Ashe's Arrival

The police station has been busy quelling the unrest for the past few days, and Wei has been working day and night.

She used to have a fiery temper, but now that her status is different, she has to protect Jorba's reputation, so she has been holding back, but she never expected to be stabbed in the back by troublemakers.

We went to the hospital with Jorba. Vi's wounds had already been bandaged up; in fact, the injuries she sustained from her fight with Urgot hadn't fully healed.

"Hey, Yasuo, you've come to see me!"

"You seem to always be like this, constantly getting hurt, covered in scars."

How did you know I was covered in scars? Did you spy on me?

"Alright, stop joking around. Just look at your arms and neck, how's the injury? Is it serious this time?"

"Thankfully, the doctor said it almost damaged the heart, coming from behind."

"Where is the murderer? Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, I couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman, it was too chaotic at the time. By the way, Yasuo, where's Riven?"

"She... she went to hone her martial arts skills."

"Oh? Does that mean I have a chance, haha..."

"You look fine! Take good care of yourself, I will definitely find the murderer!" Jorba was very angry.

After leaving the hospital, he specifically instructed Fogg not to try to persuade the opponents anymore, but to violently disperse those who were trying to cause trouble, and to arrest those who were too radical.

He wanted to personally interrogate the murderer who harmed Wei and let everyone know that the Kalin Family would always seek revenge!

Thanks to Fogg's all-out investigation, the murderer was quickly found, and it turned out that this person was also a member of the Kalin Family!

In the past, gang conflicts and mutual killings were not uncommon, so after moving to Piltover, the first head of the Kalin family strictly prohibited internal strife.

Now that this has happened, there's not much more to say. According to the family rules, anyone who harms Vi will have their arms cut off and be banished to Zaun, never to set foot in Piltover again.

Seeing Jorba's determination, people became much more subdued, but there were still many dissenting voices.

People eventually calmed down because Bill's caravan didn't attack when it approached; they continued trading as usual, as if the unpleasant incident had never happened.

In fact, they were already quite worried about the threat posed by the Shadow Isles, so they had no intention of making any more powerful enemies.

Seeing that Bill's caravan only purchased Nullifying Weapon and those that had been tempered with magic, Jorba was puzzled:

What are these Shadow Isles they're talking about?

"You can think of them as undead. To defeat these undead, you must use magic attacks, including magic-suppressing attacks."

"Undead? I didn't expect such things to actually exist."

"Don't be so naive, old man. The undead may exist, but there couldn't be that many. Someone must have used some kind of evil magic."

Darius never believed in gods or ghosts. I don't know if he genuinely disbelieved or if he placed more faith in human power. Based on my understanding of him, I believe the latter.

"I don't think this is naive. You're always so fearless; you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later, Darius."

"Then let me eat early, otherwise I'll get busy."

"Although it's a bit late to ask now, I still want to know what you're all doing gathered in Piltover? The Gray Lady doesn't like hosting strangers."

At this point, I quickly said, "I'm not a stranger. Although we've only met once, we had a great chat! The reason is complicated, but you can think of it as us being companions."

"Haha, you guys really are a powerful group."

I've been in Piltover for a few days now. Now that I've finished dealing with the Kalin Family matters, it would be impolite of me to pay my respects to Camille.

To be honest, the thought of her cold, impersonal house made me really reluctant to go, but Darius was quite enthusiastic.

Last time we visited Camille's residence, we encountered many traps, but this time the doors were wide open, so it seems she already knows we're here.

There was still a sense of unease here. Although you could sense that there were quite a few people, they were all hiding in the shadows and did not show themselves.

Camille was sitting alone in the courtyard, tea was already prepared. I had assumed Jarvan and Sivir had arrived, but Camille said she hadn't seen them.

"Have you already entrusted someone to keep the Primal Crystal safe?" Camille asked first, addressing the question that concerned her most.

"It's been handed over to a reliable person, and I'm sure it won't be stolen." Thinking back to the scene where Tam swallowed the crystal, I doubt anyone could pull it out of his stomach.

Who is this?

"Darius, I've long heard of the Gray Lady, but I didn't expect her to be so young!"

"Young? Hah, it's just a facade."

"This visit is exactly what I mentioned to you before. I want to gather all the dream owners to discuss our ideas."

"Just the two of you?"

"There are still a few people who haven't arrived yet. They're probably still enjoying the hustle and bustle of Piltover, but there's no rush. There are seven of us in total."

Just then, a person appeared out of nowhere and knelt before Camille: "Your Majesty, there are two people outside requesting an audience, claiming to be from Freljord."

"Freljord? Are they one of yours?" Camille asked me.

"I think so, I'll go check."

I arrived at the door and found Stivan with Ashe and Tryndamere. Stivan didn't say anything and left as soon as he saw me come out.

It seems that he wouldn't have delivered it personally if the Ice Queen hadn't arrived.

"Long time no see, brother!" Tryndamere was overjoyed to see me and gave me a breathtaking hug.

How did you get here so quickly?

"We came here via General Rappor's teleportation portal, what an amazing thing!"

"Please come inside quickly. The Gray Lady and Darius are here, Jarvan and the others will be here soon."

After entering the house, I introduced everyone. Tryndamere's enthusiasm and Camille's coldness were in stark contrast, making the first meeting a little awkward.

Camille, however, was quite interested in Ashe. She sensed Ashe's power, and at the same time, I noticed that she was different from before.

Ashe used to give me a cold and noble feeling, but her strength was average. Now she seems much stronger, especially the water droplet mark on her forehead, which I find very noticeable.

Sejuani had a similar mark when she activated her Blood of Ice. Could Ashe have activated it as well?

"Have you activated your Blood of Ice?"

"Oh? You know about the Blood of Ice too?"

"You forgot, Lili was taken there by Yasuo in the first place," Tryndamere quickly added.

"Oh, I remember now!" Ashe looked completely bewildered.

How come I didn't notice her naturally naive side before? Could it be because her bloodline was activated?
