"No, no, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of hurting you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoI'm not one of those ghost-seeking Noxian minions..."

Before a large number of brilliant spells were issued, the guy resting on the mountain wall stated his position with a rapid speech, and then casually threw the large kitchen knife he took from behind his back to the ground, and after a quick self-examination, he said with confidence: "Fortunately, it seems that the armor is strong enough." ”

"This... What do you call it, friend? And what are you talking about the Noxus minions? Perhaps reflexively, Ezreal first asked the guy who had suddenly appeared on the trail.

"Long story short, guys. My name is Jace, and I used to be the inventor of the City of Progress, but now, I'm the one trying to escape the fate of being a ghost under the knife of Noxus......"

"Oh~~ another nasty Picheng guy."

Jace, who had just finished introducing himself, looked at the guy who was making the sound, a typical Zaun street dress, who had briefly visited the streets of the City of Twisted Science, and understood that there were many people in that city who were hostile to Piltover on the other side of the Channel, believing that the progressive city of Zouan, who had abandoned them and left it to its own devices, should be responsible for the current bad situation in Zaun.

'Just an ignorant little kid. ’

As a self-controlled adult, Jace did not respond to Ike's unfriendly remarks, and when he took a serious look at the situation for the first time, he noticed that there were many beautiful ladies present.

So Jace, who was introducing himself, took his body off the mountain wall, briefly tidied up his clothes that did not look messy with his free right hand, pointed to the position behind the others, and asked in a polite tone, "Can you let me go now?" ”

"Mr. Jace, what do you mean by Noxian minions......"

Jana, who had withdrawn from the fighting state, asked the questions that everyone present was concerned about in a crisp tone that was completely different from the cold and mature voice before.

"喏~"

Jace, who had seized the opportunity to regain his strength, turned around and stretched out his hand to the other side of the big corner and gestured, "If we all continue to stand here and do not move, one minute...... Maybe I'll be able to meet them in a shorter time. ”

Because among the group of people blocking the passage, there are many who look like magicians or powerful mercenaries who are not easy to mess with, and Jace, who has been fighting alone to get rid of the Noxians, is not particularly anxious at this time.

He's looking forward to a good fight with the haunting Noxians, rather than fleeing like a rabbit all the way back to Piltover.

"Do you know how many pursuers there are, Mr. Jace?" After turning sideways around the big corner, he saw Lux with the sparse torch light below, and asked with a frown.

Leaning against the rock wall of the big corner, Jace replied without a figurative probe, "Just call me Jace, ma'am." Maybe you should ask these guys how long they were in line, and I was caught up by them at night, and I didn't have time to count them one by one. ”

"How long? Mr. Jace. "Cana doesn't need to be completely 'down to earth', she's almost half of her body dangling beyond the trail, following Lux back to the other side of the big corner.

Two questions from different voices seemed to remind Jace that there were many beautiful ladies here, and he quickly lowered his hand lying on the mountain wall, patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, and replied, "At first, it was at least half a mile, and now... Maybe a fifth shorter. ”

"That really scared me to death~"

Behind Jace, Ike sat leaning against the mountain wall with a mocking expression on his face, pun intending on his pun for the mockery of the Pichengkee who ran away in a panic but also tried to show his own strength.

Unfortunately, he was once again ignored by Jace because of his age, and the inventor from the City of Progress found that the beautiful magician lady under the cloak also seemed to be a little contemptuous of the pursuers on the mountain path, and had to solemnly remind: "A few ordinary soldiers are not enough, but there is a purple-skinned monster among them who cannot be killed, and it is the most tricky." ”

As if to confirm Jace's words, he lit a torch and pursued the Noxians within visual distance, when suddenly a terrible scream rang out.

"Meng~Duo~~ think you're a big girl~~~! Come~Mondo~~Here~~~! ”

The strange screams squeezed out of the chest echoed on the mountain road between the two sides, and the strange long sound was enough to stop the children's night crying.

Ike, who was sitting on the ground, heard this voice, his eyes lit up, and he learned the tone of the strange scream: "Zu~~~~ An, ha!" You should have walked away, Mondo. ”

Unlike Ike, who is Zuantong, who only knew who was coming by just listening to the voice, Ezreal, who was blocked by the tall Jace and couldn't see the situation clearly, had no choice but to spot a loophole and cast the 'Arcane Leap' spell and jumped onto the mountain path in front of Lux, only to see the menacing pursuers for the first time.

Looking at the few Noxian soldiers at the front of the mountain road, the torches were like shadows, and the 'explorer' who had just arrived at the head of the team rubbed his nose and sighed with emotion.

"Why does this scene sound familiar?"

"You've got what you've figured, Ize."

"Maybe we can give some light to these hard-working Noxians."

"Clever decision! Do you come first or do I come first? ”

"Well, ladies first."

As the rainbow light lit up in front of Lux, Ezreal, who was leaning sideways against the mountain wall behind him, started the mobilization of spell energy in advance with some nervousness.

In fact, he didn't plan to trouble Lux, and the effects of their spells were a bit repetitive and wasteful at a certain distance, but at the last moment, Ezreal decided to let Lux take the lead and cover his unreliable spells.

"Banish all the Shadows!"

After the temporarily floating Lux completed the spell charge, with a soft sound, the dim slope of the mountain road shone brightly, and the magnificent rainbow light that suddenly appeared in Cana's sight flashed, and the long-lost 'ultimate flash' once again dealt a heavy blow to the enemies within the attack range!

After the rainbow light flashed, it caused the illusion that the surrounding light became darker in the eyes of people, and Ezreal, who was standing still on the mountain road again, put his right hand on the 'Ice Vein Gauntlet' on his left arm and prayed silently, "Dear Gauntlet Boss, don't let me lose face in front of so many people......

Through the gap in the charge of Lux's spell, he could already see that at the corner of the mountain road, several heads were newly poked out, tall and short.

"Treasure...... and glory......" The 'explorer', who was trying to gather his mind with his eyes slightly closed, whispered the element that could most mobilize the power in his body, and then felt that the magic power accumulated in his left hand reached a certain critical point, and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and shouted a rather imposing declaration: "It's time to perform real technology!" ”

'Precise barrage'!

'Whew! ’

The wave of magical energy that shot out from the slope didn't make a sound, but everyone who saw this crescent-shaped golden energy shock wave around the corner automatically made up the friction sound in their minds that seemed to be cutting through the air.

After the double harvest of Lux and Ezreal, dozens of Noxian pursuers who spread on the slopes of the long mountain road have all fallen to the ground.

Except for a few lucky ones on the bends of the mountain road, the ground was littered with torches and the painful wails of dying soldiers.

The front of this chasing team was very quiet, leaving only the big man who was caught in the rainbow light and saw the opportunity quickly, flashed to the bend to avoid the ensuing 'precision barrage' blows, and was stunned, and there were no other soldiers on the ground who could continue to breathe.

"Wow~~ The lighting effect is really good."

It wasn't until Ike's lazy voice sounded that a few viewers who had seen Ezreal's trick for the first time came to their senses, and even Ahri, who had had an unpleasant encounter with him in the evening, had to admit that this guy did have a hand.

Jace, who wasn't very worried, was even more relieved at this time, he blew a whistle and said to the little man who turned his head next to him, "I also often light the way forward. But you have to know, little one, that I'm actually an inventor, and in some areas I'm really different from a magician. ”

Timo, who didn't quite understand the meaning of this, nodded, then poked his head out of Jace's leg again, and said to the 'explorer' who was standing on the mountain road: "Isele~~ I remember that you seemed to have said before, and you once used this trick to defeat Noxus's minions, right?" ”

"That's right! Of course. ”

Timo saw that Ezreal didn't understand what he meant, so he immediately reminded him: "Then you said that those who escaped will report what happened tonight?" If they find out......"

"Ahh Oops, let's catch up. After Timo Jr.'s reminder, Ezreal's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly beckoned his companions to pursue the enemy.

Except for Lux, who stayed behind to learn about Zaun from Jace, the other four chased the 'Explorer' to the deserters down the slope.

Around the big corner, Ike shouted to the burly guy who was very conspicuous among the deserters: "Meng~~~ Duo, come to me." Don't run away~~~"

"Mondo~ You can go wherever you want~~~~" Under the slope, Mondo's characteristic procrastination roar was heard from afar.

"Ha~So your brain isn't all bad~" Ike seemed happy that he had figured out another Zuan secret, and after making a casual joke, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction with the old and young in the group.

"Let's go, beauty~~ That's the ghost place we're going to, everyone is a heavenly lady full of superiority, but they don't even have the basic politeness when saying goodbye."

"Why don't you speak? Well, I hope we don't really just go all the way to that rude city, and besides, I don't have any gifts with me, so it's a bit of a bad thing to be empty-handed......"

"Ike, do you have any friends from Piltover?"

"Probably ......"

After a while, Jace, who was on the road alone, briefly briefed Lux who was left behind about what he knew about Zuan, and caught up with Ike and his party from behind, and after not planning to go with Zaun's street boys, he expressed his willingness to help Jana's mentor and the two researchers in their lives in Piltover, and then sped on.

It was only before leaving, Jace said to Ike in a deep voice, "Young man, I hope you can go to the City of Progress to see it for yourself, and stop slandering it with hearsay." ”

"I've been... And with its souvenirs, Pi Chengyan. ”

"You can call me Mr. Jace!"

"Okay Leather Guy."

In the face of Ike's extremely unfriendly attitude, Jace, who had tried his best to restrain himself, shook his head and turned around and strode away, thinking of the young Sullivan who was eager for change, he could only sigh with emotion.

……

A few days later, Ezreal and his men, who were about to leave the mountain corridor, were hiding in an excellent hiding place, discussing how to enter Zu'an City to find out the news.

They did their best in the pursuit that night, but they couldn't leave all the Noxians who had seen Ezreal and Lux shoot.

The big guy who was stupid and said his name was so difficult that as Jace said, it seemed that he would never die, and finally seized the opportunity to beat him violently, but let him see the hole and speed up to escape, and then soon appeared alive in the mountain road ahead.

Ahri even found a location with a favorable location and wanted to launch a 'spirit raid' to keep people, but he was almost hit by a large kitchen knife thrown by a stupid big man.

Fortunately, the demon fox was agile, and at the last moment he fine-tuned his posture, only to be scratched by the whistling kitchen knife, but he was still softened by the virus smeared on the knife, and let the strange man escape again.

At dawn, Mondo, who seemed to be anointed on the soles of his feet, completely disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, leaving several people who had used all their strength to chase after each other and were speechless for a long time.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, the adventure team must first select the right people to go into the city to find out the news, first, to find a way to pass through the mountain pass, and then to find out whether their whereabouts have been leaked by the stupid big guy.

Ezreal and the five of them sat around the stone platform to discuss their plans to infiltrate, and Ahri sat alone on a rock a little farther away with her long legs in her arms, glaring at the 'explorer'.

Entering human society for the first time, she was curious about everything and wanted to play with Gozuan, but Ezreal immediately refused because of the risk of exposing Ahri's tail.

Then Timo and Tristana, who were yodelers, were also excluded, their height was too obvious, especially the Noxians should have known in Bilgewater, and it was not a small risk to take the two of them into the city of Zaun if two yodelers joined the legation.

In the end, Ezreal turned his head to look at the angry demon fox who was staring at him uncomfortably, and after glancing at Lux, he decisively left the warrior monk Li Qing behind, and was regarded as the commander of the left-behind team, so that the other three people all obeyed the command of Master Li Qing.

The plan was decided, and the cloak that had been processed by Ezreal to look much more worn out was re-covered, and Lux, who had also undergone a simple disguise, followed the 'sloppy' 'explorer' and walked along the last stretch of the mountain road towards the city of Zu'an, which was shrouded in the 'cloud of technological poison' below.

After a period of relative silence, Ezreal, who was leading the way in front of him, turned around and whispered, "Lux......"

"Huh? What's the matter, Izza. ”

"You... Ever wondered what would happen after returning to Demacia? ”
