Chapter 364: Garen, do you want a wife?
Katarina walked into Galen's barracks.
She saw Garen's honest yet handsome face, and also saw Lux and the barracks guards who were in the way.
So, she subconsciously thought:
He used Flash Step followed by Waiting for the Right Moment to stab Garen, then used Catapult Blade followed by Flash Step to severely injure Lux, then used Death Lotus to throw out countless flying knives, instantly killing Garen, Lux and the guards at the door.
"Ahem..." Catalina ended her fantasy instantly.
She wasn't here to assassinate Galen this time, she didn't even have a knife with her.
After all, the mission Leblanc gave her was...
"Lord Garen." Katarina's scalp was numb with embarrassment.
She really hasn't practiced this.
Compared to these boring erotic tricks, Catalina has been more interested in cold blades since she was a child.
Why should she rely on her looks to get close to a man when she can just flash and ride him on the face? That’s what she used to think.
But now... Alas, I regret not having read enough books when I need them.
LeBlanc let her play freely and act more naturally.
Catalina became so natural that she couldn't even speak clearly: "I, I..."
"Take your time, there's no rush." Galen stood up enthusiastically, moved a chair from his sister's side, and placed it for Katarina.
Lux glanced at Garen with a strange expression, as if she had just discovered today that her brother had this side.
"Ms. Kana, what do you want to talk to me about?" Garen watched Katarina nervously sit down in her seat, then asked with a warm smile: "If you need anything, just tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you."
"I dare not, I dare not..." Catalina did not forget her own personality.
She lowered her head nervously like a country girl, and at the same time, she fiddled with her fingers, blushing, almost in her true character.
To others, this was the little girl tangle her fingers with the hem of her clothes shyly. But only Miss Carter herself knew that what she was thinking was:
My hands are itchy...
I really want to chop someone up, you bastard!
Katarina cursed in her heart, but she said, "General Galen, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you and your companions, the three of us would have died at the hands of those Noxians."
"So, I...I want to repay you, my Lord."
"Oh?" Lux frowned and said gossipingly, "Sister, how do you want to repay my brother?"
"I..." Catalina really wanted to kill this Debon brat who was causing trouble with a single knife.
But she still forced herself to say the only line LeBlanc gave her:
"I, I have no home now, and I don't have anything else to repay you, so..."
"If you are willing to take me in, General, I can serve you, you..." Catalina held it in for a long time before finally saying it in full: "Be your maid and take care of your daily life."
It is a very reasonable motivation for a refugee girl whose family has been destroyed and who has left her home to seek shelter from the young general who saved her.
The story of a handsome man saving a beautiful girl and the girl giving herself to him is a folk story that has been popular in Ionia for thousands of years and has never gone out of style.
So Katarina's straight ball didn't seem abrupt.
In short, it can be summed up in one sentence:
"Galen, do you want a wife or not?"
Bed warmer, just click and get it.
We in Ionia have never had a tradition of free love, and the status of generals and village girls has never been equal.
As long as you are willing, it’s no problem for you to go into the bridal chamber quickly.
"This, this..." When Galen heard Katarina's purpose, his face flushed like an innocent boy who had never seen a woman, as if he couldn't resist it: "Ms. Kana."
"We in the Debang army have rules that generals cannot bring maids to the front line. Isn't this bad?"
"Hmm..." Lux looked strange.
She keenly noticed that her brother didn't seem to be refusing.
"That is to say..." Lux couldn't help but interrupt again: "Brother, as long as you are not on the front line, you need Sister Kana to be your maid?"
"Well, ahem..." Galen's face turned a little red, and his words seemed to be a denial, but his attitude was not firm.
"No!" Lux stood up and objected.
She resolutely grabbed Katarina who came to offer her life and said to her: "This is the base ruled by the Wind Leader. It is not a village in Ionia, nor is it a noble manor in Demacia."
"What era is this? Why are we still learning this traditional way of repaying gratitude?"
Lux was so excited that she pulled Katarina and tried to persuade her:
"Ms. Kana, please don't humiliate yourself by thinking of working as a maid for a man in exchange for a meal."
"Perhaps you still cannot understand... but we don't have that kind of feudal personal dependence relationship here. Whether you are a general or a village girl, everyone has an equal status here."
Lux seemed to have become the women's director of the leader, determined to save Katarina from her deep-rooted feudal ideas and turn her into a new-age woman of industrial civilization:
"In short, if you really want to repay my brother's kindness, I also suggest that you first accept our leaders' ideological and cultural education, as well as free vocational skills training."
"Then you will understand that there are many possibilities in one's life. Even if you want to repay a favor, you can't sell out the rest of your life so easily."
Katrina: “…”
She glanced at the kind-hearted Miss Lux, and almost couldn't help revealing her murderous eyes.
But Lux was completely unaware.
She was still seeking justice for Katarina, and even looked at her brother threateningly: "Garen, you better behave yourself! If you dare to take advantage of someone's misfortune and do something like this, I will go back and tell mother!"
"Don't!" Galen hurriedly changed his words.
"Well, Miss Kana..." But when he looked at Katarina, he showed that slightly shy expression: "My sister is right."
"This matter is of great importance, you must consider it carefully. As for the matter of repaying the favor... we can have a chance to get to know each other better first. If you still have this in mind, it won't be too late to make a decision later."
"Huh?" Before Katarina could say anything, Lux looked at her angrily.
Do you want to learn more before making a decision?
Good man, are you still harboring evil intentions?
"Brother!" Lux's face sank: "Don't bully me!"
At first glance, the woman was a country girl who was still immersed in feudal values.
If Garen tried to "deepen her understanding" by pretending to be a noble general, how could she not throw herself into his arms and fall in love with him?
This is bullying because I haven't learned "Jana" yet!
"I know, I know..." Lux was indignant, but Garen was very perfunctory.
He still looked at Catalina with those youthful eyes that showed a little bit of excitement, and said, "You go back first, Miss Kana."
"Then, General Galen..." Catalina wanted to ask for the result.
And Galen seemed to have the same idea as her, and replied: "I will come to see you later."
"Brother!" He ignored his sister's rolling eyes and added, "If you need anything in the future, you can always come here to find me, Miss Kana."
"Thank you, General!" Catalina breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that men are so easy to deal with... There's no need to practice at all! Haha.
Miss Carter bowed to Garen with gratitude in the ancient Ionian etiquette and left with satisfaction.
When she left, only Galen and his sister were left in the barracks...
"Brother!!!" Miss Lux was completely furious.
Oh my god, what did she just see? She saw her brother using his noble status to half-heartedly abduct a helpless, innocent refugee girl!
What she hated most was the bullying, promiscuous and extravagant noble young masters in Xiongdu, and now...
"Shameless!" Lux looked at him with disdain as if he was looking at an animal.
"Stop it." Garen instantly regained his previous serious expression: "I'm working, do you understand?"
"Work?" Lux frowned. "Tricking orphaned girls back home to be maids is your job?"
"Wait..." She opened her mouth in disbelief.
The image of her brother as a simple and honest person instantly collapsed in the girl's heart.
Lux asked in horror, "Brother, during the years you were training in the German army, did you also 'work' like this?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Galen ignored it.
He just told Lux, "Lux, call Sona over."
"Why are you calling Sona?" Lux's eyes were full of vigilance.
Galen simply replied in all seriousness: "I need her to help check all the prisoners we captured and the civilians we rescued using mind reading."
"This..." Lux finally realized that something was wrong: "What does this mean?"
"Lux, didn't you just ask me what the 'second possibility' was?" Galen said, "I'll tell you -"
"The second possibility is also an old trick of the Noxians:"
"They will deliberately send out small teams to attract our army to attack, and then use this method to mix spies among prisoners of war and civilians and sneak into our interior quietly."
Hearing this, Lux was nervous at first.
But then, she relaxed her brows again: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this, right?"
"It is the German army that should worry about Noxian war masons, not us Wind Leaders."
"Unless those undercover agents can become leaders, they will never be able to pass the faith test and will not be able to access important intelligence."
Therefore, even if the coalition has a psychic mage like Sona, they will only use mind reading to check the memory of individual extraordinary strong people who pose a potential threat.
Firstly, large-scale inspections are too troublesome. If all prisoners of war and refugees need to be checked, it will only exhaust Sona.
Secondly, the leaders have a moat of faith, so even if there are undercover agents among these prisoners of war and refugees, they will not be able to play any role.
"Idiot!" Garen mocked his sister's intelligence, "You can think of something, don't the Noxians know it?"
The Noxians knew that the Windleader had an unsolvable test of faith, but they still sent war masons here continuously.
However, they have learned from their mistakes and have secretly changed their playing style.
In the past, they wanted to infiltrate the Leader as undercover agents, but they ended up becoming the Leader and sold out the empire.
And now...
"Since there is no way to obtain intelligence as a leader, then we can approach the leader as an ordinary person and indirectly !"
This is exactly the case.
In the past month, the number of new beauties in Zaun has suddenly increased to an abnormally high level.
The veteran cadres of the Leader encountered tests one after another. Except for Blitzcrank who did not meet the female robot, Vander who did not meet the female wolf, and Zach who did not meet the female slime... everyone had a few romantic encounters to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially Levi.
If Seraphine wasn't with him, Levi would probably meet ten beautiful girls who accidentally bumped into him when he went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes.
"This..." Lux finally saw through the enemy's cunning.
"Brother, are you saying..." She suddenly realized something: "That Miss Kana just now, could she be an undercover agent arranged by the Noxians?"
"It's possible." Galen pondered carefully, "But it's not likely."
"She..." He commented hesitantly, "So unprofessional."
"Unprofessional?" Lux looked strange.
You mean, you are an expert in this area? Brother, I didn't expect a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes to be...
"Ahem." Garen said seriously: "Lux, that's because you are still young. When you grow up, even if you can't learn it yourself, your mother will teach you these things."
The high-ranking nobles of Demacia all have the best family education.
In order to avoid scandals such as illegitimate children that would bring shame to their families, noble ladies paid great attention to the emotional education of their children.
Garen was born into a noble Crownguard family, needless to say.
Just like Levi’s recent experience, every time Galen appeared in public at aristocratic social occasions, there would always be a few beautiful ladies who accidentally spilled water on his clothes.
He had seen many girls who were courting him.
And Katarina...she is clearly the most unprofessional and the most clumsy and adorable of them all.
"Of course, this could also be a new tactic that I haven't seen before." Garen was still very cautious.
After all, the beauty spies of War Stonemason have various styles and temperaments, which always makes people hard to guard against.
"Perhaps, this Miss Kana was sent by the Noxians to seduce me."
"I just cooperated with her and showed my kindness to her just to stabilize her first. Once Sona has checked this batch of prisoners and civilians, we will know whether she is a spy from Noxus or not."
"I see." Lux murmured.
Unconsciously, she began to admire her brother's wisdom.
"Wait..." But Lux suddenly realized something was wrong again.
She raised her head and looked at her brother subtly: "What if after the examination, it is confirmed that Miss Kana is fine?"
"Do you want to continue to 'get to know her better'?"
"This..." Garen's face turned red.
This time it’s really popular.
He hesitated for a long time in embarrassment before finally answering in an Ionian tone: "Let it be."
