk to me. Maybe I will change my mind."

"Iris, you are nothing more than a slave of the Vile Maw. You are not worthy to speak to me."

"!!!"

The expression on Iris's cold face changed, and she looked at Li Ke in horror.
