"To tell you the truth, boy, if you had listened to me, you would have become the demon king of the Megatron side by now, controlling the entire continent. “

On the streets of Bilgewater, on the way to the Noxus junction station, Lines carefully avoided the noisy neighborhoods and headed for the tavern of Usmo.

But...... The magic sword in his hand didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong today, and he turned on the housewife mode, and began to babble and make people annoyed.

"For example, the time in Freljord, if you listen to me talk about that little girl called Lux, you can definitely kill that guy called Tedamir in Freljord, and then I will drink his blood, kill that ice witch, gain ancient powers, and finally ......"

"Shut up!"

Lines said to Hadias as he leaned against the wall and looked at the two gangs of people who had killed Red-Eyed outside.

"Oh...... Do you think you're hanging? I'm sorry, my mouth is on my body, I can say whatever I want......"

"As you said last time, if I can meet Trist, you'll listen to me for everything. ”

Call.

Climbing over a low wall and looking at the increasingly familiar streetscape around him, Lane knew that he only needed to cross two more blocks to find the Noxus and War College liaison station and get in touch with the people of the War College.

"Oh...... Did I say it, okay, okay, I did say it, but you have to figure it out, I'm the magic sword, alas, the magic sword is the kind of guy who burns, kills, loots, and does all kinds of evil, in short, it is the embodiment of the evil of the world, and even if such a guy breaks his promise, it's just a small meaning, you know what I mean, so you ...... Woowoo"

Poof!

Inserting Hadias, who was still chattering, into the half-eaten can of fish in the alley for a long time and pulling it out again, Lines continued on his way without saying a word.

He knew what the most useful thing to do was against this guy.

"Vomit...... Boy, count you ruthless, this taste...... The taste is simply ...... Oh......"

Bilgewater's specialty, non-fish canning, is made from a strange fish from the deep sea, fermented and then mixed with other spices into a tiny tin can.

Not only is it inexpensive, but it's also easy to preserve, and every pirate ship stocks up on it before it goes to sea.

Although it didn't taste bad, the disadvantage of this can was that the smell was so strong that if you opened a can in the hold, you would be beaten by other sailors.

Lines finally understands that what he saw in the library of the War College turned out to be really useful, and at least you could have an effective way to shut up someone you hated.

Knowledge is power.

"Alright, alright...... Boy, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss...... Damn, this can is simply anti-human...... No, Anti-Demon Sword, tell me about your current relationship with that Lux. “

"You owe so much, no one can protect you. ”

Lines said.

"Shut up, besides, every action of mine is in your eyes, do you need to ask me?"

"Huh...... It's just a discussion, and besides, you can't escape these questions even if you run away from them. ”

"Now I'm on the run, and I don't want to bother Lux. ”

"Really, what about after you fled? Although you became an employee of the War College, you still have an unclear relationship with Katerina and Svein, and the academy higher-ups will not trust you, and most importantly, Demacia will not hand over her palm jewel to you. ”

“……”

Lines didn't speak, he cautiously walked around the corner, taking a closer look at the long street ahead.

Well...... The smell of blood is strong, and it seems that there has been a bloody battle during the day.

But there should be no one now.

"Speak, you have to know, a person no, a sword floats in the void for tens of thousands of years before finding someone to speak, if no one speaks, I will go crazy. ”

"What can you do if you say it, what can you do if you don't say it?"

"It's not good, but there are some things that can never be solved without saying it...... For example, in front. ”

With Hadias finished, Lines turned his head and looked at Usmo's tavern.

It is now in ruins.

That's right, the original wooden house is now a little char, and the ashes inside are mixed with wine bottles and all sorts of debris, and in some places there are serious collapses – yes, the basement is a mess too.

It's ruined here.

Lines felt his hands and feet cold, as if he had been targeted by a snake.

Crafto, as a correspondent for Noxus and the War College, must have two brushes of his own, and the cook next to him was obviously trained, and the ordinary gang members were no match for them at all.

Then now there are only two possibilities.

Or, it was discovered by the people of Darius.

Or, it was the War College itself that scrapped this point of contact.

If it's the first one, then you're in extreme danger right now.

The Scarlet Assassin is likely to find himself.

Maybe they've already pried open the tavern door.

Thinking of this, Lines turned around, preparing to walk towards the tavern's defenses.

At this moment, from the alley behind it, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps.

Is it a passerby, or is it a gang member who has fled?

Lines was now a frightened bird, and in his eyes, any anomaly was worth being wary of.

The footsteps now are no exception.

Thump!

Suddenly, footsteps in the alley stopped, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Leaning against the wall, Lines looked down the alley and found a man in a pale blue camouflage suit and a Demacia-style helmet lying on the ground, motionless.

Is it a trap?

"Probably not, I think you should go over and check it out. ”

Hadias said, his tone suspicious as if he was holding back a smile.

"It's not like you're saying it, you're generally indifferent to this kind of thing. ”

Lines gripped Hadias tightly, and at least ten possibilities of a sneak attack had flashed through his mind, but all of them were denied.

The Scarlet Elite is silent and swarming, and they won't engage in these bells and whistles.

"Trust me, if you don't go, you'll regret it. ”

Hadias said with a smile.

"Trust me......"

"I hope you don't let me find out you're playing tricks on me. ”

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Lines cautiously walked into the alley.

The alleys are open on both sides, and the surrounding houses are so high that it's hard to jump on.

If you go in by yourself, I'm afraid you will enter the urn.

But......

Thinking about Hadias's words, Lines stepped forward quickly, walked up to the figure, and helped him up.

The moment he saw her face, Lines froze.
