"That's all this shell man named Fuzenaia told me."
Sindra sat down around the campfire, feeling a little more hesitant.
"Teacher, otherwise we'd better not go down. Anyway, we can deal with those shell men with the Hex weapons in our hands. We don't need to take such risks."
Staring at the blazing flames, Lester did not speak, and Syndra couldn't help but feel even more worried.
"teacher?"
"Syndra, this is a rare opportunity, an opportunity to explore secrets."
Lester's eyes were deep and distant, reflecting the future that Syndra couldn't see clearly in the firelight.
"What is the ancient will guarded by the Shell people and what can it bring to us? The answers to these can be found here. This is a secret comparable to the world's runes. We... I must not give up this opportunity. If it's because of
If I cower here in fear, all my efforts will be in vain.
In this world, except for your loved ones who love you the most, there is no reward that can be obtained without any risk, and what Fuzenaia said may not be alarmist, but may just be to scare us away."
Lester's words were well founded. Sindra lowered her head and recalled the hardships along the way. The girl strengthened her faith again.
"Lester, no matter what, I support your choice."
"Why don't you call me teacher this time?"
"Because the person who made the decision this time was not a student who blindly believed in the teacher."
The man who heard the implication paused, then smiled silently.
After taking a break, the coalition forces continued to move deeper. By the fifth month, it took the logistics force half a month to transport survival supplies to the outpost.
Regarding the subsequent energy crystal mining plan, both the Feros family and the Emerald Territory have focused their attention on the exploration of the Crystal Trace Canyon.
As more and more crystal spiers appeared in the cave, Lester knew that he was getting closer to the secret of the Shell people.
Finally, during a directional blasting, everyone came to a dreamlike crystal world.
The passage with a wide view is illuminated by quartz that exudes pale fluorescence. The dark brown rocks are transformed into a dazzling wall of crystals. Various crystal clusters are connected to each other like spider webs, forming a beautiful
Crystal World.
"Oh my God, it turns out that this is the real [Crystal Trace]. Is this paradise?"
"If these beautiful quartz and crystals could be harvested using equipment, wouldn't Piltover's crystal market collapse completely?"
"I heard that crystal is a natural magic material and is most suitable for making wands and energy-storing magic stones. I don't know if it's true or not."
"No matter what, the crystal veins here will eventually be a huge fortune. Even if we just drink soup behind the Emerald Leader, we can make a fortune..."
There were various discussions behind him, and Lester frowned and turned to look at everyone. Unlike before, the coalition forces now seemed to be affected by something, and their mood became irritable.
【Are you affected by the crystal? 】
"Teacher, something doesn't seem right with them."
At the same time, Syndra, who was following Lester, also stood on tiptoes, leaned in and whispered in Lester's ear.
Nodding, Lester gave instructions to Lloyd and Cliff, who looked a little confused.
"Crystals will have unknown effects on ordinary people. You two lead people to guard outside. If I don't come out for a month, seal this entrance with a bomb and never send anyone in again. Do you understand?"
The two of them suddenly looked at each other and understood why they felt dizzy.
"Lord Leicester, then you and Miss Sindra..."
Shaking his head, Lester said in a deep voice.
"Sindra and I will be fine. If we encounter danger, we will find other exits."
"Understood, Lord Leicester, then we will retreat first."
When the coalition forces withdrew from the Crystal World, Lester looked at Syndra.
"Follow me closely and don't leave even one step."
Taking a deep breath, Syndra hugged the staff tightly.
"good."
I don't know if it is a natural passage or a road dug by the shell people. A crystal road gradually spreads downward. Walking on the crystal road, Lester can clearly feel that there is a strange sound wave coming from all directions.
This kind of sound wave seems to come from the vast outer space, and is also like a visual sound transformed from the electromagnetic wave emitted by the planet. Sometimes it is breathtaking, sometimes it is weird and ethereal, and it is like opening the door to hell.
Combined with the crystal wall whose color tone turned into a dark starry sky curtain, Lester completely lost his sense of direction and space and even had a terrifying feeling that he was walking in the universe and gradually entering death.
Even a veteran like him couldn't bear this feeling. Lester finally stopped and took Syndra's little hand.
In this weird environment, he had confidence in himself, but he didn't want Syndra to be in any danger.
"Syndra, can you hear me?"
"Teacher, I can hear your voice, and I can also hear another voice... This voice is so noisy and nice... What is this voice?"
Syndra turned her head, her eyes were shining with dazzling light like colorful crystals. Lester was shocked and grabbed Syndra without hesitation and ran back.
Unfortunately, the road we came from has disappeared at some point, and there is only one road that continues downward to the starry sky, waiting for Lester to continue moving forward.
"Lester, don't leave me, okay? I'm so scared. Without Lester, I will definitely get lost."
Syndra suddenly looked pitiful and held Lester's hand tightly.
"It's impossible to go back, and it's impossible for me to leave Syndra here alone... Haha, Crystal Will is a bit interesting."
After taking a look at the Starry Sky Road, Lester took Syndra into his arms and hugged her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't be afraid, I am by your side, no matter what happens, we will face it together."
The girl being held by Leicester showed a reassuring smile, and except for her eyes that were glowing with color, she was no different from usual.
"Hmm~"
The two people who continued to move forward did not know how long they walked. The crystal road under their feet had completely disappeared. The crystal world had completely transformed into a star world. An extremely complex star tower appeared in front of Lester.
The endless Tower of Stars spreads all the way to the depths of the starry sky. The entire Tower of Stars is composed of stars that are within reach. Each star is full of lively atmosphere and strong vitality. Suddenly, Lester saw such a sight.
Spider webs generally connect the crystal threads of each star.
Install the latest version.]
It is this thin line that connects every scattered star together to form the beautiful Tower of Stars.
"Close your eyes and don't look at this."
Standing in front of the Tower of Stars, Lester hugged the frightened Syndra tightly. After the girl buried her head in his arms, he gently patted the girl's back to calm the girl's panic.
The overly bizarre and bizarre world in front of him was not something that Syndra could handle with his current experience, and even he had to deal with it carefully.
"The ancient will guarded by the Shell people, it is not easy to find you. I wonder if you would like to say a few words to me?"
Lester squinted his eyes and looked at the Tower of Stars. Even in the arcane vision, the scenery in front of him was so weird that he couldn't tell whether it was real or illusory.
"Reality or illusion, what does it mean to you? You will ultimately achieve your goal by hurting me, visitor from another world, Lester Lee."
The sound emitted by the Star Tower is not any kind of language at all, but more like a special electromagnetic wave that goes straight into the human heart.
Lester was not only surprised by this efficient communication method that directly echoed in the sea of consciousness, but also by this interpretation method that seemed like mind reading.
Being exposed by the ghost in front of him, Lester sighed softly and emptied his mind for a moment. Even if he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't believe that the Tower of Stars in front of him could understand him better than he did.
This method was once used to deal with LeBlanc who might have mind-reading magic, but now he is returning to his old profession to deal with unknown existences.
"Can you still hear my inner thoughts now?"
There was an obvious pause, and Star Tower gave feedback.
"I already knew everything about you when we met. There is no point in hiding it now. Lester, there is no need for you to play tricks in front of an ancient stalwart."
Regarding Star Tower's statement, Lester sneered.
"If you think you can control me like this, you are underestimating me... Syndra, prepare to attack, use your full strength to attack everything in front of you, tear this illusory crystal world to pieces, and let this pretender
Guys know how good we are."
"Hmm~"
Syndra opened her eyes, raised her staff and prepared to cast a spell, but the ethereal and strange voice appeared again, with a bit more urgency than before.
"Wait, stop it first, Lester, there is no need for us to be enemies."
Syndra paused and looked at Lester hesitantly. When Lester nodded, the girl put down her staff, retracted into the man's arms and closed her eyes, as obediently as a kitten.
Very satisfied with the baby of mass destruction in his arms, Lester said coldly.
"Hidden guy, if you know how to communicate and talk with others, why should I do this? I don't even know what you are now."
This time the unknown existence did not pretend to be mysterious.
"As you know, I created the Shell people, and you can call me Crystal Will."
"This is the way to make friends, crystal will. If I'm right, this is where the Shell people buried energy crystals, right?
Don't try to lie, I know that after so many shell people have died and so many crystals have been lost, your strength has been severely damaged, otherwise you wouldn't be making excuses here and telling me so much useless nonsense."
After a long moment of silence, Crystal Will continued.
"You're right, I was indeed hit hard,
This is indeed the place where the shell people bury their souls. The energy crystals of every dead shell person will be dug up and buried here by other shell people. When a new shell person is born, they can return here to dig out their own energy again.
Crystals pass on past experiences and memories.”
Smiling noncommittally, Lester spoke.
"This is a good way to live forever. In this way, every shell human is actually a part of yourself. So the question is, how big is your ambition to create a shell human to share your own strength and soul?
?”
"If you are willing to stop, I am willing to share my knowledge with you, give up the Crystal Trace, and return the life crystal you plundered. I can share the real ancient wisdom with you."
As the Crystal Will spoke, it was Lester's turn to be silent this time.
As an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years, Lester has been walking in Runeterra for so many years. Combined with the advantage of knowing most of the story backgrounds, Runeterra has become a little girl without any privacy or secrets for him.
There is no doubt that the leader of the Shell Tribe, the Crystal Will, is the absolute secret of Runeterra. Strictly speaking, it is even more mysterious than the World Runes.
To be honest, he is personally very interested in the ancient knowledge held by the Crystal Will, which may involve the secret of the continuation of a great race.
Why did the Crystal Will create the Shell People and continue life in the way of the Shell People? How did the Crystal Will divide its soul and power into so many energy crystals to create new life in the form of energy crystals?
Lester had a hunch that the Crystal Will might be hiding a shocking secret in doing so, not to mention that the Crystal Will itself was a secret.
"You clearly know that there is no way I can agree to such a condition."
Sighing, Lester looked at the Crystal Will.
"As you can see, I am a greedy robber. I kill shell people and plunder crystals just to strengthen myself. Why do you think I will give up the benefits I have gained for inexplicable knowledge and secrets?
The shell crystal can help me do many things. If used properly, it can easily change the war situation on the mainland. Unfortunately, I will not agree to such conditions.
Rather than talking about this kind of transaction that is impossible to happen, you might as well come up with a more reliable exchange condition and let me know what I can get in advance. Maybe if my heart is moved, it will change, and maybe we can reach a united front with you.
.”
There was silence for a while, and when Lester was getting a little impatient, Crystal Will finally responded.
"You're right. It's really impossible for you to give up the benefits you've gained. After thinking about it, maybe we can really become collaborators instead of enemies."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"The purpose of your attack on the Crystal Trace is to get the energy crystals of the Shell people. You want to get more. Is that right?"
Nodding, Lester also became interested.
"That's right, I'm here just for the crystal."
"...I can provide you with crystals, but they are not from the Shell people, but are companions of the crystals. The life energy is only slightly weaker than the crystals. Perhaps starting from this point, we can become collaborators."
