"If it's meant as a joke, isn't this topic too much?"

Putting down the tea, Li Ke looked at the girl whom he had mistaken for a teenager, confirming that what he heard was indeed what he heard. But it was obvious that this Bouvier matriarch

It was obvious that she didn't mean to be joking. She took a sip of tea and then said some very interesting words in a calm tone.

"This is not a joke. In fact, if you hadn't destroyed a fortress, it wouldn't have been impossible for you to marry me. After all, it wasn't just your kindness in saving us.

Our own strength is also what we need. After all, you should also know that although Demacia is a civilized city, the world does need strong force, and our Bouvier family is somewhat... somewhat lacking in strength."

The lack of strength is real, otherwise they would not be able to hunt a tooth-eater and be forced to a dead end, so much so that the patriarch of this generation almost died. And the short hair of the two sisters in this era undoubtedly proves that they want to pursue

The attitude of force and power is the same as that of men. Although it does not mean that women who have mastered power and force must have such short hair, but having such short hair is a pursuit of a tough attitude, but this is enough to explain the Bouvier family.

Dilemma.

"But in fact, we are still a little ashamed. Although my sister was perfect before, her feet have been disabled because of the last incident. This is a devastating blow to her future.

After all, she is better at dancing than fencing. So if we marry her to you in return, we are somewhat ashamed of you. But if we marry her to you and we help you solve the wanted problem, then

It will be a wonderful thing for both parties. Not only can you gain status and wealth, but you can also get a lot of privileges while getting rid of wanted people. And we can also maintain our family training and get a powerful warrior like you.

Revitalize your family."

Her words were quite devoid of affection, but neither the housekeeper behind her nor her sister Alice holding her hand expressed any dissatisfaction. Except when she mentioned that her right foot was disabled, this person and her sister had a complete feeling of dissatisfaction in their chests.

The second Miss Bouvier had a slightly unnatural look on her face. It was obvious that she still couldn't accept her disability.

After all, this is the disability she suffered due to lack of good medical treatment in order to follow Li Ke's trail. But she doesn't care about it. After all, it is a necessary price to maintain their family's family tradition and tradition. She regrets it.

Yes, it’s just that I will no longer be able to dance as gracefully as before.

As for her sister using such a heartless method to marry her off, she didn't care, and was even a little happy. After all, as the second daughter of a noble family, when she knew that she didn't have her sister's determination and talent, she was only good at dancing and figure.

After surpassing her sister in school, she has understood and accepted her destiny as a marriage tool. After all, she was born in a noble family and enjoys the excellent life, good education, and so many privileges brought by her family. Naturally, she has to pay

corresponding price.

"Such conditions are still too exaggerated."

Li Ke could feel that the other party was serious. He looked at Alice, who did not object at all, but still looked at him with a smile, and shook her head decisively.

"If that's the case, let's change the conditions. Please help me keep an eye on Karina's whereabouts, and help me collect some chains and weapons made of forbidden magic stones."

He made a request for the next level. After all, he also felt that the forbidden magic stone was quite convenient. Although it could not be said to be very effective without facing some powerful existences, it could not be said to be very effective when facing some ordinary mages and ordinary monsters.

, but it is very effective. So he has always wanted some such products, and from the aristocratic society of Demacia, Li Ke is also qualified to believe that only the nobles can obtain the most sophisticated weapons here.

But one time, beyond his expectation, the matriarch of the Bouvier family directly refused.

"But just like this, there is no way to repay your kindness in equal measure."

She emphasized the word "reciprocity", and it was obvious that she wanted to make more repayments before agreeing. This was really the first time Li Ke had seen such a family. He had seen families that had to repay their grievances.

He had also heard of instances where kindness turned into revenge, but this was really the first time he had seen a family like hers that insisted on repaying kindness and wanted reciprocity. And they treat repaying kindness like a business.

His attitude also made him completely confused about what to say.

"But it's enough for me... If you really want to repay, maybe you can go to Freljord to find a woman named Ashe and establish a trade with her. As for what to sell... as long as

It’s ok as long as Demacia doesn’t sell things that are prohibited there. As for the safety of your caravan, she will also help you solve part of it. In fact, if you are really worried, you can also hire some Freljords.

People, let them serve as interrogators for you, I think this is not too difficult for you."

After all, he, Li Ke, is not the kind of person who holds up his pants and refuses to admit his fault. This is also the reason why he rejected Sejuani before. After establishing a relationship, he must shoulder the responsibility, so since he has no need for the Bouvier family, let Bouvier

If the family establishes a normal trade route with Ashe's tribe, it will be a good thing for Ashe, and the Bouvier family, who feel that they have not completed their 'repayment' in the future, will be better able to reconcile with Ashe.

She cooperates.

But after thinking about this, Li Ke suddenly discovered something.

"Perhaps my mentality is what this woman wants? I think the other party will repay the favor, so I give better cooperation conditions?"

Such thoughts made him couldn't help but take another look at the woman with a calm face, and the woman indeed nodded calmly as he guessed, and then agreed.

"Establish a trade channel? If this is the repayment you need, I will contact our caravan. We will notify the king and prepare goods worthy of your kindness."

Her meaning is very simple, and it also confirms Li Ke's idea, that is, if these goods are robbed by the Freljordians, or if they do not pay them, then this will be regarded as repayment to Li Ke.

, but if her family can obtain enough benefits, then this kindness will naturally not be 'repaid' by them.

"Then, before Miss Karina takes any further action, please stay in a humble house for the time being. The Bouvier family will definitely make you feel satisfied."

After saying this, the head of the family bowed slightly and stood up.

"Please allow me to retire, and my sister-in-law will be with you during this time."

After she finished speaking, she nodded to her sister, and then left here with the help of several maids. Her sister Alice also sat down in her original position and looked at Li Qiao with a sweet smile.

Ke.

"I can satisfy all your needs."
