Chapter 296 Shurima, nobles, mercenaries

Shurima.

Located in the port city of Uzeris close to the seaside.

This was once a small port in Shurima, and now it has become one of the territories of Noxus. It seems to be the starting point of Noxus' ambitions for the continent of Shurima.

The iconic black stone of Noxus built a high city wall here, and caravans came and went.

On the streets of the city, there are Shurimans and Noxians everywhere, some walking in a hurry, and some strolling leisurely.

The wind from the Valoran continent also blew here at this time.

In the city is the residence of the Kecao family.

Soleanna looked at the message in her hand, her arms trembled slightly unconsciously, and her pupils shrank slightly uncontrollably.

"Mother, what does the letter say?"

A soft and charming voice came from the side. It was very distinctive. It didn't seem to be a deliberately charming tone, but it was natural and charming.

The speaker was a young and beautiful woman with outstanding grace, charming eyebrows and a good figure. Her facial features were very delicate, and if you look closely, you could see that she was somewhat similar to Soleanna.

"Cassiopeia"

Soleanna glanced at her daughter and exhaled heavily: "Your father is dead, and the person who did it was Katarina. She is now the leader of the Assassin Association."

Upon hearing this, Cassiopeia's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and she said, "So she still took that step? Should we be happy for her or sad?"

"Whether he's happy or sad. With the way he educates people, father-daughter conflict will happen sooner or later. This is what you and I expected."

Soleanna raised her hand to tidy up her daughter's hair, her eyes flickering: "That's not the point this time."

Cassiopeia looked puzzled: "What is that?"

Soleanna calmed her tone: "She used the Assassin's Association to reveal the news of the Black Rose to Noxus. Now the entire Noxus is responding to the call to defeat the Black Rose."

Cassiopeia was stunned, as if she didn't expect that the person who did such a thing was her sister.

Back then, Duke Kaor led his troops to attack this port city in Shurima and resettled a family of four.

However, the imaginary family reunion did not last long. Soon after, Darkwill sent troops to attack Ionia and urgently recalled Duke Kao.

Before Dukecao left, he took Catalina away, and the sisters separated. She stayed in Uzeris with her mother, Soleana.

During this period, she discovered that her mother had joined a secret organization, the Black Rose.

Naturally, Cassiopeia, who was taught by her mother, also joined this organization, and based on her talents, she was already one of the important members of the Black Rose.

Black Rose has been operating secretly over the years.

Now, the matter of Black Rose was suddenly revealed to the public, which neither mother nor daughter expected.

And the person who exposed this matter turned out to be Katarina, their closest relative.

"The news came from the Black Rose inner circle and has basically been confirmed."

Soleana placed the letter on the candle and watched it slowly burn: "Now the Pale Witch has given an order for all of us to hide our whereabouts and keep a low profile for a while. It is best not to be exposed."

Cassiopeia's brows wrinkled unconsciously: "Then us"

"We can only obey orders. You should not interact with other members of the Black Rose during these days."

Soleana looked at Cassiopeia and warned.

Cassiopeia nodded seriously: "I understand."

The room fell silent, and after a while, Soleanna's low sigh was heard.

Cassiopeia saw why her mother sighed and said softly: "Is mother worried that the black rose will affect us?"

"Yes. This incident almost immediately pushed the Black Rose to the forefront. Catalina seems to be intending to fight against the Black Rose and is bound to uproot the organization."

There was a touch of sadness on Soleanna's face: "If this continues, we will eventually be involved. At this time, the lives of every Black Rose member are in danger."

Soon, she suppressed her worries, thought about it, and made a decision immediately: "I think we should think of a way out for ourselves. Nothing can happen to the Black Rose. This is our foundation."

"What does mother mean, that we are going to take action against my sister Catalina?"

Cassiopeia's eyes flickered, and the face of a red-haired girl flashed in her mind. She was the instigator behind this incident.

From Black Rose's standpoint, Katarina is also their enemy.

"No." Soleana shook her head slightly and held Cassiopeia's hand: "No matter what, she is my daughter, your sister. We are connected by flesh and blood, and she is doing what she thinks is right. We Joining Black Rose is to gain more power. If you change your perspective, this is not an opportunity for us."

Cassiopeia nodded, her eyes flashing with wisdom, and said, "In other words, she is helping us open the way?"

"Yes, over the years, no matter how hard you and I try, we have never been able to enter the inner circle of Black Rose."

Soleanna said slowly: "Because of Duke Kao's influence, the pale witch has never trusted you and me. But now, she has no time to take care of herself, but it is an opportunity for us to penetrate into the Black Rose. Relying on the family will never be A perfect strategy, so now we need a powerful force to serve as a new foundation and the capital to enter the top ranks of Black Rose."

Over the years, mother and daughter have done a lot for Black Rose and made a lot of contributions.

But she has never been able to squeeze into the true inner circle of Black Rose.

It was not difficult for them to see that this was the pale witch who was deliberately blocking their progress.

But now, a new opportunity lies before them.

The Black Rose was exposed, and every member was in danger. Even the pale witch had to order her whereabouts to be hidden.

This incident made Soleana realize that when danger comes, only her own strength can protect herself in danger.

She thought about some of the things she had come into contact with in Shurima over the years.

"In ancient times, there was a key that determined the supreme hegemony of ancient Shurima. It was a power that was close to that of a god."

Soleanna held her daughter's hand and spoke slowly: "Because it was so long ago, even many locals thought this was just a legend. But I know that this is not a legend, this is a real force that exists now. Sealed in the ancient continent of Shurima.”

Cassiopeia said softly: "If we have this power, we will no longer have to obey the orders of the pale witch forever. We will also have the capital to protect ourselves in the coming danger."

"Yes, over the years, I have been secretly searching for clues to this power."

Soleana nodded and looked tenderly at her most satisfied and proud daughter: "However, the clues I have found are only very rare. Originally, I thought that we would set off after we have made sufficient preparations. But now, we We have to act in advance.”

Cassiopeia held her mother's hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, mother, leave this matter to me. I swear that I will find this power and bring it back."

"I will withstand the pressure coming from Noxus. Once Duke Kaor died, many eyes were staring at me. Now I can't escape, so I can only leave this matter to you."

Soleanna said softly: "Cassiopeia, we don't have much time, but while we are looking for this power, what I hope more is that you protect yourself. Do you understand?"

"I understand, mother, don't worry, I am someone who has been taught by you personally."

Cassiopeia smiled and nodded.

There was little delay, and Cassiopeia was ready to go almost in the afternoon.

After living here for so many years, she is already very familiar with this continent.

However, before setting off, she needed to find a reliable helper.

Stopping at the door of a tavern, Cassiopeye reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the tavern and stepped in.

Her steps were light, and even though she was wearing sandproof clothing, her exquisite and perfect figure could still be seen.

And her beautiful face attracted the attention of all the men in the room the first time she walked into the tavern.

However, after realizing Cassiopeia's identity, these people all looked away.

This man is a big local noble and can't afford to offend him.

At the end of the tavern, there was a woman who didn't look back. She was wearing a mercenary's armor and had short black hair. She was sitting in front of the bar, drinking all the wine in her glass.

Cassiopeia walked forward, twisted her waist and sat next to her, looking at her with a smile: "Sivir, there is a new order, do you want to take it?"

Hearing this, Sivir turned his head, looked at Cassiopeia's beautiful eyes, and smiled: "Don't be the Riddler. I remember I told you that as long as the reward is enough, I can't take the job." It seems that the difficulty of making you vague is not low."

The two have cooperated several times, but this time Sivir immediately noticed something strange about Cassiopeia.

After being seen through, Cassiopeia nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't even know the target location this time, and I don't even know the time required for the mission."

Sivir laughed out loud: "Then why did you come to me? Go shopping with you? Madam? It's not impossible. It only costs a hundred gold to rent Sivir for a day."

Unexpectedly, her joke was taken seriously by Cassiopeia. She looked into Sivir's eyes and said, "Then I will probably rent you for at least three months."

Sivir was stunned for a moment: "Are you kidding me? Renting me for at least three months is not something you can do with a hundred gold."

How many orders is enough for her to make in three months?

Her title as the majestic Shurima Emperor is not just for boasting.

One hundred gold a day is enough to just go shopping with the cute little beauty.

But if it takes three months at a time, that’s absolutely impossible!

Cassiopeia pursed her lips a little aggrievedly and said, "Isn't this what you said yourself?"

"Stop doing this with me, let's talk about something if you have something to say."

Sivir replied lightly, pushed the wine glass to the front desk, and signaled the boss to add more wine.

The little beauty in front of her looked at her with eyes that were almost drawn to each other, and her every move and smile almost made the men in the tavern frown.

She can guarantee that as soon as this little beauty speaks, these men will immediately fall under her skirt.

There was no way, even she had to admit that Cassiopeia was indeed beautiful.

But the problem is, I am a woman!

And his sexual orientation is male!

Cassiopeia knew that the beauty aspect was not feasible, so she began to talk about the matter seriously: "Two hundred gold a day, this is the limit, count it in days, until you find it. If it succeeds, I will I will give you an additional commission of five thousand gold."

To be honest, this reward did attract Sivir's attention: "Two hundred gold a day, calculated as three months, that's eighteen thousand. After the work is completed, there will be five thousand, and this is just the price for me alone. Tsk tsk tsk , it seems that you have spent a lot of money this time. I am very curious, what can make you spend such a high price? "

The eighteen thousand and five thousand here are Sivir's personal prices.

To be honest, even for Sivir, nearly 20,000 gold is a lot of money.

If this is the case, this order is not impossible to accept.

But now she was more curious about what Cassiopeia was planning to do.

You know, this list is definitely not just for the two of them, Cassiopeia will definitely have to find someone else.

And there is a group of mercenaries waiting under him.

These amounts add up to quite a lot of money.

"In short, we are looking for something. Even I have very few clues. We need to dig out all the way. There will definitely be danger, so you should think carefully before taking it."

Cassiopeye's answer was still vague.

But when she said this, Sivir felt that he would definitely know what he needed to know on the way.

As for the danger

A smile appeared at the corner of Sivir's lips: "No danger is as great as 20,000 gold. Prepare the money. When will we set off?"

Cassiopeia said: "If you can, leave now."

"No problem, I'll shake people."

Seeing that 20,000 gold was about to be received, Sivir was in a very good mood.

She drank the wine she just added in one gulp, then took out a gold coin from her pocket, put it on her hand and flicked it with her thumb. The gold coin made a crisp sound with a "ding" sound, and quickly flipped and flew up.

"Give this beautiful lady a glass of red hearts."

With that said, Sivir turned around and walked out with a relaxed pace.

The gold coins fell quickly, but they landed firmly on the table in front of the boss without even bouncing.

This is nothing short of a successful show of skill.

Cassiopeia also had a slight smile on her lips. She watched the boss bring a glass of red wine in front of her and nodded gently to thank her.

Then, she also picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

The drink in her stomach made her beautiful face more rosy, and her red lips looked even more bright and attractive at this moment.
