Chapter 31: The Rat Crosses the Street
Ahri clasped Reginald's arm tightly, letting the plump two balls on his chest squeeze on it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the face of Rigginard beside her seemed calm, which made her feel a little relieved, but only slightly, the drum was still beating uneasily.
She's a harmful demon fox.
Almost heinous wanted.
Now, how is she going to come here and ask for forgiveness?
Karma is the spiritual leader of Ionia, and if she forgives her, she will be able to convince these Ionians. Butβdon't be stupid, how could Karma say words of forgiveness for a sinner like hers.
"Weak Chicken...... They're really going to ...... Will you accept me? They may ...... Won't listen to your explanation...... You...... You're just an apprentice......"
"Who told you I was an apprentice?" Reginard had a mysterious smile on his face.
Ahri looked at him with wide, misty eyes full of surprise.
"I'm Reginad Ashram, and everyone on the other side of the sea thinks I'm the strongest magician. Besides, I'm a senior member of the War College Council, and Karma should respect me in terms of status. β
"Really?" Her eyes were stained with a color of surprise.
Although he had also gotten a hint of what Li Qing and his words had heard before, he was still surprised and delighted when he was sure of it from Rigginade's mouth for the first time.
Dead weak chicken, you are so powerful.
The feeling in my heart is a warm joy. Because this is the person she fell in love with.
"Here we are." Reginad paused, raised his head, and stared at the open gate ten paces away, and the tall, milky white walls that stretched out to either side.
Merchants, farmers, townspeople, and all sorts of people came and went at the city gates.
A peaceful scene.
"Sure enough, the city of Ionia, which will never fall, will finally fall in front of Noxus." Reginard sighed and shook his head.
"Why?" Ahri beside him asked puzzled.
"It's fancy." Reginard explained, "The walls that were built back then have been repaired again and again, and have been turned into useless ornaments." β
But is this the end of peace?
Reginard couldn't help frowning, slowly dissipating all vigilance and precaution in his peaceful life, and then- collapsed in a sudden turn of events?
He let out a long breath, looked at Ahri who was clasping him tightly, smiled faintly, as if to say, "Don't worry, it's all right," and walked to the city gate.
Although there was a crowd in front of the gate, when the two of them approached the city gate, it seemed as if the surrounding area had been cleared.
All the people gathered around in fear, watching themβ
Ahri, to be exact, this strange woman with fox ears and nine tails.
There were whispers in the crowd, and there were many people, and people encouraged each other to be emboldened, and at last some people spoke loudly.
"It's the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, that monster!"
Immediately, some people in the crowd responded with the same loud voice: "What a beautiful woman, I can't imagine that my heart is so vicious." β
Malice dripped into the sea of people like poisonous juice and slowly spread.
"Monster!"
"Dear Karma, I beg you to send this guy to the gallows!"
Ahri's eyes immediately became wet, and he couldn't help but let out a whimper in his throat, "Woo, no...... It's not like that......"
However, her pitiful begging could not arouse people's sympathy at all, and in fact, on the contrary, some people who were originally afraid of the power of the demon fox saw her show of weakness, but had courage.
"Sluts who seduce men!" A middle-aged woman scolded sharply, and Ahri didn't even have time to find the direction of the voice in the crowd when something suddenly hit her in the face.
Soft and stinky, due to the force of the fall on her face, the slimy thing inside hung directly on her pretty face.
It's a rotten banana.
"If you are cheap in your bones, just use this thing to satisfy yourself!" Vicious curses erupted from the woman's mouth again.
She was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
"Ignore the noise." Reginard said lightly, holding her wrist firmly, and continued to walk forward with a blank face.
But the slightly trembling contours of his cheeks betrayed his inhibition.
Ahri blinked her teary eyes vigorously, wiped the filth from her face, nodded slightly, and let him pull - her own body seemed to have no strength.
"Who is that person next to her? Must have been confused, right? It's a wolf in the room! β
"What a wretched man!"
"This monster killed my brother!"
"Seize her and put her to death in public! Guardsman! β
Ahri felt that she couldn't stop her tears, the malicious world was wrapped around her, and in just a while, the two of them had already become the target of public criticism.
Rotten bananas, rotten apples kept smashing on her, and beggars on the side of the road even spat on her, and the faint scent of her body had long since been replaced by a foul smell.
The smashing hurt her, filthy juice running down her long royal blue hair.
No one likes you here.
Her body kept twitching, and the tears of grievance almost washed her face.
"Woo woo woo ......"
She felt that she must be very embarrassed, and her body smelled and disgusting...... Still in front of her beloved......
But she had no choice but to defend herself.
I had to let these storms crush my spirit and weak body.
In a short distance, her body was already covered with the filth that people had thrown at her, and Regina dragged her, quickly leaving the malice behind.
But there are Ionians everywhere......
Everywhere there is a crowd of people shrouded in malice......
Before Kalmana allowed anyone to meet and visit the Temple of Radiance, the guards stopped the two and stared at her warily, the dangerous and evil Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
At swords' points.
"Stop."
Reginard said lightly, his appearance also looking a little embarrassed, and his white robe was stained piece by piece because he had passed through the street with her.
Demonic energy suddenly swirled on the robe, and a mysterious pattern slowly appeared on the plain white mage robe.
It seemed to be a magic circle, no different from what Ahri had seen on the magic circle mark left by Reginade, and it was only then that she noticed that the very center of the pattern was a purple pupil.
Exactly like what she had seen in his right eye last night.
"I'm the Chief Councillor of the War College, Reginald Ashram, and I'm on an equal footing with Lady Kalmar, and I'm my friend next to me. So please put away your weapons and let us pass. β
The guards in front of him may not know his identity, but they feel a strong sense of oppression from the magical power that permeates his body.
"I ...... I'll go brief. The guy quickly turned around and ran into the main hall, and not long after, the guards who reported it returned, "You can go in." β
The moment he stepped into the main hall, Ahri was almost shocked by it.
The temple is almost enclosed, but with many green plants, it almost looks like an indoor garden. The liquid in the pools and fountains, which seemed to be ordinary water, was now shrouded in a holy glow. There was a faint incense in the air, and between the walls, a faint Sanskrit sound echoed.
She felt so dirty and out of place with everything sacred around her.
It's like a piece of dirt on someone else's plate.
The woman at the end of the road had her back to them, her silver-purple robe hanging down the contours of her delicate body, and strange energy enveloped her body, exuding a faint green glow, the faint green color seemed to be the finest jade.
It's Kalmar.
