Chapter 585: I Can't Sleep, Don't You Want to Sleep
It's okay not to close your eyes, but when you close your eyes, all kinds of thoughts come flooding in, disturbing Akali to calm down at all, even meditation doesn't work.
Why did Jeno save himself?
Is he a spy of the Shadow Stream?
Who is better than him?
And so on and so forth......
A series of questions made Akali dizzy and annoyed, and the distractions that she couldn't get rid of made her sleep, but Jeno, who was only two steps away, could sleep so soundly, which made her very incomprehensible.
So with this in mind, she began to test Jeno.
"Hey, did you sleep?" She whispered the words in a room so quiet that she could only hear the sound of breathing.
It was as if he was talking to himself, and a normal person could only hear a slight murmur from Akali's mouth, and usually would not take it seriously.
But Jeno is no ordinary person.
Sleeping on a high place, he heard Akali's voice, his eyes first rolled a few times in his thin eyelids, then his eyebrows tightened, and the upper and lower eyelashes parted with them, revealing confused and helpless eyes.
"What?" Jeno said.
If it were a random person who got up and got up, Akali would have been kicked out of the room with a pillow by now.
"How many questions do I ask you?" Akali didn't expect such a whisper to be able to sink into her soul at once, and her heart suddenly became nervous, and she even spoke hotly.
"Are you taking revenge on society? If you can't sleep yourself, you won't let others sleep. ”
Jeno's faint voice reached Akali's ears, causing her goosebumps, which was so embarrassing.
"No, I really have a question for you." She said.
"Then ask, hurry up and finish asking and go to bed."
"You must have some purpose for saving me, such as asking me to help you kill someone or something? If you are a normal person, you will not walk miles of mountain roads in the middle of the night to find people in dangerous enemy camps. This was a question that Akali had been unable to understand, or that the motives Jano had given before were too noble and untrue.
Stop her in order to save her? How does this benefit him?
She believed that people could not afford to be young, and that the flames of war had spread throughout Ionia thirteen years earlier, and it had changed people.
There must still be these noble people now, but they should be the older generation with old ideas, and Jeno is obviously still very young, not like a person who will have this kind of enlightenment.
Jeno rolled over, turned to look at Akali, and said, "I want you to go to Presidian." ”
Presidian, a place like the capital for the Ionians, Akali had naturally been there a few times, passing by while accompanying the Balanced Sannin on a mission, where the holy mountain was majestic and full of flowers, and even she, a person who was born unable to learn magic, could feel the breath of natural magic in Presidian.
But sooner or later, it would face the threat of Noxus, and because Presidium was sacred, a sacred place in the hearts of all Ionians, the Noxians knew that taking it would be significant for the Empire's victory.
"What are you doing there? It's safer, and sooner or later the Noxus army will reach Presidian. Akali was puzzled.
"Go to the fight, find someone named Irelia." Jeno said.
"Wait, you want me to assassinate Irelia? Are you a spy for Noxus or a radical of the Brotherhood? Akali sat up suddenly, staring at Jeno with suspicion.
Akali knew Irelia because the battle of standing up thirteen years ago had been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Ionian, although in the three years that Noai had started the war, Akali had been left in the Sect of Equilibrium, and had never been in direct contact with war.
But that battle, the turning point in the Noai War, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Ionian, engraved into the blood and bones, and has become an indelible memory. Irelia has also become a household name in Ionia.
Therefore, when Akali thought that Jeno wanted her to assassinate such a national salvation hero, she jumped out of me on the spot.
"I'll assassinate you @¥! ¥! %" Jeno directly threw the tattered pillow as a hidden weapon at Akali, it was okay to be misunderstood, but she was so startled that Jeno couldn't even breathe.
Before Akali could fight back, Jeno explained his intentions:
"I'm asking you to help Irelia, because Noxus will fight Presidon sooner or later, and it will be a tough battle, so I'm going to gather all the gods of Ionia to Presidon to prepare for the battle."
"But I don't seem to have that qualifications yet. Ku Wu is not used for war, and I, as a solo assassin, will not have magic like Shen and Tribulation and Kenan, which can play a very limited role on the real battlefield. ”
Akali was an assertive person, and she knew that she was incompetent, so she limited herself to punishing the traitors. When she left the sect, the war had been over for several years, so there had never been much chance to make a big splash.
She is not enough to be called a hero of national salvation, because her public influence is not enough to be called a chivalrous, a maintainer of local order. But in the aftermath of the war, she never forgot the heroic dream she had when she came down the mountain.
"That's why you have to make the most of this opportunity, the Battle of Presidians will be the perfect opportunity for you to make a name for yourself. I've met Irelia, and to be honest, she's just like that, not much worse than you. If you compare her heirloom blade to your kunai, then it's better than you because her knife can bend and fight more gracefully, it's not a big deal. What Irelia can do, you can do. ”
Jeno caught Akali's psychological tricks, and it worked well for her.
Because in the sect, none of the teachings of those predecessors follow Akali's thoughts, and they often just use the Creed and Precepts to urge Akali to restrain his inner impulses, rather than channeling his emotions like Jeno did.
"But the reason why she is admired by thousands of people must be outstanding, and it is not just because she cut off Svein's arm."
Akali hugged her knees and muttered, still looking unconfident.
If Irelia was really as ordinary as Jeno said, then she could be a great hero of Ionia a few years earlier, leading people to resist the invasion of Noxus.
Jano sighed, sat up, and patted his thigh, "If you don't believe me, then I'll tell you about Irelia." ”
So Jeno poured himself a glass of water and began to tell Akali the story he was best at.
