Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

She came to Zuo Chi once again, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"How about becoming my bodyguard?"

"what?"

The moment Ahri finished speaking, Zuo Chi couldn't help but tilt his head.

Seeing Zuo Chi's reaction and his suspicious gaze, Ah Li also became somewhat flustered.

"I'll pay you every month; all you need to do is ensure my safety! I want to uncover the mystery of my origins and I need someone to protect me."

As she spoke, Ahri pulled a fist-sized cloth bag from her bosom.

Zuo Chi remained silent, simply smiling as he looked at Ah Li.

Ahri carefully opened the small cloth bag, with the opening facing outwards, and poured the contents into her palm.

At this moment, Zuo Chi also saw Ah Li's entire fortune.

Seven copper coins, a seed from a red maple tree, and a piece of bone that appears to be from a fox.

Holding out her meager possessions in her palm, Ah Li hesitated for a moment before separating two copper coins. Then she looked up at Zuo Chi in front of her.

When she saw Zuo Chi's dissatisfied look, she quickly lowered her head and moved the maple seed to the side with the two copper coins.

Looking up at Zuo Chi again, I saw that Zuo Chi was still shaking his head with a serious expression.

Ahri's delicate little face fell, and with a mournful expression, she swiped two more copper coins.

Just as Ah Li was about to look up again to see Zuo Chi's reaction, Zuo Chi's large hand directly enveloped her hand, and under her tearful gaze, he took all seven copper coins and the maple seed into his own hand.

"Alright! Consider this my pay for this month! Don't forget next month's pay, or I'm going on strike!"

After saying this, Zuo Chi put the seven copper coins and maple seeds into his pocket, while Ah Li in front of him carefully put the bone back into the cloth bag.

Seeing this, Zuo Chi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Although Zuo Chi didn't know the origin of the bone, it's clear from Ah Li's repeated hesitation in not giving it to Zuo Chi as payment that the bone was still very meaningful to her.

So he only accepted Ahri's copper coins and maple seeds as payment, and did not touch the bone.

After the employment agreement was reached, Zuo Chi smiled and looked at Ah Li in front of him.

"Boss, where do we go next?"

Ah Li put the cloth bag away and looked up at Zuo Chi with a confused expression.

“I want to find the other parts of this gem, but I don’t know where to go.”

From Xi Run's memories, Ah Li also learned that what she had told Ah Li before was all she knew.

Therefore, she didn't know where to go to find out the whereabouts of the Imero Stone.

Well, Zuo Chi has figured it out.

It turns out that my role as a bodyguard not only involves protecting the boss's safety, but also serving as his secretary, arranging his schedule.

Seven copper coins!

However, facing Ahri's expectant gaze, Zuo Chi finally sighed softly.

He cast his gaze into the distance and said softly, "In all of Ionia, if we were to say who has the broadest knowledge, perhaps it would be the Soul of Ionia, and no one else."

"The Soul of Ionia!?" Ahri was also stunned when she heard Zuo Chi's words.

Her mouth agape slightly, and she asked in surprise, "You said you were going to find Lord Karma?"

For Ionians, the Soul of Ionia is almost an absolute belief in everyone's heart.

As the host of the Soul of Ionia, each Karma becomes the guardian of Ionia, accepting the faith of all Ionians.

So when Zuo Chi mentioned the Soul of Ionia, Ahri was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.

Zuo Chi nodded: "Yes, is that not allowed?"

Ahri hesitated slightly.

"Lady Karma is incredibly mysterious. Where are we supposed to find her? And will Lady Karma even see us? Hey!"

Just as Ah Li was still muttering and hesitating, Zuo Chi picked her up and quickly flew out of the forest.

Amidst the howling wind, Ahri's large tail swayed continuously, while her arms thrashed back against Zuo Chi's back.

At this moment, Zuo Chi's voice also faintly rang in Ah Li's ears.

"So what if they're demigods? We'll see many more in the future! If we're scared this time, what will we do later!"

The streak of light that Zuo Chi transformed into flew swiftly across the sky above Weili, heading straight for the port where he had just arrived in Weili.

If we're talking about where you're most likely to find Karma, the Soul of Ionia, then Presidium, the sacred site of Ionia, is undoubtedly the only place!

Because it is the heart of Ionia, and a place that every Ionian goes to on their pilgrimage.

This is precisely why Presidium became Noxus's primary target when it invaded Ionia.

After the two left the crowded area, Zuo Chi put Ah Li down and covered her tail with his cloak.

As the two walked towards the port, Zuo Chi told Ahri what he knew about Karma.

"Karma is not a person's name, but a title. Each Karma is chosen by the Soul of Ionia itself."

"After each Karma dies, her soul is protected by the Ionian Soul and will not enter the spiritual realm. Instead, it will follow the Ionian Soul and reside in the body of the next Karma."

"This means that each Karma will have all the knowledge of the previous Karma! That's why I say that in all of Ionia, Karma is the most likely person to know information about your stone."

Walking side by side with Zuo Chi, Ah Li listened to his story while looking at him with a surprised expression.

"How come you know everything?"

Zuo Chi smiled slightly: "Because I like reading, I know a little about everything!"

"This"

Ahri asked somewhat nervously, "What if we can't find Lord Karma?"

"Can't find it? Then we need to think of another way."

Zuo Chi hesitated for a moment, then gave Ah Li a bright smile: "That will be at a different price!"

"Huh~~?"

Ahri's pretty face, which was smiling just a second ago, immediately fell apart the next second.

Looking at Ah Li's appearance, Zuo Chi couldn't help but raise his head and ruffle her long hair.

"Kidding!"

"If we can't find Karma, then we should naturally look for someone who knows where Karma is!"

As they were talking, Zuo Chi and Ah Li arrived at the port.

Zuo Chi murmured, "The Temple of Eternity is hard to find, but isn't the Order of Balance easy to find? That Yordle electric rat who has lived for over ten thousand years is no weaker than Karma!"

Chapter 39 Blade Girl!

Because of Presidium's sacred and important status, many ships traveled from Vary to Presidium.

Thanks to the tickets that Zuo Chi obtained by producing glass gems with his ascension power, he and Ah Li finally boarded the ship bound for Presidium.

Standing side by side on the deck, Zuo Chi and Ah Li gazed at the sea ahead.

A gentle breeze caressed Ahri's hair as she rested her chin on her arm and looked at Zuo Chi.

"Zuo Chi, thank you."

Ah Li looked at Zuo Chi with a mixture of emotion and a hint of worry.

Noticing Ah Li's gaze, Zuo Chi winked at her.

"Since I've received payment from the boss, I naturally have to complete the boss's tasks. Isn't that just a matter of course?"

Ahri sighed softly and turned to look at the surging waves on the sea.

Although Zuo Chi didn't say it, how could she not understand? The little reward she gave Zuo Chi wasn't even enough to buy a boat ticket.

What kind of boss needs his guards to pay for his boat ticket when he travels?

Even so, Zuo Chi still took her to Presidium as promised.

Recalling her acquaintance with Zuo Chi, Ah Li couldn't help but feel a strange mix of emotions.

At the same time, Ahri also had a faint worry.

In the past, Ahri never allowed herself to have too much contact with humans, let alone stay with the same group of humans for too long.

This is not because Ahri has a natural aversion to humans; on the contrary, Ahri is eager to learn about this wonderful world through other people.

The reason she cannot have too much contact with humans is because of her nature, which comes from her bloodline!

From the moment Ahri first absorbed the hunter's memories and soul, she became greedily addicted to the feeling.

Whenever Ahri has too much contact with humans, an instinctive urge rises in her heart, and she will uncontrollably want to taste the essence and soul of others.

In the past, in order not to harm others, Ahri always restrained her nature and kept herself as far away from others as possible.

But now, in order to find the secret of her origins, Ahri has entered into an employment relationship with Zuo Chi, but it is more than just an employment relationship.
