Arcane: Champion Witness System

"Oh! So you're asking who I am?" "That's a good question, my friend!" He stood before her, spat out the yellow sand from his mouth, raised both hands shoulder-high, and proudly proclaimed, "I am a big shot in Zaun's Undercity, the ninth councilor of Piltover. I am the honored hero of Bilgewater." "What have I done?" "I once set fire to the Petricite Grove in Demacia and competed in height with the Yordles in Bandle City." "..." Standing in front of her, he spoke confidently. "And now, I've encountered you in the swirling sands of Shurima." "Alright, lady, I've said my piece. Could you please put away your weapon now?" ////This is a translation, I do not own this story or any character in it.

-310- The LeBlanc that nobody knew

"Calm down? Mr. Lorant, I am perfectly calm right now," Swain said.

"You can just call me Linwin," Linwin raised his hands in a surrendering gesture with a smile. "I just said so."

Linwin wasn't nervous at all.

While Noxus would become the most powerful nation in Valoran's future, it was interesting that although Noxus had significant national power, its top-level strength was rather awkward.

Swain and LeBlanc, oh, even Kled could be considered as Noxus' strongest forces on the surface.

But what about the hidden combat power, like Mordekaiser? Mordekaiser's strength must be formidable, at least in the demi-god tier, right?

But the problem was, if Mordekaiser came out, his first target would be LeBlanc and Swain.

Swain was undoubtedly in opposition to Mordekaiser.

So Linwin wasn't worried. If a fight broke out, Linwin could run away, and no one in Noxus could stop him now.

And Linwin didn't believe he couldn't beat Swain. Even in his prime, Swain, who had controlled the power of demons, didn't seem to have the strength of a demi-god.

The demon controlled by Swain was not meant for fighting but for support!

"I think our relationship isn't that good yet," Swain shook his head. He continued, "And as I said, I am very calm now."

Swain picked up his cup again and took a sip of tea. Then he spoke again, "So, I'll ask again, Mr. Lorant, what do you know?"

"Swain, I know a lot, and I believe what I know may not be less than what you know," Linwin said truthfully.

In these six days, Linwin had already investigated thoroughly.

Swain had successfully obtained the power of the Omniscient Demon, but he had not completely controlled the demon named Raum.

So, Swain's knowledge now should be less than his?

But this was just Linwin's speculation.

And even though it was claimed to be an Omniscient Demon, its actual abilities weren't as grand as they seemed.

Swain stared at Linwin's eyes for a long time.

Linwin didn't back down, maintaining a shallow smile while facing Swain.

Until Swain's mouth twitched with a strange smile, he shook his head.

"It's strange, Lorant. You haven't approached the depths of the fortress these past few days. You've been to many places, even delving into the depths of Ironspike Mountains. But you haven't come near Darkwill, nor have you approached me. So, how did you know about this?"

Listening to Swain's words, Linwin's hands pressed against his thighs.

Swain. He's admitting it directly!

He admits he's gained that power.

Linwin had a headache. He hadn't expected Swain to admit it directly. After all, this was the foundation of Swain's usurpation.

He thought he would continue to argue with Swain.

"You... you just said it like that?"

"Now that you know, I don't see a reason to hide it from you."

Swain straightened his back, and a black-red flame ignited at his severed arm. He looked down at Linwin from a high vantage point. "Tell me, Lorant, what's your relationship with LeBlanc?"

Linwin: "..."

Oh so he thought I was working for LeBlanc?

"I swear." Linwin immediately extended four fingers and said to Swain, "I really have no connection with LeBlanc. This is my first time in Noxus, and I haven't even met her."

"When you deceived the girl named Kai'Sa, you also extended four fingers."

Swain clasped his left hand. His left arm had already grown back, a phantom made of magical energy.

But it was more like a claw than a hand---

A bird's claw.

"You think I would fall for that?" Swain asked.

"Alright, alright...." Linwin hurriedly said, "Since you've already gained Raum's power, you should know that there's no connection between me and LeBlanc."

"Raum," Swain repeated.

He... even know its name?

Swain's face remained unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He couldn't understand, couldn't understand at all.

How did he know? Why does he know?

In Raum's memory, an existence like Raum, there was only one, the only demon who knows everything.

Could there be an existence higher than Raum?

"I can't see through you," Swain shook his head, "You seem to have appeared in this world suddenly, just like those creatures."

Linwin felt a bit embarrassed.

I did suddenly appear in this world!

"But perhaps, as you said, I didn't see you meeting LeBlanc," Swain lowered his head.

Linwin breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Swain suddenly raised his head again, coldly saying, "But Lorant, LeBlanc could be anyone."

Swain said, and his left hand grew larger and more twisted. His fingertips elongated and twisted, and several twisted, fiery red energies turned into whips, dancing.

The lamp in the room swayed with the wind, and Swain's shadow flickered with the firelight, stretching longer and longer.

The shadow cast on the wall resembled a crow spreading its wings.

It was intimidating.

However, Linwin continued to smirk.

This guy, Swain, had a formidable presence. Someone like Silco should be the one to talk to him; Silco wouldn't be intimidated by Swain's presence.

Linwin wanted to meet Swain, of course, to have a good conversation with the future ruler of Noxus.

But how could he talk when Swain might suddenly turn hostile?

This was unexpected for Linwin because Swain wasn't that kind of person.

When necessary, Swain could sit down and have a discussion with LeBlanc, who had targeted him and nearly led Noxus to ruin.

Inviting enemies to govern Noxus together showed that Swain was absolutely rational.

He always prioritized the greater good and was willing to sacrifice himself when needed.

In some ways, Swain was similar to Silco, but he was smarter and more rational. He was so rational to the point of lacking any humanity.

The shadow on the wall, like a crow with spread wings, was intimidating. However, Linwin continued to smirk. Swain's presence was overpowering.

Linwin's mind raced, wondering what he said wrong to trigger Swain's hostility. Then Swain spoke up.

"And, Lorant, haven't you noticed something?"

"What?" Linwin looked up at Swain.

"Mr. Lorant, for centuries, no one has known the true face of the Pale Lady." Accompanied by a low growl, Swain's demonic power turned into lightning as he reached for Linwin.

In an instant, tiny bolts of lightning shot towards Linwin.

"Buzz!"

Green light flashed, and Linwin stared in astonishment at Swain.

He had been tricked!

Indeed, for centuries, no one knew what the name LeBlanc represented. But Linwin not only knew but also answered Swain's question!

Even Riot Games deliberately removed the name LeBlanc!

The Black Rose only knew the Pale Lady; LeBlanc? Who was that?

"Wait, let me explain!"

"Swain, you don't want be exposed at this point of time, do you?"

"If you know me then you should know my power; you won't be able to suppress me. On the contrary, you might end up dead by my hand."

Linwin raised his hand and made a few gestures.

Green magical energy formed a square barrier, filling the hall.

"I just want to talk to you."

"I swear in the name of Janna."

"I know LeBlanc, but I have no connection with her."

Linwin blinked, raising his hand. "Please believe me."
