Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

A woman's voice sounded in Swain's room.

"You really didn't panic at all."

Swain looked at the red-haired woman with a long and narrow scar on her left eye in the mirror, and said calmly: "You are not an idiot, and neither am I. Caterina Du Cacao is not someone who can just kill someone on the street.

The assassin."

Catalina nodded magnanimously: "You are right, my goal is indeed not your life."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"I'm afraid Darkwill is crazy."

This incident did not surprise Swain too much. He had actually expected it - the last time he saw that man, Darkwill, who was famous for his bravery and good fighting skills in his youth, had turned into a fat man with a big belly.

His stomach was already in the door fifteen minutes earlier than him. The same was true for his originally strong arms, but now I am afraid they can only hold the wine glass.

"Tell me about it." Swain lowered his head and began to hang medals on the left side of his chest.

"The Immortal Fortress has been under full martial law a week ago. Even the rats they raised underground were not spared and were completely prohibited from going out. People were forced to stay at home and food was rationed. Three days ago, even the streets were

The soldiers on patrol have been cancelled. Even the soldiers patrolling inside the palace have been reduced to groups of three.”

As she spoke, unspeakable fear began to show in her eyes. Swain saw this look on her face, and his heart trembled - what could possibly scare a well-trained senior assassin like this? You know, Katrin

Nako was trained as an assassin since she was a child, and this matter was even considered an open secret among the empire's senior officials.

Catalina whispered: "So I went to talk to my father...Although I was no longer loyal to him, I still needed to get information from him on some matters. But when I returned home, I saw

Just a moving skeleton."

"Can you imagine that scene? Lord Swain... His skin and flesh have all disappeared, and there are empty bones under his clothes. Only his face is still covered with a thin layer of skin.

...But he has no eyes, I only see two points of faint blue light."

Necromancy?

Swain frowned, no, that's not right. Although Du Couture is Darkwill's useless bastard, he is not an idiot and has no reason to voluntarily turn into a skeleton. What's more, if he joins

With the Black Rose Society, they have a much better way to give people a long life.

Thinking of this, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

A swarm of parasites…

Caterina's narration continues: "He discovered me and wanted to make me like him... and said it was a gift from the Pale Lady, her kindness, a countermeasure against the coming threat.

I was about to run away, but when I turned around I found Tyrone, who had also turned into a skeleton, and my sister."

Swain's originally steady hand trembled slightly at this moment, and even the blade shadow was turned into an undead?

"Did he also volunteer?"

"Judging from his foolish loyalty to my father, it must be voluntary."

"He didn't try to stop you?"

"After becoming undead, his movements were much slower."

"Have you been to the palace?"

"I only dare to observe the outer layer. There is a powerful magical atmosphere there. I find it unbearable just to get close."

"Where is the garrison in the city?"

"Either missing or sent out. Your army is the first to return to the Immortal Fortress in recent months."

In a few words, Swain had already made a rough guess about the current situation in the Immortal Fortress. He asked in a low voice: "Have you left Noxus in the past few months?"

"No, sir."

"So, have you seen those nobles?"

"I haven't seen them since a week ago. They've never been to the arena, casino, brothel, they've never been there again."

Swain finally turned around. He still had not figured out the context of the matter. After all, he was not a god and could not deduce the true appearance of the matter with only these clues. However, Katarina mentioned a point in time,

a week ago.

Since a week ago, the Immortal Fortress has been under martial law. At the same time, the nobles have disappeared without a trace.

And a week ago...it happened to be the day when the cold golden sun completely resurrected General Thane.

"Well, Catalina, it seems that you have been fighting alongside me for a while, which is really strange. If you include this time, this is the third time you have tried to kill me."

The female assassin knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, sir. The first time was because of General Ducao's order, and the second time was because you were slandered as a traitor."

Swain sighed: "Stand up and go to the 'Blood and Fire' tavern in the city. You should know the way. My crony Mars is there. Tell him to return to the team immediately." After saying that, he threw it to Carter.

Lina held out a dagger. The female assassin took the dagger, nodded, and then disappeared, leaving only a dagger.

Swain tore off his coat and threw all the military medals on the table. Then he picked up his long sword leaning against the wall and walked out of the door.

Thain is sitting in front of the military camp. His towering body like a mountain is much taller than others even when he is sitting. Few people dare to approach him, and there is no way to approach him. Most people have returned to the camp.

Rest, only a few lucky soldiers standing guard can take a look at the heroic appearance of the first Hand of Noxus from time to time during the watch.

"General!"

Swain's shout made him raise his head. When he saw Swain with weapons, he grinned: "I remember, you said you were going to meet the emperor."

"The plan has changed, General." Swain nodded to him, then called a soldier and said to him: "Strict security, no one is allowed to leave the military camp, nor enter. Mars may come back later, let him

Show me my dagger before letting him in, do you understand? He may bring a red-haired woman with him. She can be trusted, but again, be careful."

"Understood, sir." The soldier didn't ask much about the reason. He quickly passed on the order. From the open space in the middle of the military camp to the resting tent, rustling sounds soon sounded, mixed with the sound of wearing clothes.

The sound of weapons and crossbows being cocked. Before long, secret whistles filled the entire military camp.

After doing all this, Swain walked towards Thane. The giant did not move. He sat lazily on the ground and tapped his ferocious steel chin with his thick fingers. This crown of Jarvan I was originally

It was made of gold, but after being washed away by time and baptized by witchcraft, it had already turned into pure black steel.

"How?" Thain asked.

Swain gloomily told the information and his guess. Thain nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "How credible is that woman's statement?"

"At least eight, General. She has been a true Noxian ever since she refused to serve her father any longer."

Hearing this, Thain stood up. Some people are like this. They don't need to make any big moves or deliberately look fierce to intimidate others. Just simply moving their bodies will make people feel... A great sense of oppression.

He moved his shoulders and grinned: "So, are we going to kill people now?"

"It's hard to tell if they're still human, General."

Thain sneered and said no more.

----------------------------------------

shame.

It is simply a shame to survive in this state.

Vladimir thought so, he was existing in the pile of dead people in the form of a pool of blood without attracting any attention. For him, this matter was almost unbearable.

But he must endure it.

He heard a hoarse and vicious voice hovering in the hall filled with dead people: "How long do we need?"

"It's going to be very soon... It's just a little bit away before our Lord comes." Another voice with the same malice replied.

If Vladimir still had a face, he would frown deeply and express the purest contempt and insult to the owners of the two voices in an aristocratic manner, but his form at this time is better than theirs, no, They are even more humble.

As the two creatures gradually moved away, the blood began to boil, and with a gurgling sound, Vladimir stood up.

This ancient blood magic from the Darkin has been refined in his hands. Now, he can now transform himself between humans and blood at will. In the days when the Shurima dynasty collapsed and the Darkin rose, This ability helped him a lot, and even helped him survive to this day.

Yes, Vladimir, also known as the Blood Prince and the Scarlet Reaper. Few people know his true identity. He is one of the oldest mysteries in Noxus. Together with the pale lady, he founded the Black Rose Society. .I have played with countless mortal heroes, nobles, and mages in the applause. But when I hunt geese all day long, I always get pecked in the eye.

Vladimir had never let down his guard against that woman, but her betrayal came too quickly. Vladimir, who was planning another murder under the new identity of a young nobleman, was caught off guard. He didn't even Before he had time to kill the girl he had chosen, a group of monsters got there first.

What the hell happened, LeBlanc?

Vladimir, who looked more like a monster than a so-called prince, thought gloomily. He was dressed in red, and his skin was completely pale, and you could even see the blood vessels underneath. Although he had a handsome face, that kind of The dark temperament destroys everything.

He lowered his head and glanced at the corpses beside him. In the past two days, he had been staying under this group of corpses, using them as cover. Vladimir immediately recognized the identities of these corpses. They were all from the Empire. The die-hard elements in the top management are closely related to Swain. A bunch of idiots who firmly believe in the so-called Noxian spirit...

Thinking of this, he curled his lips sarcastically - the so-called Noxus was just a toy for him and LeBlanc in their spare time. The establishment of this empire was even due to a conspiracy of the sorcerer. They actually still

How ridiculous is it to claim that you have noble courage and conviction?

Seeing those people staring blankly, Vladimir stepped forward and closed their eyes one by one. He smiled and thought, good people always don't live long, especially fools like you.

He would not admit that he was actually such a person when he fought under the Dark One.

The Scarlet Reaper's legs turned into a pool of blood, and he walked silently in the hall. He avoided the throne of the Imperial Emperor, the former Imperial Emperor, Darkwill, and came to a hidden corner. He

He knows this place well, and he was responsible for the construction of this secret passage. If he is lucky enough, then...

Maybe LeBlanc's cousin hasn't had time to discover this place. In the past, the two of them regarded scheming with each other as a kind of fun, but now that she has a new master, she still wants to become that person herself.

She looked like a human but not a ghost. Vladimir also thought that there was no need for him to treat her as a more advanced toy.

But the enemy.

He stretched out his fingers and groped on the bricks, and stopped at a place that was no different from any other place. His unique blood magic turned his fingers into sharp blood needles and pierced the bricks.

The gaps were then filled with the front wall, and a subtle turning sound was heard. The magic he left behind was not released.

Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief, and the wall twisted into an arch little by little, and returned to its original shape after he entered. He walked in this secret passage that had not been used for at least three hundred years, and the decayed air did not let him have any trouble.

Not the slightest bit of discomfort. After all, he no longer needs oxygen.

He must leave here. This secret passage can lead directly to the outside of the palace. As long as he leaves the Immortal Fortress, he still has a way to reverse the situation. However, a question always lingers in his mind.

The reason why Noxus was established was because LeBlanc planned to use the Immortal Fortress as a point of sealing and suppression. As the capital of Noxus, few Noxians knew that in the Immortal Fortress

Deep underground, there is a huge secret buried. It is so big that it even requires LeBlanc's continuous reinforcement magic for thousands of years.

By doing this, isn't she afraid that the tyrant will come back?

Despite all the doubts, Vladimir's speed was not slow at all. He walked quickly through this dark and lightless corridor. However, because the palace was so big, it still took him a while.

to leave safely.

Vladimir didn't intend to see what the cousin was doing - since he saw her new form, this matter was completely forgotten by him. Otherwise, why do you think he would change into one?

A pool of blood was hidden among the corpses for two days? Recalling her posture, Vladimir actually felt a surge of sexual desire.

Damn, what a ghost. She turned into a purple monster, but why do I think she is so attractive?

----------------------------------------

Thane is still not wearing armor. If he hadn't asked those craftsmen, he would have been unable to find a pair of armor that could fit him in the entire empire. Even Darius's adjutant, Captain Farong, was the same, although he also

He is famous for his extraordinary physique. But it is still too difficult to compare with Thane.

In each of his hands, he held a huge ax that an ordinary person would need both hands to hold. Just like this, he even thought the ax was not big enough. Compared with Swain, he looked much normal. He was dressed in black leather armor and his waist was large.

A long sword hung between them.

Thain's footsteps were very heavy, but neither of them thought about hiding their whereabouts. After all, they were going to kill people.

"What kind of person is this Du Cacao you are talking about?" Thain asked.

Swain pondered for a while, and then they turned a corner and were not far from Duke Kao's house: "Cold and ruthless. The reason for marrying his wife was because he took a fancy to the other's magical power. He has two daughters,

The eldest daughter Catalina has shown her talent for magic since she was a child. She could have become a mage, but she was only trained as a tool by him."

"The second daughter has no magical talent, so he treats her as a tool for political marriage in the future."

"And his most capable subordinate, one of the empire's sword masters, Tai Lung. This man is willing to be used as a tool by him."

"Is he loyal to the Empire?" Thane asked again.

"Hard to say."

Thain snorted, and not long after, a magnificent manor appeared in front of them. It was wrapped in a tall black exterior wall, and Swain could see the fountains and sculptures inside through the iron gate.

At first glance, you can tell that it cost a lot of money to build a hedge maze.

"As the lackey of an incompetent emperor, he quite enjoys it." Thain said coldly.

Swain stood there observing for a while and said: "I didn't see any servants, gardeners, maids. Even the horses in his stable were missing."

The cold wind blew through the street, and the surrounding silence was terrifying. A strange atmosphere began to spread. Thain raised the giant ax in his right hand and slashed it down. Amidst the loud noise, the solid iron door was split instantly.

Became twisted scrap metal.

Then, Thain kicked it, and his huge force caused the twisted piece of scrap metal to rise into the air with a terrifying sound and speed, draw an arc in the air, and hit the main house of the Duke Kao family.

Above the oak door, smoke and dust filled the air.

"Since we are here to kill... don't worry about it so much, Swain. Besides, they are not necessarily human - am I right, Pai Ribs?"

The first half of Thain's sentence was originally very calm, but when he finished speaking, he started laughing ferociously.

A cloaked... thing slowly appeared in front of them.

Swain pulled out his sword. In addition to disgust, there was an unspeakable complex emotion on his face: "Look at yourself, Talon."

The monster called Tyrone slowly spoke, and the cold wind blew through its empty ribs, bringing echoes between the bones. It said: "Long time no see, Lord Swain. And you, General Thain."

"Are you Tai Lung? Master of Blade Martial Arts? I heard that only three people in the empire have this title. Are you good at martial arts?" Thain asked with a sinister smile.

A cold smile appeared on the wrinkled face of the thing: "It can't be done now, General. The skills engraved in my muscles have been stripped away. Apart from knowing how to hold a sword, I am no longer worthy of this title."

"What exactly did Duke Cao do to you?"

"It's not what he did to me... Lord Swain, what you should ask is-"

What was once Tyrone disappeared from the place, and its figure inexplicably appeared behind Swain. At the same time, it just said the second half of its sentence: "——She turned us into something.

"

"clang!"

There was a sound of gold and iron intersecting.

With agility that was definitely not in line with his reminder, Thane blocked Talon's dagger that appeared from the shadows at the critical moment. He swung his giant axe, forced the monster back, and said sarcastically: "I don't know when you are a human.

How powerful is it, but now that you are like this, you are really weak and pitiful."

The thing was not angry. It shook its head, tore off its face and threw it on the ground. Two points of blue flames burned quietly in its eyes. Suddenly, it dropped the dagger in its hand.

"You are right, General. But I must be loyal."

"I swear allegiance to General Dukecao. This oath is as unbreakable as gold and stone. Therefore, even if he falls to the dark side, I will follow him to the end."

"Then you should pick up your dagger, assassin." Thane said seemingly coldly.

And Tyrone's narration continued, and he seemed to have a little bit of humanity: "But I am a Noxian - please do it, General Thane. While I can still retain my consciousness."

Before Thane could swing his giant axe, Swain took the lead. The long sword in his hand chopped off Talon's head. The skull rolled on the ground and was crushed by Swain's foot.

Thain noticed that his face was extremely gloomy at this time.

"Things are getting more and more complicated." He said this. Thain did not comment on this, he just smiled disdainfully.

They arrived in front of the main house. This splendid building was now in tatters due to Thain's brute force bombardment. The main entrance had become tattered, and even the hall and half of the reception room on the first floor were in a mess.

Without choosing to enter, Swain nodded to Thain, who grinned ferociously again, raised the giant ax in his hand, and started swinging it.

Such a scene is very shocking - a giant brandishing weapons, tirelessly destroying another equally huge building. Swain stood aside, his face expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking.

Moments later, the Dukecao house collapsed completely.

"Looks like he's not in there."

Looking at the ruins he had created with his own hands, Thain was somewhat satisfied and glanced at the ax blades. After noticing that they were still sharp, he said calmly.

"If he's not here, there's only one place."

Swain turned his head and stared at the towering palace not far away, feeling helpless for the first time - Damn it, what happened to the empire?

Just when he was upset, a purple light burst out from the top of the palace. The evil energy quickly spread to the entire Immortal Fortress with the palace as the center. Countless screams came and went, accompanied by

Hearing people's screams and weird moans, under the lavender sky, the corners of Swain's eyes twitched.

at the same time.

Ionia.

Astarte, who was originally sitting in Master He Shenyan's tower, reading a book that the mage had specially enlarged for him, suddenly found that his vision began to blur, and an indescribable pressure began to spread in his heart. A

A voice that sounded like a father's, but could not conceal his fatigue, sounded in his mind.

"Kronos——"

"Here they come!"

"Is it you? The Emperor?" Kronos became excited. This was undoubtedly a revelation. How could he be so virtuous that he could accept the Emperor's revelation once again!

But the emperor's voice began to become a little blurry and distorted: "The devil...invaded...you must...help...those mortals!"

"Devil? Where is it?"

Astartes immediately put aside his excitement and sense of glory. He wished he could kill all those warp bastards right now.

However, the emperor did not respond to him again.

A soft and melodious voice, reminiscent of countless beautiful notes, took its place and began to swirl in his mind. His temples began to feel abnormal swelling and pain, and various illusions began to spread in his heart. Astartes immediately began to recite silently.

Prayer to the Emperor, before whom an Astartes is no different than a mortal.

When facing them, they all had only one piece of armor and one weapon: loyalty to the Emperor.

Kronos tried his best to block out her voice, but he just couldn't.

He could still hear her voice, reminiscent of the joy of a woman between the beds, with unparalleled temptation: "Look what I found... It seems you are in your place."

You are not sitting still, my sun."

"Ah~" She let out another soul-stirring moan, and Kronos gritted his teeth. He felt as if his brain was about to explode. A sticky feeling began to spread on his face, as if he was being

The person was licking with a long and forked purple tongue. He heard the voice and said: "And you, little one..."

"Stay away from him!"

Kronos heard a roar, so deafening, majestic but also filled with unconcealable exhaustion. And the voice groaned again in pain and pleasure: "Ha~ continue! I like you to treat me like this.

I, Sun, you understand emotions much better than that red guy! Continue!"

In the next moment, her voice changed. It became like thousands of human voices speaking at the same time, mixed with countless mesmerizing sounds. Cronus tried his best not to hear those in the background clearly.

blasphemy. She, no, He said very happily: "But you can't stop me! This world is mine! Mine!"

"wake up!"

Astartes suddenly opened his eyes, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The armor was constantly giving him warnings, his heart rate was exceeding the standard, and his cerebral cortex was abnormally active. He looked down and found that a line of blood had been soaked

The Master lent him the book, and the source was his nose.

Kronos wiped away the blood expressionlessly and stood up. There were already other things in his mind, and the Emperor's voice kept echoing in his heart: "Go to Noxus, my warrior!

"

As you command, Emperor.

Astartes put on his helmet and picked up his chainsword. The scarlet eyepiece lit up again.

He said the prayer silently.

Burn the emperor's will, destroy the monsters in the cave!
