Chapter 686 Your People Need You More

"Tryndamere, I feel your determination, but please allow me to refuse!"

Looking at Tryndamere who was kneeling on one knee with his head down and quietly waiting for his reply, Li En's expression was also serious.

"Lord Li En?"

"Now, please stand up and look behind you as quickly as possible."

Hearing this, Tryndamere subconsciously stood up and quickly turned his head to look behind him.

After Tryndamere swore allegiance, the children who were playing and the elderly who were still in good spirits all stopped, and their eyes, some clear and some cloudy, were staring at him intently.

When Tryndamere quickly turned around, everyone quickly averted their gazes and pretended to be busy playing.

It’s just that the strange atmosphere is indeed awkward, and you can tell at a glance that it’s awkward.

"Look at their eyes more. They need you more than me right now."

"Lord Li En..."

"It was you who led them through mountains and rivers, gave them hope, and personally led them out of death and cold.

Although Avarosa sheltered their battered bodies, it was you who restored them to their present state, using your spirit and will to fill and sew together the parts of their souls that were lost on that terrible night of massacre."

"..."

Listening to Li En's words, Tryndamere glanced at each of his tribesmen.

Although they all pretended to be busy, with Tryndamere's keen eyesight, he could naturally notice that every member of the tribe was still secretly looking at this side.

"Just take care of yourself and stay with your tribesmen."

"Lord Li En, I..."

"Haha~! Don't think I'll be polite. When I really need you to fight for me, I hope to see more brave and unyielding warriors like you.

Just treat it as my request and order, how about that? "

He looked at each of the tribesmen, then shifted his gaze to Li En's gentle eyes.

"Yes, Master Li En!"

"Well, good, it's about time. I should go and fulfill my promise to Gragas."

"Master Li En, I will give you a ride."

"No need. We bought so much food tonight. Go celebrate with your people. I'm leaving now."

"Master Li En, please take care."

"Papa~!"

Patting Tryndamere's rock-solid arm, Li En smiled and waved to the children and old people in the distance again, then turned and strode away.

"Brother Tryndamere..."

Watching Li En's figure disappear into the distance, Kalando's voice, with a hint of trepidation, sounded from behind.

"Heh! Silly boy, why are you looking at me like that? Come on, prepare dinner with me tonight and have a good meal!"

"Yes, Brother Tryndamere!"

Tryndamere patted Kalandor's thick back, and the two walked towards the longhouse together.

"We have enough supplies now. I won't be going to the festival venue starting tomorrow."

"Brother, what are you going to do..."

"You and the other little guys, get ready. From now until the beginning of spring, I will personally guide your training.

Especially you, Kalando, you are about to become an adult, and your fighting skills can be further improved!"

"Yes, Brother Tryndamere!"

...

The 'Ice Arrow' tavern was more lively than ever tonight. The noisy and heroic sounds of drinking could be clearly heard on the street outside even through the thick wooden door.

Li En walked into the pub, with white hair and blue eyes, and every drinker in front of him made way for him.

Soon, Li En walked through the crowded crowd and came to the bar filled with the wonderful aroma of wine.

Looking at Gragas' huge and strong body, wearing a much smaller sommelier coat, Li En smiled.

His thick fingers were so nimble and precise that he quickly and easily took out bottles of wine from the wine cabinet behind the bar and poured them into the shaker in front of him in an orderly manner.

"Swish, swish, swish~!"

The covered shakers flew into the air one by one.

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The wine rotates and flies as the shaker rotates, making a sound that makes the drinkers swallow their saliva.

“Boom~Boom~Boom~!”

Each cocktail shaker was accurately caught and placed in front of the glasses that had already been placed on the bar by several bartenders.

"Okay, pour it."

"Yes, Master Gragas!"

A few bartenders twisted open their shakers.

"Wow~!"

Wines of different colors flow into the glasses, and the rich aroma fills the tavern.

"Gulu~!"

"Be careful, don't spill a drop on me!"

"Damn it, if I hadn't drunk a few cups in the past two days, I could have bought one now!"

"That's all for tonight. Master Gragas will be mixing cocktails here for the next week. There's a limit of fifty drinks per night. Once they're sold out, they'll be gone!"

The bartender announced loudly, calming the restless crowd a little, and Gragas did not hesitate to take off his ill-fitting bartender jacket and walk out from the bar to join the line of drinkers.

"Good evening Gragas, it looks like drinkers are in for a treat for the next week."

"Mr. Li En? When did you come!?"

"Just now, your bartending skills were calm and elegant, a true master. I don't want to disturb this pleasing scene."

"Hahaha~! Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Li En."

Gragas was very modest in words, but the hearty smile on his face showed that he actually enjoyed Li En's praise very much.

"Come on, Mr. Li En, what would you like to drink? I'll pay for all the drinks tonight!"

"Oh? You lost all your money to..."

Seeing the bartender's jacket a little deformed by Gragas not far away, Li En suddenly realized.

"Hehe~! Mr. Li En, please don't be polite. That black-hearted boss asked me to work for her for a week. I must drink to my heart's content tonight. I must at least drink up half of her wine cellar!"

"In that case, let's not go home until we are drunk."

"Hahaha~! Okay, then I won't be polite, Mr. Li En, watch me drink you under the table!"

"Haha~! As the tavern record holder of Everfrost Harbor's 'Troll's Sap', I'll return the favor to you!"

"Hahaha~! Great, I didn't expect you to be so alcoholic, you're worthy of it!"

Gragas laughed and waved his hand, and the bartenders nearby worked in pairs to carry over two heavy and solid wine barrels.

“Boom! Boom!”

The vibration that hit the floor was the already full barrel of wine.

Li En and Gragas, one is an extremely rare male Iceborn, and the other is a famous brewing master. The two of them were already being noticed by everyone in the tavern.

The exaggerated formation the two of them deployed at this moment immediately attracted everyone to gather around.

"Master, guest, cups for both of you."

There were ten curved ox-horn cups on the shelves, which were one meter long and had a diameter larger than an average person's arm. The two shelves were placed in front of the two men by the two bartenders.

"Then start?"

"please!"
