Page 284 [The Hidden Man in the Dark Night]
"Then, I wish you a good dream."
Vladimir stood on the steps and bowed to Svein, who was walking away with a cane to the door. After half a day of practice, his demeanor was gone.
It seemed that he had returned to his status as a nobleman back then. He had just attended a gorgeous dance and the host enthusiastically sent him to the door.
In fact, everyone knows the truth.
"You are also dreaming, dear Vladimir, I still expect you to help me win a few more beautiful matches like today." Svein stood in a place where the light could not be shining, and the crow on his shoulder whispered softly in the darkness, as if telling some unknown code words.
This is a night when the wind is about to blow. All the people who will be affected by the wind hide themselves in the darkness, wrapped tightly. Outsiders cannot know what role they each play.
Or, even they themselves don’t know what role they play.
After leaving the luxurious residence of Svein, Vladimir did not return directly to the residence belonging to the Noxus delegation.
He walked on the path of the War Academy with shadows. As he walked, his figure began to float, and eventually he disappeared into the endless night.

"You mean, he's Alcato?"
dark.
Endless darkness.
This is an unknown place, and the darkness seems to be left with darkness.
In the darkness, someone was talking.
That's the first sentence.
The first person.
"It's not wrong. I felt from him that the original taste of Alcato is very pure." The second person. The second sentence.
"What did he say to you?"
“He said he had a plan.”
"He didn't ask, where is the other person?"
"Another person? He didn't ask."
“What plan.”
"Well, he said, they are ready to take action on the Council and ask if we are interested."
"us?"
"Yes. What's wrong with us?"
"Nothing, who are they?"
"He didn't say it specifically, but I think it should include Sviin."
"I get it, you go down."
"……you."
"What am I?"
...
The darkness became silent.
No one talks anymore.
After a while.
"He probably has discovered us." The first voice sounded again.
"But he didn't know that we had discovered him long ago." The second voice, but it was different from the previous voice, so it should be called the third voice, the third person.
"So this is a test."
"That idiot who only sucks blood obviously exposed us."
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's just a matter of time, but his plan..."
"I really didn't expect that those city-states that have been soft all of a sudden became bolder."
"As a person, when he is forced to do something overestimated, he will always do something that he can do, so mortals are weak."
"Your evaluation is overestimating your ability?"
"Although we also want to deal with the damn betrayers, there is no need to cooperate with these mortals, and we are not just in the wrong cannon fodder, test them?"
"Is this little cannon fodder enough?"
"Isn't it enough? Then add. That poor kid named Ezeril, let's watch a fireworks to your heart's content."
The last sentence he sighed like a poem.
—————————————————————————————
Chen Senran drank the tenth glass of wine tonight, but was still not drunk.
"Cry--"
"Bang--"
He heard the door open and closed, and he knew it was Svein who was back.
He also knew that Svein came in from outside and sat opposite him.
"Come on, it's really good wine." Chen Senran began to pour himself the eleventh glass of wine again, and he was still continuing to take the exam for a long time.
He thought, now Vladimir had seen his master.
Those two terrifying men in black robes who had been hunting him down to heaven and earth, who had nowhere to escape.
The two invaders coming from the void.
There is one guy who knocked him down the sea with his own hands. It's really an unparalleled power.
They are really here.
Combined with the news Jax received, and Vlakirmi's speech that was simply unprepared.
He knew that the two guys were coming.
Moreover, they recognized themselves and must have planned the last assassination of Anne.
Now, Ezreal, who has betrayed the parliament, is theirs.
Thousands of threads are penetrated.
Finally, an incredible answer was found.
"How is it? Is there any progress tonight?" Svein stretched out his body and poured himself a glass of bloody red wine as Chen Senran said.
But instead of drinking, he lifted it up and placed it on his shoulders, feeding his crow patiently.
It's strange that his crow always tweets unconsciously, but it remains absolutely quiet in front of two people.
The first of them was the dead General Burnham.
The second one is, the newly added, Chen Senran, probably, the decisive battle in the heavy rain scared it.
The crow slowly sucked the red wine in the goblet, carefully keeping it from making too loud eating sounds. From time to time, he even raised his head and secretly looked at Chen Senran's face.
But Chen Senran had no face. His face was hidden behind the candlelight and silver mask, leaving only a slight reflection of the flash.
"No." Chen Senran shook his head slowly, his voice calmly without any adulteration.
"...Is that?" Svein paused for a moment, nodded with a smile, as if he really believed Chen Senran's words.
The dark room is silent.
Only the silence of the crow's slightly drinking sound was left.
Chen Senran once again silently poured the wine in the glass into his throat.
Although he is already an ally with Svein, he will not tell him some things.
In particular, this thing has something to do about your final layout.
In fact, Strictly speaking, Sviin is just a part of it.
A glass of wine passes through the throat, slides into the internal organs, and flows continuously in the stomach.
Chen Senran took a long breath.
At this time, the other party should have made a decision.
They should have thought that they had seen through them.
But for the particularity of their current identity and the consistency of their ultimate purpose.
They will definitely be happy to participate in their plans.
However, they should not invest their strength so that they expose themselves too early.
Then, the best candidate.
It's only Ezreal.
An Ezreal.
Enough. (To be continued...)
