321 -314- Where the hell are you hiding

In the morning, at the Medarda family—

After finishing lunch, Linwin walked to the window, pondering his deal with Swain.

The deal between Linwin and Swain is actually quite simple.

Linwin hopes that Noxus can participate in the Twin Cities Games, and Swain, of course, knows the purpose of the Twin Cities Games and the threat of the Void to the continent of Runeterra.

But now, Swain is more concerned about Noxus.

Noxus is on the brink of collapse, how could Swain have time to save the world with Linwin?

So Swain directly refused, and his reason was also perfect.

Noxus is not under his control now. If Linwin wants Noxus to act as a peaceful nation and sign agreements not to invade other countries during the Twin Cities Games, he should go talk to Darkwill, and see if he would agree under the control of LeBlanc.

So Linwin could only ask Swain what his plan was to kill Darkwill.

This topic was not very pleasant, but the two of them understood each other very well.

"At least a year and a half from now," Swain said at the time.

With LeBlanc present, Swain couldn't do much. Now, between him and LeBlanc, the only advantage Swain had was that he was in the shadows, while LeBlanc....oh she's also in the shadow...

But anyway, everyone thinks Swain had already lost, including LeBlanc.

And this is also one of the reasons why Swain decisively chose to take action when Linwin revealed his abilities.

LeBlanc's people, investigating him, leader of the Twin Cities.

With all these combined, it's hard not to suspect that he was targeted.

Swain knew that his current situation was all planned by LeBlanc, all because he had killed someone from the Black Rose, his parents.

So Linwin made a deal with Swain.

He would help Swain find LeBlanc, Swain didn't believe it at first, but after Linwin repeated it several times, Swain began to consider the feasibility of this matter.

If Linwin tangled with LeBlanc, Swain would have to speed up his own pace.

He had to lead his followers to change the regime before the Twin Cities Games.

After everything succeeded, Noxus would have to participate in the Twin Cities Games and participate as a peaceful nation.

Therefore, during this period, Noxus could not expand or aggress.

And Swain agreed.

Firstly, Noxus had numerous talents, and winning the Twin Cities Games would be a great thing for the current Noxus.

Secondly, it was even simpler because Swain originally had such an idea.

If Noxus was really under Swain's control, then the first thing Swain would do would be to recall all the expeditionary forces and end Darkwill's inevitably failed war.

Then, there were many other things he had to do.

Linwin recalled the events of the previous night and stretched lazily in front of the window.

His body had almost fully recovered.

"My head hurts, where do I even start to find LeBlanc?"

Linwin muttered.

Finding LeBlanc was difficult, but recognizing LeBlanc was a small matter for Linwin.

With the system in place, as long as LeBlanc appeared around him, Linwin could immediately indentify her.

Mirrors, illusions? This set of tricks doesn't work on Linwin at all!

But.... How do even find her?

Noxus is so big!

This is not the Twin Cities!

Noxus's territory is more than hundreds or even thousands of Twin Cities combined!

Just as Linwin was thinking, a black raven had somehow already stood on his windowsill.

"."

"Swain?"

Linwin tentatively called out.

"You're more leisurely than I thought, Lorant"

The raven stared at Linwin with its double eyes, clearly not opening its mouth, but Linwin heard Swain's voice.

It was like it sounded directly in his mind.

"Leisurely? What do you mean? I'm now thinking about where LeBlanc might appear."

"."

"Don't be silent, I'm not joking. As long as LeBlanc appears around me, I can recognize her even if she's already disguised."

"Then she might appear in these three places now."

Swain's tone remained unchanged, still calmly speaking, "At the mansion of a certain baron in the outskirts, among the royal family in the northern Delverhold, and in the port city of Basilich."

"You can go to these three places and see if you can find her."

"Are you sure she'll appear outside the Immortal Bastion? She's not in the capital?" Linwin asked in surprise.

LeBlanc wasn't in the Immortal Bastion, but outside it?

"I can't be sure, but compared to blindly searching, you don't have a choice now, do you? Lorant."

The raven flew up high and faced Linwin:

"I'm just giving you options, whether to go or not is up to you, but if you can't find LeBlanc, then I won't start my plan either."

"You said a certain baron, what's his name? Tell me his name," Linwin immediately said.

"A certain?" This time Swain's voice sounded mocking.

"I've said it before, every person in Noxus could be the Pale Lady, have you forgotten, Lorant? And, you'll need this."

With that, the giant raven "cawed" and spread its wings, flying into the sky, leaving behind a dossier where it had stood.

Linwin looked at the raven's figure and felt an impulse to catch it, pluck its feathers, and roast it!

Swain's information should be reliable, but the problem is, isn't this range too large?

Not to mention that every baron's mansion in the Immortal Bastion might be hiding LeBlanc, but the royal family in Delverhold?

Delverhold seems to be near Freljord on the map, right? And the port city of Besilich, Linwin is familiar with this place.

The birthplace and upbringing of Draven and Darius!

But the problem is, this place is in the east-west direction of Noxus, and Besilich is even close to the Twin Cities!

But anyway, Linwin set off.

First, he said to Jagu that he wouldn't be back for a while, and he just nodded.

Walking out of the estate, Linwin put on a mask, wore a cloak, and then took out the dossier left by Swain.

Opened it up.

Hmm. Alright, great.

On the dossier were the places where Swain thought LeBlanc might appear.

Raum's ability allowed Swain to gain a lot of knowledge and gather a lot of information.

This raven that can absorb souls and collect secrets. In a way, Swain had the ability to find LeBlanc as long as he kept looking like this.

But now, Linwin was here, so after thinking about it, Swain gave this task to Linwin.

If successful, Swain could accelerate his plan.

If failed, it was also Linwin's own business, offending Pale Lady was also Linwin's business.

Therefore, on this dossier, there were some recent deaths that were very strange, or people whose behavior had changed.

Swain had been paying attention to these key points, and now, he had recorded all the doubts he had collected during this time and gave them to Linwin.

"Alright, let's go."

Linwin sighed and put the dossier into his spacetime ring.

"Anyway, I've done this kind of thing before."

----------------------------------------------

Three days later—

Outside the Immortal Bastion in Noxus, Linwin, with his mask removed, revealed his chin. He opened the dossier with both hands, then reached out and took the pen from his mouth, and then, Linwin crossed out a name.

No, this was the last name on the first page.

Linwin's efficiency was, of course, very fast. He had done a lot of this kind of espionage work back in Zaun.

But.

No, on the dossier Swain gave him, Linwin had already searched through all the baron's mansions in Noxus, but Linwin hadn't found any trace.

So.

"LeBlanc, you're not even in the Immortal Bastion, where the hell are you hiding?"
