Legends of Runeterra

The morning light filtered into the room through the window. Li En looked at the sleeping Sindra and reached out his hand to gently stroke her face.

Although she talks very tough, in fact, Syndra's body has been in a dormant state all the time, and she has not yet completely controlled the power of darkness, which makes her ambitious and her defense weak, and she is far from comparable to Karma.

Leaving the room quietly, Li En went all the way to the restaurant.

"Morning, Karma, Irelia."

"Good morning, Lee En."

"Good... Good morning, Li En..."

Irelia greeted him shyly and stuttered. She went to call Syndra to come for dinner this morning, but found that her door was ajar and no one was there.

When she arrived outside Li En's door, she heard two different breathing sounds in the room through the door, and Irelia understood everything.

Without disturbing the two of them, he left quietly.

"Li En, I don't know if Sindra told you yesterday that I will teach her some cultivation knowledge next."

“Well, she told me, I’ll trouble you next, Karma.

There won't be a better person in all of Ionia to teach her than you."

"Nothing. Syndra is a rare talent in Ionia. Now that she is willing to accept guidance, I will naturally take the lead.

By the way, regarding the recent news about the 'Golden Demon' that is spreading all over Ionia, Li En, you were also involved, right?"

"What? 'Golden Demon'!?"

Irelia opened her eyes slightly and looked at Li En with curiosity.

Although Irelia was still young when the Golden Demon was causing chaos, and Navoli Province was far away from Zhiyun Province, Irelia was still familiar with the name of this terrifying guy who could be called a humanoid devil.

"That's right, but I only provided a tiny bit of help. It was mainly the brothers Shen and Jie who did the work."

"Leen, can you tell me about it?"

"Of course, I first met with Jie at the port of Zhiyunnia..."

...

Outside a country town in the Zhiyun Province of Ionia, a thin man wearing a dark yet colorful robe slowly walked over.

She has dark green, slightly curly hair, soft facial features, and the peculiar dark blue makeup around her eyes, giving off a gloomy and indifferent temperament.

Lukai Hui, once the next heir of Gouya Temple, was a genius with amazing talents in magic and art.

He was also the one who was deceived by the 'Golden Demon' Kada Jin and whose Gouya Temple was destroyed, leaving him alone.

As for why he was spared by Jhin and why he kept punishing evil people.

Although Hui doesn't want to admit it, there is indeed a part in his heart that is influenced by Jin.

In the gaps between the flames of the burning temple, Hui seemed to see colorful lightning flashing in the air, and everything alive in his body was flowing out like blood.

Horrifying, wonderful, indescribable...real darkness, the power of destruction, corruption and torture contained in it, made Hui tremble all over.

Finally, after burying the monks of the temple, Hui, filled with anger and shame, used his magic to wander around Ionia over the years, punishing the most evil people.

"The darkness of human nature is inevitable, but I...will never become like you..."

Hui, who had been rushing all the way here, was muttering to himself in his heart, and strode towards the only hotel in the town.

In order to prevent more tragedies from happening, Hui is about to set off immediately after replenishing food.

"Oh, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. That damn guy shouldn't have been put in jail in the first place!"

"That's right. He committed such a serious crime back then, but in the end he was thrown into Touleng Prison without any punishment. What the hell are those elders like?"

"Hello, may I ask which guy in Touleng Prison you are talking about..."

The two drinkers looked at Hui and saw that although he looked a little gloomy, he didn't look like a bad person, so one of them spoke.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the infamous 'Golden Devil'!"

"'Golden Demon'!?"

"That's right. That guy was killed by the Order of the Balance and the Order of the Shadow. His ashes were scattered all over the place. The mask he wore on his face is still in the center of Zhiyunnia. Many people went to see it!"

"Okay, thank you both."

"You're welcome. If you want to go and see it quickly, I heard that many people were so excited that they almost smashed it."

"Well, thanks for the reminder."

After Hui bowed slightly, he turned around and threw a few coins toward the bar.

"Boss, I paid for the drinks for these two gentlemen."

"Ok sir."

"Hahaha~! Thanks a lot, brother!"

"You're welcome."

Nodding at the two of them, Hui gave up the idea of ​​replenishing supplies and just took some dry food from the stall at the door.

"Om~!"

A palette and a paintbrush appeared in Hui's hands. He lightly dipped the brush in the magical ink, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and waved the brush towards the road under his feet.

"Wow~!"

The sound of gurgling water was heard, and under Hui's feet, magic power formed a light blue road with ripples.

Lift your foot and step onto the 'Flying Dye' road, and the next moment.

"Shua~!"

Under the surprised gazes of the crowd at the door, Hui walked out of the town in just a few breaths at a speed far faster than a galloping horse.

"Paintboard and brush, this... this person is..."

"Strange Painter!!!"

The two drinkers looked at each other and smiled with joy at the same time. From now on, they had one more topic to talk about at the table.

...

After solving the problem of the Dream Pool, Li En was able to relax for a while.

During this time, he met Nalin and Xia at Presidium, and then engraved the coordinates to Fukumitsu Island into the self-defense jade tokens each of them had.

From now on, as long as they activate the jade token, they can go to Fukumitsu Island at any time.

As for their relationship with Syndra, Syndra prefers them as vastaya rather than humans.

After listening to Li En's private explanation and Nalin and Xia's active efforts to make friends, the friendship between the three of them improved at a visible speed.

The last one is Akali. As soon as Li En arrived at the gate of the Order of the Balance, he was stopped by his old father Kennen.

After a conversation, in order for Akali to concentrate on receiving the other party's teachings and inheritance, Li En left quietly after leaving a jade token and asking the other party to pass it on.

A week later, he spent most of his time accompanying a few people, while reading the information sent by the puppet Du Kuer.

Li En set out from the southwestern port of Navoli Province and embarked on his journey again.

This time, his target is Freljord, an extremely cold place in Runeterra where even newborn babies are tested and the weak cannot survive.
