Legends of Runeterra

"The sword passed down from generation to generation!?"

Irelia's eyes lit up, then her look hesitated.

"What's wrong? Do you think it sounds bad or inappropriate?"

"It sounds nice! But... this name... am I really worthy of it?

I always feel that such a magnificent name can at least be used by someone like Brother Li En!"

"Haha, there's no need to underestimate yourself, you've already demonstrated your strength!

You can win the competition from Uncle Rito at this age, you are stronger than you think! "

Li En said, looking at Rito beside him.

"Uncle Rito, what do you think?"

"Well, Irelia, being modest and cautious is a good thing, but being overly modest is also a sign of not recognizing your own strength!"

"Yes, father! Brother Li En, from now on I will call them 'Swords of Legend'!"

"Of course, as long as you like the name!"

...

After the competition was over, everyone did not return to the reception room.

At the invitation of Shayna and Irelia, Ahri and Nalin began to visit the Qizan family's manor.

Sett was very interested in the swordsmanship of the Zan family, so he went with Zelos to observe the training of the Zan family disciples.

"Li En, how about walking with me?"

After changing out of his torn clothes, Rito invites Li En.

"Of course, Uncle Rito!"

Li En nodded, and the two of them walked along the tree-lined road.

From time to time, a few members of the Zan family passed by, and when they saw Li En and Rito, they greeted them enthusiastically.

"Li En, how much do you think Ionia will have to pay to repel Noxus' invasion this time?"

"Uncle Rito should know that given the current situation in Ionia, it's going to be difficult!"

"Ah~! A few days ago, I met with my old friends and wrote a joint letter to the 'Palace of Eternal Life'!"

"'The Temple of Eternal Life'? Are you planning to invite this generation's 'Revelation One' to come forward?"

Li En's expression changed and he looked at Rito with some surprise.

"Yes, that's right! Now that the Kinkou sect has closed its doors, the only one who surpasses them in fame and prestige and is recognized by most Ionians is the Lord 'The Apocalypse'!"

"But the previous generations of 'Apocalypse' have never intervened in wars, right? And I heard that this generation of 'Apocalypse' has only been found a few years ago. Will those monks really allow her to come forward?"

Faced with Li En's question, Rito showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

"Yes, just as you said, the monks rejected us without hesitation!"

"So what are you thinking now..."

With a bad feeling rising in his heart, Li En spoke tentatively.

"Li En, you are chosen by the dragon. The people of Ionia naturally trust you, and you have done a great job in stopping Dukor's army before.

So...can you see if you can..."

"cannot!"

Li En refused without hesitation.

"Uncle Rito, I understand your thoughts! But in fact, this land has already chosen its agent. Once the time comes, that agent will lead us to defeat Noxus!"

"Is this...really true?"

"Of course, the spirit of the dragon gave me some revelation! But I don't know where the person is or whether he is a man or a woman!"

"Hoo~!"

Hearing Li En's guarantee with the spirit of the dragon, Rito couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his slightly frowned brows relaxed a little.

"Spirit of Ionia, thank you for your mercy!"

...

After that, Rito never mentioned the topic of letting Li En take the position again, and the two chatted casually and easily.

We walked along the turquoise lakeside until we came to a quaint and unremarkable cottage.

"Uncle Rito, this is..."

"Come with me first!"

Following Rito in, Li En looked around. The house was ordinary, just a very common residence.

I turned to look at Rito, only to see him pressing a few times on the wall on the right.

“Crack~!”

"Boom~!"

A low voice was heard, followed by a slight vibration under the feet.

The ground not far away sank, and a small path that could only accommodate one person appeared in front of Li En.

"This leads to the underground secret room that was built before. The secret treasures of the Zan family that we brought with us during the transfer as well as the accumulations of our ancestors of previous generations are all placed here!"

Before Li En could ask, Rito spoke first.

"Uncle Rito, I..."

"Li En, don't be so hasty to refuse! If you hadn't tried your best to stop us, our Zan family would have been basically wiped out.

These secret treasures are just dead objects. It would be an honor for our Zan family if you could use them!

In the future, as the 'Dragon Lord', you will definitely be targeted by Noxus. If you can use it by then, it will be worth it for us to carefully collect it for so many years!"

Rito looked at Li En with gratitude.

"Compared to them, the lives of the entire Zan family are priceless treasures. Li En, please don't refuse!"

"That...alright! But Uncle Rito, I want to ask if there are any strange weapons that can absorb flesh and blood?"

"Of course not. I have never heard of such a strange and terrifying weapon! Li En, you must be careful and never go looking for such a thing!"

"Yeah, I know!"

As they talked, they walked into the secret passage one after the other.

After walking for about ten minutes with the help of the fluorescent stones embedded in the wall, we finally arrived outside a heavy door.

Rito took out a metal square column with carved patterns from his arms, pushed it into the gap, and then knocked on the door quickly and regularly.

"Boom~!"

The gate slowly rose.

"Okay, come in!"

"Ok!"

Li En walked into the treasure house and found that

The first thing that catches your eye is a row of sword weapons of various styles, lying quietly in glass dust covers.

Then there were various other types of weapons and eight pieces of armor of ancient style.

Rather than a treasure trove, it is more like an arsenal of weapons.

Although there are some heroic-level weapons among these weapons, even if Li En gets them, the increased combat power can only be said to be better than nothing.

Seeing Li En's hesitation, Rito walked to the wall and operated the mechanism after some operations.

“Crack~!”

A platform two meters wide and five meters long rises from the ground.

Through the dust cover made of natural crystal, seven items appeared in front of Li En.

Books, short blades, spear heads... and at the very end, a gray scroll.

"Li En, these seven items are secret treasures that the Zan family has obtained by chance over the generations. Let me introduce them to you!"

"Uncle Rito, can you tell me about the scroll first?"

"This scroll! It was obtained by the previous three generations of the family master when he was young. It is invulnerable to water and fire, swords and guns, and he uses it as a heart-protecting mirror. He once wanted to turn the scroll into a pair of gloves, but found that there was nothing that could be cut or sewn, so he finally gave up.

Other than that, there is nothing special about it.”

Rito said as he stepped forward and opened the dust cover, signaling Lee En that he could check it out at will.

"I see, it is indeed a very strange existence!"

Li En looked at it quietly for a while, then carefully touched it with his fingertips.
