Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 170 Sophistry
"What happened to the big cow?"

Jinx woke up in a daze, her face still a little hot, but many of the questions she wanted to ask Li Ke were gone.

She was listening to Li Ke and Janna's voices, then joined in, speaking with her head tilted.

"Big cow?"

"Oh, you are talking about Sarah. Yes, she is indeed in big trouble now." Li Ke nodded.

Jinx also discovered that Karma, Irelia and the others had also returned to the tree house. Irelia and Akali stood behind Karma, accompanying Karma in chatting with Li Ke and Janna.

"I don't know you." Janna said to Karma who greeted her.

Janna stared at Karma with her green eyes, watching him thinking.

Then, Janna found that she really didn't know this guy, but when she was summoned to Ionia by Li Ke before, she had sensed this guy. At that time, he noticed her sight and chased after her.

This made Janna alert. After all, she was no match for Karma now.

"It's normal that you don't know me. After all, I have never dealt with you." Karma said softly. She looked at Janna and continued, "But I know you very well. Many villagers along the coast of Ionia once believed in you."

This may also be the reason why Karma sensed Janna's surveillance before but did not go to find Janna.

Because Janna is a deity believed by most humans in Runeterra who make their livings on the sea, she has not only helped the people of Zaun, but also will help any fishermen who need help.

Therefore, Karma actually respects Janna.

"Have you heard my story?" The cute little blue bird tilted its head and looked at Kalma and said.

"Of course, and your eyes are full of stories, God of Zaun."

Li Ke, who was standing by, listened to the conversation with a strange look in his eyes: "."

"What happened to Big Cow?" Jinx came over and asked Li Ke.

"She is now being hated by everyone on Bi Island. Hilco said he needs Zaun's help, but I refused." Li Ke said to Jinx.

"Refuse? Why?" Jinx was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Li Ke and said.

Jinx doesn't hate Sarah, she just hates Sarah's figure.

Of course Jinx attaches great importance to the first friend she met after leaving Zaun.

When they were in Bilgewater, Sarah often took care of her. Although Jinx hated physical contact with her because she would feel depressed every time she had physical contact with her, she was willing to chat with Sarah and listen to her tell her interesting stories about Bilgewater.

What about the four horror legends, the rules that the islanders must follow when going out to sea, the giant sea monsters in the sea and the like.

In short, if Sarah died, Jinx would be sad.

"Because of the current situation, it is not appropriate for Zaun to intervene, and the same goes for Piltover. After all, this is Bilgewater's own internal business. Zaun's support for Sarah's supplies and weapons has caused concerns among some small countries in Valoran."

"But Jinx, are you worried about her now?" Li Ke looked at Jinx and said with a smile.

"I promised her to come to my wedding. If she dies, wouldn't that mean I broke my promise?" Jinx touched her chin with a frown and muttered, "Hey, did she break her promise, or did I?"

"Don't worry, I just said that it's not convenient to help Sarah in Zaun. It doesn't mean we can't help Sarah. Neither of us are from Zaun now." Li Ke said with a smile, patting Jinx's shoulder.

How smart is Xiao Jin? Hearing Li Ke say this, she immediately glanced at Irelia and Akali, then looked at Li Ke and asked tentatively; "So we are Ionians now?"

"We will be coming from Ionia, so of course we will be Ionians." Li Ke nodded.

Kalma on the side: “?”

"Is it really okay for you to talk about this kind of thing in front of me?"

Irelia on the side also wanted to say no. Ionia already had a lot of troubles that had not been solved, and Li Ke's behavior would add trouble to Ionia.

But seeing Karma speak, she of course shut up.

But Akali was different. She seemed a little excited and was looking at Li Ke. It was unknown what she was thinking.

"It seems so. Forget it. Anyway, we'll see when we get to Bilgewater. It doesn't matter if someone recognizes me. Let Renata do the public relations. I'm not going to Bilgewater to represent Zaun. I'm Sarah's friend. Is there anything wrong with helping my friend?" Li Ke said after thinking about it.

"So when are we going to help Sarah?"

"After the matter with Orianna is over, in the meantime, Jinx, why don't you try to build a boat, or even a small airship?"

"Just me? There will definitely not be enough time." Jinx said immediately. It was not difficult for her to make a small airship. There were many hexgems in Jinx's backpack that could be used as energy. But the problem was that if she did it alone, it would take too much time. But wasn't Singed going to be here soon?

How many days at most can she and Li Ke stay in Ionia?

Li Ke glanced at Irelia, then looked at Jinx, "Why don't you ask Irelia to help you? Didn't she bring a lot of people here?"

Jinx tilted her head to look at Irelia and blinked.

Irelia took a deep breath. She really didn't want to bring trouble to Ionia, but anyone who was found by the Lotus Spirit and Karma shouldn't be a bad person, right?

As for whether Li Kesha had ever killed anyone, Irelia certainly wouldn't think about such a stupid question.

Is there anyone among those present who has not killed anyone?
Therefore, Irelia is very clear about one thing, that is, in chaotic times, whether there is blood on hands is not an assessment of a person's goodness or badness, good or evil.

"I won't let the rebels follow you to Bilgewater, but if it's just some hard labor, we can help." Irelia said after thinking about it.

Karma listened nearby but did not say anything to stop Irelia.

Ionia needs a change, and now Karma believes that this change lies with Li Ke because the Lotus Spirit chose him.

"Then please find some people and have them listen to Jinx's command." Li Ke said to Irelia.

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, Janna suddenly flew onto his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Li Ke asked Janna.

“They’re already here,” Janna said.

Li Ke nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there now."

Looking at Karma, Li Ke pursed his cheeks and said, "Karma, can you help me with a little favor?"

"You want me to take you there, right?" Karma said loudly, "No problem, I can."

"Thank you."

Karma asked Janna for directions, then she stretched out her hand and gently waved it, and a fan appeared in her hand. She gently waved it towards everyone, and the next moment, everyone except Jinx, including Li Ke, felt a darkness in front of their eyes, and their bodies floated up lightly. They lost their sense of direction and their five senses were blocked.

When Li Ke opened his eyes, he found himself at the coastline.

Karma looked at the beach destroyed by the war and pursed her lips. "We're here. The person you're looking for is right there." Karma said to Li Ke, putting away her complicated feelings.

Li Ke looked and saw a group of people walking out of the forest. Leading the way was Willa, an acquaintance of Li Ke, and behind him was Singed, who was protected by Zaun law enforcers.

Seeing Singed, Li Ke waved and called out.

"Singed, this way!"

The people in the distance heard the voice and saw Li Ke. Singed's eyes lit up, and then he walked towards Li Ke accompanied by the law enforcement officer.

Li Keye led a group of people towards Singed.

Akali was a little confused. Why did she follow here?
"Like, Orianna is here." The first words Singed said were about Orianna.

Two law enforcement officers holding a huge glass cabinet walked forward and carefully placed the cabinet on the ground.

Kalma on the side just took a look and frowned instantly.

"Wait, Li Ke, what are you going to do?"

"Save people." Li Ke replied.

The fan blocked Li Ke's way. Karma looked at Aureliana and said, "Save people? But this body is just an empty shell. Her soul is gone. You said you want to save people?"

The first time Karma saw Orianna, she realized that Orianna's soul was gone. Since Li Ke could enter the spiritual realm at will, then isn't it obvious what this soulless body was brought to Ionia for? !
Li Ke wanted to bring back the soul in this body from the spiritual realm. As for why the soul of a Zaun person would enter the Soul Lotus instead of entering the underworld of the god of death, it was naturally because Li Ke knew the spirit of the lotus.

With that person's help, Li Ke was able to do this.

"Her soul is in the Lotus Land, right?" Karma stretched out his hand to stop Li Ke and said seriously:

"Li Ke, the dead cannot be resurrected. You can't do this. If the dead can be resurrected, it will bring great trouble to Runeland."

"You should be aware of the existence of the God of Death. If you do this, they will hate you for it," Karma warned.

Singed, who was standing by, heard this and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

After listening to Karma's words, Li Ke understood what Karma meant.

Just as Qian Jue told Li Ke, even if the gods in the Soul Lotus possess such abilities, they cannot use them at will (except Ahri), because this violates the rules of the spiritual realm.

The material plane also has its own rules.

If the dead could be resurrected at will, then who would still believe in the god of death?
The gods of death in Runeterra exist in the spiritual realm and are spirits created by a supreme being. They appear in the material realm and include the following: sheep, wolves, frogs, spiders, vultures and other gods of death.

Among them, the existence of the vulture is the most special. It is not the god of death that "extradites" the souls of human beings, but a god of death who extradites the gods of death.

Yes, the gods of death in the material realm will also face death, and there is only one way for them to die, and that is to be completely forgotten and then completely dissipate.

In the story that Li Ke knew, the God of Death living in Shurima faced such a situation. It managed the "Ascendants", but because of the invasion of the Void, the Ascendants fell into Darkin, and its believers greatly decreased. In the end, there were only one or two Ascendants who still worshipped it. It was always facing the risk of extinction, so it feared the existence of vultures.

But Kindred is not afraid of vultures, because Kindred is the most famous god of death in Runeterra, and vultures have no way to deal with Kindred.

Therefore, if humans can be resurrected after death, they will no longer believe in the god of death and pray to the god of death to take them out of suffering. In this case, the number of believers in the god of death will decrease and they will face the threat of extinction.

It's not surprising that Li Ke would be hated by the god of death for this. Isn't he just stealing customers?

But Li Ke also has reasons for what he said to Karma.

First of all, this was agreed by Kindred in the Lotus Land. Secondly, Ahri also told Li Ke not to worry, because Orianna's situation was very special. She was not taken away by the god of death, but remained in the body.

And now, the one who took away Orianna's soul was Ahri, she was one of their own.

From left hand to right hand, no middleman~
Li Ke didn't have to worry about the God of Death in the material world finding out about this.

Therefore, he looked at Karma and said seriously: "I understand what you mean, Karma. But this child's situation is different. She is not dead. She just fell into a deep sleep due to an accident. I asked Ahri to repair her soul, and she agreed and brought her soul into the Lotus Land."

"This is not a resurrection, but a healing?" Li Ke continued, "Or do you think this is not okay?"

After hearing this, Karma narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Ke. Li Ke looked at her. After a while, Karma's beautiful green eyelashes trembled and she lowered her eyes. She took a step back and put down her hand.

She was persuaded by Li Ke because she had no way of knowing what the girl's situation was.

Seeing that Karma had backed down, Li Ke squatted down and reached for the cabinet.

The black eyes turned pink, and Li Keyu used his seduction ability to call out to Ahri.

He opened the cabinet, touched Orianna's hand, and said:
"Besides, there are people who died, entered the spiritual realm, and then resurrected and escaped. Didn't they also not affect the situation in Ionia?"

"How do you know this?" Karma looked at Li Ke in surprise.

"Azakana, a kind of demon. There seems to be quite a few of these in Ionia, right?" Li Ke said with a smile.

Spirit Blossom tells the story of Yasuo. In this story, doesn't Yone escape after being resurrected in the spiritual realm?
Therefore, Li Ke felt that Kalma's worries were meaningless.

"Buzz!"

A ray of light appeared in the palm of Orianna's hand, and Li Ke's eyes turned white. The evening sky was a fiery red, but a touch of white light dispelled the red. The white light gathered in the clouds and gradually formed a fox.

It's Ali who is here.

Singed looked up and watched the scene excitedly. Vaguely, he seemed to hear some sound.

That was Orianna's voice.

She was calling herself.

Thinking of this, Singed looked around nervously, but saw nothing.

"Orianna, you're there, right?"

"Where are you? Tell daddy, he's here to see you!"

Singed couldn't help but call out.

Until, a small hand suddenly held his palm and grabbed three of his fingers.

Singed's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look at the girl who sat up from the closet.

Her skin was so white that it could glow, her beautiful golden hair was wet with nutrient solution, she was wearing a wet white princess dress, and she was blinking her big eyes at her.

"dad."

She said to Singed.
