"Sir Li Ke, instead of killing all of us, isn't it more appropriate to find Darkwill's loyalists and kill them before ruling over us? This way, what you're worried about won't happen. Noxus' strength won't decline or suffer any setbacks. The only problems that arise will be within our means of resolving them. And in situations that require strength, I believe it won't be a problem for you, right? "
Nora yelled at Li Ke the instant she cast her spell. Li Ke didn't expect his female companion, who had mysteriously disappeared the moment they disembarked from the ship, to appear in such a place like a boss behind the scenes. Li Ke paused his AOE attacks because of Nora's appearance. Instead, he focused most of his attention on the male nobleman who was spewing out bloody radiance from his body and didn't seem like a good person.
"I'm curious, Nora. You don't look like a small fry sent by the Parliament. You've been complaining to me about how tiring your work is … But now, it seems like you're a big shot."
After increasing his energy output, Li Ke gazed at the male noble who was enveloped by his power and knitted his brows. This was because he sensed a powerful strength from the male noble. Even though it was similar to Yatokus's strength in Freldrod, it was an existence that mortals couldn't resist. Li Ke also felt a sense of familiarity from the strange, bloody energy in his body. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have the special power of an ascender, Li Ke would have even thought that this guy was a Dark Descender.
And such an existence had disguised himself as a mortal to keep an eye on him, and even used very familiar flesh magic in a place like Noxus. Then …
"Your name should be Vladimir, right? A monster that lives by sucking human blood? Am I right in saying that? "
Li Ke gazed at Vladimir, who was trapped in place by his power, and said his real name.
Vladimir understood a lot of things the instant he heard this sentence. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and roar Lefran's name in his mind. He also looked at Nora, or rather, Lefran, who was slowly kneeling down and swearing loyalty to Li Ke. This was because Li Ke definitely didn't know his name. Before this, he didn't have any contact with Li Ke. The men he sent didn't meet with Li Ke directly either, so it was impossible for him to reveal his name to Li Ke. But Li Ke seemed to know him like the back of his hand, so there was only one possibility.
"Lefran, it seems like you've really betrayed us."
He slowly said this sentence and stared at Nora, who was half-kneeling on the ground, as well as the nobles who knelt before Li Ke because of Nora. His heart was filled with anger, especially Elise, who was kneeling beside Lefran. He was not angry that Lefran had betrayed him, because both of them would have done such a thing. What he was angry about was that Lefran had chosen a puppet and toy to be her ally, while treating him as a chess piece. This made him feel that he was blind to have chosen such a woman as his ally.
However, he didn't show any more anger. Instead, he calmed his anger in an instant and slowly bowed to Li Ke.
"Your Excellency Li Ke, this humble servant is Vladimir. But there's no need for us to fight, is there? You were the one who attacked me first. I was merely defending myself before you truly hurt me. Ah, I'm not criticizing you or being dissatisfied with you. I only respect you from the bottom of my heart and wish to cooperate with you. After all, your thoughts are undoubtedly interesting to me. I'm also willing to use my thousands of years of wisdom on this great cause. "
He was once a toy in the hands of a Dark-Kin. Of course, he knew how to react in front of someone he couldn't resist. However, after thousands of years of controlling others, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He didn't immediately use the method he used on his Dark-Kin master in exchange for his own survival. Instead, he wanted to cooperate with Li Ke and use his schemes and strength to seize Li Ke's power.
"No, a person like you is too dangerous. Besides, you're only a parasite to the human race. As for the so-called thousands of years of wisdom, I'm sorry, I think Nora will give me such wisdom! "
A game was a game. In the game, Li Ke could naturally put himself in the shoes of this Vampire without any burden and go on a killing spree in the canyon. However, when facing the real Vladimir, this Vampire who had the same name as the leader of a certain country, he didn't have the slightest interest in talking to him. Since the other party had already admitted his identity and revealed an extreme desire for his strength and blood, and was a guy who sought death in a righteous way, death was his only destination.
"Die!"
Scorching sunfire suddenly erupted from Li Ke's palm. As soon as the flames appeared, half of Li Ke's clothes were burnt, as well as the floor tiles where Vladimir was standing. The floor tiles were immediately charred black, and then cracked. Vladimir was like a vampire in a movie. Under the illumination of the sun flames, he quickly turned into ashes without even having the time to let out a scream. After the flames burned the defenseless Vladimir to ashes, they continued to penetrate the walls of the fortress without slowing down, adding a path of lava to the sturdy fortress that was constantly flowing with red liquid.
Such power undoubtedly made the Noxus people who wanted to attack him stop in their tracks. They weren't afraid of death and were willing to sacrifice their lives for their country, but they also wanted to avoid a meaningless death. But if no one stood out to stop them, they would have no choice but to go even if it was a meaningless death. But now that a big shot had expressed his stance and the situation was a little blurry, the people who weren't loyal to Darkwill tacitly fell silent, waiting to see how the situation would develop.
After putting down his hand, Li Ke looked at the spot where Vladimir used to be and knitted his brows. He didn't feel like he had killed this guy, and he had a feeling that this guy had escaped. However, whether Vladimir escaped or not was a trivial matter. Li Ke had already memorized the smell of his magic. As long as he didn't escape from this continent, after he transformed into an ascender, his five senses would be enhanced to the level of a god, and he would be able to catch him by following the smell of his magic. And now, the most important thing was Noxus.
He ignored the trembling nobles and strode over to Nora, who was half-kneeling on the ground. He reached out and grabbed Nora's chin with his right hand, forcing her beautiful face to look at him in a somewhat rough manner.
"Should I call you Nora, or should I call you Lefran?"
Nora smiled and calmly answered Li Ke. Even though she was in her original body, she couldn't escape like Vladimir. But she remained calm because she knew that Li Ke definitely wouldn't kill her. She had absolute confidence in the deception she had used this time. It was because the deception was too terrifying, so terrifying that no one could escape from it. Even if Li Ke had god-like powers, it was the same.
"Nora is Nora, and Lefran is Lefran. Although I obey Lefran's orders, I'm not Lefran. I'm only Nora, the Nora who is loyal to you."
She smiled happily, just like when she was accompanying Li Ke. She didn't look unnatural at all. She even stuck out her bright red tongue and licked Li Ke's scarred thumb.
Because she used deception this time.
It was called sincerity.
