"Boss, a glass of sweet ale."
"Seeing as you are a foreigner, I will give you a drink with ten more copper coins. Do you want to come?"
"Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't have a second drink."
Rejecting the tavern owner's kindness, Milton picked up the glass and drank it all. After putting down the glass, Milton glanced at the other companions lurking in the tavern and walked out of the tavern first.
A man wearing a big black felt hat and cloak just disappeared into the crowd, and the corners of Milton's mouth were slightly raised.
The incompetent Shurima defenders played no role in this incident. Under Lester's order, it has become an established fact that the Emerald Territory controls Vazuan, so there is no need to care about the Shurima defenders. In my view, the victimized Noxian merchants were the best excuse for the Emerald Territory to intervene.
For Milton, how to capture the mysterious fire elemental mage is the current top priority. Confirm the address of the fire elemental mage, mobilize the manpower of Black Lightning and Night Blade to arrange a killing situation. During the operation, he will not give any clues. The fire elemental mage has no chance to escape and resist. He knows that he can only satisfy the uncrowned king of the Emerald Territory by doing things cleanly and beautifully.
Now that he has completed the first step, Black Lightning's Meimi is obviously more experienced than him in how to capture the mage.
"He will come back, Master Meimi, just place the 'things' here."
Master Meimi nodded and said nothing, turning around and leaving.
At this moment, Kegan Noho didn't know that a big net had already wrapped around him, who had just arrived in Wazuan, without any sound. The big net didn't know that the little bird he captured was a bloodthirsty vulture. .
…
In the hotel, Lester once again dropped blood on the rune crystal plate. The illuminated rune crystal plate projected a magic light curtain. A flickering light point was moving around in the light curtain. It was just that the light curtain Before he could hold on for three seconds, the flickering light spots completely disappeared, and then the rune crystal disk also dimmed.
When Lester was on Wuwei Island, he also used the rune crystal disk to determine the direction, but he never thought that such a weird situation would occur with the reliable rune crystal disk.
"Come Hit, what does the flashing light mean?"
Shia came over to look at the dim rune crystal plate with a curious look on her face, until Lester dropped blood on the crystal plate again, making the light spots appear and start to move around.
Regarding the abnormal appearance of the rune crystal disk, Lester, who looked serious, stopped dripping blood on the crystal disk. Since he had confirmed that it was nearby, there was no need for him to use the rune crystal disk for invalid positioning.
"Maybe it means that the holder of the rune fragment is moving, or maybe another rune fragment has taken the initiative to cut off the connection. Now I don't know exactly what is going on, but at least one thing is certain, Vazuan There are rune fragments, and the location of this fragment is not far from us.
The possibility of the rune crystal disc being broken is very small. This thing itself has the effect of amplifying the breath of rune fragments. The question now is how to find the world runes delivered to our door. "
Looking away from the rune crystal plate, Shia suddenly thought of the fire element mage that Milton and others were tracking down. Shia stretched out lazily and said casually.
"Lait, do you think the person who controls the rune fragments is the fire mage who burned the cargo ship? Isn't it strange that there are only fire mage of unknown origin in Vazuan during this time?"
After hearing Shia's words, Lester's expression changed. If this was the case, Milton and others would definitely not be opponents of the fire elemental mage. He who controls the world's runes knew very well how terrifying the power of the runes was.
After reorganizing his thoughts, he thought of a certain heroic character who controlled runes, and Lester said in a deep voice with a bad premonition in his heart.
"The possibility is very small, but... it is not impossible. Shia, Milton's actions need to slow down. If the fire elemental mage is really the rune holder, then Mage Meimi and Black Lightning will definitely not He will be the opponent of the fire elemental mage..."
Before Lester could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door behind him.
"Dongdongdong~dongdongdong~"
It was obviously just a gentle knock on the door, but Lester could hear a certain stubbornness, as if the door would keep knocking if he didn't open the door. Just hearing the sound made Lester feel what aggression was.
Standing up in silence, Lester took off the God-killing Blade placed in the cabinet. After gesturing to Shia who was holding the rune crystal disk, Lester opened the door bolt and looked coldly.
A stranger covered in a black hooded cloak was raising his red-skinned right hand as if knocking on the door. When the door opened, the owner of the cloak raised his head, revealing a heart covered with flaming red stripes. The braised egg head looks a bit scary.
This momentary impression reminded Leicester of the purple sweet potato spirit Ryze. Whether it was his clothing style or his appearance eroded by the power of runes, the guy in front of him looked very similar to the purple braised egg head.
But no matter how much he looks like the man in front of him, he will not be Ryze the Purple Sweet Potato, because Ryze will never show his cruel side, and there is no arrogance in his eyes directed at other people. Peace and humility are Ryze's nature, not Madness born out of pain.
The red braised egg in front of him almost had "I am a bad guy" carved on his forehead. The only difference was that the head of the braised egg in front of him had not yet transformed into the burning Ghost Rider.
"Should I call you Kegan Noho, or should I call you Brand, the Vengeful Flame Soul?"
"I didn't tell anyone my real name...how did you know??"
Kegan Nohe, or Brand who had been combined with the runes in the flames, and was completely reborn under the transformation of the runes, paused casting spells. He had never seen the man in front of him, but the man who also controlled the runes had He seemed to know him very well.
This accident temporarily suppressed his murderous intention, and he decided to let the man in front of him take a few more breaths to satisfy his curiosity.
"I know a lot of things. For example, you burned down the Noxian cargo ship. Another example is that you and your teacher Ryze turned against each other because of the runes. In order to gain the power of the runes, you did not hesitate to think about it. Kill your savior and mentor with your own hands...
I have to say that if you really succeed, this will be a relief for Ryze. Has he told you that his teacher, Master Tyrus, was killed by him in a sneak attack because of rune problems? of? You guys are of the same blood. "
After taking half a step back, Brand looked at Lester again with a serious face, feeling a little more wary.
"Who are you? Why do you know about me?"
Slowly drawing out the God-killing Blade, Lester sighed.
"Since you were able to find this place, you must have understood that some things are inevitable. To be honest, I quite like you. If you didn't always throw flame ricochet into people, it would hurt sometimes."
With a sneer, knowing that he might have met a powerful enemy, Brand's black robe instantly burned out, his whole body turned into a burning evil spirit, and his voice also became like an evil spirit.
This is his full strength.
"You don't really think you can defeat me, do you?"
Brand responded with the blade of the God-Killing Blade. Brand flicked his right hand and whipped a flaming whip towards the God-Killing Blade.
"boom!
! "
Like a thermobaric bomb detonating in a secret room, the entire hotel was instantly reduced to a sea of fire, and the flames engulfed everything.
Hundreds of people were buried in the overbearing flames. Amidst the screams, only a huge silver dragon crashed through the burning hotel roof. The dragon rushed into the sky. It was Shia who was responsible for protecting the rune crystal disk.
This rare scene in a century stunned nearby residents and tourists. The burning hotel could be attributed to mages doing damage, but the problem is, how did a giant dragon with a wingspan of more than ten meters shrink in? In the hotel? Bone shrinkage?
The streets of Wazuan instantly became a mess. Some people used wooden barrels to fetch water to try to put out the fire. Some people yelled to move the shop property that had not yet ignited. Some people were crying. It seemed that their relatives were still in the hotel. When we came out, everyone was doing their own thing, running around like ants, but it didn't have any effect at all.
Further away, Milton and Meimi, who were preparing to ambush Brand in the tavern where Brand lived, changed their expressions and rushed here frantically with the black lightning mage troops.
In the hotel devoured by the flames, Lester's body was completely scorched, and his eyes were ripe with carbonized skin. Against the smell of crispy outside and tender inside, he forcibly pulled out the God-killing Blade from Brand's chest, burning brightly. Brand fell to the ground, and the flames on his body gradually dimmed like a fading life. Brand's eyes were full of unwillingness and doubt.
The enemy in front of him had obviously turned into a carbon stick, but he could still act as if nothing had happened. Even the face that was beyond recognition showed no pain.
Obviously, it is very painful to be burned by flames, why would he act so calmly...
"Why... you are not afraid of my flames? Why... can you break my magic? Why... why..."
Staggering and paralyzed on the ground, Lester's right hand, whose body had been completely carbonized, could no longer support the weight of the God-killing Blade. He could only passively throw away Aatrox, who was laughing at him. He flicked his left arm twice. The carbon block was stuck to a piece of meat that was already nine-fine cooked. Compared with just now, he couldn't smell anything now.
He casually threw his cooked meat on the ground. Lester, who was no different from a carbon skeleton, opened his mouth and realized that he had no mouth. His throat and chest were completely carbonized and no sound came out. The whole world became There was eternal darkness. The strange thing was that he could still hear Brand's voice despite losing his five senses. He wondered if it was because of the rune fragments in Brand's body and the rune fragments in his own body. Some kind of connection.
On the other side, Brand, who saw that Lester had become a cripple and had a panoramic view of Lester's misery, smiled with difficulty. He knew that although the man in front of him was the winner, he was not without suffering. This made him He felt a lot better, which at least showed that his efforts were not in vain.
Without the blessing of the power of runes, the surging flames in the air began to shrink. Only the hotel was still burning fiercely. The flames that were enough to melt molten iron were unable to fully activate the carbonized Lester and flame resistance at this moment. What about Brand, who would be injured by the ignition? The two people in the fire just sat and lay down, waiting for the passage of time.
The sound of fire burning all around reminded Brand of the night when he returned to the village, the night when Keegan Noho died and Brand was resurrected.
Immediately afterwards, Brand thought of his teacher again, the wandering mage named 'Ritz' who always carried a huge magic scroll on his back and was both a teacher and a friend.
Brand closed his eyes and lay quietly on the ground.
"My teacher Ryze, he thought it was the world runes that changed my mind and turned me into Brand, who is greedy for power and does whatever it takes. In fact, it is not the case. When my mother Regina left this world, Shou Ji Genohe was already dead with his cold body. Brand was only inspired by the world runes from his body. He has always existed in the world. The person whom teacher Ryze saved in the cave was not Ji Gennuohe. Gennohe, it's Brand.
Brand is not Gigannohe who has gone bad, but Kigannohe is Brand who has no power to go bad.
My mother, Regina, is a doctor. She was caught by a bandit during a trip to collect medicine. After some humiliation, my mother returned to the village with scars all over her body. She watched her belly getting bigger day by day. The gossips among the villagers are becoming more and more unblocked.
My mother, who had suffered so much humiliation, could not be cruel enough to kill an innocent life. Amidst the curses and abuses, I came into this damn world. My birth brought deeper pain to my mother, Regina. If my death could make my mother's situation easier, I would rather die a hundred times, a thousand times, but unfortunately...it's useless at all.
I am the son of a robber, a bastard and a bastard from the village of Regern, a bastard destined to become another robber.
I haven't seen my father since I was a child. I only know that he is the bastard that other people in the village of Regan call him, a damn bastard, a bastard who insulted and tainted my mother.
Because my robber father and mother were secretly scolded as a frivolous and despicable bitch by others, even though the bitch they called went to the mountains to collect medicine to cure their diseases. Those who were harmed by bandits could not see anything. They cannot see the mother's pain despite her efforts. They can only see a good woman giving birth to a robber bastard, but they don't know that the humiliated woman actually wanted to kill herself..."
Feeling the rapidly passing vitality in his body, Brand felt a sense of tranquility in his heart. He wiped the corners of his eyes, only to find that his cheeks had already turned into scars burned by the flames.
The more tears they shed, the more they turn into dry scars.
"My mother chose to live in humiliation because of me. As a doctor, she couldn't accept that she would die without saving anything, nor could she watch her child lose his only relative.
In order to gain a foothold in Ruigen Village, my mother took me to the most remote part of the village.
Over the past ten years, my mother has helped hundreds of people for free. She has helped hundreds of people who were nice to her when they helped her pick medicines, and then cursed and called her a bitch when she turned around. After my mother died, those bastards whose wounds had healed didn't. When I came to see my mother, everyone looked at me and my family as if they were plagues.
For seven days, I guarded my mother's body and held my mother's cold right hand for seven days, just to see if people in this world still had a conscience.
Even in the cold Freljord, my mother's body had begun to rot. No one came. For seven days, there was no one. Even the century-old snow in Freljord did not have those beasts. What he did was chilling. From that moment on, Keegan Noho was dead. The only one alive was Brand, who was eager for revenge and wanted to be a robber. Brand knew that only by becoming a man like his father could the beast be defeated. We understand what it means to respect others.
On the eighth day, I buried my mother's body. On the ninth day, I set a fire at night and blocked the door of each house with a pile of firewood. I held the hatchet, held the wound hard, and killed her. I killed every guy who wanted to escape, they begged for mercy, they cried, they regretted, but no matter what they did, it made no sense. I just wanted to watch them die, because I am the son of a robber, and I am also a robber.
That day was the happiest day of Keegan Novo's life, because his enemies turned to ashes in their coffins.
The village of Regan was burned down and everyone died. Even without the power of the runes, Keegan Noho could do what Brand could do. "
To Brand's surprise, the enemy, who had lost all five senses and turned into a carbon stick like a blind man, stretched out his right hand to touch the floor with difficulty, moved forward inch by inch, and finally stopped on his right hand, gently Hold lightly.
As if he was being held by a piece of cold charcoal, Brand opened his eyes wide and tried to use his remaining strength to break free, but found that he couldn't break free with all his strength, and that his flesh and blood would fall off at any time. Holding his charred hands, he closed his eyes again, and Brand chose to let things go.
The last ray of rune power was about to leave the necrotic body. Brand found that his eyes were a little blurry. He heard the howling of wolves and the ethereal call of the sheep spirit. He knew that his own death had come, perhaps from very early on. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
"In this world, apart from my mother, the only person I'm sorry for is Teacher Ryze. If you can hear me, stranger, please help me tell Teacher Ryze that I'm sorry..."
The sound that reached deep into his soul suddenly stopped, and the feeling of obstruction in his hands disappeared. Lester felt a piece of ashes in the dark world, and after groping hard for a long time, Lester felt a piece of ashes from the ashes. A stubborn piece of hard stone.
The man gently held Keegan Noho, or rather the only thing left by Brand, with some sadness.
[I will take the words to you, Brand, and hope you can rest in peace in another world]
