"Do you know who I am?"
Turning around and swinging his sword, Li Ke used the back of his sword to block the huge carrot that was wrapped in green light. Li Ke looked at the white-haired girl dressed like a bunny girl with great interest, gritting her teeth and glaring at him.
He swore that he really didn't know this girl dressed like this, but from her appearance and her clothes, she was very likely the legendary female Noxus swordsman who wielded a broken sword.
Raven.
"But I don't remember knowing such a beautiful girl like you."
Casually flicking away the huge carrot made out of wood, Li Ke casually blocked the girl's attack, not showing the slightest hint of nervousness.
"Even if I die, I will never forget your face, tyrant!"
The girl tightly clenched her teeth, continuously increasing the strength of her hand, wanting to kill this guy who destroyed her home on the spot. And ever since she grasped the sword bestowed to her by the previous Emperor of Noxus, the power she grasped began to stir. She was ready to follow the flow of the air and release a beautiful Air Severing Wave to cut Li Ke in half.
"Tyrant? I'm just a hunter. "
Hunter?
Looking at the beautiful girl next to the person who said this, as well as his excessive strength, Raven couldn't help but smile, and she was even more determined to cut Li Ke in half.
But just as she was about to do so, a scene flashed in front of her eyes.
"Dad, you don't have to fight anymore?"
"Yes, you don't have to go anymore, I can properly accompany you, my daughter."
It was a conversation between one of her soldiers and his eight-year-old daughter. She saw with her own eyes that after her troops were disbanded, the soldier, who had always been silent and lonely, had a relieved smile on his face, and the happy expression on his face when he saw his daughter.
And when he saw her in her military uniform looking at them, he was uneasy and fearful, hiding his daughter behind his back.
She knew that this was because any Noxus people who feared war and military service would be despised and killed; therefore, he was worried that she would kill him and his daughter to make her subordinates fearless of death and learn the consequences of fearing war. Therefore, she left immediately because he was no longer a soldier under her.
But from that moment on, she had a question in her mind.
Was peace better?
As Li Ke had killed Darkwill, Raven, who was an elite and trusted aide of Darkwill, was directly expelled from the army. As a family unit was disbanded, she put down her sword.
After all, on careful thought, it was impossible for the tyrant to appear in this place. The other party must be enjoying himself in his palace with those beautiful women. How could he come to such a remote place with a dead wolf on his back?
Most importantly, this was an ally of Demacia. It was very close to Demacia. Was the Emperor of Noxus looking to die here?
The only possibility was that she had made a mistake.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Raven looked at Li Ke's face with melancholy. Even though his bearing and appearance were identical to the tyrant's, she was already certain that such an arrogant person wouldn't come to such a place.
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
After apologizing, she wanted to leave and head to the kitchen to have something to eat. But at that moment, Ah Tanuki, who was beside Li Ke, narrowed her eyes in displeasure. She couldn't stand people who casually attacked before apologizing when they realized they couldn't beat them.
This was because Li Ke had beaten this fellow, but what if he hadn't?
"Is this how you treat your customers!?"
She looked unhappily at the tavern owner who was trembling in fear and asked her question.
Our tavern really doesn't have any customers who bring beautiful girls here.
Even though he was somewhat puzzled as to why Li Ke would bring so many beautiful girls to the Bunny Girl Tavern, the tavern owner hurriedly walked over with an obsequious smile. After all, even though he was quite influential, he was still in the service industry. Acting arrogant in front of customers was a very unintelligent behavior.
"That, she's new here and doesn't know the rules. How about this, I'll give you a 20% discount today? Ah! Also! Rui Mengmeng! Quickly apologize! And there's no dinner for you today! "
The tavern owner kept nodding his head and bowing. In fact, if Raven directly beat the other party down, it would be fine. But no matter how he looked at it, the other party had the upper hand, so he was very polite. When Li Ke heard this name, he almost spat it out. The name Rui Mengmeng was invented by players on Earth, but here it was just a nickname.
Moreover, from this name, this girl really was Rui Wen.
After hearing this, Raven hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about her appetite and her meager pockets, she finally sighed helplessly and walked back to Li Ke and the others.
"Sorry, I'm not sensible."
Without needing the tavern owner to say anything, she skillfully assumed this posture and bowed to Li Ke. It was obvious that she often apologized like this.
"Speak louder!"
But this time, she retreated without a fight, and the dissatisfaction she usually gave the tavern owner made him explode. The other party pulled out a strange smile and fiercely pressed on Raven's neck, making her bow even lower, almost kneeling on the ground.
If it was in the past, Raven would have definitely put her sword in this idiot's body. But after being expelled from the army, she didn't know how to do anything except kill people. Moreover, her appetite was especially big. She could only bite her lips and endure this feeling of humiliation.
She had no money, no family, and the only place that could be called home had disappeared with the disappearance of the previous emperor. The glory of the past not only couldn't become her capital, but instead became her nightmare. She couldn't even stay in the country of her birth and could only leave alone to make a living in other places.
But she didn't know anything, so she could only find a job in this kind of place.
"Sorry! I'm not sensible! I'm really sorry for causing you trouble! "
She loudly apologized again, doing what she absolutely wanted to do in the past, but now she had to apologize to the face of the person she hated the most under the pressure of someone she could casually kill. Raven didn't know what her current mood was because she had joined the Noxus army when she was seven or eight years old. But now she knew …
She wanted to cry.
It shouldn't have been like this.
She fought hard, trained hard, and fought constantly with her comrades. She could live happily for the Empire, and find someone who was willing to call her sister and become family with her. She would no longer be lonely, and she would no longer be bullied.
But now, not only was she alone, she didn't have enough to eat, and she was hated by everyone. Even if she had great power, she could only do things she didn't like.
Did she do something wrong?
She didn't know, and no one had ever told her.
The best thing she could think of now was the past, and the smiling face of that little girl when she saw her father.
It was because of these good times that she forced herself not to cry.
"There's no need to insult people like this. She just mistook me for someone else, and no one got hurt, right?"
Li Ke casually pushed away the tavern owner's hand, allowing Raven to stand firm. He knew that Raven didn't mistook him for someone else. He was just curious as to why Raven was here. According to the timeline, she should be fighting in Ionia, or in another army. It was impossible for her to be in a small town near Demacia.
But this matter wasn't very important.
"Also, prepare some food for us."
Li Ke casually placed the sword he had made from iron ore on his back, and led his people into the tavern. But when he walked in, he discovered that he had underestimated the people's pursuit of pleasure.
More than a dozen waitresses wearing the same bunny girl costume as Raven were sitting there chatting in boredom. There was also a high stage in front of the bar, clearly a place for dancing. And there was another one.
When they saw Li Ke enter the tavern, those bunny girls with pretty makeup and good figures walked towards Li Ke. But when they saw the people Li Ke brought along, they hesitated for a moment. After all, who would come to this kind of place with such beautiful female companions, let alone a group of them?
Their professionalism made them walk towards Li Ke. After all, the tastes of rich people these days were unpredictable. Who knew if the other party would like to see them being taken advantage of by women, or play some girl's quarrel?
But before they even got close, Little Tanuki's pair of beastly eyes stared at them, causing most of them to almost pee their pants. Don't look at Little Tanuki as a stupid fox in front of Li Ke, she was a true top predator. For ordinary people, Little Tanuki was no different from a 10 meter long tiger.
In the end, the tavern owner came over with the menu and ordered for Li Ke's group.
The dishes here weren't very good, although they were expensive. The taste of the wine was also average, although it was very expensive. Even Li Ke, who wasn't very sensitive to the value of money here, felt that the consumption here was quite high.
But he also knew that this was a nightclub, so high consumption was normal, so he didn't trouble the tavern owner.
"So you let that woman go?"
Fiddling with the unpalatable noodles, Little Tanuki looked at Li Ke who was holding a bread and struggling with the equally unpalatable stew, and asked without rhyme or reason.
"You mean that girl called Raven? In a sense, she didn't recognize the wrong person, and she apologized quickly, so I don't intend to pursue it. I just want to investigate the situation around here. "
Sitting up, he hugged a bunny girl who was passing by with a glass of wine, and hugged her tightly in his arms under the girl's somewhat fearful gaze. Little Tanuki looked at Li Ke with an unfriendly gaze, which made the bunny girl who was hugged by Li Ke even more uneasy.
At this time, the tavern started to have other customers, and whether it was the two Yodels, Lilia, or Little Tanuki, they were all more conspicuous. So even though Little Tanuki was just quietly eating her food, she could feel some people casting unkind gazes at her from time to time.
In addition, Li Ke didn't play with her, a vixen, and went to hug a bunny girl who was obviously after money. Little Tanuki, who was already unhappy, pulled Lilia, who was still eating her salad, and brought the two Yodels to the room they booked.
"Lilia and I are going to rest!"
She left in a huff. Li Ke also moved his hand away from the bunny girl's long legs, which was wearing black stockings. He did this to let Little Tanuki and the others go away. After all, Little Tanuki's attitude towards Raven wasn't very good, and this tavern was indeed not suitable for girls like them to appear in public.
Rhode put a gold coin into the bunny girl's fair hand that seemed to have done farm work before, but didn't have enough to do it recently, thus dispelling her fear of Little Tanuki. The bunny girl naturally revealed a knowing smile and moved closer to Li Ke.
However, to her surprise, Li Ke didn't touch her. Instead, he placed her on a stool and pointed to the steaming hot food on the table.
"Eat. You must be hungry at this time, right? You can only talk when you're full, right? "
After saying this, Li Ke took out a dozen gold coins and placed them on the table. Under the hopeful gaze of the bunny girl, he put on a gentle expression.
"Tell me about your living environment and the problems in your life. If I'm satisfied, these gold coins are yours."
The bunny girl hesitated for a moment. She looked at the gold coins and the smiling Li Ke and asked tentatively.
"… What problems?"
She was a little afraid, but for the sake of money, she decided to answer Li Ke's question.
"What did you do before?"
"Farmer."
"Why did you come here?"
Li Ke's question made the bunny girl dazed for a moment. Although Li Ke's question wasn't the kind that scared her and would kill her, it was still a nightmare for her.
"I owed money. I couldn't pay it back by simply farming."
"How did you owe money?"
"My father was sick, and then he died. My fiancé joined the army and died. The harvest in the fields wasn't good, and we didn't have enough money to spend. So in order to support my brother, I could only come here."
"How much did you borrow?"
"10 gold coins."
Speaking until here, the bunny girl couldn't help but touch the wine bottle she put aside. When Li Ke saw this, he directly pushed two gold coins to her.
"Take it as my treat."
The bunny girl went silent. She really didn't understand what Li Ke wanted to do. If he wanted to have fun, he could've just said it. She was afraid that Li Ke was using her past as a joke and making fun of her.
But …
It was fine as long as she could earn money.
She picked up the wine glass and poured herself a glass. Then, she was about to continue her story, but at this moment, Raven suddenly appeared beside Li Ke and sat at the same table.
