After the Noxus woman finished speaking, she reluctantly tied her clothes together so that they wouldn't fall off when she spoke. But when she saw Li Ke's shocked expression, she revealed a smile to Li Ke.
"You're surprised, aren't you? But this isn't something unbelievable. For the sake of the purity and strength of our bloodline, we only marry people who are related by blood or powerful beings. And my marriage partner was … the general's son. And after he died and you became … uncle's adopted son, my engagement naturally fell from uncle's head to yours. "
Her smile was very sincere, which made Li Ke subconsciously feel that what she said was true. And according to his understanding of Noxus's noble customs, this was indeed the case. The marriage of nobles wasn't dependent on the individual, but on the family. Even if the marriage partner died in battle, as long as there was a replacement, even if the replacement was the marriage partner's illegitimate son or father, as long as the replacement proved that he wasn't inferior to the marriage partner in terms of strength and potential, the marriage would continue.
It was crazy, but also very realistic.
"Haha, what does that have to do with me?"
However, Li Ke only wanted to sneer and kill the woman in front of him.
"Yes, of course you won't admit it. But you know it yourself. You have the desire for tyranny, power, and strength, right? Admit it, Noxus is the most suitable stage for you. As for other places? They will only make you a criminal or an outcast. "
But the woman didn't panic at all. After she finished speaking, the crystal in her hand was completely depleted. She casually threw away the fragments of her body and sauntered towards Li Ke. During this process, she snapped her fingers and the blood stains on her body flowed down like flowing water, dying the yellow sand under her feet black.
When she arrived in front of Li Ke, who was riding on a camel, she lifted her head, revealing her elegant neck and beautiful cheeks.
"If you're worried that you've killed … uncle, almost killed Draven, Teleus, and Draven, as well as me, then you don't have to worry at all. These are all manifestations of your abilities. As long as you're willing to lead our family to prosperity, serve Noxus, and use this ability to serve the Empire, then it won't be a problem."
Twisted, disgusting, but very practical point of view.
Li Ke didn't say anything. He just looked at the female Magician quietly. As if seeing that he wasn't moved, the Noxus woman who had almost died stiffened for a moment before smiling again.
"Ah, what a stubborn guy."
She pondered for a moment and spoke before Li Ke was about to break her neck.
"Then, what about the safety of your companions? You should know that because of you, the big-breasted Miss Sarah has a bounty of 200 gold coins on her head. And with us searching for you on a large scale, it's impossible for her to escape. Come to think of it, she should be caught soon, right? "
Li Ke jumped in front of her in an instant. Although she closed her eyes and waited for Li Ke to attack her, Li Ke didn't do so. Instead, he took a deep breath and spoke.
"What are you trying to do?"
There was no point in threatening her now.
Li Ke was more and more certain that this woman had ulterior motives, and it definitely wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"It's simple. How many people in Noxus do you think you'll gain the favor of an extraordinary bloodline? Moreover, your magic isn't a secret at all. Do you really think that you can hide the fact that you reconstructed that lady's arm in Demacia from us Noxus people? "
Nora, the female magus of Noxus, smiled. She wouldn't tell Li Ke that the spy called Luna had recorded everything she did, especially the incident where the Royal Guard lost an arm. She had recorded it in detail. The assassin organization that didn't wait for her return also retrieved the information that she was hiding in the forest. Based on some other information, they deduced the effects of Li Ke's magic.
Moreover, with further investigations into the fortress where Li Ke came from, many things that Li Ke had been buried were slowly being unearthed.
But of course, this information wasn't available to everyone. At the very least, ordinary nobles only knew that Li Ke's body was recovering at an astonishing speed. Only the greater nobles knew that Li Ke could use magic to reconstruct his lost body.
"Just because of this?"
"Just because of this."
Miss Nora laughed once again.
"If you can make me pregnant with a descendant with the bloodline of a Celestial Warrior, then not only will your arrest warrant disappear, even your companion's arrest warrant will disappear. What do you think? Isn't this a good deal? "
This preposterous answer made Li Ke feel a little depressed. The Noxus people's pursuit of power was too abnormal. This woman was definitely not unique. In the middle and lower classes of Noxus, there were simply too many women like her. Li Ke was also very sure that if he had such thoughts, he could even be like a stud horse. He could even play in the beds of the outstanding ladies of the various large families and receive a hefty commission from their families.
Of course, this was on the premise that he could really increase their bloodline and was willing to do such a thing.
"Change it."
"Then how about helping me revitalize my family? Anyway … Uncle originally intended for you to inherit the family, and I will be your right-hand man to help you deal with some shady matters."
"… Do you think I'll believe your nonsense? Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence for us to meet? "
Li Ke couldn't help but retort because this matter was too strange. A random Noxus people he met knew about his past and had a deep connection with it. This was really hard for Li Ke to believe. But no matter how he tried to sense this woman's heartbeat and various reactions, he could only feel her sincerity and that she was definitely hiding something that was beneficial to her.
And in response to Li Ke's doubts, this Miss Nora also gave a reasonable answer.
"Because when you left Demacia, I already received the information. Besides, you don't really think that after provoking the Noxus army, you can still hide, right? Even if I didn't meet you here, I would have met you somewhere else. "
After saying that, the girl with the black rose pattern on her robe once again revealed an intelligent and sly smile. And under this smile, the incomplete black rose pattern on her collar became even more enchanting.
"You can't escape."
