Page 46 [Undercurrents Under the Table]
"I heard you were almost killed yesterday?" Ruiz was still looking at the book of Faust, and did not even raise his head in earnest.
The large chandelier of the Obsidian Library shone dimly, and the runes of thorns on Reze's body loomed like lightning in the night.
This was Chen Senran's first day to learn from Ruiz, but he didn't expect the blue-skinned bald guy to say such a sentence before he could sit down on the other side.
"That's right." Chen Senran couldn't imagine that even such a secret thing could be known for the first time by the weird big bald head in front of him, and he couldn't help but think of Jax's evaluation of Ruiz, a man as powerful as the entire starry sky.
So he became more and more respectful, and the strong always got respect, no matter how powerful it was.
"You don't have to think that I know everything, Soraka told me everything, so you don't have to expect me to come and save you at any time." Ruiz's speaking style was as direct and simple as yesterday, "What I'm trying to tell you is that I can protect you from death in this academy, but it depends on your luck when you get out of this academy. ”
"Is it lucky...... Chen Senran felt that this promise was very nonsense, but it was also very powerful, after all, everyone was not familiar with it, and it was already benevolent and righteous to be able to do it.
"Okay, now let's talk about why you didn't die?" Ruiz flipped a page of the book, "Soraka said you were going to die, but suddenly a miraculous force saved you. ”
Is it Soraka again...... Chen Senran has heard the name of this amazing woman in the mouths of different people in the past few days, and it seems that she can know everything no matter what, she is simply a global satellite and a prediction machine.
"I have something called Scarlet Flame in my body, I think it saved me yesterday, in fact, I don't know very well......" Chen Senran is still very conscious, the other party is so omniscient and omnipotent, and his net worth and life are in the hands of the other party at the moment, it is better to tell the truth.
"Scarlet Flame...... "Ryze's fingers paused as he flipped through the book, as if he remembered something, "You are indeed the outsider who pretended to be dead, will the Dao Council let you go?" The bald guy changed his words and suddenly began to talk about the incident of last year.
"The council wants to prop up the grey order." Chen Senran was no longer surprised by Ruiz's terrifying insight, but only revealed the mystery in one word.
"Yes." Ruiz nodded without expressing any surprise at Chen Senran's insight, "I don't really want to discuss what the council wants to do, but you better be careful with the council. ”
Beware of the council...... It's an interesting quote, and it's clear that the interior of the War College isn't as harmonious as it seems.
"I'll take you to a test tomorrow, I'm very interested in the fusion of the Crimson Flame and your body, I've studied it for many years and haven't found much." Ruiz abruptly turned back to his previous subject, apparently unwilling or impatient to talk about the nerve-wracking, dirty political struggle.
Ruiz seemed to have lost interest in talking, and just looked down at the book. But don't you say you have to teach yourself something......
Chen Senran wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only say: "Master Ruiz, you ......"
"Okay, okay, in fact, I've been trying to teach you something just now, but ......" The bald guy who had been calm like an old king from beginning to end pulled his beard helplessly, "I don't know what Lu Dao should teach you." ”
"Your standards are too low, and I've never taught anyone ......"
Chen Senran did not feel angry or frustrated at all because he was told that his standard was low, because he remembered one thing, one thing as important as saving his life, and that was to protect little Annie.
"Or, you can let me go to the academy to learn some basics first." It shouldn't be too difficult for Ruiz. More importantly, this can not only ensure that he can stay in the academy for a long time, but also fulfill his promise to little Annie in another aspect.
"Yes, that's fine." Ruiz's voice was very flat, without a trace of fluctuation, he didn't look up, but Chen Senran always felt that he had seen through everything.
This feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable, after all, it was usually him who played the role.
No one spoke, save for the occasional flipping of pages echoing through the empty and gloomy library. Both of them tacitly did not mention the monkey who boiled tea and watched flowers to kill people, nor did they guess the final result of the man who broke into Noxus with a single sword.
It's just that Ruiz couldn't help but say as he left: "Young man, pray for good luck all the time, at least ...... Don't die too soon. ”

In some dark room at the War College.
The bigwigs who have been busy with the start of school gather again.
"Have you seen little Anne?" The black-robed man at the top knocked on the table as if thinking about something else, and asked casually.
"The talent is good, and in the first grade class A, I arranged for Brand to be coached." The black-robed man on the left answered casually.
Brand ...... Demacia's little trick? The black-robed man on the right was as bitter as ever, "It's too eager to win over that little guy with a scarlet flame, right?" ”
"Actually, it's a good thing, it helps the gray order to grow." The black-robed man on the left raised objections.
"But don't you think that little guy has gained too much? The Infinite Path, Ryze, Soraka, Gulagas, Jax, and the alien creature that escaped the roundup. "The black-robed man on the right has always been like a businessman, and he can't tolerate others taking too much advantage.
"But...... Hasn't he also been hunted down by Noxus? It's a balance, and isn't that what we're after? The black-robed man on the left continued to argue with the black-robed man on the right, "Don't you think you're becoming more and more like Ashra...... cough cough cough ......" He seemed to have said something taboo, and suddenly fell silent, and then glanced at the black-robed man above him with some nervousness.
The black-robed man at the top didn't seem to hear what he had just said, and said after a long time, "Actually, I was about to say something about him. ”
"Are you talking about Master Yi going to Noxus?" The black-robed man on the right felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and continued.
"yes, who do you think will win?"
"Whoever wins is not good news for us." The black-robed man on the right hesitated, "Actually, if Master Yi is dead...... We just need to bear the pressure of those two guys, which is relatively more cost-effective. ”
"One-on-one, Master Yi has a better chance of winning." The black-robed man on the left seems to be trying to make up for the mistake just now, trying to analyze, "What's more, Sun Wukong also went yesterday, so ......"
"So Hudson, you should go, after all...... He is also one of our own. "The black-robed man at the top made the last decision," as for Chen Senran's little guy...... Don't be afraid, let him go. ”
The black-robed man on the left, who originally wanted to speak, stiffened, and finally could only nod.
