Page 123 The Triumph of Paranoia

To talk about something, with Murphy and Chen Senran.

And the only point of intersection between Chen Senran and Murphy is Demacia, as well as the war in the north. Judging from the fact that Karthas was able to intercept Chen Senran's carriage and infiltrate his team, Karthas's intelligence was absolutely first-class, so there was no doubt that he knew everything, so it was easy to deduce that Karthas was going to talk about northern affairs, that is, to form an alliance with Demacia and get involved in northern affairs.

"Your claws have stretched a little longer, Mr. Karthas." Murphy still crossed his hands and said in a flat tone, "What's more, do you think I'll believe you?" ”

"Of course not, if it's usual, the moment when the two of us meet is definitely when a person dies." Karthas didn't mind Murphy's attitude of being thousands of miles away, "That's why I've put so much thought into what I'm going to do to see you in this way." ”

"Actually, it's no different, I'm just giving you a little time to say your last words." Murphy lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "It's almost time now." ”

"No, no, no...... It's a little bit closer, because Mr. Chen Senran is here. Karthas smiled and waved his fingers, which were wrapped in thick gloves and were supposed to be rotten flesh inside, "Mr. Chen Senran, are you right?" ”

Murphy glanced at Chen Senran with some doubts, frowned and said, "Mr. Chen Senran, you ...... His Excellency only said that you should go to the north without any problems. He paused halfway through his speech, Chen Senran thought about it with his feet, and the other party wanted to say that you don't know what kind of agreement you reached with Karthas in advance, right?

But apparently Galen has a big face, and Murphy is very subtle.

"You know, I've been coerced all the way here, so it's impossible to have a good talk to Mr. Karthus." Chen Senran touched his nose and said helplessly. This sentence can be regarded as clarifying himself, but at the same time it also leaves a way back for Karthas, who actually vaguely guessed something.

"Don't say it so ugly, we actually get along very well, don't we?" Karthas laughed, and the laughter was so harsh that it seemed to come from his chest cavity straight through his bones, "I told you a story." ”

He mentioned the story, in fact, even if Karthhas didn't mention the story, Chen Senran already understood what he meant, this old guy kept hinting that he had a problem along the way, leading himself in the direction he wanted, and then told himself a story, implying that he was Karthas, firstly, to warn him not to think about running away and leading the way, and secondly, he really wanted to tell a story......

"Yes, he told me a story, Lord Murphy." Chen Senran smiled, he took over Karthas's words, which was also consistent with his guess, Karthas wanted to be a mouthpiece, and he wanted to pass on the information in the story to him, including that he was a Demacian, he was actually cursed, and he loved Elena deeply...... In short, he told Murphy that he was not malicious.

Even though Murphy just sat on it.

"Tell me about it." The middle-aged general Demacia was noncommittal, parted his crossed hands, and after tapping on the table three times, he glanced at Karthas, who was still sitting there as if he had won the battle, thinking about how this old guy could not fly, and couldn't help but want to hear this so-called story.

In normal times, he definitely didn't have that Noxus time.

So in the next magic hour, Chen Senran retold the story of Karthas in its entirety, and even because of his excellent language organization and logical skills, he told this story more exciting, more exciting, and the ending was even more sad.

"Is that so?" Murphy didn't react to the story he was supposed to listen to, still with a noncommittal calm expression, and he tapped his fingers on the table three more times, "Are you trying to say that the slaughter you have been doing for hundreds of years is actually just because we disturbed your woman's rest, in fact, you have no malicious intent?" ”

"General Murphy, you are worthy of being someone I admire, you are so smart." Karthas nodded, still breezy and breezy.

"And now you suddenly want to compromise with us...... Why didn't you come before? Murphy's question was still scathing, and although he accepted Karthus's kindness somewhat, he didn't trust his sincerity.

"I don't want to come." Karthas's answer left Murphy a little speechless.

"Of course...... What's more, I came this time because I got some hunches. Karthhas didn't wait for Murphy to continue to ask this question, "You know that I used to study space magic, and I have finally made some progress over the past few hundred years, but in recent years I have felt uneasy, this world will have terrible changes, and may even be destroyed, especially recently. ”

"So you think you might never be able to protect this land again?" Murphy was obviously a very smart man, "You want Demacia's help, come...... Saving the world? ”

"Strictly speaking, it seems so." Karthas chuckled a little self-deprecatingly.

"You're great." Murphy sneered and mocked, he still couldn't believe the other party.

For hundreds of years, he had been slaughtering people who had entered the swamp just because the woman he liked had died here, and now he suddenly came to tell him that he was not playing, surrendered, and wanted to cooperate, because he wanted to save the world.

Such a leap of thought, such a neurotic logic. What kind of paranoia is this?

Murphy couldn't understand, so he said.

"Are you wasting my time?" The middle-aged General Demacia frowned again, his face unfurnished and self-assured by the anger hidden in his words, with a sternness like a lion's roar.

Karthas didn't react to Murphy's anger in the slightest, and he said word by word: "Actually, if I blow myself up, everyone here will die, then the Noxians can occupy this important road and completely cut off the connection between Demacia and the north, those people will become alone, and Demacia will definitely not be able to gather five thousand people to capture this place in a short time, those people will definitely die." After that, Demacia will all die. ”

"You're threatening me." Murphy stood up suddenly, drew out the delicate long sword placed on the shelf behind him, and pointed the blade straight at Karthas, and the cold sword aura stirred up Karthas's black gauze, vaguely revealing his fleshy face.

"I'm threatening you." Karthas said.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little frozen, and Murphy confronted Karthas with his sword for a full quarter of an hour, and then he smiled and put away his sword.

"I have to say, Mr. Karthas, your patience is really top-notch. You win. Murphy sat back in his seat, "Now we can talk about cooperation." ”

It was a battle of momentum, like two swords clashing, and in the final tug-of-war, Karthus's paranoia prevailed over Murphy's calmness.

So, sometimes, only paranoia can succeed.
