Chapter 1077 Chapter 1075
"Then I won't disturb you two."
The old mage was very discerning and seemed to have guessed Lester's identity. After nodding to Lester, he took the initiative to leave to leave some private space for the two of them.
Yagnis did not pay attention to the old mage's departure. Her attention was immediately attracted by the runes on the stone tablet that were like silver snakes entwining and flowing. She frowned slightly and suddenly spoke.
"I seem to have seen these runes. The sealing technique used by Maisha has a very similar composition to the runes here."
Lester also looked at the runes on the stone tablet. These runes were his own runes that he refined and reconstructed from the space rune magic of Rune Land using world runes. Their operation concept also relied on Io. The Astral Gate Teleportation Stone in Omikayalan in the Nia Psychedelic Forest is originally related to the stars.
When Ryze was searching for world rune fragments all over the world, many of the world runes in the Rune Temple were probably studied by the protoss. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the twilight protoss possesses powers similar to these runes.
He was more concerned about the unclear history of the demise of the dark descendants.
According to various existing ancient documents, the dark descendants who dominate Runeterra are like summer cicadas blown to death by an autumn wind. They were clamoring the whole world one day, but disappeared without a trace the next day.
The only thing that is certain is that most of the dark descendants were killed, and a small number of special dark descendants were sealed in their weapons by the twilight star Maisha and became Aatrox. The dark version of "Grandpa Qi Ling".
"Can you tell me in detail? I have always been curious about how Maisha hunted the fallen Ascended Ones. After all, the Ascended Ones also inherited the power of the Star Dragon. Even if the Twilight Star Spirits are powerful, they should not I’ll treat you like little white rabbits, unless you don’t even have the ability to resist.”
Hearing Lester mention the past, Yagnis suddenly shifted his gaze from the stone tablet, looking at Lester with uneasiness in his eyes.
As far as Yagnis's character is concerned, such emotions are enough to explain a lot of things. However, when Lester recalled every moment of getting along with Zoe, it was hard to believe that Maisha, who chose Zoe as his successor, could make Yagnis feel fear.
Seeing Lester's doubts, Yagnis said in a deep voice.
"That is a power that we cannot understand, Lester. No ascended person is Maisha's opponent. Even the most difficult ascended person to kill is helpless in front of Maisha.
This is not the most puzzling thing. The most incomprehensible thing is that she can easily find the Ascended Ones who are hiding, no matter where they hide. Otherwise, I would not have possessed Vladimir by pretending to commit suicide. Escaped from Maisha's pursuit. "
After a pause, Yagnis suddenly asked.
"Can I do demo magic here?"
Lester nodded solemnly, showing his absolute trust in Yagnis, who was coming to the Star Gate for the first time.
"As long as you don't directly interfere with the operation of the Starry Sky Gate, there will be no problem."
Yagnis nodded, opened the five fingers of her right hand, and bright red magic light slowly oozed from the palm of her hand.
But in the blink of an eye, the magical aura condensed into a weird physical key. The unusually wide key handle formed a complex pattern. If you look closely, it looks like a seven-pointed star made of human bones.
The head of the key is shaped like a crescent moon, and the crescent is covered with barbed thorns.
Judging from the appearance, it is not so much a key as it is a torture instrument used in some evil ritual.
"What's this?"
Yagnis handed the object made of blood to Lester with a solemn expression.
Lester took the ferocious-looking key. Even though it was just an object simulated by magic, Lester could still feel the threat and malice from the key itself, just like sharp things always make people feel uneasy, even if Just a few patterns or lines can sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
"This is Maisha's key. I have seen it with my own eyes. When Maisha dealt with the Ascended One, she held this key in her hand.
Maisha used this key and her astral magic to defeat every ascendant. Most of the ascendants died in Maiisha's hands. Only a handful of ascenders were so powerful that even Maisha It was difficult to kill, and in the end she used magic to forcibly seal the soul into the Ascended One's own weapon. "
A key with unknown power became the key for the Twilight Stars to deal with the darkspawn. This was the first time Lester heard about this. He holds most of the secrets of Runeterra, and these untouched secrets are absolutely It is extraordinary and critical information.
He had asked Zoe about the dark descendants before, but Zoe seemed to have no idea. After all, these things were done by Zoe's predecessor Maisha, so he did not go into details.
"I don't know anything more. At that time, everyone in the Ascension was in danger, and I couldn't take care of myself, so I left a loophole for Vladimir, the proton sent by the Kingdom of Kamavia. As expected, Vladimir was extremely talented. Choosing to find the right opportunity to 'devour' me with the blood secret method, I escaped Maisha's pursuit..."
From the words of Yagnis, a person who experienced it, Lester felt how much pressure the Darklings endured during Maisa's era.
Today in Runeterra, only Yagnis, a darkin who has been hiding for nearly three thousand years, is still alive and freely.
Not to mention those guys who have long died, the darkspawn locked in weapons like Aatrox, Laast and Varus are not much better off than Agnes, and eventually become prisoners, far worse than Agnes now.
Thinking about it this way, the Twilight Protoss is actually quite scary.
After putting away the key, Lester said.
"I will send someone to investigate the matter of the key held by the Twilight Protoss, maybe we can find something."
Agnes stepped forward and gently stroked Lester's cheek with her hand.
"It doesn't matter to me whether you found it or not, Lester. The most important thing to me now is you and your country.
I have witnessed the rise and fall of the Shurima Empire, and watched countless lives die in the disaster.
I used to think that I was used to the rise and fall of the country and the birth, aging, sickness and death. After meeting you, I realized that I was not used to looking at the world indifferently, but I never really cared about anything."
Agnis's little hand was warm and cold. Lester stared at Agnes's clear eyes without saying anything. He just gently covered Agnes's little hand and embraced it.
Agnis really stopped moving and looked at the man in front of him softly.
"The current Noxus Empire is far more powerful than the Shurima Empire at its most glorious time five thousand years ago, but the enemies it faces are equally formidable.
When I was still hiding in Vladimir's body, I thought that the Noxus Empire might become the next Shurima Empire, but the fact is that the Noxus Empire did not gradually decline like the Shurima Empire.
I can't understand why the empire can still stand firm in the face of so many disasters. Now you have brought me to witness this land that is far more beautiful than the Shurima continent. I think I finally know the reason."
"What do you think is the reason?"
Taking a deep breath, Agnes' eyes suddenly became a little bit colder, and her tone was full of confidence.
"Since you started to run the Emerald Territory, you have been preparing for this war of annihilation. You knew who your enemy was from the beginning. Your will was implemented from top to bottom from the capital to the border of the empire, and Azir couldn't even see through the rebellious heart of the person closest to you."
"Your sense is really sharp to the point of being scary."
Lester, who said scary, took Agnes' hand and brought the girl to the edge fence of the Starry Sky Gate.
Looking down from the fence, the people living in the streets and alleys were as small as ants.
Agnis stared at Lester's profile, but Lester was trying his best to see the faces under his feet clearly,
but he was standing too high, so high that even he couldn't see what the people under his feet looked like without using magic.
"I have imagined more than once that if I were an ordinary person, how wonderful it would be to find a secluded place in this beautiful world to spend my life with the one I love.
But the more I experience, the more I think. There are many coincidences in the world, but every minute of life becomes a coincidence. Can this still be considered a coincidence?
I will arrange people to secretly protect the girls I love from harm. Then, am I standing here with some special mission? Is there something I can't understand that guides me to stand here and wants me to do something?"
Meeting Lester's calm and calm eyes, Agnes showed a look of astonishment. She herself had never thought about these questions.
"Agnis, if there is something you must accomplish in this world, what do you think it is?"
Agnis frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said seriously.
"Before, I wasn't sure what I would think. Now, if I have something I must do, it must be to stand with you. Your enemy is my enemy. This time, I will not hide and escape."
A gentle smile appeared on Lester's face, and he gently squeezed Agnes's hand.
"So the meaning of human existence is not determined from the beginning. Many times you need to use time to interpret the puzzle left by fate. Until the moment when the final answer is revealed, you can understand why you came and why you left in this life."
"Then Lester, you said so much, but you still didn't tell me what you think. Do you want the Noxus Empire to defeat all enemies and rule the entire Runeland?"
"Maybe now is not the time to reveal the puzzle."
The man smiled mysteriously and made an invitation gentlemanly.
"Beautiful Miss Agnes, I think we have discussed enough heavy topics. Next, can I have the honor to invite you to go to all parts of the world from the Star Gate to enjoy the beautiful scenery?"
"I think it's my honor."
The woman also smiled lightly on her face and put her hand in the palm of the man's hand.
…
In the southern part of the Noxus Empire, there is a secret training camp belonging to the Rune Heavy Sword Combat Team.
An urgent military dispatch order was immediately handed to a girl with short white hair. Riven put down the heavy rune sword, wiped the sweat off her face with bright eyes, and looked towards the north where the Silver Mountains were located with expectation.
In the twin cities of Zaun, the magic sniper tactical team that was observing the battlefield in the lower city temporarily stopped the observation operation. Viole, who served as a hex weapon tester, returned to the non-combat sequence, but saw her own sister Jinx and good sister Caitlyn among them.
Looking at the special license ticket for the hex gate directly to Fidelet in their hands, the three girls were a little dazed.
In the Immortal Fortress, the training ground for supernatural magic, the girl with thunder and lightning all over her body suddenly stopped her flashing steps, but it was a knight girl wearing foldable metal heavy armor who brought the news of vacation.
Having doubts, she found the training supervisor to confirm the authenticity. Zeli cheered with joy, and her black-skinned curly-haired friend wearing metal heavy armor beside her was electrocuted and spit out black smoke.
In Piltover, Seraphine, who had just finished her last concert, was surrounded by cheers like a mountain torrent and a tsunami, but her heart was no longer as calm as when she was singing. She looked up to the north with a shy look on her face, as if she could see the big bad wolf on another continent grinning at her across the sea.
In the Navoli Province of Ionia, the succession meeting of the suzerain ended perfectly. Under the admiring gaze of thousands of disciples, Akali bid farewell to her envious mother and bitter father, and went to the Hextech Flygate airship tower in Presidium.
Everyone's destination was the same place, that is, the magic theater in Fidelet.
At the same time,
in the magic prison on the lower level of the Immortal Fortress, Lorena stood aside cautiously, carefully looking up at the woman in a black gauze dress, with a beautiful figure but very cruel means.
In the corner of her eyes, the Lord of the Blood Dynasty, the former master of Darkwell County, who was tied to the execution rack, was hanging on the wooden rack like a skinned dead dog, unable to utter a word.
Even though he had suffered mental and physical torture, the man on the execution rack remained in the same "healthy" state as before, without any sign of torture.
Just as Lorena was observing the woman in the black dress calmly, the woman in the black dress turned around and showed Lorena a stunning smile.
In Lorena's eyes, this beautiful smile was like a black rose covered with thorns and very deadly.
"Lorena, how do you feel after living in the Immortal Fortress for a while?"
Hurrying down, Lorena trembled.
"My Lord, being able to live in the Immortal Fortress is the happiest thing in Lorena's life, and it is also the thing she dare not ask for the most."
