Chapter 282 Who are you?

Chapter 282 Who are you?

What happened back then is unintentional.

What matters is now.

There is no need to verify the authenticity of the slate murals, because both the winged protector and the masked figure are recorded in the royal family's archives.

It's just that the times have changed, and something too long ago has been lost.

Now, the truth that had been shrouded in dust back then has been revealed, and everyone present, including the civilians, soldiers, traders, nobles and ministers who followed, fell into a silent silence.

No one thinks that what they have been doing since birth turned out to be a mistake from beginning to end.

"This piece of history should no longer be hidden."

Jarvan III broke the silence at this time. He stepped forward to take the stone mural from Lu Qi and ordered: "Calling everyone to the grand square, including the mages, I will announce an important decision."

"yes!"

Several people took the order and quickly turned around and left.

"Let's evacuate here first, leaving some manpower to clean up everything here."

Jiawen III looked around, looking at the place where the demon seeker's sins were hidden, and there was still a flash of sadness in his eyes.

Such things happened under his nose. He was ashamed that he had been immersed in the flattery of the people around him all these years, and he felt complacent about a small achievement, which blinded him.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I am not a qualified king."

He sighed quietly, and his face seemed to have aged several years.

"Your Majesty, don't say that."

"You can't be blamed for this."

"It's all these cunning villains who unite in private to do such things that are outrageous to both humans and gods."

"We are the only ones who are incompetent."

When the people around him saw this, they all stepped forward to speak out.

Because even Silas and other mages have to admit that when it comes to kings, Jarvan III is indeed qualified.

The Demon Searcher's activities were done in private, and with many nobles covering up, it was not difficult to hide it from him.

But when it comes to responsibility, as a king, he does have innumerable responsibilities.

But this topic has to circle back to a key point.

Forbidden Demon.

Even Jarvan III adheres to the teachings of his ancestors. The great cause of banning demons has been passed down for hundreds of years from ancient times to the present. How can it be easily abandoned?

If something like this hadn't happened today, I'm afraid the dust-shrouded truth wouldn't have been revealed for a long time.

When something is fundamentally wrong, there are only two choices.

Either you continue to make mistakes unswervingly, or you wake up and repent halfway.

By the third life, he and his ancestors had been wrong for too long.

At least, he has woken up.

On the way out of the Demon Searcher's secret base, Lu Qi remained silent, silently thinking about something.

He always felt that there was still one missing link in this matter, a crucial but not so critical link.

Lux walked aside, looking at Lu Qi's worried face, and said with some worry: "I don't know if mother has been affected. If she has been at home, she should be fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qi was awakened.

He raised his head and suddenly ordered: "Quinn, bring a team of people and follow me."

"yes."

Quinn responded immediately.

Lux saw this and asked quickly: "What are you doing?"

"You go to the Grand Plaza first, I'll be there later."

Lu Qi left the message, took Quinn and a group of people, and quickly left the team.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, he accelerated his return to the capital.

Half an hour later.

Lu Qi led the team to a location.

He looked at the slightly old but rather large mansion in front of him and got off his horse.

Nowadays, the royal capital has not settled down. There are teams of soldiers going to various places everywhere. Countless people have been arrested this time.

The city gates were heavily guarded, and even the escape exits from the sewers were blocked.

What is prevented is that people with a guilty conscience take advantage of the chaos and escape.

It can be said that those involved in this incident are like being caught in a urn in the royal capital, with nowhere to escape.

The mansion in front of him is the key that Lu Qi forgot - Chambers Russell's mansion.

The door was locked, and Lu Qi easily broke it open, then led his men straight inside.

"You guys are guarding the door."

He watched Quinn give an explanation and then walked towards the mansion in front of him.

"Yes." Following Quinn's gesture, a group of soldiers quickly expanded and surrounded the mansion so tightly that not even a fly could escape.

Lu Qi had already stepped into the mansion at this moment, and it was quiet inside, as if there was no one around.

He walked slowly to the living room and saw a man sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking hot tea.

He was about sixty years old or above, but in good condition, dressed elegantly and luxuriously, and full of nobility. At first glance, he looked like a nobleman who was used to pampering.

Chambers Russell.

Strictly speaking, he may be the mastermind of this rebellion.

At the same time, he was also one of the chief ministers who took the lead in opposing the establishment of Melli.

As the light in Lu Qi's eyes flashed, after opening the Eyes of Reality, what he saw was the real face under the face of the Russell man.

She is a woman with black hair, purple lips, white skin, enchanting eyebrows, and a beautiful face. Her delicate face has a somewhat mature charm, exuding a vague charm.

As for her identity, Lu Qi recognized her at a glance.

The Fairy Trickster——LeBlanc!

Lu Qi was not surprised to see her, or he had vague suspicions in his mind before.

Otherwise, Duke Kao, an assassin who was all the way in the capital of Noxus, could reach the capital of Demacia smoothly and get in touch with Turt and other nobles.

If there was no explanation, Lu Qi wouldn't believe it.

LeBlanc is the leader of the Black Rose, a secret society in Noxus. She is mysterious and scheming.

Even the name LeBlanc may be her pseudonym.

Her hobbies are unknown, but she seems to like bringing all kinds of trouble to Runeterra.

With the help of her special ability, she can disguise herself as many identities and appear in multiple places at the same time, always hiding in the dark and plotting some shady conspiracies.

This woman has lived for an unknown amount of time in the long history, and her age can even be traced back to the founding of Noxus.

And during this period of time, she caused countless troubles.

It was not surprising to Lu Qi that such a woman had infiltrated Demacia.

He even guessed that LeBlanc might have lived here as a Demacian very early on.

And, over the years, it has occupied a certain position in Demacia.

Just from her current power, we can see that the most representative one is Tourt.

Turt is one of the eight ministers of Demacia. As a representative of the nobility, his influence has almost reached the top of the Demacia regime.

And for such a person, everything he does is based on LeBlanc's instructions.

His ally is Qiao Xi, who is also a representative of the nobility. As for more allies, they are still in the investigation stage.

But just thinking about it this way, the situation is already terrible.

In fact, this woman did almost mess up Demacia.

If Lu Qi had not planned ahead, the outcome of today's incident would never have been what it is now.

At this moment, in the living room.

"I think this should be the first time we meet, Second Prince."

At this time, LeBlanc, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his head when he saw the visitor. With a pair of twinkling eyes on his outstanding face, he looked at Lu Qi with a hint of curiosity, and spoke first.

"I didn't expect that you would come to arrest me personally. It also fulfills my wish to see His Highness."

She said, slowly putting down the teacup in her hand.

At this time, what Lu Qi saw was no longer a man in his sixties, but a young woman with a voluptuous figure and a curvy figure.

"Your captor is still on the way. I'm just here to ask you something."

Naturally, Lu Qi would not be deceived by the charming and beautiful face in front of him. He knew that the woman in front of him was as heartless as a snake and regarded human life as nothing.

So he walked towards the living room with a calm expression, then sat on the sofa opposite her, and then said: "Why do you always want to see me? This is indeed the first time we have met."

LeBlanc smiled faintly: "I have heard about the second prince's deeds for a long time. As for why I want to see you, it's because I have looked at many people in the royal capital, but I have only underestimated you."

Her eyes had no meaning, and she always looked at Lu Qi, as if looking at a rare treasure: "You are someone who is outside my overall plan, just like playing chess, you make me feel like Suddenly, there was an opponent on the chess table. It came very suddenly, and the counterattack was also very sudden. Every move was unexpected. He didn't even give me a chance to react, and he directly defeated the opponent. "

"Second Prince, who are you?"

Those eyes seemed to be able to see through the essence for an instant, making Lu Qi feel like he had been seen through.

But he smiled without any panic: "I am me, who else could it be. But you, it feels very strange to me. You are like a bystander who has nothing to do with today's events and stays out of it. And Your news came very quickly, your nephew Tult has been killed by the sword."

"There are only two outcomes for today's events. Since you have already appeared here, there is no need to guess what the outcome will be."

Hearing the news of Tourt's death, LeBlanc still spoke calmly, showing no trace of sadness, but it was true that he was not the real Russell.

To LeBlanc, Russell may be just one of thousands of tool men.

At this time, what interested her more than the news of Stuart's death was the young man in front of her, with his extremely handsome face and calm eyes.

Strictly speaking, this was her first close encounter with the prince.

She had looked at him from a distance, more than once, and every time she could see him lying lazily on the chair, letting time pass by him worthless.

But it was precisely because of these few times that she made wrong judgments.

If she could take a look at him at such a close distance like now, she might not despise the prince in front of her so much.

Now that she saw the prince again, she felt a little surprised.

Because some people rarely appear, she feels elusive, and this person in front of her is one of them.

At this time, she sighed slightly and said: "They were still a little impatient, and it's my fault that they didn't recognize who their opponent was this time. A game in which the wrong leader was chosen from the beginning is doomed to failure."

What happened today really made LeBlanc feel surprised, surprised and even surprised.

Because even before this, she never thought that her plan would fail so quickly.

Just like what she said just now, Lu Qi is an existence that is completely separated from her plan.

No matter how you calculate it, her plan should succeed this time.

The third generation was killed, the fourth generation came to power, and the ban on demons continued to be maintained. The fourth generation who took power in the short term was a puppet that could only be controlled by the ministers.

During this period, she was able to run many planning steps. After this wave, she could capture at least half of Gude Macia's political power.

As a result, although this country is still called Demacia, it is actually controlled by her.

The remaining ones are all hard to crack, but in her eyes, it is only a matter of time before it continues to operate.

However, in this plan, she ignored only one person.

Lucci.

From the very beginning, he was an unexpected person.

In fact, LeBlanc felt that Lu Qi should never have appeared in the first place.

But now, he was sitting opposite her in real life.

As for myself, I had been brewing a big game for so long, planning for so long, and accumulating for so long. Everything, today, in one day, was all in vain.

Just because of the man in front of me.

It was like he appeared out of nowhere, and he had an insight into her plan from unknown time.

This is what makes LeBlanc feel strange. She hasn't had this feeling of being calculated for a long time.

Maybe I shouldn't have despised him from the beginning, but in the end, I still regarded him as a controllable chess piece because of my wrong judgment of him.

Strictly speaking, it was her arrogance that led to this failure.

"Compared to this, I am still extremely curious about your existence."

There was undisguised curiosity in her eyes. A pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to contain strange magic looked at Lu Qi and said: "It seems that the person who rescued you mother and son is still helping you secretly."

These words aroused Lu Qi's interest. He came here this time for this reason, so he looked directly at LeBlanc and said, "Tell me more about those years."

The two of them were sitting in the living room, not drawing swords at each other. The conversation was like a chat between friends, and their postures were relaxed and casual.

"Didn't that person tell you?" LeBlanc paused and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Now that the matter is over, there's nothing that can't be said. There's no harm in telling you."

Lu Qi said nothing and waited quietly for the next step.

He was very interested in the person LeBlanc mentioned. It seemed that there was another hidden story behind what happened that year.

Who is the person who secretly helps Mellie?
