"Sending the Night Blade to search for and mark the location of the following symbols and signs on a large scale across the continent, this is to find the world runes, Brother Lyist is finally ready to end his trip to the continent, before he fully recovers his strength, in order to avoid being discovered by them, and in order to let Brother Ryster make better use of the power of the Emerald Collar, I had better arrange a new identity for Brother Lyist......"

After a pause, Hina continued to look down.

"Using Ishtar's elemental magic, design an elemental magic equipment that can continue to imprison the wandering mage Ryze, preferably without actually harming Ryze, but can also weaken Ryze to a limited extent if necessary...... Well, this point will need to wait for the chipmunk to fully understand how Vidalion works, so I can't rush it.

Then, organize the first batch of light sentinels to go to the Shadow Island to establish a permanent stronghold, prepare and form an elemental magic legion,

Wait, find a suitable excuse, send an army to capture the city-state [Leinland], build a large fortress on the border of Demacia, and let Sia go to him...... There are so many military orders this time, what is Brother Lyster going to do? ”

Frowning and chewing and thinking about Lyster's instructions one by one, Sheena, who smelled the smell of war, came to the main wall, and on the wall hung a large map of Runetera drawn by Lyist's own hand, and the large map marked the various powerful factions investigated by the Emerald Collar, although it was not 100% accurate, it was enough to shock those who saw it.

The woman's eyes were locked on the Shadow Island in the east of the Shurima continent for a while, and then on the land of Demacia and Leinland, the old neighbors to the west of the Emerald Collar, and then lowered her head, looked at the handwritten letter from Lyster in her hand and began to pace, thinking about how she should handle the things that Lyster explained.

It is not difficult to start a war, the difficult thing is how to make your butcher's knife stand above morality and block your tongue, it is best not to arouse the jealousy of other forces, especially if you are watched by the star spirit, fishing in troubled waters is the best choice.

What's more, although the strength of the Emerald Territory is recognized as strong among the countries of the Valoran Continent, no matter how it is said that the Emerald Territory is also a nominal part of Noxus, it is not reasonable to directly launch a war against other forces beyond the Empire and the Supreme Command.

"If a war were to be waged against Leinland, it would inevitably affect the Immortal Fortress, which had just been truce-fought for less than a hundred years, and I had to take into account the attitude of the Empire.

It is rumored that Burnham Darkwell (the current general of the Noxian Empire, the head of the Supreme Command, and the supreme commander of the Noxus Empire) transformed himself fifty years ago with the scarlet secret method provided by the Black Rose, turning into an immortal monster and becoming extremely bloodthirsty and warlike.

Especially like to collect some dark witchcraft evil weapons, if you use conquest as an excuse, I am not afraid that Burnham will not agree, after all, in recent years, the empire's desire for war has increased day by day with the continuation of peace, and the piece of meat cut by the Kingdom of Gran has long been eaten, and there is no way to satisfy the empire's endless appetite......"

Sitting back in her chair, Hina crossed her legs indecently, and suddenly thought of something else.

"In the last few years, there have been rumors of vampires in the Immortal Fortress who come out at night to suck human blood, which has caused panic, and what most Noxian civilians don't know is that those vampires who attack slaves are actually mages who secretly practice blood secret spells in the emerging order [Crimson Order],

After the [Crimson Order] began to recruit Crimson cultists with great fanfare, the Crimson Order seems to have a political tendency to break away from the Black Rose, so it seems that Burnham's physical transformation is not so much related to the Black Rose, but rather planned by the Crimson Order, otherwise Burnham would not have indulged the continuous expansion of the Crimson Order so much,

In this way, the man who is greedy for power will not mind starting a new war, and when the time comes, the Emerald Territory will expand righteously in the name of the Noxian camp, and no one will say anything......

As for the Leinlanders, these guys seem to have stepped up their efforts to smuggle into the Emerald Territory, and many of them have committed sins in the Emerald Territory and tried to hook up with Demacia, which is a good excuse......"

Having gathered all kinds of information, Sheena already had a preliminary idea in her head.

After receiving the letter, Sheena instructed her subordinates to prepare for a military meeting, and although the idea was good, how to implement it was another matter.

For a moment, the sky of the Valoran Continent seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud that did not disperse, and it was like an invisible big hand, slowly pressing down towards every country.

……

Lyster, who stirred up the Valoran continent with a letter, finally left Ishtar, and to his regret and relief, Savannah, Alyssa, and Angelia were reluctant to leave Ishtar and go to the outside world with him.

The education from childhood to adulthood made most of the Ishtars fearful of Nasyana (outside of Ishtar), even the royal family of Yuen, which was the main reason why the three daughters gave up following.

The secondary reason is that what Lyster has to do is very dangerous, they can't help at all, and they can only drag their feet with Lyist, if they don't follow Lyster, it is better to be raised as a canary in the Emerald Collar than to be at ease in Ishtar.

Compared with following the men to wander around, sleep in the open and take risks, lying on the velvet bed and being lazily fed by the subordinates is the noble lady life they desire, in this regard, Lyster can only respect their ideas, promising that as long as they don't wear a hat on themselves, there will be a chance to continue the front edge in the future.

With the ambiguous smiles of the three daughters, they said goodbye to Ishtar's Lyster and came to the coast of Amarankhin east of Ishtar, and boarded a medium-sized five-masted warship arranged by Sheena at the pier in the town of Bray.

The warship was slightly different from the sailing ships he had seen four hundred years ago, except for more sails, and the first of them were sixty-eight smoothbore guns scattered on both sides of the ship's side, because there was no rifling, and the small-caliber guns that fired solid shells had a high bore pressure, enough to destroy ninety percent of the man-made ships in the world today, and some of the ghostly ghost ships that haunted shipwrecks and black fog were not included in this range.

In this world where supernatural power rages, cannonballs are difficult to deal with ghosts after all.

Stepping onto the deck, Lyist sighed with emotion as he observed the guns fixed to the side of the ship.

Although the various magic spells in the Land of Runeterrine have seriously inhibited the development of many military technologies, so that today's war is still stuck in the battlefield of cold weapons based on knives, guns, sticks and swords, the power of gunpowder was finally discovered by some alchemists, and then it was used in the war.

The notion that 'as long as I kill myself in time, you won't be able to kill me' was still too far ahead of its time for the mere warlike Freeljord barbarians, and it also made most of the people of Demacia fear and contempt for the concept of 'guns and gunpowder', believing in the sword in their hands and the fine armor they wore on their bodies more than the suicide artifact.

After successive researchers and alchemists gave their lives, the development of gunpowder in Runeterras made a crucial technological breakthrough - successfully reducing the chance of death for the operator after igniting the fuse of an inferior arquebus to about 50%.

Lyster could probably guess that most of the fifty percent who died were due to improper manipulation and the reason for stabbing too much gunpowder into the medicine room at one time.

"Limited by the development of industrial technology, guns are easy to make, the difficulty is how to make rear-loading bullets in large quantities, I can't make automatic rifles, I should have no problem trying to develop a batch of sophisticated firearms, I should take the initiative to consider how to transform the parts I am familiar with into the power of the Emerald Collar......"

In the shadow of the black robe and hat, the tall woman hid behind the cabin and secretly stared at the man on the deck, and after a long time, the woman with a solemn face suddenly covered her mouth and retracted into the cabin, wiped her somewhat hazy eyes, and leaned weakly against the wooden wall.

Although the aura is a little different, Xia can still see at a glance that this is the master and companion she has been dreaming of.

The woman's name is [Sia Silver Moon], she is a pure-blooded wind-running beast that escaped from the Dragon Island, and is also called a dragon bird by humans on the Valoran Continent, because of a dragon mark that fell from the sky, she crossed races at first sight and fell in love with a human, because of this human, Xia changed her fate.

This man is Lyster, and it is also Lyster who completes the perfect transformation for Thea in Ionia, and has the most perfect human form.

Since four hundred years ago from the North Sea with the harvested soul pyroxene fled back to the Emerald Territory, Xia has never seen his man again, and then when he was with Sheena, Xia also once proposed to go out to find Lyster, but was rejected by Sheena, knowing that Lyster was still under the supervision of the Star Spirit and had no freedom, Xia had no choice but to give up and dispel the idea of sneaking out.

The life of the pure-blooded dragon clan is already long, after the transformation of Vastaya's soul, Xia who successfully controlled the natural magic also increased his life span to an unpredictable point, even so, Xia Yinyue was also worried that she would never see her man again, but fortunately, although it was a long time, she finally waited for this day, in her eyes, the man also escaped the scars brought by time and years, as in the past.

She wanted to pour out all the thoughts in her heart, but for a while she didn't know what to say, and her head was a mess.

By the time Thea had wiped away her tears and calmed down, the man had already walked into the cabin and saw Thea cowering in the shadows.

Coming into contact with the man's complicated gaze, Xia lowered her head and hid her face behind the hood, not wanting the man to see her embarrassment at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Thea, this time...... I've been away for too long. ”

The man also seemed to be suppressing some emotions, his voice was a little trembling, and he always wanted to calm himself, but it was difficult to do so.

Knowing that Lyster was talking about the North Sea, she could have fought side by side with Lyster at that time, but she had to evacuate the North Sea with the soul pyroxene that saved Misha.

Under the man's gaze, Thea got up from the ground and removed her hood,

With her long, silky dark green hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of beautiful silver eyes brewing with rain and mist, the woman shook her head gently, for hundreds of years, Xia had already mastered Noxus.

"I've never hated you, Lyster, if I hated you I wouldn't have come here at all, I'm just curious if you're really conscious, ready to face everything, but judging from your performance, I'm actually a little disappointed."

Amid the man's silence, Shia continued to whisper in Noxus with a Fidellett accent.

"According to rumors from the outside world, dragons have a long lifespan, a frivolous and tyrannical temperament, greedy and lustful, just like the 'King Liszt' who does not let go of even the stone armor lizard, and humans always like to imagine the mysterious and powerful as the depraved appearance they want to be,

In fact, you're not the lascivious King Liszt, and the dragons aren't as evil as they say, on the contrary, most pure-blood dragons are monogamous and will stay with each other for the rest of their lives once they have chosen their mate. ”

Staring closely into Lyist's eyes, Thea stepped forward, her face becoming very serious.

The shape-changing dragon girl slowly raised the middle finger of her right hand at the man, making the equally serious man's face stunned, and then sank again.

"I wonder if you are ready to fight, even if you lose me, Sheena, Emerald Collar, and everything you have, you will keep moving forward, moving towards your goal, breaking all obstacles and moving forward."

Thea's eyes suddenly became cold, brewing with unparalleled determination and anger.

"It's like when you first met me, you had the courage to stretch out your middle finger to me to provoke even if you couldn't hurt me,

Tell me, Lyist, I'm ready to die for you, are you ready to fight? I don't want you to make me a deserter for four hundred years after I have made up my mind, although I love you, I also have the pride of being a dragon, tell me, Lyist, my love, what the hell do you think? ”

Taking a deep breath, Lyist raised his head and responded to Thea's gaze solemnly.

"I already have a reason not to fail, and I can't accept defeat, Xia, whether it's you, Sheena, or even the Emerald Collar, you won't be my weakness, and in this new war, I must make sure that I will go to the end, and as you said, I will do whatever it takes to move forward - I will not allow me to be bound by my children's love again."

The two looked at each other in silence, and finally, with a smile on her face and her arms open, the dragon girl took the initiative to hug Lyster, who was only half a head lower than herself.

"Welcome back, my man, my master, my Lychite,

This time, allow Shia to be by your side and fight to the death. ”

Wrapping himself around the woman in front of him, Lyist buried his head in the woman's chest and whispered.

"This time, I won't do anything stupid again, and I won't let you run away."
