Chapter 128 Swain of Noxus
Swain remembered it very clearly, because Li Ke was a very caring person.
For Swain, there are very few people who can make him feel that they are a "big threat" at first sight, and Li Ke is such a person. Although Li Ke's intelligence is only about Li Ke blocking a batch of holy relics from returning to Noxus, but just by looking at the intelligence about Li Ke, Swain felt that the other party would be a big threat to Noxus.
This feeling is very magical, because the batch of holy objects is not particularly important, and Li Ke’s information is actually nothing special. He just mentioned this guy in the information, and emphasized the introduction of Rito, who is called the Sword Saint.
But Swain had a feeling that if Li Ke was left alone, then Li Ke would lead to an outcome that no one wanted to see, so he cared a lot.
He once scoffed at this feeling. After all, although Li Ke was powerful, he was just a small character. Rationally speaking, there was no point in targeting Li Ke.
So when he saw Li Ke here, he was surprised, but also felt helpless that his intuition had come true.
After all, he was too busy, so busy that even if he felt that Li Ke was a serious threat, he had no way to deal with it.
Because Li Ke is really just a minor character.
"You don't seem scared."
Li Ke casually pulled out the document that Swain wanted, but looking at Swain who was unarmed but remained calm, he still asked curiously.
"Being afraid is useless, and the fact that you haven't taken action yet proves that you may not want to take action, but want to do other things. So why don't I take advantage of this time to handle more official business? After all, no matter how broad your goals and objectives are, my work is still something that only I can do."
Swain continued to review the documents, most of which were about food and supplies for the expeditionary force. If he did not intervene personally, the expeditionary force would not be able to set out for at least another six months.
The reason is nothing more than manipulation and embezzlement, but embezzlement is not a capital crime. In Noxus, if you can bring back more after embezzling, it is not considered embezzlement.
But ability.
But to be honest, even though he thought this kind of thing could add to the wildness of the troops and the style of Noxus, he still felt a little annoyed.
Li Ke casually glanced at the document in his hand. On it was a list of military officers, and most of the names were in the aristocratic style of Noxus. It was obvious that the old crow had done something sinister.
If I take this document with me, will the nobles above me be anxious? Will the assassins who can sneak in here think that they are important targets?
Li Ke didn't know who these nobles were, but it was obvious that whether he handed the document to this old crow or not, he would be able to make use of it.
This is not a wild guess, but a feeling.
It feels like the person in front of me, who is close to old age but has the mental outlook of a real young man, would indeed do the same.
“Then you are really dedicated.”
Li Ke threw the document over casually. He found Shen and asked him to violate the rules and bring himself to Noxus, not to gossip with Swain.
After quietly pressing the alarm device, Swain was actually very curious about Li Ke and the others' behavior: Why didn't they kill him?
Although killing himself would not stop the Noxian chariot that had already been launched, it could greatly slow down the pace of Noxus' attack on Ionia for about a week.
If it were me, I would do it without hesitation, but I intuitively felt that I was a person with a lot of concerns.
"Swain, I'm here to negotiate terms."
Shen raised his head and looked at Li Ke in surprise. Li Ke asked him to use the secret art of balance to cross the spiritual realm, but he never said such words when he brought him to this famous immortal fortress!
He said he was here to gather intelligence!
The story began two days ago. He heard that Li Ke's village was attacked by a dragon, so he rushed back without stopping. However, Li Ke did not say anything about the dragon. Instead, he made an incredible request.
Travel to Noxus using the mysticism of the Kinko Hypostasis.
Shen refused directly. He had betrayed Hengheng and it was impossible for him to do anything with the secret technique of Hengheng. However, Li Ke told him how to use the spiritual realm to achieve the technique of space teleportation and told him that he had approached him to reduce trouble.
Not that he couldn't do it.
Then, Shen was persuaded, and reluctantly took Li Ke across the veil of the spiritual world and came to the Immortal Fortress of Noxus.
But to be honest, Noxus' connection with the spiritual realm is too weak, almost just a thin layer.
This kind of thing is very dangerous. If one hundred people do it, ninety-nine of them will die. If you are not careful, you will be buried in the spiritual realm. Li Ke has no magic. If Ahri does it, he is really worried that Li Ke will die in the spiritual realm.
“Negotiation? You are Ionian , so you must want to use my life to stop Noxus from attacking Ionia, right? But you think too much, this is impossible. Even if you kill me, it can only delay the attack for a week at most, and I will never betray Noxus.”
Swain showed a puzzled expression. He was a little disdainful, but he felt that the person who his intuition felt was a serious threat should not be so superficial.
Noxus attacked Ionia, firstly because the Emperor wanted to prolong his life, and secondly because everyone wanted more land and slaves.
That's right, slaves.
Noxus is almost a slave society... Maybe it's not in line with the Noxian spirit that freedom is supreme, because when they capture a royal city, they often liberate the slaves there and make them free people.
However, this does not mean that there are many slaves in Noxus. It is just that compared to slaves in other places, slaves in Noxus can become free people if they make meritorious services.
Moreover, most of the slaves of Noxus are prisoners of war, criminals, and diehards of former princes and nobles. These people are the important cornerstone of Noxus. Most of those who resist Noxus are captured will become slaves. Only those who are outstanding can become Noxians, but they will also have more tests than others.
They were spoils of war after all.
But this alone is enough to make people proud, because in other places in Valoran, slaves are slaves and can never turn over a new leaf.
As Shurima was developed, although a large amount of land and manpower were obtained, there was not enough food on the land of Shurima, and the development of the jungle also took time.
