"Is it strange?"
Li Ke would never remember wrongly. Although he did get lost due to the changing terrain, he clearly remembered that the pile of bones was on top of a very high sand dune. It was because he fell down the sand dune that his shoes became even more tattered. But now, the sand dune was gone, leaving behind a flat plain.
This was really abnormal.
"Of course. No one knows how much sand is blown around here in a year … Oh my God, why do I have to answer such a stupid question?"
Halfway through her answer, Sivir couldn't help but cover her face. She really didn't want to answer such a boring question. And now, Li Ke asked her such a question after she saw Di Haluo also discover the pile of bones and turned away disapprovingly. Di Haluo was not only Shurima's best mercenary, but also one of Shurima's best guides. Only Cass Sai Ah Deen, the guy who knew everyone in the desert, could surpass Di Haluo in this field.
"Well, it seems that I'm a little ignorant."
Li Ke felt a little unnatural. Although he did feel a strange sense of joy after eating and drinking to his heart's content and revisiting the place where he once struggled on the brink of death, the reason why he was so talkative was mainly because of the girl's name and her possible identity.
She was the descendant of Azir, the only one with the bloodline of the sun in existence today. She was a woman who could summon three celestial beings and revive the king of an ancient empire. In a sense, she was indeed insignificant because her abilities were really not that great. Li Ke heard the sound of her swinging her sword when he pretended to be asleep. But how should he put it? She might be able to deal with some incompetent bandits and militia, but she would be at a great disadvantage against real soldiers and well-trained warriors.
And if Li Ke wanted to kill her, it would only take half a breath, even if he hadn't fully recovered yet.
He had nine ways to kill this girl in an instant. Nine ways!
However, her blood was different. This was how the world worked. The power of the bloodline did exist. Although her current ability was not good, Li Ke had to admit that this girl's quality was really high. Whether it was her strength that was slightly higher than an adult male's, her observation skills, or her sensitivity to certain things, she was the strongest existence in this team other than him.
Even that guy called Di Haluo, who seemed to have a strong background, would not be able to last as long as she did. But it was a pity that this young lady's mind wasn't complete. She was still blindly worshipping the mercenary leader named Di Haluo and didn't realize that she was much stronger than the man whom she called her teacher. Furthermore …
He was too greedy and too eager for quick success, chasing after what was in front of him. Li Ke didn't know if a girl like this could help Azir comprehend the key to ascension. In the end, Azir would rely on his enlightenment to restart the ascension ritual that had been suspended for thousands of years and complete his ascension. After all, in the original history, Azir had been on the verge of death because of Sivir's injuries. He had given up the Pool of Life, the only thing that could heal him, to the girl beside him. Only then had he completed his ascension, saving both himself and Sivir.
And Li Ke was also thinking about one thing, which was whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let the leader of an ancient empire reappear in this world. He didn't want to push this world to a worse state, but he also understood that if he didn't use Azir's sun disk, he wouldn't be able to obtain the power to fight against the Dark Ones, the Voidwalkers, and the so-called Celestial Gods.
In particular, if he released Azir, the next Queen Shurima might be this greedy girl beside him, which made him even more nervous.
But when he saw the yellow sand and recalled the lack of water in the towns he landed in, the balance in his heart had already tilted. He clearly remembered that it was because of Azir's resurrection that Shurima had regained a source of water that could feed everyone on the continent. The endless yellow sand could be turned into an oasis again.
Therefore, regardless of whether he released Azir or not, and whether Azir could successfully ascend as he knew, he had to think of a way to educate the girl beside him into a qualified Empress.
That's ridiculous. When have I ever solved a problem without killing the person who caused the problem? Only then can I solve the problem satisfactorily.
Li Ke had a headache, so he asked tentatively.
"Sivir, is Shurima very short of water?"
He felt that this question was stupid, so he succeeded in getting Sivir to look at him like he was an idiot. The other party held his head and pointed at the endless desert. He answered Li Ke's question with a voice that sounded like he was on the verge of collapse.
"I think the next time you ask this kind of question, you better look at where we are first, okay?!"
Li Ke quickly waved his hand to calm the girl.
"Err, I mean, how do the villages that lack water solve the problem? I'm curious about this. After all, I'm not from Shurima. "
But this time, Sivir's look of looking at an idiot was even more obvious. She shook her soft hair and answered Li Ke with three words.
"Shut up!"
Those three words directly blocked Li Ke's next question. His original intention was to see Sivir's opinion of the people, but now it seemed that he and Sivir were not close enough to talk, and it was impossible to trick her into helping him solve Azir's problem. Li Ke did not intend to let Di Haluo participate in this kind of thing, so he had to show some strength to prove that he was much stronger than Di Haluo, Sivir's mentor, and that he was someone she could rely on.
"I really want to knock her out and take her away …"
Li Ke could not help but sigh, but it was a pity that it was impossible. Otherwise, even if his plan succeeded, he would have to face a dog head that had been stacked for god knows how many years, a crocodile with infinite rage, and a desert emperor with infinite sand soldiers, whose range of control was as large as Shurima's, whose duration could kill him, and whose passive tower building had no cooldown, no channeling bar, and no restrictions.
He felt that he would die on the streets of Shurima, and he would probably be hung on the sun's disk to bask in the sun.
"So, hurry up and find an enemy that they can't defeat, so that I can earn a wave of reputation."
For the first time in his life, Li Ke wanted his extraordinary luck to take effect.
