Chapter 845: The Punisher in the Valley
Punisher......
The title reminded Rod of a Marvel hero — a name he had never heard of in Valoran.
There is no mention of it in League of Legends, and the information gathered in advance is not mentioned.
And looking at the attitude of the clerk in front of her, this punisher lady is obviously not a negative character.
A man who kills in public, but does not cause much panic, and even makes the clerk, a grassroots "civil servant" of Ionia, pay respect, this punisher - also a superhero?
Rod inexplicably felt a little bit of a channel......
Intrigued, Rhodes inquired about the punisher - and the clerk didn't hide it, answering all questions.
The punisher was a woman who had been masked all the time.
About a year ago, the Punisher first shot in the Castle was killed by a wealthy businessman who hired an entire team of bodyguards - and just as the local guards were belated, the killer not only did not leave, but instead brought out a stack of documents.
According to the information, the wealthy merchant who was killed was a spy of Noxus, and had provided maps for the Noxians during the invasion - and the so-called bodyguards were also disguised by the Noxian elite.
This situation caught the defenders by surprise.
In the end, it was the local elders who stepped in, and after investigating everything, they found that the evidence and information were true, and after some deliberation, they declared it a righteous assassination.
Not murder, but assassination.
In Ionia, revenge is one of the few grounds that can be allowed to hurt others, and revenge for the Noxians...... All Ionians are eligible for this.
However, just when everyone thought the turmoil had subsided, the Punisher struck again - this time the owner of an inn who had died, and according to the evidence she had given, the owner was none other than a war craftsman in Noxus.
But...... This boss is not an outsider!
Borij Jr. was born and raised in the city, and he was even tortured during the Noxians invasion of the city, and it was unacceptable to say that he was a Noxian war craftsman.
This caused an uproar again - and it was only when the Guardians rescued the severed tongue of the Zhen Boriu in the basement of the inn that people realized how terrible the War Craftsmen really were.
According to Bori's account, the Noxians cut out his tongue and used it to create a potion that could transform into him, and imitate his voice exactly.
The only drawback of the potion is that the person whose tongue has been cut out still needs to be alive for the potion to take effect—and because of this, Boriyi is able to survive in the basement.
Since then, the attitude of the people of the Waili towards the punisher has been polarized.
Some admire the Punishers - they believe that the Punisher is the true hero, executing the great revenge of Ionia.
Of course, there are also those who believe that the existence of the Punisher is a discordant existence beyond the Ionian rules, and even secretly send someone to report the Equilibrium Sect.
To the surprise of these people, the Equilibrium Sect did not react to this matter, and even acquiesced in the actions of the Punisher.
Thus, the Punisher finally resided at the Inn in Bori.
Today, the clerk went out because the punisher killed another person, and he needed to judge and register according to the evidence given by the punisher.
While talking, Rhodes and the talkative clerk finally came to a fork in the road—Rhodes needed to find an inn to stay in, and the clerk was going home.
At the end of his farewell, Rhodes thanked the clerk, who finally reminded him that if Rhodes chose to stay at the Borriy Inn, it would be better not to stay in the lobby.
"A lot of people have complained that blood is hard to clean—the biggest problem with the Punisher is that she never cares if anyone around her target will get blood spilled because of it."
"But it's also for this reason that the Boriyi Inn is cheap."
Rod's robes looked gray, and the clerk apparently thought he was not in a good financial situation because of the salty "smell of sea" on his whole body after a long journey.
For the clerk's kindness, Rod nodded to show that he understood, and then decisively went to another inn.
Punisher...... Sounds cool.
But what does this have to do with me Rhodes?
Rhodes is very busy right now - it's better to have as few unplanned things as possible.
……………………
According to Rod's meaning, after he came to Ionia, he should have followed a caravan or something else to find traces of the Equilibrium Sect.
According to Rod's understanding, although the Ionian Equilibrium Sect can be regarded as well-known, it ...... Very few people actually have access to the core of the sect.
In this case, Rhodes' best bet if he wanted to ask the Twilight Eyes for help was to contact the official Ionian figure and make a trade request as the lord of Fuguang Island.
It's just that Ionia is so closed that Rhodes doesn't even know who has the final say in Ionia now - he only knows that Ionia has a serious conflict between conservatives and radicals, but other than that, he knows very little about the specific situation.
And Weili ...... Although it is a very important foreign port of Ionia, the administrative level is terrifyingly low - there is only a guardian army formed by the Weili people, and this force has only one sword master from the [Sea Tide Sword Sect] for simple guidance and training.
To say that it is a compliment to say that it is a militia.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect to directly contact the Ionian officials in Weili, and Rhodes will rest here for one night, and tomorrow he will find out where the big cities are, and then leave directly.
Well, then again, it's a really unpleasant taste to sit on a magic flying carpet in the sky to find a port city - the sea breeze in Ionia is no different from that of Bilgewater, salty and fishy.
Finding an inn that seemed to be in decent condition, Rhodes inquired about the price of the lodging - luckily, the inn accepted both gold and snake coins.
Opened the best room, Rhodes ordered a big meal, and when ordering, the service staff also intimately asked Rhodes if he was a vegetarian.
In this regard, Rhodes naturally categorically denied it.
And after paying a gold hex, Rod enjoyed a turtle feast.
After feasting, Rhodes walked around and returned to the inn to meditate and rest—and in the middle of the night, just after Rhodes had entered a meditative state, an uninvited guest came outside Rhodes' room.
