Chapter 291 The Slowly Turning Wheel of Time
Miss Good Luck remembered this smell. When she hugged Li Ke before, she smelled this faint fragrance without the fishy smell of the sea.
Well, it can’t be said to be a fragrance, but rather a peculiar and pleasant smell.
So she remembered the taste.
And she also smelled this strange fragrance on this person who suddenly appeared and was dressed like an Ionian ninja.
Although it was very faint, she could still smell it.
"I'll take you there."
So after many thoughts turned over in her mind, especially after seeing that none of her men who had fallen to the ground were injured, she guessed something.
With a slight smile, Sarah ignored the sword around her neck and walked straight into the cabin.
Shen was stunned for a moment. He didn't quite understand what was going on with this woman, but when he walked and smelled the scent of Li Ke on himself, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
This woman actually figured out the clues through the smell?
This is quite an impressive feat for a bounty hunter.
But looking at the other person's swaying figure, that beautiful body wrapped in tight leather pants, the kind of plump figure that can only be found in people living by the sea.
Shen felt that he had seen the truth and knew why this woman was so familiar with Li Ke's smell.
"This guy... is so dishonest. He actually used such an excuse to fool me, saying that 'there are some things that only they can do...', tsk."
Shen muttered to himself, feeling quite unhappy. It was just like your good friend gave up playing games with you because of his girlfriend. Even though you knew it was normal, you still felt unhappy.
"But what about Irelia? I haven't told him about Ahri and Xayah yet. And Xayah is also very troublesome."
Shen couldn't help but think of the Vastaya woman who was looking for Li Ke everywhere. The other party didn't know that Li Ke had gone to Piltover. In fact, only he and a small group of people knew Li Ke's specific location, so the poor Vastaya woman was now looking for Li Ke all over the world.
He said he wanted to settle the score with Li Ke.
Shen said that he had done everything he could, and whether Li Ke would fail or not was his own problem. After all, to put it bluntly, it was not a big deal for a man in Ionia to have multiple wives, it was just that everyone admired having only one wife.
Thinking of this, Shen followed Sarah into the cabin. During this time, some crew members wanted to resist, but they were rejected by Sarah.
Finally, in a small cabin, Shen saw the scientist that Li Ke cared about.
The gentleman named Jace was not in a good condition now. He was lying on the deck with a bruised face and groaning. Beside him, a middle-aged woman was looking at him worriedly.
However, it can be seen from the interrogation that the condition of this middle-aged woman is even worse.
So, under Jace's wary eyes, he took out the crystal of vitality given to him by Li Ke.
"If you want to save your mother..."
Jace interrupted Shen impatiently.
"You are one of the Ionian's men, right?"
While speaking, Jace accidentally twitched the corner of his mouth. The wound at the corner of his mouth hurt him so much that he interrupted himself.
"Tell him I agree, but you must cure my mother's illness! Give us a good living! Most importantly, there can't be those barbarians who knock heads at the slightest disagreement! I don't care who I work for anymore!"
Jace could tell at a glance that this ninja-dressed man was related to Li Ke, but he no longer cared.
After being beaten up by Sarah's first mate, he finally understood one thing.
His talent can be very important.
But it doesn’t have to be important.
"You are right to understand it that way..."
Shen didn't expect it to be so smooth, so in front of Sarah's surprised gaze, he drew his sword and stabbed it into Jace's side.
Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, a blue-purple light enveloped the three of them. When they came to their senses, Shen and Jace had disappeared into the ship.
The shocked Jace couldn't help but open his mouth wide after smelling the fresh scent in the air and the beautiful scenery around him.
"here it is……"
He just thought that this ninja was Li Ke's subordinate, just like he didn't believe that Li Ke could kill Gangplank and freeze Piltover alone, he also didn't believe that Li Ke wanted to recruit him and do nothing.
But what he never expected was that the person who recruited him was actually a magician!
But are there any magicians who use swords to chop people?
Why do I always feel that this magician is more like a ninja swinging a sword and chopping people than a wizard?
Shen naturally had no idea what the other party was thinking, so he simply pulled out his sword that was stuck in the ground - he was not proficient in teleporting over such a long distance, so the sword was temporarily useless and had to be returned to the Order of the Balance to be recharged before it could be used again.
"Welcome to Ionia, Piltover."
He held out his hand to Jace, who looked at him blankly.
"Who are you? Who is that Li Ke?"
His childhood experiences made him unable to believe that the person who could use such magic was actually someone else's subordinate, but that was the fact.
"My name is Shen. You should have seen my name in Piltover's newspapers, but to be honest, their evaluation was a bit exaggerated. As for Li Ke..."
Shen smiled at Jace.
"He is my guide, or teacher."
…
Li Ke closed his eyes and meditated, while reviewing Jayce who had already arrived in Ionia.
However, these inadvertent little things seem insignificant compared to another thing.
"I am deeply tired and disappointed."
Darkwill covered his forehead with his hands. During this period of time, he fully felt what resistance was.
It was as if his majesty disappeared in an instant, and all his decrees became unsuccessful. Even among the people a lot of bad news appeared.
This made him quite dissatisfied.
But there was no way. After all, under his leadership, Noxus was attacked by three Ionian thugs.
And he didn't dare to do anything to those lunatics...
Thinking of this, he glanced at the report in front of him and couldn't help but curse.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
There is only one way out for waste, let alone waste that is useless to him.
So, he gave the order without much thought.
"Go kill all these slacking guys, and then let another group of people do it."
Throwing aside the report submitted by the Mages on preventing the Ionians from using teleportation spells in Noxus, Darkwill gave his own orders.
As for why?
This report makes it very clear.
They can't stop it.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the Mage Corps has done their best. They..."
Swain wanted to stop this, because this was the third group of mages killed by Darkwill in the past few months.
Even if Noxus can withstand such consumption, Swain is very clear. If Darkwill continues to be so stupid, then even if there are results, it will be difficult for those mages to come up with any reliable results.
Moreover, since they are preparing for war, mages are inevitable, especially when facing the Ionians. Without enough mages, their soldiers would be sending themselves to death on the battlefield.
He was not like those people who had no knowledge of Ionia. He had even been to Ionia in person and investigated the local customs and practices there. He knew how great Ionia's war potential was and how rich its resources were.
However, Darkwill refused to listen.
"Shut up! Swain! You know, I never want to do my best, but real results. Noxus has become great because of my attitude and decision! You won't forget this, right?"
Darkwill's gaze was still as majestic and terrifying as before, but...
Swain always felt that there was something that once entangled Darkwill that made him great.
Seems to be disappearing.
He nodded silently, picked up Darkwill's warrant, and walked out of the hall.
After the door was closed , those flatterers who dared not speak because of his presence immediately started to make noise, making him frown.
But at this moment, a veiled woman came over.
"You look..."
The veiled woman seemed to be smiling, but her expression was more intense, and she was sad. Swain knew why, because this person was the leader of most of the mages.
Pale Lady.
"…I'm quite worried."
