Chapter 425: Ionia

Next.

Luki waited until Sarah woke up to say goodbye.

And Miss Doom is naturally not a pretentious girl, after last night, her heart has long been reluctant.

Anyway, it's not like you'll never see you again.

She prepared a boat for Luqi to sail.

Luki, on the other hand, let Yuna stay.

Birgewater is unlike any other place, once known as a land of lawlessness, where there are no laws or morals.

Even if Sarah is already firmly on the throne of the first person to speak, she will inevitably encounter various dangers.

And Yuna's strength has always been not weak, at least at the same level as Jian Ji, and staying can help Sarah solve some troubles.

Will come back in the future, Lu Qi is naturally not a little reluctant, taking advantage of the wind and sunshine, he set off directly by boat.

And the destination Lu Qi has already thought about it.

It is located north of Birgewater - the continent of Ionia.

It is a continent of outstanding people, known as the 'Land of the Newborn', consisting of a huge archipelago, collectively known as a continent.

Unlike the Valoran Continent and the Shurima Continent, where there are multiple countries and forces, Ionia is a whole, and there are no countries on the continent.

There is no clear ruler, no strong military power.

The people of Ionia lived in harmony and were coveted by many countries throughout history, among which the invasion of Noxus was the most serious.

This indisputable continent was almost completely destroyed by the invasion of the barbarian empire.

However, Ionia stubbornly held on and drove the invaders out of the continent, a miracle in the Land of Runeterra.

A continent that has almost occupied a large area of land, but when it is on the verge of extinction, the Jedi counterattack and finally turn defeat into victory.

It is enough to see the simplicity of Ionia.

This time, instead of taking a passenger ship to Ionia, Luqi chose a small sailing boat and went straight to sea.

Naturally, the sea monsters in the surrounding waters could not pose a threat to him, and the purpose of this was also to sail faster.

Sitting on the boat, with the sea breeze blowing on his cheeks and looking at the endless blue sea, Lucci felt more and more that the invention of the Hexfly door was really amazing.

In the future, if the entire Rune Land were to popularize Hexflyers, it would be much easier for many things.

At this time, the boat that Luqi was riding in was moving at an unconventional speed.

If you look closely, you can perceive that the entire ship is now wrapped in a wind-shaped energy field, moving on the sea as if there is no resistance.

Naturally, it was Jana who could do that.

For her, letting a ship go fast and waving her hand does it without much effort.

Rao is so, this sea journey is still a long one.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

As soon as the sky was dark, Luqi woke up from his sleep, and the boat under him sailed naturally without control.

Above the sea, in the field of vision, a huge island slowly emerged, very vast.

"Is it finally coming?"

Lu Qi straightened up, his consciousness a little clearer, and he glanced at the map.

Knowing that you are about to arrive at the island of Baroue, Ionia is made up of several huge islands, and Baroue Island is one of the islands close to the main island.

Among the many archipelagos, it is not a large island. Rao is like this, intuitively, it is not much bigger than Blue Flame Island.

As it is approaching, you can see that the island of Baroo occupies a large area of the sea, and it is no longer possible to see the marginal outline, like land.

You can see that there are many large mountains sitting on it, and the high mountains are connected.

It is estimated that in a little while, it will be able to dock.

Lu Qi had nothing to do, and said silently in his heart: "Sign in." ”

[This check-in is detected to be a monthly sign-in, and it will be automatically changed to a special check-in]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-level skill--Hidden Qi Technique]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining mana *10 years]

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Advanced Skill Upgrade Card*2】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Intermediate Skill Upgrade Card*3]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Primary Skill Upgrade Card*2]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item: Soul Contract]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the weapon entry - Soul Slash]

[The system reward has been stored in the system backpack, please check and claim it by yourself]

The voices of several systems rang out in Luki's head.

Lu Qi found that it was April 25 before he knew it, and he couldn't help but feel that time was really fast in his heart.

Then, he began to check the system rewards this time.

The first one is a high-level skill, the Hidden Qi Technique.

This reminded Lu Qi of the Hidden Arts, and there seemed to be only one word difference between the two.

He briefly checked the introduction, and was slightly surprised.

The Divine Hidden Technique is actively cast, and after use, it can achieve the effect of stealth and concealing the breath.

And the Hidden Qi Technique is a passive, which can make Lu Qi's breath more restrained, so as to achieve an effect that others cannot see.

For example, the current Lu Qi, even if he deliberately restricts his breath, in the face of some strong people, they can also detect that Lu Qi is also a strong person.

What's more, the advanced Hidden Qi Technique can even hide the demons, runes and other powers in Lu Qi's body.

Some beings with strong perception, after contacting Lu Qi, it is easy to find that he has demonic power in his body, and may even perceive the world runes.

For example, Aloy, she just saw Lu Qi and sensed the aura of the Chosen One in him.

And Ionia, who is going to go next, is not a few such powerful powerhouses.

Lu Qi thought about it for a moment and felt that this skill had come at a good time.

After all, what he has in his body is demonic power, and it would not be good if he was mistaken for a demon at that time.

So, he directly chose to study, and used the skill Kara to reach level seven.

At this moment, the voice of the system sounded in his head again.

[The same type of skill was detected, Divine Hidden Technique * Hidden Qi Technique, do you choose to fuse?] 】

"Fusion."

Lu Qi did not hesitate and directly chose to fuse.

In fact, a similar situation occurred at the beginning, Lu Qi had obtained a gecko swimming wall and another body skill of the same system, and the two were fused and upgraded to today's Divine Mobility.

[Successful fusion, congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill--Shenyin LV9]

A prompt comes from the system.

After the fusion, a new high-level skill at full level directly appeared, but it seemed that only one word was removed.

Lu Qi felt it and found that it was indeed the effect of the two skills fused together, but it was stronger.

If he has the heart to completely lurk, no matter how strong his perception is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out.

The second reward is ten years of mana, this Lu Qi has also signed in once, and after receiving it, he can directly obtain the mana equivalent to ten years of cultivation.

He chose to pick it up directly.

Suddenly, he felt as if there was a wisp of clear spring flowing through every corner of his body, revealing incomparable coolness, and the feeling was quite wonderful.

The magic power in his body continued to rise, until it nearly doubled, and then slowly stopped.

Lu Qi, who had never taken the initiative to cultivate magic, had no less magic power in his body than a mage who had practiced magic for twenty years.

The total amount is already quite a lot, although compared to Miss Crown, I'm afraid it's still far behind. But it's also stronger than ordinary mages.

Fortunately, Lu Qi's mental power is not weak and can accommodate so much magic power.

The white prostitute is cool.

He ignored the reward for the skill upgrade card and looked at the next one.

An item called the Soul Pact.

After a brief look at the introduction, Lu Qi found that it was the same type of contract as the one that Flickered Moteng had signed.

As soon as the two parties reach some kind of agreement, the contract will come into effect, and if one party violates the agreement, there will be penalties, directly against the soul.

And Luki, as the owner of the soul contract, received very little punishment.

It can be said that this is a good prop.

The last reward, a new weapon entry called Soul Slash.

Although the meaning was already obvious, Lu Qi still checked the introduction, and then suddenly realized.

Sure enough, it is possible to give a weapon a new entry ability, and that is to slash souls.

Ordinary weapons, against some demons, undead creatures, will cause a lot less damage. And a special weapon like the Sentinel of Light, against this kind of soul monster, can deal damage like attribute restraint.

Now this entry for the soul slaying that Lu Qi has obtained is like this.

After use, it can attack the soul normally and deal more damage.

It's a pretty good entry, and Lu Qi directly chose to give Yukimi.

The scabbard containing Yukimi trembled slightly, and the light flickered away.

Luki pulled Yukimi out, and with a dragon-like sound, the sharp blade gleaming in the sunlight.

"It seems to be a little sharper."

Lu Qi was quite satisfied, although the appearance had not changed, but now Yukimi was already a mature slashing knife.

This wave of rewards has been processed, and there are still two advanced skill upgrade cards left.

Lu Qi thought for a moment, and said directly in his heart: "System, use advanced skill cards to upgrade your fate." ”

【Success】

[Destiny Level Raised to LV9]

With two upgrade cards, Lu Qi directly chooses to fill the fate of the skills he just obtained.

This is the only skill he currently has that can teleport from a distance, and it is definitely beneficial to pull it up.

With a flick of his wrist, a card appeared between his fingers, and as Luki closed his eyes, fate kicked in.

His divine consciousness spread outward, directly reaching the farthest point, which was already on the land of Barou'e Island!

At least 3-40,000 meters away!

Sure enough, it was a big improvement, Lu Qi's thought flashed, and the whole person had already appeared in a market in the land port, in a relatively remote location.

No one noticed that a person had suddenly appeared here.

Lu Qi was quite satisfied with the surrounding scene, and in this way, he directly saved a lot of time.

After reaching the full level, the range has been greatly expanded, almost doubled, and the time to activate it and the mental power required at the same time have also been reduced a lot.

Although the full level does not mean that this skill cannot be improved.

This skill expands its range based on Lu Qi's mental power, and as long as Lu Qi's mental power is strong enough, its range can continue to grow.

At the same time, fate can also be used to observe the environment in the distance, but this is more mentally demanding.

When Lucci uses Fate, he sees images folded up like cards, and he has to find his destination in these screens if he wants to teleport.

But for him, it's not difficult.

After Destiny reaches the maximum level, the difficulty of his use is also much reduced.

It can basically be used as a detection skill.

At this time, the lively atmosphere of the market outside attracted the attention of Luqi.

He stepped out of the shadows, and the first thing he saw was the beauty of Ionia.

The mountains and rivers are continuous, the trees are numerous, the scenery is unique, and the colors are bright. As far as the eye can see, the scenery is beautiful, the smell of nature is blowing in the face, and the air is filled with fresh smells.

It's not just the white and green of the mountains, it's more colorful. There are large clusters of trees, white trees with red leaves, flowers blooming everywhere, large trees that look like houses, and strange kinds of small animals are hidden in the forest.

In terms of scenery alone, Ionia is much more beautiful than Valoran.

There was a bazaar not far away, and Luci saw an Ionian walking with a basket or a cloth bag on his back, laughing and talking.

Half a year has passed since Ionia won the Noxian invasion.

Half a year seems to have given the place plenty of recuperation, and there are no traces of the post-war period.

An incomparable harmony wafts through the air.

However, the psychological wounds left by Noxus on this land will definitely not be easily healed in a short period of time.

Luki strode to the bazaar, his destination was the main island, and there was still a long way to go.

Soon, Luki was walking into the bazaar, which was relatively spacious and could be seen with a few treehouses standing here and there.

Some vendors set up simple tents, while others simply sat on the floor and set up stalls, which were stocked with all sorts of things.

Novelty fruits, bird feathers, special plants, everything from food to utensils and clothing.

There are many things that Lu Qi has never seen, and he is also wandering around.

Along the way, many people paid attention to him, after all, even if Lu Qi hid his breath, his appearance was still there.

However, when people saw him, they didn't bother too much, but just cast a kind smile when their eyes met.

Most Ionians are not aggressive, have a simple, kind, and uncontested disposition.

They believe in harmony with nature and the search for balance, which has long been the cultural tone of Ionia.

There is no state, but the inhabitants live in abundance, bartering.

Although there is no state, there are sects, monasteries, temples, and militias in various provincial towns who work together to maintain law and order in the land, and the land of Ionia itself has a wonderful power to protect them.

Many countries that wanted to invade Ionia by brutal means were already ostracized by this land as soon as they landed on it.

But there are pros and cons to everything, and everything that has been followed for a long time has almost led to the destruction of this land.

When a more powerful and ambitious nation arrives in Ionia, they are faced with a land of unruled land full of treasures.

The people here are like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the face of invaders.

Their innate temperament makes them weak even to resist, and under the guidance of the word 'balance', they believe that the invaders will naturally suffer retribution, and the dispute will naturally subside.

So those who have great power sit idly by, and those who have weak power are left to be slaughtered.

It wasn't until the invaders burned and looted, occupied territory after territory, and continued to penetrate deeper into Ionia, that this balance was finally broken.

Only then did a small number of people come to their senses, take up arms, and resist the invaders.
