Chapter 367: The Colossus of Justice Galio
Browse the attribute information of the [Vanguard Battle Banner (Banner)] transmitted by the system.
Modrian immediately realized that this was definitely an extremely functional banner, especially for soldiers who were accustomed to charging into battle, and the damage buff effect and enhanced defense effect could exponentially increase their combat survivability.
He even began to imagine the battle between the Trefali Legionnaires and the Dreadnought Vanguard Legionnaires under the Vanguard Banner, which might really be as stated in the notes of the Vanguard Banner.
To have it is to have victory!
The azure blue card dissipated, and the dark green data stream depicted a six-pointed star circle in the clearing of the secret room, and then a banner about two feet long manifested in the clearing.
The stiff flagpole is the right size for an adult to hold with one hand. At the top of the flagpole is a square flag made of the finest linen, with mysterious patterns depicted on the surface of the flag. Even if there is no wind blowing, the flag sways gently, and faint energy fluctuations float around.
"Very good banner, judging by its style, it may be from the ancient tribe of Freljord, maybe even older!" Darius spoke suddenly, some familiar tribal style, having seen similar banners in the battlefields of Freljord.
Hearing this, Modrian turned his head to look at Darius, and said with a smile: "This may also be fate guiding us in the direction of our progress!" ”
After the [Vanguard Battle Banner (Banner)] in front of him materialized, he became more and more sure that this draw was probably related to the main quest and his own determination.
What is the meaning of the flag and the furnace?
It's a war on the horizon!

【Ding..... Congratulations to the host and get the Thorn Vest*1! 】
Earthy brown cards appear inside the system items, rough lines depicting an extremely savage armor, and the barbs on the shoulders shimmer with a chill.
Modrian smiled weirdly, a strange smile, as if a mixture of emotions were mixed together, joy, excitement, memories and happiness, etc.
Unexpectedly, he didn't expect to get the [Thorn Vest] in the advanced random drawing.
Now there is only one ninja foot (cloth armor child) to make a family of three, and it is also the three favorite pieces of equipment of the high-scoring bastard anchor in the previous life.
Modrian's consciousness touched the earthy brown card, and the card shattered into a stream of dark green data, and the same scene emerged, after the six-pointed star array shattered, the Thorn Vest manifested in his hand.
The armor was very hard, not made of steel, but rather of some unknown leather, but none of this detracted from the powerful properties of the Thorn Vest.
【Thorn Vest】

[Note: Very good magic item, at least it can ensure that you take damage from enemies and give them damage in return!] 】
"There are three more chances, and I hope there will be a good harvest!" Modrian counted the successive high-level random draws, but never drew heroes.
Is it the grace of Lady Luck who is not there? Punish me, a non-believer! He was joking with himself, and his expression was relaxed, at least the harvest was good now.

【Ding..... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Alchemy Technology Research Team*1! 】
Steampunk cards hovering in view, steel machines in the background display a patchwork aesthetic and a grotesque violent aesthetic, crowded crowds gather in a seemingly small but crowded environment of all kinds of machinery, and the corroded and aging smoke exhaust network leaks various colors of smoke and dust, filtering the light from above into eerie colors.
[Alchemy Technology Research Team: A team of alchemy technology researchers active in Iron Glass City, in the face of the loose alliance of the powerful alchemy barons in Zu'an, they have to huddle together to keep warm, but don't underestimate their strength, they can survive in Zu'an, they are a top team. 】
Zaun! Alchemy technology!
Modrian subconsciously thought of Sinjid, the previous muttering and complaining was still in his ears, and now he should not worry.
Looking at the steel city in the background of the card, most of the building structures are dominated by steel grids. Although the building's bolted structure provides only the most primitive function, the inhabitants of the building have created an astonishing architectural wonder that pierces the fog and reaches into the sky.
Iron Glass City! He was curious about the environment, the steampunk architecture, and the 'great' Frankenstein that was born inside.

【Ding..... Congratulations to the host and get the Hero Card: Galio! 】
Well? Well!?
Modrian retracted his thoughts and looked at the gold and silver cards in front of him with a slightly shocked expression, and the impactful colossus stood in the center of the card.
The golden metal wings obscured the azure sky, the white clouds surged, the birds soared, and the shadows could be seen in the majestic giant city of Demacia.
The Colossus of Justice Galio!
The excitement that overflowed was shown on the white face, Modrian couldn't bear it anymore, a silent smile bloomed, his fingers lightly touched the gold and silver card, the hard texture brought a sense of protection, and the news of the system flowed into his mind.
......................
The giant stone statue of Galio is always on the watchful eye in the capital of Demacia.
And the legend about Galio dates back to the time of the Rune Wars. The refugees of Valoran, devastated by the war, have all shunned the destructive power of magic and are looking for a peaceful place to settle.
In the western part of Valoran, a group of refugees is being hunted down by the vicious Black Magic Warband. After days of sleepless trekking, the refugees were forced to hide in an ancient wood, where the trees had long since dried up and weathered into fossils. The mages chased them here, only to find that their magic had no effect in the woods.
The fossils of these trees seem to be natural magical barriers, and any spell will be muted when struck. The refugees were no longer lambs to the slaughter, and they raised their swords and drove the dark mages out of the land.
The first settlers used these magical woods to make many types of armor. Later, they discovered that the fossils of this tree could be mixed with lime to make forbidden stones, i.e., the material is highly resistant to magic.
It will also be the cornerstone of a burgeoning civilization, building the walls of the cradle kingdom of Demacia.
The Demacians were no longer afraid of magic invading their homeland. On the rare occasions when disputes need to be resolved beyond the borders, the Demacian army has proven to be a warrior.
Unfortunately, as long as the enemy uses magic, the Demacian soldiers are left to the limit. They must find a way to make their forbidden walls work on the front lines as well.
The sculptor Du Lang accepted the commission to design and make some kind of protection for the army using the Forbidden Magic Stone. Two years later, the majestic winged statue of Galio was unveiled, which would later become an important defensive force in the kingdom and a proclamation of Demacia's power to the entire Runeterra.
From the time it was built, to the countless wars, Galio has been silently paying attention to every trivial matter around him. Although his body was not moving, his consciousness was always awake and he longed to experience the thrill of fighting again.
He watched as mortals walked under his feet, saluting him year after year. What puzzled him was that as time passed, people would disappear one by one. Galio wondered where the disappeared had gone. Maybe they were sent to mend it, just like he did when he came back from the battlefield.
As the years passed, Galio came to realize how sad the answer to the question was: Demacia was different from him, unable to be repainted or easily repaired.
Humans are fragile and their lives are short.
Now he suddenly understood how much humanity needed his protection. Fighting was his ardent desire, and now, the people are what he is fighting for.
Unfortunately, in the hundreds of years that followed, Galio only got a handful of opportunities to join the fray.
Demacia began to focus on the interior, and the magic of the world had become much scarcer than before, so he could only remain dormant, observing the world in a half-asleep trance.
The colossus's deepest hope was to be blessed with a massive amount of magic so powerful that it would never need to sleep again.
If life is magical, no matter how short, Galio's wait is worth it.
......................
"Now, with my invincible fist, I will unswervingly protect the Valoran Territory!"
"The stone statue spreads its wings!"
The deep voice echoed in the depths of his mind, awakening Modrian's senses, looking down at the gold and silver cards, although Galio's body was always still, his heart was always stirring, eager to fight.
The most important thing is that Valoran Territory is different from the Kingdom of Demacia, which avoids the destructive power of magic, while Valoran Territory needs more than just people who are proficient in spells, as well as many magical items.
Galio needed the magical energy he needed to absorb to wake him up from his cold slumber, and Valoran was happy to provide it.
Thoughts converged, Modrian did not rush to summon Galio directly in the secret room, and through the understanding of the system, relying on the power of pulleys, steel rails and countless bulls to push this giant stone statue into battle.
Well, it's a question of whether this secret room can hold Galio's body!
