Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 161 Magical Girl Jinx

When Li Ke returned, he told Jinx what happened today. Although she didn't care about these things at all, it was Li Ke's habit.

Just like Jinx would share her weird inventions and toys with Li Ke every day.

Li Ke would also tell Jinx about what happened in his daily life.

Although she was not interested, Jinx still sat obediently at the dining table and listened to Li Ke talk about the people he met today.

On the way, she would occasionally chat with me.

"So she's very powerful? But Li Ke, she's younger than me. Can she really beat Fandel?"

"Yes, she is very, very powerful, but Irelia, who will be here in a few days, should be even more powerful than her."

Jinx held the chopsticks in her mouth and muttered, "Then Li Ke, do you think I can become as powerful as them?"

"When you use the weapons you made yourself, I think you are actually more powerful than them, right?" Li Ke said after thinking for a while.

When technology develops to a certain level, it can create movements that are no less powerful than those of a demigod.

Jinx can't do it now, but that may not be the case in the future. Li Ke believes that the power of the complete Super Ultimate Death Missile is no less than that of a missile.

If Jinx uses this thing to bombard the Order of the Balance, can Akali handle it?
The answer is obviously no.

Under the bombardment of the Ultra Death Missile, no matter how fast or agile Akali is, she cannot avoid this "natural disaster" level area attack.

After all, Akali may be very strong and can deal with dozens or hundreds of Noxians alone, but she is still in the category of "human". She will be injured if hit by a gun and will be scarred if stabbed by a sword.

On the contrary, if Akali tries to assassinate Jinx, Jinx won't be able to survive more than two moves in her hands.

But it is obvious that what Jinx is talking about at this moment is not the same thing as what Li Ke is referring to.

"I mean myself. I mean, can I become as powerful as you guys, without weapons?" Jinx said, slumped over the table, biting her chopsticks and holding her head. She looked a little listless.

After coming out of Zaun, Jinx discovered that there were too many powerful guys in this world. Before in Zaun, Jinx felt that she was strong enough to fight. She didn't need any weapons. She could beat three or five people together with just her fists and feet.

What Wei can do, she can do too.

But after she really came out, she realized that she had thought the world was too simple, especially in Ionia.
There are so many amazing people. A few days ago, when she went fishing with Li Ke in the evening, she saw with her own eyes a resident of Yuanjie Village, who is a farmer in the town, who could jump more than three meters high with one foot!

Damn! It’s over three meters high!
And he didn't look like he was putting in much effort, looking very relaxed.

This made Jinx deeply suspicious. They were all human, so why were the physical fitness of the Zaun people so much worse than that of the Ionians?
Is it because of magic?
Because the Ionians eat magical food every day and live in an environment full of magic, their bodies are changed?
The more Jinx thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct, but then she discovered that this was a long process of change, or in Victor's words, an evolution.

The Ionians have lived here for countless years, and it took nearly ten thousand years, through generations of genetic changes, to become what they are today.

Therefore, it is not to say that Jinx can live here for a while, eat some local fruits, and then she will be able to jump more than three meters away with ease like the Ionians.

"Why do you want to become stronger for no reason?" Li Ke said with a smile as he looked at Jinx, whose appetite had greatly decreased.

To become stronger
Jinx can indeed become stronger by using Zaun's existing glimmer technology and becoming a glimmer cyborg.

After all, in the original War of the Two Cities, wasn't Jinx given the ability to shimmer by Singed and turned into "Glimmer Superman"?

But that level of strength is only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Without the weapons she made herself, she still cannot compare with Akali.

"Sense of crisis, Li Ke, I have a sense of crisis now, do you understand?" She looked at Li Ke and continued, "After leaving Zaun, you have met more and more people, and they are all young, capable and beautiful women."

As he was talking, Xiao Jin sighed: "Alas"

In Zaun, Li Ke is also very popular, but everyone is afraid of the blue-haired little lunatic. But after leaving Zaun, it’s different. No one knows Jinx at all!

Besides, what happened in Bilgewater was a wake-up call for Jinx.

This guy Li Ke is really charming.
Like a deflated ball, Jinx slumped on the table, eating bite by bite.

Seeing this, Li Ke stood up and rubbed Jinx's head, smiling and said, "Haven't I told you countless times, don't think too much, I won't leave you."

"I know, but I can't help it because it's a woman's nature to have wild thoughts." Jinx said with a wrinkled nose.

"If you want to become stronger, I'll see if I can think of a way then." Li Ke thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be a bad thing to make Xiao Jin stronger.

If she has a sense of crisis, she will feel uneasy. Besides, becoming stronger will also allow Jinx to protect herself, which is a good thing.

So Li Ke said, "You, please be more respectful to Janna when you return to Zaun, and stop treating her as a pet."

"What do you mean, can Janna make me stronger?" Jinx's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she stood up and looked at Li Ke and said.

She is very smart. Although Li Ke didn't say it explicitly, Jinx has captured the key information just from this one sentence!

Don't say that, if Janna can make me stronger, then I will honor Janna when I go back! I will never poke her belly with a pen or rub her head again.

It’s just about respecting the gods. I, Jinx, can do it!

"Janna is a deity. The more people believe in her, the more powerful she will become. A deity is one that can do things that ordinary people cannot understand. Otherwise, how can it be a deity?"

"So when you go back, respect Janna and build a good relationship with her. When her strength is fully restored in the future, you can ask her for help. She will definitely make you stronger, and by then you will even have the ability to use magic." Li Ke said to Jinx.

He felt that this method was really feasible. After all, he gained magical powers with the help of Ahri and Kindred, and there were various deeds in Runeterra that proved that the spokespersons of the gods could possess extraordinary powers.

If you think about it, it's a bit like a protection?
Anivia granted humans the power of true ice, the devil gave Nyra the strength of a demigod, and the Targon chose mortals to be his spokespersons and transformed them into Protoss.

Even in Ionia, the power of the prophet Karma is actually a kind of inheritance.
Therefore, after Janna regains her strength, she will be able to do this.

But let Jinx gain Janna's abilities?

Li Ke felt strange whenever he thought of that scene.

Li Ke had never thought before that Jinx could do magic. Just think about it, a genius in scientific research suddenly started playing magic. This is very strange. Is it strange?
Wait, that’s not right. Li Ke suddenly thought of something. It seems not surprising that Jinx knows magic.

Because he remembered the skin universe, in the Star Guardian skin, Jinx was a magical girl.
She's the kind of magical girl who shouts about friendship, bond, and becomes passionate!

Li Ke thought about how Jinx used magic, but what about Jinx?
When she heard that she could become stronger, she immediately became happy again. Her little emotion came and went quickly, and she lowered her head and started to eat.

In the early morning of Navoli, in the rebel camp, Irelia was dressed neatly, with several silver blades floating behind her. She walked out of the house and appeared outside the camp.

Rubbing her visor, Irelia felt the cold.

The northern part of Ionia is too close to the Freljord and has continuous icebergs. Therefore, affected by the environment and climate there, the air in Navoli in the early morning will be full of moisture. When the breeze blows, without the shelter of trees, the cold wind with moisture is very biting.

This made Irelia couldn't help but shake her shoulders and rub her body to make it warm.

She raised her head and looked at the other side of the camp, where an elderly peasant woman was sitting alone on a recliner taking a nap. "Old lady, why are you out so early?" Irelia thought for a moment and walked over to ask.

The old woman opened her eyes and saw Irelia. She immediately smiled, revealing a smile with several missing front teeth, and said, "As I get older, I sleep less. I really couldn't sleep, so I came out to sit for a while."

"You can't fall asleep here. It's very humid in the early morning and it would be bad if you get sick." Irelia said seriously.

She is always very patient when dealing with the elderly.

"It's okay. I'm wearing quite thick clothes. But you, the daughter of the Zan family, why don't you sleep a little longer? You are in the period of growing up now." The old woman said to Irelia. As she spoke, she sat up, reached into her pocket, and took out a handful of fruits. They were dried fruits with hard skins.

Grabbing a handful, he handed it to Irelia, who said with a smile, "Want some?"

"There's not much food left," Irelia said, looking at the fruit in her hand.

The surrounding forest spirits went berserk and the camp lacked food. People like Irelia could only eat two meals a day, not to mention the ordinary people in the camp.

"Relax, daughter of the Zan family. We have never lacked food here." The old woman smiled, reached out and took out a small knife from her back, she pried open the fruit, put it in her mouth and began to chew it.

After chewing it for a few times, she said, "You see, this thing is not suitable for an old man like me."

Irelia used her thumb to crush the shell of the fruit with a little force, took out the fruit inside, put it in her mouth, and began to chew it.

The fruit tastes very fragrant and sweet.

Irelia couldn't help but crush another one and started eating it.

Seeing this, the old man pried open the fruit in his hand with a knife and handed it to Irelia.

"Don't you want to eat?" Irelia said to her.

"I'm old, my teeth are not good enough, and I can't bite anymore," the old man replied.

Irelia nodded, and she ate each one the old man pried open.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent, and then Irelia couldn't help but say, "Would you like to hear me complain?"

"Of course, you are our leader."

Irelia was stunned. "Leader?" Shaking her head, she said, "But I never thought of being a leader. Besides, I am not worthy of being a leader at all."

The old man looked at Irelia in surprise and said, "Why do you think so?"

"I killed another person yesterday, a former companion of ours." Irelia said, a trace of grief flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head, clenched the dried fruit in her hands, and whispered, "The cemetery is full of corpses. Before, they were compatriots who died in the war with Noxus. Now, they are compatriots killed by my own hands."

"This is the fourth person this month."

The old man said nothing, just looked at Irelia quietly and listened to the child's complaints.

Sometimes, she also felt that they were too cruel, putting all the responsibilities on the child. Fifteen years old, in the prime of her youth, should be pampered at home, loved by her parents, and cared for by her elders.

However, she became the leader and was pushed to that position by everyone, and no one asked her whether she wanted to or was willing to do it.

This seems to be the way it should be, as it should be.

"No one wants to accept the end of the lives of people they know. These are all forced. I have told myself more than once that if this land is handed over to the Brotherhood, it will not be much better than Noxus."

"But, I am really, really tired."

After Irelia finished speaking, her body trembled, because she found her hand was held by a calloused hand. The hand was warm and radiated heat, which made Irelia couldn't help but raise her head.

Then she looked into the old man's eyes.

"Everything is arranged by the Wanling, child." The old man looked at Irelia and said seriously: "This is not your fault."

"But I destroyed peace. Sometimes I even wonder if I killed peace with my own hands. If I had not chosen to leave the Brotherhood, if I..."

"Trust your instincts. Didn't you just say that if this land was controlled by the Brotherhood, the situation would not be better than Noxus?"

"But peace." Irelia became a little anxious.

"Peace? What a beautiful word. Believe me, child, I know what peaceful times are like better than you do. I miss those days. Those days were so beautiful."

The old man said, loosening his grip, picking up the dried fruit and knife, and prying the fruit towards Irelia.

"But the world has changed. Today is no longer the same as it was before. For me, you, and everyone else, there is no need to hold on to the past."

She put the pried fruit into Irelia's hand and said with a smile: "You know what? When I was young, I could pry open the plum fruit with my hands just like you, without a knife. At that time, I was very strong and my teeth were good. I could eat anything, but now I can't do that anymore. The young me would definitely be unhappy about this, but what does it matter?"

"Because the young me doesn't need to live in the here and now."

Irelia blinked, as if she understood, but she seemed not to understand what the old man meant.

But she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Wen Pai told me to go to Yuanjie Village and recruit two people to join the resistance army. But is it a good thing or a bad thing to invite them to join us now?"

Irelia asked the old man.

She believed in the wisdom of the elderly because they had seen all kinds of things over a long period of time.

Her grandmother was like that, and Irelia still remembers her words.

The old man looked up at Irelia, then lay back in his chair, closed his eyes and said:

"I think you should think it through, daughter of the Zan family."

"You look much more cheerful now than before."

"."

Irelia was silent for two seconds, put the fruit into the lining of her clothes, and she rarely smiled.

Okay, let’s go to Yuanjie Village.

Let’s see what the two masters Wen mentioned look like.

She just happened to not have been to the South for a long, long time.
