Ionia.

When Duke Kao arrived, he was greeted by countless hateful eyes from the people of the city, but no one dared to do it.

The cowardice of human nature is vividly expressed at this moment. Not to mention doing it, these ordinary people couldn't stop trembling after Durkkao's gaze swept over.

To this, Durkkao scoffed: "The cowardly people, who offer little help to Ionia except for a few insignificant laborers, are almost nothing. They're just a superfluous burden!"

As soon as he sat down at the negotiating table, he began to taunt Soraka.

The difference in philosophy, perhaps with the addition of something else, makes him not only as indifferent as ever, but also sneering.

He sat alone on one side of the table, and on the other side of the table, three people sit.

The three of them are very important in Ionia, and they determine the future direction of this country that has begun to decline.

Soraka, Karma, and the current leader of the Sect of Equilibrium, and the head of the Three Shinobi of Equilibrium, Twilight, Shen.

The gray-black full-body armor covered the entire body tightly, revealing only a pair of slightly cold eyes.

He raised his head and said, "When a living being comes into this world, it has its own origin and place. Durkao, your power is worthy of respect, but you don't defy the power of others. Plus, the seat is based on your wishes, and if you're not going to rescue your daughter anytime soon, then you're free to talk about other topics, at best, just a negligible amount of time.

Although I am the referee and witness of this discussion, the sincerity of His Excellency the General is debatable. ”

Duke Kao glanced at him, this burly middle-aged man, the corners of his mouth had a touch of disdain: "I initially informed the Equilibrium Sect, but I thought it would be your father coming, but I didn't expect it to be your little doll coming." Can I understand that this is the disdain of the Equilibrium Sect for me, Dukkao?"

"The meaning of coming to my father and in my place is the same. My father has taught everything that Twilight's eyes represent to me, so there's no difference. Shen replied calmly.

Durkkao seemed to regret and said, "That's really unfortunate. ”

He shook his head: "I thought that this name should be inherited by your senior brother." I've seen that young man twice, but he's a lot better than you. ”

Shen raised his head, and there was a lot of anger in his eyes.

His voice froze: "General Durkkao, all of this you said is not within the topic of discussion today, I can be sure that the General is wasting his time?"

Durkkao's face was as cold as usual, and there was a little more sigh in his words: "It's just a few words of family life, your father, I haven't seen each other for many years, and the last time I saw it was in the offensive and defensive battles in the north, and I just miss it a little." ”

He didn't know if he was sighing about this or something else, so he casually said a few sad words, and then waved his hand: "Don't talk about this." ”

He raised his eyes and looked at the other two silent women, narrowed his eyes slightly, and went straight to the point and asked:

"Actually, the matter discussed this time is very simple, I want to ask the two of you, what price I will pay, so that you will release Caterina and Tyrone intact. ”

Karma, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, raised her head slightly, stared at Duke Kao, and asked a meaningful question: "You, yourself, or Noxus?"

"Naturally, it's me, isn't my departure from Noxus the same you've always hoped for?" said Durkkao.

Karma's eyes changed, and he turned to look at Soraka, a special psychic communication that had built a bridge.

"He already knows?"

"No...... Looking at him, it's not that he's already discovered, it's more like he jumped in directly into the trap. ”

Within the special psychic channel, Soraka replied. At the same time, I also had some doubts in my heart.

"Then why did he, why did he jump in?"

"Perhaps...... Jumping into this trap may also be beneficial to him. ”

“............”

The two exchanged their hearts, and although they had already guessed, they fell silent one after another.

In this special passage built by Karma's abilities, they don't need to worry about others discovering what they're talking about.

Because in the entire Runeterra, there may be masters who have surpassed Karma in terms of psychic power, but in the Valoran Continent, there are very few, at least the few people present are not possible.

Of course, Duke Kao didn't know, but it didn't prevent him from knowing that the two divine beings must have secretly communicated.

He asked faintly, "Why, you two are wondering why I said that? ”

He stood up, took the initiative, and said, "I have come to Ionia for my purpose. My daughter and Tyrone, I must and should leave safely, and the price to be paid for this, I believe that not only me, but you should have already had the result.

Now, let me see the sincerity of Ionia. ”

Soraka's face was calm, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

Durkkao's arrival in Ionia was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to divert the tiger.

From the beginning, it seemed to be flawless, but now it seems that Durkkao knew that it was a conspiracy, but he did not hesitate, and even jumped in willingly.

- Something is wrong.

Glancing at Karma, seeing that the latter nodded slightly, Soraka was slightly relieved. She understood that this existence called "Apocalypse" was a wise man with prophetic abilities, and since she nodded, this seemed to be a somewhat unpredictable response, and it should not be a conspiracy within a conspiracy.

So Soraka said her, or rather Ionia's request: "People can be released, but everything that Noxus has plundered from Ionia over the years must be returned with both hands!"

"It can't be. ”

Duke Kao refused directly.

He shook his head, "Maybe I haven't made it clear yet, I'm representing myself, negotiating with Ionia how to bring back my daughter and the guards instead of Noxus." ”

Although the fact is that Dukkao is on the side of the ransom and should be extremely restrictive, it now seems that it is Dukkao who has taken the initiative.

Even Soraka, who has always been soft, is also unyielding on this point: "Durkkao, are you kidding us?"

His Excellency the General shook his head very calmly, and he said bluntly: "No, I'm just stating the facts.

I have come on my own behalf, and I have nothing to do with Noxus, just as I am sitting alone at the negotiating table in front of the three of you. ”

In and out of his words, it seems to have another meaning:

I have this money in my pocket, if you want to extort money, take this money away and get out of here, don't think about withdrawing money from my bank card!

It seemed like an extremely shameless word, and it really didn't seem like it came out of Durkkao's mouth, but it was actually the norm for people in high positions.

Soraka and Karma understood, but it was clearly impossible to agree.

The masked referee Shen had been sitting there quietly watching everything after chatting with Durkka a few words earlier.
