LOL: Let me touch your steel

Noticing Vladimir's expression, Varus finally showed a faint smile on his face.

Although the process of killing Vladimir took a little longer and consumed a little more time, Varus enjoyed the feeling of hunting prey.

Varus slowly walked to Vladimir's side and whispered like a demon: "Why don't you keep hiding? Keep running like a rat in the gutter, keep pleasing me."

"Is this all you are capable of? The Sun Priest said that you killed the Darkin and my people with your own hands. I am really disappointed by your lowly appearance."

Hearing this, Vladimir, whose consciousness was gradually fading, suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he was waking up from his last breath, and said in a hoarse voice:

"You are...you are!"

"What? You haven't discovered my true identity after escaping for so long? Servant of the Darkin, it seems that you have long forgotten your master."

Varus' tall figure was reflected in Vladimir's pupils, and the figure emitting a faint golden light gradually overlapped with the awe-inspiring figure deep in his memory.

A deep fear instantly lingered in Vladimir's heart.

Even though he had dealt the final blow to a Darkin himself, the days when he was ruled by the Darkin had long been engraved in his heart.

Never forget.

"Forgive me..."

Vladimir's begging for mercy was interrupted by Varus with a chuckle before he could finish.

"Forgive you? No..."

"Sin will know what pain is!"

Chapter 264 The Sun Priest has made another great contribution!

"The doorway has actually been restored! That's amazing!"

Thanks to Zhang Xu's efforts, the collapsed door passage was finally restored to its original appearance, and the surrounding Yodel people immediately burst into cheers.

Even Tristana and Teemo were no exception. Except for Vigus, everyone's hearts were filled with gratitude.

The doorway has returned to normal, which means that the crisis in Bandle City has been resolved once again, and the residents of Bandle City can continue to live in peace.

But a greater worry arose in Tristana's heart.

During the first Noxian invasion, Tristana learned her lesson and resolved to defend Bandle City, becoming a tough warrior and forming a guard.

But when the Noxian raiders really came again, Tristana realized that the strength of the guards alone might not be enough to protect Bandle City.

This crisis was resolved thanks to these three outsiders who suddenly broke in, but what if they were not there?

If these three people had not accidentally come to Bandle City, or had not chosen to lend a helping hand, how would they have survived this difficult time?

Could the guards they formed really resist such well-trained soldiers? Without Zhang Xu, how would they repair the damaged doorway?

Tristana sighed. The answers to these questions really gave her a headache!

Unable to come up with a good solution for the time being, Tristana simply stopped thinking about it. At her behest, the Yodels of the escort team began to intervene in the battlefield and do the final finishing work.

Varus returned to Zhang Xu's side, and not far from them, Vladimir was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

It is understandable that elderly people need to sleep more.

Zhang Xu just glanced casually and then looked away. He had no reason to lament about Vladimir's death. He was not the first hero to be killed.

What's more, Vladimir was not a good person.

"It seems that we have gained something from coming to this place. Although Balkux is unwilling to go back with us, killing this guy is worth the trip."

Varus looked at Vladimir's body and grinned with satisfaction.

He was not interested in Vladimir's story. He only needed to know that this guy was the one who betrayed the Darkin according to the Sun Priest.

"Perhaps... the harvest can be greater."

Zhang Xu took in Tristana and Teemo's expressions, and a bigger smile gradually spread across his face.

......

----

After the Yodels cleaned up the battlefield and put all the bodies of the Noxian raiders together, Tristana and Teemo took the initiative to find Zhang Xu.

Compared to his previous attitude, Teemo is now obviously much more humble, and Tristana's little face also shows sincere gratitude.

Even though it was their first meeting, Tristana still stretched out her hand to Zhang Xu without any stage fright:

“My name is Tristana, and I’m the captain of the Bandle City Guard. Thank you for what you did today.”

"It's just a little effort."

Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows and intentionally guided the topic: "It's just that the deceased Vladimir was one of the leaders of a large organization in Noxus. His status in Noxus is very honorable, so... I think Noxus should be swept in soon."

"We won't stay here for too long, so you'll have to rely on yourselves in the end."

Zhang Xu’s words really made Tristana anxious. Her little face wrinkled almost instantly, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.

"Our escort team and scout team were established not long ago."

Teemo opened his mouth, then fell silent along with Tristana.

As he said, Bandle City had not felt the crisis before, so the guard team was just a temporary organization. Even if there were Yodel people who were willing to take Tristana and Teemo as role models and join the guard team and scout team, the quality of these "new recruits" was uneven.

Facing the well-trained army of Noxus...I'm afraid they will just be crushed.

Zhang Xu pretended to glance at Tristana casually and asked casually, "Teemo told me that you seemed to have been to Runeterra outside? You should have been to Shurima, the continent in the south of Runeterra, too, right?"

"I've been there."

Tristana responded subconsciously, and her mind unconsciously recalled the scene at that time. It was a huge army, led by those guys radiating golden light, marching in an orderly manner across the endless sea of ​​sand.

It was a formidable army, and Tristana didn’t think the Noxian raiders currently plaguing them would have any chance of fighting back against it.

"That's where I come from, the Shurima Empire in Runeterra."

Zhang Xu finally revealed his purpose: "I have mastered the power of space, so I can help you build a new doorway - a doorway that leads directly to the Shurima continent."

“If the Noxian army comes to invade you again, you can use this portal to ask Shurima for help. Of course, you don’t have to worry that Shurima will do the same aggressive thing as Noxus did.”

"The newly built doorway can still be considered one-way, but it has been changed to a directional transmission to Shurima."

"I am the Sun Priest of Shurima. I don't think anyone in the Shurima Empire will take my words lying on their ears."

"this..."

Tristana and Teemo looked at each other, and a hint of hesitation flashed across their faces.

Although they both wanted to say that Bandle City had to rely on its own strength to protect itself, but...

"You don't have to rush to reject me. If it were in Runeland, this behavior should be called establishing diplomatic relations. It means that two countries or two city-states have established exchanges and help each other."

"I think it's time for the Yodel people living in Runeland to get in touch with the outside world, isn't it?"

"This...we need to think about it. Moreover, this matter is not something that can be decided by the two of us. We need to report to others and make a decision together. Maybe we need to consult Grandpa Shengshu for his opinion."

Timo thought about it seriously, and then answered carefully.

Zhang Xu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Consult the Holy Tree?

Given Balquxus's position, he would probably agree without hesitation, right?

Okay, okay, I suggest you go and consult the Holy Tree as soon as possible!

Chapter 265 Stealing a Home

The moon cast a bright glow, leaving a criss-cross pattern of reflections among the pine trees, while also illuminating the battle scars on the ground and the bodies of people who were shot dead.

With so many corpses of Noxian raiders, Tristana and Teemo didn't know what to do with them, so they just gathered them together and waited until the next morning to deal with them together.

As Zhang Xu and others helped Bandle City defeat the powerful enemy, they deserved great courtesy.

Zhang Xu, Sarah, and Varus were treated almost like heroes. Zhang Xu completely underestimated the enthusiasm of these Yodel people and was almost surrounded by them and invited to a banquet.

Being in a group of short Yodels, all Zhang Xu could see was their scalps. Even Sarah looked like a little giant among the Yodels.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xu did not see other Yodels he was familiar with at the banquet.

Except for Tristana and Teemo, all the Yodels were unfamiliar faces.

......

----

The distant and unknown cry of birds spread among the pine forests, bringing a crisp sound to the quiet city of Bandle. It was not abrupt, but instead made the city more natural.

Zhang Xu leaned against the window, quietly feeling the power in his body.

Before discovering the power of space, Zhang Xu could not sense the existence of the three little wood spirits. But now, Zhang Xu could clearly feel that there was an extremely pure energy in his body, flowing into every corner of his body like a gurgling stream.

Now, the energy in his body is enough to play mahjong.

The eternal flame in his chest should now be called the Eternal Fire. This was the first powerful power Zhang Xu had obtained, although he had not used it many times. But it can be said that without the Eternal Flame, he would never have come this far. Perhaps he could not bear the pain and died directly when he tried to master the void.

The second force was the energy of nothingness, which was also the most powerful energy in his body. But until now, he had not completely mastered the nothingness. This power seemed to be endless. Perhaps only when he faced the void watchers and completely stole their power, could he truly master the void.

The remaining two powers are of higher status and can also be considered his biggest trump card. To be precise, the power of the Dragon King is his biggest trump card. Although it is not clear why the Dragon King was willing to give him this power, the answer to this question is actually not important.

The Dragon King is such a majestic being, right? He wouldn't have any plans for a small character like him.

Finally, there was Bard’s gift. The three little wood spirits that entered his body gave him the power to control space.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu's heart moved slightly, and he tried to mobilize this pure energy in his body.

The space in the room seemed to freeze for a moment, and then a twisted colorful light bloomed and filled the entire room in an instant.

Zhang Xu drew an arc of a portal in front of him according to the appearance of the door passage.

The colorful rays of light seemed to be squeezed by some external force and gradually compressed, from initially filling the entire room to existing only in a small area in front of Zhang Xu.

A miniature portal appeared in front of Zhang Xu.

Seeing this, Zhang Xu nodded thoughtfully.

This was just a simple attempt at the power of space. Although the portal had been constructed, it was only the most basic portal. At the very least, the destination of this portal was completely unknown.

It will take constant practice and experimentation to be able to open portals at fixed locations at will...

With a subtle sound, Sarah, who had changed into a red dress, walked slowly into the room. The bright moonlight was reflected in the room as the door opened, and also on Sarah's body, adding a different kind of charm to her.
