lol: Bind Syndra at the start

When you concentrate hard to see clearly, you find that all you can see are colors stretched into lines.

Ryan sat next to the boy. He took out a gold coin and handed it to the boy in advance. "Your reward."

The boy's eyes were drawn to the gold coins. "We're not there yet."

"The brave can enjoy the fruits of war in advance."

The boy looked at him for a moment. "If you weren't Ionian, I'd think you were one of those traffickers the adults talk about, the ones who kidnap children to Noxus or Shurima."

"If I were that kind of trafficker, I wouldn't choose someone like you..." Ryan thought for a moment, "I would kidnap Ignat when he was a child."

The boy smiled when he heard that. He thought for a moment and asked, "What opportunity are you talking about?"

"A chance to see Irelia and follow her."

"!"

The boy's eyes instantly shifted away from the gold coins.

For a moment, Ryan thought he saw fire in the boy's eyes.

I still underestimated Irelia's appeal to children.

Children's minds are not as "thoughtful" as adults', and they are instinctively attracted to beautiful things and heroic deeds.

"You actually know Irelia!"

"Is this strange?"

"Is it because of your face?" the boy asked, looking up.

It seems that after experiencing the reception desk, Wukong's mother... and now Irelia, the boy has some unrealistic inferences in his heart.

Ryan felt that this was a misunderstanding of himself, but he felt that it was unnecessary to argue about this with a child.

He lowered his head and looked at the boy, deliberately lingering on his face for several seconds before answering:

"Some things are innate. If you don't have them, you have to think about how to work in other directions."

......

The carriage stopped.

The burly man driving the car shouted to the back, "Get out of the car, we're here."

Ryan opened the windshield and got out of the car.

The boy followed closely behind. He reached out and tugged at Ryan's trouser leg. "Are you calling me ugly?"

"You said it yourself."

Ryan said, looking at the strong man, "Lead the way."

There are no villages or towns nearby, and it is some distance from the sea.

Because the road was difficult to travel on, they got off the carriage early and walked on the soft mud to a more remote location.

About ten minutes later, the strong man pointed to a big tree in front and said, "This is it."

Ryan looked over and found that there were indeed traces of magic on the big tree.

"Every time we walk over and pat the tree trunk, the adults from the Order of the Balance will come here after a while."

The strong man talked about how they met.

"Wasn't it an appointment in advance?"

“We don’t know how to contact the adults.”

"Then how do you know when they need you to arrest someone for them?" Ryan asked.

"You don't need to know. Anyone who breaks the rules will be taken in by the adults."

Accept everyone who comes?

Ryan increasingly felt that something was not right with these adults from the Order of the Balance.

This behavior was clearly more like what he understood as a cult.

"You can just wait here..." Ryan said to the strong man.

"How long do I have to wait?" The strong man looked up at the sea. "It might rain tonight."

"If it rains, you go first."

After Ryan finished speaking, he habitually wanted to take another gold coin.

But the boy raised his head and said, "I don't need the gold coins anymore, but you must remember your promise and let me see Irelia!"

After putting the gold coins away, Ryan patted the boy's shoulder and said, "I won't lie to you."

"I still think you're lying." The boy muttered as he followed Ryan.

"why?"

"Because I don't understand why you would spend so much money just to let me realize my dream."

"So your dream is to meet Irelia?"

The boy corrected him, "To meet Irelia, and then help her drive the Noxians away!"

"This is why..." Lion told the boy, "It's easy to drive the Noxians away once, but if we want to prevent them from coming again, Ionia needs many, many young people like you."

The whole thing originated from Ryan's whim.

But it was also because of the boy's 'mature' behavior that caught his attention.

Only now did Ryan suddenly understand why many people once said that a casual action by someone could change another person's life.

I have already changed the boy's future trajectory.

But it’s also because the boy is worth it;

Ionia is also worth it.

"Like me?"

"You are young, smart, brave... and most importantly, kind but not blindly kind. And you have a grandmother."

"What happened to my grandma?"

"Irelia also has a grandmother. You can talk to her more about this when the time comes."

"I......"

The boy wanted to ask something else.

Anyone who is about to meet their idol will be unable to suppress their inner excitement.

Especially a boy.

But Ryan had quickened his pace. He walked to the big tree and knocked on the trunk as the strong man said.

'Weng'

A magical aura rose from a place the boy couldn't perceive.

And then... Ryan looked to the south.

The magical aura was transmitted in this direction.

"What are you going to do if the other party is not from the Order of the Kinkou?" the boy asked.

"Then capture them and force them to tell you where Ignat is."

"What if the other party is from the Order of the Balance?"

"Then just ask them where Ignat is."

"What if they don't tell you? Are you going to fight them? Can you...can you beat them? I mean, the people who come here don't necessarily have to be women. What if it's a man? Can you beat him?"

Ryan looked down at the boy. He knew that the other party was being chatty because he was nervous.

"They'll tell me."

"why?"

"Because there's someone above me."

Ryan carries with him the 'dart' given to him by Master Dolan.

He believed that if the other party was really a member of the Order of the Balance, he would definitely recognize that this was Kenan's thing.

And I can figure out what the misunderstanding is here, rescue Ignat first, and then find Kenan through these people from the Order of the Balance.

This is pretty much the same as my original plan.

The only difference was that he had originally planned to ask Ignat to help him find a nearby temple.

But now, Ignat has gone ahead on his own.

Ryan didn't answer the boy's question because he saw two figures appear in the distance.

As the figure appeared, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

It's like shit that has been covered for a long time.

Chapter 181 Justice to be Tested

"They're coming!"

The boy couldn't sense aura, but he could see.

As the two figures slowly approached, he could even clearly see the style of the robes they were wearing, as well as the familiar mark of balance.

"They are from the Order of the Kinkou, so are you going to tell them the name of the man above you?"

The boy looked up and asked.

At his age, he is in a critical period of establishing his worldview.

And Ryan is the most 'powerful' person he has ever come into contact with.

Their behavior and motivations will cause boys to unconsciously imitate them.

Until now, the boy felt that although Ryan's behavior was "weird", he always used his face or connections to pressure others.

But these actions did work, and he even began to figure out the patterns behind them.

"I changed my mind."

Ryan put the dart back.

He finally remembered what this familiar stench was.

This is... the breath of Azakana!

Previously in Morning Glory Village, he had only 'smelled' this scent after approaching the illusion created by Azakana.

And now, thanks to the gifts from the spirits of Barue, his "sense of smell" for the existence of these spiritual realms has become much more sensitive.

The main mission of the Order of the Balance is to resist these evil spirits that invade from the spiritual realm.

But as they gazed into the abyss, the abyss also gazed into them.

This group of people are actually the ones most easily affected by evil spirits.

Ryan remembered that in Kenan's background story, there was a mention of a temple located in Zhiyun.

One day, the people there suddenly asked for help from the headquarters, claiming that evil spirits had appeared and polluted their temple.

But when the Yodel who controls thunder traveled across mountains and rivers to get there, he found that the evil spirit did not exist.

In other words, evil spirits exist, but they exist attached to humans.

As a human being, you will have negative emotions, and negative emotions are the source of food for Azakana.

Ordinary people are terrified of war and death, and are chosen as their hosts.

The Kinkou may not fear death or war, but their rules constrain them, forcing them to watch as their compatriots are slaughtered by Noxians.

This goes against their inner choices and will cause a flaw in their defenses.

And these flaws are Azakana's opportunities.

In the background story, only the location of the Temple of Lesha is recorded.

But against the backdrop of the Noxian invasion, Llane didn't think the people from other temples would remain indifferent.
