Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 191 Fishing Plan
"Wait, Swain, let me ask you something."

Li Ke looked at Swain with a suspicious look on his face, pointed his finger at his face and said, "Do you mean to ask me, an outsider, to help you rescue the future general of Noxus? No, what does the safety of the Hand of Noxus have to do with me?"

"." After hearing what Li Ke said, Swain's eyes narrowed for a moment, but immediately returned to normal. He calmly reached out and picked up the teacup. His face looked calm and normal, but his heart was already fluctuating and panicking.

As expected, this guy Li Ke gained the ability to predict the future in that mysterious world!
Because of what Li Ke said, Swain had never discussed it even with Draven, who had the best relationship with him, because there could be no hesitation in doing this matter. There is a separation of powers, and any of these powers would be something that countless Noxian nobles and warlords would fight for.

Swain's original plan was to use Darius as a model of civilian rise after he returned to Noxus and use his example to inspire the people of Noxus.

By then, Darius will become a symbol of Noxian force and military power. He can get this not because of how brave he is or how rich he is, but because he happens to be a civilian and is extremely loyal to Noxus.

That's why Swain chose him.

But here goes.

Once this is said, will other people agree with it?

He is loyal, and then you chose him as Swain?

No, then I can be loyal and listen to you!
Therefore, Swain was prepared to cut the Gordian knot and complete the plan in an instant, so that no one could find an opportunity to make any small moves. But now, this matter was directly pointed out by Li Ke.

Haha. You were just joking and didn't answer your own question at that time, but now you've exposed yourself?
Li Ke, who was still talking, didn't know that at this moment, Swain had already made up his mind.

That is, Noxus really cannot go against the Twin Cities, or in other words, it cannot go against Li Ke.

Is it worth provoking a person who has the support of two powerful gods, and whose own strength is strong enough and who also has the ability to predict the future?
While drinking scented tea, he listened to Li Ke's words.

"Darius will come back on his own after a while, so he doesn't need my help." Li Ke said.

Swain smiled, put down the cup, and said, "But we have to win over LeBlanc in the near future, right? Li Ke, in my plan, Darius is a crucial part."

"It was your sudden appearance in Noxus that caused changes in my plan. Of course, I didn't intend to hold you responsible for this. Leblanc's invitation to you was indeed unexpected and beyond my expectations. It would be unreasonable to blame you for this. But you want the method of forging rune steel, so I think it's just right to let you do this, what do you think?"

Li Ke closed his mouth, listened to Swain's words, drank all the tea in one gulp, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his thumb, and asked, "Where is he now?"

“Escaping from Winter’s Claw,” Swain replied.

"You know how powerful Sejuani is, right?" Li Ke asked him.

Swain was stunned and replied, "Of course, but Darius has never met Sejuani. The strength of the Freljord people is far beyond our imagination. He followed Darkwill's orders and attacked the North. He was wiped out by the Winter Claw tribe and became a prisoner. But even so, he did not meet Sejuani."

"What Darius encountered in the North was just a branch of the Winter's Claw."

Li Ke was speechless and looked at Swain.

Unlike when talking to others, when facing Swain, Li Ke does not need to pretend to be a riddler, because Swain knows too many things. In Runeterra, he is almost "all-knowing and all-powerful". Karma, who has the title of prophet, should honestly give the word prophet to Swain.

"Don't play dumb, Swain, that's not what I'm asking. I mean, you must know what's behind Sejuani."

"Yes, it's a god. But Zaun is also protected by gods, isn't it?" Swain said with a smile.

After he learned about Darius's situation, he did not send anyone to rescue Darius because Swain knew one thing, that is, if these people under his command were thrown into the North, then every one of them would be killed and would never come back.

But Li Ke is different. The battle with Nagakabouros has proved Li Ke's ability.

"That's Volibear! You let Janna fight Volibear?!" Li Ke raised his voice.

When Hilco and others heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

They didn't know who Volibear was, but that didn't stop them from hearing from Li Ke's voice how much Li Ke valued the god named Volibear.

"Isn't there another god helping you?" Swain said meaningfully. Looking at Li Ke, he continued, "Besides, I just said that Darius has never met Sejuani. In the eyes of the Winter Claw, he is just an insignificant prisoner of war. He is not qualified to meet the master of the Winter Claw. If you go to the North to rescue Darius, you will not only not meet Volibear, but you will not even meet Sejuani."

"What are you worried about?"

Li Ke remained silent, thinking about the feasibility.

Going to Freljord? Don’t mention it, Li Ke’s original plan was to take Jinx to Freljord, but he wanted to take Jinx skiing and see the icebergs, not to run off on a mission to save a middle-aged strong man!
But the question is, if he can get the forging technology of rune steel and build a good relationship with Noxus, then Li Ke will not suffer any loss in this deal.
Just as Li Ke was thinking and hesitating, Swain suddenly said, "Besides, didn't you originally want to take Jinx to Freljord?"

As soon as these words came out, Hilco looked at Li Ke with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

Is it not enough to just go to Ionia? Do you have to take Jinx to Freljord?
However, Hilco did not ask Li Ke at this time. Instead, he looked at Swain and said coldly: "Are you investigating us?"

Swain nodded his head and said, "This is my ability. Besides, isn't it normal for me to investigate you? It's just like you sent spies into Noxus."

"." After hearing Swain's words, Hilco stopped talking.

From Swain's performance from beginning to end to the words he said now, it was just short of telling Hilco directly that he knew the identities of all the spies from the Twin Cities.

In front of Swain, there are no secrets in Noxus. In other places, perhaps because of some powerful existence, Swain cannot explore and obtain secrets, but in his own "back garden", Swain naturally knows everything.

Hilco's silence and cold eyes made the just-good atmosphere become a little tense.

A sudden sweet and innocent voice broke the atmosphere.

Jinx held the luggage straps with both hands. The bag was bulging, and a few books were exposed on the sides. She was struggling to pull the bag and walked towards Li Ke. Her big eyes were bright, her thick blue hair was damp, her face and forehead were red, and she said loudly: "Li Ke, I'm hungry."

Li Ke turned around and saw Jinx like this. He saw that the bag she was holding was bulging. The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched slightly.

The same thing happened to Hilco, who simply pretended not to see the bag and didn't look at Swain.

When Li Ke turned around, he saw that Swain was showing some emotional fluctuations. From the moment he saw Swain, Swain behaved calmly, as if nothing could make him emotionally fluctuate.

But now, Swain has
Like Li Ke, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

That bag must be filled with his books, right?
How on earth did this girl do it? She put his books into her bag in front of him with such confidence, and then walked towards him with the books in her hands?
Isn't it said that Noxus are bandits and barbarians?

But no matter how Swain looks at it now, he feels that Jinx is the real bandit and the real barbarian!

"Li Ke, I'm hungry!" Jinx shouted again.

While Rick and Swain were talking, Jinx had been busy for quite a while. What? Reading in the library?
No, that's how many books I can read! Of course I want to take away all the books I like!
Whatever Jinx likes belongs to Jinx!

Jinx has always been a person with low moral values ​​and always acted on her own. Even today, she is still a little crazy.
She's not going to do the proper thing because that's not cool!
"You" Swain looked at Li Ke and asked him to take care of it.

But Li Ke looked at Swain, suddenly smiled, and said, "Let's eat first, Swain, eat first."

"Let's eat and talk."

“That’s mine.”

"Is there any meat?" Hilco suddenly asked, interrupting Swain for some reason.

Looking at Hilco and Li Ke, Swain suddenly smiled.

In these two people, he saw the shadow of Draven.
As for this kind of rogue soldier, maybe because of Draven, Swain really can't hate him.

So he put his hand on his forehead and said, "Okay, then. Let's eat while we chat. I'll have someone prepare the food."

"Don't!" Li Ke tried to dissuade Swain.

Swain looked at Li Ke and heard Li Ke say, "Your Noxian food is terrible. Even if we give you the best ingredients, you still cook it terrible. I have experienced it at the dinner party."

"Let me take care of this meal, Swain. Prepare some ingredients and I'll make a meal that's perfect for this moment."

Swain narrowed his eyes, not understanding why Li Ke suddenly wanted to cook, but he didn't refuse.

He didn't hate this, so he rang the bell on his desk. From time to time, people came in, and Swain asked Li Ke to order the ingredients needed.

A few dozen minutes later——

The smell of food wafted through the study. In the middle of the study, on a red carpet, Swain, Rick, Jinx, Hilco, Mel, Jace, Sevika and others were sitting around a stove.

It was a hextech heating stove made by Jinx. After visiting Ionia, Jinx made a field stove specifically using hextech technology to facilitate cooking outdoors.

The three furnaces are stacked together, with a large pot on top, which is suspended. Below is a heating Hextech furnace. The reason why the pot can be suspended is that Swain's demonic power is used.

You can vaguely see several red silk threads growing out from the ground, touching the bottom of the pot and propping up the pot.

The pot was steaming, the red soup was bubbling with oil, and you could see the cut meat slices and some vegetables bubbling around.

Swain had already used his demonic powers because he didn't know how to use chopsticks. Of course, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reach into the hot pot with his bare hands, but he obviously wouldn't do that.

Everyone was eating food from the same pot, but he reached into the pot to rummage around. What was that?

Therefore, Swain simply used the power of demons to transform his left arm into red energy threads to wrap around the pieces of meat.

Putting it in a bowl and adding seasonings, Swain ate it with relish.

He never refuses the desire for food, which is human instinct.

Jinx picked up two slices of beef with chopsticks, put them in the seasoning bowl, and then picked up the meat with great effort.

You can't do without clamping.
Li Ke, Swain, and Jayce, these three people have too big appetites.

And there is this silly girl named Sevica! She is also a big eater!
Therefore, Jinx didn't eat one dish at a time, but instead piled up a big bowl like a hamster, and then took a lot of dishes after showing off.

Li Ke no longer complains about this.

He had long been accustomed to Xiao Jin's various eating styles.

The only gentlemen who ate there were Hilco and Mel.

“This way of eating is somewhat similar to boiling, but it’s also a little different,” Swain said softly.

"This is called hot pot, a specialty of our Zaun." Li Ke replied.

As he spoke, he snatched a piece of beef from Swain's hand.

Swain was stunned, but didn't care. He just changed a piece of meat, wrapped it with demonic power, and put it in the bowl with seasoning.

"So, have you figured out what to do?"

"Well, the deal is done. I will be traveling to the Freljord, and in the meantime, Jace will stay in Noxus and learn the craft of rune steel."

When Jace heard his name, he wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, Mel next to him punched him.

Seeing this, Jace shut his mouth.

Mel wouldn't hurt him anyway.

"Okay, what about Leblanc? How are you going to invite her to join us?"

"This is easy. I'll take a walk on the street tomorrow and there's an 80% chance that Loveland will come to me on her own initiative." Li Ke said while eating meat.

Swain uses demonic power to control Noxus, and isn't Clover also using magic to plan his strategies?
As for the plan
Fishing.

This is a fishing plan.

At the same time, somewhere in the Immortal Fortress.

The purple-haired woman suddenly felt her nose itchy. She reached out and rubbed her straight nose. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"?"

“Why do I have such a bad feeling?”
