Akubei Town

I don't want to kill Warwick. Since both Huo Su and I were able to regain our sanity, he probably can too. ☠🐲 💝🐻

When the Freljord alliance war broke out, I went to Piltover to ask him for help, and I also know some of his past.

Although the timeline is different now, many relationships haven't changed. With that in mind, I asked Huo Su to go and help.

"Huo Su, can you help me subdue Warwick? Remember, don't kill him."

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Huo Su didn't ask me why, and went straight to help in the battle.

Nasus has already seen what's going on here. After learning my purpose, he stopped using lethal attacks and switched more of his offensive magic to control magic.

Sivir came running over, panting, and asked me, "How did you turn an enemy into a friend?"

"She's my friend Huo Su. Like me, she was transformed into Project Warrior and lost her original memories. Now that they've been restored, of course we'll go from enemies to friends."

Is that other person also your friend?

"No, but I know his past. If I can successfully subdue him, I can give it a try."

"It looks like it's coming soon; this person is about to give up."

"Oh, right, thank you! If you hadn't used the Khopesh to block Huo Su's attack, I probably would have been killed before she recovered."

"No problem, but this weapon is really good, it's incredibly powerful!"

"You'll become even more powerful once you've mastered the controls!"

"You'd better explain to me properly why you know me and why you're holding me like that. If your reason doesn't satisfy me, you're going to get a beating!"

"You'll be satisfied!"

Should I explain this properly? It seems I'll have to make up a lie, otherwise telling the truth will be troublesome. I can't exactly say we've already had children, can I?

As they spoke, Nasus and Huo Su had already taken control of Warwick. They first bound him with Hextech Rope, and then used Magic Circle to suppress him.

No matter how powerful Warwick was, he couldn't break free from such control. I only found an opportunity to communicate with him after he was completely exhausted.

Do you remember the Fangs Tribe of Freljord? They later changed their name to Avarosa.

"Get away from me, you traitor!" Warwick shouted hoarsely.

"I am not a traitor, nor am I [Future], but Ezreal. Furthermore, as you've already seen, Huo Su has regained his memories, not his codename [Flame]."

"That doesn't matter. My master may have altered my memories, but it's fine this way. I'm enjoying it!"

"Great? Using Fiora to attack Demacia is great? Using Katarina to attack Noxus is great? She might even send you to attack Freljord in the future!"

"Kill me, [Future]! You can't persuade me otherwise, or I'll still tear you to pieces!"

Seeing Warwick's stubbornness, I suddenly thought of his brother, "If you choose to die, your brother Uncle Wolf will be heartbroken, won't he? Think about it, how many years has it been since you last saw each other?"

Sure enough, upon hearing Uncle Wolf's name, he wavered, just as he had agonized over Huo Su's earlier actions.

It seems my idea was correct. As long as I lay the groundwork with past events and mention a few key names, I can awaken the memories of the Project Warrior!

As I continued recounting the story of the Avarosa tribe and Uncle Wolf, Warwick strength had long since been exhausted, was no longer struggling like Huo Su had before. Soon after, he suddenly burst into tears, and he had recovered!

"Looks like you've remembered."

"Who are you? How do you know about my relationship with Uncle Wolf? Very few people should know that we're brothers."

"I'm an explorer, so nothing surprises me."

"Thank you anyway. Camille is about to attack Freljord, and I need to stop her!"

"Don't be impulsive. You alone, or even just a few of us, aren't enough. To stop her, we need all Project Warrior to unite!"

"Unite all Project Warrior? Impossible! Just me and [Flame]—no, just me and Huo Su— had such a huge effort. Uniting everyone would be too difficult!"

"Believe me, I know that most people's memories can be awakened if we can control them. Now that your operation has failed, Camille will definitely send others. We'll use this method to continue increasing our allies until we can fight against her!"

"Okay, I believe you, but you have to hurry, otherwise it'll be pointless once Freljord is destroyed."

"Also destroyed? You mean Demacia and Noxus have been destroyed?"

"Pretty much. Silver City and Immortal Fortress were both destroyed by the Piltover was transformed into, which Camille named [Future Warrior]."

I gasped when I heard Warwick's words!

Camille actually destroyed the capitals of both the North and South nations with her massive mech, modified from Piltover!

What is the current situation in both places?

"Soldiers and civilians have already dispersed, because no matter how much force they concentrate, they are no match for Camille, and many high-ranking officials have also been assassinated by [Shadow] and his people."

"Let's head east, getting as close to Piltover as possible. This will save the enemy time in pursuit and allow us to free more warriors sooner."

"But this is too dangerous," Huo Su, still worried.

"There's no other way now; even if it's like walking into a trap, there's nothing we can do."

"It's not that I'd walk right into a trap. I know a very secluded place..."

The place Sivir was referring to was a small town called Akube, which was located near a harbor but had always been isolated due to its topography.

She had been there searching for treasure before and even met some local friends, so she knew quite a bit about it.

We immediately headed to Akubei. I was almost out of energy, but Huo Su gave me some, which allowed me to last a few more days.

Given the current situation, even having sufficient energy cannot guarantee safety; if energy is depleted, it is no different from death.

After crossing a stretch of shifting sands, we discovered this secluded town, and to be honest, the scenery here is nothing like Shurima.

Just moments ago, the sky was filled with yellow sand, but after walking a short distance, we came to see green mountains and clear waters. It was as if the surrounding sand curtain was concealing this place.

"How is it? Pretty nice here, right, Ezreal?"

"Yes, it is indeed a good place."

That's what I said, but that's not what I really thought.

Now that I have regained my memory, my past experiences make me uneasy about this beautiful place.

Whether it was the eastern plains of Demacia, the Freljord ice plains, or the entire Ionia, even barriers like Ixtal were not spared.

The more beautiful a place is, the more easily it is destroyed, especially after I, this "jinx," arrived.

So I made up my mind that if anyone came after me, I would fight far away from town.
