Legends of Runeterra

"Well, how about I go and deal with it now?"

"Hey~! It's not a big deal. Thanks to that pollution, I was able to wake up from my half-asleep state!

Besides, my good kids are working hard over there to curb pollution.

Come, Li En, come chat with me. You are the first person to come to my garden!"

Hearing Ms. Huanmeng's nonchalant tone, Li En was a little confused for a moment.

As expected, as a being born from the seed of the 'Emperor Willow', how could it be so easily affected by the changes in the material world?

But to be on the safe side, Li En still asked.

"Please wait, Ms. Huanmeng. If you rely on your children alone, can you deal with the pollution?"

"I can't handle it!"

"Then...what!?"

Li En subconsciously wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but he reacted instantly and looked at the Dream Tree with confusion and surprise.

"Oh~! There's nothing to worry about. These pollutions have no effect on me. It's just..."

"But what?"

"It's just that the Forget-Me-Not Garden has been polluted, and some creatures will start to have nightmares, which will then further expand the scope of the pollution, thus forming a vicious cycle!"

"Uh! In that case, Ms. Huanmeng, I'd better go and deal with it first!"

Although Ms. Huanmeng's tone was very relaxed, Li En did not think it was a trivial matter, so he spoke quickly.

"Haha~! Okay, I won't tease you anymore! Go ahead. I'm already very relieved that I can see other living beings when I wake up this time!"

"Ma'am, you mean to say that after dealing with the pollution you will fall into that half-awake state again?"

"um, yes!"

"this..."

"Haha~! Go ahead, Li En. This is my duty. Compared to the fragility and suffering of ordinary people, I am already so lucky that carrying this responsibility is nothing!

As for how to deal with it, let Lilia teach you when you get there!"

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me from now on!"

"Well, be careful on your way! Oh, and take this!"

A dark blue leaf fell from the Dream Tree and floated in front of Li En.

"Ma'am, this is..."

"With it, you can move freely in this forest. Besides, my child is a little shy. If you don't have the token, she won't communicate with you!"

Li En raised his hand to catch the leaf.

"Ma'am, what should I call your child then?"

"Her name is Lilia. She has never come into contact with strangers since she was a child, so I hope you, Li En, can be more tolerant of her!

It would be great if you could make friends with her!"

"Of course, ma'am, don't worry!"

Facing Ms. Huanmeng's request, Li En straightened his chest and looked confident.

...

In the twisted and weird forest, there is a girl with long white hair, pink to purple gradient antlers on her forehead, a pair of big ears hanging down, and wearing a purple off-shoulder dress.

He was carefully stretching out his hands, aiming at the tree covered with black tumors in front of him.

"Om~!"

A pink-purple light like stardust emanated from her hands and drifted toward the twisted trees.

"Chi~!"

Along with the sound of the red-hot sword blank being quenched, a burst of black smoke rose up.

When the antler girl put down her hands, the black tree tumors disappeared and the twisted and strange trees returned to normal.

Seeing this scene, a bright smile bloomed on the girl's cute face.

"Great! Another polluted tree has been cleaned up, and Mother Tree is one step closer to recovery!

Come on, Lilia, you can do it!"

After wiping the beads of sweat from her face, Lilia jumped lightly.

"Hey~!"

The girl's figure was fully revealed. From her belly down she looked like a fawn, with white and shiny fur, four slender hooves, and a furry, fluffy, curly tail at the end.

This peculiar scene of deer and humans intertwined does not look weird at all, but instead shows a different kind of beauty.

That graceful figure was like an elf that could only appear in the most beautiful dreams.

The only flaw is that there is a spot on the girl's furry and fluffy tail where the hair is a little less than the surrounding area.

As a result, the perfect tail had a very tiny flaw.

Of course, it would be impossible for someone who does not have Li En's vision and observation skills to discover this.

After seeing Lilia, Li En no longer hid himself.

Walking in the forest, deliberately making some noise.

"Slightly rustling~!"

"Yo~!"

Lilia, who has a pair of big ears, immediately caught the movement not far away.

"Shua~!"

Before her mind could even begin to react, Lilia's body instantly jumped behind a tree and hid.

A pair of deer antlers poked out carefully, followed by Lilia's panicked pink and purple eyes.

“Crack, crack~!”

The sound came closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

Until the dense bushes were parted, and an incredibly handsome human man with black hair and black eyes walked out.

"Yo~!"

Lilia couldn't help but let out a lovely deer cry.

Fortunately, at the moment she hid, she cast the magic of dreams on herself, so the sound at this moment would not reach the other person's ears.

"That's weird. I clearly heard some noise over here just now, but how come there's no one there when I got here?"

The man looked around and muttered to himself.

"Ms. Dream said her child, Lilia, is in this area!"

"Yo~! It's someone that Tree Mama knows!"

After hearing the man's narration, Lilia's panic immediately dissipated a lot.

The 'Forget-Me-Not Garden' is the Mother Tree's territory, and nothing can be hidden from her.

In addition, the other party knew the tree mother and seemed gentle and soothing, so Lilia felt that she would not be in any danger.

But even so, she still didn't want to show up, even though she had a slight desire to get to know the other person.

"By the way, let's see if the leaves can help me find Lilia."

As the man spoke, he took out a dark green leaf from his arms.

"Yo~! It's the leaves of the mother tree!"

Seeing the familiar leaves, Lilia, who had been secretly watching, finally put her mind at ease.

There will be no danger now!

"Please, help me find where Lilia is! Otherwise I don't know how to clean up the pollution!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leaves in the man's hand emitted a dark green light.

"Om~!"

The leaves turned into dark blue energy ribbons, extending from the man's hands and floating quickly towards the direction where Lilia was hiding.

"Woooooooooooo! Don't come over here! Please, Mother Tree!"

The panicked Lilia didn't even make a deer call. She quickly retreated behind the tree and called out with tears in her eyes.

However, the dark blue energy ribbon did not stop at all and went straight behind the tree.

With Lilia's tearful expression on her face, he easily broke through the magic barrier she had set up.
