I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

“My dear nephew, your taste is just as good.”

"Elegant, like a king."

After hearing Fóyego's praise, Vladimir laughed heartily and then returned the compliment.

However, the deeper meaning in Vladimir's eyes was something that outsiders could not understand.

At the same time, Vladimir's words also implied that he seemed to know something.

Upon hearing this, Foygo's eyes flickered slightly.

Sure enough, the truth will out.

However, Fryego clearly didn't care about this.

Vladimir's behavior shows that although he knows some things, he doesn't know much.

Otherwise, if Vladimir had known that Fryegor was the King of Ruin, he wouldn't be sitting here so calmly talking to Fryegor.

Vladimir has clearly uncovered some things.

Because during their last conversation, Fóyego did not reveal his identity as king.

Even though he had lost most of his memory, Vladimir was still able to uncover some things based on the information that Foygo had revealed in their last conversation.

For example, it is true that he was a prince of the ancient kingdom of Kamavia in ancient times.

It's true that he has a "cheap nephew".

What Foljego didn't mention last time was that his adopted nephew not only became king, but also led Kamavia to its downfall.

As for the relationship between the last king of Kamavia, Feuergo, and the Shadow Isles, it remains an absolute secret to this day.

Vladimir's investigation only went as far as Foyego leading most of Kamavia's forces to sea in search of Queen Isuld's resurrection, and then never returning.

The Kingdom of Camavia, ultimately hollowed out by Foygo, was destroyed by an attack from an enemy nation.

As for where Foyego went after he left, Vladimir had no idea.

If Vladimir were given more time, he might be able to investigate the connection between Folyagor and the Shadow Isles based on the Water of Life given to him by Folyagor.

But at this point, there are obviously no "what ifs".

However, this survey result already illustrates one point.

That means the "bloodline" that Foygo mentioned was not false, but actually true.

Sometimes, the relationships between people are just that wonderful.

Last time, Fojego approached Vladimir, using "blood ties" as a bargaining chip to induce him to make a deal...

This time, after confirming this inexplicable "blood relationship," Vladimir took the initiative to contact Foygo and seek a deal.

"Blood ties," something that seemed utterly insignificant to both of them, became the foundation upon which their cooperation was based.

That's right, this time, it was Vladimir who took the initiative to invite Fóyego.

Fóyego did not refuse Vladimir's invitation.

Because at this moment, both of them had something they needed.

Cooperation benefits both sides; it is nothing more than that.

To achieve their respective goals, the two must engage in deeper cooperation.

But before they can collaborate, the two must first resolve one issue.

That is—to build a deeper level of trust.

The connection based on "blood ties" is not enough to support further cooperation between the two.

This also means that the two must have an open and honest discussion while keeping their positions somewhat reserved.

It is clear that both of them are fully aware of this.

..........

As the one who initiated the conversation and the deal, Vladimir was the first to speak.

"Ms. Pale has noticed you recently."

"Although I don't know what methods she will use, my dear nephew."

"She's not someone you can easily deal with."

Vladimir took the initiative to demonstrate his sincerity by directly revealing intelligence closely related to Foygo.

He then promptly "sold out" LeBlanc, his partner of thousands of years.

"3.4?"

"Yeah........"

"I have to thank you for your concern, Uncle."

Folger narrowed his eyes; he had anticipated that LeBlanc would become aware of his actions.

I just didn't expect her to act so quickly; the intelligence provided by Vladimir was indeed valuable.

Moreover, Vladimir's actions also carried a hint of goodwill.

His "betrayal" of LeBlanc to Feuergo was the first step in establishing a relationship of trust between the two.

Next, it's time for Fóyego to reciprocate.

With Vladimir's openness, Fóyego naturally no longer needed to keep it a secret.

"I think Uncle doesn't need to worry about the Pale Lady."

"I have my own way of dealing with it."

"But there's one more thing I need your help with, Uncle."

Foygo spoke frankly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 152, Vladimir is completely bewildered.

"Oh? What is it? Tell me about it."

A look of understanding flashed in Vladimir's eyes; the information he had used to gain Foygo's trust had now been answered.

Because he already sensed that what Fryegor was about to say would be his main objective in Noxus.

Only when both sides have each other's "weak points" can they work together with peace of mind once they are back on the same starting line.

"What I need is faith."

"I need your help, Uncle, to spread my faith within the Empire."

Foygo spoke slowly, revealing his true purpose.

His words also made Vladimir ponder them deeply.

For Vladimir, what he cared about was immortality and a way to solve his own problems.

Regarding the empire, Vladimir was concerned with the power he held, but he had no interest in portraying himself as a "god".

Because of his rank, Vladimir is not a demigod and therefore cannot harvest the power of faith.

If Fryego's goal is truly as he claims, then there is no direct conflict between the two in terms of their positions.

On the contrary, Vladimir could even open doors for Foyego to travel freely within the empire.

With this foundation in place, their collaboration could proceed naturally.

...........

　27 "Hahahaha!!!!"

“My nephew, you possess noble blood.”

"What's wrong with becoming the king of Noxus, let alone becoming some ethereal god?"

"Your uncle will definitely give you his full support!"

Vladimir spoke in a very generous tone, as if he were a great elder wholeheartedly caring for his juniors.

However, from an angle that Foygo could not see, a flash of bloodlust appeared in Vladimir's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Foygo revealed a calm smile. He wasn't a fool and naturally understood the probing meaning in Vladimir's words.

At this moment, Fóyego felt a bit both amused and exasperated.

Vladimir still underestimated him.

What is meant by a "mysterious and ethereal" god?

The mighty demigod of death, the King of Ruin, sits right before you, yet you still don't recognize his worth.

The Noxian emperor is nothing compared to his divine status; he wouldn't even bother with it if it were given to him for free.

Why should one be king?

"A king is often lonely and isolated."

“My ambitions lie elsewhere, and Uncle need not mention it again.”
