Ahri, what the hell do you want Josh to say?

Could it be this morning......

Gwen was so nervous that her little face turned red, and she almost turned into a "steam queen", and she was too shy to raise her eyes to look at either Josh or Ahri.

Fortunately, Ahri was just "joking" and didn't really want Josh to make it clear to his face.

Seeing that Gwen was embarrassed, Ahri didn't have the heart to laugh, so she found another topic to divert Gwen's attention, and the breakfast process was passed smoothly.

Instructing the servants to clean up the dishes and clean the house, Josh, Ahri, and Gwen leave the tower on a magically driven elevator to a city that is familiar but strange to Josh.

Ahri took Josh's arm, and Gwen followed the two with curiosity about the city and the novelty.

The sea breeze in late spring is mixed with a faint salty and wet smell of seawater.

Powered by magical mechanisms, the waterfall soars from the top of the Shining Tower, splashing on the tranquil water, splashing cool.

On the platform square behind the door of teaching, which is almost exactly like the original, scholars and sentinels are hurrying by.

However, compared to the impersonal desertion of Hailia in the past, the new city is full of life and vitality.

Ahri runs this place very well.

Because the layout of the city remained almost unchanged, except for the erection of the city walls, and the reduction of the suburbs for livestock cultivation due to the influence of the topography, the Avenue of Scholars no longer led to the port, but was directed in the direction of the Xiongdu de Maxima.

Josh is familiar with the newly established city, but Ahri still acts as a guide, mainly for Gwen.

"The Haven Sea Cliffs, named after the steep and dark cliffs, are what the Demacians like to call it...... Their first king, Oron, came here with a group of refugees from the Rune Wars, and later, under the guidance of scholars, chose the plain harbor in the northeast and established the kingdom of Demacia. ”

Gwen's eyes almost lit up with little stars, and she said adoringly, "Wow! Are you still the founding father of Demacia? Just like Kamavia's twin siblings! The hosts told me about their legends! ”

Ahri shook his head and smiled indifferently: "I was quite naïve and immature at the time, even if I survived the rune war and thought that I could solve the problem with peace, but ......"

Her words stopped abruptly, and Josh could hear Ahri's words, but Gwen was different.

"But what?" Gwende frowned slightly, "I hate war, and neither does my master, and when she was still alive, she often exhorted Foyego to be a gentle benevolent monarch...... Is there anyone who doesn't want peace? ”

For example, a big villain like Hecarim...... But it should be in the minority, right?

Gwen added in her mind.

"You're ignoring the cultural differences, Gwen."

Josh explained to Ahri: "With the fall of the Shurima Empire, the civilization of Fuguang Island should be the first in the world...... While the whole world was still a tribal civilization, Hailia had developed into a utopia that everyone aspired to, encompassing the world's knowledge.

"Even now, compared to Piltover, the cultural and economic center of the Valoran continent, the city of progress, Hailia is still better than it."

Speaking of which, with Isolde's knowledge in mind, Gwen roughly understood what Josh was trying to say.

As a world-leading advanced group, the scholars of Fuguang Island naturally have a different view of various things than the tribal civilizations where even food and clothing are problematic.

As refugees from the Rune War, the ancestors of Demacia were also tribal groups on the Valoran continent.

The collision of civilization and barbarism, and the different ways of thinking about the world, will inevitably spark opposites.

Just as Kamavia remained strong by wars of conquest and plunder of its neighbors......

Thinking about the reason, Gwen's little face shrugged down, and she couldn't help but feel depressed, "Is this the case all over the world?" ”

Josh shook his head slightly, silent.

As early as when the Gap in Time could look at the timeline that was not yet completely covered by the fog of time, Josh saw the brief but intense conflict between the barbarians and the people of Fuguang Island.

Oron was a good tribal leader and a good king in the future.

He is willing to learn knowledge and wants to lead his people to a good life.

But the barbarians who followed him have gone through war, and most of them are not good at it.

They stole cattle and sheep from the Haven Sea Cliffs and stored grain, and even wounded the guards guarding the warehouse.

After being surrounded by guards while feasting in the suburbs, they even drew their weapons and confronted them against each other, protesting against the private food of the people of Fuguang Island and not sharing it with them, completely forgetting the past when the people of Fuguang Island kindly took them in.

It can really be described as a realistic manifestation of "Shengmien, fighting Mi Hatred".

But fortunately, there were no fatalities at the time, and with Oren's merciless and timely punishment, this matter can be regarded as a turning page.

Even at Ahri's request, it was not recorded in the history books.

Because of this, Oren realized that his people had never been compatible with the people of Fuguang Island, so he simply took the initiative to ask to leave, and in the current location of the capital, he integrated the raw materials of the Forbidden Demon Stone Tree into marble to create a magnificent Forbidden Demon Male Capital.

Thinking of this, Josh couldn't help but secretly squeeze Ahri's little hand wearing black silk gloves, and the guilt in his heart spontaneously arose.

Ahri sensed her lover's mood swings, and only smiled back faintly: "Anyway, the hard days are over, and Demacia is now our staunch ally." ”

Then, she looked sideways at Gwen and said, "At least, compared to the current city-states in the Land of Runeterra, Demacia's benevolence is already among the best. ”

At the mention of this, a question suddenly appeared in Josh's mind, "Ahri, doesn't Demacia still retain the tradition of forbidden demons?" ”

"Forbidden?" Gwen was equally surprised, "That's the one I understand...... Is magic banned? ”

"That's right...... Why did you suddenly ask about this? Ahri raised an eyebrow in surprise, but then smiled, "Are you worried that the Demacians will squeeze us out?" ”

Josh bowed his head in silence.

Aside from the few accounts of Demacia that he had read in the Sanctuary of the Sentry of Bajou, in which there were only a few descriptions of the forbidden demon system, all that remained was his own impressions.

Demacia didn't always have stricter banning laws.

Conversely, while the country is known for prohibiting the use of magic, its policies are relatively modest.

If it's not an extremely vicious and dangerous demon spotter, ordinary magicians can be safe and sound by simply registering with the Demon Finder Department, and they don't need to be banished from the border or abolished demons-

An inhumane practice of deactivating the magic circuits in the body through a special method, causing serious physical and mental effects.

Of course, this was before Prince Gawain IV was attacked by the Noxian mage regiment and King Gawain III's good brother went to the rescue and died on the battlefield.

Moreover, now with the intervention of Ahri and the people of Fuguang Island, the butterfly flapped its wings, and the course of Demacia's history has changed dramatically.

As for what it looks like now...... Josh didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

[Forbidden Demon? Is there such a stupid country in this world? 】

Before Ahri could reply, Lunicia sneered, "The name Runeterrae means 'place where magic flows', and nothing in this world can be separated from magic, just as humans can't live without oxygen, and fish can't survive without dehydration. 】

[According to the research of Shurima scholars, there is an extremely high probability that this world itself is constructed by magic.] 】

[Now, there is a country that threatens to ban magic? Burst...... Forgive me for remembering funny things. 】

As Lunicia spoke, Ahri also chuckled and explained, "Don't worry, Demacia's attitude towards mages is still relatively gentle, as long as you are registered, there will be no problem."

"What's more, you are still my man, the great hero of the Sealed Broken King, and in the future, you will personally accept the canonization of King Gavin III as a noble man......

"Well, we don't have to worry about that, though."

Ahri winked at Josh and chuckled playfully, "They should care more about you being my man, though." ”

[Hmph, that's true...... Power and status work anywhere. Lunithia said in a disdainful tone, mainly against Demacia's policies.

"Ahri, can you tell me more about Demacia?" Gwen whispered a plea from the side.

"Of course, no problem! Where do you want to start? ”

……

……

The sky is high and the clouds are far away, and the thick clouds are connected together, like cascading mountains.

The warm slanting sun pours, the forest is dyed, verdant and green.

All kinds of subtle creatures shuttle back and forth between the flowers and shrubs, and the colorful flowers compete for beauty, exuding a quiet fragrance, attracting butterflies and bees to dance.

In a short time, you can glimpse the spirit of nature that has entered the material realm and radiates light all over its body, hiding in it, curiously observing everything around it.

Before they knew it, the three of them had left the city and came to the outskirts of the "Helia II Generation", strolling by the clear flowing stream.

Ahri is still telling Gwen about her time with Demacia's Winged sisters.

Kyle and Morgana are poor children who should have had a happy childhood, but they each inherited some of the power of their mother, Mihira.

"The opposition between power and philosophy was also the main reason why they parted ways later."

The Winged sisters Kyle and Morgana are actually from Titan's Peak, not native Demacia.

As early as when their mother Mihira was pregnant, she and her husband Qilam successfully climbed the Giant God Peak, received the blessing of the righteous star spirit, and became the spokesperson of the star spirit.

It can be said that these two sisters were destined to have an extraordinary fate at the moment of their birth.

Because of Ziram's fear of his wife's growing divinity, and the influx of ill-intentioned sorcerer enemies.

Overwhelmed, Ziram secretly took his two daughters away from the Giant God Peak and arrived at the emerging kingdom of Demacia on the other side of the strait.

It's just that the gears of fate are running.

When the two sisters were first young girls, Mihira's giant sword fell from the sky in two with the blazing flames of the heavenly realm.

Kyle and Morgana each take one of them, while inheriting the incomplete power of the Star Spirit.

When Ahri first mentioned the Winged Sisters, Josh already had a premonition of the consequences he was about to bear.

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned that the Winged Sisters were related to the Righteous Star Spirits, Lunicia roared angrily in Josh's head:

【Damn Star Spirits!】 He used intrigue and trickery to seal us into weapons, and ended up in a miserable end...... How dare it claim justice?! 】

[We are noble ascenders, great warriors of the gods!] We saved the world from the Void, and how dare these despicable and cunning people do this to us! 】

[Heh! The Flying Wing Sisters are nothing more than despicable pawns of the Star Spirit, pathetic human beings whose fate is at their mercy and whose fate is beyond their control. 】

[If we are still bathed in the glory of the solar disk, just a star spirit? They will not come back! 】

Josh endured the noise in his head and retorted:

"Blow, blow...... I can't imagine how the natives of a mere planet can compete with the constellations in the sky?

"Speaking of which, you say that your power comes from the sun, but even if you can contain the power of an entire star, how can you compare to the splendor of the stars?"

Even during the sealed period, Aatrox, the Darkborn Sword Demon who only used rotten flesh to cobble together to imitate the former Ascended Body, fought against the human host of the War Star Spirit Pansen for several days and completely wiped it out, it was only "almost impossible".

Besides, compared to Aatrox, Lunicia is far behind, and it is the best among the ascendants.

Choked by Josh like this, Lunicia couldn't say anything more for a long time.

It wasn't until Ahri was about to finish telling her about her experience with the Winged Sisters that Lunicia said in a low voice, "Josh Russell...... You can be really annoying sometimes. 】

"Cut, after so many years, your double standard is still playing so 6." Josh retorted forcefully, "I'm only allowed to see my jokes, I can't expose your big words, can I?" ”

【You...... Hmph, I don't know like mortals! 】

"You're irrefutable, aren't you?"

[What the are you...... Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, isn't this what you once said?! Young people, don't get too far into it! 】

Josh didn't bother to talk to Lunihia, and just as Ahri's eyes were on him, his attention returned to reality.

"—Huh? Ahri, you're so good! I can become a good sister with such a powerful person! Gwen couldn't help but exclaim.

Josh scratched the back of his head, confused by Ahri's inexplicable look.

Saying...... Where did they go?

"Hmph, if Josh dares to bully you in the future, don't worry about coming to me." Ahri didn't look away, still staring straight at Josh, "I'll find my good sister to teach him a hard lesson!" ”

"Huh? Josh isn't that kind of person...... "Gwen pursed her lips, "I don't think he's going to bully me." ”

"This guy is a decent man and gentleman on the surface, but in fact he is full of bad water!"

Ahri clenched his fists and snorted softly, "He, I like to see a cute girl like you cry and cry in front of him, and then beg for mercy in front of him...... Hmph, I don't pity the fragrance at all. ”

"Huh?"

Gwen had a look of doubt on her face, her small hands covering her thin lips, and an unbelievable glow flashed in the depths of her heterochromatic eyes.

"Ahem...... Gwen, don't listen to Ahri. Josh almost choked on Ahri's words, and his face was very embarrassed, "You're really, don't talk nonsense in front of Gwen......"

"Oh? Is it nonsense? ”

Ahri raised her eyebrows and glanced at Josh lightly, her gaze gradually downward, and the corners of her lips curled into a smile.

"But this morning, I don't know who is still saying that they want people to beg for mercy?"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Josh coughed even more and forcibly changed the topic: "The scenery around here is good, it's quite suitable for picnics, hahaha......"

"Hmph~~"

Ahri gave Josh a blank look, then took Gwen's hand, walked to the tinkling stream, found a dry spot, and sat down on his knees.

"It's good for a picnic, but wait until next time, when we're done with the Shadow Isles...... Well, we can bring some food. ”

As he spoke, Ahri's golden eyes looked into the distance, and he muttered, "It's been so long, why is it so slow?" ”

Josh, who had just sat down next to Ahri, wondered, "Why is it so slow......?"

Before his words could fall, there was a sour smell of metal decay in his mouth.

I saw that the surrounding flowers and bushes rose without wind, and a pale circle of light burning out of thin air appeared not far from the three of them.

"Twisting the Realm?!"

Feeling the familiar fluctuation of magic power, Josh had a look of surprise on his face, and subconsciously blurted out.

"Be careful!"

Gwen jumped straight to her feet, thinking someone was going to attack them, when an illusory giant scissor appeared in her right hand out of thin air.

Only Ahri had an indifferent smile on his face, just patted the dust on his buttocks, and pressed Gwen's shoulder with one hand, "Don't be nervous, it's our old acquaintance." ”

"Is it Ruiz?!"

Ahri sold, "You'll find out later." ”

Seemingly an ultra-long-distance teleportation, the arcane magic array was not formed instantly, and it took several seconds to transform from white light to purple blue.

Immediately after, two illusory white figures appeared out of thin air, and then gradually stared.

A balding man with a thick beard, a naked upper body, and purple skin with arcane runes tattooed on the surface of the surface first caught Josh's vision - it was his long-lost brother Ruiz!

But before Josh could get excited, another white-haired girl with a straight face and dressed in an Ionian-style ritual caught his attention again.

Not long after Ahri had just finished arguing with Ruiz, he ignored the old mage who was extremely tired and had not yet breathed, jumped up and down, ran to the white-haired girl with a smile, and took her hands.

"Sindra, long time no see~~ How are you doing?"

Upon hearing the name, Josh was shocked, "This is ...... Sindra?! ”
