Chapter 1101 Chapter1099
A weirdo wearing strange clothes and holding a suona? This description seems to be that of an old friend.
Lester took the crystal and checked it with his mental power, his face suddenly became solemn.
Although he had been mentally prepared, the Imperial Navy lost more than 20,000 people in the first frontal battle. Such casualties far exceeded his psychological expectations.
Not counting the pirate forces of Bilgewater and the sea monster army of the Baru people, and only counting the vastaya navy and reserve navy, the empire can only collect 150,000 professionally trained sailors at its fullest.
This battle has resulted in the loss of nearly one-sixth of the active navy soldiers. If not for a few more attacks, the empire will have to give up the three oceans and shrink the land for defense. By then, island forces like the Anaconda Islands are likely to be defeated by the Underworld Legion. Kill them all.
The mental power extends downward to continue reading for more information. The crystal records in detail the judgments and various orders made by Imperial Navy Admiral Buckton Cecilia on the battlefield situation. In some places, the information available for crystal users is also marked. Watching audio and video images, these audio and video images can allow users to more accurately and clearly extract the less obvious but very important parts of the language information.
In general, Admiral Buckton did not make any principled mistakes in the process of commanding the fleet, so it can be ruled out that the loss of troops was caused by improper command, that is, the enemy did dispatch very lethal troops. , gave the Imperial Navy a hard blow.
But what kind of army can't even compete with the Dragon Bird Paladin who has been chosen from thousands of people?
Leicester has personally tested the strength of the Dragon Bird Paladins. When fully armed, a hundred Dragon Bird Paladins have a chance to turn the weak Anivia into an egg again, and then shake the yolks away to form an egg. The large-scale Dragon Bird Paladin definitely has the ability to compete with demigods.
After all, Anivia is also a natural elf with the ice element as a god. With such strength, it has surpassed any army in Rune Land, not to mention that the Dragon Bird Paladin has deliberately strengthened its war advantage against the underworld.
The Dragon Bird Paladin's armor and equipment are all added with holy stones and purification magic, and the war spear is even added with very expensive Demacia holy silver, in order to restrain the demons and monsters in the underworld.
Can you still lose like this?
After regaining his composure, Lester continued to read, and soon found the information about the 'Black Armored Knight' and 'Suona Monster' mentioned by Sheena.
The Suona weirdo who helped the imperial fleet use magic to capture a black-armored knight was not beyond his guess. This person was the mentor of the Voice of the Universe, the King of Rags in Summoner's Rift, and a follower of countless wood spirits—Spicy No one knows what he is talking about, but when asked, everything he says is right.
Lester can’t say much about Bard’s official appearance in Runeterra just now, picking up rags. It can only be said that it’s the current Runeterra because he, a butterfly, has become something that even grandma doesn’t recognize.
In short, Bard is on the side of mankind, which is enough for him. He can try to communicate and cooperate with them to maintain the harmony of Runeterra.
As for the Black Armor Shock Knight, it's worth taking a closer look at what it is.
Lester looked at the audio and video screen intently, and a scene taken from the battlefield appeared in front of him.
The heavy plate armor of the Dark Ages is similar in style to Mordekaiser's armor, the heavy metal knight gun is so exaggerated that it can attack the city gate alone, and the skeletal pegasus under the crotch has obvious dragon characteristics, and seems to be some kind of fusion of dragon blood. artificial creatures,
From the appearance point of view, the black-armored shock knight is definitely the same powerful thing as Mordekaiser. It implements the rough art style of Ouchen's big black guy, which is "silly, stupid, rough and durable". It is said that it is Morde. Even Caesar's own son Leicester believed that he was carved from the same mold.
In addition to the photo of the black-armored shock knight taken on the battlefield, there is also a second audio-visual scene, but it is the unlucky guy who was turned into an Oscar statuette by Bard. Below the audio-visual mark is attached the investigation report of the captives by the Holy Light Archmage Rubio. .
"According to investigation and research, the black-armored shock knight has no entity. It is just a set of movable plate armor, with the ghosts of the underworld who control the plate armor attached to it. Its weapon, the heavy knight gun, is most likely to have an instant death curse, which can damage living creatures. The soul causes irresistible fatal damage. Currently, we can only try to use time stasis magic to seal a single target... Haha, it’s been a long time since I saw an enemy with real damage.”
Lester put down the crystal, his face as cold as frost.
Xina sat up from Lester's arms, her serious face no longer showing any hint of flirtation.
"It seems you know something?"
Lester nodded and whispered.
"If I remember correctly, the mask spirit [Ethereal Evil Owl] under the Mother of Masks has the same ability. If my soul didn't belong to Runeterra at all, I would have died in the hands of Ethereal Evil Owl. ”
After a pause, Lester continued.
"The attack of the Void Spirit Evil Lord can directly act on the soul regardless of any defense. Simply put, it is to forcefully separate the soul from the body and transfer it to the River Styx. This comes from the authority of the Mother of Masks and symbolizes life and death. The authority of reincarnation,
It can be said that as long as it is a native resident of Runeterra, ranging from an ant to a giant dragon, even Kindred and Frog Spirit, who are both mask spirits, and even the Mother of Masks themselves, as long as the Void Spirit Evil Owl is willing, any life can I have to go for a walk in the River Styx. It's not certain whether I can come out by then.
Mordekaiser's underworld cavalry probably cracked the secret of the River Styx from the Mother of Masks or the Void Evil Owl, and attached a layer of curse to the impact lance that caused specific damage to the soul. Or perhaps, these living iron cans like Mordekaiser themselves have the ability to cause real damage. "
After hearing what Lester said, Xina's face also became very ugly.
"Ignoring any defense and sending the soul directly to the River Styx, doesn't this mean that no one is the opponent of this cavalry?"
Lester frowned, his eyes looking thoughtful.
"It can be said that unless we can find a way to seal the other party without touching it, use time magic to forcibly imprison the enemy like the star wandering god Bard, or arrive at the River Styx as soon as possible and put the mask in the hands of the underworld army. Rescue the Mother and take back the River Styx."
"Bard, the wandering god of the astral world? Sure enough, the three-hole masked monster who wandered into the battlefield is also an alien god from the astral world?"
"Yes, strictly speaking, Bard does not completely belong to the star realm. He is considered an outsider in the star realm.
That guy is peaceful by nature, and his only persistent thing is to find and maintain the sound of harmony in the universe. The reason why he appears on the battlefield is to let the wood spirits around him collect those sounds of harmony, which is beneficial to world peace.
Bard will not cause harm to the empire. You can try to win over him. Even if you can't win over him, you must show goodwill and don't prevent the other party from collecting those shining golden things. "
"It seems we have to prepare early, so I won't bother you here."
Xina nodded, stood up rather reluctantly, and glanced at Lester.
"I just hope our mage can find a suitable sealing method. As for the Star World Traveling God, no one knows when he will appear next. If there is any key information, I will come here to find you again. of."
When Sheena left, a handsome green-haired elf appeared on Lester's shoulder. Who else could it be if it wasn't Elena?
"Teacher, you seem to have other ideas about these black-armored knights?"
Lester sighed.
"I have always felt that only an outsider like me whose soul does not belong to Runeterra can ignore the Styx Laws of Runeterra.
But I just thought about it, is it possible that even souls born in Runeterra can obtain the same immunity as long as they can escape the shackles of the Styx? In this way, you won't have any chance of fighting back when you encounter an enemy. "
The green-haired elf showed a shocked expression.
"Could it be that you are referring to those reincarnated people who bear the mark of Qian Jue?"
"Of course, for now, it's just speculation. The situation is not bad enough to require Lux and the others to rush to the battlefield... Elena, we have to speed up a little bit."
Without much time for chatting, Lester once again settled down cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the spiritual world.
Different from the past, since Lester reverse-engineered the black runes according to the method inspired by Naga Kapoulos, the rune altar created by Elena has emerged from the sea of spirits.
Now Elena no longer needs to rely on the depth and pressure of the spiritual sea to help Lester balance the power of runes in his body. Exposing the rune altar to the surface of the spiritual sea will help Lester absorb and control it. World runes.
Returning to the spiritual world, the spiritual body that is exactly the same as the original body floats across the ocean like a ghost and flies towards the rune altar. Looking from a distance, five different colors of light burst out from the rune altar and blend together. Finally, seven colors of rays of light intertwined on the sea surface, lighting up the dark starry night of the inner world.
When Lester's spiritual body stayed next to the rune altar, Elena, who was surrounded by green light, condensed her body from the sky above the altar. For a moment, the rune altar was filled with green light, and the light of the life rune overwhelmed it. The other rune colors have the meaning of "dictating the universe".
The five rune slots with different shapes on the rune altar are inlaid with five world runes. From high to low, they are red runes of the dominance system, gold runes of the precision system, purple runes of the arcane system, and blue runes of the enlightenment system. As the cornerstone of the rune altar, it is the green rune of life that is the largest in size and has the most unshakable status.
The collection and control of the life runes fused with Elena have reached a completeness of more than 98%, making them the well-deserved cornerstone of the runes.
The life-system runes gave Lester an almost infinite lifespan and immeasurable growth ability, which was the core of Lester's growth to this day.
Ranked second in terms of collection and control are the arcane runes. The arcane runes give Lester unparalleled arcane talent and destructive spell power. Lester himself has great He has a talent for magic and likes to delve into magic and runes, so the control speed of arcane runes is slightly faster than that of other three series runes.
Ranked third are the domination runes. The domination runes can directly affect the interaction of soul energy in the material realm and the spiritual realm. They can forcibly intercept and plunder soul energy from other places for their own use in a very domineering way.
Leicester, who possesses the domination rune, can never be killed by the "Human Sea Tactics". As long as the environment he is in still has the possibility of "energy interaction", no matter it is a person or anything, it will be used by him. It is said that the domination runes are the most aggressive and destructive world runes among the five series of runes.
The control level of precision runes ranks fourth. Precision runes give Lester the ability to analyze, calculate and control. It is not as simple as "increasing attack speed" or "adding damage" in the game. Precision runes affect people's cognition, understanding and utilization of the laws of the world. It can be abstractly understood as mathematical talent. Having or not having it is completely different.
In the land of runes, people with the talent of "dual cultivation of magic and martial arts" are rare geniuses. If ordinary people do not have any adventures, they can only choose one path to go on in their lives. It is simply a fantasy to want to take another path of cultivation without side effects. The conflict of power attributes alone is enough to make a person "go crazy and explode and die".
Lester can master arcane magic, life spell power, rune power, Vastaya spiritual magic and many other unrelated powers without side effects. In addition to Elena's help in coordination, he is also greatly affected by precision runes. If there is no precision rune, Lester will never have such an ability that goes against the law of nature.
Finally, the Enlightenment Rune, which has the lowest control strength and is the most mysterious, is the most difficult bone to chew.
For other world runes, Lester still has a clue to find a practice method that matches the rune attributes, but he has no idea about the Enlightenment Rune, and it has not benefited him at all so far.
It's like guarding a mountain of gold but can't do anything.
The Enlightenment Rune gives him the feeling that there is a layer of window paper between him and it will break with a poke, but this layer of window paper is as hard as a locked cast steel door. Don't even think about opening this door without finding the key.
There is no time to fight the Enlightenment Rune to death. Lester can only leave the Enlightenment Rune at the end of the practice sequence, hoping that after controlling the other four runes, he can bring him the "Enlightenment Key" to open the door of the Enlightenment Rune.
He also has a vague feeling that the Enlightenment Rune may be related to the creation of "out of nothing". If this is true, when he understands the Enlightenment Rune, he will be no different from the Creator God.
His thoughts flashed through his mind. Watching Elena dissolve into the rune altar, Lester also jumped into the rune altar, as if falling into a bottomless stream of consciousness tunnel. Five doors of different colors appeared in front of him. Without any hesitation, Lester plunged into the visionary world of precision runes.
He didn't have much time left.
