Legends of Runeterra

In the afternoon, Li En activated [Dimensional Walking] to send the tired and sleepy Caitlin back to the bedroom of Gilaman Manor. Then he took the carriage again and drove to the Lemire Museum.

Just as I was about to follow the crowd to line up, a surprised shout came from behind me.

"Ahaha! Lee Eun!"

"Haha~! Good day, Ezreal."

Looking at Ezreal, who was dressed like an explorer, carrying a large bag in both hands and a bunch of strange tools on his back, a smile appeared on Li En's lips.

"You bought a lot of things today. Are you planning to go out for an adventure?"

"Hehe~! That's right!"

Facing Li En's outstretched hand, the sweaty Ezreal didn't hesitate and directly handed the big bag in his hand to the other party.

Seeing the thing he had barely lifted being taken away by Li En with one hand as if it were nothing, Ezreal's eyes flashed with envy.

He had previously visited Hefeng Industry with the intention of asking for advice on the secrets of training, and at that time he happened to see Li En teaching Mondo more profound "medical skills".

Looking at the super macho man with explosive muscles, standing three or four meters tall, being beaten beyond recognition by Li En's punches, he learned from the enthusiastic and honest man Zack standing nearby that this was their daily sparring.

Ezreal decisively erased the thought of asking for advice from his mind.

After that, when Li En proposed to borrow the Nazuk gauntlet, he took it off and handed it to the other party, then ran away.

Accompanied by Ezreal, the two skipped the line and went straight into the Lemire Museum, coming to a room of several hundred square meters filled with books and maps and cut-out notes on the walls.

"Bang~!"

Ezreal took off the heavy backpack and faced Li En with his arms open, his face filled with pride.

"Li En, welcome to my adventure house. Every great adventure starts from here!"

"Pah pah pah~!"

Li En, who placed the package at his feet, clapped in cooperation.

"That's great. It seems that for every expedition you collected information from ancient books, made plans, and finally set out on the adventure, right?"

"Absolutely right! Li En, you really understand me!"

Ezreal smiled with joy and looked at Li En with excitement.

"As expected, you are definitely my best adventure partner in the future!"

"Hehe~! Then my best adventure partner Ezreal, there seems to be no chair to sit on in this room?"

"Ah this..."

Ezreal looked around and saw that everywhere he looked was filled with books of varying thicknesses.

To be honest, there is no place to sit down, not even a place to put your feet.

"Sorry, sorry, give me a minute!"

Quickly and flexibly landing among the stacked books while constantly moving his hands, Ezreal quickly cleared a path leading to the tables and chairs not far away.

"Come on, Li En, please sit down!"

Ezreal shook the blond hair on his forehead that was less noticeable after being groomed, then he took out a set of tea set from somewhere and poured two cups of tea for the two of them.

"Thank you."

Li En picked up the teacup and took a sip, then took out an item that Ezreal was very familiar with from his magic pocket.

"Here, I'll give you the gauntlet back!"

"Okay, Li En, how is your research going?"

"I recorded the magic patterns on it, as well as the energy flow paths in different moves.

Although it will take a lot of time to analyze and study, these are undoubtedly very valuable data!

Thank you, Ezreal, if you hadn't been willing to lend it to me for so many days at once, I wouldn't have been able to finish it in just a few hours as I had requested!"

"Hehe~! Why thank me? I'm glad I could help you!

From now on, as long as I'm not out exploring, please let me know if you need research!"

"Haha~! Okay."

Money is the least important thing to both of them. Ezreal, who had already sold several antiques, did not ask to return the compensation for Sapphire Street that Li En had paid in advance, and Li En did not mention the research expenses he had paid.

The so-called human feelings are something that gradually deepens through mutual help.

One wanted to go on an adventure together, while the other wanted to obtain the bond talent. Both of them tacitly agreed not to figure out such things.

"By the way, Ezreal, I see you bought so many things at once, why didn't Lao Zhali deliver them to your door?"

"Uh...this..."

Ezreal scratched his head, a look of embarrassment on his face.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Old Zhali?"

"No, he's in good health!

It's just... I changed the industry. The store is still the same store, but it no longer sells explorer equipment."

"Hmm...I see..."

From the flaming stone giant to the collision with the darkin Stellatu, as a person who had experienced it personally, Li En could more or less understand Lao Zhali's thoughts.

It is understandable that he decisively changed his career path and stopped contacting Ezreal.

Ignoring this embarrassing topic for Ezreal, Li En looked at the map around him.

"Ezreal, where are you going to explore this time?"

"Shurima, of course!"

"Shurima!? This... You should know that things are not going well there recently, right?"

"Well, I know, but just like the mercenary said, 'Fortune and honor are sought in danger', the legendary Ascendant actually appeared again, Li En, aren't you curious?

The Eagle King who disappeared for thousands of years could be resurrected. The secret is really intriguing!"

"Curious? But you have to understand that the Ascended One is even more powerful than the Darkin who just came out of the seal that day. Don't jump into his face and get slapped to death!"

"Of course not. I have read a lot of ancient books during this period. Ancient Shurima, a country full of slaves, is definitely not as beautiful as they say.

Don't worry, I have no intention of contacting the Ascendants during this expedition!"

"Well, in that case, take this with you!"

Li En said this, raising his hand and handing out a jade token.

"Huh? This is..."

Out of professional habit, Ezreal took it and examined it carefully, but found nothing. It looked like an ordinary jade plate with some patterns carved on it.

“My power is stored inside, and it can automatically help you resist damage at critical moments.

If you encounter a being that is far stronger than you, they will instantly teleport you away, and the distance is much farther than you can jump with the gauntlet!"

"This... is so amazing, can you really give it to me!?"

"Take it. It's not something precious. My friends, elders, and others all have it."

"Okay, thanks Lee En!"

"You're welcome. I hope you don't have to use it."

"Hehe~! As handsome as I am..."

Ezreal's eyes fell on Li En's face and he couldn't help but pause.

"Anyway, don't worry, my luck has always been good!"

"Well, that's true."

"Come on, it's still early. I'll take you to visit the museum's collections, and we'll have dinner together when uncle is done."

"Okay, let's go."

The two walked out of the room, one after the other.

When faced with the collection, Ezreal introduced it fluently as if he were familiar with it.

Li En listened attentively, nodded from time to time, and asked his own questions.

Although most of the information was irrelevant, it broadened Li En's horizons.

After all, Runeterra is now a real world for Li En, far from being a rough background of a game.
