【0202】 Assassin in Shadow
The guy following Yasuo is a veteran with considerable assassination experience - the opponent has been carefully hiding in the downwind. Even Yasuo, who can summon the spirit of wind, cannot completely target a person through the wind.
What's more, this is a main road, there are a lot of pedestrians around, and the noisy environment completely interferes with Yasuo's judgment.
Even when Yasuo found a chance to stop and rest, he finally confirmed that the person following him... was just one person.
Do you dare to follow me alone?
After discovering this, Yasuo was really surprised - although there were many people in Noxus that Yasuo couldn't afford to offend or beat, no matter who they were, they shouldn't be the ones appearing in special places now.
Levi's.
You shouldn't sneak up behind you and follow you.
Could it be...that this was an assassin sent by Swain because he was unwilling to hand over the information on the east coast of Noxus to him?
It shouldn’t be—if Swain really had this intention, I’m afraid he would have taken action at the Empire Farm long ago, and it wouldn’t be as unnecessary as it is now!
Who is it?
A little curious, Yasuo walked straight ahead at a turning point in front of him, as if he didn't want to take a detour, and ran straight into the forest.
Come, let me see if this sneaky guy will follow me when he arrives.
……………………
Catalina was a little confused.
As the eldest daughter of the Coccao family, she has been looking for traces of her father after Du Cocao disappeared.
Although there were some differences between Catalina and Du Cacao due to differences in ideas, and the relationship between father and daughter was also very stiff, this did not prevent Catalina from finding a way out after Du Cacao disappeared.
The search for him.
After all, Du Kecao not only represents himself, but also represents the entire family.
Even... if Du Couture hadn't been missing after the war, Swain wouldn't have been demoted and transferred. Without the concept of "taking orders in times of crisis," Swain would have been dismissed long ago.
Black Rose can't wait to push to the guillotine!
It can be said that due to the disappearance of Du Cacao, a large part of the responsibility for the defeat in the Battle of Ionia has been shared. In a sense, Du Cacao took some of the blame for Swain.
.
This is not difficult to see, so Catalina was not very anxious before. The old man was an assassin and was used to being elusive. It was not a special thing to temporarily hide his traces and disappear from the world.
But the problem is, now that Noxus is selecting a new generalissimo, why hasn't Du Couture appeared yet?
He has obviously accomplished everything he should do!
Catalina, who always felt that something was wrong, finally left the Immortal Fortress, the ancestral home of the Du Quecao family in the Immortal Fortress. However, for some time before, Du Quecao had been living with his wife Soleana and their youngest daughter Ka.
Together with Theopeia, they live in Uzeris.
Therefore, in order to find out where her father had gone, Katarina left the Immortal Fortress and planned to go to Triwell to ask Swain first, and then go to Uzeris to look for possible clues.
As a result, just outside the city of Trivel, she saw an interesting guy - this guy didn't hide his Ionian dress at all, and he also had a long sword on his waist. The most important thing is that he came directly from
From Swain's office.
Catalina, sensing that this might be a clue, followed quietly.
However, although Catalina performed at her best, judging from the results, she was still discovered...
When Yasuo rushed into the woods first, Katarina was caught in a tangle.
Do you want to follow?
As the saying goes, there is no way to enter the forest. The other party reaches out quickly and clearly has good anti-tracking awareness. It is always dangerous to advance rashly at this time.
But... Katarina has missed many opportunities to take action before. If she doesn't take action now, I'm afraid Yasuo will disappear soon!
Gritting her teeth, Katarina finally made up her mind and rushed into the forest behind Yasuo.
The trees in the Shuoyin Mountains are all ancient trees that have grown for hundreds of thousands of years, but in this rich natural atmosphere, these ancient trees are still in quite good condition.
The tall tree crowns blocked the sun's rays, making the entire deep forest look deep and quiet.
Carefully stepping into the forest, Catalina walked lightly on a piece of dead branches and leaves, relaxing her body as much as possible. If the other party chose to enter the forest, it meant that she might be ambushing her silently, and she didn't want to.
Being directly hit and losing her combat effectiveness, Katarina must ensure absolute concentration!
However, just as Katarina was cautiously moving forward, Yasuo reached out to her under a tree not far away in front of her and said hello.
"Hey, hello!" Yasuo looked harmless and had a rather formulaic smile on his face, "It's been a hard journey along the way - sit down and drink some water!"
At this moment, Catalina's heart was ringing with alarm bells!
Damn...what does this mean?
Although she showed her body freely because she was discovered, Katarina showed no intention of relaxing at all. Yasuo was smiling, but Katarina had seen too many bastards who killed people with smiles...
…
"Don't be nervous, Miss Katarina." Yasuo, who recognized the other party's identity, did not continue to put pressure on Katarina. He just sat there and pretended to be resting, "I don't know where your alertness comes from.
, but I think we may not be enemies——"
Then, just when Yasuo was about to fool Katarina, the other party suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Yasuo before speaking.
"I know who you are."
Do you know who I am?
Am I so famous?
Yasuo looked at Katarina with some surprise. Seeing the determination on her face, Yasuo was also surprised.
If I remember correctly, Katarina should have never appeared on the Ionian battlefield, right?
Since she was not a participant in the Battle of Ionia, how could she know herself?
Could it be that his portrait has reached Noxus?
Or, is she simply lying to me?
"Oh?" Yasuo finally stood up and looked at Katarina, who seemed to be on guard, "Then tell me, who am I?"
"Stop pretending." Faced with Yasuo's question, Katarina pouted, "Mr. Yasuo, I really didn't expect that you would actually appear on the land of Noxus - and it seems that you are still here.
Just left from Empire Farm!"
At this moment, Yasuo finally became serious.
Being recognized has a completely different meaning - no matter what, the transaction with Swain must be kept strictly confidential, and now Katarina has revealed it...
Chapter completed!
