Josh invites Ahri into the house, and at the magic training ground on the second floor, Ahri's first lesson in magic begins.

Ahri has an innate connection to the spirit realm, and she is a natural spirit mage, but that doesn't mean Josh as a rune mage can't teach her.

Although the essence of magic is not the same, they are interconnected.

Arcane energy can be transformed into any elemental attribute at will, and mental magic is all-encompassing and varied.

For any type of magic, the first lesson is to learn general basic theories.

In addition to the books on the cognition of runic forms, Josh's books here are useful to Ahri.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the magic race, and Ahri's speed of learning theoretical knowledge does not need to be rote at all, and she can understand the meaning of it just by skimming it at a glance.

The harmony, circulation, imprinting, fullness, figuration, etc., each magic concept combined with Josh's personal explanation and demonstration, it is also the time of dusk, Ahri has almost mastered everything, and the next step can be to start practical training.

However, after almost a day of studying, and a short break at lunchtime, Ahri, who was already a beginner, was not in a good mental state, and Josh didn't put any more pressure on her.

After a quick dinner, the two planned to go to the wilderness to relax their spirits burned out from studying.

The evening breeze has already brought the cool of the night, but the residual heat of the day has not yet dissipated, and the temperature is just right for a stroll after dinner.

Josh and Ahri stroll side by side in the verdant meadows, the clanging streams and the distant jungle foliage swaying to the end of the evening sunset.

Ahri stood on a large upturned rock by the stream, her golden vertical pupils glowing, reflecting the fiery clouds of different shapes in the sky.

"Josh, do you know what the outside world is like?"

Since he was born, Ahri has been trapped in the Wasani tribe's one-third of an acre, making it difficult for him to come into contact with outsiders.

Aside from Helia and the suburbs from the city to Josh's house, Ahri hadn't even been to the rest of Fuguang Island, let alone seen the vastness beyond the layers of the Holy Mist.

It's just that the Runeterrae Land at this stage really doesn't have anything to look at.

It's a thousand years ago when Josh knew the timeline.

If we put it on Earth a thousand years ago, what era would the world be in?

Although the origin of humanity in Runeterrae is far older than that of Earth, it can be traced back to the Freljord Ice Fields 8,000 years ago, when the three Ice Sisters led the race to fight against the primordial demigods.

But since the fall of the Ascension Empire of Shurima two thousand years ago, the Darkspawn War began.

Three hundred years ago, Sahn Uzur, who was an iron-blooded warlord during his lifetime, was resurrected after his death and became the terrifying Iron Armored Wraith Mordkaiser, who rampaged through the Valoran continent and slaughtered and wiped out two generations.

Half of the ill-fated civilizations in the Land of Runeterras are almost at a standstill, except for Ionia, which has always been in harmony with the world and in harmony with nature, and the continent where Camavia is located has experienced strife and was conquered by this powerful kingdom, and the civilization that has been maintained until Foyego is still slowly developing.

When Fuguang Island is affected by the great destruction caused by Foyego and turns into a forbidden area for life, the Valoran continent will once again start a round of rune wars that will kill millions of people to snatch the world's runes in a vain attempt to conquer the world.

Since then, the Noxian tribe settled in the immortal fortress of the capital city that was established by Mordcaesar, which stood for a hundred years, and became the later Noxian Empire.

More than two hundred years later, some of the Valoran people who were persecuted by the Rune War migrated to the West, discovered the natural magical barrier - the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, and fused its lime into stone to create the Forbidden Magic Stone, established a state, and formed the Kingdom of Demacia.

One east and one west, the Noxian Empire and the Kingdom of Demacia became the cradle of civilization, and together gave birth to the most prosperous and prosperous continent of Valoran in later generations.

But that's a thousand years later.

Josh climbed the stone and sat at Ahri's feet, "What do you say, O world out there?" What I love most is the newborn land of the Northern Watcher's Sea. ”

Ahri lifted her robe and sat down on her knees beside Josh, "The firstborn earth? My tribe has an account of that land. ”

Her hands were wrapped around her unfat-free shapely calves, her delicate and flawless face was pressed against her knees, and her bright eyes like morning stars stared at his side face.

Paired with the shimmering fox ears, the swaying nine-tails that are united and the already petite and cute body, Ahri didn't realize how foul his posture was.

Coupled with the unknown fragrance of Ahri's body that penetrated into his nose from time to time, Josh's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Even Lunicia couldn't help but complain: [Is it okay to be reserved? How can a big man be the same as never seeing a woman......]

[Well, although this little fox is indeed a bit charming...... If you want me to say, if you like it, go straight to it! It's really mother-in-law's. 】

[If your twisted posture was in the former Shurima Empire, you might not even be able to find a wife! 】

Josh cleared his throat to ease the embarrassment that only he felt, and said, "It is a land of pure happiness without any quarrel with the world, where man and nature coexist in harmony, and the sun rises and the sun sets, and the sun is at ease."

"The people there seek a balance in all things, because only in this way will the spirit of nature bless them when the physical and spiritual realms are stabilized."

"Well, I know this, all the Vasayas come from the Land of the First Born, and we Vasani are no exception." Ahri blinked, pursed her lips and sighed, "It's a pity that I've never been there." ”

"There's going to be a chance."

Josh turned his face sideways, and it happened to meet Ahri's hopeful eyes.

Looking into his eyes, Ahri subconsciously spoke: "If there is a day, I hope we can go together." ”

As if sensing the ambiguity of her words, or being watched by Josh all the time, the budding girl's heart rose shy, and Ahri's cheeks flushed a little, and she staggered her gaze.

"I mean...... We're friends, but we've never had a good time together like friends, haven't we? ”

Ahri forcibly explained in a bit of a panic, and the nervous appearance was cute.

[Yes, friends of the opposite sex who are in love with each other have to play together...... Tsk, is it adult 'play'? You're so bored, why don't you train, fight, or magic with me...... Anything goes. 】

Lunicia replied on Josh's behalf, but unfortunately only Josh could hear her words.

After a few moments, Ahri seemed to think of something, and reached out to untie the straps on his boots.

Take off your shoes, take off the cotton white foot bag, a pair of white and delicate small jade feet.

With the perfect arch slightly bent and the delicate toes curled up and then stretched out like petals, Ahri put his shoes and socks aside, lifted the hem of his shirt and jumped off the stone, and stepped on the tender grass.

Immediately afterward, Ahri stepped into the shallow edge of the creek and bent down to make a splash that hit Josh, who was still sitting on the rocks, slightly stunned.

"Let's play together~~"

……

……

As night fell, Helia's scholar's abode.

The whole city ended a busy day and fell into a deep sleep with a quiet white tulle.

However, every time Ruiz closes his eyes, he is always awakened by the ghostly nightmare that haunts him.

Soaked with cold sweat in his pajamas, Ruiz sat up from the bed and stared nervously at the translucent floor-to-ceiling door that connected to the terrace.

Although the room was brightly lit, he always had a creepy feeling, as if something was staring at him under the suffocating curtain of darkness outside.

Something has returned, the white ghost that roams near the fountain of life in the well of ten thousand years.

It has been following me!

Fear grabbed Ryze's neck, and he shuddered as his gaze shifted to the thick tome on the table.

It was the Rune Secret Archive that he had traded with Grell to obtain the eaux-de-vie for him—

Over the course of hundreds of years, the wisdom of the only dozens of rune mages on Fuguang Island is far more detailed than the arcane rune notes Josh gave to Ryze.

"Oh my God...... What the hell did I do?! ”

Ruiz looked at the door again, her throat squirming involuntarily, and swallowed.

After much hesitation, he changed into his daily clothes, put on his shoes and socks, picked up the rune secret book on the table and walked out of the bedroom.

Looking at Tyrus's door with complicated eyes, Ruiz left the suite without making a sound, and prayed secretly in his heart:

I hope my greed hasn't been wronged......
