Under the special governance of the Noxus Empire, the Icathia Peninsula in the southeastern part of the Shurima continent is gradually glowing with unique vitality.
Although the main color of the surface is still the very scary gray and black purple from before, many pink and purple plants grow on the rugged and barren mountainous land.
These beautiful plants will moderately propagate and expand themselves under the influence of special magic, subtly changing the harsh ecological environment of the Icathia Peninsula and transforming the ecological environment of the peninsula into a place of life.
Similar to the algae that improve the planet's environment through photosynthesis, these pink-purple plants unique to the Icathia Peninsula are not creations of the void in the true sense, and are beneficial and harmless to life.
In the Ecological Research Department of the Noxus Empire, this kind of artificial plant with certain void characteristics is called 'Void Plant'.
Of course, considering the dangerous characteristics of 'disorder' and 'expansion' inherent in the void itself,
In order to ensure that the 'virtual plants' do not get out of control, every virtual plant will ensure that at least one natural enemy magic can suppress it or even cause it to self-destruct at the beginning of its creation.
In the process of further nurturing and differentiation, researchers will also enhance its stability and suppress its variability to ensure that the inhibitory magic can maintain its special effect.
Once it is confirmed that the virtual plants have gained resistance to suppressive magic through mutation, the imperial mages will immediately radiate suppressive magic through magic monuments throughout the peninsula, and use suppressive magic to carry out a large-scale attack on the virtual plants in the outside world that have not yet completed the mutation.
mass extinction,
Considering the harsh environment of the Icathia Peninsula where no grass can grow, the mass extinction will not make the environment of the Icathia Peninsula even worse. With the assistance of the Void Queen Belvis, different varieties of voids are once again cultivated through special induction magic.
It is not difficult to find world plants.
Generally speaking, the Noxus Empire is planning to transform the Icathia Peninsula according to local conditions until the Icathia Peninsula becomes a new habitable place. As for the artificial animals and plants born in the transformed environment, it is an additional reward.
An experiment with certain risks is always better than just abandoning the entire peninsula with nothing to do.
A shadow as fast as lightning passed from high in the sky, and the man looked down at the giant white magic city gate that separated the Icathia Peninsula and Khalisay.
As the most important part of the Icathia Peninsula transformation plan, the [Icathia Gate] was jointly forged by imperial mages. The city is more than thirty meters high, and the thickest part of the city wall is five meters. The solid foundation is enough to bear the weight of the city wall.
The overall material is made of Demacian forbidden magic stone tree powder and special cement poured through magic.
The Gate of Icathia, which spans millions of miles, does not require regular soldiers to be stationed. We have tried our best to streamline the personnel and achieve 'unmanned control'.
Every ten kilometers, a magic star monument that is incorporated into the magic network is built on the city wall. Every hundred kilometers, a war magic tower is built for imperial mages to live and study magic.
If necessary, the Imperial Mage can control the magic star monument to defend or attack the intruder. Even if someone blocks the teleportation magic, the Icathia Gate can receive timely support from the Imperial Mage Headquarters through the Hextech Flying Gate.
,
It is absolutely impossible to break through such a formidable pass through conventional means, which is why the empire can confidently and boldly carry out things on the Icathia Peninsula.
After passing through the Gate of Icathia, Lester flew all the way south. It wasn't that he couldn't reach his destination directly through magical teleportation.
As the person in charge who single-handedly promoted the [Icathia Peninsula Transformation Plan], although he was a hands-off boss, he was not so careless as to ignore everything and leave everything to his subordinates.
For him now, even the Icathia Peninsula, where magic elements are chaotic, cannot have any impact on his detection magic.
Just like the divine will in a novel about cultivating immortals, the detection magic sweeps across thousands of miles in an instant. It is enough to determine the situation of the entire Icathia Peninsula all the way. If there is anything that needs to be checked and filled, it can be quickly discovered.
The number of magic star monuments, their corresponding locations, the influence of virtual plants on the ecological environment, and the special residential areas for ecological researchers that exist every certain distance.
It is definitely a big project to monitor the entire Icathia Peninsula through the magic network. If the location of the star monument is slightly biased and misses some places, what if the area where the star monument is located happens to have evil mutations but is not monitored in time?
And deal with it, the consequences will be very serious.
What made him feel gratified was that during this flight, he did not find any problems on the Icathia Peninsula, at least no fundamental mistakes that could be seen at a glance.
In terms of architectural structure, or in the casting process of military buildings, the Noxians have never cheated, and their level of rigor is comparable to that of the Germans during World War II.
After confirming that there were no major problems that could be seen at a glance, Lester used teleportation magic to go directly to the center of the Icathia Peninsula.
This plain surrounded by mountain peaks is the ruins of the former capital of the Kingdom of Icathia, the former void lair, and now the main area of the Noxus Empire's Icathia Peninsula transformation plan.
The same material as the Gate of Icathia, the building materials of the main camp area are also special cement mixed with forbidden magic stone powder.
After a large number of scientific experiments, the Empire has proven that the Forbidden Stone Tree Powder, which was born under the influence of the world's runes, can effectively resist the erosion of void energy. When mixed with the Noxus Empire's special cement, its hardness is strong enough to resist the erosion of void energy.
Low-level void creatures such as void brood worms.
Passing through the heavily guarded magic defense tower, Lester walked into the magic laboratory under the salute of the imperial mages and the elite expeditionary force.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, a three-fingered muscular man wearing a hat turned around, and the seven frightening eyes on his face focused on Lester's face at the same time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The next moment, seven eyes lit up at the same time, and the short man jumped towards Lester and hugged him.
"My dear friend, long time no see!"
After a firm hug with Jax, Lester patted Jax's back muscles that were as hard as cast iron. After Jax let out a satisfied laugh, the two big muscle tyrants were still not satisfied.
let go of each other.
"Master Jax, shall we have a drink tonight?"
Jax grinned,
"Of course! You can't leave without drinking me down."
"Then I won't be able to leave?"
"Hey, I know you are a busy person, so I won't embarrass you.
Well, you must be here to talk to Master Jilan this time. It just so happens that I also have something to say to Master Jilan. You take me with you. In this case, we can have a drink and have a fight, which will be considered a celebration.
We meet again."
Few people in Runeterra dare to talk to Lester like this, let alone a man. Jax counts as one, Ryze counts as one, and Kled, the violent yordle dwarf, counts as one.
But Lester also likes his old friend to be so "no bigger" than him.
First of all, he is not an emperor in the traditional sense, and these friends of his are not friends in the traditional sense. They are all old people. Who can pretend to be an elephant with two green onions stuck in their nostrils?
Secondly, he does not need to rely on the fear of others to maintain his majesty and status.
"No problem, if you need anything, tell me directly."
Jax grinned from ear to ear.
"Don't worry, we are all brothers who have died. If anything happens to me, I will definitely involve you. I'm afraid you will dislike me then."
Lester rolled his eyes.
"If it's really such a mess, I will definitely despise you."
The two looked at each other and laughed. The man's fool-like laughter made the fortress that could not be breached by void creatures tremble three times.
Wearing a white coat, a pair of intellectual glasses, and a fair-skinned female researcher with beautiful purple hair, she turned around, pushed the frame of the glasses with her index finger, and looked at the two men who were influencing her experiment with an expressionless face.
"I said, even if you don't take me as a person, you don't need to reminisce about old friendships in the laboratory, right? Is it for myself that I'm doing research day and night?"
Lester looked at the female researcher with a surprised look on his face, his tone rising an octave higher.
"Belvis?"
The female researcher nodded, her expression solemn.
"It doesn't look stupid either."
After carefully looking at Researcher Yujie from top to bottom, who was no different from a normal woman, Lester took a breath of air.
He didn't sense the void breath in Beilvis' body just now.
After not seeing each other for a while, this woman seemed to be a little more troublesome.
The man frowned.
"How did you become like this?"
Pelvis remained expressionless.
"Why do you think it is? We agreed to use my opinions to transform the Icathiya Peninsula.
After all, I was the Queen of the New Void, but after I came here, I couldn’t do this or that. I had to carefully scratch people’s jungle monkeys from Ixtar to do an experiment. I almost forgot that this was in Novo.
On the territory of Texas, why else would there be living saints wandering around here and there?
Fuck you, if nothing else works, just let me do the dirty work.
You, a big shot, draw rules and regulations for me. What can I, a little slave girl with no strength, do?
Why don't we just have fun and obey? Thanks to you, I am now very interested in void biology. The Queen of the Void is no longer good, so I can only be a female researcher of the void.
For the sake of me, Belvis, who is dedicated to serving the country, you two adults, it’s okay to reminisce about old friendships, but please get out of my laboratory, okay?”
Lester and Jax looked at each other, and the two men who could lift the Queen of the Void up and whip her with one finger actually left the laboratory in dejection.
After leaving the laboratory, Lester was still a little frightened.
Just kidding, even when I was fighting Belvis in the form of a giant manta ray, I didn't feel as oppressive as I do now, right? Could it be that an experiment can really destroy a person like this?
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
When asked by Lester, Jax froze on the spot and smacked his palm hard with a look of regret on his face.
"I forgot, I came here to ask for my lamp stick from Pelvis. She has been borrowing it for more than a month, and I can't even leave the house.
I'll go back."
After that, Jax returned to the laboratory again.
Lester understood that it was not that Jax had no other weapons to use without the light stick. The most important thing was the eternal flame in the light stick.
As the natural nemesis of void energy, Eternal Flame can greatly enhance Jax's own strength and bring positive effects to Jax's void body. It can be understood as 'fighting fire with fire'.
This can be regarded as a miracle belonging to Jax himself. After all, if it were any other void creature, let alone walking around and fighting with a light stick all day long, even if it was any closer, it would be burned into inorganic salts.
Within a minute, Jax came out again, carrying the light stick that he rarely left his hand with.
"Shall we go have a drink now? Or go directly to Master Kiran?"
Jax spoke with a hint of temptation.
"Let's have a drink first. It's not a big deal to delay for a day. It's rare for us to have time to get together, and I haven't moved my muscles for a long time. I want to learn from you what martial arts skills you have created during this time. Don't hide it.
Tuck it in."
"I knew the light stick was not in vain!"
Jax immediately smiled with joy, took out a metal mask from the warrior's robe and put it on his face, covering his appearance so as not to scare others.
"This time it's my treat. I'll decide the place?"
"good!"
Without saying a word, Lester used the teleportation array to take Jax directly to the Placidium in Ionia.
It was the middle of winter, and the cloud forest in Presidio was bleak and dim. In the eyes of the two of them, this cloud forest was very warm and pleasant, and it was a good place for a fight.
Recalling the past, Lester raised a smile on his lips, took out a gourd of strong liquor from the magic space and threw it over.
"Drink first!"
Jax put one foot on the ground, crossed the other leg, and used the near hand end of the lamp stick to pick up the red rope of the wine gourd.
The red rope slid all the way down the lamp stick. With a flick of Jax's finger, the stopper of the wine gourd was removed. The wine turned into a steady trickle and flowed into Jax's mouth. In just a few breaths, the wine gourd was half empty.
“Good wine!”
With a swing of the lamp stick, the uncorked wine gourd turned into a cannonball and hit Leicester.
Lester reached out his right hand to catch the wine gourd. He took off the momentum without leaking any wine. He took a big sip into his mouth and drank the wine in one gulp.
The empty wine gourd was thrown back to Jax, but Jax slapped it into pieces.
Lester took out an ordinary cast steel spear and held it in his hand, pointing the gun pointed directly at Jax.
"Please advise."
Jax grinned.
"Come on, have a good fight!"
This battle lasted a whole day and night,
Not for the purpose of deciding the winner, but for the purpose of fighting back and forth. After they were satisfied, the two of them reached a level of "drunkness" that they could never achieve with alcohol.
Because Lester used magic to protect Yunlin in advance, and both of them were weapon masters, the battle between the two did not affect the surrounding environment. The stormy battle frightened many passersby.
The Presidio.
"I'm so excited!"
Amidst Jax's satisfied laughter, the two left Yunlin and returned to the Icathia Peninsula.
This time, Lester and Jax went directly to the time anomaly area of the Icathia Peninsula.
