Legends of Runeterra

In Bilgewater, as the Harrowing approached, some people told this horrific rumor without hesitation.

Even though Li En didn't make a loud noise and just spoke in a normal voice, this behavior was undoubtedly a bit "unlucky".

But one of the opponents was a Freljord roughneck whose arms were thicker than the thighs of most people, and the other was a black-haired man with exquisite clothes and extraordinary looks.

Even a drunkard would not provoke the above two types of people.

The fools who did get off the boat in Bilgewater would be ripped off and left in a dark ditch to be devoured by dock rats and bloodthirsty moray eels.

Looking at the large circle of empty seats surrounding Li En and Olaf, the bartender felt helpless, but he could only concentrate on mixing drinks to serve the Freljord man.

It's bad luck, but at least Olaf drank as much as ten people, so tonight's sales increased instead of decreased.

"Hahaha~! Great! I didn't expect there would be such creatures here. Leave it to me, Li En. I must take a good look at these undead spirits!

If they can kill me, even better!"

"Haha~! Then I will let the sailors spread your legend across the sea along the sails."

When Olaf heard what Li En said, his face suddenly froze.

"Hahaha~! We agreed, Li En, don't forget it!"

The hearty laughter drowned out the noisy sounds in the entire pub, shaking the roof slightly.

Olaf was prophesied to live a long and uneventful life. After receiving the prophecy, everything he did was to break it.

Killing one terrifying monster after another and dying gloriously in the process is what he desires most.

Now Li En’s promise undoubtedly hit the point that Olaf cares about most.

There is nothing more wonderful than the name of glory being sung across the sea.

"Come on, drink this cup!"

"cheers."

"Bang~!"

The two small wine barrels bumped into each other lightly, and the two men drank them all in one gulp.

“Ding-dong~!”

Gold and silver coins fell on the bar.

"Olaf, keep drinking. I have something else to deal with first."

"Go ahead, my friend. Next time we meet, I'll bring you some real Freljord liquor!"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!"

After bumping fists with Olaf, Li En stood up and walked out of the tavern.

...

Li En walked into the quiet and dark alley with a calm expression.

“Gurgle~Gurgle~!”

"Wow~!"

Pike, wearing fishbone armor and a red mask, emerged from the air.

"Lord Li En!"

"Well, you came to see me, did you find that guy?"

"Yes, Lord Li En, I sensed a different aura near the 'Hydra' tavern. It is very similar to the aura of the devil you described!"

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

"Yes, my lord!"

Completely concealing his and Pike's presence, Li En and he came to a high building near the 'Hydra' tavern where they could overlook the view.

A hint of red light flashed across the depths of his dark eyes, and Li En carefully observed the distance.

After a while, he saw the undisguised aura of endless greed.

"Very good, leave it to me from now on. Pike, go hunt down the guys on the list."

"Yes, Master Li En!"

Pike moved and dove into the air.

Li En took a step forward, activated [Dimensional Walking], and left silently.

...

'Hydra', one of the few high-end taverns in Bilgewater.

The pub was richly decorated and had a certain elegance, unlike other bars frequented by the poor, with lingering fishy smell and all kinds of yelling and cursing.

But the most popular things here are still the three old things - alcohol, women, and... gambling that makes people cry and laugh.

A handsome and elegant man, whose clothes looked gorgeous but the fabrics were a bit old, walked into the tavern and walked skillfully straight to the gambling area on the second floor.

"Stop, not just anyone can enter here!"

In order to give customers the best experience, the guard standing at the stairs stopped the man.

"I know the rules, take me to verify my capital!"

"Oh? Please follow me, this respectable gentleman!"

Seeing the man's arrogant expression, the guard put on a smile at this moment.

"Humph!"

I followed the guard into a small house, and a thin, bespectacled, harmless man stood up to greet me.

"Welcome, distinguished guest!"

"Stop talking nonsense and change this money into chips!"

“Ding-dong~!”

The man threw the bag, which he had deliberately flattened and hidden in front of his chest, onto the table. With this action, he looked more balanced.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment!"

The man with glasses smiled and opened the bag to check it quickly.

After being busy for a while, he stood up and walked to the man, handing him a card with both hands.

"There are a total of 574 Golden Sirens, all of which have been exchanged for chips. This is your number plate, please keep it!"

"Ah."

The man nodded, took the card with an anxious look on his face, and turned to leave the room.

"Please take care, guest!"

After bowing respectfully, the man with glasses stood up with a hint of disdain on his face.

'You haven't even wiped the mud off your shoes. You're just another idiot who wants to get rich!'

...

"Bang~!"

"Fuck! You're kidding me. I didn't win a single time out of ten!"

The man kicked over a chair, jumped onto the table and pounced on the dealer, and the chips were swept all over the floor by his series of actions.

"Tell me! Where did you hide the magnet?"

"Woo~! Guest... Guest... I... I didn't..."

"It's not you! You damn tavern, give me back my gold coins!"

Seeing this scene, the gentlemen and ladies who were avoiding it showed no anger at all. Instead, they had smiles and expectations on their faces.

After all, compared to watching others win money, such a scene of losing one's defenses, losing one's composure, and being furious makes people feel more happy.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Several tall and strong men pushed through the crowd with angry faces. Their skins tattooed with various sea beasts made them look even more sinister.

"you..."

"Bang~!"

"what!!!"

The thugs slapped the man on the head without any hesitation. The man let go of the dealer in pain, and then the thugs carried him away.

"mine..."

"Bang~!"

The man's cry was interrupted by the thugs' fists before he could even utter a cry.

"I'm sorry to bother you all. I'll pay for all the drinks tonight. Please enjoy yourselves!"

"Wow~!"

When the person in charge came out to apologize, the guests in the venue applauded.

As glasses of drinks were served, the atmosphere became lively again.
