Chapter 438 [0435] Magic Nobles
Facing Ryze's meaningful gaze, Ino blinked, his expression a little confused.
Why are you looking at me?
Look at the world rune in your hand!
"Miss Ino." Although he was not sure about Ino's attitude, Ryze still planned to give it a try, "The frequent appearance of the world rune, I hope to have a reliable disciple to learn magic from me, and help me end my madness when I get lost one day."
Ino was a little confused.
"Are you talking about me?" She stretched out her finger and pointed at her face, "I have a teacher!"
"I know, you said it before." Ryze's tone was a little helpless, "But for the safety of Runeland-"
The rune guardian prepared some words, but looking at Ino, he finally closed his mouth.
Although this little girl is not very old, she is already a veteran of the Silent People. She may still have a high status in Demacia. It is impossible for her to abandon everything and follow him to travel hard and sleep in the wind and rain throughout the Runeland to find dangerous world runes.
Realizing this, Ryze's face inevitably showed a trace of bitterness.
In fact, when Ryze accepted Brand as his apprentice, in addition to the fact that the other party had good magic talent and might inherit his mantle, a very important point was that Brand had no worries.
Ryze, who had been running for a thousand years for the World Rune, knew very well that guarding the World Rune was destined to be a lonely road. As long as you make a choice, you are destined to always walk on the road.
In the wind and rain, never stop.
Moreover, once someone is contaminated with the power of the World Rune and is unwilling to let go, even if it is a friend, Ryze cannot show mercy - this kind of thing is too cruel for a person with worries. In Ryze's view, only those who have no worries can keep up with his pace.
Obviously, Ino is not.
For a long while, Ryze could only shake his head and barely squeeze out a bitter smile.
"Okay, you can leave now." The Rune Guardian did not continue on this topic, but slapped his hand on the ground again, "Miss Ino, see you next time!"
The next moment, the azure arcane light lit up, and Ryze's figure connected to the world rune gradually turned into a shadow and disappeared in the secret room. Only Ino, who didn't know what was going on, was left, looking at the place where the arcane light dimmed in confusion.
After a long time, she shook her head helplessly, made an ice ball, attached the glittering starlight to it, and carried it back the same way.
……………………
When Ino walked out of the secret room, the elders of the Silent Man quickly surrounded her.
"What happened in there?"
"What happened to the Lord Guardian?"
"Why can't I feel the power of the elders?"
"It's terrible, is there an accident?"
"..."
"..."
Although these Silent Man elders are usually very calm, they are still somewhat panicked after losing the blessing of the world rune's echo power.
Without walking on the edge of life and death like Grandma Ling, it is difficult for ordinary people to be open-minded about the gains and losses of power.
"Things are complicated." In desperation, Ino could only bite the bullet and give a vague answer, "The world rune in the secret room has a tendency to get out of control. For safety reasons, the guardian needs to transfer it to another place for multiple seals..."
Ino's explanation surprised the elders of the Silent People. Then, a few guys with more impatient tempers couldn't help but raise their voices and questioned what Ino said.
These people who lost their power rushed forward, and they seemed to be determined not to give up until Ino made everything clear.
Seeing this scene, Ino couldn't help but frowned slightly.
These Silent Elders were so excited. Was it directed at him, or because they lost the power of the world rune?
If it was just the former, the problem would not be difficult to solve; but if it was the latter, then I'm afraid the Silent People would need to spend some time to clean it up.
Now Ino knows how dangerous it is to be addicted to the power of the world rune!
If these Silent Elders are like Grandma Ling, and their current excitement is a withdrawal reaction, then things will be troublesome!
Just as Ino's expression gradually became dangerous, Grandma Ling, who had been silent before, finally stood up.
"What are you yelling about?" Although the old lady has no magic power, she still has some power for the Silent People. She silenced the noisy crowd with a voice, "Why, without the power of the elders, you can't survive? I don't even have magic power, don't I still have to be busy every day?"
For many years, Grandma Ling, who has been the elder of the Silent People, has always been able to calm the situation. When she spoke like this, the situation was finally under control.
"Everyone knows what is stored in the secret treasure." The old lady continued, "And what the organization has experienced, those who can become elders should also know - we are the guardians of Demacia. Without this power, do we have to give up fulfilling our obligations?"
Many elders looked at each other, and most of them were speechless.
After all, the World Rune has been transferred away by Ryze. Even if there really is someone who was tempted by the power of the World Rune like Grandma Ling before, he should have gradually come to his senses by now.
"It's not that we can't accept losing the power of the elders." Someone stood up and explained, "It's just that we have to make things clear - I don't know where the guardian has gone. Miss Ino is the only one talking about the world talisman with white teeth. The text was transferred away..."
"What, you don't believe it?" Grandma Ling narrowed her eyes and her expression became quite dangerous, "Permes, you snow bunny bastard! Are you qualified to question Miss Ino's words?"
"Me!" The middle-aged male mage named Permes turned red instantly, "Grandma Ling, don't be so rude -"
"Am I rude? You are rude!" Grandma Ling's gray-white eyebrows were completely raised, and her speech speed was obviously faster, "When I promoted you to be a senator in an unusual way, but when you accepted the power of the senator, you turned out to be a snow bunny. I almost couldn’t resist the temptation of power and crashed into the door of the secret room!”
Such an act of rehashing old scores made Permes' entire face turn the color of pig's liver in an instant. However, what Grandma Ling said was true. Not all Silent people can withstand the temptation of the power of the world's runes after becoming elders.
"If I hadn't helped you, you would have been doomed long ago!" Grandma Ling's mouth was like a machine gun, and she spoke faster and faster, "With your little magic control, you still want to see the world's runes with your own eyes? Are you afraid of it? Just take a look and smash your head against the wall again. I don’t have any magic power this time, so I can’t save you!”
Permes wanted to say that he was no longer what he used to be, but in the face of everyone's subtle looks, he could only grit his teeth and turn his back.
Ino's face was expressionless, but secretly laughing in his heart - this method of exposing dark history is indeed a tried and tested method for veterans.
No wonder Teacher Kalya always likes tugging little pigtails!
Well, I must be careful in my words and deeds in the future!
"I was so tempted by power that I almost couldn't hold it back. If it weren't for Miss Ino's help, I would have become a slave to power." Seeing the other party shut up, Grandma Ling finally gave up on this snow bunny, "Every one of you Are you still excited about this group of people? Why, do you really want to take a look at the world runes and then all become slaves of the world runes and be eliminated one by one by the guardian? "
When it came to being "cleaned up one by one by the guardians", everyone finally calmed down completely, fell silent one by one, and finally didn't say a word.
"Change has come. At this time, it is a good thing to set off lightly without the world runes, but you are acting like this one by one. Have you really forgotten the mission of the Silent People?" The old lady was still reluctant, "The Silent People Our mission is to use magic to protect Demacia, not to pursue powerful magic!”
"..."
"Okay, don't hang around here and pretend to be snow chickens." The old lady waved her hand, "Anyway, there are no world runes under the Xiongdu underground, and the Forbidden Demon Prison is free. After that, let's pack our bags together and follow Count Laxana, forget about going to the north!"
Hearing what Grandma Ling said, many silent people spoke up again. Without exception, they said, "Those who have a family and a business should not go to Northern Xinjiang again." A vicious incident like a murder case" and so on.
Looking at the performance of these silent people elders, and thinking of her previous experience of almost becoming a slave of power, Grandma Ling did not force her in the end. She just said that she wanted to go to Northern Xinjiang, not only to use her remaining energy, but also to return to her roots. If anyone is interested, , or with yourself.
However, no one spoke, and no one wanted to leave with Grandma Ling.
In silence, Ino once again had a new understanding of "starting from scratch" that Kalya said.
When it comes to the overall quality of mages, the Silent People—especially the Silent People elders—are nowhere near as high as the demon-infected ones in the Forbidden Demon Prison.
But for Ino, she would rather have dissatisfied demon-possessed people than accept these silent people with their own thoughts.
They have become accustomed to their current life, accustomed to a life where they can legally use magic but others cannot. In a sense, although these people are also mages, they are the same privileges of Demacia as the nobles of the Noble Council. who.
Thinking of his visits to the Forbidden Demon Prison and his interactions with many demon-contaminated people in the past few days, Ino finally had a clearer understanding of Demacia's magic and the demon-contaminated people.
In this magic-forbidden country, all mages who can use magic are privileged, without exception.
After thinking about this clearly, Ino's eyes when looking at the many silent people elders became as peaceful as when Lux looked at the noble council. For her, the only thing worth caring about among the silent people was the ones left. Their history and magic are passed down.
A little disappointed, Grandma Ling turned and left the door of the secret room.
Ino also smiled and left with her.
In front of the empty secret room door, there were only a few silent elders left. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all silent.
Kalya’s Little Classroom·The Obligations of the Silent:
As mages who can legally use magic in Demacia, the Silent People bear the obligation to use magic to defend Demacia - and when the forbidden magic prison is emptied and the demon-infected people are sent to the north, they should go north with these people. .
Unfortunately, after all, it was the prosperity of the capital that made people confused. Although the Silent Organization was willing to support Lux's attempt to normalize magic, the Silent People were not willing to start from scratch in that ungrateful place.
