The piano flicks the strings, the mountains and the flowing water meet the friend
The chess battle changes, the black and white jumbles up the smoke
The calligraphy and the snake, the flying ink, the Tibetan soldier
The painting is full of red and blue, and the skill is overwhelming to stay in the world-2021 Global Finals LPL's theme short film

Oh! Occasionally I walked to the forest because the ground is covered with tree roots! Don't stumble, girl, don't stumble. Now... She went outside the forest. "This very fairy-tale literary description has clearly explained where Lilia came from. There are more details, such as the translation of the Q skill "Flying Flower Tart" from the way the skill is used to wave a branch in her hand, and "Tart" "" means to hit with a whip or stick.
