Legends of Runeterra

After a long time, Li En came to the seventeenth floor of Hefeng Industries, the Hextech Crystal exclusive laboratory.

Following behind him was Zeli. As soon as Li En entered the laboratory, he saw Jace and Victor waiting at the door, and not far away were many busy researchers.

"Good day, Lord Li En!" x2

"Well, how is it going? Victor, Jace, has your research been going smoothly recently? Are there any problems with funding or lack of experimental materials?"

"Master Li En, Ms. Renata has made very good arrangements. There are sufficient funds and materials. Victor and I have been doing very well in our recent research!"

"Well, that's good! I've also made a new discovery about the properties of Hex Crystals!"

Li En waved his hand and Ze Li stepped forward and handed two documents to them.

The document contained some changes in the properties of the Hextech crystals that he had discovered when he was using the Void to assimilate and devour Camille's energy stagnation nodes.

"Take a look at it, maybe it will give you some inspiration."

"Yes, sir, it will definitely help!"

Jace took the document in his hand and said with a smile, while Victor started flipping through it without saying a word.

“Huh!? This is…”

The document contained less than three pages, but after reading it, Victor's eyes lit up and he immediately walked quickly towards the experimental equipment with his crutches.

"Victor!"

Jace shouted, then turned back to look at Lee En.

"I'm sorry, sir, that's just how he is. Once he discovers something, he completely forgets himself and studies it!"

Of course, Li En would not be angry about this. How could Viktor be so unsociable as to be able to work under Dean Heimerdinger in Piltover?

This behavior shows that he is loyal to Li En and Hefeng Industry and no longer needs to hide his idealistic nature.

"It's okay, I understand. Jace, you go and help too. I'll look around here first!"

"Yes, sir! Gerald, you come and introduce Lord Li En!"

Without delay, Jace called a researcher over, then quickly flipped through the documents while running towards the experimental equipment.

After Li En walked around, he saw Jayce and Viktor with red faces.

"Sir, you are truly amazing. The discovery of these properties, roughly estimated, will at least increase our experimental progress by ten percentage points!"

"That's great news! By the way, Victor, how did your talk with that 'mentor' go?"

Facing Li En's question, Victor paused slightly.

"Uh...I'm sorry sir, he didn't agree."

"That's it, I understand."

Seeing the guilt on Victor's face, Li En walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, Viktor. Singed is not that simple. I ask you to just give it a try. Just once is enough. Don't force it. Do you understand? To me, ten of him are not as good as one of you or Jayce!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer, let's get on with our work!"

...

When I returned to the office, Hilco and Vander were already waiting there. The two of them were less than two meters apart, but it seemed like they were in a world of their own.

"Lord Li En!"

"Hilco, what are the results of the investigation?"

"Sir, besides the alchemy barons' men around Singed, there is indeed a mysterious force. None of the spies we sent over have returned!"

Thinking about the Alchemy Venom incident that would change Riven's life in the future and cause a series of chain reactions, Li En already had some guesses about that group of mysterious people.

"Okay, I get it. Take the man back. As long as he's not blocking the way, don't bother with him anymore!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Li En nodded, and after Hilco left, he looked at Vander standing beside him.

"Sit down, Uncle Vander. What would you like to drink?"

Fander sat down and slumped down in a comfortable posture: "I can do anything, but don't let that little girl Zeli prepare it, you can do it yourself."

Knowing that the work that Vandel is responsible for is the most troublesome, and considering the relationship between Wei and Baobao, Li En is also happy to get along with Vandel in this way.

"Okay, how about rum?"

"A real man should drink this!"

After Fandel drank a glass of rum on the rocks in one gulp, he began to complain about the unruly people of Zaun on his territory.

"Li En, what did you arrange? The most you can do is scold them. If you want to beat them up, do you have to wait for them to make a move? I've been in Zaan for so many years, and I've never seen anyone do this!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Fandel!"

"But Li En..."

"People don't want to believe that there are normal forces in Zaun. They prefer to believe that Zaun is full of evil forces. People especially want to believe that Zaun should be like a stinking ditch!

However, Hefeng Industry is an emerging force, and it has the opportunity to show a different force to the people of Zaun. As long as they have heard, seen, and come into contact with it, there will be a seed buried in their hearts.

And what we want is that seed!

Uncle Vander, do you understand me?"

Facing Li En's ink-black eyes, Vander scratched his bearded chin and nodded seriously.

"Well, I understand, I will continue to do it!"

"Very good. Also, remember to supervise Ms. Janna's propaganda of faith!"

"No problem, I've prepared the slogan - it's free anyway, so just believe it! What do you think?"

"What a genius idea!"

"Hahaha! No way!"

...

That night, because Seraphine wanted to expand her thinking, Li En, Orianna and Caitlyn went to the Piltover Opera House to watch the show together.

After sending Orianna and Caitlyn, who were closer, to their respective homes, Li En and Seraphine took a carriage to Werner's audio shop.

The carriage was moving at a steady pace, but as it got closer to the audio shop, Seraphine became more and more restless.

He looked up at Li En frequently, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

"Seraphini, Seraphine!"

"Ah! Brother Li En! Sorry, I was distracted just now!"

"I remember you said there's a harbor nearby. The moonlight is nice tonight. How about we go for a walk?"

"Okay! I...I mean..."

"Let's go then!"

...

The carriage slowly drove away, leaving only the two of them standing there.

The sea surface not far away was illuminated by the moonlight, reflecting an undulating and changing moon shadow.

A gentle sea breeze blew, and the only sound in the harbor was the gentle lapping of waves.

Seraphine secretly glanced at the young man beside her, and Li En turned his head at this time, and the two looked at each other.

“Seraphone, you just... seemed to have something to say, right?”

"me..."

Seraphine stumbled and couldn't speak for a long time.

Li En saw the other party's embarrassment and said softly: "It's okay. If it's not appropriate now, wait until next time when you have made up your mind!"

"not like this!"

Seraphine reached out and grabbed Li En's arm, fearing that he would turn around the next second.

"Ok?"

"I...I have a song I want to sing to you. I wrote it myself!"

"Really? Then..."

Before Li En could finish speaking, Seraphine raised her hand and gently pressed his mouth.

"Brother Li En, this is written for you, please...please listen!"

Seraphine said, taking a few steps back and standing still.

A clear, beautiful, and melodious singing voice gradually sounded.

The song is full of innocence and childishness, and it sings about her happy childhood.

The sudden ups and downs sing about her awakening talent and the changes she encounters.

It's a sad and mournful song, describing the time when her talent got out of control and brought trouble to her parents.

At this point, Seraphine opened her eyes and looked at Li En, and her singing became cheerful and joyful, singing about the meeting between the two.

It is warm and reassuring, and it sings about how Li En taught her magic. From then on, she was no longer tormented by her talent, and her parents no longer worried.

Finally, the singing becomes confused and nervous, yet full of passionate emotions.

When the song ended, Seraphine looked at Li En closely.

"Brother Li En, this is the song I wrote just for you, and it's also..."

...

Under the moonlight, two figures embraced each other.
