Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 880: Atreus's Eager Departure

The overwhelming aura mixed with the breath of the 'Star Spirit' came towards them, and as mortals, Akshan and Quesanti subconsciously became alert.

"Don't worry you two, Mr. Atreus means no harm."

"..."

Seeing Li En speaking with his back to them, the two men looked at each other and put away their stances.

Noticing the actions of the two people behind him, Li En looked calmly at Atreus opposite him with gentle and peaceful eyes.

"Due to the appearance of the 'Sun Star Spirit', the Fiery Sun Cult held a celebration ceremony not long ago. I happened to help Ms. Iula a little at the celebration fair.

That's why she mentioned you and Paras in the subsequent chat."

"..."

"From Ms. Iura's words, the two real 'Star Spirits' around me, and your attitude towards me now, Mr. Atreus, I think... maybe you left the Rakkor tribe 'involuntarily', right?"

Facing Li En's gentle gaze, Atreus still did not answer his question, but the sharp and vigilant aura around him subsided a little.

Indeed, the 'Giant God of War' used a method that was almost like possessing another's body to forcibly control his body to search for and hunt down the 'Darkspawn' all over the world.

During this period, in order to kill these evil beings, a large number of innocent people were killed and injured, which caused Atreus to be extremely wary and resistant to the "War Titan" and even similar beings on the top of Mount Targon.

But Li En is not a 'Star Spirit', and there is no evil aura about him.

Even now he could still feel the pure life force given by the other party in his body constantly repairing his body.

Looking into Li En's frank and sincere eyes, Atreus moved his slightly cracked lips slightly.

"Iula...Is she...ok?"

"That's good. The reason she came to the festival market was to sell a batch of food at a higher price so that she could buy some clothes for her children."

"child!?"

"Well, the girl, Hannie, came with her to the fair, and the younger boy, Thomas, was left in the care of a neighbor on the farm."

"But...Iula..."

Atreus was a little confused, but he quickly realized what was happening.

'Perhaps after so many years, Iula, as a woman, also needs someone to rely on, so...'

Thinking of this, Atreus felt relieved.

The 'Power of the War Aspect' subsided, and the dark golden helmet, which had not fallen off even after being swallowed by 'Bakay' and then pulled out of the opened stomach, was now taken off by Atreus.

His face was covered with scars and had a strong and resolute look. His dark brown beard and hair proved that he was not very old, but when Akshan and Quesanti looked into his weathered eyes, they inexplicably felt that Atreus' age was much older than he looked.

"Mr. Li En, thank you for telling me the news!"

“You’re welcome, Mr. Atreus.

When we parted ways earlier, Lady Iula said she now lived at the northernmost part of the 'Lahorak' Chapter Farm."

"Okay, thank you!"

Nodding, Atreus glanced at the two figures behind Li En, then without any hesitation, turned and strode towards the direction of Mount Targon.

"Mr. Atreus, I am Kwisanti Okatok of Nazumang. Thank you for saving my life. If you need any help in the future, please let me know!"

Quesanti's shout echoed in the empty desert. Atreus paused for a moment, then continued to stride away.

"What a unique guy."

Akshan sighed softly as he watched Atreus's receding back.

As for the various information that Li En had revealed when talking to the other party before, neither he nor Quesanti could quite understand it.

Just hearing things like 'Protoss' and 'Dark Elves' sounded like huge troubles, and the two of them, knowing their own level well, had no intention of inquiring further.

"Alright, you two, now that this matter is over, it's time for me to leave."

"Ah? Mr. Li En, are you leaving soon?"

"Mr. Li En, if you don't have anything important to attend to, why don't you come to Nazumang as a guest? That way I can express my gratitude."

As the most valiant warrior of Nazumang, Quesanti received strict etiquette instruction in addition to combat skills since childhood.

It's just that at this moment, a muscular man who is over two meters tall and extremely strong shows such a polite appearance, which gives people a sense of contrast.

"Next time, I have to go to Uzeris now. If you want to contact me in the future, you can send a letter to the City Lord's Mansion in Uzeris.

The Shurima environment is turbulent right now, so you two must be extra careful."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Li En!"

“Good luck on your journey!”

"See you."

When the two people who were saluting looked up again, Li En's figure had disappeared, and he had obviously left quietly.

The reason why he is so cool and decisive is mainly because with Li En's current strength, just a few bond talents cannot bring any significant improvement.

Although Atreus looked grateful, Li En knew very well that the other party had never let down his guard against him from beginning to end.

Li En knew that he left so quickly, on the one hand because he noticed the gap in strength between them, and on the other hand because Atreus was worried about the safety of his good friend Iura.

Li En would not explain too much about this kind of 'PTSD'-like psychology, so as to avoid having a counterproductive effect.

After all, Li En had already sensed from Iula's life breath that the other party was over fifty years old, and the so-called "daughter" Hanni actually had no blood connection with her.

Obviously, the other younger "son" Thomas and Iula could not be her children. These "one son and one daughter" were most likely orphans she adopted.

Climbing Mount Targon was only possible when one was in peak physical condition, and at Iura's age, Atreus must have been enslaved for many years.

Therefore, Li En would never have the illusion of gaining Atreus' trust with just a few words.

Iula was on that farm, and Li En even specifically instructed Leona to pay more attention to the situation over there and secretly look after the three of them, mother and son.

All Atreus needs to do is meet him in person, and today's suspicion and vigilance will become the basis for trust in the future.

There may be some routines, but there is no way around it. Li En believes that these are all learned passively by following Leblanc. Of course, he is a kind and sincere person by nature.

As for Quesanti and Akshan, one was a fighting novice and the other a rookie, Li En only left a trace of magic on them to avoid any accidents in the increasingly chaotic Shurima.

After all, both of them are still at the level of "mortals", and a "Bake" twisted by the dark magic of Xerath almost killed them both.
