MTL - The Mage Behind the Scenes From the Twin Cities-Chapter 2 Choice comes from strength
The hustle and bustle of war is over, and Noxus has won a glorious victory.
Du Quecao's army had won too many of these victories, and everything went on in an orderly fashion.
As a military mage assigned by the empire, Ryan sat in his independent tent and prepared a pot of Noxian spirits, which seemed to be waiting for some guests.
After a while, the curtain was pushed open, and the tall and straight Du Kekao walked in first.
Behind him, Katerina, whose face was ashen, seemed to have completely lost the firm belief she had before.
Ryan admired it slightly, and then focused his attention on Du Kakao again:
"I brought the spirits from the immortal fortress. I heard that General Kekao wants to drink a drink whenever he wins."
"You don't look like someone from Trifali at all, but you look like you belong to Black Rose."
Du Kekao stepped forward, grabbed the jug, and happily took a big gulp into his mouth.
The flame-like alcohol burned his throat, and it was undoubtedly the strongest alcohol in Noxus!
"No one stipulates that Trifali is a war madman, and Black Rose is not all a delicate mage." Ryan shrugged slightly.
Trefary was secretly established by his former boss to reshape the decaying empire of Noxus.
The Black Roses were established in the shadows at the very beginning of Noxus, and the change of the imperial throne has their shadows.
In fact, he had a choice. The pale lady of Black Rose personally invited him. As long as he betrayed his old boss, he could not only join Black Rose, but also be given immortality by him.
However, he sincerely admired his old boss. In the battle of Presidian, when the empire abandoned them, and his comrades were almost dead, he brought himself to support the difficult ones and survived.
After the memory was over, Ryan stared at Du Kekao:
"General Kekao, we Trifali are tired of the imperial infighting, it's time for Noxus to rise!"
Ryan wasn't originally Noxian, or even of this world.
He traveled through Demacia and Ionia, but eventually Noxus accepted him.
This is the best soil for talented people. Whether it is force, magic, business, politics, or alchemy, as long as it is beneficial to the empire, everything will be accepted.
Noxus decides class by ability, and height by strength. This alone is enough to make Ryan identify with the empire.
After all, no one would think that he is an incompetent mediocrity.
Du Kekao was still drinking heavily, but his expression became more and more sober as he ingested the alcohol.
The meaning of Ryan's words is very clear, the other party came with a kind invitation from Trifali.
Although he is powerful, he does not need to stand in line at this moment. But in the face of the great changes that the empire is about to usher in, he had to make plans early.
Having made a choice in his heart, he glanced at his daughter who was still in a state of lost soul behind him, and Du Kekao said coldly:
"I'm a general who opened up new territories. I only follow the orders of the upper echelons of the empire. I'm here to say something else."
Ryan also glanced at Katarina with a smile on his face:
"Please say it."
"I don't need reckless soldiers in my army." Du Quekao's voice was cold.
When the voice fell, Ryan could clearly feel Katerina's body trembling slightly. Maybe her heart has collapsed, but because of the rigorous training and teaching, she will not be able to rush out.
Ryan's position was different from that of Katerina, and he knew exactly what Du Kekao meant.
Du Kekao didn't want to take the initiative to stand in line, but the situation in the empire had reached a serious point. An eldest daughter who was expelled from the family might be the hope of the Kekao family, and there was no father's expectation for the eldest daughter.
"Trifari doesn't do charity." Ryan smiled.
He is cooperating with Du Kakao's father's performance. Although he does not agree with the other party's idea of expecting his children to become talents because of hatred, this is a family matter, and fathers are willing to be tools for their daughters to grow up, so he can't say anything.
Hearing that she was being evaluated by the two like a cargo, Katarina's face was nothing different, neither angry nor hysterical, at most just a little unwilling.
Noxus is like this. The strong decide the fate of the weak, and the strong will not limit the growth of the weak. Only one's own ability is the best proof to the right.
Here, the cowardice in the heart must be covered with the frost on the face. Katerina understood this truth when she was 6 years old.
"Recently, Picheng has been a little restless, and the transactions of the imperial nobles have been compromised there. His Majesty the Emperor wants to hand it over to me, but I prefer war. Judging from the recent troop movements of Noxus, I can't make peace with it for the time being. The Piltover War," said Du Quecao.
He was very interested in killing people and setting fires in Picheng. But if he just went to Picheng to be a diplomat, it would be a complete waste of his time.
His implication was that he wanted to give up this troublesome errand.
This is not just a troublesome errand, Ryan's representative, Trefary, needs an excuse. With this pretext, he can hold the lifeblood of many nobles.
"Piltover... In recent years, because of the rapid development of Hexfield, I really want to meet and see that Jess Tallis. We have taken over this matter with Miss Kekao. ."
Ryan readily agreed, and the outcome of the Battle of Presidian made him hate war a little bit. He had heard that Piedmont was a peaceful city, and it would be nice to take a vacation there.
However, there was one thing he had to confirm.
"General Kekao, what's my name this time?"
He gestured to Katarina.
"Katerina has been Trifali's subordinate since today, and Kekao will have no such person in the future! I will give you the Kekao family law, which can represent the will of me and the Kekao family."
Du Quekao said in a cold tone, and after he finished speaking, he walked out the door with a little bottle left, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.
After a while, Ryan stopped playing with the right hand of the Kekao family magic badge, and turned to look at Katarina, who was habitually cold-faced like his father:
"Ryan Meredith, one of the founders of Trifali, you should be familiar with me."
After listening to Ryan's introduction, Katerina made a little movement. She knelt on one knee and lowered her head:
"Every Noxian has heard of you, Your Excellency. I'll be of your service!"
"Get up first."
Ryan waved Katarina to get up, leaned back on the chair and said:
"I have heard countless times when I was in the immortal fortress, UU read www.uukanshu.com Katarina is the most talented assassin of the Kekao family, and will definitely surpass Du Kekao's genius in the future. I would love to hear from you opinion on that.”
"It's just a piece of trash who failed the first mission." Katarina laughed at herself.
In today's battle, 25 Noxian soldiers were killed by Demetrius, and every loss of life was her responsibility.
She has no pity for life in her heart, but she will not deny the mistakes she made.
"What do you think the problem is?" Ryan asked.
"I failed to obey the order. Once again, I am confident that I can kill Demetrius." When Katerina mentioned the name, she was full of confidence.
In her eyes, if she doesn't make her own decisions, it may be a perfect mission.
"Miss Katerina, I don't think so. We are both Noxians and know each other. Please answer me seriously. What did you think after beheading the enemy commander?" Ryan was indifferent looked directly at Katarina.
"I..." Katerina opened her mouth slightly, and finally replied sullenly, "I want to continue the assassination mission."
"Killing the commander is a bonus, it's definitely not a mistake. Your mistake is just one point..."
Ryan didn't finish speaking, but Katerina already understood what he meant. Her fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes were filled with strong unwillingness, but she still took the initiative to clarify:
"I have made my choice, but I don't have the strength to make it."
"Very good." Ryan nodded with satisfaction. "Keep this state of mind. Tomorrow, an airship will take us to Piltover. There, I hope you can complete the transformation."
"According to your arrangement, Your Excellency!"
