"Ha ......"

Yawning slightly, after washing, Evie gently pushed open the door of the tavern, after another night of fighting, this small street was controlled by an organization called the Beaver Gang, as for the previous Littlefinger Gang?

And according to the cruel words of the rat gang boss before leaving, tonight ...... Or in the afternoon, the neighborhood will not be quiet.

Everything was told to Evie by the homeless man at the door of the tavern, simply because Evie gave him half the night's leftover bread and didn't mind sleeping at the door of the tavern.

In his opinion, such a move is almost like an angel.

Evie, on the other hand, knew that most of such old beggars had their own difficulties just because of her own experience as a child.

An inexplicable melancholy entangled the girl's heart

The scars on your back, the hunt for Noxus, or the gang fight outside.

No, for Evie, these are all things that can be lived.

What really made the girl nervous was that Lines had been in a room with Lux last night, seemingly discussing something.

As for himself and Ali, they eavesdropped outside all night.

To this day, Evie's neck is still a little sore.

OK...... Nothing happened.

Evie said, pulling out her broom and sweeping the dust and congealed blood from the doorway—it was Ali's job, but she was now sleeping on her stomach at the bar.

'Lines...... You must not steal it...... It's mine. “

These kinds of dream words kept coming out of Ali's mouth, making Evie feel in danger.

Myself...... What was it like to be with Lines?

At first, when she saw him, she was afraid that he would reveal his disguised identity, but then, in the subsequent events, Ali gradually felt that Lines was the same as when he was a child, although he was full of spikes on the outside, but in fact he was completely different on the inside.

Whether it's the Nightmare event or the trip to Ionia, Evie can sense that Lines is very different from the men she sees.

Strong, introverted, and considerate of others.

But also mysterious......

Can such a person catch up with him?

After all, when examining the wound on his back, the average man will have a little discomfort even if he does not have a wild hair.

But Lines didn't react, like a surgeon.

How much weight does he have in his heart?

"What are you thinking?"

At this moment, behind Ali, Lanes's voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah...... It's nothing, it's just a little bit of a neck ache. ”

Evie looked at the floor she had swept in front of her, and it was spotless, revealing the ant nest below.

"Sleeping well is good for your body's recovery, and you don't want to be a 'dead man' for the rest of your life."

Lines said, setting the broom aside.

"I think you're a lot more mature than Ali...... It's better for you to persuade her to eavesdrop on this kind of thing all night, after all, you know that Lux and I won't do anything. ”

"And what's your relationship?"

Almost subconsciously, Evie's words blurted out.

Not only Evie, but even Lines himself was stunned.

Why ask this kind of question.

Not only in Lines's heart, but Evie was also asking herself.

"Hoo ......"

Lines sighed and leaned against the door.

"Remember the slums of Noxus?"

"Yes. ”

Evie took a chair from the side and sat on it.

"You once asked me, what do you want most?"

"Did I ask? Why don't I remember. ”

Evie scratched her head, and to be honest, Evie usually tried to forget the small talk she had as a child, because it reminded her of the fact that she was a beggar.

"Of course, you asked, and you got a piece of cake when a child fell to the ground, and you said that what you want most in your life is a piece of cake that belongs to you. ”

"I ...... Did I say it, I don't remember. ”

Evie's face was a little red, such a statement seemed very ridiculous to her now.

"That's right, you said, and you asked me, what do I want most?"

"What did you say then?"

Evie asked curiously.

"Light ......"

"Light?"

Obviously, this puzzling answer was a bit puzzling to Evie.

"That's right...... Living underground in Noxus, what I want most is to see the light of the sun, or ...... Light in a dark slum. ”

Lines said, holding up his hand, and the sun shining through the palm of his hand made Lines's cane red, and he could even see the capillaries inside.

"That's right...... The people in the slums are selfish, suspicious of each other, oppressive to each other, and if you have the slightest hint of kindness, you will die without a place to be buried...... To be honest, I hate it there, and I'm sure you are too. ”

……

Evie was silent.

She used to think she was the only one who thought so.

There is absolutely no future in Noxus, and if you can only grow into scum here.

That's what Evie thought about and escaped from Noxus.

As Lines said, Evie just couldn't stand the darkness around her, so she escaped.

After escaping, Evie thought she was free, but unfortunately, whether it was the wandering trip to the Stormy Plains, the opportunities of Karamanda, or the life in the War College, it was the same as before, and there was no future in sight.

"That's right, Lux is like light to me, she is the guiding light that leads me out of the darkness, and I am willing to ...... even if it is to put out a fire for her."

With that, Lines stood up and closed the door.

"Okay, I said it, these two days will be dangerous, go back, I'll figure out how to deal with money - Miss Doom has ...... left over from my honorarium"

Looking at Lines walking into the room, Evie took a deep breath.

Light......

That's right, yourself, maybe there is light.

It's worth pursuing for yourself.

……

"Hey, hey, lighter!"

Xia hissed and said to Luo on the side.

"Bear with me, my dear, if I don't help you clean up the blood in it, it will get infected. ”

Luo carefully wrapped Kasumi's wound with his own feathers, and blew lightly twice.

"Hmm...... Not bad, I have to say, your craft is good. ”

"Of course, I made you a coat out of the feathers I took off in three years, but you said you didn't like it, so I sold it. ”

"Hmmm, you mean that colorful, eye-popping coat? Come on, my head gets dizzy when I see it. ”

Kasumi said disgustedly.

"So, where did you sell that dress?"
