Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Ritual Is Over, The Most Gifted Mage

"Amazingly perfect timing."

Seeing the metallic sheen of Mithril Steel appear on Oriana's body, Ryan couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Although there is the protection of runes, when the other party is fused, he still has to endure the pain of being squeezed by the flesh and blood, and at the same time he has to ensure that each piece of material appears in the corresponding position on the body.

And once the timing is not grasped, there will only be an instant physical death.

The selection and quantification of each material was almost always done by the girl in front of him, who just gave a table of his own resources.

Gradually, the whites of Oriana's eyes vanished, replaced by a pair of eyes that glowed with sky blue.

Her body was completely covered in Mithril steel, her face had a metallic sheen, and there were gaps in the joints of her body.

Watch as Orianna gradually completes her mechanization and gradually abandons her physical body. Caterina and Seraphine on the side both felt that they were about to stop breathing, staring at Orianna in the center of the rune matrix, nervous.

As the humane expression on Oriana's face nearly vanished, the magical blue glow in Ryan's eyes became even more insignificant, and the room was almost enveloped in a dark blue light, and everything was dyed dark blue.

Only the faint green candlelight of the soulless lamp still flickered under the dark blue wrapping.

Ryan watched Orianna evolve step by step, his fingers subconsciously sketched in the air, and a rune in the shape of a clock was written by a light blue light dot and appeared in mid-air.

Caterina's eyes shrunk and she recognized the symbol, which was the same rune she had seen in Oriana's workshop.

"Perfect timing, a miracle born because of you."

Ryan whispered the meaning of the runes he had learned from the ritual.

At the same time, an identical rune floated out of his body, only with a darker color.

In the air was a rune phantus, and with the help of sketching and comprehension, he attracted the runic entities stored in his body.

The "Perfect Time" rune entity floated out and attached to the rune phantom, constituting the true origin rune.

The rune slowly drifted towards Oriana, eventually submerging into her body, clinging to her Hex's heart.

At that moment, Oriana's mechanization also reached a critical moment.

In her mind, memories of the past flashed like slides.

Her father who raised her. She has always lived in Piltover Workshop Street. As a child, she wanted to travel the world. Ryan, who is at a loss and doesn't know the way forward, suddenly bursts into her life. Seraphine, a girl she has known since she was a child, is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Memories of the moment before the ceremony began, from birth, echoed in her mind repeatedly.

The flesh and blood of her brain are constantly being replaced by some kind of metal, but in the process, they are still working non-stop, transmitting memories and emotions.

Transmitted to the new brain, transmitted to her soul, inscribed in its deepest part.

Airplanes!

A bright light from Hex's heart erupted, and Orianna was engulfed in a white and blue beam that pierced through all obstacles and burst into the sky.

If it weren't for Ryan's rune matrix and Noxian soldiers outside the embassy, the curious Lady Piltworth would have been impatient to rush in to investigate.

In a perfectly performed ritual of evolution, Oriana's body was transformed from flesh and blood to machine.

The once fair skin was covered in silvery white Mithril steel, and the face and hair were metallic, and there was an extra hole in the back.

She went from being a quiet and weak girl to a clockwork machine.

"Clockwork..."

Due to the mechanization of her body, Oriana's soft voice became ethereal, an electronic voice of a machine.

"Sister Oriana?"

Seraphine looked at each other in a daze, she suddenly couldn't hear the other party's soul song, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart.

Ryan's face was still calm, and with a flick of his palm, the special clockwork made by Mr. Colin on the side was lifted by the water and brought to his hand.

After a burst of reinforcement of Mithril Steel and the reinforcement of runes, the clockwork slowly flew up and plunged into Oriana's back.

Click!

The clockwork slowly turned, and Oriana's eyes returned to their vivid color.

She stood up like a machine, and bowed slightly to Ryan stiffly:

"Ryan.. Thanks, sir... Your help. ”

"Your body will need to get used to it for a while, so stay at the embassy recently. I'll help you transform the device you used to put in your own heart. As for whether it's a weapon or a life box, it's up to you to choose. Ryan spoke flatly.

"I want to... I'll be able to reply soon. Thank you, Mr. Ryan. ”

Hearing the emotion in Oriana's electronic voice, Seraphine breathed a sigh of relief, but still blinked her eyes in confusion:

"Sister Oriana, are you alright? So why I...? ”

"Xiao Sa, you've been a little slack in your research on runes lately." Ryan said.

"Ahh

When Seraphine heard her teacher's words, she felt a thrill and understood what the reason was.

Orianna is already the same as the teacher, but she can't hear the soul song.

The other party has either crossed the threshold of heroism, or the teacher has also engraved the understanding of the soul rune in Oriana's body.

Either way, she, a rookie, couldn't hear the soul song of the other party.

"I also said that when Sister Oriana's ceremony is over, I'll listen to her passionate singing."

She muttered, but there was no frustration in her eyes, but a heartfelt blessing and joy.

At least, the other party's ritual was a perfect success.

"Study the runes, the more you learn about them, the more you can hear. Xiao Sa, your talent is the second best of all the mages I've ever met, and it won't take long for you to hear everyone's soul songs. Ryan said.

"Second?" Seraphine ignored the teachings that followed, "What kind of potential does the most gifted mage the teacher have ever seen?" ”

"Potential? She is a kind of strength that can be realized only by aging and without too much effort. If it weren't for the interference, she would have been able to destroy Ionia at will by the time she reaches adulthood. Ryan's face was filled with nostalgia.

"Huh!?"

Seraphine had read a lot of books, and knew that the continent of Ionia was at least a hundred times the size of the two cities combined.

What kind of talent is this kind of talent that no one else has to work hard to destroy the continent in adulthood?

Can she compete with such a monster?

She had a suspicion in her heart, she was afraid that if the teacher had seen all the mage talents except for herself, she would not be as good as this terrifying first.

And she could see the nostalgia in Ryan's eyes, and there might be a story between the other two.

I just don't know, it's a feud, it's friendship, it's brotherhood, or family affection, well... Maybe it's love.

Seraphine scratched her ears a little, she liked to listen to stories the most, but she couldn't help but be a little anxious when she couldn't hear Ryan's soul song.

However, she guessed that it was a story that took place during the time when the teacher defeated Presidian, otherwise she would not have mentioned Ionia's name.

Ryan used to take the Valoran continent, which is the continent where Noxus is located, as an example, and she still knew this in her heart.

"I went to study! Don't stop me, I must understand the first rune today! ”

Seeing that Oriana was familiar with her body, Seraphine swung her fist full of vitality, her long pink hair fluttering in the air, and turned around and ran outside.

Ryan looked at this scene amusedly, and shook his head slightly, having an apprentice like Seraphine added a bit of fun to his boring life.

He remembered that about four years earlier, he and his Commander had been defeated at the hands of Presidium and had been hunted down all the way to the island of Philore, Ionia.

In a place called the Dream Pool, he meets a silver-haired girl he will never forget. The girl was sealed by the Ionian Spirit, the mysterious power attached to the girl with the knife.

But on that day, he released her from the seal.

In an instant, the island of Filol was transformed into a dark land. Ionia's pursuers were engulfed in darkness in an instant.

The other party was the most gifted mage he had ever seen, even far more than the mage with whom he discussed the secrets of runes.

After taking the lead and returning to the empire by boat, he stayed behind and talked to the girl about magic for half a year. The ring he wears on his hand is a creation she has condensed with magic.

I don't know if the girl listened to him and read more books about magic.

It's a shame that talent was wasted by Ionia.

Ionia was big, but she couldn't accommodate her born with dark magic, and she continued to stay there, only to be sealed endlessly, with no end.

She was born to belong in Noxus, where her talent could be perfectly displayed.

No one will be afraid, only heartfelt praise and respect from everyone.

Ryan shook his head slightly, pressing the complicated thoughts to the bottom of his heart, and the magic of his eyes dissipated, returning to black and white.

At the same time, the rune matrix surrounding the embassy slowly dissipated, and the soldiers, except for a few on duty, also returned to the embassy in an orderly manner.

Everything was back to its original state, but the shock caused by the magic still remained in the hearts of the people of the Twin Cities.
