The northern part of the Valoran continent, on the boundary of Freljord. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and the perennial white-headed Freljord Mountains are as quiet as ever.

In an instant, a natural vision, a sudden change in the wind and clouds!

The originally clear sky suddenly appeared a dark cloud, and this dark cloud and the white clouds that fluttered before, as if they were stirred by some force, were entangled together, and above the sky, a huge black and white whirlpool was formed!

One light and one dim, two rays of light rushed out from the center of the whirlpool, and they collided as if they were grappling, constantly colliding as they landed!

For a time, the world changed!

At the same time, two other places on the continent were aware of this extraordinary change at the same time.

On the highest prayer altar in Ionia, a man with outstretched arms and floating body, bathed in a piece of starlight, suddenly opened his eyes, and she landed gracefully from the starlight, and said aloud: "Light, come to earth!" ”

In a messy chemistry laboratory at the Zuan University of Science and Technology, a chemist was debugging the bubbling green reagent in a crystal bottle, when suddenly, the door of the laboratory was opened, and a bald chemist wearing a mask rushed in, shouting in a panic: "Teacher, the dark divine power detector has reacted!" ”

These two messages were delivered to Demacia and Noxus as quickly as possible.

For a time, the entire Valoran continent was surging with undercurrents!

Twenty years later.

On the eastern shore of the Sea of Conquest, on the southwestern coastal border of the Duchy of Demacia.

It is a port town called Nassau, and because it is located in the westernmost part of Demacia, the last ray of light in the whole of Demacia has disappeared here, so the scholars of Demacia have given it a poetic name - "The Last Hope".

But the people of Nassau itself were not impressed, for this town was at the same time far from the splendor of the King of Demacia and the jurisdiction of the Parliament, how could it be said that oh, yes, the continent of Valoran was so vast, and His Majesty was so far away.

Yes, the entire town of Nassau is firmly protected from the rear of Demacia, and there is no threat from all forces on the continent, except for arrogant pirates and bloodthirsty sharks from the sea.

Such a place that is so safe, but which the law does not care, will naturally breed a different life.

Yes, the town of Nassau has become an excellent place for all the underground merchants of the entire continent to trade!

In other words, this is a smuggling port and underground trading center under the protection of Demacia!

Every year, a large number of raw materials such as metals, ores, magic crystals and other raw materials are traded here silently.

Moreover, His Majesty Gavin III, the members of Parliament, and the scholars of the National Library of Demacia do not seem to know about it.

So the "last hope" may have been to the poetic scholars of Demacia, but the official title was inconvenient to talk about in public, so all those who did business in Nassau privately gave it another resounding name—'Sunset Port'.

It's a normal day in Nassau.

The town of Nassau is as prosperous as ever, especially the bluestone road that leads to the dock called the Arrival Avenue, which is crowded with all kinds of carriages and passing merchants and their subordinates from all over the mainland, of course, the carriages have only samples of goods, and the real goods can only be pulled to the street to be sold, but can only be placed on the ships parked at the docks.

In the crowded crowd of Arrivals Boulevard, a skinny blonde boy drowned in it.

The blonde boy's face was full of anxiety, and his two small hands kept pushing aside the crowd in front of him, separating a narrow path for his thin body, but he was still staggered by the crowd, but he still resolutely shuttled in the direction of the dock.

Finally, with great effort, he squeezed out of the crowded sea of people, and in front of the blonde boy, instead of the vast sea of people, it was a magnificent, blue and boundless sea.

Yes, it is the West Sea of Valoran, the Sea of the Conquerors.

On the clear blue coastline, sunset ports are lined up.

Although the port of Nassau Town is not large, with only seven berths, it is overcrowded all year round, but fortunately, the coastline of Nassau Town Port is deep, so outside each berth, there are merchant ships lined up to get on and off their goods.

The blonde boy stood there and took a few breaths, and in between breaths, his eyes swept over the crowded dock, then he pulled up his linen robe, roughly wiped the sweat from his face, and then climbed up to the command platform with difficulty.

Standing on a high podium, adjusting to his rapid breathing caused by running and crowding, he kept his eyes wide open and looked back and forth at several berths, as if looking for something.

Eventually, he set his sights on berth three. The anxious look on his face, the slightly frowning brow suddenly loosened, and the small mouth that was pursed also opened a slight smile, he gently lifted the wide linen robe, and rushed to the third berth at a trot.

"Big, big!"

Seeing that he was about to reach the third berth, the blonde boy waved his hand and shouted.

The merchant ship at berth No. 3 was loading and boarding the ship, and the shouts of the blonde boy were heard from afar, and on the wooden plank leading to the deck of the merchant ship, a huge boy carrying two bags of cargo placed the two bags of cargo lightly at his feet, and looked back at the shouting place.

It is an angular and very resolute face.

Her tan hair looked a little messy, and under her clean eyebrows were a pair of blue eyes that were as clean as the sea, a nose that was not straight, and a mouth with a hint of immaturity.

Not exaggerated, nor belittled, if this face is placed in the imperial city of Demacia, in the children of the nobility, it can also be regarded as a handsome face.

And the owner of this handsome face, I don't know if it is the reason for carrying goods at the dock all year round, has broad shoulders, strong muscles, and a height that surpasses his peers.

The blonde boy panted and ran in front of the big man, and at a glance, he was only as tall as the big man's waist.

The big man reached out and touched the blonde boy's blond hair, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Charles, it can't be my sister bullying you again, right?" ”

The blonde boy named Charles snorted, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the big man touching his head, or whether he was bullied by his sister, he tilted his head and said dissatisfiedly: "No, can you squat down, tilt your head and talk very tired." ”

The big guy scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, forget I'm much taller than you." After that, he squatted down, and after squatting, the height of the two people was slightly unified.

Charles looked at the big man with a smirk, pursed his lips, and muttered, "It's two years older than me, and it looks like it's twenty years older than me." ”

The big guy smiled awkwardly again, and asked: "Why are you running to the dock to find me, if you let the boss see it, you will have to deduct my salary again, last time my sister came to play with me, she has already been deducted ten copper coins." ”

Charles sniffled with his finger and said, "You know the money, hmph, you know, early this morning, I met a strange man in a cloak in the town, and he asked me how to get to the mayor's hall, and I saw that his cloak seemed to be very valuable, so I wanted to show him the way, maybe he would give me a few copper coins if I brought it." ”

"Hehe, then I talked about some roads, and he laughed when he heard it, and sure enough, I asked him to take him there. I took him all the way and showed him all the places in our town of Nassau, and when I got to the mayor's hall, he said to me, 'Thank you for leading the way, wise Charles,' and gave me a coin. ”

Charles said as he pulled a coin out of his bosom and said excitedly, "Do you know what he gave me?" One gold coin! It's a gold coin, not a copper coin! Charles took out the glittering gold coin, bit it down hard with his teeth, then shook it in front of the big man, and said, "See, it's really a gold coin!" It's true! ”

The big man looked at the gold coin in Charles's hand, but there was no trace of greed in his eyes, and he said seriously: "Charles, if it is really just because of this gold coin, I will be deducted another ten copper coins, then my sister's tuition for the next semester may not be enough." If you want to celebrate, come to my house tonight. And you're running around like this with a gold coin, aren't you afraid of being robbed by others? With that, the big guy got up and went back to carry the goods.

Seeing this, Charles was anxious, and while hiding the gold coin in his arms, he grabbed the big man and said, "Eh, I said you didn't pay attention to what I just said, and the man finally said to me, 'Thank you for leading the way, smart Charles', don't you think it's strange that I didn't tell him my name along the way?" How did he know my name! ”

The big man was thinking about his ten copper coins, pointed to the freight boss and whispered: "Maybe you said it yourself and you forgot it, okay, you see that the boss has looked at me, and I want to go back to work." ”

When Charles saw it, he hurriedly pulled the big man and said, "Eh, don't go, the mayor will come out to meet this person, do you know what the mayor said when he saw this person?" ”

The big guy picked up the two bags of goods he had just put down, looked at the boss in the distance, and found that the boss didn't look at this side anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "What did the mayor say?" ”

Charles watched the big man carry the goods and walk towards the merchant ship, but he was not in a hurry, he crossed his hands on his chest, smiled strangely, and said slowly: "I heard the mayor say, 'Hello, noble mage. And, more importantly, I heard the man reply, 'I'm not a noble mage, I'm just a wandering mage on the mainland.'" ”
