Chapter 19: Mystery
After more than a dozen attempts, Jian Bufan chose to give up the challenge for the time being.
This rune tower can perceive its own realm, and in order to ensure the difficulty, every time the opponent is one realm higher than itself.
Na Luo was in the third realm at this time, and it was difficult for Jian Bufan to win no matter how hard he tried.
Instead of wasting any more time, it is better to calm down and break through.
So, in the Rune Tower, Jian Bufan began a new round of long meditation.
The rich essence in the Rune Tower surged towards him, like a mountain and a sea. Jian Bufan felt an extremely comfortable feeling, and every cell in his body seemed to cheer.
I don't know how long it took for Jian Bufan to wake up from the meditation turn.
Habitually glanced at the countdown, there were five days left.
Jian Bufan hesitated for a while, feeling that the time was still a little early, so he closed his eyes again and fell into meditation.
Little by little, time passed......
In an ethereal mind, Jian Bufan felt that time had not passed long, but he still subconsciously let himself break free from meditation.
I opened my eyes and looked at the countdown on the light door.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out from Jian Bufan's forehead.
On the light gate, there is only one day left in the countdown! What frightened Jian Bufan was that the number one was faintly flickering, as if the next second, it would turn from one to zero!
"Never be in the Runetower for more than forty-nine days......"
"There are some mysteries, and if you touch them, you will die......"
At this moment, Jian Bufan suddenly recalled Morgana's warning to him, and cold sweat immediately soaked his back.
Jian Bufan jumped up violently and rushed towards the light gate at lightning speed.
Fortunately, he successfully entered the light gate.
Bright light bloomed around him, Jian Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to leave the Rune Tower, he glanced back and found that the countdown on the light gate at this time had changed from one to zero......
At this moment, in the dark rune tower, there was an aura that made people's souls tremble with fear.
It's like some terrifying beast has broken free from the seal of the Rune Tower!
Jian Bufan was horrified to see that in the darkness, there was a big black hand, grabbing at a speed like crossing space!
An incomparably real sense of death instantly enveloped Jian Bufan's heart.
There was a black mist rising in the big black hand, and in that black mist, it seemed that there were countless powerful ghosts roaring, and hideous fuzzy human heads emerged, wanting to tear Jian Bufan into pieces.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Rune Tower successfully sent Jian Bufan away.
In the room, Jian Bufan opened his eyes suddenly, panting, goosebumps all over his body exploded, and a cold sweat broke out.
It took him a long time to calm down, but he still had palpitations.
"It's terrifying......"
When facing that big black hand, Jian Bufan could clearly feel that he was like an ant, and that deep sense of powerlessness was like falling in a bottomless abyss.
"What did you encounter?"
Morgana's question sounded in her mind, and it was clear that she had discovered Jian Bufan's anomaly at this time.
Jian Bufan took a deep breath and explained in detail what happened in the Rune Tower.
"You're lucky, but next time, you won't have that much luck." Morgana's serious voice came from his head, "I warned you to watch the time. β
Jian Bufan didn't refute, but asked, "What is that big black hand?" β
Morgana fell silent for a long time before she responded, "It should be one of the mysteries in the Rune Tower, and I don't know exactly what it is." β
Jian Bufan frowned, he always felt that Morgana didn't fully tell the truth......
But he didn't ask any more questions, slowly stood up, opened the window, and at this time, the sky outside had begun to grow brighter.
Soon, the sun peeked out of the clouds, and the whole world seemed to come alive in an instant.
Today, Jian Bufan will once again enter the palace.
After three years, it is like a reincarnation of fate, three years ago, Jian Bufan fell in the palace, and three years later, Jian Bufan rose again, but he had to return to the place where the nightmare began.
On the luxurious carriage, Jian Bufan's eyes looked out of the window, taking in the prosperity of the whole city.
Fancheng, this is the royal capital of Demacia, and at the same time, it also has another name - Xiongdu!
As Jian Bufan can see, on both sides of the road, people come and go, all kinds of buildings are lined up, and it is definitely a majestic and magnificent capital.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The coachman turned his head and said anxiously to Jian Bufan: "Young master, the road ahead is blocked!" β
Jian Bufan opened the curtain and looked forward, only to see that the crowd of people in front of him was surging, crowding the entire avenue, and faintly, there were noisy quarrels and shouting and scolding.
Jian Bufan frowned, it seemed that the carriage really couldn't pass.
He wasn't interested in what was going on in front of him, after all, his own affairs were enough of a headache, so how could he bother to meddle in other people's affairs.
After waiting for a while, the crowd showed no signs of dispersing, but became more crowded.
Jian Bufan heard someone talking on the side of the road: "What's the matter today?" With so many refugees pouring in at once, could it be that Noxus has already called......"
"You've got a bad brain, aren't you?"
Someone next to him retorted angrily, "Even if Noxus is invincible, it is impossible to defeat this Xiongdu overnight." I have heard that these refugees came from the city of Bayro. β
"Refugee ...... in Bairo"
Jian Bufan stepped out of the carriage and fell into deep thought.
In his memory, the city of Bailuo was located in the west of Fancheng, and it had always been far away from the war, so how could there be refugees.
"Right now, it's important to enter the palace."
Jian Bufan thought to himself, so he dropped the carriage, squeezed into the crowd, and prepared to walk to the palace alone.
Along the way, he saw many ragged people being crushed to the ground by the guards, but they continued to roar and resist, as if they had fallen into madness.
Some onlookers commented: "It's really funny, these refugees don't know why they are crazy......
"Dead! They're all dead! All died in a nightmare! β
One of the refugees suddenly broke free from the guards and rushed towards Jian Bufan in a frenzy.
Jian Bufan's eyes froze, and he subdued it with his backhand.
When Jian Bufan's hand touched the refugee, in his mind, there was a sudden excited and immature voice of theft -
"Congratulations to my master, this time I stole a dilapidated statue of a god."
"Congratulations to the master, the theft omen has been successfully upgraded, and the current theft success rate has increased to two percent."
"Master, let me tell you a little secret: the first burglary after the upgrade will greatly increase the chance of theft, and the master must take advantage of this opportunity."
The immature voices in his mind made Jian Bufan overjoyed.
Since the last time he stole the critical blow of the skill, Jian Bufan has never succeeded in stealing anything, but he didn't expect that today he not only succeeded, but also upgraded.
In addition, the success rate of the next theft will be greatly improved.
The opportunity is not easy to come by, and after the theft omen is cooled down, Jian Bufan must choose a stealing target.
At this time, Jian Bufan looked at the statue of the god he had just obtained in his hand.
The statue was the size of a palm, very ordinary, and very old, so old that the sword could not tell which god it was carved.
Jian Bufan crouched down and returned the idol to the refugee.
The refugee took the statue blankly, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, and then slammed the statue of the god to the ground, falling to pieces.
"The gods didn't bless us! No! β
He cried out, as if caught in a painful memory, frantically repeating the previous words, "Dead! They're all dead! All died in a nightmare! β
β¦β¦
Jian Bufan didn't stay here for long, he had more important things to doβHis Royal Highness the Third was still waiting for him to drink tea.
