Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 192 I laugh at Swain’s arrogance and Li Ke’s stupidity!
In order to get LeBlanc out, Li Ke is a crucial part of the plan, because Mordekaiser is a sword hanging over LeBlanc's head. Think about it, everyone, everything LeBlanc has done in the past thousand years is to deal with the return of Mordekaiser.

Although in a sense, it is also thanks to Leblanc that Mordekaiser has the power he has today.

The things that the stupid beauty Leblanc did include but were not limited to——

1. He wanted to get his hands on the power of the Ascended but ended up releasing Renekton Xerath.

2. He plotted to murder Swain, but ended up giving Swain demonic power, creating a powerful enemy for himself.

3. After seeing how powerful Swain's demonic power was, he also wanted the demonic power out of envy. As a result, his attempt to summon the demon to control it failed. The demon was summoned into Annie's bear and ran away with Annie.

4. He failed to frame the loyal Riven but ended up turning her into a farming girl. None of the troops he sent out came back, and instead, he was exposed and caught by Swain.

5. He attempted to use Riel's powerful magic power, but it resulted in the destruction of the experimental base. Riel fled and rebelled against the Black Rose.
To be honest, you are definitely not a fool, but it is unlikely that you are not a fool.

In fact, let Li Ke describe the designer's persecution of Leblanc in one sentence:

You are just a naive and kind-hearted person, but you turned into a world-destroying witch. Your hard work and thousand-year-long strategy have become a joke!

I have to say, in front of Lux, the hard-working Ms. LeBlanc is like a rookie.

It's really better for you to just be kind than for Leblanc to rack her brains to do bad things!

Noxian girl, stand at attention!
Therefore, although LeBlanc is a very powerful female mage, as long as Li Ke thinks about the things she has done, he can never regard her as the "mastermind" or "boss".

Also a figure hiding behind the scenes, Lissandra is in charge of all the strategies. She has not shown up many times in thousands of years, but the Freljord has always been under her control. Even with the appearance of the other two reincarnations of the Three Ice Sisters, Lissandra's position has not been in any crisis.

But what about LeBlanc?

Is she the mastermind behind all this?
"What are you laughing at?" Swain asked curiously when he saw Li Ke suddenly laughing and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Li Ke came back to his senses, looked at Swain, and said, "I just thought about what Leblanc has done over the years."

Swain was stunned at first, then he started laughing too.

"?"

"What are you laughing at?" Jinx asked curiously.

Mel was also puzzled. To her, she already knew what the name "LeBlanc" meant. This name represented the organization that her mother was afraid of, and it was also the leader of the powerful organization that drove her mother out of Noxus.

But at this moment, Li Ke and Captain Swain laughed because of this name.
No, why is that?

"LeBlanc is very powerful, but...she does seem a little bit stupid sometimes." Li Ke said after thinking for a while.

Swain listened, smiled, shook his head and said, "No, Li Ke, it's just the opposite. She is very smart, very smart, but she is too smart. She thinks she can plan and win from afar. She hides herself behind the scenes and doesn't go down to the grassroots. This is her biggest shortcoming."

Swain hit the nail on the head.

After listening to this, Li Ke nodded and agreed with Swain's idea.

As mentioned before, Li Ke doesn't think LeBlanc is really stupid. If she is really not smart, she would not be able to break away from Mordekaiser's control. Making Mordekaiser the Lord of the Underworld did bring trouble to LeBlanc, but it also caused Mordekaiser to lose Noxus. Remember, no matter what, Mordekaiser was sealed into the underworld by LeBlanc.

To put it bluntly, LeBlanc is really powerful. After all, she is a great magician who has lived for thousands of years.

But the biggest problem with this person is that she is too arrogant. She thinks she is the smartest and everyone else is an idiot. She always thinks she can make her say whatever she wants and that what she says is what it is. But in fact, there are many things that she doesn't know and then hands over to her subordinates to do, and then her subordinates can accomplish them.

To put it bluntly, LeBlanc is very diligent in coming up with ideas, but very lazy when it comes to actually doing them?
Her biggest problem is that she just wants to do it but doesn't do it herself.

If she followed and did everything personally, wouldn't she be mocked as a fool by netizens?
Take the matter of getting hands on the power of the Ascended Ones, for example. If she had not handed it over to the Snake Girl, but had gone to Shurima herself, would she not know about the seal?
Back to Annie's matter. If she was nearby when the demon was summoned, would the demon still appear in Annie's doll?

Obviously every plan is good, but every plan fails.
"Tell me about your plan."

Swain looked at Li Ke and asked.

Li Ke organized his words, then started talking to Swain with a smile.

At noon the next day, Jace, Mel, Hilco and others packed up their things and prepared to leave the Immortal Fortress and take the Hexspeedship back to Piltover.

Li Ke and Jinx were left behind.

To lure out LeBlanc, Li Ke is the bait. He will certainly not leave Noxus. And if Li Ke does not leave, then Jinx will certainly not leave either. She is determined to follow Li Ke until death.

After all, she was planning to go to Freljord with Li Ke!
"Can the plan you and Swain are leading really succeed?"

Before leaving, Mel asked worriedly.

She always felt that this plan was unreliable.

Mel really couldn't understand what Li Ke said. Could it really be considered a plan?

He pretended that he and Swain had failed to reach an agreement. Swain did not agree to the conditions proposed by Li Ke, so Li Ke stayed in Noxus to find an opportunity to communicate with Swain, but Swain refused to see him and then lured LeBlanc out.

In fact, if it weren't for what happened at the dinner that day, Mel thought the idea would be feasible.

But didn’t Li Ke almost break up with LeBlanc at the dinner party?

It's almost as if the words "I want to join Swain" were written on my face. In this case, if I pretend that I didn't get along well with Swain and that we don't have a good relationship, then, will LeBlanc believe it?
After hearing what Mel said, Li Ke just smiled.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if she fails. As long as I'm in Noxus, she will find a chance to contact me." Li Ke leaned close to Mel and said in a low voice.

Mel nodded, then smiled, "Okay, let's go back first."

"Ah."

"Hilco, remember to take care of that matter." Li Ke looked at Hilco again and said.

Hilco nodded and said softly, "I will find a time to contact the Demacians."

After they left, Li Ke took Jinx back to the Immortal Bastion.

Taking Jinx back to his residence, far away from Swain's castle, after talking to Jinx, Li Ke called Janna.

"Is there something?" The little bluebird appeared yawning and looked at Li Ke.

There was confusion in the bird's eyes as it tilted its head.

"Please help me protect Jinx. I need to go out and do something." Li Ke said to Janna.

Janna didn't ask the reason. She just hummed, nodded, and flew to Jinx's head.

Jinx was unhappy and wanted to go out with Li Ke, but Li Ke said he had something to do and it would be difficult to do it with her, so she had to stay.

"Go ahead, I will protect Jinx." Janna said confidently.

After the battle with Nagakabouros, Janna seems to have overcome her inner demons?
In fact, it is not surprising. After all, when Janna was at the peak of her strength, she encountered Shurima at its most prosperous period. Azir criticized her by name and destroyed the God of War, saying that he was a false god. It is not surprising that the little blue bird was scared.

No, who in Runeterra could defeat Shurima during that period?

To put it bluntly, even the three gods of the North can't do it.
Shurima reached its peak under Azir. There were countless Ascended in Shurima at that time. If Azir was willing and Xerath's backstab incident hadn't happened, Runeterra would have really changed its name to Shurima. You have to know that Shurima during the time of Setaka, the Ascended Queen, was able to resist the invasion of the Void. The Void outbreak in Icathia was different from the Void under Freljord. It was a real Void invasion of Runeterra, and Setaka led the Ascended to fight the Void and successfully repelled the Void.

The Shurima during Azir's control was even more powerful than Setaka. This is the original content in the official statement.

Therefore, Janna certainly thought she was very weak.
But in fact, after fighting with Nagakabouros, Janna found that she was also very powerful!
The little bluebird is now very confident, and there is no problem for him to protect Jinx in Noxus!

Seeing Jinx and Janna chatting on the bed, Li Ke smiled, then he turned and left the room and went to the street alone.

----

At the same time, Swain also received the news.

"Why did he stay?"

Draven, who came to find Swain, asked curiously.

Draven was naturally curious about the two foreigners living in the Immortal Bastion during this period.

Swain just looked at him and said nothing.

Seeing Swain like this, Draven didn't find it strange, he just sniffed it.

"What's that smell? Meat? Are you eating here?"

He looked surprised and asked curiously, "Don't you never eat in the study?"

It's strange, although he is a good friend of Draven, Swain has a lot of little rules. Sometimes he is as conservative as an old man, which makes Draven, who likes to hang out in taverns and arenas all year round, unhappy.

But just as Swain won't dictate his own preferences, Draven won't judge Swain's rules.

On the contrary, he respects Swain's rules very much, which is why he has such a good relationship with Swain.

Draven is not like his appearance. On the contrary, he has a very delicate heart.

After hearing Draven's words, Swain lowered his head, and when he raised his head, he laughed.

"It's a bit cold today, do you want to eat hot pot?"

"?"

"what is that?"

"It's a specialty of Zaun. Come on, help me clean up the desk while I ask someone to prepare the ingredients."

Swain said calmly.

In a house outside the Noxian Immortal Fortress, Elise knocked on a door cautiously.

After hearing "Come in", Iris pushed the door open.

"Sir." Iris knelt on one knee after entering the room and said respectfully.

"How is it?" The purple-haired little girl was sitting above, wearing a princess dress and black princess shoes. She had an adorable face, but her eyes revealed a wisdom that did not match her age.

Iris looked up and saw Leblanc like this.

She didn't find it strange.

Over the past few hundred years, she has seen countless images of Leblanc, old men, women, and even non-humans.

As long as Leblanc wants, she can become another person, so becoming a little girl is nothing.

Perhaps this image will make it easier for Lady Leblanc to act in the city?

Iris put aside her distracting thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Mel, Jace, Hilco, and the short-haired female follower have left Noxus, while Li Ke and his wife stayed."

"That's not what I want to know." Leblanc frowned, with dissatisfaction on her face.

She crossed her legs, raised one arm to support herself on the princess chair, and propped up her round face with her palm. She said, "What I want to know is what he and Swain talked about."

Iris said quickly, "Yesterday, he entered the castle under the guidance of Du Kao's daughter and met Swain, but three hours later, they were driven out of the Immortal Fortress. Swain ordered that no one from the Twin Cities should enter the castle in the future."

"anything else?"

"According to the information obtained from the servant, Li Ke wanted to obtain the manufacturing process of Rune Steel and asked Swain to hand over the process. Swain wanted to exchange it with Hextech, but Li Ke was unwilling to do so. Then, they had an argument." Elise thought for a moment and added, "My lord, I think Li Ke stayed in Noxus, perhaps for the manufacturing method of Rune Steel?"

“Hextech is closely related to runes,” said Elise.

LeBlanc nodded.

Elise looked at Leblanc's lovely face and was in a trance for a moment. Then she said, "My lord, I think this is a conspiracy."

"Heh, do I need you to tell me?" After hearing what Iris said, Leblanc showed a mocking smile on her cute face.

She stood up and jumped down from the princess chair. She looked at Elise who was kneeling below with one hand on her waist and said in a deep voice: "Swain has been trying to catch me, and Li Ke doesn't know about the relationship between Swain and me. Li Ke may know something, but he is too young. Youth is the biggest problem. What can he know when he is so young?

He just attacked me in front of Swain, and then he had a falling out with Swain and stayed alone in Noxus? They did this just to make me take the initiative to find him. He knew that I needed him for some reason, but I also knew that he knew that I needed him. "

The smile on LeBlanc's face grew wider and wider. She put her hands in front of her face to cover her mouth, raised her head and laughed out loud with her chin up. "But, didn't he and Swain underestimate me?"

"Even you can see that something is wrong, so how much more so for me?"

After hearing this, Iris felt a little dissatisfied in her heart, but she took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

"Hehehe~~~"

"I laugh at Swain's arrogance and Li Ke's stupidity! Their plan is nothing more than telling me that they want to find me now. I really can't give up Li Ke, but why can I only talk to Li Ke about this?"

"You want me to take advantage of your own tactic?"

"I won't!"

"I don't want to follow their wishes!"

Leblanc waved her hand and said confidently:
"He left Jinx in the city. This is his biggest weakness! Love really makes people stupid. He actually kept Jinx by his side and didn't let her return to Zaun. Zaun is protected by the gods. I can't take away the important people around him, but this is my territory! Mine!"

Leblanc gritted her teeth. "Swain thought he had complete control of this country and that I had fled the Immortal Bastion because of him? But how could they know that I was everywhere!"

Iris understood what Leblanc meant and immediately said, "I'll do it right away."

"No, you don't have to go. I'll do it myself."

LeBlanc said sinisterly.
