Chapter 33: The Fountain of Agelessness
"Both of these men are traitors to the Sect of Equilibrium! He used to be my senior brother, but then he killed the master and betrayed the sect, Alanta is our senior sister, although I also left the sect, but I don't hate her in my heart, I was taken care of by her when I was a child, so I am still very grateful to her. ”
I thought it was no drama when I heard the front, but the latter words made me see a turning point, and I stated the facts to Shen: "Actually, the robbery killed Aranta, and Alanta left a daughter. ”
Shen was shocked when he heard this: "What! You said that Senior Sister Aranta was robbed and killed by that bastard?! Then he looked at Akali: "Then this kid ......?"
"Yes, she is Aranta's daughter, her name is Akali, I saved her, I'm sorry I didn't explain it directly, because I was afraid that you would be bad for her, but now it seems that this is not the case." I don't have much to hide at this point.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, on the contrary, I'm very grateful to you for saving my senior sister's daughter, if you can, please let me raise her."
Without waiting for me to say, Shen took this job first, I couldn't ask for it, so humble and polite, affectionate and righteous, so that I could rest assured that Akali would be handed over to him, Akali would not have an opinion on this, as long as she could learn the skill, she didn't care where she was.
With this out of the way, it's time to get down to business: find the real hero, and then go and help Darius defeat LeBlanc and take control of Noxus, I don't want to give up halfway, not to mention that Darius treats me well.
Poppy hasn't talked much about finding heroes since she's been with me, and it seems that she's just looking for friendship, which is the will she was born with.
Along the way, we didn't hear stories about the demon slaying heroes, but Bobbi was righteous and brave, and he drew his sword to help when he saw injustice.
I'm more and more sure that the hero Oron is talking about is herself, but she doesn't realize it, and after so many years of fighting with dark mages, she must know a lot of ways to crack the dark magic, so I just need to take her with me.
But where did she go?
By the way, I promised Witt to help Lux find the water of immortality, so I have to take advantage of the time to do this, and I must know some secrets of the water of agelessness.
When I asked Shen about Ageless Water, he looked surprised: "Why are you looking for that kind of thing?" Isn't that what women use to keep their faces? ”
"I was entrusted by a friend, and I asked Master Shen for advice."
"Don't dare to be, the water of immortality is a special kind of water produced at the source of the Navoli River, on the highest peak in the southwest direction here, where the terrain is steep and guarded by an old man with a strange temper, it is said that he is very difficult to speak, and is not greedy for money and beauty, and few people succeed in getting their hands on it, and as for the effect of the water of immortality, I really do not know."
"Thanks, I'm here with a friend, if she comes to me, please tell her where I'm going."
After explaining the explanation, I set off, the peak where the old water is located is very easy to find, you can see it towering in the distance, I tightened my clothes and walked upstream along the river.
Some places are steep, but not difficult to climb, except for the lush vegetation that hinders them, there are no predators.
When I was about to reach the summit, a relatively flat clearing appeared in front of me, and there were several sheep foraging in the clearing, they were not afraid of people, and it seemed that someone was grazing.
Sure enough, not long after I walked, I found a tall old man who looked very leisurely riding on a ram.
"Hello uncle, are you the one who takes care of the old water?"
I don't know if the old man heard, he didn't answer me, I asked carefully again, and then he raised his eyelids and looked me up and down:
"Few people come here as polite as you, but your politeness has saved you, I don't talk nonsense with you, if you want to be old, just wrestle with the ram under me and win it, then whatever you want!"
I looked at the ram, which was almost larger than a buffalo, with dark brown wool curled like a blanket, and two exaggerated horns spiraling forward, as if to declare inviolable majesty.
Wrestling is not the same as gladiatorial fighting, the man-eating bear I killed in the gladiatorial arena was bigger than this ram, and it was a ferocious carnivore, but I didn't have to fight it, I just killed it with a weapon.
Wrestling means I'm going to have to fight hard, and if I fail, I'm likely to be crushed by it.
But if you don't agree, you can only use force to force you, and naturally I won't do this kind of banditry, so after agreeing, I am still relatively confident in my strength.
The old man rolled over and got off the sheep and drew a line behind me and the ram, and whoever pushed the opponent across the line first would win, and I held the ram's horns in both hands and waited for him to start pushing forward with a loud shout.
I struck first, pushed it back a big step with all my might, and I won only half a step away, but I couldn't push it at all.
The ram came to his senses and began to push forward, and I bent over to stop it, and it was so deadlocked, no one could go forward, and no one would retreat.
I didn't expect this guy to be so energetic, I couldn't press it forward, so I started to press its head hard, hoping to push it down, but I couldn't hold it down even if I blushed.
After a stalemate for a while, I came up with an idea, no one is smart after all, when I felt that the strength of both sides was about to reach its peak, I suddenly took a step back, and the ram stood unsteadily and fell directly to its knees, at this time I pushed forward forcefully and pushed it directly out of the line.
"That's not a foul, is it, uncle?"
"Despicable! But be careful of the back. ”
I saw the ram stand up and hit me again, this time it was not a wrestling, it was obviously enraged by my actions just now, I quickly dodged, but I was too strong just now and moved slowly, and when it turned around and hit me again, I couldn't dodge, so I had to hold the horn again.
"Uncle, tell it to stop, why is it suddenly like going crazy." I saw the ram's brown eyes turn red.
"It's useless, you've provoked it, and now it's useless for anyone to say it, you can only subdue it."
That being said, but this sheep is very strange, like steel and cast iron, and I can subdue it, and the old man has no intention of helping me,
At this time, the ram was approaching, and the horns were almost touching my chest, and I saw that its eyes were blood-red, as if it had been under some magic, and suddenly, a trace of fear flashed in the ram's eyes, and it fell to its knees again.
This time it knelt down, not that I subdued it, nor did I use a trick to make it fall, but that it actually fell to its knees, and the blood red in its eyes was gone.
The old man was very stunned, and also knelt on the ground with the ram: "It turns out that you are a shepherd, please forgive me for my ignorance and mistakes." ”.
Am I a shepherd? Isn't this old man a shepherd? I didn't know what he was talking about, so I quickly helped him up: "Get up, what shepherd?" Why can't I understand? ”
"You don't know?"
I shook my head, I really didn't know, so the old man told me in detail, and I was amazed.
