Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

As trade in the north gradually became the norm, the intelligence team traveling with the caravans started from the Freljord Peninsula, all the way eastward, entered the Rakstak Plains, and passed through the West Freljord. and large areas of the Freljord Peninsula.

Although he only collected information and compiled travel notes, and even though he only passed through some villages and settlements, Fosbello no longer looked at the Freljord with the same disdain he once had.

Of course, if you want to know more... that's not enough. After all, the focus of the work is in the south. For Lux, Freljord is her important trading partner and a hidden enemy that needs to be careful.

The main goal of the intelligence team is to prepare for a rainy day.

And now, as Iva returns and brings news about Laxtak City, Lax, who was still in charge of economic work in Xiongdu, preparing to refine the clerk organization and assign follow-up tasks, has to set off immediately and return. Forsbarrow.

At the same time, Ino also received the news and accelerated the pace of going south to take over the city - she had to end the war as soon as possible and then reorganize the team in order to allow the northern travelers who were traveling all the way to rest.

Because if the intelligence is true, then for at least the next year, Demacia's main focus will be on the north.

So, what information did the intelligence team in Larkstadt send back?

There are two pieces of information.

The first article is this: "A large number of unknown creatures have appeared in the eastern part of Freljord. Ashe and the Avarosa tribe have been elected as the leaders of many tribes, and they are going to the west to fight against powerful enemies."

This kind of information is actually of little value, because the situation in Freljord can only be said to have no large-scale war. Various wandering tribes and marauders are still rampant everywhere, the ice trolls have never been honest, and Ashe has She is a leader who adheres to Avarosa's will and is not good at conquests. Once any tribe is too strong, she will be elected as the leader and go to suppress it.

Of course, although it is said to be suppression, in fact Ashe rarely uses force. Most of the time she plays the role of peacemaker - she is in the prime of life at this time, and the Avarosa tribe is also trading in the north. It has grown further under the nourishment of her, so most of the surrounding tribes will give her some face.

Moreover, Ai Xi has also mastered the method of influencing other tribes through the outflow of some materials. The Avarosa tribe has good combat power, and others cannot rob them. If you want the good things in Ai Xi's hands, just Can only rely on transactions.

Although the Freljord's fragile tribal transactions now rely entirely on Ashe's own reputation and means, and are purely a strongman order, compared with before, the Rakstak Plains have indeed achieved rare peace.

Therefore, the first piece of news did not attract too much attention. Even the Forsbarrow intelligence team that received the news just sealed the news as a routine, and then sent a courier to pass it south - this level of daily news, even He is not even qualified to torment dragons and birds.

However, a month later, Ivar returned again, this time with news that made everyone in the Forsbarrow intelligence team feel like they were facing an enemy.

"The Avarosan coalition returned with a great defeat, and Ashe himself seemed to have been seriously injured. According to the defeated, those monsters were a twisted collection of all horrors. They poured out of the abyss continuously in endless numbers. , no matter how powerful a warrior is, they will be overwhelmed by them and then become a part of them."

"Although Ashe once showed up and claimed that the problem has been solved and the monster will not spread westward, judging from the state of the remaining defeated troops, this is probably just a reassurance."

"Because the mental state of the people who returned to Larkstadt was very poor, it was difficult for the intelligence team to collect information, because as long as the battle and the failure were mentioned, those who experienced it were likely to collapse instantly like a sudden illness. "

"The intelligence team can only piece together some less than precise descriptions from scattered sentences that are like babble."

"The key words are as follows:"

"Purple."

"aurora."

"Cracked."

"insect."

"Swallow."

"..."

"..."

The news sent back by the intelligence team was really a bit too scary. Although the final news stated that Rakstark was theoretically safe, and Ashe also claimed that the monsters were under control, based on the internal voting of the intelligence team, they still decided to issue a red As an early warning signal, I sent this message back to Fossbarrow in multiple batches, hoping that it would be taken seriously.

After getting the news, the Fosbarrow intelligence team did not dare to neglect at all, and quickly changed hands and sent Ivar to Xiongdu - when Ivar's huge body appeared unobstructed in the sky of Xiongdu, even It also caused a stir, and clerks had to work overtime to post notices to appease the people.

Lux got the news from the intelligence team immediately, and then she was shocked.

The people in the keyword intelligence team can't understand these words, but can Lacus not understand them?

Purple, aurora, cracking, bugs, swallowing...

It cannot be said that it is quite similar to Icacia's Herniation of the Void, it can only be said that it is exactly the same.

Is there a Void Rift in the Freljord too? !

If that's the case...that would be really troublesome!

The void rift that originally sealed Icathia relied on the Shurima Empire's massive Ascended Legion and the monolithic fortress built with all the efforts of the country. In the end, it only managed to close the void rift.

Now if the land of the Freljord is also cracked...how can a monolithic fortress be built?

It can only be said that Demacia's magic production is still in its infancy. If we don't rely on unity to promote production and gather the power of tens of thousands of people in a monolithic fortress, how much strength can mortals have when facing the void? ?

Or is it that now we can only let Kalya show off his old face and gather the dark descendants?

But when the dark descendants face the void again, will they generously seek relief, or will they completely degenerate?

The frowning Lux immediately found Kalya, who was becoming more and more leisurely recently, and gave him the information directly.

After reading the information, Kalya's brows furrowed on his mask.

"This is not going to be easy." He shook his head, "If the earth cracks and Rune Land and the Void Land are connected, then I'm afraid no one can stop the expansion of the Void now."

Kalya told a very surprising fact in a very calm tone. His tone was so natural that Lacus even heard it as a matter of course.

"so?"

"So now that the intelligence team can still send back news, it proves that Runeterra and the Void Land are not completely connected and something is stopping them. And didn't the intelligence team also say that Ashe said they can't spread westward."

"That might just be reassuring rhetoric."

"But you can only believe it now and prepare according to this situation." Kalya nodded, "If only a small scale of void creatures appears, or some teleportation points are exposed between Rune Land and Void Land , then as long as appropriate methods are adopted, it is possible to cut off the contact between the two parties."

"How to do it exactly?"

"Use high energy to destroy the stability of space and form a barrier with space turbulence as a barrier." Kalya seemed to be familiar with this. "Of course, before that, we must first clear out the void that has arrived in Freljord. Creatures, especially sentient void creatures, and annihilate the anchor completely."

"Destroying the stability of space is easy to solve." Recalling the content about energy units in her introduction to advanced elements, Lux nodded slightly, "It is easy to understand to clean up void creatures, but destroying anchor points... this is another problem. what happened?"

"To put it simply, if the Void Land wants to connect to the Rune Land, it must have an anchor point. This anchor point can be a person or something else. It must be completely eliminated before it can be cut off. The connection between the Void and Runeterra.”

"Did someone attract Void's attention?"

"It's most likely so." Kalya nodded again, "But that's not the point. It's not difficult to eliminate the anchor points. The real difficulty is how to clean up the void creatures."

"Is the void creature... difficult to deal with?"

In Lux's impression, void creatures should not be considered powerful. Among the past events about the Battle of Icathia that Kalya told, the most dangerous thing was never the overwhelming void worms, but the earth. After the cracking, the fatal void erosion can easily turn everything into void nutrients like digestive juice.

"There are no large-scale void creatures in Rune Land now." Kalya saw Lux's confusion and couldn't help but shook her head, "You have really never seen the overwhelming void creatures. When the void rift was sealed, At that time, the monolithic fortress was bombed for three months to clear out the void creatures blocking it."

Hearing this time, Lacus finally opened her eyes wide.

"How long?"

"Three months." Kalya held out three fingers. "It will take three months to keep the monolithic fortress in suspended mode, with the air force escorts taking turns dispatching, the engineering team doing their best to maintain it to avoid overloading, and bombing day and night. Ken clears a hole through which to bridge the gap.”

At this moment, Lux's face was a little stiff.

"The most troublesome problem with void creatures is that they follow a unified will." Kalya continued to explain, "No matter how elite the army is, command and action will inevitably be delayed, and everyone will have their own considerations. But void creatures will not. Although the void escape beasts you see now living sporadically in the desert are no different from ordinary beasts, as long as they enter the state of protecting the void passage, they will unite their minds. .”

"Do they have a commander?" Lux pursed her lips, "You said before that there is a being called a monitor."

"Maybe it's the commander, maybe it's not." Kalya shook his head slightly, "It's difficult for a mortal to use his own thinking to consider everything in the void. Even I only have some subtle perceptions. The will of the monitor may not belong to surveillance. The observers, or even the monitors, are very likely to be part of the Void Land... The decapitation tactic is effective, but it can only temporarily curb the actions of the Void creatures. The key is to clear out the Void creatures guarding the Void teleportation point."

"That's really too bad." Hearing what Kalya said, Lux could only sigh helplessly, "Demacia is more than ten thousand miles away from East Freljord. At this distance, the most elite It is impossible for the snowfield walkers to go to support."

"Actually, it's not impossible." A smile appeared on Kalya's face. "If there is a monolithic fortress, even if it is thousands of miles away, it won't be a problem."

"What you said is easy." Lux's expression was subtle. "With Demacia's current magic industry capabilities, it is difficult to build a Forbidden Stone Fortress with a complete set of facilities. How about a monolithic fortress..."

"Demacia does not have this ability yet, but as far as I know, there is a ready-made monolithic fortress in one place." Kalya stood up and pointed to the corner of the map on the wall, "In Ixtal, Iva It has been confirmed that there are still a large number of monoliths there.”

"Legacy of the Shurima Empire?"

"There should be no other organization that would spend a lot of money to build a monolithic fortress."

"So, you want to show off your dignity as a highly respected person again?"

"No, my face may not be of much use to Ixtar." Kalya shook his head gently, "In other words, even if I still have some face, the Ixtar people may not be willing to take it. Exit the Monolithic Fortress."

"Why?" Lux obviously didn't understand. "Isn't the Monolith Fortress built to fight against the void? Shouldn't Ixtal not understand the meaning of death and coldness?"

"If it's just a fortress, then maybe they will give their own conditions for Rune Land." Kalya shrugged, with a hint of hatred in his tone, "But it's a pity that those bastards have already destroyed the monolith." The fortress has become their private castle, and my reputation may not be enough for them to contribute the monolithic fortress."

"Private castle?"

"As a military fortress, in addition to military functions, the Monolith Fortress also has a good rest camp. The Monolith material itself is also a very precious pure element material. After the threat of the void is gone, the Monolith can be used as an energy material. , naturally quite easy to use.”

Although Kalya said "natural", Lacus could clearly see that Kalya's appearance was quite unnatural. Based on her understanding of her teacher, I am afraid that he had already written those words in his little notebook in his heart. The Tahr people's names are painted with red crosses.

"So, if you want to get the Monolithic Fortress, you don't need to borrow it?"

"Of course not." Kalya snorted, "You dismantled the monolithic fortress to use as an energy source, and you still want storage fees? I still have to calculate the depreciation fees!"

"But I can't leave here for the time being..."

"You are not needed." Kalya was already prepared. "There is no need for Ino. The situation in Demacia must be stabilized, and the pace of magic industrialization can be suspended. You must ensure that there is no trouble, as long as Shyvana is with me. .”

The target ahead, Ixtal.
