"Hero, please stay and listen to me!"
A sentence that gave Li Ke goosebumps came from behind him. For Li Ke, being called a hero was usually when trouble came knocking on his door. Using novels, anime, and fairy tales to deduce the other party's intentions was indeed a little unreliable.
But generally speaking, being called a hero was definitely a time when trouble came knocking on his door. Therefore, he subconsciously took two steps forward. However, before he could take a few steps, he heard footsteps and a clear female voice coming from behind him.
"You saved us. According to the Bouvier Family's teachings, we must repay you!"
Li Ke felt his cloak being pulled, and he also felt a soft body bumping into him. If he hadn't carefully moved his body to the side, this little girl would have been cut open by Yatoku's sharp blade and her blood and energy would have been sucked out by Yatoku to become a part of the thing that Yatoku had prepared.
In short, she would be dead.
But even so, the girl still let out a blood-curdling scream. Li Ke's cloak was also pulled violently. It was obvious that the girl on his back had fallen. This small incident forced Li Ke to turn around and look at the noble lady who had a wound on her foot and fallen to the ground. But even so, the girl with soft platinum short hair still held on to Li Ke's cloak tightly, not wanting to let Li Ke leave.
"Um, please accept our gratitude!"
Her face was a little pale, but when she spoke to Li Ke again, her pale face blushed and tears welled up in her eyes. It was as though she would cry if Li Ke didn't agree. To be honest, it was really hard for Li Ke to refuse such a girl because Li Ke happened to be the kind of person who liked weak girls. Generally speaking, he wouldn't refuse such a girl's request unless he knew that she was the kind of girl who liked to eat tea.
"Forget about thanking me. It's just a small matter. There's really no need to make such a big fuss."
But that was under normal circumstances because right now, Li Ke just wanted to get to Demacia as soon as possible. He really didn't want to get involved with the nobles of Demacia at the border. After all, the nobles who would hunt in this place definitely weren't from the capital's noble circle, unless they were people who could join the ranks of the great nobles. But how was that possible? The probability of meeting two great nobles when he went out was a little too ridiculous.
Besides, wasting time wasn't something a good husband should do. Besides, his situation didn't allow him to waste too much time. So after he said that, he continued to move forward. And the girl who refused to let go ….
He was dragged by Li Ke and slid off the ground.
That's right. Even if she was dragged by Li Ke on the ground, this seemingly weak girl didn't have any intention of letting go. Instead, she tried her best to stop Li Ke from moving forward. She was afraid that her arms and face would rub against the ground, but she refused to give up the idea of dragging Li Ke. And although Li Ke wasn't unfamiliar with such persistent people, he had more than once had his shoes bitten by the teeth of people who couldn't fight. So he just calmly cut off his cloak with a dagger and let the girl stay where she was. Then, he ran as fast as he could toward the path he saw.
"Aiya, aiya. I didn't expect you to be in such a sorry state when you kill people like scything flax."
And as he ran, Yatox's mocking voice sounded, and Li Ke mocked him back without holding back. The symbiotic relationship between him and Yatox allowed him to see Yatox's memories more clearly. And judging from Yatox's reaction, Yatox should be vaguely aware of this, so it was a piece of cake for Sheyan to find dirt on him.
"Hehe, it's not my turn to be broken by a girl. I was too nervous that I only used three …"
However, as soon as he said this, his foot suddenly hurt, causing him to fall to the ground again without a care for his image. And this situation not only strengthened his desire to find other weapons, but also strengthened his desire to obtain Demacia's Forbidden Magic Stone to help him suppress Yatox. After all, falling down during normal times was secondary, but falling down during a battle was fatal. Although he didn't make much of a move in the previous battles, those battles couldn't be considered as' crucial 'battles.
After patting the dust off his body on the deserted path, Li Ke set off again. And with his speed, he soon arrived at Urvendell and retrieved his horse.
Casually wrapping Yatoku's tattered cloak around him, Li Ke continued towards Demacia's capital. However, for him, who was enjoying the scenery while hurrying along, the other group was much heavier.
"I'm sorry, Big Brother. I still let our benefactor leave."
The girl who wanted to hold Li Ke back said with a face full of guilt. Then, she spoke to the young man on the stretcher.
"It's not your fault, Alice. That mister is indeed a hero, so don't blame yourself. Besides, as the eldest daughter of the Bouvier Family, I'm the one who should feel the most guilty for not being able to hold our benefactor back. "
The boy on the stretcher — or more precisely, the girl — looked at her sister with a face full of self-reproach. After all, the creed of 'gratitude must be repaid' was not only their family's motto, but also the reason why their family could stand tall in Demacia. For them, if they couldn't maintain the image of their family repaying kindness, then it would undoubtedly be a disgrace to their family. Not to mention, the person who saved all of them and their benefactor. If they returned home like this, they would surely be punished. And they would also feel quite guilty. Of course, this family knew very well how to repay kindness.
After all, to them, even though repaying kindness was the foundation of their family, it was also the creed that they firmly believed in since they were young.
"But since he appeared in this place, it means that he should be someone from Urvendell … Although I'm sorry to trouble you again, can you tell me more about him? Dear Miss Quinn, and Mr. Kaleb. "
After comforting her younger sister, the girl struggled to stand up and bowed to Quinn and Kaleb.
"Erm, this is our second time meeting with that mister. But I don't think he's from Urvendell because I've never seen him or heard of his name. "
Kaleb blushed at the thought of how he and his sisters misunderstood that man. Quinn, who was standing beside him, felt a little embarrassed. After all, her performance was too poor.
"I see …"
The girl on the stretcher sighed, looked at her broken leg, and then turned to her younger sister who was still feeling guilty.
"Sister Alice, I can only rely on you. Please find that hero and protect the honor of our Bouvier Family."
She knew that this was a difficult task, but for her family, if someone heard that 'the Bouvier Family didn't repay kindness', then no matter how difficult it was, it wouldn't be a problem. Her younger sister obviously knew this as well. After all, from the interaction just now, the person who saved them obviously didn't have much resistance against a girl like her. So if they sent her as the messenger to repay the favor, then the success rate would be guaranteed.
"Understood, everything is for the honor of the Bouvier Family!"
Miss Alice nodded solemnly.
