Hundreds of corpses flowed down the river, and the glow of the sky sprinkled the last tenderness on the gradually cold earth, reflecting a layer of surging blood light reflected on the beautiful Huanxi River.

After the attack, the fleet had been resting in place on the River for two days, and it was not until the bodies of the Noxians could no longer be found on the riverbed and along the banks that the fleet gave up its remembrance of the dead and moved on.

It didn't take much effort, and the torturer of the Night's Edge pulled out the information that Lyster wanted from the mouth of the frightened captive,

There are two groups of attackers, one of whom is an old acquaintance, the Navoli Brotherhood, which naturally does not need to be said, judging from the increasingly impatient and frequent attacks of the Brotherhood, Camille and her magic crystal tactical team should have made a lot of efforts in the dark.

At least the Brotherhood's veteran assassins were on pins and needles, eager to dig into the ground and hang the unknown force who stole their butts for three days and three nights, and when they couldn't find their target, it was clear that the Brotherhood had put the blame on the Noxians.

The other group of people who use special natural spirit power to scuttle boats are cultists who believe in the Sect of Nature Spirits, and even the killers of Navoli don't know how their organization hooked up with these perverts,

Among the captives are also the cultists of the spirit of nature, but unfortunately, these cultists are only the outermost soft-boned cannon fodder,

Except for a nature spirit sacrifice called [Hogan], these idiots don't know anything about what they believe in, and can fool people to the point of voluntarily sending them to death without knowing anything, and Lyster doesn't know whether to admire the nature spirit sect for having the means or the Ionians lack faith and lose their brains and fall into it.

"I was thinking about how to deal with this group of extreme environmentalists, but I didn't expect it to be sent to the door."

Above deck, Lyster enjoyed a quiet Ionian evening in the company of Sindra.

Life on board was a bit boring, and apart from being in the room with Syndra, it had become a routine for Lyist to go up on deck every day to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the coast.

Ionia's fantasy style is different from most places in Runeterra, like a fantasy between the spiritual and material realms of Bandel, finding a balance between the innocence of fairy tales and the cruelty of the world.

When the sun is high in the sky, there are unknown golden streamers like ears of wheat in the sky and on the earth, and at night, a cold crescent moon the size of a jade plate hangs in the night sky with shining stars, and when you are lucky, you can also see the tail of a continuous rain of meteors, like the golden streamer of the day, I don't know where it came from and where it is going.

Silver fireflies perched on the gray-brown cloud forest like a stone monument, and owl-like birds hovered on both sides of the riverbank.

At the end of the horizon, the ancient stone pillars and temples like hanging castles are covered with green vines and ancient vines, and the ancient battlefield with countless magical prohibitions is like a stone sword that opens the world, and at night, a dark blue rune colossus with a height of ten meters will rise from the rubble pile, standing in the graveyard composed of broken sword halberds, staring into the eternal distance.

Ionia, known as the Land of the Newborn, has too many secrets, and the Sacred Forest of Omikayalan is just one of them, and there is no telling how much to discover under the dust buried by history, which is one of the reasons why Lyster is bound to Ionia.

So far, he can only drive the ancient war machine of the Noxian Empire all the way forward, either crushing all the supreme supremes that stand in the way of becoming a runeterra, or crashing headlong under the high walls of the world, whether it succeeds or not, at least the result of his efforts, he will not regret it.

"What is the teacher going to do? Do you want to send the Nightblade to track down the secrets of the Nature Spirit Sect? ”

Noticing Lyster's strange appearance, Sindra took the initiative to take the man's right hand.

Gently hugging Sindra, in the nearly 1,000 years of immortal species, Lyster has long abandoned the way of thinking of short-lived species, and does not care about the human taboo that ordinary people need to take into account,

In fact, if he was given another chance to return to his previous life, he would definitely hug his apprentice Elena without hesitation, and take the naughty good apprentice all the way out of the organization and fly away.

If the organization dared to continue its unrelenting, he would not mind destroying it completely.

"I have a better fit for this."

Feeling the warmth and softness of Sindra's body, Lyist's mind gradually relaxed.

"This person has made friends all over the world in order to inherit the martial arts, and he has traveled around the Ionian continent alone, and he has superb martial arts strength, and he has an extremely deep understanding of ancient culture."

Syndra, with a red face, shrunk into the man's arms, feeling carefree peace of mind and satisfaction, but she gave up thinking.

"Teacher, who is this person?"

Thinking that Sindra had taken the initiative to ask him about the [Weapon Master] more than twenty years ago, Lyster felt a little amused.

】

Sure enough, women with love brains are stupid people who can't think.

"You've probably heard of this guy, think about it? How boring is it to tell you directly? ”

Sindra, pursed her mouth, tried to find a candidate who met the criteria in her impression, but she was blank when she thought about it, only the teacher's body kept transmitting temperature to herself, so that she couldn't lift half of her strength.

It's a shame to feel......

"Sindra?"

"Huh? I, I don't know...... Sorry ......"

Looking at Sindra who was a little flustered in his arms, he knew that under his doting, Sindra would give up the ability to think independently as long as he was by his side, and it was not good for Lyster to continue to tease this little girl about forty years old.

Speaking of which, this is the result of his efforts to control Sindra emotionally.

"Weapons Master Jax, have you heard of it? Have you ever seen a burning lamppost? Three-fingered casserole fist, have you ever been beaten? ”

Sindra's eyes widened.

"After talking for a long time, it turned out to be Master Jax? I'll just say how come it's so familiar...... Wait, Master Jax in Ionia? ”

Lyist smiled and nodded.

"Presidium, to be exact, this guy used the Night's Edge to convey to me his request to meet, and it happened that this attack on Presidium, presumably he would come to the door himself,

He certainly wouldn't be willing to put himself in the shoes of the invaders and help us fight the Ionians, but he would certainly be willing to smash the heads of the cultists with a lamppost,

Believe me, in the Land of Runeterra, no one is better suited to investigate the secrets of the Nature Spirit Sect than Jax and his apprentices. ”

……

The petals of the peach blossoms fall from the window.

In a private room in a tavern in Precidian, Jax, wrapped in a cloak, sat in a window seat, carefully lifting the metal perforated mask halfway to expose his mouth, munching on the bloodshot pieces of beef.

On the opposite table, an old bald warrior monk who had pulled out a money bag was trying to persuade him.

"Master Jax, I know there are some things you ...... annoyed"

Before Jax could say anything, the bald monk continued.

"Although annoying, I still have to say that you are a respected martial arts benchmark in the newborn land, in the face of the injustice of the Noxians, you should raise the banner and lead us in the martial arts to resist the invasion of the Noxians, now Karma is reincarnated and rebuilt, the mountain gate of the Balance Temple is closed, and the dragon is groveling, only you are willing to stand up......"

Swallowing the delicious beef cube in one gulp, Jax raised one of his few three fingers and shook it vigorously.

"I don't want to, really, Master Gangcaster, I've come here to do my own thing, not to participate in the war between you Ionians and Noxians, if I face the Void I will definitely take action, but between nations......

With my identity, it is really not suitable for mixing, not to mention, your Vajra Sect's hometown Shuoji Temple does not seem to have a very unified opinion, what is the matter of finding me as an outsider? ”

After saying that, Jax stared straight at the fourth empty plate, and Gang Custer could only ask the store to order another four catties of cooked beef.

Having already realized that Jax's oil and salt were not in progress, Gangster took a deep breath and perfectly played the characteristics of an ascetic, and continued without being discouraged.

"Any wavering guy will stand up and be a reliber after seeing the brutality of the Noxians, and we need to ...... before more Ionians understand that we have no way back"

"But how did I hear that the Noxians didn't commit any crimes since they entered?"

Taking the four plates of beef in the waiter's hand, under the trembling gaze of the waiter, Jax bit on the beef cube with his big dark purple mouth, and swallowed half a catty as soon as his mouth closed.

Gang Custer waved his hand, and the waiter swallowed as if in amnesty, and fled in panic.

What kind of weirdo is this? No wonder you have to eat cooked beef that is nine minutes raw.

"As far as I know, in the past six months or so, after Philo Island was ruled by the Noxians, many Ionians and Vastayas chose to immigrate from the east to join the Noxian Empire? If the Noxians were really that brutal, how could you Ionians take the initiative to jump into the wolf's den? Are they all fools? ”

Blocked by Jax's words, Gangcaster rubbed his bare head and explained with a stalk.

"Presumably they were seduced by the sweet words of the Noxians, who doesn't know that the dark wizards of the Noxians like to bewitch people the most?

Master Jax, this is what the Noxians will do when they see that we are outnumbered, if you really let the Noxians gain a foothold in the newborn land, when the time comes, the days of the Ionians will only get sweeter and sweeter, and those who feel that they are not sweet will be buried for you, and it will be too late to resist. ”

After eating the third piece of beef, Jax burped, drank the chrysanthemum tea in the cup in one gulp, and took off the porous mask, revealing Jax's abnormal appearance.

There are two ugly spiral holes in the folded purple skin, the flat facial features are basically distorted, the smooth face has no beard, and some prominent dark purple eyes are eight large and small.

The four eyes near the sides of the cheeks also involuntarily shift to the sides, perfectly inconsistent with the main gaze in the center, and the jagged teeth are still stuck with the blood of raw beef, which looks like a monster that has just eaten a person.

Facing Jax's stunned gaze, Gang Custer, who was under mental attack, closed his eyes and almost fainted.

With a hint of mockery at the corners of his mouth, Jax shoved the last two bites of beef into his mouth, put his mask back on, and stood up.

"See? In most people's eyes, I'm nothing more than a monster who survives the war in the Void of Acacia,

You Ionians should not allow a monster from a foreign country to become a benchmark for martial arts, I have met many talented people in this beautiful land, you should believe that even without Jax, the Ionians can fight against the Noxians, and ask Master Gangcaster to stay, Jax is grateful. ”

The resolute weapon master left the private room on the second floor with his lamppost, and walked in an unusually dashing manner.

Gang Custer opened his eyes and sighed deeply, only to see that at some point, a tavern attendant was standing beside him.

"That, that, with the tea and the one-month room booked just now, a total of one gold and thirty-two silver, thank you for your patronage......"

"How much do you say? You repeat again!? ”

Hearing this, the dervish Gang Castel stood up and grabbed the squire by the collar in disbelief, and the squire said in a trembling voice with an expression that was more ugly than crying.

"One, one gold and thirty-two silver, guest officer, you, as a revered monk, don't you want to eat the overlord meal?"

Gang Custer looked down at the three cups of flower tea and eight empty plates on the table with a wooden face, and just wanted to greet the eighteenth generation of the old mother who was the attendant, Lao Tzu sat here from beginning to end and persuaded that void monster who didn't eat oil and salt but only beef, which eye did you see me eat?

Thinking about it this way, Gang Custer, who represents the ascetic, really can't do such a rude act, so he can only swallow the foul mouth back into his stomach with difficulty.

"Don't worry, you won't be missing money."

Speaking coldly, Gang Custer picked up the money bag at the same trembling frequency as the attendant, opened the bag, and the monk who was holding his stomach saw that there was only one gold and dozens of copper in the bag, and he couldn't help but gasp for a while,

The eight gold coins that were originally ready to buy Jax were actually spent in a week, counting the private money he had saved from his wife for several years, and now it seems that he still owes more than 30 silver coins?

So much money, just eat and drink is gone? It's just that a pig can't eat like this, right? And you're going to talk about it and leave, and use my money to book a room for another month?

Jax, are you a person?

Mom gave birth to it, right?

"That's, that'...... Sir? ”

Under the frightened gaze of the attendant, Gangcaster directly took off the cloth monk's robe on his body, and the red-eyed old monk handed the attendant his clothes and money bag together, and the knotted muscles on his body bulged and swelled.

"There is still thirty-two silver, I will bet the clothes to you, and I will come back to you in a while, do you think it will work!? Well!? ”

"Uncle! You can do anything! I'm just a handyman, please spare me! ”
