Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 190 Jericho Swain
What happened before did not affect the interior of the Immortal Fortress. Li Ke guessed that there were two reasons.

One is the one who was invited by Polly to today's dinner, and nine out of ten people are related to Leblanc.

Another reason is naturally because of Swain. At this dinner, LeBlanc almost jumped up and told Swain that she was going to cause trouble. Do you think Swain might not be prepared?

Therefore, walking on the street, Li Ke followed Katarina and could not see any Noxians on the street at all.

"Like, thank you for coming out to help me." Catalina, who had been walking in front and was very quiet, suddenly said. She tilted her head to look at Li Ke. Her skirt parted when she walked, revealing the white skin on her long legs. Catalina's thigh muscles were tight and her calf muscles were well-proportioned, revealing a very healthy beauty.

I have to say, Catalina really has a lot of muscle.
Jinx also has a six-pack and subtle abdominal muscles, and Li Ke also thinks that kind of figure is particularly beautiful.

But if it's Catalina... Wow, Li Ke has no doubt that Catalina has six solid abdominal muscles, like rock. Catalina is a woman who makes people feel safe.

If placed in an adventure fantasy anime, then Katarina would probably be a big sister-like character?

"Not really. Even if I don't show up, this matter won't have any impact on you." Li Ke shook his head after hearing what Katarina said. He walked beside Katarina and continued, "Swain has been paying attention to your situation."

Now it seems that he did help Katarina uncover Polly's conspiracy, but Swain had appeared nearby early in the morning. After obtaining the power of the demon, Runeterra was almost transparent in his eyes.

Ram is a great demon who holds secrets. With his Swain in charge of Noxus, one can know what happens in the material world every day and what may happen in the future.

You should know that Ram's ability is not to eavesdrop on secrets, but to steal secrets. That's right. Ram often absorbs the souls of the dead to learn the secrets hidden in the souls. It does not use eavesdropping, such a low-class operation, to exchange secrets.
Therefore, we have to say that the smell of Swain, the big boss behind the scenes, is really too strong.

"Let's put things in perspective." Catalina shook her head and looked at Li Ke calmly and said, "If there is a chance, I will return it, but not now."

Catalina said to Li Ke firmly, and Li Ke said nothing more when seeing this. He just smiled at Catalina. In return, the jealous Xiao Jin hugged Li Ke's arm tightly.

More than ten minutes later, under the leadership of Catalina, Li Ke and his group arrived at the real Immortal Fortress.

The place where Li Ke was before was also the area surrounding this huge black castle. Perhaps because Noxus was growing stronger and stronger and its territory was vast, it simply gathered the surrounding lands together and called it the Immortal Fortress.

"Please come this way, Mr. Li Ke. Commander Swain is waiting for you in the study." As soon as they arrived at the main gate of the huge black castle, two tall Noxian soldiers in red armor came up.

They bowed their heads slightly, their voices full of respect.

"Then, what about me?" Catalina asked.

"Ms. Katarina, Commander Swain asked you to go back first. The commander-in-chief will contact you later." said the soldier standing on the left.

Catalina put one hand on her waist, smiled carefreely, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first."

She nodded to Li Ke and turned to walk another way.

"Come on, this way please."

Five minutes later, after passing through the castle's lobby, Li Ke arrived at a huge study.

Although it is called a study, Li Ke thinks it is more like a library. There are hundreds of bookshelves inside, each with several rows of various ancient books.

A man wearing a black woolen cloak and with neatly combed white hair was standing in a corner. A black and red crow was standing on his shoulder. He was holding a book in his hand and was reading silently with his head down.

"Commander-in-Chief, Councillor Li Ke has arrived."

"Well, I see."

Swain moved his fingers holding the book, closed it, and put it on the bookshelf.

The two guards who led the way respectfully left Swain's study, and Swain turned around and looked at Li Ke.

With a scrutiny of Li Ke in his eyes, Swain walked up, his back straight and his steps steady.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord of Zaun."

He stretched out his hand and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke reached out his hand and shook it with Swain, saying, "I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Grand Commander of Noxus."

Swain paused for a moment, then smiled slightly. He withdrew the only hand on him and said, "Come on, Li Ke, Xierko, and Meier, let's talk over here."

"As for Mr. Tallis and Ms. Jinx, I suggest you read a book, because the topic we are going to talk about is definitely not something you will like."

"Who are you? Why do you pretend to know me so well?" After hearing what Swain said, Jinx got angry and said to Swain with some dissatisfaction.

Swain was not surprised by Jinx's sudden attack, but said calmly: "Li Ke, come on."

"Well Jinx, go read a book."

"Look! Just! Look!"

Jinx's eyes moved, she muttered and ran away.

Jace naturally followed him out. He couldn't hold back when he entered the study and was extremely excited.

Nonsense! For a scientist, is there anything more exciting than gaining new knowledge?

The reason why Li Ke followed Swain's words was because of an easter egg.

Swain has a line in the game that goes - Many faces disappeared in the fire... It was all her fault.

Before this line first appeared, many people thought that this line was about Annie, but with the birth of the anime Twin Cities, everyone discovered that this line was actually an easter egg between Swain and Jinx.

Therefore, Jinx was right, Swain really knew the people of the Two Cities very well.

He understood Jayce, Jinx, Mel, Hilco, and even Sevika, but Swain was the only one who couldn't understand Li Ke. That was why he didn't want to have any contact with Li Ke. But he didn't expect that at Polly's dinner, Li Ke directly mentioned LeBlanc's identity and pointed out his existence.

Now even though he didn't want to contact Li Ke, he had to contact Li Ke.

In front of the long table in the study, Swain had prepared several chairs in advance. After everyone sat down, Swain picked up the silver teapot and began to pour tea for Li Ke and his group.

"Where is your demon arm?" Li Ke looked at Swain curiously and asked.

Facing Li Ke's sudden question, Swain remained calm, holding the teapot steadily and powerfully. He said softly, "Normally, I don't like to use that ability because it distracts my attention."

“This country needs me at all times,” Swain said calmly.

Li Ke nodded and looked at Swain. After a moment, he said, "Aren't you curious about how I know this?"

"I have my own chances and destiny, and of course you have your own chances and destiny. Just like Leblanc said, you always appear in another world." Swei distributed tea to everyone.

Mel held the exquisite teacup and looked at Li Ke, then at Swain, his eyes full of curiosity.

In fact, she also suspected that Li Ke could go to another world, and guessed that the reason for this situation was Janna. Janna once said in front of Mel - Li Ke disappeared again.

When Jana said this, Li Ke was clearly sitting next to her. Others might not have heard clearly what Jana said, or might not have taken it seriously, but Mel remembered it.

Now, after listening to Swain's words, Mel thought to himself that this was indeed the case.

But Mel was happy.

Because Li Ke is powerful and has secrets, the two cities will also become powerful.

Piltover and Zaun are already tied together!

Swain sat down, took a sip of his tea, then looked at Li Ke and said, "What do you think of what Leblanc did?" "You mean Mordekaiser?"

Swain nodded.

"Well, Mordekaiser is a huge trouble, but Swain, this trouble is not just LeBlanc's, it's also yours, my trouble." Li Ke thought for a while, looked at Swain seriously.

Swain asked this question, and Li Ke had to answer it rigorously.

This concerns the future relationship between the Twin Cities and Noxus. Li Ke has never regarded Swain as an enemy because there are bigger enemies outside.

Mordekaiser, Viego, Protoss, Void
These troubles outside the Rune Land also made Li Ke realize a truth, that is, the Rune Land cannot engage in internal fighting to consume each other's strength.

Technology will bring productivity. Isn't it because Noxus has been fighting all the time because it is poor? It doesn't matter if you are poor! You have a lot of land!
The scientists of the Twin Cities can definitely help Noxus improve the land conditions, so that Noxus can live an agricultural life.

Li Ke never believed that all Noxians were warmongers, because with the occasional education of Hilco, Li Ke knew that the so-called warmongers, those who kept shouting that they were serving the country, were nothing more than a group of bastard high-level officials who wanted to profit from the war.

The real people, ordinary people, what they want is not glory, but a safe and stable life.

Are all Noxians warlike?

It’s just that they can’t eat enough, so they can only rely on fighting for food.

“Why?” Swain remained expressionless.

"Don't play dumb." Li Ke narrowed his eyes and continued, "If Mordekaiser really returns to Runeterra, the first thing he would do would not be to kill Leblanc who designed to seal him, but Noxus."

"."

"Or, will you hand over Noxus to him? Then the whole of Noxus will be smashed to pieces by his hammer, and all Noxians will become his power in the underworld?" Li Ke asked again.

If Mordekaiser comes out, the first person he hits won’t be LeBlanc.

It has been mentioned many times that LeBlanc is very smart and powerful, but for some reason, her plans often fail. Even if they don't fail, she will inexplicably gain a bunch of enemies.

This is why she is called "silly beauty" by netizens.

He caused a lot of trouble and made a lot of mortal enemies. The contrast was really extreme.

The same is true for Mordekaiser. At first glance, it seems that LeBlanc succeeded in sealing Mordekaiser, but in fact, Mordekaiser was sent in by LeBlanc on purpose.

Perhaps Leblanc also knew about this, but given the situation at the time, she could only choose to play along. However, the result was that Modkaiser's power grew stronger, and now he has become the master of the underworld.

When he comes back, he may not necessarily go looking for trouble with LeBlanc first. Instead, he will kill all the people in Noxus and turn them into undead under his hammer and control them.

“No.” Swain shook his head.

Li Ke looked at Swain and continued with a smile, "Right, so you, me, and Leblanc, we can definitely cooperate. Don't you want to capture Leblanc and force her to cooperate with you to stabilize the situation in Noxus? I think we can start with the matter of Mordekaiser. I can travel between the two worlds at will.

You have seen the previous situation. Leblanc invited me to join her. She needs my strength. In this case, you will take the lead. I will invite them to establish an alliance between Noxus and the Twin Cities. What do you think?"

Li Ke said a lot in one breath.

He was so excited about the conversation that he didn't notice a hint of doubt in Swain's eyes.

"Did you gain the ability to predict the future in that world?" Swain asked with a hint of fear in his eyes.

His control over the general trend comes more from his own wisdom.

Ram's ability cannot predict the future, but it allows Swain to understand and know many people and secrets, and Swain will deduce the possibility of the "future" from these secrets.

For example, a person's habits, personality, and the environment around him will change his future accordingly.

Swain is controlling the overall situation and preparing for a rainy day, but compared to predicting the future, it seems that what he has done is nothing?
"Huh? No, why do you ask that?" Li Ke shook his head and said strangely.

Swain was puzzled: "Then how did you guess what I was thinking?"

"."

Bad food, too much said in one go.

But lying to a smart guy like Swain is useless, the best way is to make jokes!

Li Ke immediately said: "That's not important. The important thing is, Swain, what do you think of my idea?"

"." Swain rubbed his chin and remained silent.

Hilco coughed lightly and said, "Cooperation with Zaun and Piltover can bring changes to Noxus."

Mel also took over and said, "Noxus needs food. Zaun is not short of food now. There is countless food in the sea. Noxus only needs to exchange it with manpower and minerals."

"Swain, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

Swain was no longer silent, and said coldly: "Okay, then you will be the one to invite LeBlanc. LeBlanc's people will definitely contact you many times, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"If Leblanc agrees, then Noxus will be an ally of the Twin Cities in the future and will exchange the necessary supplies with them."

"Well, Swain, can I make a request in advance?"

"Please say."

"How about you hand over the forging process of rune steel to me?"

After hearing what Li Ke said, Swain smiled and said softly, "How about you exchange it with Hextech?"

".Forget it." Li Ke immediately shook his head.

Rune steel is indeed powerful, but compared with the Hextech of the Twin Cities, perhaps the current lower limit is that rune technology is stronger, but in the future, Jayce's Hextech will definitely be more powerful.

In terms of the upper limit, the Hextech Tyrannosaurus that Heimerdinger is researching is enough to prove this!
“Hehe, if you don’t want to exchange Hextech, there are other ways.” Swain changed the subject.

Rune crafting is indeed powerful, but Swain understands one thing, that is, as the number of talented people in the Twin Cities increases, their control over runes will become stronger and stronger. Hextech itself is a variant of rune crafting. Even if Noxus does not give the rune forging method to the Twin Cities, the people of the Twin Cities will be able to master this technology in the future.

Therefore, it is better to use it to exchange for a favor.

However, Swain certainly won't suffer any loss.

"What?" Rick asked Swain.

Swain pulled a map from under the table, and everyone stood up and walked forward.

Hilco looked at the map and asked, "Is this, Freljord?"

"Like, a guy in my plan is trapped in the Freljord. His name is Darius. He is an important part of my plan. No, he is an important part of our plan now. So, go and help me rescue Darius from the hands of the northerners. After you succeed, I will give you the rune craft." Swain looked at Li Ke and said.

Li Ke: “?”

I saved a human-headed dog?!
