Somewhere in the shadows on the outskirts of the Summoner's Canyon, a faint light flickered from time to time. But soon, the light turned into a teleportation circle and imprinted on the ground. Immediately after, a slight energy fluctuation emanated from the circle, and two figures appeared on the circle. These two people are Ye Feng and Fiona.

Ye Feng looked at the canyon in front of him, as if there was a faint energy barrier in front of him. Through the energy barrier, you can vaguely see the entrance to the deep canyon, and it is pitch black. Ye Feng looked at Fiona and asked, "Are you sure you want to go in?" ”

Fiona squinted at Ye Feng and looked into the canyon. She said, "If you're scared, go back, this is not the place for you." Her voice was cold and emotionless, as if Ye Feng had nothing to do with her.

Ye Feng pursed his lips and said unconvinced: "Who said that, I'm just worried that something will happen to you." ”

Fiona's eyes flickered when Ye Feng said the word worried, and then she regained her composure, and even her voice was no longer so cold. She said softly: "My swordsmanship is so exquisite, how can there be anything." ”

Before she could finish speaking, Fiona stepped towards the barrier. Ye Feng didn't say much, and followed closely behind her. The two of them disappeared into the Summoner's Canyon.

……

The fog of the night has gradually lifted, and the new moon has come to an end. In the arena of the War College, the continuous energy fluctuations of the teleportation array quickly alarmed the vast majority of students and mentors except for the Senate. They gathered in front of the teleportation array, hesitating to go in and check it out.

At this moment, Archmage Ruiz appeared in front of the teleportation array. He stretched out his right hand, and a blue light shot directly into the teleportation array, as if sensing something.

Soon, Ruiz withdrew his right hand, looked around at the people around him, and said, "This teleportation array is the magic circle that leads to the outer edge of the Summoner's Canyon, although I don't know who did it, but I still want to ask if anyone is willing to go with me to explore the Summoner's Canyon?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. For the image that appeared in the image crystal before, everyone was apprehensive, and this level of danger was definitely comparable to the attack on Shadow Island. Therefore, after a long time, no one stood up to respond to Ruiz.

Ruiz sighed as she looked at the hesitant people around her. If the catastrophe is coming, I am afraid that these people will be the first to die in the catastrophe.

No longer pinning his hopes on the summoners present, Ruiz turned and stepped into the teleportation array. He decided to go for himself to find out if the demons beneath the Summoner's Canyon had really broken the seal.

After Ruiz made his way to the Summoner's Rift, Catelyn and Xavier arrived in the arena. The two of them didn't find Ryze in the arena, and when they asked the others, they found out that Ryze had gone to the Summoner's Rift alone.

This worries the two of them, and they decide to head to the Summoner's Rift. But when the two of them stepped into the teleportation array, the energy fluctuations of the teleportation array dissipated directly, and the lines of the empty circle were engraved on the ground, without a trace of light. This made the two even more worried, what if the circle was a trap set by Baron Nash?

"This circle is just running out of energy, and it will be recharged every once in a while, and the next time it will be opened will not be until tonight." A hearty voice came from the entrance of the arena.

Everyone in the arena looked at the door, and a man in blue slowly walked towards the circle.

Sivir and Caitlin opened their mouths slightly, rather surprised, this person was none other than their acquaintance - Wuxin. However, the two of them didn't see Ye Feng and Fiona coming, and they were also puzzled.

Xiwei nodded at Wuxin and asked, "Wuxin, why didn't they come Ye Feng?" ”

Wuxin didn't answer Sivir directly, but walked up to the circle, crouched down and felt something carefully.

After a long time, he stood up, frowned, and said, "This magic circle still has the breath of Fiona and Ye Feng, they should have gone to the Summoner's Canyon in advance, this is trouble!" ”

Sivir and Caitlyn covered their mouths with their small hands, shocked by this. The abilities of Ruiz's demigods may not necessarily protect themselves, and Fiona and Ye Feng are probably very dangerous!

Wuxin was a little irritated by this, and he spread his hands helplessly: "Now we can only take one step at a time, and wait until we go together in the evening." ”

"Wait, can we go with you tonight?" Just when the three of them were troubled, a sonorous but pleasant voice came into their ears.

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound, and the five of Ionia came to the circle at some point.

"We want to go and see it too, we're worried about Lord Soraka." Irelia said earnestly. She and the three behind her looked at the three of them with determined eyes.

Wuxin nodded, although he didn't watch the game, he had heard from other people that the seal of the summoner Baron Nash in the canyon might have been broken, and Soraka sacrificed himself to save the other nine.

But I just don't know if the charge of the teleportation array can support the teleportation of so many people at once. If you can only send three people a day, it will be faster for so many people to rush directly to the Summoner's Canyon. I can't manage so much now, and if I can go to one more person, there will be more hope. The premise is that these people have a certain strength.

Seeing that she had no intention of agreeing, Irelia bowed down and clasped her fists and said, "In that case, we'll see you in the evening." With that, Irelia winked at the other three and turned to leave.

Caitlyn called out to the departing group and said to Irelia, "Your name is Irelia, isn't it?" ”

Although Irelia was puzzled, she nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what is wrong with you?" ”

Caitlin raised her eyebrows and smiled, patted her chest with her left hand, swirled her right wrist, and said, "Can't I look for you if it's okay?" I would like to invite you to my place and make friends. ”

Irelia glanced at the three beside her, wanting to see what they thought. As a result, all three shrugged their shoulders, saying that Irelia decided for herself and didn't have to think about them.

Irelia turned to Caitlyn and said, "I can't ask for a friendship with the famous Valoran-known Phi City policewoman." ”

"You're joking, how can I be so famous, this way, I have a lot to say to you." Caitlyn smiled. As she spoke, she led Irelia towards the outside of the arena.

On the way, the two were very silent. It wasn't until the arena disappeared behind her that Catelyn spoke, "Irelia, I heard you had an argument with Darius during the game?" ”

Irelia's expression shuddered when she heard this, but she was quickly disguised. She said calmly, "No, I just don't like to be too soft on the people of Noxus." ”

Catelyn squinted at Irelia and said to herself, "Don't underestimate the police's investigative skills, I guess he must have told you about your missing brother before you would be furious, right?" ”

Irelia's face was slightly worse, and she replied in a cold voice, "Since you know, why bother asking and sting me?" ”

Catelyn didn't look nervous at Irelia's displeasure, and she chuckled a few times.

Reining her smile, Caitlyn said, "I think you misunderstood me, I think Darius must have said that your brother was killed by him or by his men, right?" Otherwise you wouldn't be so angry and go berserk, but I want to say that what Darius said is false. ”

Catelyn's words sent a shudder to Irelia. Her brother didn't die?

Caitlin had expected this to happen to Irelia, and she said proudly, "You have really been deceived, according to our Piltover tip, when your brother arrived in Demacia, Darius and his army had already sailed to Ionia, so what he said to provoke you was just to fight you with all your strength, he was a combative man by nature." ”

Irelia was stunned by the sudden news, and her mind went blank. It took a long time for her to come to her senses, and she fixed her eyes and looked ahead, and a room had appeared in front of her.

This is where Caitlyn lives, she thought to herself. But since my brother wasn't killed by Darius's men, where would he go? Will there be any other dangers? Thinking about it, Irelia became worried again.

Caitlyn interrupted Irelia's thoughts and said, "Arrived, why don't you go in and sit?" ”

Irelia looked at Catelyn gratefully, and the news that Catelyn had brought had rekindled her hope. Then she followed Caitlin into the house, and the two sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting happily, sharing some interesting things that had happened in the past, and the relationship took a step further.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Caitlin stood up happily and said, "What a coincidence that this came, you just came to play with me, and the good things I called someone to send me have arrived, and you must experience it later!" ”

Intrigued by this, Irelia smiled and motioned for Catelyn to open the door first. Without further ado, Caitlyn trotted to the door and opened the door.

Outside the door, a man in a peaked cap and a suspender work denim suit holds a slip and a pen.

When he saw Caitlyn come out, he asked, "Is it Miss Caitlin?" This is your bathtub, water heater, sprinkler, Hexal Sun unlimited energy appliances, please sign for it. ”

Caitlyn nodded slightly, took the slip and pen, and signed in style. Then she looked at the three men in uniform behind the man and said, "You move your things to the bathroom, and by the way, the barrel in the bathroom will be handed over to you to dispose of." ”

The staff had to begin carrying the various appliances that were placed outside the door, and Catelyn returned to Irelia to continue their conversation.

Irelia looked curiously at the men in strange costumes and asked, "Catelyn, what were you talking about?" What to sign for what appliances? ”

The corners of Caitlin's mouth went up, and she said proudly, "This is our technology product from Piltover, these are everyday appliances, not the same as yours, but the functions are very convenient, fast, and comfortable!" ”

Irelia listened to Caitlyn's words blankly, although she knew that Piltover and Zaun were the most special places in Valoran, and there were many strange things, but after all, she had not experienced them firsthand, so it was still difficult to understand.

Catelyn didn't laugh at Irelia's expression, and said gently, "I'll show you a little bit later." ”

While Caitlyn was talking to Irelia, several of the staff had already finished carrying everything and gently closed the door so as not to disturb them.

Caitlin took Irelia's hand and walked towards the bathroom. He smiled as he walked: "You can take a shower with me, you are quite tired, you shouldn't have had a good rest since you came to the War College, right?" ”

Irelia excused herself, "It's not good, I have a bathroom in my house." ”

Caitlin didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to smile and said, "It's rare that this time, you can experience how our Piltover bathroom is different from yours!" ”

She was not afraid that Irelia would not agree, so she took Irelia's hand and went into the bathroom.

Irelia was dumbfounded as soon as she entered the bathroom, the modern bathroom in front of her made her feel weird. She didn't know what the bathtub looked like a barrel, and she didn't know what the sprinklers and Hexsolar Infinite Energy were for.

Catelyn took in Irelia's expression and smiled charmingly, "I'll show you how to use these things." ”

Irelia hummed, looked at the bathroom in front of her, and pricked up her ears to study. Caitlin came to the bathtub and held the edge of the tub with her right hand, half-sitting on the edge of the tub. She shook her head, threw the long hair on her chest behind her, and said: "This is the bathtub, you just need to press the red button in front of the bathtub, and the system will automatically fill the hot water, and the green button next to it is cold water, you can adjust the water temperature according to your needs." ”

Caitlyn couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Irelia as a good student, and then continued: "The silver circle in the middle of the tub is the sink, when you finish soaking, you can directly uncover it, and the water will automatically flow into the ground. ”

Caitlyn paused, and after seeing that Irelia had no other questions, she continued, "This is the showerhead, the shower, and the water temperature is still red and green buttons; This is the Hex Sun Infinite Energy Appliance that can autonomously convert sunlight into electric heat energy from this world during the day, and charge the appliances in this bathroom, which can be used for about a year at a time, and when the energy is not enough, it will convert energy again, so you don't have to worry about it stopping working, okay, everything that should be said has been said, you take a shower by yourself first, and I will wait for you in the living room. Without waiting for Irelia to react, Caitlyn exited the bathroom and closed the door.

Irelia looked at the bathroom utensils, her mind recalling Caitlin's words. She couldn't help but sigh, and her resolute eyes became complicated. Maybe I'm really tired, as Caitlin said, so why don't I just relax here and go to the challenges of the evening.

Just as Irelia was about to take off her armor, Catelyn's voice came from outside the bathroom door: "I almost forgot, you didn't have any clothes to change after taking a shower, if you don't dislike it, wear my clothes for the time being." Caitlin's voice was soft and pleasant.

When Irelia heard this, she remembered that she had no clothes to change. Without hesitation, she opened the bathroom door and took Caitlyn's clothes in and placed them on the clothes rack.

When she was ready, Irelia turned on the hot water in the tub and began to slowly shed the heavy armor from her body.

……

Irelia lifted her right foot and tapped the hot water in the tub, a ripple spreading out in all directions until it calmed down again. Perhaps the water was a little hot, and Irelia's toes shrank slightly, and the plates of her feet bent inward, forming subtle folds at the center of her feet.

Moments later, Irelia stepped her right foot into the tub, despite the scorching temperature. She hissed and stepped her left foot into the tub. It was as if she had slipped and fallen, and her whole body thudded and she was completely submerged in the water. A pair of pink jade feet were slightly cocked, revealing the water, and placed on the other side of the bathtub, while her head rested on the edge of the bathtub behind her, and her frowning brow was also soothed.

Gradually, the entire room was filled with mist, and a hazy stain of water appeared on Irelia's forehead. The watery eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then slowly opened. I don't know if it was her own tears, or if the moisture from the bathroom soaked into her eyes, and her eyes were splashing, and from time to time she reflected the light.

Those who knew Irelia well would have been shocked to see this. The posture that is diametrically opposed to the usual, like that weak woman, is pitiful. Soon, a small sobbing sound sounded in the bathroom, and it finally became clear that the light in her eyes was proof of her crying.

Irelia pulled her legs back into the water and sat up slightly. She folded her hands around her knees, bent over, resting her head on her knees, and the mist around her eyes became thicker. She resisted the urge to cry and kept herself from making a sound. Her mind began to mess up, recalling the times when she and her brother were children.

She kept commanding herself not to think about it, but the more she did it, the more her ambivalence made her sink into childhood memories. Irelia smiled bitterly, both at the joy of her childhood and at the helplessness of her nowamortization of having nowhere to find her brother.

This smile, mixed with happiness and pain, is slightly sweet and slightly astringent, making people happy and hateful.

She looked up at the ceiling in a daze, and remembered the time when her brother had left and she had fought alone in Presidium with the Sword of Inheritance in hand. Thinking about it, she said to herself, "Is the inspiration of that day that you are thinking about me thousands of miles away, brother?" ”

Irelia shook her head vigorously, not wanting to immerse herself in grief, but to little avail. She looked at the bathroom door and remembered that Caitlin had told her to take this opportunity to relax.

Relaxing? But when I relax, what will my brother do? Could he be starving somewhere right now? Thinking of this, Irelia immediately stood up straight, and the bathtub made a huge splash, some of which was also sprinkled on the ground. Due to the mist in the bathroom, only Irelia's jade body could be faintly seen looming under the mist.

The noise in the bathroom startled Caitlin, who had been standing outside the bathroom door, half-leaning against the wall. She opened her eyes slightly, squinted at the bathroom door, and looked calmly ahead.

Caitlyn said leisurely: "If you feel that you can't relax, take a shower, it's the shower I told you, you can use it yourself." She sighed, closed her eyes again, and rested against the wall.

Irelia heard Caitlyn's voice outside the door and temporarily stopped thinking about her brother. She walked over to what Caitlin called a sprinkler and adjusted the button the way Caitlin gave her, and soon the sprinkler with its dense holes squirted water.

The water was just the right temperature, and Irelia bathed in the water that came out of the sprinklers. A strange sensation spread through her body, and she had never bathed like this before. This peculiar feeling is like being rained.

However, it is a little different from the rain, which brings cold and pain, but this shower is a warm feeling that starts from the head and spreads throughout the body.

At this time, she wanted to cry, she raised her head, and her cheeks were facing the impact of the water, which stimulated her to gasp for breath. Finally, under the impact of the water on her facial senses, the last wall inside her was also broken. She burst into tears and couldn't tell whether it was tears or shower water, slid across her face and poured it all over her body.

Irelia felt the pressure in her body, and with tears and cries, completely released under the cover of the shower water. The mountain that had been pressing her since her brother was gone could finally be put aside for a while.

She bowed her body, her legs bent, and sat on her knees, baptized by the water. The sobs were undisguised outside the bathroom, and she cried out the door, "Thank you, Caitlin. ”

Then Irelia propped her right hand on the floor, held her right wrist with her left hand, and said in a voice that only she could hear, "I've never been strong, brother." ”

Caitlin, who had been standing by the wall outside the door, listened to the crying in the bathroom, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and said to herself, "Enjoy this short moment of silence." ”

……
