"War, Mr. Giancarlo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lux and I are very clear about the purpose of Noxus doing this, which is why Lux is so anxious and desperate to come to Ionia. We must form a big alliance to deal with the threat of aggression from Noxus. ”

For these movements of Noxus, any person with normal intelligence could understand what would happen next, so the 'explorer' answered the old man's question without hesitation.

"Yes, form a big alliance, but we'll talk about that later." Giancarolio paused for a moment, then turned the conversation back to Noxus: "If Noxus were to choose a suitable opponent to start a war." Who will he choose? ”

The old man's question was so simple that it took him a lot of time before he hesitated to answer, "Of course, it's Lux's hometown, the Federated States of Demacia... Yikes. ”

Giancaro did not immediately comment on this, but deepened the fading Noxus movement on the table again with tea, and kept muttering to himself in the process: "Yes~ Demacia, you see that there is a fork in Mogro Pass; Close the border to pass, and the Iron Ridge Mountains will also be crossed; So if Noxus were to attack Demacia, that little girl's hometown wouldn't get any support, wouldn't it? ”

Ezreal listened to the old man's strange tone of self-muttering, and he could only nod stiffly for some reason.

"So what is the purpose of locking down the Sea of Guardians? Just to have some fun with their already resource-poor navy? Well? Giancaro seemed to think of the years in parliament again, and there was a clear emotion in his voice.

The old man, who was an elder, obviously didn't deliberately ridicule himself, so Ezreal couldn't help but follow the old man's fingers and began to think about it at a deeper level. And the thought that popped into his mind made his eyes suddenly widen, and his face was full of disbelief.

Ezreal's expression was very pleasing to the old man, and Giancaro smiled and told him what he had guessed in his heart: "If Demacia is invaded, all aid from other countries and city-states will be cut off, then can it be assumed that when Noxus starts a war elsewhere, all aid from Demacia will also be cut off?!" ”

The Wise Giancarlo's emotions gradually became so agitated that he no longer paid attention to recuperating his body, and his speech was not deliberately divided into several words.

The old man's bold guess made Ezreal want to speak as if he was stuck in the neck, and he tried several times before he finally succeeded in speaking up: "Mr. Giancarlo, what do you mean...... The target of Noxus is、Is it Ionia? But Ionia still has Piltover, and Bill ...... Belch. ”

Giancarlo, who was emotional, looked at the young man opposite with appreciative eyes and said in a deep voice, "Very good. At least you dare to speak this assumption, unlike those who make a fool of themselves. We don't have to think about that pirate country, whether it is their nature or the Noxian navy in front of them, they will make a wise choice, as long as these guys don't come to take advantage of the fire later! ”

The excited old man, already a little out of breath, still continued: "As for Piltover, the boy of the Capet, have you forgotten something? If Zaun is willing to contain you, what else can Piltover support Ionia with the power of a city-state? ”

"This ...... This ......" Ezreal was speechless at the old man's speculation.

Although he wanted to convince himself that this was just an old man's delusion, he had already approved of this statement in his heart.

Taking advantage of Ezreal's time to digest this speculation, Giancaro also calmed down his excitement slightly, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity! The elders of the council, who advocate false peace and only cultivate immortals for themselves, thought that what they were arguing about now was whether to provide support to the 'poor', invaded Demacia in the future! ”

"If you don't take this opportunity to form an alliance with Demacia, then what awaits Ionia will only be the iron hooves of the invaders!" The old man, who had just calmed down, spoke of the elders in the council who thought they only knew how to protect themselves, and his anger surged again, and he slammed his fist on the table, making a loud 'bang'.

Outside the garden gate, the waiter, who heard the movement, came up and knocked softly, but was hitting the muzzle of the gun.

"Go down!" Giancarlo, who was surging in anger, gave a scolding and made the waiter retreat.

There was an indescribable silence, and for a moment there was no sound in the garden except for the panting sound of the old man's violently heaving chest.

After a while, Ezreal, who had completely digested the news, finally remembered something, and broke the silence and said, "That... Mr. Giancarlo, what can you do if you brought me here? ”

The old man looked into the eyes of the puzzled Ezreal for a moment before he spoke: "My suspicion has been written to inform your father, but I don't know if he can pass through the blockade of Noxus and pass the news to the king of Demacia." ”

"And I also hope that the girl from Demacia has some way to contact her king, so that we can pass the conversation back to Demacia, so that her king will not be deceived by Noxus's feints." Ian Caro is one of the few politically minded elders in Ionia, and he has been working hard to find a way out for Ionia.

Ezreal on the other side was about to tell the old man that they didn't actually have any tools to contact Demacia, but after thinking about it, if there was, it must be Lux's top secret, and maybe he wouldn't tell anyone else.

Just like the space necklace she hid on her body, containing the national letter of Demacia.

So Ezreal changed his words for a moment before he spoke: "If, uh... I mean, what if Lux doesn't have a device to connect with Demacia? ”

"If that's the case, I'll have to work hard for you. Get out of the place that is about to be blocked by the invaders as soon as possible, find a way to pass through the pass of Noxus, and get the news back to Demacia as quickly as possible. Elder Giancarlo laid out his plan.

"It's just a pity...... My ideas and those of your father, as well as some of the other councillors, did not come to fruition any sooner. There was an unconcealable depression in the old man's words.

At this point in the conversation, Ezreal didn't know whether to get up and say goodbye to get back to the embassy as soon as possible, or stay and listen to the old man's obvious words, so he touched his nose and hesitated.

Fortunately, Elder Giancaro solved this problem for him: "Let's sit with the old man for a while, you return to the embassy now, there is no more effect than to make your companions more anxious." Perhaps tomorrow the parliament will give a final decision. ”

"Yes, Mr. Giancarlo." Ezreal thought about it, and if this was the case, he didn't rush to leave, and continued to stay to listen to the organization related to his father, which the old man kept mentioning: "Then you and my father, what can change the mind of Noxus?" ”

Take out some fish food from the drawer next to the table and throw it evenly in the pond, attracting those fish to the surface to compete for food.

Then clapping his hands, slapping all the crumbs on his hands into the pond, Giancarlo slowly got up, and seeing that the old man who had just been excited was a little sleepy to get up, Ezreal hurriedly left his chair and stepped forward to help the respectable wise old man up.

Then he followed the old man and walked slowly through the small garden, admiring the plants carefully tended by the waiter, and at the same time listening to the teachings.

"Our idea was simple. On this continent, except for the warlike Noxus Empire, which believes in the god of war, the rest of the kingdoms and city-states want a peaceful environment. Therefore, we have formed an organization that includes high-ranking councilors from several major city-states on the mainland, hoping to promote the establishment of a new arbitration institution on the mainland, or an alliance of city-states! After thinking about it, Elder Giancaro decided to let the Capet kid know in advance.

After a long speech at a time, and after a short break, the old man continued: "The city-states that join the alliance should deal with their disputes in a manner permitted by the alliance. And after the alliance is formed, all the city-states should cooperate more closely with each other to deal with the changes brought about by natural or mystical forces in the Runeterrae Continent that cause environmental degradation. Otherwise, even if Noxus finally unified the continent, all he would get was a world full of holes and about to be destroyed. ”

Speaking of this, Elder Giancaro stopped his progress and turned back to Ezreal and asked, "Kid of the Capet family, as an excellent 'explorer', the experience of running around the continent these days should give you a deep understanding of the forces that degrade the environment on the Rune Continent, right?" ”

nodded, although there were some slight words and some sighs at the old man's description of his adventure trip as running around the continent, are the ideals of young people so not understood by the elders?

However, I still agree with Elder Giancarlo's statement about the environment of the continent, and the Rune Continent has gone through countless wars, natural disasters, and the destruction of mysterious forces, and the space that can be used for human beings to live has indeed been greatly reduced compared to the previous historical records.

Take the south of the majestic barrier as an example, except for the Radnip Valley, where the yodelers lived, there was no place in the other large land suitable for human beings to survive in large numbers and form a city-state or kingdom.

And just in the last era, in the desert of Shurima in the midst of yellow sand, there was a great empire!
