Chapter 234: The Path of Enlightenment
While Yorick was nostalgic for the past, Rhodes had already finished debugging the Calibrated Glow.
After a bit of cool manipulation, Rhodes finally got all the Arcane Resonance Crystals in their rightful places and adjusted the angles.
The unique arcane energy from the arcane permanent magnet followed the crystal's resonance trajectory into a substantial arcane light, successfully activating the switch.
The tattered entrance finally bloomed brightly.
Lucian's eyes, who had been on the sidelines with disdain, finally widened - one moment it was a calibration platform that looked like a console, the next it was a ...... Portal?!
After the Calibration Glows activated, the arcane permanent magnet on the platform that was supposed to provide fugitive energy instantly turned into arcane coordinates, and the tattered hole took off its disguise and became a real teleportation circle.
This scene of super transformation can be said to be surprising.
At this moment, Lucian had to admit that magic or something...... It's still kind of interesting.
"Come on." Yorick waved the shovel in his hand, "The next is our unique journey - on the other side of the portal is the Path of Enlightenment, through which we can go straight to the Temple of Light, where there is a portal to the basement, on which the Immortal Fortress is built. ”
With that, Yorick was the first to step through the portal.
Then there was Rod, Jana, Jinx, Lucian...... and Maokai, who struggled to shrink himself into a ball.
(No way, although this portal is already very large, it is about the same as a dog hole for a dryad, and Mokai not only needs to lie down, but also has to shrink himself as much as possible to get through the portal.) )
……………………
When Lucian walked out of the portal, his whole person was confused.
The feeling of space folding, compressing, and turning upside down was a bit unacceptable - while Lucian had accepted a lot of things along the way that would normally not have been accepted by Demacians, Lucian still couldn't contain his surprise as he walked through the portal for the first time.
Is this magic?
In Lucian's mind, magic was a means of destruction, a different form of violence.
In Demacia's traditional upbringing, magic is often described as "a dangerous force" - those who master magic can easily rule over civilians who cannot master magic, and the commoners are very difficult to resist.
So all along, Demacia's flaunt of self is not only justice, but also "security".
After all, Demacia "has no magic", and there will be no lords who rely on magic to do evil.
That's what Lucian received from below.
However, because he has been traveling from north to south, compared to the usual Demacians, Lucian can be regarded as a more enlightened kind, especially after Senna's accident, Lucian has spent a lot of effort to understand the existence of magic - this understanding has allowed him to master all the means of targeting hammerstone, and has made him much less hostile to magic.
Lucian wasn't an angry man - Hammerstone tormented Senna by the power of magic, but Lucian knew that magic wasn't the root cause.
But no matter how rational Lucian is, when faced with magic, he is often a little repulsed.
After meeting Rod, Lucian gained a new understanding of magic.
Seeing Rod's Suffron Flame, Lucian felt the infinite possibilities of magic itself so directly for the first time - and Rod's choice to purify the Shadow Isle for the sake of life force also made Lucian's impression of the mage change a lot, and in this case, his perception of magic began to change again.
And this time, when he crossed the portal, Lucian had a deeper understanding of magic.
This power can be used for more than just destruction – if it could, it might be even greater, right?
Traveling through space seemed to ordinary Demacians to be a "demon law", but in Lucian's eyes, it meant infinite possibilities, and in the midst of vertigo, Lucian could not help but start thinking wildly.
It took a long time for Lucian to shake off the discomfort and get back on his feet—unexpectedly, everyone but himself looked like "this is nothing."
"Big man, you're ...... It's too bad. Jinx even grimaced at Lucian, "It's like this through a door—if you're teleported around by Rodra, you won't faint?" ”
As she spoke, Jinx turned to look at Rhodes.
But Rhodes didn't answer, but looked at the murals around the passage of the Enlightenment Road pointedly.
"Smack!"
Rod snapped his fingers, and a white ball of light floated above Rode's head, bright but not dazzling.
(Zoe Gandalf's Brainless Powder, x)
"Look at these murals—I really can't see that the mages on Fuguang Island would use this method of recording...... It's a bargain. ”
"But at least practical." Yorick waved his hand and walked to the front, "Words will be lost, spells will fail, but images can always express what they want to convey as long as they are not destroyed in large areas, and the Order wants all knowledge to be passed on, and these murals are just in case." ”
"Hmm...... That seems unfortunate. Rod shrugged and followed, "These 'what ifs' are still used." ”
Yorick was silent.
The group walked slowly on the road of enlightenment under the white light of Rhodes - because Maokai could only "crawl and walk", everyone's pace was very slow.
It also meant that Lucian had plenty of time to see what was on the mural.
The long mural tells the origin of Fukko Island.
In the beginning, Fukumitsu Island was full of lush forests.
At that time, the only people who occasionally appeared on the island were fishermen and pirates - and occasionally a few unlucky merchants.
At first, there were very few people on the island, and everyone lived only temporarily, but then, it seems, because of the war, the island began to have a permanent population, and the permanent population became more and more numerous.
In order to prevent the war from spreading to the island, these men began to train like soldiers, but were severely injured during an invasion.
At the critical moment, someone seemed to awaken some kind of power, and he caused a storm that destroyed the fleets of those invaders, tearing all the invaders to pieces.
Magic saved the place.
After seeing the power of magic, everyone on the island began to learn this power - it seems that because of the bloodline, they easily mastered this power.
Lucian pondered the history of magic, while Rhodes was keenly aware of some of the characteristics that belonged to the island's original natives.
Different from the Vastaya - this arcane power from the bloodline...... It's kind of interesting.
