LOL: Let me touch your steel

Although Zhang Xu had already obtained enough funds from Azir when he returned to Shurima, he could still save money in some areas. Why spend money on something that can be done for free?
Wouldn’t it be nice to save the money and buy some delicious food for the foodies around you?
Listening to Zhang Xu’s request, Sarah turned her head away and whispered in a voice that only they could hear:
“That’s really too much…”
However, Kaisa and the others did not have any special reactions – after all, Zhang Xu had also tried his best to take advantage of Ezreal, and this kind of scene was commonplace, if not inevitable.
“I understand. Come with me.”
Looking at Zhang Xu’s serious expression, Wayne took a deep breath and finally nodded in agreement.
“I feel really sick here… I hate it here.”
After walking for a distance behind Vayne, Syndra couldn’t help but whispered, “I feel like the power in my body seems to be suppressed in some way. Although this suppression can’t restrict me too much, it still makes me very uncomfortable.”
As soon as these words came out, Lulu immediately nodded vigorously.
She had wanted to say it for a long time, that she felt very uncomfortable here, but she just had no chance to say it.
Even Janna, who was usually gentle and taciturn, nodded after a brief hesitation.
Among the few people, only Kassadin, Sarah and Sivir’s feelings were not so obvious.
Zhang Xu raised his head and his eyes fell on the various pure white buildings around him, and he immediately understood.
From the appearance, the magic-forbidden stone is hard and pure white, a bit like marble, but obviously cleaner and without impurities. In the Demacia capital, whether it is the city walls or the buildings and houses, they are basically based on this white magic-forbidden stone.
There are magic-forbidden stone buildings all around, so it has a certain inhibitory effect on everyone.
Kaisa and others who possess the energy of ascension may also be affected to a certain extent, but the impact on them will definitely not be as obvious as Syndra and others.
Chapter 346 Jarvan IV
Soon, Zhang Xu and others followed Wei En to her manor.
This is a manor with a classical architectural style. It is also based on the magic-forbidden stone and is white in color. Although it looks full of ancient atmosphere, it is still not difficult to see the fineness of its original construction.
This was the legacy left to Wei En by her parents after their death, but in fact, Wei En rarely came back here. If Zhang Xu hadn’t asked her to do so, she would probably only come back here during the annual worship ceremony.
Because this place carries all of Wayne’s childhood memories, and it is also the place where her parents died – whenever she returns here, Wayne will involuntarily recall the past and think of the tragic scene when her parents died.
Wayne hated the murderer who killed her parents, and she hated herself even more.
After so many years, she could only search hard for the murderer who killed her parents, and she was never able to get real revenge.
Seeing everything in the manor as it was before, Wayne’s heart twitched, but he didn’t show it on the surface. He just spoke calmly:
“Except for the locked room in the entire manor, you can allocate the rest of the rooms as you wish. I have something else to do, so please excuse me.”
Weien left in a hurry. Looking at her leaving, a thoughtful look appeared on Zhang Xu’s face.
……
—-
Night falls, passing in a flash.
Wayne never came back, but the manor welcomed three uninvited guests.
Zhang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked quietly at the man in the lead.
He was tall and strong, with a tough face and clear lines. Although he was only wearing casual clothes, it was not difficult to tell from his manners and temperament that he was either rich or noble.
As for the two people behind him…
The first thing Zhang Xu noticed was the woman behind the man. She had a unique appearance and purple skin that made her stand out in the crowd. She was wearing very heavy red armor, but it did not restrict her movements, but instead added a bit of solemnity to her.
Finally, there was a middle-aged man standing silently behind the man. He looked quite dignified, dressed like a butler’s guard, and holding a sharp spear in his hand.
The identities of the three people are easy to guess…
Prince of Demacia, Jarvan IV.
Dragonblood Warrior, Shyvana and Seneschal of Debon, Xin Zhao.
Demacia’s actions are really swift…
They had just entered the Demacia capital during the day, and these three guys came up to them at night.
Zhang Xu thought about it carefully and had the impression that no one noticed them during the day… He was very curious about how he was discovered.
Or…
Did Jarvan IV just come to find Vayne and they just happened to run into each other?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Zhang Xu rejected it himself.
If Jarvan is here to find Vayne, there is no need to bring both Shyvana and Xin Zhao.
“What is your name?”
Jarvan glanced around inconspicuously and said in a deep voice, “What is your purpose in sneaking into the Demacia capital?”
Sivir sat aside bored and yawned lazily. Most of the others were in the same state. Lulu even fell asleep in Janna’s arms.
The three guys in front of them were no different from mortals in their eyes. At best, they were just slightly stronger mortals. Perhaps only the power contained in Shyvana could make them look sideways.
But that’s about it.
They really have no interest in dealing with such guys.
Zhang Xu shrugged and said with a half-smile: “Before asking others, shouldn’t you tell your name first?”
Hearing this, Zhao Xin behind Jarvan did not react at all. Instead, Shyvana’s eyes narrowed, but before she could make a move, Jarvan stopped her with his eyes.
Jarvan took in the reactions of Zhang Xu, Kaisa and the others, but he was not annoyed. He smiled calmly and said, “That’s my fault. My name is Jarvan.”
Jarvan did not shy away from revealing his identity as the prince of Demacia – in Demacia, the name of Jarvan’s family has penetrated into everyone’s heart, and this name is also a kind of glory that belongs exclusively to the royal family.
“Zhang Xu.”
Zhang Xu stretched out a finger and waved it at Jia Wen: “I want to correct you. We didn’t sneak in with great effort. We walked in openly. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Wei En.”
“Also, I have one more thing to remind you, Prince of Demacia.”
Zhang Xu said in a deep voice: “Even if you are a prince of Demacia, you should show some respect to the Sun Priest of Shurima…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jarvan’s pupils shrank suddenly, and even Zhao Xin, who had remained calm all this time, showed a look of surprise.
“Are you a Sun Priest of Shurima?”
Jarvan was suddenly filled with doubts. Since Shurima reappeared in the world, Jarvan had been studying a lot of records about Shurima at his father’s request.
This is an extremely powerful country, but also an extremely dangerous country.
Although Shurima and Demacia are thousands of miles apart, Jarvan is still full of fear of this ancient empire.
Ascendant…God Warrior…
It’s unimaginable.
The Sun Priest…
Why would the most powerful being in Shurima come all the way to Demacia?
“No need to be nervous.”
Zhang Xu snapped his fingers and said with a smile, “I have had a hobby since I was a child, which is to travel to every corner of Runeterra. Demacia is just one of the stops on my journey. Before Demacia, I had already been to places like Bilgewater, Ionia, and Noxus.”
“So, you don’t have to worry about my ulterior motives for coming to Demacia.”
A smile appeared on Jiawen’s face again. He realized that since he asked about Zhang Xu’s identity, he had fallen into the other party’s rhythm.
In other words, I seemed a little immature in front of him.
However, he didn’t believe a word Zhang Xu said.
Also traveling…
It is recorded in the ancient books about Shurima that the Sun Priest is in charge of the most important ascension ceremony of the Shurima Empire. Not only does he have to verify the identity of the person undergoing the ascension ceremony, he also has to perform the ascension ceremony himself!
Such an important person, and you told me that you like to travel and wander around Runeterra?
Jarvan took a deep breath, and Zhao Xin, who was standing behind him, immediately understood what he meant. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
“Since you are a Shurima Sun Priest, then you must be genuine. But just in case, please prove your identity.”
Chapter 347: The Colossus of Justice
You want proof, right?
Zhang Xu raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: “Okay, but… are you sure?”
Zhao Xin frowned, and even Jarvan didn’t understand what Zhang Xu meant.
“What do you mean, sir?”
“I’m just worried that you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
As he spoke, Zhang Xu neatly took out the emblem that symbolized the identity of the Sun Priest from his arms and threw it directly to Zhao Xin. Then he continued:
“I think you have never seen this thing. This seal alone may not be enough to prove my identity, so…”
As Zhang Xu finished speaking, Xiweier’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she took two steps forward as if she was just looking for fun. Kassa and Sarah followed Xiweier and stood behind Zhang Xu.
Only Janna, Syndra and Lulu were left.
Lulu stared at the actions of Sivir and the other two with her big, shining eyes, pulled Janna’s hand and whispered, “Sister Janna, are we going up there too?”
Cana vaguely guessed what these people were going to do, smiled gently, touched Lulu’s head with her hand and said softly: “No, just leave it to them.”
Sindra on the side tilted her head, looking like she was enjoying the show.
Zhang Xu glanced at the three people behind him with some surprise, but didn’t say much. He just smiled slightly and felt instantly happy.
As expected, after spending a long time together, we developed a tacit understanding and could guess what I wanted to do.
Noticing the actions of Sivir and the other two, Zhao Xin stood in front of Jarvan as if facing a formidable enemy. His body was tense and his expression became alert.
Jia Wen frowned, a little confused: “This is…”
Before he could utter the word “what do you mean”, a surge of energy suddenly rose up.
