Although the dagger had never been used, it was sharp enough because of the careful care of its master, and even so, the expected smoothness of piercing the flesh did not appear, and the tip of the knife was only pierced by a few centimeters before it was clamped by the tight and strong muscles, and it could no longer be inched.

Once again, Van Del made Hilko feel the true meaning of [monster].

To Hilco's surprise, Vander let go of the hand holding his neck and took two steps back.

Before his brain suffocated, Hilco finally poked his head out of the water and regained the power to breathe.

Covering his fiery left eye, Hilco stared at Fandel with a complicated expression with his right eye, and clenched the knife in his hand.

"If you let me go now, we will be enemies, and one day, I will kill you."

Looking down at his bleeding abdomen, Vandel looked a little lost.

"Hilco, you think you're doing it for my good, but you don't know that your concealment is a betrayal to me."

"Betrayal?"

Hilco sneered: "I am your brother, but you want to kill me, this is betrayal." ”

"I don't want to kill you, and I won't kill you, I just want to teach you a lesson, and by the way, see myself clearly...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have let go just now. ”

"If you want to redeem our broken relationship through this lie, Fandel, you'd better drown me here."

Hilco's face was full of disbelief, and Fandel sighed.

"I agreed."

“…… What do you mean? ”

"Your plan, your plan for human experiments, your plan to use alchemy soldiers against the upper city, I agreed."

Fandel took a deep breath and calmly stared at Hilco, who looked surprised.

"Watching you die in front of me and watching other people die in front of me, it feels completely different, I actually, not as much fraternity as I imagined, just now when you stabbed me with a fruit knife, I knew that I was a hypocrite, always thinking about letting more people live, but always doing more harm to others, not as pure as you."

“……”

"Moreover, I learned very important lessons from Mr. Li."

Although he was very unhappy, Hilco had to take over the conversation.

"If you don't want to say it, you can keep your mouth shut, I don't have to listen."

"I ask you, why is Noxus so powerful?"

"We talked about this topic, of course, because Noxus has been waging wars, plundering resources, and recruiting soldiers, and in this case, as long as Noxus does not die, Noxus will only continue to be strong."

"No, that's not why Noxus is really strong."

Hilco froze, and Vandel said word for word.

"The reason why Noxus is strong is because Noxians are willing to die for dignity, and in Noxus, if a person dies to maintain dignity, then the person and his family, and even the whole country will be proud of him,

But Zuan does not have such a concept, in order to be able to live humbly, Zuan people can be like a mouse to accept it, but as everyone knows, fear of death in exchange for life is better than death......"

"Fandel, you don't look like someone who understands this."

"I understand now, so I'm coming to you."

Fandel stared at Hilko, took two steps forward with a grim expression, and stretched out his right hand.

"Now that we have come to this point, we should put aside all considerations,

Hilco, start your experiment, at least the next time you're confronted with the sheriff's guns, the Zaun will have a little more strength to resist. ”

Hilco sneered and pointed to his eyes.

"Neurotic, huh? You beat me like this, shaking hands and wanting to make peace? ”

Vander gritted his teeth and pointed to his lower abdomen,

"If you're still angry, come, stab again."

Hilco didn't stab the knife, but after putting the knife away, he punched Fandel's right eye, and directly punched Fandel into a panda eye.

"Shake hands and get rid of it, for the sake of you idiot figuring it out, I'll believe you one last ......time."

Before he could finish speaking, Hilco found himself in the hands of a great force again, and his body was carried by Fandel like a hemp rod.

"I know a good private practice, bear with me."

……

Holding the two little girls who were suspected of being Wei and Jinx all the way, Lester returned to the Moonlight Tavern in Black Alley, found an empty room for the two sisters on the second floor of the tavern to settle down, ate something to pad their stomachs, and the two children who slept in the big bed for the first time fell asleep in exhaustion.

The next morning, while Diolai and Bang were having breakfast, Lester found an opportunity to talk.

"Vialet, Burst, apart from your parents, do you have any other relatives besides Zuan?"

"It's gone, it's just me and Explode."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again, and Violet endured it alone.

"So, what's next for you two?"

Lester sat on the chair and looked at the two little girls, thinking about how to place the two of them, since he had found them, there was no need for Vi and Jinx to follow the original path of fate.

As for whether he can train Wei and Jinx from being heroes in their own right after losing the tempering of fate, he can't guarantee 100% that no matter how bad it is, under his guidance, it will always be stronger than the two of them themselves.

It's just that the twisted melon is not sweet, and it is not certain whether the two little girls are willing or not.

Hearing this, the sensitive explosion wiped his tears, and after glancing at his sister who was a little hesitant, he immediately looked at Leicester, and there was a sense of panic in his heart again.

It could be seen that the explosion was dominated by her sister Violet, and Lester looked at Violet.

"Wei Aolai, you are a sister, as the so-called eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother, you now also understand some major rights and wrongs, and the next road should be decided by you.

I've never liked beating around the bush and giving you sisters three options. ”

Raising a finger, Lester said with a serious face.

"The first choice, stay here and do things for me, I will raise your sisters at the cost that your sisters will be branded with me for the rest of their lives, and they can only be my people in this life, and they will never be able to escape again."

Burst let out a breath, his eyes full of anticipation, but Viola frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.

Looking at the very different expressions of Violet and Explosion with interest, Lester smiled lightly and raised his second finger.

"The second option, I'll take you in for two more days, let you recover a bit, before the morning of the day after tomorrow, you two sisters leave the Moonlight Tavern and find a way out by yourself, no matter what the result is, I won't interfere in any way."

"The third option, if you're not sure you'll survive outside, I can find a Zuan to raise you,

In this case, you will not be completely bound to me, you will still have the freedom of life, but you will still need to do some things for me in the future, and when you repay the kindness, you can regain your freedom and choose your own life. ”

"Make a decision, Violet, time will not wait for you all the time, no matter what decision you make, I will support it, I will not hold a grudge against the two little girls, don't worry about offending me."

Relieved, Viola looked at her sister and saw the plea in her sister's eyes, obviously her sister wanted to stay here.

To be honest, she herself didn't want to stay, she didn't want to make hasty decisions that couldn't be changed before she saw the world, especially when the other party made a condition that could be called a slave treaty, and it looked like she was on top, which was really disgusting.

In the absence of relatives, the third option is the most suitable for her, as long as she has a foothold, she is confident that she can live with her sister in Zu'an.

If she was the only one, she would definitely choose the third option without hesitation, but now that she has a little sister, she has to consider her sister's feelings.

"Boom, how about we pick the third one?"

"But, but, sister, brother is so good to us......"

Burst with an aggrieved little face.

"If we stay here, we will have no freedom and dignity, and my parents have said that people must live with dignity."

Glancing at Lester who was smiling and without any explanation, Violet sighed, and was even more sure that the first choice was to become a slave, and couldn't help but persuade her sister bitterly.

"Such a treaty is no different from slaves, I heard that there are many slaves in Noxus, they do not have any freedom, life and death are controlled by their masters, explosion, you should think about the future path, you may not like it here."

"Sister...... I, I listen to you. ”

The explosion with no opinion was finally persuaded by her sister, and the little girl lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lester.

"Brother, let's choose the third, we can do things for you, but we must have the freedom to choose independently...... I'm sorry, please forgive me for my choice. ”

"I see."

Lester smiled, stood up, touched Viole's embarrassed little head, and whispered comfortingly.

"You don't have to apologize to me, I don't hate strong children, although there are some regrets, but I respect your choice,

I'll bring your caregiver over in three days, and I'll rest in my room for a few days, lunch and dinner will be delivered on time, and my only request to you until I come over next time is not to leave the room, can you do it? ”

"Brother, don't worry, we won't be out of the room."

Violet blushed and nodded, obviously shy about the sudden gesture of touching his head just now,

Lester was secretly amused, saying that Vialet must be nonsense if he didn't have a good impression of himself, obviously he had a good impression of himself, and Vialet made such a decision, it can only be said that Vialet itself is a child with an independent personality.

Since it's your own choice, no matter what the result is, at least you won't regret it.

……

At Fogen's Tavern, Sevika hurriedly found Fandel, who was sitting listlessly at the front of the bar, and explained his intentions.

"What? Big guy looking for me? ”

Vander looked at the bandaged Servica with a puzzled expression.

"Did you say anything?"

"It's about two little girls."

Sevika's expression was a little strange, and his eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance when he looked at Fandel, as if he was wary of a scumbag who deserved to die.

"Boss, forget about me, you won't secretly a little girl, but you will be approached by the big guy, right?"

Fandel, who was angry in a word, almost fainted, does this woman have no sense of trust in herself at all?

"Fart! What do you think of me as someone? It's Slarry and Monica's two daughters.,After that day, I met those two children looking for parents on the Sungate Bridge.,I wanted to bring them back to raise.,But the big guy took the child away before me.,I thought the big guy was going to raise it himself.,

Alas, sure enough, how could a big man like that adopt a child of Zaun?

Sevika, where's the big guy? ”

Relieved, Sevika pointed across the street, his face not half ashamed.

Rolling his eyes, Vander hurried out of Fogen's tavern and headed towards the Moonlight Tavern.

At the bartender on the first floor, Van Del found Leicester, who was watching the grudge fight with a genuine red wine, and approached the tavern owner who no one dared to approach at will amid the envious and hateful eyes of others.

"Drink something? I please. ”

Lester asked without looking back.

After hesitating, Fandel didn't dare to order something too expensive, so he asked for a decent glass of Ionian sake.

Smiling at Fandel and cleaning up at the bartender, Lester put down his goblet.

"I know you know those two children, I want to entrust you to raise, what conditions do you have? As long as it's not too excessive, I can satisfy you. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

He was taking half a sip of sake and choked on Fandel in his throat, almost not taking a breath, the weight of this sentence was heavy, but anyone who was in Zu'an understood it.

"Big guy, I can keep this condition for now......"

"I can't."

Lester did not hesitate to refuse indifferently.

"Either mention it now, or don't mention it, speaking of which, the parents of those two children died on the gate of the sun, you should be responsible, don't take an inch."

Gritting his teeth, Fandel asked tentatively.

"Then can I ask the big guy what he thinks of Piltover and Zaun?"

Lester finally turned his head with a smile on his face, making Van Del feel flattered.

"You fool, let you put forward a condition, but you came to trick me?"

"Haha, I'll just ask casually, the big guy doesn't have to care."

"Then I'll just answer it."

Lester picked up his glass and set his eyes back on the two Zauns in the ring, the fist-to-flesh unrestricted fight was just right for a side dish.

"Whether it's the people of the upper city or the people of the lower city, the empire values loyalty and ability,

No matter what you do, as long as you don't stand on the opposite side of the Empire, don't turn these two cities into a mess that can't be cleaned up, and too many people die, the Empire won't interfere with Piltover and Zaun in any way,

If Zaun can prove that he is capable of independence from Piltover, perhaps in the future, there will be an imperial governor named Fandel...... Alright, tell me your conditions, and get the fuck off for me. ”

"Hehe, big guy, my condition is to let Hilco be the deputy governor, can I do it?"

"Come see me here tomorrow morning."

Having drunk half a glass of sake in one gulp, Van Del left satisfied.
