From Alliance to Marvel

Chapter 139 Arriving in Ionia
The lands of Ionia brim with unspoilt natural beauty and native magic.This sprawling island is dotted with settlements of humans, a spiritual people seeking a life of peace, harmony and peace.There are many sects and societies in Ionia, each following their own (often conflicting) teachings and philosophies.Ionia is self-sufficient and isolated, and has mostly remained neutral in Valoran's many wars over the centuries—until the invasion of Noxus.This brutal invasion forced Ionia to re-examine her place in the world.What measures it will take and where it will go in the future are all unpredictable.But regardless of Ionia's choice, the fate of Runeterra is bound to change.

On a piece of grassland in Navoli, there are two people walking leisurely and leisurely. No, it should be said that one is carrying a backpack and the other is following behind empty-handed.

That's right, it's our pig's feet and his younger brother, tour guide and punching bag - Ezreal.

Ezreal couldn't move anymore, so he stopped and put the bag on his shoulders on the ground.Turning around, he complained to Zeng Hao behind him: "Why do I have to carry a bag, you can obviously put it away."

Zeng Hao ignored Ezreal's complaints, spat out the foxtail in his mouth, and said: "That's your thing, have you become lazy, when I first saw you, your backpack was even bigger than your current one .If you are tired, go find two beasts that can travel, and I am also tired.”

After finishing speaking, Zeng Hao directly crossed Izreal and sat down to rest by the edge of a nearby big tree. He leaned against the tree trunk, put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the breeze. Cozy.

Ezreal said that you are empty-handed, and you are ashamed to say that you are tired.

But there is no way, no one can beat him, and after seeing Zeng Hao's strength, with such a strong teammate, how much trouble and danger can be avoided.

This gain and loss, I, Ezreal, can still figure it out clearly.Isn't it just a backpack, isn't it just to find a mount, I just go or not.

Thinking of this, Ezreal put the backpack beside Zeng Hao, and then looked around to see if there were any beasts that could be used as mounts.

After Zeng Hao felt Ezreal's movement, he opened his eyes to see the back of Ezreal's departure, then took out the Walkman, put on the earphones, closed his eyes and began to enjoy the soft music.

It is convenient to have a younger brother.

It didn't take long for Zeng Hao to sense Ezreal's return, but it seemed he wasn't the only one.

Ezreal came to Zeng Hao with a flicker, his chest heaved up and down with Ezreal's big inhalation, he wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Zeng Hao opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, patted Ezreal on the back, and said, "Take your time and smooth out your breath first. With Dad here, there is nothing that can't be solved."

Ezreal gave Zeng Hao a weird look, but Zeng Hao didn't care. After all, as a father, the child's little willfulness still has to be tolerated, but if it goes too far, it will be a crazy meal.

Not long after, Ezreal's breathing frequency and range improved, avoided Zeng Hao's hand, walked to the edge of the big tree, put his backpack back on his back, and said to Zeng Hao: "I was in the forest in front of me just now. Saw a group of Noxus troops, great numbers. However, they didn't see me. But we can't go further in this direction, they are a bunch of lunatics. Especially the one they lead, I know him, famous Admiral Dugol of Noxus. He has been fighting abroad all these years, and this time, he brought the war here."

After speaking, Ezreal walked directly away from the woods, but after walking for a while, he found that Zeng Hao hadn't followed.

I had no choice but to return to Zeng Hao's side, looked at the interested Zeng Hao, and persuaded: "We are here to find the temple on the map, not to participate in this war."

After being told by Ezreal, Zeng Hao also remembered the purpose of the two of them coming here, and it was really not suitable to participate in such a large-scale war.

"Okay, then you will lead the way, and I will follow you."

Seeing that Zeng Hao agreed to leave here, Ezreal immediately pulled Zeng Hao away in another direction.

But, did they really escape so easily?
In the middle of the woods, in a well-known tent, a man in armor sat on a huge chair, listening to the report from the guard officer who bent over and laughed with him.

"General Dukor, our scouts have already figured out the surrounding environment. There is a large village called Zanjia nearby. It has rich supplies and a beautiful environment. It can be used as a temporary residence for the general."

The Noxus general named Dukor nodded in satisfaction, and nodded in satisfaction to the guard officer, and said, "Okay, then go over there first and see what the village you said is like." Beautiful and rich. But soon it will be ours. Hahahaha."

Seeing the general laughing, the guard officer hurriedly laughed along with him, but the voice must be much lower than the general's.

After the general finished laughing, he waved to the guard and told him to go down, and brought up today's lunch by the way.

The guard officer took the order to retreat.

After leaving the general's big tent, the guard officer straightened up, looked at the guards outside the tent, snorted softly, then walked to the camp where the soldiers were stationed, and informed the general of the arrangement.

Soon, after lunch, the army set off and marched towards the rich village that the guard said.

At this time, Zeng Hao and Ezreal were sitting in a tavern, tasting local delicacies.The tavern was encountered by Zeng Hao and Ezreal after passing through a forest, and there were no guests inside.The tavern is not big, there are only two people in it, a boss and a guy, it looks like a family.According to the boss, the people who usually come to the tavern are mostly pedestrians or travelers and explorers like Zeng Hao.

The owner of the tavern is a bold man. Seeing that the two are foreign explorers, he is very enthusiastic and enthusiastically sells local food and drinks to them.

Naturally, Zeng Hao would not refuse anyone, since he was rich anyway.

The two ordered a full table, which made the boss on one side laugh.

Seeing a table full of food, Ezreal also forgot what happened in the morning, and began to enjoy the local food with Zeng Hao.You have to know that when I went on an adventure alone, I didn't eat the last meal, and I didn't have dinner after lunch.Now that I finally got such a big money, why don't I reward myself well.

After lunch, the two of them slumped on the chairs without any image. The boss came over to pour tea for them and cleared the table.

Zeng Hao asked the boss: "Well, boss, do you have old maps for sale in your village?"

While cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, the boss replied enthusiastically: "Yes, there are, we have them in the tavern, but I don't know what kind of guests you need."

Zeng Hao let out a sigh, and when he saw the boss who was so considerate in business, he sincerely praised: "Boss, you really know how to do business. Just get me the oldest one, and I'll take a look first. After all, this is also considered a It’s a little hobby of ours.”

The boss let out a cry, and called a buddy over. The buddy took the bowls and chopsticks from the boss, and the boss went to get the map for the two of them.

The guy looks very young, handsome, with a childish face.

"Hey boy, how old are you?"

The clerk smiled shyly, and upon hearing Zeng Hao's question, he replied, "I'm thirteen this year."

After Zeng Hao heard it, he stood up in disbelief, compared his height with the buddy, saw that the boy had reached his shoulders, and felt that his height was insulted.

However, when Zeng Hao looked at Ezreal who was sitting by the table, he laughed.Forcibly pulled Ezreal up from the chair and brought him to the side of the buddy, just like that.

Hey, sure enough, there is no gap if there is no care.

"Look at him, and then at you. Ezreal, what do you look like? Their 13-year-old child is about the same height as you."

Ezreal crossed his arms around his chest, and replied with his mouth curled up: "Who is not a child yet, I am not yet an adult this year, okay, I can continue to grow taller. If I grow taller than you by then, you can Be careful."

Zeng Hao waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, if you grow taller than me in the future, I will cut off your legs and see who is taller."

The waiter at the side watched Zeng Hao's operation so aggressively that the stacked plates in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Ezreal saw that the guys were frightened by Zeng Hao, looked at Zeng Hao mockingly, and said, "Look, you frightened everyone."

Zeng Hao didn't care about this, he aimed at the back of Ezreal's head, but he missed.

Because the quick-witted Ezreal flickered to the side of the original seat as soon as Zeng Hao raised his hand.

The first hit failed, and Zeng Hao didn't continue to make up the knife. He pointed to Ezreal who was making a face there, laughed, and then returned to the chair to finish.

At this time, the boss also walked towards the two with a few bamboo tubes.

Seeing that the guy hadn't cleared the table, the boss stretched out his foot and kicked the guy just like before, but he didn't use much force.

He said to Zeng Hao and Ezreal with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, this guy is not familiar with him yet, I will deduct his wages then."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glared at the clerk, urging: "Hurry up, the time of the guests is precious."

Seeing the boss's actions, Zeng Hao said quickly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I can afford to wait for this time. Let him clean up slowly, I think he is very serious."

Seeing what Zeng Hao said, the boss snorted at the clerk, then took the two of them to a clean table next to him, took out the map from the bamboo tube, unfolded it carefully, put it on the table, and asked Zeng Hao The introduction said: "Look, these are the oldest maps in our store."

Zeng Hao glanced at it, the map was a bit yellowish, and the handwriting on it was not very clear. After looking at it, he felt sleepy, so I better leave it to Ezreal.

He said to Ezreal, "Come and see, I don't really understand."

Ezreal hummed, but didn't reply, after all, it was business.When he came to the table, he took out a very professional pair of glasses from his pocket. After putting it on, he picked up the map on the table and began to observe carefully.

It didn't take long, Ezreal looked at all the maps on the table, and shook his head at Zeng Hao in disappointment, Zeng Hao was also a little disappointed after seeing it.

Seeing the two shaking their heads, the boss didn't know why they were dissatisfied, so he asked Zeng Hao: "Guest, is there anything you are dissatisfied with? Is the map not old enough, or I'll look for it again? "

Zeng Hao waved his hand and said, "No, it's just that we don't have the information we want. By the way, do you know anyone else in this village who keeps this kind of map?"

The boss thought for a while, but he didn't think of it, so he could only say sorry: "I'm sorry, I really don't know anyone else who has this kind of map. After all, not everyone can keep these maps properly. I got them from my father. Inherited from his hands, I heard that some ancient battlefields are recorded on it.”

The guy who was clearing the table heard the conversation between the three and couldn't help but interject.

"I know, the last time I went to Zan's house, I heard Irelia talk about it."

The boss glanced back at the guy, and said, "As far as you know, how many times have I told you, don't run around alone."

The guy said oh and left with a stack of plates.

Zeng Hao asked curiously: "Boss, where is this Zan's house? I want to try my luck and see if there is anything I want."

This time the boss clearly pointed out the location of Zan's house to Zeng Hao on the map, it was in the direction the two came from, but it was not a short distance from here.

Zeng Hao looked up at Ezreal, and Ezreal also looked at Zeng Hao solemnly.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the boss asked, "Have the two guests been to Zan's house? Why are you suddenly silent?"

Zeng Hao didn't speak, but Ezreal felt that it was still necessary to tell the boss about his discovery.

"Well, boss, we were going that way, but we saw a group of Noxus troops on the way, and then we changed our course and came here."

When the boss heard about the Noxus army, he was stunned. After confirming that Ezreal was not joking, the boss apologized to the two of them, and then quickly left with a worried expression on his face.

He whispered in his mouth: "I hope there is still time."

After a while, Zeng Hao saw a bird flying out of the yard behind the tavern, and the direction was the direction of Zan's house.

When the boss returned to the two of them, he had already changed into a suit of armor, and apologized to the two of them: "I'm sorry, I have to rush over to have a look. Today, the two of you will be free of consumption here, Weiss, Come over to greet the two guests, see if they have any requests, and agree to them."

The last few words were addressed to the waiter, and before Zeng Hao and Ezreal could reply, he hurriedly ran outside the tavern.

The buddy, that is, Weiss, also came to the two of them with a worried face at this time, and asked, "Have you really discovered the Noxus army?"

Zeng Hao looked at Ezreal who was beside him, after all, this is what he told himself.

Ezreal nodded, and replied: "Really, I saw it with my own eyes. It's in a forest. If I didn't hide quickly, I might have been discovered by them."

The guy took a deep breath, his expression was downcast, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.Not to Zeng Hao and the others, but to this group of invaders.

Zeng Hao walked up to Weiss and patted him on the shoulder, wanting to comfort Weiss, but he didn't know how to speak, and he didn't say anything, "it will be fine", after all, there are no immortals in war.It's just that there is a difference between intimacy and distance.

After a while, Zeng Hao made a decision, he was going to join in and try his best to help them.Even if only one person is saved.

After making up his mind, Zeng Hao said to Weiss, "Don't worry, I will bring your father back."

Ezreal raised his head and glanced at Zeng Hao. For some reason, Zeng Hao, who had already agreed not to join the team, suddenly made such a decision.But he didn't ask Zeng Hao directly, after all, he still couldn't influence Zeng Hao's decision, who made Zeng Hao the boss.I am the fate of a younger brother, so I just listen to Zeng Hao's arrangement. After all, I have discussed with Tryndamere and Bron, so I know Zeng Hao's nature to some extent.

Ignoring Ezreal, Zeng Hao said to Weiss: "Do you know the way? Take us to Zan's house. We will help you repel the Noxus army. Bring your father back by the way."

Weiss nodded heavily, but then he thought about it, what would he do even if he went, he was just a 13-year-old boy who developed earlier.And the two in front of him looked really weak.

Seeing the change in Weiss' eyes, Zeng Hao felt that he still had to show his hand, otherwise others would think he was easy to bully.

Looking around, there was something that could be used as a target, and finally chose a big stone outside the tavern.

He said to Weiss, "Look."

After finishing speaking, he summoned a wind blade and shot towards the stone.

Weiss saw Zeng Hao raised his hand and summoned a gust of wind, cutting the stone standing outside the tavern in half. He covered his mouth in surprise, and looked at Zeng Hao who was standing next to him in disbelief.

"This is the stone used to dry food in our tavern. You destroyed it. What shall we use to dry things in the future?"

Zeng Hao touched the back of his head and showed a kind of awkward smile.

Ezreal on the side saw Zeng Hao deflated, turned his back, covered his mouth with his hands, and tried hard not to make a sound, but his violently trembling shoulders had already exposed his behavior at a glance.

Zeng Hao casually picked up a bamboo tube on the table and threw it towards Ezreal.

Then cast time magic to restore the stone, and then said to Weiss: "Now we have the strength to bring your father back."

Weiss ignored Zeng Hao, but immediately ran to the rocks outside, touched the rocks carefully, and pushed hard, and found that the rocks had really recovered, so he returned to Zeng Hao side.

Looking at Zeng Hao with a complicated expression, now he believes that Zeng Hao has the strength to bring his father back.

"Okay, I'll take you to Zan's house, but my father has already ridden the only horse in the tavern, how can we get there?"

Zeng Hao thought for a while, then took out two pieces of metal from his pocket.

Familiar friends already know what it is.

That's right, our rocket thrusters.

Zeng Hao held the metal piece and said to Weiss, "We use flying ones."

After speaking, he took Weiss and Ezreal to the outside of the tavern, and explained to them how to use the propeller.

It was the first time for Ezreal to see such a high-end thruster, although he lived in Piltover, a technologically advanced city of Piltover.

The thrusters were easy to operate, and the two were able to fly through the air in no time.

Weiss closed the door of the tavern, and Zeng Hao and Ezreal flew towards Zan's house under the leadership of Weiss.

(Because the village where Irelia lived couldn't find the name, so I just called it Zanjia. After all, this name appeared in Irelia's profile.)
As for Zeng Hao, he naturally flew by relying on his own ability. After all, he still needs to exercise his ability in this area. He cannot always rely on technology. Only his own strength is the real strength.
