People in the League, Masters of Time Management

"This time it was my decision that went wrong, I'm very sorry..."

At the high-level meeting of the rebels in Navoli Province, Irelia bowed sincerely.

In her opinion, if it wasn't for her own decision-making mistakes that transferred Karma to the eastern strait, the Pale Lady would not have been able to sneak in so easily, and those losses could have been avoided.

"It's not your fault, no one would have thought that that damned woman would sneak in during the chaos..." Everyone hurriedly said.

"But if I don't go there, there will be heavy casualties in the eastern strait." Karma added, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Hearing this, Irelia felt a little better, and looked at everyone with gratitude.

"Stop mentioning the past, the most urgent thing is to think about how to strengthen defense." A middle-aged swordsman wearing a bamboo hat across the round table said.

He is the supreme leader of the gray-robed swordsman organization and a highly respected old swordsman in Navoli Province.A centrist between radicals and conservatives.

"It should be so." The highest leader of the Brotherhood echoed, while secretly looking at the two men who appeared in the meeting for the first time.

Mubai and Seti.

Needless to say the former, the super foreign aid that Irelia invited from Ferol Island, no one is more qualified to sit here than him.

But the latter...a boxer who has been in the underground fighting arena, the only bright spot is that he has made some contributions in the previous turmoil.

He was able to come in due to Mu Bai's strong request, which somewhat caused dissatisfaction among others.

But he himself didn't seem to have this awareness, and he was picking his fingers with Erlang's legs crossed at this time.Tsk, that's extremely vulgar.

"Mubai, do you have any good suggestions?"

Irelia didn't notice other people's thoughts, and only subconsciously asked Mu Bai for his opinion.

"To be honest, I don't know much about the formation of troops. But I can give you some suggestions." Mu Bai adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and then continued:

"First of all, don't relax your vigilance because Noxus has suffered losses in Navoli Province twice in a row. Believe me, they are planning a bigger conspiracy. Continue to take good defensive measures around Navoli Province."

"Secondly, take back Felor Island as soon as possible—even at any cost. Don't underestimate that island, it will become a key point in the war between the two countries."

"Finally..." Mu Bai looked at Seti, "Use Seti again. He will definitely bring surprises to the rebels."

The first two paragraphs made everyone think deeply, but when it came to the last sentence, several people almost stood up and patted the table.

"Is this the 'wider world' you speak of?"

What was even more irritating was that Sett put on a dissatisfied look even though the leaders of the rebel army still agreed.

"No, this is just a transition." Mu Bai smiled, "You are still too immature now, and you need to go through some training."

"Childish? Me? Are you kidding me?"

"Please don't question me, unless you want to go back to the dark fighting arena and fight black boxing for a lifetime."

Mu Bai shrugged his shoulders and didn't give any explanation.

Although the current Jinfu has preliminarily mastered all the "skills", he is still weaker than he was when he dominated the underground kingdom of Ionia.

If he was brought back to resist the void like this, something might happen with his current violent character.

"Okay, okay, I'll trust you once." Sett put his hands on the back of his head, and leaned back, looking very arrogant.

Several high-level rebels couldn't help clenching their fists, wishing they could jump up and beat him up right now.

But due to Mu Bai's majesty, they still didn't say anything.Anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future, so there is no need to refute Mu Bai's face here.

"Yeah, I see." Irelia was also a little displeased, but she still chose to trust Mu Bai.

"That's all I have to say and can say."

Mu Bai stood up suddenly, and bowed to everyone very gentlemanly.

"I still have something urgent to deal with, so I have to leave first, sorry."

....................................

In the room, Syndra was lying quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a pair of beautiful purple pupils.

She was in a daze, but not completely in a daze.

Dazedness also needs reference objects, such as foraging ants, sugar shell insects on the wall, and flying dragonflies.But there was nothing on the ceiling, just a blank expanse of whiteness.

So she needs to use imagination to assist her in a daze.

Thinking about it, she blushed.

At the same time, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and the familiar footsteps made her happy.

The object of imagination is back...

"Did I wake you up, I'm sorry." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Mu Bai carefully checked the wound on the other's forehead.

The trauma has almost healed.

"No, I was awake... just woke up."

Syndra covered most of her flushed face with a quilt, only showing a pair of beautiful eyes staring at each other.

In fact, she had been awake for nearly two hours, but in order not to make Mu Bai feel guilty, she lied that she had just woken up.

Although she really wanted Mu Bai to be by her side forever, but it was still important.If you are too clingy, you will probably be hated, right?

"That's good."

Mu Bai touched the girl's head again, and then carefully sensed the operation of the magic power in her body.

LeBlanc didn't cause too much damage to her, but she consumed a lot of magic power—the [-]% of the magic power that was finally recovered was exhausted again.

"Drink some magic potion, your magic power is seriously overloaded."

"Yeah." Syndra nodded obediently.

Mu Bai finally pinched the girl's soft cheeks, and then took out the blue medicine from the cloth bag.

This time he didn't add water, but directly handed over the whole bottle of potion.

Syndra took the blue medicine, poured it down her throat without hesitation, and drank five to six hundred milliliters of viscous liquid in a few seconds.

"Um... so bitter..."

"Because the potion is thicker this time..." Mu Bai scratched his head apologetically, "I forgot to prepare candy, sorry..."

"Don't apologize for this kind of thing."

Syndra got out of the bed, the love and smile in her eyes were almost solidified.

"Besides, isn't sugar right here?"

"Ok?"

Before Mu Bai could figure out the meaning of "sugar", the girl had already pressed those sweet and soft lips to her.

Half a minute later, Syndra let go of her embrace, with a hint of playfulness on her reddish cheeks.

She pursed her lips unsatisfactorily, and said with a smile:

"You are my sugar."

Chapter 31 The Maiden, the Great Sword and the Atonement

In the early years, there was no such thing as a dungeon in Ionia. People thought it was too cruel and inhuman. Sinners who violated the law should be corrected and redeemed, not simply punished. This is in line with the way of balance.

It wasn't until the Noxian invasion of the First Lands that people realized that Equalization had its limits.

Proverbs have no effect on the vicious intruders, only the sword and force can protect this sacred land.

Thus, the first dungeon in Ionia was built in the province of Navoli.

This dark cage is specially used to detain war criminals. The conditions are not extremely bad, but it is definitely a double torture for both mental and physical.

Prisoners locked here will never die of hunger, but they will never be full; they will not die of cold, but they will not feel any warmth; they will not die of exhaustion, but they will not have any chance to breathe.

Only when the method of balance is used in punishment, those damned aggressors will understand how despicable their crimes are.

The watery dungeon of Presidium resounds forever with howls and ravings, from morning to night, from spring to winter.

All the prisoners held here will gradually lose their minds in the endless darkness and coldness, until they are on the verge of collapse before they have a chance to be pulled out to reform through labor.

No one could endure this kind of torture, except for the girl who had remained silent since she came in——Riven.

Being strong-willed is one aspect, but the main reason is that she is already desperate.

The sin and betrayal of the motherland completely collapsed her faith, the glory of the swordsman was no longer, and she exiled herself.

"Hey, Mr. Mubai wants to see you, cheer up, don't act like a dead person... You will have a lot of opportunities to die in the future."

A disdainful and angry voice sounded.Riven lifted her head slightly, looking through the tangled ends of her hair at the cell door.

Because the light was too dim, she couldn't see the faces of the two outside the water prison clearly, but she recognized one of them.

The man who advised himself not to run from mistakes.

"Your name is Mubai...?" Riven asked weakly.

"Hey, hey, no one asked you to ask questions!" The jailer knocked hard on the iron door, and the loud sound made the eardrums hurt. "Find out who you are, and show respect!"

"It's okay, go get busy, I'll do it myself." Mu Bai waved his hand in time to stop the jailer's scolding.

The latter nodded quickly, then gave Riven a vicious look, and then left with the long sword in hand.

"Your name is Mubai?" Riven asked again.

"Yes." Mu Bai replied.

"Where's your lover, that beautiful girl named Xingdora?"

"In honor of the dead—a tailor who was murdered by the Pale Lady."

"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"I want to redeem you."

The atmosphere became a little weird.It was obvious that Riven was the prisoner, but she kept asking questions like a high-ranking victor, and the other party really knew everything and didn't feel annoyed at all.

"Atonement..."

Riven gave a wry smile, and subconsciously wanted to move her body, but the icy water up to her waist and the iron chains entangled her limbs made her unable to move.

"Should I be reformed through labor or my life?" She showed a miserable smile, "If my body is still useful, you can take it."

"Is your body..."

Mu Bai nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the opponent's body without hesitation.

She had the same bushy silver hair as Syndra, but shorter, just below her shoulders.Her figure is more graceful than ordinary girls, but also harder. Those well-defined and well-fitting muscles make her look strangely beautiful.

Her shoulder pads and metal hairpins were all confiscated, and her silver hair with straw sticks and drops of water fell messily on her face, covering a beautiful red pupil that had lost its light.

Listless and lifeless.

"Why, you dislike my body for being too dirty and unbearable?" Riven felt the scrutiny in his eyes, and smiled, "You are right. This broken body has no value, and the only meaning of existence is to be hanged tower."

"You are trying to avoid your mistakes again." Mu Bai looked at her calmly.

"Escape? Isn't it enough for me to pay you my life?"

"Enough. But it doesn't maintain the balance of the world."

"balanced?"

"Yes, balance." Mu Bai brought out a desirable part of the theory of balance, "Although it is easy to impose the death penalty, the death penalty cannot repair the damage caused by crimes to the people."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Riven's mood fluctuated slightly—maybe it was anger, maybe it was pain.She twisted her body irritably, pulling the four iron chains to clang.

"What else can I do? Killing me won't satisfy you, neither can labor. Tell me, what else can I do?"

Mu Bai didn't make any response, just quietly waiting for the other party to vent his resentment.After a few minutes, he said in a soft tone:

"I want you to come back to life. Compensation only makes sense if you recognize and accept your mistakes."

"It's up to you...you can say whatever you want..." The exhausted Riven completely relaxed her muscles, letting the cold icy water stimulate her nerves.

Seeing her like this, Mu Bai knew that it would be pointless to continue talking.

As soon as he lifted his right hand, the huge black stone rune blade passed through the gap in the iron gate and fell into the water prison.

"I'll be back tomorrow."
