The sun was rising, and the sky was turning pale.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Li Lin was teleported to a remote location outside the Castle of Dawn, the capital of Demacia.
Through practice, although the nano energy core will be slightly affected by the magic-forbidden stone, it is mainly used to maintain the normal operation of the armor and almost no energy leakage will occur.
That is, teleporting, flying, or using energy weapons may be slightly affected.
As a magic-forbidden stone that absorbs and stores energy, it naturally cannot have much impact on the Infinite Armor.
After changing his clothes back into the aristocratic clothing style provided by the royal family, Li Lin walked around the castle outside the Dawn Castle and then went straight to the castle.
The guards at the door obviously recognized him and no one stopped him. One guard even stepped forward respectfully and asked if he needed help.
After asking, Li Lin was surprised to learn that King Jarvan III had given him access to the Castle of Dawn.
As long as it is not bedtime at night or the royal family has explicitly prohibited entry to important places, he can move freely in the Castle of Dawn.
Just like the families that are very friendly with the king, such as Barrett, Pete Crownguard, Galen Crownguard and Kasina Bouvier who have a good relationship with Jarvan IV.
It was still early, so Li Lin decided to go and talk to Morgana first.
But before he could return to his room, he just turned the corner and ran into Zhao Xin coming from the other side.
It seems that the name has a feeling of hometown on Earth, or maybe they are both Ionians and are related by blood, Li Lin has a relatively high favorability towards Zhao Xin.
"Good morning, Manager Zhao."
Because they were in the Demacia Palace, Li Lin followed local etiquette, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and greeted Zhao Xin.
He placed the end of his spear on the ground, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed slightly in a respectful salute. "Hello, Master Li."
"No, no, I can't handle being called 'Sir.'" Li Lin waved his hands awkwardly. "You're my elder, just call me by my name."
To be honest, although Li Lin is also an old player of League of Legends, his deepest impression of Xin Zhao is still the image in a once funny fan animation "La La La Demacia".
Demacia's three best friends in the bush are Garen, Jarvan IV, and Xin Zhao.
Although it sounds weird, Xin Zhao is actually older than Prince Jarvan IV and Garen. After all, he is called uncle by the prince.
He is actually of the same generation as Jarvan III, Barrett and Tiana.
I don’t know if it’s because of the talented people of Ionia, or the protection and nourishment of magic.
Compared to King Jarvan III and Barrett, who are in their 40s but already have gray hair, Xin Zhao still has a youthful face with barely visible wrinkles.
At first glance, he really was galloping across the battlefield, looking somewhat distressed, and somewhat similar in age to the aged Jarvan IV...
In Runeterra, Zhao Xin is considered a man with a miserable life.
He was originally a diligent and hardworking fisherman, but one time when he went fishing he mistakenly entered the Noxian waters, was boarded and captured by two Noxian raiding ships, and was sold to the Reckoning Arena of the Immortal Bastion.
The name "liquidator" sounds good, but in fact most liquidators are slaves.
Every day they had to fight other warriors and even ferocious beasts for survival, just to win the cheers of the audience in the arena.
Unable to return home, and because Noxus advocated the use of force, the owner who bought Zhao Xin thought he was a brave warrior.
Zhao Xin, who had nothing, picked up the spear he was good at and won fame in just a few years.
Later, as Noxus's external expansion wars became more intense and the empire declined, the previously conquered countries launched a wave of resistance.
In order to maintain national stability, the former Noxian Emperor Bron Darkwill bought out most of the liquidators in the Arena of Reckoning and deployed them to the war on the western border of Demacia.
Zhao Xin is among them.
However, the western front was easily broken by King Jarvan III and the Fearless Vanguard and elite troops led by Fearless Vanguard Sword Captain Tiana.
Only when they were captured did they learn that their military action was not for the Empire, because the Empire did not regard them as human beings at all, but only sent them to die to contain Demacia.
Among them, Xin Zhao, the strongest among the liquidators who killed hundreds of Demacia soldiers, was summoned by King Jarvan III in person and begged to join the king's personal guard.
Jarvan III admires Xin Zhao's strength and character, but Tiana is different. She has always been resentful and wary of this former Ionian and later Noxian liquidator.
She even hit Zhao Xin in the back with a club, forcing him to swear an oath that if anything happened to the king, he would die as a token of his guilt.
However, more than ten years have passed, and Zhao Xin's various performances have demonstrated his absolute loyalty to the Lightshield royal family. Tiana no longer targets him, and even begins to appreciate him.
All sorts of chaotic thoughts flashed through Li Lin's mind, and Zhao Xin replied respectfully, "You are a distinguished guest of the Lightshield royal family, someone His Majesty has personally commanded to receive special attention. We, those loyal to the Lightshield royal family, will carry out the king's orders to the end."
After saying that, Zhao Xin gave Li Lin a smile, an expression he had not seen him show yesterday afternoon or even at the banquet that evening.
If it weren't for the king, Zhao Xin would be quite kind to others, just like his character when he was a fisherman.
Several years of slavery as a liquidator and more than ten years of service to the Demacia royal family had brought about very little change in him.
Li Lin returned the polite smile. "Are you on patrol so early?"
"Your Majesty had a hangover last night and hasn't gotten up yet, so I just happen to have some free time." Zhao Xin explained with a smile.
No matter how strong Zhao Xin is, he is still an ordinary mortal who needs to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, sleep and rest.
During the day, he stayed by Jarvan III's side, providing close protection.
At night, he would hand over to the elite guards of the palace and return to his room to rest.
Before sunrise the next day, he would train again in the training ground of Dawn Castle, day after day, without interruption.
This was what he told Li Lin in person when they were on their way back to Xiongdu.
"I've already made my rounds and am now preparing to go to the training grounds to practice my skills again."
"Martial arts training ground?"
When he heard this word, Li Lin's eyes suddenly lit up and an idea emerged in his mind.
Zhao Xin was confused by the way he looked at him, "Why..."
"Manager Zhao, are you willing to spar with me?"
