Chapter 253 Story
"You bastard!"
Lemuel rushed out in a rage, holding a cane in his hand, as if he wanted to hit the little yellow-haired guy, but looking at the distance between them, he angrily threw the cane at Ezreal.
"Hey! I can't hit it!"
Ezreal suddenly lowered his head, and the staff flew out from above his head and flew towards Li Ke. He made a face at Lemuel and prepared to run away.
Neither of them noticed Li Ke.
Li Ke gently grasped the flying cane and lightly hooked the calf of Ezreal who wanted to run, making the little yellow-haired boy fly directly.
He gently spun his staff, and Ezreal, whose calf was hooked, spun twice in the air, and then he easily put him on the ground, allowing him to face his uncle.
Ezreal, feeling dizzy, spun twice on the ground and faced his uncle again, but he was still staggering and it seemed that he needed to spin one more time.
Li Ke casually tapped him on the head, causing him to stop and cover his head, then handed the cane to Lemuel who had hurried over.
But who knew that Lemire was not polite at all. After getting his staff back, he hit Ezreal, who didn't understand what was going on, hard, causing him to squat on the ground with his head in his hands.
"You little bastard!"
Lemuel looked at Ezreal hatefully, then his expression suddenly turned into joy and he looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke took the snack basket from Mei Mu who was secretly eating snacks, and retaliated against him for asking her to take the snacks, trying hard to act as if nothing had happened.
Because that was just too embarrassing.
"A little gift."
Lemire didn't care about such a trivial matter. He looked at the snacks handed over by Li Ke and saw that the snacks were different from the Piltover style, so he smiled.
"Oh! Thank you so much! But there's no need to be so polite..."
As he spoke, he walked towards his room and invited Li Ke to go in with him. Ezreal wanted to sneak away, but was grabbed by the collar by a sturdy maid, so he had to go back obediently.
"Come to think of it, what is the matter that you want to see me about this time? Have you finished writing the manuscript?"
After pouring a cup of tea for Li Ke, Lemire asked curiously. He had planned to visit Li Ke again in a few days to see if he had finished writing the manuscript, but he didn't understand why Li Ke came to him so quickly.
Shouldn't ordinary writers spend a lot of time writing?
"I'm just here to visit and I plan to invite your family to dinner at my house."
Li Ke invited Lemuel. This was a Western society, so he planned to follow Western rules.
"Of course! It's my honor! But I have something to ask you, I wonder if I can..."
Lemuel spoke in surprise, but immediately he remembered something and took out a notebook from the table on the side.
"Please go ahead."
"Okay! May I ask what the origins of the magic crystals called Kunlong in Ionia are? I have looked up a lot of information, but they all say nothing about the origins of Kunlong. I want to know their history. I wonder if you know anything about this."
Li Ke was stunned. If he asked others about this matter, they might not know it, but as he had the inheritance of the Sect of Balance, he actually knew about it.
Because the binding magic of Kunlong was created by the Order of the Balance. To a certain extent, it is precisely because the Order of the Balance helped create the binding magic of Kunlong that their status is so high.
"This is nothing, but it is a very interesting story. Kunlong, thousands of years ago..."
Li Ke slowly recounted the story, saying that the establishment of Kunlong was not harmonious, and the relationship between humans and Vastaya at that time was not very good. Because the Vastaya at that time were closer to the materialization of magic, restraining magic was equivalent to restraining them.
However , their intermarriage requires humans, and many Vastaya need humans to reproduce.
Therefore, in order to allow fragile humans to live with them, and because some weak Vastaya could not stand the high concentration of magical elements and would automatically leave the real world, Kunlong was successfully established.
But...
There was a lot of bloodshed.
Most of the Vastaya who opposed it did not see the spring of the following year.
Lemire listened with fascination to every story Li Ke told about Kunlong, and he believed more and more that Li Ke was a learned man from Ionia, who came to Piltover to seek refuge because of the recent turmoil in Ionia.
The narrator Li Ke also expressed some regrets, saying that the humans of Ionia do not lack the spirit of progress, but unfortunately, this spirit is usually polluted by interests.
Now, only those who have inherited the tradition of the Order of the Balance, its disciples, and some elders know these stories and the bloodiness hidden behind them.
However, while telling these stories, Li Ke discovered that Ezreal, who had been clamoring to leave before, quietly walked out and secretly listened to the stories he was telling, and the expression on his face fluctuated with the plot of the story.
But the most fascinated one was Lemuel. At the beginning, he was still able to take notes, but later, he listened with tears in his eyes, and the pen in his hand became a doll that he hugged subconsciously.
After Li Ke finished telling the general story, he wiped his tears and his voice was a little choked.
"What a touching story. Ionia has so many great people. I really want to go on adventures with them..."
Having said that, the original adventure was suddenly interrupted and turned into a light cough and an awkward twist of words.
"...long conversations at night."
Because of the difference in words, Lemire forced the word "adventure" in Piltover language to be read as "night", which made his words become somewhat ambiguous.
It seemed that he also noticed that his nephew was coming.
"Actually, if I could, I would."
Li Ke smiled, picked up the black tea brought by the housekeeper and took a sip.
"But I still can't imagine that there are people in this world who can split mountains with one sword, and there are god-like warriors who hold weapons that require more than a dozen people to hold, and can also destroy mountains with one blow."
Lemuel wiped his tears and expressed his doubts, but when he put down his handkerchief, he suddenly remembered something and showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"No... In fact, could it be that the sudden freezing of the Piltover Bay was also caused by the power of people like those god warriors?"
ah?
Li Ke was at a loss.
Didn't he unblock it?
