Chapter 216 The Pursuit of Magic Never Stops

Floating castle, laboratory.

A fluorescent blue light flashed, and Ai Li's soft little body emerged from the gap in space.

"Gu!"

Aili ran to the experimental table and shouted excitedly. After swallowing another small dark magic ball, he slowly opened his mouth and spit out a small scarecrow on the experimental table.

Before the scarecrow could make any move, a group of black magic formed a bowl cover, wrapped around the scarecrow, like a small mountain, completely sealing it.

Sindra stood beside the experimental table. She was wearing a black robe and let her silver hair fall like a waterfall. Her black eyes turned and looked at the scarecrow with interest.

She said, "As you expected, Ryze doesn't have the courage to take action."

The laboratory was empty, but a steady voice emerged in Syndra's mind:

"In Ryze's eyes, runes are the most dangerous things. Whenever there is a disturbance in a certain area, the first thing he does is to guard the world runes. Unless it is related to the runes, he will not take action anyway."

Everyone has a different definition of disaster.

For Ryan, anything that endangers the empire or affects the development of magic is considered a disaster and needs to be cleaned up and eradicated.

But for Ryze, Ryan never denied that he was a great guardian, practicing his own way to prevent the world runes from threatening the entire rune land.

How much ability and vision you have, how much responsibility you bear.

Things in the world should be like this.

But it's a pity that in order to deal with some troubles in the future, they must get the world runes.

They are not right or wrong with Ryze, but they have different positions.

"Fear the demon, Fiddlesticks. The energy of the demon is different from magic. Its power is more like the world rune." Sindra looked at her "experiment" with a focused look.

A dark magic ball was wrapping Fiddlesticks. This was her research method of violently cracking it with dark magic.

Everything would become secretless under her magic, just like a newborn baby, everything was naked and honest.

"The essence of the demons in Runeland is a new law formed by the negative energy of living things." Ryan agreed with Sindra's statement, "If the world rune is an innate law, then the authority represented by the demon is an acquired law."

The world rune appeared when the world was first created, but the demon began to breed with the birth of living things.

Ryan continued: "Like 'Nightmare', it can only be regarded as a young demon. The birth of each demon can be traced, either the play of the Protoss, or the greed and evil thoughts of humans."

"From this point of view, Swain's power is borrowed." Sindra said without any emotional changes.

Generally speaking, demons devour humans to increase their strength.

So far, there has only been one special case.

Noxian Grand Commander - Swain.

Swain devoured a demon and used all of the other's power for his own use. This is news known to all Noxians.

"The commander's situation is different." Ryan paused, "Once the demon wanted to devour him to get himself out of trouble. But human will can sometimes create miracles. In the end, it was the demon that lost, and even in the future, consciousness may disappear."

In his opinion, Swain's situation is no different from that of Atreus, a mortal chosen by the "War" Protoss.

Atreus is not the only one in Runeland who has an outstanding will. Swain is not only absolutely rational in character, but also has a strong will to dedicate everything to the empire.

That will is even stronger than Ryan himself.

Humans, a race that is always good at creating miracles.

"It seems that as long as the will is strong enough, you can control the power of the devil in turn. Not only the devil, but also the void."

Sindra sat on the chair next to her, her black eyes seemed to be flashing with some light, her eyes swept across Fiddlesticks in front of her and the void creature on the experimental table not far away.

"Do you want to merge?" Ryan asked.

Although it was a question, there was no rejection in his tone.

"The road of magic is long and unknown, and it requires countless attempts. The improvement of rune magic lies in accumulation, and it is born to be tied to the empire." Sindra's tone was gentle, but with a firm power.

The foundation of rune magic relies on ordinary runes.

And the source of all ordinary runes, except for their laborious deduction one by one, can only come from the gift of the world, just like Orianna at that time.

In this case, it is undoubtedly difficult to control more runes related to the magic you practice.

And after Ryan controlled the world rune, it almost confirmed the level of top combat power in Runeland.

Their full-strength attack is almost equivalent to the combined attack of 512 runes, which is the power of ninth-level rune magic.

As Noxus continues to grow stronger, Sindra and Ryan know that it will take at most a hundred years for rune magic to reach this size.

This time is not long for them.

But it is obvious that Sindra does not want to wait.

Compared with Ryan, who is already transforming, she also needs to improve her strength.

The simple accumulation of magic power can only make the area of ​​destruction larger at most.

Magic is essentially a lower level of law. If you want to hurt a true demigod who is the embodiment of law, you need a more powerful magic source, or let magic transform into law.

"There are currently three feasible methods."

Ryan gave his own suggestions:

"The first is based on the world rune. Our body cannot bear all the world runes, but at the same time, we can integrate the power of demons or stars to allow our bodies to bear the world runes."

"The second is based on the power of demons, using will to forcibly interfere with the authority of demons, trying to replace it, and then using the power of the void to devour the original demon, so that you can naturally become the controller of authority. Or."

"Directly fight with the demon at the level of will and soul. If you win, you will gain all the authority of the demon. Failure will not affect me. I can protect your soul."

"The third is to integrate the four powers of stars, demons, voids, and world runes in the body to achieve a balance in the body. Use the body as a tool and magic as a medium to gather the power of law."

Compared with the three ways to achieve stability he proposed before, Sindra is more suitable for the four forces to form a cycle. The power of the void is more suitable for Sindra, and can be used as a derivative of the devouring power.

Ryan described his views in detail. As soon as he finished speaking, Sindra's face was already smiling, and she answered without hesitation:

"I am more interested in the third one."

This road is undoubtedly the most dangerous road, but it is obviously also the road that can go the farthest.

Since she chose magic, how can Sindra feel at ease if she doesn't go to see the prosperity of the top of the world.

The first and second methods mentioned by Ryan are undoubtedly more stable and safer, and there is almost a 100% certainty that they can be comparable to the Protoss or the Ascended God.

But her goal has never been those people.

Sindra raised her chin slightly, and her pair of calm black eyes seemed to have passed through half of the continent and fell on a figure still walking on the Shurima continent.

"Okay!"

A positive voice sounded in her ears.

Ryan did not discuss any details with her. The knowledge they had was completely shared. What he could think of, she could also think of quickly.

There were only two different sources of power left before the next step, and he would do his best to plan.

At the same time, Sindra stood up from her chair and looked at the two experimental tables in front of her. Her eyebrows moved slightly, and her expression was as firm as ever.

She opened her hands, and two dark magic balls flew out of her palms. The magic balls disappeared in a flash. One sank into Fiddlesticks' body, and the other was suspended above the void creature, allowing it to devour magic power.

The black magic slowly entered the body of the void creature, and it gradually began to move, changing from the previous dead air to become energetic, but at the same time, it was also undergoing some strange changes.

Ryan, who was still walking towards Demacia in Shurima, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

"World Rune. And a power at the same level as the Protoss?"

The World Rune is not far from their plan.

And another power equivalent to the Protoss, the power of the Justice Protoss is an alternative, but because it has a low affinity with Sindra and Ryan does not want to involve the Protoss now, it is not a good choice.

In addition, he has a better idea and choice.

To maintain the balance of the four top powers, one must have absolute will.

Sindra has no lack of this.

But he has always known that Sindra's heart still has a flaw.

And that flaw comes from Ionia.

In order to eliminate this flaw, a certain existence in Ionia is a better choice.

It has the same source as Sindra's power and can make up for the last flaw in her heart.

But just like dealing with the Protoss, if you want to completely get that power, you need to cut off its energy supply from the source.

Either let it give up voluntarily like "war", which is almost impossible to do.

Or

Plan external forces to forcibly cut off the connection between the two.

For the latter, perhaps the upcoming disaster can help him realize this plan.

The capital, the magnificent square.

"If the Immortal Fortress is a representative of solemnity and solemnity, then the capital of Demacia is the embodiment of grandeur and magnificence."

Riding in a carriage to the Castle of Dawn, Seraphine looked forward through the window with a smile.

In the carriage, she and Laxana sat opposite each other, and the latter smiled friendly and spared no effort to introduce the scenery of the male capital.

By the way, Seraphine originally wanted to step on the stage and fly low with the carriage as usual, but it was obvious that such behavior was not in line with the etiquette and status of the nobles.

More importantly, as a representative of the exchange group sent by Noxus, Seraphine had to sit with the other representative Laxana to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries.

So Seraphine stepped on her small stage and boarded the carriage together.

After everyone worked together to solve the fear demon, Seraphine patiently waited for Laxana to complete the local appeasement work, and then went to the male capital together.

This time when she went to the Dawn Fortress to meet the Demacia high-level, Seraphine only brought Zhao Xin with her.

The remaining little mages were taken over by Poppy on her own initiative.

Having finally returned to her familiar place, Bobby was so excited that she was eager to show her new friends the charm of Xiongdu.

Laxana was the person in charge of contacting Seraphine during this trip.

In addition to contacting and introducing, she also needed to go to the Castle of Dawn to report the previous situation to the other eight officials and the king.

After entering the Xiongdu, Seraphine's eyes did not fall on those towering and majestic white stone buildings, but instead looked at the people who were walking on the street and selling items with interest.

Her behavior of watching naturally attracted Laxana's attention.

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, take a look!

Laxana followed the other party's sight and fell on the street, curiously asking:

"Miss Seraphine, what did you hear from the people of Xiongdu?"

Seraphine has the ability to hear the voice of the soul, and Noxus has never concealed this ability.

However, among the eight officials who are about to meet today, only she and her aunt Tiana know about this.

At present, the communication channels between Demacia and Noxus are almost all controlled by the Crown Guard.

There is no need to say too much about some things, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

She and her aunt don't want to see some fools who use their brains as decorations to attack Noxus.

Among the eight officials now, few are really concerned about Demacia.

"Are they Demacians from the capital?"

Seraphine retracted her gaze and glanced at Laxana, stretched out her hand to gather the hair hanging by her ears, and said sincerely:

"They are all very simple people, and they all believe that you will make Demacia better."

"Me." Laxana lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly, "The influence of one person is insignificant."

Demacia has always been a united and democratic country.

Although the votes and decision-making power now belong to the nobles, this is something that will not change.

"That's not the case, Lady Laxana."

Seraphine blinked, stretched out her hand to Laxana, and invited her:

"Sometimes, superficial words may conceal the true meaning. But the voice of the soul reflects all the most real emotions. Are you interested in listening to the cries of the Demacians?"

Although Laxana's eyes were hesitant, Seraphine knew in her heart that Laxana would not refuse.

She liked, or perhaps agreed with, what Councillor Camille once said:

'Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife! '

Finally, facing Seraphine's enthusiastic eyes, Laxana made up her mind and stretched out her right hand.

When the two girls held hands, a blue-pink light flashed in Seraphine's eyes.

With a bang, Laxana's senses changed.

"Buzz-beep-mama-woo-wah-"

In an instant, countless sounds poured into her mind like a rising tide, impacting her nerves wave after wave.

Those voices were high and low, sharp and hoarse, with the loud shouts of adult men and the childish voices of children.

However, when the voices of countless people gathered together, people would only feel endless noise and chatter, unable to distinguish what they were saying. Those voices were obviously very close, but seemed very far away.

Hazy, humming, swelling, once made Laxana almost faint under the impact of information.

She opened her eyes wide, breathing rapidly, holding the other's palm slightly hard, looking at Seraphine in great surprise.

"This is the information I need to receive every moment. Sometimes I really feel that I am not far from madness. But the teacher told me that this is my talent, and I will try to accept it instead of fearing it."

Seraphine also held the other's hand hard, with a soothing and understanding smile on her face. Such a frank and accepting expression made Laxana respect her heart.

Even if it was only indirectly transmitted, the chaotic voices in her mind were almost driving her crazy.

It is hard to imagine how strong Seraphine's mind must be, who has been enduring all this.

Talent is only the key to success.

And who else can know the bitterness behind every successful person except oneself?

Laxana looked at Seraphine deeply, retracted her feelings for her, closed her eyes lightly, and carefully felt the voices in her mind.

Even if she only received them unconsciously, she could probably tell that these were the voices of the Demacians.

"Laxana. Freed from the cage, she is my glimmer of light, and I am willing to follow her forever."

The clearest voice in her mind was undoubtedly from Sylas, who was closest to them.

Laxana heard the firm belief in Sylas's heart, and she couldn't help but open her eyes with a wandering look, just meeting Seraphine's eyes that seemed to be smiling.

Two embarrassed blushes slowly seeped out of her face, but she was more grateful to her teacher in her heart.

Sylas's transformation may come from her inadvertent actions, but more of it is the clear path that the teacher gave her.

She was also truly grateful for Silas's heart.

Then, Laxana began to savor the voices of other people in Demacia.

"Demacia! Hope!"

"Democracy! Equality! Prosperity!"

"For Demacia!"

"Lady Laxana, you will definitely lead Demacia to new glory."

"Light Shield. Not as suitable as Crown Guard for the highest position."

"The king of Demacia should represent the will of the people, and should be the Crown Guard who has selflessly dedicated himself to Demacia for so long."

"Why did Demacia lose to Noxus when it was so great?"

"Lightshield! It was Lightshield! Lost the war with Noxus!"

"."

Hearing the voices of the Demacians around her, Laxana fell silent.

It seemed that most people were on the side of the Crown Guard.

But what did Lightshield do wrong?

Is it really time for them to fight for that position for Demacia?

Thinking of the rumors that Jarvan III's health was getting worse, Laxana fell silent.

Her kindness made her not want to disappoint the expectations of the Demacians.

But she also didn't want to discredit or harm the Lightshield family that had made contributions to Demacia because of this.

Otherwise, not to mention her strength, even if she asked Sylas to act secretly, it would be enough to destroy Lightshield.

As for the World Rune Guardian Ryze, the Winged Protector said that he would stand by her side, so she didn't have to worry.

While Laxana was lost in thought, Seraphine pulled her hands back in time, folded her hands on the hem of her skirt at her knees, and looked at Laxana quietly.

She couldn't hear Laxana's inner voice, but sometimes you don't need to rely on inner voice to guess a person's thoughts.

On the way to Demacia, after meeting Poppy, she did not choose to follow the original plan and learn all the history of Demacia on the way.

Instead, she chose to borrow the character information of Laxana and Ryze from her teacher.

Only by understanding those whose inner voices she couldn't hear more could she know more clearly what these people were thinking.

She always knew what the empire was thinking.

For the current Demacia, if it can step into the path planned by the empire, it may be difficult to accept in terms of position, but both life and future are far better than the current Demacia ruled by the nobles.

Giving everyone a better future has always been Seraphine's vision.

At the same time, this is also the goal that the empire has always been committed to.

Everyone has different abilities, and there is no real equality at all.

Equality is trampling on justice.

Justice is also denying equality.

The virtues that Demacia has always advocated are full of contradictions in the eyes of Seraphine, who has heard too many voices.

From the beginning, there is only one condition for achieving equality and justice at the same time.

The top leaders of the country are all saints without selfish desires. Everyone is like Commander Swain, who believes that the meaning of life is to contribute to the country.

In this way, justice can be ensured for everyone.

But unfortunately, as far as Seraphine knows, there has only been one person like Commander Swain in the thousand-year history of Noxus.

In her eyes, Laxana may have the potential to become such a person.

It's a pity that from the beginning, her potential could not be realized.
