Chapter 52: Ike (Part II)

This morning, after Zhou Yuan got up from the bed after practicing in the spirit world, he didn't see Artoria's figure.

"Huh? strange...... Kazan, did you see where Artoria went?"

Zhou Yuan asked suspiciously.

"I don't know...... I didn't leave until four o'clock in the morning, and I've been practicing with you since," Kazan replied, "and I can't keep my eyes on the outside." โ€

Knowing what Artoria was going to do, Kazan was naturally ready to cooperate.

"Really...... Do you know that Saya?"

In addition to Kazan, Zhou Yuan's better relationship should be the fourth ghost god, Frost Saya. It's just that these two have good tempers, and it's not easy for others to talk together.

"I don't know," Frost Saya shook his head, "I'm not like Kazan, I don't usually peek outside. โ€

Frost Saya is right, but Frost Saya still saw Artoria's thing.

Or rather, all the ghosts and gods saw it. The ghosts and gods have a free perspective within a certain range of Zhou Yuan's body, and the ghosts and gods can still see the things that Artoria has prepared.

If it was before, the ghosts and gods would have looked forward to this situation, and then told Zhou Yuan what had happenedโ€”after all, the ghosts themselves were also evil gods, but now they are different. There is only one ghost god and god official, Zhou Yuan, and they are almost finished with Zhou Yuan - so although the ghosts and gods say that they will not take the initiative to help Zhou Yuan, some things can also be achieved.

"There seems to be a piece of paper behind you. โ€

Kazan reminded, and then Zhou Yuan found a piece of parchment pressed under the book. The above content is in Artoria's language - but this does not affect Zhou Yuan's reading, as I said before, this ancient script can still be understood if you read it slowly.

Well...... It's like classical Chinese in English, and although the metaphor isn't very appropriate, it's understandable.

"Now a clue, trace, don't read it. โ€

If it really makes sense, Artoria's message probably feels like this.

What leads are being followed?

The most important thing right now is to wait here, for Ike's Time Curl Device to be built...... However, Artoria said that she had found a clue and went to pursue it.

If so...... There's only one thing, and it's more important to track it down than waiting for Ike to finish making the time device.

That's the news related to Black Claw.

"Anyway, let's go and guard Ike's lab first...... If the lab is destroyed, it's over. โ€

Zhou Yuan made such a decision.

"Hmm...... If it's just so far, it's going well," Artoria looked at Zhou Yuan, who was walking down the street in the direction of Ike's lab, "The key is what happened next......

If Artoria went to investigate, Zhou Yuan would have to stay where he was to guard Ike's lab. If Ike had been killed before the device had been assembled...... Then basically everything is over.

Although Ike's own time equipment made it extremely difficult to kill, it was only in this world after all. The higher-ups of Black Claw still have a way to kill this guy - so Zhou Yuan was dragged here by the state deliberately induced by Artoria.

"The next thing I have to do is create a situation where I can't afford to be seriously injured...... My mana level is A, and at this level, I can probably block the spell with just a few spells......"

Artoria muttered to herself.

"yes...... At least so far," a voice suddenly sounded, "I can't beat this guy head-on...... What's more, I'm not the top cadre anymore. โ€

At some point, four blue curtains of light rose from the ground, isolating Artoria from the curtain.

Wrong...... It's not the light curtains around the ground that are rising, but the surrounding scenes have been replaced, and this is Noxus!

Someone set fire to their own purple statue!

"This is ......!"

Artoria's face changed. This kind of thing is...... A barrier dedicated to Zhou Yuan! What's more serious is that this barrier itself can block space, and the connection between himself and the spell is directly cut off!

Without a steady supply of mana, Artoria's energy reserves plummeted.

If it were Artoria now, it would have been to the point where the Sword of Victory and Oath would disappear immediately after using the Sword of Victory and Oath. There was definitely no point in that - not to mention that this blue light curtain was not so much that it could be broken by a normal attack......

"Oops......"

Artoria sighed. What happened to me is secondary, the key is that this outburst of pretending to act is likely to become true...... And there is definitely no way to stop Zhou Yuan in time in this situation, this situation is terrible......

But...... Who the hell revealed the information that the two of us have here?Qingfeng was marked by Zhou Yuan with the evil of this world, and Zhou Yuan would know if he revealed the information, and Ember's words didn't look like they could still be connected with the black claw......

Artoria could already guess what was going to happen next. Ike's laboratory, and Artoria Zhou Yuan can only choose one or the other - if Zhou Yuan comes to save Artoria, Ike is likely to be finished, then Zhou Yuan will have no goal, and Zhou Yuan will not come to save himself...... I'll probably be taken to the Blackclaw headquarters.

"If you could...... Don't come to ......."

Artoria prayed silently.

But at this time, Zhou Yuan hadn't discovered this yet. Zhou Yuan himself didn't care much about the diversion of energy because he had too much energy, so he didn't notice that the spell had expired - now Zhou Yuan thought that he could recall Artoria at any time with the spell, and acted as a guard in front of Ike's laboratory: however, in fact, Zhou Yuan had lost the ability to summon Artoria.

In the corner half a block away from Zhou Yuan, a guy shrouded in black robes bent down and picked up a purple figurine from the ground.

"If you rely on this as bait...... Is it really possible, Angela?" the black-robed guy muttered to himself, "The purpose of this time is to keep that guy from going to the future...... It's useless to catch Artoria. โ€

"It's okay, he's definitely coming. Because that guy is that kind of character...... When it's time to kill Ike, one hit will kill, Angela. โ€

"Since you've said so...... I know. โ€
