"Ionian?"
The general of the fortress was taken aback. He looked at Li Ke's unfamiliar face and realized that Li Ke's face was similar to that of the Noxus people's invasion. But no matter what, the appearance of a stranger at this time and place was very suspicious.
Furthermore, he heard that many Ionians had joined Noxus.
He glanced at his sentinel and after receiving a hint that there was' no one else ', he didn't order his soldiers to surround and capture this person. Instead, he walked to a spot 10 meters away from Li Ke and questioned him.
"Then, tell me your intentions, Li … Ke? After all, you have to understand that it's suspicious for an Ionian citizen to appear here. "
Since the other party wasn't from the Noxus people or Freldrod, the general wasn't stingy with the goodwill of this Demacian citizen. After all, no matter what, the other party had shown his cooperative side and hadn't put down his hands. Therefore, if the general was too unreasonable, it would be a disgrace to the Demacians.
"Ah, I was originally from the French Village in Ionia. Unfortunately, I was captured by the Noxus people and turned into a slave. I was sent to repair the city walls and escaped."
Li Ke blurted out the lie that he had prepared beforehand. Of course, the French Village in Ionia was only a temporary place that he came up with because he was holding his hands up high. However, the general wasn't sure if there was such a place in Ionia. After all, to him, Ionia was only a country that needed sympathy and another proof of the superiority of the Demacians. Although he did need to worry about the Noxus people gaining a huge boost in strength, it seemed like the Noxus didn't have the capability to do so.
In line with the idea that the enemy of an enemy was an ally, the general's attitude was a little better. He looked at the big sword wrapped in rags on Li Ke's back, as well as Li Ke's body that was too strong for a slave, and touched his own sword with some doubt. This was because he knew that he couldn't wield such a huge sword. However, this man before him didn't seem to feel the weight of the sword at all.
"Then, what's up with your sword and your physique? Ordinary people can't wield such a sword. Besides, my soldiers also told me that there are traces of magic on your body. Can you explain? "
The general raised his hand, and a man wearing a black uniform with a half-mask appeared. There was a dark gray stone plate on his shoulder that was used as a button to fasten his cloak. Because of this, he walked to his side and held a strange stone in his hand.
"About this …"
Li Ke couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, another person's voice sounded in his mind.
"Why? Are you going to kill them? It's simple. As long as you borrow my strength, crushing this small Fortress will be a piece of cake! "
This voice was filled with ridicule and guidance. Because of his words, Li Ke's right arm began to flicker in red and blue radiance. The scene before Li Ke changed instantly. The soldiers who pointed their weapons at him were all lying in a pool of blood. Severed limbs were everywhere. The general who dared to question him was chopped into two halves. The huge fortress in front of him that blocked his way forward was smashed into pieces.
This scene was incomparably realistic. However, Li Ke had been fighting against it for more than a month. He was already familiar with this feeling. Even though he still couldn't break through this illusion, it wasn't too difficult for him to ignore it. So he just followed his original plan and slowly untied the bandage on his arm, revealing his right hand that was shining in blue and red radiance.
Most of his right hand was now dark red, but his fingers and palm were shining with pale blue and golden light. His fingernails were no longer human fingernails, but sharper and sturdier than those of a beast. They were shining with a bluish-white light. This arm immediately alerted everyone at the scene, especially those men in black with half-masked faces. They immediately took out a strange rope and raised the strange wooden sticks in their hands.
"I was cursed. In order to escape from Noxus, I had to take away a magic sword they found. Then, my body was cursed. As for my physique, well, I was a … farmer in my hometown. "
Li Ke explained his story to the corpses and ruins. He once again made the traditional gesture of the French Village of Ionia. He raised his hands high to show that he had no malicious intentions. Moreover, Li Ke didn't react to the surrounding soldiers surrounding him with spears. Because he knew that if he wanted to enter Demacia safely and obtain what he wanted, he had to leave a good impression on these Demacians.
Otherwise …
He might really have to go on a killing spree. But this was exactly what Yatoku in his body wanted to see. After all, judging from the fact that Yatoku kept instigating him to use his power, his thoughts were actually very simple. That was, like Laast in Kaiin's hands, he wanted to use Rhode's body to reconstruct a body that could last longer. But Yatoku's goal was more obvious and urgent than Laast's, because what he wanted was the body of an ascender, not the body of a Dark Descendant. Although Rhode didn't need to borrow Yatoku's power in ordinary battles, it might not necessarily be the case if he was besieged by a country.
Li Ke was very sure that Yatoku wanted him to transform his body into an ascender's body. Not only did Yatoku obstruct him when he wanted to cut off his right arm, but also because of his ability and the symbiotic relationship with Yatoku. During this period of time, he would dream of Yatoku's past memories when he slept. He could fully understand Yatoku's morbid desire for his past glory and his expectation for a free body.
After all, the body of a Dark Descendant had a limit. No matter how strong the body was, it would gradually decay and rot. Unless he continuously plundered the flesh of mortals, he would only be reborn again and again.
"Do farmers need such strong muscles? Forget it … You look like a person with a lot of stories. Come, we will entertain you for a while. I hope you can understand and cooperate with us. "
Seeing that Li Ke didn't care about being besieged by these people, the general was willing to believe Li Ke's words. After all, the nearest spear was only a foot away from Li Ke's heart. Even the most brilliant swordsman couldn't dodge at this distance, so he was relieved. He waved his hand and ordered the men in black to approach Li Ke. He was going to bring Li Ke into the fortress for a few days of observation. If they found that Li Ke was indeed not a dangerous person, it wouldn't be too late to let him go.
After all, it was too suspicious for him to come here at this time.
"Of course, I can understand."
Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. But when he put down his hand and prepared to walk towards the fortress with the two men in black and the soldiers, he saw the soldiers suddenly thrust their spears towards his body. The two men in black even pulled out two daggers and stabbed towards his heart. His eyes widened and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his willpower only made his body stiffen for a moment before he stopped.
Sure enough, the weapons that attacked him were just an unusually realistic illusion. They disappeared the moment they got close to his body. The men in black who sensed his abnormality looked at him in confusion. They didn't understand why this obedient guy suddenly became so unnatural.
"It's nothing. It's because I'm one step closer to my hometown, so … I'm a little nervous."
Li Ke shook his head and walked into the fortress of the Demacians amidst Yatoku's wild laughter.
