"I have a strange feeling."
After seeing that strange person run away, Li Ke looked at the scarecrow that Morgana had crushed and felt that something was wrong. But no matter how he examined the scarecrow, he could only conclude that it was an ordinary scarecrow. Although it was very strange for a scarecrow like this to exist in an abandoned town, Li Ke didn't feel any strange power from it.
Therefore, Li Ke used the scarecrow that Mo Gan had crushed as firewood. Even so, he still felt strange. There was a strange feeling in his heart.
"It's probably some kind of monster in the past. This kind of situation often happens in Demacia. People's emotions ferment after being suppressed and then converge on something, turning into a strange monster. This kind of thing is actually very common."
Morgana didn't mind at all. After all, she had been through a lot and had seen a lot.
"So don't worry too much about it. Demacia people are very experienced in dealing with this kind of monster. And from the looks of it, it's very likely that it was created by someone who wanted to scare us away. "
She herself had such an experience. For example, because the Demacians could not accept the outfit she liked, it did not take long for her pot to turn into a strange monster that only produced thick green soup and poisonous white bubbles. She was depressed for a long time because of that, and had no choice but to destroy her own pot. Therefore, she didn't care about these weak monsters. Apart from some special ones or those that attacked humans in front of her, she didn't care about them at all. She felt that these monsters were created by the flaws of humans, so it was only natural that they could be defeated by humans themselves.
The monsters created by fear needed to be defeated with courage. The monsters created by greed needed to be defeated with satisfaction. The monsters created by jealousy needed to be defeated with admiration and friendship. The monsters created by selfishness needed to be defeated with selflessness. These monsters that appeared from human emotions were the sins of humans themselves. They were also the shortcut for humans to become perfect. They were their own trials.
This was Morgana's attitude towards these monsters created by human emotions, as well as her inner thoughts.
"That Demacia is really plagued with misfortunes."
Li Ke believed in this kind of saying that faith could create monsters and gods because there were indeed such existences in this world. For example, the Wind Naga of 998. After her background story changed from a scheming and ambitious beautiful female mage to a god, the League of Legends universe officially recognized that faith could make people stronger.
This goddess who controlled the wind would die if she didn't have faith. But if she had enough faith, her power would reach an unimaginable level.
So when Morgana said that the people of Demacia would become monsters because of their fear, Li Ke absolutely believed it. After all, the difference between gods and monsters was only the way they acted. Since people's faith could create a kind god who wholeheartedly cared for everyone, it was normal to create weak, but very cruel monsters.
"It can't be helped. This world might be beautiful, but it's also very cruel."
Morgana smiled softly and took the biscuits and meat soup from Li Ke. Then, she gently broke the biscuits, making a crisp sound. But when she broke the biscuits, something in the distance also made a crisp sound.
"Ahhhhh!!"
The Noxus spy frantically hit the scarecrow in front of him with the wooden stick in his hand. His face was filled with fear and he no longer cared about whether he would be exposed or not.
Just as he was about to reach the rendezvous point, he suddenly realized that there was something behind him. When he turned his head vigilantly, he saw a tattered scarecrow holding a lamp and standing silently behind him. When he saw the scarecrow's smiling face, the scarecrow's' neck ', which was formed by two old wooden sticks tied together, seemed to be unable to support the scarecrow's brain and fell to the side!
The Noxus spy was certain that he didn't see the scarecrow when he came here! And the lamp in the scarecrow's hand was the one that he smashed on the rock!
That legend is true?!
It's looking at me?!
I'm being watched!
Fear immediately appeared in his heart, but he, who was born in Noxus, chose to vent his fear. He picked up a wooden stick beside him and rushed towards the scarecrow. He easily knocked the scarecrow that suddenly appeared behind him to the ground and broke the rotten stick that made up the scarecrow. The lantern in the scarecrow's hand fell to the ground, and the light inside the lantern slowly went out.
"Ha … Ha …"
The cawing of the crows was accompanied by the scout's heavy breathing. The slightly chilly sky gave him a strange feeling. But when he panted and slowly retreated while observing his surroundings, his back suddenly collided with a cold and hard object. He could feel that it was a wooden stick!
Could it be!
He immediately wanted to smash the wooden stick in his hand, but before he could react, he felt a kick on his butt. Then, he fell forward uncontrollably and fell to the ground. He could see the empty eyes and mouth of the scarecrow. But before he could react to what was happening, a foot stepped on his back, and a cold sensation spread to his neck.
But his first reaction wasn't fear. Instead, he was glad that it was a human.
"You're the one who smashed the scarecrow that we used as a lookout? It seems like … Wait, Ryan, it's you? Why did you do such a stupid thing? "
The voice was full of surprise. Then, the foot that stepped on the spy's back lifted. The spy stood up immediately because he didn't want to see the scarecrow anymore. And his first reaction wasn't to catch up with his former partner. Instead, he asked directly.
"You made this?!"
His colleague, a man who looked no different from the blacksmiths of Demacia, looked at him strangely and nodded.
"You can say that. After all, when I found him, he was almost rotten. Only the lamp in his hand was intact, so I added some straw as a disguise … What's wrong?"
Ryan looked at his colleague and found that he didn't seem to be lying. He couldn't help but wonder if he was really oversensitive. But what he saw next made him raise his dagger and forget about the scarecrow. That was because the person he saw behind his comrade was a low-ranking officer of Demacia whom he knew!
