Chapter 34: The Human Heart is Unfathomable

Almu had been lost for many years, and after the capture of Noxus, it was renamed Lorraine, and a large number of troops were sent to settle here, so the actual population of this place was not large. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoEach border town has an army stationed in case of a surprise attack by Demacia.

But that was all in the past, and now that the eastern barrier of Demacia, Faust's fortress, had fallen into the hands of Noxus, and there was no need for so many soldiers to garrison the border towns. The border troops who had been stationed in the past had arrived in Faust, and the town inside became more and more deserted.

The town of Kapok is located in the eastern part of Lorraine, next to a large river called the Rhône, which crosses six counties and is 3,848 kilometers long, and the great river rushes straight to the sea of conquerors. The Rhône can be called the mother river of Noxus, and it is through this river that the small and dilapidated tribes of the past have become a famous military power on the continent of Valoran.

When the river goes east, when it finally ends, the source of the Rhône has a large stone, on which is engraved its length, and the place of origin: the town of Kapok.

An insignificant, unattended border town.

Galen and his men hid at the source of the river, preparing to follow the river straight into the territory of Noxus.

The wind was cold at night, and the stars in the sky were hidden. A group of people pondered around the beeping bonfire, and the horses were driven to the river, some lying on their stomachs, some standing, some gnawing grass, some drinking.

The human mind is usually complex and changeable, and although Galen seems to be rough, he is not a heartless person after all. His face was melancholy, as if he was thinking about something.

Vayne was alone away from the crowd, and she felt her crossbow and carefully examined the bolts inside. As a woman, she was clearly worried about what Galen was worried about, but something had to be decided.

Several of Hua Lilang's subordinates had consulted Galen more than once about the whereabouts of their leader, but Galen sent them to guard the horses.

After this dark night, if Hua Li Lang hadn't arrived yet, they would have to leave. As the leader of these soldiers, Galen knew exactly what his mission was on this trip! His will will never change because of an individual, even if that person is his brother.

The long night had finally passed, and the sky was white, and Galen shouted to his men to get ready to go on their way. The soldiers inspected their horses and packed their bags. When Galen climbed into his horse and shouted to his men to advance, he glanced back at the rear, where there was no one coming.

A howling wind sounded in his ears, and Galen pulled the reins and shouted in the wind: "Go!" ”

The troops were on the road again, this time away from the official road and continuing to go deeper under the leadership of Hala and Qiao Fei.

In a few days, they went through several counties and sent people into the city in disguise several times to investigate, and finally found out the whereabouts of the prince. Svein sent his general Urgart to escort Prince Gavin back to the capital to invite merit, and they did not hide their whereabouts, swaggering along the way, and they must enter every city.

In every county town, Urgart would parade Gavin on the streets, which attracted a large number of people to watch.

When the populace learned that the prince of Demacia was being held in the cage, everyone cheered, throwing rotten eggs at Gavin, throwing rotten water, and insulting the prince of Demacia. Urgat loudly proclaimed in the streets that Prince Gavin was the spoils of the great General Svein, and that he would be escorted to the capital to stand trial!

The crowd shouted one cheer after another, and some even shouted that they must kill Gavin!

Hua Li Lang was wearing tattered leather armor and a dirty leather hat, blending in the crowd, silently looking at the excited and angry appearance of the crowd below, he thought in his heart: In the noise and abuse, there is a hidden hatred that is hard to remember, and the people are just tools used by the superiors.

Feeling that someone was pushing him, Hua Li Lang did not continue to move forward, he took a step back, and let these people chase the prisoner cart away.

Hua Li Lang couldn't catch up with Galen's team that day, but he knew the purpose of Galen's mission. As long as you find Gavin's location, you will definitely be able to find Galen hidden in the shadows.

In order not to be discovered, Hua Li Lang sold his war horse and found a merchant in the black market to exchange for a road guide. In order not to be obtrusive, he specially found a tattered clothes with local style to change into. Now he looks like a wandering samurai, swaggering down the street, and no one pays attention to him.

Hua Li Lang didn't know how Galen was doing, anyway, he mixed well himself, and the money from selling horses was eaten and drunk by him all the way, and he was about to run out, but he was not in a hurry at all, because he already felt that Galen was hiding nearby.

Randomly found a hotel, Hua Li Lang swaggered in, patted the table and shouted loudly to the boss, and when the boss came, he took it out of his arms, lined up a few big bucks on the counter, and shouted: "I want a good upper room!" ”

"I'm sorry officer, but your copper coins are only enough to live in a stables in the backyard."

Hua Li Lang was not very satisfied with the boss's answer, he picked his head a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "The horse shed is the horse shed!" ”

After the waiter led Hua Li Lang to the backyard, the boss snorted disdainfully and muttered in a low voice: "Poor ghost! ”

After driving the waiter away, Hua Li Lang glanced left and right and found that several horses kept in the shed seemed to be looking at him curiously. Hua Li Lang stretched out his hand and said hello: "Hi! ”

The horses also seemed to sense that this man was a little unreasonable, so they all buried their heads in the grain in their troughs. Hua Li Lang looked left and right, and suddenly covered his nose: "This place really stinks!" ”

The shopkeeper would not let Hua Li Lang live in a real horse shed, the place where he lived was actually a firewood house, but it was adjacent to the horse shed. Hua Li Lang endured the discomfort, got up and closed the door, sat cross-legged on the firewood, and began to concentrate on using the insight technique.

Although Insight is magical, it is harsh to use, and generally requires a relatively quiet environment to be activated without being disturbed by people. Of course, this is also related to the fact that his mental power is too weak, but he now has an extra treasure on his body, which can greatly enhance his spiritual strength.

This treasure is the gadget that the mysterious Malzaha gave to him when he was leaving, Hua Li Lang accidentally found that this thing was very helpful to himself with his insight, so he found a rope to wear and hang it around his neck. It was like a glittering drop of water, shaped like a tear, transparent during the day and blue at night, and felt refreshed by the close-fitting touch. Although Hua Li Lang didn't know what the name of this thing was, as long as it was beneficial, he would definitely make good use of it.

Hua Li Lang closed his eyes and cast the art of insight, his soul seemed to fly to the sky in an instant, his vision became very large, and he began to look for traces of Galen and his party around the town.

This kind of investigation on a large scale is very mentally demanding. Hua Li Lang couldn't last long even with the help of his baby, but this time he seemed to be lucky.

On the outskirts of the city, he saw a sneaky chick with a giant crossbow on her back, hiding in a tree and watching for something.

Hua Li Lang smiled, and quickly withdrew from the large-scale supervision, he focused his eyes on one point through his mental power, and finally saw the girl's appearance clearly!

"Hey...... Little Wayne, I can't imagine that my brother is spying on you! Hua Li Lang laughed twice, and Wayne, who was hiding in the tree to observe, suddenly felt something, suddenly opened his eyes wide and searched back and forth, and shouted in his mouth: "Who! ”

Hua Li Lang was shocked, and quickly stopped his insight technique, he didn't expect that this chick who likes to wear black clothes would be able to detect his prying eyes. This incident reminded him that it was not so safe to use insight. But this chick who likes to play with crossbows doesn't seem to be weak!

Although the insight technique was suspended, Hua Li Lang already knew where Galen was. He quietly took off his coat, made a human shape out of hay, and wrapped his coat around the straw man. After putting the straw man down, Hua Li Lang sneaked out.

Behind the horse shed is the courtyard wall, Hua Li Lang jumped directly on the courtyard wall, and then climbed over the wall.

In a raving ten miles from the city, Galen and his men were hiding in it. After listening to the information that Hala heard from the city, Galen smashed his fist on the rock, and said angrily: "This Urgart is still grinding in the city, isn't he going to escort the prince back to the capital?" Why don't you move yet! ”

Galen couldn't understand this Ergarth's thinking at all, and it stands to reason that he should secretly send the prince back to the capital as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. But along the way, he had to delay for several days every time he arrived in a city, and at this pace of marching, he didn't know that he would be able to send Jiawen back to the capital in the year of the monkey. As soon as Urgatte delayed like this, Galen and the others couldn't find a chance to make a move, so they all held back their anger.

Galen was on fire, and a cold voice came from behind him: "I may have guessed what Urgart was trying to do. ”

Galen looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Wayne, who had just returned. Seeing Galen's puzzled look, Wayne spoke, "Ergat's purpose is to deal with Svein!" ”

"Svein?" Galen looked incredulous.

"The general may not know about the man, but the information about this man often appears to me. He and Darius are known as the two new stars of the Noxus military, but unlike Darius, his mentor is Dukao, and not long ago, I heard the news: Durio has been activated once again, and has been appointed by the king of Noxus as the deputy minister of the military aircraft department! ”

"What!" Hearing that Durio was once again being reused, Galen's face changed drastically. He couldn't understand how an old ghost who had lost his position could turn over again!

You must know that the reason for Dukao's resignation that year was the discord with Svein. Now that Svein is being put to good use and has fought a very beautiful battle, it is completely unreasonable for the king of Noxus to use Dukao at this juncture!

Wayne sneered and said, "According to the news from the nightingale from the capital city of Noxus, the old king of Noxus seems to be getting worse and worse recently!" ”

"I see!" In an instant, Galen figured out the whole story.

He was a little surprised and said, "So, Urgarte is actually harming him by wantonly publicizing Svein's merits all the way with the prince?" ”
