Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 249 I love you, so I also love your people

After seeing off Valmao and Kai, Li En turned to look at the Lorant tribe who had been waiting for a long time above the deep pit.

Under Jin Hong's domineering protection, Li En was free of dust and put on the shirt tied around his waist again.

"Shua~!"

A figure flashed, and Li En came in front of the Vastayas.

"Lee En~!"

"Well, it's okay."

Li En gently hugged Xia who walked forward and turned to face everyone.

"That was a mortal whose body was corroded. I have suppressed that evil being. After he goes back to say goodbye to his family, he will go to Presidium to be purified. Don't worry!"

"Huh! I see. Thank you, Master Li En!"

"With the power to subdue demons and a kind heart, Lord Li En is a blessing to Ionia!"

"Lord Li En is unparalleled in wisdom and courage. We respect you and love your teeth!"

Amid the praises of the vastayas, Sava slowly walked forward.

"Lord Li En..."

"Wait, Mr. Savoie."

Facing Sava's confused and somewhat panicked eyes, Li En gave a gentle smile and tightened his arms around Xia's waist.

"If you don't mind, just call me Li En!"

"this..."

Sava looked at his daughter beside him. Xia turned her head away with a slightly red face, but her body leaned towards Li En again.

"Haha~! Li Enda...Okay Li En, I understand!"

Sava straightened his clothes.

"Li En, on behalf of all the members of the Lorant tribe, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you!"

"Thank you, Master Li En!"

Upon seeing this, the other tribal members also bowed down and kowtowed.

One of the golden figures hesitated for less than half a second before also saluting.

Sava had just bowed halfway when Li En raised his hand to support him.

"Mr. Savoie, these are what I should do!

Everyone, please stand up quickly. We are all fighting against evil, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony!"

As Li En waved his hand, invisible energy lifted everyone up.

"Father, we are all exhausted. Let's go back and rest, and bring our tribesmen back with us!"

"Okay, okay, Xia is right, let's go back quickly!"

Sava smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Facing the gazes of many tribesmen, Xia inevitably felt a little shy, but instead of letting go of Li En's arm, she hugged him tightly again.

Li En had no objection to this. He turned his eyes and found a golden figure in the corner.

Following Li En's line of sight, Xia also discovered the other party.

"Eh!? Is this person also a member of the Lorant tribe? How come I have never seen him before!?"

Vastaya, who was standing next to the golden figure, patted the other person's shoulder upon hearing the voice.

“Xia, this is a member of the tribe who just came back from outside a few days ago. He had been active in the human town before.

Even though he is a dancer, his magic power is very strong and strange!"

With the encouragement of the tribesman, the golden figure slowly stepped forward.

"War Dancer - Luo, I greet Lord Dragon Lord!"

"Well, hello, Luo, thank you for rushing towards the arrow that the evil demon shot at Xia."

Hearing Li En's words, Luo's blue eyes lit up slightly, then dimmed again.

"Master Li En, you are too kind. At my speed at that time, I couldn't catch up with that arrow at all."

"It doesn't matter whether you can catch up or not. What matters is your actions. I will remember this favor!"

Li En said, taking out a token and handing it to Luo.

“Take it. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, take the token with you to Presidium.

Right now in Ionia, my face is still quite useful, and after a while, when the news of Presidium's victory spreads, it will be even more useful."

"This...Thank you, Master Li En!"

Luo hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed and respectfully accepted the token with both hands.

As Luo, who had been active in human towns before, was very clear about the reputation of the 'Shenlong Zun' who rose like a meteor.

He was just stopping by to take a look at the tribe, and would continue to wander around the town in the future.

With this token, if he is not afraid of Li En getting angry, no one will dare to gossip about him, a Vastaya, even if he walks sideways on the road.

"Well, you're welcome."

Li En nodded to Luo and took out another token that was more simple and exquisite, and faintly exuded a sense of majesty.

Come to Sava and hand the token to him.

"Mr. Sava, if the tribe has any problems in the future, even if they have to deal with the Temple of Shoji, the Order of the Kinkou, the Shadow Stream, and even the Apocalypse, they will not stand idly by for my sake!"

Hearing these names of well-known sects in Ionia, especially the last one "Apocalypse", Sava and other Vastaya's eyes widened.

"Father, what are you still standing there for?"

Looking at the dazed Sava, Xia urged him a little embarrassedly.

"Ah! Oh! Thank you, Li En!"

"We are all children of the First Born Land. We are one family. Uncle Sava, you don't have to be polite!"

"Haha~! Li En, you're right, we're a family!"

Sava nodded with a smile, and carefully took the heavy token into his arms.

An inexplicable sense of peace emerged in the hearts of the members of the Lorant tribe, including Sava.

Xia, who was standing by, lowered her head slightly as she listened to their conversation.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Li En followed the Lorant tribe to their homeland.

...

At the cordial invitation of a group of Vastaya, Li En stayed to attend the dinner specially prepared for him.

Listening to the tribal elites at the dinner party praising Li En's fighting skills and his stunning appearance.

The girls of marriageable age in the Lorant tribe all looked at Li En with more or less curiosity, and some of the bolder ones even wanted to contact Li En under various pretexts.

However, facing the purple figure that was sticking closely to Li En, the girls' little tricks were ultimately shattered.

At night, Xia helped the drunk Li En to the room prepared for him.

"Really? You can't drink, but you insist on being strong!"

Gently placing Li En on the bed, Xia stood up, wrung out a towel, and carefully wiped Li En's face.

"Crack~!"

Li En held Xia's hand and opened his eyes, his dark eyes sparkling with spirit.

"Thank you, Xia, but I just wanted to spend more time with you while I was drunk."

He exerted a little force with his arms, stood up and hugged Xia in his arms.

"If you want to be alone, just say so. Don't pay attention to their toasts."

"That won't do. They came to express their sincere gratitude to me, and I don't want to disappoint them. Most importantly..."

"What's most important?"

"They are your people. I love you, so I love your people too!"
