lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Page 86

The distance between the two carriages could be covered in a few minutes, but it took him twenty minutes.

And these twenty minutes of struggle finally made him make up his mind.

Ignorance gradually faded from his young face.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Old Iger always said that growth comes at a price.

The bamboo pole is a whip, but not a price.

The real price needs to be paid by yourself.

He clenched the dagger and walked towards the prison van.

An unknown corner location.

An inconspicuous dark purple particle rolled to Irelia's side.

The tree thief looked at the 'big meal' that was slowly approaching, and felt that his branches were already hungry and thirsty.

"You asked me to see with my own eyes, and I think... I seem to understand something."

Ignat said these words in his most determined voice, which he had been thinking over and over in his mind for a long time.

He may not have much experience.

But he has a basic conscience.

Although Old Iger was always arguing with him, he did just as much as he should have done and taught him at other times.

"I'll help you open the lock now, run away!"

He made a move to cut the chains with his dagger, but a look from Irelia stopped him.

That look was the same look he had in his dreams.

"If you really want to help me, just do what they ask."

Irelia's face was completely exposed to the light of the lantern bug.

Ignet's transformation allowed her to see the light of Ionia again.

"But..." Ignet didn't understand, but he still stopped.

"Blood is the key to a firm will. Any success requires a price." Irelia looked at Ignat with a warmth in her eyes, as if she were one of her own. She placed her right hand behind her back to block the tree traitor who was ready to move.

"This is the price I choose to pay. Go ahead."

"..."

Ignat froze in place.

At this moment, Irelia's face and the elder's face seemed to alternate.

They said the same thing.

But it gave him a completely different feeling...

......

Ryan's figure was looming in the green forest.

After knowing the destination of the convoy, he stopped playing the tailgating game.

Jie, who masters shadow magic, becomes his best guide.

He only needed to follow the shadow's guidance to find a shortcut to the Navoli Brotherhood through the tangled forest where the carriage could not pass.

This familiarity reminded Ryan of the power map he saw within the resistance.

These forces in Ionia seem to know exactly where the other forces' "bases" are.

After walking for about ten more hours, the outline of Jie was imprinted on the tree trunk in front.

"Almost there."

"Ok?"

Ryan raised his head and looked into the distance through the gaps between the trees.

They have moved away from the 'back' of Ionia.

This place is relatively closer to the coastline.

The change that followed was that there was more moisture in the air.

The moisture gathered in the woods, forming a thick fog that refused to dissipate for a long time.

From Ryan's perspective, he could only see the shadows of more trees emerging from the hazy smoke.

Behind the foreground formed by these shadows, there is an abrupt "emptiness".

This emptiness does not mean that there is nothing, but that something else has replaced the tree.

"We'd better wait here." Jie Yan said simply and horrifiedly.

The understanding between opponents is often two-way. The more Jie understands Ku Shuo, the more Ku Shuo understands Jie.

They had to calculate all the details in order to deceive the dog that had died several times.

"How long until they arrive?" Ryan asked.

"If there are no other accidents, it will take about three to four hours."

When he mentioned 'accident', Shadow surged.

Ryan has become accustomed to this kind of shadow expression during this period of time.

He knew that the 'accident' Zed was talking about was that young man.

They have been on the road all this time.

But you don't need to use your mouth to travel.

So the two people who had a lot of free talk made a bet.

If Ryan loses, then he hands over the initiative of the partnership to Zed.

And if Zed loses, he will tell Ryan the wonderful uses of shadow magic.

Zed believed that young people would be corrupted by the Navoli Brotherhood and become accomplices in destroying Ionia's foundation.

But Ryan believes that Irelia will influence the young man and bring him back to the warm embrace of light.

This bet seems to be on the character of young people.

But in fact, it expresses the difference in thinking between Ryan and Jie.

In Jie's opinion, war...or going to the battlefield is the responsibility of a few people.

This is why the Shadow Order he founded is small in number and is extremely opposed to organizations like the Navoli Brotherhood.

He believed that war and its negative consequences were like a toxin that would damage the very foundation of Ionia if too many people came into contact with it.

But when Ryan asked him if his argument still held true if a minority of people were unable to end the war quickly, leading to prolonged and repeated wars that affected more ordinary people, he responded with silence.

"I will win."

Ryan was extremely confident.

This time, Jie did not refute immediately, but told a story in a roundabout way.

Ku said that he was once a very contagious person. When he stood in the sun, his contagiousness did play a positive role.

But people always change, and both those who influence others and those who are influenced may become unstable factors in the future.

At this time, the fewer the number of people, the smaller the impact.

Even if his Shadow Stream was completely corrupted, it would only result in a few dozen more evil ninjas.

The corruption of the Navoli Brotherhood will spread throughout Ionia.

And this approach of pulling the majority of people in also means more sacrifices.

He felt that even if the young man would be assimilated by Irelia, if he refused the orders of the Navoli Brotherhood later in the journey, he would eventually be killed by the Navoli Brotherhood.

Zed couldn't answer Ryan's question directly, but he tried to make Ryan see the drawbacks of this idea through this bitter experience.

However, Ryan disagreed.

He's not being deliberate.

Rather, he felt that Irelia and Ku Shuo were completely two different people.

"She's not like the people you mentioned, who were just empty slogans. But she became a hero because she showed people that she could win the battle and she gave everyone a knife.

"You may have been in Ionia longer than I have, but you don't understand ordinary people."

"You understand?" Jie used the Shadow Expression again.

"I may not fully understand it, but someone does." Ryan looked at Jie and thought of a work that was worthy of being nominated for World Heritage.

"Human nature is like that. When you can not only win battles but also give them hope and tangible benefits, even if you simply shout out the slogan 'Sword in hand, follow me,' they will follow you wholeheartedly."

"But this kind of following is like grass that bends in the wind; they will help whoever wins."

Ryan smiled when he heard this. He glanced at his supporting actor with satisfaction and said, "But if you look at it from another angle, it means whoever they help will win!"

His head is so bald that the brothers squeaked when they saw him.

Chapter 108 Flaw

"You are indeed on our side!"

'Uncle' reached out and patted Ignat's shoulder, the wrinkles on his face like a half-opened chrysanthemum.

He was ready to pay the price of two or three nephews to complete the elder's mission.

But Ignat's success made him feel like he had picked up three nephews for free.

Moreover, this new nephew seems to be a really ruthless person. I feel like I have found a treasure.

'Uncle's' sigh passed through Ignat's face imperceptibly.

This kid usually behaves well, but now he still looks timid.

But the blood on the dagger can't lie.

There were only two people in the prison van, and Ignat himself had no wounds, so the blood could only be from that person.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Irelia's reputation was carved out piece by piece.

Even if Shadow Stream had not been involved, when facing such a person, not only himself, but even the elders would not dare to provoke him. Otherwise, how could such an achievement be handed over to a young man?

Compared with achievements and life, the latter is more valuable.

Although Irelia's family emblem was confiscated, who would really believe that a hero who is invincible on the battlefield would become useless without her family emblem?

He took the dagger from Ignat's hand, and the clear bloodstains on it made him unable to suppress his inner excitement.

The mission is completed here.

As long as there is blood, it’s fine. As for where the wound is...does it matter?

"what......"

Ignat's reaction was a little slow, his frightened eyes followed the dagger, completely ignoring his 'uncle's' enthusiasm.

But at this moment, 'Uncle' had no objection to it.

A cat that can catch mice is a good cat. Who cares whether it is clingy to people or not?

He still forced a smile, but suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked in a low and tentative voice, "Did she resist?"

"......No."

'Uncle' gave a look of astonishment.

This is actually nonsense.

If I resisted this guy, how could he stand here intact?
