"Leave it all in the fortress with my salute."

"So...will you go back to Noxus?"

"should be."

"Noxus is Swain now... High Swain has the final say, right?"

"Um."

"Can you talk by Swain's side?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I hope you can do me a favor." Karan whispered, with sincerity in his eyes, "When we re-seal Syndra, I hope you can let Swain send excellent generals and heavy troops to guard Philo. Er, don't let Syndra come out again. And warn him, don't try to use Syndra's power, that woman can't be controlled."

Lothar raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you go by yourself, aren't you still the lord of Feilor?"

"It won't happen again." Karan said solemnly, "With the loss of so many soldiers' lives, it is impossible for Swain to keep my lord's position."

"Also... But why do you care about Syndra so much? It doesn't seem to have much to do with you whether she seals it or not? Don't tell me you are really a conscientious lord."

"I have my reasons," Karan said. "You just have to do me this favor. I have nothing to give you, but I will be grateful for your life."

Lothar was silent.

"Noxus!" Akali's heart set off a storm.

Karan and Lothar spoke in Noxian, Akali could only understand a small part of the conversation, but it didn't prevent her from understanding the identities of the two.

They are Noxians.

In Ionia, the word Noxian is almost synonymous with enemy.

Moreover, Akali also remembered the identity of the lion Vastaya.

His portrait and wanted list are all over every village and town in the province of Navoli, and the madmen of the Navoli Brotherhood keep talking about killing him all day long.

He was Karan, the lackey of Noxus, Ionia's greatest traitor, and hundreds of people in Ionia died because of him.

Akali felt her heart beating faster and faster.

"Quick, meditate, meditate." Akali tried to slow her heart down, but she couldn't shake the restless clarity.

She was in the same room with the villain that everyone in Ionia wanted to kill, how could she have calmed down, but instead she was beating faster and faster.

Lothar and Karan's ears moved, and their eyes turned to the direction where Akali was hiding at the same time.

"Oops!" Akali's breath stopped.

"Who!" Lothar waved over with one hand, and a cloud of ice crystal dust was scattered towards the corner of the wall, and the petite figure showed a silhouette under the reflection of the ice mist.

Karan jumped up from the chair, claws at the figure.

Akali squatted down in a hurry, dodging Karan's paw, but the lion's other paw soon came.

"It's over..." Akali knew that she couldn't dodge this blow. The lion's speed was too fast. Akali could see his movements, but her body couldn't keep up.

A hand grabbed Karan's claws.

This hand was as small as a child compared to Karan's claws, but the cold air released from the palm made Karan stop moving.

"Don't, the old people who are making noises in this house make it miserable for us to have no place to live tonight." Lothar pressed Karan's paw and said to the shivering little figure in the ice dust, "Come out, we won't will hurt you."

Akali hesitated for a moment and tore off the talisman on her body.

"Sure enough, it's you." Lothar flicked Akali's forehead with his fingers, "Didn't you say you're not allowed to follow me again!"

Akali said bravely: "I want you to take care of it! I can go wherever I want..."

Karan let out a low growl.

Akali hurriedly hid behind Lothar, grabbing the Puye by his waist.

"You know this girl," Karan asked.

"I met him by chance at the market." Lothar said the truth, and at the same time mentioned Puye, don't let Akali drag him off.

"A girl who can use spells..." Karan's golden cat eyes stared at Akali, "Before I tear you to pieces, it's best to confess your identity."

Akali took out a diamond-shaped blade from her waist and aimed it at Karan.

"Okay, okay, don't scare the child." Lothar came out to smooth things out.

"Who's the child!" Akali kicked Lothar in the knee.

Lothar flicked Akali's forehead again: "You heard it too, honestly tell the truth, or this big cat will really eat you."

"I'm not afraid!" Akali glared at Karan, clutching her aching forehead, "Despicable traitor! Ionia is ashamed of having a child like you!"

Karan's face darkened.

"Charms and Kunai." Karan quickly glanced at the things on Akali's body, "You are a balanced apprentice."

"What is the balance?" Lothar was at a loss.

"That's right! Be afraid!" Akali raised her chest and said aggressively, "I am the future [Shadow Fist]! I can easily defeat a traitor like you!"

Karan turned his lips, revealing his sharp fangs: "I remember that when Noxus invaded Ionia, no one in Balance went to the battlefield to defend Ionia."

Akali's face turned ugly in an instant.

Looking at the petite and lovely girl, and at the burly lion, Lothar stood in the middle and couldn't grasp the situation at all.

"Ah, I really want to continue taking a bath." Lothar thought sincerely.

—————————————————————

War brings not only life and death, but also communion.

The Ionian natives of the western Navoli province became more or less fluent in Noxian after the war. The warlike atmosphere of Noxus also infected the local area, and many people who lost their homes became bandits. There have also been extremist resistance groups, large and small, such as the Navoli Brotherhood. In some places, some people even built underground boxing rings that were modeled after the Noxus Arena.

It seems that after a war, the ferocity of the Ionians who have lived quietly for countless years has been ignited.

—Excerpt from the Noxian travel writer's book "Ionia After the War"

Chapter 194: New Companion

Sirik squatted in front of Akali and extended his hand friendly: "Little sister, can you tell me your name?"

Akali folded her arms, ignoring Xiric, just staring at Karan with hatred, and incidentally bringing Lothar into the sight of hatred.

"She said her name was Akali." Rosa had already changed clothes and sat beside Karan, both of them stared at the little girl closely, "I told you not to follow me, you have to follow me, Well now, now you can't leave if you want to."

Akali jumped up: "I know! You must have a conspiracy! I discovered it! You are going to kill me to silence me!"

Sirik pressed Akali's shoulder: "Little sister Akali, don't get excited, we won't hurt you."

"But you saw this guy's face, so I'm sorry, we can't let you go." Lothar touched Akali's head, and the little girl faced Lothar like a cub who had just awakened to the wild. grimace in pain.

Karan suddenly said, "Let her go."

This time, even Akali didn't expect that Lothar and Ciric looked at Karan at the same time, and the boy questioned: "Are you sure that if your news spreads, we will be in big trouble."

"She is a member of the Equilibrium sect." Karan said calmly, "Balance people basically don't participate in mundane affairs, and she won't talk nonsense."

"I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it!" Akali shouted in confusion, "I'm going to let the whole Navoli know that you **** is back!"

"What do you mean by bastard..." Lothar felt that what came out of the wild girl's mouth was definitely not a good word.

Karan was unimpressed at all, explaining to Lothar and Ciric: "When I was young, I dealt with people from the Equilibrium sect, they were a bunch of... , and they were not involved in the war."

Akali retorted: "It's not! We don't participate in the war because of the overall situation! Do you understand the overall situation!"

Karan completely ignored Akali and continued to say to the two: "This girl is still young, and most of the elders are following her. We can just wait for her elders to come and pick her up, and her elders will naturally teach her to shut up. mouth."

Speaking of the elders, Akali's expression suddenly became complicated.

Lothar rubbed Akali's face: "Are you surrounded by elders?"

"No!" Akali slapped Lothar's hand away with a slap, turning her back and sulking.

Seeing that Akali was so difficult to get along with, Sirik didn't try again: "Since Karan has said so, there should be no problem. Rest early, we will continue on our way tomorrow morning."

Lothar pointed to the little girl sitting on his bed: "Bring her to your room to sleep."

Sirik stretched out his hand to Akali, and the little girl turned her face away: "I'm not going anywhere!"

"You saw it too," said Xiric. "She will be handed over to you, remember not to let her run away."

Lothar watched speechlessly as Karan and Ciric left the trouble with him and left the room in tandem.

"Remember what I told you." Before leaving, Karan ordered, "Please."

Lothar sighed and poked the little girl's head: "You really want to sleep with me, or how about going to accompany that sister?"

Akali ignored Lothar like a gourd.

"You think about it, I won't give you the bed, you only have to sleep on the floor."

Akali rolled her eyes at Lothar: "Why are you so shameless to let a child sleep on the floor?"

"You still know you're a child." Lothar put the back of her hand on Akali's face. "Have you touched it? It's very cold. You'll have nightmares from the cold if you sleep in the same bed with me."

Akali grabbed Lothar's finger and said strangely, "Are you really human?"

"What's your problem? Of course I'm human."

"But your flesh feels like a piece of ice...soft ice." Akali blinked her eyes with curiosity, "How did you do it? Is it related to that beautiful tattoo on your chest?"

"You girl." Lothar squeezed Akali's face fiercely, "Sneak peek at me taking a shower, right?"

"Let go!" Akali punched and kicked Lothar.

Lothar thought it was a little funny. He seemed to see his childhood in Akali, although he might not be a few years older than her.

"Okay, you stabbed me, we ate ramen together, and you peeked at me taking a shower, so we can be considered a deep friendship." Lothar patted Akali's head, "Tonight The bed is handed over to you, so you should do me a favor and don't say anything about Karan after being picked up by your elders."

Akali rolled her eyes: "Okay! But you must tell me why you didn't die and the injury recovered so quickly!"

"I don't know why myself..." Lothar murmured in her heart.

"Because of magic." Lothar said casually, then ignored Akali, blew out the candle, and lay down on the stool and closed his eyes to sleep.

"Che... Dare to fool me..." Akali waved her fist at Lothar angrily, but she could only shake her fist, Akali was not stupid, she knew that she would never be able to beat Lothar, if she wanted to escape As a result, most of them will be caught.

She sat sullenly on the bed and looked at the boy with her face held up, "He's a few summers older than me... Liuxia? He said his name was Luo Ji... Who named Luo Xiaoyu? So stupid."

Akali saw Lothar's eyes closed, she secretly opened her pocket, and took out a stack of papers, each of which was written with Ionian secret words in a black ink book, and the power of magic was hidden in the paper. Do not send.

"There are two 'Trickles' left, and three 'Furious Fire'... Ah, how come I'm the only one left to write it, the one that Kennan gave me is gone... There's no spell that can come in handy eh..." Akali deflated and stuffed the spells back into her pocket, "If only I knew magic... I wouldn't have to rely on these spells..."

Drowsiness suddenly came to Akali's mind. She was still young and wanted to sleep at night. In addition, she had experienced many things that day, and Akali's spirit had reached its limit.

Akali's eyelids couldn't stop fighting, and there was a soft bed under her body. She couldn't hold on any longer, and curled up and lay on it: "Kenan... avenge me..."

The moonlight outside the window was as bright as snow, and the moonlight spilled into the room, revealing the two people lying quietly.

A subtle purple current flickered by the window and disappeared into the distant forest.

…

"Didn't you say someone would pick her up?" Lothar asked Karan.

Karan's face was also very bad, and the burned half of her blushing muscle kept squirming: "We can't wait for no one to pick her up, we must rush to the Temple of Longevity as soon as possible."

"Then what should I do?" Hiric looked at the little girl in the house. The old lady of the house was watching Akali drinking soy milk dotingly. This old lady's eyes and ears were not very good, and she was always noisy. Akali suddenly became obedient in front of the old woman, drinking soy milk with her bowl in her arms, and thanked the old woman.

Lothar rubbed his temples; "Could it be that we're going to take her on the road, she's just a child."

"There's no other way." Karan put on his hood and gritted his teeth, "Even if it's a little more troublesome, I can only take her with me. My identity cannot be revealed, and she must be watched!"

The Ionians count their years in summer, and the Freljords count their years in winter.

The happy land of the extreme east and the bitter land of the extreme west, even if the sky is different, it is interesting to see each other.

Chapter 195 Wind and Rock

Akali quickly became acquainted with Lothar.

Lothar is curious about everything about Ionia, but Siric and Karan have their own concerns and won't answer all of Lothar's questions.

At this time, Akali has become a little master who knows everything.

Animals, herbs, customs, climate, Akali taught Lothar almost all the knowledge she had learned over the years in the wild. It just hits the spot. If it weren't for the many important things that Lothar still had on his shoulders, he would have the urge to play with Akali for a few years.
