Hope appeared on Sona's face, but it was quickly replaced by despair.
"I really don't know how they are doing now... A few years ago, I accidentally heard my mother say that Noxus attacked the Silana Monastery not long after I left Galin Province. The elders..."
"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Li Lin gave Sona a reassuring smile. "I heard that a monk who had awakened the power of the dragon and a spirit walker from Freljord who happened to be at the monastery joined forces to repel the Noxians."
"Really? That's great." This news obviously encouraged Sona, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Lin stared at her profile and asked, "Do you miss home?"
Sona blinked and turned her head, just in time to meet his eyes, giving him a questioning look.
"Well, look at the way I asked this question." Li Lin changed his tone and asked again: "Now that the war is over, have you ever thought about going back to take a look?"
"Although the war in Ionia is over, the war in Demacia is not." Sona lowered her eyes slightly and sighed silently. "Didn't Noxus send troops to attack the border a while ago? Even His Royal Highness the Prince almost fell into the enemy's hands."
In fact, that should be an order issued privately by Black Rose.
Li Lin did not convey this sentence to Sona, and although she could understand Ionian, she would not intend to explore his inner thoughts.
"If you miss home, I can take you back to see it."
Hearing this, Sona's breath hitched, and she immediately recalled the question her sister Kashina had asked her just this morning.
If Li Lin wanted to take me away from Demacia, what would my choice be...
Li Lin noticed Sona's expression slightly changed, but he didn't think much about it. He thought she knew she had to travel a long way to go back and was reluctant to leave her family.
"Using the Hextech Flygate, we can travel tens of thousands of kilometers back to our hometown in just a few seconds."
"Hexgate?" Sona's eyes flashed with surprise. "I think I heard my father mention this name last year. Someone came to Xiongdu to request the installation of a tower, but the king refused... I heard it's a kind of magic?"
"It's a kind of arcane magic, using technology to control magic."
Li Lin nodded in response and quickly explained to her the principle of the Hextech flying door.
"So... we can go through the Hexgate and get back to Ionia in just a few seconds?"
A look of hope appeared on Sona's little face.
"However, Demacia doesn't allow the construction of Hexgates right now. It's not just because of the forbidden magic codex, but also because Demacia has expressly banned official trade, and our Gilaman family represents Piltover.
"If we want to reach Ionia by airship Hexgate, we must depart from White Cliff City south of the Silver Mountains, then teleport to Dalu Bay south of Navoli Province, and then take a boat to Garin Province."
Li Lin didn't give Sona any time to react in disappointment. He raised his lips slightly and suddenly changed the subject: "If you want faster, I have invented a small mecha equipped with a 'teleportation' module. It can carry us directly to Garin Province."
Sona looked surprised. "Then why didn't you just tell me the last method? It made me so emotional..."
"Of course..." Li Lin reached out and gently scratched her nose, "It's fun."
This intimate gesture made Sona's cheeks visibly red. She looked away quickly as if she had received an electric shock, and her voice was filled with a hint of annoyance, "Why are you as annoying as your sister?"
However, Li Lin did not hear any dislike in her voice.
On the contrary, she still had a glimmer of anticipation.
If there really is such a technology that can teleport at will, then wouldn’t my sister’s worries be solved?
Sona felt happy in her heart, and the way she looked at Li Lin was different.
"Let's go to the next place."
