Chapter 313 Storm Scythe Kayn
Hearing Kayn's words, the Shadow disciples were stunned.
None of them expected that this little Noxian wolf would come back, and come back for a group of Ionian civilians they had never met before.
Zed also looked at Kayn deeply.
Then he asked, "What's your name?"
“Kayn, Siddha Kayn,” Kayn said.
“Kayn, huh…” Zed’s eyes were complicated: “I understand what you said. I will lead the villagers to evacuate immediately.”
“That’s good.” Kayn breathed a sigh of relief.
Jie pondered for a while, then asked directly, "Do you want to come with us?"
"Huh?" Kayn was slightly stunned.
“What?” The disciples also looked at Jie in surprise: “Master Jie, you, you want to take this Noxian kid with you?”
"Yeah." Jie nodded.
He didn't explain why. After all, the reason was self-evident.
Kayn proved with his actions that being a Noxian is just an external identity and he can transcend this identity.
But for Kayn now, the Noxian military camp is no longer suitable for him.
He has betrayed Noxus.
"Hmm..." The disciples could no longer say anything to object.
Zed asked Kayn in a rare gentle tone: "Are you willing to come? I can accept you as my disciple and teach you the way of the shadow stream."
"I..." Kayn hesitated instinctively.
Zed asked: "Are you still reluctant to leave Noxus ?"
“Uh…” Kayn was also asking himself this question.
Doesn't he want to leave Noxus?
No, not at all.
It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that he no longer had the slightest attachment to the military camp that he once regarded as his entire life.
He has awakened. An awakened person will not be willing to be a meaningless cannon fodder.
So what is he hesitating about?
Kayn thought about it carefully and found that the reason for his entanglement was: "I don't want to join the Shadow Sect because..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a crumpled copy of "A Brief Account of Janna's Thoughts" from his pocket:
"I want to join the leader."
"Oh?" Jie was very surprised. He didn't expect that this young man had some connection with the Leader.
So he asked curiously: "Why do you want to join the leader?"
Kayn thought for a moment and said, "Noxus will force me to kill Ionians, and the Cult of the Shadow will force me to kill Noxians."
"And the Wind Leaders won't force me to do anything. They will only take me to kill those bastards who force everyone to kill each other."
Jie: “…”
He was silent for a long time, and the way he looked at Kayn was completely different.
He was no longer a naive and ignorant boy, but a mature person: "It seems that you really understood the book."
“How about this.” Zed thought for a moment and proposed a new condition to Kayn: “I’ll give you two choices.”
"First, follow us and leave. When we find the Leader later, I will give you the opportunity to join them."
"second……"
The second option is somewhat dangerous.
It was also a spur-of-the-moment idea of Zed; he had not originally intended to let Kayn do it.
But after seeing the boy's firm and mature will, he suddenly had more confidence in this little guy.
"Second, do us a favor."
"Return to the Noxian military camp and collect some information for our next actions."
"You..." Kaiyin was stunned: "What do you want to do?"
"We are going to kill your general." Jie said calmly, "Didn't you just tell us? Your general Lester is a man who doesn't understand warnings."
"Since he can't understand, we can only use the language he can understand to explain some principles to him."
“This…” Kayn’s pupils shrank.
He just wanted to save people, but he was not mentally prepared to get involved in such a big event.
This is not just about being a traitor, but also being an undercover agent, the most dangerous traitor.
“This is the only way to deter the enemy and stop the massacre,” Jie said. “If we don’t do this, many more villages will face disasters like what you saw today.”
"We, the Shadow Sect, cannot save everyone by ourselves."
If one village can be evacuated, what about ten, or a hundred? Where can so many people evacuate to?
"The province of Baruo has been blockaded from the sea by Noxian warships." said Jie.
If Noxus wants to kill people, this is a giant slaughterhouse. No one can escape.
Kayn: “…”
He tightly grasped the sickle in his hand, thinking silently.
Jie also gave him time to think.
After a long time, Zed asked, "Kayn, what is your choice?"
Kayn replied in a mysterious way: "What should I do? What do you want to know?"
"It's enough to know General Lester's general schedule and specific location." Jie said: "Of course, it would be best to find a chance when he is not in the barracks, so that we can take action."
“Okay…” Kayn gritted his teeth: “Then how should I contact you?”
"It's very simple." Jie gave the answer with action.
His figure flashed, and the shadow under his feet squirmed and split into a dark human figure.
“Come here.” Zed waved to Kayn.
Kayn took two steps forward, and the human figure condensed from the shadow seemed to come alive and slowly walked towards him.
The shadow clone squirmed and turned into a pool of light "liquid" like black water, lingering around Kaiyin's body.
Eventually, it became an ink-like tattoo on Kayn's arm, merging silently with him.
"This is the clone I condensed using shadow energy." Jie said.
"As long as the distance is not too far, you can communicate with me through it - of course, you must be in a safe environment and not let others discover the magical fluctuations after it is activated."
“I…” Kayn nodded: “I understand.”
He took on this dangerous task.
But……
"Master Jie!" The disciples immediately became restless.
They could barely accept that Zed wanted to take this Noxian kid as his student.
But, let this guy go undercover?
“No, this is too dangerous.” The disciples reminded: “Master Jie, assassinating the leader of a chapter is no small matter, and this kid… he is a Noxian after all.”
"If he betrays us after he returns and tricks us into a trap, then our Shadow Cult will be doomed!"
"I know." Jie nodded preparedly.
He knew how dangerous the mission to assassinate the Chapter's leader was.
This plan could easily go awry if Kayn's loyalty was unreliable.
"But I can trust him." Jie was very confident in his eyesight.
"Why?" The disciples were puzzled.
“Based on this.” Zed pointed to the wrinkled copy of “ A Brief Account of Janna’s Thought” that Kayn had taken out from his arms earlier.
"What does this mean?" The disciples still couldn't understand: "This book is everywhere. We can buy it!"
Zed didn't answer directly, but just looked at Kayn:
"I heard that a true wind leader only needs to pray to the goddess to borrow divine power, drive the storm, and even show his own 'thread of faith'. "
“Kayn, can you show us your thread of faith?”
"Huh?" Kayn was slightly stunned.
His expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed: "I, I am not a leader at all..."
"I just met a leader and got this book from her."
Kayn doesn't consider himself a leader.
What he didn't even know was that Riven, who led him on this path, was not an official leader.
“How can a half-baked person like me have a thread of faith?” Kayn himself didn’t believe it.
"Try it." Jie encouraged.
He looked at Kayn thoughtfully. "Try to pray to the goddess Janna and show your thread of faith."
“I can’t.” Kayn shook his head.
"No." Zed said, "I believe you can."
"If you are willing to risk your life to go back as an undercover agent to save the Ionians, and you are still not considered a leader, then I have to doubt whether the legends about leaders are true."
Kayn: “This…”
He was silent, trying with mixed feelings, calling out the goddess' name in his heart.
He prayed to the goddess for a miracle, asking her to reveal his thread of faith.
Then……
A strong wind suddenly arose, howling around Kayn.
A bright thread of faith stretched straight out from him.
"This?!" The disciples all widened their eyes in shock.
It was the first time for them to see an ordinary person who had no knowledge of magic transform into a wizard who controlled the element of wind in an instant.
Will the colleagues from the Gale Sword Sect be unemployed in the future?
"I see." Jie sighed softly.
Looking at Kayn, who was stunned and shocked in the strong wind, he seemed to have finally verified something:
“So this is the leader.”
