Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

World runes, the original power of Runeland.

When it comes to world runes, most people who know them will think of the Rune War that swept through the entire Rune Land a thousand years ago and completely changed the situation in Rune Land.

As for Ino, who has been taught by Kalya, her understanding of the world's runes is obviously better than others who are mixed with fear of war.

According to Kalya, world runes are a "coupled body of high-purity magical energy and the materialization of world rules", and they are runes that represent the rules of the world.

Although the world runes appeared one after another and finally triggered a world-destroying war, Kalya was still sleeping, but in the Shurima Empire era, he actually searched for the world runes - but at that time, Even with all the efforts of the whole country, not a single world rune or world rune fragment has been found in the Shurima Empire.

Considering the Shurima Empire's control over the entire Shurima at that time, if the world runes really existed in Shurima, it was almost impossible.

After getting this conclusion, Kalya, who was a little confused, spent hundreds of years looking at ores and other aspects before he came to the conclusion that "the world's runes have not yet been born."

Judging from Karya's research results at that time, many minerals in Shurima will naturally absorb free magic power. The more turbulent the elemental tide is, the faster they absorb magic power.

When absorbed over a long period of time, these minerals will clearly exhibit characteristics similar to spontaneous energy sources.

During this period, Kalya even crossed the Strait of Valoran and went to Valoran and even Ionia, which were even more ignorant than Shurima at the time, to look for traces of magic. Finally, it was confirmed that the runic energy and various magics in Runeterra The birth of ores, magical animals, and magical plants are inextricably linked.

Kalya, who came to this conclusion, later put forward a hypothesis: If the concentration of natural magic power in a certain area is extremely high, but there are not enough magic animals and plants to grow and consume the abundant magic power, then the local mineral veins will be very rich. It can absorb high-concentration magic power and form ultra-high-concentration magic crystals.

This kind of magic crystal is most likely the world rune.

In other words, the world runes are the "tumors" or "stones" of Runeland, which are formed by the blocked flow of magic power.

If this inference is true, then the reason why Shurima has no world runes is very simple - the utilization rate of magic in this land is very high.

Although the maintenance of many public facilities in Shurima at that time relied on the power of the astral realm, both the sun disk itself and the ascension ceremony required the consumption of a large number of precious magic items.

This kind of consumption effectively reduces the concentration of free magic power in Shurima, preventing Shurima from giving birth to world runes that are highly coupled with world rules and high-purity magic energy.

Likewise, Ionia fits this reasoning.

Although Ionia is one of the areas richest in magic in Rune Land, due to the existence of the spirit world and the activity of all spirits, the magic here is always in a very healthy flow, so no world runes are born.

For Karya, this is undoubtedly good news.

Compared with world runes that follow the chaotic will of almost elemental life, the orderly flow of magic in Shurima and Ionia is healthier.

Although the situation of holding the world runes and having great power in one body seems very touching, it also means that one has to bear all the pressure to transform nature - frequently use the power of the world runes, even if the will is no longer No matter how determined a person is, he will not be able to bear it.

Of course, because there were no samples of world runes at that time, Kalya's opinion could only be regarded as an inference.

However, although the reason for the birth of the World Rune is still uncertain, no one has doubts about the power of the World Rune.

Look at the sunken part of the northeastern coast of Noxus - that is the best work of the world's runes. The explosion of the destruction runes directly sunk a land with a radius of thousands of miles, and the tsunami caused caused even more damage. The order of the Sea of ​​Watch has been almost completely reshuffled. Therefore, no matter whether the world runes are a God-given source of energy or a tumor in Runeterra, no matter how careful you are with the world runes, you can never be too cautious!

It was precisely because Kalya told Lux ​​and Ino about his research on the world runes in detail that when Ino heard that these wonderful flames were probably ignited by the world runes, his face changed. A sudden change.

"However, there is no need to be so nervous." Sensing Ino's vigilance, Kalya comforted him in time, "World runes are also divided into levels. If my hypothesis is correct, then strictly speaking, Hex Crystal is also a kind of world rune - don’t be too nervous.”

"But these flames still make me very uneasy." Although Ino nodded, he still couldn't take his eyes away from the beating white flames. "It's far more dangerous than the Hex Crystal."

"Hey, how could this happen?" Kalya was stunned when he heard this, "From what I can tell, the energy they contain is not as amazing as the Hex Crystals!"

Hearing what Kalya said, Ino was also a little surprised - on the issue of world runes, there was such a big discrepancy between her and Kalya's perceptions. This was obviously not normal!

"Maybe it's because of the ice bloodline?" Ino closed his eyes, tried to activate the magic perception, and then created a piece of ice. "How to put it... it seems that my bloodline hates this kind of power more than my perception. .”

"Ice bloodline repels the power of runes..." Kalya pondered for a moment, "My magic perception should be fine. Let's let go of the issue about your bloodline for now. Let's go. It's not that dangerous here. Keep moving forward."

Although the perception deep in the bloodline was still frantically warning, out of trust in Kalya, Ino still nodded and continued to move deeper into this passage.

……………………

The passage that slopes downward seems to have no end.

However, as they walked, Ino and Kalya felt a subtle sense of familiarity almost at the same time.

It seemed like they had seen this kind of diagonally downward passage before.

"Teacher, are you sure you really didn't leave a laboratory similar to Zaun's in Demacia?" After turning a corner and seeing a familiar underground hall, Ino finally couldn't help but ask, "The architectural style and layout here look exactly the same as the laboratory underground in Zaun!"

"Shouldn't it?" Karya also muttered a little guilty, "I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet. I'm pretty sure that the laboratories previously arranged in Demacia are all open-air, and they are located in Renwall!"

"But, isn't this too similar?" Ino came to a door, looked at the smooth door, and couldn't help but rub his temples, "Look at this door, this is really not a laboratory designed by you. ?”

"It's not true!" Kalya denied repeatedly, "There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. I have never arranged a laboratory here, and it is impossible for my students to run here... Wait, maybe this is true. possible."

Hearing Kalya say that it might have been done by one of her students, the corners of Ino's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. She cleared her throat, and before Kalya could react, she shouted out the words "Let Kalya Hateful words.

"Karya is a fool!"

The next moment, the door opened - however, it was not opened by a password, but someone heard the noise and pushed the door open.

"Who is yelling outside?" A hooded guy in black robe opened the door, stuck his head out, and said impatiently, "Forgot the keystone again?"

Then, he saw Ino at the door.

Both sides were stunned.

Under Kalya's reminder, Ino quickly realized what was going on. A puzzled expression appeared on her face, and she fabricated a purpose for herself.

"Is this the archives room?"

"Archives room?" Ino's Demon Searcher attire obviously affected the other party's judgment to a certain extent. The other party showed an impatient look on his face and waved his hand as if to shoo away flies, "Now the Demon Searcher's Don’t you have any induction training for rookies? This is not the office department of your demon searchers, get out!”

Obviously, the other party never thought about the possibility of Ino being an intruder - this place is located deep underground in the Forbidden Prison, which is a safer and more private place than Dawn Castle. He obviously regarded Ino as a search warrant who entered by mistake. Devil.

Although I don't know why she came in here, some bastard must have forgotten to close the door. Although this kind of thing happens rarely, it is not unheard of.

Considering that this guy's attitude is quite rude, and this rudeness is even based on Ino's Demon Searcher outfit, and there are only legends who have the courage to be so rude to Demon Searchers... The silent man among them!

Realizing this, Ino pretended to be panicked and lowered his head to apologize. Then, when the other party wanted to close the door, a thin but tough layer of ice blocked the door.

"you--"

"Sorry."

The ice spread, and the unfortunate guy was frozen in place by Ino.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ino ducked into the door, and then closed the door very skillfully.

……………………

After entering the door, Ino's expression became even more subtle - the internal structure here can be said to be highly similar to the laboratory in Zaun!

With this unlucky man captured, Ino passed the square-shaped registration office with ease and came to the door of the locker room.

After making sure no one was inside, she stuffed the prisoner directly into the locker room.

The next moment, thick ice spread and locked the entire locker room.

After completing all this, Ino finally ended the freezing of this silent man.

"Hello, Mr. Silent Man." With a smile on his lips, Ino greeted him politely, "Time is limited, how about I ask you an answer?"

The silent man obviously had some objections to this. After Ino released the freeze on him, he immediately shouted for help at the top of his lungs.

Unfortunately, he shouted so loud that he was almost out of oxygen, and no one came to save him.

"Don't waste your efforts, Mr. Silent Man." Ino shook his head helplessly, "I have no ill intentions. This trip is just to get to know the famous Silent Man..."

"Cunning villain!" Seeing that no one came to save him, the Silent Man gritted his teeth and began to speak harshly with trembling corners of his mouth, "The Silent Man will not let you go, you will be completely eliminated in silence. !”

It's impossible to do anything. Although I don't know why such a powerful mage sneaked into Demacia's capital and the Forbidden Prison, but judging from the other party's performance, she seems to be hoping to take something out of her mouth. .

Therefore, at this time, we should mainly delay the time and not resist violently!

If they were killed on the spot because of resistance, it would be a huge loss.

"..."

This fierce look made Ino's mouth twitch. She rubbed her temples, barely restrained herself from laughing out loud, and began to ask Kalya what to do.

"Just let him dry for a while." Kalya seemed to be quite experienced in torture, "It's really interesting. Did you find it? There is a very interesting thing hanging on his waist."

Ino nodded and picked up a "stone" from his waist.

The magic power contained in this inconspicuous stone that looked similar to the Forbidden Demon Stone surprised Ino even more. What's even more rare is that there are many magic circuits outlined on this Forbidden Demon Stone. Carefully identify it. After some examination, with Ino's current eyesight, he could only judge that it was some kind of special starting device.

"This is the keystone that opens the door." Kalya seemed to be familiar with it, "Obvious Shurima style... To be honest, I'm a little curious now about who built such an underground base here. "

"At least now it can be confirmed that the Silent Man is much bigger than we thought before." Ino replied while studying the keystone in front of the Silent Man whose face had turned into the color of pig liver, " Teacher Kalya, none of your students have come to Demacia?"

"No, absolutely not." Kalya said firmly, "If there is, it is impossible for him not to come to see me after I have been sleeping here for so long. I still have this confidence."

"That's interesting." Ino leaned back, and a chair made of solid ice appeared under her. "According to you, when Demacia was established, it was the same as Shurima. The biggest connection is only with the protoss, her daughter, husband, and a group of children brought over from Shurima."

"That's right."

"But this secret underground laboratory looks exactly like the laboratory in Shurima - but neither the descendants of the protoss nor the orphans of Shurima have the ability to create such a laboratory." Ino tried to think. , but the more I thought about it, the more I thought, "Why do I feel like there is a missing link between this?"

"It's related to the world runes." Kalya agreed with her view, "Forget it, let's just wait and see. Look at this guy, he can't bear it anymore."

Kalya’s Little Class·Inference about the world runes:

Lacking crucial evidence, Kalya's knowledge of the world's runes is very limited.

And because Shurima has Ascended Ones, a Sun Disk, and no shortage of energy, Kalya gave up continuing to study the world runes after finding no results.
