484 A fork in the road of rune temptation
A mage with a round scroll on his back stepped out of the spatial passage and walked forward, and several powerful mages along the way looked at him with complicated expressions before retracting their gaze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info For the past tens or even hundreds of years, they have been carefully avoiding him until the official appearance of the will of the planet......
Ryze is known to be one of the most sophisticated and powerful mages in the Land of Runeterra, and is considered to have been alive for at least five hundred years.
The Archmage was founded on his unbreakable determination and vast knowledge of the occult arts, which had sustained him for centuries in his search for the runes of the world—the fragments of the primordial magic that had transformed the planet and shaped everything. Before the Will of the Planet is in control, Ryze is tasked with finding and hiding these mysterious characters before they fall into the wrong hands, as they were used to create Runeterra, but they can also be used to destroy them......
When Ryze first heard about this powerful arcane power lurking around the world, he was a young man in the prime of life. On one occasion, he was out on a diplomatic lobbying mission and overheard his mentor Tyrus talking to another aging mage. They lowered their voices and talked about something with dangerous potential, called "World Runes". Then, noticing his student, Tyrus immediately shut up, clutching the scroll in his hand.
In the decades that followed, more and more runes of various levels were unearthed, and more and more people became aware of the existence of the top world runes. The brightest and most powerful people in the world have studied these ancient characters, and many believe that the existence of runes is closely related to the creation of Runeterra, and a few of them have realized the power within. And the first use of these mysterious relics had catastrophic consequences, changing the landscape of an entire country. Suspicion and suspicion began to spread rapidly between nations, as people fantasized about using this "power of the creator" as a weapon.
Tyrus and Ryze traveled back and forth between countries, trying to quell the panic that had spilled over the hearts of the people, and called on them to exercise restraint. Helplessly, their lobbying visits became more and more dangerous. While they fearlessly succeeded in averting many catastrophes, Ryze could sense that his mentor was becoming more and more desperate.
The ambitions of the nations became more and more disdainful, and on this day, after the persuasion of Tyrus and Ruiz failed, they hurriedly fled and fled to a mountainside, when the battle broke out. Ruiz flashed through the collapse of the mountain road, the earth seemed to cry out and gag, and the sky trembled like a dying day. Tyrus grabbed Rhyse and yelled at him in the face, but his voice was swallowed up by the supernatural silence around him. For the first time, they witnessed the effects of two World Runes being activated.
A few seconds later, the world had subsided. Reze and Tyrus climbed to the top of a nearby remaining hill and looked out at the place where the two armies were fighting. What presented them was a frightening scene of madness, and the magnitude of the destruction was beyond any physical law. The army, the mountains, the land, all gone! The ocean, which was supposed to be outside of the day's itinerary, is now rushing in!
Ruiz fell to his knees, staring distractedly at the new void in the world that had razed everything to the ground, leaving nothing unspared, including his former homeland......
After that, a large-scale war broke out on the Runeterone Continent. The catastrophe of war using the power of runes has ignited fear and murderous intent in the hearts of the people, and the people now finally understand the power in their hands. Even Ryze wants to join the conflict in order to avoid more destruction and more suffering from the fate of his fellow citizens. But Tyrus took his lover's hand and warned him that the path of revenge would only lead to more heart-wrenching endings. Ruiz was at first annoyed by his mentor's words, but he finally figured out his mentor's lofty wisdom.
With the support of Ruiz and other visionary men, Tyrus persisted in his work, trying to keep all of the world's runes out of human's reach. Their efforts brought more hope to the Land of Runeterra, but in the meantime, Tyrus seemed to be crumbling.
Ruiz, the closest student, saw that his mentor was becoming more and more alienated. Tyrus was still in charge of the runes, but he began to assign tasks that were insignificant to his most reliant student, Rieze.
Just as Rhyz was completing one of his trivial tasks, he received news from outside of his existing channels that another disaster had occurred. This time in the southwest of the Valoran continent, Acacia. He immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, thinking about his mentor and best friend, hoping that Tyrus would survive safely.
Upon arriving, Ruiz was pleased to see that Tyrus was unharmed, but unfortunately, his peace of mind quickly turned to worry. Inside the tightly bound scroll that he was never allowed to look at, there were two world runes when it was spread out!
The old mage lightly explained that as long as the world runes were under the control of power, he had no choice but to use them personally.
Ruiz realizes to his horror that Tyrus is not only a survivor of this disaster, but also the initiator!
Without thinking too much about it, Tyrus continued to tell his students that humans were just reckless children who were playing with forces they didn't know they couldn't control. He can no longer play the role of a polite diplomat, tirelessly lobbying for the megalomaniacal warlord. He had to intervene to stop them.
Buzzing in his ears and tumbling in his heart, Ruiz wanted to move with emotion and reason, but Tyrus's performance was like a stone. This man is no longer the model of life with infinite wisdom that he has admired since childhood, and his mind has become flawed, and he can be tempted like a fool in his mouth. The runes had corrupted him deeply, and he was destined to use them again and again, eating away at the whole world again and again, little by little.
Recognizing this, Ruiz knew that he had to do it, even if it was to destroy his only true mentor and friend.
He raised his hand, trembling a little.
At the same time, Tyrus also reached out emotionally, wanting to pick up the rune, clearly showing his determination to give up this power even if he died. This instant thrill of this action made up his mind and attacked his mentor with all the arcane energy he had. And in this instant, the corrupted old mage was defenseless against the student who had admired him since childhood, and in a few moments, Tyrus turned into a corpse and lay on the floor with embers......
Trembling and terrified, Ryze was stunned to find that he was accompanied only by the runes of the world, their flashes of light that seemed to invite him to claim them for himself.
Reze plucked up his courage and picked up the two strange-shaped runes one by one, and the moment he grasped both, he immediately felt that he was being transformed into something more powerful, or rather terrifying, that he would never be able to achieve by his own cultivation......
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Ruiz trembled and dropped the rune, only to find that the entire blue-purple skin could not be turned back, and the mysterious rune branded on his body had not completely faded, still emitting a faint light, and he retreated in more and more horror.
If the corrupting power of these sigils could overcome the strength and integrity of Tyrus, then how could they possibly deal with it? But then Ruiz realized that if he just left, someone else would find and use the runes.
At this moment, Ruiz fully realized the enormity of his mission. As long as there are any World Runes in the hands of power, the Rune Wars will continue, and the entire Rune Lands will be destroyed!
Ryze didn't know what to do next, when he saw the scroll that Tyrus had been carrying. He tried to open the scroll, and was immediately enlightened by the dazzling light. Suddenly, Reze realized his mission, more complete and determined than his mentor.
Since that day, Ruiz has been wandering, and the mysterious voice has been guiding him, guiding and intimidating him.
Correspondingly, Ryze resisted the power that every psychic world rune promised him all the time, choosing to seal this type of rune in a hidden location to ensure that no one could use it......
