Lone Wolf of the Freljord

Lothar sighed: "Katrina, can you help them?"

Quinn looked at Lothar unexpectedly. She didn't expect the boy to take the initiative to speak for them.

"Why?" Katarina asked.

"Because... have we all slept together?"

Lothar felt two deterrent gazes at the same time, and hurriedly retracted his neck.

Katerina glared at Lothar fiercely and tapped the sofa with her fingers: "If they really just pass by, let me help them. I can let them live here temporarily. It's safe here."

There was a hint of joy on Quinn's face.

"But." Katerina changed her words, "I have conditions."

Lothar frowned slightly, because Katarina said those words not to Quinn, but to him.

"You were given a blade martial arts after you came to the imperial capital." Katarina stared at Lothar, "It means that there is a task for you to complete, right?"

Lothar was speechless, this young female assassin was not only strong, but also had amazing intuition and reasoning.

Seeing that Lothar didn't speak, Katerina believed her own inference even more: "Is that mission a mission that deserves a lot of credit?"

"Can I get credit for murdering the emperor?" Luo An remained silent.

Katerina has already made up her mind that Lothar must have a heavy responsibility.

"Why did my father choose this guy instead of me... Because of immortality..." Katerina felt a little bitterness and resentment in her heart, but she didn't show it.

Katarina suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and said, "My condition is that I will also join this mission."

The air froze for a moment.

Quinn, who was an outsider, also felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"This... I can't be the master." Lothar was uncertain about this matter.

"Of course I know you can't be the master." Katarina pinched her knuckles uneasily. "I just want to help you complete this task together. You don't even need to tell your boss."

"But…"

Katerina continued to persuade: "I don't want anything in return, I can help you a lot with my resources in the imperial capital."

Lothar narrowed her eyes and thought, "Why does she want to join so much..."

An idea suddenly appeared in Lothar's mind.

In the end, his purpose was to get from Swain a way to control his own magic, and it didn't matter to Lothar who Noxus was emperor.

But the deal between Swain and Lothar is unilateral. If Swain unilaterally breaks the contract after it happens, Lothar has nothing to do.

He needed a safety net, a knife that might cut through the puppet string Swain was hanging from him.

As long as you give Katarina fairly limited information, you might be able to get her to accomplish this for herself.

Seeing that Losa didn't speak for a while, Katerina gritted her teeth and continued to add more: "If you agree, I can forget what happened last night."

Lothar raised his brows and said tentatively, "Then... can you do it again?"

Dead silence.

Even Quinn opened his mouth wide, marveling at Lothar's brazenness.

Katarina clenched her teeth tightly, controlling the urge to stab the **** to death by throwing the flying knife.

"It's like... just like being bitten by a mosquito... Anyway, I've done it once..." Katarina struggled inwardly.

After a long time, Katarina put down her shoulders, as if giving up, and said, "If it's just one time... OK."

This time it was Lothar's turn to be surprised. Katerina's character was a little unpredictable to him. Why would she pay such a price to join a mission?

"Just kidding." Lothar tested the bottom line and accepted it, he didn't want Katerina to really hate him, "You can work with me for a while, if you really have the ability to help me , I can let you join my mission."

Katerina was obviously happy, and hurriedly shook hands with him as if afraid of Lothar's remorse.

The stone in Quinn's heart was also put down. Not only is it safe to live here with Katerina, but Madame Lestara doesn't have to suffer anymore.

But there are still some doubts in Quinn's mind that have not been answered.

"Luo Ji." Although Quinn didn't want to talk about it, she had to know the truth, "Do you remember last night... what happened last night?"

Lothar released Katerina's hand: "I don't remember it clearly, I just remember... It's very comfortable."

Quinn's face flushed, and she lowered her head and picked up something from her hand, the wine bottle she had brought over: "Do you know this?"

Of course Lothar knew: "I got the wine from an acquaintance."

"what acquaintance"

"Why are you asking this?"

Quinn was a little hard to say, but he still said: "Last night, it was because I smeared the contents of this bottle of wine on the wound that I couldn't control myself, and you..."

Lothar understood, he took the bottle and looked at Katerina: "You too"

Katerina sneered: "I didn't touch that bottle of wine, I was forcibly pressed by you."

"That must not be a good experience..." Lothar said apologetically to Katerina in her heart, and then looked carefully at the wine bottle in her hand.

It was indeed the bottle he had taken from Elise's house.

"It was found by Valor," Quinn explained. "It was found with the fragments of your body."

"So... wait!" Lothar's eyes widened, "My what?"

"Shards of your corpse." Quinn felt incredible when he said this. "It took Valor and I a few days to put you together from pieces."

This time, not only Lothar, but also Katarina.

"You mean..." Lothar tried her best to remember, but couldn't remember anything.

"Well..." Quinn said with certainty, "You were killed by someone and then dismembered."

——————————————————

Many peoples and cultures have no tolerance for dismemberment, and in some areas the crime of dismemberment is even more serious than murder and arson.

The reason is that many people believe that only if the corpse remains intact can the Lamb in Kindred find those who can die peacefully. In a country like Noxus, which worships the wolf spirits in Kindred, there is no such taboo, because they will be bitten to pieces by the wolf spirits anyway.

Chapter 154 Troubled Woman

Lothuan sat in the arena's lounge.

Katerina came over and sat beside him: "I didn't expect you to be really a liquidator."

"It's just part of the plan."

"What is your mission objective?"

"As I said, I'll let you know when I'm sure I need your help."

Katarina let out a "tsk", folded her hands in front of her chest and turned her head away, staring dully at the ongoing fight off the court.

Lothar took a sip of hot tea while admiring Katerina's beauty.

Although this girl has a bad temper, her appearance is really eye-catching, and she only wears a rather bold bra and leather pants, so she is comfortable no matter what.

After realizing Lothar's unbridled gaze on her, Katerina glared at him fiercely: "Don't want the eyeballs?"

"How can you talk to your partner like this." Lothar put down the teacup, "Are Quinn and the others living with you?"

"As long as they stay honest, they'll be fine."

"Yeah." As long as Katerina doesn't react to the water, Quinn and Lestara shouldn't need Lothar for the time being. "I asked you to check the bottle of wine. Did you find it?"

Katerina's expression became very strange: "I asked the alchemist I know to analyze it, and there is indeed a large amount of strong aphrodisiac in that bottle of wine. The ingredients are very strong, and a few drops of it are enough to make people lose their minds."

"Sure enough..." Lothar cursed inwardly, "That mother-in-law Elise actually gave me an aphrodisiac..."

Lothar had already drank many bottles of that wine at Elise's house, and the reason Lothar felt comfortable at that time should be that the dry heat caused by the strong aphrodisiac offset part of the coldness of the body.

Later, in order to escape from the blood flood of unknown origin, Koloza was forced to use the True Ice Magic. The loss of a large amount of magical power caused the medicinal properties accumulated in his body to burst out for a while, and it also caused him to be unable to resist. When he arrived, he was killed by the nobleman who was jealous of him.

"You said you got it from an acquaintance." Katerina asked with interest. "Some acquaintance will give you a bottle of aphrodisiac."

"Just a slut." Lothar originally wanted to join the Zaafan family, but God knows what she would do to herself with Elise, a crazy woman. Although it may take some time, Lothar is determined to find other nobles to join.

"Slut" Katarina pinched her knuckles in dissatisfaction, disgusting Lothar's behavior of selling out.

"Have you found any clues about the person who dismembered me?" Lothar continued to ask.

Katerina suddenly became interested: "You don't need to check at all, I know what this is."

"Say."

"Guess why, after your murderer dismembered you, he didn't choose to cremate you or feed the birds, but carefully wrapped it in a cloth bag and threw it in the old town?"

"Don't cheat with me, say."

"Come on, are you allowed to sell me?" Katarina rarely showed a charming side, with a wicked smile on her face.

"Forget it, I can check it myself." Lothar was not threatened by Katerina.

"It's boring." Katerina kicked Lothar's calf to vent her anger, "Do you know the Yalong dog?"

"Is it the big dogs that nobles like to keep?" Lothar often sees these beasts. It is said that they are ferocious and vicious dogs that took a long time to domesticate Noxus since the founding of the country.

"Not only the nobles, but the army and guards also like to use Yalong dogs as military dogs." Katerina explained, "The Yalong dog has a very smart nose, and the Imperial City Law Enforcement Guard has always relied on the ability of the Yalong dog to solve cases, even if It's the corpse that's been burnt to scum and these dogs can smell it."

"You mean to say..."

"That's right." Katerina took out a cloth bag, "These cloth bags are very expensive, they are soaked in special liquid, and the contents inside will not leak no matter how strong the smell is. If the assassins in the Imperial City take over the job It's illegal, so you'll buy this kind of bag to hold the body. But because of the high price of this kind of bag, usually only big business will be willing to use it."

"Then why should it be thrown into the old city? I remember that there is a large melting furnace in the underground area, right?"

"Are you talking about the furnace under the Immortal Citadel? It's a military location, and no one can even get close to it except for the big families who have funded the army." Katarina knew that Lothar had come to Noxus not long ago. , it is impossible to know everything, so it is very detailed, "The old city is a zone of no concern, and the law enforcement guards don't even want to go. In other words, you have to thank the bird that Quinn raised, if it hadn't found you. , you probably can only sleep in the old city forever."

"I know." Lothar couldn't help feeling grateful to Quinn and Valor, "I will repay."

Katerina put her hands behind her head: "Do you want to continue the investigation of the person who dismembered you? Didn't you say you know who the real murderer is?"

Lothar smiled lightly: "I know who the guy who killed me is, but it's not good for me to kill him like this. Find the evidence that he killed me, and use this to coerce him to make the most of him."

Katerina was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lothar to be so calm, maybe that's why his father chose him

"After using it? Forgive him"

"I'm not a saint, so of course I want him to pay the price." Lothar took a sip of tea calmly.

Katarina showed a bloodthirsty smile. She began to feel that it was the right decision to cooperate with Lothar. An ally who was decisive in killing and who knew what to do was always reassuring.

"Okay, I will continue to look for evidence, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result." Katerina also wanted to prove her ability to Lothar, "I want to see when your duel starts today."

"Wait one more time." As soon as Lothar finished speaking, the door lock of the lounge made a "click" sound.

Lothar and Katarina's faces sank at the same time. When they came, they told the manager that no one would be allowed to enter their room without permission. Who is so bold?

The door was pushed open, and a familiar scent blew on Lothar's face, and a beautiful young woman with a young and delicate appearance like a twenty-eight girl walked in.

Elise did not wear a veil today, the beautiful girl's face was no longer the quiet smile of the past, but a deep worry.

"Luo Ji!" Elise didn't give Lothar time to react, Pear Blossom threw herself into Lothar's arms with rain, buried her face in his chest and sobbed, "I'm so worried, I haven't heard from you for a few days! "

Elise's soft body is in her arms, but Lothar has no obscene thoughts in her heart: "This woman is really good at acting, and those who don't know it think she is my wife."

Katarina frowned and met Lothar's gaze.

"Who is she?" Katerina said with her lips.

Lothar also silently uttered a word: "Wine."

Katarina understood.

Elise raised her head with tears in her eyes, and kissed Lothar's neck pitifully: "Why didn't you come to see me for so many days, why did you leave alone that night?"

Lothar didn't answer Elise's pile of questions, but made a secret gesture towards Katarina.

Katerina rolled her eyes, then coughed softly: "This lady, what are you doing?"

Elise turned her head and saw a red-haired girl in scantily clad clothes, with a look of anger on her face, and said softly, "Luoji, you really are, if you want to do it, come to me, why don't you go? These cheap prostitutes are dirty."

Lothar clearly saw a vein bursting out of Katerina's forehead.

"Stinky bitch, who are you calling a prostitute?" Katerina had a bad temper, so she scolded directly.

Elise looked at Katarina suspiciously, seeing that the girl didn't have aristocratic costumes, how dared to scold her: "You are..."
