The so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff - this is the case with the Darkwell family.

The political legacy of the Noxian leader family is not just talk, although Noxus is not personal, but Noxians are interested.

Darkwell has been in power for many years, and has long formed a relatively tight network of relationships up and down Noxus - although a large part of this network is related to Black Roses, there are also many of Darkwell's own land.

Again, Bron-Darkwell isn't stupid.

The Battle of Ionia is his use of war to eliminate the opposition, and the Darkwell Intelligence Station is a manifestation of his attempt to break away from the Black Rose.

It's a pity that what Brond Darkwell didn't realize was that under the influence of LeBlanc and Vladimir, he had gradually turned his basic plate into a Noxian old patriarchal aristocracy.

And among these patriarchs and nobles, the power of Black Rose is obviously greater than that of Darkwell.

So in the end, Darkwell, who was abandoned by the Black Rose, could only fail.

But as Bron's Darkwell's private intelligence system, the Darkwell Intelligence Station was inherited by Fuya and Jenn.

Black Rose doesn't eat white rice either, and in areas like the Immortal Fortress, the Darkwell Intelligence Station has long been cleared out - but in a place like Fort Digwo, where the Emperor is far away, Black Rose obviously doesn't stretch out her tentacles.

(Of course, it's also possible that LeBlanc's strategy was to advance step by step, but it ......was interrupted by Svein's sudden bloodbath of the Immortal Fortress.)

In short, at Fort Digwag, Rhodes was given a "basically trustworthy" source of intelligence.

According to the diagram given by Fuya, Rhodes quickly found the intelligence station.

[Reeves' Black Iron Center] - Rhodes looked up and reconfirmed the signboard.

It's no wonder that Rhodes was surprised, it's because this intelligence station is too conspicuous - this is not "an inconspicuous shop in a remote alley" as everyone usually knows, but a huge and complete black iron processing center!

Rhodes really didn't expect that the Darkwell Intelligence Station would be established in such a place!

You know, if it weren't for Rod himself, he would have come from Zaun, and his first reaction after seeing this [Reeves's Black Iron Center] might have been, "This is a shop opened by Zaun \\ Picheng people, right?" ”

The whole store not only covers a large area, but also different from other stores, this store seems to be the kind of assembly line production, and the degree of mechanization is extremely high, no matter how you look at it, it is seriously incompatible with the style of Noxus!

Along the way, Rhodes also saw many blacksmith shops specializing in black iron, but it was the first one with such an industrial atmosphere!

Seeing that this [Reeves's Black Iron Center] was full of people coming and going, and it seemed that business was booming, Rod could only sigh with emotion, "People can't be good-looking", and then pulled Anne into the door.

(At this point, Jana is habitually standing on Rod's shoulder.) ）

There were a lot of people in the Black Iron Center in Reeves, but there was never one who pulled a child - the young man who wanted to introduce the product obviously didn't have this kind of experience, so he looked a little flustered when facing Annie.

This young man knows all the black iron products well, and he is the sales champion of the entire store - but when facing a little Lori, these are useless, so after saying hello, he looked at Rod with some embarrassment.

"Uh, this gentleman, we deal in all kinds of black iron products and also accept processing orders for special black iron, but ...... If the quantity is too small, there is an additional charge for opening the mold separately. ”

The tone is very euphemistic - in his opinion, the biggest possibility of bringing a child is to process some toys alone, right?

(The properties of Noxus black iron are very special, except when the ore is smelted and forged, once the black iron forging is completed, it is difficult to process it again, so the blacksmith shops in Fort Dig will bloom everywhere.) ）

As for why black iron toys are processed...... Who knows why?!

The price of black iron is high, but the gentleman in front of him is obviously the caster—what kind of black iron toy can be made for the caster?

Rod understood what the young man meant, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It seems that he took Anne to cause him some misunderstanding!

The conscience of heaven and earth, I took Anne with me just because I didn't feel at ease by leaving her alone, and it had nothing to do with toys or anything!

"No, no, no, it's not something that opens a mold alone." Looking at the young man in front of him who was a little at a loss, Rod laughed, "There is a big order, I'm afraid I need to talk to your master craftsman." ”

As he spoke, Rod took out the proof provided by Fuya.

On the surface, it looks like an appointment, but in fact it is Darkwell's badge.

The young man in front of him obviously didn't see the second meaning—after confirming the authenticity of the appointment, he led Rod and Anne into the back room.

As she walked through the forge workshop, Anne was intrigued by the red forge - the flames here were different from her own and Rod's!

And the young man who led the way clearly misunderstood what Anne meant.

"Little sister, the flames are very dangerous, the temperature in these forges is very high, you must not touch it, otherwise it will be burned......"

Just as he tried to preach, Anne pursed her lips disdainfully—she held Tiebs in her arms in her right hand, and the five fingers of her left hand were spread out, and the next moment, a small fireball was suspended in her palm.

This crimson fireball was quietly suspended in Anne's palm, obviously not big, but it made the product introducer's heart tremble, and he instinctively felt terror.

"Annie." Rod waved his hand and dispersed the small fireball in Annie's hand, "Your current flame control ability is not enough, do you remember the principle of flame cross-linkage that I told you the day before yesterday?" Your flames can easily cross-connect with the forges here, which can be dangerous! ”

“……”

Anne's face showed an aggrieved look.

Rod shook his head helplessly, then crouched down.

"I know you're interested in this kind of flame, but the forged flame is not so simple - the one who holds the forged flame is a truly powerful being, and even I can't match it for the time being, so if you are really interested, then what you should do is not to feel it rashly now, but to study it carefully after you have made yourself strong enough."

"It's never a mistake for a mage to be curious—but it's okay to make a rash attempt out of curiosity, you know?"
