Perhaps because this land is filled with various natural spirits and native magic, and the entire land is immersed in the ocean of magic, Annie discovered that the animals in this land of Ionia are very different from those in other places. Same!
Under the influence of the magic ocean, they not only possess many strange abilities with varying powers similar to the species' innate magic, just like the magical creatures she deliberately transformed in Demacia? Moreover, they are far more intelligent than creatures in other places. There are even many animals. Are they actually intelligent human species?
In this land, they all have a common name, that is - Vastayans!
Not just animals, even plants...
The plants growing in the magical ocean have even begun to give birth to primitive spirituality. Although they may not be as capable of moving and talking as the tree people Annie has seen, little Annie is now This little girl named Ahri has a tree hole or tree house 'built' by the branches of tree vines naturally entwined with dense rain-proof leaves on the top. It is the best proof of the spirituality of plants!
Of course, even if Anne herself has better ways to verify these strange phenomena, she is currently busy with more important 'big things' and does not intend to dwell on those insignificant things.
No matter how magical this land is, it's not what she needs to care about. She just needs to play happily and go around and eat here. As for other things, whether they are animals or plants, then None of it matters!
"Uh-huh……"
o(?′Θ?Θ`?)oIt’s so delicious…
"It's such a beautiful little house, but it doesn't have a toilet or a bathroom, so it might be a little troublesome... By the way, Miss Ah Li, are you the only one in your house? Also, these sun fruits are really delicious. Well, it must have a lot of magic and fire power. If you eat one, your whole body will feel warm. If you can transport it to Freljord across the sea, it will definitely make you big. Rich!"
(((ψ(?′?▽?`?)o)))
Little Annie was a guest at the home of Miss Ari, who had nine big furry tails trailing behind the big round butt in front of her. While eating her food, she looked at her strange tree house or like a little adult. He commented on the tree hole and the fruits that the other party brought out to entertain him.
She felt that if those traders from Avarosa could come to Ionia and transport a shipload of sun fruits back to the Freljord in the ice and snow, and ensure that they would not spoil or rot. If so, it must be more expensive than those Zhenbing ones, right?
Of course, this is little Annie's own idea. She can't guarantee whether it will be like that... Anyway, if it was in Freljord, the traders would have had this kind of fruit in their caravans. If so, she would definitely be willing to spend a large amount of gold coins to buy them, even if she exchanged them for gold coins of the same weight, there would be no problem.
Thinking of the wonderful taste and experience of enjoying this sun fruit in a world of ice and snow, she almost couldn't help but have the urge to teleport herself back to the ice and snow plateau of Freljord...
It's a pity that she held back in the end.
Because, she wouldn't just throw herself into a trap and run back to be caught by that bad old man named Ryze! Although she, Queen Anne, is not afraid of the other party, nor does she care much about a certain orange world rune stone... However, she racked her brains and finally succeeded in getting something, even if she didn't use it, even if she just glanced at it, she would not know it. It's so rare that even if it's thrown away or given to someone else, she won't give it back easily!
"..."
After hearing the little girl's words, the girl who was still a little surprised and uneasy subconsciously looked down at an accessory on her waist. It was a pair of twin gemstones that could be spliced together, her most cherished thing.
"I have no family, I'm the only one here..."
Ahri, who had successfully wrung out the water droplets on his body, his furry wet ears, hair, and the nine big white tails behind him that were also dripping with water droplets, heard the little girl's words. After that, I couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
family……
That is a very luxurious word for her...
Because she really doesn’t have any family, at least, it’s always been like that in her memory... She was abandoned in the snow-covered woods in northern Ionia since she was a child, with a group of primitive and ignorant ice fields. Foxes...until she grows up and learns to extract magic from the world around her and use it to shape balls of magic to attack her prey...
"Eh?"
∑(￣ω￣〃)ゝ?
"Don't you have a family? That's really pitiful..."
(°ー°〃)
"Let's do this, Miss Ah Li, I will be your friend from now on! Of course, you can also treat me as your family!"
o(?????????)o?
To be honest, Annie really likes this little sister with nine big fluffy tails, not because she is good-looking, nor because she looks pitiful, nor because her tails feel so good. Comfortable, very soft, very smooth, very...
(????)
Anyway, she definitely didn't like him specifically because she thought that he could be used as a pillow when sleeping at night, or as a fluffy 'automatic constant temperature' warm quilt!
(…)
??ˉ?ˉ??
"Family..."
"Annie..."
"I am actually a monster...a man-eating monster...I am destined to have no family or friends..."
Although the other party said this, Ahri was a little surprised, but after recalling the reason why she lived in seclusion here, she had to lower the pair of fox ears on her head and the pair of fox ears that were originally dancing behind her butt. Nine big tails that are gradually drying.
If the little girl in front of her was not an ordinary person, and the other person seemed to have powerful magical abilities and a faint sense of danger that made her feel dangerous, I am afraid that she would have found ways to absorb the other person's life and essence, and enjoy the kind of feeling that always made her feel like Are you lost in the infatuated primitive hunting desire that you can’t stop?
but,
She resisted the urge after all, because she knew that it was wrong to do so, and the reason why she lived in seclusion here alone was to overcome and control her cruel and primitive desires.
"monster?"
(′?o?`)?
"Still eating people?!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"Miss Ah Li, let me tell you, eating people is wrong! Although it is normal for people to eat animals and for animals to eat people in turn, you are different! Most of your body is humanoid A creature, how can you, who is also an intelligent creature, eat human flesh?"
s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ
Anne didn't know what delicious food there was for people, so she felt that it was necessary for her to correct this beautiful young lady's dietary concepts!
This newly born island continent of Ionia is full of delicious animals of all sizes and the delicious plant fruits she is eating right now. If you are hungry, just go out and catch a few good-looking ones. Wouldn’t it be nice to roast or boil the cute little animals and eat them? Why do they have to eat people?
For example, the giant dragon bird flying in the sky in the forest outside, the 'little matchmaker' squirrel climbing on the tree, the spotted deer running on the ground with beautiful red antlers and long feathers but unable to fly, Or the big fish without scales swimming in the water, the big turtles with rock shells, etc. They look so beautiful and there must be a lot of meat, so why not eat them?
"..."
"I didn't eat their flesh. What I ate was their life essence and soul memory fragments..."
"I even forcibly stole the life essence and souls of everyone in the entire village on a moonless night..."
"I am actually the legendary nine-tailed demon fox that eats people on the continent of Ionia..."
"I am a monster..."
I don’t know why, but Ah Li was able to let go of his most basic vigilance and caution in front of this little girl, and directly revealed his secret.
before,
After plundering and absorbing the essence of a hunter, she learned the terrifying legend about a demon fox from the other's memory... It was precisely from that time that she truly understood What kind of existence is he? He once felt guilty and deeply blamed for his behavior of preying on other people's lives and souls.
She was once very worried that she would really turn into the monster in the legend of her prey, that she would really be a cruel man-eating monster... Therefore, she also once wanted to endure it by force, and wanted to To eat only ordinary animals and plants and their spirits like other vastayas...
However, as long as she goes too long without eating, she will feel her strength gradually dissipate, and the cruel addiction will torture her day and night, leaving her unable to eat and sleep, and she will have to go and eat again. Hunting for intelligent prey and enjoying a meal that leaves her conflicted.
She also tried to control herself, grabbing only a small part of the life essence and soul fragments of her prey, and only absorbing one or two pieces of memories without directly killing them... At that time, her attempt almost succeeded. Understand.
But the good times didn't last long. The endless hunger that was like addiction was constantly tormenting her, and soon made her succumb to the primitive temptation of greed, and did the thing that killed her overnight. The wrong done by an entire village made her suffer from the torture of her conscience...
It is precisely because of this that she has never been able to forgive herself, grieve for her own existence, and repent for her evil deeds... Therefore, she had to hide in the forest, hiding alone in this heart that was willing to receive her. She lives in isolation in a cave in a big tree, hoping that this solitary life away from all kinds of human beings will allow her to successfully control her cruel and cold desire to eat people.
"So that's what it is..."
∑(￣□￣;)
This little fox lady with nine big tails turned out to be a guy who is addicted to sucking people's lives and souls. Just like the high elves with magical concealment she had seen before, they would become extremely uncomfortable and easy to enter after not sucking for a day. Various bad conditions lead to the decline of magic power?
"but……"
"There doesn't seem to be any good solution right now. If I think of it, I will definitely tell you!!"
(*^﹏^*)
If it is the kind of magic hidden like the high elves in the world of Azeroth, then it is simple. Just get a sunwell or a magic source of the same attribute energy. Then the omnipotent Annie For the Queen, that is not too difficult.
However, if the other party is as obsessed with absorbing other people's souls, vitality and memory fragments as they are now, she has no choice... Although her copied soul gems contain huge energy, they do not have the other party's energy. The kind of soul fragments and life force you need.
"..."
"Annie, can you show me your stone?"
In fact, from the beginning, when Ahri was at the small pond, she noticed the strange stone in the other person's hand that was always exuding powerful magic power. After all, it was very conspicuous.
At this time, the little girl was casually placing the stone beside the table in her home, which was formed by the twisted roots of the tree spirit. As long as she stretched out her hand, she would definitely be able to get it!
However, she was a little afraid...
"Stone?"
゛('◇')?
Anne subconsciously followed the gaze of the other person's eyes and looked to her side... There, there was a stone emitting orange light that she had thrown there, and there was a mysterious rune mark on it. , magic energy is continuously dissipating from it, even in Ionia, a land with powerful magic tides, it is particularly dazzling and eye-catching.
"ah!?"
"So you were talking about it... It is a world rune stone with powerful energy. I found it from... from an ownerless iron box! Now, there is a very bad old man who is looking for it. it……"
?o(^?^*)o
Now, you don't need to think too much about Annie to know that Ryze's bald head will definitely jump to his feet with anger and start wandering around the world looking for her and the rune stone in her hand, right?
Of course, she doesn't like this kind of thing, and she also wants to return it to the other party, and let the bad old man take it to a place where the so-called forbidden ancient tree grows and seal it properly, but... right now She had just gotten it not long ago, and she returned it so quickly before she could pull off that face, so she made that bad old man laugh for nothing!
"Annie..."
After the two sides gradually became familiar with each other, Ahri let down his guard, his eyes full of surprise, and stared at the rune stone with curiosity, greed and cunning.
Of course, greed, cunning, etc., were just the true expression of her nature, and she had never thought of making any crooked plans.
"Can you...can you show it to me?"
Ahri didn't care what the name of this strange stone exuding powerful magic was, or how the other party discovered it. She just wanted to take a good look at it to see if it could be useful to her. Can't she be allowed to absorb the magic power from it so that she can slowly give up her bad 'hobby'?
Because Ahri could tell that this little girl didn't seem to attach much importance to the stone. Maybe she could use some of her collection to exchange it with the other party?
"!!"
"No! You can't touch it!!"
Σ(?д?llll)
"why not?"
Ah Li was puzzled. She almost touched it with her outstretched hand, but in the end, the little girl with quick eyes and quick hands snatched it away first.
"It's not impossible!"
(｀ε′)o
"Why?"
It’s just a stone, why don’t you show it to yourself?
Ah Li felt very aggrieved by this... Fortunately, she had warmly entertained the other party just now and told him all her secrets...
"For no reason, just because your current magic is too rough, and your spirit is not tough enough, and your soul is mixed with other people's fragments? So, if you touch it casually, you will definitely be in bad luck. !!”
o((⊙﹏⊙))o
In the past, Annie really didn't believe what the bad old man Ryze explained to her. However, after actually obtaining a complete world rune and studying its effectiveness, she understood the old mage's explanation. time worries.
Although her powerful Lady Queen Anne would not be easily affected by anything, nor would she accept the meaningless power of that tattered rune, a certain bad old man's original behavior The worry is not unreasonable.
Therefore, Miss Ahli, who is not very strong now, definitely cannot and should not touch this world rune easily. That is not a joke. If you are not careful, big trouble will happen!
"Sure enough, I am a monster, no one will like me..."
The pair of fox ears and nine big fluffy tails that Ahri had just raised drooped again, looking listless and pitiful.
She felt that what the other party said must be an excuse, a poor excuse...
Fortunately, the other party just kept saying that he was willing to be his friend and her own family... But now, he didn't even want to show her a stone... She just wanted to see it, but she didn't have to. Take it away!
"hateful!!"
Σ(((つ｀Д′)つ
Anne suddenly discovered that now...she seemed to be playing a role she had known before? Just like the bad old man with a bald head who refused to show her the stone?
"It's okay to show you, but first you have to show me why you have nine tails? Can't you just have one?!"
-=????=????(〃??ω??)ノ?
Anne has seen many animals with a tail, such as tigers, foxes, orcs, draenei, snake monsters, etc., so they are not a rare thing! However, this was the first time she saw a humanoid fox with nine tails!
So, out of anger, she threw away the stone in her hand, flew forward, and planned to lift off the other party's skirt, as if she wanted to study it carefully?
If possible, it would be best to cut off a few or all of them to make a small skirt or scarf for Queen Anne... She likes the smooth touch! Anyway, you won't die without a tail. Look at Queen Anne, she has never had a tail, so there is no need to grow that extra thing!
"ah!!"
"don't want!!!"
Not caring to look at the world rune that was thrown aside, Ahri immediately pushed the other person's face away with both hands, protecting his tail tightly.
"Hello!"
o(｀ω′*)o
"Show me your tail and see if you don't die!!"
?(ψ??ˇ??)?
Lady Queen Anne said: The scissors conjured in her hands are very sharp, and have been treated with advanced disinfection and painkillers from the Koprulu Star District, ensuring that there will be no bleeding, no pain, and no round curls. Nine ugly scars left behind my butt!
"!!"
"Stop! I don't want your stone anymore!!"
If the price of getting that stone is the possibility of losing his tail or all the hair on his tail, then Ahri will definitely not agree!
"Just cut it off and I'll help you grow it back later?"
~(￣0￣)/?
"Don't even think about it!!"
soon,
Deep in the dense forest of Ionia, in the beautiful primitive garden in front of a certain nine-tailed demon fox's house, the two of them soon played together in the dense sea of jungle flowers...
As for the treasure that a certain wandering mage worked hard to get, even at the cost of killing his old friend, it was no longer known where it was being thrown. If you knew that the World Rune Stone was abandoned so quickly by a bad little girl, I'm afraid that someone who has traveled to every corner of Rune Land is determined to protect the world, and is currently doing so. The wandering archmage who was so anxious on the ice fields of Laeljord must have vomited blood three times and collapsed in a snow pit, right?
