It had to be said that most of the Demacians were good people. Li Ke experienced it for himself. Even though his identity was unknown and he looked suspicious, the treatment he received wasn't too bad. He wasn't locked up in a cell for a few days as he expected. Instead, he was brought to a small room with a fireplace. But he couldn't go out. During this period of time, he was only allowed to stroll around the interior of the Fortress during lunchtime. Other than that, he wasn't allowed to go out.
And from time to time, there were also demon searchers, who wore half-masks and black uniforms, who came to see if he released any magic. Moreover, there were also two soldiers and two demon searchers guarding the door of his room. Although they weren't particularly strict, Li Ke couldn't leave his room as he wished. But this wasn't a big deal for Li Ke. After all, if he met a suspicious person like himself, he would do the same.
But it was a pity that some people didn't think so.
"Don't you feel wronged?"
Li Ke was bored to death as he read a Demacian novel. It was a story about how a Demacian hero slayed an evil dragon, rescued the daughter of the Royal Guardian, and won the heart of the beauty. To be honest, it was indeed very boring. However, the description of the Demacian's lifestyle and customs, habits, and the views of ordinary people towards certain matters had Li Ke subconsciously studying it. He also began to ponder on what exactly caused the people here to become like this.
Although it sounded boring, it was very interesting as an analysis of the lives of the people of another world.
So when Yatokus said this, Li Ke didn't even have the intention to respond. Instead, he continued reading the story and thought about a plot.
"The reason why I cried was because when the noble lord came to collect taxes, I still had half a bag of potatoes to feed myself. And when the guards came, I was left with my hen. But Lord Knight, if I contribute my strength to your crusade against the evil dragon and offer my hen as your food, I will starve to death. But if I don't contribute to your crusade against the evil dragon, and if your crusade against the evil dragon fails, I will still die. That's why I cried when I heard that you were going to crusade against the evil dragon! "
Li Ke slowly read out this sentence and sighed slightly.
"It seems that even the farmers of Demacia can't easily fill their stomachs. Going bankrupt due to taxes and military donations is also a common knowledge that can be written into a novel to increase the authenticity of the novel … That's why I still have to hurry up with my research. If I don't solve the food problem, the reason for the war will be more."
Unlike the barbaric world of Freldrod where one had to see it with their own eyes, Demacia had its own unique culture......... Demacia was a place with its own unique....... to know how the people........................
"Hey! I'm talking to you! "
But Yatokus was very unhappy. He could not pressure Li Ke too much, because he was really afraid that Li Ke would find a chance to kill himself. And he did not want to give up the chance of complete freedom that he had obtained after so long! The temptation of reconstructing the body of an ascender so that he would not have to return to the cage from time to time was enough to make his mind a little more normal. After all, what he wanted to do was not possible without a strong enough body that could move around for a long time.
As for pain and all kinds of torture, he knew that it would be useless if it was too light. But if it was too heavy, he was afraid that Li Ke would kill himself. Besides, he still needed Li Ke to forge the power of an ascender. If he let Li Ke extract the power to reconstruct the body of an ascender from him, he did not know whether he would die when the body of an ascender was completed.
So this also led to another thing. If Li Ke really did not want to bother with him, he really had no good way to deal with him.
And although death was also his wish in the past, he had automatically pushed his death back when revenge was no longer so uncertain. And this also led to the fact that he had to let Li Ke obtain a similar power before he could rest assured and let Li Ke forge the body of an ascender. And he also had to ensure that he would absolutely suppress Li Ke during this period of time. Otherwise, it would not meet his expectations.
In this way, Yatokus' goal was really too difficult. Although he himself was confident that he could make Li Ke do everything he wanted him to do unknowingly, he still had the confidence that he could make Li Ke do everything he wanted him to do. But his various concerns and goals also gave Li Ke space and time to struggle. He was able to find a way to deal with Yatokus when Yatokus had the absolute advantage.
But Yatokus only felt disdain towards Li Ke's idea of finding a way to deal with him and then killing him. And his arrogance made his plan quite rough. That was to let Li Ke constantly fall into danger, then use his power to resist the danger and slowly be infected by him. Under his various hints, Yatokus would go to Shurima to search for the power of other ascenders and forge the body of an ascender.
"Hmm, as expected, the currency here is also gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. It seems that the money I got is enough for me to spend for a while. After all, in the novel, the knight bought the farmer's hen with a gold coin. Then, the farmer told the farmer that his wife and children could be saved. A real hen should not be worth more than a silver coin. Even if the price of goods increases, the gold coins I have should be enough for me to use. "
Li Ke endured the pain that Yatokus inflicted on him because he didn't answer him. He trembled a little as he turned a page of the book. After all, Yatokus's technique was much more powerful than the Noxus people's penal officers. He directly used his power to corrode Li Ke's nerves, making Li Ke feel waves of indescribable pain.
But compared to the pain of his soul being shattered, this kind of pain was not enough to defeat Li Ke.
"Is that all you've got?"
He couldn't help but mock, and the pain multiplied in an instant. In order to prevent himself from tearing the novel apart, he had no choice but to place the book on the table with trembling hands. Then, he sat there silently and continued to read by himself.
But his strange behavior was still noticed by the two demon hunters who came to deliver the book. They were on guard against Li Ke at first, but after discovering that Li Ke had no intention of attacking, one of the older demon hunters quickly took out a small bottle of grey liquid and stuffed it into Li Ke's hand.
"Drink it! Young man, this will make you feel better! "
Li Ke didn't hesitate too much. After all, he was in a situation where he couldn't die even if he wanted to. He immediately took the bottle with his left hand and drank the grey liquid in one gulp.
