Chapter 159 Riven's Confusion

988, mid-June.

Riven followed her usual habit. After getting up early in the morning, she first bent over the bucket at the door and used a ladle to get a basin of water. Then she put her calloused hands into the water, filled it with water to wash her face, and then filled it with a wooden cup. Apply some water to brush your teeth. Finally, Riven opened her mouth, took off the hair rope she was holding, and then tied up her wet white hair.

Squinting her orange eyes and looking at the rising sun, Riven slouched up, a seductive gasp coming from her throat. She moved her shoulders, rolled up her sleeves, and picked up the With her hoe in hand, Riven prepares for a new day's work.

At this moment, a hunched man walked out of the room, looked at Riwen outside the door, and said, "Whose family are you going to farm for today?"

"Dad, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Riven turned around, the morning light hit her body, and her skin exuded a very healthy color.

In fact, the food in Ionia is no worse than in Noxus, and here, Riven does not need to fight every day. Therefore, despite the hard farming work, Riven still feels I gained a little weight.

But this is just her feeling, because no matter who looks at it, Riven has nothing to do with being fat.

The muscles of her body are evenly distributed, and she looks lean and lean, but she still gives people the feeling of being extremely powerful.

This should be because of the first sense brought by momentum?

"As people get older, they sleep less." Asa said, then he looked at Riven, and after a moment of silence he said, "You should rest more. If this continues, your body will be able to persist, but your The heart will also be tired.”

"Dad, I'm not tired." Riven shook her head and said.

"Nonsense, is there anyone who is not tired? You are just holding on." Asa blew his white beard and straightened up to make himself look more energetic. He said, "Although I am old , but I still have the strength. The things at home are not only yours, but also mine. You have to do everything, so I am raising a daughter or a servant. "

After hearing this, Riwen laughed, stretched out her hand to flick the simple white balls she had tied up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, I think it's really good now. Compared with the previous life, this point Not too tired.”

"Forget it. Just make your own decision." Seeing that Riven didn't listen to him, Asa didn't continue. He walked to Riven, picked up the ladle, and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?" ?”

"I want to eat fried rice. Dad, let's get some fried rice." Riwen's eyes lit up and she said loudly.

Asa's fried rice is very delicious, and fried rice is a very simple food, but it is particularly delicious.

At least for Riven, this is the food she has eaten the most since arriving in Ionia, but it is also the food she will least get bored of.

Because fried rice has a good taste and a strong feeling of satiety, with a simple bowl of fried rice and a bowl of vegetable soup or mushroom soup, Riwen feels that she will have endless energy for the day.

"Okay, then I will send it to you at noon." Asa said after receiving the water.

Riven nodded, took the tools, and walked towards the farmland where she was going to help today.

After the war, this small village lost many young people, and those left behind were mostly elderly people, or young people who were injured due to the war and had difficulty moving.

That's why Riven helps every household. In the past, she did it to atone for her sins, but now, Riven is willing to help them from the bottom of her heart.

This is a two-way redemption for Riven and the Ionians in the village.

And after Riwen brought a water bottle and wore half-sleeves, and worked hard all morning, when the sun was at its strongest, she also chose to hide under the bushes and start to rest.

But just after pressing the grass down so that she could lie down, Riven suddenly stood up and looked at one place at the same time.

At the same time, a group of people in red clothes appeared on the top of the hillside, and they also looked at Riven.

"you"

Riven instantly became alert. What did she see?

A group of people she thought were dead

But now, they appeared before him alive, still wearing Noxian clothes.

Is it because of the Soul Blooming Festival? No, no, it’s not the time for the Soul Blooming Festival at all, so why are the dead teammates here?

Riven rubbed her eyes and looked at the hillside in the distance, but it wasn't until the other party spoke that Riven realized it.

"Are you surprised to see us? Riven."

The tall woman in the lead said coldly, with disgust for Riven in her tone. She lifted the weapon in her hand, a short crossbow with a strange shape, and pointed the short crossbow at Riwen. She continued:

"Don't move. You can't escape in an open place like this without a rune sword to defend yourself, Riven."

"Captain Marit," Riven said in surprise, "You, you're not dead?"

"Do you really want me to die?" Marit sneered. She waved her other hand lightly. On both sides, several women rushed towards the hillside and ran towards Riven separately. They arrived at Riven at an extremely fast speed. around.

At the same time, they also pointed their weapons at Riven.

"Why are you doing this?"

"You ask us why we are doing this?!" A girl who was closer to Riven showed an angry expression. She pointed her dagger at Riven's chest, made two gestures and said, "You betrayed us, how dare you ask?"

"I betrayed you?" Riven was stunned, and she immediately explained: "I didn't betray you! I thought, I thought you were all dead! Because of this, I left the battlefield and chose to wander. Marit, Russia Lars, I've been thinking, Noxus really deserves us."

"Shut up! Traitor!" Erath shouted.

Riven swallowed back what she wanted to say. In her eyes, the joy of reunited with the team members disappeared, and what appeared was sadness and self-blame.

"You are here to take me back to Noxus, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Riven raised her hands and said loudly: "I won't resist, I will go back with you. I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect that the people who came to arrest me would be you."

"And you actually agreed. Let me say it again, Marit, when I left, it was not because I betrayed you, but because I thought you all died in the war. The alchemical gas destroyed Ionia and corroded the corpses. I can’t tell, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, really, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

Marit also walked up to Riven at this moment, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and whispered: "You didn't lie?"

"Marit, am I a liar?" Riven looked at Marit and said seriously.

Yes, she betrayed Noxus, became a deserter, and now helps the Ionians, but Riven definitely did not betray her teammates.

Her hands still had scars from when she dug up rubble, and her hands were covered in blood. She dug up more than three hundred corpses, but Marit and the others were not found, so Riven thought they were dead.

It was also because of the "deaths" of Marit and the others that Riven completely gave up on Noxus. The upper class never regarded the lives of soldiers as fate, nor did they value the lives of ordinary people. In their eyes, everyone was It's a tool.

This doesn't fit with Riven's philosophy.

".We need time to sort it out, Riven. If you don't say it, we will believe it."

"I see."

"So, can you give me some time? Let me say goodbye to the locals, and then I will go back with you obediently." Riven looked at Marit and said, she continued: "You know, if I want to resist, There's nothing you can do against me, Marit. You shouldn't let Erath and Weiwei get close to me. At this distance, none of you can stop me."

"."

Marit nodded, "Then we will follow you."

Just as he was talking, there was a "click" and a lunch box rolled down.

Riven and Marit looked over at the same time and saw a hunchbacked old man rushing over.

He ran all the way, and then ran up to Marit. The hunched old man was much shorter than Marit, but he tried his best to straighten his body and said loudly: "You, what do you want to do?"

"Who is he?" Marit asked, not being able to understand Asa's language and looking at Riven.

If he hadn't seen that the other party was an old man, then when the other party rushed over, Marit would have already raised his crossbow and launched an attack.

Riven's expression became much gentler, and her white hair swept across her eyes. She lowered her head slightly, looked at the old man standing in front of her, and said with some pride: "My father."

"???

"What the hell?"

"Wait, I didn't understand."

Several women were stunned, and the atmosphere of tension with Riven changed because of Riven's words.

After all, they are so familiar with Riven!

They used to be sisters who fought in the trenches, ate and slept together, and even bathed together. How could they not be familiar with Riven?

Therefore, they knew that Riven was an orphan, and now... Riven said that the man in front of her was her father?

Could it be that Riven betrayed Noxus because she had Ionian blood? Has she found her relatives?

For a moment, several girls who were actually not very young were confused.

Riven seemed to have guessed what the sisters were thinking, so she reached forward and patted Asa on the shoulder. Then, Riven said in Ionian language: "Dad, they are my sisters. you do not need to worry."

"But they are Noxians, do they want to take you back?" Asa turned around, looked at Riven and asked nervously.

"Dad, I have to go back, otherwise, the Noxians who come next time won't be them." Riven looked at Asa and said seriously.

"I've done too many things wrong, and I can't make any more mistakes."

"I knew you still wanted to die!" Asa said to Riven in a reproachful tone. He continued loudly: "Have you not let go of those things after all these years? My child, you are not seeking balance. of."

"Dad, I can't always seek balance." Riwen laughed, she lowered her head and hugged Asa, and said softly: "I'm sorry that because of my affairs, I couldn't let you die for your mother. Dad, I'm sorry. "

"Have you forgotten what Yasuo said to you?"

"No, that's why dad, I didn't want to seek death." Riven winked mischievously, picked up Asa with both hands and turned around. She carried Marit and others on her back and said with a smile: "I will resist."

"Have you decided?" Asa asked.

Riven nodded.

"I have decided that this is the only way to stop Noxus from coming to Ionia," Riven said.

Asa sighed, and the old man patted the back of Riven's hand with his withered hand, signaling Riven to put him down.

Riven put Asa down, and Asa looked at Marit and the others, speaking in the awkward Valoran language, and said: "She is a very good child, she has been looking for you, and she has also atoned for her behavior, so please treat her well."

"." Marit and the others did not speak, but just looked at Riven and Asa quietly.

Riven and Asa talked a little more, and then she looked at Marit with a smile and said: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, okay, let's go."

"Don't you still have things to deal with?"

Riven shrugged and said casually: "It's done."

"Okay, let's go back to Noxus."

"The Rune Sword has become a broken blade. Let me tell you first, don't wait until we return to Noxus to trouble me because of this matter."

"Who told you to go back to Noxus?" Marit rolled her eyes.

"Huh?"

"Where else can I go if not to Noxus?" Riven looked at Marit.

Then, Marit's answer made Riven's eyes widen.

"Go to Demacia."

Tickling her ears, Riven lifted the hair covering her eyes, looked at Marit and said, "Are you sick?"

As she said that, Riven even went forward to touch Marit's forehead.

Marit raised her hand and slapped Riven's hand away, impatiently saying, "Don't make trouble, I haven't forgiven you yet, Riven."

"I emphasize again, deserter Riven, now we are sending you to Demacia."

"So why Demacia!" Riven shouted.

She couldn't understand it at all!

Demacia, Demacia? !

Although she had never been to Demacia, could Riven not know Demacia?

That was the mortal enemy of Noxus! They had fought for hundreds of years and were still fighting against each other!

And now, the country wanted to send her to Demacia?

Do you want me to bear the consequences of the war failure?

But that's not right!

I didn't participate in the battle of Demacia!

Riven looked puzzled. She was really confused. Marit's words made her originally calm and resigned heart beat.

Of course, it was an uneasy beat.

Looking at the confused Riven, Marit's mouth curled up, but it soon disappeared. She said, "How should I know?"

"Anyway, this is what the commander wants. You must go to Demacia and then go to a place called the War Institute."

"In short, you have been sold, Riven."

Riven: "?"
