Chapter 388, Next Step
"Heh, it's great to see you back alive...... I thought you were killed by the Noxians. ”
Lines didn't get up, and said to the person at the door, this may be a little arrogant as a bartender, but Lines doesn't care at all now.
"Craft, can you explain what the Coalition was doing when I was in a critical moment?"
As he spoke, Lines blocked Ali, who was about to greet her warmly, stood up, and asked the somewhat elderly figure in front of him in an overcoat.
Crafto sighed and sat down slowly, facing Lines's questioning, keeping his head down and his wide-brimmed hat keeping his face out of sight.
"I'm so sorry...... Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Coalition did not have your evacuation plan in place, but I assure you that the Coalition is absolutely sincere to you and has no other intentions. ”
"Do you mean to abandon me, or sell me?"
Lines said sneeringly.
"I don't want to say this as a shelteree, but I want you to remind me when danger is imminent, that I don't just run away with my tail between my legs. ”
As he spoke, Lines patted the table at the bar with some annoyance.
"Did you know that in the last few days, I've ...... And the people around me, who almost died, died, you know? The blood-colored elite of Noxus, and a vampire who can't die, do you know what I've been facing these days?"
"I'm so sorry...... I ......"
"You can put the fire out, Lanens. “
At this moment, a familiar voice came, and at some point, a figure appeared in the corner of the tavern with its shiny bald head, and on the table in front of him, there was a half-written roll of parchment, and the words 'appropriation, repression' could be faintly discerned from it.
Valoran's busiest man, the number one clerk of the War Academy, the rune mage Ruiz, appeared in front of Lines again.
"Really...... There are all these little things that I can't take away from every day, and if you were a little more sensible, I wouldn't have to make this trip any longer. ”
"Master Ruiz, I ......"
Kesmo on the side was about to say something, but was stopped by Ruiz.
He didn't say anything, just stepped forward and gently removed Usmo's hat.
In an instant, Ali on the side couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart.
On that old face, a large scar swam from the left side of his forehead to the lower right corner of his mouth, during which one of Kersmo's eyes had turned white and looked unusable.
"As you can see, magic heals wounds quickly, but the scars it leaves behind and his eyes can't do anything about it...... A few days ago, the Scarlet Elite raided the War College's liaison station in Bilgewater, and all the staff inside were spared, except for Kesmo...... But he still lost an eye...... How is this explained. ”
……
"I'm sorry, but I was too reckless. ”
Lines said, slowly sitting down and bowing his head.
"Okay...... Looks like you know that something did happen to us...... Then you should be more interested in looking at what's next. ”
With that, Rhyz said as he returned the hat to Lines.
"It's a real problem...... To be honest, the entire Valoran League has already been searched, and to be honest, there are not many places where you can be completely hidden, and the Darius spies are rushing towards Bilgewater as if they are crazy...... I really don't know if you killed his own brother or something. ”
"I don't know about that kind of thing, I just need to find a quiet place to get out of the limelight. ”
Lines said, and lightly nodded at Ali who was in a daze, and then pointed to Evie behind her.
"Take them both with you. ”
"To put it mildly, do you have anything to do with them?"
"Friends only...... One of them was entrusted by her master. ”
Lines sighed.
Ali is easy to explain that she wants to be by her side, and the thing on Evie is also reassuring.
"Okay...... And so it was...... After some research by the Alliance, it was decided that in a few days, someone would send you to Piltover - but this time it was not without conditions. ”
"Huh?"
Raines heard Ryze's words and looked up, concentrating.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the equivalent exchange makes Lines's heart more steady.
"Actually...... To tell you the truth, a serious economic crisis broke out in Piltover, due to an improper operation, Piltover's inventory of runestones and magic crystals was seriously consumed, and the inhabitants inside panicked and frantically exchanged their currency for runestones, but there were not enough reserves in its treasury......"
"The economic crisis, it looks like there's something like this in the world. ”
Hadias listened to Reze's narration and sighed boredly.
"In fact, to tell the truth, a small currency is more powerful than a sword, and sometimes, with the ingenuity of one person, the whole country can be miserable, and even civil strife will break out and be destroyed, so ...... I don't think you'd better get involved in this business. ”
Lines nodded at Hadias' words, and he felt a little unreliable when he heard the news.
"I know what you're trying to say, I didn't mean to let you regulate the economy there, these things will naturally be dealt with, and what you have to do is to act as a bodyguard and protect an important person to go to Piltover...... When he arrives, everything will be on track, and you will be able to hide there. “
A city that has erupted in an economic crisis...... As turbulent as it sounds, it doesn't seem to be easy for Darius' people to spot.
"How?"
"What's how. ”
Hadias feigned stupidity.
"Please, you are the master, you can stop what I say, but I can't do anything. ”
……
This guy ......
Lines knew that if Hadias played dumb and couldn't communicate with him, he simply left it aside.
"Okay...... I agreed, but I have a question, since you can teleport magic, why don't you just teleport that important person to Piltover?"
Lines asked.
"No...... There's a lot of magic on that guy, and when he's not around, I need to take his place...... Really, the councillor is really calling. ”
With that, Ruiz stood up, picked up the water on the side, and drank it down.
"Alright, time is pressing, if you agree, we can leave for the War College now, and if we happen to happen, we can leave tonight in the evening......"
