Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 781 Past

"By the way, Li En, why did you tell the Meat-Tooth not to go to the Paka Jungle? Do you want to rule that jungle with Nidalee?"

“Neeko!!”

"Woo~!"

Facing Nidalee's gaze, Neeko nimbly hid beside Li En.

"Of course not, but I saw Nidalee was very cold to Rengar, a meat-toothed beast, until he said he was not a member of the tribe, and then her attitude towards him improved a little.

I think that tribe of meat-toothed beasts probably had a conflict with Nidalee."

Li En smiled and touched Nicole's head.

"I believe in Nidalee's strength, but after all, the other side is an entire Vastaya tribe. If a conflict really breaks out, even if we eliminate them all, we won't be able to save the lives that have already been lost.

That's why I'm reminding you to eliminate this problem from the root. I just hope you don't mind, Nidalee."

As he spoke, Li En looked at Nidalee.

Facing these dark and serene eyes, Nidalee, who had faced countless ferocious beasts in the jungle and was not even afraid of the gaze of an elemental dragon, now avoided eye contact somewhat unnaturally.

“Well…I, I don’t mind, thank you for considering me.

My mother, Maya, the Paka jungle cat who found me in the jungle, was once attacked by the Creature Beast tribe.

It was at that time that I awakened my true power as a Vastaya, transformed into a human form, and fought off those meat-toothed beasts."

"Ah! That... Nidalee, Maya's grandma..."

"I beat them away, and Maya's mother recovered under my treatment. Three years ago... she reached the end of her life."

Nidalee paused at the end, a trace of nostalgia and sadness flashed across her face.

"Nidalee..."

Neeko moved closer to Nidalee and gently hugged her arm.

"I'm sorry, Nidalee... for bringing up such sad memories."

A gentle voice sounded, and a warm hand was gently placed on Nidalee's shoulder.

"No, no...it's okay, Li En, Maya's mother died of old age, and I have already accepted this fact."

"Um..."

Feeling that Nidalee's body was a little tense, Li En withdrew his hand in time.

"Then I will set off back to Ixtal."

"what!?"

Neeko suddenly stood up from Nidalee's side, her little face full of reluctance.

"Leen, aren't you going to the Paka Jungle with us?"

"Sorry, Nicole, maybe next time. I have a friend waiting for me to go back and treat him."

"Woo~! I see. Li En, you should leave now. The most important thing is to save your friend!"

"Li En, here are some medicines I made myself, and the 'Ye Tan Jie Lan' that Jie La gave me. You can take them all."

"Yes, yes, I'll give you the 'Ye Tan Jie Ran' from Nicole as well!"

"Crack~!"

Li En grabbed the two men's hands as they were groping in the small pockets on their waists.

"Don't bother. My friend's body is not made of flesh and blood. Her body is made of metal. These herbs are not needed to treat her."

"Huh? Made of metal!?"

"Is this...is this still a living being?!"

"Of course, Malphite, as a stone, can develop intelligence, and my friend just replaced most of his body with metal.

The technology originated from Piltover. If you are interested, I will take you to see it next time. There are also clockwork-powered humans. "

"Wow...that's amazing. Li En, we have agreed that we must take Neeko to see it!"

"Well, it's a deal."

"what?"

"It means 'yes'."

"Yeah, thank you, Li En!

Nidalee, then we..."

"I'm not interested in a place without any jungle."

"Woo~!"

"But if Li En wants to take you, then go. I feel at ease if he takes you with him."

"Hehe~! Nidalee is the easiest to mess with!"

"Okay, I'll take my leave now. Keep this thing."

Li En said this, handing over two exquisite jade pendants.

"Huh? Isn't this what you gave to that vine woman earlier, Li En?"

“Well, keep it with you. It can protect you from harm in times of crisis.

It will also notify me, and I will rush over as quickly as possible!"

"Li En, such a precious thing we..."

"Time is running out. I'm leaving now."

Before the word "了" faded away with the breeze from the treetops, Li En had already disappeared from their sight.

"Click~!"

The jade pendant fell into Nidalee's hand, and the light warm touch seemed to still carry the residual warmth of Li En's palm.

Warm, peaceful and reassuring.

"Nidalee."

"Hmm? Oh, here, Nicole, put the jade pendant away. It's time to go home."

"Oh well."

The two of them carefully put away the jade pendants and then headed towards the Paka Jungle again. This time, the journey was smooth.

...

In the classroom, a female wizard with a hunched figure and wearing a gorgeous robe was instructing the seventh Yun Alai.

“Your Highness, there are eleven tangent lines in your set of primordial axioms, and the generally accepted practice is to make a parallel line for each tangent line.

If you don’t do this, you risk introducing unnecessary graphics and unbalance.”

“The commonly accepted approach is not true mastery, and my way of connecting complements the third axiom while strengthening the fifth.

Their combined force can just offset the imbalance effect."

The Seventh Yun Alai said this and started to outline the magic circle in his hand right in front of his mentor.

"Om~!"

The magic circle gradually became stable after a period of fluctuations, and the Seventh Yun'alay showed a look of surprise on his face.

"success..."

But before she could finish her words.

"Stab~!"

The magic circle suddenly lit up, and the gathered magic power instantly went out of control.

An old, skinny hand stretched out.

"Om~!"

The out-of-control magic power turned into a breeze and dissipated under the guidance of the instructor. Apart from blowing up the corners of the two people's clothes, it did not damage anything in the classroom.

"Your Highness, you are a little too impatient."

"..."

Faced with his mentor's words, the Seventh Yun Alai fell silent.

How could she not be anxious? As the one with the best elemental talent besides Qiyana, Belisa has always been under the greatest pressure.

Although she worked hard, studying in seclusion with a mentor who was able to join the Elders Council became almost her daily routine, but even so, her progress in the 'Original Axiom' was far less than that of her youngest sister.

Sometimes she even doubted whether her sister was of the same blood as her.

After all, now that she is three years older, she is still studying under a mentor who is a member of the Elder Council, and Qiana's strength is already enough to join the Yuntal Elder Council.

This gap is like a frog in a well finally escaping from the deep well, but when it looks up at the sky, it feels more and more desperate about the gap.

As for why they are so wary of each other even though they are sisters.

The first Yunale who is still in a wheelchair, Enesa, is the best proof of this.

In that duel, Qiyana's powerful and swift figure almost became a shadow in the hearts of many sisters.

Her spoiled attitude and her sisters' self-esteem eventually became an irreconcilable contradiction.
