First, take down the Sword Demon, then save Runeterra.

"Master Dolan, is your master still alive? You've never told me that." Yi's master asked curiously.

"Yes, of course he's here!" Dolan exclaimed excitedly, like a child. "Yi, take me to see him! I want to hear what my master told me!"

"Master, don't you suspect it's fake?"

“How could it be fake!” Dolan retorted stubbornly.

"You all think I don't have a master, that's because I've never told anyone! Since he said that, it must be my master who told him!"

Dolan rushed toward the mountain gate, and Yi quickly followed, wanting to make sure that the mysterious swordsman would not harm Dolan.

Atto saw Dolan running out excitedly and untying the rope binding his sword.

Once Dolan saw the dark red scabbard, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

He stepped forward tremblingly, touching the patterns on the scabbard with his hand, carefully feeling it.

"It's him, it's his work!" Dolan cried, tears streaming down his face. "Are you also his student?"

“No, I only asked him to forge this scabbard,” Atto said, shaking his head.

"What did he... what did he ask you to tell me?" Dolan's eyes were full of anticipation.

“Auen asked me to tell you that he will always remember your eyes, which were filled with longing for forging.”

"Master!" Dolan could no longer hold on. He knelt down and bowed deeply towards the northwest.

Yi watched this scene in surprise from behind; he hadn't expected that Master Dolan really had a master.

The longsword he used was made by Master Dolan.

Yi was a genius at swordsmanship, and the sword forged by Master Dolan enhanced his strength by at least 30%.

How skilled must Master Dolan's master be in forging? And how is he still alive?

After a long while, Yi went up and helped Dolan up.

“Master, your forging skills will surely satisfy your master now.”

“No, that’s far from enough.” Dolan wiped his face. “You don’t know, my master…”

Dolan abruptly stopped speaking, glanced at Atto, and swallowed back all the boasting he had in mind.

"Master wouldn't want anyone else to know..."

"Yi, I've never known whether I'm considered Master's disciple or not, but today I finally know!"

"Master, may I ask your name? Which school of thought do you follow? Hey, this isn't the place to talk, please come in!"

Dolan invited Ator to visit the Wuji Cult.

Although Dolan is not a disciple of Wuji, he holds a transcendent position here.

Not only within the Wuji Cult, but throughout Ionia, the name of Master Doran the Blacksmith is known.

Who wouldn't want weapons forged by Master Dolan in their faction?

Atto followed Dolan into the sect's gates.

The other disciples looked at Ato with curiosity, speculating about his background, wondering why Master Dolan valued him so much.

They found an open space to sit down, and Yi remained silent throughout.

A young Taoist priest brought tea, and Dolan personally poured it for Atto.

After expressing his gratitude, Ator began to tell Dolan about his background.

"I have no master and am considered a rogue cultivator. You can call me Ji."

"Master Ji, where did you meet my master?" Dolan was eager to know about Orn's recent situation.

“Of course it is Freljord, Master Dolan. You should have been there when you were young.”

"Yes, it's been over seventy years. Back then, I just wanted to know what the outside world was like, so I set off by boat."

"But the further I went, the colder it got. I encountered a primitive tribe whose language I couldn't understand at all."

"I ran away because I was scared, but I gradually lost my strength and fainted. When I woke up, I was already in my master's furnace village."

At this point, Dolan seemed to remember something and asked Atto, "How did my master agree to forge a scabbard for you? I've never seen him forge anything for anyone else."

Atto told him the truth: "I mentioned Master Dolan to him by chance, and he was very interested, so he agreed to help me."

Dolan opened his mouth, then looked towards the northwest again.

"Besides delivering a message to Master Dolan, I have another important matter to attend to."

"What is it? Just tell me, and I'll do my best to help you within my capabilities!" Dolan snapped out of his reverie.

“This isn’t just your problem, Master.” Ator shook his head slightly. “In the south of Freljord, there is a powerful empire that has attacked Ionia.”

"How could this be?" Yi asked in surprise after a long silence. "Ionia has no enmity with them, so why would they attack us?"

“Master Yi, they never wage war because of hatred, but for profit.”

"Where are they now?" Yi stood up. "I'll go and fight them off!"

"We just arrived at Philol Island yesterday, and it should already be occupied by them."

"I'll go now!" Yi said, preparing to descend the mountain.

"stop!"

Yi's master stepped out from the side; he had overheard Atto and Dolan's conversation.

"Master!" Yi cried out anxiously, "I wanted to go down the mountain to do righteous things, but you stopped me. Now someone is slaughtering the people of Ionia! Are you going to make me stand by and do nothing?"

"Insolence!" Master glared angrily. "Since its founding 514 years ago, the Wuji Sect has never interfered in mortal affairs. Today, we must not break this rule!"

"Master!"

The pleasant atmosphere from just now was completely ruined by the arrival of Noxus.

Seeing this, Dolan coughed lightly and advised Yi's master, "Alright, what's wrong with a young man having passion? Besides, those outsiders will come up the mountain sooner or later. Aren't you going to fight back?"

"Hmph, if they really overestimate themselves, I'll show them the Limitless Sword Dao when they come up the mountain. As for now, you stay on the mountain!"

“Yes… Master…” Yi walked inside with a pained expression and a dejected look on his face.

After dealing with Yi's matter, he came to Atuo and said kindly, "You helped Master Dolan, so you are a guest of my Wuji Sect."

“Master Ji, if you have nowhere to go, you may stay here for the time being and spar with my disciples. What do you say?”

With a formidable enemy at hand, why was Yi's master still considering sparring? His fearless attitude seemed utterly ridiculous to Atuo.

"Thank you, Master, but I am concerned about the situation on the battlefield and worried about my brothers and sisters there. Please excuse me for taking my leave."

"Since that's the case, then I won't insist. With Master Ji's skills, killing the enemy should be a piece of cake."

"Hey, are you leaving?" Dolan was a little worried. After all, they had all met Ornn, and he didn't want Ator to encounter danger on the battlefield.

"The message has been delivered. The favor of your master in forging the scabbard for me is now settled. With foreign enemies rampant, I dare not linger any longer."

"Alright... but be careful! I've heard of that empire; they're ruthless killers!"

"Thank you for the reminder. You two, I'll take my leave now!"
