In summer and autumn, the afternoon sun in Zu'an City is not bad, although it does not bake the ground into layers of heat, but it is very irritating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's only been a day since Ezreal and his wife went to explore Zaun, but the rest of their companions waiting outside the city felt like a week—at least that was the feeling of Tristana, who was now hiding in the shadow of the rocks.

Unlike Bandel City, which has a mild summer, Zaun has a typical northern Valoran mountain climate, and the days are hot and dry, except when storms hit outside the strait.

This is not to mention, but what makes the yodelers even more uncomfortable is that Piltover, because of the more open terrain outside the city, can enjoy the cool monsoon between the Iron Ridge Mountains and the strait all summer, and Zaun has to have strong winds or thunderstorms to enjoy a little coolness due to the ring of mountains that surround the city.

Unfortunately, the sky has been clear lately—if you don't count the thick poisonous fog that always floats over Zaun.

In addition, the vegetation on the ring of mountains that surround Zu'an has been almost completely cut down by the black-hearted factory owners, making it even hotter in the summer when the sun is long exposed.

"Teemo~ I miss the stream on Sable Rock Mountain so much~" The little cannon girl who didn't have a good lunch because of the hot and dry weather, hid in a small shadow with the 'Boom' and couldn't stop complaining to her companions.

Leaning under the boulder where Tristana was sentry, Timo looked at the 'very active' demon fox and warrior monk on the small platform on the side, and raised his head to the little cannon girl and said, "But didn't you always complain at that time, the wet weather can easily shorten the life of the weapon?" ”

"The yodelers shouldn't come to a dry and hot place, so I guess there aren't our people under that poisonous fog."

"yes, I don't like it either. But we're soldiers, and if Isère and Lux decide to go, we'll have to do what they order. The cute Teemo understood what his companion was worried about, and he tried to reassure Tristana.

Hearing Timo's words, Tristana, who was on top of the stone, poked her head out of the shadows and said, "Execute the order?" I thought we were a team... Hmm, like friends? ”

"Maybe you could ask them?" The yodel scout turned his gaze to the platform overhead, only to find that Tristana, who was on guard, had deserted, and he had to remind the other party: "Hey~ Tristana, you should look outside, not at us." ”

"Don't be nervous about Teemo~~ There is nothing on this mountain except stones, I can see it when the Noxians walk ten miles away, you know that the archers are very observant~~~" The little cannon girl thought that her companion was making a little fuss, and she responded nonchalantly, but still twisted her head back cooperatively.

Under the stone, Timo muttered to himself, "So you shouldn't let the people of the Merlin Commando do the work of the scouts~~"

Suddenly, the rope ladder on the stone swayed rapidly in front of him, and Timo grabbed the rope ladder and asked nervously as he climbed, "Is there a situation?!" ”

"Quick! Come up, Teemo~"

Teemo, who didn't know what his companions were seeing, used all his strength to climb the stone platform with two normal human heights almost in the blink of an eye, worthy of the 'swift scout' who was about to join the most prestigious special forces in Bandle City.

On the boulder, Tristana, who was in charge of the sentry, was already lying in a corner, so Timo Jr. did not dare to slack off and crawled over.

As far as the eye can see, there are only two small figures in the distance on the mountain path below, but there is no trace of the imaginary Noxus patrol.

When Timo saw the figure on the mountain road moving cautiously, he said in disappointment: "It seems to be ...... down there." Isère them? ”

"That's right! That's them. Tristana, who was beside her, nodded affirmatively.

The return of the two who had gone into the city to investigate the situation meant that they might soon be leaving this hot and dry place, and Timo seemed to understand why the little cannon girl reacted so much.

He turned around and prepared to climb down the scorching stone platform, "Then I'll go and inform Master Li Qing, they should also rest for a while......

"Don't, Teemo! Wait a minute. ”

Teemo's shoulder was grabbed by Tristana, and he turned his head and asked strangely, "What are you doing, Tristana?" ”

"Don't you see? The two of them hold hands almost all the time? Xiao Paoniang's voice was full of excitement.

"Huh? Let me see...... It seems like yes. The Swift Scout, who was also not bad-eyed, took a closer look and saw that this was indeed the case, but he didn't think much of it: "They all have things on their backs." Isel is worried about Lux falling, right? ”

Timo's words were exchanged for Tristana's disdainful eyes, and then the cannon girl continued to whisper excitedly: "When I walked the mountain road at night before, I didn't see Ize so 'worried'? Can you stop being so sluggish? ”

"I didn't carry such a big bag back then~"

"Hey! That's not the point, Teemo! Ah, look, it's smooth enough now, right? Why do you have to hold it? Wow wow! And that stone, do you see! Izawa would rather jump from above! …… Ah, here they go again, they climb that low slope before they let go, and now they hold on again! ”

Tristana is like a ball game announcer, constantly excitedly replaying the actions of her two companions on the trail.

Next to him, little Timo, who was basically basking under the sun, whispered helplessly: "Tristana... I'm so hot~~~ Also, what should I do if my mushrooms are roasted? ”

"Don't worry, don't worry! Wait a little longer, wait for them to get closer, and help me pay attention to the look on their faces......"

"I ......"

However, Teemo was soon relieved, presumably realizing that the two of them were not far from the rest of his companions, and after climbing another low slope, Lux, blushing, deliberately avoided Ezreal's right hand.

Some of the 'explorers', who were immersed in that fluttering feeling, looked at the girl who looked strangely at the red apple: "What's wrong?" ”

After regaining her senses, Lux suddenly became afraid to look directly at her previous bold behavior, and the expression on her face became even more embarrassed, and she was suddenly speechless in the face of the fiery gaze of the 'explorer'.

So she could only stretch out her finger and point to the col that was not far away in front of her, and then tilted her head down the mountain as if she were looking at the scenery, trying to suppress the red tide on her face.

"Ah~~ Why did you arrive so soon......" Ezreal sighed with regret, and then stretched out his hands to Lux, who was standing on the mountain path without moving: "Give me what you have on your back!" Now you should not be afraid of being discovered by the patrol. ”

"Don't! No, uh... I mean, no, let's rest and get on with it. After regaining her senses, Lux suddenly realized that the appearance of each of them carrying a piece of luggage should have been seen by her companions on the hill.

If you go up for a while, and you find that the luggage is all on the 'explorer', it will be very difficult to explain it at that time.

'I hope that it will be Master Li Qing's turn to sentry on the mountain at this time. ’

Thinking of the sentry on the hill, Lux, whose face had just faded, felt the temperature of her face rush back again, anyway, it must not be Tristana......

Compared to Lux, Ezreal is complacent at the moment.

After some special training from Piltover's friend, he perfectly played several characteristics of chasing girls...... One of them, 'Thick-skinned' - no way, the other skills are a little harder for Ezreal right now.

When they avoided the sight of the patrol all the way, walked along a particularly difficult mountain road out of the city, and met many people who had to help each other to walk or climb the past and inadvertently hold hands together, he understood for the first time in his life what it was like to be 'electrocuted', and began to be cheeky and try to create conditions to hold the girl's hand.

What made Ezreal even more instructive was that in order to change into the costume of a ranger mage, Lux's white gloves that never left her hand in the past were also put into the leather bag on her waist with the delicate bracers she had removed.

In the subsequent trip, I picked up a big bargain 'explorer', and began to look around with bright eyes looking for possible 'difficulties and obstacles' on the road ahead, and always rushed in front willingly, walked quickly and then turned back and said gentlemanly: "Come, I'll help you." ”

Soon, Ezreal's small movements were noticed by the clever Lux, but for some reason, the girl didn't break the careful thoughts of 'Cheeky Izawa' at first.

As for the after...... It was the two of them who fell into that novel world, and they held each other for longer and longer, until they found that they were walking too fast, and they had suddenly returned to the meeting place.

After pausing for a moment on the trail, Lux finally walked forward behind Ezreal again.

When the col was already close in sight, on the rock where the sentry was arranged, Timo's small figure stood up and waved to them: "Hi~~~ Isère, Lux, you're back~~"

"All is it all right, Teemo?" Lux, who had put down her snack slightly, tried to maintain a normal tone in response to the yodelers' greetings.

"It's all good!"

Timo Jr. thought of Tristana, who had been left on top of the guard in advance, and then added in a whisper: "I think it should be all right......"

Turning the pile of rubbles at the mouth that blocked the view, Lux, who was no different from usual, saw the little cannon girl sitting there with the 'Rumble' in her arms, and she was about to say hello, but Tristana was more anxious and began to bombard the 'Explorer': "What are you carrying?" Ezawa~ How do you make Lux carry so much? Can't you help? ”

"Huh? Oh, and the backpack isn't heavy, it's full of clothes. I'm carrying too high on my back alone, and it's too easy to expose the target on the mountain path, so Izariel, who ...... turned into the mountain pass, was attracted by the demon fox and the warrior monk who were fighting, and replied casually that I didn't care very much.

"Oh~" Tristana's long voice, and the smile in her eyes that couldn't be concealed at all, made a bad feeling flash in the heart of Lux, who was walking behind.

Sure enough, the little cannon girl followed Ezreal's words and said again: "That's why you separate your clothes, so that if you encounter any small slopes and small bumps on the road, you can pull each other's hands and pass, right?" Pretty smart, Izawa boy! ”

"Uh...... What ......"

Ezreal didn't have a reason to tighten his heart, and then continued to play cheeky skills, wanting to resist to the end.

It's just that Lux, who was beside her, heard the aggravated word 'hand' in Tristana's words, and the two red glows flew up her cheeks uncontrollably.

Sure enough, it happened.

"Ah~yay~ You must be walking too fast, seeing that Lux is not lightly tired, her face is tired and red! Come in and sit down and rest for a while~" Seeing the red cloud on Lux's face, Tristana was 'scrambling' to get out of the way, but then she said to herself in a voice that the two people next to her could hear very clearly: "Ah~ strange! Why didn't Lux look so red just now? ”

At this moment, under the continuous attack of Tristana, Lux could no longer maintain a calm expression, and her face was completely red, from the slender neck to the base of her ears.

After glaring at Tristana, who was full of urgency, and then 'inadvertently' stepped on it hard, Ezreal, who was cheekily pretending not to understand, rushed into the col where the fight was busy without looking back.

"Hey~hey!"

The 'explorer', who was in severe pain in his feet, didn't know whether to hold his feet or chase people, and tried to greet Lux who rushed in with a very awkward voice.

On the side of the trail, Tristana squeezed her eyebrows and said, "Okay~ Izawa boy! Tell me, how did you get it? ”

"What are you talking about, Tristana?" Ezreal rubbed his nose and pretended to be crazy and stupid and refused to confess, and then sacrificed the Dafa of Transfer, and asked the little cannon girl with a gossip look on her face: "Why did Master Li Qing fight with Ahri?" I look at Ahri's start, it doesn't look like an ordinary fight, right? ”

"Izawa, I found that since you went back to Piltover once, the whole person has gone bad!" Finding that there was probably no way to get anything out of Ezreal's side, Tristana reluctantly turned around and looked at the warrior monk and demon fox who had to fight several times a day.

She carried the Rumble behind her, and then waved to Timo Jr., who was poking his head out of it, and introduced to the strange 'explorer': "They have been like this from time to time since yesterday, Ahri wants to know why Master Li Qing can remove her 'enchanting magic', and Master Li Qing is unwilling to deal with her, and then Ahri starts to do this. ”

"Aren't you going to stop it? Does she seem serious? ”

"I had it yesterday~ But it's useless, Ahri won't rest if he doesn't get an answer, and he will start to do it again after a while." Speaking of this, Xiao Pao Niang stopped and looked at it carefully for a while and then said: "It's almost ~ Ahri can't last long." ”

Ezreal seemed to be very concerned about the warrior monk's mood at this time, and he touched his nose and explored, "Why is Master Li Qing also messing around with that guy?" ”

Tristana, who had already taken a step towards Lux, heard the words of the 'explorer', and swept Ezreal who was thinking with a very speechless look and said, "What better way to temper Master Li Qing's Dao heart than the charm of the demon fox?" Ahri is a free and useful punching bag for the master. ”

"Your analysis is quite reasonable~ Then ...... you say"

"Yikes! Izawa boy, you're delaying me! Remember for me, huh! ”

Ezreal's question became more and more strange, and Tristana, who had been dragged in the pass of the mountain and had been unable to ask Lux for a long time, finally reacted, angrily waved her fist at the bad 'explorer', and ran away.

On the heads of the two, little Timo, who was standing guard in the shade of the stone platform, silently shed tears of grievance: "It's obviously not time for the changing of the guard yet......"
