Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 713 Goodbye Silas

As soon as Tiana took over the city of Mittel, she quickly took the fastest measures to restore order. At the same time, she sorted out the details of what happened in the city and sent them to Xiongdu.

Of course, due to Li En's prior request, Tiana did not mention him in the letter, but only said that the "Winged Guardian" appeared in the world and saved the city of Miter from being ravaged by demons.

...

A few days later, in a top-class courtyard in the city of Mittel.

"Honey, is my action standard?"

"Very standard, my dear. You learn quickly. Now you can walk into the hall of Dawn Fortress with ease."

"Haha~! You taught me well too."

Ashe walked up to Li En and asked to hug him.

"Thank you dear."

"Huh? What's wrong? You want to thank me all of a sudden?"

"As for the so-called demons outside the city this time, it doesn't matter whether I take action or not, right?

It would only take a little effort for Lady Morgana and Mr. Tariq to do so if they wanted to.

You specifically asked me to go there to help with the upcoming alliance between Avarosa and Demacia, right?"

Facing Ashley's gaze, Li En reached out and pinched her smooth and delicate cheek.

"It's just the icing on the cake. Avarosa's alliance with Demacia is actually something they want to see.

At least from now on, we won’t have to dispatch a large number of troops to guard against the enemy before the autumn harvest.”

“Yeah, I understand, and that’s what I want to do.

The ultimate result of pillaging is chaos, and if I want the future of the Freljord to be realized, a better path must be chosen."

"I will accompany you along the way."

"Thanks, dear..."

Just when Li En and Ashe were being affectionate.

"Ahem~!"

"Um... Sorry to bother you."

Tariq, with only a few strips of cloth wrapped around his body, was standing at the door with an awkward look on his face.

"Good day, Mr. Tariq."

Ashe let go of Li En and performed the Demacia etiquette she had just learned.

"Mr. Tariq, you seem to have recovered a lot."

"Yes, Li En, I told you, just call me Tariq."

"Okay, Tariq, are you planning on leaving now?"

"That's right. I didn't tell you before, but I'm actually a person who has endured the 'Stone Crown Punishment'. I was chosen by the Giant God to come back this time, and I also plan to meet my old friend.

Without his help, I wouldn't even have had the chance to be sentenced to the Stone Crown."

At this point, Tariq recalled some scene and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

"Well, where are you going, Tariq?"

"My old friend is at the border of Demacia."

"Well, I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you, my friend. It has been one of my greatest honors to fight alongside you."

"Me too."

Taric bowed slightly to Li En and Ashe, and then his figure turned into stardust and disappeared.

"Dear, then we..."

"Dong dong dong~!"

"Lord Li En!"

Looking at the Fearless Vanguard standing respectfully at the door, a trace of helplessness flashed across Ashe's face.

"Come in, what can I do for you?"

"My lord, Marshal Tiana has found a remnant that may be the site of the summoned demon, so I would like to ask you to go over and help check it out."

"Is that so? Okay, I'll be right there."

Even after destroying the pollution left by Fiddlesticks in the souls of the people, Li En and Morgana teamed up to explore the city of Mittel and the surrounding dozens of kilometers several times, and only stopped after confirming that there was nothing abnormal.

But now that he heard that there was a remaining summoning scene, Li En naturally would not stand idly by.

"My dear, you take a rest first, I'll be back soon."

"Well, go ahead and I'll review my etiquette knowledge."

Leaving the courtyard, Li En boarded the carriage that had been parked outside and drove forward.

...

Under the leadership of the Fearless Pioneer, Li En passed through layer after layer of guards who were on high alert and arrived at a huge underground space.

Tiana, Barrett, and a group of mages led by Silas were all present.

After the demon attack, Barrett chose to go to Xinxiongdu, and then stayed to help Mittel City restore order.

Li En looked past them and saw a huge magic circle not far away, which was temporarily built with magic-forbidden stones and had a diameter of more than fifty meters.

The withered corpses of humans and various animals were placed messily in the magic circle. The dark red and black lines showed what kind of liquid was used to draw the magic circle.

"You're here, Lee En."

"Lee En boy!"

"Lord Li En."

Nodding to Tiana and the other two, Li En strode to the front of the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, he calmly scanned the magic circle.

"No problem, the magic-forbidden stone can be removed and the magic circle can be destroyed directly.

As for the culprit, I think it is them.”

Li En raised his hand, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed. In the center of the magic circle, nine corpses in gorgeous clothes were curled up on the ground in a strange and miserable manner.

“These guys…”

Barrett roughly recognized the families represented by the remaining patterns on the corpses' clothes, and an uncontrollable anger flashed across his face.

"Humph! You are greedy and arrogant, you deserve to die!"

With a cold snort, Tiana's expression was extremely stern, and only softened a little when she looked at Li En.

"Thank you for coming, Li En. I have to deal with these beasts as soon as possible."

"Well, bring more people and be careful."

"I will."

Nodding, Tiana turned and strode away.

"See you later, Li En."

"Okay, Uncle Barrett."

Soon, except for the guards stationed here, more than half of the people present were gone, leaving only Li En and a group of mages led by Silas.

"Long time no see, Silas."

After a moment of hesitation, Silas took the initiative to step forward.

The gray-blue eyes looked at Li En, the former resentment and rage disappeared, replaced by calmness with a hint of fatigue.

His unkempt hair and beard were now neatly trimmed, and the magic-suppressing stone chains on his wrists had been removed and remade into two chains to hang around his waist.

"Master Li En, long time no see."

"Well, you want to talk? Just you and me."

"...Yes sir."

"Well, let's go somewhere else."

Li En looked at the mages beside him.

"Everyone, please take a rest for a while."

"Yes, Lord Li En."

Although Li En's specific identity was unclear, judging from the attitude of Tiana and others towards him, the mages saluted and left one after another.

"Come on, follow me."

"Yes, my lord."

...

Silas walked along the way in silence, looking down at his feet.

Soon, Li En and the others arrived at a pavilion that overlooked most of the city of Mittel.
