Legends of Runeterra

"Hoo~!"

Giles breathed a sigh of relief, folded the letter and put it away carefully.

"Thank you, Li En. Thanks to you for taking care of Shyvana during this period!"

"I... Hehe~! It's nothing. This is what I should do."

After hesitating for a moment, Li En changed his words and admitted it directly, not wasting Shyvana's kindness.

After all, apart from the more than one month she was missing after meeting Fiddlesticks, Li En did a good job in arranging Shyvana.

"Uncle Giles, you've been exhausted from the journey. How about I arrange for you to take a rest first?"

"No need. Didn't you say in your letter that there are a dozen children with magical talents? Let me go meet them!"

"Well...Okay, uncle, this way please."

Taking Giles downstairs, the children were in class. Giles looked through the glass wall of the classroom. Li En felt the other party's magic power moving slightly, casting an unknown magic.

As someone who was able to escape from the legendary dragon Iva, regardless of luck, Giles is undoubtedly quite capable, and his strength is firmly at the heroic level.

"Oh my god! Li En, you didn't rob all the students from some top magic academy, did you?

The talents of these children are amazing, especially that girl. I have never seen such a talented person!"

Looking at the children with their backs to them, Giles pointed at Riel's back with a look of shock.

"Haha~! Don't worry about this, uncle. These children are orphans rescued from the Black Magic Academy.

Furthermore, the means I arranged are very secretive. As long as we don’t publicize it, the academy and the forces behind it will not be traced.”

"Dark Magic School..."

Giles looked at Li En and nodded meaningfully.

"Li En, you did a great job. We really can't let these children's talents be wasted!"

As early as their first meeting, Giles had a rough guess about Li En's identity from the respect shown by the Noxian soldiers.

Now, among all the regions and countries, Noxus is the only one that has the strength and the idea to establish a black magic academy.

Giles felt relieved that in such a brutal and bloodthirsty environment, Li En, who was in a high position, could still have such compassion.

"Haha~! Uncle Giles, let me take you to visit the Japanese industry again."

"Okay, I'll do a survey of these children tonight and develop appropriate courses based on their progress!"

"Uh... so soon? I thought you would rest for a few more days, and I'll take you around the Twin Cities."

"I have been in Shuangcheng for a long time before. It doesn't matter whether I visit it or not. The key is that these children are talented and we must cultivate them quickly. Otherwise, every day wasted is irresponsible to them!"

"Okay uncle, you are a professional, I will listen to you!"

...

Afterwards, Li En took Giles to visit the main departments of Hefeng Industries.

Renata, Vander, and other responsible persons also knew Giles, and each of them was either very skilled or very intelligent. They were all very respectful and polite to Giles, who was personally shown around by Li En.

It was almost noon and we were planning to welcome Giles, but he couldn't resist seeing so many talented people in front of him and went straight to meet Riel and the others.

After Li En introduced the new teacher to the children, Giles sent him away with the excuse that "Li En, you are busy and don't need to accompany us."

Li En naturally would not disturb the middle-aged man's enthusiasm for work, as his "teacher-like" attribute was greatly aroused, and turned back to the top floor.

"Hoo~!"

Zeli sighed softly and leaned back in the comfortable specially customized chair.

Since she no longer needed to use work as an excuse to fool her family, Zeli finished her work early this morning.

Earlier, Li En personally took Giles away, and was noticed by Zeli.

Although she couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but seeing Giles and Li En talking easily and comfortably, Zeli could tell that the other party's identity was not simple.

Looking at the clock on the wall, more than twenty minutes had passed since lunch time.

"Since Li En has a distinguished guest, he probably won't have time to have lunch with me. I'd better go eat first."

As she thought of this, Zeli swung her little feet wrapped in black stockings and lightly stepped on the ground. After trying a few times, she found the shoes she had thrown away, put them on, and stood up.

"Buzz~~!"

"Hmm? Old...Leen!"

"Good afternoon Zeli, sorry I'm late, let's go, let's eat together!"

"Okay, Lee...Lee En!"

The two came to Li En's office. The dishes had already been placed on the table, but this time, the tableware was all placed on the same side.

Ze Li glanced at Li En out of the corner of her eye, and was pulled to sit down without saying a word under his gentle smile.

"That person this morning was Mr. Giles, the wizard I specially invited to teach Riel and the others.

Don’t be fooled by his appearance of a decadent middle-aged man, he is the one who successfully escaped from the pursuit of a legendary dragon! "

"This... is so amazing!?"

“Come, try this, the sea fish specially shipped from the Blue Flame Islands.

The chef has already removed the bones, so feel free to eat as much as you want. "

Watching the snow-white fish in front of her being picked up with the cutlery popular in Ionia, called 'chopsticks', Zeli swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened her mouth.

The waters surrounding the Twin Cities are all affected by Zaun's alchemical poison, and fish in the sea must go through multiple processing steps before they can be eaten.

What you end up with is more like meat paste with a very strange taste than fish meat.

It's nothing like the steamed fish in front of me, which is snow-white with distinct textures.

"what about the taste?"

"Yeah, it's delicious!"

"Haha~!"

Li En continued to pick up a few dishes, and Ze Li ate them one by one. Her fair little face was quietly flushed as if she was drunk.

In the office where only the two of them were, in this intimate and ambiguous atmosphere, Zeli's courage gradually grew.

The steak on the fork was covered with sauce. Zeli put one hand under it to prevent the sauce from falling on her clothes, and then handed it to Li En's mouth.

"Li En, you should try this too."

"Hmm? A bit weird?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Is the steak bad?"

"No, it tastes better than before!"

Ze Li, who was originally looking at Li En nervously, was stunned. Facing his smiling gaze, she felt an electric shock-like feeling from her heart to every part of her body.

"Woo~!"

The girl subconsciously shrank her neck and let out a cute whimper.

Li En put his right hand on Ze Li's shoulder and leaned forward slightly.

...

After a lunch that took a little longer than usual, the maids cleared away the plates and served two cups of tea.

After taking a sip, Li En looked at Ze Li, who was sitting opposite him specifically to keep the secret in front of outsiders.

"Zeli."

"Ah! What...what happened, Li En?"

"I asked Uncle Giles to develop some methods for you to train your magic power. They will probably be finished tomorrow afternoon. Remember to pick them up before you get off work."

“Okay… okay Lee En!

Um...it's nothing, I...I'll leave first!"

Before Li En could reply, Ze Li stood up and walked away quickly in her high heels.

Li En took another sip of tea, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
