lol: Bind Syndra at the start

"You really look like my brother!" the girl affirmed.

"maybe......"

Ryan didn't comment, after all, the girl was not bad looking.

It's no surprise that she has a good-looking brother.

It's like this in any world. Good-looking people are mostly similar, but ugly people can be ugly in all kinds of ways.

The girl didn't argue with Ryan anymore. She finally noticed Ryan's dress.

This kind of dress is not uncommon. After Ionia became chaotic, many people who left their homes were "wandering" outside dressed like this.

The reason why Ryan can do it so realistically is because he has seen a lot of it.

the girl asked.

"My name is... Mingyue."

Ryan changed his tone temporarily.

He almost forgot that they were part of a trio, no, people from Gouya Temple were also involved.

Thanks to the efforts of this group of people, the name Ryan should have gained a certain degree of popularity.

"Hey, your name is quite strange."

"Well, I'm an orphan. The person who found me said the moon was very big that night."

This is the truth.

Ryan remembered that the night he first arrived, the moon on the seashore was like a huge disc.

He had never seen a moon so big.

I have never felt such a strong sense of homesickness.

When Carly heard that Ryan was an orphan, her eyes lit up, as if she had a little more anticipation, "Are you here to join the Navoli Brotherhood?"

This is equivalent to being at the door of the headquarters.

No matter what the Navoli Brotherhood's reputation has been in recent years, there has never been a shortage of people wanting to join it.

At its core, this world is not a fairy tale.

Perhaps some of those who have been bullied really want to hide away if possible and let time heal the scars.

But more people respond to being bullied by joining the powerful side and making more people taste the pain they once experienced.

"Yes."

Ryan did not hide his sadness and sorrow, and showed just the right amount.

He has no acting skills, but the aura of dark magic is enough for him to control this kind of negative emotion to the extreme.

"Then come with me!" Carly patted her chest, "We...my grandfather is the elder!"

You met the granddaughter of an elder?

Ryan looked at the pride on Carly's face.

The progress is smoother than I imagined.

Since you can walk in, why would you refuse?

He immediately followed Carly.

Although the location of the Navoli Brotherhood's stronghold is no secret, entering requires a "security check".

In Jie's words, there are extremely strict inspection and verification procedures here.

But Ryan, who was following Carly, was not even "questioned" about his background.

When the sentries saw Carly, they let them pass.

This proves that Carly had no intention of lying to him, so...

"Did something happen to your brother?"

-

So do you still have your tickets?

Chapter 111 Another Elder

"He's dead...missing! But he'll always come back to us."

Carly said firmly.

Ryan was silent.

He could hear the anticipation in Carly's voice.

But Ionia is not that big, and Carly's family is not an ordinary family.

The huge headquarters of the Navoli Brotherhood is located here. If her brother was still alive, how could he not have come here all these years?

"I hope he can return safely."

He spoke soothingly while looking at his surroundings.

As the headquarters of the Navoli Brotherhood, the village is filled with an extremely divisive structure and atmosphere.

Call it ordinary, but the sight of armed patrols everywhere on the streets always gives you a solemn feeling;

It's solemn, but a patrol might pass by one second and a boy without pants might urinate on the street the next.

This village is like a patchwork monster, forcibly stitching together several kinds of "people".

Carly led Ryan into the village, and many people on the way took the initiative to greet Carly.

Then, when he saw Ryan behind her, he looked at her with envy and jealousy.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In such a patchwork gathering place, various contradictions are bound to exist and have not been completely eliminated.

It's like an active volcano. It's not erupting now, but there will always be a moment when it erupts.

Before a major conflict breaks out, people can only vent their inner dissatisfaction and resentment through other means.

Ryan automatically blocked out the harsh language.

Carly obviously heard it, but she didn't say anything, just silently quickened her pace.

Hidden beneath that innocence is the indifference to bad reviews.

Gradually, the surrounding buildings became much more orderly.

Ryan discovered that these buildings were not traditional tree houses, but like the walls of the village, they were built by directly cutting down trees and then building square houses.

From an outsider's perspective, there is no practical significance in doing this.

The outer wall could be said to be for defense, but here...

He had seen many tree houses during this period. The well-maintained tree houses were not much worse than the finely decorated ones in his previous life. In fact, they were better in many details.

"Why cut down trees?" Ryan asked directly.

"I heard from my grandfather that the man who cut down the tree did it to let others see the innovative spirit of the Navoli Brotherhood."

Ryan laughed unceremoniously when he heard this.

Does overthrowing tradition mean innovation?

Is chopping down ten trees as meaningful as killing one Noxian?

Innovation for the sake of innovation often makes people lose their edge prematurely.

When you really need to innovate, you will find that the courage and energy that can be used for innovation have long been wasted in meaningless attempts.

Ryan didn't say what he was thinking, as it was too far away for Carly.

Although they had not been in contact for a long time, Carly's behavior made him realize that she was a well-protected girl.

This kind of liveliness in her is rare at her age.

Perhaps it was because of the death of her younger brother that her elder grandfather cherished her even more.

In short, she trusted a stranger so easily and brought him in directly. It couldn't be just because he was good-looking, right?

"Are you planning to take me directly to see your grandfather?"

Ryan asked.

Carly didn't look back. "Otherwise, even though what those people said was harsh, the truth is this. If you want to join the Navoli Brotherhood, then the best way is to get the approval of an elder directly."

The progress was somewhat beyond my expectations.

Ryan felt that if he had been a little more shameless and had escorted Irelia's convoy back a little later...

Maybe I will be the one in charge to go to the village gate to pick up the prison van.

If this later time is extended several times, perhaps peaceful evolution can be achieved directly.

Just like in a certain movie, the network has not been fully established yet, and the undercover agent sent in is already on the verge of becoming the boss.

Ryan followed Carly inside and finally stopped at the door of a mahogany house.

"Wait a moment, I'll go call..."

Before Carly could finish her words, Ryan was already looking inside the house.

"boom!"

The wooden door was pushed open.

Then there was a "da da" sound.

An old man with a crutch came out. When he saw Carly, he frowned and said sternly, "Why are you running around again? Do you know it's not safe outside recently?!"

Carly was not frightened by the old man. She stood in front of Ryan with a carefree look and said, "It's not safe today, it's not safe tomorrow, when have you ever felt safe outside..."

At this point, she didn't give the old man a chance to retort, and suddenly moved to the side. "Look, who does he look like?"

"What do you mean by look like who!" The old man still had his eyebrows raised, but when he saw Ryan, he was suddenly stunned, his emotions were briefly out of control, and then he adjusted himself back.

But with this back and forth, the momentum that was originally created weakened.

The so-called elder, after being stripped of the blessing of his status, is nothing more than a disabled old man.

His gaze stayed on Ryan's face for several seconds before slowly moving away, "Really, really alike..."

Carly heard what her grandfather said. She leaned closer and whispered, "He said he was an orphan who was picked up by someone. Is it possible that it's true..."

"Impossible!" The old man knew what his granddaughter was going to say. "I... saw him die with my own eyes, and your brother was a few years younger than him..."

"Is it?"

Carly was puzzled.

"Yes."

The old man was certain. He looked at Ryan again. Although he was sure that this person was not his grandson, looking at this very similar face, he still found it difficult to put on the airs of an elder as before.

"You can call me Carol. I'm sure Carly has told you everything else, so now tell me the truth, what do you want?"

"I want to join the fraternity." Ryan said directly.

"That's it?" Carlo narrowed his eyes.

“It would be better if the treatment was better.”

Carlo stared at Ryan for a while, then nodded noncommittally, "Okay, then just follow me first."

"Thank you..." Ryan's eyes swept over Carlo's legs.

The latter seemed to be accustomed to the gazes of strangers. He turned around and beckoned Ryan in, saying, "Are you curious about what's wrong with my leg?"

"Was he injured while fighting Noxus?" Ryan guessed.

Not all members of the Brotherhood are a cancer. Many of them did go to the battlefield.

"It was indeed caused by a battle, but not with the Noxians, but with the Shadow bastards!"

"..."

Ryan glanced at his own shadow.
