Chapter 376: Curses and Ancient Crystals
Historical records show that when the ancestors sincerely asked the mages for confirmation, all the stones, metals, woods, and other things in the entire territory of Demacia made a strange movement, as if to protect the ancestors from being killed by the angry mages.
Eventually, the evil mages recognized their mistake and left the fleeing band, and the ancestors established the original Demacia in the area.
Since then, Demacia has become synonymous with the forbidden demons of the whole continent, and no mage can come here to release his magic at will, otherwise he will be restrained by the environment here.
When Demacia's soldiers go out on battle, they will use carefully selected forbidden metals to create weapons, and they will also wear forbidden runes, just to fight against the enemy army of mage teams.
The original Demacia has since expanded to the point where stones, metals, and woods that exhibit forbidden properties have been collected and made the preserve of nobles and kings.
In the center of the royal city, there is a stone statue up to a kilometer high, carved from the forbidden magic stone, which was the first time that the Demacian army tried to transport a large forbidden magic stone with the army, and the result effectively created a demon-free realm in the entire battlefield, turning all the opposing mages into squibs.
Since then, these tall stone giants have become a symbol of Demacia's army and a symbol of royal power, and the first generation of giants finally retired after hundreds of years of conquest and were placed in the center of the royal city for the people to admire.
Forbidden metals have also become munitions, and any form of trafficking and trade is prohibited, and only the most elite soldiers are eligible to use forbidden weapons; Now the famous Dreadnought Vanguard Legion is the team that is fully equipped with forbidden magic weapons.
Mo Tie couldn't believe all the records in the history books, especially the story of ordinary people who bitterly persuaded the mage to leave.
Based on Zelas' observations of the curse on the Forbidden Stone, he believed that it contained a deep love of resentment.
First of all, it should be noted that Zelas was a very intelligent man during the ancient Shurima period, and he once single-handedly read through all the books in the National Library of Nasus, which even the library's founder, Nasus, could not do.
Second, he was a powerful ascendant, a mage with deep insight into arcane power; And there is always some intercommunication between supernatural forces.
That's why he was able to faintly see the traces of the curse on the forbidden stone.
In the past few hundred years, there have been few mages as powerful and profound as him, and Demacia has completely forbidden the people to learn or use magic, so that no one has discovered the mystery of the forbidden magic.
"Love and hate? That's what the curse is about? Mo Tie felt a little strange, two emotions can ban all magical powers?
"No, that's the origin of the curse." Zelas tried to describe in words what he saw—after all, magic is sometimes impossible to use, "and they are not just emotions, they must contain some kind of willpower, these strong wills communicate with the source of magic, cut off all sense of the outside world, and cause the stone and metal to have the property of forbidden magic." ”
Mo Tie still didn't understand enough, he wasn't at all familiar with such a thing as a curse, but he could make a reasonable guess.
Perhaps it was the curse issued by the mages who were discovered by the ancestors of Demacia, and some of them felt guilty about ordinary people, so they blessed ordinary people to no longer be harmed by magic; Some resented the common people and cursed that they and their descendants would never receive the grace of magic - is that why there have been few mages in Demacia for hundreds of years?
"Unfortunately, regardless of how the curse came about, it's still essentially magic, not a property of the stones and metals themselves." Mo Tie said regretfully.
In fact, the essence of Mjölnir is also related to magic, but it is not entirely the result of magic, it itself is the product of the collapse of a star, and the fire source really spent a lot of energy to replicate it, and there are some accidental factors.
But in any case, there is no way to copy the forbidden metal, perhaps because the material itself is not qualified, or maybe the curse is too much in the realm of magic.
This is the only thing Mo Tie really regrets.
If he can replicate this metal, then he can really take on all the heroes of Valoran alone.
After giving up copying the forbidden metal, Mo Tie wholeheartedly taught Lux to control his powers.
In fact, he can't teach this, it's all thanks to Zeros.
Luckily, Lux was undoubtedly blessed with a god-like ascendant who laid the foundation for her magic and saved her many detours in the future.
As the days passed, the smile on Lux's face grew, but the face of the Lady Crownguard became more and more sad.
She could not hide from her heart, could not bear the feeling of her conscience being whipped by the laws of Demacia.
More than once, she wanted to discuss with her daughter and let the Demon Destroyer come to the house to solve this trouble.
But each time she saw Lux's growing smile, she swallowed the persuasion that came to her lips.
Originally, the head of the crown guard family should have noticed her abnormality, but recently, the situation in Noxus and Ionia has become more and more complicated, and he has all his mind on politics, and he has no time to care about his wife's face.
Ionia is undoubtedly powerful, it has many schools and strong people, it worships martial arts, it advocates duels; But this country has not experienced war for too long, and the last time Noxus invaded it at a high price, what will they do to resist this time?
Similarly, the invasion gave Noxus a taste of it, as they discovered that Ionia was just a large bull, powerful but too docile.
This time, they united the alchemist of Zaun, who was short of money, and the aristocratic family master who was afraid of death, and landed in Ionia from different regions, ready to swallow this piece of fat in one bite.
Demacia and the War College have been mediating in the middle, and they have even secretly sent some of the Intrepid Vanguard fighters to participate in the confrontation on the front line, just to buy more time for mediation.
Vice Dean Reze of the War College kept persuading Svein, the leader of Noxus, to warn him that his true enemies were still watching the continent in the shadows.
This obviously did not shake Svein's resolve.
King Demacia is discussing with Dean Kieran to use the Ancient Crystal to give Noxus and Ionia a contest to decide the fate of the nation.
The competition will take place at the War College, and both sides can send any personnel to participate.
The content is a simulated war in a place called Summoning Canyon, and the first side to break the base crystal wins.
