"This matter is not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself."

Ezreal doesn't think there is anything wrong with these people's decisions. Even in world lines with normal rune energy concentrations and a large number of demigods, it is not easy to resurrect the dead, and they may not be able to encounter them in hundreds of years.

once.

In this world line, not only is the concentration of rune energy very low, but there are basically no extraordinary people. Only a few people who may be at the source of the rune energy tide will be extraordinary people.

Moreover, in a world line that does not allow the existence of extraordinary beings, there will be no human incarnation of the great will, which means that this world line will not have a powerful old god guarding the world like other world lines.

Maybe before Ryze changed the rules, there were still human incarnations of the great will in Runeterra, but after Ryze changed the rules, I'm afraid those human incarnations of the great will have disappeared.

What is the specific situation? Ezreal plans to go to the ruins left by the Rakkor people to search for traces of the existence of the old gods when he plans to climb Mount Targon.

However, Balliard guessed that the old gods probably went to the star realm, and the protoss were the same, staying in the star realm and never returning to Runeterra.

You can't let those great-willed human beings kill their own human incarnations with their own hands or watch their human incarnations weaken step by step and then die?

Even if the great-willed human nature has this idea, those human incarnations may not necessarily agree.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but how could you forget such a thing? If you can't forget it... you won't forgive yourself."

Scavengers still have a strong sense of companionship. They are not the kind of beggars who compete for food. Some beggars may have gangs, but the vast majority of beggars are just ordinary beggars. They compete with other beggars for food everywhere in the city.

a “resource”.

For example, where is it easier to beg for food? For example, where is it easier to get sick and catch a cold while sleeping on the street? There is a competitive relationship between these beggars, and to a large extent it is still a life-and-death competition.

At this time, the weak will be bullied.

Among the group of scavengers, they have a mutually dependent relationship.

It is difficult for a person, or a few people, to survive in the desert. Scavengers need someone to carry thick clothes to cover themselves at night, someone to carry food, and a water bag, just one person

If so, various resources can only carry a relatively small amount.

When there are more people, they can not only divide labor, but also cooperate. Carrying food or clothing is more convenient than using a small cart to carry these things. It can also load more resources. For scavengers,

After searching for resources in a place, how many resources can be taken away is a matter of life and death.

It's not okay to stay where there are resources, because there are gangs of bandits wandering around, with the goal of taking away all the resources from scavengers like them.

If they are lucky, they can find many valuables in the ruins of some ancient cities and bring them to Xuyin City for trading, thereby getting a large amount of property and then purchasing a large amount of supplies.

Although in these troubled times, most cities will attract scavengers into the city, but it is not without conditions. Even if these sallow-looking scavengers are drawn into the city, they cannot directly become a combat force. If

If these scavengers are trained, they may die suddenly due to the intensity of the training.

Therefore, most waste pickers are only qualified to enter the city and will not be allowed to settle in the city. The city is so big. Even if some houses are built outside the city wall for civilians to live, they cannot accommodate too many people who exceed the city's capacity.

people.

If there are spare houses in these cities, they may allow scavengers to enter to make up for the urban population. Even if these scavengers will not be effective on the battlefield in the short term, but time will

Once the body recovers, these scavengers will still be useful.

Moreover, the war is tight, and these scavengers can be used as cannon fodder with a little training. No matter how many people die, the princes will not feel bad.

"In this case, I don't have any good suggestions. I'll give you these things. Go to the City of the Sun quickly. One day, the new Congress will unify the continent again. At that time, you will be the people of the Imperial Capital."

Ezreal once again took out some dried meat and mineral water. In this desert area, dried meat is the most capable of providing sufficient energy with a long shelf life. As for water, Salva produced

Mineral water can provide most of the minerals needed by the human body.

"...Thank you, sir."

The scavengers did not refuse Ezreal's kindness. One by one, they took the things Ezreal gave and loaded them on their cars.

Nowadays, most of the scavengers have push carts or pull carts. During the war, the conditions became more and more difficult. If the scavengers wanted to survive, they not only had to face the bandits, but also some villains in the city. Those guys

He will find ways to embarrass the scavengers and take out as many things as possible from the scavengers' hands.

In the past, there were gangs of scavengers of two or three people bound by blood ties, but nowadays it is almost impossible to see such scavengers.

"I'm going to carry out a mission. Take one step first. You should be careful."

Ezreal said goodbye to the scavengers, and he became more and more certain that the tentacle-shaped mark meant a relic.

But he still has one doubt, and that is this map.

If that ruins are thousands of years old, and people on this land know very little about marine life like octopuses, how did the people who originally surveyed and drew this map leave such marks?

With Ezreal's eyesight, he could tell that this map was at most four to five hundred years old, and four to five hundred years ago seemed not to be the time for the tide of runic energy to arrive. There would be no such thing on the Shurima continent.

There are many extraordinary beings who can move freely.

As for the octopus, assuming that the tentacle-shaped mark is indeed related to the octopus, there is no such creature along the coast of Shurima continent. The current navigation technology does not support ocean navigation. There is no doubt that the one who can have contact with the octopus is

Extraordinary ones...

It's contradictory.

"Maybe I need some help?"

The more he thought about it, the less certain Ezreal was about his speculation. How did a group of extraordinary beings who could not appear here go to the ocean to see octopuses and then leave such marks on the map?

Or is there a creature on Shurima that looks like an octopus but doesn't need to live in water?

"The nearest city is undoubtedly Zerima, but Zerima is an agricultural city. There should not be many people who can help me, and many talented people have gone to the City of the Sun and want to work in the City of the Sun.

Zerima needs adventure companions, which is a bit difficult."

Ezreal's adventures sometimes require companions. Even if his own ability is enough to cope with some situations, he still needs the help of others. The excavation and transportation of cultural relics depends on him alone, and it is easy to cause damage to the cultural relics.

If the space inside the ruins is too large, it will take a long time for Ezreal to explore the ruins alone, and there may be some omissions. After all, this is a world line that no other Ezreal has ever encountered.

There are so many differences here.

"Shuiyin City should be a good place to go, right? It is a city with developed commerce. In ancient times, it seems that mercenary industries can also be counted as commerce? After all, there is an employment relationship.

There should be mercenaries or adventurers in Marrow City who take on expedition missions?"

It is still a little difficult for Ezreal to fully understand this world line city based only on the information provided by Balliard.

It was difficult, but he believed that he could definitely achieve his goal in Xuyin City.

There is a commercial city there. The market in Marrow Seal City claims to be able to find everything under the sun. If Ezreal can pay, there will be a lot of people applying for jobs in Marrow Seal City, hoping to get this job.

For short-term jobs, even some noble families who started in business would take the initiative to contact Ezreal to express that the two parties could cooperate.

In that city, as long as you have enough money, there is basically nothing you can't do.

Thinking of this, Ezreal changed his direction. He could indeed go to this ruins alone, but after going alone, it was hard to say whether he would be able to obtain satisfactory results.

This world line may have some unique customs, and some of the mechanisms in the ruins may be related to these customs. With his superficial understanding of this world line, he wants to create something ordinary in some ordinary places.

Although it is not completely impossible to find the hidden mechanism within the layout, it is a bit difficult.

If the ruins themselves were large, it might take several months for Ezreal to explore everything about the ruins.

After spending a few days, Ezreal arrived at Marrow Seal City as he wished, but at the gate of the city, he was stopped by a strange person.

"Master, please wait a moment."

Gus Shelley, the confidant and butler of Bacon Clark, the former Marquis and Lord of Marrow City, his talent allows him to see everything within a certain range.

Normally, he uses this ability to monitor the situation outside Marrow Seal City. Abnormal speed of movement and abnormal size of people will attract his attention.

Ezreal is the former, a person with extraordinary movement speed. According to Gus's observation, Ezreal is just running without the help of a special mount, but he can reach Marrow Seal City so quickly.

"Is there anything?"

Ezreal looked at Gus Shelley strangely. He didn't know what was going on. He felt that something was wrong with this man. He looked like a mortal, but he always felt like he was not a mortal. This world line clearly did not exist.

There are several extraordinary beings, but there can't be one in Marrow Seal City, right? Balliard has been to Marrow Seal City before, and he didn't even notice that there were extraordinary beings here.

He heightened his vigilance and was wary of Gus' behavior.

"It's not a big deal. Let me introduce myself. I am the steward of Marquis Bacon Clark. Currently, the Clark family has surrendered to the empire and has handed over all affairs to His Majesty. May I ask, did you bring His Majesty's decree when you came here?

?”

Gus guessed that Ezreal was a member of Emperor Sima Yi. The reason was very simple. In the twenty years since he awakened his talent, he had never observed anyone with such an exaggerated speed of action.

In years of observation, this is the second person with such speed.

The last person with such speed was Emperor Sima Yi. This person also came here after Emperor Sima Yi appeared. Gus would not believe it if Ezreal and Emperor Sima Yi had nothing to do with each other.

Judging from Ezreal's route at that time, Guts felt that Ezreal should have come from Zerima.

Went to Zerima first, and then came to Xuyin City. It is very likely that this person came to convey the order of Emperor Sima Yi. Otherwise, if that person's destination was Xuyin City, it would be more difficult to come from other roads.

convenient.

"Ah? Didn't you say that the Marquis has gone to the City of the Sun? As a butler, why are you still here?"

Ezreal was a little confused. He didn't know how Gus discovered his identity. Even if Gus misspoke about his purpose, they at least guessed that he was related to Valliard. Ezreal

I didn't feel like I was exposed in any way.
