For Cairns, the gate guard of Demacia, today was still a terrible day.
The rain continued to fall from the sky, and from time to time, strange things would fall from the sky. A few days ago, Old Bill was bitten by a shark that fell from the sky. Fortunately, the bite wasn't deep, and he only needed to lie in bed for a week to recover.
Although there were some lucky ones who found pearls, corals, and the like, they were in the minority. Most of them were injured by the rain and the strong winds.
In fact, a whale fell on the head of the Garrio Colossus, which represented the justice of Demacia, a few days ago. However, because of the strong wind and rain, there was no way to send workers to clean it up. So, the big and smelly whale hung on the head of the Garrio Colossus.
Moreover, the continuous rain also limited their activities. They had to spend an extra hour tidying up their armor every day. Every day when they went out on duty, they had to fill their cans with water. When they went back, they looked like water men.
However, he was also very glad that he didn't go to war with His Majesty, because living in a tent in such weather was like being tortured by water. He could already imagine the scene of his comrades rolling in the mud when they went to war.
So, he almost laughed out loud, but the stench that followed made him choke back his laughter. Demacia's sewers had been blocked for several days.
The large amount of precipitation directly caused the sewers to be congested, and the stench was overwhelming. Scholars were worried that it would cause an epidemic, but Keynes was more concerned about the fact that he hadn't been able to buy cheap bread for a long time.
Those vegetable vendors would not risk a serious illness to go out and sell vegetables. Moreover, selling goods made his originally generous salary become insufficient all of a sudden.
However, this wasn't the thing that made his mood the worst. What made his mood the worst was actually the news from the frontline.
Although Noxus had carried out another armed coup, their country was divided into two factions because of this coup. So, His Majesty felt that this was a good opportunity for their allies to return to the embrace of Demacia, and once again put an end to Noxus' threat to Demacia.
However.
None of them had expected that before the battle with Demacia, the puppet emperor's witch, Nola, had already purged and taken over all the border forces, successfully sniping the righteous army of Demacia. Then, a monster called the Void suddenly emerged from the rear of the Demacian army, causing the Demacian army to suffer heavy casualties.
Although the valiant and fearless army of justice, the Fearless Army of Demacia, had successfully used their runic steel swords to slay those monsters, the defeat of the expeditionary army was almost inevitable.
The only reason why they hadn't retreated and were defeated by the Noxus people was because of the heavy rain and strong winds.
In that case, they would have to suffer the revenge of the Noxus people, and they might have to give up on Demacia's capital and rely on this city wall to defend themselves.
At that time, his hometown …
That was the reason why he was in a bad mood. Moreover, the recent situation of the demons wreaking havoc had him worried about Demacia's situation. So, when a man wearing a raincoat with two small crossbows on his arms and a runic steel longsword and a pure silver dagger on his waist walked into the city gate, he couldn't help but ask.
"Respected brother Demon Hunter, may I ask if you have found anything?"
As he spoke, he registered the black-haired Demon Searcher who gave off a familiar feeling. And this Demon Hunter didn't seem to be in a good mood. When he took off his hood and gloves, Cairns could clearly see that there were wounds on his face. His hands were also trembling unnaturally, and his complexion didn't look good.
The Demon Hunter took the quill from Cairns and wrote his name on the damp parchment, but he didn't forget to answer Cairns' question.
"It's not good. The demons are getting more and more rampant. In fact, only the area around the capital is relatively safe now. And the Soul-devouring Black Mist has inexplicably come to Demacia. So, I'm planning to report this to the Union, so that the people won't go out anymore."
But after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his name had become a little blurred on the damp parchment.
"But it's difficult to go out in such terrible weather."
Cairns couldn't help but nod his head, and the Demon Hunter couldn't help but talk about another thing that he was worried about.
"Yes, and this year's harvest is also a problem. I'm afraid that the wheat fields in my hometown will have no harvest this year. You know, in the past, my hometown could produce a large amount of wheat every year!"
But his words made the Demon Hunter's eyes brighten up.
"You're from Iron Town?"
"Of course, you too?"
"That's right, my home is on the other side of the mountain. I don't go to the town often."
The Demon Hunter's smile dimmed a little. Cairns suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a family in Iron Town, but that family was attacked by demons when he was very young, and only one child survived.
So he patted the Demon Hunter's shoulder, untied a bag of wine from his belt, and handed it to the Demon Hunter who came from the same hometown as him.
"For the wheat of Iron Town! This wine will make you feel better. "
The Demon Hunter took the wine and hesitated for a moment. Then, he took out a runestone from his pocket and handed it to Cairns.
"This is for you. It can detect the presence of magic in the vicinity. It should be useful for you."
Cairns smiled and accepted the runestone, then pointed at the huge Colossus of Justice.
"Speaking of runestones, isn't this big guy behind us made of runestones? If only it could move and break a hole in the dark clouds in the sky, then we wouldn't have to endure this damned weather. "
The Demon Hunter smiled.
"That's impossible, you know …"
Before he could finish his words, he and Cairns saw the runestone that the Demon Hunter had just handed over suddenly lit up. Then, countless cracks rapidly appeared on the runestone, and it exploded into a pile of powder in Cairns' palm.
"This is …"
Before he could say anything, a violent tremor suddenly appeared, and a huge shadow shrouded them. They couldn't help but look at the source of the shadow.
However, they couldn't immediately see the full appearance of the existence that had traumatized them, but they could hear the voice of that existence clearly.
"The hero has arrived!"
