"This city is sick. Whether it's Zu An or Pildwolf, they're all sick."
Li Ke leaned against the railing by the sea, breathing in the fresh air and carrying their gold, and complained to the sea.
"Why would you say that?"
Sarah asked curiously as she ate the specialty of this city, which was ice cream. In her opinion, this was perfectly normal. After all, this kind of business was common everywhere. As a port city, it couldn't be any more normal to do this kind of business.
"The higher-ups have let down this city, while the lower-ups don't know what they need to do to get out of this predicament. Those who stood in the middle class yearned to enter the upper class, but they also despised the pitiful creatures at the lower class … because they didn't understand that they would never be able to enter the true upper class. They could only look down on the people at the lower class like clowns. They called themselves elites and civilised, but they flattered like dogs, and had no bottom line in order to curry favor with the big shots. However, the most ridiculous thing was that these people didn't understand that without them, those high and mighty upper echelons wouldn't exist at all. That's why they call themselves the city of evolution, but half of the people are sleeping … If this isn't sick, then what is it? "
In Li Ke's perception, he didn't sense anyone spying on him, nor did he sense any energy fluctuations. Therefore, he openly expressed his thoughts. Sarah was stunned for a moment before she understood what Li Ke meant. She silently used her bright red tongue to lick the white cream that had melted on her hand. Then, she sighed and said, "That's right.
"You're going against all civilized societies …"
But Li Ke was unusually disdainful. He pointed at the city behind him.
"You call this a civilized society? This isn't the civilization I know, so … Sarah, I need to take a closer look at this place before I decide whether to destroy it. Before that, there are many things I need you to do. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with the ship, as well as the matter of establishing contact with Freldrod and Shurima. "
Li Ke silently gripped the railing and thought about the knowledge he already knew to determine what could help him.
"No problem, I've already sent a message before. My old friends will be here soon … But if there's no one in Shurima, and you want to stay here, it'll be difficult for us to meet again."
Sarah didn't want to leave Li Ke's side, but the longer she was at peace, the longer her desire to build a career in the waves was suppressed. Even she felt it. If she couldn't command the winds and clouds at sea, she would soon be tired of life on land. Although she no longer lacked money, a good life, and loved ones, a large part of her heart was still occupied by building a career.
Just like Eich, she was born with a restless heart. She wanted to leave behind a mark that belonged solely to her in this world.
"Well, after Kassadin and the others are healed by Nasus, I'll also summon him to help. By then, your work will be reduced a lot."
When Li Ke thought of Kassadin, who he threw to Nasus for treatment, he also thought of the Sun Astral Spirit who began to heal himself after he was almost done. The Sun Astral Spirit didn't let him completely heal his wounds. The reason was that every time Li Ke treated his wounds, a white-haired woman would secretly look at his neck and heart. This made the polite Leona feel embarrassed to treat him completely.
"But if I think about it this way, I'm really not a good doctor. I didn't even finish treating a patient before I ran away."
Li Ke couldn't help but laugh at himself. In order to not fall deeper into Shurima's trap and maintain an aloof attitude, he neglected too many things. But before Sarah could say anything, Li Ke sensed something rushing toward Sarah's head at high speed. He immediately stretched out his arm, grabbed Sarah, and condensed the ascender's power in his body into a light blade in his palm. He then slashed the thing that was coming at him.
And at the same time, hexagonal chips appeared around them, wrapped them up, and blocked the thing that shot out from inside.
But …
"A water balloon?"
Looking at the water that flowed down his shield and the broken balloon, Li Ke first glanced around, then dispersed the barrier and looked at the culprits who did this.
A group of children.
These children were wearing small suspenders, and each of them was carrying a schoolbag. At first glance, they looked like they had just finished school. One of the older children was a pink-haired girl who looked exactly like a delinquent. The slightly older one was a dark-skinned boy with thick lips. They were surrounded by a group of children with freckles on their faces. Not only were they wearing goggles on their heads, but they were also holding balloons filled with water in their hands.
But Li Ke was sure that these people weren't the culprits, because behind these children who stopped laughing and looked uneasy, there was a little girl hiding behind the crowd with a timid and frightened look.
Almost needless to say, Li Ke and Sarah knew the culprit behind the water balloon just now.
"Ah, sir, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
But just as Sarah took a deep breath and was about to reprimand these children who had just finished school, the dark-skinned, white-haired boy walked over anxiously. When he saw the light spots on Li Ke's blade dissipating, his pupils shrank. Then, he abruptly bowed to Li Ke and Sarah in apology.
He knew who he couldn't afford to offend here, especially Zu 'an children like him. The ones he couldn't afford to offend the most were those rich people who owned all kinds of magical Hex technology. They would call the police, and then find their parents. Then, it would be fine if it was just a reprimand, but if the other party was dissatisfied, the amount of compensation they would have to pay was something that families like them didn't want to see.
Although this amount of money was just a small amount for these rich people to maintain their clothes, for families like them, it was a huge sum of money that could completely destroy their family.
But before he could finish his words, the timid little girl hurriedly ran over and staggered to the boy's side. She grabbed his hand and barely managed to stand firm. She looked at Li Ke and Sarah with teary eyes, obviously pleading and surrendering herself. This scene was filled with a strange sadness. Sarah, who was about to reprimand them, turned her head in a daze and looked at Li Ke. Her expression spoke her mind.
"Am I a bad person?"
