lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Chapter 29: Yasuo Konde

Not every place has a pub.

Not every place has people who have so much free time to do nothing but inquire about the outside world news every day.

But everyone has the need to communicate and exchange.

Maybe they don't need to know the detailed news and are not interested in those details, but everyone is willing to listen to the "headline" and then expand their thinking based on their understanding of the title while chatting.

About two or three days ago, Gouya Temple released the news.

Said they had dealt with a demon that had been plaguing Ionia for years.

The old man didn't know which demon it was, but he still had a couple of drinks to celebrate when he heard the news.

"It's the Golden Demon."

Ryan also learned the news while on the road.

And he knew a little more than the old man.

It is said that Hui, who officially took over Goucha Temple, announced the news directly after taking office.

When the news spread, people from the monastery prison contacted Gouya Temple and proposed to transfer Jin to another place of detention.

This is an Ionian consensus.

No matter whether it is a sect or a temple, after catching such a serious criminal, they will hand him over to the monastery prison for handling.

But Hui, the new host, rejected the proposal, which made this already shocking news even more discussed.

Some people think that Gouya Temple is no longer pure.

Some people believe that other sects must also make changes.

But for more people, it is just a topic of conversation after dinner.

"Hmm? That should be his name." The old man pursed his lips. "I heard he killed a lot of people. Did you get hurt when you caught him?"

"Luckily, no one was injured."

"That's good, that's good..." The old man slapped his head, "I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Asa Konde."

Asa Conde?

Ryan was stunned for a moment.

If he didn't know how he had been living in the past two years, he would really feel that he had been spending the past two years as a bed companion for the goddess of luck.

Or......

Is Syndra the goddess of luck?

What’s the difference between this luck and cheating?

Isn't Asa Conde the old man who picked up Riven in the original story?

Thinking of this, Ryan looked back at Riven.

The latter is not aware of anything at all and is still entangled in the past and the present.

Ryan pursed his lips. Maybe it wasn't because he was lucky, but because Riven was indeed destined to be with this family.

Even though I didn't pick it up in the rice field that night, I still see it now.

"My name is Ryan and her name is Riven."

"Okay, okay, what are you doing here? Collecting folk songs?"

Asa Konde is no stranger to painters.

Or rather, the whole of Ionia is no stranger to this group of painters.

For hundreds of years, painters from the Temple of the Cliffs have been found almost everywhere in Ionia.

Although they are not explorers, they do things very similar to explorers.

That is to uncover all the land hidden under the veil of mystery, and then take a closer look to see if there are any "treasures" hidden inside.

"It's just a side trip to collect folk songs. Mainly to pay tribute to Elder Su Ma and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Ryan was being sincere because he wasn't lying.

In the magical land of Ionia, every living creature grows under the nourishment of magic, and their illusory sixth sense is somewhat more acute than that of people in other places.

The master of Gouya Temple told him that in this land, sincerity is the best killer weapon, whether it is treating people or other creatures.

"Elder Suma..." Asa Konde's expression darkened a little.

In the original novel, both the knights who captured Riven and the judges of the Inquisition recognized him, which is enough to prove that although he was an ordinary person, he still had a certain reputation in the nearby villages.

"Do you all know this already?" asked Asa Conde.

"understood."

Ryan nodded.

If he knows it, then it is impossible that others don't know it.

Even if you try to conceal something like this, you can't keep it secret for long.

What's more, the Yufeng Sword Sect had no intention of hiding it.

There's no such thing as a dirty laundry that shouldn't be aired in public in Ionia, at least not in the Wind Sword Sect.

"The matter of Elder Su Ma has been concluded..." The wrinkles on the old man's face deepened as his tone of voice deepened. His attitude was enough to prove that the people here were not going to hide this matter from the outside world or the painters of Gouya Temple. "The judges found traces of the Gale Sword Technique at the place where Elder Su Ma was in trouble.

"Every one of us knows that there are only two people in the world who can use the Gale Sword Technique. One is Elder Suma... and the other is Elder Suma's disciple, Yasuo!

"He was supposed to be Elder Suma's bodyguard, but he heard about the Noxian invasion not long ago. This shouldn't have been something he needed to consider, but he left without permission during this critical moment. Elder Suma said he was going to intercept...

"We don't know when he left, nor when he came back, but none of that matters. What matters is what he did! Now all the evidence points to Yasuo doing it..."

Asa Conde's tone was a little hesitant when he said this, obviously confused as to why Yasuo did this, but he quickly omitted the reason and cursed, "It must be those despicable Noxians who seduced Yasuo!"

The Ionians' exclusion of the Noxians has almost become a matter of course here.

No matter what, if you curse Noxus, you will always find a lot of people to agree with you.

"..."

Riven, who had finally adjusted her mentality, lowered her head even lower.

There was clearly nothing around her, but she always felt as if there were sharp thorns hidden in the air.

Even the surrounding crops seemed to be rejecting her, the evil Noxian.

She subconsciously moved closer to Ryan.

Whether it was the aura Ryan exuded when they first met, or the magical aura Ryan released when he saved Asa Conde just now, she felt a sense of sympathy.

No matter what the painter's intention is.

But the power he wields is ultimately evil. This may deceive the old farmer in front of him, but it cannot deceive her eyes or the natural spirits around him.

But when she looked up at Ryan, she found that Ryan, who was rejected by the environment, was not as upset as she was.

He always seems to have a calm and composed temperament.

She envied this temperament.

Ryan comforted Asa Conde a few times with a harmonious voice.

Without any evidence, it was impossible for him to tell the truth and tell the old man that Yasuo was wronged.

All he could do now was to find evidence first.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again:

"Can I go and see Elder Suma's remains?"

Chapter 30 Portrait

Perhaps it is because when the game was first designed, the designers borrowed a lot of Asian elements when depicting Ionia. Therefore, in this world, many of Ionia's traditions are familiar to Lion.

Ceremony is often held after the death of a respected elder.

No matter where you come from, as long as you are sincere, you can go to pay your respects to the deceased.

Asa Konde was a little embarrassed. "Elder Suma's body hasn't been cleaned up yet. Perhaps you can wait a little longer."

In order to investigate the murderer of Elder Suma and related information.

Elder Su Ma's body was not collected immediately.

At this stage, the main task of the entire Yufeng Sword Sect is to find the murderer who killed Elder Su Ma.

This resulted in funerals being much slower than usual.

But for Ryan.

Time is much more valuable than money.

It was impossible for him to wait here until everything was settled before touching Elder Suma's body.

But what excuse can be used to get an outsider involved?

Ryan thought about it, and suddenly said:

"Perhaps Elder Suma needs an artist to paint a portrait for him?"

There are no cameras in this world. Even in the last world, some wealthy people were more accustomed to using portraits instead of photos.

Ryan once knew an art student who went abroad to study. His part-time job abroad was drawing board paintings.

His main employer is a Zhejiang-born man in his seventies.

The old man would ask him to paint a picture every year to keep as a backup.

But what Ryan remembered most was not this, but that his friend said that the yard of the old man's 700-square-meter villa was full of vegetables.

All I can say is that some things are engraved in our genes.

"?"

When Asa Konde heard this, the wrinkles on his face twitched. There were painters in the village, but how could those painters compare to the master of Gouya Temple?

He said without any hesitation:

"If you like, I can go and tell them."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Asa."

"Hey, how can you say it's a trouble? You are willing to paint Elder Suma's portrait. It's our thanks to you..."

Asa Conde put down the plow frame and pulled Ryan's sleeve, "Come, come, I'll take you to my house first, and then I'll talk to the judges..."

......

......

Asa Conde's home was ordinary in Ionia, but only because it was Ionia.

In other places, an ordinary Ionian house would be enough to be listed as a wonder.

After all, in this magical land, people don't need to build houses with their own hands.

The rich magical atmosphere permeates every corner of Ionia like the air, giving everything a layer of spirituality.

When you need a wooden house, you just need to get along well with the wood spirits, and the trees will grow into the shape of a house.

The only 'hidden danger' is that your house will continue to grow according to its own will.

For example, at this moment, Ryan was staring blankly at a protruding wooden stake not far away.

When he first arrived, the ground was flat, but after he sat there for a while, a wooden stake grew out of nowhere.

Ryan had thought only his own tree house was like this, but now it seems other people's tree houses have their own temperaments too.

It seems that only temples with a long history like Gouya Temple can make the tree spirits behave themselves.

Otherwise, over thousands of years, those ancient temples like Gouya Temple would have turned into a forest.

Not far from him, Asa Conde's wife, Sava Conde, was asking the bewildered Riven about her well-being.

This situation made Ryan look sideways.

It seemed as if the facts were proving to him that fate in this world was like magic, and there were traces to follow.
