Chapter 1: The Forgotten Lands
From the Voodoo Lands to the mountains of the coastline, there is a forgotten land. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Everyone thinks that it is a wasteland, destroyed by the remnants of the ancient rune war. However, this is only a façade of Acacia.
The fate of a traveler who strays into a land of sin is usually death or oblivion, but either one may be a relief. This is a land of destruction, the ruins of ancient cities are covered in mist, and there are gigantic decaying stone statues of strange shapes, all of which are dark and terrifying gods. The creatures of the Endless Void are worshipped here.
Acacia is still inhabited by fallen descendants of the builders of the Dark Lands. Nearly all of the locals have been performing ancient magic from the Endless Void for generations. They have waited for generations, studying the forgotten prophecies of the forbidden books. They have abused their magic to bring Valoran to the rest of the world closer once again. They have been waiting for the day when they can follow their master into the Endless Void so that they can rebuild Acacia again and find their terrifying paradise in the other world.
In this forgotten land, there are countless altars of all sizes, large and small, most of which have been broken and destroyed, but there are still some that can be activated, but now no one knows what they are for, let alone how to activate them, and every wrong attempt has to pay a heavy price.
In a small canyon in the middle of nowhere, there is a small altar, which is far away from people, and even most of the people who have lived in Acacia for generations have forgotten the small altar in this small canyon, but today, a little girl walked into this small canyon, and carried a burden that was not much smaller than herself, but it was easily carried in his hands, without a trace of difficulty, but a feeling of absent-mindedness.
The little girl walked to the side of the small altar, raised her eyes and looked at the little altar that was a little shabby, and then, as if having made up her mind, she walked up the steps, step by step up to the small altar, and after taking a look at this somewhat strange and very familiar scene, she began to take out all kinds of items from the huge package, and then without saying a word she sacrificed the items she had brought with her, and repaired the altar.
Although the woman brought a lot of things, they were consumed in the blink of an eye, and the originally lifeless altar seemed to be rejuvenated, with streamers flickering on the surface from time to time. When the woman saw this scene, her solemn expression finally relaxed a little, but when she thought of what she was going to do next, she frowned again.
After making these preparations, the woman did not intend to stop and rest, but walked directly to the center of the altar, and then folded her hands as if praying for something.
With the low whisper in the woman's mouth, the altar began to glow faintly, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to all sides, fortunately it was daytime, otherwise, the abnormality here would have been noticed in all directions. Gradually, the woman's whispers became more and more urgent, and the voice became louder and louder, and dark clouds began to appear in the sky.
Lightning and thunder began to appear in the sky, of course, this abnormal weather could not hide from other people nearby, and soon someone noticed this canyon and came quickly, but unfortunately, without exception, they were all blocked outside the canyon, as if there was a transparent wall of air in front of them, making it impossible for people to cross the thunder pool.
Inside the altar, as the girl's speech became faster and faster, the altar began to crack, but the four stone pillars around it were intact, and they were getting brighter and brighter, and when they reached a limit, the four pillars of light went straight to the sky, breaking through the clouds of lightning and thunder, like a ray of sunlight, breaking through this forgotten place that was hidden in the fog all year round.
This is not the first time that this kind of change has occurred in the forgotten land of Acacia, which will certainly attract the attention of all the powerhouses of the Valoran continent, the last time this situation has occurred was a few years ago, and since then, there has been a monster called Kogas in the Land of Runeterra. And this time I don't know what kind of monster there will be, so some people began to rush to this place that has returned to everyone's memory again.
The woman presiding over the altar in the canyon didn't care about these changes at all, still focusing on her spell, and the four pillars that were still intact here suddenly shattered at the same time, and the energy contained in them did not scatter because of the broken pillars, but condensed towards the altar directly above.
As the energy above the altar condensed, the previous bright light not only did not become brighter, but slowly dimmed, and gradually condensed into a ball, and then it began to collapse, and with black thunder and lightning, a void black hole was born.
When the woman saw the appearance of this black hole, her face, which had been flat, finally showed a smile, but it quickly disappeared, and a pair of eyes stared at the black hole, a little uneasy, nervous, anxious, and expectant.
Time passed, but what the woman was expecting did not appear, and the black hole was becoming more and more unstable, and the black thunder that came out of it became more and more and thicker, and it looked like the entrance of the dark hole was about to collapse. And the woman seemed to be getting more and more strained, and her legs were constantly shaking, as if she was carrying a mountain on her back, and she couldn't breathe.
The woman's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and gradually, she couldn't see the scene in front of her clearly, and she wanted to sleep peacefully, but the last trace of unwillingness made the woman struggle to support and was not crushed by the burden on her body.
It's a pity that the woman was able to support it with perseverance, but the black hole could no longer hold on, and after suddenly expanding outward, it began to sink sharply inward, and finally turned into a small black dot, which disappeared without a trace in the sound of sand cracking. The woman finally couldn't resist the tide of sleepiness and passed out directly, but before she fell unconscious, it was as if she saw a figure fall from the sky, and then she didn't know anything.
When the woman woke up again, it was three days later, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the elders sitting around her, all expressionless, looking at the girl who had just woken up.
"I'm sorry!" The girl said weakly, but although she had an apologetic tone, there was still a hint of expectation in her eyes, and what was the figure that finally fell from the sky.
"Little Alice, do you know where you are now?" An old man looked at the girl who was lying on the bed, still very concerned about his summons.
"It doesn't matter to my body, I just want to know if I succeeded in summoning." The girl asked stubbornly but stubbornly, but when she was about to sit up, she suddenly found that her hands had no strength at all, and she couldn't feel the magic that was usually like an arm, and the woman finally realized what was happening.
"It seems that you have realized that we have been treated, but unfortunately we have come to the conclusion that you can no longer use any magic." The old man didn't seem to want to make the result public, but he had to announce this desperate fact.
"So I'm failing?" The girl fell on the bed in a decadent manner, trying not to let herself cry, but tears still ran out of her closed eyelids.
"No, it can only be said that it was not successful, but it cannot be judged that it is a failure. Because, you did summon the void creatures, but you are no more than ......" The old man did not continue, but shook his head, turned and left, and as the old man left, the others also walked out with him.
"You'd better see for yourself, he's outside your house right now." The old man's voice came from outside the house, and at the same time there was a hint of regret.
When Alice heard the elder's words, she immediately knew that she had not completely failed, and tried her best to sit up with both hands to support herself, and then lifted the blanket that covered her, and regardless of the shoes placed on her bedside, she stumbled and rushed to the door, the dazzling sunlight made the girl's eyes dark, and hurriedly covered the sunlight with her hands, and after getting used to it for a while, she saw clearly that she was holding a familiar courtyard.
This is a hut made entirely of stone, and the yard is a yard surrounded by a fence, and there are some greens planted in the yard, but it can be clearly seen that the owner of the garden is not so careful to take care of it, and the vegetables that grow are sparse and dense, and there are some weeds growing in it, and a teenager is looking down at a vegetable at this time, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Who are you and what is your name?" Alice asked the teenager.
"You're awake!" The young man looked back at the girl who was standing by the door and looked at him, and after saying a word, there was no follow-up, and the two stood in the morning sun and looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Gradually, a disappointment appeared on the girl's face, although she had lost her magic, but her perception was still there, and he did not feel any magic fluctuations in the boy, that is, this was an ordinary person.
"What's your name?" Alice asked again, but unfortunately the boy was still silent, I don't know if he was shy or didn't want to say, Alice didn't force it, saw a huge "X" on the ground in front of the boy, looked at the boy again, and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then from today on, I'll call you Aix!" ”
"Aix?" The boy looked up and thought about it, and seemed to think it was good, so he smiled at the girl and nodded, agreeing with the name.
Except for the two of them, no one knew that the name of Aix, the future son of the Void, only came from a fork drawn on the ground with a branch when the boy was bored, and it was taken as a name by the girl.
"Hello Aix, my name is Alice."
"Hello, Alice." The boy smiled shyly, but unfortunately, when the boy looked up at the girl again, there was no girl anymore, and there was the sound of pouring water in the house.
"Valoran Continent, I didn't expect to come here. I don't know what those heroes are doing now, and if those beauties are really that beautiful. However, this Alice seems to be good, except for being a little cold, whether it is a figure or appearance, it is the best choice, then, those famous beauties should not disappoint too much! Aix, who had just received his name, couldn't help but fantasize.
