The trees on both sides receded steadily, like a green maze from which there was no escape.
Holding the dagger, Mosset ran forward in fear, not daring to look back. He allowed his robe to be scratched and pulled by the thorns blocking the road, leaving many blood stains on his body.
At this moment, even a small stone on the ground has become the man's most feared stumbling block.
From the moment the poisonous arrows were blown away by the strange wind, things went out of control. The companions around him fell one by one, and he couldn't even see clearly what kind of moves the person who killed his companions used.
In front of that man, even the strongest Nan is no match for him. How to deal with such an enemy?
The expected confrontation ended the moment they touched each other. In terms of strength, speed, reaction ability and proficiency with daggers, there was a huge gap between myself and the others and the man from Noxus, let alone that man. Still a mage.
A frighteningly simple killing was enough to turn any strong-willed man into a coward. In the hands of that man, life seemed worthless, and the results of more than ten years of martial arts practice were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
My feeling was right from the beginning. The Noxian was not a fat sheep at all, but a terrifying demon.
The route in the forest that was familiar in the past became extremely strange now, and he became more and more anxious. Until he saw the man blocking the front again, Moser fell to the ground, and finally dropped the powerless dagger.
He gave up completely.
"Don't run away?"
Lester seemed to be used to Janna on his head. He touched the wind elf who took the initiative to give him the speed buff, and walked up to his 'acquaintance' with a faint smile.
The man in front of him was the young man with the knife on the ox cart when he just left Linyi.
"I thought I would only make friends on the bullock cart to Playa Village. Unexpectedly, I also gained a lot of enemies. And I have many more enemies than friends. These things always happen to me. On my body, it seems that I should have many enemies."
"Li...ster, who are you?"
Fear caused Moser's legs to lose strength, and even his throat felt like it was filled with water and it was difficult to breathe.
"I'm just an ordinary traveler. After seeing you, I knew that my luck was not very good."
Use the magic steel dagger to nail the brown-haired young man's hand into the dirt. Amid Moser's sharp wail, Lester said lightly.
"Tell me about your origins. You can lie to me. As long as it satisfies me, I will give you a happy life. Otherwise, you may be very unhappy."
After finally recovering from the severe pain, Moser knew that he was certain to die, and it would be better to suffer less pain than to be tortured at the hands of the devil.
"Hehe... Hehe... From the day I walked on this road, I knew that sooner or later I would meet someone like you... Murderers, people will always kill them, I admit it, I just ask you to be with me When you're done, give me a good time."
"I don't think you have any bargaining power."
Stepping on the hilt of the dagger, the wound on Moser's right hand began to enlarge. It seemed that he was numb or had adapted to the severe pain. The silent young man actually gave Lester a high look and moved away. Right foot, which made Mose sigh in relief.
"...Hiss... We are a member of the Navoli Thieves Alliance. The leader is Nan, the bald man you killed. I came to you this time because I was blind and harmed others. Others There is nothing more to say. Don’t ask me where the headquarters of the Thieves Alliance is. Only Nan, as the leader, knows that. I only know that there are many members of the Thieves Alliance. Spies are all over the gray world of Ionia. The Alliance is doing If you have enough chips to buy lives and protect important people, you will sometimes participate in power struggles on other continents under the call of the alliance. On weekdays, you will also find some foreigners and unlucky guys who are alone to make money. Some dirty money, I’m really unlucky to run into you this time.”
"How do I contact the Thieves Alliance if I want to pay for my life?"
The Alliance of Thieves mentioned by the brown-haired young man reminds Lester of Ionia. In the game background, the Alliance of Thieves and the Alliance of Thieves are considered to be the three famous terrorist organizations in Rune Land. These forces are best at creating terrorist attacks and act unscrupulously and cold-bloodedly. The kind that proudly shouts "I'm responsible" after killing and injuring innocent people.
The main force behind the human trafficking and slave trade in Runeterra is the Shurima warlords. Fortunately, the Blade of Night cut off the Shuriman's hand that was reaching out to the Emerald Territory, letting the painful Shuriman know what was happening. The place cannot make a fortune.
Lester wouldn't be surprised if he said it was the predecessor of , but just hearing the brown-haired young man say it, it didn't seem to make sense.
A fraternity is much tighter than an alliance.
"Look for the black market. If you find the black market, you can find people from the Thieves Alliance. The rule is that you name the person you want to kill. The more complete the information, the better. The Thieves Alliance will evaluate the difficulty of the operation and the value of the target, and then give an estimate. You pay three One-third of the deposit will be paid, and the remaining two-thirds will be paid after the assassination is successful. If the assassination fails, the Thieves Alliance will continue to send killers to carry out the assassination. Under normal circumstances, unless it offends someone who should not be offended, the Alliance will pursue them to the end. , of course, if it fails, the deposit will not be refunded, but the remaining two-thirds will not be paid.
This is the unique emblem ring of the Thieves Alliance. I won’t use it anyway, so I’ll give it to you. Of course, you can also get Nan’s. His ring can only be obtained by core members of the Alliance. With that The ring can be recognized by the alliance and be qualified to form a team to join the alliance. Otherwise, you have to pass the alliance's harsh test to obtain the core ring. "
Taking the finely carved bone ring that resembled an octagonal flower from Moser's hand, and recalling the other bone ring on the bald killer's finger, Lester discovered that the subtlety was that the bones seemed to be different. It is not as simple as looseness or non-looseness, or whether to apply plaster or not.
After sending the brown-haired young man on his last journey with a magic steel dagger, Lester searched him again. Apart from the crossbow and dagger, he found nothing useful except two gold coins and a small porcelain bottle. It seemed that these The thieves are not rich either.
After releasing fire elemental magic, the unknown enemy was burned into bone powder. With the help of Janna, Lester returned to the battlefield at the beginning.
Soon, Lester collected other trophies. Apart from the bald man's bone ring, a porcelain bottle suspected of containing poison, and a dozen gold coins, Lester had no intention of keeping anything else and burned them all. Use magic to roll new soil and bury the ashes in the ground. Dust to dust to dust, everything vanished, as if it had never appeared.
By the time the operation of destroying the corpses and eradicating traces was completely completed, about half an hour had passed. During this period, the old coachman Lianghe, Lulu and others were obediently hiding in the carriage compartment, which saved Lester a lot of explanation time.
The carriage was on the road again. Both the coachman Lianghe and Ogman had a new understanding of Lester's strength, especially the cat boy who secretly watched the battle from the window and had already thought of becoming his disciple. Able to easily defeat those powerful killers that he had longed for, Ogman has understood what true power means.
The journey was far away, and laughter and laughter resumed on the carriage again. The ruts gradually disappeared at the end of the green path, leaving only the crimson land, telling the story of the life that had passed away in the wind and would never return.
…
, originating from the Sea of Watchers, flowing into the west coast of the Ionia continent through Linyi Port, and gradually transitioning to the east. The farthest second branch is adjacent to the southern foot of the northern end, close to the core city of Navoli Province, and runs through the west The Philo Island and the inland Presidio are extremely important maritime traffic routes.
After bidding farewell to the old coachman Lianghe, Lester and his party got on the boat and sailed northeast along the Huanxi River.
The boatman is a one-eyed, silent middle-aged man named Naler. After searching all the boatmen in Bona Village, only Naler was willing to go to Presidio at the beginning of the Soul Blooming Festival. Although the villagers did not say the reason, Lai However, Ste knew that it might be related to the spirits and ghosts that wreaked havoc on the Soul Blooming Festival.
Due to the higher terrain in the southwest, the boat speed is faster. In the fast-flowing Huanxi River, the boat goes down the river, letting the strange scenery along the way quickly recede behind it. Soon the boat has turned the first big bend, along the Heading north along the Leatherman Mountains.
Life on the boat is also very interesting. During the day, I watched the scenery on both sides of the river with Lulu. Under the guidance of the boatman Nale, I greeted and exchanged food with the passing fishing boats. Under O'Gorman's explanation, I learned about life in the Huanxi River. There were all kinds of fish, and even Lester personally got off the boat to catch fish and cooked grilled fish on the boat. Even the taciturn boatman Naller gave a thumbs up, ate all the grilled fish, and even took the initiative to ask Lester Learn how to use the element of fire to stabilize your grilled fish.
When night comes and various night birds flap their wings across the river, the boat will dock on the shore, and everyone will return to the cabin to rest and fall asleep on the sparkling Fantasy River. Lester himself is very fond of it. His fascination with the night beauty of the Fantasy River seems to be because the aura of magic is too strong. When Lester uses magic perception, he will always find that in the world of magic, the Fantasy River exudes seven colors of light like linspots, and It doesn't look dazzling, but is particularly soft against the night. In the process, Elena in the body will also become excited.
O'Gorman said that this is actually a kind of spiritual energy similar to magic, but more primitive, which can be used as currency, so Lester is not idle and takes the initiative to collect it whenever he has time.
In Ionia, even the basic elements of magic are full of unique vitality. The ice element snowflakes that originally existed on the continent of Valoran have now turned into female elves with ice wings. I wonder if they were influenced by men. Aesthetic influence, the beautiful elf has an exquisite face, wearing a blue glazed skirt, the majestic ice peak is about to come out, the strange snow peak shield is crumbling, and the smooth shoulders interpret the cunning and cunning so vividly that Lester will take the initiative Pay attention to whether the anti-gravity ice wing dress will fall down and let you see some small ice balls that you shouldn't see.
Fortunately, the ice elemental elf with more human emotions also understood the man's worries. After sensing the inner desire of his favorite master, the ice elf took the initiative to peel off the gorgeous ice skirt, making the body more transparent and making the man more transparent. Speechless Lester finally confirmed that the old comrade had been deceived by those who did not respect martial ethics.
It turns out that the majestic ice ball is not the body of the ice elemental elf, but the ice elemental elf. It is no different from the disguise of a man disguised as a woman.
The ice elemental elf surrounding the body has no gender characteristics. There is only a flat field of holy light on the chest. The reason why it transformed into a female appearance was only due to the influence of Elena and Lester, who took the initiative to create a human body. Lester was more fond of the false image, and the specific gender physical signs were not complete.
Unless the ice elemental elves develop a complete self-personality and their self-cognition status is 'female', they will transform from a flat plain to a holy and majestic Mount Fuji.
Perhaps in the future, ice elemental elves will gain a complete 'female' concept and self-awareness, but not now.
After thinking about it, Lester gave up the idea of using the life force provided by Elena to force his mother to turn into an ice elemental elf. It was enough to simply admire the little guy wearing an ice wing dress and waving his snowflake wings. He did not do anything else. The things are just superfluous and meaningless.
He can't even use magic elements...ahem...
Not necessarily...right?
In short, while enjoying the peaceful life in Ionia, Lester has not been idle. In addition to absorbing magic, he also often uses meditation to feel the spiritual realm of Ionia, and cooperates with Elena to further develop more active magic. Elements, research comes from the magic books left by the Icathian Destruction Mage.
When she was still at the Black Rose Mage Academy, Margaret gave Lester the magic scroll unearthed in the village. However, due to various reasons, Lester never really released the enhanced magic and magic recorded on the scroll. The summoning magic, when creating the amplifying magic circle, absorbed a lot of the spellcasting concepts of the Icathian Destruction Mage, so the scroll was not useless in Lester's hands.
It is worth mentioning that the ones that record the strengthening magic are completely different from the ones that record the magic of summoning the undead. The whole thing exudes an evil atmosphere, but it simply records the methods and steps of arcane spell casting. Lester has always suspected , and what was unearthed together is not in the game.
In particular, the powerful spells recorded above require the cooperation of magic rings to be released perfectly. After several years of soul accumulation and devouring hundreds of human souls, they have officially entered the first level and achieved the spell casting mentioned on the human skin scroll. On top of that, there are two different levels of spellcasting limits. Judging from the number of souls swallowed, it is an out-and-out evil weapon. The greed for souls can be called excessive demands, but it is in line with the pursuit of more and more in the game. A domineering style that kills people more and more.
Lester has always been vigilant enough to deal with the unknown Icathia-enhanced spells and suspected murder books in his hands.
The scroll does not give a clear description after the spell is successfully released. It is difficult to guarantee that no bad accident will happen after the spell is successfully released. Therefore, Lester has been using his free time to analyze the arcane composition on the scroll. , I want to understand before release how far the so-called 'reinforcement' can reach and what side effects it will have.
He hates things that are out of control, not to mention that such things are still very likely to hurt his weapons.
