[0232] Windfall

In the next few days, Yasuo seemed to be a real explorer, walking around inside and outside the Immortal Fortress, asking for some news about places of interest, as if he was really working hard to complete a travel book.

And with the help of this visit, Yasuo finally had a preliminary impression of Swain's true policy.

From Yasuo's perspective, the Immortal Fortress under Swain's rule is moving towards absolute order very quickly - notices are posted on the streets every three days to announce the newly revised legal provisions; the identity information of outsiders is strictly checked;

Give a green light to things that are good for Noxus; strictly regulate Noxian civilians...

The nobles who once supported thugs and had great influence seemed to disappear overnight, leaving no trace.

Or... completely went underground?

Yasuo has already heard about it, and Swain has roped in Darius and the Pale Lady, and they have joined forces to form the Trifali Council's Big Three - could this be based on Swain cutting off all of LeBlanc's wings?

The premise?

Yasuo tried to find some useful information, but the Immortal Fortress was now heavily guarded, and he had a vague feeling that someone was spying on him. Yasuo could only pretend to be looking around, and even

Did you leave a few strokes in your notes?

There was really little information, and Yasuo was not sure of the current status of Noxus for a while. Then, just when he was doubtful, a "big gift" fell from the sky and fell on him.

……………………

On this day, Yasuo finished his daily stroll and returned to the hotel. The butler who seemed depressed before seemed to take the initiative to find him.

"Guest." The butler's mental state seemed to have improved a lot. He took the initiative to hand a thick notebook into Yasuo's hands, "What do you think of our service? Please leave your evaluation... This is very important to Yasuo."

We matter."

Is this a good review?

Yasuo took the note casually, intending to exchange it with two ordinary compliments - but to his surprise, when he was about to write, the butler reached out and held down the note.

"There's no rush, sir." The butler's eyes seemed to be flashing with a strange light, "You can go back and write slowly, leaving as detailed comments and suggestions as possible..."

There seems to be something going on here!

After returning to the room, Yasuo opened the note and saw a special page of content directly where the bookmark was.

The beautiful and complex Noxian squiggles seem to be flowing with magic - this is a special invitation!

Yasuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

The last time he came to the Immortal Fortress, he had seen this kind of invitation. Everyone who attended the Scarlet Salon at that time would receive this kind of invitation!

It seems... that pale lady's wings have not been completely cut off!

Or maybe Swain is fishing?

After thinking for a moment, Yasuo tore off the invitation. After giving it a five-star review, he returned the notebook to the butler. After the other party discovered that the invitation was missing, he gave Yasuo a hint.

A deep smile.

……………………

According to the time and address on the invitation, Yasuo arrived at a manor on the outskirts of the Immortal Fortress the next evening - just like the resort hotel where he now lives, it is also extremely luxurious.

I just don’t know why, but this manor escaped the Swain purge.

Before entering the manor, Yasuo hid in a big tree outside for a while, and then saw many people entering one after another. Those who came to the party were not only wealthy businessmen from Piltover, but also people who looked very down and out.

An artist, an unknown figure wearing ordinary clothes but with an outstanding temperament. Yasuo even saw some familiar figures among the visitors.

That's right, some of the leaders of socially idle characters that Yasuo met when he last came to the Immortal Fortress also appeared in the battle at the venue.

The arrival of these people surprised Yasuo. After thinking for a moment, he finally took the invitation and entered the manor.

According to the number on the invitation, Yasuo was taken to a seat with partitions on both sides. The table in front of him was opened, and someone immediately served him drinks and snacks.

what is this?

The last time Yasuo came to take a peek, he had never seen any Black Rose salon that offered drinks!

Then, just when Yasuo was confused, a man wearing a formal dress and a serious face stood on the stage in front. After his introduction, Yasuo realized that this was nothing at all.

The private gathering of Black Rose is basically an auction!

As for the contents of the auction... they are all precious antiques and works of art!

As for where these antiques and works of art came from, it is self-evident - after the aristocracy was finished and the aristocratic property was nationalized, those former servants became hotel service staff.

Although they are all service providers, their identities before and after can be said to be completely different. In this case, these service personnel finally united together and held a private auction for state-owned antiques and artworks!

These audacious guys teamed up with counterfeit dealers and came up with a trick to change the situation. They sold the originals and then replaced them with fakes - anyway, they were all placed in resort hotels to gather dust. What difference does it make between the real ones and the fake ones?

?

After figuring out the whole story, Yasuo was very disappointed at first. Although he could get a lot of bargains at this auction, the price of any piece he shipped to Piltover would at least be as high as

He turned it over three times, but the purpose of his trip was not to make money!

But after a moment, Yasuo discovered something surprising - looking at the invitation in his hand, the magic flowing on it was genuine...

Could it be that the spell caster who was previously responsible for creating special invitations for the salon also degenerated into reselling national property with these guys?

Something's wrong!

Yasuo knows very well that Noxus' desire for spellcasters has now reached an almost pathological level. In the Battle of Ionia, the complete destruction of several spellcaster teams has weakened Noxus.

Damn it, a talented spell caster wouldn't come over and make invitations to a bunch of people like this, would he?

Realizing this, Yasuo finally couldn't sit still.

After the auction of the first item ended, and the wealthy businessman from Piltover got off to a good start and obtained an antique stone sculpture, Yasuo excused himself from the auction house as a convenience.
