Chapter 213: The Whereabouts of Another Key!
The next day, at the third pole of the sun, under the somewhat confused gaze of Soraka, Zuo Chi walked out of the room with heavy dark circles.
Looking at Zuo Chi's appearance, Soraka's ears with long pale green hair shook and he couldn't help asking:
"Zuo Chi, how do I feel that the more you rest, the more empty you become."
Zuo Chi stumbled, and he hurriedly said with a straight face: "I met the enemy last night, and I tried my best to barely fight." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Soraka hurriedly came to Zuo Chi:
"Are you hurt? Why didn't I sense any enemies approaching? Next time you have this kind of thing, you must remember to call me, although I can't help you kill the enemy, but I can help you behind the scenes! ”
Zuo Chi: "??? ”
Zuo Chi actually wanted to convince himself that Soraka was expressing his kindness, and even if he changed the occasion, Zuo Chi would definitely be moved to tears.
But how can this be so strange on this occasion!
How strange it sounds!
Soraka, I don't have the strength anymore, help me push it.
In the room behind Zuo Chi, Ash and Kai'Sa were still curled up in the quilt and asleep like two lazy kittens, and Zuo Chi closed the door without a trace, took Solaka's hand and walked forward with her.
Soraka let Zuo Chi pull, the golden horn above his head shining with bright starlight.
The starlight fell on Zuo Chi's body, bringing some warmth and strength to his weak body.
"Zuo Chi, shall we go find that treasure chest?" Soraka asked expectantly.
Zuo Chi looked at Soraka, looked her up and down, and then nodded:
"Let's go, I'd love to see what was in this chest that could be regarded as a treasure by the heads of the Ten Primordial Demons."
Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Soraka's steps were a little more cheerful:
"Then let's go and get back quickly, Lux said that the Crownguard family invited Miss Sana to play in the manor tonight, and if you come back soon, you can catch Miss Sana's performance."
Following the route on the sheepskin scroll in Zuo Chi's hand, Zuo Chi took Solaka and flew out of Demacia's capital in the form of a streamer.
As can be seen from the map, Federtic responded to Silas's call as soon as he broke the seal, and descended directly into Demacia.
This also makes it extremely easy for Zuochi and Soraka to find Federtic's sealed place.
Starting from Demacia Xiongdu, the two traveled all the way north, passing through many Demacian cities along the way.
Finally, half a day later, the two of them appeared on the outskirts of a small town.
Fosbyro, where Silas and his mage rebels once were!
At this point, the road map also came to an end, and only a somewhat rudimentary teleportation portal was left in front of me.
Standing on the outskirts of the town, looking around, Zuochi and Soraka couldn't help frowning slightly.
The two of them could clearly perceive that the atmosphere in the town was extremely oppressive at this time, and people were walking on the streets like walking corpses, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely frightened.
"Left Pool."
Soraka turned his head to look at Zuo Chi: "They're not in the right state, it's like"
"It's like being haunted by a demon, isn't it?" Zuochi smiled and took Solaka's words.
Soraka nodded a little dumbfounded: "How do you know?" ”
Zuo Chi once again took out the demon catalog, and on it, the small section belonging to the nightmare was still flickering with a deep black light.
"Because I was run away by a fish that slipped through the net before, but I didn't expect that he would dare to stay in Demacia!"
"I was worried that I couldn't find where the portal was, so wouldn't this lead the way?"
Zuo Chi said as he walked into the town.
Completely letting go of his spiritual power, Zuo Chi only felt that all the wind and grass within a radius of thousands of miles were presented in his mind.
Zuo Chi's eyes glowed with colorful light, and the scene in the spiritual realm began to appear in front of him, and then he went straight in a certain direction.
At this time, all the hairs on Zuo Chi's arm stood up, and a black shadow appeared in his induction that was running frantically!
"Are you waiting for me?"
Although Zuo Chi's body is extremely weak now, it is by no means comparable to a nightmare, and it almost took only a few breaths for Zuo Chi to appear behind the black shadow.
In front of Zuo Chi, Mo Teng sensed the terrifying aura coming from behind him, and he suddenly couldn't tell whether he was a demon or Zuo Chi was a demon.
Just a few days earlier, he had witnessed the arrival of his master with the ambition of the sky, and he had even expected him to scorch the whole of Demacia.
However, everything he expected did not come to pass.
He had witnessed Zuo Chi's terrifying power, and he had even seen Zuo Chi unite with another primordial demon to devour his master's life!
Mo Teng couldn't imagine what kind of strength it would take to do this.
Fortunately, after killing his master, Zuochi also lost the ability to continue fighting, and he was able to escape.
Originally, Morten wanted to leave Demacia directly, but he chose to listen to the saying of humans that "the most dangerous place is the safest place".
Because in his expectation, with a powerhouse of Zuochi's level, he should not be long before he leaves, and even if he doesn't leave, he will definitely not come to this extremely remote town of Fusbyro.
That way, he'll be able to absorb the nightmares of the town's inhabitants in a steady stream.
But the world is impermanent, and just as Mo Teng began to regain his strength, the man he called a nightmare demon appeared in front of him!
Feeling the big hand behind him that was getting closer and closer to him, Mo Teng suddenly turned his heart sideways, he directly stopped the body that was rushing forward, let himself freeze straight in place, and then turned to look at Zuo Chi behind him.
Zuo Chi was also stunned by his actions, and couldn't help but withdraw his hand, looking at Mo Teng with only a blade left in front of him with a playful expression.
"Do you have anything to say to me?"
Mo Teng didn't say much, his arms crossed together, and his body leaned down:
"I will surrender and be your strength."
At this time, how could Mo Teng not see that he was now on the verge of death, and whether he lived or died was completely a matter of Zuo Chi's thoughts.
He's not Federtic, the primordial demon will never die, but he does die, and if he dies, he can't be resurrected!
Rather than just dabbling like this, Moteng felt that it was better to survive.
Although it is relatively rare for a high-level demon like him to surrender to people, there is only one way to go at the moment.
"Oh?"
Zuo Chi tilted his head in some surprise, he didn't expect that the demon in front of him would be so sensible.
"What can you do for me, I need to understand the value of your existence." Zuo Chi said lightly.
Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Mo Teng was also a little speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Morten said in a hoarse voice, "I will do my best to be your most faithful servant." ”
Zuo Chi condescendingly looked down at the demon Teng in front of him, and in the next moment, he suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed the throat of the demon in front of him.
The majestic power of ascension appeared on his arm, and the power of the Yang and Gang began to continuously scorch Mo Teng's body, and soon, the black qi on his body surface became extremely dim.
Raising his other hand, Zuo Chi's finger touched the center of Mo Teng's eyebrows and sent a cloud of demonic rune light into his body.
"You'd better be telling the truth!"
After doing all this, Zuo Chi let go of the hand holding Mo Teng, and at the same time he raised the sheepskin scroll in his hand to Mo Teng.
"Take me to where this portal is, and don't tell me you don't know where this is."
Zuo Chi could clearly perceive that when he saw the portal on the sheepskin scroll, Mo Teng's body shook violently.
Witnessing all this, Zuo Chi also became more and more determined in his thoughts.
Mo Teng looked at the scroll in Zuo Chi's hand, and then looked at Zuo Chi, and after a long time, he said slowly:
"I'll show you the way."
Although he was shocked by how Zuo Chi knew about this teleportation portal, Mo Teng had no choice but to lead the way for him.
In this way, after letting Morten lift the curse imposed on Fosbello, Zuochi and Soraka followed Moteng all the way to the depths of the town of Fosbyro.
In the deepest part of the town, a group of burials appeared in front of Zuochi and Soraka, which seemed to be where the townspeople buried their deceased.
Zuochi and Soraka waited silently, while Moteng came to one of the low tombs, his arm raised, and bursts of black gas slowly flowed into the tomb.
Zuo Chi and Soraka witnessed this scene, and the two couldn't help but be a little happy.
Thanks to the encounter with Moteng, otherwise if the two of them were to find it, I really don't know how much time it would take.
With the black air flowing into the tomb, a slowly rotating black teleportation portal slowly emerged in front of the three of them.
This portal was the same as the one on the sheepskin scroll in Zuo Chi's hand.
"My master, what you're looking for is right behind this portal." Mo Teng said respectfully.
Zuo Chi didn't say anything more, and was led by Mo Teng, and walked into the teleportation portal.
The light in their sight quickly dimmed, and Zuochi and Soraka only felt that they had appeared in a mysterious space where no energy or light existed.
Sorakar raised his staff to summon Starlight, and they saw the low tomb in the center of the space that had completely exploded.
Zuochi and Soraka stepped forward, and the two of them saw the tombstone that had fallen before the grave, and at the same time saw the black box that was half buried in the earth and had an extremely simple appearance.
Zuo Chi didn't rush to pick up the box, but looked at Mo Teng beside him.
"Moteng, do you know what's in this box?"
This time, Mo Teng did not hesitate, but said directly: "Since my birth, this box has existed, and perhaps no one knows what it is except for the nine adults who are at the same level as the master. ”
Morteng's meaning is simple, except for Federtic and the other primordial demons, there is no way that anyone knows what's in it.
After listening to Mo Teng's words, the curiosity in Zuo Chi's eyes became more and more intense.
To be treated like this by the fear of the heads of the Ten Primordial Demons, what should be contained in this?
Without saying anything more, Zuo Chi leaned over and lifted the box out of the soil and looked at it carefully.
The box is heavy, the appearance is very simple, I don't know what material is used, and the appearance is engraved with some patterns that Zuo Chi can't understand.
In addition to these, the most attractive thing for Zuo Chi is undoubtedly the one on and off, one large and one small.
Glancing at each other with Soraka, Zuochi took out the key that had been carried by Fedetik on his chest from his bosom.
When Mo Teng saw the key in Zuo Chi's hand, his body couldn't help but tremble.
There's nothing creepier than the body parts of a superior demon.
Comparing the key close to the keyhole, Zuoike finally gently inserted it into the larger hole below.
"Click~!"
Turning the key slightly, a crisp sound came, and Zuo Chi tried to open the box, but found that it still couldn't be opened.
He was about to pull out of the hole below and try to insert it into the hole above, but he found that he couldn't get it in at all.
Zuo Chi took a deep breath, his face full of helplessness and frustration.
After going around for so long, taking so much effort, and looking forward to it, I couldn't open the treasure chest in front of me in the end.
"Qiang~!"
The star iron long knife was unsheathed, and Zuo Chi immediately prepared to split it directly.
The sharp blade wrapped in the terrifying power of the ascension slashed down, and the entire space was completely illuminated at this moment, and the demon Teng quickly retreated far away.
However, just as Zuo Chi's blade was about to hit the treasure chest, the complex lines on the treasure chest were completely lit up at this moment, and a blood-colored six-pointed star circle appeared on the surface of the treasure chest, completely devouring the power carried by Zuo Chi's long knife!
No matter how Zuo Chi slashed, these circles seemed to never fade, leaving him at no avail.
Soraka looked at Zuo Chi's busy figure, and she said softly, "Zuo Chi, in fact, let's just go find another key." ”
Zuo Chi stopped what he was doing and looked at Soraka with eyes that flashed with an inexplicable light:
"But the Runeteres Land is so big, where do we go to find it?"
Zuochi came to Soraka, leaned his face close to her, and looked into her eyes:
"Does Soraka know?"
Suddenly treated like this by Zuo Chi, Soraka couldn't help but take a small step back, and his eyes were a little dodgy.
Still, she said, "I do have some news here. ”
"Oh?" Zuo Chi tilted his head in surprise.
Soraka continues:
"I don't know how many years ago, I don't know which Twilight Star Spirit, she stole a key from a great demon who was causing trouble in the world."
"Later, she flew to the heavenly realm, and that key became the inheritance of the Twilight Star Spirit, and it was worn from generation to generation, and I think the key should be the demon's body."
Zuo Chi's eyes moved slightly: "Soraka means that the other key to open this treasure chest is in the hands of the current Twilight Star Spirit?" ”
Soraka nodded, "The name of the modern-day Twilight Star Spirit is Zoe, and I did see a quaint bronze key in her. ”
"Zoe?"
For some reason, Zuo Chi suddenly thought of Aatrox, who was far away in the Shurima Empire.
It's also thanks to Aatrox not being here, otherwise Zoe would have been in danger of losing the Nine Clans.
Although it wasn't Zoe who sealed the Darkspawn in the first place, it was clear that Aatrox didn't bother with it.
He didn't know exactly which Twilight Star Spirit had sealed them, but he only remembered one name, and that was Twilight Star Spirit!
Seeing that Zuo Chi didn't speak, just chanting Zoe's name, Soraka said softly:
"Zuo Chi, maybe we can go to the Giant God Peak to find Zoe? I'm willing to accompany you. ”
This time, Zuo Chi retracted the light under his eyes.
He just stared at Soraka in front of him with eyes as plain as stagnant water.
Soraka was a little flustered by Zuo Chi's eyes, she raised her hand and pulled the corner of Zuo Chi's clothes:
"Zuo Chi, what's wrong with you?"
Zuo Chi said lightly: "Soraka, before I go to the Giant God Peak, do I still need to go to the Demacia Palace to find the remaining four world runes?" ”
Soraka was slightly stunned, suddenly feeling a little flustered, but she nodded anyway.
"That way you can be safer, after all, a little more strength is a little more protection."
Zuo Chi continued to ask, "What about after going to the Giant God Peak?" ”
At this point, Zuo Chi almost forced Soraka into a corner, and Soraka didn't even have room to retreat:
"Soraka, from the time you appeared until now, you seem to have been trying to guide me to the Giant God Peak."
Zuo Chi's hand slowly raised, his hand completely transformed into the appearance of a blue-gold star, and the aura belonging to Aurelian Thor completely spread.
"You know I have his power in me, right? You also know what the consequences will be for me and him if I appear on the Giant God Peak. ”
"The Titan Clan will never allow Thor to make any outrageous moves, and once I appear at the Giant God Peak, I'm afraid I will only be wiped out."
Listening to Zuo Chi's cold tone, Soraka's tone was suffocated, her face was full of panic, and she began to shake her head quickly.
"No, that's not the case, Zuo Chi, I didn't mean that!"
Zuochi didn't speak, just looked at Soraka quietly.
During this period of time, Zuo Chi has seen all of Soraka's many abnormal performances, and Zuo Chi even feels that Soraka has long expected that he will need the key in Zoe's hand, so she will appear at the right time and guide him step by step towards the Giant God Peak.
If things are not what Zuo Chi thinks, then it can only be said that all this is really too much of a coincidence.
Facing Zuo Chi's eyes, Soraka tightly pulled the corner of Zuo Chi's clothes, and said with an anxious expression:
"Zuo Chi, I never thought of divulging your secret to the Giant God Clan, and I never had any thoughts of hurting you, I even"
By the end, Soraka's voice became so low that it seemed as if even she didn't believe her words.
"I even hope you can reconcile the relationship between the dragon and the titan from this."
"I can sense that the dragon may not be free from the control of the giant god clan in a short time, and by then, too many people will die, and I don't want to see anyone die."
In the end, Soraka seemed to be in too much of a hurry, her face flushed a little, and her breathing became even more rapid.
And after Zuo Chi heard Soraka's words, he was directly stunned.
He looked at Soraka blankly, then pointed at himself:
"Reconcile Aurelian Thor with the Titans. Yes? I? ”
Let Ben Boba kill Sun Wukong, and let Xing Daorong fight Lu Bu, right!
Although Zuo Chi has never seen a real giant god, it can be seen from the fact that he can create a crown that traps Thor and an expeditionary star field, and the strength of the giant god is definitely extremely strong, and at worst it is far better than the highest level of the Runeterra.
It was a terrifying group of beings with a single thought of shattered stars, and it turned him to reconcile their relationship
Zuo Chi suddenly felt that it was more likely that the Giant God Clan wanted to trick himself into killing him at the Giant God Peak.
It seemed that Soraka also sensed how appalling her words were, and she explained, "At least we can try. Zuo Chi, I really don't have any thoughts of hurting you, you have to trust me. ”
By the end, Soraka's eyes had become watery, and his hands were clutching the corners of Zuo Chi's clothes.
Zuo Chi looked at Soraka in front of him, listening to her anxious explanation, and couldn't help but soften a little in his heart.
However, he still asked, "What if I go to the Giant God Peak and the Giant God perceives the power in my body?" ”
"No, it won't."
Soraka said confidently: "Zoe will directly isolate the aura of power on your body, and the giant god will not find out." ”
"So, Zoe is still involved in this?" Zuo Chi asked again.
In order to convince Zuo Chi of himself, Soraka tried his best to explain:
"Zoe is the most powerful Star Spirit of all time, she has inherited all the powers of Twilight Titan, and she is even indistinguishable from Titan. Because of this, she became the cosmic messenger and dragon keeper of this generation. ”
"She also doesn't want to see the dragon and the giant god completely turn against each other, so she will definitely not let the giant god find out about you."
Hearing this, Zuo Chi's face gradually softened, and he also knew that he was wrong to blame Soraka.
With a long exhale, Zuo Chi looked apologetically at Soraka.
"I'm sorry Soraka, I misunderstood."
"No, no."
Soraka hurriedly shook his head: "It's me who didn't think about it, I just recalled what I did during this time, from your point of view, it's really easy to misunderstand." ”
With that, Soraka stood on tiptoe and straightened Zuo Chi's wrinkled clothes, and whispered at the same time:
"Zuo Chi, you are willing to believe my explanation, I am very happy."
"That Us"
Zuo Chi couldn't help but look up at the sky, and said softly: "Find a time to go to the Giant God Peak, it just so happens that I am also curious, what is in this box." ”
Hearing this, Soraka's face was full of surprise.
She shook Zuo Chi's arm happily:
"Thank you, my child!"
Zuo Chi rubbed Soraka's pair of furry ears viciously: "Call my name!" ”
On the side, listening to the conversation between Zuo Chi and Soraka, Mo Teng only felt confused.
For him, a native demon of the Land of Runeterra, he couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about at all.
It was also at this time that Zuo Chi looked at Mo Teng.
"Stay here, and I'll be back soon!"
"Yes, master."
Mo Teng nodded hurriedly.
After doing all this, Zuochi and Soraka left Fosbello and hurried again in the direction of Demacia's Xiongdu.
Zuo Chi looked at the scene that flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, where the World Runes would be hidden by Ruiz in Demacia.
If he took all the world runes away, Ruiz wouldn't be in a hurry to pick up his hair.
