For the whole world, five years can change a lot.
For example, the life of the Freljord people in the north is getting better and better.
The two battle mothers, Ai Xi and Zhuang Seni, will participate in the gladiatorial competition every year. Not only have they won a lot of money in the competition, they have also received great help from the fan group!
The two war mothers exchanged all their money for supplies, which prevented the people of their tribes from starving to death and freezing to death. Instead, their tribes absorbed more small tribes.
Now, the entire northern land has been divided into two by their two tribes.
Beyond the North, the war between Ionia and Noxus in the east is over.
Leaving the land devastated, the Noxian invading armies were driven across its borders.
Then, those Ionia masters left their hometown and went to the Twin Cities to find a way to prevent their hometown from being invaded again.
Karma, Irelia, Wuji Swordsman Yi, Li Qing, many masters gathered in Shuangcheng with different purposes, and were quickly attracted by the competition mechanism.
Some people want to hone themselves in the competition, while others fancy the championship reward of the competition!
The champions can ask the Twins to do one thing for them!
Many heroes of Ionia have found their purpose!
They want to win the championship. At that time, they can use that request to obtain various high-end technologies of the Twin Cities, and use those technologies to protect the country from the invasion of Noxus!
Someone brought this goal back to Ionia, and more heroes came to the Twin Cities!
Human heroes, heroes of the vastaya tribe, all of them have gone abroad and come to Twin Cities!
This makes the Twin Cities even more prosperous!
In today's Shuangcheng, you can see tourists and caravans from all over the world!
Mighty Freljord! Dark-skinned Shuriman, etc.
The Twin Cities became a gathering place for all races!
The two 'Hexgates' are busy almost all the time, and people from all over the world are welcomed and sent there!
Under this general environment, Shuangcheng is generally considered to be very peaceful and peaceful.
But the composition of tourists is too complicated, which has also led to constant small problems in the city.
Fortunately, Zaun has opened up an optimized version of Shimmer Potion to Piltover.
Now, Piltover's law enforcement team has been completely strengthened, and ordinary people have also begun to have limited access to drinking water containing shimmer potions.
With the continuous strengthening of physical fitness, the Picheng people finally have the strength to face those sudden little chaos.
Of course, there are some messes that normal people can't handle.
Like the questions raised by the heroes.
Most of the heroes from all over the world have gathered in the Twin Cities, and not all of them are honest.
There are some issues with some of the heroes' personalities.
Most of them are relatively restrained.
But there are still a small number of people who are confident.
Among them, the most troublesome and representative hero is sitting in a tavern at this moment.
The name of the tavern is simple and easy to remember, it is called the Heroes Tavern.
The tavern is located in Pierwater, not far from the gladiatorial ring.
To be able to obtain such a good land, the tavern owner naturally has some status.
The boss is Ezreal.
Because he was a native Piltover hero, and he sold the antiques from those expeditions, the combination of two factors made it difficult for Ezreal to get a piece of land in the best location.
He built a tavern on it, and relying on his identity as a contestant, he cheekily pulled many contestants to the tavern as advertising signs.
At the beginning, Ezreal just gave the contestants free orders, and used the contestants to attract their fans to spend in the tavern.
But over time, the tavern turned into a place for heroes to hang out.
In this regard, the shrewd Ezreal immediately changed the business content of the tavern to a private club that only contestants are allowed to enter.
In this way, his tavern became even more famous, and it really became the first choice for heroes to relax.
Like now.
At this time, some heroes were sitting inside the tavern.
The bar counter was occupied by the figures of two big men.
One of them was yelling and warning something to the other big guy.
But the big man who was warned didn't pay attention, just kept pouring glasses of wine into his mouth.
At a table in the corner of the tavern sat two 'vastayans'.
They were a man and a woman, and their furry ears trembled from time to time while they were chatting.
In another corner, an alternative combination of four people sat around.
Among them was a prodigal swordsman in a blue cloth robe, and a half-orc with a jackal's head.
The other two were women, the two Shurima players who participated in the first duel.
They were Sivir and the little Taliyah girl who could control stones.
The atmosphere in this group is a bit awkward.
The jackal and half-orc often tried to persuade Sivir, but Sivir seemed very impatient.
The little girl Taliyah comforted Sivir from time to time, but spent more time asking the rogue swordsman about his control ability.
In the whole tavern, their table was the loudest.
But the other guests didn't complain.
At the table near the entrance of the tavern, two female hunters from Demacia were drinking quietly.
They are Wayne and Quinn.
They only glanced at the table next to Sivir's four people occasionally, and they spent more time supervising the two people at the other wine table.
The persons under surveillance are the two sisters of Du Caucao's family.
Cassiopeia has now turned into a half-human, half-snake monster, and her identity as a member of the Black Rose has also been exposed.
She has completely broken with her father.
As an older sister, Katerina was on her father's side, but Cassiopeia was her biological sister after all.
Therefore, Katerina can only get in touch with her sister in the neutral place of Shuangcheng.
As for Katerina being monitored, this is also due to the influence of the general environment.
After Swain's coup, he recalled the legion that was doing unnecessary aggression everywhere, and then set the main hostile target of the empire on Demacia.
Today, although the two most powerful countries have not officially fought, various small conflicts are very frequent.
As a top assassin, Katerina certainly made a lot of assassinations, so she was on Demacia's wanted list.
Therefore, when the news of Katerina's appearance in the Twin Cities was reported back to Demacia, Wayne and Quinn were immediately hired to monitor her.
But Caitlina is completely confident in the Shuangcheng side.
She was not afraid of the Demacians attacking her here in Shuangcheng, and she even tried her best to provoke her.
Like now.
While chatting with her younger sister, Cassiopeia, Katerina sometimes toasts to Vayne and Quinn, who are watching her.
Her demeanor was provocative, as if she wished Wei En and Quinn could do something to her.
Inside the bar.
As the owner of the tavern, Ezreal looked helpless.
He sometimes looked at the two strong men in front of the bar, and sometimes looked at Katerina worriedly.
Ezreal always felt that something was wrong today.
And his premonition came true!
boom!
With a loud bang, the hinged door of the tavern was violently kicked open!
Six law enforcement officers walked in quickly.
They scanned the audience and immediately set their targets on a strong man in front of the bar!
All conversations in the tavern disappeared instantly.
At this time, two more figures came in from the door one after another.
Vi leads the way, with Jinx following.
Five years have passed, and the appearance of the two sisters has not changed at all.
Wei still looks like she was in her early twenties, but her temperament is much calmer.
And Jinx still has that lively and immature look, and still has that ignorant, innocent and carefree demeanor.
At this time, the two sisters who walked into the tavern also stared at the strong man in front of the bar.
"Guragas!"
Wei shouted, "You've committed a crime! Be honest and follow me back to the Law Enforcement Bureau!"
"Is that you?!"
Jinx also yelled as if looking for trouble: "You caused the chaos at the concert yesterday?! My good sister Seraphine, but you made me cry after the concert!"
"Guragas!!"
Another strong man in front of the bar immediately complained in a low voice: "How many times have I told you to restrain yourself! Look! The reputation of our Freljord has been ruined by you again!"
"Stop talking to me!"
The red-haired Gragas wiped the wine on his red beard.
He said indifferently: "Bron, what the hell are you qualified to teach me?!"
"Because you represented us, the Freljord, in the game!"
The big man named Bron said in a low voice: "Over the years, relying on the reputation we have gained with great difficulty, we have obtained enough supplies for the residents in the ice and snow!"
"If you ruin the reputation of our Freljord! Watch out for those two war mothers to tear you apart!"
"Hmph! Just relying on those two girls?"
Gragas spoke disdainfully: "My business has nothing to do with you! I'm not from your Freljord. I just traveled around your place to find inspiration and materials for brewing."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Wei stepped closer to the bar at this time, she stared at Gragas with displeasure and said, "Big guy, obediently follow me back to the Law Enforcement Bureau! Not only did you have the concert yesterday, you also caused chaos many times before! These things combined are enough to sentence you!"
"Hey!"
Little Huang Mao Ezreal quickly activated the ability of the artifact and teleported out from inside the bar.
He stood in front of Wei with a flattering smile.
Rubbing his hands together, Ezreal said with a smile, "Wei, can you save face? Don't arrest people here. If that happens, the reputation of my tavern will be ruined."
"Go aside!"
Jinx came out from behind Vi.
She raised her foot and kicked Ezreal's leg lightly, while staring at Gragas and said: "This bastard dares to disrupt my sister's concert! I must punish him!"
"Are you afraid?!"
Gragas suddenly stood up!
The height of nearly two meters is extremely oppressive!
He looked down at Wei and Jinx, and said in a provocative tone: "Do you think you are great after winning a few championships?! The competition limits everyone's strength and moves. If you really want to fight, you think I only have those two moves in the arena. ?!"
"Guragas!!"
Bron immediately got up as well. He reached out and pressed Gragas' shoulder from behind, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble! Do you really want to die?! If you dare to make a big deal here! Those two The war mother will never let you go!"
"Let go!"
Gragas shook his shoulders vigorously.
After shaking off Braum's hand, he glanced down at Vi and Jinx again.
Then, Gragas snorted coldly, and said to Ezreal who was still showing a flattering expression: "Little Huangmao, quickly organize someone to fish me out, otherwise I will never treat you here again." Offer any drop of drink!"
"Hey don't!"
Ezreal immediately switched the favored target to Gragas.
He rubbed his hands and laughed: "Don't worry, bro! I will immediately go to join the other tavern owners, and we will invite the best legal experts to sue for you!"
After finishing speaking, Ezreal bowed his waist and smiled at Wei again: "Boss Wei, you see, Master Gragas is the guest of all the taverns in the city. If the reputation in the world is bad, it will be looked down upon by people all over the world."
"Go aside!"
Wei scolded in disgust.
Then she looked up at the confident Gragas, and couldn't help but snorted and said: "Is it great to know how to make wine?! Some people just don't want to! Otherwise, your wine is not enough to look at in front of him!"
It was said that Gragas only regarded Wei as saving face for himself.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
Looking down at Wei with a sneer, Gragas took the initiative to walk towards the door.
Wei is also not good at violent law enforcement.
She could only stare at the little yellow-haired Ezreal, and then waved her hand to signal to stop the team.
This makes Jinx very boring to be around.
She glanced around at the other people in the tavern, and then turned her attention to Cassiopeia.
"Go back by yourself!"
Jinx said to Wei: "I'll stay for a drink, by the way, clean up that guy for me when I get back!"
After finishing speaking, Jinx bounced and ran to the wine table where the sisters Du Kecao and the others were sitting.
"Hi, Medusa."
Taking a seat without any formality, Jinx greeted Cassiopeia with a smile.
This made Cassiopeia frown, and said in a repulsive tone: "My name is not Medusa! My name is Cassiopeia!"
"It's just a name, it doesn't matter~"
Jinx said something with a laugh, and looked at Ezreal who sent Wei and the law enforcement officer to the door.
"Little yellow hair!"
She greeted loudly: "Quickly serve the wine to Miss Ben!"
"I'm coming!"
Ezreal responded quickly, and activated the artifact on his wrist to teleport into the bar.
After pouring the wine and teleporting out again, Ezreal put three wine glasses on the table, and said flatteringly, "Jinx, I've ordered this wine."
Jinx waved his hand in disgust.
When she looked at Cassiopeia again, the smile hung on her face again...
