Chapter 24: The Yodelers
When I woke up, I felt that my body was constantly shaking, in addition to the noisy crowd, there was also the sound of whirring wind and splashing water, is this on a boat? I opened my eyes, and immediately the harsh sunlight flashed, and I quickly sat up with my hands in the shade.
The blue sky and the sea meet in the distance, and we are sailing towards the crack of the heavenly sea, yes, I am on a large ship with the hull of the legendary Noah's Ark, which feels like an island if it is not constantly rocking.
"When you finally woke up, I said you were still alive, and they almost threw you overboard."
At this time, I noticed that there was a little fat man next to me who had been staring at me, she was short in stature, her light blue complexion was very rare, her eyes were big and round, and her ears were pointed and she had two big ponytails, which was very cute, and I recognized it at a sight - Bobby!
"Thank you, where is this place?"
"This is the Sea of Watch, we are heading from Demacia to Ionia, this morning at dawn someone found you on the deck, at first thought it was a drunkard who drank too much and slept here, but no matter how you screamed, I couldn't wake up, and then I touched your chest, and found that my heart was no longer beating, and I quickly reported it to the various cabins to come and claim it, but no one knew you, so the captain ordered you to be thrown into the sea, but I stopped you, because I could sense your breath of life, and they all laughed at me, but I didn't care, noYou're awake! My name is Bobby, what about you? β
"Zhao Xin, thank you again."
Poppy was very good at talking and explained everything in one breath, I don't know what LeBlanc did and why I was on Demacia's boat to Ionia, but she did let me go.
I don't know what happened to Darius, I remember that in the backstory their coup d'Γ©tat was successful, why did this happen? LeBlanc's actions in particular are even more puzzling, and it seems that not everything is going according to the script.
Full of questions and the aftermath of the catastrophe, the mood now is really similar to when I woke up in the gladiatorial arena, but this time I didn't die, and I didn't become someone else, I touched my waist and found that in addition to the spear next to me, the dagger that Fiona gave me was still there, which made me feel a lot more at ease.
"I was transferred here from the Immortal Fortress by a mage, and if it weren't for you, I think I'd have fed the sharks by now."
"Immortal fortress? The capital of Noxus, that's far enough! Now that we're almost in Ionia, if you want to go back, you'll have to go back to Demacia and cross the continent of Valoran, which is closer to Ionia. β
"I ...... I wanted to go back, but I didn't know how to defeat the mage. β
I really don't know what to do with LeBlan's methods, but I want to go back to Darius and discuss a solution with them, and then tell Riven that she must be worried about death if something so big happens.
"Mage? What's your name, tell me about it, maybe I can help you. β
I looked at Bobby, and she certainly wasn't lying to me with her innocent look, but how could such a little yodeler help me? She must have never even heard of LeBlan's name.
"Her name is LeBlanc, and she's an old witch who has lived for hundreds of years."
"Oh? Lived for hundreds of years? Poppy seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while said, "We can go to Kree when we get to Noxus, he must know him." β
"Clay knows LeBlanc?" I was amazed, according to LeBlanc, no one had seen her for hundreds of years, how did CrΓ©e know her? Poppy's next words surprised me even more:
"It seems that you know Kree, I heard the old man of the clan say that he fought in the Noxus region about eight hundred years ago, there was no Noxus at that time, there was only an independent city-state, and later he helped the first Noxian emperor establish an empire, so I guess he must know about LeBlanc, as for whether I remember it or not, I can't guarantee it."
"Kree lived to be more than eight hundred years old?"
"No, according to your calculations, he should have lived for about three thousand years."
Three thousand years old! I was so surprised, I couldn't believe that there were people who could live so long? Even yodelers are exaggerated, right? In my previous world, this was almost the entire process of human civilization.
"But what's the use of knowing LeBlanc?"
I gave Bobby a rough idea of the previous fight, and besides Clay, plus me and Darius, Draven, Svein, Tyrone, and several other elite didn't win, can you find a weak spot by recognizing her?
"It's useless to recognize her, your chances are still slim, but it's different with me!"
Bobby's words surprised me a little, since Kree is so powerful, I don't think Bobby is bad as a yodeler: "Do you have a way to deal with LeBlan?" β
"Uh...... I can't help it, but the guy I'm looking for has a way, he's a true hero, and any magic is vulnerable to him, as long as you can help me find him, we can ask him for help! β
"Who are you looking for?"
"I said that he is a real hero, it should be the great hero of Demacia, I originally went to Demacia to look for him, but I never found him, and finally I asked the old man of the Tabor family to help me divination, and he said that the great hero has been wandering and is going to Ionia."
A real hero? The hero she's looking for can't be me, right? Forget it, I'm very powerless in the face of magic, where can I be called a real hero?
"How do we find out? Are there any characteristics? Ionia is not a small place, and we can't find it in our lifetime if we look for it, well, my whole life. By the way, how old are you, can't you be thousands of years old? "I look at her cute appearance, it's hard to imagine that old.
"No, no, I'm still young, just over six hundred years old, much younger than Kree. It's not difficult to find this big hero, because he is righteous and brave, where there is black magic, he will appear there, let's just inquire about the relevant things. β
I can't afford to spit out her age, I'm a little familiar with it, it seems that Bobby's backstory mentions it, but I can't remember it exactly, forget it, it's not reliable anyway, let's focus on reality.
"Are yodelers so powerful?"
"Powerful? If you mean to be powerful, I think we're still very strong, but we don't have to be serious with other races, time will kill them, we don't have to do it ourselves. β
Leaving everything to time is really a capricious answer, but the reproduction of life is endless, and since yodelers are so strong, why not conquer the world? I voiced my doubts.
Hearing this, Poppy looked at me with strange eyes: "Why conquer the world?" Don't think that all yodelers are like Kree, he's a freak, and he doesn't want to conquer the world, he just likes to fight, and there is no war in our world, that's why he's so nostalgic for this side. β
"Your world? Don't you live in the Land of Runeterra? β
"I can't tell you this, the old people of the clan won't let us reveal anything about our hometown, you just need to know that the yodelers live for their own interests."
"And what are your interests?"
"My interest? I don't know very well, but now I want to fulfill my friend's last wish to give his warhammer to a real hero. I value this friendship very much, and that's probably what interests me. β
Living for your own interests? No war? What kind of world is that? I can't imagine that if I had the pleasure of going there, it would be an unforgettable experience.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that when I was hit by a car in the original world, in addition to my relatives, a blue face appeared in my mind, that is, Tristana.
At the time, I didn't know what was going on, and the experiences I had since come to this world made me have no time to think about whether it had something to do with her Yodel identity.
"By the way, Bobby, do you know Tristana? Like you, you're a yodeler. β
"Tristana? I don't know, I think it's a child who has just formed in recent years, I haven't been back for more than 300 years, and I don't know if there are any new members. β
"Molding?"
"Huh? Didn't I tell you? Unlike you, we were not born of our parents, but were born of "the will of yodel". β
I talked to Bobbi until the evening, and she told me a lot about the yodelers in addition to her hometown, which completely changed my previous beliefs.
To put it simply, yodelers are naturally formed under certain conditions, like the embodiment of some kind of "interest", and the phenomena and conditions that led to their birth are called "yodel's will", and until now, no one knows what the yodel's will is.
Although they are the embodiment of interest, yodelers are also flesh and blood, sometimes they will not give birth to one for hundreds or thousands of years, but once they appear, they will basically not die, and they are all powerful.
According to Poppy, the oldest yodeler is almost the same age as the Runeterras, and he can't remember how old he is.
It's a pity that she doesn't know about Tristana, and if she has the opportunity to meet her in the future, she will probably unravel the mystery of my coming into this world.
