Chapter Seventy-Six: Zaun's Underground Adventure

"Interesting conjecture. According to imperial records, the land of Zaun was indeed conquered by Shurima in its heyday, but it has been nearly a thousand years since then. ”

After listening to Seraphine's description, Ryan thought for a moment and replied.

In her heyday, Shurima used the legendary Ascension God to almost unify the entire Rune Continent.

"We need a proof, or the Explorers Guild won't admit it." "If we discover the traces of Shurima and spread them out, I will surely join the Explorers' Guild and go down in history as Piltover's brightest man." ”

"What is the Explorers' Guild?" Ike asked, puzzled.

He ignored the second half of the other party's sentence, even if he was on Zuan's side, he had to admit that the person in front of him was far from Congressman Talis of Piltover, even one day and one place.

"A hobby organization of a group of explorers huddled together for warmth, funded by the academy behind it, but it seems that just a few days ago, the station was destroyed by the robot dragon." Seraphine teased.

"It doesn't sound like much." Ike said truthfully.

After the mechanical dragon killed Hilco that day, he didn't return to the academy honestly, but suddenly lost control and destroyed many buildings in the South End. I think the Adventurer's Guild was also affected at that time.

Hearing this, Ezreal said excitedly, despite the fact that he was still being caught, "That's the Explorer's Guild!" Piltover's most authoritative organization, every explorer's dream. ”

"But its fame ends at Piltover, and I've traveled to many places where I haven't heard of it anywhere else."

Ryan saw that the other party silently lowered his head, and said with a smile:

"Why not start your own association. The greatest expedition organization was founded by the best explorers. ”

The greatest explorer of all!

When Ezreal heard this, he was so excited that he almost broke free from Ike's clutches:

"You're right! They should give me the president, ah no, maybe I should create one of my own. ”

"Do you have any money?" Seraphine had a wicked smile on her face, "I remember it costs a lot of money to get a guild!" ”

"Oh! Can you please not snoop on my heart. ”

Ezreal withered and was beaten back to his prototype, muttering incessantly.

Can't do it, can't you let him fantasize about it?

"I can give you private funding, if you show enough in this expedition."

Ryan's magnetic voice reached Ezreal's ears, and he was overjoyed.

The other party just has a luxurious robe on his body, and he doesn't look like a person who has no money.

He could see that the other party's demeanor was more natural and decent than that of Piltover's nobles, and he was definitely a big man.

Ezreal had an urgency on his face, and hurriedly spoke:

"So what are you waiting for, we'll go now. I'm well prepared. ”

As long as someone supports him to start a guild, it doesn't matter who it is, it's his best friend!

"Ike, let him go. Victor is looking for you about your wildfire skateboard makeover. ”

Ryan said to Ike that he had heard his apprentice talk about Ike. An aspiring young man, he may be able to become Zaun's new protector as Victor begins to pursue his own evolution in the future.

"Yes, sir, I'll take my leave."

Ike nodded respectfully at Ryan and let Ezreal go. He had heard that Victor had been taught by Ryan, and then he returned to Zaun.

The people who stand on Zu'an's side are worthy of respect.

Before leaving, he threw the armguard in his hand to Ezreal:

"Skinny, don't let me know what bad things you've done here."

"Don't worry, I'm only interested in exploration!"

Ezreal cherished the lost arm guards, and cherished them.

"To get that arm guard in your hand, it looks like you do have some skills." Ryan glanced at it and said flatly.

"This is my treasure, I named it the Explorer's Armguard, does Sir know where he came from?"

Hearing the patron's compliment, Ezreal smiled.

"A piece of equipment belonging to the Ascension God that converts biological energy into arcane energy, which is what we call magical energy."

Ryan only glanced at it, then told the details of it.

There was some similar equipment in his castle's collection, which was a knick-knack that had been exchanged for exploits in the Imperial treasury.

"Ascension God, I like this title!"

Ezreal looked at the arm guard in his hand, his face satisfied, as if Ryan was calling him.

After a long while, he said seriously:

"My discovery came from a crack in the ground, a deep trench that was blown out of the Zuan mining area, there must be something there."

"Lead the way." Ryan nodded slightly.

"Howler! You're the sponsor, and you're in charge. But don't you need to prepare anything? I don't think you're equipped yet. ”

Ezreal led the way in front, arching the bag on the back.

With his all-important pomade in it, the good explorer always keeps his clothes and hair in a messy way at all times.

As for the rest of the expedition gear, it's all top-class. When he finally came across an expedition funded by his uncle, he was not stingy.

"Don't worry, you have to believe in the teacher's strength, he can turn Zuan over with one hand." Seraphine interjected.

"That's... It's amazing. ”

Ezreal laughed twice, Ryan was his future patron, and he couldn't refute the other party's face.

As for what turned Zuan over, he never believed it. How can anyone be so powerful, it should be the gods who live in the Giant God Peak.

Although Ryan gave him a similar feeling to the Giant God Peak, it was obviously not the same. After all, if you really have to feel it carefully, Orianna exudes a similar aura.

Maybe... It was that he didn't sleep well, and he was tossed by Ike, and he hallucinated.

Along the way, the two Seraphine daughters whispered in the back.

Ezreal led the way, and for the sake of his dream of founding a guild, he couldn't help but raise the arm guard in his hand and began to recount his great achievements:

"This is the treasure I got from exploring the tomb of Nazouk, do you know that? A powerful tyrant in Shurima's history, with incredible magical powers. You can get from Shurima to Piltover in an instant. ”

"Naizuk is a great talent in the known history of Shurima." Ryan nodded slightly, adding, "There's a record of him using magic to lift a fortress called the 'Monolith' into the air, which gives a glimpse of his strength and creativity. ”

"Monolith? ... Ah, yes, he's a great mage! ”

Hell, why does this nobleman know more than he knows as an explorer.

Ezreal complained in his heart, and quietly changed the subject:

"You don't know, Nazuk's mausoleum is too dangerous, as soon as I picked up the arm guard, the whole mausoleum seemed to come to life, and wanted to bury me deep underground, but fortunately, I was experienced, prepared, and came out smoothly."

He told the story with a picture and a thrilling scene, and he almost confessed it.

"The weapons of the Ascension Gods, I have studied, and some of them, they seem to have been modified by some people."

"Haha, that doesn't just prove my strength!" Ezreal straightened his chest.

Ryan walked behind Ezreal, smiling at the other man's face and glancing meaningfully at the quiet armguard.

According to a certain account of the Immortal Citadel, those who have obtained the weapons of the Ascended Gods will be corrupted by the creatures called the "Dark Spawn" who live inside.

But they seem to have disappeared for nearly a thousand years, and the Darkspawn may have died out entirely. It's also possible that they're also lurking inside the various Ascension weapons.

Hopefully, he thought too much. At least his collection hasn't been anomalous yet.

"It's here! This is it! ”
