Chapter 259: The Down-and-Out Aristocrat
In the jungle of the dark night, only two torches were quietly in the distance, scattering their only light.
"Who?" Just as he was about to approach, a figure suddenly burst out of the bushes on the side, a pair of eyes radiating a fierce light in the faint night light, and hands also blooming with a faint light.
All this shows that the person who suddenly appeared is a magician, and Keisha sees such a scene, and knows why Porzin is a mysterious picture this day.
And after Polzin heard the voice of this mage, he stared out from behind Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha with big eyes, and said loudly, "Is it Uncle Fears?" I'm Porzin! ”
"Porzin?" The man who could not see the face clearly, and who was called by the child, first let out a question, and then said after he seemed to have cleared his sight:
"Aren't you supposed to be with your parents tonight? Why did you run up with two strangers? Who are they? ”
Maybe it was what Keisha said before that made Porzin a little worried, he was afraid that the two people around him would treat Furs as a bad guy and stop helping him, so Porzin hurriedly said:
"Uncle, don't be afraid, they are good people. You just promised me to give us a lot of food. ”
As an adult, Furs naturally thinks more than a child like Porzin, and he will not easily give trust to strangers.
And Polzin on the side also seemed to understand Furs's doubts, and hurriedly spoke again: "Uncle Furs, they are really not from the Demon Search Team, they are from Ionia, and I heard them speak Ionian. ”
After hearing this, Furs's face was suddenly very surprised, after all, he was an adult, and he was still a mage, so he must know more than Porzin.
So after thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged man named Firth said: "I heard that Ionia is a country that coexists in harmony with magic, and those of us who live here are really envious, I wonder if that's the case?" ”
As soon as Xiao Yuebai heard this, he knew that the other party should know some details about Ionia, and this was to test whether he was really an Ionian.
However, the reason why he told them that he was an Ionian was because most of the people in the entire Runeterras did not know much about Ionia, and the other was because the city-state forces that Xiao Yuebai knew best were Ionia and Shurima.
So Xiao Yuebai didn't think about it, he opened his mouth and said: "Yes, we Ionians pursue the balance of body and mind, and the harmony of mind and spirit. ”
"However, thousands of years of development have made us only pursue spiritual satisfaction, but forget about the strengthening of the body. And it is precisely because of this that Noxus taught us a profound lesson with butcher knives and war. ”
Looking at Xiao Yuebai's clear words, Furs finally believed the "fact" that Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha were Ionians, and hurriedly said:
"It turns out that the two are really visitors from a distant big island, please forgive me for the rudeness. Please also come in with me, so that we can do our best to the friendship of the landlords. ”
After speaking, he changed his previous hostile expression, and led the two of them towards the two torches in the distance.
He followed Furs to the top of the hillside, and entered between the two torches, and what appeared in front of him was a higher hillside, but unlike the original, on that higher hillside was a multitude of glowing fireflies.
It looks like a crowd of fleeing people, hiding in this honeycomb-like cave, lit by torches for warmth.
It was only when Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha walked in front of several tents on the hillside, and by the dim candlelight, they found that several very thin people were sitting in front of the tents looking at themselves, looking at their usual nutritional intake could not keep up with the normal standard at all.
Only then did the couple understand why Porzin asked themselves just now if they had a lot of food.
And Fears, who had been in charge of leading by Xiao Yuebai's side, also seemed to have noticed what Xiao Yuebai saw, so he sighed helplessly and said slowly:
"Porzin, that kid must have asked the two distinguished guests if they had any food, right?"
Xiao Yuebai nodded with a smile when he heard this, and then said, "Well, I think I understand why he asked like this." ”
"Makes you laugh!" Firth raised his hand and scratched his oily and dusty hair in embarrassment, as if thinking of something, and then continued:
"Mage, this is a respected profession among all the city-states in the entire Runeterra, but why did you let me be born in Demacia!"
"Do you know, sir, when I was hidden in my father's house in those years, I saw books about you Ionia, and I was exclaiming that your kingdom is a paradise for us people."
"As for the Noxians, we weren't afraid of it. Really, sir. From the time we were sensible, we looked at Noxus and thought it was a country that had been notified by the barbarians. ”
"But I never imagined that in the end, it was indeed the country we once believed in that oppressed us."
Xiao Yuebai actually knew what he said, and there were too many hidden twists and turns, and it was not clear in one or two sentences, so Xiao Yuebai just listened quietly and didn't say a word about Furs's complaints.
It's just that for the past of Furs, Xiao Yuebai gradually analyzed a rough idea in his heart.
Looking at the rhythm of the swing of his legs and the size of his steps when he walked, Xiao Yuebai could see that Fears must have been well-educated.
And he had said before that he had read books about Ionia, which also showed that the class he lived in before had a wealth of sources.
In addition, whenever he took himself past a tent, as long as someone was sitting nearby, they looked at Furs with a little reverence in their eyes.
Combining these three, Xiao Yuebai felt that Furs was the leader here, and his family background would not be too ordinary, but it would definitely not be too high, otherwise he would not have gone to the mountains to hide because he was avoiding the demon search team.
"Actually, I'm fine!" Firth didn't notice the "Ionian" behind him, who had already dissected himself, and still said to himself:
"My family Viscasia still has some energy, and without my drag, the people of the demon search team will not embarrass our family."
"But it's the rest of the people here, many of whom have fled here with their families. Their family farmed in Needle Creek County down the hill to earn a living, but they gave us all the harvest. ”
"Bols's kid came here with his parents three years ago, and he has a sister who lives with us."
"His sister is a very gifted magician, but it's a pity that Demacia can't tolerate such a person!"
When Furs said this, Xiao Yuebai suddenly asked curiously: "Then why don't you go to Silas, I heard Porzin's father say that he brought your mage to make a big fuss in Xiongdu before." ”
Hearing Xiao Yuebai's words, Forth sighed again, and then said faintly:
"Actually, I told them the news, Silas not only made a big fuss in Xiongdu, but also killed the previous king, Gavin III."
"Actually, if you don't know, we oppressed mages should join Silas's camp."
"But I and the people who live here know that Silas's idea is impossible to succeed, and it is absolutely impossible to give the civilians complete freedom without a government, without an army."
"Freedom without restraint will have no positive effect except to produce unlimited, endless riots in people."
"People who would identify with Silas can only say that they are thinking too simply, or that they are too short-sighted."
Xiao Yuebai listened to what Furs said so much, and found that he was indeed a sensible person, and felt that it was okay to help these people.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the queen beside him, and from the other party's eyes, his daughter-in-law also understood her thoughts and nodded in agreement.
