Chapter 68: The Savior of the Village

These few days can be said to be a lucky day for Bruno, because Bruno has met a big man, and that big man is called Yon, one of the few members of the Ionian Parliament. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ionia longs for peace and has no intention of establishing a state, but in such a large area, there must always be some organization in charge. The Ionian Council is an organization established by various tribes and villages in Ionia to govern Ionia, and it is obviously needless to say how important this council is to Ionia.

Bruno didn't know that there was such a member of parliament before, but this is no wonder for him, after all, there are too many low-key members of parliament, and no one knows. There are dozens of members of the council, and Bruno only knows one councilor, Speaker Nicholas and Infinite Sword Saint Yi, as well as Stewart, who has been killed by Yasuo.

The most important thing is that this councilor named Yongen is really low-key, he is dressed so ordinarily that he can't be more ordinary, he is wearing a few old and somewhat whitish clothes, and the weapon for self-defense is not a blood-drinking sword or an endless blade, but a very ordinary iron sword, and there is no majestic look on his face that a superior person should have, and he looks like a very ordinary swordsman.

Although Yon himself is a swordsman who is not weak at all.

Yon claims that Keane was his soldier and says that he values Keane as a soldier, and now that Keane is dead, he wants to visit Keane's village. That's why he found Bruno and wanted Bruno to take him, but he wanted to let him, not an order. And Yon also said that his main task now is to hunt down the traitor Yasuo, and Yasuo has been with Keane for a while, and he should be able to find some clues in Keane's village.

Bruno never thought that a big man like Yon would visit an ordinary soldier, so he was immediately full of affection for this favorite gentle councilor, and was very happy to take Yon there, after all, Keane's death, Bruno was also very sad. And if Yon had caught Yasuo, it would have been a great joy for Ionia. What reason does Bruno have to take Yon with him?

"Lord Yon, you have been hunting Yasuo for two years, and you must know Yasuo. I've always had a question about Yasuo. On the way to Keane's village, Bruno looked at Yon and couldn't help but ask.

I don't know why, looking at Yon's mature and handsome face, Bruno always thinks of Yasuo. Bruno always had the illusion that Yon and Yasuo looked a little similar.

Yon smiled gently, not caring about the identity gap between Bruno and him, and said, "Ask." ”

Bruno said, "I don't understand why Yasuo betrayed Ionia. ”

In fact, no one in Ionia understood why Yasuo betrayed Ionia, and it didn't do Yasuo any good. On top of that, Noxus doesn't seem to have done Yasuo any good. No one knows why Yasuo killed Stewart. Some people may think that since Yasuo has no reason to kill Stewart, then Stewart is not what he killed. It's just that although the motive for killing is indeed the focus of determining whether a person kills or not, if there is no motive for killing, there will be no killing. Speaking of which, it's just a matter of evidence, after all, the evidence that Stewart was killed by Yasuo has been conclusive, and it is so conclusive that it can no longer be chiseled, and there is basically no difference between Yasuo's statement to all of Ionia that Stuart was killed by him.

So it's still the same question, why did Yasuo kill Stewart? Why betray Ionia?

Yon smiled wryly and didn't answer, because he didn't understand either.

"Don't ask me. I'll tell you the truth, I'm the last person in all of Valoran who understands why Yasuo betrayed Ionia. ”

Bruno said: "Why? ”

Yon was silent for a moment, and said calmly, "Because no one knows him better than I do." I know him the best in the world. ”

"He is worthy of being a member of parliament, so wise and profound." Bruno was stunned, completely unable to understand what Yon was saying.

Yon smiled, didn't care, patted Bruno on the shoulder and said, "If you can't figure out some things, don't think about them." When you need to understand, you will always understand. However, we can hasten the arrival of this time, so let's hurry. In the middle of the night, still"

Bruno nodded, feeling that Yon had a point, and immediately sped up his walk.

Soon, the outline of the village appeared in the sight of Yon and Bruno, but Yon couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the village.

The village can be said to be very large, to be precise, the territory under the jurisdiction of the village is very large, about a few hundred square kilometers. But in fact, the village is very small, because the village has less than 100 people, and all the buildings can be seen in full view.

In Ionia, you can see the green that represents life wherever you are, and then Yon can only be yellow now, and in front of Yon, there is a desert.

There is a desert in Ionia!?

No matter how calm Yon's calmness was, he couldn't help but be a little shocked, after all, he had never had a desert in Ionia.

Bruno looked at it but nothing. Although Bruno was happy to know Yon, Bruno knew that today was not a good day, and when he looked up, he could see the blood-colored crescent.

Tonight is the bloody night of Noxus.

The Noxus Centennial Celebration is clearly not a good day for Ionia. Bruno was still able to talk to Yon very well, though, because he didn't care how bad the Scarlet Night was for Ionia. Nothing could be worse for his village than its imminent disappearance.

Bruno looked at the desert in front of him and smiled, though Bruno's smile was as bitter as the desert cactus.

"Two years ago, the village was very beautiful, and there were many villagers, and it was completely a paradise. But after the energy crystal was targeted by Noxus, nearly ninety percent of the people in the village died, after all, Noxus would not put down his butcher's knife just because the other party was with a defenseless old man or child. The remaining few hundred people were not much better, because after the energy crystal was robbed, the village has been decaying, and the grassland has become a desert, making it difficult to survive, so they have to leave and live a homeless life. What is even more pitiful is the dozens of old people who are still staying in the village, they would rather die than leave the village, and they will stay there for the rest of their lives. They are indeed respectable, but too much is actually that they have nothing, and the village is their only remaining faith. ”

Yon was silent, listening carefully to Bruno's words, and it was not until several seconds after Bruno finished speaking that Yon interrupted his silence, but it was only a simple sentence: "Let's go, go in." ”

Bruno nodded, but didn't speak, because the atmosphere was so heavy that no one wanted to speak.

After entering the village, Yongen saw several skinny old men digging grass roots on the ground to eat, Yongen didn't know how those old people's teeth chewed and moved this hard and tough grass root, and he couldn't imagine it at all.

"Hey, look, guys. Isn't that Bruno? Among the old men, there was a scrawny old man who didn't have much strength to walk, but when he saw Yon and Bruno, he didn't know the strength he was coming from, so he screamed for fear that Bruno wouldn't hear.

"It's really Bruno!" The other old men heard the old man's voice and saw Bruno, and their faces were pale from the extreme lack of nutrients, and they all walked towards Bruno.

Bruno looked at the ruined village and the villagers who came over, and his heart was at peace, because home had arrived.

"Bruno, you're back. How's it going? ”

"Bruno, why are you back? It can't be that you went to the battlefield and got injured and retired, right? ”

Ignoring their hunger, the villagers greeted Bruno one by one.

Bruno couldn't answer at all, but he felt warm in his heart, and his hand couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.

"Bruno, what are you crying about? It can't be that he was really injured and can't go to the battlefield again, so he ran back, right? Seeing Bruno make such a move, the skinny old man who first found Bruno just now was anxious and couldn't help asking.

"No, it's not......" Bruno hurriedly shook his head in denial.

"Then why did you get back? Are you a deserter!? ”

Bruno was faced with a barrage of questions, and he couldn't answer.

"He's homesick, so I'm giving him a leave of absence to let him go home." Yongen on the side smiled, and suddenly relieved Bruno.

Only then did the villagers understand that they were relieved, and then asked, "Bruno, who is this?" ”

"Oh, this is Lord Yon, the council ......" Bruno introduced Yonn to the villagers, but was about to reach the councillor when he suddenly felt a force press his throat, leaving him speechless.

"I'm Bruno's chief." Yon added. It wasn't until he finished speaking that Bruno felt the energy in his throat disappear before he could speak.

"Oh, it's Bruno's chief. Why didn't you say earlier that a guest came to Bruno? An old woman couldn't help complaining about Bruno, and then stretched out her wrinkled hand and took out a steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to Yong'en, saying, "Thank you so much, sir, for taking such good care of Bruno." This is a little bit of caution, and I hope you will try it, sir. ”

It is said to be a steamed bun, but in fact it is only half a steamed bun, a little black and cracked, you can see that there is no trace of water, it has been dried for a long time, and it is as hard as a stone.

Yon looked at it and didn't take it. It's not that he thinks this steamed bun is unpalatable, it's that he thinks this steamed bun is really a bit heavy, after all, no matter how unpalatable this steamed bun is, it is still food, and it is better than those grass roots that can't be eaten at all and still have mud.

"You bad old woman, what is it bad to take, you actually take this kind of thing, how can the chief eat such a thing?" The skinny old man scolded the old woman, and reached out to snatch the steamed bun from the old woman's hand.

The old woman was embarrassed for a while, and thought to herself, how could people eat that steamed bun that was as hard as a stone, although that steamed bun was a delicacy that she couldn't eat a few times a month.

However, the scrawny old man had not yet taken the steamed bun, and one hand grabbed his hand.

It was Yon's hand.

Yongen took the steamed bun in his other hand, didn't say anything, opened his mouth and bit it.
