Legends of Runeterra

In the afternoon, after reporting to Hilda, she gave Li En the relevant information she had collected.

The matter is simple. Du Kecao has been a little too much in the spotlight recently, and Katarina happened to leave the Immortal Fortress at this time.

The hostile nobles hiding behind the scenes planned to use her as a raft to warn Du Kecao.

Li En put his weapons and equipment into his magic pocket, mounted his horse, and headed west.

...

The next day, Ms. Iris came to find Little Apple excitedly with her textbooks, but was confused when she saw the empty room.

When she asked the servant, she found out that he didn't know either. Li En didn't give her teacher any explanation.

When she learned from Hilda the reason why Li En left, a layer of frost appeared on her beautiful face.

"I need to teach you what it means to respect your teachers!"

...

After replacing the tired horse at the post station, Li En continued on his journey without stopping and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Kalila Plain on the afternoon of the third day.

From afar, a huge black stone gate stands on the road.

That is the iconic building that Noxus will build after conquering a land - Noxtora.

The solemn and majestic building declares the power of the Noxian Empire to every passerby.

In addition to the two most powerful countries in Valoran, Noxus and Demacia, there are many small countries between the two countries.

As a military buffer zone, most of the wars between the two took place within the territories of these small countries.

Today it was "liberated" by Demacia, and the next day it was conquered by Noxus. It can be said that the two big countries are showing off, and only the small country is getting beaten.

Yesterday he was the king, wearing his crown and acting domineeringly, but today his whole family was hung neatly in a row. This kind of thing is quite common.

In order to survive in this war-torn land, civilians have already figured out a unique way to survive.

For the price of three silver coins, Li En obtained the latest military movement map from a man who looked like a refugee.

After storing the horse, Li En looked at the map and began to search for traces.

...

Kalila is known as a plain, but the actual terrain is more like mountains and hills, and the trees are more than ten meters tall.

Under the cover of dense tree canopy, the jungle is very dark even during the day. This environment is simply an assassin's paradise.

Activating [Blade of Night], Li En's figure blended into the shadows and moved silently.

"If there wasn't a traitor, Katarina would have completed her mission and come to Shurima to find me!"

Li En thought about it in his mind while looking for the special mark used for communication during assassin training.

A few hours later.

"Yeah! Found it!"

Li En wiped the root of a forked tree crown with his hand, and a slight scratch appeared.

When the first mark was found, more and more marks were discovered, and the traces became fresher and fresher, but Li En's progress became slower and slower.

Looking at the camp in the distance through the treetops, Li En, who had learned a lot of military knowledge, took a quick glance and judged that there were about three hundred people in the camp.

In terms of organization, this level is at most a scout battalion.

Even if there was a traitor who reported the incident, it wouldn't have taken Catalina so long to get entangled.

After confirming again that the mark stayed here, Li En was not in a hurry to find Katarina. He did not want to disrupt the other party's efforts.

It is already dark, and when the night is quiet, Katarina, the target of the mission, and the traitor will all appear.

-----------------

The millipede crawled across her forearm, causing an itch, but Catalina ignored it.

I originally thought that they were hiding in some dirty environment for assassination.

It was the work of a low-level assassin. A truly skilled assassin would leave calmly and without making a mess after slitting the opponent's throat.

Now, lying in a pile of leaves rotting due to stagnant water, Catalina felt no wavering in her heart.

Because she had to complete a mission, obtain permission, and go to another continent to rescue a fool, a guy who was so stupid that he got lost in Shurima.

When I find him, I will stab him hard!

Of course, she would definitely avoid vital points, and as an assassin, it was not easy for her to do that.

Catalina collected her thoughts and carefully observed the camp out of the corner of her eye.

This was a mission that should have been completed long ago, but due to the betrayal of an insider, Katarina only killed the substitute the first time she took action.

The night she returned, the enemy attacked the camp with soldiers.

The man was wearing strange-looking armor, and his whole body was wrapped in the armor. He was like a mad adult dragon lizard, crushing everything in sight.

Except for her, the other dozen people all died, and she was also seriously injured by the opponent's attack.

If it weren't for the healing orb given by Li En that constantly healed her wounds and restored her strength, she might have fallen into the hands of the enemy long ago.

She did not choose to give up the mission after escaping, because she knew that she could not wash away the shame with the other party's blood.

Not only would he be unable to go to Shurima to find someone, but he might even lose his life.

To this end, she followed the team, waiting for the moment when they relaxed.

Looking at the camp in the distance, she had a hunch that tonight, she would be able to thrust the sharp blade into the opponent's neck!

...

In the tent in the center of the camp, Demetrius looked at the broken necklace in his palm and missed his hometown in the far west, where he would never be able to return.

'Demeter, go!'

His girlfriend's dying cry seemed to still echo in his ears, and Demeter could not help but hold the necklace tightly.

"Those liars!"

A cold and resentful voice came out from between his teeth, and Demeter's eyes flashed with surging anger.

"It seems I came at the wrong time?"

A frivolous voice came from the door. Demeter turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant standing there with a smile.

"Where, Mr. Rei, please take a seat!"

The middle-aged man walked casually to the table, and seeing the necklace that Demeter had not put away, he put away his smile and said, "Are you still thinking about that?"

Demeter did not answer, but carefully put the necklace back into his arms.

"Okay! My friend, as long as you cooperate with me to catch that woman, your wish will naturally come true!"

"Humph! If you hadn't said that I couldn't cripple her, I would have caught her long ago!"

"That can't be helped. This is an order from the higher-ups! But I have good news this time. The plan has changed. It doesn't matter if she is disabled or dead. Let her stay in Kalila Plains forever!"

"Really?"

"Of course! And the intelligence says that she has not left yet and is still looking for an opportunity to kill you!"

"Humph, you really don't know how to live or die. I will prepare tonight and fish her out!"

"Haha! I believe you, my friend!"

"Let's stop being friends. I can't be friends with people like you who betray your own people!"

"I am so sad to hear you say that, my future colleague, Demeter of the Secret Silver City, the once brave and fearless pioneer!"

Demeter's heart tightened and he immediately held down his weapon, but the next second it was gently covered by Rei's hand.

"Don't be nervous, I have the same experience as you!"

The words with a strong accent from his hometown made Demeter look up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
