Chapter 389 The Colossus of Justice Awakens

There are actually not many places to visit in Xiongdu, except for some commemorative statues and spectacular architectural wonders hundreds of meters high.

After all, this is the political and economic center of Demacia, the most prosperous area in the entire western part of Valoran, and where a considerable number of nobles have settled.

In the following time, Sona took Li Lin to visit the Lightbringer Hall of the Illuminator Church in the north of Xiongdu.

This was also her favorite place to come with Lestara and Kashina when she first arrived in the capital.

The Church of the Illuminator believes in the "Judge", the righteous angel Kyle, one of the Winged Protector Sisters.

But in fact, there are still sporadic records of Morgana in the church's great library, but they were sealed up under the order of a certain former king.

Demacia does not need a "fallen" guardian, only one righteous judge is enough.

The reason why King Jarvan III was able to determine Morgana's identity was because of the information found here.

Because the church was in the afternoon prayer time, Li Lin and Sona walked out of the side door without disturbing them.

They still have one last destination to visit, which is the Memorial Road outside the Xiongdu City Wall. A huge human statue stands at the central fork of the road.

Colossus of Justice - Galio.

Li Lin knew this war giant very well.

The ancestors of Demacia found the Forbidden Stone Forest and wanted to use it on the battlefield to resist the attacks of powerful mages.

The first generation head of the Dulang family accepted this important task and used the forbidden magic stone to design some kind of defense method for the army.

After two years, the majestic Colossus of Justice Galio was born.

In addition to the Winged Protector Sisters, Galio at that time was an important defensive force in Demacia to protect the country and resist foreign enemies.

Any magic will become weak in front of Galio. Demacia relies on it to frighten enemy countries and barbarians who dare to invade Demacia, and at the same time inspire the entire kingdom, especially after the disappearance of the winged protector. Hundreds of years.

Li Lin still remembered that Galio was originally just a giant unconscious statue.

But as countless arcane and elemental magics acted on his body, some unknown principle brought him back to life after absorbing magic all year round.

However, even so, Galio will fall into deep sleep again when he is not exposed to the huge magical power, so that although there are several records of Galio participating in the war in hundreds of years of history, the vast majority of Demacians still only treat him as As a legend.

After more than half an hour's journey, Li Lin and Sona, who left the Lightbringer Hall, finally arrived at the sparsely populated Battle Monument Road, far away from the bustling city.

Li Lin looked up and saw this towering giant statue standing on the pedestal. His eyes were lowered, as if he was watching every "little person" passing under his feet.

His entire body is made of silver-white forbidden magic stone, and his neck, chest, shoulders, back of hands, ribs and knees are decorated with copper-colored metal. His vertically upward bronze wings and crown-like headdress are made of of the same material.

According to Li Lin's visual inspection, Galio is about 60 to 80 meters tall, which is quite different from Malphite's size, but his huge pair of fists can still easily crush any house in Demacia.

With a solemn expression, Sona saluted Galio respectfully, then looked back at Li Lin who was also saluting, and couldn't help but smile.

"Gario can be said to be the faith of the Demacian army soldiers." She said in a message.

"He was born hundreds of years ago, dating back to the founding of Demacia. He is regarded by the military as a symbol of war. As long as magic is involved in the war, he will participate in the war together and can absorb all magic.

“Not only that, but every year during certain festivals, such as the Autumn Equinox, the Golden Spring Festival, etc., people come to Zhanbei Road to worship the giant statue and pay high respect to it.”

"I heard that Galio is actually conscious?" Li Lin asked deliberately.

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

Sona raised her head and glanced up at Galio, meeting those eyes that were almost as tall as her.

Suddenly, she noticed that the head of the giant statue seemed to move?

She quickly rubbed her eyes and found that its head had been lowered in the bright sunshine from beginning to end, with no trace of movement at all.

Is it my imagination?

Li Lin noticed Sona's dazed expression and strange behavior, and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay." She looked back and smiled, and then continued: "Gario is indeed recorded many times in history that he came back to life, especially the first time he went to the battlefield and fought against the enemy at Green Teeth Peak... But most people think it is a fairy tale compiled by soldiers to encourage each other."

Sona gently reached out and touched the side of Galio's huge right foot, "Besides, how could a stone statue carved from the Forbidden Demon Stone give birth to life?"

She also has reservations about the legend that Galio has a will of his own.

Then the lava giant Malphite has something to say...

Li Lin remained silent and thought for a moment, then said: "Is it possible that Galio must be in a place with abundant magic to wake up?"

"Eh?" Sona was confused and surprised by the theory he proposed, "Why do you think so?"

"Do you think that in Demacia's historical records, Galio was often dragged to the frontline battlefields by soldiers using bulls and chariots?"

Sona nodded blankly.

"But why did Galio only 'live' a few times in the records instead of every time?" Li Lin slowly guided her to think, "Moreover, think about it again, those records about Galio being able to be free What is the difference between wars of action and those in which freedom of action is not possible?”

Sona lowered her eyes, showing a thoughtful expression.

Soon, she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Li Lin again with wide eyes, "You mean...only by facing the mage can Galio survive?"

"That's it!"

Li Lin smiled and snapped his fingers.

"Every living thing needs energy to drive it. Even for us humans, the food we eat and the water we drink are necessary to maintain our physiological functions.

"For those non-living entities, such as my mechanical troops, they need some special energy cores to power them.

"So I think Galio should be like this too. It's precisely because he was specially created to deal with mages. On a battlefield full of magic, those magics become his source of energy, allowing him to act of his own will. .

"Without magic, he loses his source of power and falls into a deep sleep."

Sona had already figured it out, and the strange light in her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she even started to answer the question: "But in the capital of Demacia, surrounded by the Forbidden Magic Stone, even the magic particles in the air are extremely rare. Galio can't absorb energy, so it's impossible to move!"

She pursed her lips, pushed a strand of hair away from her face, and focused her gaze on Galio's face again, "Tell me, do we have a chance to re-energize him...will my magic be enough?"

Li Lin scratched his head, not wanting to hit Sona.

Judging from the panel information displayed by "digital thinking", Galio needs at least 3,000 mana points to "alive" again.

Sona, who does not use Juhua and does not practice much magic on weekdays, only has a pitiful mana value of more than a thousand points.

Even if he devoted all his magic power, he would not even be able to reach half of Galio's activated mana...

If you look at it this way, Lux, who can awaken Galio just by touching her, how terrifying will the magic power contained in her body be?

Li Lin thought for a moment and expressed her thoughts in a tactful way. It was not feasible: "If you want to be discovered by the magic searchers that you are a mage, you can give it a try."

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, and you could tell he was joking.

Sona looked back at him with a dissatisfied look, then quickly regained her composure, wrapped her clenched right hand with the palm of her left hand, and made a prayer gesture on her chest.

"It would be great if I could see Galio flying in space one day..."

Li Lin took two steps in her direction and gently put his hand on her shoulder, "What if I can do something about it?"

Sona exhaled a short breath of surprise from her Qiong nose. If she could make a sound, it would probably be a questioning nasal sound.

"Can you do it? Through magic?" A look of worry appeared on her face, "No, what if you are discovered by the Demon Searchers and deported?"

"Who said I was going to use magic?" Li Lin and Sona looked at each other blankly, without explaining much. She couldn't understand it anyway, "Just look at me."

He patted Sona on the shoulder twice more, then took two steps forward, and his whole body was instantly covered in black and blue steel.

Sona covered her mouth in silent surprise, and at the same time said via voice: "What... is this?!"

"Don't worry, this isn't magic, it's Piltover technology, the nanotechnology I told you about."

Li Lin unfolded his helmet and turned his head to give her a reassuring look.

After previous encounters, he discovered that the Forbidden Magic Stone did not simply absorb magic, but could absorb any energy as long as it did not exceed the upper limit of its storage.

If the principle of the forbidden magic stone is still the same, then Galio does not necessarily have to use magic to drive it, energy generated by physics must also be able to do it.

Of course, this is just his idea.

If it's really feasible, then a fusion engine-powered Galio might actually be achievable in the future.

Moreover, in fact, the nano energy core used in this generation of Nano Source Project Infinite Armor is made of primitive crystal, and the energy source is still magic.

Just to prevent Sona from worrying, he deliberately said that his skills were not magic.

Then, Li Lin put his hands on Galio's feet and controlled the core of the armor to overload, outputting most of the energy to his hands.

Immediately afterwards, blue-white energy continuously overflowed from his palm, and was quickly absorbed like a dry sea surface meeting water.

After just over ten seconds, the armor's energy percentage dropped to about 90%, and his "digital thinking" showed that Galio's mana had far exceeded 10,000.

At this moment, a sharp sound of rough teeth, like the sound of a clay pot rubbing on a cobblestone road, suddenly exploded in the ears of Li Lin and Sona.

Sona was surprised to find that the sound came from above their heads.

The moment she looked up, she was shocked to find that Galio's eyes had moved!

At the same time, a rich male voice followed closely: "Hey, two little guys, can you help me... uh, scratch my feet?"

I'm not in a good state at school. I've been a little stuck these past two days. I'll update it when I get home. .
