"..." The patrol team leader swallowed subconsciously. The previous arrogance disappeared instantly, replaced by the fear that his head was about to be pinned to his waistband.

The sharp fragments of the halberd in his pocket were like the sharp blade hanging above his head, reminding him of the shallowness and perishability of life.

When Chen Ce waved his hand, he immediately rolled and crawled back to the shore, not even using his weapons.

The other Noxian soldiers didn't dare to say another word, and they all left quickly.

After a while, the port that should have been dark at night suddenly lit up, and the noisy footsteps and metal collisions also dispersed the silence of the night.

Chen Ce still stood quietly on the boat, looking towards the end of the port.

Soon, he saw a tall Vastayan - a veteran of quite an age.

as well as……

A menacing horde of Noxian soldiers.

"Who dares to trespass into my port?"

The leader of the vastaya has a loud, deep voice, and his tall figure and massive muscles seem to tell of the power he possesses.

Under the light of the fire, Chen Ce finally saw the whole picture of this "Ionia traitor" clearly for the first time.

His hair, as dazzling as the sunset, was braided into dreadlocks hanging down his back, but now his hair was mixed with strands of gray.His proud face was like that of a big cat predator, and his face was covered with scars from a lifetime of military service.

The left side of his face was hairless, with flaring red veins that were evidence of the severe burns he suffered as a young warrior.A pair of curved horns sprouted from his temples, each of which was engraved with a spiral rune pattern.

His three tails swept behind him, each covered in segments of plate armor.He wore the black iron armor of Noxus, an outfit from his adopted homeland that always made him look sad.

Of course, he is not looking sad now, but angry.

"We were sent by the pale lady." Chen Ce was finally willing to "report his family status."

But it was obvious that no one on the shore would believe his words - if he really belonged to the Pale Lady, why did he only travel on such a dilapidated, small and rotten ship?Why come from the Ionia continent?And why are you acting suspiciously even if you can’t produce a token?

More importantly, why didn't anyone receive such important news in advance?

"Pale Lady... I think you drank too much." Karan snorted disdainfully, "Or maybe you heard some legend about the Pale Lady somewhere, and then you wanted to use it to deceive? "

"If a person wants to cheat or do some sneaky and dirty things, I think that person will not be stupid enough to enter from the front of the port openly." Chen Ce shrugged and looked at the man hiding in the crowd. A patrol captain.

"He will not let go of those who see him and suspect him."

"You are full of sophistry, why not come up with some substantive evidence." Karan's attitude is still tough.

Until Chen Ce actually took out an envelope from his arms.

"If you want the Pale Lady's proof, then I have it - this is a letter written by the Pale Lady, with the Grand Commander's exclusive seal printed on it."

"I hope this was not forged by someone with ulterior motives." Karan walked slowly to the side of the boat and stretched out a hand condescendingly.

Chen Ce didn't care about the other party's arrogance and rudeness, and directly handed the letter into the other party's hands.

The latter immediately opened the envelope and took a look.

And it was this glance that made his pupils shrink slightly - of course, this was not obvious and was only noticed by Chen Ce, who was only half a meter away.

His ability to control his emotions and facial expressions has always been excellent.

He respectfully refolded the letter and put it back into the envelope.

Then, in front of everyone, he performed a standard Noxian military salute - a lower-to-upper military salute to Chen Ce.

"Please forgive my ignorance and arrogance, sir."

The noisy dock suddenly became silent.

"Now, please follow me and talk in detail..."

Back in the closed room, Karan took out the letter from his pocket again and placed it casually on the table.

Yes, the so-called "pale lady's handwritten letter."

There is only a short line of small words written on it:

[The prophecy has changed, and the jailer looks back; the prophet speaks rightly, but his vision is clear. 】

"Please take a seat." Karan politely motioned for several people to sit down, and the sternness and indifference between his eyebrows turned into joy and expectation.

Then, he looked at the three people in front of him curiously - a pure human, a vastaya like him, and one...well...neither human nor vastaya... girl……?

"Excuse me, what does it mean that the prophecy has changed? Can I leave here? No... maybe I should confirm it again... I think you can understand me, right? I know this is presumptuous, but I really have to be cautious You can understand some of this, right?"

Karan was already a little incoherent - maybe out of nervousness, but more probably out of excitement.

He misses his old life every day in Ferol. The forest and hunting call to him every day...but he can't leave.But he wanted to leave so badly.

"Well, I can understand." Chen Ce responded with a smile, "If you want to confirm our identity...how about using the prophecy to verify the prophecy?"

"What does it mean?"

"I can tell you the prophecies that the prophet once gave you to prove that I am really the person sent by the prophet."

"Ah... this is really a good idea, please tell me." Karan rubbed his hands expectantly, like a big boy eager to go out and play.

Chen Ce nodded, and then searched in his mind for the prophecy that the prophet gave to Karan a few years ago - of course, this was definitely not what the prophet told him, but what he already knew.

What I knew when I was at Blue Star.

He cleared his throat and said slowly, imitating the prophet's old and steady tone:

"There are two roads before you, and you can only choose one. But I warn you - both roads end in misery and sorrow."

"The first path. You fight against the invaders. In the Presidium of Navoli, there will be a great battle. Although the cost will be heavy, you will prevail. You will be hailed as a hero. You and your soul will be at peace. Live for many years. You are happy. However, you are destined to live to send away a pair of cubs at your knees, both of whom died violently."

"Second, you fight side by side with the enemy. You will never see your soul again, nor your cubs. They call you a traitor and curse your name. This road is full of darkness and bitterness. and infamy. You will be hated by your own kind and despised by the invaders' allies. After their defeat at Placidium, you must guard Filor and guard the Land of Dreams. And you will remain there."

"But your pups will survive."

"They will be strong. If not in this land, then in another. But you will never see their faces again, and if you stray from this dark path, they will perish."

"I'm sorry, my child, that you have to face this terrible choice."

At this point, the prophecy ends.

And Karan also lowered his proud head.

His voice became choked, but he did not cry or show any sadness.

"No," he repeated the answer he had given the prophet years ago, "the choice is simple."

There was a moment of silence in the room, as if the air was frozen.

Finally, Karan raised his head again, his eyes full of expectation: "You said the prophecy has changed...can I leave here?"

He even used honorifics unconsciously.He really wanted to return to the land he loved so much.

There were cheers, laughter, friends, family, and the two little boys he missed the most... Everything he loved deeply was there.

He was looking forward to Chen Ce giving him a positive answer.

And Chen Ce did not let this huge expectation fall to the bottom and turn into disappointment:

"Yes, Mr. Callan."

"You will eventually be cleared of the charge of 'traitor'. From now on, no one will stab you in the back. You can stand proudly in the dense forests of Ionia. You will be bathed in the sun. You will To be hailed as a hero in the dark... you deserve it."

"You have endured enough, Mr. Callan. The Ionian Spirit will never forget everyone who has contributed to this land."

Chen Ce's tone became softer and he already put a hand on the shoulder of the choked strong man.

"Now, the prophecy is given to you, take us to the 'prison'."

Chapter 88 Black Silk Leader Syndra

The scenery of Ferrol Island is pleasant at night, with ripples on the dark sea.Noxian patrols moved back and forth around the harbor, keeping an eye on every suspicious ship and every suspicious person.

Karan stood on the deck of the Scarlet Huntress, looking towards the other side of the strait again.

There was no moon tonight, but everything seemed to him like daylight, his feline pupils dilated to their fullest.Sometimes, these eyes will be illuminated by torches and reflect bright divine light - these are the eyes of a night predator.

He has seen this scene countless times, but every time he has a different experience - sometimes it is sadness, sometimes it is melancholy, and sometimes it is sadness.

Without exception, they are all negative experiences.

But today is different.

Today's experience was positive - he felt joy and anticipation.He couldn't wait to return to that beautiful land.He deeply loves the land where he was born and raised, and he loves the people on that land even more.

And the three men behind him will help him get back there.

The three companions who were entrusted by the prophet and came from the distant Shilana Monastery.

Ah...companion, this beautiful word...how long has it been since?

On the Isle of Ferol, there are more than 1000 Noxian warriors under his command, composed of veterans of Chapters from far-flung corners of the Empire.They all obeyed him, but no one could be called a "companion."

These two words have been far away from him for a long time——

A patrol passed along the crenel.They saluted Kahlan, pounding their fists on their breastplates, and Kahlan nodded in return.He did not miss the darkness in the sentinels' eyes.They hated him as much as the Ionians, but they feared and respected him, and that was enough.

"It's all going to end... tonight, right?"

Karan's slightly trembling voice could only be heard by the three people behind him.

"Yes, tonight." Chen Ce nodded, "After tonight, everything will get better."

"What else do I need to do besides take you to 'prison'?"

"Nothing else, that's enough."

"What are you going to do to 'that one'?"

"This is a secret that cannot be told, Mr. Karan." Chen Ce bent down slightly and performed a traditional Ionian etiquette to the other party under the protection of the night. "I hope you understand."

"Well..." Hearing this, Karan felt a little uneasy, but he didn't say much.

He really wanted to return to the land of his birth... To do this, he could pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore everything.

Just like when he accepted the prophet's prophecy and betrayed his country to join Noxus.

All he had to do was follow the prophecy.

It doesn't matter whether he understands the process or not, what matters is the result.

If you don’t understand, let it not understand.

"Let's go, Mr. Chen Ce..."

【Dalye Ashila】

That is the Fantasy Pool.

This name lingers in Karan's mind every day, but in fact he hasn't been there for many years.

20 years ago?Or 30 years ago?About 33 years ago...maybe.Anyway, it was a long, long time ago that he walked out of the ruined temple for the last time, and then he never went in again.

There was once a great temple... Ionia's gifted young people would come from all directions to seek peace and enlightenment like the teachers in the temple.

But now, everything has changed.

Everything is ruined...

The embodiment of hatred and power, she regarded her mentor's well-intentioned advice as a malicious lie... Her hatred exploded uncontrollably, reducing the entire temple to ruins in almost the blink of an eye. .

In the end, if the spirit of Ionia hadn't taken action to imprison her, not only the temple, but also the entire island of Ferrol would have been torn apart...

She is horrible.

She posed an even greater threat to Ionia than the Noxian invaders.

"Follow me closely, and try not to speak when you meet Noxian soldiers, let alone communicate in Ionian dialect..."

Karan walked in the front, followed by three "companions sent by the prophet" on either side and behind him.

He knew the terror of that one better than anyone else, so he stayed on the island of Ferol for many years.And today, he was about to end it all - this life of a "traitor" who was not understood and had his spine stabbed could finally end.

Finally... I can finally stand under the sun and live an upright life again...

"Yes." Mr. Chen Ce responded quietly from behind.

Karan moved forward with anticipation, they were now well connected.On the other side of the courtyard in front, a mountain cliff stretched into the night sky, and Karan's eyes were aimed at the top.A sudden building blocks the starry sky, and that is their target.
