"What determination?" Lester asked.

"A complete betrayal of the determination of the past." Tomili looked in the direction of the Immortal Fortress from a distance and asked pointedly.

"Do you have such determination, Commander Lester?"

Lester was silent for a while.

Finally, he said: "The determination of believers has always been given by gods."

"The reason why the Ursines believe in Volibear and are willing to leave the human race for it is because they have witnessed Volibear's divine power and know the greatness of the god."

"If there really is such a god in the world who opposes Janna... I think I might also have such determination."

There was a delicate silence.

Tomili observed his expression deeply, and then smiled: "Hahaha... Look at us, both of us are drunk, and we are beginning to imagine that gods will come to save Noxus. Haha..."

He looked at the sky outside the window: "It's getting late. I drank too much and I want to rest."

"Commander Lester, I will no longer entertain you."

"This..." Lester frowned slightly.

But then, I heard General Natomili say meaningfully: "If you are still free tomorrow night, come to my place again..."

"I will call a few reliable friends and entertain you well."

.....................

Lester said goodbye to General Tomili and slowly walked out of the living room smelling of alcohol.

God, the god who belongs to their nobles...

The "crazy words" Tomili said while half-drunk still lingered in his mind at this moment.

This is like an unrealistic hope, it is so illusory and unbelievable, but it makes desperate people instinctively willing to believe it.

Should he believe it?

Will he come again tomorrow?

I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol or something else, but Lester's mind is very confused right now.

"Teacher Lester?" A call interrupted his chaotic thoughts and called him back to reality.

It was a young man with a stern expression, his student, Siddha Kayn.

Although Kayn has only been with Lester for more than a year, he is far inferior to his other cronies in the military.

But Kayn was an orphan he single-handedly promoted from the youth camp. It can be said that he completely changed Kayn's life and destiny, and he has infinite kindness to Kayn.

Moreover, this kid is less than 12 years old this year, and is still only a half-grown child. Children's thoughts are easy to control, and they are not as difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery as adults.

Lester has been training Kayn in the same way as the officers of the old empire, without telling him the truth that Noxus has been secretly controlled by the Windleader.

According to his secret observations and repeated tests, in following him for more than a year, Kayn has not shown any yearning for the leader's ideas or sympathy for the poor and weak.

At the same time, with his deliberate connivance and encouragement, Kayn never fell short of the material comforts that those in the upper class should have.

This kid completely broke away from his origins as a wandering orphan, and was successfully trained by him to become an upstart in the empire.

Therefore, compared with those cronies in the army who became his subordinates only after they reached adulthood, the young and immature boy Kayn, the black seedling he cultivated with his own hands, made Lester feel at ease.

He has always carefully cultivated Kai Yin as his personal disciple, and always takes this kid with him as his accompanying adjutant.

Kayn was extremely talented, intelligent and loyal. As time went by, he really regarded Kayn as half his son.

While Lester was drinking and talking secretly with General Tomili, Kayn had been waiting outside the drawing room.

Seeing him coming out now, Kaiyin took the initiative to follow his pace and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Lester, how is the situation?"

"Did you gain anything this time?"

"I..." Lester was speechless for a moment.

He knew that Kayn asked him this in order to write an investigation report for him to give to Swain.

Yes. General Tomili, his old comrade-in-arms, was exactly one of the people on the investigation list Swain gave him.

Did he gain something this time? Of course he did.

The last hope of the nobles, a true god who seems to exist - General Tomili secretly revealed this time, but it is a very terrible news.

Then should he report the matter truthfully and tell Swain about it?

He wants to tell the leader that the nobles may still have hope of turning around. Is there any help from the gods?

"Teacher Lester?" Kayn cast an inquiring look again.

"Nothing." Lester came back to his senses and replied in a strange way: "It's still the same as before, nothing useful was discussed."

"That guy just complained behind my back and invited me to continue drinking tomorrow."

"I understand." Kayn nodded naturally: "Then I will report in the report that nothing happened."

"Hmm..." Lester nodded guiltily.

"Then are we coming again tomorrow?" Kayn asked again.

Lester was silent for a while.

He looked at the towering and eye-catching Immortal Fortress in the distance, the pinnacle of power of the Noxian Empire.

He once thought that as long as he kept fighting at all costs, he could gain a place there.

But now...

"Kayn." Lester suddenly asked in a confused manner: "Do you want to be a noble?"

"This..." Kayn was stunned for a moment.

Then he said in a sincere tone: "Of course. Every day in the slums, I wanted to be a noble."

"But what if someone refuses to let you be?" Lester asked.

"I will clear out all enemies on the way forward." Kayn replied in a cold tone.

"Including me?" Lester asked jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Kayn replied seriously: "Including you. If you want to kill my dream."

"..."

"Haha. You and I are really similar, Kayn." Lester smiled. He got the answer he wanted.

He took steps and walked forward without saying a word.

"Teacher Lester? Then tomorrow..." Kayn hurriedly followed and asked the question just now.

Lester never looked back.
