Legends of Runeterra

"Huh? Didn't you go get ice cream? Where is it?"

"Hey, sister is late! I ate all of it!"

"Baobao, you'll get a stomach upset if you eat so much!"

"No way! Ice cream will never give me a stomach upset! Lululu, Sister Zayu!"

"Good on you! Li En, put her down now!"

Looking at the arrogant look of Baobao leaning in Li En's arms, Wei felt that her sister's authority was challenged, and her fingers made a crackling sound.

"Brother Li En will never hand me over to you! Don't you think so, Brother Li En!"

Baobao put away his previous arrogance, his blue eyes opened wide, his two little hands tightly grasped Li En's clothes, looking weak and helpless.

"Alright, alright, let's stop messing around. Uncle Vander's stuff hasn't been repaired yet. Let's send it to be repaired first, and we can pick it up when we get home this afternoon!"

Seeing that Li En had given him a way out, Wei nodded in agreement.

Baobao happily rubbed his little head against Li En's chest.

"Li En, if you need something fixed, why not go to my dad's shop! My dad is very good and will definitely be able to fix it for you!"

"Yes, Mr. Colin is really amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Orianna immediately invited Li En, and Caitlin also echoed her.

“I’ve heard of Mr. Colin’s reputation before, but this time I’m only repairing an old stereo, which isn’t difficult, but the damaged parts are very hard to find!

Next week, I will visit Mr. Colin in person next Saturday! Orianna, please go back and tell your father!"

"Yeah! No problem, Dad will definitely have time!" Orianna nodded quickly.

"Okay, it's settled! Then, do you have any recommendations for reliable audio stores?"

The two girls looked at each other, and then Orianna said without hesitation: "Mr. Wallis Werner's audio store!"

Led by the two men, the group rode in a carriage to a street some distance away from the city center.

A storefront nearly ten meters wide, with an exquisite sign hanging at the top - Werner Audio Store.

Through the glass window, Li En can see various types of speakers, from small to large.

...

As a natural magic awakener, Seraphine discovered that she could hear sounds that ordinary people could not hear, which were the more secret and real voices of the soul, soon after she could remember.

Moreover, as he gets older, the effect of this talent becomes more and more obvious.

Thus, the truest side of human nature was revealed to this ignorant girl.

While speaking intimate words, the soul is cursing the other person to die in the next moment.

All these cruel and dark aspects almost made Seraphine collapse.

The Werners consoled their daughter for a long time before they finally learned the truth about her breakdown from her.

The couple are Zaun people who have built an industry in Piltover, which happens to be in the audio industry. After sleepless research, they finally developed a device that can suppress this magical talent to a certain extent.

However, the price of installing energy is relatively expensive. After two years of spending, the Werner Audio Store is getting further and further away from the bustling city center, and its storefront is getting smaller and smaller.

Moreover, this energy is contraband in Piltover and can only be smuggled through Zaun.

As Zaun has been a bit unstable recently, the Werners had no choice but to go there in person.

The couple never told Seraphine about any of this. They didn't want their already poor daughter to bear more pressure.

However, Seraphine, who possessed such an outstanding talent, had already overheard it.

"Dingle bell~!"

Hearing the noise downstairs, Seraphine's body trembled slightly in the quilt, and her heart was very flustered.

"What's going on? Didn't my parents say they wouldn't be back until this evening? Could it be... that there was a thief in the store?"

She staggered to the door of the room and took off the cat-ear headphones, which were the isolation device her parents made for her.

Hold your breath and gently put your ear against the door.

"Brother Li En, this speaker is so weird, ouch!"

"Be careful, Baobao. If you break anything, I'll make you stay and work to pay off your debts. Yeah!"

"Lululu, you are also clumsy, and you are still blaming me, Sister Zayu!"

"It's against you!"

"Wow, Brother Li En, please save me..."

Hearing the noisy but actually warm voices downstairs, Seraphine breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like he's just an ordinary customer!"

"Hello, is anyone here?"

As the shouts rang out, Seraphine's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

"How to do how to do!"

Seraphine clenched her hands and walked around anxiously.

"Oh, right, let me sense it again. If he's a good person, I'll go and receive him! If not, I'll just pretend no one is here!"

Thinking of her parents' exhausted faces from working so hard for her, Seraphine has long longed for a change, at least so that she doesn't have to rely on this device all the time and reduce the financial pressure on her parents.

Now is a good opportunity for those young-sounding voices downstairs.

So, Seraphine plucked up her courage and tried to activate her talent to listen to the voice of the other person's soul.

...

Li En, who was in the shop downstairs, had actually already heard the breathing sound of the person upstairs that changed rhythm several times.

As the other party's breathing stabilized, a faint magical wave came down from upstairs.

Sensing this kind of probing fluctuation, Li En did not act rashly, but just waited quietly for the other party's next move.

...

"Let me see... The first one is very imaginative and eccentric, and seems to be a child.

The second one is passionate and brave yet with a touch of softness, which is not bad.

The third one... eh?"

Seraphine suddenly opened her eyes with a look of surprise on her face.

This was the first time she had sensed failure since she was born, but this abnormal situation aroused her curiosity.

"No, I'll try again!"

Seraphine tried to mobilize more strength and rushed towards the person who had just failed.

"Yeah... got it! But... it's so strange, this feeling... is so comfortable!"

When she used her talent to the fullest, she finally heard the other party's soul voice.

This feeling is just like when Seraphine was a child and her talent was not so strong. She leaned against the window, gazing at the Gate of the Sun in the distance. The gentle breeze caressed her face lightly, and she could hear the sailors' songs, the students' whistles, and the happy laughter of people chatting.

The joy that came from her heart made Seraphine involuntarily mobilize more strength, eager to hear more of the other person's soul.

Until she saw a brilliant purple.

...

"Ahhhh!!!"

A painful scream came from the second floor, and the four women visiting the store suddenly looked upstairs.

Li En suppressed the sudden restlessness of the void in his body, and then rushed to the second floor as fast as he could.
