CHAPTER XX

dream

I lit a cigarette and looked up at the moon, "Tell me about it?" ”

Fiona still looked up at the moon in the sky, as if recalling the painful past.

"This moon is no longer the moon you have, and you are no longer Valoran's peerless sword concubine, what else can't you think of?" Seeing that Fiona had no intention of speaking, I opened my mouth to comfort her.

"No matter what hatred or glory you had before, you should let go now." I said and pointed to Carl, who was burying his face in the bowl, "You saw what he looked like a few hours ago, and now?" ”

Fiona followed my finger and looked at Carl, finally smiling.

"He may have been a noble magician, a pretentious nobleman, or a chicken farm owner, but whatever he used to be, he has become a thing of the past, let go of his past self, and in this regard, Carl is doing a good job!" I continued to enlighten Fiona.

"Tell me, what are you trying to do with me?" Carl muttered dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I eat you an extra egg, as for it?" ”

Fiona was finally amused by the two of us, and burst out laughing.

"Xiaoqiang, do you have any dreams?" Fiona finally spoke.

"Do you mean life or something else?"

"Does it make a difference?" Fiona looked at me puzzled.

"Of course, there is a difference, for me, the dream in life is to be able to live a happy life with a wife and children on the hot kang in the future, preferably the kind of day when I can eat and wait for death!"

"What you're saying is too profound, isn't it?" Carl looked up at me.

"What about the other dreams?" Fiona asked again.

"Other dreams?" I thought about it, "That's more, when I was a child, I dreamed of being a hero and saving the world, and when I grew up, I wanted to be a singer and a soldier, too much!" ”

"Do you have a dream that you've ever really fought for?"

"Yes!" I took a puff of cigarette, "I used to wish I could be a writer, or a writer, I hoped that many people would see my books and recognize my books, and for this dream, I have been writing since I was in college, and I have been writing, and I have been writing, and I have been writing. ”

"Do you still write now?"

"I won't write for the time being, isn't this looking for a job and taking care of you again?" I pointed at Carl, who gave me a blank look, "I've thought about it, when you're gone, I'll have time, and I'd like to write down the story of what happened between us!" Maybe I'll be on fire! ”

"Then I wish you success!" Fiona smiled.

"Hopefully!" That's when I realized, "Didn't you come out to talk about you?" What's wrong with me? ”

"Hehe, then I'll tell you my story and my dreams!" Fiona smiled, "I've never told anyone. ”

"Say it quickly!" Carl put the bowl on the ground, "Xiaoqiang, give me a cigarette?" ”

"You really don't look like a mage anymore!" I took out a cigarette and shoved it into his mouth and lit it for him.

"My family used to be the noblest royal family in Demacia, the Laurent family. My family is not only a pivotal figure in the country's politics, but also a far leader in swordsmanship. As soon as I was born, I was considered the most gifted child in my family, and in the future I would become one of the best swordsmen in Demacia and in the whole of Valoran. And so my dreams. From the day I was able to pick up the sword, I began to practice hard, hoping to become the pride of my family one day. ”

"Just like me, I always wanted to be the greatest magician!" Carl interjected.

"Shut up! What's going on with you? I gave him a blank look.

"My father, on the other hand, was almost invincible at the time, and I don't know how many duels he fought, but I know that he never lost! At that time, my father has always been my idol, the goal of my struggle! Until one day, all that changed! Fiona said, closing her eyes in agony.

Karl was about to interject and say something, but I glared back.

Fiona paused, and continued, "That day was the most important duel of his life, and it was, the last. Before the duel, he was found to have put paralyzing poison in his opponent's wine, and the duel was canceled and my father was directly condemned to lose. ”

"Did your father really poison him?" I couldn't help but ask, "Or is someone framing him?" ”

"I don't know, he didn't say anything!" Fiona shook her head a little excitedly, "After the incident, those who used to duel with my father also came forward to accuse my father, saying that he used to put poison on his weapon during the duel, that he bribed his opponent before the match, that he blackmailed and blackmailed, that he threatened the opponent before the game, etc., etc., And my father, in the face of these people's accusations, did not say a word. ”

Probably, all this is true, right? I could only guess in my heart and didn't dare to say it.

"From that day on, my faith, my goals, all collapsed! Even my opponents began to doubt my abilities, and they felt that my victories had been won by the same means as my father. During that time, I had been living a messy life, and I had no intention of practicing swords. Later, my father fell ill, and before he died, he took my hand and told me that the person he was most sorry for in his life was me, and he had let me down......"

Fiona said that she couldn't stop crying.

I patted Fiona on the back as Carl handed over a tissue with him.

I didn't care why a big man would put a tissue in his pajamas, so I quickly took it and handed it to Fiona.

"Thank you!" Fiona thanked her softly, "This is the first time I've cried since my father...... died."

Fiona wiped away tears and continued, "After my father's death, my family's reputation was completely gone, and only an empty shelf remained. And all the members of the family left to find a way to survive elsewhere. I was the only one who stayed. From that day on, my dream also changed, and I wanted to carry on my father's last wish, because I wanted to prove to everyone that our Laurent family's swordsmanship was the best in the entire Valoran continent! I want to prove to everyone that I can win every duel without any means! ”

"You've done it!" By the time Fiona had finished, a thick voice came from behind us.

I looked back and saw Galen, Caitlyn, and Brother Legend all coming out.

"Your efforts, as well as your sword skills, we have all seen it, you are already one of the greatest swordsmen in Demacia!" Galen said, "Just like Gavin said, if it weren't for Fiona's strong self-esteem, she would not have been able to accept that fact!" Although I never understood the meaning of this sentence......"

"You're so stupid!" Caitlin smiled and said, "Actually, this sentence is very understandable, Sister Fiona's self-esteem is all derived from her terrifying strength and superb swordsmanship, since she can accept that fact, it means that she is already standing at the top of the Demacia Arena!" ”

"Well, from the first time I saw you, I knew you were a terrible swordsman and!" The legendary brother also picked up, "There are still enemies!" ”

"Thank you!" Fiona.

"I don't know how you died, but it's amazing that you can fight with the masked man!" Brother Legend then complimented, "You know, Masked Man and Luna are known as River Dog Men and Women!" ”

"What do you mean?" Galen asked, rubbing his head.

"That is to say, if you go head-to-head with him, you will almost die!" I glanced at Galen, "Just like you, didn't you die at the hands of the Juggernaut?" ”

"That's right!" Caitlyn suddenly asked, "Sister Fiona, how the hell did you die?" ”
