Chapter 380 Brotherhood
"I can't make it clear, but it's definitely wrong to bury all the sharp weapons in the soil." Akali said: "One of you raised your butcher's knife and rushed to the front of your house. Only then did you remember to dig out a rusty knife in the soil. If the knife was still entangled by the tree roots, wouldn't you even be able to resist? So I said it's time to change it."
On the Blossom Spirit Day, the matter of burying the sharp weapon advocated letting go of disputes. Perhaps there was nothing to say a few years ago. At that time, war was far away from this pure land, and people's biggest disputes could only be resolved by negotiation.
But now, war has never left, and people should always be prepared to resist.
"I think it would be better to fold the paper into the shape of a sword instead of a real knife. The cost is very low, and you don't need to dig it out. It will naturally return to the soil over time and will not cause imbalance." Kahn commented, and even burying the knife used for cooking was very puzzled.
Isn't this dirty? What to do if it is rusted?
“Good idea.”
...
After the morning tea, the three of them came to the market. Today's market is much more lively than usual, and the streets on the roadside are placed at the foot of the mountain.
Akali reminded herself that they were not here to hang out, that they were here to buy masks for holidays. The three of them looked for their favorite masks separately.
Without looking at the center of the square, Akali looked at the dazzling array of goods on both sides of the road and found that she had arrived at the foot of the mountain without knowing it.
"This is the road to the ancestral hall."
Akali said to herself, and was about to walk back, but she heard an unusual sound from the woods.
Several figures appeared in the shadowy woods, and there seemed to be a quarrel, which was not appropriate. The Blossom Spirit Day is to ask people to let go of their disputes, and they should not quarrel.
Akali couldn't help but approach quietly, wanting to persuade the fight, but after getting closer, she found that the situation was not that simple, so she subconsciously took a lighter pace.
The stealth technique was not in vain. She did not disturb the other party. She hid behind a tree smoothly, just as far away as she could hear what she was talking.
At first glance, there were five martial artists in total, surrounding a woman with a ill-gotten plot.
But after careful observation, Akali found that these were five members of the Navoli Brotherhood, surrounded by a Noxus woman, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong at first glance.
The reason why I recognized this as a fraternity was because Akali had seen one of the faces in her previous cooperative action, but their irritability was like a rough bandit, which made her feel disgusted and despised to recognize each other.
The Navoli Brotherhood was a group of guerrillas established during the Noxus invasion, and although the war was over, they did not put down their weapons.
War awakened the seeds of violence in people's hearts. Some Navoli members fought for freedom, saying that Noxus would make a comeback sooner or later, asking people to take up weapons to prepare for future wars, and even want to counterattack Noxus. Others were because they only knew how to fight, and some might just borrow the name of the Brotherhood to rob the family and bully the weak.
The Brotherhood has all kinds of people, and it absorbs the blind anger of the younger generation and continues to grow stronger, but it has never had excellent leaders and lacks organization and rules.
Although the woman did not wear armor or weapons, her characteristics as Noxus were always recognized at a glance. They always had an indelible smell of coal ash on them, and the steel of the immortal fortress remained year by year.
"Say, what did the Noxus ship docked in the nearby bay come from?" said the leader of the warrior, with a fierce tone and seemed to be able to use force at any time.
"I don't know, I'm not from the army, I'm just an ordinary woman, coming to the festival market to buy something and feed the children." The woman tried hard to explain because of her fear, and she was indeed carrying a bag of pastries in her hand.
Only then did Akali realize that the Noxus soldiers appeared in the town recently because an imperial ship came into the bay, and the outpost had been completely destroyed.
"You've been exposed." Wufu said: "Average people have such a strong physique? There are scars on their bodies. You have definitely been a soldier. Eighty-mostly a spy, who came to Weili to spy on intelligence."
"No, I've been a soldier before, but I'm a deserter and I don't even like me in the empire. I escaped from the army as soon as I came to Ionia. I'm different from other Noxus. I haven't killed an Ionian!"
The woman explained anxiously, from escaping from fear of being executed due to an unexpected pregnancy, to how difficult it is to raise children alone on strange land.
At that time, Noxus was still under the rule of Duckwell, and the military discipline was strict. Once a pregnant female soldier was found, she would be hung to death to serve as a warning.
But even though she said so much, these people seemed to have not heard a word.
"Follow us, the dogs of Noxus. You are not worthy of coming here, you are poisoning our festival."
The two martial artists grabbed the woman's arms respectively. The woman immediately struggled violently and shouted heart-wrenchingly in Noxus, saying that she didn't want to leave with these people, and she had to go back to take care of the child who was not yet satisfied with Wuxia.
"Or take us to see your child, the lie will end up being awful."
The woman cried harder, and she didn't want her children to face such dangerous people.
It is very infuriating for five cruel warriors to bully a single mother, but when Akali thinks that this woman is Noxus, her hot heart can't help but be poured with a basin of cold water.
From her position, it was really hard for her to make a choice. And she just hid a shuriken in her pocket, which was not very convenient no matter what she did.
Akalis looked at it and thought that he should observe it again, follow the group of people to see what they were going to take the woman to do, see if the woman was telling the truth or lies, and then decide whether to rescue her or stand by.
When the brotherhood dragged the woman away, Akali was about to follow, her shoulders suddenly sank.
Akali quickly looked back and found a man wearing a fox fairy mask standing behind him at some point and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Akali, what's wrong?"
As soon as the familiar voice came out, Akali couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't notice the other person's approaching at all.
"So it's Sister Kasha, you scared me."
"Why do you scare you? Are you guilty?" Another person with a fanged ghost mask leaned over. This was the image of Xiexian, the extraditioner of the soul. The faint sarcasm in his voice knew it was Kahn.
"Something happened here just now. We walked and said, it would be too late if we didn't keep up." Akali explained.
