Ixtal

Antiquit picked up where Corki left off and asked about the Life Rune, but I didn't know how to answer, because not only did I not have Life Rune, but I also needed his help again. ✊🍟 ✌♧

But then I realized he hadn't lent me the Life Rune; he'd lent it to Ryze. I should ask him for it back. Before I could even answer, Kled yelled:

"Alright, old man, let's not talk about that. I've come to ask for your help. The situation outside is extremely bad; the whole world might fall."

"Shut up, Kled. I know what I'm doing. I'm asking Yasuo now," Antiquit rebuked Kled.

"It's like this, Old Chieftain. Your Life Rune is with Ryze; he only lent it to me for a short time. Moreover, Ryze is now allied with the Vastaya. I hope you can lend me your help."

"Oh, is that so? Did you know that Ryze and I are friends?"

"I can think of it."

"Then why did you come to me for help? Do you want us to become enemies?"

"It's not a matter of becoming enemies. Judging from the current situation, I think you will help."

Why are you so sure?

"Because Kled, Kennen, Mangi, Poppy, Rumble, and Tristana are all helping, and their will is also your will."

"Heh heh... It seems Ryze has told you quite a bit. That's right, their will comes from me; we are one. Helping them is also from my heart, but I won't let all the Yordle take risks."

"Then please make the decision."

"That should be decided by my children themselves. You don't need to go to Bandle City; they have no interest in the outside world. You can find the rest of the area yourself. I won't stop anyone who wants to help."

"Thank you!"

Antiquit's meaning was clear: he wouldn't interfere with my actions, but he wouldn't help either; I'd have to rely on myself to find as many helpers as I could.

Yordle are known for their eccentricities; those who enjoy the outside world are generally outside themselves, and those who have always lived in the Yordle world are unlikely to want to go out and help.

Teemo just said he'd be coming with us, Fizz should be going to help Garr too.

Heimerdinger and Corki are still in the room. Since they are both heroes in the League, they must be well-known. I can try to recruit these two first!

Heimerdinger readily agreed to my request, saying he had been to the outside world before and was very interested in Piltover's Hextech, and was willing to go there to take a look.

Corki initially had no intention of helping, but after hearing Heimerdinger say that the Hextech aircraft was far more advanced than his own plane, he immediately became interested.

Seeing that he was interested, I took out my Hextech Motorcycle, which transformed into a flying vehicle, making Corki's eyes light up.

"Great! This is exactly what I want! Take me there, I want to go to the outside world!"

Now only Antiquit was left in the room. I wanted to try to persuade him, but before I could even open my mouth, he left, leaving behind a single sentence:

"Don't bother, Yasuo. I'm not going with you. Remember to go back early; you can't afford to waste time here."

Even without him saying anything, I'd been keeping track of the time. Now, more than half an hour had passed, and it had been over a day in the outside world. I decided to take a quick ride on my motorcycle to see if I recognized anyone.

I had only walked a short distance when a missile suddenly came hurtling towards me. I quickly used my Wind Force to block it, and then I saw the culprit who attacked me: Jiggs!

Of course I won't let this guy who came to my doorstep get away!

Seeing me rush towards him, Jiggs quickly pulled out two bombs and pointed them at me. "What do you want!"

"You're Jiggs, right?"

"Huh? You know me?"

"Of course, not only do I know you, but I also know you're very interested in bombs."

Do you like bombs too?

"I don't like it, but I know many places that research bombs, and there are a lot of crazy scientists there."

"Crazy, I love that word, hahaha! Where is that place you're talking about? Take me there now!"

"There's a place called Zaun in the outside world, would you like to go and take a look?"

"The outside world?" Jiggs hesitated.

"Yes, it's the outside world. It's an uncontrolled area; you can bomb it however you want, as long as your skills are good enough!"

"My demolition skills are unmatched!"

"That's just what you said; nobody can verify it. You'd better go out and see the world."

"Damn it, I'll prove you wrong!"

"Okay, then go wait for me at Heimerdinger's house. They're all going outside, we can go together, we've already gotten Antiquit's permission."

"I'll go ask around, but I'd better not find out you're lying to me!"

A few words were enough to convince Jiggs. Although it was unknown whether he could be of any help, he was sure he could easily get along with the scientists in a place like Zaun!

I wandered around for a while longer and encountered several Yordle with different appearances, but they all ignored my requests. It had been almost an hour, so I quickly flew back.

When I got back to Heimerdinger's house, besides the people I had arranged to meet, I also spotted a familiar face: Zam.

When I first came to the Yordle world, he captured me. Later, he had a falling out with Teemo over meeting Tristana, but now the two of them have made up and are discussing how to protect her!

Although they couldn't persuade Antiquit to come personally, they did manage to get several helpers, especially the Great Inventor like Heimerdinger, who will surely be a huge asset in conjunction with Piltover's cutting-edge technology.

Without further ado, the few of us quickly set off to return to the outside world.

The location from which Yordle travels to the outside world is random, meaning we don't know where we'll emerge from.

In short, the landing site was a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, which for a moment made me feel that this was still the Yordle world, so I asked Kled:

"Are we out? Why is this place still the same as before?"

"They've definitely come out; there's no trace of the Yordle world here."

"Alright, let's look around and see if we can ask a local."

There were eight of us, and everyone except me was tiny. Is this the story of the Seven Dwarfs? I think it's very interesting.

We hadn't walked far when a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded us. They were short, with dark skin, and dressed in primitive clothing, but the gleaming weapons in their hands made them seem less like primitive people.

I waved and asked, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand, we are not intruders. May I ask where this place is?"

"This Ixtal. Anyone who comes here uninvited is an intruder!"

"We really didn't mean to disturb you, there was just a problem with the teleportation. Is it far from Ionia?"

Ionia? Never heard of it!
