Chapter 1: Tasks
17 years of the Valoran calendar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seventeen years after the end of the Second Rune War, Noxus' strength is unmatched. But the Land of Runeterris seems to have entered an era of peaceful development, with Demacia, Ionia, and Piltover establishing friendly relations during the war, while Noxus is closely associated with Zaun.
Blue Flame Island, no, now Blue Flame Island can be equated with Bilgewater, the three island chains have been divided between Bilgewater's forces, and Bilgewater has integrated Blue Flame Island into a new city-state.
Of course, Bilgewater is still best known for his pirates.
Although Bandel City realized that it could not be isolated from the world, due to geographical factors, it only sent a few people to go outside and establish contact with the outside world.
The horror of the undead on Shadow Island has always been alive and well in Bilgewater, but the only way to really feel it is during the Night of the Eclipse of Souls, and of course, no one but the madmen want to face those terrible undead creatures, even the most vicious pirates.
Shurima, an endless desert that few people have set foot in, and for many years it seemed that only the sun's rays were hotter.
If the countries (or city-states) in the Runeterras could have been peaceful, perhaps the War College would not have been established, but there is no such thing.
Noxus, whose country's strength is growing rapidly, is no longer satisfied with being in a corner, and the Noxus No. 1 goal led by Svein: there can only be one voice in the Land of Runeterra, the voice of Noxus!
To this end, Noxus is willing to wage a third rune war to conquer everything in the simplest and most brutal way.
However, after two rune-wars, the land of runetimes has long been fragile, and the war requires a very large amount of magical power, and the misuse of magic has caused the world to be extremely unstable.
Large earthquakes, whether natural or magical, are commonplace. The full geological spectrum has revealed the fact that the scorching desert land and the desolate frozen tundra are getting closer and closer. The terrifying heat wave followed by a cold blizzard is completely at odds with the changing seasons.
The most terrifying point, and at the same time the least known secret, is that the spatial barrier of the entire Runeterrae Land has become thinner and thinner! When the space barrier is broken, it will also be the time for space creatures from other dimensions to advance.
This secret is known to only five beings in the entire Land of Runeterra: Soraka, Cassadine, Kiran, Ryz, and Bard. Of course, there are no wonders in the universe, and there may be other beings who know and don't know.
Although the reason why the Third Runewar War must not be started in the Land of Runeterras is known to five beings, Sorakar can only recuperate quietly in Ionia due to the curse, and continue to follow the power of the stars.
Cassadine also knew, but was limited by the power of the Void and could not intervene in the battle in the Land of Runeterra. Besides, Cassadine still has to find those lost secrets.
Bard also knew, but Bard was only a spirit, and perhaps in the future, when the Runeterras were about to be destroyed, Bard would help—leaving a spark of hope.
Although the rest of Ruiz and Kiran understand, their personal strength is too small after all, not to mention that Kiran is still trapped in the whirlpool of time. It's almost impossible to extricate yourself, and you're in constant danger of getting lost.
However, when Kieran was sober, he sensed the ambition of the ruler of Noxus, and told Ryze, who also knew the secret, that he wanted Ryze to find a way to stop the expansion of Noxus, after all, Noxus would need a lot of time to prepare for war.
Despite the relative abundance of time, Ryze's attempt to stop Noxus from launching the Third Rune War with the power of one person is tantamount to a fool's dream!
In desperation, Ruiz wanders to various parts of the Runeterras in search of powerful, peace-loving creatures who have a deep affection for the Runeterras.
Luckily, after three years of wandering, Ruiz gathered a large number of friends and founded the famous War College in the Runeterras on the continent of Valoran, hoping to prevent or delay the arrival of the Third Runeterra.
......
In the third year of the Valoran calendar, the War College was officially established, and the original War College was a single school, located on a giant crystal hub, shaped from obsidian, precious metals, and magic. The War College was carefully chosen by Reze to be located between the rival city-states of Demacia and Noxus, and the first prerequisite for joining the War College was to keep the peace, not to plan, and to participate in any war!
In the 6th year of the Valoran calendar, the War College was considered the top institution in the Land of Runeterra, and it was the ivory tower that countless students who wanted to learn magic were most desired.
In the 9th year of the Valoran calendar, the Battle Array College was expanded, and five new branches were built from the original college. Because the War College treats everyone equally, and welcomes those who love peace, non-human creatures join, there is another enrollment frenzy in the Land of Runeterra.
In the 12th year of the Valoran calendar, the forces of the War College already had some capital that could talk to the powerful states (city-states) of Noxus, Demacia, Piltover, Zaun, and Freljord on an equal footing.
In the 15th year of the Valoran calendar, Noxus was about to move, and the War College proposed to Noxus for an academic exchange activity, and Ruiz and Svein met secretly, no one knew what happened and what was carried out, but since that meeting, Noxus has temporarily restrained a lot.
In the 17th year of the Valoran calendar, Kiran temporarily forcibly broke free from the time vortex and sent a message to Ruiz with magic as a medium!
......
Inside the War College
Dean's Office
Sitting in a chair looking at the thorny walls of the room, Ryze muttered something and his eyes were scattered, a habit that Ryze had subconsciously developed over the years, whenever he thought deeply about something, his pupils would always widen, and his gaze would always be casual, as if he had no focal length. Maybe it's because of the magic of thorns.
"Knock Knock"
A soft knock outside the door pulled Ryze's thoughts back.
Ruiz exhaled a cloudy breath, turned his head in the direction of the door, and said, "Please come in." ”
The door gradually opened, and I saw a man wearing a cowboy hat, a white shirt, a brown suit, and a pair of brown jeans underneath, but a pair of exquisite sea dragon leather boots under his feet, it is said that there are no more than three pairs in the world! Who knows, though?
The visitor quietly closed the door and walked up to Rhyse, only to raise his head and smile confidently in his signature.
"Trist, you should understand the importance of this mission! Don't mess around like you did the first few times! Rhyze reminded as he handed Trist a card.
Trist took Ruiz's card, which was a card with three colors: red, yellow, and blue, and Trist couldn't help but rub it carefully, his eyes were full of love, as if he had seen his dearest person.
"Heh, today is my lucky day, I've done it!" Trist smiled and hid the tricolor card in his sleeve pocket, and a little light began to shine from under the boots of the sea dragon skin, "Goodbye! Trist said, "But don't worry, it's all in the cards!" ”
Abruptly, Trist disappeared in front of Ryze's eyes, as if he had never been, leaving only a card that was slowly falling.
Ruiz picked up the card that had already been blank, pinched it in his right hand and played with it, and muttered, "Old man, do you think he will succeed?" I always feel a little uneasy! ”
......
Noxus, High Command.
"Looking for the Cursed?" Darius looked up, a flash of astonishment in his eyes, and then asked again, "Curse?" Qianjue's curse? ”
Absently, Svein placed a classified document on the table, and on Svein's left shoulder stood an eerie little bird, as if it were glued to his shoulder.
"Quack~Quack~"
The bird suddenly chirped.
Svein just glanced at the birdie on his shoulder, and then stopped calling.
Svein's eyes were sharp, but the mask on his face did a good job of hiding Svein's current expression.
"Take your Black Cutter with you, this trip won't be as easy as you think!" Seeing that Darius didn't bring the Black Cutter with him, Svein knew what Darius was thinking.
Darius was even more stunned, Black Cutter? This is his proudest weapon! Unless it's ...... But is it really hard this time? Or is it because of Qianjue?
"Yes!"
Darius answered, and prepared to leave, for Darius would never doubt Svein's decision and advice, and would not doubt it since the day Lesser met Svein! Don't dare to doubt it!
Just as Darius was leaving, Svein stopped Darius, and Dariuston paused, not looking back.
"Remember, what you need to pay attention to this time is not the people of Demacia, nor the people of the War College, nor the Qian Jue who is rumored to appear, but the cursed person!"
"Yes!"
Darius agreed, the corners of his mouth raised, all showing domineering, and the person who could continue to promise the supreme glory title of the Hand of Xas, wouldn't he not have strong strength to support him?
"The one who was cursed by Qianjue, the one who made me careful? Wait for me! I'll send you on your way with my own hands! ”
The High Command after Darius left, it was quiet, only Svein was alone in the empty room, oh no, and... A little bird, a very eerie little bird.
"The more enemies... The more fun you have... The more disappointed it is......"
Svein stood up slowly, picked up the crutch beside him and limped, dragged one leg, and walked to the window of the room, staring at Darius who had just walked a short distance, and put his hands on the crutches in layers, as if calculating something.
