lol: Bind Syndra at the start

The boy pursed his lips and his eyes began to wander.

He knew how to be cautious, but he still lacked experience in dealing with similar situations.

"What are you worried about?" Ryan took out the gold coins again, and this time he grabbed several.

'Snapped. '

"Clatter..."

The first gold coin fell on the table with a dull sound, and the subsequent gold coins fell on the first gold coin, making the sound gradually crisper.

The boy's breathing became rapid with the sound of gold coins.

"Let me guess. You just mentioned arrest. Does that mean he was caught by the inquisition, and therefore he's unwilling to tell me the details?"

Ryan tried to keep his expression and tone relaxed.

He didn't want this conversation to turn into an 'interrogation' of the boy.

Without waiting for the boy to answer, he picked up a gold coin and handed it to the boy, "One gold coin for each question you ask."

!

The boy's eyes lit up visibly. This time, his hesitation lasted only three seconds. "Not the Inquisition!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took the gold coins from Ryan and put them in his pocket, as if he was afraid that Ryan would go back on his word.

"It wasn't the Tribunal, but you used the word arrest?" Ryan didn't think the boy was deliberately playing tricks with the word, and such a simple word couldn't possibly lead to any misunderstanding, so he asked, "So, were the people who arrested him from this town?"

"no!"

The boy took another gold coin, trying poorly to control his expression.

But the curve of his mouth looked like the AK in a game in his previous life.

Neither?

Ryan couldn't figure out why an outsider would let the boy use the word "arrest", but he had to first confirm whether Ignat was still alive.

“Are they good people?”

Another gold coin was handed over.

This time the boy was silent for a long time. A ray of light came in from the window, making the gold coins shine with fascinating colors.

"I don't know either..." The boy finally gave an ambiguous answer.

"So he might be in danger now, or even dead?"

The boy looked up when he heard this, but found that no gold coins were handed to him this time.

Ryan lowered his head and looked at the light and shadow that outlined the window, as if he was mumbling to himself and thinking.

The whisper was very soft, but the boy's ears were always very sensitive.

Ryan's words made the boy realize something he had never considered before.

That is...will Ignat, who was captured by that group of people, be in danger!

The gold coins in his pocket suddenly felt heavier, and the boy lowered his head. The light and shadow on the ground seemed to have taken him back to that night...

As usual, he wandered the empty streets, like a cheetah on the grassland in the story, searching for "prey" that could be taken home.

But then he saw Ignat appear on the corner.

The other party had a lot of drawing papers in his hand, and took advantage of the time when there were few people around at night to stick these papers on the pillars where the lantern bugs were placed.

The boy walked over slowly and tore off a piece of paper. There were several lines of nonsense written on it that he couldn't understand.

But beneath the ghost story was a crude painting of a ship with a skull and crossbones flag flying on it.

So after Ignate coaxed his grandmother, he wanted to use this method to coax other people!

The boy was a little angry about this.

Rumors of pirates would reduce the number of tourists and thus his income.

It will also make his grandmother worried and she will not allow him to go out, further reducing his income!

Therefore, Ignat is posted in front.

The boy followed behind and tore it apart all the way.

Slowly they came to a more remote location, and the boy, fearing that he would be discovered, did not follow closely.

He followed from a distance, and then heard the other party's shouting after Ignat turned a corner.

The boy followed curiously, only to find two burly men running over from somewhere, having already caught Ignat.

What the other party was saying was unclear due to Ignat's strange cry.

It wasn't until Ignat's mouth was covered that he could hear the man's voice clearly.

They say Ignat is spreading lies and disrupting the... order of the town.

Finally, the two men captured Ignat.

The boy hid quietly behind a standing board and did not dare to make a sound.

But with the help of the faint light from the lantern bug, he saw the faces of the two men.

......

Ryan, who was still thinking, suddenly saw the boy coming over.

"I...I know who took him away!"

The boy was obviously a little frightened, but he still spoke out.

"Are you willing to tell me?" Ryan smiled at the boy.

The faint gloomy atmosphere at this moment actually succeeded in calming the boy down.

As he took a few steps forward, his tender cheeks were illuminated by the light coming in from outside.

"Although Ignat is a little clumsy and a little annoying, he's a good guy overall!" the boy said slowly. "Every year when he comes here, he brings a lot of snacks, and he shares them with us...

"When grandma was sick, he would carry her outside to bask in the sun..."

The boy praised Ignat, but in reality he was trying to convince himself, "If no one helps this idiot, he might be in real danger!"

"Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Ryan asked.

"At worst, I can just take Grandma and leave!" The boy glanced back at his 'home'; this house held no warmth for him. "Ignat came back this time and told me about his great achievements. Even Irelia met him in person!"

He paused for a moment as he recalled the admiration and pride his grandmother had shown him when Ignat had boasted.

The boy's expression grew more resolute.

"If even a fool like him can achieve great things, then why should I stay in this cold little room?! I will also be the pride of grandma!"

Chapter 178: The Balance Sect

"just in front!"

The boy pointed to a hotel ahead.

This was Ryan's first target when he was looking for a hotel. There were exquisite sculptures and colorful flower fences at the door.

"It's yours."

Ryan handed the boy a gold coin.

The boy had previously selectively ignored Ignat's safety, but that didn't mean the boy had a bad heart.

At his age, it is bad intention for someone to ask him to do something in that situation.

As for why he didn't tell others later... As he himself said, Ignat's family had been searching all over the town, what could he do?

Tell them who kidnapped Ignat, and then one night see those two burly men or their companions come to your house and beat you and your grandmother up... or even kill them directly?

If the boy were eighteen, then perhaps one could pick out problems from it.

But the boy was only eleven years old and had a grandmother at home who was not in good health.

For him, the fact that he was willing to stand up after Ryan pointed out that Ignat was in danger was enough to make people take notice.

Although the boy's excuse was that he wanted to make his grandmother proud, who would be willing to leave their hometown to pursue an illusory pride?

So Ryan chose to continue the 'transaction'. The boy told him the location, and he gave the boy another gold coin.

After watching the boy put the gold coins into his pocket, Ryan suddenly asked, "Do you still want to make money?"

"miss you!"

"Come in with me. I'll give you another gold coin if you find those two people."

"......" The boy was silent for a moment, then he nodded, "Okay!"

Even if he didn't go in, it would be difficult to hide this matter.

It's not late at night now, and countless people have seen him and Ryan together along the way.

The two entered the hotel.

It's called a hostel but it's more like a 'hotel'.

There is a reception desk as soon as you enter, and behind the reception desk is the restaurant.

"We're looking for someone."

Ryan said to the girl at the front desk with a smile.

The latter blushed slightly and then lowered his head shyly.

This scene made the boy a little envious.

He has reached the age where he understands the charm of the opposite sex, but unfortunately, the opposite sex does not find him attractive.

"Don't laugh in front of that group of people." The boy said suddenly.

"why?"

"I was afraid they would get angry and beat me too."

"Then remember to stand behind me later."

Ryan didn't care what the boy was saying.

Because under the boy's guidance, he saw the group of burly men.

They were gathered together, eating the food on the table with relish.

Ryan walked over and suddenly found that this group of people looked familiar.

When he raised his head and looked back, he indeed saw a familiar figure.

The long lavender hair fluttered slightly, and the woman also saw Ryan.

"What a coincidence." The woman came over.

"It's not a coincidence. I came here specifically to find them."

Ryan looked at the table next to him.

The strong men wanted to glare at Ryan, but after seeing the woman's attitude towards Ryan, their faces became twisted.

Like a little angry, and a little want to laugh.

"They?" The woman also looked at the strong men. She knew that these people were the bodyguards hired by her son, but on the surface they were "strangers" who had only met once.

"They are all good people." The woman explained first.

The strong men nodded in agreement one by one.

This scene made the boy's expression a little stiff.

His eyes lingered on the sturdy man's timid smile for a long time, and then wandered between Ryan and the woman.

It seemed that in this instant, a certain young worldview was shattered.

"There might be a misunderstanding. Just ask clearly." Ryan had no intention of taking action.

With his current strength, bullying ordinary people is like a king fighting against a robot. It is meaningless and a pure waste of time.

"They are very nice people. They will definitely answer any questions you ask," said the woman.
