Lin Luo was not sure whether the other party understood his purpose through what channels.
It may be the news from Zhiyun Province, or she may even know about the assassination of herself by the fortune teller Jin. After all, she is the spiritual leader of Ionia, and there is such a mysterious existence as Wanling.
It is not difficult for her to know the secrets that ordinary people cannot know. These abilities of hands and eyes are not difficult for her.
"Lin, I always speak directly to the point. It's not an offense, it's just my habit."
Irelia didn't say anything, but suddenly said this.
Lin Luo had a preliminary understanding of the other party's character and smiled:
"What a coincidence, I also like to open the skylight and speak frankly."
Irelia raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a smile:
"So when you come to Presidio as a guest on this trip, it's not just as simple as drinking a few sips of tea, right?"
Lin Luo nodded:
"Yes, I originally came to Ionia on the advice of a friend. I have something I want to ask your help for, but things seem to be getting more complicated. I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly in just a few words."
Irelia said:
"What a coincidence, I happened to make Shen Yun tea and talk slowly and carefully. I have enough time so I won't be afraid of dry mouth."
Lin Luo laughed dumbly, finding it very interesting, so she did not say anything, but picked up the blue and white porcelain tea set on the saucer, slowly poured a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully.
[Tip: You have tasted Presidio - the ancestral secret recipe of the Zan family - Shen Yun tea, and you have obtained the tea drinking buff: the magic damage you receive will be reduced by 20%, and the physical damage you receive will be reduced.
Ten percent, this effect lasts for one natural day.】
[Tip: This effect can continue to stack up to seven times. When the effect stacks up to seven layers, you can also get 5% of the attack's all-powerful blood-sucking effect. 】
Sure enough, every rare consumable in Ionia can add attributes. Lin Luo thought that if this thing could be taken out for players to use, it would be a rare and rare item. It has dual damage-free magic and physical properties. When the stack is full, it will also add additional attributes.
Five percent blood-sucking effect.
You must know that Lin Luo's current burst can reach hundreds of thousands per round, and his blood-sucking can directly amount to thousands, which is comparable to an intermediate blood-restoring spell.
"It's a pity that most people can't taste this."
Lin Luo realized that this thing can have stacking effects, so he tried it while drinking tea, and found that a full cup of tea would have exactly one layer of effects, which means that drinking seven cups in a row can stack up the buff, and then...
It can have a blood-sucking effect, which lasts for seven days. If there is any high-intensity war in the future, it will be a big improvement.
However, what Lin Luo didn't know was that it was nothing for him to drink two or three cups in one go. When he drank three or four cups in a row, Xiaolian, the maid next to him, began to round his eyes and looked at him with a shocked expression.
.
Even Irelia was stunned. Seeing Lin Luo drinking tea and water like a wolf and a tiger, she seemed to have suddenly refreshed her understanding of him in her heart.
But it's not over yet.
After four cups, there were five cups, and after five cups, there were six cups. It was not until Lin Luo finished seven cups of Shen Yun tea in one breath that he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he glanced around him. The maid Xiaolian was looking at him with a dull expression, and the corners of her mouth were even twitching. Irelia was also stunned, as if she had seen something incredible.
"...Is there something wrong with me?"
Lin Luo found that the atmosphere was a little awkward and realized that he seemed to be a little exaggerated.
The maid Xiaolian quickly came to her senses and waved her hands hesitantly;
"No, no, no! But Shen Yun tea is not drunk like this... Oh, no, tea cannot be drunk like this... Oh, no, it should be said that the tea ceremony in Ionia is not drunk like this..."
Only then did Lin Luo realize that his appearance just now might have caused the other party's worldview to collapse.
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"It's nothing. It may be due to cultural differences. This is how tea is drunk in my hometown. Drinking it in one gulp is a sign of respect for the host. If you drink seven cups in one gulp, it is seven times the respect!"
Lying to NPCs without drafting is a basic skill of a qualified player, and the other party has no way to prove it anyway.
"...Ah, so that's it."
Irelia and the maid Xiaolian looked at each other. It turned out to be a difference in customs.
They were completely stunned just now. After all, he is the largest family patron in Presidence, a scholarly family with thousands of years of culture. He has strictly learned these etiquette and customs since he was a child. Lin Luo's appearance just now seemed to them.
Incomprehensible.
Lin Luo made a casual excuse and brushed the matter off:
"Actually, it's because of the fragrant and full flavor of Shen Yun tea that I drank a few more cups. Let's talk about business."
When he finished speaking these words, Xiao Lian, the maid next to him, bowed with vigor and left, so there were only two people left in the lobby.
Irelia took a sip from the teacup and asked:
"You just said that you came to Ionia on the advice of a friend? Who is this friend? Why don't we start from here?"
Both parties probably understand in their hearts that each other has something to say and needs help from each other.
Lin Luo needs Irelia to provide clues to lift the curse of the gods, and Irelia needs his identity as a Piltover Councilor to strengthen the progressive faction.
But the other party turned the topic to Lin Luo and planned to start with him first.
Lin Luo smiled and said:
"I will keep this friend's name secret for now. Let me tell you my purpose first."
He said this after thinking about it, because he didn't know why Udyr left Ionia for the Freljord in the first place. Is it possible that he committed a crime and escaped? Is it possible that he was in Ionia?
Provoked an enemy?
Combined with the dragon scales of the Divine Dragon that the other party gave him before, and the gaps in the nine dragon scales he just saw on the Shenlong Ascension mural, all this is no coincidence.
Therefore, Lin Luo cannot speak directly about Udyr. He must first learn more about it and know the identity of the former through the discourse information before he can consider speaking out.
Irelia said:
"What's your purpose?"
Lin Luo looked around for a few times and said in a serious voice:
"I came to Presidence this time to ask you about a god. My friend told me that she once existed in Ionia."
When Irelia heard the word "god", her peaceful expression suddenly became confused, and she even looked at Lin Luo in confusion:
"Gods? Did you make a mistake? Ionia only has spirits, not gods."
Lin Luo shook his head:
"Listen to me. The god I'm talking about is called Soraka, the Child of the Stars. She did exist in Ionia, so I'm asking you about her whereabouts, and I'm just asking."
Irelia frowned. She didn't dare to talk nonsense about this matter, but she had many classical memories in her mind.
Something suddenly occurred to her:
"I seem to remember that there did seem to be a Son of the Stars in Ancient Ionia. She was also the Apocalypse at that time. However, after the Son of the Stars died, she disappeared in Ancient Ionia.
Ya, new stars returned to Mount Targon and haven't been back since."
Lin Luo suddenly frowned. He had learned about the protoss in Demacia and knew that the protoss was a title and identity. Each protoss was reincarnated and inherited by people from different regions and countries.
According to Irelia, there was a star child in ancient times who was reincarnated in Ionia, which shows that she did exist, but after the death of that star spirit, she returned to Targon. Now there is obviously a new one.
The Star Children Protoss, but no longer in Ionia.
This news made Lin Luo a little bit hard to bear. It took so much time and effort to run from Freljord to Ionia, but in the end the person just disappeared?
No, did God simply disappear?
Lin Luo couldn't accept it at all. Irelia obviously saw Lin Luo's situation. She said:
"You might as well explain why you are looking for gods."
Lin Luo sighed softly. He could only describe his experience in Freljord in a concise way. When he mentioned that he used the power of the gods to destroy the demon of destruction, Irelia seemed to be confused.
Showing an incredible expression.
"Unfortunately, using the power of gods comes at a cost. My strength and lifespan will continue to shrink, and the speed will become faster and faster, until one day I will be completely swallowed up... I heard that only the same power of gods can eliminate the curse.
That's why I went to Ionia."
Irelia suddenly realized:
"So you are looking for the original Child of the Stars, but unfortunately she is no longer here."
Lin Luo could only smile bitterly:
"Yes, if we really can't, we can only go to Mount Targon, which is obviously a more distant place."
There was no way he could let the curse of the gods continue, otherwise who could withstand losing one level in the next three days?
"Irelia, thank you for your hospitality, I must take my leave."
Lin Luo stood up and wanted to leave, but still had no desire to stay.
However, at this time Irelia suddenly stopped him:
"Wait a minute."
Irelia had no intention of letting Lin Luo leave, and her expression was calm:
"Although Ionia no longer has the Children of the Stars, it does not mean that Ionia cannot lift the curse of the gods. There is no need to leave in a hurry. I have already thought of a way to help you."
[Tip: You successfully activated the rare mission of Irelia, the spiritual leader of Presidence: the method about the curse of the gods.]
[Tip: Next, you must communicate carefully through your position and words and deeds, because this is related to the success of the task.]
Lin Luo's eyes lit up:
"This is true!"
Irelia said seriously:
"Removing the curse of the gods requires the same level of power. It is generally accepted that Ionia does not have gods, but it is also recognized that Ionia has divine dragons. If you can meet the divine dragon, the power of the divine dragon can easily resolve you.
The curse is definitely not a problem!"
Dragon?
Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly enlightened!
Yes, as long as they are at the god level, what is the difference between gods and dragons?
"But how do I meet the dragon?"
Lin Luo asked again, one can imagine the difficulty of something like this that exists in legends. There is an old saying that the divine dragon has its head but not its tail, which means that the dragon is extremely rare and cannot be encountered so easily.
"Don't be impatient, this is related to what we are going to say next."
Irelia motioned for Lin Luo to sit down, made a cup of tea for both parties, and said with a smile:
"You mentioned something about you just now. I already know it now and have probably thought of a solution. But don't worry, I have to talk about my matter too. There is no conflict between the two."
Lin Luo gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Speaking."
This time the two parties seemed to have changed their roles, from Lin Luo's expounder just now to Irelia's current expounder.
Irelia looked thoughtfully and said:
"Before talking about these things... I think you should know about the Noxus disaster in Ionia."
Lin Luo shrugged:
"I'm afraid no one knows about this world-famous war."
Irelia snorted, with some more memories in her eyes:
"Yes, when the tyrant came to the newly born land, the harmony of the ancient and peaceful land was broken. People really saw the cruelty of this world, the power of the army, the mysterious and progressive countries, and the division of Ionia.
From this moment on, some people advocate progress, some oppose progress, and some are indifferent..."
She suddenly raised her head and her eyes became a little sharp:
"Actually, a long time ago, I was also a staunch opponent. The tyrant destroyed the land. We must reunite to maintain the peace and purity of ancient Ionia. But this concept changed not long ago..."
When Lin Luo heard this, his heart moved. So the answer to the mystery can finally be revealed. The fundamental reason why Irelia changed from an opposition to a progressive?
Irelia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her face was not good-looking, as if she had remembered something terrible. When she opened her eyes again, her voice even trembled. This made Lin Luo feel trembling. This meant something
The truth is so terrifying that even Irelia is afraid.
"Ordinary people cannot see this kind of change."
Irelia's tone was heavy:
"But you know, the most common people in the world are ordinary people, and this is certainly the case in Ionia."
Lin Luo didn't quite understand what she meant by this, but when she thought about it carefully, she guessed something.
There are two worlds in Ionia. Ordinary people can see the material world with their naked eyes, but they cannot see the spiritual world. So the other person is obviously talking about the spiritual world.
Lin Luo said in a deep voice:
"You mean something happened to the spiritual world of Ionia?"
His guess was correct, Irelia nodded and said:
"Yes, the boundary between the spiritual world of Ionia and the material world is very small. All the powers of the spiritual world of Ionia can easily affect people and things in the material world. Unfortunately, not everyone can see this.
"
She sighed:
"Looking at the whole of Ionia, there are not many beings who can truly communicate or even enter the spiritual world. Only the masters of the ancient traditional temples, monasteries, and sword fields can do it. And I am precisely because I have seen the spiritual world.
That’s why we officially decided to change from opposition to progressive.”
Lin Luo became more and more curious. He knew that the other party was the innate wisdom of Ionia. She could communicate with the spiritual world and even enter the spiritual world since she was born, so she could see things that others could not see.
So now it is said that she changed her position precisely because she saw something that ordinary people could not see.
Lin Luo said in a deep voice:
"So what has changed in the spiritual world? Or is there some big trouble?"
