"One day, I will kill all the arrogant people in the world."
Muttering such words, Li Ke, who had manifested his Dark-Kin form, helped the tree stand up again with Yatoku's' That's really stupid 'retort. He also aligned the broken spot and used his lifeforce to fill in the gap.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Ke's face and the fact that his strength came from these trees, perhaps Yatoku wouldn't have helped him. After all, this troublesome poplar said that if he continued to consume the life force of the earth to save him, he would rather die. That was why he could only use this method to save him. This also made Li Ke's strength slightly insufficient.
To be exact, it was a problem of height because the broken part was too high and he couldn't reach it. Moreover, this poplar had a diameter of 10 meters.
After doing all this, Li Ke decided to leave this place. After all, he had been busy for the whole night, so he bid farewell to the poplar that had regained its vigor and returned to the gathering place of the civilians. As for the reward, it was too magical. If the land wasn't overdrawn, then Li Ke would have taken away a large amount of life force from this poplar. But now that the land was seriously overdrawn, he couldn't give Li Ke any reward.
After all, if he forcefully gave Li Ke a reward, then the land would continue to deteriorate and it would be difficult to recover. However, he didn't intend to not repay Li Ke. He gave Li Ke a blessing. He said that it had a special ability and that he would like it as a human. But Li Ke also saw the shining magical light spots and felt the magical power entering his body.
But …
He didn't feel anything.
But he wasn't a person who cared too much about these things, so he left after hearing Yatoku's apologetic farewell. But when he arrived at the gathering place of the civilians, he only saw a group of tired knights and soldiers covered in blood and some officers who were lecturing. He didn't see Karina. That was why he immediately hid in the woods and observed the soldiers who were recuperating. He wanted to find Karina among them. After all, with his current identity as a wanted criminal, he couldn't appear in Demacia openly. But to his disappointment, he still couldn't find Karina after searching as much as he could.
"She couldn't have been caught, right?"
Li Ke's expression turned a little ugly. After all, he immediately thought of Karina's arm that he had healed. In Demacia, a country that opposed magic, an arm that grew out would naturally be troublesome. But when he was about to go out and ask, he heard a scream behind him. He immediately turned around and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. But he didn't see any guards. What he saw was Lux, whose face was dirty as if she was looking for something, and Garen, who stood beside her with a complicated expression.
At this moment, Karina, who was chasing after Luna, her fiancé's lover, finally caught up with the spy from Noxus. But before she could do anything, the woman with a wound on her chest fell to the ground.
Karina didn't help this lively but pitiful girl. She stared at her tear-stained cheeks and couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"Why are you still alive?"
Karina already knew about Luna's death when she returned to Demacia. Although she didn't know whether it was her fiancé's family or the other members of the Royal Family who did it, she didn't know. But there was no doubt that both families wouldn't leave anyone alive. This wasn't hatred toward her 'love rival', but confidence in the strength of both families. If they couldn't even kill an ordinary girl from Pirtwof, then the two families would definitely not hire them.
But what surprised Karina was the words that came out of Luna's mouth. Luna's words were so shocking.
"I should be the one asking you that! I'm already dead! Why did you kill Zanem! You've already gotten him! He has no way to resist your damned marriage contract! You … You … "
After she finished speaking, she began to cry, and the gauze on her chest began to turn red again. It was obvious that the gauze was damaged because of the running, and the wound began to bleed again. Her words also made Karina understand a lot of things. That is, this girl's assassination was something that she had planned herself. She wanted her beloved Zanem to live on and not be forced by his family. This made Karina couldn't help but think of Zanem's elder brother, the one who actually controlled his family, a person who loved all his brothers and sisters.
"He's probably the only one who would do something like this. He told this girl everything and even arranged a fake death."
Karina couldn't help but clench her fists at the thought of such deception. It was obvious that Zhanem had given up on her for his younger brother. If this was really the case, then her marriage with Zanem would still be unfortunate. Zhanem would definitely find Runa, and then her family would also be finished.
This was irresponsible to both families!
This kind of behavior made Karina feel a wave of disgust, but it also made her feel a little nervous.
Then, was it really Noxus's spy who killed Zanem?
With this thought in mind, she couldn't help but squat on the ground, then put her hand on the shoulder of the crying girl, wanting to comfort her.
"Things have come to this point, no one wanted … Zanem …"
Carina really wanted to say that the other party only had herself to blame, but in her current state of mind, she had a trace of enlightenment. Therefore, her long-held moral values allowed her to start persuading this girl by putting the blame on herself. After all, if the two of them were exchanged, Karina felt that she would also be in despair. After all, she faked her death to give up on her love, and used this method to let her lover live, but her lover still died because of it.
"… If I didn't indulge him and endure his mistakes and actions, then maybe Zanem wouldn't have taken this step, after all …"
But before Karina could finish her words, her neck was already close enough, and a flash of light appeared in her eyes. Karina subconsciously raised her hand to block and rolled away from Luna's side, but before she could stand up, she saw a tanned long leg kick her shoulder, causing her to stumble to the ground, and a dagger was placed on her neck.
"Yeah, it's all your fault, isn't it?"
Luna showed a nasty smile, just like the one in front of Zanem.
