Chapter 52: Strong and Vulnerable
Irelia had just woken up, still a little confused. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć She looked at the ceiling with both eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How's it going?" ā
Lin Zhao couldn't understand what Irelia was asking, but the two soldiers immediately understood. One of the soldiers replied, "Lord Irelia, the Noxians and we have suffered heavy casualties, and the Noxians are not aware of your injuries. Now there is a temporary truce. ā
"Hmm." Irelia whispered, then asked, "Has the doctor seen it, when will my injuries heal?" ā
"Master Soraka has been here, and said that in half a day, she will come and heal you completely." The soldier replied.
"That's good." There was a deep worry in Irelia's eyes, "I hope that the Noxians will not attack again for half a day." ā
"Rest assured, Lord Irelia. They are also badly injured and need to rest. One of the soldiers reassured, "If you attack rashly without resting, I think the walls of Presidium will be enough to repel them." ā
"I hope it's as you say." Irelia sighed, "You two should take a break, too." After fighting for so long, you are also tired. ā
The two soldiers were really tired and didn't refuse Irelia's kindness. They thanked Irelia and walked to the corner and sat down with their backs against the wall. One of the soldiers sat next to the chair Lin Zhao was sitting on, still guarding against Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao was a little speechless, but he couldn't say anything. For such a conscientious soldier, even if he says anything, he is afraid that it will be useless.
"Master?" Irelia on the hospital bed spoke suddenly.
Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Irelia to talk to him, and he would even use the title that made him shiver.
Until now, only a Noxianian would have said this title to him.
"You know me?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Master." Irelia was still weak, so she could only whisper, "When Lady Sindra came to Presidium to ask the Wizards' Guild to rescue the Master, she briefly told her about the Master's situation. Later, Elder Claude rescued the Master back to Presidium, and once praised the Master's strength very sincerely, saying that you are enough to become an elder and join the Council of Elders in Ionia. Later, I paid attention to the past of some masters and discovered their former works. ā
Lin Zhao kept his mouth shut, he actually didn't want to hear anything about that sculpture now, and even hoped that he had never done that **** thing, and had never brought that work to this world.
"Master, I have a question for you." Irelia also seemed to regard Lin Zhao as a prophet, and asked, "My elder brother Zeros, after the outbreak of war, led his troops to Demacia to ask for help. Now, however, after all this time, I have not found a trace of him, and the people of Demacia say that they have not seen him in the city-state. Master, can you tell me how he is now, where is he? ā
This question made Lin Zhao a little entangled. In the game's backstory that he knew, Zelos never appeared, and it is unknown if he had an accident on the way to Demacia, had died, or had been forgotten by Riot in the pile of old papers. On the one hand, he didn't want to tell Irelia the truth, so that the straw in Irelia's heart would be crushed by him; On the other hand, he now wants to dissociate himself from the word "prophecy" and never wants to talk about anything related to it anymore.
He pondered his words in his mind for a long time, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Irelia, I don't have the talent to see the trajectory of everything from the infinite possibilities of the future. That work is just a coincidence. If I really have that ability, how can I be discovered by the Noxians and caught by them? ā
Irelia was silent.
Lin Zhao thought for a moment and continued, "Lord Irelia, fate has always been illusory. In this world, everything has infinite possibilities for development. Cause and effect, there is a choice, there is cause and effect, but everyone's choice is in his subjective thoughts, and the cause and effect produced are full of unpredictable possibilities. How can I see and see such a huge amount of information? ā
Irelia was silent, and after a long moment, she smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, Master, for embarrassing you. I should have understood what you said. Otherwise, the Noxians wouldn't have been so casual with you, putting you in a cage in the Colosseum. But...... I'm just not reconciled. I really want to know my brother's whereabouts. ā
"Then bless him and wish him all the best of luck."
Although idealism is unrealistic, now Lin Zhao can only say this.
"Thank you, Master." Irelia said sincerely, "Master, can we defend Presidium from the Noxians' onslaught?" ā
"You're still used to treating me like a prophet." Lin Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighed, and said, "What's the use of asking me about these things." Now Presidium, and all of Ionia, have been driven to the edge of a precipice by the Noxians. Only when you unite and work together to fight against the odds can you have hope. Do you need to think about anything else? ā
"I'm sorry, Master." Irelia smiled wryly. But the smile seemed to tug at her wound, making the corners of her mouth twitch.
"Don't call me Master, just call me by my name. My name is Lin Zhao. "Irelia is called Lin Zhao very unaccustomed to the master name after sentence.
"Well, Lin Zhao." Irelia immediately changed her tune.
The two soldiers resting against the wall had been listening to the conversation between Irelia and Lin Zhao, and some of the questions in Lin Zhao's words, Irelia ignored, but the two soldiers clearly noticed it.
A soldier said in a cold voice: "Ionia is in danger, and it is the duty of every Ionian to protect Ionia. Why do you say you, don't you dare to go to war, want to evade your responsibilities, coward? ā
"Iroh!" Irelia scolded, "The purpose of Ionia's existence is to shelter all the people who live in this land. As members of the Guardians, we are the walls and swords of Ionia, and we are not in a position to ask others to do anything. Apologize to Lin Zhao. ā
The soldier was extremely unconvinced, and said sorry to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "It's okay. He's right. If Ionia needs me, I will do my part for Ionia. ā
But the premise is that his injuries can be healed quickly, and he can quickly master the power of the North Wind Divine Dragon.
