Chapter 3: The Legacy of Sacco the Demon Clown

......

The bright morning sun shone on the silent valley, driving the last clouds away. Birds were happily searching for food in the woods, only to see a lonely figure walking among the trees, holding a porcelain jar wrapped in white cloth.

"Dad, Mom. This is a blessed place discovered by my son, and the environment is quiet, and no one can disturb you anymore. Children cannot fulfill their filial piety during their lifetime, but I hope that in the future, you will be happy and happy in the spirit of heaven, and there will be no harm in heaven. "Under a towering tree, the intertwined roots are exposed. A young man's brow could not hide the bitter sorrow, and he saw him burrow under the root of the tree and jump onto a large rock. Place the urn in your hand in the center of the boulder, remove the middle tank, and fill the kettle with the green liquid inside. Then he bowed to the urn three times, and sighed in his heart, let the magical liquid here soak you all year round in the future, and maybe you can also be reincarnated as soon as possible.

In Yang Lingyun's eyes, these magical liquids have a strange effect, and it may not be clear what spiritual power they really have. Just as he was packing his bags and preparing to fulfill his father's last wish with his university acceptance letter, the boulder under his feet suddenly glowed with a strong green light, illuminating the entire space dazzlingly.

"What's going on? Could this boulder be a meteorite? Or was there some youkai born out of it? Yang Lingyun was horrified in his heart, and saw that while the boulder emitted a dazzling green light, the whole stone was crystal clear, like a huge emerald. A figure flickered in the middle of the gem, thinking of the magical liquid under the giant tree, maybe it was really some spirit that had become a monster.

Just as Yang Lingyun picked up his parents' urn, the central part of the boulder seemed to melt, and Yang Lingyun was so frightened that he quickly jumped away. I saw that the center of the boulder seemed to turn into a green pool, and suddenly a man with two black short swords and a ghost mask stuck in his chest suddenly floated.

"Dead bodies!" Seeing this situation, Yang Lingyun was terrified, isn't there really a ghost or god theory?

The strange corpse floating in the spring water suddenly suspended into the air. Under the mask, he opened a pair of dark eyes, and wore a black and white hat with bells tied at the ends of the bifurcated ends on his head, and as it floated in the air, the sound of "bells" rang from time to time, like magical magic, as if ringing the death knell of the dead, making people shudder.

"I can't imagine that I will wake up one day. Are you waking me up? What rank are you now? There was a piercing sound like a sharp blade cutting from under the mask, which made Yang Lingyun, who had forgotten to escape and was already stunned, wake up instantly, only to feel dizzy and tingling in his eardrums.

"Are you a human or a ghost? I'm just an ordinary person, and if you don't want me to bury my parents here, I can leave right away. Yang Lingyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked tentatively. Seeing that the other party has two knives stuck in his body, he must have been suppressed, and he must have been trapped here. If the opponent pounces, he immediately turns around and runs, and it should not be difficult to jump out of the hole with his own skills.

"Ordinary people? How can ordinary people have the breath of crystal power in their bodies? Although this power is really small, it is indeed the power of crystal. Is it a creep that has not gained blood? Or are you lying? The masked man suspended in mid-air raised his right arm and formed a fist, and suddenly a black mist wrapped around Yang Lingyun not far away, lifting his whole person motionless in mid-air.

"I'm badly wounded, but with a flick of my finger, your life will be gone. Is your mouth really so stubborn? The masked man's fingers were gently closed, and Yang Lingyun only felt a powerful force around him tightly envelop him, pressing his chest out of breath.

"I ...... I'm a ...... An ordinary person, I don't know...... What are you..... Say what. Yang Lingyun only felt that his chest was breathless, and the strength in his body seemed to be taken away.

"Oh? Tell me all your origins, and if there is half a lie, I will make you die in no time. Seeing that Yang Lingyun didn't look like he was lying, the masked man let go of his hand and withdrew the black mist that was wrapped around Yang Lingyun's body.

"So you're really just an ordinary person. The black-clad leader you killed last night was probably an Alliance soldier hiding among the humans. It is estimated that its rank is not high, but it is the lowest black iron fifth rank, and it is not something that you can compete with as an ordinary person. You can kill him, I wonder what makes me curious. However, if you can kill the soldiers of the Alliance, you can be considered to have obtained the qualification of inheritance. After listening to Yang Lingyun's narration, the masked man believed his words. Just now, the dark power searched Yang Lingyun's whole body, and it was true that he didn't find any strength at all, with his diamond-level ability, unless it was an existence five ranks higher than himself, it was impossible to deceive my search. It's just that this kid can be five ranks higher than himself? The masked man stared at Yang Lingyun and looked again from the bottom up.

"What alliance? What is Black Iron 5th Section? And what is the inheritance? Yang Lingyun was confused, but he felt that his life should not be in danger. However, this experience also shocked him very much, there must be an unknown existence in this world, maybe there are aliens. Yang Lingyun nodded thoughtfully in his heart and affirmed, but if he wants to leave here at this moment, he still has to cooperate with this "unknown", so as not to know how to die.

"It was an ancient and mysterious alliance called League of Legends. I was originally from the Valoran family in the League of Legends Runeterra, I was the most outstanding assassin in the history of the Valoran family, and I was also the youngest diamond-level powerhouse of the Valoran family. I am responsible for the future revitalization of my family, and I am doing the same. The masked man seemed to be in deep thought, and subconsciously followed Yang Lingyun's words as if talking to himself.

"But during an assassination attempt, I stumbled upon the Alliance's secrets and secretly hid one of its items. Who knew that the nightmare would come, attracting the joint sanctions of the two most powerful families in the alliance. My family was wiped out in the end, and I don't know why, the Fallen Angel Family and the Righteous Angel Family dared to directly slaughter a family despite the Alliance Elders and the Council. The masked man's voice gritted his teeth contained endless hatred. It seems that there are also regrets that he should not have violated the alliance in the first place and embezzled items in private.

"But I don't regret it, because I escaped anyway. Despite being tortured by the curse of the Serapod Fallen Angel and the Divine Light of one of the six Seraphs, I escaped. Hahaha, sacrificing the lives and inheritance of all the people in the entire family survived. There was a heart-rending laugh at the mask, and then tears poured out of his eyes, and even his nails were deeply inserted into his palms, and drops of blood fell into the green spring water below him.

"Boy, do you want to have infinite power and stand on the highest place in the world and look down on all beings?" The masked man laughed for a while, and suddenly asked Yang Lingyun, who was standing there in deep thought, in an unquestioning tone.

"Me? I didn't think about it, I just wanted to live a good life according to my father's wishes. Yang Lingyun shook his head, he could see that what the masked man said that the alliance wanted to get at all costs must be very precious, otherwise this person would not rather the entire family be destroyed to keep this item.

"Live? Good one to live, who doesn't want to live! You must know that you killed the soldiers of the Alliance, and it is not almost impossible for an ordinary person to survive the pursuit of the Alliance, but it is completely impossible. When I fled here before I fell asleep, the planet had not been ruled for a long time, but it had been a hundred years. Presumably under complete control of the Alliance, just you? Can you live? The masked man sneered sharply, then said again with contempt.

Yang Lingyun was red on the ground, and he was not a stupid person. What's more, now that he knows this person's secret, if he doesn't agree to his request, I'm afraid he will die here immediately.

Just as Yang Lingyun gritted his teeth and was about to reply, he saw a crystal crystal bead floating in front of Yang Lingyun. The fist-sized beads seemed to be rolling in a monstrous wave, and there was a sound of waves. I woke up in a trance, but I saw the beads quietly stopped in mid-air, as if they had not moved for thousands of years.

"This is the crystal heart that the entire alliance covets, it is said to control the power of the origin of the hero, and I also use its power to refine the spiritual liquid gathered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the soul, otherwise even if my body is not destroyed, the divine soul will have already been burned out. From now on it belongs only to you, who wants to get it, unless you are bombarded to the scum and then refined into shape. I'm afraid that the god of elixir can't do it, hahaha, swallow it! With a strong attack, Yang Lingyun involuntarily opened his mouth, and such a big bead instantly flew into his mouth. Yang Lingyun, who had regained his freedom, hurriedly patted his chest, as if he had blocked something, and he only felt uncomfortable breathing.

"Alas, ordinary people really can't do it, so let me help you." After the masked man finished speaking, a thick black mist immediately swept Yang Lingyun's entire person in, spinning rapidly like a storm.

Yang Lingyun only felt dizzy for a while, and the whole person seemed to fly, not knowing where the world was. In the strong feeling of weightlessness, I felt a stream of heat flowing down my mouth and wanted to spit out. But a black mist tightly wrapped the mouth, even the nose, eyes, and ears, and even the pores of the whole person were blocked, making it impossible to breathe. I only felt that people were about to suffocate to death, and at the moment when Yang Lingyun was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly heard a sound that seemed to be broken. Slowly, the sound of shattering became louder and louder, and only the sound of splinters tearing apart from heaven and earth was heard hitting the ground. A cold coolness spread from Yang Lingyun's chest, and suddenly the entire limbs felt more comfortable than ever, and people couldn't help but scream.

"It's done! No one will be able to find it in you, League of Legends will never sleep, and nightmares will haunt you until you die. As Yang Lingyun emitted a blue light from every pore on his body, the masked man burst into a smug laugh, he knew that the giant wheel of history would be unstoppable, and it would eventually crush any enemy who dared to stand in front of it and stop its advance.

It seems that a huge amount of energy has been used just now, and the masked man looks very tired. When he saw Yang Lingyun return to normal and opened his eyes, a diamond-shaped diamond the size of a peanut appeared in the center of the eyebrows of the person in the mask.

"This diamond represents my cultivation, but unfortunately I can only cultivate to this point in the end. It's hard for an assassin hero to go any further. But even so, the alliance would have to send two transcendent masters before they could say that they could kill me with confidence. It's a pity that they naively thought they could capture me alive and let me find a chance to escape. As if proud of his past achievements, or perhaps nostalgic for the strength of this body, the masked man stared at the dazzling diamond in front of him with a soft gaze.

"That trace of blood in the diamond represents the inheritance of my clan, and you will replace me as the only inheritance of my bloodline, cherish it, because it will become the strongest support for your future king's road. Go, the last pride of the Valoran family. With a "bang" of the diamond, it shattered and turned into a little starlight. A strand of blood like a hair flew into Yang Lingyun's eyebrows, who were still sluggish, like a steel needle. Yang Lingyun only felt a tingling pain, and couldn't help but snort, reached out and touched his eyebrows, but didn't touch anything.

"Boy, what's your name? If you join my clan, you are a member of my clan, and you are a member of my Valoran family. The masked man looked even weaker and gasped.

"My name is Yang Lingyun, Lingyun of Lingyun's ambition. My father told me to think twice and think ahead. Yang Lingyun subconsciously replied, although he didn't know what had happened just now, but seeing that the masked man in front of him was speaking in a tone that looked more and more like his father explaining what happened before he died. Knowing that the other party was afraid that his life would be short, especially the two daggers that the other party had inserted in his chest began to flow blood down the wound.

"What a lofty ambition, your father is right. Now you are too weak, I can't help you more, on your own, you must think twice and plan to act. This is also the first criterion of being an assassin, to be able to kill with one hit. This pool of spiritual spring, I will help you refine it as a supplement for your future cultivation. Without the cultivation of family resources, your path will be even more difficult. Plus, it's the spatial belt I've always carried, and it has six dark compartments that can store items as well as weapons. It was crafted by a demigod in charge of the forging process by Ferreljord, and even if it was an artifact, it could still be placed inside. It's a pity that all my equipment is used to give it the strength to sustain my body. The masked man pulled out a slender belt, revealing three emerald green thumb-sized gems on the left and right. With the movement of the masked man's mind, all the spring water in the boulder erupted into green beads like elixirs, and all of them flew into the jewels of the belt and disappeared.

The Masked Man let out a soft sigh after all this, and an hourglass appeared in the palm of his right hand. I saw that the quicksand in the hourglass kept falling, and soon the sand on one side would completely flow to the other end. Yang Lingyun also vaguely saw that there were three small flames similar to swords and armor burning in the hourglass, but they were too small, and Yang Lingyun was not sure what they were.

"This is a secondary artifact, and its name is Zhongya Hourglass. Legend has it that in ancient times, in order to balance all things in the world, the creator threw the Ring of Zhongya, a super artifact he was wearing, into the world. Due to the chaos of time and space, the ring of Zhongya was finally damaged, and it was remade into two artifacts, the Death Hat of the World Destroyer and the Hourglass of Zhongya, by a great god. With the continuous exploration of the power of runes and the increasing strength of the crystal hub, two sub-god-level forgers were born, which were the equipment imitated by one of the sub-god-level masters. It's a pity that it can't withstand the blows of two transcendent masters, and it's two mutually exclusive powers of darkness and divine. If it weren't for the power of spontaneous combustion with the other three pieces of sub-god-level equipment, it would have been shattered long ago. But at this moment, its time, like my life, has come to an end. In the last days of his life, the masked man told Yang Lingyun about the power of this mysterious world.

At this moment, the masked man had no strength and continued to float for half a day. The whole chest has been stained red with blood.,The whole person sat down on the boulder in a languid.,Looking at the hourglass in his hand that was about to come to an end with nostalgia.。。

Yang Lingyun couldn't bear to walk over and helped the other party up, so that he could sit more comfortably.

"Yang Lingyun, my clansman. One last thing I ask of you, help me get my weapon out. Let me take one last look at it, it pierced into my body, and I could feel it crying and screaming. But I don't have the strength to pull it out. The masked man looked up at Yang Lingyun, and at this moment his wish had been granted. To be able to be accompanied by his own people, I just want to see the "partners" who have been with me for many years in the afterglow of life.

"Bear with me." Yang Lingyun gritted his teeth, holding the handle of the black pattern with both hands, only to feel a burning pain in his left hand, and his right hand seemed to be corroded. Holding back the pain of his hands, Yang Lingyun pulled out the short sword with all his might. A black blood arrow shot out, spraying Yang Lingyun's body. The two short swords that had long been rotten were held by Yang Lingyun in his hands.

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and I saw the hourglass on the side shatter into several pieces, and the sand inside flew in the wind. Although the masked man was wearing a mask, Yang Lingyun still felt that the masked mouth was spitting blood. Because the blood flowed down the mask.

Yang Lingyun didn't move when he saw the man in the hood, and he didn't reach out to take the short sword handed over. So he put the dagger in his hand.

"Help me take off my mask. Wearing a mask all his life and living in the dark. I want to be able to face the world like a normal person before I die. The masked man said in a barely audible voice. If it weren't for the fact that he had just absorbed the Crystal Heart and improved the system, coupled with a trace of change in the bloodline inheritance, Yang Lingyun would have heard what he was saying.

In fact, Yang Lingyun was also very curious, and when he saw that he had said it himself, he had the courage to take off his mask. Suddenly Yang Lingyun was stunned in place.

Only under the mask turned out to be the face of a weak woman, and as the hood fell, the two long hair coiled up hair covers stood up. Slender willow eyebrows, dark eyes like ink, and a small peach mouth under a straight nose. It's just that at this time, the face is bloodless, the corners of the mouth are bloodstained, and the face is haggard and heartbreaking.

"My name is Valoran Sacco, and you are the first person I have seen since I became an Assassin. No one has seen me for who I really am since I was sensible, and we have been raised to be killers and not know who our parents are. Their right is just to give us a name, and it doesn't matter after that. Some are just strength, and strength represents the status in the family. We who wear masks, after a long time, even the gender has almost forgotten. For the sake of disguise, we can even have different voices and ages. In addition to himself, he still remembers his name and surname, and always reminds himself of who he is. As if in a dream, his calm voice was like chatting on a chaise longue under a tree in the afternoon, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, and his voice became weaker and quieter.

"I don't hate them, because the Valorans will never have such rules again. Yang Lingyun, don't hate the Valoran family, even if you are the only one in the clan in the future. And don't tell anyone who you are, live well, live well, with the wishes of your parents, with the last hope of the Valoran family. I really envy you......" As Sacco's voice became weaker and weaker, Yang Lingyun had to put his ear to her mouth.

"I have memories of my parents. My parents...... Again....... At....... Where. The sound of breathing had been silent for a while, and it wasn't until Yang Lingyun touched Sacco's carotid artery with his fingers that he confirmed that Sacco's words just now were her last words before she died.

"Don't worry, the regrets of the Valoran family will be fulfilled by me. Rest here in peace! Yang Lingyun put Sacco into the big pit in the middle of the boulder, and then put his parents' urn in it. I was going to use this place as the tomb of my parents, but now that I have become a member of Valoran's clan and have the bloodline inheritance of the Valoran family, I can be regarded as a relative, so I will be buried together.

Yang Lingyun sighed, and then put Sacco's double knives into it, and when he cleaned up the broken hourglass, he actually found a pocket watch in the quicksand. A layer of blue light appeared on Yang Lingyun's eye mask and disappeared, only to see a message flash into his mind.

"The stopwatch that starts moving. After 10 days, it automatically changes to a stopwatch, Stopwatch: Only Active - Stasis: Makes the wielder immune to any damage for 2.5 seconds and cannot be targeted, but cannot move, attack, cast spells, or use equipment (one-time use)"
