For some reason, an expression of fear appeared on Andel's face.

"I was very angry at the time and didn't think much about it. I picked up a stone from the roadside and quietly walked towards the source of Natalie and Qin's voices.

“But when I left the farmland and went deeper into the forest, I came to a clearing. A scarecrow holding a lantern stood in the distance… and the sound seemed to come from it.”

Hearing this, Li Lin was stunned, "What?!"

"What's wrong?"

Jarvan IV, Shyvana, and Barrett were all surprised by his excited reaction, their eyes focused on him.

Li Lin ignored them and strode forward a few steps, standing in front of Andel and staring at him solemnly.

"You mean... Scarecrow?"

"Scarecrow... yes, a scarecrow!" The fear and anger in his eyes became even stronger, and his emotions were a little hysterical. "That's a magical scarecrow! It's the wizard's dark sorcery!"

"Calm down, Andel."

Jarvan IV couldn't help but frown. The man had suffered such a great blow that his emotions were a little broken.

But Li Lin's thoughts were different from Jarvan IV's. A terrifying thought emerged in his heart -

Fiddlesticks.

But shouldn't he have come only after Sylas led the mages in rebellion and fear spread throughout Demacia?

At this point in time, even in the original world line, it has been 7 years since Silas escaped...

What is going on here?

Could it be that the fear caused by this chaos on the border will attract the leader of the ten ancient demons?

But wasn't the fear brought about by the previous explosion in Zaun even more severe than this, and wouldn't it necessarily attract this demon of fear?

Also, if it was really Fiddlesticks who did it, why was this man able to escape from it?

Li Lin was puzzled.

But the next second, a song he had heard on Earth suddenly emerged in his mind.

It was a ballad about Fiddlesticks, a duet between a mother and daughter, and it suddenly dawned on him.

It wasn't fear that summoned Fiddlesticks, but this ballad, the song that had been passed down in Demacia for centuries, that summoned him...

Although Fiddlesticks' name isn't mentioned anywhere in the song, Natalie, knowing this long-forgotten song, must have mentioned Fiddlesticks' name, no matter which one it was.

Other demons would reveal their weaknesses when their names were called, but the ten ancient demons were different.

Regardless of whether their real names are called, they will surely follow the caller's voice.

In addition, the border of Demacia has been in chaos in recent days, and there is already a sense of fear, so it is easy to summon Fiddlesticks.

Just as Li Lin was thinking, he heard Ander continue: "Just as I was about to go check on the scarecrow, someone in the village saw me rushing out of the village. Fearing that something might happen to me, they came looking for me.

"The village chief called my name, and I turned around to answer. When I turned back again, the scarecrow had disappeared... Because of this, I was sure that this must have been the work of a wizard!

"They kidnapped my Natalie and Jean, intending to use them for some evil ritual!" Andel burst into tears again. "Your Highness, Lord Bouvier, you must help me find my wife and daughter!"

Before Jarvan IV could respond, Li Lin stopped him and said, "Your Highness, can I have a private conversation with you?"

"Can."

He explained to Barrett, then took Li Lin to another room adjacent to the combat meeting room and closed the door.

"When Andel mentioned Scarecrow, you got very emotional. What happened?" Jarvan IV was puzzled. "Do you know what's going on?"

"Your Highness, I don't recommend you go to Hengfeng Village." Li Lin said bluntly.

"Why?"

"Demon, they encountered a demon... the leader of the ten ancient demons, the embodiment of fear for all living beings."
