Chapter 28: Carter's stubbornness

After leaving the small hotel, the mayor of Qingshan Town immediately returned to his mayor's office, standing in front of the window and looking in the direction of the three of Aix, a little distracted, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Suddenly, the puppet bird flew out of the small inn, and just in time for him to see it, the mayor suddenly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and put one eye in his mouth, while someone next to him was already holding a fire and helping him light it.

The mayor took a sharp breath, and after fully circulating in his lungs, he slowly spit it out, and said in a low voice: "It seems that these little guys should be from the outside, and they came here just for a meeting, and they don't have any clear purpose." However, looking at their appearance, the forces behind them should not be small, but they are still the local forces of Ionia, maybe they are the young master and miss of that family. ”

"No matter who it is, as long as it's not in the same league as the other party, we're still too passive now." Said the man who helped the mayor light a cigarette.

"yes!" The mayor took another puff of his cigarette and said, "When are you going to go back, will it make them suspicious if it's too late?" ”

"It's okay, maybe the later I go back, the more reassured they are, and the safer I will be."

"Be careful, if you are discovered, you must save your life first, even if you tell our secret, it is nothing, a few old brothers, there are only a few of us left, I don't want you to die not in the war with Noxus, but at the hands of your own people." The mayor said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

The mayor sighed heavily as he watched his brother walk out of the room, knowing his temper, even if he lost his life, he must complete the task, which has even become an obsession.

After Carter released the puppet bird, the puppet bird headed all the way to its goal, and a day later, the puppet bird reached its destination and landed on a wooden shelf. And soon, a servant noticed the arrival of the little bird, ran over quickly, untied the information tied to the bird's leg, and after glancing at the rank, immediately ran towards the residence of the head of the family, because this was the first urgent information from the eldest young master in three years.

In a small wooden building, a middle-aged man was drinking tea, saw the information in the servant's hand, frowned slightly, glanced at the person sitting opposite, nodded apologetically, got up and walked towards the servant, but after a glance at the news, he went directly back to his original seat.

"Is it little Carter's news?" Carter's father hadn't sat down yet, and the person sitting across from him asked directly.

"Yes, Master Yi." Sitting opposite Carter's father was none other than Master Infinite Sword Saint Yi, who returned directly to Ionia after getting rid of Noxus's entanglement, and instead of looking for Carter, he came to Carter's family.

"What does the letter say?" Master Yi asked.

"Nothing, somehow, Carter actually asked me about the recent political situation in Ionia, and if there was something wrong with Ionia. Master Yi, has Carter started to care about current affairs lately? Otherwise, how could there be a special letter asking about these things. Carter's father asked, puzzled. With his understanding of his son, he would never care about these things, could it be that his son has changed so much after three years?

"The political situation? It seems that they have also encountered it, but it is also normal, and judging by their place of entry, it is not a strange thing to encounter it. ”

"I don't know, Master Yi, what is your position?" Carter's father asked tentatively.

"I don't understand politics and I don't have a position, as long as Ionia can get better, I won't object." Master Yi didn't say anything, as a wanderer, he only cared about how to improve his strength, as for the rest, he would only distract himself.

"Do you think I'm going to tell Carter about Ionia, then?" Carter's father didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for his son to join in, and besides, after three years of cultivation, he seemed to have some confusion about his son, so he could only ask Master Yi's opinion.

Master Yi didn't answer right away, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Is he alone now, or with the two companions who came to Ionia with him?" ”

"The letter said that he was going to accompany his friends to Moon Spring, so he should be with the two friends you said!" Carter's father was a little puzzled and didn't know why Master Yi asked this, but he still answered Master Yi's question honestly based on the information on the letter.

"So the little guy is with him." Master Yi suddenly raised his head, looked at Carter's father, and said, "Tell them the situation in Ionia as it is, and let them judge for themselves what to do!" Young birds always have to go through wind and rain before their wings can become stronger. ”

"Okay, I'll have someone do it, and I'll pass the message to him right away. I just don't know, Master, who is that little guy in your mouth? Carter's father asked curiously, because according to Master Yi's tone just now, he seemed to appreciate the little guy very much, and even he felt that it was because of the existence of that little guy that Master Yi would let him pass the news over.

"That little one? Well, it's a funny little guy. Master Yi said with a smile, but Carter's father was confused, what is an interesting little guy.

In less than three days, the three of Aix got the information they wanted, looking at the dense small words on the paper, even Ax was dizzy for a while, and he didn't expect that the current situation in Ionia would be so complicated.

In general, Ionia is now divided into three forces. One is the conservative forces that advocate a return to the original track of Ionia, and they hope that Ionia should now recuperate, not make any big moves, and restore its strength is the top priority. On the other hand, the radicals are very extreme, and some of them propose to unite with other city-states to deal with Noxus, or cut off all contact with the outside world and seal off the whole of Ionia. On the other hand, there are reformers who advocate reform, hoping to make Ionia strong by changing the system of the past.

Among them, the conservative forces are mainly composed of the Ionian family, and their influence in Ionia is deep-rooted, and of course they do not want a major change in the composition of Ionia's power. The radical forces are the ones who have suffered great damage in the war with Noxus, and they have made a Hummer contribution in the battle with Noxus, and now they have the actual power of Ionia. The reformers, on the other hand, were those who played a decisive role in the war with Noxus, who had no interest in power, but who had great prestige among the people. But they are also the most confused people, because the road to prosperity and strength of a city-state is definitely not so easy to find.

"You Ionia are really messy enough, fortunately the alliance still has a certain binding force now, otherwise, you will definitely not be able to stop Noxus now." After reading this information, Aix said mercilessly.

And Carter was also silent for a while, never thinking that his country would be in such a state now.

"Now I know why this town is the way it is." Seeing that Carter was not in high spirits, Aix immediately changed the subject.

"Why?" Tina asked tacitly, and Carter had to put his mind down and listen to Aix's analysis of the current situation of the three of them.

"Obviously, this is the local extension of your ruling class, the mayor is supposed to be conservative, and those who gather on the green hills are clearly radicals. And the temple on the mountain is obviously bewitched by those radicals, and it is obviously helping those radicals, and where do ordinary people know so much, coupled with their trust in the temple, of course, they follow the footsteps of the temple's practitioners. After Aix finished speaking, he threw the information in his hand on the table, and his mood for wanting to meddle in the affairs of this place also faded, after all, no matter what choice the people of Ionia made, it was their freedom, and there seemed to be little room for an outsider to interfere.

"No, I don't believe it, why did the temple no longer remain neutral, even interfered in local affairs, and even gathered a large part of the people, disobeying the leadership of the mayor, what is the difference between this and independence, if it continues to develop like this, I don't know if Ionia will split, but it will definitely become weaker, maybe by the time of the next Noxian invasion, Ionia may cease to exist." Carter still didn't give up.

"What else do you want to do? The current situation is obvious, the matter here is not something we can meddle in, one is not good, it will definitely become a public enemy, not to mention that the two of us are still outsiders, our identity is destined not to be trusted by the locals, once something happens, we are definitely a punching bag. Aix persuaded again, and tried his best to distance himself from the relationship, for fear that one bad one would fall into it.

"I'm sorry, I have to figure out this matter, tomorrow I will go to the top of the green mountains to have a look, you can stay here, it just so happens that I don't want to implicate you in this matter, after all, this is our Ionian internal affairs." Carter looked at Ax with a firm look in his eyes and said, it seems that he is already determined to take a look for himself.

After Carter finished speaking, he glanced at Ax and Tina, and walked out of the room directly. The two looked at Carter's back and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so they could only watch him leave.

"What are we going to do? Really leave him alone and let him go to that Qingshan to take an adventure by himself? Tina asked, looking at Ax because, as she knew, Ax wasn't the kind of person to give up on friends.

Ax shrugged his shoulders at Tina's question, looking helpless, and finally walked out of the room, but soon came back again, because he forgot that this was his room.
