"Then you come back this time..."

Feeling the warmth coming from her shoulders, Akali's cheeks gained a hint of blush. She raised her head and met Julian's eyes, with a little expectancy in her eyes:

"Of course it's for the promise I made with you."

When he said these words, Julian's expression was extremely solemn and serious.

This is a promise made to Akali as early as Ionia.

Although for some reasons he was forced to travel between Ionia and Shurima for three years, fortunately he returned to the Immortal Fortress before the execution day. As soon as he returned to the Immortal Fortress, he met the girl again.

.

All of this made Julian sigh with emotion at God's will.

From the moment he walked out of Queletta Castle, his heart was extremely determined. This time, he would not waver, even if he was burdened with a thousand pounds of sin.

'Rescue Meimu and fulfill the promise.'

Hearing these words, a warm current surged up in the girl's heart unconsciously, and her eyes when looking at the man were full of tenderness.

At the moment Julian left, Akali was worried in her heart whether he would leave without any news for three years like last time, leaving her in the Immortal Fortress to face the wind spear and snow halberd alone.

If that was the case, she didn't know whether she should hate him or shed tears for herself.

But now, despite the risk of being discovered, Julian tried his best to stand in front of her,

"Thank you!" There were thousands of words in her heart, but when she said it, it turned into two short words. Julian's promise shattered all the doubts and uneasiness in her heart, and also made her lonely heart find hope in an instant.

Reliance——Akali believes in Julian and believes that this man will not let her down.

"I haven't asked you yet! Why did I bring back two children after I went out for just a few days?" Taking a deep breath, Akali's eyes finally left Julian and fell on Riel and Gabrielle.

When she saw Gabriel, her eyes suddenly lit up: "If I'm not mistaken, he...should be from the same place as me?"

The girl couldn't believe it when she said this conclusion.

But the boy's unique temperament that belonged to the Thousand Islands Country made her unable not to believe it.

"Well, his name is Gabriel, and he comes from Ionia like you. It's just that he was kidnapped here and studied in a secret magic academy for six years. I rescued him when I passed by.

"

"Poor child." The guess in her heart was confirmed. When she looked at Gabriel again, Akali's eyes softened significantly. She stepped forward and took the boy's hand and looked at it carefully. Akali relaxed.

He said softly: "Julian and I will protect you, and we will also find a way to send you back to your hometown!"

Akali is still very concerned about her compatriots. After all, her relatives are high-ranking members of the Kinkou sect who secretly guard Ionia, and her mother is the "Shadow Fist" of the Kinkou Sannin.

Although in order to rescue her mother, Akali abandoned that identity and came to the Immortal Fortress alone,

But the previous teachings made her unable to ignore those afterbirths of the same identity.

In the previous year, when she was looking for a way to rescue her mother, she rescued and helped many compatriots return to their hometowns. As for the thin boy in front of her, Akali naturally regarded him as a person to be protected.

"Then...where is this one?" After talking about Gabri, Akali turned her eyes to Rui Er who was aside, and her eyes fell on the other person's golden-red eyes.

Akali was deeply impressed by these eyes and her owner, not only the gorgeous golden-red light, but also the opponent's strength.

Although Akali is not yet able to perceive as well as Julian, who can see hundreds of meters in her heart, after getting half of the world rune, she can already vaguely sense what is hidden under the opponent's petite body.

A volcano-like force.

This surprised her extremely. She had to know that the other person was younger than herself. Akali was now sixteen years old, a girl next door growing up, while Ruil's face under her blond hair was obviously stained with pot ash, but she was obviously childish.

Still exist.

It just so happens that such a sister who is obviously younger than her can make Akali feel dangerous, especially when the other party looks over with widened eyes.

The turbulent wave made Akali feel sad. Is it true that the power of the body alone cannot match magic?

The girl was in a state of confusion, but on the outside she looked gentle, and even managed a smile to show her kindness.

But this time, before Julian could make an introduction, Riel stood up on his own,

"I'm Riel, are you the one who asked Julian to take risks and rush back?" Facing Akali's gaze, Riel's expression was quite complicated.

She is a smart girl,

Before this, although Julian had never mentioned anything about Akali, she was still aware of his presence from his attitude and performance.

Being able to have such a "big master" with bottomless strength as a friend, and still being able to make the other person come back despite the risk even in times of crisis,

Such a thing,

Although Rui'er didn't say anything, he was really envious in his heart.

You know, after being imprinted many times with seal magic, her power is almost unrivaled in Noxus.

Whether it is the metal wings that spread out, or the power of lava that can easily collapse mountains and crack the ground, she can easily become an invincible general in the martial Noxus.

But if it is for revenge, all this is far from enough.

So Riel needs Julian, more than anyone else, his power to help find the woman wearing the black rose.

At the same time, she also needs the other party's experience so that she can still maintain rapid progress after the destruction of the magic academy.

But her efforts had just begun. The strategy plan against Julian that she had just conceived in her mind had not yet been implemented, but an opponent appeared in front of her who was already standing in front of the finish line.

This made Rui Er not feel unhappy. Naturally, the look he looked at Akali unconsciously brought a bit of scrutiny.

"Well..." Being stared at so hard by a girl younger than herself, Akali was a little confused at first, but soon she thought of something quickly, glanced at Julian unconsciously, and then looked back.

When she came to Ruier, her eyes became hardened unconsciously:

"That's me. Little sister, aren't you an Ionian?"

"This is the land of Noxus. Is it any surprise that I am a Noxian?" Realizing the change in Akali's attitude, Riel's eyes flickered, but his face remained calm: "Gabri is my favorite.

Good friend, Julian is my and Gabri’s benefactor, so you don’t need to worry about my prejudice against you.”

"..." Rui Er's words surprised Akali slightly, but what she said next surprised her————

"You, an Ionian, are not resisting invasion on your own land, but you show up in the imperial capital of Noxus. Then you...are you here for something? Are you a relative or friend of yours?"

"!" Seeing the astonishment on Akali's face, Riel knew that she had guessed correctly. And just when Akali thought that Riel would continue to guess with such force, unexpectedly, the girl suddenly made a surprise move.

Turning around, he said:

"Then, in that case I will help you."

Akali was at a loss,

Although she was three years older than Rui'er, she couldn't understand what the other person was thinking. She looked down at the hand stretched out in the air, then looked up at the smile on the other person's face, and Akali subconsciously held it.
