Even though he had forgotten many things, Lester could still find the path hidden among the trees and vines of deadly vines at a glance.
Seemingly recognizing that the human being in front of him cut himself into countless pitiful caterpillars with a knife more than 400 years ago, the greedy flowers and vines that sucked human memory took the initiative to retreat to save the lives of the man moving forward. Getting out of the way, from a visual point of view, it was like the garden was actively welcoming its owner, which also dissipated a lot of Lester's anger of incompetence, and he finally regained some of his past feelings.
At the end of the path is a small pool. On the edge of the pool are gentle epiphyllums that are as clear as crystal. The lovely flower cores shining with magical luster are swaying gently in the breeze of the garden. The light elves are in the dark dense forest. They are hovering together inseparably, just like a lost friend clinging to one's side, conveying a warmth that is difficult to touch again.
"I want to see the night-blooming cereus."
The man finally recalled what the woman had said, and also recalled the woman's name. This name was very similar to Elena, with brilliant blond hair and a pair of sad eyes full of mist.
Her name is Elena, and she is a huntress from the Kinkou sect.
He killed her because of self-righteous love.
"I'm sorry, I'm an asshole."
The man was minding his own business and whispered softly to the epiphyllum blooming in front of him. The epiphyllum gently deflected its petals, as if it understood the man's whisper.
"If I can win this war, then we can meet again one day. If that day comes, I will definitely pray for your forgiveness, Elena, and I will plant your favorite epiphyllum in In our home, you will always be in a good mood.”
Caressing the small petals of Epiphyllum, Lester closed his eyes.
"Even for the arrival of that day, I will not allow myself to fail. I will make up for all my regrets."
"Shashasha..."
A slightly stronger forest wind blew, and it seemed that he had received some encouragement. Lester repeated it again in a descriptive tone.
"In this war, even if I become a sinner, I will never lose."
…
Until he left the Garden of Forgetfulness, Lester could not see Pansi Jina, who came and went without a trace, and did not know that Shia, who was silent, had actually been chatting with Vastaya Shari Exile for a long time.
After passing through the hills of the Garden of Forgetfulness, Lester and Shia truly entered the sacred forest of Omikayalan.
"Shia, our goal is the five gate guide stones in Omikayalan. In order to facilitate our movement, we act in the name of husband and wife. We first find a place to settle down and integrate into the village.
The Gate guide stone set up by the protoss must have astral defense magic. I need time to slowly crack it. During this period, we try not to meet Xia Rui in the village of the ancestors to avoid any accidents. "
"But coming to Hit, wouldn't it be more convenient if I went to explain it to Omelia and the others?"
Lester shook his head at the somewhat naive Shia and explained patiently.
"We don't know what is going on in the Village of the Ancients today, and I don't want to get involved in any disputes between Vastaya and humans. We can't do anything that is easy to attract attention, because there are eyes and ears of the protoss everywhere here. ,
It's important to crack the Gate's guide stone and get the world rune fragments inside, and evacuate here as soon as possible. "
Lester has not told anyone, including Shia and Xina, about the agreement between him and Lot. This is a more important secret than the ancient ruins under the Gorel Mountains.
"But without the guiding stone, it will be very difficult for the vastaya people here to travel."
"Are you happy because someone else built a dragon egg hatching workshop in your dragon's nest that requires a fee? Without the hatching workshop, you won't be able to raise dragons? Without the gate guide stone, you will eat and sleep here. , the sleeping Vastaya lazy people just walked a few more steps. The wandering mage Ryze almost traveled all over the world on his legs, and I never saw him using a guide stone. He didn't just walk the same way. Very happy?"
Ryze, who was recovering from his injuries in Freljord, got up from the abandoned and dilapidated tent. After the lonely man sneezed, the cold wind outside the tent poured into the tent one after another, and Ryze's nose was filled with snot. It's as obscene as free ramen, and it looks a bit miserable.
After being injured by his rebellious apprentice Brand, he has not recovered yet. Fortunately, his body has long been alienated by the power of runes. Even if he is fatally injured, he will have a day to recover, but this day is a bit long.
"I feel a force in the dark... Who is pulling the thread of fate??"
Not knowing that his casual words would force Ruiz to lie down for another month, Lester asked further.
"Do you understand what I mean? From the beginning, the Geth Guide Stone did not belong to Vastaya. The reason why the Guide Stone appeared in Omikayalan was just because the protoss used this place as a testing ground, so I wouldn’t have any moral problem removing the guiding stone.”
Shia nodded, then shook her head.
"But you didn't let me lay a dragon egg either?"
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Lester pretended not to hear.
"That's right, the protoss relies on the Gate Guide Stone to monitor this paradise. I also know that destroying the guide stone is disgraceful, but there is nothing we can do about it. The stronger we are, the weaker the enemy will be. If something happens If we let our petty emotions go unchecked, we won’t be able to accomplish anything.”
"Okay, come Hit, I understand, you do it."
After convincing the kind-hearted dragon girl, Lester took out the rune crystal disk and quickly locked in a direction.
"Remember, from now on, your name is Xiao Xia, and my name is Xiao Laini. If someone bullies me, you have to protect me, because in Omikayalan, humans are the weakest party, do you understand?"
"Whoa whoa."
After three months of secret visits and investigations, the elusive Lester took Shia to settle down in a human village. The location of the village is not far or close to the southernmost Gate guide stone, and the distance is exactly one day. .
Unaware that the 'wormhole' through which he travels has been targeted by a black-hearted thief, Omikayalan is still in a delicate state of peace. Both the confused humans and the fearful vastayas are secretly saving money. Use your own strength to prepare for big things to happen.
Only the Xia Rui people in the Village of the Ancestors understood that the sacred tree was accelerating its decline and that natural magic had entered a long period of sluggishness.
…
The Emerald Territory has begun to have closer contact with the Supreme Command of the Immortal Fortress, and military mobilizations have become more frequent. I don’t know when, rumors of the resumption of war once again spread on the Valoran continent. Such rumors naturally follow the path that can only exist in legends. The mysterious society spreads to the depths of the dark manor.
The Dark Manor is located in the lower area of the Immortal Fortress. The manor with the dark style of the Dark Ages is located in absolute darkness. The manor is full of deadly killing mechanisms and magic seals that draw human life force. Even if you are proficient in powerful and complex witchcraft, Mages of magic are not immune.
The bones and wails of the intruders will be buried by the cleverly designed downward chute mechanism (which can be understood as a transmission waterwheel mechanism using groundwater as the power source. The mechanism will open and close regularly according to the rise and fall of groundwater to clean up those who died in the murder trap. bones), disappearing into the boundless sea of flowers.
Since its birth, the manor has existed in the forbidden realm as the absolute secret of Noxus, and the epic it has written is second only to the ancient and majestic Immortal Fortress, and on par with the Black Rose Mage Academy.
At this moment, the fallen dark manor in the flower garden once again welcomed its only owner.
As one of the masterminds behind the Immortal Fortress, Vladimir Kama Rasvich was well aware that the Empire's armies were gathering and a new continental war was about to begin.
But he doesn't care.
Yes, don't care.
The only thing he cares about is his power, his collection, and his lost memory. If he has to choose one of the three to keep, he would rather lose his power and all his collection than lose it at any time. The memory remains.
In a pavilion surrounded by rose beds, magic fluorite emits a cool blue light.
The black-haired young man is sitting on a custom-made wooden rocking chair engraved with Kamavian royal patterns. He is wearing a gorgeous costume of ancient nobles with dark red as the main color, which is as deep as blood under the ice blue light. The man with a melancholy face is playing with it. With the empty pointed ampoule at his fingertips, he only needs to inject a little bit of 'living things' with magic power, and he can keep this unforgettable emotion with him forever.
"Lord Vladimir, it's getting late. The pale lady will also come to the banquet this time. You asked me to remind you that you'd better not be late."
I don't know when, a tall woman wearing a crimson cloak came to Vladimir. The woman knelt down on one knee, held the man's right hand in reverence, and kissed the back of the hand.
The man caressed the woman's smooth and delicate face like a pet, and said softly in the woman's adoring eyes.
"Clauris, I still need a dance partner tonight. Would you like to dance with me under the moonlight?"
Gently pressing the man's hand on his right cheek, Cloris, who had wavy blond hair, whispered.
"Master, I feel that only the pale lady in this world is qualified to be your dance partner. What's more, I am just a mortal and have not become your vassal. Dancing with you will only tarnish your holy soul."
"Is this what you really think? Cloris?"
Seeing disappointment on the face of the creator of the Scarlet Secret Society, the great Blood Ancestor and the Cult Leader, Cloris gritted her teeth and nodded. She could not deny her true thoughts.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Shaking his head, Vladimir pulled the woman kneeling on the ground up, looked at her several times, and said nothing.
"Go and get ready. We can't keep our guests waiting tonight."
"yes."
…
A luxurious carriage with a black rose coat of arms stopped at the entrance of a luxurious mansion. A woman in a floor-length black skirt, Shi Shiran, stepped out of the carriage. The handmade long skirt and the flat-top gauze hat of an aristocratic lady on her head covered the most mysterious part of a woman. Implementing the mysterious style of black rose.
The pale pink lips are as captivating as the crescent moon. The woman is wearing a rose-shaped half-face mask. The green jade fingers under the black gauze gloves are supporting the shoulders of the female attendants. Her movements are noble.
The two Scarlet Society mages in charge of security work looked at each other and did not dare to look further. They quickly took two steps forward to the carriage and bowed.
"Ms. Rosa, please come in."
With a slight nod of her head, Luo Lisa walked into one of the most secretive areas of activity in Noxus. The vermilion withered solid wood door blocked countless big shots who were eager to get a glimpse of the extraordinary. Only the real people in power are qualified to enter this place.
The location of the Scarlet Feast is located in the old aristocratic district of the underground city of the Immortal Fortress. For Luo Lisha, it is a very suitable place for the shady blood wizard to do small things.
The first floor is a gorgeously decorated lobby. The bright yellow lights make the lobby as bright as day, reflecting the splendor. Various works of art from different eras, and precious ancient rune floor tiles can be seen everywhere, setting off the visitors with their own humbleness. noble.
The Dark Knight's armor is hung on the armor stand, and the flame-shaped sword that has beheaded countless people exudes a breathtaking cold light. There is no doubt that the former owner of this sword was a burly and invincible iron-blooded man from the Dark Ages. War General, for hundreds of years, the weapons and armor of the Iron-Blooded War General have been casually hung not far from the gate for others to watch and judge. The owner of the trophy does not seem to regard this piece of historical and cultural significance as related to glory at all. The couplet utensils should be something precious.
All visitors know that the awe-inspiring armor and weapons in front of them are just the collection of the owner of this place, nothing more.
Most of the marble sculptures and murals adhere to the dark style of the old aristocracy. There are very few healthy statues in the stone statues. They are beautiful and beautiful, but only have broken limbs. Only the most experienced executioners can understand what the broken limbs are. In what desperate way, it broke away from the body. Similar to sculptures, most of the various murals have themes of tragedy, poignancy, and love that does not end well.
As for why the owner of this place is so fond of tragic stories, most of the guests do not know, and they will only deepen their awe of the hidden things after watching. However, Luo Lisha knows that the reason why her partner likes to look at himself in pity is because he is "proficient in The dark wizard of "Life Magic" is an idiot who can't even remember his own name when he sleeps. He can only remember his name by writing and drawing in his diary.
Even the name 'Scarlet Society' has no style. Compared with the majestic 'Emerald Collar', it sounds like a vampire rat huddled in a dark corner, hiding from the light.
After just a simple comparison, Luo Lisa found that compared with that man, her partner was not even a bit inferior.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
"Ms. Luo Lisa, the banquet has not officially started yet. The leader has reserved a rest room for you on the third floor. Please come with me."
A female scarlet cultist noticed the most distinguished visitor tonight and took the initiative to lead the way. Luo Lisha nodded and followed him up the spiral red carpet stairs to the third floor.
"The banquet will start in half an hour. Ms. Rosa, do you have any other instructions?"
"Yes, ask your leader to come out early and don't make me wait too long. I have something to talk to him about today."
"Ms. Rosa, I'll bring the message."
