"I'm sorry, I'm too engrossed." Chen Senran never said a word, the night was terrifyingly quiet, Carl lay on the ground and kissed the earth deeply, with his mouth hidden behind the cloak, which may have rotted out, and after a long time, probably he finally felt the clammy cold of the ground, stood up and sat down by the campfire again, and explained in a hoarse voice.

The explanation was light, as if nothing had just happened, and that he was really just too obsessed with the story of the man named Karthas and was a little hysterical.

"I can understand it, it's a really sad story." Chen Senran didn't break anything, and followed the words of Karl, oh, no, Karthas, he really didn't know what the undead spirit in front of him who should have lived for hundreds of years wanted to do.

The little Annie in her arms secretly showed a pair of eyes and glanced at the guy who had scared him sitting on the other side, her eyes showed a trace of sadness, obviously as simple as little Lori heard the true meaning of the story, but Chen Senran didn't break it, she didn't say comforting words, but obediently got back into Chen Senran's arms again.

Actually, little Anne is very smart.

"yes." Karthas didn't seem to realize that he had said everything, or that he had deliberately said everything, and he just sat there quietly, looking at the fire, and not talking again.

Chen Senran stopped talking, he touched little Annie's hair, and tried to see through the fire through the eyes behind the Karthas cloak. He really couldn't figure out what it was.

Could it be that the other party has lived for hundreds of years and is too lonely, and wants to come out and find someone to tell a story and chat? That's too much.

Karthas ...... Wait, his memory seems to have regressed, and the head of the indigenous people who has lived in the howling swamp for hundreds of years under the two powerful forces of Demacia and Noxus, the lich known as the Death Chanter, is not called Karthas?

So what is his purpose...... It seems obvious, for the sake of the people of Demacia, but it is not right, not to mention how he knows my identity, but to say that he inexplicably hints at his identity......

Chen Senran pursed his lips, feeling a little thirsty, and picked up the red wine and poured himself a glass.

Do you want to expose him? He is still pretending, obviously he doesn't want to break this point by himself, once he breaks it, he is afraid that he is not his opponent at all, and the risk of doing so is too great......

Or take him to the camp in Demacia and see what is going on? If you do that, you may just die a dozen hours later.

From the moment this guy appeared, he was in a difficult situation.

Or was his series of temptations and Evelyn's existence discovered by him, and he simply secretly showed himself his hole cards, so that he could not bother him, and could only take him to the camp of the Demacians obediently...... That makes sense.

Chen Senran took a sip of red wine, raised the bottle high to Karlsas and said, "Carl, do you want a glass?" "He'd love to say to the old monster across from him now, I've had enough of playing and I'm going back to sleep.

But it's a pity, Karthas just shook his head and said, "No, actually, my body doesn't need sleep much after being destroyed, if you feel sleepy, let's go sleep." ”

Chen Senran smiled and shook his head.

I don't know when the mournful singing around me has dissipated, and the fog has lightened a little.

The night was as cold as ice.

——————————

The carriage continued to run through the foggy swamp, and the deeper the road went, the more difficult it became, and the surrounding waters had begun to appear, and in some places, they had to get out of the car and walk.

Fortunately, Demacia's camp was built on the edge of a relatively dry area, not too close to the central water area, so Chen Senran and his family did not need to abandon the car and walk.

Along the way, Chen Senran still did not reveal the identity of Karthas, and even Evelyn, who was hiding in the shadows, told her not to act rashly. He didn't want to escape, this place could be said to be the territory of Karthas, judging from the fog and ghosts that could be affected by his breath, if Chen Senran escaped, then he was likely to get lost in the fog and then be eaten by those ghosts.

Everything is cold-treated.

Karthas never opened his mouth again in the time since he had told that long story, just silently looking at the old book in his hand, if Chen Senran was not mistaken, it was his expedition notebook.

For some reasons that everyone secretly knew, Chen Senran didn't mean to take the initiative to talk to him. The journey began to get lifeless.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and Lao Du followed the markers along the way, and finally found the camp in Demacia in the evening of the next day.

The carriage slowly stopped, and a slight whisper came from the fog ahead, and Chen Senran glanced at Karthas, who was still looking at his notes attentively, and walked down from the carriage.

After stepping out of the carriage, Chen Senran held little Anne and stood seemingly very quietly, waiting for the guards of Demacia to come out of the fog and interrogate him, but in fact, his eyes were staring at the carriage of the carriage beside him.

Do you want to tear your face directly?

If he was to be brought in, it would be best for Karthas to leave himself with a whole corpse for the sake of leading the way.

If you call for help now, the best scenario is for Karthas to turn everyone here into pieces of meat and walk away.

So......

"I was introduced by General Galen." Chen Senran can only say this, he still prefers to keep the whole corpse.

"Tokens." Three soldiers wearing bright yellow full-body armor walked out of the fog, and the leading soldier glanced at Chen Senran and the gray standard carriage behind him, nodded and stretched out his hand.

"Please see." Chen Senran handed a short golden token that Galen had given him to the soldier opposite.

"Who else is in the car?" The soldier nodded to confirm Chen Senran's identity, but he still didn't let him go, "Mr. Chen Senran, although you are the person recommended by His Excellency Galen, for the sake of safety, if there are still people in the car, please cooperate." ”

"Understood." Chen Senran nodded with a smile and turned his head to look at the carriage, "Mr. Karl, please get off the train." ”

Carl quickly lifted the curtain and ...... out of the car Floated down.

The guard's only exposed eyes instantly narrowed, "Who is this?" ”

"He's a mage from Demacia, who came here in search of a rare medicinal herb to experiment with, but got lost, and happened to meet us." Chen Senran saw that Karthas didn't mean to explain, so he could only explain for him, and he looked at the soldiers opposite as he spoke.

At this moment, he really hoped that the other party would not suddenly have a flash of inspiration and recognize Karthas...... Even if you want to admit it, you have to wait until you go in, and then talk about it when there are many people......

"The Mage of Demacia...... What's your name, please? The guard, though suspicious, used honorifics, suggesting that he was only suspicious and not aware of something......

This is good.

"Carl." Karthas's answer was so simple and sharp that it seemed superfluous to say one more word.

"Mr. Karl......" The soldier on the other side was obviously recalling if he had ever heard of such a person in the city-state, "this ...... You can show something to ......"

"Bastard, are you suspicious of me?" Karthas suddenly became furious, pointed to the guard's nose and said, "You have insulted the dignity of a noble mage, and in the name of light, I will duel with you, guard." ”

This is a series of typical Demacian lines, and the arrogant tone of Kartsas, and the noble accent of the ancient Demacian imperial Chinese spoken in his mouth that only the upper nobles of the city-state can do, completely frightened the guards on the opposite side.

"You...... You turned out to be ...... Disrespectful ...... Villains deserve to die. The soldier fell to his knees in fear, a man who knew the imperial Chinese language of Demacia, even naked represented the highest glory, a continuation of the glory of the old era, an irrefutable nobleman.

"Hmph......" Karthas snorted coldly, "take me to your commander." ”

In an instant, Karthas turned against the guest and became a Demacian nobleman who came out of the fog.

The direction of the development of things is going to a place that Chen Senran cannot grasp.

It's terrible.

I stopped talking, and I felt too pretentious.

Let's try to code words.
