The founders of the Black Rose were remnants of an ancient society who served the iron-blooded warlord Tharn Uzul hundreds of years before the founding of Noxus, until he became Mordekaiser.
Few people know the leader of the Black Rose, even those within the Black Rose organization.
The most common story is that after the Rune Wars, a pale witch guided the Noxian barbarian tribe into the Immortal Citadel and later founded Noxus.
Li Lin knew LeBlanc quite well, but because this girl was too mysterious and had countless magical incarnations, even she herself might not know who she really was.
Ever since the last representative of the Trifarix Council, the "Cunning" Faceless Man who defected to the Pale Lady, was eliminated by Swain and then replaced by Du Kekao, they have been plotting how to overthrow the Black Rose.
Derivin is obsessed with the false reputation of the Reckoner Arena. He came here today purely because of Swain and his brother Darius, who are close to him. His strength is not weak, but he can only be regarded as a filler.
Leto and Meera are two of Swain's most trusted subordinates. Although they also don't know much about the Pale Lady, they are wary of and hostile to the Black Rose.
More than a year ago, when they were suppressing the rebellion in Rocklund Plain, they were almost killed by their fellow generals who were instructed by the Black Rose. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief exposed the other party's conspiracy in time.
The existence of the Black Rose threatens the stability of Noxus, not to mention that LeBlanc herself is a "traitor" who has pushed Runeterra to the brink of war many times.
The conflict between Noxus and Demacia was orchestrated by the Pale Lady, especially Eldred of the Crownguard, who made a deal with a trickster clone of LeBlanc.
During Eldred's reign, dangerous wizards who should have been castrated and exiled to foreign slums were secretly transported to Noxus by demon hunters and entrusted to the magic academy run by the Black Rose.
As for why they need so many mages...
Anyway, according to what Li Lin learned from Anne's mother, Amorine, the instructors of Ravenblum Academy would imprint rune magic on some gifted people, allowing them to absorb the magic power of other magic apprentices and thus enhance their own strength.
This is also the tragic experience of the Iron Maiden Riel.
Demacia is willing to coexist peacefully with Noxus. They do not seek expansion and do not like fighting. Almost all of their wars are wars of self-defense to protect their country.
Jarvan III, who personally interrogated Eldred, stated that Swain must resolve his country's internal problems and completely eradicate the hostile party, the Black Rose.
Today, Li Lin and Swain agreed to meet, and he also called in his trusted subordinates to discuss this issue.
The Black Rose has infiltrated every area of Noxus, especially the ever-changing LeBlanc. There are even her pawns in the Immortal Bastion, but Swain pretends not to notice.
If it weren't for Swain's ability to see through all secrets, Leblanc would even place her subordinates around him, and this wouldn't be the first time she's done this.
As early as the Ionian War, Swain should have occupied the Presidium, completely defeated the Navori Resistance, and won the war. However, because LeBlanc planted people and drew out his troops, he was ultimately defeated and had his right arm cut off by Irelia Zan.
Li Lin provided Swain with a way to identify Leblanc. He could provide a group of mechanical engineers and drones with optical camouflage effects.
With the help of the intelligent brain's scanning function and the global positioning capabilities of Miniature Runeterra, identifying the users of deception and trickery is easy.
Although there are many vampires in the Black Rose who obey Vladimir's orders and their abilities may be varied, even a demigod may not be able to defeat the Iron Torrent Mechanical Legion, let alone a bunch of small termites?
Du Kecao was wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen. One could only guess what he was thinking by the subtle changes in his eyes.
Leto and Mela looked surprised and were half-believing and half-doubting what Li Lin said.
But Swain didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask too much.
"It seems that if we want to eradicate the Pale Lady and the Black Rose, we have no choice but to follow your method." Swain leaned against the back of the sofa, holding his chin with his right hand, and there was no sadness or joy in his tone.
"As long as I can find all of Madam Pale's clones, I'm confident I can eliminate them all at the same time." Li Lin maintained a gentle smile on his face, "As long as the commander-in-chief is willing to let me dispatch the mechanical combat units."
Swain was silent for a moment, his dark red eyes scanning the five people on either side. "What do you think?"
Leto and Mela looked at each other, shook their heads and said nothing.
To be able to climb to the current position of power, strength alone is not enough. They are very self-aware and know when to speak and when not to speak.
Delaiwen leaned back with his head in one hand, crossed his legs, and tasted the wine with the other hand, looking nonchalant.
"You're the one who makes the decision on this matter. Once you've thought of a plan, tell me and I'll go kill someone."
This guy has always been like this. On the night when Swain overthrew the former Emperor Darkwill, Draven helped a lot.
Although he looks neither serious nor reliable on the surface, Swain trusts him very much.
Unlike the others, Darius's face flashed with worry. He hesitated and said, "We have just quelled the internal instability. If we go to war with the Black Rose now..."
"Don't worry," Du Kecao said coldly. "Our goal is to eliminate the internal hidden dangers of the Immortal Fortress and prevent the external forces of the Black Rose from infiltrating the leadership again."
"General Du Kecao is right. The Black Rose is omnipresent. We must first eliminate the Black Rose members from the leadership before we think about other problems." Swain affirmed.
Then, he turned his gaze back to Li Lin. "How long will it take you to find out the identity of the Pale Lady and the members of the Immortal Fortress Black Rose?"
Li Lin pondered for a moment and decided to be conservative. "If nothing unexpected happens, the mechanical subordinates I dispatch will be able to thoroughly investigate Noxus within a day, but I'm not sure how much they can find in the first round."
“Is that so…” Swain fell silent again, a thoughtful look on his face.
There was a brief silence in the air.
"Well, if we can deal with the Pale Lady sooner rather than later," he said, his eyes gleaming as he sat up straight. "Today's meeting ends here. I'll contact you later with the details..."
Swain stood up and said to Li Lin, "Come with me. I have something important to discuss with you alone."

…
I have a cold.
My head feels dizzy(?_?)
