In a small town in the east of Ionia is one of the most famous taverns on the island of Ionia, the Drunkard's Tavern.

This tavern is famous first because of the wine in the tavern, which is claimed to be the strongest wine in Ionia, and the people who come to the tavern every day to buy drunk people do not know how much.

The second is because the owner of this tavern is also a heavy drinker, and he has not spent a day in sobriety, except for drinking, his favorite thing is to fight people, but compared to winemaking and drinking, fighting is also not worth mentioning to him.

"Master, Ahri's feet are tired, can you touch them?" Ahri Jiao complained didily, and Chen Ziang responded lightly, "It's coming soon, you hold on a little longer"

"Okay," Ahri said with a pout, in fact, she was just coquettish, who could become a hero didn't have extraordinary physical strength, and now she was only a few days away.

Chen Ziang stopped and hesitated for a while, hugged Ahri and carried her on his back.

"Ah~ master! What are you doing," Ahri exclaimed.

"Didn't you say you're tired?"

"I'm joking, I'm afraid you'll suffocate along the way, so spice it up," Ahri said with a grin.

"Don't be verbose, I'll let you rest for a while, just concentrate on lying down" Chen Ziang frowned and continued to hurry with Ahri on his back, mainly because he forcibly controlled her like this, and in addition to Ahri's fact that he was a woman after all, he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Ahri quietly put his face on Chen Ziang's back, and the expression on his face became a little solemn, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

"It's finally here!" Chen Ziang put Ahri down, and looked up to see that this town was no different from the one where the Equilibrium Sect was located, but it looked more deserted.

Maybe it's because it's close to dusk, or maybe it's something else, but there are very few people walking around the streets.

It gives a more serene and peaceful feeling, and the pace of life slows down here.

"It's such a nice town," Chen Ziang walked slowly down the street, squinting his eyes and enjoying the last rays of the sun.

"Actually, I prefer moonlight to the sun," Ahri stuck out his little tongue, afraid that Chen Ziang would be unhappy.

"Arrived"

Chen Ziang stopped and saw an old tavern with the sign "Drunkard" not far ahead.

Why is it called an old tavern, because this tavern is very old for a long time, and the tavern brand has many cracks, but its owner has no intention of replacing it.

Walking into the Drunkard's Tavern, you can see that it is already full of people, and in the corner sits a bearded man with a waist girth that is much larger than normal, drinking alone, and the cup he drinks is bigger than an adult's head, but it is very happy.

This bald beard is the target of Chen Ziang's trip - barrel Nicholas

Among the more than ten heroes in Ionia, the barrel is the only hero who is a little more meaty, and the battle with Noxus requires not only strong outputs such as Ahri and EZ but also some meat shield heroes, so that it can be configured reasonably.

But most of the Ionian Island is full of export-type heroes, and if you want to find more fleshy heroes, you have to go to the Valoran Continent, but you don't know how much time you will waste when you set off to go to the Valoran Continent, so Chen Ziang gave up.

"Hey, bearded, can I sit down here?" Chen Ziang asked the barrel and sat down.

"Hiccup~" The barrel burped.

"You've already sat down, can I still drive you away? But you have to have two drinks with me."

With a wave of the barrel's hand, the sommelier brought up two large glasses of rum with ice cubes, one of which was for Ahri on the side.

Although the glass of wine is not as big as the one in the hand of the barrel, it is at least half a liter or more, which is almost life-threatening.

"Master, I don't know how to drink," Ahri tugged at Chen Ziang's sleeve and said softly.

"My friend, she can't drink it, I'll do it for you" Chen Ziang gritted his teeth and drank two large glasses of rum, this rum is extremely spicy in the mouth, but there is a faint fragrance and sweetness in the aftertaste.

After drinking two large glasses of wine, Chen Ziang was already a little drunk, and said, "Man, is this okay?" ”

"Good!" The barrel slapped the table, drank most of the wine in his glass, and then handed the glass to the sommelier.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me," the barrel said straight to the point, usually the taverns are regulars, but Chen Ziang he had never seen before, and he felt a hint of danger from the barrel of wine.

"Noxus will invade Ionia in a little more than a month, I think you should do something," Chen Ziang said with squinted eyes.

"Hahaha, I don't want to be a pawn of the politicians, so where did you come from, go back to where you came," the barrel laughed at first, and then said seriously.

Chen Zi frowned, pointed to the street outside the door, "For the peace of this town, for this tavern of yours", and then pointed to the glass, "For the sake of this rum, don't you want to protect them?" ”

The barrel was silent for a while, and then said, "It's easy to want me to agree, two things are better than one of me, drink to win me, or fight to win me!" ”

Chen Ziang stood up, "Then let's go"

He can't drink the barrel anymore, so there will be only one battle!

A new glass of wine was served, the barrel gurgled and took a big sip, and followed Chen Ziang to the outside of the tavern with satisfaction.

"Come on" The wine barrel patted his stomach and motioned for Chen Ziang to attack.

"Whew" "Whew"

Two darts with the power of the Shadow shot at the barrel, piercing his chest full of hair, but only a little into the flesh.

The wine barrel took off the two darts indifferently, and a huge oak barrel suddenly appeared in his hand and threw it at Chen Ziang.

Before he could dodge, the barrel exploded, and the hot wine blew up Chen Ziang's body.

The wine barrel suddenly held his big belly and headed towards Chen Zi like a rocket launch.

【**** Impact】

Seeing that he was about to bump into Chen Ziang, he turned into a shadow, and his real body appeared behind the wine barrel, and the fist sword in his hand flashed with a ghostly light.

[Shadow Mystery! Demon Slash]

The sharp fist sword cut into the back of the barrel, leaving only a shallow wound, and the skin of the barrel began to gradually turn red and hot.

This is the barrel using another of his skills [Drunken Berserk]

He turned around and slammed the oak barrel in his hand on the top of Chen Ziang's head.

Chen Ziang didn't faint this time, there was not much health left, and the wine barrel was so terrifying?

"Hiccup~" The wine barrel burped again, turned around and walked towards the tavern, leaving Chen Ziang stunned in place.

Now what? Can't pull the barrel over, there are no other meat shield heroes on Ionia Island, can we only find another output hero? How much time does that have to be wasted?

"Master, are you alright?" Ahri walked over to Chen Ziang, took his hand and pulled him up.

Chen Ziang smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, "I'm fine, let's go, go to the next place"

"Wait for me" The barrel followed him out of the tavern, a large glass of wine in his hand.

"Is there anything wrong, Mr. Barrel" Chen Ziang was really impressed by the strength of the barrel.

"I think you're right, I need to do something to protect my rum," the barrel said drunkenly as he took a sip of his wine.
