The Blazing Sun Star Spirit and the Bright Moon Star Spirit returned to the Star Boundary again. To be precise, they returned to the Star Boundary with the bodies of Phyllis and Stacey who could not stand still.
After getting out of bed, Lester, who was unable to stop and was not prepared to stop the two stars, watched Phyllis and Stacey ascend to the sky, with a faint smile on the man's lips.
"Is it really okay to do this?"
A little scared, Octavia held Lester's hand. The woman was a little worried that such behavior would lead to terrible consequences.
"The Titans won't do anything to me, because I'm still useful to them. I'm just worried about Phyllis and Stacey. In a short time..."
"This star really wants to retire"
"Lord Wanderer, is that the god who created the moonstone?"
On the other side, Xiao Shuihua still couldn't forget the various ugliness shown by the superior god. Unknowingly, the friend girl's awe for the star spirits was much less, and she only felt that the man she followed was so powerful.
"Yes, she is the Bright Moon Star Spirit, the giant god who made moon stones for you."
"Teacher Leicester, Phyllis and the others have left. Will you leave?"
"If Twilight hadn't come to see me, I don't think I would have left."
Lester hugged the woman and Xiao Shuihua and said softly.
"Because you are still here."
…
Noxian Calendar,
In 352 AD, because "soldiers from the Kingdom of Gran disguised themselves as bandits and robbed the Noxian caravan", under the leadership of the War Stonemason, Noxus sent troops brazenly, and the Noxian Empire Legion divided into three groups. After setting foot on the territory of the Kingdom of Gran, the road was unstoppable. The Kingdom of Gran summoned the kingdom's soldiers to resist bravely. Relying on their understanding of the terrain, they contained the Noxus Empire army to the north of the Red Rock Fort-Boer Fort line. The war broke out in an instant. The rocky hills east of Valoran Plains were ignited, and the earth was dyed red with blood.
In 369 AD, Noxus used magic to blow up the gateway to the Kingdom of Gran in a surprise attack on the scorching battlefield. The west wall of Red Rock Castle collapsed instantly, and Red Rock Castle was lost.
The Golan Kingdom's Bolburg, which was at an angle to Red Rock Castle and protected each other, was reduced to an isolated city. Nokland had to face the front lines of the Noxian Empire's legion and face Noxus' terrifying Black Rose Mage. The Kingdom of Gran built the Forbidden Magic Wall bricks obtained from the Demacia trade on part of the outer wall of the royal capital of Nokland, reducing the magical threat of the Black Rose Mage.
The emergence of the Forbidden Demon Stone confirmed that Demacia had indeed secretly intervened in the Empire's War of Glory. The upper-class warlords and nobles of Noxus had intensified their hostility towards the old settlements in the Western Continent.
In 375 AD, when the Noxian Empire's legion came to the royal city, the Principality of Valx and the Kingdom of Northland announced an alliance with the Kingdom of Glen. The Principality of Valx sent troops to cut off the rear of the Nox Empire's army. The supply line, with the cavalry legion as the main force, surrounded and harassed the Noxus Empire's second and third legions from the rear, and besieged the flanks.
At the same time, the Northland Kingdom's army marched westward from Fort Mixit. One hundred thousand soldiers of the Kingdom rushed towards the Thorn Fortress, the western gateway of the Immortal Fortress. The army approached the Immortal Fortress.
Facing the anti-Noxian Three Kingdoms Alliance, the war took a turn for the worse. The Noxian Empire Legion that surrounded Nokland and prepared to attack the city had to shrink its troops and build an anti-cavalry defense line to resist the Duke of Valx's attack on Rufeng. light cavalry and powerful heavy armored knights,
In order to deal with the Northland Kingdom's army coming from the west, the Immortal Fortress urgently transferred most of the battle group soldiers from the military towns in the north, and started a new round of recruitment operations in Noxus. After integrating, training and When the new regiment was established, the Immortal Bastion sent a request for help to the Emerald Territory.
When the Immortal Fortress asked for help, the Emerald Territory dispatched troops as scheduled. According to Lester's strategic policy, the Emerald Territory only dispatched some conventional troops.
The regular troops were mainly composed of Dragon Bird Knights who threw alchemy bombs. The Emerald Territory dispatched 30,000 Noxian Black Guards and 2,000 Noxian Black Guards from Charnorth Castle to attack the Fallen Star Fortress of the Kingdom of Northland. Attack, faced with the alchemical bombs falling from the sky, the morale of the Northland Kingdom people who had never felt a three-dimensional blow plummeted. Seeing that their country could not defend against the Emerald Territory's attack, the Northland Kingdom army that besieged the Thorn Fortress had to mobilize 30,000 Kingdom soldiers to quickly The return of reinforcements gave Thorn Fortress a chance to breathe.
The Emerald Territory, which had achieved its strategic goal, slowed down the offensive and maintained a certain balance on the battlefield. Whether it was Noxus or the Valoran countries, they were slowly bleeding.
Time came to 384, and the war situation in the Eastern Continent was in a stalemate.
On the eastern battlefield, the three armies of the Noxus Empire were blocked north of Nokland by three times the combined forces of the Principality of Valx and the Kingdom of Gran. On the western battlefield, due to the inactivity of the Emerald Territory, The Fortress of Thorns fell, and the newly formed Noxian warband struggled to build a defense line on the west side of the Immortal Fortress, which seriously affected the spring planting and autumn harvest of Noxus. More than a dozen villages were moved to the north of the Gorel Mountains and the Black Iron River. The ground was stained red with blood, and the ground was covered in red, and logistics was seriously affected.
After thinking about it, Noxus, who was not ready to give up, decided to send out secret troops to assassinate the leaders and generals of the Royal Army in suicide attacks, causing damage to the military command systems of the Principality of Valx, the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of Northland. Not a small threat.
Whether it is the Principality of Valkos, the Kingdom of Gran, or the Noxus Empire, they are all tired of this long war, especially since the powerful Principality of Valoran has never taken sides. The fight has become much more restrained.
In 386, the Northland Kingdom was unable to break through the Immortal Fortress for a long time, and the Emerald Territory broke through the Meteorite Fortress like a sharp knife piercing the heart. The Northland Kingdom could only withdraw its troops. The coalition forces were in low spirits, and the people of all countries were in dire straits.
After internal discussions within the coalition, they decided to negotiate a peace with Noxus. The two sides ceased fighting. The envoys of the leader of the forces sat at the negotiation table, but they were still unable to obtain an agreement that satisfied both parties. The Kingdom of Gran wanted to let Noxus The Emerald Territory and the Emerald Territory vomited out the eaten Red Rock Castle, Fallen Star Fortress and nearby territories. The Emerald Territory did not care. Naturally, Noxus would not spit out what it had eaten. When the two sides reached a deadlock, they had already attacked Valoran. The long-coveted Shurima warlord in the mainland finally decided on a way to distribute money that satisfied everyone, and led his Shurima army to land on the Valoran continent.
Fifty thousand Shurima soldiers were divided into two groups. One group took a boat to the north of Valoran, crossed the Valzhu Mountains, and stabbed the Principality of Valx in the eye. The other group of warlords landed on the east coast of the Kingdom of Gran. , burning, killing and looting all the way, capturing slaves and plundering property, like a mangy dog running away after robbing.
Due to the pressure brought by the Shurima people, the Kingdom of Gran had to give up its lost territory at the negotiation table, and reluctantly gave up the lost territory. This made the Kingdom of Northland also swallow this sigh of relief.
Until the end, the dozing Emerald Territory diplomat did not find a chance to return the Falling Star Fortress to the Northland Kingdom.
In 387 AD, the three kingdoms withdrew their troops, and a brief period of peace returned to the continent of Valoran.
…
Shurima continent, Mount Targon.
In the newly built giant temple, Lester drove away the rest of the people. The priests bowed and exited the temple, closing the door.
The man slowly took off the pure gold high priest mask with the rays of the sun on the left and the brilliance of the moon on the right, revealing to the world his true appearance that had not been revealed for decades.
Sitting quietly in front of a sarcophagus engraved with the sun, moon and war spear, Lester stared at the old woman lying on the flower bed, and gently held the old woman's trembling hand.
Feeling the man's warmth, the old woman smiled with difficulty, but her cloudy eyes could no longer see the man's face clearly.
"Lester...Teacher...I'm afraid..."
"Weiya, I'm here, don't be afraid."
The man was as young and handsome as ever, and time was frozen in the most perfect moment. Perhaps it was just at this moment that the man hated himself.
It's very romantic to accompany someone for a lifetime until they grow old, but it's cruel not to be able to sleep with the person you love.
At least, it's crueler than men imagine.
He could only watch the one he loved leave alone,
There was nothing he could do but keep company.
"Lester...Teacher, the luckiest thing in my life...is meeting you..."
The old woman wanted to hold the man's hand hard, but her weak body made it difficult for her to mobilize her muscles and it was difficult for her to speak.
"How I wish...to be by your side all the time..."
"You are always here, Via, you are always here, I know.
It's also my luck to meet you. "
Hearing the man's gentle voice, Octavia smiled. The wrinkles on her face were squeezed together with the age spots, and she felt warm in her heart.
She thought of the day she met a man when she was covered in dyed tattoos and in her most desperate moment.
The old woman squinted her eyes. On that day, the sun was very dazzling, but the man was very dazzling. He appeared in front of her like a giant god and saved her. The reason was that she tore her trouser leg.
"Teacher, did I... help you?"
"It helped, Via, you helped me, you are the best."
"That's... really... great..."
The weak hand let go unilaterally, and the old woman closed her eyes with a smile on her face.
The man lowered his head, held the old woman's hand that was getting colder, and refused to let go.
In the shadows, Xiao Shuihua, wearing ice jade around his neck, slowly came to the man's side.
"Lord Wanderer, didn't you say that you have forgotten how to cry?"
"I didn't cry."
The man raised his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"The wind was a bit strong, I just lost my eyesight."
On this day, two major events happened at Mount Targon.
The Great Elder of Lahorak passed away and was buried in a sarcophagus on Mount Targon.
Lieyang and Bright Moon, the two immortal high priests of the Titan sect, left behind his unique customized masks and left the Titan Peak.
Looking at the empty temple, no one knew where the high priest had gone. Everyone could only kneel on the ground, sealing the sacred mask deep in the temple, waiting for the day when the undead high priest would return again.
…
On the continent of Shurima, a small village south of the Titan Mountains is littered with corpses.
More than 300 people in the village, including cattle, sheep and livestock, died under the sword one after another. A young man with pus all over his body and full of rotten scars held a sword that was nearly twice as wide as his body and killed everyone in sight. Everyone, including his parents and relatives, had their flesh and blood absorbed and reshaped, turning into some kind of evil energy to fill the body's defects.
It is a pity that the speed of body repair is far slower than the speed of body decay. Apart from the inaudible roar, the young man's throat is unable to make any sound as if it has been corroded by sulfuric acid. The hateful body controlled by the magic sword staggers around and looks around. With the desire for killing, destruction and revenge, they staggered towards the north of the Titan Mountains, which is full of life.
Before the host body completely decayed, he wanted to find a new host body, and then cut down all the damn twilight stars and this damn world.
…
South of the Dashai Desert, there is a city built on ruins. The glory of the ancient Shuriman Empire fell with the sun's disk and was buried in the yellow sand. The magnificent miracle of the Ascendants fell together with the holy and fearless glory of the Legion. Changed to a mocking new name - dark descendant.
The enemy that Sejax was willing to give everything to defeat was ruined by a despicable betrayal, and the entire empire was ruined. Since then, the continent of Shurima has become a place of chaos that has not changed for thousands of years. This hatred is somewhat apparent. Somewhat anticlimactic.
On this day, two figures riding Scarash emerged from the desert. They were Lester and Xiao Shuihua.
In order to avoid being monitored by the protoss, Lester swallowed the void pearl. He guessed that the monitor's target might be in Icathia, but he was not prepared to look for the [Runeterra localized void consciousness] that the monitor said. First, when he came to Runeterra, there was no news about the Void Consciousness in the background of the story. The Void was quite dangerous, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Second, it was not that he had no other options, and he also brought a little splash with him. .
Treasure hunting, finding the power to break the seal of the stars, or making friends with some strong people to expand their knowledge are all things that can be done now.
There are many ancient tomb treasures in the Shurima continent, including some powerful magical artifacts, such as the [Benefactor] that can resurrect the dead, Horok's [Underworld Blade] and [Spar Copper Gauntlet], as well as those sealed by the protoss. The Darkin weapon, after losing all its power, Lester does not mind using external objects to enhance his own strength, even if the weapon itself is a guy who will talk about it non-stop. At this point, he is very There are few other options.
The secret of Shurima's sun disk and the original axioms of Ixtar are also powers that Lester has never been exposed to, and they may not be able to be used for his own purposes.
For the above considerations, Lester placed the first stop on the solar disk.
This city was controlled by the great warlord Horace. Under the greedy eyes of several soldiers, Lester paid the toll of two silver coins. Seeing that several people were greedy, the man smiled and casually inserted the cold iron spear into the city. In the city wall eroded by the wind and sand, the tip of the spear carved a small hole in the city wall, which made the soldiers give up some thoughts that they shouldn't have.
The two entered the city successfully.
"Lord Wanderer, this land is so desolate. I finally understand why water can buy lives."
The little splash, which was as dry as a small fish because of the sun, lay listlessly on the man's back. She never thought that there was such a hell on earth as the "desert" on the terrible land.
“Not only is it desolate, it’s dangerous.”
Looking at a few greedy eyes on the street, Lester said softly.
"Is there nothing Bingyu can do to make you feel better?"
Shaking his head vigorously, Xiao Shuihua put his cold cheek against the side of the man's face, making the man feel refreshed.
"Lord Wanderer, I'm fine. I just need to take a rest."
"The Kehari River flows through this city. I think we should be able to find a resting place near the river. Then you can replenish your water."
"Hmm~"
The Sun Disk has the unique architectural style of ancient Shurima. It is no problem at all to decorate these half-covered buildings with tallness, grandeur, magnificence, ancientness and sanctity.
Most of the buildings have sunk into the desert along with the Ascended Disk in the center. Many shops and hotels are built on these immortal brick walls protruding from the yellow sand, and secondary expansions are carried out using the unburied brick walls as the foundation. , most of the materials are wood and special animal skins that are resistant to wind and sand erosion. They look a bit nondescript, but also have a strange and harmonious charm.
There are not many people on the streets. Most of them are scavengers unique to Shurima. These scavengers will go on collecting expeditions outside the city.
Dead corpses, dead animals, desert wood and edible plants, and even flammable Doman beast dung are all items that scavengers can exchange for living supplies.
Others are caravan guards or adventurers and bandits who don't look easy to mess with. These people are mercenaries or guards during the day, but at night they turn into greedy robbers and hunters.
Looking back at the probing gazes indifferently, Lester's back disappeared into the street.
"How about you, do you want to make a deal? Both of them are top-notch, but that man doesn't seem to be easy to mess with."
"Don't worry, there will be people who can't stand it anymore. We'll see if they are fat sheep or not."
