Afterword Chapter A landscape that never appeared
[Tyrone? Place of Originγ
She shrunk back, surrounded by the bars of iron cages, and through the cold metal railings, there were ugly faces. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What a despicable bunch of humans.
In the towns of Ionia, the best goods are often sold not in the bazaar, but in taverns run by the city's chamber of commerce, which can not only be used to distinguish the goods from the customer, but more importantly, the chamber of commerce can also make a lot of money on drinks.
Like this tavern she's taken to now.
The hunter who had brought her here was fat-headed, big-eared, and was selling her white fur to a few interested customers around him.
"Such a beautiful demon fox. Isn't it too wasteful to buy skinned clothes? Wouldn't it be better to buy them as slave girls? An aristocratic old man looked at her in the cage and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Huh? Man! This is a demon fox, aren't you afraid of being squeezed into a human? Besides, this itself is a monster that harms people's lives, and it is also a scourge to stay. But the fur of this demon fox is a unique material in the world! The fat hunter said.
"But that's too expensive, isn't it? This demon fox is already half-humanoid, and the fur that can be peeled off is only nine tails. The most beloved part of the tanner is the fluff on the fox's lower abdomen, which is also the most profitable. So the fur of this demon fox, no matter how rare it is, is not very useful, so do you think the price is ......? "A tall man with monkey cheeks in a sharp beak bargains.
"It can't be any lower." The hunter insisted, "This is not a mink or a bobcat, this time the prey is rare in the world, and it took a lot of effort and risk to catch it, and the price I gave was already the lowest." β
She crossed her arms and looked through the gaps between the bars of the cages, staring boredly at the humans outside, with ugly faces that were clever in order to take advantage of herself.
This feeling, the feeling of being a cargo, as if one's fate is completely dominated by these guys.
In fact, escaping from them is too easy. It's just a pre-hunting game for her. Hunting too monotonously can also be tiresome, isn't it?
The thin man seemed very interested, although he kept picking on the eggs and trying to keep the price down. But the fat hunter was sure that he would buy it, and he just didn't relax.
In the corner, a figure suddenly stood up.
From the very beginning she thought him was strange, and had just sat there drinking, without asking for any merchandise and nothing for sale.
Who would put up with the high price of alcohol offered by the Chamber of Commerce (as a necessity for admission) and simply choose to have a drink here?
He wore a cloak and his face was hidden in the shadow cast by the hood, which should have been a very low-key outfit, but the one on his body was quite eye-catching.
The strange material is dyed with a steely color and texture, and the folds on the cloak look like blades, which makes people feel cold.
He strode in the direction of her cage.
"I bought it." Under the cloak, the short words were cold and direct, not at all the tone of doing business.
It seems to be an order, and the sense of command is only faint, because that tone is a kind of indifference.
The chill of indifference to everything.
"First... Sir, your bid? The fat hunter was stunned by this man's aura for a long time, but he still asked with a smile on his face.
"With your life." It's still the same tone, cold, without a trace of temperature.
"It's... This gentleman, you... Are you kidding? A smile forced a smile on Orion's fat-headed cheeks, his fat face twisted, and his expression was more ugly than crying.
As soon as the man raised his hand, a cold light shot out, and the knife almost slashed against the face of the hunter, causing the fat man's legs to tremble.
"What? Inadequate? The cold voice asked again, like a poisonous snake climbing up its neck.
"Enough, enough, now she's yours," said Orion, hurrying, dropping the key to the cage and retreating in horror. He knew too well that even if he was well-known among the hunters in the vicinity of the area, the fur business was quite controlled.
But in front of this unkind man, everything is meaningless, and his life is just an existence that can be easily judged by the other party when he raises his hand.
This man was an Assassin.
Ahri was amused by the way the guy had fled the tavern, and the Assassin in front of him used the key to open the cage that locked her.
"Now, you're free." He said, his lips lightly opened, and he couldn't hear a hint of tone.
"Thank you for saving me." She said coquettishly, stepping out of the cage, the elegance and charm in her steps were natural.
The cheeks under the hood gradually cleared up as she approached, a handsome but expressionless face.
"Mr. Assassin is so handsome." She said, her voice was still soft and charming, but the other party was unmoved.
He turned around, opened the door, and said lightly: "Don't be arrested again in the future." β
Then he disappeared into the Ionian night.
She looked at the man's vanishing figure, and was slightly stunned, and then she suddenly chased after him in a hurry, but the man's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Although in a sense, this guy did ruin her dinner, the feeling in her heart was indescribably warm.
Seems like it's the first time, right?
- It seems that for the first time, someone is willing to stand up and save her. After all, she is such a demon fox that feeds on human spirits, a monster that harms people.
The man who saved her was called Tyrone.
It wasn't until at the War College that she finally learned his name.
But that's another story.
β¦β¦
After turning the corner of the street, Tyrone leaned back against the wall and looked back to see Ahri looking at the door, but he did not choose to show up. He played with the blade in his hand for a while, as if talking to himself, as if he were talking to someone:
"The woman who helped save you this time is a double clearance, I don't like to owe anyone, Reginald." The frenzy in his eyes flashed, "One day, I will beat you fairly." β
[Ezreal? Ideal Country]
She held the blonde boy beside her tightly, as if the slightest relaxation of her fingers would drown her in the crowd.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"It is said that the demon fox was brought from the east!"
"That's a monster that sucks in spirits! Be careful, or you'll be swept away! It is said that many people have been killed! β
"How could such a monster appear in the War College? What the hell are those guys in the council doing? β
She felt like she was about to squeeze into the arms of the blonde boy. The boy smiled awkwardly and led her through the crowd of onlookers. The feeling is familiar.
She still vividly remembers the day she met the blonde boy, who still wandered in the woods, like every day, doing nothing, enjoying the sparkling sunlight that shone from between the leaves.
Between the mottled light and shadow, there is a strange beauty.
This guy's breath suddenly broke in, and she couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect that she had been "entrenched" in this forest for so long, and there would be a guy who didn't want to die to send her to the door by herself.
"Hey, please...... Pamper me. "The eyes are like silk, seductive, and there is a touching shyness in the charm.
In this world, how many people can resist her enchanting magic?
However, the blonde boy was surprised at first, and then showed a look of relief. "Phew, I've finally found you." He laughed, as clean as the clear sky that day.
Find me?
ββWhat an unfamiliar term?
The world avoids her, so how can anyone look for her? Moreover, in the eyes of human beings, there will always be only two types of alien races, the races that can be enslaved and are called "partners" with dignity, and the other that are not driven by human slavery and are enemies of humans in order to survive.
Before she could be surprised, the young man grabbed her wrist directly, and the force on the palm of his hand was so firm that it struck her heart.
She was stunned.
"What are you going to do?" The voice is soft and soft.
"Come with me."
I wanted to ask why, but I was softly replaced by this sentence. "Where are you going?"
Because of his determined appearance, people can't refuse.
"Come with me to the War College. But promise me that I won't hurt anyone again, and I promise that the guys at the War College will help you find a way to become human. β
"Really?" The desire to become a human being is a poison that every fox can't quit.
"Of course."
"So, who are you?"
"My name is Ezreal, and I'm an explorer!"
The boy's smile was faint and fresh, like mint grass on the riverside in summer.
In a flash, she was already standing on the platform of the War College Square, facing the thousands of summoners who were studying or working here, and the blonde boy grabbed her wrist and introduced to everyone:
"Please be quiet, this beautiful lady beside me is a new mage assassin to the War Academy, Ahri, the nine-tailed demon fox from Ionia! Starting today, she will be one of the defenders of the righteous land and fight for League of Legends! β
There were bursts of cheers from the audience, and she greeted everyone very shyly, and that shyness was mixed with a natural charm that was enough to make everyone crazy.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular!" The blonde boy laughed. "Looks like everyone likes you very much!"
"Really? That...... Will Brother Izawa stay with me all the time? β
"Huh?" The question stunned him, and he scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "How so? You will slowly adjust to life here. I'm an explorer, so I'm going to go all over the world alone! β
The panic of that moment was like an excuse to force Yan to say......
She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
"Woo, does Brother Izawa hate me?"
"Hey, don't cry..."
During the night, Ezreal sat at his desk, fiddling with the letter, the handwriting was still clear and powerful, but he didn't know where the writer was.
"To my old friend Ezreal:
If you haven't heard from me within a month of the end of the war between Ionia and Noxus, then I've started a new journey. So please put an end to your bullshit adventure for a while, go to the jungles of southern Ionia, find the nine-tailed demon fox, take her to the War College, and tell the council to help her find a way to transform into a human.
If I do this, those guys in the council will definitely pester me. Long live freedom.
Another: The treasure orb of the nine-tailed demon fox, both in terms of material and magic power, is very peculiar, and it is a magic weapon that can directly use the power of life spirit. I think it's mostly related to Athena's Lost Cup of Life, and while I'm not sure either, I hope you keep her safe and don't let Noxus find out.
Reginad Ashram (not called a weak chicken). β
"That little fox, it's really difficult!" He pouted and exhaled, not bothering to read this guy's letter again, so he folded the letter a few times and folded it into a paper airplane.
"Die! Reginald, you bastard! I'll clean up the mess for you every time! He said hatefully, and threw the folded paper airplane through the window.
The paper airplane swirled and fell, igniting a bright fire in mid-air, and then turning into ashes in the wind.
[Sona? Ariaγ
It turns out that the so-called glamour is only a short-term thing.
She still remembers the feeling of being in the limelight when she first joined League of Legends, and for a while became the new favorite of summoners competing to buy contracts.
Later, I realized that every hero would receive this kind of courtesy when they first appeared, and the arena would not limit the abilities of new joiners too much at the beginning - this was of course a means of attracting money, and when the earnings were almost complete, and new members replaced those former stars, they would start to limit their abilities.
Limit.
Such a mild word can be used to mean the most cruel of things. Because the desertion after the glamour may be the cruelest thing, right?
So it slowly became unpopular.
Even if it is a flame, when it blooms, it is as cold as water.
After all, people always like to relish new things.
But this girl always seems so calm.
"Her name is Sona. It's also a big beauty! That's what Ezreal told Ahri when he met the woman.
Sona.
It seems like I've heard a name somewhere, but I've never seen it before.
This woman makes people's eyes shine after looking at it, her facial features are delicate, and she is quite unworldly. He has long light green hair and a long ponytail. The thin clothes give people a sense of lightness, and there is always a faint smile on the face, pure and beautiful like a flower. That quiet temperament seems to be incompatible with this noisy world.
Her gaze continued downward, and then she finally understood the pun on the "big beauty" in Ezreal's mouth.
A pair of proud breasts, supporting the towering chest line on the fairy-like light clothes.
No wonder so many people like it. The appearance is pure and quiet, but he has such a hot figure.
The girl saw each other for the first time, so she secretly compared each other's "sizes" with her gaze, as is customary, and a pair of pointed ears quickly drooped - dwarfed.
There was a hint of vinegar-smelling disgust in my heart.
"My name is Ahri." She said, politely holding out a hand.
The woman named Sona still kept that quiet smile, shook hands with her, but never said a word.
"Hey, are you so reluctant to talk to a demon fox like me?"
Humans are really a bunch of self-proclaimed noble guys.
Ahri said unhappily that although Ezreal had taught Ahri about human affairs, she still often spoke out, which was really embarrassing.
The smile on Saana's face was broken, and her expression turned out to be a little flustered, and she opened her mouth to look at Ezreal.
Ahri seemed vaguely aware of something, but she wasn't sure, so she looked at Ezreal as well.
"Well, she can't speak, she was born with aphonia, and she can't be cured."
"I see... I'm so sorry just now..."She apologized with a pouting and hurriedly took her hand. Sana smiled softly and shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't care.
I didn't expect such a tragic fate to befall such a beautiful girl.
Ahri's big eyes looked at her sympathetically.
A girl is such a creature that may have been jealous just now, and after a moment she would be overflowing with sympathy, and she couldn't help but want to take care of her.
It's an amazing kind of creature.
"However, Sana's piano skills are the best of Valoran's, and she can communicate with her thoughts through the sound of the piano." Ezreal continued to introduce her.
"Really? I want to listen, I want to listen. She shook Sana's arm with great interest, and coquettishly sprinkled.
The sound of the piano suddenly summoned her back to reality.
Up to now, it's been a long time since I came to the War College, and I've met a lot of new friends: the big fat barrel who likes to burp a lot, the short mummy Amumu who cries every day, and the little cloth bear who pulls the corner of other people's clothes all day long and asks, "Have you seen my little bear?" Little Annie.
Of course, the sensation and attention of the first arrival at the War College have also dissipated.
Lonely, but I also have a little more leisure, I can sit on the soft grass on the hillside with my good friend Sana for a picnic like now.
"Ahri, what's wrong?" She heard the sound of thought flowing through the melody, and Sana was looking at her bruised ankle with concern.
"It's nothing, I've been trying out the new design of that group of guys for my idol singer style these days. Walking in high heels is so torturous! β
She straightened her white legs and pulled the leggings up slightly, trying to cover the bruises left by the stumbled.
Sana's fingertips suddenly changed, and she played a tune. This is the first time she has heard this song, the notes are soothing and firm, and the quiet melody makes people unconsciously put away the cluttered mind.
But when she listened, she burst into tears.
Frightened, Sana quickly stopped playing, played with a few piano notes and hurriedly ended, and asked with a voice of thought, "Ahri, what's wrong with you?" Why... Crying? β
"I... I do not know... But suddenly I was so sad..."She lowered her head, and she couldn't stop her tears.
But this song is supposed to be comforting, how can the melody used for healing make people sad?
"Sister Sona...... This tune...... Result...... What's your name? Half-choking, Ahri asked.
"Aria of Fortitude."
Determination...... Aria?
[Old man? Unknown]
Clear skies cover the entire city.
The large swaths seem to belong to the color of the glass.
She gently climbed the tallest tower of the city and sat on the top of the tower overlooking the quiet world and time.
It couldn't have been easier for her.
The laws of physics and natural or supernatural obstacles never stopped her.
Even in the heavily guarded War College Library, the enchantment carefully arranged by the great magicians seemed to her like drawing a white line on the floor with chalk.
A ridiculous line that can be easily crossed.
There's no place in the world that she can't reach - unless... It was an unknown place that no one knew.
But how could that kind of place exist? If no one knows or hears of it, and even the most ethereal legend has never touched it, what difference does it make to not exist?
She heard laughter from below, like an updraft, hovering over the city.
- Everyone, the heroes who fight in League of Legends on a daily basis, are partying in the city and partying to the fullest.
For what?
The original motivation has dissolved the outline, in short, as long as everyone is together.
The War College competes with the League of Legends it has brought to the world, and it has long been engraved with its mark on the world.
Athletic, fair, transcendence.
Even its founders could not have imagined that the League of Legends, an organization originally designed to replace Valoran's relentless war through violence that would not cause casualties, could now become a link between the city-states.
They communicate with each other in constant battle, and they are friends and foes, even if they are supposed to be divided by their own countries, even ...... Enemy love.
She saw Caterina and Galen, leaning together, laughing happily. One is the daughter of the missing general in Noxus, and the other is a model for Demacia's soldiers, who belong to two completely different worlds, but are attracted to each other's fighting skills in the arena of League of Legends.
This couple's relationship has shocked the world, and people have been criticizing it, but it has never been able to cool down the heat of this relationship.
Love is such a wonderful thing.
She held her cheeks, and not far away she could see the engagement ceremony of Ezreal and Lux, the magical girl known as Demacia's radiance, taking place in the open air.
A blonde adventure boy, a blonde magical girl. The child will also have blonde hair. It looks like a pretty good match.
It turns out that explorers who call the world home will eventually settle down one day, it just depends on whether they have met a scenery worthy of his lifelong stop.
And in the dimly lit night of the tavern, Tyrone, the cold assassin who rescued her, was looking for Irelia to be alone, a little embarrassed. The Will of the Blade and the Shadow of the Blade are indeed quite a coincidence.
and Sister Suona, who also played with Kutch, the pilot who flew the plane, but the small flying machine couldn't squeeze two people. Kutch hugged her sideways, hovering steadily over the city, or swooping down, deliberately making Sana laugh, sometimes covering her face in fear, and screaming silently.
And then there are the dwarfs who are called yodelers. Lulu pulls Xiaofa and flies on a broomstick, like to emphasize that she is a demon, but Xiaofa, who was born short and funny, tries to hold on to the hat that is about to be thrown off.
The raccoon-faced Teemo gives Tristana the prettiest mushroom he has ever grown, only to be rejected by him.
Of course, pretty mushrooms are always poisonous. The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, and mushrooms and women are two examples.
If Teemo didn't always like to hide somewhere, sneak up on people with blow arrows, and plant poison gas mushrooms that explode when he stepped on them, it would have been pretty cute.
But after a while, the two little ones were laughing and playing again.
Even in the field of machinery that is considered inanimate, the steam robot Britz and the clockwork spirit, one is a robot and the other is a puppet, and the two sapient machines that have spawned by accident are very harmonious and stay together, talking and laughing.
Really......
The world always came in pairs like this, and she was the only one who watched it all - a happiness that she could only look up to, no matter how high she climbed.
"Who's going to take me?" She pouted, bored.
"Of course it's me." The voice that suddenly appeared next to him was warm and elegant.
She turned around, and there was another person beside her, dressed in a white robe, with very fair skin, and a little delicate, looking at her with a wicked smile.
The feeling in my heart is a little annoying, a little shy, and ...... Warm.
Complicated emotions wrenched her heart for a while, she suddenly woke up, there was only a dark night left in front of her, she hugged the quilt, and let the soft realism fill herself.
The man in the dream......
It seems so familiar, it seems to be a very important person, it seems to be ...... I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it......
"Who is he? Why do you suddenly think of him? β
Thinking about it, I suddenly burst into tears.
Maybe there really is such an unknown place in the world, no one knows, even she, the nine-tailed demon fox, the nine-tailed demon fox who can shuttle through all spaces, can't get there.
And she knew that the man was there.
