In the rest of Runeterra, there is almost no word of practice.
Ionian tradition focuses on three key words:
Harmony, balance, harmony between man and nature.
These three keywords can all be summarized by practice, and the reason why such a tradition appears in Ionia is actually related to the environment and water and soil of this nascent land.
After all, the power of nature here is too strong, more powerful than Freljord.
If the Freljord's ice bloodline can communicate with the power of nature, then Ionians can sense the power of nature from birth. It's not about how strong the Ionians are, but the reason for this land, its spirit.
The barrier between the world and the physical world is particularly weak in this land.
At this time, Lin Luo suddenly understood something. He suddenly realized that it was not just the First Land that had the spiritual world and the material world. In fact, the entire Rune Land had it, but Ionia was more obvious. The boundaries of this place were too clear.
Weak!
"So... the original Avarosa... was also a manifestation of the spiritual world?"
Lin Luo suddenly thought of this. This obviously couldn't be a coincidence, especially after he asked Bu Nu.
The other party clearly told him that the entire Rune Land has a spiritual world and a material world, but the barrier in other places is too huge, and even the people of the Kinkou Sect cannot penetrate it. It must use the extremely powerful power of God to do it.
.
Lin Luo suddenly realized that Gu Shuangkou was the entrance to such a spiritual world. He had already been to the spiritual world once, but it was in Freljord.
besides.
Lin Luo also learned more about Ionia from Bu Nu, and why people always maintain the path of balanced and harmonious development.
"This piece of heaven and earth, as well as the spirits of all things in the world, will respond accordingly once they are stimulated. If you are in harmony with the earth, you can harvest a warehouse full of rice; if you blend with the waves, you will have a full fishing boat; if you are in harmony with the mountains and rivers, it will be full of rice.
If you are in harmony, the weather will be smooth, and if you are in harmony with the beast spirits, then the beasts of Ionia will be friends with you..."
The more Lin Luo listened, the more surprised he became. Later, he even felt a bit like listening to a fairy tale!
"How could such a powerful ability be so badly beaten by Noxus in the first place?"
His face that was not angry darkened:
"Because we can communicate with all spirits, but we cannot communicate with human souls. Everything in the world has spirits, but only human beings cannot fathom it. The evil in human nature is terrible. They deceived the simple Ionians and deceived them.
They came up with the doctrine of balance, and then they destroyed this land and caused most of the Ionians to lose the power of communicating spirits. Therefore, what we suffered in the previous wars was almost massacre because we did not face the war.
In my experience, I have never encountered such a cold-blooded and cruel enemy."
Lin Luo understood what he meant, and was probably caught off guard, but judging from the current situation, Ionia is rising, which shows that the Ionia people after awakening in the war have officially integrated with the world and strengthened their land.
and nation.
"We won in the end because the nine Divine Dragon Lords gathered powerful power and summoned the powerful Divine Dragon, the Lord of All Spirits, to appear. The Dragon's wrath awakened all spirits and gave power to the nine Divine Dragon Lords.
, Noxus was defeated, and Ionia stood tall."
Only then did Lin Luo realize that this was already a well-known history of modern war in Ionia. It was recorded in history books and needed to be remembered by generations of descendants of Ionia.
"Okay, I've finished my tea and what I have to say."
His unangry eyes changed a bit, and he suddenly stood up:
"Boss, check out!"
In fact, Lin Luo still had many things to ask, but the other party had no intention of staying any longer and only said:
"My task has been completed. You don't need to ask me any other questions. You surprised me. You are very different from the arrogant progressive guys I have seen, so I will pay the bill this time."
Mission? Arrogant progressive guy?
Lin Luo was keenly aware that there seemed to be too many things he didn't understand when he first arrived.
There must be some reason why the Ionians resist and oppose the progressives.
There may be a long story involved, which needs to be explored and researched by oneself.
"Wait, you were just talking to me on a mission?"
Lin Luo was a little surprised, but unexpectedly, there was a bustling noise from the street outside the tea house. Looking along the noise, there was a dark purple electric light on the sky approaching from far to near, pulling out a long arc of lightning.
.
"Yes, Master Kennan, the Furious Heart of our Balance Sect, has arrived. You are a famous legendary adventurer in Runeterra. There are many things that only he is qualified to say to you, and I do not have that qualification."
Bu Nu took out four peach blossom-like pink and white coins from his withered purse, and Lin Luo took a closer look.
[Item: Spirit Blossom Coin]
[Description: Ionia’s exclusive currency, the ratio to the general currency blue essence is: 1:1]
"Store, thank you for your hospitality."
Standing tall with your chest out without anger, making hand gestures horizontally and vertically, and nodding your thanks to the owner of the teahouse, this is the etiquette of the Kinkou sect.
A magical scene happened.
Bu Nu's figure began to gradually fade away, and the whole person finally disappeared on the spot.
Ninjutsu?
Good guy, a bit handsome.
Lin Luo then received a task completion prompt.
[Reminder: You have completed the task: The Left Protector of the Kinkou Sect - The Temptation of Not Being Angry]
[Task reward: Through a series of conversations, you gain the other party's recognition, and his favorability towards you increases to: Friendly. 】
[Task reward: You have obtained the common currency of Ionia: 50 Spirit Blossom Coins (can be exchanged for blue essence at special NPC places)]
Lin Luo then saw a masked Yodel man wearing a purple ninja suit walking up the stairs. Due to his short legs, he walked very fast, and his overall speed gave people the impression of being very fast.
This yordle is the only guy so far that Lin Luo can't call cute, but has an inexplicable majesty and enigmatic temperament.
Being able to cultivate a Yodel who is born with a cute temperament to this point shows that the other party's teachings of Balance are very profound, and simply put, they are extremely powerful.
This electric rat handed over his hands when they met, and said in a dignified manner:
"Your Excellency, I am Kenan the Furious Heart of the Kinkou Sect, and I have long admired my name."
Lin Luo saw the other party panting slightly, most likely running quickly, and immediately realized that Bu Nu just now must have been sent here to hold him back, and the real purpose was that he wanted to see him.
"I don't dare. I'm tired from running around. Why don't I sit down and have a cup of tea."
Lin Luo smiled and said:
"My treat."
If Bu Nu just heard this, he would be so angry that he would be half dead. You, a guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, also likes to watch the food and eat.
Master Kainan, like Lin Luo, is a person who has seen many great things in the world and experienced great things. He has no restraints. He simply took a sip of tea and said straightforwardly:
"You are going to the Presidio in Navoli, right?"
It seems that Kennan is very well-informed. Bunui didn't know about this at all just now, but he knew it.
Lin Luo nodded:
"Exactly."
Kennan put it bluntly:
"You will be stopped."
Lin Luo smiled:
"No one can stop me."
"What is your real purpose in coming to Ionia? The partisan struggle here is for us Ionians to resolve on our own. People like you are not suitable to intervene. You are too powerful. In a sense, you are different from the original
Just like Noxus."
Kennan spoke very fast, and his huge deep purple eyes flashed with light of thunder and lightning.
He is a legendary boss at level 60. Lin Luo is probably at the legendary level now, but he is only at level 53. It is obvious that he cannot be beaten without the power of the gods, but if the power of the gods is activated, he will immediately become the target of public criticism, which is equivalent to provocation.
Throughout Ionia, he did not want to offend this ancient and powerful nation.
When the time comes, it is obviously impossible for him to find someone to help lift the curse of the gods. Therefore, peace is the most important thing. Only when others provoke him first can he take action with the excuse of counterattack. Taking the initiative would be unreasonable and obviously will not work.
of.
"The purpose of my coming here..."
Lin Luo held the teacup in his hands and played with it, then suddenly shook his head gently:
"With all due respect, I can't tell you this. But don't worry, I am who I am. I am completely different from Noxus. I will not harm any plant or tree here... provided that no one provokes me.
case."
These words made his position very clear, which made Master Kennan feel relieved and felt much more at ease.
Having heard about Lin Luo's thunderous methods, he originally thought that the other party was a person who spoke with strength, but if the other party was willing to be reasonable, then many things would not be carried out with violence.
"Well, this is your own business."
Master Kainan meditated for a while and suddenly said:
"But there will still be staunch opponents who will make things difficult for you. The Balance Sect is essentially a neutral and good camp. We don't want to see contradictions turn into conflicts. If you want to go to Presidium, I can help you."
Lin Luo was quite surprised, but after thinking about it, it was extremely reasonable. His identity was too sensitive in Zhiyun Province. If the Balance Sect was used as a lubricant, he would not go to war with the opposition members of Zhiyun Province.
"Thank you Master Kenan, but I still need to go to my legion. It will take about half a day. Will you come with me or wait here?"
Lin Luo also wants to go to the Legion of Heroes to inspect the situation.
Master Kainan said in a deep voice:
"Let's go together. You should be talking about the Legion of Adventurers and Heroes. I've heard about it a long time ago."
…
Lin Luo and Master Kennan chatted a few more words and walked towards the headquarters of the Legion of Heroes branch.
Judging from the geographical location of the alliance countries in Ionia, Zhiyun Province is located due south and is an alliance close to the South China Sea, while the Heroic Legion is in the northwest of Zhiyun Province, which is relatively inland.
After the changes caused by the Noxus Disaster nearly twenty years ago, although today's Ionia is still practicing the path of balance, all nine provinces have begun to develop their economies. Among them, Navoli Province has the most economic and technological development.
Rapidly and violently, Zhiyun Province, as an opposition party, develops economic knowledge for the most basic daily needs of the people, and resolutely rejects so-called technology.
They claim:
Vigorously developing things in the material realm such as 'technology' will cause an imbalance between the material world and the spiritual world in Ionia.
To put it simply, once science and technology develops, the original balance of material and spiritual balance will be directly destroyed.
Because the development power of science and technology is extremely strong, and this development power is the development of the purely material world, it will cause the proportion of material in Ionia to reach 70% or even 80%, while the proportion of spirit can only reach 20 to 30%
.
Once this happens, the connection between Ionia and the spiritual world will become weaker and weaker.
And once the connection between Ionians and the spiritual world becomes weaker and weaker, it will become more difficult for them to communicate with all spirits, and they will not even be able to perform those spiritual arts. They will not be able to blend with the sea to make the ships travel smoothly, and they will not be able to communicate with the sea.
The connection with the earth makes crops and harvests abundant every year...
Guyi
Therefore, Zhiyun Province will only allow economic development here at most, and will never allow so-called science and technology to appear here. This is their bottom line.
After learning about this place, Lin Luo suddenly had a wonderful idea...
That's when he suddenly thought... Zhiyun Province's concept was completely correct!
Not only is it right, it’s also a little reasonable!
But then I thought about it and it felt wrong again. Why?
Because such a simple thing is impossible to think of with the knowledge and wisdom of that Saint of Presidence, Irelia.
And knowing this, yet still do it.
This means that there are other ulterior reasons.
"etc……"
Lin Luo suddenly remembered something.
Jess mentioned it to him before he came. The latter said that a long time ago, Irelia was an extremely staunch opponent. She believed that Ionia should stick to the path of balance, but then the entire Irelia suddenly changed for unknown reasons.
Onia's development policy has become the most determined progressive.
"There must be some ulterior secret happening in this. What made the spiritual leader of the First Land become like this?"
Lin Luo suddenly became interested in this matter.
Unknowingly, he had arrived at the Hero Legion branch. Hundreds of ready-to-go members of the Hero Legion stood outside the base camp to greet him. The eyes he looked at Lin Luo were more than excited, and he could not conceal his admiration!
The most excited ones are the two brothers Qian Seng Zai and Hong Shi.
"Arlo, you are finally here, long time no see!!"
The poor monk is now the commander-in-chief of the Hero Legion branch, and the person with the greatest authority in the entire legion under Lin Luo.
Their identities are somewhat similar to the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, but Lin Luo is obviously more capable than Liu Bei, and the poor monk's wisdom here is not as high as Zhuge Liang's, but the relationship is indeed very good, and they have become true friends for so long.
.
A rare smile appeared on Lin Luo's face:
"Long time no see! How are you doing?"
He also looked at Hong Shi and Gong Ziyu in the rear, people who loved rainy days the most, ruthless and sentimental people.
The attack team that was once defeated in the Silver Difficulty Team has now become a top master of more than 40 levels. They are equipped with epic equipment. They are all famous players in the national server. It can be said that time has changed, and time has changed.
shuttle.
"How are you doing lately?"
Everyone burst into laughter:
"Of course it's good, but I haven't seen the boss for a long time."
"Shit! The boss is already level 53, what kind of god is he!"
"The gap between people is always so big. I felt it right after the first version!"
Lin Luo walked into the legion base camp surrounded by everyone and cheered, while the Furious Heart-Kenan stood quietly outside the base camp. Any player who tried to talk to him would not get a response. On the one hand, because the player did not have enough achievement points,
On the other hand, most of the NPCs in the Balance Sect don't like to talk much, and they will only open their mouths to communicate with legendary players like Lin Luo.
"Boss, where did that electric rat outside come from? He must be Kenan from the Kinkou Sect. I heard that you can get a hidden professional ninja classified as a mage by looking for him. Is this true?"
As the versions continue to change, players have gradually come into contact with more and more legendary hero NPCs. Now they are accustomed to seeing these game characters, but the rigid requirements for achievement points prevent them from having too much contact with them.
Too many players have realized that the requirements for interacting with NPCs are too high, and they just ignore them anyway, so they simply don't bother to care about it anymore. Nowadays, even if there are many NPCs walking on the streets of the main city, players are too lazy to look at them.
At first glance, it seems that I have become completely accustomed to it.
"I don't know. I should have triggered the mission there, but I don't know the details yet. Let's not talk about it. Tell me about the recent situation of the Hero Legion branch."
Lin Luo followed the legion map to the general meeting room of the legion branch.
The development here seems to be very good. There are seventy or eighty senior members above the third level, and there are more than 40,000 ordinary members to senior members below the third level.
Lin Luo had quite a lot of things on his trip. The legion matters were all minor matters. After dealing with the legion matters, it was time to go to Presidence to find Irelia. He needed to find traces of Soraka, the Son of the Stars.
It is said that she once stayed in Ionia for a long time, but only Irelia knew about this.
What follows is the most solemn meeting in the history of the Legion of Heroes branch.
Lin Luo personally convened a meeting of all senior executives.
His words were obviously very intimidating, and no one of the senior members dared to be absent, and everyone came to the meeting room.
Lin Luo didn't know most of them. They were all newly recruited members of the Heroic Legion when they settled in Ionia. They had signed a very strict company contract and became the core members of the Heroic Legion. In terms of identity, they also
After careful investigation, the credibility is extremely high.
Then Lin Luo first asked Gong Ziyu, Poor Monk Here, Love Rainy Day and these people to describe the development plans and policies they had made in Ionia during this period, as well as specific matters. This process was very detailed.
, which took more than three hours.
Lin Luo listened to these people describing the recent development of activities and major and minor matters one by one, and carefully analyzed the details, gains and losses, and suddenly realized that in terms of experience and methods in this area, they had even surpassed himself.
Their abilities in this area are no longer comparable to theirs.
In fact, this is entirely a good thing.
Lin Luo knows very well that no one is perfect, and no one is perfect. As long as you let people you trust do what they are good at, this is extremely correct. A large legion is built by countless people, and it is by no means a single person.
People can carry it on their own.
"By the way, Arlo, your current status is very sensitive."
After the meeting, the monk privately pulled Lin Luo to the small conference room, and also brought together people from his absolutely trustworthy inner circle such as Gong Ziyu and Fai Yutian.
At this time, relatively speaking, it is not as serious as a meeting.
Everyone can express their opinions without too many scruples, and some crucial secrets can only be told to each other.
"Yes, the three major factions in Ionia are very dangerous. I have received inside information that the Zhiyun Province Council has released a murderer who decided to secretly assassinate you, although I think it is almost impossible with your current strength.
Something happened, but you must pay attention to this matter."
"A murderer?"
Lin Luo frowned and suddenly thought of something:
"Is it the legendary hero's murderous maniac?"
"Exactly."
Lin Luo narrowed his eyes, then smiled coldly:
"Good guy, he actually hired a killer to kill me. It's so harmonious and balanced. I think this Zhiyun Province of Ionia is indeed not a good person. At least from this point of view, he is not a good person."
Lin Luo pondered for a while, and everyone looked at him, wanting to see what he had to say.
After a few minutes, Lin Luo said:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. As for the hero branch's camp, it should be on the same side as the Zhiyun Provincial Council, right?"
Everyone didn't understand what he wanted to say, so they just nodded and said:
"That's right."
Lin Luo said without hesitation:
"We have to find a way to get out. Immediately notify all the top leaders of the legion. From today on, the camp of the hero branch will move closer to the progressive camp. But don't expose your flaws, otherwise it will affect the development of the legion. As this matter develops slowly, I will think
We need to contact the parliament of Navoli Province, and there is a high probability that the entire legion base camp will have to move its position by then, maybe it will be moved to Navoli Province."
Everyone was shocked, and the poor monk even said:
"This is no joke!"
Lin Luo said lightly:
"Am I joking? This matter is the highest-level corps order issued by me as the commander of the headquarters army. Everyone must strictly implement it. As for the reason, I will not mention it for now. When the time is right, I will tell you."
These things were also the results of what he had just thought about for a few minutes.
First of all, he wanted to think about what kind of sect Zhiyun Province is. The thinking here was to think deeply, not superficially.
If Zhiyun Province is truly harmonious and balanced, then there is no doubt that the people in Zhiyun Province must be Buddhist and aloof from the world, because this is the tradition and nature of the ancient Ionians.
But just now, the poor monk suddenly said that he had received internal information that in order to eliminate himself as an enemy of the faction, the Zhiyun Province Council actually sent a murderer to assassinate him.
This behavior alone is completely contrary to the so-called harmony and balance.
Lin Luo immediately realized that Zhiyun Province was not as traditional as it appeared on the surface. Their methods were extremely vicious. Even just because of different factions, they would kill and eradicate a stranger who had just arrived. This method could be said to be cruel.
In addition to this, Lin Luo thought of another very crucial information!
Others don't know this information, because that's what Jace told him. It's still the same. Irelia was originally a staunch opponent, but for some reason, she suddenly became the staunchest progressive. There is no reason for this.
The reason is impossible to believe even if you beat me to death.
And this reason...
Lin Luo thought about it just now. It is very likely that it will appear in Zhiyun Province, and it may not even be just Zhiyun Province, but the rest of the provinces!
Zhiyun Province is currently facing a huge problem. A province that advocates traditional harmony and aloofness from the outside world suddenly wants to send a killer to kill itself.
Then there is a big problem inside this province.
Of course I don't know this issue myself, but it is obvious that it is definitely the reason for Irelia's sudden change of stance.
Even though they only met once, Lin Luo could still feel who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. Irelia was born with the wisdom of the new land, and she was a woman who could go to the battlefield to save Ionia at the age of fourteen.
Hero, she is absolutely determined to think about Ionia.
Since she has now become a progressive, it means that Ionia really needs progress now.
How can outsiders know the reason for this?
It's impossible for Lin Luo to know.
But he had something in mind. It was definitely not a good idea for the Zhiyun Provincial Council to send someone to kill him. From this point alone, he would not spare Zhiyun Province. It would also be difficult for the Hero Legion branch to handle conflicts in the future.
So before the conflict breaks out, quickly move to Navoli Province.
"But boss! The Parliament of Navoli Province does not agree to the entry of player legions at all. It is the central province of Ionia and has special significance. Players cannot establish legions there."
If possible, I will try my best to go to Navoli Province. The environment, upgrade area and various game resources there are much better than those in Zhiyun Province.
Unfortunately, the regional setting of Ionia means that players cannot establish legions in Navoli Province.
Just like Demacia, players cannot build a legion in the Demacia capital.
"Don't worry, leave this to me."
Lin Luo has experienced a lot now and understands that there are no rigid rules. In the final analysis, it is just that he does not have the ability to break the rules.
As long as the ability is strong enough, the power of the gods can be obtained, let alone establishing an army of players?
This time when he went to Navoli Province to find Irelia, he wanted to take him with him to solve this problem.
Don't be afraid that the other party won't agree. As long as the conditions you give are high enough, you can agree to anything.
"You guys prepare the relevant matters, I'm going to leave soon."
