"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Carina nodded. Then, Li Ke saw Zhao Xin gently knocking on the door after the people inside stopped talking. After waiting for the king to speak, Zhao Xin slowly walked into the room. After a series of inaudible noises, Zhao Xin came out of the room again.
"His Majesty invites you in."
Zhao Xin opened the door, then stopped Li Ke when he saw Li Ke walking into the room with the sword on his back.
"Please put down the sword, Mr. Li Ke."
If it's possible, I want to as well.
Li Ke couldn't help but curl his lips. After all, although he could stay away from Yatokus for a period of time to a certain extent, it was at most one or two meters away. If he was too far away, Yatokus would appear in an instant and fly towards him while trying to control Li Ke's consciousness.
So he really couldn't give the sword to Zhao Xin outside the door.
"Can I give it to you? Because of some reasons, I can't be too far away from the sword. Otherwise, something very serious will happen. In fact, I came to Demacia to solve this problem. "
Li Ke sincerely explained his situation to Zhao Xin. After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Xin looked at Karina and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, although I can see that you are not lying to me, I can't let someone like you approach His Majesty with a weapon again. I hope you can understand, Mr. Li Ke. "
He was very serious because he didn't know whether he could defeat Li Ke or not. When Li Ke defeated the guards, the speed he showed was completely above his own.
Although he could see that Li Ke wasn't very good in terms of technique, and there was a certain gap between him and Zhao Xin, he knew that Li Ke was a warrior who fought for his life, not the kind of person who started practicing martial arts from a young age. If the two of them had the same speed, Zhao Xin was confident that he could defeat Li Ke.
But even so, Zhao Xin didn't want to take the risk because he had already made a mistake once. He wasn't able to control Li Ke the moment Li Ke attacked. So he had to make sure that he wouldn't make a second mistake.
"It's nothing, it's reasonable. Karina, please send my regards to His Majesty. "
Li Ke nodded. Although it was a little regretful that he was stopped, it was normal. After all, it would be strange if the guards didn't stop a stranger from bringing a door-sized sword to see the king.
As for the things that happened before he came here?
Li Ke could only say that the Crown Guard family was really powerful. Their reputation was so high that a stranger could carry such a weapon around freely.
"Alright, then wait for me here for a while."
Karina smiled helplessly. Then, she pushed open the door and entered the King's room. During this process, Zhao Xin stared at Li Ke, afraid that Li Ke would barge into the room. After Karina entered, Li Ke decided to look for a window to enjoy the scenery. However, he realized that no matter where he went, Debon, who came out of the room, was staring at him.
This made him feel a little awkward. After all, when he leaned on the window and looked outside, a man with the nickname 'Chrysanthemum Xin' was staring at his back. Perhaps no man could tolerate this. Therefore, he had no choice but to approach Zhao Xin and strike up a conversation.
"Actually, you don't have to stare at me like this. After all, I'm very familiar with you. For example, your other name."
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment. Then, as though he felt that he shouldn't neglect a guest, or perhaps he wanted to know more about Li Ke, he answered Li Ke's question.
"You mean the name 'Viscero'?"
When he said this name, he couldn't help but clench the spear in his hand.
"Yes, the general who trained me always said that I must surpass you. For this reason, I suffered a lot."
Li Ke wasn't lying. It was the truth.
During his miserable days, as long as he wasn't as good as Debon, the general would whip him with a whip dipped in salt and bathe him in alcohol. If it weren't for his magical recovery ability, his nerves would have been damaged long ago. It was impossible for him to slowly adapt to the pain like he was doing now and reach the point where he could still smile happily after being stabbed in the body.
"I'm sorry about that, but at that time, I just wanted to live a little longer."
However, Zhao Xin was puzzled by Li Ke's words. Generally speaking, Noxus people wouldn't train gladiators. They would only send the gladiators directly to the arena. No matter how much talent you showed in the gladiator fights, they would only give you better treatment. They would not spend time training you at all.
After all, Noxus people admired and loved gladiators very much. However, they never regarded gladiators as human beings. This was because no gladiator had ever left the Gladiator Arena alive. They were just enjoying the gladiators' struggles. It was also a kind of pleasure for them to find ways to improve themselves in their free time and work hard to make themselves stronger.
This involved the spirit of Noxus. Their principle of prioritizing the strong made their enjoyment strange. Therefore, appreciating the gladiators' struggle to become stronger and survive was actually just one of their less twisted hobbies.
Of course, powerful people could also train gladiators, but who would spend a lot of resources on a gladiator who was bound to die? Were they afraid that other people would take the opportunity to take away their position?
"I know. After all, we are all people who have no choice. And I'm a little worse than you. I just escaped from the sea of suffering, and now I'm stuck with this thing."
Li Ke pointed at Atokus behind him, showing a helpless expression.
"And this thing is much more difficult to deal with than the Noxus people."
He didn't know if Yatokus could achieve a crushing victory against Mordway, but to him, Yatokus was much more of a threat than the people of Noxus. At the very least, if the people of Noxus didn't send out their magic troops, they wouldn't be able to hold him back.
"… I have my reservations about this."
But Zhao Xin didn't think so.
