Legends of Runeterra

"Quack~!"

"That's it."

"Haha~! 'Naive and arrogant' huh? That's a very fitting assessment for Darius."

"Gah! Li En, if you ask me, these two mortals are 'naive and arrogant'. They were fooled by us.

No, it's not just Swain and Darius..."

"Okay Ram, stop flattering me."

"Gah! What do you mean by 'flattering', Li En? I'm just saying what's on my mind."

The six-eyed crow standing on the table looked at Li En with its three eyes and said words that even ordinary people could feel were infinitely flattering.

"Stop it. If you continue like this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Gah! Yes, Master Li En!"

"By the way, Ram, why do you start your sentences with that cry now? Do you really think you're a crow?"

"Gah... Ugh, ugh~! This is all because of Swain. He told me to create countless crow clones to blend into the crow flock and monitor various movements. As a result, I've been pretending to be a crow so much that it's almost become instinct."

"Ah... well, let's get back to business. Are you familiar with the 'Bone-Eroding Well' incident?"

"What well?"

"It's a place that belonged to the Black Rose and was destroyed by a surprise attack."

"Oh, you mean that? I was there in secret that day, but I didn't see the whole thing. I just connected with the nearest clone and rushed over after noticing something unusual. Li En, do you want to see it?"

"Of course, it's troublesome."

"Hehe~! It's just a small matter!"

Ram flapped his wings as he spoke, and several crow feathers flew into the air.

"Om~!"

Dark red energy overflowed from Crow Feather, forming a series of patchwork images in front of Li En.

It was a picture composed of six different angles in total, from the perspective of Ram's crow clone.

As the scene changed, Li En soon saw a familiar figure.

"Huh? This is..."

"Hehe~! You look familiar, this 'Lord of the Scarlet Order' Vladimir."

"So he's involved in this too."

"Although it's very subtle, Li En, before Vladimir disappeared, I clearly felt it. It was definitely the breath of 'death'!"

"'Breath of Death'...Okay, I get it. Good job, Ram."

"Hmph! You're welcome, Li En. This naive boy thought that no one could detect the aura of the 'Darkspawn' on him, but he didn't know that even through half of the Immortal Fortress, I could still smell that stench!

The flesh and blood of the Darkin is not so easy to obtain, not to mention that it is the body of the original fallen Darkin, not the poor imitation created by the blood magic today.

This kid has survived until now by relying on the flesh and blood of the Darkin. Now, it's time to pay the price."

"Oh? So, Ram, you know a lot."

"Hehe~! Of course, Li En, your ally is the dignified 'Secret Demon Ram'. Give me some time, this secret is not a problem at all!"

"Well done, Ram."

Although Li En had known Vladimir's secret for a long time, and had even noticed the situation when he met him in front of Leblanc, but Ram was so dedicated to finding out the secret for him, Li En naturally would not be stingy with verbal praise.

"Hehe~! You're welcome, Li En. We are allies, aren't we?"

"Yes, allies."

A man and a demon were chatting, while the picture in the air continued to play.

Soon, the picture that Ram deliberately magnified appeared in Li En's eyes.

After spending a long time together during his childhood, Li En immediately recognized the figure of this man who was both his teacher and his real father-in-law.

"You finally showed up, Mr. Du Kecao."

The scene continued to play, and soon Du Kecao, who was accompanied by ten elite assassins, was led into the "Bone Erosion Well" by Vladimir's secret plan. He suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Black Rose who arrived later. Even he himself had to withstand several vicious spells before he escaped the scene.

"Li En, this guy is fine. After he treated his wounds, he went to report the situation to Swain in person!"

"Well, I see."

Li En nodded, without a trace of surprise on his face.

When Du Kecao mysteriously disappeared, Li En never worried.

A master assassin who could train Katarina and Talon would never die quietly without leaving any trace.

Unless Leblanc takes action personally, but obviously, even Brown Darkwill does not have this qualification, how could Du Kecao have it.

In this regard, Li En at that time could not and would not take the initiative to look for the other party's traces. After all, even the Catalina sisters were not worried, and taking the initiative to look for them would most likely disrupt the other party's plan and become an enemy.

Now seeing Du Keao again, Li En understood that he had finally defected to Swain, but this was not a bad move.

The fact that he was sent by Swain to fight against the 'Black Rose' proves that he is highly valued by Swain.

And the two daughters are firmly tied to Li En. No matter what, the Du Kecao family will not fall into decline.

As for whether Swain is a heartless person, and whether Li En will betray his love...

If he didn't even have this little bit of courage, Du Kecao wouldn't have been able to become the general who annexed Uzeris into the territory of Noxus.

Now, Du Kecao's figure finally appeared in front of him, and Li En roughly understood what the other party had been doing over the years.

"Hehe~! Li En, then what should we do next..."

"Ram, you continue to monitor Swain. As for the rest, tell me if there are any other situations."

"Yes, Lord Li En."

"By the way, remember to keep an eye on the Master Assassin and make sure he's alive."

"No problem, don't worry, Li En."

Although Du Keao himself did not notice it, in the scene just now that was mainly from Ram's perspective, Li En was very clear that the other party was able to escape only because Leblanc showed mercy.

As for why she did this, in addition to the fact that Leblanc herself hoped that the news would be taken away by the other party, it was also partly for Li En's face.

After all, Du Keao had a pretty good relationship with Li En, and taking his life was not in line with Leblanc's plan.

...

"Brother Li En!!"

The small figure flew into Li En's arms, and Annie hugged Li En tightly.

The doll named 'Tibos' was squeezed between the two of them.

Although he was once a tyrannical and ruthless demon, Tibers now felt unprecedented pressure. He tried his best to gather the power within the doll and pretend to be an ordinary doll.

Li En held little Annie in his arms and looked at the other two people in front of him with gentle eyes.

"Long time no see, Anne, Berea, and... Catalina."
