Sareth had naturally never heard of such a thing. After all, he was just a child who lacked education. That was why he was willing to become Li Ke's disciple and serve his ideas. In exchange, Li Ke would send someone to take care of the arrangements for the mages who were expelled from Demacia. Li Ke didn't need to worry about such a small matter because his maidservants would take care of everything.
After that, Li Ke chatted with this future hero for a while, and didn't talk too much about this issue because the banquet was coming to an end. Li Ke also handed a few books he carried with him to Sareth and told him to read these magic books and learn magic knowledge for the next few days. After Li Ke was done with his work, Sareth would learn from him how to save the mages.
After that, it was time to rest.
"Ugh … I haven't showered yet."
Aichy, who was hugged by Li Ke's waist, gently nudged Li Ke's chest with her elbow. Her attitude of wanting to resist wasn't very convincing. She could only allow Li Ke, who had suddenly hugged her, to carry her in a princess carry. Li Ke didn't see Sejuani nearby, so it was obvious that she had gone somewhere else.
"I don't care about that … Where is our room?"
Upon hearing Li Ke's question, Aichy hugged his neck and pointed to the sturdiest house in the village. Her ability to speak was naturally taken away. After Li Ke brought her to the room, lifted her blue battle robe, and revealed her jade-like skin, she regained her ability to speak. What followed was a series of whimpers, which made the others consciously stay away from the room. Only a few guards hesitated whether to continue standing guard to protect their leader. But when they were about to do so, they realized that their Battle Mother's blood alliance, Sejuani of the Winter Claw, was already sitting in front of the house with a weapon, quietly guarding it with her arms crossed.
And … there was a slightly complicated expression on her face.
These complicated emotions lasted until the next morning. After Aichy couldn't help but lament because Li Ke injected vitality into her, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. Sejuani left the door of the house and prepared for the next step. The two of them, who had been talking about the pain of lovesickness for the entire night, didn't take too long to sort everything out and lead their team to Aichy's capital for the next step of the arrangements.
…
"So, you came back for a more important matter, so you can't go back with me for the time being?"
Ashe leaned against Li Ke's embrace as she sat on her war horse. After all, her husband had just reunited with her after being away from home for so long, and now he was going to leave again? Even if she was someone who prioritized the big picture, she still found it hard to accept such a thing.
"Yes. Do you still remember the demon who forced me to leave you? Although I did break free from his control physically, I wasn't able to kill him. So this time, I came to find Aoun and ask him to help me forge a weapon to kill him completely. Only when he is truly dead will I be able to do what I need to do in peace. "
Li Ke nodded. He didn't know what Atokus was planning, but the most important thing was to get the weapon he needed as soon as possible.
"Aoun, huh? If you want to find him, I will ask Avinia for help so that you can make a trip home. "
She unnaturally stroked her lower abdomen and recalled the warm feeling from before. She really wanted to spend more time with Li Ke. Even if all she did was lie in his arms and do nothing, she felt that she could sleep soundly for an entire day. Furthermore, she felt that the entire day would be incomparably fulfilling.
"No need. I have his power in my body and I can vaguely sense his presence. So there's no need to spend so much effort to find Avinia. Besides, forging a weapon isn't something that can be done in a short time. I will find you during this time. This way, I can reunite with you faster, right? Don't worry, I won't leave so easily this time. "
Li Ke didn't intend to waste any more time. Besides, he was afraid that after returning with Aichy, it would be hard for him to remember this matter for half a month. So he forced himself to separate from his wife so that he could resolve this matter as soon as possible.
"Okay, I will wait for you to come back."
Looking at the endless mountain range, Aichy was a little disappointed. She thought that she wouldn't leave again after returning this time, but she had to separate again immediately. She had a feeling that Li Ke wouldn't stay in Freldrod forever. Instead, he would leave this land from time to time because this land was too small for him. This chain of his was also too weak, and it was very difficult to completely bind him.
"I understand. Come back early."
Aichy didn't miss Li Ke's embrace and didn't look at Sejuani's complicated expression. She pulled herself out from Li Ke's embrace. On the other hand, Li Ke pinched his palm regretfully and glanced at the maidservant beside him. The maidservant bowed respectfully on the horse to express her attitude.
"I will listen to Matriarch's orders."
Of course, she was a smart person. She knew her identity and role, so she wouldn't cause any problems at this time.
"Okay, I will be back as soon as possible. If everything goes well, we will be able to meet again at night."
Li Ke jumped off the horse and during this process, his body was covered in a layer of black armor. When he landed on the ground, he leaped into the sky above Freldrod and drew a dazzling trail in the azure sky.
His actions received a lot of exclamations and at the same time, exposed him to Freldrod. Lisandra, who was sleeping with the Frost Sentinels on the ice surface, lifted her head and gazed in the direction where Li Ke was flying. Avernia, who was observing the vast land, also shifted her gaze to the man flying in the sky. The forces that were constantly plotting and carrying out certain activities in the dark began to think of countermeasures after witnessing Li Ke's flight to prevent their interests from being harmed by Li Ke.
On the other hand, Aoun, whom Li Ke was searching for, didn't notice at all. He continued to forge what he wanted in his home and didn't realize that he was about to step into a new whirlpool. The footprints of the evil demon that Li Ke wanted to kill also set foot on a forbidden land at this time and released the thing inside.
