Karan took a deep breath: "Your Highness, you already know everything?"

Karma lightly parted her red lips, her words were like budding flower bones and yellow leaves, two very different feelings of youth and vicissitudes appeared on her at the same time: "Sindra woke up, I know that. But I don't know why you came to me, but you know I won't let you go."

Lothar and the others looked at Karan at the same time.

Karan tried to salute again, but was stopped by Karma: "You are Vastaya, you don't need to salute me."

Karan did not insist, and said calmly: "I know what will happen to me when I come back, and I accept it. I only hope that you can re-seal Syndra."

"Why are you so insistent," Karma asked, "since you have betrayed the land of the first, why do you want to come back now?"

"I have my reasons." Karan bowed his head deeply and knelt down on the ground, "I am willing to accept any punishment, I just ask you to seal Syndra."

Karma was silent for a while: "Syndra's matter is my share."

"With your words, that's enough." Karan was relieved.

"Wait!" Akali jumped off Lothar's neck. "What are you talking about, stinky lion! Are you asking for death? Who is Syndra?"

Karan didn't answer Akali, he just turned back and smiled at Akali: "Farewell, balanced brat."

Akali froze in place.

Karma waved lightly, and several monks in monastic uniforms walked out of the mushroom forest. They held their weapons and held Karan.

"I hereby announce." The jade dragon ring behind Karma accelerated its rotation, and a green chain bound Karan firmly, "Vastaya Karan, the sinner who betrayed the land of birth, you will be escorted to Puerto Rico. Recidine, where you committed your heinous crime, the local magistrate will execute you in the witness of the people and lands you have harmed. Your soul will not be re-accepted by the land of the first, and you will be there after you die Under the pursuit of the wolf spirit, you will suffer forever."

Hiric was silent.

Lothar walked over to Akali and put his arms around her shoulders.

He didn't have a deep friendship with Karan, but after spending so long with this lion, he was still a little disappointed.

Akali was very upset, and the sinner Karan was killed. She should be very happy.

Akali couldn't shout anyhow.

"The wolf spirit will not take him." Lothar whispered in Akali's ear, "It must be the lamb spirit who took him away."

Akali looked at Karan, the lion's face did not have the fear and despair waiting to die, but a reassuring smile.

"Why does he laugh?" Akali was puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe he thinks that his wish has been fulfilled."

"For the sake of desire, can you not even be afraid of death? Isn't death the most terrifying thing?"

"It's not." Lothar patted Akali's head. "There are more things in this world that are more terrifying than death. That's how the world of adults is."

"It's so complicated..." Akali sighed deeply.

She suddenly felt that she didn't seem to be particularly looking forward to growing up.

Chapter 197 Karma

"Are you going too?" Lothar asked.

Sirik sat in the inn, drank his last sip of tea, and nodded: "Karan was taken away, and His Holiness has promised to seal Syndra, so it's useless for me to stay, Syndra... ...not something I can handle..."

Sirik remembered what she had seen that night. The entire fortress was floating under the power of Syndra, and she saw with her own eyes the Noxian battleships being thrown from the sky, the Noxians who had taken her home. Soldiers in Syndra's hands are like bugs that can be crushed at will.

Although she was very unwilling, she knew that she couldn't stand in front of Syndra's existence at all.

"I'm going back to meet my fellow countrymen." Sirik packed his bags. "What about you? Where are you going? Although you have an Ionian face, once your Noxian identity is revealed, it is possible It will still be very troublesome, will the Navoli brothers let you go?"

"I still have my own business to do." Lothar was drinking tea. He didn't know why Ionians liked to drink this bland, astringent water, but it really quenched thirst.

"That's it." Cirick said, "What about the little girl Akali? Are you still carrying it?"

"Can you let her go with you?"

Sirik gave a wry smile and said goodbye to Lothar.

Akali came downstairs with her disheveled hair yawning: "Has Siric gone?"

"She's going home." Lothar handed Akali a plate of candied fruit. "You should go home too."

"I'm not going back." Akali sat next to Lothar and tucked him a comb. "Help me sort it out."

Lothar said while combing: "You better go back, I have something to do myself, so I can't take you with me."

Akali was about to say something when a beautiful woman came downstairs.

"His Holiness Karma." The innkeeper and the staff saluted her with reverence in their eyes.

The monks and soldiers brought by Karma escorted Karan away. This inn seemed to belong to the Temple of Longevity, and Karma took them to stay here for one night.

Karma smiled faintly at the boss and the man, and the two of them understood and left the hall.

"I don't know who you are." Karma sat down at Lothar's table and looked at him, "but I probably know who you are."

Lothar didn't answer, wondering how much Karma, who was so enchantingly written by Swain, could know.

Karma poured herself a cup of tea: "The spirit of nature told me that the two magical powers in you do not belong to Ionia, you are from outside."

Lothar nodded: "What are you going to do to me?"

"Don't worry, I don't actually exclude foreigners, as long as they don't come here for disputes." Karma took a sip of tea, "Are you?"

"No." Lothar said while combing Akali's sleepy hair, "I came to you for two things."

"Every day people come to me and beg me to do things," Karma said. "I can't satisfy everyone, but I will listen first and then do my best."

Akali pricked up her ears, and she also wanted to know the purpose of Fallen's arrival in Ionia.

"The first thing has to do with Syndra," said Lothar. "Syndra has built an air fortress, and a few of my friends are trapped in it. I don't know if they are alive or dead."

Akali suddenly regained her energy and said, "Air Fortress sounds amazing!"

"You want to save them." Karma nodded. "Who are they?"

"Demacian."

"Demacia" Akali was stunned, "Where is that?"

"What's their purpose in coming to Ionia?" Karma continued.

"I'm not very clear, it seems to be looking for someone." Lothar looked into Karma's eyes. For some reason, this woman made him feel very calm, "Can you help me with this?"

"I don't know." Karma said, "The land of Philo was taken away by Noxus for too long, and has basically lost contact with me. I can only hear Philo's cry slightly. I don't know. No matter how far Syndra has grown now, she is not sure of defeating her."

It was Akali who jumped out first, and the little girl's eyes widened: "Didn't you promise the stinky lion that he could seal that Syndra! You lied to him!"

"Don't panic, balanced child. What I'm saying is that I'm not sure of defeating Syndra." Karma wanted to reach out and touch Akali's head, but seemed to be afraid of messing up her hair again, "but I didn't say I wasn't sure about sealing her."

Akali knew that she was in a hurry, so she sat down again embarrassedly, put on the honorific and said, "You know I'm from the Equilibrium sect."

"Before you came, Cuckoo Bird and Blue Tide Mouse told me your news." Karma smiled softly, "They said you were a very energetic little girl."

"It's very temperamental," Lothar corrected, showing off his Ionian language skills by leaps and bounds.

Akali howled and rushed towards Lothar, and Karma seemed to look at Lothar with some relief: "The spirit of nature told me that you are dangerous, but I think you may be a good person."

"I'm in danger." Lothar pushed Akali, who was biting her shoulder, away. "To be precise, I should be in danger."

"Well..." Karma blinked, "I can see that you have not controlled the magic in your body. There is a very powerful force in your body, and it is constantly hurting you."

Akali looked at Karma in surprise: "You read it wrong! This guy won't die if he gets chopped to the neck!"

"Trust my judgment, balanced child." Karma said solemnly to Lothar, "I have never seen you in such a situation, but I think you will be unable to hold on if you continue like this."

"I know too." Lothar looked at Karma sincerely, "that's why I came to you, can you save me?"

Akali was a little flustered, she was puzzled, she looked at Luo Ji as a healthy person. Although her body was a little colder, it wasn't life-threatening.

Karma was silent, the emerald light in her eyes continued to flow, and Lothar felt that Karma had seen every part of her body translucent.

"I may... have a few ways to save you." Karma said hesitantly.

Lothar was overjoyed. As expected of Karma, who had carried countless knowledge, she could come up with several ways to save him just by looking at him.

Akali patted Lothar reassuringly: "His Holiness said she has several solutions, try one by one, and she will always succeed."

"Don't be too happy." Karma said, "Your situation has never been seen before, and Karma has never faced a problem like yours in the past, so I can't guarantee that these methods are really effective, and..."

Akali asked more anxiously than Lothar, "And what?"

Karma tapped the table lightly with her fingers: "I need to make sure that you are worth my rescue."

"What do you need me to do?" Lothar made up his mind. He finally saw the hope of returning home, and he must grasp it. "As long as I can do it, I will do it."

Karma thought for a while: "Or... you can go with me to seal Syndra."

——————————————————————————————————————————

Kalmar carries more knowledge than you can imagine.

Karma is a sage and sage who is famous throughout Ionia. The accumulation of knowledge over countless years has made her wisdom extremely profound. If she can't think of any way to save you, then maybe few people in the whole world know about it.

By the way, Karma passed on not only knowledge but also power.

In other words, don't mess with her, or you will bear the wrath of not one person, but all of Ionia.

—Excerpt from an untitled book by Swain to Lothar

Chapter 198 Sweet Rice Hotel

Karma could sense Syndra's whereabouts, and she led Lothar and Akali all the way north.

This gave Lothar a little confidence in Karma's power. He did see Syndra's air fortress drifting north when he was in Philor, and Karma knew where to go without even asking. gone.

Although the people who were with him changed a lot at once, but Luo Si didn't leave, Akali felt that she could return to the Equilibrium Sect later.

"So when girls grow up, their chests and butts will become very bulging, right?" Akali took Lothar's hand and swayed a ghost camphor branch in the other hand to drive away the stingers in the forest. Naughty bug, "I thought I wouldn't be like that. It's so cumbersome to grow so many lumps of meat, how can I not grow?"

Karma walked slowly beside the two of them. In order not to attract attention, she changed her monastic robe and concealed the double dragon jade ring behind her. Although she only wore a plain white cloak, it was still difficult to hide her graceful figure. , looks very pleasing to the eye: "Girls' **** and buttocks grow up as a natural law. They are organs for the healthy growth of future generations, not superfluous burdens."

Lothar felt that Karma was a really different woman.

Usually, if he and Akali were talking about men and women, Cirick would always come out with a black face to stop it. Lothar was not stupid. He gradually understood that Ionia was more conservative about this kind of thing. Indeed, when Lothar walked the streets of Ionia, it was rare to see a woman who was particularly scantily clad.

But Karma doesn't seem to have such concerns. Whenever Akali asks questions, she always explains carefully and patiently, and even tells Akali some fables.

"Is that man's dragon getting bigger and bigger?" Akali was eager for knowledge, and no one in the sect would talk to her about it.

Karma smiled, without a trace of embarrassment on her face: "Yes, just like birds grow very beautiful feathers to attract lovers when spring comes. Both men and women, these growth and changes are for the love of the beloved. Own."

"So it's like this..." Akali felt that she had opened the door to a new world. She used to think that the more muscular a man was, the more attractive he would be, but she didn't expect that there were so many doors.

"Ah, Chan Flower Butterfly!" Akali was still learning about youth just now, but a colorful butterfly flying in front of her immediately attracted all her attention, and she let go of Lothar's hand and ran to chase.

"I didn't expect the noble Karma to tell these things to the little girl." Losar said.

"feel weird"

"Slightly, I thought Ionians were conservative, but it seems I misunderstood."

"You are not misunderstood." Karma raised her head, her emerald eyes reflecting the dappled sunlight through the leaves, "Ionia has always been a very conservative place, we are self-sufficient, we do not communicate with the outside world, we are each satisfied The happiness in that little corner of my own has always been an afterthought."

Lothar looked at Karma strangely. This woman should be one of the most respected people in Ionia, but she doesn't seem to agree with Ionian traditions very much.

"Oh, you're not an Ionian, I probably shouldn't have told you so much." Karma smiled, "Ionia is a place with many rules, it's very important to follow the rules, you don't want to do it because of how you look. Too many outrageous things like the Ionians."

"for example?"

Karma pointed to Akali, who was jumping in front of her: "Abducting other people's children, if they are caught, they will be executed."

"Didn't you see that I persuaded her to go back?" Lothar said with a wry smile, "What can I do if she doesn't go back?"

"Don't be nervous." Karma stretched out her hand and lifted it forward. The butterfly that had been hiding from Akali landed on the little girl's fingertips. Akali exclaimed with joy.

Karma looked at Akali with a smile: "She is a child of the Equilibrium sect, do you know the Equilibrium sect?"

"I heard Karan say it, but I don't understand it." Lothar really didn't know what the Equilibrium sect was, and the book Swain gave him didn't specifically state it. He only knew that Ionia had quite a few martial arts and magic. Inheritance, and thus gave birth to many families, monasteries and sects.

"It's okay if you don't know, you shouldn't have a chance to get in touch with them." Karma said, "The Equilibrium sect is mostly hidden from the world. Akali is still able to come out because she is still young. When she is older, she will In the sect, I retreated and practiced hard."

"No wonder she doesn't want to go back..." Lothar thought thoughtfully, with Akali's playful personality, not being able to retreat would be more uncomfortable than death for her.

"Kalan said that Akali should be protected by her elder counterparts." Lothar asked, "How come no one has come to pick her up after so long, will the Equilibrium sect not forget her?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Karma looked to the side of the forest, her eyes seemed to see through the layers of dense forest, and saw a farther place, "Akali is safe, otherwise I would not agree with her and us Let's find Syndra together."
