Chapter 504 Akali’s Heart Knot

"Why can't it be me?"

Li Lin's armor quickly turned into an Ionian-style short robe. Akali's eyes were stunned, and the sadness she had just cried quickly turned into curiosity.

"How... did you do that?" She tried her best to suppress the sobs caused by crying and said in a calm tone.

"Technology, what I learned in Piltover." Li Lin said with a smile and changed the subject: "Why did you sneak to such a remote place?"

Suddenly, Akali seemed to have thought of something, and nervously wiped her tear-stained face a few times, "I, I didn't cry!"

"Hmm... I don't think I said that either, right?"

Akali was stunned for a moment, then glared at Li Lin pretending to be evil, "Don't tell anyone!"

She is only 14 years old now, but even though she has experienced more than the average child, this little girl's character is almost the same as that of Bakuba and Seraphine.

Li Lin walked to the lakeside, next to where Akali was sitting just now, and looked back at her, "Come and sit."

"This is not your home. Why do you act like the master?"

Saying this, she sat back down again.

Li Lin knew that for various reasons, Akali had been troubled by her own knot for a long time.

If she is not solved as soon as possible, she will soon embark on the path of the original world line and become the "deviant thorn" who rebels against the Kinkou Sect and devotes herself to fighting the Noxians.

This has no effect on Li Lin's creation of the last line of defense for humanity assembled by heroes, and may even have negative effects.

It's a pity that Akali's mother Meimu doesn't care about her at all.

As a yordle, Kennan thinks and acts completely differently from humans most of the time, so he doesn't take into account the little girl's psychological problems.

Not to mention Shen, he couldn't even get over the knot in his mind that his father was "killed" by his best friend. He was like a slut every day, and he was only useful in teaching Akali kung fu and combat skills.

If we expect him to deal with Akali's inner problems, it is better to let him go out and maintain the balance between the material and spiritual realms. At least it will be beneficial to ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, I not only have to coordinate the conflicts between heroes, but now I also have to take on the responsibility of easing their psychological problems...

Li Lin picked up a small stone and floated it in the water.

Akali stared at the ripples on the clear lake in front of her and was stunned for a moment.

"When I was a child, my father secretly took me out to play and often walked in the river of green grass..."

Sadness flashed across her face, and she quickly shook her face, forced a smile, and changed the topic, "By the way, your name is Li Lin, right?"

"You actually know my name too?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and walked all the way to the temple where the Kinkou sect was hiding, until Akali suddenly disappeared. No one mentioned her name.

"Hey, don't you see who I am?"

Akali narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked proud, as if she thought she had won the game, and was completely gone from the previous sadness.

Kainan and Meimu had never heard the name "Li Lin" from Shen before, and they only learned about it after he introduced himself.

The only possibility is that Akali overheard the conversation between Shen and the Engineer a week ago.

"Okay, okay... little clever guy, I think you are very suitable for the position of Shadow Fist."

Finally hearing the compliments that she could count in the past few years, from an outsider, Akali's eyes widened, and the joy deep in her eyes was obvious.

"Do you really think so?"

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she frowned and pouted again, supported her bent legs with her elbows, and dragged her cheeks with her hands, looking bored.

"Well, you don't understand the Kinkou Sect at all. What you just said was to comfort me, right?"

"I am an Ionian, why don't I understand the Kinkou?"

Li Lin straightened his expression slightly, "The duty of the Eye of Twilight is to gaze at the stars, the duty of the Furious Heart is to chase the sun, and the duty of the Fist of Shadow is to prune branches.

"The Eye of Twilight is responsible for making calm decisions, the Fist of Shadow carries out tasks, and the Heart of Fury makes decisions and arbitrations to maintain the harmony of the sect."

"The eternal wisdom of stargazing, the steadfastness of day by day, and the indispensability of pruning. Only the three are indispensable to achieve balance. Isn't this the core teaching of the Balance Sect?"

Akali was shocked, "You haven't even been ordained as a disciple of the Kinkou Sect, how do you know so much about our sect?"

Then, she frowned and immediately stood up with an elegant backflip without any sloppiness, putting some distance between herself and Li Lin.

Four small kunais were found out of nowhere in her right hand, and they were sandwiched between her fingers.

"You're not a spy from the Kage genre, are you?"

Li Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. Akali didn't react at all, and the man in front of her suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, she felt a sharp wind blowing in front of her that stung her cheeks. Then the fingers of her right hand were all gone, and all the kunai she had held tightly disappeared.

And her intuition told her that there was an extra person behind her.

As soon as Akali turned around, Li Lin pressed his middle finger with his thumb and hit her fair forehead, causing a red mark to appear.

"It hurts!" Akali let out a cry of pain, immediately covered her forehead, took a few steps back, and stared at the man in front of her with an incredible look.

Having received ninja training, she has a high tolerance for pain. Although she will feel pain, this kind of "flicking" should not cause her to have such a reaction.

She didn't know that Li Lin used the force according to the limit of what she could bear, and just enough to prevent her from getting hurt.

It is completely impossible for ordinary people to do this, but with Zhinao's previous scan data records and his own super strong brain, it couldn't be easier to calculate such miscellaneous things.

Before she could be surprised for too long, Akali suddenly found that her four kunai were in his hands, and she was even more shocked.

"you……"

Her red-brown pupils widened, her mouth felt so dry that she could hardly speak.

Such a terrifying enemy was far faster than Shen, Mother, or even Kenan.

If this were in a real battle...

Akali simply couldn't imagine it, and she couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"So, do you still think I'm a spy?"

Li Lin chuckled, walked back to her, and put the kunai back into her hand.

Akali shook her head and clenched her fists, "You are much more powerful than the traitor from Shadow Stream."

And that’s not counting your armor that turns into clothes...

She added in her mind.

Then, the girl stuffed the kunai back into the cylindrical tool bag tied with a thick hemp rope around her waist, opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

"Do you want to ask me how I did it? Or, I have such great power, but I chose to escape the war and go to Piltover a few years ago?"

Li Lin sat back down, and Akali stopped messing around and sat next to him.

"It's a long story..."

In the next ten minutes or so, Li Lin quickly told Akali about his past experiences.

From the port of Placidia, I witnessed my parents being shot to death by random arrows before they boarded the ship. I drifted on the vast sea of ​​​​Watchers for several months before arriving in Piltover. I started as a handyman at the lowest level and worked my way up to the top of the ship. The Giraman family has become the Speaker of the House of Piltover and is the de facto controller of the Twin Cities.

He even mentioned the journey to Shurima and Demacia.

Among them, except for what happened after traveling to this world three years ago, the past is just his unreal memories.

Akali was fascinated by such a legendary experience. She did not expect that the man in front of her had a rich adventure experience.

Is there such a vast land outside Ionia?

Li Lin gave Akali time to think and fantasize until her thoughts returned to reality.

"You said that the reason why you are as strong as you are today is enhanced by technology?" Akali was obviously interested in this, "What is it called... Nami?"

"It's nano." Li Lin corrected. This word is difficult to pronounce in Ionian. "Why, do you want to use this to strengthen yourself and gain your mother's approval?"

Upon hearing this, Akali's expression froze with curiosity, stretched out her small fist, and hammered his arm mercilessly.

However, Li Lin didn't feel the pain. Instead, she covered her hands and her face almost twisted into a ball.

"Really, why are you harder than basalt?" She glared at Li Lin angrily, "Don't mention my mother to me, I hate her!"

"Sorry, this is my problem." Li Lin shrugged, but his expression was still sincere.

He deliberately changed the subject from this aspect, but with Akali's current life experience, he couldn't see this at all.

In the next few dozen seconds, she fell into silence again, her face showing hesitation.

Li Lin turned his face sideways and looked down at the little girl who had not yet developed her body. "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I..." Akali pursed her white lips, and as soon as she raised her head, she looked into his deep eyes.

She shifted her gaze, took a deep breath, and seemed to muster up the courage, "I want to ask, you just said you helped Demacia soldiers heal their eyes, can you regenerate severed limbs?"

As soon as she said this, before Li Lin could answer, she shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, I'm such a fool, how can you do something that even magic can't do... Pretend I didn't ask Bar."

"I didn't even say anything, who told you that it can't be done?"

Akali thought she heard wrongly, and turned back suddenly with a look of shock, "You, what did you say?"

Li Lin raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Isn't it just regeneration of a severed limb? It's simple. It's not a problem at all for me."

He stretched out his right hand, and under Akali's stunned eyes, countless nanomachines separated from his cuff, forming a long metal tube about the size of Akali's calf, which was quickly compressed to the size of a palm.

"If the person you are talking about is about the same age as you, this can completely solve the problem."
