"Ize, are you tired? I'm so tired, why don't we take a break. ”

"Whatever. ”

"Izawa, are you thirsty? I have water. ”

"No, I don't. ”

"Izawa, are you hungry? I'll go find something to eat. ”

“...... Good. ”

"Izawa, is your injury better? I don't see you for so long, I seem to be more handsome. ”

“......”

"Izawa, why don't you speak? Are you too tired?"

“......”

"Izawa, you're ......"

"Ah," looking at the purple figure chattering next to him, as if he would never finish speaking, Ize held his head and made a kneeling posture, "Brother Tower, can you give me a minute of silence?"

Izawa had wondered more than once if the handsome and tall purple figure in front of him was the gem knight Tariq he had befriended back then.

Although he turned from green to purple, the fact that he looked exactly the same was there. But in fact, it is not uncommon in this world to look the same, after all, they are too different in personality! Tariq was calm and silent and did not smile, but now this guy in front of him is constantly nagging in his ear, and his ears are calloused.

Ize finally knew why Ryze's cunning old guy insisted that Tariq follow him, saying that the two of them were safe, but in fact, he just wanted to be quiet, so he had to bring Tariq with him...... Although it is indeed his inevitable duty to maintain peace on the continent and avoid war, it does not mean that he has to bring a nagging Tariq by his side, although Ize can feel Tariq's transformation, but ...... He's really annoying......

"Ahh ”

Some don't quite fit in, Tariq's movements. Ize took a step back, leaving only air on his left shoulder, "When we met, you weren't like that, Tarik, the Jewel Knight. ”

Back then, Ize and Tariq walked together from meeting each other, and there were no more than five sentences in total.

"Ezreal the Explorer. ”

"Jewel Knight Tariq. ”

"I am trying to break through the blockade of the invaders on the mainland in order to save the continent. ”

"I guess if I can help, can you let me join?"

"Thanksgiving. ”

"People always change, how can they grow if they don't change?" the expression on Tariq's face was slightly solemn, and then replaced by a unique smile, "And I'm not the Jewel Knight I used to be now, I'm the Shield of Valoran now." ”

"The shield of Valoran?" Ize looked at Tariq, his hands crossed unconsciously.

"Yes. Tariq nodded solemnly, "In the past, I only guarded my town, but now I am guarding the whole of Valoran. ”

"Can we be together?" Izawa smiled as he patted Tariq on the shoulder.

Tariq also smiled, and in Ize's eyes, Tariq was full of affection, and his affectionate smile made Ize break down in a cold sweat. This...... The goods will not be ......

"How long will it be before we get to Freljord?" asked Tariq, seemingly unaware of Ize's demeanor.

"All the way north through the foamy mud and the serpentine river, you'll see Freljord," said Izawa, wiping away the cold sweat from his head, "and a rough estimate of about a month." ”

"Well," Tariq nodded, "then we'll speed things up." ”

"Okay. ”

···········

Shurima.

Lucian hugged his shoulders and looked at the thin figure behind him who had been keeping his head down and silent.

"Hey, what the hell are you trying to do, what are you doing with me all the time?"

"I ······" The skinny girl lowered her head and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Sighing lightly, Lucian was a little helpless, he knew that he wouldn't be nosy, that day he saw that the girl behind him was surrounded by a group of wolves, so he helped out and solved all the wolves, but he didn't expect that since that day, this girl has been following him, and he can't get rid of it.

"I ······ I ······" The girl quickly raised her head, and after making contact with Lucian's black gaze, she seemed to be frightened by something, and quickly lowered her head.

"Stop following me, okay? What the hell do you want to do?"

"Take me, will you take me to the Land of Runeterra?" the girl hung her head, her white fingers wringing.

"Runeterrae?" Lucian was stunned for a moment, narrowing his black eyes, "Where are you going, what are you going to do?"

"Please······" Although it was soft, the girl's voice was soaked with inexplicable emotion.

“...... Tell me why, or I'll refuse. Twisting his aching neck slightly, Lucian whispered.

"I, I don't know......" The girl slowly squatted down, buried her face deep in her knees, her thin body trembled slightly, "Please, take me to ......"

Desperate words came out of the girl's mouth with a cry.

Looking at the girl who was as weak as the last petal in the cold wind, Lucian was slightly stunned, and a certain part of his heart was violently touched.

“...... Stop up...... Senna ...... "My lover who loved him in the past had the same tone, and that last call became my only memory." Lucian kept the memory and the scars of the past in his heart for a long time, and he didn't ask about it for years.

"How long are you going to squat there?" sighed lightly, turning his back away from the skinny girl, "It's not a step or two to get to the Runeterras from here. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, slowly stood up, and looked at Lucian's tall back with some shaking, "You...... Thank you ......."

"Let's go. The voice was a little lazy and helpless.

"Uh-huh. ”

"By the way, my name is Lucian. Those who know me call me the Holy Lance Ranger. ”

"I, my name is Ahri......"
