Far to the far north.

Even if it is not yet the winter season, there is still a sky full of ice and snow dancing like elves, falling into the snow, piling up a white world.

Buzzing! Buzzing!

The anomalous fluctuations in the main matter plane are fleeting, but they cannot escape the insight of the blue and white towers.

A dazzling magical glow was like a pillar of light that pierced through the gloomy gray sky in an unstoppable manner, revealing a large circle of azure sky.

In the center of the towers, a towering and magnificent mage tower surged with crystal clear fluorescence, guarding the tower body.

Sitting inside the top of the tower, the old mage Huo Ran, who was meditating, opened his cloudy eyes and looked up at the violently trembling star catalogue with a solemn expression.

Gods, the most powerful and immortal creatures.

No matter what level of magic items peep at the gods, they will all be disturbed by the gods' own power, and they will not even be able to observe the gods.

In layman's terms, it is the gods who hide themselves.

But at this moment, the star catalogue in the dome trembled violently, which showed that many gods no longer concealed their whereabouts and released their divine powers.

So, what exactly is causing the current situation to happen?

With the light of his eyes turning, the old mage noticed that the [Destiny Stone Tablet (Fragment)] embedded in the center of the dome was also trembling slightly, and the hazy and illusory light completely hid into the gap between the Destiny Stone Tablet.

Call!

With a light breeze, the old mage disappeared in place, appearing on the blue jade balcony at the top of the tower, looking up at the sky, the blue clouds and the sky stained with a little blood.

Then with the cold winter wind, it blends with heaven and earth.

"Prophecy .... Has it begun? ”

"Calamity, calamity, endless sin!"

......

Grand Duchy of Tambefasa, capital.

The city of Gladys.

Named after the goddess of wealth, this magnificent city is one of the most prosperous cities in the Trade League.

Looking down from above, countless crowds of people converged into a sea, surging in every street of the city, there were dwarves, gnomes, elves, orcs and other races of trade merchants, and more often there were groups of human merchants.

In the most central and prosperous area of the city, stands a vast complex of pale gold buildings.

This is the Temple of Wealth, attributed to Gladys, the goddess of wealth, and the most highly regarded place in the Grand Duchy of Tambefasa.

The chanting of praise echoed quietly over the temple, and the autumn sun fell, reflecting the golden glow of the holy majesty.

Inside the main hall, the lifelike statue of the goddess of wealth, adorned with all kinds of gems, suddenly bloomed with brilliant golden light, and then swept through the temple of wealth like a wave.

"Prophecy, begin!"

"Abyssal ......."

The murmuring female voice was drowned in the golden light, leaving alone a miraculous sight, triggering the worship of all intelligent beings in the city of Gladys.

......

In the Kingdom of Fadilha, the temple of power standing outside the capital, a miracle also occurred.

The brilliant holy light burned like a flame, and endless majesty filled the heavens and the earth.

In the center of the flames, a tall figure in armor was faintly reflected, attracting the attention of all beings.

Thundered!

The countless knights of power guarding the temple around it, whether on patrol or training, all raised their sharp weapons in their hands, shouted praises to the great god of power, and prayed for the protection of the gods.

......

Kingdom of Besilik, Zolkod.

Nestled in the rainforest, this temple-like city is the royal capital of the kingdom of Besilik and the most glorious of the many lizardmen temples.

That is, the City of Blood.

However, since the defeat of the Lizardmen in the Great Plains of Shatar, the [City of Blood] Drowkod has been on alert, and there will be lizardman scouts patrolling the rainforest around the temple all the time to prevent the infiltration of the Valoran Territory.

The anomalous fluctuations in the main material plane attracted the attention of Samuel Anya, the god of lizardmen.

His god clone was stationed in Dhorkod all year round, and at the moment of abnormal fluctuations, a blood-colored tide rippled over the temple, and the figure of a huge lizard gradually condensed.

"Abyssal Shock..... Prophecy begins! ”

"Hahaha, a chance for revenge!"

Samuel Anya, the god of the lizardmen, floated above the temple of the lizardmen, looking up at the changes in the sky, her red eyes full of cruelty and murder.

"This time, I'll take it upon myself to slaughter all those who stand in my way!"

......

......

Fortress of Lakstark.

The sun is setting in the west, and the crimson twilight is like sediment suspended in a turbid current, which settles in the foothills and peaks in the process of time passing.

The main fort, the study gallery.

Modrian and Svein finished their conversation and walked slowly outside.

The two of them talked about the anomalies in the main material plane, and they couldn't come to much conclusion, so they could only wait for things to happen, but Valoran would definitely enter a state of alert on the outside and tight on the inside.

In the ensuing discussion, Svein reported on the situation in Limontanlu and the southern provinces.

The Dalle family's wholehearted assistance allowed Valoran to save a lot of effort to resolve the conflict of interests between the nobles.

"Your Excellency, stop." Svein looked sideways at Modrian, and said respectfully, "After dealing with the matter of Limontanlu, I will patrol around the Valoran territory." ”

"The more you see, the more interesting you will find hidden."

Modrian nodded, not refusing Svein's request.

The current Valoran Territory, with Svein inside, Darius and Galen and others outside, maintains a high-spirited posture and strides forward, and its strength has long been different from what it used to be.

Just after sending Svein, when Modrian returned to the study, he saw Anne holding Tibbs in front of the door, and looked at him pitifully.

"What's wrong, Annie?" Modrian asked.

Speaking of which, among the fragments of memories he received, there was a connection between Anne and the Noxian Empire.

......

The last years of the reign of Brond Darkwell (the last emperor of Noxus) were a time of unprecedented turmoil in Noxus.

Many people with magical abilities left the capital and made their homes in remote provinces that were relatively peaceful. Gregory and his wife, the witch Amorien, decided that instead of getting involved in a conspiracy between the nobles for power, they should go to the frontiers of the empire and let the power of Noxus be revealed.

The young couple settled on the northern side of the Iron Thorn Mountains. Before their first child was born, they built a hut before winter came.

During their travels, the couple heard from the colonists that the land was once inhabited by giant shadow bears. Amoline, who was nine months pregnant at the time, was fascinated by the story.

She sat by the fireplace and sewed a toy in the shape of her imagination that the creature was said to protect the weak.

Just as Amorien had just sewn the last button eye on the teddy bear, the labor pains of childbirth began.

Gregory later realized that it was because their daughter was impatient with the new toy. So, by the ember hearth, Amorien gave birth to Anne.

When Anne was still a toddler, one day she and her father both fell ill.

After dark, Anne began to have a fever, and soon became so hot that even her mother could not hold her in her arms.

Amoline was at a loss and finally decided to go to the nearby river to get some cold water.

The next morning, Gregory wakes up top-heavy and crumbling, only to find a healthy Anne playing with Thiebs the teddy bear.

But Amorim was gone.

Anne naively believed that her mother would always come back.

So Gregory would often see the little girl sitting in Amorim's armchair by the fireplace, with Tibbs in her arms, her eyes staring at the crackling fire.

However, Gregory was quite sure that there was nothing but cold ashes in the hearth. He chalked it all down to the illusion of the burden of raising his daughter alone.

As time went by, more and more colonists came here. Gregory also met Liana because of this. With her daughter Daisy, she wants to start a new life outside the capital.

Anne would love to have a new partner, but because she had been the only child in the family for many years, it was difficult for her to integrate into the new family for a while.

Whenever Anne was angry, Liana would nervously take her daughter to the side. Gregory struggles to maintain the peace between the mother and daughter.

Young Daisy is unwary of the dangers of the wilderness, and the child's play eventually becomes a great tragedy for the family.

Liana rightfully blames Anne for Daisy's death, pouring out her anger and grief on Timbers, Anne's most precious toy.

When Anne saw that the only memory she had left of her mother was about to be destroyed, her fear turned to a raging rage, unleashing a powerful flame. The teddy bear came to life surrounded by a vortex of flames.

When the flames were extinguished and the smoke cleared, only Anne was left alone in the mess.

Anne was afraid that the adults in the city would be like her stepmother, so she stayed on the borders of the Empire.

Sometimes, some families would take her in for a while because of her simple and lovely appearance, giving her some new clothes and hot meals. But if anyone dares to take Tiebs away from her, fire and death await them.

Under Tibbs's protection, Anne roams the dark forests of Noxus, unaware of any danger and unaware of the dangers her unfathomable power may pose to others.

She hopes that one day she will be able to find a playmate similar to herself.

......

When Anne, the Dark Woman, was summoned, the system selectively implanted some memories and set Modrian as a similar playmate that Anne had found, which is why Anne was so close to Modrian.

At first, it wasn't clear to him.

It wasn't until several similar events sparked Anne's anger that he realized that he seemed to have inadvertently become Anne's dependence.

For the set result, Modrian accepted it calmly.

Because the fragments of memories that Anne brought with them were full of waiting and sorrow.

Unaccompanied, wandering alone, everything is related to loneliness, and the only beauty left is the bits and pieces of childhood.

"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time, can you play with me?" Anne bowed her head, her thin arms tugging at the corners of her red dress.

Hearing this, Modrian's expression was slightly furrowed, and he hesitated and said, "Didn't Sophia accompany you?" He remembered Sophia taking Anne to Irwindale City, along with Yuumi.

"No, Sister Sophia is with me, but I ......" Anne quietly glanced up at Modrian, and then hugged Tibbs tightly, wanting to stop.

"Can you accompany you tomorrow? It's a little late today," Modrian understood what Anne meant, pointed to the drowsy twilight outside, smiled, and stroked Anne's head with his right hand.

"Okay, brother!" Anne replied happily, closing her eyes and enjoying Modrian's touch.

This period of life has allowed her to find some of the happiness and innocence that she once lost, and she enjoys her current life, especially with Modrian, and her heart is extremely stable.

It was night, and everything was silent.

The mountains were dark and gloomy, the wilderness was gloomy, and the bright red light opened the big mouth of the black hole like a monster, devouring the fresh breath of the main material plane.

Through the cracked mouth, a red sky was faintly visible.........
