Chapter 300 Master Confucius (Double Commuter Pass Starts Tomorrow)
At this moment, the flexible fingers that can control most weapons and kill countless powerful creatures are stiff like a shy little girl, and she wants to retract in her anxiety, but she uses force, but Jax finds that her right hand can't be pulled out at all.
He never imagined that this Noxian man named Liszt was so powerful that people couldn't muster the courage to resist.
"Sejax is not a coward, he is a strongest warrior, after the catastrophe, he did not run away, but chose to lay down the sword in his hand, he chose a path that is more difficult and painful than death, this road is destined to be lonely and long...... Jax, can you tell me, the reason why Sejax made the final choice? โ
The man's soft voice was like a refreshing lakeside evening breeze, Jax's heavy mood eased a lot, and he gave up the struggling weapon master and let his right hand be pulled by Lester, turned his head to look at the firelight of the campfire, and Jax, who was slightly warm in his heart, whispered.
Sejax ...... In the pit where the formation had risen, he saw the Torch Staff brought out from Saabra, which was the core of the entire formation......
An unquenchable bright flame replaced the void that had been trapped in the elemental shield, and he held the broken staff, and the alienation of his body suddenly stopped, just like the time of his wind and candle, and was frozen in that eternal moment by the bright first fire, in that broken and dead world, it was the only light, the only hope that belonged to the weeping Acacia, the only hope to expel the void......"
It wasn't until Lester let go of his right hand that Jax pulled his hand back in relief, holding the lamppost with both hands.
Compared to Liszt's warm hands, the reassuring lamppost seemed a little cold.
After calming down the small emotion just now, the voice of the weapon master returned to its previous calm.
"Sejax decided to spend the rest of his life guarding Acacia's last light, he held the torch staff, and killed Acacia, who had become a ruin and a nest of the void, Sejax was dead, and the one who survived was Jax, who was blindfolded and sought a powerful companion to fight against the Void along the way......"
The atmosphere instantly became a little anxious, and Jax, who subconsciously spoke his inner monologue, had a sense of shame to boast about himself.
After a long silence, Lester, who had a strange face, pointed to the jujube stick that had been coiled out of the pulp, and opened his mouth to break the somewhat dull atmosphere.
"So, your lamppost is actually the torch staff?"
Scratching his head a little awkwardly, Jax nodded sheepishly.
"That's right, the original torch staff was no longer eroded by the Void, and I continued to ask the blacksmith to strengthen it, and it became what it is now."
Pointing to the boxy cast-iron spar shell of the lamppost, which could open a person's brain, Jax took the initiative to hand the lamppost to Lester.
"You can take a look, you can still see the [Eternal Flame] burning, but it's much dimmer compared to when I was in Acacia, I don't know why, it seems that the more the principle of Acacia's flame becomes, the dimmer it becomes, and I don't dare to run too far to avoid the flame going out......."
Taking the lamppost, Lester first looked closer to his eyes, and then tried to observe it with his own perceptual method.
Through careful observation, with the alloy as the skeleton, there is indeed a drop of fire in the thick spar cover, which can only be found through magic perception, but through Elena's spiritual perception, it can be seen that the lamppost is not a fire, but a moving 'glowing thing'.
It is somewhat similar to the original [Void Fire] in Jax's mouth, but it is completely different in nature.
"This flame is not a magical element, but a very strange substance."
Confirming that he could not get more useful information, Lester returned the lamppost to Jax.
"Liszt, can you see anything?"
Shaking his head, Lester couldn't explain what he had observed through Elena, but only his guesses and opinions.
Speaking of which, this is somewhat similar to the Oriental Tai Chi concept, where the anode generates yin, the cathode reverses yang, and yin and yang complement each other.
"If the previous void is a mass of energy with extremely dark attributes, then this primordial fire is a kind of light energy diametrically opposed to the attribute of extreme darkness, and the attributes between the two restrain each other, and they are born of each other, if it is really like what you said, since the pillar of light ascended to the sky, the void flame in the torch staff has become this eternal flame, then my idea should not be wrong, this is also an important reason why after you touch the staff, the body eroded by the void stops being alienated,
Perhaps the energy of the Void and the energy of the Eternal Flame have been neutralized with each other, and your bodily functions have been frozen in a perfect balance, avoiding the punishment of the passage of time......"
Like a spring thunder exploding in his heart, Jax listened to the words in his ears blankly, his head in chaos.
Lester's seemingly simple conclusion contains a great truth, and in more than 2,000 years of practice, Jax has never thought of this extent, which can be said to be very consistent.
Nine times out of ten, this is the truth of his own immortality.
"You...... You have a lot of sense...... I never thought of it like this, my situation is just like what you said......"
Patting Jax on the shoulder, Lester spoke earnestly.
"You'll have to find out for yourself what is going on, and maybe you can really find a way to spread the Eternal Flame and fight against the Void."
"Yes, you can't rush this matter...... I had to take my time, first of all I had to protect the fire. โ
The second time he calmed his mood swings through pranayama, Jax regained his composure, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Lester.
"The master is the teacher, Liszt, thank you for your doubts."
Comfortably bowed to Jax, Lester also stood up, and in Jax's blank gesture, he bent down at Jax.
"There is a way: threesome, there must be my teacher, I have also been guided and assigned by you in the battle, Jax, we are friends, we can help each other to make progress together, you learn from me, I learn from you, just be grateful in your heart, don't be so polite usually, otherwise you will bow to me and it will be endless."
Stunned, Jax also put down his hand to help Lester, feeling a little more relieved.
I thought that the biggest gain from coming to Precidian to participate in the Blooming Spirit Festival this time was to learn [Meditation] from [Lingjue], but I didn't expect that the real gain came from a friend of Noxus.
No, it should be said that it is an old friend.
Jax suddenly understood what it meant to be 'old friends' and 'old friends at first sight'.
"By the way, [Threesome, there must be my teacher] is the Zen words of which philosophical master? Is that master an Ionian? โ
Lester straightened up and pulled Jax to sit down again, and the two of them looked happy.
"It's a quote from Master Confucius, who is not an Ionian, he comes from a very great country."
"Master Confucius? Wait, I don't think I've ever heard of Master Confucius's name, can you elaborate on that? โ
Jax asked curiously.
"I can't say much about the news of his old man, but there are a few words of Master Confucius that I can say, for example, 'If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand', which means that if you don't learn etiquette well to respect Master Confucius, Master Confucius will beat you until you can't stand."
Jax gasped, all the disrespectful surrendered, boxing dominates the world, what a domineering leak!
It seems to feel Jax's shock, and Lester is also a little more braggart.
It's kind of fun to tease Jax.
"Another example, 'Zi said: Shameless to ask', which means that people who see Master Confucius but don't know how to be ashamed of themselves will be sent below by Master Confucius himselfโif you ask me where it is below, I guess it is the mother of masks...... In short, no matter who you are, you can only be a little brother in front of Master Confucius, and you must not try to be a big brother. โ
Hearing this, Jax was shocked.
"It turns out that even the Mother of Masks is afraid of Confucius?"
"That's right."
Nodding solemnly, Lester thought for a moment and continued.
"Another example, 'Zi said: his body is not right, although he does not obey orders', which means that if he is not strong enough and his muscles are not pure enough, then even if he gives an order, no one will respect him."
Remembering the strength of the Shurima Empire and the weakness of Acacia, Jax was convinced.
"Anything else? Every philosophical quote of Master Confucius is deafening and shocking. โ
"There are many more, such as 'people are dying, and their words are good'......"
"Wait, Liszt, let me explain...... Isn't it, is it true that as long as you beat someone who doesn't say good things to the point of dying, that person can say good things? โ
Lester looked at Jax, who was about to leave the Confucius Institute, in surprise, and nodded silently.
Jax clapped his hands a little happily: "Anything else?" โ
"'Zi said: If you come, you will be safe', which means that if you choose to challenge Master Confucius, you must be ready to rest in peace and be ready to meet the mother of masks...... Even spirits and ghasts have to be obedient, otherwise they all have to meet the mother of masks and be reincarnated ......"
"What kind of grandeur is this...... Who was Master Confucius? His philosophical sayings should have been recorded, right? โ
"......Ahh Since you want to know so much, then I can only say it, you just listen to the story, but don't spread it around. โ
"Don't worry, my mouth is harder than the walls of Acacia."
Nodding, Lester patted the blue bird Cana, who was in touch with his heart and almost laughed in his place, reorganized the language and calmed his emotions, and the man finally regained his trained and professional attitude.
"Let's put it this way, Master Confucius is a physical powerhouse with a height of two meters, and he has established a gang called [Confucianism], which is a more powerful and domineering gray force than the [Navoli League of Thieves] in Ionia.
Confucianism has set up seventy-two halls, and there are more than 3,000 disciples who like to use swords and reason with others, and in the chaotic world, he has set his own rules for all the forces, and the rules are respectfully called 'Confucianism' by all the forces, and all the forces that violate the "Confucianism" will be disembarked by Confucius's Confucianism and the rest of the forces......"
Patting Jax on the shoulder, Lester sighed softly.
"Such a hero is destined to be a saint who founded the sect, as long as a mortal can learn from the saint, it is enough to gain a foothold in this world......"
"Yes, if I can meet Master Confucius, I must have a good exchange with Master Confucius, even if it will allow me to meet the Mother of Masks sooner...... It's just that the Eternal Flame is going to be safeguarded by whom, and it seems that I don't have any other choice but you......"
The two sighed for a long time, seeing that the night was dark, but they did not mean to be tired, but the more they talked, the more energetic they became.
Whether it is Lester, the rune alienation or Jax, the Void First Fire alienation, they are not ordinary people, and it is not difficult to not rest for a week.
It wasn't until dawn that Jax brought back the topic of almost confucius's conquest of the world with his flesh.
"By the way, Liszt, what was your purpose in looking for me in the first place...... By the way, is it the Void that has appeared on the Valoran Continent? โ
"That's right, under the Frostguard Fortress, there is a place of ice sealed by the stone bridge, and under the ice, there is a sleeping Void Watcher."
Lester decided to change history a little, and he wondered what Jax would do if Lisandro's information was revealed to Jax.
"Frostguard Fortress...... I've been there, but I haven't penetrated into it, I'm just passing by, are your sources reliable? โ
"I only heard about it, but I didn't investigate it myself, it is said that the Frost Guard Empress of Freljord, Lisandro, is hiding a secret of trading with the Void, and every once in a while, Lisandro will bring some people to the Frost Guard Fortress and sacrifice them to the Void in a special way, so that the sleeping Void Watchers can get emotional satisfaction and continue to sleep so as not to break free from the Ice Seal...... I don't know if this news is true or not, but after hearing about you, I know I should tell you about it, and maybe you can go there and investigate it when you have the chance. โ
After pondering for a while, Jax nodded, taking the matter to heart.
"I heard you say [Void Watcher], is there someone who has divided the Void into categories? Or did you come up with the name yourself? โ
I didn't expect Jax to suddenly ask himself this question, Lester thought for a moment and explained.
"I didn't start it myself, I just happened to read an ancient mage's codex, which recorded how in ancient times, humans who suffered from the invasion of the Void recognized and resisted the Void creatures, including the type called [Void Monitor],
It is said that the Watchers have a huge eye with several terrifying tentacles, and the eyes of the Watcher can emit terrible Void Rays, and there is also a saying in the Codex that the Watchers will continue to learn the essence of the material world in the shadows of the material plane, analyze all the living things and material structures of the material world, and when the time is right, the Watcher will open the teleportation coordinates for the void creatures through the void rays, allowing the void creatures to invade the material world......"
After a pause, Lester continued.
"Considering the purple pillar of light that you experienced falling from the sky, I doubt that the source of the pillar of light is the Void Monitor who is waiting to invade the world in another world."
