Not long after, Li Ke's small boat sailed away under the gaze of the indignant Noxus soldiers, as well as a large number of nobles who didn't know whether Li Ke was a friend or foe. Li Ke's small boat sailed away swiftly, leaving the nobles gnashing their teeth in anger. When they thought of the political implications of Li Ke's words, they felt even more uncomfortable.
"Go and investigate. I want to know which bastard caused us such a huge problem!"
The captain whose face was smeared with brain matter by Li Ke and the other captains came to a consensus after a fruitless discussion. Therefore, after they rescued the soldiers thrown overboard by Li Ke, they quickly understood the reason why they remained silent and sent all relevant personnel to the death list.
Because of two vulgarities.
But even if they knew, what could they do? They still had to think of a solution. After all, no one could guarantee that there weren't any Duke Ka Ao assassins and spies among their men. They couldn't afford to gamble.
On Li Ke's side, the atmosphere on the ship was extremely heavy. Of course, it was mainly Drizzt and Graves who were more solemn. Both of them had shown their faces today. Not to mention whether they could still mingle with Shurima's forces in the future, the Noxus people's assassins and the imminent pursuit made them feel like they couldn't handle it.
As for Li Ke and Sarah, they were relatively relaxed. Sarah even had the mood to sit in the captain's cabin and play with Youmi, stroking its soft fur from time to time. It was at this time that Li Ke appeared in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Sarah, but it's obvious that we're in trouble."
Li Ke coughed softly. He felt a little embarrassed that his rashness had caused the people around him to be in danger. Sarah rolled her eyes at him. She put Youmi on the table and let the cat play by itself. Then, she pointed at the map in front of her and gently ran her fingers through her hair.
"It's not considered trouble. As long as we don't go into Piltwof's pocket or go ashore, the Noxus people aren't a threat to us. Most of their fleet has already moved to surround the Demacians who are always trying to open the sea route. What's left is just those weaklings you just encountered. In fact, in the past, I often went against the Noxus people with my bounty hunter companions. Otherwise, where do you think the bounty on my head came from? "
Sarah pointed at Shurima and circled her finger around Shurima on the map before pointing at the place she came from.
"So, apart from making a big detour, there's nothing else left. When the limelight is over, we can still go wherever we want, as long as we don't run into the Noxus bounty hunters. "
Although Miss Sarah said it casually, Li Ke could tell from the two autistic guys outside the room that this was definitely not the case.
"Well, I understand."
But he didn't say anything. In this kind of situation, other than actions, any words would be shirking responsibility. He just had to find a way to solve her bounty.
"Really."
Sarah couldn't help but shake her head. She pointed at the ship's warehouse, then held Li Ke's face.
"And we have enough supplies, so don't be so depressed, okay? It looks like you owe me something. Please, you saved me, and you avenged me. Can't you be a little more casual? Especially to me. "
After she finished speaking, she nervously swallowed her saliva. This time, Li Ke didn't turn his head away. Instead, he looked straight into her eyes. Therefore, this time, she turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to look into Li Ke's eyes. But when she turned her head, she couldn't help but mutter a sentence.
"… No one will blame you, but why do you have to live such a tiring life? Is there anyone who rewards me for being a gentleman? "
Her words reminded Li Ke of Morgana, who helped him in Demacia without asking for anything in return. Morgana, the goddess who always treated others as children and would be touched by every minute of kindness. So, he hugged Sarah and patted her back.
"Well, I know, I'll be more casual next time."
To be honest, in the face of such a girl, it was impossible for Li Ke not to be tempted. Recently, whenever he felt something, he would hold Yatox in his hand to prevent himself from doing anything, but he still messed things up because of his impulsiveness.
"Do you really think it's impulse?"
Yatox could always appear when Li Ke didn't want him to. This time, he mercilessly mocked Li Ke and said the harsh truth he saw.
"You were very happy when you used those clumsy tricks to deceive those people. You didn't kill them because they were actually suffering civilians? Don't lie, you just want them to be disappointed in that country! Then you let them be killed by their own people! Hahaha, that's more painful than killing them with a sword, isn't it? "
Li Ke originally wanted to let go of Sarah and let this hug be a hug between friends, but his movements froze because of Yatox's words. Because what Yatox said was true. Although he found a lot of reasons and plans to cover up his thoughts, this was his real purpose. When he thought of those who sincerely worked for Noxus and had their families destroyed because of his clumsy tricks, an inexplicable sense of comfort appeared in his heart.
"Your hatred is still affecting you, but you are delusional enough to lock it up with your so-called morals and honor. You think that you should follow the actions of the saints in your impression in order to make your new life not full of regrets but 'meaningful'?! Hahahaha!! How ironic! What's the difference between you and me? What makes you think I'm crazy in your heart? That I'm a murderous demon king? "
Yatox's voice was quite deranged, just like in the game. He wantonly mocked Li Ke's inner thoughts.
"The saints' game is not fun! You can't play it anymore, idiot! You'll always be a gladiator, a slave! An executioner, a plaything … and a hypocritical clown. "
Li Ke knew very well that this was Yatox's erosion of his soul. Once he agreed with Yatox's words, his soul would gradually be controlled by him, just like before. Although he could learn all kinds of strange fighting methods from Yatox's memory, the loopholes in his soul would also be seen through by him.
However, he couldn't deny it.
He was indeed full of hatred, a hatred that had become distorted due to suppression.
