Inside the Embassy.

The corners of Ryan's mouth rose slightly, he shook his head with a smile, put down the scroll in his hand, and moved his gaze out the window, which was the direction of Zuan:

"Hilco, the stage is in place, and I'm looking forward to your performance."

Tonight was an unusual night.

Far away in Demacia, the garrison of Lesser is marching towards Piltover, the immortal fortress of Noxus is surging, the people of Piltover are once again awakened from their dreams by the explosion for the first time in two months, and Zaun is in full swing, even in the middle of the night.

Bang bang.

Hearing a knock on the door, Ryan shifted his gaze to the door and raised his palm slightly.

Palm towards the door and pull back.

Squeak~

The water clings to the doorknob and pulls it open, revealing Seraphine and Caterina standing in the doorway.

Caterina got down on one knee and reported:

"Your Excellency, mission accomplished!"

"You've done a great job tonight, but I think you should look at book 4 from left to right on the third floor of the shelf, and you should try to learn the real stealth trail." Ryan smiled.

Caterina answered, and walked over to the bookshelf, her eyes scanning the row of books on the third floor.

Shadow Flow

She looked at the large letters on the spine of the ancient dossier, and her face showed hesitation.

"If you don't want to go that way, you can consider the one on its left."

As if knowing that she was hesitating, Ryan's voice came from behind her.

"Your Excellency, thank you very much."

Caterina decisively took the notebook titled Assassin's Creed, bowed slightly to Ryan, and dodged to the corner of the room that was not illuminated by candlelight, trying to reduce her presence.

When Katerina's episode ended, Ryan smiled and looked at the cramped girl holding a book in front of him:

"How does that book feel?"

"Mr. Ryan..."

Seraphine bowed her head and hesitated:

"I hear the wailing of the souls inside all the time, and it's like a cage that keeps those souls inside."

"Very acute."

With a flick of Ryan's hand, the Soul Stealer flew into the air, and the pages kept flipping, many of them glowing with a pale blue light, but many more were silent.

"This is a fake of me that modeled a great magic prop, and you should be able to feel its flaws compared to the perfect original."

Seraphine pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "As long as I hold it in my hand, every time I sing, the imprisoned souls inside will dissipate a little, and their wails will be even more miserable." ”

Faced with Ryan's encouraging gaze, Seraphine plucked up courage:

"I understand what you mean, teacher, that innate special abilities just mean that I have a good starting point. Constantly listening to the complex songs of their souls, my ability can grow passively and quickly, but it will affect me in itself, and I must make sure that I will not sink into it! ”

"Nice looks." Ryan smiled faintly, "Only by staring into the abyss can you understand the abyss faster. You have the right to choose, whether you want to learn and grow ordinarily, or trust your own will. ”

"Mr. Ryan, I believe I can do it, and one day, I will let the whole world hear my singing!"

Seraphine tightened the Soul Scroll in her hand, her expression full of determination.

"Okay, don't be so serious, I'll help you too, I don't want my first student to fall into the dark. It's still early, so I'll give you the first lesson. ”

Ryan motioned for the other party to sit in the guest seat in the study, and seeing the other party's well-behaved listening expression, he asked his first question:

"You know I'm a mage, so what do you think magic is?

"Magic..."

Seraphine put her finger on her pink lips and thought for a while, before she replied uncertainly:

"Everything in Runeterrae is made up of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, and the way in which these elements can be manipulated is called magic."

Her birth was very ordinary, and she did not go to the academy or other places to study. But the ability that God has given her allows her to hear many, many things from the souls of others. When she encounters new knowledge, she will record it in her mind, thinking that maybe she can use it in the future.

"Not bad, these four are the most basic elements of magic."

With a flick of Ryan's palm, clods of dirt, droplets, flames, and whirlwinds appeared in his palms at the same time.

"It's amazing!"

Seraphine covered her mouth wide and couldn't help but exclaim:

"I've heard that mages only have one attribute of magic."

"Since it's called a mage, it should be all there, otherwise it should be called a water and fire powerhouse." Ryan laughed dumbly.

However, he really didn't treat those trick clowns who didn't reach the heroic level as mages in his heart.

He had seen countless mages, but only a handful of them were born with trembling mana that did not depend on rune knowledge.

"In addition to these four elemental magics, there are quite a few other rare attributes. For example, light, darkness, ice, space-time. ”

Seraphine blinked and raised her slender little hand:

"Teacher, what about the soul?"

"It belongs to the dark derivation, but in the last thousand years, too many living beings and necromancers have worked tirelessly to study it, and the essence of soul magic is different from before." Ryan explained.

"Oh! It seems that what I want to study is still very popular, is it too late to change careers? Seraphine smiled mischievously.

"Of course, I majored in water, and I'd love to have students take on my mantle. Xiao Sa, you have an excellent soul talent, and you can get twice the result with half the effort by learning any rune. Ryan said with a chuckle.

As soon as these words came out, Seraphine shook her head like a rattle:

"Mr. Ryan, I was wrong! I still want to be a soul singer, but I'll spend time minoring in my teacher's water magic. ”

"If you have this heart, I have to correct you first, you are studying soul magic, and the minor can only learn water attribute runes." Ryan points the way.

"Runes? Magic? Seraphine blinked in confusion, "Is there any difference between the two?" ”

"Magic is a natural talent, just like your soul gift. Runes are acquired knowledge, and they are an expansion of the mage's subsequent path. All I can really grasp is water, and the other three are elements created by simple runes. ”

Ryan pointed to the four basic elements in the air and briefly explained the difference between the two.

"So how do I study... Hmm, magic? Seraphine asked curiously.

"There are generally three paths, strengthen your talents, study the relevant runes in depth, and use precious magic props with high compatibility many times."

Seraphine understood it at one point, and raised the "Meredith's Soul Stealing Scroll" in her hand:

"Magic items are already available, and strengthening your talent can be improved by constantly singing soul songs. As for the final rune..."

She stopped here and stared at Ryan in front of her.
