Chapter 15: Break Free, Weird Kieran!
"Calm, calm, calm!!"
Lux is going crazy, I don't know how many times along the way to remind Bobby, don't get excited, don't get excited, don't get excited! Don't let people who don't know think you're a nymphomaniac and a madman!
However, when Poppy knew from Rze's that the oracle wanted to see the two of them, he couldn't control the "power of the wilderness" in his body, and in fact, Lux himself was a little excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's finally here."
Lux patted her forehead, and finally arrived at Ryze's office, and Poppy was finally able to normalize!
Lux and Bobby went in directly after knocking on the door, but Ruiz didn't follow, because Ruiz was going to communicate with the teachers in the academy as soon as possible and give instructions, and it was better to complete the things assigned by the oracle as soon as possible, so that the students could be recruited as soon as possible, and they could also have more time to train, so as to prepare for the future war.
"Hi, Heavenly Oracle~"
At the first sight of the oracle, Bobby immediately said hello, in Bobby's heart, the oracle is still a hero, not to mention that there is a sense of intimacy with the oracle, so Bobby worships the oracle.
"Hey."
Lux also smiled and nodded, and waved her hand reservedly, which was a greeting, after all, they were girls! Don't be too proactive!
"Well, here we are."
Tianyu got up, patted Ruiwen's little head lightly, and said to Lux and Bobbi with a grin, "Then let's go, go out for a walk." ”
"Shopping, where are you going?!"
Both Lux and Bobby are confused, didn't Rze say that the oracle had told them both to go to the office? Why do you want to go out for a walk now?
"Hey, I'm not familiar with here, and I have a little guy with me, and I want to hang out with the little guy in the War College, but I don't know where to have fun, and I think about it, and I think of you two little guys."
The oracle said without blushing and without a beating heart, the emotional oracle is to treat Lux and Bobby as tour guides! Although it's the second time we've met, it's completely self-acquainted, so I'm not embarrassed at all!
"Little Guy !!"
Lux has a calm face, although I'm not big, I'm not small! Poppy didn't feel any of that, because yodelers are petite indeed.
"By the way, who's the other little guy? How do I feel like I've seen her somewhere. ”
Lux looked at Rui Wen suspiciously, last time in the Shurima Desert, she wanted to ask who the woman next to the oracle was, why she looked familiar, and now she finally had a chance.
"Oh, little one."
Tianyu casually patted Rui Wen's head and introduced: "Rui Wen." ”
Rui Wen then smiled and nodded, it was considered to have said hello, and Rui Wen knew that Lux and Bobby must have heard of her.
"Rivien! It's not already..."
Both Lux and Poppy's eyes widened in surprise, Lux and Poppy were born in Demacia, and naturally had heard of the female military god of Noxus, Rui Wen, but they had always only heard her name and never seen her.
Besides, didn't Noxus send a war report stating that Riven died in the Second Rune War that invaded Ionia? How can you still live so well! And also appeared in Shurima with the oracle?!
"Hey, can you believe those bastards?!"
The oracle's expression was a little disdainful, and he grimaced, and the oracle knew what Lux and Poppy wanted to say, and also scolded the leader of Noxus in an angry manner, and then drove Riven, Lux and Poppy like a fly.
"Let's go, let's go, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and it's hard to buy an inch of time! Treasure your time! Dear~"
Heavenly Oracle pretended to be atmospheric and impatient, and the three girls were pushed out helplessly, and the Heavenly Oracle took the door of Ruiz's office and wandered around the War College with the three girls, admiring the demeanor of the academy like a curious baby.
......
Ertistan
It's a land of ruins, and almost no living beings want to stop, because there is a huge amount of time magic here, and for some reason a time vortex has formed, and anyone who enters it will fall into the cycle of the time vortex and get lost in it.
In the Ruins of Ertistan, there was once a magnificent city that was wiped out in a terrible rune war long ago.
Like most of the land destroyed under the grand barrier of a prophecy.
Despite this, one survivor survived: a magician named Kieran. For a time-obsessed man like him, living in the city's clock tower is the perfect fit. As the flames of destruction threaten to reach his homeland, Kieran uses powerful instant magic to conduct an experiment to predict future possibilities in the hope of finding a peaceful solution.
However, Kieran's magic affected his perception of the passage of time, and Kiran was in a meditative stillness when Ertystan was attacked by a phalanx of unknown evil beings. By the time he realizes his mistake, Eltistan has turned into a smoldering ruin.
Barely had time to grieve over his great loss, when he discovered that his dangerous research had a brutal side effect: time-delaying malaise. This incredible side effect gave him immortality, but it also separated his consciousness from the time it was currently in, trapping him in a cycle of time vortex. Now he is mentally floating in time, from any point in time he has experienced to the present, but he cannot influence the future.
The most painful part of this curse is that Kiran immerses himself in the past of Ertistan and spends the rest of his time in the bleak ruins of Ertistan. There is nothing more painful in life than knowing that you are going to lose, but it has not happened yet!
At this time, on the ruins, Kieran walked aimlessly step by step, Kieran was very small, but he carried a huge clock on his back. Kieran's white hair and long beard fluttered in the wind casually, and it was very messy.
"The wind is blowing."
Kieran thought to himself, the endless loneliness almost made Kieran forget how to speak. Kieran looked up slightly, but all he saw was ruins, but in Kieran's eyes, everything in the past was vivid, and this place should have been prosperous and peaceful, but it was destroyed in an invading rune war thousands of years ago.
Kiran continued to walk, it didn't matter where he went, the important thing was to keep going until he could break free from the time vortex.
One step at a time, two steps...
100 steps...
10,000 steps, 100,000 steps...
Kiran kept walking, not knowing how long, not knowing how far, not knowing if he had reached the end of the ruins of Ertistan. In a way: Kiran is indeed immortal, and time means nothing to Kiran. Oh no, the only thing time means to Kieran: it's torture.
I don't know what time it was, but Kieran suddenly stopped, but the clock on his back was still turning, and Kieran turned his head to the left mechanically, where there was nothing but a mess.
Kieran's eyes were blank, it was the sequelae of being lonely for too long, and his unfocused eyes began to stare at the slowly raised left hand, Kieran's hands were very slender and a little old, although time did not leave traces of time on Kieran's body, but that kind of vicissitudes could not be erased.
Kieran moved his hand mechanically again, that is, he simply made a grasping action, once or twice, three times or four times, Kieran moved to start, and this time Kieran actually felt that his hand was slowly changing, which was a very wonderful change: from weak to strong, from strong to peak, from peak to decay.
It is as if the life of man is being staged in the hands of Kieran!
Kiran tentatively opened his hands, the movements were very mechanical and slow, and when he slowly opened his hands again, Kieran felt the power of time that he had felt countless times, and Kiran lowered his hands again, it was time going backwards.
Kieran opened his hands again, and lowered them again, and the time vortex spun again—Kieran looked at his left hand, and Kieran opened his hand and put it down......
Kieran can control the power of time, but he can't break free from his own power of time. It's weird, but it's there.
Finally, Kieran opened his hand again, this time he didn't let go, Kieran closed his eyes with relief, time slowly stood still, Kieran's body froze, a light and shadow carved out of a mold Kieran gradually separated from Kieran's body, this is Kieran's spirit!
Kieran's spirit slowly detached from his body, and an invisible but ubiquitous, all-time power forcibly involved Kieran, which was the power of time! Kiran's spirit has done what it has done countless times - to swim in the chaotic river of time!
This is a river of time, you can meet a corner of the future, but it is not a real river of time, this river of time is only a river of time in the sense, because the river of time does not exist at all! Because there is an element of instability in everything, just like a butterfly howling in the wetland, perhaps with a few flicks of its wings, the distant sea of watch and the sea of conquest will roll up stormy waves!
Gradually, Kieran's spirit is no longer swimming in the river of time, but returning to Kieran's body! It's unusual! Because here, time is not dominated by Kieran in the time vortex!
When the spirit and the body merge together, Kieran's outstretched hands emit a soft ball of light that looks mysterious, as it involves the power of time.
"The clock is ticking."
There was a hint of joy in Kieran's voice, but the vicissitudes of life and the kind timbre could not be changed, Kieran felt the passage of time, and this was Kieran's opportunity to break free from the time vortex!
The light on Kieran's hands turned into two clocks under Kieran's traction, and then between his hands, a staff gradually appeared—the Staff of Time! The moment the Time Stick appeared, it began to change color purplish-red! It looks bloody and evil.
At the same time, Kieran's full head of gray hair and long beard became thicker, and Kieran's eyes turned from a distant white demon to a bloody color! Kiran's hands were no exception, covered in blood-colored secret lines one after another!
Even Kieran's white outfit that had been worn for an unknown amount of time had turned into a new blood-colored outfit!
Even—two blood-colored demonic horns popped out of Kiran's forehead!
"Is he a god?"
This is Kieran's last question in the Ruins of Ertistan!
