Chapter 314: About to Erupt
Why do classic elder characters like you all look like this? !
When Li Ke heard this, he immediately thought of the time when he ran into Elder Su Ma as soon as he left the house. The elder said to him, "You seem to have a physique that invites trouble."
Then, it was like a curse. Wherever I went, I encountered troubles. Even now, when I go out, I will encounter a lot of ghosts and gods. Then, when I can finally go home, I will be blown here to have a classic Quentin-style adventure - an adventure that is both violent and colorful.
If something unexpected happens when he returns home this time, he can really play the role of Odysseus, the unlucky guy who has been away from home for ten years and almost went back because of a bet made by the gods.
"What do you mean by that..."
Li Ke expressed great dissatisfaction with this.
"You have a quality that attracts turmoil and attention. I am sure that I have never met you, but the first moment I saw you, I knew that you were someone who was worthy of being entrusted with something and who could always accomplish something big."
Nasus looked at Li Ke with burning eyes. He had the feeling that Li Ke was a man who could accomplish earth-shaking things. Whether it was rebuilding an empire similar to the Ascended Empire or unifying the entire Rune Land, it seemed that nothing was impossible for this man.
He even thought that the person in front of him couldn't become a real god.
Li Ke roughly guessed why. It was because of the third option that he had never chosen, the option that allowed others to obtain memory fragments.
The effect will appear even if you don't choose it. If you really choose it...
Li Ke always felt that it would be better for him not to try anything rashly.
"I can no longer tell whether this is a compliment or a curse. So, do you have the ability to contact Ryze? I don't want to run into him when I'm doing something important, so the sooner this matter is resolved, the better."
Li Ke didn't think much of the Rune. Although this power was strong, it was not a good thing to rely on it too much. To put it bluntly, this thing was just like Gundam. It could indeed improve his combat effectiveness, but it was too unreliable.
The World Rune is obviously related to the gods in the sky. He would have to be very careless to use this thing without reservation.
So it would be better to throw this thing to Ryze and recruit an ally with stronger abilities.
"You seem eager to get rid of the rune as soon as possible?"
Nasus was somewhat confused about Li Ke's attitude of wanting the runes to get rid of them as soon as possible. Although these world runes were only icing on the cake for ascenders like them, they were undoubtedly divine objects for mortals that could allow them to master the power to move mountains and seas.
"Yeah, although this thing is indeed very useful, it's obviously also very risky."
Li Ke casually summoned a rune from his chest. Although he could use it, he couldn't master it.
And he always felt that this thing had its own will, which made it even more unreliable.
"No, he won't let anyone contact him, because even when I see the World Rune, I can't help but want to take it for myself. But I know that even if I have this thing, the lost things can't be brought back."
Nasus shook his head, then removed the barrier and fell into complete silence, looking like he didn't want to talk.
Li Ke looked outside the city after hearing this, but didn't say anything. He just waited quietly.
Nasus didn't leave either. It was obvious that he was not at ease with Li Ke, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.
Li Ke casually arranged Sarah on his back and couldn't help but frown. He just tried to use the power of the Conqueror to heal Sarah. With the ability of the Conqueror Rune to repair even the broken Gundam power reactor, it should be very easy to heal her.
But the fact is that Sarah has no intention of waking up.
This made Li Ke couldn't help but think more.
Sarah, like herself, had come into close contact with the void energy, and she was almost killed by the roar, let alone her, a simple annoyance.
“Void…”
While tidying up the other person's red hair, Li Ke wanted to use reality simulation to look at the future, but he immediately stopped his action. If he was attacked by the void creatures again this time, it would be a disaster for the people in this city.
“What a hassle.”
Li Ke simply closed his eyes and sat here waiting for the city lord to prepare what he promised him.
The city lord acted very quickly, or perhaps because of Nasus, he simply did not dare to act slowly. So even though the city had just suffered a disaster, he still managed to quickly put together a very generous gift.
There were three carts full of gold coins and silk, three large carts full of dried meat and food, and a cart full of armor and weapons.
These supplies are enough to arm an army of thirty people. It can be said that the city lord's sincerity is sufficient.
But apart from these, the most expensive things should be the ten girls with spring in their eyes and their faces covered with gauze. Li Ke can see in them the pampered life and the flexibility after physical exercise.
It was obvious that she was either the daughter of the city lord or a slave who was specially kept in captivity and was only responsible for serving the nobleman between the ages of teens and 30 .
And judging by the collars around their necks, it was clearly the latter.
"I forgot that slave trade is still legal in Shurima. Hmm, that's really unpleasant."
Looking at those pitiful girls, Li Ke casually picked up a fruit and started eating it, while Nasus sat there silently looking at him.
But Kara, whom Li Ke had been waiting for, did not enter the city.
Li Ke sighed at this, he knew it would be like this, and waved to the city lord who was kneeling on the side, and Li Ke led the convoy out of the city.
Nasus followed him in silence. No matter how many flattering words the city lord said, the former grand scholar of the empire remained indifferent and had no intention of paying attention to his words.
Nasus turned a deaf ear to the other party's words about reforging the glory of Shurima, and he showed no sign of wavering at all.
This made the city lord very angry.
Not only because Li Ke ignored his olive branch, but also because Nasus was so unkind. Therefore, Li Ke did not say anything else and left the city silently.
Finally, he saw Kara on the sand dune with a worried look on her face.
