Returning the Weapon

Sivir took a ring-shaped weapon from the cabinet next to her; it was none other than Rebeca's Oretal Ring Blade.

"You should be familiar with this weapon, right?"

"Isn't this Rebeca's ring blade? Why didn't it disappear with her death?"

For a fleeting moment, I even thought Rebeca was still alive!

Sivir quickly shattered my illusions. "This is not an Ascended Weapon, but a treasure passed down through the Ixtal clan. Now it should be returned to its rightful owner."

Hearing Sivir say that reminded me that Rebeca, before she died, asked me to give the Ringblade to a girl named Qiyana.

I was in a hurry to save her and didn't agree. Later, Shetaka couldn't save her either, and in my sadness, I forgot about it.

"Did Shetaka send the ring blades over?"

"Yes, she said Rebeca was someone you invited, so you should be the one to do it, otherwise... otherwise she'll teach you a lesson."

"Don't be afraid, with you here, Shetaka won't do anything to me, haha... In that case, I'll go to Shurima and see how that continent is doing. You stay here and continue defending for a few more days!"

"Okay, you just said you almost lost your life going to the Howling Abyss? Be careful this time!"

"Okay, I understand. I won't explore the Void Rift this time. I'll come back after completing the mission. But how do I get to Ixtal? It's a barrier there!"

"Shetaka said all you need to do is take the Ringblade and find the nearby area; someone will meet you there."

"That's so mysterious, okay, I'll go check it out then, hopefully I can still remember the way."

My life has returned to its old routine of constant travel, but I like it this way.

Because when you're busy, your brain thinks less, and right now I don't want to think about too many things.

When we arrived at the southern part of the defense line, I found that the seawater here had changed color, and there were monster corpses everywhere, making it much more horrific than our side.

The eight Ancient Dragons are all scattered here, along with countless ordinary dragons guarding the area, creating a magnificent sight from afar.

As the connecting point between the Valoran Continent and Shurima Continent, Zaun is heavily defended.

Besides the large number of soldiers stationed on the newly built city walls, the mad scientists also remained, creating all sorts of strange devices that transformed this dangerous city into a fortress.

Vi is now the commander of the Zaun stronghold. She no longer needs to wear a police uniform; she looks imposing in her Hextech Armor.

"What brings you here, Yasuo? Did you come all this way just to see me?"

"I had some business to attend to in Shurima, so I stopped by to drop by."

"Shurima? There are no living beings there anymore, are you? Aren't you just going to your death?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan. How's your defense here?"

"It was tough at first, but it's much easier now. Did you see these mechanical devices? I used to be in charge of sealing off these dangerous things; I never thought they'd come in handy now, haha..."

"Zaun has a lot of talented people, it's just that they haven't been used in the right places before, haha."

"Yeah, there's a pair of Yordle's pretty amazing too. One flies a plane and the other drops bombs. They don't talk to us much, but they're ruthless when it comes to blowing up monsters!"

"The pilot is called Corki, and the bomber is called Jiggs. They might have some weird tempers; hopefully, they haven't caused trouble for their own people."

"It's alright. They're basically patrolling the skies every day, occasionally returning to Zaun to go crazy with those lunatics for a while, but they haven't done anything too outrageous."

Who's in charge of Piltover now? Jorba?

"Piltover now under the control of the Phiros Family. Since the Gray Lady left, Old Master Stivan has suddenly become very decisive, using the most advanced Hextech Weapons for defense and occasionally launching offensive attacks."

"Haha, that's pretty impressive. I'll go find him."

"What's up?"

"I need some equipment, preferably a handy weapon, and a map to locate myself in; I need to find a place."

"Speaking of weapons, where's your sword?"

"It was broken during a sparring match with Sivir, and they're having it reforged!"

"Sivir? The woman who had your child?"

"You found out too?"

"It's no secret, word of your relationship has been around for a while now, but it's really heartbreaking, my girlish dreams have been shattered just like that..."

Wei clutched her chest with a serious expression, her face bearing a comical mix of a smile and tears.

"Stop fooling around, focus on defense, I'm leaving now."

"Be careful, my prince!"

After saying goodbye to Vi, I arrived in Piltover. Not everyone had left yet; many tech workers had stayed behind, since there was readily available equipment that was difficult to transport or rebuild.

When I arrived at Piltover, I found that besides Stivan, there were quite a few other people, including Jace, Heimerdinger, and others, who were discussing their new invention.

This is beyond my understanding, and I have no interest in listening to it. I'll just state my purpose directly.

When Jace heard that I wanted a suitable weapon, he immediately pulled a pistol from the cabinet, its barrel as sharp as a blade.

"Here, take this Hextech Gun. It can be used as a pistol or a regular sword; it's very convenient for solo missions!"

"That's great! I've been wanting a similar weapon. Does it have any stealth capabilities?"

"Yes, do you see this button? When you face an insurmountable crisis, press it, and the blade will spew out intensely burning powder. However, it can only be used once, so be careful!"

"Once is enough!"

I was just looking for a handy weapon, but it turned out to be the famous Hextech Gun. That's really great!

The map Stivan gave me was also very useful; I could pinpoint a general location on it and then head straight there.

The most convenient feature is that the map can be embedded in Hextech Motorcycle, replacing the previous map.

However, Stivan was still puzzled by my actions. "Yasuo, can you tell us why you can move around in the Void?"

"It's a long story, but it's related to my skin. My skin is now covered with a special substance that can evade the sense of smell of Void Creatures."

Where can this substance be obtained?

"Someone gave it to me; I don't know how I figured it out."

"In that case, could you leave a little bit of skin behind?"

"You are... Okay, I understand!"

I shave a piece of skin off my arm and hand it to Stivan. I know he wants to study the composition of the Living Outerwear. If we can successfully manufacture this kind of clothing, it will make future operations much easier!

Seeing that he carefully kept it safe, I set off with peace of mind.
