Li Ke's avoidance of reality didn't make Nora unhappy. Instead, she happily grabbed Li Ke's hand that was holding onto the blanket and pulled Li Ke's blanket away, revealing Li Ke's lifeless face.
"Long time no see! My dear, how can you be so cold to me now? How sad! "
Her tone was filled with excitement, and she didn't feel that Li Ke was disgusted at all. The expression on her face gave people the feeling that she was looking at her own parents.
Although it sounded weird, this woman who was touching where she shouldn't be was indeed looking at Li Ke as though he was her biological parent. She was looking at Li Ke with an extremely passionate gaze.
"I don't know when we'll be close enough to call each other 'dear'."
Li Ke was speechless. Every time he met this woman, nothing good would happen. There were so many mysteries surrounding this woman that he didn't know how to explore them. Therefore, he directly held her irregular hand, but the delicate touch was just like before. He couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of Noxus' nobles.
After all, in this day and age, to be able to maintain one's skin to the point that it looked like a baby's skin, the amount of effort and expenditure must be on a frightening scale, especially when this woman was an ambassador of Noxus who was clearly in charge of diplomacy and some other matters.
The journey and the wind and frost had not been able to make her skin worse. Only a magical world like this could do that.
"Don't be so heartless. After all, I'm here to convince you to agree to the conditions of that master assassin and help us. So, why don't you let me pay a little price so that you can feel guilty for a little while? Besides, you and I can have some fun that we can't let others know about. I swear, no one will know what happened here. "
Nora regretfully moved her hand away from a certain place that she couldn't touch. Then, she looked at Li Ke with a disappointed expression and began to speak of her purpose. However, her straightforward words obviously made Li Ke concerned. Noxus people wouldn't speak of their purpose so bluntly unless they had enough confidence to convince you.
Li Ke had already accepted his fate. He was obviously involved in the open and covert struggles of the Noxus Empire. He remembered that Nora's faction was also a faction of nobles, which meant that these Noxus nobles would have to perform all sorts of strange operations in front of Li Ke.
"If I can be bought over by beauty, then do you think I won't be bought over by even more beautiful women? So, let's just forget about it. "
He held his forehead and sat up. His eyes became serious.
"Just tell me your purpose and reason."
He had a feeling that Nora's reason would make him laugh.
Nora didn't do anything else. She sat up and played with her fingernails absent-mindedly. However, her tone was very serious. Although she made a seductive pose with her legs in front of Li Ke when she began to speak seriously, she was indeed speaking very seriously.
"We don't oppose their plan, but we oppose the plan to make the Emperor immortal and become a God. He has been in that position for too long. Some pedantic and corrupt people have also been in that position for too long. If these maggots continue to control Noxus, believe me, the things that you don't want to see will multiply. Besides, do you really think that they will fulfill their promise after regaining their youth? "
Of course, Li Ke didn't believe her. When it came to power, one couldn't easily trust a single word, especially when it came to Noxus, who were used to breaking their promises. If an upper-class Noxus people kept their word, it meant that their strength was much higher than the Noxus people.
"I can make them fulfill their promise."
However, Li Ke had the power to do so. Besides, after hearing Nora's words, Li Ke confirmed his guess. Those old men who wanted to regain their youth were blocking the path of the young men. If their elders really regained their youth, then the support and help that the young men received would disappear in an instant. After all, compared to nurturing their own children, those who held power would want to take a step forward.
It was a classic problem and a conflict that could cause a powerful empire to collapse.
"Yes, you have the power, but what about the others? There will always be shadows under the light. Haven't you suffered enough in this city? If you are willing to help us, then we don't mind helping you get some people who can help you. Some people that you can use to your heart's content. "
Nora tried her best to persuade Li Ke, but she also knew that compared to those who held power now, the benefits that she could provide were very little. Therefore, she could only give those old men something that they couldn't.
That was talents, Noxus talents.
"Similarly, do you think I can trust the people you give me?"
Li Ke raised his eyebrows. This condition was quite unexpected. He didn't lack money or power, but he did lack people that he could use. And since Nora was able to offer such a condition, it meant that she was confident that Li Ke would accept the talents that she provided.
"Of course, why not? Do you think Noxus's will is a good thing? And what happened to him now? Has he been slowly corroded by countless noble worms like us? The soldiers, civilians, and low-ranking officials who are disappointed in Noxus want to change the current situation of Noxus and make Noxus better. That's why they can only die. Although some of their executions are handled by master assassins, most of the time, they are wiped out by secret service organizations formed by the nobles. We can hand these people over to you and use them as your subordinates. They have sufficient training and discipline, as well as loyalty and love for their homeland. Basically, if there's anything that can be considered true Noxians, it's basically these people. "
Nora spoke with fervor and assurance, but when he reached this point, he shrugged helplessly.
"But it's a pity that Noxus doesn't need these real Noxus people now. After all, with them around, there are many things that can't be done well. Nobles also care about their reputation, don't they? If there are too many real Noxus people, it will be really difficult to deal with them. "
Li Ke was a little speechless.
What was this?
Could it be that these Noxus people would say something like 'According to reliable information, there is a Noxus person among us' during a meeting?!
