Chapter 40: Desert Upheaval
Ezreal thought about it again when he came to this desert in a steam airship for the second time, the steam airship also crashed, Ezreal thought about it seriously, and found that there were basically no birds seen in the entire desert, but nothing bad had ever happened when he flew with the Future Warrior mecha, and it was estimated that it was related to the energy drive of this arm guard in his hand, but this is just speculation, and there is no factual basis.
Ezreal was puzzled, so he asked Ramos, "Do you know what the arm guard on my left hand is, I have been to the desert once before, and I went to a place with many pyramids, and since this arm guard has been on my hand, I have never been able to take it off." Ramos looked at the arm guard on Ezreal's hand as he walked and said: "I don't know what this thing is, but there is a faint feeling of closeness, usually the humans I meet, I will expel them from my desert kingdom at the first time, but I subconsciously want to play games with you, I have a feeling of meeting a very familiar friend, this feeling comes from your arm guard." ”
It only now dawned on Ezreal that the desert must have been filled with adventurers and caravans passing through every year, but Ramos guided them away, leaving Galen and himself behind, because his own armguards attracted him. After figuring it out, Ezreal was still a little narcissistic and said, "I always thought it was because I was so handsome that I attracted you to keep me to play with." Ramos said inadvertently: "You're better looking than a lot of people I've ever met." ”
Ezreal suddenly felt that he had found a soulmate, super happy, and originally wanted to bend down and hug Ramos, but found that he was still carrying Galen, so he gave up, and then said to Ramos: "You are so right, I appreciate people like you who tell the truth." Ramos was a little puzzled, why Ezreal was so happy, he could make him happy like this with a casual word, some people were really weird.
Ezreal felt very good, so he discussed his appearance with Ramos all the way, Ramos always said that Ezreal was basically good-looking, Ezreal was very happy, and kept talking like this, Ramos was not bored, and the two of them talked while walking, and soon arrived at Ramos's desert kingdom.
Ramos said: "It's almost at the entrance, I can't go down with you, you have to be careful with Galen on your back, don't fly until you have to." Ezreal also stopped discussing his appearance, and knew that he was going to get down to business, so he said to Ramos: "I know, I'll be careful." Ramos said, "Follow me, no matter how you go." With that, he began to leave, and Ezreal followed.
At the beginning of the walk, Ramos was still walking normally, and after walking a straight road, Ramos began to continue to lean to one side, and Ezreal could even feel that this walk would keep spinning, and it would not take long to walk in a circle and return to the original point. Ezreal asked Ramos puzzled: "Why do we keep turning, don't we go around in circles when we go far?" Ramos said: "We've been going straight all the time, but you feel like you're in circles, and there's arcane magic in this place that interferes with your senses, and you see and feel something that distorts a certain amount, that's why you feel that way." ”
Ezreal knew that what Ramos said was true, but it was still difficult to accept it, and in his heart he was still more inclined to his own feelings, always thinking that what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears was true. Ezreal threw out his messy thoughts and followed Ramos with all his spirits, fearing that he would lose himself if he didn't follow Ramos without paying attention. Ezreal changed his talkative personality and walked so far with Ramos that he didn't say a word.
Ezreal walked a long way, but kept following Ramos around the corner, and his head was a little dizzy, and Ezreal got a little impatient, so he said, "Ramos, how long will it take to get to that entrance?" Ramos stopped and said, "Here we are, this is it." Ezreal looked around, all of them were flat deserts, without a single undulation, and wondered where the entrance Ramos was talking about. Without waiting for Ezreal to speak, Ramos directly began to cast a spell to summon the entrance.
Ramos's head emitted an irregular white light like lightning, and the surrounding environment began to distort, with strong winds and yellow sand. Ezreal couldn't see the situation clearly, so he had to stabilize his body and wait for Ramos's summoning ritual to complete. Ezreal waited for a long time, the lightning on Ramos's head gradually decreased, the wind gradually stopped, and the flying sand slowly fell. The first thing Ezreal saw was Ramos, so he asked Ramos, "Was the summoning successful?"
Now Ramos is very weak, as if he has used up all his strength, and said weakly: "It worked, but I am very tired now, I want to sleep." Ezreal knew that Ramos should have consumed a lot of energy, but the most important thing at this time was to let Ramos tell him the location of the entrance, and immediately said: "Ramos, quickly tell me the location of the entrance." Ramos didn't speak, but weakly pointed to the north.
Ezreal saw that there was a faint road due north, so he said, "Can you get there by walking directly to the north?" Ramos nodded, and finally said weakly: "There will be bad things happening in the whole continent, you should be careful, this is the news I received after I cast the spell, I went to sleep, I was really sleepy." Ezreal was puzzled, not knowing what Ramos meant by this, but silently wrote it down. When Ezreal knew the direction, he said to Ramos, "Go to sleep, and I will go all the way north to find the pyramid and wake up Galen." Ramos dug a hole in the same place, and then fell asleep, Ezreal couldn't see Ramos all of a sudden, thinking that Ramos was really too tired to find a hidden place to sleep, but such an environment should not be too much of a problem.
After Ezreal thought about it, he looked at the place where Ramos dug the hole, and thought that Ramos was safe, so he didn't help him hide the traces again, and directly carried Galen on his back in the direction of due north, step by step. Ezreal always felt that something was wrong, this desert seemed to have changed a lot, such a strange feeling was passed on to him by the arm guard in his hand, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any changes, Ezreal threw away these abnormal emotions, looked at Galen who was unconscious behind him, and then concentrated on rushing to the road.
If Ezreal dared to fly into the sky to see it, Ezreal would not believe the change in this desert. Since Ramos summoned the entrance, the pyramid in the center of the desert slowly rose from under the desert, many pyramids slowly revealed, and some only emerged from the top of a pyramid, but all of them were slowly rising, and the sand slowly slipped from the semi-inclined walls of the pyramid. The entire center shook slightly, and it didn't take long for the pyramids hidden under the desert to be fully revealed. The former glory of Shurima can be seen in these magnificent pyramids, and these buildings are really magnificent and ingenious.
Returning to Ramos's desert kingdom again, the entire desert area controlled by Ramos began to crumble, all the sand dunes, everything that was a little taller began to crumble, and the speed of the collapse was so fast that it looked like the end of the world. Ramos would be sad to see the desert kingdom he had built for so many years collapse, but Ramos was asleep. After a while, the entire desert kingdom collapsed, many parts of the desert began to collapse, and there was a more miserable caravan that happened to pass through the desert, and the whole army was wiped out and buried in the sand.
Ezreal felt the shaking of the ground at the beginning, thinking that it was the after-effects of Ramos's spell, and there was nothing special, so he walked normally on the slightly shaking desert. Soon after, the desert began to calm down, and the whole desert border town took on a different look, and basically everything changed. The worst thing is that the entire desert began to be completely exposed, and without the magic barrier, the desert creatures did not have any restraints, which means that now any desert creatures can leave the desert and will not be constrained by the desert.
In particular, the powerful desert creatures are the first to feel that there is no longer anything that binds them, such as the Beastmaster of the Hidden Land, the Crystal Scorpion. The crystal scorpion said resentfully: "It's really the heavens who are helping me, the desert has no restraint on me, and I can leave when I recover from my injuries, Ramos and two despicable humans, you wait." "Some of the less powerful desert creatures on the edge of the desert began to go berserk when they were no longer restrained, and they came out of the desert to attack humans and other living creatures, and the whole border between the desert and other places was chaotic.
Deep in the center of the desert, there is a large cavern underground, and the whole cavern is a super large altar. The originally dark cavern lit up all at once, and the magic lamps around the altar emitted a soft pale green light. In the center of the altar is a humanoid object that looks like a corpse. If Galen was here, he would be surprised, this thing is completely composed of rune fragments, what is such a complete and so many runes for.
Suddenly, an incomparably dazzling white light shot from the sky, directly penetrating the desert, shooting into the depths of the desert, shining on the fragment of the humanoid rune. After a while, the center of the whole humanoid thing began to glow, and all of a sudden the light was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. The light gradually dimmed, the light dissipated, and a humanoid monster with two eyes glowing green appeared in the center of the altar, and the whole body of this monster was shining with thunder and lightning, as if it had the energy to destroy the world.
The humanoid creature on the altar began to move its arms and head, and where it moved, lightning flashed, and there was an indescribable strangeness. The creature spoke, and said to itself in an evil tone: "I, Zelas, have finally returned, almost a thousand years, the sixth rune war has begun, I am really looking forward to this rune war, I have been lonely for too long, and it will not be long before I can be happily slaughtered." I haven't used this body for too long, so I'm not used to it, so I need to get familiar with this body. The evil creature Zelas struggled for a moment, and said with some unhappiness: "This seal is still too tight, it will take me a long time to break it, I have to lure a fool to help me break the seal, I really can't wait to go out and slaughter." ”
At this time, Ezreal was carrying Galen towards the pyramid on his back, completely unaware of what was happening in front of him, and Ezreal saw a lightning bolt shoot down, and did not pay special attention, just as it was a normal situation. But at this time, the center of the desert was already particularly dangerous, Ezreal was unconscious, and carried Galen on his back, fed Galen a little water, and said to Galen, who was unconscious: "Galen, hold on a little longer, it will be there soon." With that, Ezreal stepped on the sand and walked towards the center of the desert.
