Chapter 337 Akali's Yearning
Akali saw Master Yi and watched him ride on his sword and fall across the sky.
This was the first time in her short life that she had seen a master other than the members of the Church of Balance, and a young master at that.
She just felt that Master Yi:
"So handsome!" Akali exclaimed.
This is not because the little girl is a fangirl, but because Master Yi is indeed very handsome now.
After all, the role he played this time was the diplomatic envoy of the leader. His image represented the image of the leader.
In order to make Master Yi appear in front of the Sect of Balance in the most perfect image, Jie put a lot of thought into it.
And Master Jie... from his domineering ninja armor, it can be seen that this master has aesthetic taste.
So Master Yi could obviously fly directly on the wind, but he still went to the trouble of stepping on the sword which only had a decorative function.
He also took off the seven-degree insight eyepieces that looked as indescribable as the compound eyes of an insect and greatly affected his personal image and placed them in the bag he carried with him.
This is flying a sword, riding the wind, plus Master Yi's own restrained demeanor of a master...
This seven-eyed mad dog, who had turned away from all relatives after revealing his highland bloodline, suddenly turned into a carefree swordsman with an ethereal air.
The noble aura of a noble and upright person, a hermit, began to surge out like a continuous tide from the moment he appeared on the stage.
Not only Akali thinks he is handsome.
Even the old senior Kenan approved of his outfit, lowered his guard towards him, and even had a good impression of him out of nowhere:
"Young man, are you from the Wuji Sword Sect?" Kenan walked forward with a gentle attitude.
"Yes, senior." Master Yi had never seen a living Yodel.
But he could sense that the strange "Vastaya Giant Squirrel" in front of him had unfathomable strength and must have considerable experience.
So he closed his eyes slightly, entered a meditative state to communicate with the spiritual realm, showed Kenan his Wuji secret technique, and used it to prove his identity.
"The secret technique of drawing magic power from the spiritual realm..." Kenan narrowed his eyes: "This is indeed the Wuji Dao."
Looking at Master Yi's young face, he couldn't help but admire: "The body and mind are united, and you can do whatever you want... At your age, you can actually master the Way of Wuji to this extent..."
This is already the realm of Master Wuji.
A Wuji master who is less than 20 years old - such a talented and extraordinary young man, will be the core disciple trained by the entire sect in any sect.
Master Yi not only proved that he was a disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect, but also proved his status in the Wuji Sword Sect.
"Welcome, Master from Wuji." Kenan politely gave Master Yi the treatment of a VIP.
But he still asked in confusion: "The Wuji Sword Sect has always been secluded from the world, why did they find this place this time?"
"How did you find this place?"
This is the refuge of the Order of the Balance, and in theory it is also a relatively secretive place.
In order to avoid being robbed and hunted down, the Order of the Balance has been recuperating and staying indoors for the past two years, rarely communicating with the outside world.
How did the Wuji Sword Sect, which is even more homely and closed than them, know about this place?
"This..." Of course it's because of Jie.
The Order of the Balance thought they were hiding very well, but their "arch enemy" Jie had never forgotten his good friend.
He already knew where the Order of the Kinkou was hiding, but he just pretended not to know.
These secrets are naturally not easy to reveal, so Master Yi had to answer: "It was the Goddess of Gana who guided me to come here on behalf of the Leader."
"Goddess Janna? Leader of the Wind?" Kennen was confused.
He did know the goddess Janna.
As a Yodel older than Janna, he certainly knew the Wind Avatar of Vazuan.
But what is a leader?
"Is it the sect of the goddess Janna?" Kenan asked puzzledly, "Her followers have always called themselves the Church of the Storm, and weren't they banned by the Shurima Empire 3,000 years ago?"
"When I went to Zaun 200 years ago, her sect's inheritance in the secular world seemed to have been almost cut off."
"Why, she has re-established her own cult and changed her name to Wind Leader?"
"This..." Master Yi was stunned for a moment.
He guessed that the big squirrel was a senior with a long history, but he didn't expect that this senior had such a long history.
Of course, he was even more surprised: "Senior, don't you know the leader?"
The legendary story of how the Leader stopped the Yipu River Port massacre should have spread widely in the Balue Province and surrounding areas over the past month.
It is located in the southern part of Shangzan Province, not too far from Barue Island.
How come I haven't heard of the Order of the Balance at all?
"Sorry." Kenan shook his head: "We haven't paid attention to the news outside the mountain for a long time ."
They fled here two years ago. At first, they kept an eye on the situation outside the mountain.
More than a year ago, Kennen even went to Presidium to gather military intelligence, and witnessed the historic scene of Irelia beheading Swain with his own eyes.
But later, under Shen's decision, the Order of the Kinkou made a complete turn and no longer interfered in the mortal world; plus, the Order of the Kinkou suffered heavy losses in Jie's rebellion, and it really needed time to recuperate.
So they completely gave up communicating with the outside world and lived their lives in seclusion in the mountains.
The only work they have been doing recently is to focus on training a new generation of disciples like Akali and slowly restore the strength of the sect.
As for what's happening outside the mountain, they don't care, and there's no point in caring.
Just like the Wuji Sword Sect before.
"I see." Master Yi suddenly realized that he was now playing the role of Riven who had just arrived in Wuji Village.
When Riven first came to Wuji Village, none of the Wuji swordsmen knew who the Leader was.
But after seeing their selfless help to the war refugees and the refugees' gratitude and trust in the Leader, they quickly developed a good impression of the Leader and recognized his existence.
Now that Master Yi doesn’t have so many refugees around him to speak for him, he can only use words to promote the leader:
"Senior, please allow me to introduce you to our leader."
"We, the Leaders, are indeed a sect that follows the Goddess of Janna, but we are very different from before, or the current Goddess of Janna, and are very different from before."
"The Goddess Janna did not have any teachings in the past. She only needed believers to believe in her existence."
"But now, her existence has been given more meaning—"
Master Yi first explained the leader’s beliefs as concisely as possible.
Then, he successfully...
Both Kennen and Akali were confused.
What are “Great Harmony Society”, “Highly developed productivity”, “Distribution according to need”… The little girl Akali doesn’t understand anything at all.
Kenan, the old man, managed to understand it, but he understood it in his own way:
"That is to say..."
"You want to allow humans to live the same life as in Bandle City in the material realm?"
"Uh..." Master Yi had never seen a Yodel before, but he knew Bandle City because it was written in the Wind Leader's book.
He thought about it and replied, "About the same."
"You are simply crazy." Kenan gave this comment very impolitely.
He himself was from Bandle City, and he knew too well what a harmonious society was: "It is a fairyland that can only exist in the spiritual realm, and it is a fantasy that can never appear in the material realm."
"You want to build Bandle City in the material realm. That's as ridiculous as chasing the sun on the horizon."
"Is it absurd?" Master Yi didn't think so.
Li Wei has already answered similar questions in his article:
“Although the sun is far away, it can at least point the way for mankind.”
"As long as humans keep moving in the right direction, they can continue to make progress—"
"From walking, to cars, to airplanes, to rockets, to the spacecraft and solar-exploring satellites in Piltover's science fiction stories... With more progress, how can we not catch up with the sun on the horizon?"
"This..." Kenan was speechless and unable to refute for a moment.
He had seen many gods in his long life, but he had never seen a god with such a grand and lofty belief...
Arrogant to the extreme, and romantic to death.
It makes people like moths to a flame, willing to sacrifice themselves to chase the light.
"That..." At this time, Akali also came back to her senses hesitantly.
She was not yet the decisive and outspoken person she would become in the future, but just a somewhat shy 10-year-old girl.
But she still mustered up her courage, looked at Master Yi tentatively, and asked, "In other words, you want to save everyone and let everyone live a happy life?"
"Yes." Master Yi nodded.
"Including the Ionians?" the little girl asked naively.
"Of course." Master Yi added, "But we don't just want to save the Ionians."
"We must awaken the Ionians, let all the oppressed Ionians stand up, unite, and unite under the banner of the goddess Janna, first drive away the Noxian invaders, and then change the whole world!"
“Unite…” Akali’s eyes lit up: “Unite all of Ionia…”
And not just Ionia, but the whole world.
What a grand wish this is!
Kennen said that the Kinkou couldn't do it, not even to unite with Ionia.
Do these so-called leaders have the ability to do this?
"We can do it!" Yi answered solemnly.
Of course, in order to avoid this sentence becoming a mere slogan, and to allow partners to see the foundation and prospects of the leader...
Master Yi added: "Because we are believers of Goddess Jana."
Isn’t it great to have a true God backing you up?
Are you still worried that the Leader is not capable enough to unite the entire Ionia?
"You, you..." Akali's heart surged: "Are you telling the truth? Will Goddess Janna really help you?"
"Of course!" Master Yi said to the mountain girl in the tone of an old senior: "Don't stay in the mountains all the time. Go down the mountain more often and you will know--"
"The news that Goddess Janna has personally descended upon the Twin Cities has long since spread throughout the Runelands."
"Wow!" Akali clenched her fists excitedly.
Balance may not be able to save the world, but the leader can!
The questions that had been bothering her for the past few years since the invasion of Noxus seemed to have been answered in an instant.
"Kennen!" Akali grabbed Kennen's furry little paw.
Then, she almost couldn't wait to make a decision for her own sect: "Kenan, let's cooperate with these leaders!"
