Chapter 339 Coup (9,000 words)

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The main city of Noxus.

The entire sky was shrouded in a gray atmosphere, with dark clouds gathering in patches, and a slight breeze blowing through every street in the city, making people feel inexplicably heavy.

There is always a trend of storm coming.

"Tick"

Suddenly, some pedestrians on the street felt a chill on their noses, and a drop of water fell, followed by two or three. Rain came.

The autumn rain comes as soon as it comes, and it turns from light rain to heavy rain in the blink of an eye.

Located in the towering Immortal Fortress, a majestic tower-like building stands in the center of the city. It was the first castle to be captured by the Noxian tribes, and was later used as the capital of generations of Noxians.

Military meeting hall.

On the throne.

Darkwill sat on it with an expressionless expression, his eyes scanning the ministers discussing below. Listening to the rain falling continuously outside, his irritability became more and more intense.

Time is running out, really running out.

Although Black Rose said that he would be able to give him a satisfactory answer in two days.

But for him now, two days is long enough.

The Demacian army was marching towards Kul'Sala at this moment, and they hung in his mind like a sharp sword.

He couldn't help but wonder, what if there was still nothing he could do against them this time?

What if we continue to lose?

Darkwill realized the fear in his heart, which made him furious for no reason. He glanced at the ministers with an ugly face, slapped his right hand hard on the throne, and said angrily: "I have given you for so long Time, but no one has given me a satisfactory answer, does Noxus support you just to make a living?"

His sudden anger silenced all the officials in the audience, and no one dared to speak.

They all buried their heads in the ground, as if ashamed.

"What Demacia has, we also have, even more than them. I have given you inexhaustible resources, but who can answer me, why are you being bullied at will by them now!?"

Darkwill looked at these ministers with disappointment. If even one person stood up at this time, he might not be in such a bad mood.

But no, the audience was always quiet, as if it was just him in a one-man show.

The sound of rain became louder and louder, and Darkwill's mood became more and more irritable.

He didn't know why, but he always felt something was wrong today. Everything and everyone looked wrong.

The corners of my eyes kept twitching, and I didn't even sleep well last night.

"Da da da."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, followed by a man's deep voice.

"Because you did it wrong from the beginning."

"who?"

Darkwill's eyes turned cold and he looked towards the place where the sound came from.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, a figure gradually came into his sight. He was wearing a black robe and had white hair. He was walking leisurely in the courtyard. His red eyes flickered with the firelight, With a hint of depth.

When you look into these eyes, no matter what angle you look at, he seems to be looking at you too.

Seeing the person coming, Darkwill was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Jerico Swain? Are you not dead?"

"I just came back from hell."

Swain walked towards the middle of the hall, his tone was unhurried, "I saw the wolf spirit flashing past my eyes, but he didn't take me away. He allowed me to return to the world to save Nok. Sars.”

After listening to his words, Darkwill looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Yes, now is the time when Noxus needs you. Swain, after hearing the news of your death, I was extremely sad. Now I see That you can come back alive is the best news I have heard recently."

He stood up from the throne and came down step by step from the high steps, as if he wanted to greet Swain personally.

With a smile on his face, he seemed to be genuinely happy for his return.

Swain raised his head slightly, looked at him with deep eyes, and said: "Darkwill, the game of seeking immortality must be over."

Darkwill paused on the steps and looked down at Swain, still with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about?"

"The Black Rose helped you ascend to the throne, and they informed you of the elixir of life in Ionia. From then on, you were like a man possessed, sending troops to the east."

Swain said in a calm tone, "In eight years, there have been countless casualties. Now that the enemy is facing us, you are still stubborn and dreaming of immortality. Now, it's time to wake up from the dream."

"I sent troops to conquer the east more because I wanted to expand the territory of Noxus. Ionia is a treasure land and it should belong to Noxus."

Darkwill looked at him and said, "But you are right, I really shouldn't insist on attacking Ionia. I did make a mistake in this matter, and I almost got you killed there. I know you You have grudges against me, but now is not the time for you and I to get into trouble, Swain, continue to assist me as you did before."

"Jun? Minister?"

Swain smiled, a gentle smile, and then said, "From today on, Noxus no longer needs a 'king'."

The smile on Darkwill's face disappeared, and he stared at Swain coldly: "What on earth do you mean?"

"You are no longer fit to sit in that position. Darkwill, for Noxus." Swain said every word, his voice getting colder, "I ask you to die."

"Be bold!"

An old minister stood up angrily and pointed directly at Swain: "Young man from the Jericho family, understand your position. How dare you be so disrespectful to the commander-in-chief!"

"What a presumptuous statement, Swain, you are treasonous!"

"Don't be arrogant here!"

One minister after another stood up and glared at Swain.

They were all loyal supporters of Darkwill, so Swain's words had naturally greatly offended Darkwill and them.

Darkwill said coldly: "So, you are preparing to rebel?"

Swain did not deny: "Yes, this is my intention."

"How ridiculous. If you want to pull me down from the position of commander-in-chief, you must have this ability."

Darkwill sneered and ordered: "Come here, kill this traitor on the spot!"

Suddenly, bursts of neat footsteps sounded. From outside the hall, Noxian soldiers holding heavy weapons and wearing armor squeezed into the hall and headed towards Swain.

Swain stood there indifferently.

The next second, these soldiers dispersed in all directions, aiming their weapons at Darkwill and his followers.

Seeing this scene, Darkwill and the followers were slightly stunned.

The white-haired old man at the beginning said angrily: "Rebellion! How dare you point your weapon at the commander-in-chief?"

"Shut up."

A minister couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and looked at the white-haired old man: "I have tolerated you for a long time. I know that he is wrong, but I still insist on having my own way. Even so, you still protect him, officials protect each other, and collude with each other in private. ,Corruption."

"Yes, this is Noxus, not just your Darkwill palace."

"One wrong step, one wrong step, Darkwill, you don't deserve to sit in that position anymore!"

The ministers who had been silent for a long time stood up one after another and pointed their fingers at Darkwill.

Seeing this scene, Darkwill already knew what was going on. He looked at Swain and said coldly: "It seems that you came back earlier than I thought. You just incited some people to rebel. This is just a matter of time." You want to overthrow me by just picking someone up? Ridiculous!"

"Among these people, I only instigated two rebellions." Swain looked at him and said, "One is Wally Rooney, and the other is Darren Dudley."

After finishing his words, Darkwill looked at the two ministers with a hint of disbelief in his anger.

These two people are his confidants!

When he became the commander-in-chief, they were indispensable for pushing him behind the scenes!

However, now Swain told him that they were instigated to rebel?

Seeing Darkwill's gaze, Wally and Darren no longer remained silent and stood up one after another.

"When we followed you, we saw infinite possibilities in you."

"But now, you have taken the wrong path. We have advised you. All you have in your eyes is immortality. Noxus has become your one word. No matter who it is, no one dares to disobey it."

"You gave us so much, but because of that, you can take it away at any time."

"In these years, we have walked on thin ice in front of you, for fear of saying the wrong thing."

"It's time for these days to end."

They revealed the unwillingness buried in their hearts.

Darkwill laughed angrily and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I treat you well, but I didn't expect to raise two white-eyed wolves!"

Wally looked at him: "Darkwill, don't you understand yet?"

Swain took over: "Darkwill, you have lost the support of the people."

"What bullshit people's support!" Darkwill, with veins on his forehead exposed, was alone on the stage, looking down at everyone. Then he raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist: "In Noxus, strength is everything! If I have strength, I should rule everything!"

He returned to the steps, sat on the throne, and slowly turned the handle.

However, after waiting for a while, no movement was heard.

He frowned slightly.

Suddenly, more than twenty corpses fell from the ceiling, all of them fatally wounded.

Immediately afterwards, figures in gray robes fell down one by one, their faces covered and their eyes calm.

A slender figure landed not far away, shook off the blood on the dagger, looked at Darkwill, smiled calmly and said: "Are you waiting for them? Or are you waiting for your cronies to come with troops? You might as well watch Look outside, Darkwill."

Darkwill's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the corpses. These were his personal soldiers, strong in strength, but they died silently.

After hearing this, he immediately took a few steps to the right and looked through the window towards the city.

His eyesight was excellent, and he immediately saw heavy rain falling on the streets of the city. Countless black-armored soldiers appeared in various places, and the black-armored soldiers were fighting with the black-armored soldiers.

Death by death, surrender by surrender, beheading by beheading, extremely decisive.

All of this seemed to happen suddenly. In the heavy rain, Swain's rebellion was carried out in an orderly manner.

"Or are you waiting for Black Rose to come and save you? They dare to come just in time and catch them all in one go."

Behind him, a voice came again.

Darkwill turned around with a gloomy expression and stared at the woman: "Assassin's Association, Katarina, I should have thought that you were secretly colluding."

"Collusion? No, we are just united because of the same goal."

Katarina looked at Darkwill coldly: "You are no longer worthy of commanding Noxus, Darkwill. Noxus should turn back from its wrong path."

"Haha. Do you think you've got me now?"

Darkwill sneered, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body. His eyes turned red, his slicked hair exploded, and he instantly attacked Katrina.

His speed was very fast, and he appeared in front of Catalina almost instantly.

Catalina immediately dodged, her eyes slightly startled, as if she didn't expect that Darkwill would actually hide such strength.

At such a speed, she didn't even see it clearly.

During the investigation, it was found that Darkwill himself has good strength, but at the moment, it seems that he is hiding very deep.

"Not everyone can get involved in this position!"

A white light flashed in Darkwill's hand, and a hidden sword hidden in his sleeve was unsheathed and slashed towards Katarina.

At this moment, a fierce attack came out of nowhere, making Darkwill feel a strong threat and had to give up the attack and choose defense.

His body was shaken and he fell back a few meters. In a blink of an eye, he suddenly found Swain appearing in front of him.

He was surprised that he didn't see clearly how Swain took action.

The next second, a strange red light flashed in Swain's eyes, and a crow sounded like a crow in the dark. A red magic lightning surged like thunder, and Darkwill was instantly blown away.

"Magic?" Darkwill burst back in the air and stared at Swain horribly, "No, it may be a stronger power."

He landed on the ground and stared at Swain warily, but felt something was wrong.

A strong intuitive warning, as if some danger is coming.

what exactly is it?

Darkwill frowned. Why did he feel so bad before the war started?

In a blink of an eye, he suddenly saw a bright red eyeball in front of him, staring at him strangely, as if dragging him into boundless darkness.

"No! Get out of here!!"

Darkwill became furious, roared, and his body expanded, emitting an even more powerful aura.

At this moment, every corner of his body contains endless power.

This is the power the black rose gives him!

In this state, he is invincible!

The next second, Darkwill returned to reality from the darkness. His scarlet eyes searched for the enemy, but he found several crows landing on his shoulders.

The crows stared at him strangely from all angles, some opened their mouths and made sharp cries.

There was another one that was particularly strange, with six eyes and shiny black fur. It was looking at him with its head tilted.

Darkwill swept them away angrily, and the crows flew up and landed on the window.

Looking back, Darkwill was stunned.

Swain stood there, his face as usual, his strange red eyes looking at him indifferently, and his figure expanded infinitely at this moment.

He seemed to have become a giant, high up, overlooking Darkwill.

Suddenly, behind him, a pair of huge black wings spread out, and unspeakable terrifying power suppressed Darkwill's heart.

Gray and black feathers scattered all over the sky.

Darkwill felt like he was breathing quickly, his heartbeat was racing, and his whole body was weak. The powerful pressure from Swain made him breathless.

There was only shock and horror in his eyes. At the last moment of his life, he finally realized what power Swain had.

"demon."

Before he finished speaking, he was already pinched in mid-air by Swain. An irresistible force made him unable to breathe, and his face became increasingly pale.

The next second, Swain clenched his fists, and Darkwill's struggling body gradually stopped moving, and then became motionless.

Letting go of his hand, Darkwill's body fell to the ground, and the watching crows flew over and landed on his body, hopping one after another.

In the eyes of people, everything Darkwill experienced in this short period of time was just Swain's unilateral beating.

They watched with their own eyes as Swain killed Darkwill effortlessly.

"Pass the command. Darkwill is dead. It's time to end unnecessary disputes. All those who love Noxus, there is no need to fight among ourselves anymore. We should unite as one."

Swain turned around, looked at everyone in the audience calmly, and said.

Soon, a soldier turned around and passed on the command.

Some ministers looked at each other, then suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "See Commander Swain!"

Some ministers said: "Lord Swain, please lead us against Demacia!"

"The throne belongs only to you!"

The ministers witnessed Swain's shocking strength with their own eyes, coupled with his already highly anticipated abilities. If he were to usurp the throne at this moment, no one would be dissatisfied.

He is the next Commander-in-Chief of Noxus!

Swain watched them surrender one by one, slowly walked towards the throne, and was about to sit in this position under everyone's gaze.

But he didn't.

He stretched out his hand, landed on the throne, and suddenly released a powerful energy, destroying the throne in front of everyone.

Countless people were stunned and froze on the spot.

The place suddenly fell into an incomparable silence.

Swain turned around and broke the silence: "I said, from today on, Noxus no longer needs a king. I will lead Noxus with you to a better tomorrow. This is inevitable. .”

"From this moment on, I announce the cancellation of the succession system of the great commanders of the past dynasties. The Trifari Council has been formally established and changed to a parliamentary system. From now on, the power in Noxus will no longer be monopolized by one person."

"I, together with Caterina Du Cacao, are temporarily representatives of the Trifalli Council. Next, I will look for more outstanding talents. At the same time, I also call on all capable people to join the Trifalli Council. As long as you swear to forever I am willing to accept anyone who is loyal to the empire, including the Black Rose. As long as you are capable, there will be a place for you on the stage of Noxus."

His words made the people in the audience excited and couldn't help but shout Swain's name.

The heavy rain is still falling, and in the heavy rain, a transformation belonging to Noxus is about to begin.

News of Darkwill's death quickly spread throughout the city.

Before people had time to be surprised, the news of Swain and the establishment of the Trifari Council followed one after another.

Swain is still alive? Killed Darkwill?

The latter has long lost the support of the people, and people can't help but applaud it.

At the same time, the succession system of the Grand Commander was cancelled, and the Trifarian parliamentary system was officially adopted. Power will be dispersed everywhere, and everyone will discuss the future of Noxus together.

Only those whose abilities are recognized by everyone can become representatives of the Trifari Council.

It is no longer like Darkwill, who monopolizes political power and can do whatever he wants.

At this time, Swain temporarily took over Darkwill's unfinished mission.

Facing the ministers, Swain immediately said: "Give me the order to withdraw all the troops that invaded Ionia."

"Send someone to find the whereabouts of the Black Rose. If possible, ask them to send a representative to see me."

Soon, a top-to-bottom rectification began.

Swain knew that it was absolutely impossible to completely clean up this centuries-old city in one day.

But it doesn't matter, he will do what no one else does.

He would do anything for Noxus.

Everyone who should be busy is busy, but right now, there is still an important issue.

Maybe it's Demacia hanging in front of Noxus.

They are the biggest problem right now.

Sitting on the chair, Swain looked thoughtful. At this moment, the regime had just changed. This was not the time for him to leave the main city.

For now, we can only go step by step.

But soon, he discovered a huge fortune that Darkwill left him.

That night, his men found a dungeon underground in a fortress.

Swain paced, walking in the corridor, and heard bursts of crying sounds in his ears.

He came to the dungeon, which was already closely guarded by a group of soldiers.

From behind the iron doors of the dungeon, hungry roars could be heard.

Swain knew about these things, which Darkwill called living weapons, and there were quite a few of them.

At the end, there is an experimental table, which is empty.

Swain's eyes flashed red, and he vaguely saw traces of someone conducting experiments here. It seemed that he had just left, taking all the materials with him.

But he didn't have time to take these experiments away with him.

Soon, news came from the other side.

They seem to have found a stronghold of Black Rose.

Swain quickly went to see a palace-like building with walls full of traces of age.

The palace was very crowded, and Swain saw signs that a group of black rose magicians had been active here before.

By the way, they found some information that they had not had time to take away.

"Looks like a magic trick."

Swain looked thoughtfully. From the records, he learned that this was an order from Darkwill, asking Black Rose to find a way to fight against the Forbidden Demon Stone Statue in Demacia.

It seemed that they were only one step away from success, and Swain felt that if he was given some time, he could make up the rest.

"Is it true that I didn't have time to take it away?"

Swain looked around and saw many hurried footsteps.

He did not wait for the representatives sent by the Black Rose, but he did wait for their news.

No matter what, the black rose did help him a lot this time.

At the same time, in Black Rose, another stronghold.

LeBlanc opened the door and walked into the room. I saw Vladimir drinking a glass of red wine expressionlessly, the wine was as red as blood.

Seeing her coming in, Vladimir said: "Do you know what it feels like to suddenly notice hundreds of soldiers breaking into my territory during an experiment?"

LeBlanc said: "I understand, I just experienced this."

"The idiot you found was overthrown in a few hours, and all he could think about was immortality. If it was really easy for humans to break through the upper limit of life, how could there be so many idiots?"

Vladimir's tone was calm, but you could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Behind these few hours, I'm afraid there has been a period of preparation." LeBlanc found a seat and sat down and said, "Swain's timing was good. Even I didn't notice that he had returned. Things. Before today, I thought he was dead."

"Not only is he not dead, he has now become the new master of Noxus." Vladimir shook the red wine glass in his hand and sneered, "The Trifalli Council is ridiculous. It was just found by the person who won the throne to stabilize the power. Just a reason.”

"Anyway, he did give us a surprise." LeBlanc sighed softly, "At least this time, our efforts were in vain."

"Yeah, I'm not happy about being picked up on ready-made results."

Vladimir's eyes flashed coldly. In order to make more living weapons for Darkwill these days, he didn't take much time to rest.

As a result, after working for a long time, someone took away the results.

Compared to his dissatisfaction, LeBlanc was very open-minded: "It doesn't matter, right? After all, neither you nor I want to see Demacia continue to fight. Maybe at this time, let Swain take over temporarily. , on the contrary, it is a good choice. The change of regime is so normal, you and I have become accustomed to it, so we just need to continue as usual."

"What if this Swain is simpler than you think? He seems to have made a big decision and intends to completely change Noxus."

After Vladimir finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then looked at her with his red eyes, "I'm sorry I won't play your game anymore. In my last life, I put a lot of effort into stabilizing my political power. This time I don’t want to be so tired, so you and I can play our own things.”

As he spoke, he walked past LeBlanc and came to a pool outside the room.

He stretched out a finger to touch the still water. Crimson swirls bloomed from his fingertips and quickly covered the entire shallow pool, turning it into a shriveled mud cake. Vladimir jumped lightly into the mouth of the fountain and fell into it without making any sound or splashing any water.

LeBlanc watched him leave and sighed softly: "Swain is indeed simpler than we thought. Don't forget, the traces of you in the previous life have not been completely erased."

The voice rang in the empty room, and it was unknown whether Vladimir heard her advice.

LeBlanc thought quietly and showed interest.

"The Trifali Council sounds interesting."

Two days passed in succession.

The busy troops coming and going on the streets of the city gradually became less and less.

It seems that everything has returned to the way it was before. Darkwill's death only caused a little splash among the people. Maybe people are still talking about it, but it has already been regarded as history.

They were now used to the city and the new owner's name.

Trifali, Swain.

In fact, the changes in the political power were not small. Because of the Trifali Parliament, many of the original policies were deleted or modified.

Positions at the center of power have also been reshuffled.

The first batch of council members were personally selected by Swain, and they were all of high ability.

Some of the original ministers were assigned to other places, while others were retained. In short, their influence was not small.

Soon, everything will calm down.

Suddenly another piece of breaking news hit me.

That is, General Darius is back!

It was a man with a tall stature, a face as resolute as iron, heavy armor on his side, and a powerful aura.

He led his elite troops all the way into the main city without anyone daring to stop him.

Many people couldn't help but fell into a high degree of tension again.

Darius, a man who has become a legend while still alive.

He has climbed all the way from a small soldier to the hand of Noxus that is now respected by thousands of people. This alone is enough to prove his great strength.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Darius was promoted by Darkwill.

Many people feel that he came back two days late. If he had come back two days earlier, the ending might not be what it is now.

You know, even the title 'Hand of Noxus' was awarded to Darius by Darkwill himself.

Many people feel that Darius will inevitably seek revenge for Darkwill.

There will inevitably be friction between the two legendary generals.

The situation in the main city suddenly became tense, and countless people were waiting for the result.

Who will win?

However, soon, an unexpected news surprised everyone.

Swain disclosed the list of representatives of the Trifali Council, and there were three names.

They are Darius, Katarina, and Swain.

The three will serve as the most vocal representatives of the Parliament and jointly share the power of Noxus.

Many people were stunned. They didn't expect that not only did they not fight, but they also joined forces?

But this result, in the eyes of more people, is a good thing.

After all, the combination of two legendary generals can lead Noxus to a better future.

They also inquired about Catalina and found that she was born in the Dukecao family. She was also the daughter of a legendary general and the current leader of the Assassin Association.

It provided huge help to Swain in overthrowing Darkwill's rule this time.

If it weren't for the assassin she sent, she would have ended Darkwill's dark division, collected intelligence from many sources, and concealed the news.

I'm afraid Swain won't be so relaxed.

With them, although the Trifali Council has just been established, many people can see the atmosphere of prosperity.

At this time, in the newly established Trifali Council Hall.

A group of parliament members have gathered here to discuss together.

Their eyes first fell on Swain in the middle, then looked at Catalina, and finally their eyes slowly moved to the very steady man who was sitting like a mountain.

His face was like steel, with sharp edges and corners, and his eyes were like a calm tiger. A new scar on his left eye made him look even more difficult to mess with.

He is extremely tall, two heads taller than Swain in the middle.

The arms are very thick and the muscles are strong, making people think that he can strangle a bull alive.

This is Darius.

Since the Northern Expedition, there has been very little news about this man. No one thought that he would come back at this juncture.

No one expected that after returning, he and Swain would hug each other.

What some people don’t know is that Swain and Darius are old acquaintances.

They had known each other for a long time and had often exchanged letters. Their political views were particularly similar.

Darius had long respected Swain, and he once felt that Swain was the one he should follow.

They are all people who are willing to sacrifice everything for the Noxus Empire.

Unexpectedly, when he came back this time, Swain not only refused to agree to his following, but instead asked him to join the Trifali Council and become one of the representatives.

In this way, the iron triangle of the Trifari Council was formed.

At this time, Darius spoke: "I propose to establish the Trifari Legion. I will personally lead them. This will be the most loyal and prestigious force in Noxus. They will serve as the judge of Noxus." The sharp blade will eradicate all injustice."

This proposal was quickly approved by the parliament unanimously.

No one doubts whether Darius can do it, and everyone firmly believes that he will succeed.

Right now, there's only one problem left, and that's Demacia.

"I'll go ahead and give me a hundred thousand elite soldiers. Even if we can't repel Demacia, we won't let them continue to advance."

Darius spoke up again at this time.

For some reason, people felt that he had become more stable after going north.

Only Darius himself knows what he has experienced in the cold winter land of the north.

After several life and death experiences, Darius has grown a lot. He knows that there are many powerful enemies in the world and should not be underestimated.

Presumably, the same is true for Demacia, who caused Darkwill to suffer so much this time.

"No, I need you to stay in the Immortal Fortress."

Swain's words came, making Darius slightly startled.

Then he saw Swain stand up and said calmly, "I will go to the border in person and contact the Demacia army. This will be a war destined to be fruitless, so I hope you will support me. Next decision.”

"Noxus will have a long way to go, and there are more serious threats in the distance, so we can't invest more casualties."

Swain's profound eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, a land full of unknowns.

After returning from death, he saw through many secrets in the world.

Because of this, he also vaguely foresees a disaster that may occur in the future.

This disaster will destroy everything, and the battle between Demacia and Noxus will be meaningless.

"No, the parliament has just been established and you are needed to take charge."

"Yes, how can you go to Demacia at this time?"

"It's too dangerous and I don't agree with it."

The members of the parliament stood up one after another and expressed their disagreement.

Darius thought the same thing, but he looked at Swain and knew that this man must have his own ideas.

So, I chose to remain silent.

"I have made up my mind. I must go there in person this time." Swain looked at the people who objected. "If something happens to me on the sideline, the Congress will still have you."

At this moment, Catalina, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly said: "I'll go with you."

Swain looked at her and did not refuse: "Okay."
