He deliberately wanted to use magic to destroy the stone platform to prevent the Demacians who went deep here from learning about this unknown past and the truth about the Forbidden Stone Forest. He even began to investigate the location of the runes under the stone platform. Ryze thought, however, that it was unbearable for him to be in such an extremely magical environment. For ordinary collectors in Demacia, it would be impossible to go deep into the center of the stone forest.
What's more, for the Demacians who revere the Forbidden Stone Forest, trespassing into the depths of the forbidden area is a capital offense.
"No wonder there are no guards at all within the stone forest, and the collectors are only active on the periphery... This may be the reason why you can continue."
In the end, Ryze gave up the idea of destroying the stone platform and retained the last glimmer of the lost civilization.
Placing his right hand on the ground covered with dead leaves, Ryze held the rune in his left hand, sensing the underground cavity deep underground through arcane energy.
"There is a huge cavity about three hundred meters underground. It may be the remains of the lost civilization and the location of the runes."
Standing up, Ryze no longer hesitated, the alienation runes on his body began to flash, and the mage directly activated the arcane teleportation.
The light blue spots slowly dissipated, and Ryze disappeared in front of the stone platform and went directly to the depths of the underground, into a jagged and strange rock cave covering an area of several hundred square meters.
Several beautiful fluorites emitting strange white light spiraled upward around thick roots, dispelling the darkness in the cave.
The twisted white Forbidden Stone Forest's root system is complex and huge, and the hard mountain surrounds and covers the entire underground cavity. The strange thing is that although there is no way to connect to the ground, there is no lack of oxygen in the cavity. It seems that the Forbidden Stone Forest The roots themselves release oxygen.
After walking dozens of steps, Ruiz came to the center. On the relatively flat gray stone, five white square tree pillars with hollows appeared in front of him. Among the thickest roots of the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest, Ruiz I felt a strong runic resonance.
By cutting off the arcane supply, the runes in his hand that resonated continuously lost some of his enthusiasm. Ryze looked at the spectacle in front of him with some confusion.
"Why five cavities, not four or six? This is definitely not a naturally formed place, but an underground temple deliberately built by the dynasty that cast the stone platform to preserve the rune stones. In other words, this dynasty Ever obtained five runes? If that's the case, it's strange that a dynasty with so many runes didn't turn Demacia into a broken continent."
Caressing the original rhizome wrapped with another rune fragment, Ryze was extremely certain that it was the runes in the rhizome that led to the birth of the Forbidden Demonic Stone Forest, transforming ordinary trees into the Forbidden Demonic Stone Forest with the ability to absorb and store magic power.
"The original tree roots born from the runes have the effect of confining and blocking the power of the runes. The runes are imprisoned through the runes. Such great wisdom is definitely not available to others. Why have I never heard of such a person in the Demacia Plains? Brilliant civilization?”
After thinking about it, Ryze placed the blue rune that was homologous to the Forbidden Stone Forest against the surface of the rhizome. A strange scene appeared. He sensed that the rhizome of the rune spontaneously stretched out, revealing the hidden part of the rhizome.
Another piece of runes deeper, the runes in the roots of the tree are also green-blue.
Taking a deep breath, Ryze put the rune in his hand.
"Buzz..."
The two rune fragments merged directly at the moment of contact. Before the powerful rune power could spread, it was completely absorbed and decomposed into its own nutrients by the roots of the Forbidden Stone Forest. As Ryze withdrew his hand, the tree roots twisted again.
Together they become a tight body, locking the runes firmly in the roots of the tree.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the five root cavities behind him again. Ruiz felt a little more enlightened.
He took out a green round rune the size of a finger from the rune scroll behind him. Resisting the temptation, Ryze came to a shield-shaped cavity and carefully put the rune into it.
Before the rune escaped from the suppression of the body, it was imprisoned and suppressed by the tree roots before it could become a demon. The flickering green light also disappeared. The rune that entered the cavity of the tree seemed to have turned into an ordinary stone, lost.
regained its original powerful ability.
Reaching out again, Ryze took out the rune again. The rune that had left the tree cavity regained its previous mysterious light, and even the seductive and depraved whispers had a bit more of a pleading tone.
"It seems that my guess is correct. This is the place where the runes are stored."
Having come to this conclusion, Ryze also had a rare smile on his face. This way, his burden would be much lighter.
By imprisoning and sealing the excess runes here through fusion, the rune scroll can free up space and find a temporary home for the newly collected rune fragments. Wait until the rune scroll is about to reach the storage limit, and then move the rune scroll to the storage limit.
With the runes placed here, there is no need to consider burying dangerous runes in some deserted place.
"There should be no risk if you store runes here. Unless you are like me, your body has been alienated by runes, you are not affected by the Forbidden Stone Forest, and you are an arcane mage who knows how to teleport through space. Only ordinary people and
Ordinary mages will be severely suppressed when they come to the depths of the Forbidden Stone Forest, let alone find a place as deep as a hundred meters. I can safely place the runes here."
Having made a decision, Ryze quickly took out the other two runes collected in the rune scroll.
One is a cone-shaped red rune, and the other is a dark purple rune, both of which are only small pieces. The purple rune has been fused once, one fragment came from Master Tyrus, and the other fragment was found in Dalmo Plains.
a barbarian tribe,
The green rune that has been placed in the shield-shaped slot was found in a village in the Gorel Mountains in northwest Noxus.
The red rune was snatched from the hands of a sand pirate organization in the Shurima continent.
The blue runes were found in the stone trough of Nelzayag in the Freljord, and have now been merged with the runes in the roots of the original tree.
Since killing his master twenty-three years ago, Ryze has only collected so many rune fragments.
While pondering, the thought of corruption in his mind became more and more profound. Ryze no longer hesitated, put the dark purple rune in his hand into the empty slot, and put the red rune in his hand back into the rune scroll.
The whispers dispersed. Even Ryze, who had experienced hundreds of battles, sometimes found it difficult to resist the temptation of runes.
The reason why the red runes were not put into the empty slots for storage is because there is another red rune fragment exposed in the east of Demacia. The runes resonate through arcane magic, and Ryze can quickly lock on the red runes.
The location of the runes, and the fragments are recovered.
After finishing the matter and confirming that no accidents would occur in this secret location, Ryze left the underground Rune Temple again through arcane teleportation through the runes inscribed on his body surface, and returned to the stone platform in the Forbidden Stone Forest.
Taking a deep breath, the wandering mage put on his hood again, carried the rune scroll behind him, and embarked on the lonely road of atonement.
Finding another fragment that resonates with the red rune is his next goal.
