Chapter 64: The Explorer

Previous Chapter

The female mage's sudden move took Darius by surprise, as there was no one else around him except the two of them in his perception. He followed the female mage's gaze, and there was nothing unusual there.

But after all this contact for so long, he still trusted Althea's judgment.

The female mage would not make a sound for no reason, he quickly picked up the sword, and jumped all the muscles of his body tightly, like a cheetah ready to hunt, carefully observing the surrounding movements.

"Come out, or I'm welcome."

Although she said this, the movements of her hands were not slow at all, and surging arcane energy erupted from in front of her, condensing into countless tiny rays in the air, sending a dense attack like raindrops towards the clearing.

With the attack of these spell rays, an unfamiliar figure finally appeared in Darius's perception.

It was a man who looked quite young, or even a big boy, with an extremely handsome face and blond hair that shone brightly in the sun, but Darius knew that judging a person's age by his appearance could not come up with the right answer, especially since this man was extremely easy to block Althea's spells.

The surging arcane energy disappeared strangely the moment it came to him, as if it had been absorbed by him, and the female mage who couldn't figure out his details didn't act rashly, and Darius certainly wouldn't rush forward with his sword recklessly.

The only good news is that, judging by his appearance, this guy is not from the caravan, and the identities of the two of them are not in danger of being exposed for the time being. So two people don't need to think about the matter of extinguishing their mouths.

The young man looked unhappy, frowned tightly and said, "Is it okay to stop?" That's why I don't like you Noxian guys, it's such an exaggerated attack if you don't agree with each other, if it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid it's time to go to see the god of the underworld. I said, don't you Noxians know what friendliness is? ”

The female mage smiled disdainfully: "Foreigner? Instead of accusing us of not being kind, reflect on why you yourself sneaky and hide and eavesdrop on other people's conversations. ”

"You're wrong, ma'am, I stayed here until you came, but I hid myself when I saw you coming, not with the intention of eavesdropping on your conversation." This young man's temper was unexpectedly good, and after being attacked by Orthea, he didn't get too angry, and explained in a calm tone.

"Then why are you hiding? Don't you think you're acting suspiciously? ”

"It's because when I see you Noxians, I'm sure I'll encounter all kinds of trouble, so I simply hid it, but I didn't know that I would still get into trouble." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, "You Noxians have such a bad temper. ”

Darius asked with interest, "You are not from this kingdom, where did you come from?" ”

The young man turned his attention to Darius's face and said with some displeasure, "Have you forgotten the most basic etiquette before asking others?" ”

Darius was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a little laughter: "I'm Darius from the Tamur Chamber of Commerce, and our caravan is camped not far away, where are you from?" Why is it here? ”

"Well, since you asked politely, I have nothing to hide, my name is Ezreal, I am from the northern city-state of Piltover, and I am an explorer by profession."

No wonder he wants to hide himself, Piltover is located in the north of the continent of Valoran, and is a magical technology city that prides itself on its magic and technological abilities, this city-state is an ally of Demacia, the sworn enemy of Noxus, so theoretically, it is also an enemy of Noxus.

In particular, the city-state is also in a hostile relationship with Noxus' ally Zaun, so his actions are justified.

Darius and Althea looked at each other, and then understood what each other meant from each other's eyes, since it was Mrs. Piltworth, there was no need to continue to fight him, so Darius also put away his weapons.

Explorer?

The young man called himself an explorer, which aroused the curiosity of Darius, and the two terms adventurer and explorer, although only slightly different, were essentially two completely different concepts.

Most of the self-proclaimed adventurers are mercenaries who make a living taking on various tasks, as well as nightingales, thieves and wanderers who wander on the edge of the city and in the dark, and the word adventure also reveals their living conditions.

But explorers are different, explorers mostly refer to those who are specifically looking for ancient ruins and lost lands, most of them are also archaeologists and historians, most of the explorers are pure idealists, and they are powerful guys, because there are countless traps and unknown dangerous monsters in the ancient ruins, ordinary people can't enter those ruins at all, and they just die in vain.

"My job and ideal is to go to every corner of Valoran, but your Noxus border management did not give me an entry permit, so I usually try not to appear in the sight of ordinary people, wandering alone in a deserted place, how do I know that I met you, but then again, this lady, your Olympiad skills are really good, ordinary people can't see through my disguise."

Althea was still a little unhappy, but Ezreal's explanation was reasonable, and she couldn't force the opponent to admit her mistake without knowing the opponent's strength, "Do you want to say that your Olympiad is better?" After all, I didn't notice you at first. ”

The young man waved his hand, "No, no, no, ma'am, you completely misunderstood, I didn't mean that, my understanding and mastery of the Olympiad is completely out of the blessing of the bloodline, etc., it doesn't seem too necessary to say this." ”

"You say you're members of the caravan? Since it's a caravan, then my identity as a stowaway shouldn't bother you, just walk through the wasteland alone, the things I brought are almost exhausted, and I just need to replenish supplies, can I go to your caravan's camp to have a look? I promise you that you will make a profit on my business. ”

Darius didn't know how much he had heard the conversation with Althea, and he offered to go to the caravan camp, which made Darius's heart move, but since he was Piltover's man, he shouldn't be talking nonsense.

"Yes, we are businessmen, and there is no reason to refuse guests, but there is one thing I want to tell you first."

Ezreal looked at Darius and said seriously, "Tell me. ”

"Please keep my companion a secret about being a spellcaster, we don't want anyone else to know about it."

The explorer looked at Althea, this request was not excessive, so he nodded, "No problem, everyone has secrets, I, as an outsider, can understand and accept." (To be continued.) )
