Ari patted Lilia on the back, "What's wrong with you? Did you see the nightmare of humans again?"

During the few days when Ari and Lilia lived together, Lilia would always wake up at night, the branch in her hand was cut off from the fantasy tree, and human dreams would also float into this branch.

And because Lilia is a dream-born deer born from dream energy, she can clearly see the dreams of humans.

"Um…"

Lilia's voice was full of disappointment, "It was a dream of a child... whose parents died in the war... He hid in a wooden barrel, and soldiers in iron armor were still searching around his home, and the iron sword in his hand was stained. Blood, dripping non-stop..."

"Lilia, this is just a dream, isn't it?"

Ahri gently hugged Lilia's soft body, trying to dispel her inner anxiety with his own body temperature.

"Do not…"

Lilia shook her head, "This is the reality seen from a dream, her dream... is more desperate than reality..."

squeak-

squeak...

The rattan bed's voice became louder.

Lilia was trembling, and...she seemed unable to restrain herself, and wanted to get up from the bed.

"Ah raccoon..."

Lilia turned her head and looked into Ahri's eyes. The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath, "Can you take me to find her? That girl...may still be alive."

"But you don't know where she is, do you?"

"Mother Tree will guide me."

The buds on the branches were emitting a faint light, and Lilia could see some light purple dream energy floating from a distance. These energies were like magic in the woods, and she could see them.

Ari stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lilia's face.

This is a very innocent girl.

"I promise you, Lilia."

Ahri stared into Lilia's clear blue eyes.

Lilia leaned forward suddenly, and lightly kissed Ari on the cheek, "Thank you, Ari!"

……

Late at night in the Balanced Temple, there are still some people sitting on the jagged boulders to meditate and practice.

in the yard.

The hunchbacked old man sweeping the floor was sleeping on a branch, looking like he could easily fall off, but he kept a delicate balance.

"This way..."

Lilia followed the direction in which the dream energy floated, and led Ari forward.

She seemed a little anxious, and she was a little out of breath after walking too far.

"Ari, hold on, hurry up, hurry up, we will get there soon."

"Hmm~"

Ali picked up the speed.

Beads of sweat ooze from Lilia's forehead, and her complexion looks even more beautiful.

"Hey!"

A young girl's voice sounded.

Ahri and Lilia looked up, and Akali was standing on the highest eaves of the temple, looking down at them.

"Ari, where are you going?"

Akali's face was covered with a green triangular cloth, he was holding a cross sickle in his hand, and a ninja bag was pinned to his waist. He looked like a young assassin sneaking in the dark night, "Take me to play together."

"Be careful when your mother beats you."

"Not afraid."

Akali jumped down from the eaves, her body was as light as a swallow, and landed on Lilia's back lightly, "Let's go."

As a small deer, Lilia has absolutely no resistance to being ridden.

What's more, Akali is very light.

On the rugged path in the mountains, Lilia ran wildly with Akali, and Ari followed closely behind.

After going down the mountain.

The speed of running in the plain was even faster, and it didn't take too long for Lilia to find a destroyed human settlement.

"right here…"

Lilia said cautiously, "Akali, come down, if you encounter danger, run away."

"Danger?"

Akali was a little curious.

"Ah."

Lilia put Akali down, "Look at... the corpses floating in the river... and the blood on the ground."

The settlements of ancient civilizations are often built on rivers, and this is the case in Ionia.

At this time, a woman's body was floating in the river. It may be that her hair was entangled in the tree roots by the river, so it was not washed away.A lot of blood can also be found on the soil on the ground, and many houses have left marks from swords.

"Hahaha, the people of Ionia are really simple."

"Stupid...perhaps more appropriate?"

There was a conversation between two men in a room. Ari looked over cautiously, and saw two soldiers in iron armor.

In their hands were swords forged of Noxian steel.

"One, two, three..."

Akali read in a low voice.

"what?"

"There are three soldiers in total, two in the room and one at the door."

Akali's expression became extremely focused.

Although Ari is not sure how Akali made the judgment, Ahri knows that Akali is an excellent assassin. Since Akali can say it in a positive tone, she must be sure that her judgment is accurate.

"Bang—"

When Ahri was thinking about how to lure the three soldiers away, Lilia jumped out and knocked the soldier at the door with the branch in her hand. The soldier fell asleep immediately, probably because of the magic Lilia used.

"Who?!"

"There is a situation!"

The soldiers in the house picked up their weapons vigilantly and rushed out.

[Trigger mission: use charm magic on a Noxus soldier!Mission reward: Essence +50! 】

A cold reminder sounded in Ari's mind.

At this time, the soldiers had already spotted the three of them, and the blood-stained blade in their hands was glowing with a cold red light.

One of the soldiers swung the steel sword in his hand and slashed at Lilia, his eyes filled with cold killing intent, without the slightest hesitation, as if he wanted to cut Lilia in half with a single sword.

"Magic · Charm Hex!"

Ahri instantly used her only magic skill, and the soldier's pupils turned amber.

"Success..."

Ali breathed a sigh of relief.

[The task has been completed, reward: 50 essence! 】

The charmed soldier stood there, motionless, looking like a wooden man.

The only remaining soldier did not back down.

Instead, he showed a sinister smile. In his heart, fighting was far more interesting than massacres. Just now they massacred all the villagers in this settlement, but it was as boring as cutting some plants that could not resist.

"These people...you killed them?"

Akali stared at the soldier, holding the cross scythe in his hand, "Better give me a reason!"

Chapter 13 The Bloody Village

In the bloody human settlement, Akali glared at the tall Noxus soldiers.

"You better give me a reason!"

Akali said again.

Ahri saw that Akali's hands holding the cross scythe trembled slightly, and she was trying to restrain herself.

"Weak people are not qualified to live." A bit of blood slowly slipped from the steel blade in the soldier's hand.

tick-

Blood dripped on the ground.

"Thank you for your advice."

Akali disappeared in place in an instant, and the Noxus soldier felt a chill coming from his back. When he realized it, Akali had already retracted the cross sickle to his waist, "As you said, weak people, there is no qualified to live."

A bloodstain gradually oozes from the soldier's neck, and the tall soldier gradually fell to the ground until he died without knowing what happened.

"Akali..."

Lilia looked at the scene in front of her with horror in her eyes, "You...how did you kill him?"

"Didn't he kill these people too?"

"But…"

Lilia didn't know how to refute, but she could feel that what Akali said was wrong.

Akali turned to the other two unconscious soldiers, grabbed their hair with her hand, and pointed the dagger at their throats.

"No!"

Lilia quickly stopped Akali, "Stop killing people, even if they have killed people, there must be a better solution."

"A better way?"

There was a chill in the eyes of the young Akali, "Let them live and continue to kill the people of Ionia?"

"Akali, give these two people to Lilia."

Ari snatched the dagger from Akali, "At least, this time... Please trust Lilia!"

……

In the quiet village, there are corpses everywhere, and the girl hiding in the barrel shivered and curled up.

Akali finally dropped the dagger.

Lilia squatted down next to the two unconscious Noxus soldiers, and she gently swept their bodies with the branch.

"Magic Night Ballad!"

The buds on the branches flowed purple dream energy, and this energy entered the soldiers' bodies, and they slowly woke up.

It's just that when they woke up, the hatred and anger in their hearts had disappeared, replaced by expectations.

They took off their armor and threw away their weapons. The two soldiers left the blood-stained village, looking forward to returning to their hometown.

"Is that...so you're not guilty?"

Akali looked at the backs of the soldiers who were going away, and the blood in her heart was surging, she couldn't accept this approach.

"If it was the mother, what would she do? If it was the master of bitterness, what would he do?"
