Chapter 59: Ruined Town
How do you describe the road to the capital of Demacia?
Although it is interesting at first, it will become boring if you watch too much, because the colors here are really monotonous.
Pure white buildings are everywhere, and they are all interspersed with blue flags. The closer you get to the capital of Demacia, the richer the villages are, and the colors become more monotonous. However, you can often see them from far away borders.
The old shabby dolls are no longer common here. Even peasant girls can often sew small clothes for their dolls.
But this is not something you can see in the Freljord, because even a little bit of useful cloth will be used as an important material for clothing patches. The dolls of Freljord girls are usually made of straw.
This is also the reason why a intact cloak embroidered with gold thread became the most precious gift of the Freljord people, and it can even be called a certificate of leadership.
"only……"
Li Ke stopped his horse, first stared at the wilderness in front of him for a while, and then turned to look at Morgana beside him.
"Didn't you say this is a town?"
Morgana seemed a little embarrassed. She pretended not to care and smoothed her overly long bangs, looking at the remaining ruins of the town and the statue of the 'Great Hero of Demacia' with one arm lit up.
"At least it was five hundred years ago."
After she finished speaking, the statue of the great hero of Demacia, the hand holding the hammer suddenly fell down, and then when Morgana and Li Ke looked at each other awkwardly, the whole statue fell.
The statues were all covered with cracks, and then they all shattered with a 'bang'. Only the hammer, which was carved from stone and was almost exactly the same as the hammer in Bobby's hand, still retained most of its appearance. The rest of the statues were all broken.
It turned into pieces of gravel. The vines that originally wrapped around the statue and were parasitic in the cracks of the statue also suffered heavy casualties.
It is not difficult to see that it was precisely because the roots of these vines grew in the cracks that the statue collapsed and was destroyed.
However, for Morgana, this episode only made her silent for a while, and then she reluctantly brought up her 'loving mother' aura, and then started preaching to Li Ke.
"They think that growing in the cracks can give them a better life, but they don't know that this is just a blind behavior that will eventually cause them heavy casualties and make them homeless. Some of Demacia's actions are...
As blind as these vines."
She looked as smart and mysterious as ever, but in Li Ke's eyes, her reluctance and the fact that she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of him almost overflowed, so he found it funny and never mentioned why he followed her.
This place should be a town, but in the end they could only find ruins. After all, even if Morgana is an Ascendant and a god in the conventional sense, it is impossible for her to remember every change and every change in this land.
The destination of people.
So Li Ke just nodded and expressed his agreement with Morgana's statement, then jumped off the horse and walked towards a relatively clean place, ignoring Aatrox's 'I am not a scythe!'
He complained and cut down the surrounding weeds, and then motioned for Morgana to come over. But what he didn't know was that when he was busy cleaning up the camp, Morgana, who was looking at his back, turned around again.
After confirming that he couldn't hear, he muttered softly.
"...This was still very lively back then."
However, this kind of small complaint cannot affect too many things. When Li Ke walked over, Li Ke had already gathered a piece of hay and started to make a fire. But as always, he used flint to make a fire.
The process of fire is annoying enough. After all, their last tinder had been used up in the morning. However, when passing by the previous town, these two people who should not lack common sense in life did not.
I thought about buying something like this.
"Finally it's lit."
So after the flames rose, Li Ke threw away the flint that had been mostly broken by him. After all, although it could still be used now, as long as it was knocked a dozen times, the flint would turn into pieces.
After finishing all this, he first placed a small pot on the fire, then poured the prepared water into the pot, and then asked Shi Shiran about Morgana who was sitting there.
"Approximately how far are we from the capital of Demacia?"
Morgana watched with interest as Li Ke put dried meat and other things into a small pot, and also put some bread on the fire to bake before answering Li Ke.
"It's about a week away, but don't worry, Miss Karina won't leave until we get there. After all, she is also responsible for sending the prince and the two little guys back. So.
By the time we got there, she had just arrived."
While she was talking, she was still looking at the small pot that Li Ke was playing with, and she felt a little eager to try it. However, Li Ke didn't notice the little excitement and expectation in Morgana's eyes. He just did it silently.
He was eating a very ordinary meal and thinking about his next itinerary. After all, after solving Karina's matter and going to the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest to collect some Forbidden Demon Stone under Morgana's guidance, he
It would be better not to show up in Demacia for a while, and he was really worried that Zoe would call Panson to Demacia.
After all, the current sword demon may not be able to defeat Pan Sen, and Pan Sen is obviously not the kind of person who would care about himself.
"That's good."
Li Ke nodded, then his ears moved, and he vaguely heard the sound of something moving in the grass. He immediately turned his head to look, but only saw a scarecrow with arms swaying in the wind.
Was this available when we came?
He squinted his eyes and carefully recalled what he saw when he came here, but in the end he found nothing. After all, he didn't look there when he came, so naturally he couldn't perceive it based on his memory.
He thought it was his illusion, so when he turned to look at Morgana, he saw Morgana's eyes suddenly lit up with purple light, and then she stretched out her palm towards the scarecrow he saw, and then
Give it a sharp shake.
There were sounds of wood breaking, and the cries of crows also appeared. When Li Ke looked at the scarecrow again, all he could see was a 'straw man' crushed into a ball by invisible giant hands.
, there was also a figure wearing casual clothes, running away towards the distant woods. After finishing all this, Morgana ignored the running figure, she just raised her hair and continued to look at Li, who was also not interested in chasing.
Ke cooked and said something softly.
