Unaware that the goal he was pursuing had arrived in the Land of the First Born, the rune bearer was approaching Presidence in Navoli Province. Ryze stood on the east coast of the Valoran continent, letting his hat hooded. blown down by the sea breeze,
The wandering mage blankly sensed the traces of the red rune fragments, estimated the approximate distance, and finally confirmed that he was on this side, and the other person was on the other side of the sea.
The question is, which end of the sea is it?
The Sea of Watchers is so big, where can I find another rune fragment?
Blue Flame Islands? Bilgewater Bay? Or Ionia?
Will he chase me to the grave?
If you directly use the power of the red rune in your hand, can you save more than ten years of time and directly...
Throwing the runes back into the rune scroll, his wandering thoughts stopped abruptly.
The whispers of runes in his ears gradually dissipated, and the wandering mage felt a rare feeling of deep fatigue. Amidst the sound of waves lapping at the shore, Ryze sat down on the big stone with his body hunched and raised his chin with his elbows. Become a thinker.
The wandering mage is going to figure things out to avoid becoming a headless fly.
In his view, the journey can be tiring, can take detours, and can be full of disappointments, but it can never be without a clear goal.
Without a clear goal, let alone circumnavigating the entire continent of Valoran in more than ten years, I might not even be able to go a hundred meters.
"If it's not a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence. I happened to come to the southern continent of Valoran, and another person who mastered the red rune just happened to leave the continent of Valoran and go to other places. It was simply, it was as if he had mastered the red rune. They knew my whereabouts, as if they were deliberately avoiding me, but there are not many people who really know me and know that I am collecting runes in the world. In the eyes of most people, I am just a wanderer. How could anyone master the runes? , someone I have never met and knows me very well deliberately wants to get rid of me across the continent? Impossible."
Shaking his head and throwing away his outrageous thoughts, Ryze sighed and admitted the cruel reality that he was not very lucky.
"Since it can't be a premeditated action, it can only be a coincidence. Should I continue to track it?"
When Ryze was a little confused, the boundless sea gave Ryze the answer.
If the world can reduce some disasters caused by runes, then crossing the sea will make sense.
"Let's go, we can't stop here and hesitate."
After thinking for a long time, Ryze decided to abandon the original route of searching for runes around various continents. Since the runes with "long legs" have become uncertain factors, it is better to keep moving in the general direction of the red runes, and take the opportunity to Look for other runes along the way, which is at least a little better than searching like a headless chicken.
The sea breeze brought a heavy horn sound in the harbor of the Immortal Fortress, indicating that another large ship was about to leave its post. Ryze stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, put his hood back on, and his tired steps became strong again.
Before crossing the ocean, he needed to find a suitable ship.
There are no requirements, as long as you can cross the sea.
…
Presidence is located in the core area of the Ionian continent, and is the heart of the province of Navoli and the First Land. If you count the long history, Presidence has a history of thousands of years, and is prosperous and beautiful. The city is enough to make travelers stop and take the initiative to stay in this magical land.
Hundreds of thousands of Ionians and foreign travelers live in Placidium. Under the leadership of the Apocalypse and the Holy Prophet, the holy land of Ionia has not suffered the ravages of large-scale rune wars and dark tyrants. , Presidence has always maintained the calmness of thousands of years ago, demonstrating the beauty of harmony between man and nature, spiritual and material realms.
It is the holy place among holy places, the most revered place by the people of Ionia, and represents the spirit of Ionia that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is also the place where the soul of Ionia lives in every life.
The Palace of Eternal Life was designed by ancient Ionian Feng Shui and astrology masters and was built in a majestic and deep mountain stream. The symmetrical mahogany hall rises from the ground and is majestic, surrounded by dragons and tigers. Shuanglong Mountain is guarded in the depths, the streams are continuous and thorough, the cold and heat are not invaded all year round, the flowers are in bloom, and the brocades form a sea.
Although it stands under a dangerous cliff in a mountain stream, the sun can shine and the moon can sleep. The yang energy rises at noon and the yin energy lingers since midnight. The yin and yang are combined and endless.
A day is divided into three parts, and the four seasons are divided into three parts: Yang divides dawn and Yin divides dusk.
The perfect star feng shui pattern ensures that every eight hours, different celestial bodies and stars will shine down from the sky. As the saying goes, 'one day has three parts, sun, moon and stars, and yin, yang, dusk and dawn have one part each.' For Ionian practitioners who pursue the righteousness of heaven and earth, the qi of the sun, moon and stars, it is a rare treasure.
Thanks to the unique Feng Shui pattern, the elders and monks living in the Palace of Eternal Life all have long lifespans. Their pure minds and a rhythmic spiritual life allow the wise old people to easily live to be over a hundred years old. However, No matter how long-lived the old man is, he is far from as long-lived as the real owner of the Palace of Eternal Life, the soul of Ionia, Karma, who has been reincarnated for more than five hundred years.
If death is also the beginning of a new round of memory, then life is on a never-ending road.
The origin of Karma I cannot be verified, but all Ionians know that there is only one master of the Palace of Eternity, and that is Karma, and Karma is the only one who can make any stubborn Ionian The obedient prophet of the Apocalypse.
The pale reincarnation tree swayed gently, and crimson six-leaf soul-returning flowers were flying all over the sky.
The ancient and vicissitudes of the evening drums and morning bells echoed in the red sunset before the sunset disappeared, shattering the illusory clouds of fire.
In the main hall, monks clasped their hands and recited scriptures. After bathing, the elders and masters sat cross-legged on futons and meditated on the enlightenment of the prophet in the agarwood.
The candles were burning brightly, and the old man, who had reached his 125th birthday, sat cross-legged in front of him, silently.
The beard and hair are all white, the peaceful old man with kind eyes is draped in gorgeous silk satin, and the double dragon halo on the back of his head is endless. The power contained in the soul of Ionia is enough to climb mountains and seas, but it has been smoothed by the peaceful and perseverance of the heart from beginning to end. The edges and corners allow the two dragons to weaken their ever-expanding power while consuming each other, keeping the two dragons at a low level of mental energy.
When the melodious bells completely fell and the last glow disappeared on the highest tiled roof of the Palace of Eternal Existence, the fifth Karma was reincarnated, and the contemporary cultivator stood up and left the Palace of Reincarnation.
When the door of the Palace of Samsara was completely closed, Karma Xiu didn't see the eternal soul lamp swaying slightly in the absence of wind.
Outside the hall, the Shuoji Temple warrior monk 'Lu' who was guarding the door lowered his head in reverence.
"Prophet, do you want to have a meal now?"
The breeze blew across his cheeks, but Xiu shook his head, looked up at the Samsara Wood outside the Palace of Samsara, and said softly to the flying Soul-Returning Flower.
"Ritsu, I don't have much time. I have to do more things before I leave."
The bald monk's face changed slightly and he didn't speak. He knew that Karma, who looked solemn, still had something to say.
That was something even more important than Karma's impending reincarnation.
"During meditation, I saw a sea of blood in the sea of blooming flowers. Just like in the past, those things that are ready to move are coming again."
Hearing this, Ritsu's expression changed drastically. The last time Karma saw blood was before the Soul Blooming Festival five years ago. During that Soul Blooming Festival, many terrible spirits and ghosts used the Soul Blooming Flower to bloom. From the spiritual realm to the material realm, it broke the balance between the two realms and brought great pain to Presidian. If Karma hadn't summoned the group of practitioners and acolytes who spontaneously guarded the balance between the two realms in advance to protect him, Under the blooming spirit tree, there may be more casualties.
"Are they coming again?"
After a moment of silence, Karma nodded with a heavy tone.
"Judging from the vision, this disaster is more severe than the last one. An evil spirit appears in the spiritual realm that can travel through shadows and dreams. It is it that intensifies the fear among the people, and it is also it that destroys the two worlds. The balance makes the dead souls unable to rest in peace, and makes those monsters become more numerous in the spiritual realm."
Recalling the legend of the ghostly nightmare circulating around the shadow mage, Lu frowned. He did not expect that two unrelated things would be entangled together and lead to such serious consequences.
"Then what are we going to do? Gather those practitioners who uphold the 'Way of Balance between Two Worlds' again?"
"I'm afraid it's not enough, but good and evil will eventually be rewarded. We don't need to intervene too much... Calling the elders, we need to let more people know about this matter, if those practitioners want to build a temple , you have to do something well.”
…
The people of Presidence did not know the disaster that was about to happen to them, but they could see that a group of strange people had come to their hometown.
A particularly handsome and calm Noxian young man, a one-eyed Ionian man with a somewhat heavy complexion, a Vastaya cat boy, plus a palm-sized fairy and a boy less than one meter tall. The tall purple Yoders, such a combination is rare even in Ionia, a land full of miracles and magic.
However, their peaceful and tolerant nature prevented the Ionians from showing any rude looks. On the contrary, many warm-hearted Ionians came forward to inquire and wanted to help these guests outside of Presidence.
Rejecting the enthusiastic Ionians, Lester, who already had Naler and Ogman as his guides in Presidence, stayed at a natural hotel in Presidence under the leadership of the boatman and the cat boy. Inside.
Different from the unique tree house hotel in Playa Village, although the hotel in Presidio is also built with many living trees, it is not that high. Instead, it covers a large area and also uses some individual natural wooden boards and stones. As a partition, divide the space.
During the chat, Lester realized that the reason why the main frame can grow into a perfect hypotenuse structure is because there are special blessings to the tree spirits, so that the trees are willing to change their growth status and become Ionia. Part of the house is not only the construction, but also the daily work of praying for mining, praying for fruit trees and farmland to bear fruit, and praying for the impatient birds and animals to voluntarily become human food.
Also known as the Ionian people, it is a very respected profession in Ionia. As long as it involves people and nature, in the eyes of the Ionians, you can never go wrong with a spirit caller.
If they are willing, people with constipation can even find a spirit caller to call out "Gong", as long as they can bear the spirit caller's big mouth.
It can be seen from the blue feathered hair that the innkeeper is a Vastaya feathered person, but he doesn't know if he can fly.
"Friends of Vastaya, we need four houses to rent for a month."
Glancing at the foreigner with a light green look, the Vastaya feathered boss took out a cyan magicite and placed it on the table, and said in a neutral tone.
"The Spirit Blooming Festival is coming, there aren't that many houses left, there are only two empty rooms."
"Lulu, you and I will share a room, and Ogman, you and Mr. Naler will share a room. Is that okay?"
"Mr. Lister, it's no problem."
For the guide Ogman, it is enough to obey the arrangement of the financial owner, while the boatman uncle nodded indifferently. At this moment, he would not care even if he lives in the wilderness.
"Great, I can sleep with little Lenny again~"
After touching Lulu's excited little head, Lester turned back to look at the innkeeper.
"Two rooms are enough, how much do you charge?"
"Just fill this up."
Putting his hand on it, Lester slowly injected the Ionia magic element collected along the way. The blue stone began to flash brightly regularly, and the depleted magic element gradually filled up.
In Ionia, there are generally three ways of trading, namely bartering, bartering with Shurima currency, or using magic as currency.
Bartering is generally common in ordinary mountain villages and settlements, used to exchange each other's survival materials.
Bartering with Shurima currency is more common among outsiders. Merchants from outside the First Land prefer to trade with real gold and silver.
Magical elements are the most special. They are commonly used in transactions with vastayas and spirit summoners. There are also a considerable number of talented Ionians who like to trade with magical elements.
As a special kind of energy in the Ionian continent, in Lester's view, magic element is more like a kind of spiritual energy, which is only called by the Ionians.
Ionian practitioners and Vastayans can use it for practice, and they will also consume magic elements when communicating with the spirits of all things. The total amount of independently produced magic elements in an area where the spiritual and material realms remain unchanged is Fixed, the more people use it, the amount that each person can get will naturally become less. Every time a little bit is produced, it will be quickly divided by everyone. In this case, in densely populated areas, magic element has become a relatively s things,
If you want to obtain new magic elements, you must go to sparsely populated areas to absorb them. This is why Lester often sees people sitting cross-legged on large bare rocks, meditating and practicing.
