The correct way to cultivate poros

Chapter 387 The Mage and the Red Wine

The soldier's attitude made Yasuo very unhappy, but he was more afraid of Annie's explosion in front of others.

Taking time to glance at Annie, she was in good condition, watching him explain to the soldier with great interest.This made Yasuo feel a little chilly, shouldn't a normal child be afraid when encountering such a thing?

Not reconciled, he tried to talk to the soldier again: "Brother, can you be more flexible, just let this little girl go to the city, and we will pay for it."

As long as Annie was sent to the city, Yasuo fulfilled his promise.

"Heh, who do you think we are?" The soldier spat hard on the ground, and stretched out his hand to press Yasuo's shoulder to push him off, but he was tightly clamped by his hand, unable to move.

The soldier was stunned. He was wearing a full set of armor, but through the protective gear, he could feel the hardness from the opponent's fingers that was no less than that of steel.Realizing that this was the Fortress of Immortality, the capital of Noxus, the soldiers flew into a rage.

"You're trying to find fault, aren't you?"

Just when the two sides met each other, Annie suddenly burst out laughing.

The little girl's laughter was very clear, but in this situation, it was so strange that even the soldiers stopped their hands because they were confused.

"why are you laughing?"

"Uncle, you're not from Noxus, are you? Your accent is so funny." Annie pointed at the soldier and laughed.

After she reminded him, Yasuo noticed that the soldier's complexion under the helmet was a dark brown close to that of his young apprentice Taliyah.This man is a Shurima, no wonder I heard his Noxus words so strange at first.

"So what if we don't? As long as we have a sharp sword in our hands and the will to fight in our hearts, no matter where we come from, we are all soldiers of the empire!" He suppressed his emotions, clenched his fist and hit his chest hard, and gave a solemn military salute. "For the Empire!"

"Soldier, don't embarrass them." A deep voice came from the side, and when they looked over, they found that it was a mage holding a rune staff.

This staff is made of iron, and the polished and smooth head of the staff is engraved with these rune imprints emitting faint green light. It can be seen that it belongs to a certain organization of Noxus.Yasuo narrowed his eyes, he seemed to be familiar with the rune on the staff, the last time he saw it was on the broken sword.

The low-key mage walked out of the crowd, came straight to the soldiers, and handed out a scroll that was bleached brightly from under the heavy robe, and the wax seal on it was still sealed. It looks very delicate.

The soldier withdrew the scroll from Erath's hand, and the scroll was ridiculously small between his thick, gloved fingers.He pinched it lightly and crushed the wax seal.As a pinch of red wax shavings slowly fell, the scroll unfolded.After contemplating it for a while, the soldier returned the scroll to the mage, stepped aside silently, and let Yasuo go.

"Let's go, let's go in and talk." Ignoring Yasuo's suspicious gaze, the mage walked into the shadow of the city gate first.

Yasuo hesitated, but thinking that he would have to enter the city to find the broken sword in the end, he took Annie's hand and went in together.

As if knowing what Yasuo liked best, the mage led them across a canal to a tavern near the center of the city.

Along the way, they walked on the side roads, deliberately avoiding the wide avenue, because the marching troops were all on the avenue, and both sides of the road were neatly lined with barracks tents.

A total of two city walls have been passed through, and there is another city wall near the central tower.The three walls divided the Immortal Fortress into four areas: the middle, the inner, the outer, and the outer. The closer to the middle, the tighter the defense, and the more prominent the residents' identities.

Yasuo was a little dissatisfied that the mage took him to such a deep place, but since the other party ordered a bottle of Noxus red wine that he had always wanted to try, the above things could be ignored.

"Can I have a cup of hot milk for Anne?" he asked.

"Of course." The mage readily agreed.

After taking his seat, the mage took off his hood, revealing a head of gray hair. He was about 50 years old and seemed to have a lot of experience.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Finn Ritrik. I belong to the Planeswalker of Ravenblue Academy, and I specialize in collecting students with magical talents for the academy."

"You're here for Annie." Yasuo looked down, and this person appeared immediately when they arrived in the capital, and he probably started following them on the way.

Finn nodded: "Annie is a very talented student. Our principal has been paying attention to her and wants to recruit her into the academy."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Anne who only had her head sticking out of the table. "Annie, I saw that you and your mother have the same eyes, and even your laughter is exactly the same. Back then, Amoline followed me to Ravenbrough. I believe you will follow your mother's path."

"Can I find my mother if I walk with you?" Annie innocently widened her eyes.

"I will take you to the headmaster, trusting that she will accommodate your request. She loves her talents, and your talents are the most powerful we have ever seen."

"I'll go with you!" Annie, who was holding the little bear, agreed without thinking.

"You brought Anne's mother to the academy?" Yasuo asked.

Finn replied: "My whereabouts are all over the world. There are Demacians and Ionians in the academy. Most of them had miserable childhoods. I saw that they were homeless, so I took them to the academy. The Academy will provide food and accommodation for these children, as well as teaching magic, and the Academy will feel like home to them.”

To put it nicely, Yasuo sneered and didn't take it seriously, and didn't trust Finn because he could tell a lot about Annie.

If Ravenblue College is really that good, why did Amoline escape in the first place?
But these have nothing to do with him. When the mage takes Anne away, he can go about his own business.

In fact, Yasuo has wronged the academy a bit. Apart from killing a group of children in search of hosts for Tabek before Amoline arrived, this academy has been teaching students magic for the next ten years. Didn't do anything outrageous.

The clerk in the store brought over the wine, and Yasuo noticed that one of the clerk's arms was in the shape of a crab claw, and the crab claw was uncontrollably pinching himself, which made him distracted to suppress the crab. The tongs caused the wine to be wobbly. Fortunately, the red wine was not opened.

"Uncle, I want to eat grilled crab!" Annie clapped her hands excitedly, and Tong Yanwuji made the waiter run away with a black face.

"Drink milk, we don't sell grilled crabs here, we'll eat them in the academy." Yasuo answered perfunctorily, wondering where Finn brought them?Why is there such a weirdo.

"This guy used to be a pickpocket. Because he didn't have long eyes, he stole from a mage. He was cursed and one hand turned into a crab claw. He always wanted to pinch himself to death. Pickpockets couldn't do their jobs, so they came to the tavern to work as a waiter Pay off the debt, but because of the interference of the crab claws, he often knocks over the dinner plate and wine bottle, and the more he owes, the more he owes, and he will probably rot here in his life."

As Finn said, he unscrewed the cork and poured a glass of red wine for Yasuo.

Smelling the rich fragrance, even if it is poisonous, Yasuo, who is addicted to alcohol, wants to taste it.
