Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

For Demacia, Taric's victory was not only a victory in the game, but also a "victory against Noxus". Therefore, even if he ultimately lost to Galen in the subsequent battle and stopped in four Strong, but the title of Shield of Demacia still spread quickly.

Although Taric's background is average, considering that he defeated Urgot, physically swollen the Noxian's face, and later lost to Garen "very wisely", so in the tourney After that, his future can be said to be bright.

(Of course, the actual situation is that although Taric can defeat Urgot through fighting, provocation, and defensive counterattacks, he really cannot beat Galen...)

As a person with good strength, no heel behind him, and a good relationship with the legitimate son of the Crown Guard family, Tarik undoubtedly became the marriage target of many nobles after the tournament.

As a result, after becoming famous, Tarik, a country boy, quickly entered the inner circle of Demacia's capital.

When you come into contact with the circle of nobles, you naturally have to come into contact with the art circle - under the guidance of Lux, Demacia has a considerable degree of support for various forms of art. Although Lux left Demacia after enduring the punishment of the stone crown, But the Artists Support Association she formed continues to work.

Although he was just a boy from the countryside, Tariq quickly became immersed in the world of art after being exposed to it.

Being fond of art is also a kind of "elegant taste" in Demacia, but unlike other nobles, Tarik really likes these beautiful works of art. After work, he often wanders in the ocean of art. Here, visit art exhibitions and listen to concerts.

As for his hobby, the nobles who wanted to win over him simply took advantage of the situation and allowed him to work in the city guard of Demacia's capital while remaining a member of the Fearless Vanguard.

The identity of the Fearless Vanguard represents his status and identity in the military world, and working in the Demacian Capital City Guards gives him an opportunity to move in the circle of nobles. Tarik, who has both, only needs to obtain With a title that can be passed down to future generations, a new noble family will emerge in Demacia.

However, just when everything seemed to be going for the best, something unexpected happened.

……………………

The success of the tournament greatly enhanced Demacia's diplomatic influence, and Jarvan III even intended to institutionalize it every three or four years.

Following the influence of the tournament, Demacia's diplomatic offensive was successfully launched, not only consolidating its own sphere of influence, but also winning over many neutral principalities and city-states.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jarvan III proposed the establishment of a [Valoran Mutual Aid Alliance] to jointly fight against the pressure of Noxus.

Many influential countries in the Valoran continent, including Nokomochi and the Principality of Shining Silver, responded one after another. Envoys suddenly gathered and headed towards the capital of Demacia.

As a member who rose up in the tournament, Taric, who was still working in the Demacia City Guard at the time, naturally shouldered the security task of this diplomatic event.

At this moment, an accident happened.

It was a seemingly ordinary night. The envoys gathered in the hall. In order to deepen their relationship with each other and to exchange some diplomatic interests, a grand cocktail party began.

At the reception, the messengers chatted and laughed, either praising the greatness of Demacia or discussing the decline of Noxus in Ionia.

Although Tariq is the person in charge of security here, he has no interest in this kind of cocktail party. For him, this kind of occasion is not beautiful at all, and staying here is a waste of time - in comparison, it is not. It would be more fun to attend the Illuminati Choir's new concert.

Hearing that this was the choir's first concert after Miss Sona of the Bouvier family became the first organist, Tariq sat in the front row of the auditorium early after arranging the specific security matters.

The concert was perfect. Miss Sona was truly a musical genius. The complex organ seemed no different from ordinary instruments in front of her.

However, what Tariq did not expect was that when the concert ended and he stood up to applaud, a group of Dauntless Vanguard soldiers led by Galen broke into the auditorium hall and pushed him down. On the seat.

Something happened over there at the guild hall.

An unknown cruel murderer broke into the guild hall during the banquet and killed all the guards, servants and messengers present.

At the last moment of their lives, everyone looked horrified, as if they had seen something unbelievably terrible. Their muscles curled up and their blood surged, as if they had experienced indescribable pain and torture.

There is no doubt that this was not only a horrific murder, but also a diplomatic incident with serious consequences - a considerable number of these envoys who died in the guild hall were the first heirs of various principalities and city-states, and they were sent I came to Demacia to gain experience and build a good relationship with Demacia, but ended up dying miserably overnight for no apparent reason...

Not only is the [Valoran Mutual Aid Alliance] that Jarvan III had high hopes for come to an end, Demacia and Demacia also need to provide sincere compensation.

As the person in charge of security, Tariq, who was not at the scene that day, was naturally pushed out.

Each principality and city-state needs an explanation.

Then Demacia can only use Tarik's life as an explanation for this accident - this is the best way to show Demacia's sincerity. The Valoran Mutual Aid Alliance was originally born out of the tourney, and Tarik was also in Rising up in this competition and taking down this shining Shield of Demacia is the only way for Jarvan III to appease these allies.

……………………

The Death of the Crown of Stone was Demacia's last act of dignity towards Taric.

Different from Lux's "default exile" in the past, in order to appease the various countries, Taric's stone crown punishment was a serious stone crown punishment this time - even the Principality of Nokmoch, which lost its heir in the murder, specially sent As an observer, I wanted to see with my own eyes Tariq Mai starting from Kalamanda barefoot and starting to climb along Mount Targon until she died.

Tariq is not a professional climber.

His strength had not really reached an otherworldly level, so on the seventh day after the climb began, he suffered severe frostbite.

As his right leg gradually lost consciousness, Tariq still persisted in limping forward until he completely lost his balance and fell into the snow on the side of the road.

Seeing this, the Nocmooch observers who followed him finally chose to return the same way - in their opinion, Tarik was already dead. He just fell on the snow line in sackcloth, and it wouldn't take long for him to return to the tower. It will completely freeze to death.

Just follow me here, that's all.

In this way, the two Knockmooch observers left the same way, leaving Tariq alone in the snow, almost stopping breathing.

The wind and snow hit, and after the two observers went down the mountain and left, Tariq was finally covered in heavy snow and became silent again.

The heavy snow almost swallowed Tariq, and the extreme pain brought him to the limit of his will. Under the snow quilt, he seemed to hear a voice calling him, urging him to stand up, urging him to stand up. Continuing to move forward, he seemed to have seen the greatest truth in the world.

Encouraged by this voice, when the wind and snow stopped, Tariq miraculously stood up!

However, Tarik stood up again and was completely different from before.

In his eyes, the mountains of Mount Targon were no longer desolate and cold, and the undulating mountains were no longer monotonous and repetitive—there was a layer of light that ordinary people could not see clearly shrouding this sacred snow-capped mountain and the entire Runeterra.

Tarik heard the call, and there was a slight smile on his lips. After lightly dusting the snow on his body, he took steps and ran towards the south, towards the direction of Mount Targon.

Climbing Mount Targon from the northern foot is destined to be a long journey.

At the beginning, Tariq would drink snow and swallow ice to relieve the pain of being empty in his abdomen, but when he set out again, he no longer needed to eat - the light of heaven shone on him, and this was It was enough to keep him energized.

In this way, Tarik set out from Kalamanda and advanced along the continuous mountains of Mount Targon. He traveled thousands of miles without eating or drinking, going up and down the mountain. Finally, after trekking, he arrived at the main peak of Mount Targon.

Here, Tarik could clearly feel that the voice calling him had become clearer.

In his field of vision, in addition to that layer of brilliance that ordinary people could not see, there was also a lot more content.

These contents seemed to have traveled through time and space, displaying countless wonders in front of him. Although Tariq could not understand it all at this time, he could only glance at it like an ignorant child looking at the illustrations in a book without knowing the meaning. The sight, but it still made him extremely happy.

While walking on the road to climb Mount Targon, Tarik felt as if he was running towards the end of the world, embracing the absolute truth!

So, he quickened his pace, braved the wind and snow, and using his hands and feet, he easily crossed the Qianren cliff and reached the snow line of the main peak, where he met Lux and Ino.

When Lux and Ino discovered Tariq, Tariq also discovered them.

Tariq, who had met the two of them once, did not recognize their identities, but when he saw their long hair that was filled with celestial light, Tariq instinctively felt a sense of closeness.

Just when Tariq was about to say hello, his eyes fell on the sword in Lux's hand.

The purple-black sword hilt was so dazzling in Tariq's field of vision. When it appeared on the sacred Titan Peak, it was like a large ball of black ink on the white paper, making people want to wrinkle it. He frowned.

"The sword in your hand is very dangerous." Tarik came to Lux and said in an unquestionable tone, "Throw it away immediately!"

Kalya’s Little Classroom: Hunting the Murderer:

Although Taric has been held responsible for the entire incident, Demacia has not relaxed its pursuit of the murderer of this vicious case.

However, what is puzzling is that this murderer seems to have left no trace. No matter what methods the Demacians took, there was not even a single meaningful clue.
