Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 189 Leblanc's Depression
Iris looked at Li Ke in horror. What she was afraid of was not that Li Ke said her name. After all, she was born into the Kisira family, a family with hundreds of years of history and one of the oldest bloodlines in Noxus.

Although ancient, the Kythera family is not very famous. The only thing that Noxians know about them is the family's excellent genes, handsome men and beautiful women.

Elise became famous in Noxus for her beauty when she was very young. It was impossible for anyone who had seen her to forget her face. Although due to one incident, she had not shown her true appearance in Noxus for hundreds of years, it was normal for some nobles to keep her portrait in their homes.

It's not surprising that she was recognized.

But what frightened her was that this person actually said that person's name!
Even Iris had spent countless years gaining her trust little by little and finally knowing her real name!

"you you--"

"Forget you, Iris. If I'm not mistaken, she must be here now, right?" Li Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at Iris's suddenly trembling shoulders, and smiled.

Don’t be fooled by Iris’ face that looks only in her twenties and her tall and slender figure, but in fact, she is old enough to be Li Ke’s great-grandmother!
Li Ke, like many netizens who did not know the background story of the League, thought that Elise would not be too old, and that Elise's transformation into a spider by the Maw of Vileness happened in modern Runeterra. However, in fact, this happened hundreds of years ago. This is also a rare idea that LeBlanc did not make things worse.

The last sentence in Iris's personal background story proves this point exactly - in the past few hundred years, whenever Iris felt the call from the gods, she would return to the land shrouded in black fog, and would bring a fascinated suitor, or other easily manipulated souls, as a sacrifice to her own gods.

Therefore, this "little old lady" is a real monster that has lived for hundreds of years.

And how could someone like her really be willing to listen to the words of a "Marquis"?

You know, there are quite a few marquises who died at her hands. Therefore, it must be Leblanc's will that Iris can appear at the marquis's dinner and serve as Polly's guard.

Most of the events in Runeterra are related to LeBlanc. Li Ke often goes to see netizens discussing LeBlanc, and thus learns about the various things LeBlanc has done.

Her favorite method is to show weakness, keeping herself and the Black Rose organization dormant in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to reappear.

Just as she "died" at Swain's hands, today's dinner was obviously intended to rationalize Polly's death and then appear in the shadows.

But Li Ke saw through all of this!
Li Ke looked past Iris and at the masked servants beside Polly.

Polly also covered his ears, closed his eyes, and muttered something. Li Ke took a look and found that this guy might be saying - I didn't hear it. I didn't hear anything.

"Yeah, the magic fluctuations are not much different. That's right. If you want to hide, Swain can't do anything to you, and I can't find you either."

The atmosphere became a little tense, and Mel subconsciously held Jace's hand, looking at Li Ke while biting his lips.

"But you invited me but you didn't show up yourself. Isn't that not good?" Li Ke continued.

Earlier, Vandel rarely used his brain and said something like this. He thought it was very dangerous for the top leaders of the Twin Cities to all go to Noxus to attend the dinner. If Noxus were to go all out, it would be a serious blow to the Twin Cities.

But Li Ke was not worried. After all, he could summon Ahri to help at any time. A few dozen seconds were enough for Ahri to reveal her true form, overthrow Noxus, and safely send Li Ke and his group away.

Li Ke came with nuclear weapons!

Do you know what a human-shaped nuclear bomb is?!
Therefore, Li Ke loudly urged Leblanc to come out, and used the wind, preparing to call Janna over.

LeBlanc is very powerful, but she certainly hasn't reached the strength of a demigod, and Janna now has no problem dealing with her.

Don’t treat the mascot little blue bird as a god!

Just as Li Ke was about to act, a hoarse voice sounded from beside Polly, and a man wearing a white faceless mask walked out.

"What a surprise. I've never been with you."

His voice was hoarse and low, but it gradually became more pleasant as he spoke, and later on, it turned into a pleasant female voice.

The voice was very royal, but coming from a man, the scene looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

"We've dealt with each other before. How do you know my name?"

No, it's LeBlanc.

She stretched out her hand and took off the white mask on her face, revealing an ordinary face. This face was really ordinary, the kind that would not be noticeable at all even in a crowd, but the pair of eyes on this face were very beautiful. They were a pair of golden eyes, smart, intelligent, and cunning, and they were staring at Li Ke.

Another voice was heard from the side. It was the voice of a young girl. Another servant came out and took off his mask, revealing a cute face with freckles. He tilted his head and looked at Li Ke with golden pupils. He opened his mouth and said, "Did the wind spirit tell you? Or is it a secret you discovered in another world?"

"In fact, we have wanted to contact you a long time ago, Lord Zaun. You have the abilities we need." Another voice sounded.

Polly covered his ears and closed his eyes. The servants around him who had been quiet before suddenly moved. They took off their masks one after another and spoke in different voices.

A group of servants also appeared behind Li Ke. They also took off their masks, tilted their necks, and twisted their bodies. Like the servants in front of them, they began to ask Li Ke questions.

"You can go to the spiritual realm, and you know my name, so I am very curious, do you know of his existence?"

"Will you be our friend? Lord of Zaun?"

"Swain is not as good as you think. He is only for Noxus, but I am different. Come, join me, Lord of Zaun."

"Have you ever seen him in that world?"

"Don't be nervous. We don't want to be your enemy. We also saw what happened in Bilgewater."

"I apologize for Elise's previous behavior and I apologize for my own behavior."

"us."

The chaotic sounds surrounded the hall, as if ringing deep in people's minds.

Jinx swallowed, hid behind Li Ke, and carefully poked her cute little face out to look ahead.

Even Jinx was frightened by the strange scene before her.

The ceiling was destroyed because of Iris, the servants walked out from the shadows, the questions were asked at the same time, and those people behaved like puppets.

The same went for Katarina. She also swallowed like Jinx, but the difference was that Jinx hugged Li Ke's waist and hid behind his back, while Katarina tightly gripped the short blade in her hand.

Looking at the "people" around her, she took a breath.

She was still arrogantly thinking that she had done things smoothly and completed the task perfectly, but now it seems that she is just a chess piece that accidentally entered the chess game.

LeBlanc mentioned by the Lord of Zaun and Swain behind him are the chess players. If Li Ke hadn't suddenly stood up and pointed out the matter, could he really go back?

Perhaps, since LeBlanc clearly wanted to lull Swain into thinking she had succeeded.

Thinking of this, Catalina looked at Li Ke and said, "Although I think your reasons are not sufficient, I think I should thank you."

"So now, how do we get through this difficult time?"

Li Ke didn't expect Catalina to ask him this.

Looking at Katerina, Li Ke said with a smile: "Even if I don't take action, nothing will happen to you."

"After all, you've been watching the whole time, haven't you?"

"What?" This question was not asked by Katarina, but by Leblanc.

Twenty or thirty servants spoke at the same time, and the sound was deafening.

But after a strange "quack" sounded, all the sounds were suppressed. Li Ke looked towards the place where the sound came from, raised his head, and saw a black and red multi-eyed crow spreading its wings and standing on the chandelier, with its scarlet pupils staring at Li Ke.

"Haha, it looks like this isn't a good time to chat." Leblanc said with a smile when she saw the crow.

"Lord Zaun, I hope this incident will not affect our relationship. The Black Rose is willing to form an alliance with Zaun. You must know of his existence. If he comes back, not only me, but the whole world will be affected."

"The Black Rose needs your help."

"Well, see you next time."

As Leblanc finished speaking, the ground flashed with black light, and golden chains appeared, forming a huge magic circle on the ground. With a flash of black light, all the servants, including Iris and Polly, disappeared.

Catalina saw the crow and lowered her head.

It's Commander Swain. Here he comes.

"I guessed that you wouldn't join Leblanc. From what I know about you, you are a leader and won't bow down to others. But I didn't expect you to reject her directly."

The crow landed and appeared on Katarina's shoulder, speaking in human language.

"Li Ke, it's the same as Janna!" Jinx on the side clapped her hands and said in surprise.

Somehow, Jinx suddenly found the black crow and the blue bird very interesting.

"I can't compare to her." Crow shook his head and looked at Jinx. His tone was surprisingly gentle. He continued, "Even someone like me respects Janna."

"Okay, Li Ke, let's talk."

"Katerina will lead the way for you, and I will be waiting for you in the palace."

Before Li Ke could say anything, the crow exploded with a snap, leaving behind a few feathers.

Jinx was quick and snatched one quickly, then put it in her pocket.

Catalina's mouth twitched when she saw this. She wanted to ask Jinx to take it out, but when she saw Li Ke looking at her, she changed her mind and said, "Then please follow me."

At the same time, in the northern village of Noxus.

A woman with purple hair crossed her long legs, wearing a wizard's cloak. She had strange makeup on her face, which was more Gothic style. Runes flashed in her golden eyes. As she raised her hand and waved, a huge magic circle appeared in front of her.

"Buzz!"

The golden light dissipated, and Iris appeared on the magic circle, looking cautiously at the woman sitting with her legs crossed above her.

"Why did you act on your own?" The woman looked at Iris, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her beautiful face.

After hearing what the other party said, Iris knelt down quickly and said while crawling, "Lord Leblanc, I, I didn't know that Li Ke would show up. I just wanted to make this scene more realistic."

"I was thinking that if Polly had no guards around him and was easily stabbed to death, the other party would definitely not believe it."

"Okay, I believe you, Iris, but why did you reveal your true identity later?" Leblanc asked again.

She put down her beautiful legs, put her hands on her hips, walked down the stairs from the high place, and walked towards Leblanc step by step.

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground seemed to hit Iris's heart, making her more nervous.

Even though she had obtained the power of the Vicious Maw and had the protection of the gods, Iris was still afraid of Leblanc.

She knew very well that everything she had now came from Loveland.

"I do, I want to scare them away." Iris said.

Leblanc was silent. When she spoke again, her tone became cold. "You just need to do what I ask you to do. There won't be a next time, Iris."

"Yes, I was wrong." Iris said quickly.

Seeing Elise like this, Leblanc waved her hand and whispered, "Go back to the Immortal Bastion and use your connections among the nobles to help me find out what Li Ke and Swain talked about."

"Yes."

Iris said, and left the room.

After Iris left and there was no one in the room, the originally cold and calm Leblanc suddenly threw the staff in her hand aside in anger.

She gritted her teeth, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"It's all because of you disobedient subordinates that I look so stupid!"

"Do I have to teach you everything step by step? Can't you just obey my orders?"

LeBlanc growled as she pulled at her purple hair with both hands.

The reason she was angry was that it was the Black Rose organization that invited the people from Twin Cities this time. Originally, Leblanc wanted to get to know Li Ke first and observe Mel closely.

Because Leblanc suspected that the things that Anbesa stole were in Mel's possession, if possible, she wanted to make both Li Ke and Mel hers.

She doesn't care who holds the power, as long as the person who holds the power is under her control.

But the result?
Swain got a great advantage for nothing!
When it comes to Swain, LeBlanc is even more depressed.

Swain's current abilities are entirely hers.
Swain was the enemy she had created for herself!
And it is also the enemy that Leblanc has paid the most attention to in the past thousand years.

And now, because of Iris's unauthorized actions, he turned into his true form. Because of her appearance, Rick discovered himself and also realized Polly's fake death plan, so he went to Swain.
Damn it, it was that idiot Iris who made the decision on her own!

This is definitely not her LeBlanc plan stupid!

Because of Iris, she almost made another enemy for herself!
But Leblanc's anger came quickly and receded quickly.

After all, if she was really angry and distressed about this kind of thing, then she would really be angry to death in the past thousand years.

The plans she made often had various variables.

Besides, isn’t this good news?

That is. Li Ke didn't seem to be that hostile towards him.

Maybe, I still have a chance.

After smoothing her hair, she turned back into the wise, cunning and beautiful woman she once again was.

He raised his hand forward, with his white palm facing up, and saw a beautiful black rose appear there.

Leblanc whispered softly:
"It's not over yet, Swain. We shall see."
