"Well... then you... forget it, it's nothing..." Syndra pursed her lips, but still did not say the second half of the sentence.
But Chen Ce had already guessed: "I'll be back later - just an hour or two, and I'll bring you the food when it's dinner time."
"Oh..." Syndra responded and turned her head away.
She didn't want anyone to see her weak look.
Only walls are safe…
The walls won't laugh at her or do anything bad to her...
He will not abandon her and leave her to a so-called mentor who wants to betray her...
Syndra thought so.
Until a strange touch came from the top of her head - a hand on the top of her head.
In an instant, her crown transformed by magic suddenly disappeared, and countless soft silver hair fell down like a waterfall.
"We will become very good friends, Miss Sindra... So for now, let's say goodbye."
"..."
Syndra didn't look back or respond until the hand was removed from her head.
Then, the sound of the door closing sounded.
She was the only one left in the room.
She felt her body stiffen and could even hear her own strange and restless heartbeat.
She turned her head carefully, looked at the closed door, and then at the... empty bottle on the table.
It was the empty bottle she had just finished drinking, and Chen Ce didn't take it away.
Her beautiful cheeks were still slightly flushed.
She looked at the mouth of the empty bottle and suddenly thought of something very important - before she drank the potion...
Chen Ce once tried to prove that the potion was non-toxic...
and……
Syndra's already red cheeks became even redder.
The warm feeling on the top of my head seemed to linger for a long time.
She nervously lay down and covered her whole body with a quilt.
but……
in the quilt...
There seems to be that person's scent too...
"broken……"
Chapter 91 Ahli: Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is blowing~
Callan stood on the deck of the Scarlet Huntress, facing the sea, heartbroken.
He still failed to prevent Syndra from regaining freedom... He failed to stop Chen Ce's "trick".
Years of hard work come to nothing, and he begins to question whether his sacrifice was in vain - meaningless.
Night fell again, and the patrols were still lingering near the crenel.Still the familiar stop and salute, still the familiar look of hatred.
"Alas..." Karan sighed heavily for the first time in a long time. The fierceness and viciousness on his face were no longer there, leaving only vicissitudes of life and exhaustion.
And deep doubts about myself.
After a long time, he turned around and faced another person on the deck - the "evil man" who deceived him.
Chen Ce.
"Your goal has been achieved..." His decadent tone was full of helplessness, but not much resentment. "Then why do you stay here...do you want to see my joke..."
"No, Mr. Karan." Chen Ce performed a standard traditional Ionian etiquette to this respectable Vastaya warrior, "I'm here to apologize to you."
"There's no need to apologize...just go..."
"I will leave Filor, but I hope it will be with you."
"I have no way back... I'll just stay here to contain these 33 warships..." Karan sighed again, looking at the other side of the sea with deep nostalgia in his eyes.
"I will sink to the bottom of the sea with these 33 warships... I have only one request, Mr. Chen Ce - I hope you can find my two boys after returning to Presidian, and then tell them... They My father is not a traitor."
"I'm sorry I can't agree to this request, Mr. Karan." Chen Ce shook his head.
"Why?"
"I wish you could say it yourself to your two boys - I will vouch for you. And everyone."
"You don't understand... Ferol Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the resistance forces repel the Noxian invaders, it will be difficult to regain it in a short time, and the casualties will be countless... Best The best way is for me to stay here, at least I can ensure that these warships will not take the initiative to attack the other side."
Karan paused, as if something was choking his throat.
But soon, his tone became relieved again:
"When necessary, I will use black powder to blow up these warships... It is better for me to sink to the bottom of the sea with them than for them to attack the new land."
"Why is this necessary?" Chen Ce shook his head again and cast his gaze towards the cabin of the Scarlet Huntress - there was a being in a room there that made Karan extremely frightened. "We can help you deal with all the enemies on Filor Island, just think of it as a gift to Presidium."
"This is impossible...Mr. Chen Ce, you have to understand that the people staying here are Noxus veterans. They are experienced and cunning. There are more than 1000 people but they have a fighting strength of no less than 5000."
"It doesn't matter if it's 5 people."
"Do you want to..." Karan seemed to have guessed something, "to use that person's power?"
"Yes." Chen Ce didn't hide it, "In front of Syndra, there is no difference between 1000 people, 5000 people and 5 people."
"But she will destroy everything!" Karan, who was already bored, suddenly became a little angry, "Do you think she can be controlled? She is the embodiment of hatred and power! Not only Philol...she will destroy All of Ionia!"
Faced with this angry accusation, Chen Ce did not argue with reason, nor did he respond with the same anger. He only calmly said softly: "Please believe me, Mr. Karan - this is the last time."
"But you have already deceived me once!"
"So I'm here to apologize to you. I will only deceive you once."
"Humans who are full of lies!" As a feline, Karan subconsciously bared his teeth. The sharp fangs and claws looked particularly eye-catching against the moonlight.
He was remorseful, he was miserable, and he even began to attack personally.
But Chen Ce can understand him. "Things have happened, why don't you choose to cooperate with me again? Think about your two little boys - please believe me, Mr. Karan, I never wanted to harm you."
Karan's throat roared, but the ferocity on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a tired look.
Even begging.
"Mr. Chen Ce...she really...she really can't control it..."
"Time will tell."
"But we don't have time anymore..."
"A few days, just a few days." Chen Ce bowed in the darkness, "In a few days, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to respond, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness of the deck.
Callan's feline eyes could still catch a bit of the afterimage, but he made no move to stop it.
Things have come to this, and he can't change anything anymore.
He had no choice but to acquiesce.
Perhaps out of compulsion.
Or maybe it's because of...
The last bit of trust.
As night falls, it's time for dinner.
Sindra was alone in the room, covering her head with a quilt, silently counting the agreed time in her heart - Chen Ce had said he would come back to find her at dinner time.
In fact, it is already very late now - the sun has already disappeared among the mountains, so it is reasonable to say that it is already dinner time.
But she is in no hurry.
Because in her world view, dinner is always eaten very late - whether it was at home or while "practicing" in the temple, she would always wait until late at night before eating dinner.
As for her countdown…
It's not that she was hungry or looking forward to Chen Ce's return, but she really had nothing to do.
The surrounding environment was extremely unfamiliar, and the magic power in her body was severely lacking. This made her feel insecure and she didn't even dare to sleep.
The only thing she could do now was to silently count the time and wait for Chen Ce to come back to her.
She sincerely hoped that the weirdo who said he would become a good friend with her would not deceive her...
Knowing what kind of bad things he has done, knowing how terrible he is, knowing how much he hates Ionians... he still wants to be friends with himself, what a weirdo...
But I don’t hate it either…
It's just a little weird...
Ten thousand,840 two seconds...Ten thousand,840 three seconds...Ten thousand,840 four seconds...
Eleven thousand,450 seconds...Eleven thousand,450 one second...
eleven thousand--
bang.
When Sindelamo counted to 11451 seconds, the door was pushed open.
She still didn't poke her head out from under the quilt, let alone look back, but she already knew who was coming - she recognized the breath on the other person's body.
"Good evening, Miss Sindra." Chen Ce's voice sounded near the door, and then got closer and closer. "I'm here to bring you dinner...it's a bit late, please forgive me."
"Well..." Syndra slowly poked her head out of the bed, as if she had just woken up - of course, this was just pretending, she had never fallen asleep at all.
She looked at the plate in the other person's hand, and she was very moved by the long-lost food - she hadn't eaten in decades.
Those fragrant meats and attractively colored vegetables... She swallowed unconsciously.
But there was no rush to start.
She also had to maintain her aloof image of keeping strangers away.
"Eat, eat, I have specially prepared these for you." Chen Ce smiled, as if he had discovered something. "If it's not enough, I'll cook some for you later."
"Enough." Syndra nodded indifferently and waved her fingers lazily.
In an instant, everything around her started to move under the control of her magic power - first, the quilt covering her body "bounced" and moved to the end of the bed, then folded itself into one and placed it; then the quilt in front of her The spoon automatically scooped up a small piece of meat and floated it to her mouth.
Just like magical girls in anime.
Needless to say, taking the Corruption Potion restored a bit of her magic power.
She was showing off her skills.
She opened her small mouth slightly and elegantly took the piece of meat on the spoon.
Then, her eyes lit up.
After that, she stopped showing off her skills.
Magic is not as good as your own hands. Of course, you have to do it yourself to enjoy the meal.
Chen Ce couldn't help laughing for a moment as he watched the "girl" in front of him who looked like she had been hungry for decades...well, okay, really hungry for decades, wolfing down the food.
"Why are you laughing...!" Sindra's face turned red again as she felt she was being laughed at.
"Nothing, nothing..." Chen Ce still couldn't help but laugh.
Syndra raised her eyebrows, and the iron spoon in front of her instantly bent.
Of course, the rice should still be put in its place - if you are angry... you have to eat when you are angry!
Seeing this, Chen Ce also knew that if he didn't explain clearly, his body would be bent next. "I really wasn't laughing at you, Miss Syndra."
"Then why are you laughing...!" Syndra's beautiful purple eyes were full of anger.
