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

Suddenly, a servant of the Marquis of Zoffies came to his side and said something to him.

Upon hearing this, the elegant smile on Marquis Zofis's face gradually faded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment."

Soon, amidst the respectful farewells of the nobles, Marquis Zofis walked deeper into the manor.

.... .... 0

Deep within the manor, Marquis Zofis stepped into the luxurious residence with an air of nonchalance.

With practiced ease, he opened a bottle of exceptional wine and then took out two crystal-clear glasses.

He slowly lowered the bottle opening, and the purplish-red liquid flowed slowly from the bottle into the glass, displaying an amethyst-like luster.

At the same time, a figure that seemed like a dream appeared in the room.

"Honorable lady, please have a seat."

Marquis Zofis, or rather Vladimir, looked at the figure that suddenly appeared before him without any surprise.

He familiarly took his seat first, and then spoke to the figure opposite him.

LeBlanc frowned upon seeing Vladimir's appearance.

LeBlanc clearly did not approve of or accept his behavior.

On the contrary, LeBlanc was quite disgusted by it.

"I won't say any more small talk."

"Vladimir, I need your help."

LeBlanc got straight to the point, without any beating around the bush.

Over thousands of years, each of them has kept track of the other's own strengths and weaknesses.

News of Dukur's defeat had already spread throughout the empire, and Vladimir could not possibly be unaware of it.

Therefore, Vladimir naturally understood that LeBlanc's "life-extending plan" had gone wrong.

Upon hearing this, Vladimir remained unhurried, a nonchalant smile appearing on his face.

"Old friend, why the rush?"

"Sit down and try this delicious wine; it's a rare delicacy."

Vladimir spoke slowly and deliberately, without answering LeBlanc, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

Upon seeing this, a profound look suddenly flashed in LeBlanc's eyes.

After a brief standoff, LeBlanc slowly sat down.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Seeing this, Vladimir slowly asked the question.

The depth in LeBlanc's eyes grew even stronger.

Vladimir is undoubtedly playing dumb here.

"Help me conquer Ionia."

But at this moment, being under someone's roof, and needing their help, LeBlanc could only coldly respond to Vladimir.

"Oh?"

Vladimir feigned confusion, then picked up his wine glass and took a leisurely sip.

Chapter 254, Bearing the Entire World

After slowly setting down his wine glass, Vladimir leaned back on the soft sofa, remaining silent and uttering no words, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.

Upon seeing Vladimir's appearance, LeBlanc's expression suddenly changed.

In terms of cunning alone, there isn't a single old fox who can survive for a thousand years that's easy to deal with.

Vladimir's hesitation of only a moment was enough for LeBlanc to see through his deception.

Logically speaking, given their millennia-long friendship of sharing hardships, Vladimir should have had no reason to refuse LeBlanc's request.

But Vladimir's current posture made LeBlanc's heart tighten.

What exactly is the problem?

Even if Vladimir intended to "take advantage of the chaos," this was not the proper response.

Because this means that Vladimir is really hesitating!

"Old friend, now that things have come to this, I don't want to hide it from you anymore."

"I am determined to take Ionia, and this war must continue no matter what!"

"Our friendship has stood the test of time over the years."

"Now, I need your help."

At this moment, LeBlanc withdrew her somewhat cold attitude, her tone became much gentler, and she started playing the emotional card with "440".

Vladimir's somewhat strange attitude today has LeBlanc on edge.

Upon hearing LeBlanc's words, Vladimir slowly rose from the sofa, his gaze returning to its usual somber tone.

"well........"

Vladimir sighed softly, his voice carrying a meaning that LeBlanc couldn't understand.

"Has it really come to this?"

"Is your 'reincarnation' something that can't be delayed any longer?"

Vladimir spoke softly, his gaze fixed intently on the amethyst-shimmering wine glass in front of LeBlanc.

Upon hearing this, LeBlanc fell silent.

The way she looked at Vladimir changed as well.

When did you find out...?

LeBlanc asked, her eyes filled with profound questions.

She never imagined that her biggest secret had already been exposed.

"Probably a few hundred years ago."

After Vladimir finished the liquid in his glass, he answered LeBlanc.

LeBlanc remained silent in response.

Ultimately, these "old friends" who have "shared hardships" for thousands of years are nothing more than people using each other.

If one side were confident in killing and annexing the other, they probably would have done so long ago.

Now, LeBlanc's greatest weakness has been exposed to Vladimir, which has deprived her of the opportunity for an equal dialogue.

Under normal circumstances, LeBlanc wouldn't have acted this way.

But at this critical juncture, LeBlanc can only wait for Vladimir's attitude.

.........

In fact, unlike Vladimir, who possesses the power of the Darkin, LeBlanc's "reincarnation" conditions are more stringent and complex.

The power of the Darkin is essentially the power of a demigod, and it inherently possesses the property of "immortality".

However, because Vladimir himself had never experienced ascension, his body could not withstand this power, which forced him to change bodies frequently.

Each time he changes bodies, the incompatibility between body and soul causes Vladimir's soul to be missing, resulting in Vladimir losing some of his memories.

Such side effects are considerable.

But compared to Vladimir, LeBlanc's life-extending chauffeured service is even better!

LeBlanc was just a mortal, though she betrayed Mordekaiser in ancient times and deciphered some of Mordekaiser's secrets.

Based on this, a way to prolong life was found.

But how could such a "defying the heavens" method possibly be easily achieved?

Firstly, LeBlanc's mortal body is utterly powerless against the erosion of time and the pursuit of death.

Therefore, she must change her body every hundred years.

These bodies were all found by LeBlanc using the deeply intertwined black rose tissue in her hands.

The conditions for becoming LeBlanc's reincarnated body are extremely demanding.

Having a physical body is not enough; LeBlanc's soul is also unable to withstand the erosion of time.

To prevent her soul from decaying, LeBlanc resorted to an evil spell!

That is to ruthlessly harvest the soul power of others to replenish oneself.

Each person's soul power is different, which results in a highly complex mixture when a large amount of soul power is gathered together.

LeBlanc still needs to use ancient sorcery to refine the impure parts, leaving behind the pure soul power.
