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

Just when the nobles were baffled, Vladimir revealed the answer.

"Whether it's new wine or old wine."

"Actually, there is only one criterion for choosing them—that is, their class."

"Whether it's new or old, my choice will always be... good!!"

As he spoke, a sharp, aggressive glint flashed in Vladimir's eyes.

"Let them do it."

"Proceed as I previously instructed!"

After saying this, Vladimir drank the liquid in his goblet in one gulp.

·· ······Requesting flowers··· ····

"Yes!!!"

Upon hearing Vladimir's words, all the members of the Crimson Society vanished from their spots.

Before long, a series of murders occurred in various parts of the Immortal Fortress.

And all these murdered victims had one thing in common: they were women!

.....................

Ionia, Loyalty.

Following Fryegor's gaze, LeBlanc seemed to suddenly sense something.

LeBlanc, who had been so calm and collected, now looked like a female driver who had been provoked, her expression showing signs of collapse.

.... ....... ...

"No!!! This is impossible!!!"

LeBlanc screamed in alarm, the piercing sound causing Foygo to raise an eyebrow.

Although this was not the first time LeBlanc had acted this way, no matter how many times it happened, to Folger, LeBlanc's behavior was nothing more than "clown acts."

"It's him, it must be him!!!"

"That traitor!!"

"Vladimir!!!"

LeBlanc spoke through gritted teeth, each word distinct, her eyes, adorned with exaggerated makeup, seeming to spit fire.

Upon hearing this, Foygo seemed somewhat noncommittal.

If there's anyone in the world who could successfully backstab LeBlanc and have the chance to completely eliminate her, it's probably only Fouygo's "cheap uncle."

Only Vladimir, who has coexisted with LeBlanc for thousands of years, knows LeBlanc's true weakness.

Of course, the two are mutually exclusive.

As for LeBlanc, she was naturally well aware of Vladimir's secret to immortality and his weaknesses.

As for what Vladimir did to make LeBlanc lose her composure like this, it's not hard to understand.

Chapter 314, Everything Was Predestined

As another ruler of the Black Rose and a partner who has "cooperated" with LeBlanc for thousands of years, no one knows LeBlanc's secrets better than Vladimir.

Vladimir already knew most of the secrets about LeBlanc.

As hosts of incomplete demigod power, both Vladimir and LeBlanc's methods of achieving immortality have their own flaws.

The passage of time brought about the decay of the body, and in order to resist this decay, Vladimir adopted the method of "changing his body".

Due to the constant body replacements over the years, Vladimir's soul and body often reject each other, causing him to suffer from soul damage and memory loss.

For this reason, in order to avoid the damage to his soul caused by changing bodies as much as possible, Vladimir would look for a new "body" in advance to reduce the burden brought about by changing bodies as much as possible.

　Despite this, each time Vladimir changed bodies, he had to pay the price of sleeping for decades.

Similarly, LeBlanc's "immortality" cannot be without a price.

You gain something, you lose something else; this is an ironclad law that can never be changed.

Over thousands of years, Vladimir has come to understand how LeBlanc perpetuates life.

LeBlanc's method of prolonging her life originates from the witchcraft of San'Uzul, a method that is infinitely more cruel than Vladimir's method of changing bodies.

If LeBlanc's life were a flame, the moment the flame extinguished would be the moment LeBlanc died.

So, to keep the flame burning, she had to keep adding fuel to it in order to prolong her life.

Needless to say, the "fuel" that LeBlanc added was precisely the purpose of her trip to Ionia—soul power.

................

Moreover, Vladimir made a keen observation.

LeBlanc seems to have long since abandoned her physical body, constantly transforming herself into a hazy and ethereal spiritual realm.

Anyone who comes into contact with LeBlanc and is chosen by her will be imbued with her soul aura and left with her mark.

At first, Vladimir didn't understand what this meant, and simply thought it was LeBlanc's way of manipulating others.

However, the time he spent with LeBlanc was far too long, so long that it gave Vladimir countless hours to think.

Even a mediocre person could probably deduce the truth over such a long period of time, let alone a genius like Vladimir who is beyond words.

And so, Vladimir uncovered LeBlanc's secret.

Rather than calling LeBlanc's life "immortality," it would be more accurate to call it "parasitism."

This is the real reason why LeBlanc is immortal.

...................

Those who have been marked by LeBlanc's soul are all women.

This was also a target specifically selected for the "convenience" of LeBlanc's future "immortality".

In fact, it would be more appropriate to compare these to "seeds" rather than "marks".

These "seeds" are actually part of LeBlanc's soul itself!

LeBlanc splits her own soul and then plants it as "seeds" in chosen targets.

These "seeds" usually have no effect, but if something unexpected happens to LeBlanc...

The "seed" will then drain the target's soul power, sprout from the soil, and grow into a brand new "LeBlanc".

......................

At this point, Vladimir had discovered all the secrets of LeBlanc's immortality.

Through the transaction, Folyago learned the whole truth from his uncle, which led to his plan to eradicate LeBlanc.

There is only one reason why LeBlanc lost her composure at this moment.

LeBlanc, who thought she had a backup plan and wouldn't die here, suddenly sensed that all the "seeds" she had left inside the Immortal Fortress had lost contact in an instant.

LeBlanc knew perfectly well that no one but her "good partner" Vladimir could do this.

In other words, this plan to eradicate LeBlanc is a collaboration between the uncle and nephew of the former Kingdom of Camavia.

Fryego's task was to lure LeBlanc out of Noxus and then kill her.

Vladimir, assessing the situation, was tasked with providing intelligence to cut off LeBlanc's escape route.

..................

It's hard to say for sure who was the loser in that evil ritual a thousand years ago, LeBlanc or Mordekaiser...

Everyone, including LeBlanc, underestimated Vladimir, Fiorio's cheap uncle.

In the Noxian Empire's game, LeBlanc, initially the "master," may have only intended to add Vladimir as a pawn, using his power to counter Mordekaiser.

However, by now, Vladimir has long since turned the tables and become the key force capable of delivering a fatal blow to LeBlanc.

It must be said that LeBlanc and Vladimir are extremely similar in both experience and fate. Their similar personalities also made them restrain each other, which led to the creation of such a huge organization as the Black Rose.

Compared to LeBlanc's trickery in seizing power from Mordekaiser, the lord of the underworld.

Vladimir's behavior was equally ingenious and insane to the point of being astonishing.

Also a mortal, Vladimir used his wisdom and talent to steal the power of the Darkin.

......................

LeBlanc's success today stems from a lie that happened thousands of years ago.

At that time, Mordekaiser, the Lord of the Underworld, had not yet transcended and reached the realm of the gods, and had single-handedly forged the immortal terror belonging to Runeterra.

At this point, he was still merely an emperor of an evil dynasty dwelling atop an immortal fortress.

At this time, "Mordkaiser" was using the name of another evil 3.4 emperor—Saen Uzul.

All the changes stemmed from a two-way lie woven by the witch LeBlanc and San Uzul.

No one knows how this evil witchcraft ritual was actually performed.
