In just ten days, Mo Wen was able to simply use his talents to interfere with fate—for example, to make the village's farmer with a high fever recover early, and to survive the night in a thatched hut that collapsed on a stormy night...... Although these trivial things can be easily done by Mo Wen with spells, this is a big improvement in terms of Mo Wen's talent mastery.

At the same time, the secret method of "Heaven Thief" that Mo Wen had practiced was also very advanced, and there were several secret methods that he couldn't get started with before, and now they came naturally, overnight.

"I've taught you everything I can teach." Ten days later, the elven priest approached Mo and asked, "Let's go, the time is only twenty days, and you still have to look for a partner who can go through the trial with you." ”

"Can't you really team up with me?" Mo Wen was still a little unwilling, after all, he had developed a good impression of the elven priest who was also a teacher and friend in these days.

"Nope." The priest shook his head, "I still have to wait, for the arrival of another otherworldly traveler with the power of fate...... This is my mission. ”

"I understand...... Mo Wen nodded, and then bowed respectfully to Narif: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your advice in the past ten days, Mo Wen will take it to heart." ”

"There will be a date later."

……

[Continuing to the south is the Fireblade Tribe, and the kendo master Yunero is the protector of that orc tribe; The schanter Ayusha settled in the forest eight hundred kilometers northeast, where the Treant Guardian Ruftren was also inhabited...... None of the nearby heroes are a good fit for me. Mo Wen thought back to the information that Neriff had told him before leaving, and sighed slightly. [He should have known my choice a long time ago......]

"Give me the card master, Trist's bearings."

"Processing...... Card Master Trist haunts Ionia and can be found in the taverns of the city. ”

"Turn on cross-border transmission...... Target, Ionia City! ”

……

Ionia is not only a city-state, but also the name of an island, located in the northern part of the Guardian's Sea beyond the continent of Valoran, a paradise for spiritual evolution, with many sects on the island, but living in harmony; The majority of the island's inhabitants are humans, but there are many other races that call it home.

The Ionians are peaceful by nature and have long affirmed their neutrality in Valoran's political affairs...... It's a pity that even so, she is still coveted by Noxus because of her prosperity and wealth. A protracted war broke out between the two, which did not stop until League of Legends became influential enough, but by this time countless Ionians had already disappeared into the flames.

Ionia is also known as the city of gardens and temples, nature reserves and parks are everywhere, and ports and industrial areas are built to protect the environment as much as possible. The Ionians love the arts, writers and painters are endless, and it is a paradise for troubadours.

"So, what is Trist doing here? The underground casinos of Noxus and the black market of Bilgewater were the places he should be. Mo Wen stood on the top of the giant tree and looked at the magnificent giant city that was integrated with nature, and wondered in his heart.

[Finding someone in such a place is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack...... Let's just use the new tricks. Mo Wen closed his eyes.

……

"Sweetheart, you are like the white orchid that blooms in the early morning, fragrant and pure, let me unconsciously indulge in ......" The thick bass is full of male charm, the man hugs the girl's slender waist and gently breathes at her red earlobes.

Listening to the lover's sweet words, the girl snuggled in his arms was flushed, and her petite body couldn't help trembling, obviously confused.

The man gently pulled the girl with the ostrich out of his arms, and when his eyes met, the girl closed her eyes shyly; The man smiled and lowered his head slowly......

【！ Suddenly, the body of the man who was about to kiss the girl's cherry lips was stunned, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a thick color of vigilance.

"Huh?" The expected touch did not come for a long time, and the girl opened her eyes.

"It's okay......" The man chuckled, returned to his previous state, and slowly lowered his head: "It's just that I'm fascinated by your beauty......"

[Someone can peek into my fate! Enjoy this girl's youthful kiss, the man's heart is awe-inspiring. [Is there a new test subject for Xavier's old miscellaneous hair?] 】

……

"Huh......" [It's not easy.] Mo Wen reopened his eyes.

[If it weren't for Nerif's teachings, I guess I wouldn't have been able to break through his shield...... Worthy of the name of the guy who twists fate. Mo Wen jumped down from the giant tree, and instead of Edgeworth, he walked slowly towards the city on foot.

……

An hour later, in a remote tavern in Ionia.

"I thought the guy who snooped on my fate was Xavier's new test subject, but I didn't expect it to be the legendary traveler from another world." The card master sat next to Mo Wen and snapped his fingers: "Have a cup of colorful roses." ”

"Card Master...... You're not that strong. Mo Wen looked at the man sitting beside him, his long neat hair and thick beard did not make him look old-fashioned, and with the smile that always stood at the corner of his mouth, it gave people a sense of frivolity of a merry boy.

"You've seen through it...... But it doesn't matter, I'm just a gambler, not a fighter. In the face of Mo Wen's provocation, Trist nonchalantly picked up the cocktail handed over by the bartender and took a sip: "It's enough to have the ability to escape." ”

"Aren't you interested in that trial?" After previous inquiries, Mo Wen had already learned about the situation of the battle for the strongest crown in Valoran - similar to the Dota world, but it was called a trial of the gods.

"I'm just a gambler...... Card Master repeats it, "I just need to make money and live happily...... Besides, Valoran has countless heroes and heroes, and God's favor is my turn. ”

"If you really want to live happily, why would you betray your partner and risk your life to participate in magical experiments in order to master the power of magic?" When the word 'betrayal' was mentioned, Mo Wen's gaze was obviously sharpened: "What's more, isn't this trial a grand gamble?" I don't believe a gambler like you would stay out of it. ”

“…… To be clear, that bastard of Graves and I are not partners, we are just using each other. As if sensing the change in Mo Wen's aura, the gambler raised his hands innocently: "Also, I also want to participate in this gambling game...... But the current chips are a little weak. ”

"I can feel the power within you...... But it is impossible to win the battle by relying on great strength alone. The smile on the gambler's face faded, "If you want to enter the game with me, then prove your strength!" ”

"Fight with you now?"

"No...... I have an appointment tonight, and it's not good to hurt my waist. The card master had a cynical look on his face again: "Tomorrow you will come with me to meet someone...... As long as you have the strength to protect yourself in his hands, then I will recognize you as my companion. ”

"I refuse!" [The shelves are huge...... It's just the strength of a five-star hero, which is a notch worse than Nerif. Mo Wen narrowed his eyes: "You must know that not only are you choosing me, but I am also choosing you......"

"That's right......" Trist was silent for a moment, then casually threw a stack of coins on the bar, "Then follow me." ”

With that, the figure disappeared in place.

[Space Magic ......] Mo Wen's eyes flashed.

……

Five minutes later, outside the city of Ionia.

"Is this the battlefield you chose?" Mo Wen, who had just appeared on this wilderness, spoke up, but unfortunately he was answered by more than a dozen cards shining with magical brilliance.

There was a clanging sound, and the card was perfectly blocked by Mo Wen, but when Mo Wen's eyes looked at the direction of the attack, there was still Triste's figure.

[A good breath technique with spatial displacement, it's not so much that he is a magician, but that he is an assassin...... Excellent assassin. Mo Wen opened the Eye of Fate and looked around, intending to catch the gamblers lurking in the shadows.

【…… Can't hide! The card master is also experienced, so he can naturally feel Mo Wen's peeping at his fate, and he found that he could no longer sneak attack, and his figure flashed behind Mo Wen's left, and the red, yellow, and blue cards came out of his hand.

[Is it Q or W?] This level of attack ......] Mo Wen's spiritual power was excited, and the cloud shadow flew out.

……

Ionian City, Stargazing Observatory.

This high platform is the tallest building in Ionia, and at the top of the open-air high platform, an incomparably complex magic array shimmers with mysterious brilliance, and dense magic runes are lined up one after another, making it look like a shining starry sky at a glance. A woman sat cross-legged in the center, her exposed pale blue skin flowing with strange lines, the long golden threads on her forehead, and her silver-white hair tied into long braids, which were covered with leather bands at regular intervals, and her fluffy hair formed small balls, which looked quite strange.

She is the patron saint of Ionia and one of the few powerhouses in all of Valoran: the son of the stars, Soraka.

Suddenly, Soraka frowned and opened his eyes.

"Master?" The moment the Child of the Stars woke up, a woman appeared in front of her.

"A heroic battle broke out in the north of the city...... And magic was used. The demigod of Ionia frowned: "Cangxing, please help me deal with it." ”

"No problem...... the woman bowed slightly, and then disappeared in place.

……

"Hah...... You're better than me......" Trist could no longer maintain his image as a vagabond, his shirt was scorched, and his cowboy hat was reduced to crumbs in the previous collision.

"You're not weak...... Although Mo Wen looked calm and light on his face, he knew that in the short minute of the fight just now, he had already done his best—although some killing moves and methods were useless, Mo Wen believed that the other party also had reservations.

This shows that if the two fight to the death, even if Mo Wen can win, he will inevitably pay the corresponding price.

"Is that a basic mutual agreement? The Ionian enforcers are almost there......" Trist magically took out a new cowboy hat from the void and put it on his head, "I have an appointment tonight, see you tomorrow...... You should have a way to find me. ”

"As long as you don't deliberately hide yourself...... Mo Wen's expression moved: "It's approaching, I'll go first." ”

"It's getting more and more interesting...... the gambler stroked his hand, the scorch marks on his clothes disappeared, and he turned around and disappeared in place.

A moment later, a ray of light fell.

……

Early the next morning, in a tavern in Ionia.

"Since we want to cooperate, let's first exchange information between the two sides." Trist shook his glass slightly: "How much do you know about the powerhouses of our world?" ”

"The powerhouse of your world...... There should be more than 100 heroes in League of Legends, including most of them. ”

"That's right, except for a few old immortals in Demacia and Noxus, the powerhouses of the entire Valoran have basically registered in the War College." Card Master nodded, "But you know what? Although we heroes all have the power to influence a war, there is also a considerable gap between heroes. ”

“…… I would like to hear about it. Mo Wen nodded, but his thoughts unconsciously drifted back to a few days ago.

===== don't ask the dividing line of memories ===

"Yes, your talent for the Way of Destiny is more remarkable than I thought."

After a fierce battle, the oracle put down his staff with relief, "Just count the power of fate, you are already qualified to set foot in the realm of heroes." ”

"Heroic realm? Is it the level of strength divided by the world's powerhouses? ”

"Yes, but becoming a hero is just stepping into the threshold of the 'strong', above the heroes, there are legends, they are the masters of this world, the strongest under the gods!"

"Legendary?" Mo asked the pastor who looked at him in front of him, "Are you counted?" ”

"I'm just the pinnacle of heroes, and I'm still a long way from being a legend." The Elven Priest shook his head.

"Then how many legendary powerhouses do you know?" Mo Wen only knows that in the electronic world, Dota is divided into auxiliaries, ganker and late carry, one, two, three, four, and five positions; But in this real world, he still doesn't know what the strength of the heroes is...... He was curious.

"Fario, the master of nature, the prophet; Mirana, the darling of the moon god and priestess of the moon. Nightshade; the strongest dragon, the dragon knight Davion; Commander of the Seven Seas and Commander of the Fleet, Cuenca; Extinguishing Flame, Phoenix Icarus; Teddy, the son of the earth and the giant of the mountains; The leader of Pandaria, the panda wine fairy Manjix, these seven guys are the mainstay of the guardian of the World Tree...... That's right! And Zeus! This guy is usually in the middle and upper reaches of many heroes, but he is a god of sealing power after all. ”

"So he can unblock his power?"

"That's right, Zeus can unlock some of his seals at a critical moment, and with the exclusive artifact in his hand, Thor's hammer, he can completely compete with the legend...... But then he would fall into a long period of weakness. ”

"I see...... Mo Wen nodded, "What about the Lich King's minions?" ”

"Nyven Moore, the Monarch of Souls and Shadows, the Demon King of Shadows; Time Walker, Void Mask Duckettle; Lucifer, the messenger of doom; Arcane Master and Summoner Karl; Leoric, Lord of Death and Skeletron; Atropos, the source of pain; Winter Calder, the Bitter Spirit. ”

"There are seven over here, too......" Mo Wen silently wrote down the names, and then asked, "Is there a big difference between a legend and a hero?" ”

"In terms of destructive power, the difference between the two is not very large, and if two or three heroes join forces at the peak, they can defeat or even kill a weaker legend; But if the two are one-on-one, and the hero doesn't have artifact-level items, the win rate will definitely not exceed one percent. ”

"After all, legends are all existences that can already use the power of rules to fight."

===== dividing line at the end of the memory ===

"A powerhouse located at the apex of the whole world, we call it a demigod." There was a hint of longing in Trist's eyes: "I know that there are a total of thirteen demigods in existence, and in the entire Valoran, the number of demigods will definitely not exceed twenty. ”

"The reason why Ionia was able to resist the invasion of Noxes after the establishment of the War College was largely because they had two demigods: the Infinite Sword Master, Master Yi and the Children of the Stars, Soraka...... Moreover, Soraka had already stepped into the Divine Domain with half a foot at that time, and he could be called the strongest person in the entire Valoran! ”

"Oh...... So why is Ionia, with many heroes and two demigods, still being pressed and beaten by Noxus? ”

"It's simple." A faint mockery appeared in Trist's eyes: "There are many Ionian sects, and many forces have an indifferent attitude towards the invasion of Noxes, especially the Equilibrium sect...... Those guys thought that Noxus's aggression was nothing more than a clash of light and darkness, and that there was no need to intervene at all. ”

"And for heroes, demigods are not unbeatable; The Scarlet Assassins of Noxus, the Dreadnought Vanguard of Demacia, the Biochemical Legion of Zaun, the Magus of Piltover...... A team of this level is enough to pose a threat to the hero. ”

"Heroes are invincible, but they can be besieged by elites; Demigods look down on the world, and no matter how many elites there are, they will be sent to death, but they still can't ignore the existence of heroes......" Trist drank all the wine in his cup: "And Master Yi stepped into the demigods during the war of aggression in Noxus, and the realm is not stable, and a few heroes with skills like me can hold him back; Nocasas is powerful, Ionians are unanimous, and Zaun's gang of scientific lunatics experiment with weapons with impunity...... In the end, Soraka had to give up the opportunity to take the last half step, borrowing the power of the stars and the resentment of thousands of Ionian people, and directly used the curse to knock down the demigod of Zaun: Warwick the Soul Seeker, from a peerless scientist and an alchemical genius rarely seen in a thousand years into a bloodthirsty werewolf with no reason. ”

In short, the Sons of the Stars couldn't beat the table this time, and Ionia finally got a certain amount of respite: after Zaun lost his pillar, he was much more divided, and Noxus was afraid that Ionia would fight with them to the death, and finally let the old rival Demacian take advantage of it...... Over time. Wuji Sword Saint Yi has gained a firm foothold in the realm of demigods, and the League of Legends is growing in its wings, so this war will not be able to continue. ”

"The gap between heroes is not small: Jax, the master of weapons, Svein, the leader of the strategists, Galen, the power of Demacia, and the Darius of the hand of Noxus...... These guys are all the existence of the pinnacle of heroes, and their combat power is not far from that of demigods; Relatively heroic bombardiers, plagues of the sea, wild huntresses, and swift scouts can be dealt with by dozens of elites of these heroes, and all of them together are not the opponents of the five thousand bloody assassins of Noxus; There are also people like Poppy, the ambassador of steel, and Jace, the future guardian, do you think that a pair of armor and a set of equipment can make a person become a strong man? They are simply the existence hyped up by the forces. ”

"What about you?" Mo Wen suddenly spoke. "If I'm not mistaken, your power is nothing more than the product of magical experiments."

“…… But I've taken full control of my power. The card master's face froze, and then he quickly reacted: "Before I gained power, the hardships I put in were by no means comparable to that of the carefree little girl who struck iron and the gentleman scientist who only knew about banquets and scientific research. ”

"Okay...... And what about your strength? ”

"I'm just a gambler...... Although he couldn't beat Galen, he could still run away. The card master also knew that Mo Wen would definitely not be satisfied with this answer, so he added. That is, it is above average. ”

"Fortunately, this oracle trial is for all heroes who have registered in League of Legends, so Demacia and Noxus are not eligible to participate." Trist's laughter was full of malice: "Dukao who is hiding and Burnham who is pretending to be dead are probably going to regret their deaths." ”

"By the way, we also have to pay attention to those otherworldly heroes and void creatures: the power of the void is extremely corrosive, and it can already pose a threat to the demigods......" The card master glanced at Mo and asked, "And those summoned otherworldly heroes have always been mysterious, and no one knows how strong their strength is...... That's about all I can tell you, what about you? ”

“…… I don't know exactly the various methods of the travelers, but in terms of strength alone, I am also a strong group. Mo Wen's face was expressionless: "After all, in the previous competition, I was in the top eight." ”

"Looks like I drew a good card......" Trist whistled.

“…… This trial is more than just force. Mo asked, "Do you have any trustworthy companions in the alliance?" Didn't you want to find a guy to test my skills at first? ”

"I was looking for Master Yi, he was very measured and quite open to challenges...... But the trials are random, so you won't forget it. ”

"Just because you teleported randomly before doesn't mean you won't meet later...... I wonder who might be a bigger team. ”

“…… I have a good relationship with other people, except for my incompatibility with Graves...... Well, Evelyn can be trusted. Facing Mo Wen's gaze, Trist shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Understood...... [Widowmaker, one of Valoran's strongest assassins......] Mo Wen nodded: "There are still nineteen days left, do you have any plans?" ”

"I'm here on a tour, and I haven't seen enough of the scenery and beauties of Ionia."

“…… I'll give you a piece of advice, you're in pretty good shape, and you're going to have a good look at your martial arts skills. "[Does this guy still not fully believe in my strength? Also, I'd like to meet other heroes by the way. Mo Wen turned around: "Then I won't bother you...... Goodbye to the trial. ”

"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't waste your good space talent, read more related spell books." Card Master waved his hand nonchalantly.
