This year's New Year in Piltover was a bit of a desert.

Compared with the previous lively Evolution Day, the New Year in Picheng is more like a "carnival of outsiders", and the truly natives of Picheng will not care about this day.

As a result, Ezreal's uncle never returned home at all.

Zoe said goodbye some time ago, leaving only a small note saying that he was in a hurry, and since then, Ezreal has been a little uneasy - unfortunately, before Ezreal can prepare everything and skip class to find Zoe, his uncle completed the ignition plan.

With Lemuel's supervision, it was also difficult for Ezreal to skip class.

And today's Chinese New Year's Eve is a very valuable opportunity for Ezreal.

After all, the academy is on vacation today, but my uncle stayed in the laboratory for some reason...... This is simply the best time for Ezreal to skip school, as long as Ezreal can flow out of Leather City, then no matter how prestigious his uncle Lemir is, there will be no way to catch this bastard who skipped school and left home.

So, Ezreal started preparing early.

The first is the preparation of funds.

Buying reliable supplies was not an easy task, as many speculators focused on the question of how to make money from the reckless explorers.

As a result, many people with lofty ideals bought fakes when they were shopping for supplies, and then their expedition collapsed without warning.

After all...... Encountering a little equipment trouble at a critical moment is completely fatal.

Naturally, the great explorer Ezreal would not have made such a mistake.

In order to make her adventure go smoothly, Ezreal found the most reliable Chali Explorer supply store in Phi City, and used her hard-earned private money to buy herself the perfect expedition suit.

(Of course, a large part of the reason Ezreal has so much money now is that when he was with Zoe, he didn't have much to spend...... ）

Holding a huge package, Ezreal emptied his wallet and finally left the Chali Expedition Material Store.

"Let me see—gloves, wrist pads, knee pads, elbow pads, goggles, conditioner, compressed dry food, emergency utility water filter, water film, hex energy crystal, semi-automatic climbing staff, dense bandana, Shurima-style desert robes......"

In short, everything is in place.

Tucking all his gear into his large special backpack, Ezreal runs away from home under the moonlight and embarks on a journey to Shurima to find his parents and his girlfriend.

……………………

It is a hassle for outsiders to enter Phi City, and even if they have complete identification documents, they can only move around the docks.

And on the other hand, at least at night, it is not so easy for the people of Picheng to leave.

Although as a commercial city, Picheng will not engage in curfews and other activities, but because of the previous attacks of the Void, the entire city has been heavily guarded recently.

In this case, there is no problem in wanting to leave during the day, but leaving at night, especially on Chinese New Year's Eve, I am afraid that I will inevitably face inquiries from the guards.

And Ezreal, who had no transport ready and planned to hitchhike all the way, had a hard time getting through their cordon.

As a result, Ezreal simply didn't plan to leave Leather City normally.

Carrying a large package on his back, Ezreal ran lightly to the vicinity of the Leather City Pier.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the once bustling and crowded dock is exceptionally quiet, and there are currently no passenger ships docked here, only dozens of huge cargo ships quietly moored in the port.

The sailors on the ship either get together to eat and drink each other, or sit on the deck and look sad, who can stay on the ship and stay in a foreign land on this Chinese New Year's Eve, who can not have a story?

If it was usual, Ezreal would have racked his brains to learn about their stories, and then wrote them down in his diary as important material.

But leaving by boat is the most important thing now, and although Ezreal is a bit too lively, he is still more reliable when it comes to business.

In this way, Ezreal took his backpack and lurked near the spearhead for a long time.

After looking at the draft, age, and provenance of the ship, Ezreal considered it and finally set his sights on a cargo ship bound for Nashram.

I don't know exactly what cargo this ship is pulling, but using Nash Lame as the first battle of my expedition is simply amazing!

After all, it's a city with a history of 10,000 years!

As long as you can get there, there will always be enough information for Nash Lamei!

With that in mind, Ezreal made a quick way from the underside of the gangway to the inside of the ship, opened a window, and leaped forward.

As a result, in the next second, an indescribable stench suddenly hit!

Although Ezreal was unprepared to avoid the surprise attack, he was still covered in this stench - when he looked closely, he saw that this was a warehouse specially used to store salted fish!

"That's bad luck." Before he could roll his eyes, Ezreal quickly lost consciousness, "It's a shame now." ”
