Legends of Runeterra

"Uh uh..."

When her consciousness returned to her body, the soreness and weakness all over her body made Zeli groan.

She opened her eyes, but under the stimulation of the bright light, Zeli closed them again.

I moved my body slightly, but found that my whole body was tense, as if I was restrained.

"Where am I? I won't be caught!?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Zeli immediately struggled to get up.

"Don't move. The wound might open again soon after it's bandaged!"

Accompanied by a gentle voice, a strong hand pressed on Zeli's uninjured shoulder.

Zeli squinted her eyes to adjust to the light and looked at the person who was speaking.

He has black hair and black pupils, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Even though he is wearing a somewhat worn-out Zaun worker's uniform, it is difficult to conceal his outstanding image and temperament.

The memory before the coma was finally recalled, and Zeli asked tentatively: "That... is... ahem..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her dry throat made Zeli cough uncontrollably.

"Come, drink some water first!"

"Gudong, gudong! Huh~!"

After drinking a large glass of water, Zeli finally felt much better.

"Hello, my name is Zeli, thank you very much for your help, I will definitely repay you!"

"Haha, you're welcome. You can call me Li En. Everyone needs help someday!"

"Uh-huh!"

Ze Li blinked her light green eyes, silently remembering this favor, and at the same time her favor towards Li En quickly increased.

Feeling the soreness and weakness ease a little, Zeli moved her body to adjust her posture.

She glanced at the body under the quilt and found that the clothes had been changed into a loose style, and the whole body was wrapped with bandages. The whole person exuded a faint smell of medicine.

Apart from the unconscious self, there was only Li En in the room, so it was obvious who did this.

Zeli's cheeks grew hot at the thought, and her toes curled slightly in the quilt.

Suddenly, Zeli seemed to remember something and was about to stand up anxiously: "Oh, right! Those people must still be looking for me everywhere, I can't hold you back here!"

"It's okay, you take a good rest first, I..."

"Crack!"

The door was opened and Hilco came in with his younger brother.

"Sir, the investigation is complete!"

"okay, I get it!"

"plum...!?"

The moment she saw the crowd, Ze Li was determined to hold them back at all costs and let Li En escape.

After hearing the conversation between the two, he was stunned and his rosy face turned pale in an instant.

"Asshole, you lied to me!"

Throwing the quilt at Li En and others, Ze Li rushed to the window while enduring the pain.

"Luke Euridos, Joanna Euridos..."

One of his men came out to block the quilt. Li En sat on the chair and read the information compiled by Hilco slowly.

As the names that were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar were read out, Zeli's steps became slower and slower until they stopped completely.

The two strong men also quickly blocked the window, cutting off Zeli's hope of escape.

Zeli turned around, clenched her fists, and opened her eyes slightly.

"You bastard, what on earth do you want to do!"

Seeing the other party like a little beast being cornered, Li En smiled and asked, "I should be the one to say this, Miss Eurydos! You destroyed my equipment and injured my workers! What do you want to do?"

"Humph! You want to tear down our house, and you ask me what I want to do?"

Li En was stunned by Zeli's righteous words, and then he looked at Hilco beside him, who also reacted quickly.

"Sir, the subsidies have been distributed. Here is the record sheet!"

Li En nodded, took it and put it under Zeli's information. Seeing this, Hilko was slightly touched.

"I said, didn't you read the announcement?"

"Haha, I don't even bother to read that kind of deceptive stuff!"

Zeli sneered with a look of disdain on her face.

Seeing this, Li En combined the information he had collected and gradually deduced the course of events.

The reckless girl, after hearing a few words of complaint and considering the appearance of the construction team, naturally thought that they were trying to seize her home, so she took decisive action.

There were few people at night, and people like Hilco who had suffered a loss would certainly not make it public, so apart from their own people, the residents knew nothing about it.

As parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eurydos probably had no idea that their daughter had done such a big thing.

"Come, read this notice first!"

When the thug handed her the paper, Zeli gritted her teeth and snatched it away.

"Read it!"

"Humph! Just think about it! In order to improve..., each household will be subsidized..."

As the content was read out sentence by sentence, Ze Li's originally powerful voice became smaller and smaller.

When she read the content of the subsidy, Zeli felt more and more uneasy when she thought about the recent changes in the family's meals and the new clothes they had bought.

It once sounded like a lament, but now, looking back, it seems to be a request for the construction team to finish the work quickly...

"I can't hear you, speak louder! You want to drive a warship so quietly?"

"me..."

Although she didn't understand what it meant to drive a warship, it was definitely not a good thing to say, but Zeli couldn't fight back at this time.

"Haha, it seems that our Miss Eurydos finally realizes what she has done!"

"..."

Seeing the girl lowering her head with a guilty look, Li En pointed at the chair in front of him.

"Come on, come sit down, let's talk!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Zeli moved step by step to the chair and sat down carefully.

"What...what did you want to talk about?"

"Haha, it's very simple, compensation!"

"what!?"

The girl looked up suddenly, with a bad feeling in her heart.

"Take a look at it and sign it if it's ok!"

Li En pulled out a list and handed it to the other party.

"Large equipment... small... engineering delays..."

Subconsciously, Zeli read out the above contents one by one, but her heart fell into despair bit by bit.

"Wait! Why does my medical expenses cost ten gold coins? Your shabby bandage is made of gold! Besides, you...you saw me naked, so you should be the one paying me!"

Seeing the outrageous price of medical expenses at the end, Ze Li's face flushed, but she still questioned Li En loudly.

"First of all, the medicine I used for you is the best. I guarantee that tomorrow morning, there won't even be a scar! Secondly, it wasn't me who applied the medicine, but a female doctor. If you don't believe me, I can take you to ask! Finally, you agree to the rest of the compensation items!"

"..."

Facing Li En's gaze, Ze Li lowered her head again, and her hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

After a long time, the girl raised her head again, her face pale but her eyes determined.

"Yes, I admit it. You can do whatever you want, just don't hurt my family and friends!"
