Legends of Runeterra

Along the way, the mercenaries led by Samira all understood Li En's character.

Although he seems to be a nobleman far away in Noxus, he does not have the arrogance and overbearing nature of a nobleman. Instead, he is very approachable.

During breaks, he often chats with anyone. He is curious about Shurima and speaks politely and with discretion.

In addition, Li En had instructed Safet and others that, apart from being on guard and fighting, they would not reprimand the mercenaries for their impoliteness like ordinary noble guards, so the mercenary group quickly accepted this generous employer.

...

"Okay, let's skip this topic!"

Samira looked at the shy boy in front of her and finally understood why some rough guys liked to tease the waitresses in the tavern. The boring journey became interesting with Li En's embellishment.

"Thank you so much! By the way, what are your plans for the rest of the journey? Are there any places to explore around here?"

The boy's method of changing the subject was a bit awkward, but out of professionalism, Samira interrupted her random thoughts, took out a blueprint from her waist and spread it in front of the two of them.

“Now we are here!”

Samira took off her gloves and pointed to an intersection on the map, her creamy brown nail polish gleaming in the firelight.

This difference from the previous few days attracted Li En's gaze for a few seconds, and Samira's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"That means we now have two directions to go. Where do they lead to?"

"The two roads lead to the ruins of Les and the ruins of Bianca respectively!"

Li En's eyes lit up and he asked, "Which one is more suitable? I know that the ruins of Shurima are very dangerous, and we are not fully prepared. Just pick a suitable one to see it. I don't want anyone to lose their lives because of this!"

Hearing Li En's concern for everyone, Samira gave a charming smile.

"Both ruins have been developed. Although there are no treasures inside, their safety is guaranteed! The Les ruins are relatively ordinary, while the Bianca ruins are large ruins with spectacular architecture!"

"Okay! It's decided then, let's go to the Bianca Ruins!"

"Yeah, sure! By the way, do you think this looks good?"

Samira stretched out her hand in front of Li En, her milky brown nails sparkling like pieces of milk chocolate.

"Ah? It's...pretty nice."

Li En looked up at Samira, his emerald green eyes sparkling in the firelight.

"Like it?"

"Um... like it, right? Huh!?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Samira quickly touched the side of Li En's face with her hand, and then kissed Li En's face heavily like a stamp, leaving a clear lip mark.

"you..."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is a thank you gift!"

Samira, who had successfully carried out the sneak attack, straightened her braids and spoke calmly. Then, without waiting for Li En to speak, she turned around and left calmly, but her steps were a little messy.

Under the cover of night, no one noticed this scene.

Except for Safet who was on guard not far away, everyone else watched the scene expressionlessly.

...

Gently wiping off the lip marks, Li En made a bowl of meat porridge and began to eat silently, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth hidden by the porcelain bowl.

Of course Li En reacted and could have easily avoided Samira's hand, but if he had dodged it, who knew if this desert beauty, who had been struggling all the way, could muster up the courage again.

It would be inappropriate for him to take the initiative. After all, this is not in line with his current personality.

...

After perfunctorily dealing with the mercenaries, Samira went into her tent, threw herself on the bed, and buried her face in the blanket. The only exposed ear was slightly red.

Taking a deep breath, Samira calmed down, like a desert caracal that had successfully hunted, and a smile appeared on her face uncontrollably.

That day, Li En was domineering in his power of life and death, gentle and approachable in his communication with the mercenaries, shy when he was teased by himself, and had the image of a gentle and elegant nobleman.

Samira, who was used to the rude and brutal Shurimans, was deeply attracted to them.

As for Cassiopeia, Samira doesn't care if Uzeris is the acting lord.

She, Samira, is not some delicate noble lady, she has strength and means!

Besides, mercenaries are in a job where their jobs are unpredictable. Now that Samira has met someone she likes, she will never give up on him!

-----------------

The next morning, before the sun rose, everyone had packed up the camp and set off.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Li En could vaguely see buildings appearing in the distance.

Another two hours passed and everyone finally arrived at the ruins. Li En looked up at the majestic building.

The building is more than 50 meters high above the ground and thousands of meters wide. It is built entirely of giant rectangular stones weighing hundreds of tons.

Even though it has been weathered for who knows how long, you can still see the remaining carvings on the building.

It stands quietly in the desert, and with its majestic and grand appearance, it tells every passerby about the glory of the Shurima Empire.

"Okay, what's so interesting about this entrance? Let's go in quickly. There are more interesting things inside!"

Seeing that Li En was lost in thought, Samira interrupted him.

"This is just an entrance?!"

“Yes, about 200 years ago, an unprecedented sandstorm took away countless sands, allowing the Bianca ruins to appear in the world.

Over the next few hundred years, the constant wind and dust buried it into this state. It is estimated that in another 100 years, it will be buried again!"

Li En nodded when he heard this, and the group chose to set up camp in the shadow of a relic, avoiding the sun during the day and blocking the wind and sand at night.

Everyone took a short rest and then split into teams. The mercenaries were led by Samira and five veterans, while Li En was led by Safet and four soldiers, a total of twelve people, to protect Li En as he entered the ruins.

The rest of the people were outside guarding the camp.

...

As soon as he entered the Bianca ruins, Li En felt a chill. Conservatively estimated, the temperature difference between inside and outside was at least 20 degrees.

Samira walked beside Li En and threw him a coat: "Put it on! The temperature inside the ruins is extremely low, and you can even see ice cubes occasionally!"

"Well, thank you!"

Li En took the coat and a familiar scent came to his nose. Obviously, this was Samira's coat.

He subconsciously looked at the other person. Samira shrugged and smiled slightly in response to Li En's gaze.

Seeing this, Li En did not refuse and put on his coat quickly. Samira showed a satisfied look.

She could have reminded Li En before entering the ruins, but if she did that, how could she get him to put on her coat?

Clearing her throat, Samira continued, "The Bianca ruins have been explored by countless people, and the mechanisms have been destroyed, so there is basically no danger!

However, there are still poisonous creatures such as snakes, spiders, and scorpions hiding in the corners. Remember to be aware of your surroundings and don’t reach out casually! "

"Well, I see!"
