Chapter 956 [0947] Blueprint

After Azir and Kal'ya finished talking, Kal'ya left the city of Shurima without even intending to meet Nasus and Renekton.

When Nasus got the news, he found Azir and asked him what happened, but Azir answered the question incorrectly.

"Karya can always make people believe in his ideas and plans, right?"

"He is very good at persuading others." Although Nasus didn't know what they said, he couldn't help but smile. "This is indeed what he looks like - making plans and then showing you a wonderful plan." The prospect is such a grand picture that you can’t help but imagine how wonderful the future will be if everything can be realized.”

"I think few people can resist his temptation." Azir nodded, "Unless those who have a clear plan."

"Maybe this is his lobbying philosophy, right?" Nasus shrugged, "Don't convince those who already have clear ideas, and spend all your energy on those who are confused about the future."

"So, you are implying that the collapse of the empire was due to everyone having their own selfish motives?" Azir came back to his senses and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Is this a kind of confession?"

"No, it's just an objective summary." Nasus shook his head, "So, what exactly did he show you?"

"He sent me some old objects from the Empire era, and then told me a plan to pull both Ishtar and Icathia into Shurima's old car." Azir didn't hide it either, "The core is Create a consensus that only the entire Shurima can have an advantage in the competition in Runeterra."

"He is very confident?" Nasus couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. "I mean, he is very confident in Demacia? Doesn't the unified Shurima count as these two autonomous territories, so there is no competition? Is there any advantage?”

"To be honest, I thought so at first." Azir smiled bitterly, "But after he finished speaking, I didn't have much confidence anymore - especially after he showed me the rune stone."

"I've heard of that. It's a magical material with very good properties." Nasus didn't understand, "But what does that mean?"

"It means putting magic into production on a large scale just like the previous empire." Azir's tone was filled with emotion. "Although he didn't say many details, I can guarantee that before the Battle of Icathia, , he is already laying out the plans - many of the rune stones can even connect with the sun disk. "

"Replacing energy?" Nasus' eyes widened. "No, I heard that rune stones can store and transport energy, but it seems that their energy density is not high?"

"World Runes." Azir sighed, "Through the rune stones, the power of the World Runes can be easily used."

Nasus fell silent.

Obviously, this well-informed Grand Bachelor thought about a lot, including but not limited to the strange inventions he saw in Vazuan, many ancient underground water networks from the Empire era that are now abandoned, and so on.

He even thought about the past Rune Wars - that catastrophe made the continent of Valoran feel like it had been chewed by someone. Parts of it sank into the ground, and Kamavia's continental shelf also experienced obvious collapse. The earth's ocean currents have even changed as a result.

Compared to the Sun Disk, which has a fixed position and whose core technology is not in its own hands, if the power of the world runes can really be controlled and utilized, then based on this, an empire will be born that is more powerful and prosperous than the Shurima Empire. , and there is a lot of possibility.

"World runes are very dangerous, and power can distort the mind. He knows this better than anyone else." Nasus couldn't help but shake his head, "Does he already have a reliable way to deal with it?"

"He didn't say this clearly, but he said very firmly that he only needs to conduct some experiments to verify the dangerous problem of the world's runes." Azir was also a little confused when he said this, "Obviously When Xerath used the power of the World Rune, he was more nervous than anyone else. Why is his appearance completely different now?"

"So, he still hasn't revealed the key to the problem?"

"He said that the core of his trip was just to give a warning first." Azir's tone also sounded a bit helpless, "According to what he said, it is [I hope Shurima can be prepared and not be in the tentacles]" Panic in the face of an accessible future and missed opportunities].”

"It seems that we are being looked down upon." Nasus finally snorted, "Now, I think the center of all work should still be on unifying Shurima. As for the future that is within reach, we have to wait until it is truly When it’s within reach, go and be ready!”

"To be honest, I think so too." Azir nodded, "These are the cultural relics and instruments he brought. I know most of them, but there are many that I have never seen. You came at the right time..."

……………………

In New Shurima, Kalya did not lie.

He was really leaving things out for Shurima and opening up a corner of the future blueprint.

As for what Azir and Nasus were wondering about, regarding the use of world runes, Kalya was indeed aware of it.

Kalya made a special trip to Vazuan before and went to the place where the world rune recovery team hid the world runes.

The rune trees there grow extremely well, even a little too well.

This is consistent with the results of the Rune Tree Experimental Base in Lunwall. In addition, Vazuan has recently proved that "Hex crystals help rune trees grow". All signs show that rune trees can indeed steadily absorb the power of world runes and accelerate their own growth.

Admittedly, the rune stone made by the rune tree itself does not contain much energy. It is just an ideal energy storage equipment.

But similarly, the rune stone was used by the Demacians as a magic-forbidden stone in the past, and its energy absorption ability can also be seen!

With the unification of Demacia, the law-abiding people almost completely accepted the ancient knowledge from the Silent People. Among these knowledge, many mentioned the "magic-forbidden ability" of the magic-forbidden stone for the world rune. According to the records of the Silent People, as long as the rune stones are piled up enough, a stable seal can be achieved for the world rune. Even in the outermost layer, the Silent People can extract the magic power of the world rune to a limited extent.

Of course, this extraction itself is not absolutely safe. Many years ago, Grandma Ling almost lost control because of this and became a slave to the power of the world rune.

But extracting power directly doesn't work, so if we pry off the rune stones on the periphery and replace them with new ones, is it safe to use the energy in these rune stones?

The preliminary conclusion given by the Archon is... safe!

To this end, they carefully conducted a series of experiments, and the results of the experiments showed that these rune stones charged with energy by the world runes were no different from those charged by injecting magic power, and did not become interference items in more than 40 fields participating in the experiment.

These rune stones that were specially charged from the outer periphery of the seal where Ryze sealed the world rune in the Rune Tree Planting Base of Renwall not only had no problems in use, but even Ryze did not find any special energy fluctuations belonging to the world rune - the experiment has been going on for three years, and he has not come to the door yet!

If it weren't for Lux leading the expedition to Freljord, I'm afraid Demacia would have begun to try to recruit secret volunteers and began to test the effects of non-casters on the use of these specially charged rune stones.

Although he had a hunch in his heart, when he received this news, Kalya was still quite excited.

If using world runes to charge rune stones is proven to be safe and reliable, and if the standard teaching of magic circuits is fully promoted, it won't be long before everyone in Demacia can be considered a wizard in a broad sense - using rune stones and magic circuits to achieve magic effects, why not wizards?

This will be a further promotion of magic than the Sun Disc of the Shurima Empire and the Elemental Gradient Boundary of Ixtal. Once realized, magic in Runeland will change from a patent of a few people to a benefit that everyone can enjoy.

That is the future that Karya is talking about!

It is also the future that Karya has been looking forward to!

At the beginning, Karya, who had no magical talent and could not even sense magic, wanted to become a spellcaster. The only way was to be taken by Setaka to climb the Giant God Peak, bathe in the glory of the heavens, and then strengthen his talent through the ascension ceremony, which is how Karya is today.

Although this does make the great power belong to oneself, looking at the entire Runeland, how many people can have the opportunity and chance of Karya?

It is precisely because of the rarity of spellcasting talent that in the long history of Runeland, most of the time, spellcasters are noble rulers - compared to using magical power for production and construction, it is more cost-effective to use it for ruling.

Only the Shurima Empire, the Kingdom of Ixtar and Demacia are exceptions.

The Shurima Empire is because of the existence of the sun disk, so magic is not valuable; Ixtar has an element gradient barrier, so elemental magic is easier to achieve; Demacia is because mages were discriminated against in the past, and the newly born spellcasters can put their attitude very low.

In addition to these short-lived glories, most of the time, magic exists as a tool for internal fighting between people - using it to produce and build, how can it be easier to use it to threaten people who can't use magic to produce and build?

If you want to strip magic of this layer of ruling tool identity, the best way is to make it truly universal and make magic a tool that everyone can use. Although that does not mean that magic is no longer a tool for exploitation and oppression, at least it allows everyone to enjoy the benefits of magic, which is enough.

……………………

After leaving Shurima, Karya did not return directly, but went to Ixtal again.

Mainly, he wanted to continue to study the original axioms that cooperate with the elemental gradient barrier. There are still many things that can be learned from the way that Nezuk used the original axioms to promote elemental magic.

However, what surprised Karya was that the new queen of Ixtal, Miss Qiyana, seemed to be more restless than he imagined.

Originally, Karya thought that after she became the queen, she would at least ensure absolute internal stability before starting reforms and trying to move the focus of the kingdom outward.

But what he never expected was that she had been in power for less than five years and had already contacted Vazuan.

Although Vaz'an was once part of the Shurima Empire, and in theory it could be slightly related to Ixtal, as an extremely conservative country, Qiyana would probably face a lot of pressure even if she established simple diplomatic relations with Vaz'an - even if she had many new forces supporting her, this step would be extremely difficult.

When Kal'ya arrived at Ix'okon, a delegation of Hextech from Vaz'an was visiting, led by Kal'ya's old acquaintance, Jayce.

Curious about this, Kal'ya mixed in the crowd and saw the exchange of gifts between the two representatives. Jayce gave Elder Yuntal a special conversion valve that could achieve elemental conversion; and Elder Yuntal's return gift was a sparkling elemental core.

The former is one of the original axioms, and the latter is exactly the same shape and specifications as Hextech crystals, and the meaning of the competition is quite obvious.

This made Kalja a little interested in the subsequent exchanges between the two sides, but he did not try to sneak into the dinner to inquire, but suppressed his curiosity and put all his energy into studying the original axiom promotion method of the Ixtal people. After more than half a month, he returned with satisfaction.

Then, when Kalja stopped in Vazun and took a look at the growth of the rune tree in the rune land of the sealed world, the headlines of almost all newspapers in Vazun published articles such as "The delegation returned smoothly, and the rainforest is no longer mysterious". It seems that they attach great importance to the relationship with the Ixtal people.

Kalja read a lot of newspapers, and then keenly discovered that a very important factor that seemed to promote this connection was the construction of the new Shurima city and the rise of Azir.

As an undisputed part of the Shurima Empire, Vazun had an undisguised wariness against the new Shurima. Although they were happy to use the name of Shurima, they did not want Shurima to really revive-unless the Shurima Empire was revived with Vazun as the core.

In the past, many people in Vaz'uan still had this expectation. After all, other city-states were in ruins, but they still had the Prince's Feather. Once Hextech was widely used and formed a standard, a new Shurima might be born with Vaz'uan as the core.

But after the rise of Azir, the people of Vaz'uan soon found that they seemed to be unable to compete with Azir and the new Shurima for the title of Shurima.

In this case, Vaz'uan had to give up the title of Shurima and draw a clear line with Shurima.

And maintaining diplomatic relations with Ixtal was a precautionary measure based on this idea. (End of this chapter)
