Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 735 Promotion

In the study, Noxian Grand Commander Swain was leaning over a desk piled with documents and important cases, reviewing them.

Ever since Swain realized the existence of the dark force behind the empire, the newly appointed Swain has implemented one decree after another, aiming to integrate the resources that were divided up among the nobles.

Let the empire obtain sufficient "nutrients" and truly ensure that his will can be implemented in every region, every city, and even every soldier fighting on the battlefield.

When he was young, he could only briefly fantasize about such things in his mind, but now, Swain, who had signed a contract with the demon Ram and obtained the "power of the demon", was fully confident that he could do this.

"Click~!"

After reviewing the last document, Swain casually placed the pen from Piltover on the table.

Looking up at the slightly pale sky outside the window, Swain would hold today's morning meeting in another hour.

'When was the last time you slept?'

For no apparent reason, this thought suddenly occurred to Swain.

Since signing the contract, the "demon power" has not been used by him in fighting, but instead Swain has turned himself into a "perpetual motion machine" energy source.

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Enter."

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, there was a strange noise coming from the tomb of the hero Sion. After investigation by the magician, it was confirmed that the 'Undead God of War' Sion is missing!"

"Did you find any traces?"

"My Lord, apart from the destruction of the magic circle used to restrain Sion in the tomb, no trace was found."

"I understand. Continue to investigate and report any situation immediately."

"Yes, my lord!"

After the person who reported left, Swain called upon the "demon power" hidden in his body, and his dark brown eyes slowly began to glow scarlet.

"Om~!"

Swain's sight passed over the buildings in an instant, and the abnormal Sion Tomb appeared in his eyes.

"It seems... that this is not the organization's method.

Empire, is there another group of ambitious people?"

Swain, who used the demon's vision to see details that the guarding mages and soldiers failed to notice, frowned slightly.

Under the light of the study, Swain's already high brow ridges became even more prominent. As the scarlet light faded, his deep eyes were completely shrouded in darkness.

'Ram.'

"Yes, my dear ally~!"

...

After helping Li En, Vega said goodbye and left, returning to his own "evil kingdom".

In this regard, Li En did not make an invitation that would embarrass the other party. After all, Li En also knew that as long as Modkaiser was not dealt with, the shadow in Vega's heart would not disappear.

If it weren't for the fact that Li En's thinking was really in line with his, and this time it was about Mordekaiser, Vega probably wouldn't have wanted to come to the Immortal Bastion, a place with endless darkness and painful memories.

Coming back to the room where he met the Pale Lady, Li En sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for the leader of the Black Rose to digest the news he brought.

"Karsas... Thank you for your hard work, Li En, you did a great job this time!"

"It's my job, thank you for the compliment."

Li En can guarantee that the Black Rose must have received the news the moment Sean's tomb shook.

In addition, Li En has no conflict with the Black Rose on how to deal with Modkaiser.

Therefore, he had no intention of hiding anything about Karsus' actions this time and told Leblanc everything.

"Then I will first..."

"Wait a minute, Li En."

"Please give your orders, sir."

"Haha~!"

Leblanc slowly stood up from the sofa and came to Li En.

Although Leblanc was wearing a black mask without any patterns, she exuded a restrained and charming temperament, just like the thing that represents the association - the blooming black rose.

"Li En, I have seen your strength and loyalty. From now on, you will be a core member of the Black Rose. You can freely mobilize any resources within the association."

"Leblanc..."

"Just call me Madam."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Haha~! Very good..."

Leblanc chuckled, stretched out her pale hand hidden in her robe, and slowly moved it towards Li En's chest.

In response, Li En did not dodge or resist at all, allowing the pale and slender index finger to gently touch his heart.

Seeing this, Leblanc's smile under the mask became even brighter.

"Om~!"

Magic power surged, and a gorgeous and fragrant black rose bloomed on the clothes on Li En's heart.

"The black rose will bloom here~!"

Leblanc's whispered voice rang in his ears, and the next moment, Li En returned to the basement of Reyes Manor.

"Dear~!"

A gentle call came from behind, and Li En felt a soft body hugging him from behind.

"Uh...Hilda, why are you here?"

"You've been dealing with the association's affairs these past two days, so I've been coming here to take a look before going to have breakfast. It just so happens that I've waited for you today."

Hilda let go of Lee En slightly and turned him around to face her.

“Ah! What are you doing!?”

Looking at the black rose on Li En's chest that was slowly hiding, Hilda showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Well, after completing the mission, the Pale Lady gave me this reward. From now on, I can mobilize all the resources of the association at will."

"That's great, Lee En."

The black rose disappeared, Hilda looked up at Li En, gently stroking his face with her right hand, a happy and relieved smile on her face.

"That poor little guy who was chased by two minions has now grown to the point where even I have to look up to him~!"

"Now, it's my turn to protect you."

"really?"

"Of course, after Lee En Reyes thoroughly..."

Hilda gently covered Li En's mouth with her white and slender hand, and glared at Li En in reproach.

"From now on, don't make such an oath. I don't want to hear that word!"

"Yes, my dear Lady Hilda."

...

"Hmm? Aunt Hilda is going to the meeting?"

Looking at the empty main seat, Annie tilted her head curiously.

"I don't know, hiss~! Ouch! Annie... My stomach hurts so much, I won't go to the academy."

"Ah! Brother Li En, you're back!"

Upon hearing this, Berea, who was holding her stomach, immediately jumped up from her chair.

"Come on, Li En. I really plan to go with Annie... Annie! You lied to me!"

"Hehe~! Sister Berea, I may be young, but I'm not stupid, so you should just go to school with me!

Don't you, Tibbers?"

"Woo!"

Tibers, who was also tasting a ball of fire, nodded in agreement.

Being in a 'miserable' situation and seeing a guy who is equally 'miserable', how could it, as a demon, let the other person escape?

Without Berea, who was repeatedly called upon by professors in class but could not answer their questions, how could she make up for the happiness of the day?
