South of the Dasai Desert and north of the Kohar Lijiang River, a hundred-kilometer-long chain of mountains blocks the southward path of the wind and sand, as if split open by a sword from the gods. The winding mountains are cut off from it, forming a criss-cross
The 'V' shaped deep valley is exactly the Wind Howling Canyon.
Howling Wind Canyon is also called "Ghost Gate Gorge" or "Man-Eating Valley" by the local Shuriman people who are frightened and frightened.
Outside the valley, there are many peaks and mountains, splitting the ground and skyscrapers; on the side of the valley, there are rugged and majestic mountains; inside the valley, there are twists and turns, with twists and turns. The deepest and weirdest place is not wide enough to be filled with meters, and is as narrow as a dark alley, with no sky visible when looking up, and the day is like night.
Like a maze.
The blood-soaked dark red valley road is barren of grass, and there are piles of human and animal bones. Coupled with the howling sound of the wind, which is like the howling of ghosts and gods, it is even more desolate and bone-chilling, quiet and profound, and it is truly terrifying.
As a natural defense against wind and sand erosion, the Howling Canyon, home to many ferocious birds and beasts, has always been a restricted area for Shurima scavengers and shepherds.
Facing the thousand-foot-high Wanren Ridge with many terrifying rumors, only the most experienced hunters dare to venture outside the canyon. No matter how much money is given, no one will go deep into the forbidden ground of the canyon day and night.
To the uncanny craftsmanship that is far more terrifying than the ferocious birds and beasts.
Only the Kohari River rushing from the Sea of Watchers dared to go deep into the valley and surge westward. The rushing river that stretched for thousands of miles submerged into the valley, and then flowed out like thunder from the mouth of the valley thousands of miles away. For thousands of years, no one knew where the river was.
How to penetrate the Jiuqu ileum of Guimen Gorge.
Under the gaze of several ferocious vultures, a young man with a dusty life looked up at the jagged rocks not far away. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall various legends circulating in the city of Malvi. He couldn't help but swallow dryly.
Tighten the backpack and hold dry food and water bladders.
According to his teacher Satya, the Fortress of Light was built in the Wind Howling Canyon. He had never seen the Wind Howling Canyon with his own eyes before. He didn't take those outrageous legends seriously. Now he was just standing outside the canyon.
I could already feel the chill that was hidden in the canyon.
It was as if a greedy eye was staring at him, even though he was preparing to take away his body.
After this meal, the active young man will inevitably have other ideas.
"Save the food in my bag to last for a week, but the question is, can I find the Fortress of Light in the canyon within a week? If I can't find the Fortress of Light, won't I have to starve to death in a canyon with no vegetation?"
Moreover, why did the Light Sentinel build a stronghold in such a barren and dangerous place? Even if there are only a dozen people living in the Light Fortress, the daily food consumption is probably an extremely huge number.
Weicheng transportation also has to make several trips a year, and there are herdsmen and scavengers wandering outside the valley, so it is impossible to hide them from others.
If this is the case, why have there never been any other rumors in Malvi City?"
Akshan, whose thoughts were gradually diverging, seemed to have thought of something crucial, his expression was suddenly startled, and he clapped his hands vigorously.
"Wait a minute, do you mean that the people in the Fortress of Light are simply self-sufficient? Keharijiang, Keharijiang... yes, how can there really be no grass growing in the living river of Keharijiang?
Thinking about it this way, I will definitely be able to find clues about the Fortress of Light by searching along the Kohar Lijiang River. No wonder Satya is sure that I can find the location of the Fortress of Light.
It would be better to say that as long as we can confirm that there are a group of people living in the Wind Howling Canyon, we can associate it with the Kohar Lijiang River and then find the location of the Bright Fortress. I am afraid that the Bright Fortress has another secret passage in and out of the canyon, not at the mouth of the valley...
I just don’t know what the holy artifact that Satya said the Fortress of Light is guarding actually makes those light sentinels prefer to stay in the lonely canyon to stay away from human beings.”
With some confidence in his heart, Akshan no longer hesitated and entered the valley alone.
…
Four days passed in a blink of an eye. In the main hall of the fortress built against the mountain, Akshan, who was clean but very tired, successfully met the target person that Satya asked him to find.
The man has brown hair and beard that are as straight as steel needles. He is two meters tall and as strong as an ox. He looks about forty years old. He is wearing silver plate armor and looks like he weighs a hundred kilograms. He holds a holy weapon in his left hand.
Shi Hui Dun, holding a double-edged sword in one hand in his right hand, which ordinary people need to hold with both hands, slashes in the air. Every move exudes suffocating pressure.
The man in front of him was none other than Douglas, the general guard of the Fortress of Light, a ten-tenths Noxian tough guy.
"Boy, it seems that you are what Lone Wolf calls a good prospect. Before you speak, let me see what you are capable of."
His eyes fell on Akshan's left hand for a moment, and Douglas recognized the identity of the person. The sadness in his eyes flashed away, and the man made a gesture nonchalantly. Immediately, there was another younger Guangming
The sentry stepped forward and handed Akshan the real sword, while he handed the heavy shield to another female light sentinel.
The real sword has a double-edged edge and shines coldly under the flames of the everlasting torch of the fortress. It is obviously a rare and good sword.
Akshan, who looked anxious, did not take the real sword. For fear of delaying his efforts, the young man hurriedly explained.
"But Teacher Satya asked me..."
With a wave of his hand, Douglas coldly interrupted Akshan's unfinished words.
"You want you to tell us that the bastards from Shadow Island are here for the sacred artifact guarded by the Light Fortress?"
Akshan was stunned. He didn't understand why the man in front of him revealed the news he wanted to bring before he opened his mouth.
Douglas, however, had no intention of wasting time with the brat and ruthlessly told the truth.
"If the Fortress of Light needed a brat like you to take precautions, the people here would have been dead for eight hundred years.
Boy, don’t think I’m being harsh. Your teacher assigned you this task for only one reason. She can no longer contain the trouble in Malvi City. She doesn’t want you, an arrogant idiot, to die in Malvi City.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If there is no such hard task, a kid of your size would be most self-righteous, and you don’t know what trouble it will cause to the lone wolf if you stay there."
Akshan lowered his head, his body trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to punch Douglas in the face, but he also knew that Douglas was right. If Satya told him to run away, he would never do it with his pride.
Will run away alone.
But in this case, wouldn't it mean that Satya...
Noticing that Akshan had listened to his words, Douglas snorted coldly.
"Okay, enough nonsense between us, I don't have any extra time to spend with you, a brat.
Listen, there are only two kinds of people in the Fortress of Light. One is the warrior who dares to go into battle to kill the enemy and face death, and the other is the handyman who does not need to fight and is protected by others.
Now, either take your weapons and prove to me that you are the excellent warrior the lone wolf calls you, or shut up and get out and clean the toilets in the fortress! Since you are a lone wolf, I will not kick you out of the light fortress, but I want to
Earn the respect of others and do it yourself.”
After being humiliated many times, Akshan's good impression of the general guard of the Fortress of Light was gone. He took the one-handed sword from the apologetic Sentinel of Light, glared at Douglas in plate armor, and spoke every word through gritted teeth.
road.
"How do you want to fight?"
Douglas sneered.
"It finally makes sense. Little devil, you can fight as much as you want. If you can kill me, stab me to death with your sword. No one here will cause trouble for you, and you can become the boss here by then."
"But you're wearing such thick armor!"
Akshan was itching with hatred, but Douglas was indifferent.
"Real battles are never fair."
At this point, Akshan had no choice but to take the initiative to confront Douglas with a one-handed sword that was neither light nor heavy. Feeling that the one-handed sword was like an arm, Akshan was a little surprised and fell in love with him instantly.
The weapon in his hand.
This was the first time he had touched the weapon of the Sentinel of Light, but he could feel the sophistication of the weapon in his hand. Neither the sense of balance nor the sharpness could be compared to the steel sword regarded as a treasure by the warlord of Malvi City.
This is every warrior's dream sword.
"Ah!"
Taking a step forward and sprinting, Akshan turned his hips and arms to perform a beautiful roundhouse slash. The blade in his hand turned into a silver light as fast as the wind and slashed towards Douglas's abdomen. The movement was extremely standard.
With a "clang" sound, the double-edged sword blocked with the spine of the sword, deflecting the edge of the one-handed sword. Akshan used the force to retreat, removing the counter-shock force from his wrist and avoiding the weapon.
The tragedy of escape.
Seeing Akshan take over his block, Douglas's eyes flashed, he stepped forward and struck with a horizontal slash. While the bright plate armor was moving, the heavy and slender sword forcefully struck out a stream of air that was like a needle, and then he shot out
He struck at Akshan's neck first.
Faced with the heavy slash that was impossible to parry, Akshan's first thought was that he would definitely die under this unavoidable sword, and his second thought was that the man in front of him could not really kill him.
Knowing that he would not die, Akshan had the courage to take a risk.
Sooner or later, when the sword edge was approaching, Akshan released his one-handed sword without hesitation, put his hands behind his waist to form an iron bridge, and the tip of his nose could barely avoid the terrifying sword edge that suddenly slowed down a bit.
Immediately afterwards, the center of gravity shifted to the bent arms, and he kicked on the spot. His right leg flew up, and he kicked the spine of the double-edged sword with deftness and strength, causing the trajectory of the sword to go diagonally upward out of control.
With one deflection, Douglas revealed his only flaw.
With the help of the counter-kick, Akshan rolled back to his feet. During the process of turning over, Akshan had already thrown out the short dagger he carried with him. The main purpose was to catch him off guard.
The short dagger whirled and whizzed towards Douglas's face. The panting young man looked expectantly, only to see that his carefully prepared blow was swatted away by the strong man like a wild bear with his other hand like a fly.
There was a crisp "snap" sound, and the iron dagger that Akshan had spent a lot of money to have customized by an excellent blacksmith in Malvi City fell to the ground. There were actually three more cracks on the blade on one side. The young man was worried when he saw it.
Even if his one-handed sword was broken, he would never feel so distressed.
When Akshan gritted his teeth and picked up the one-handed sword again, he saw that Douglas had put away the sword and gave instructions to the brown-haired female sentry carrying the shield.
"Sally, make some arrangements for this boy. Don't let him cause trouble for me."
After returning the shield to Douglas, the female sentinel named Sally nodded, twisted her plump body belonging to a mature woman, came to Akshan, rubbed Akshan's head, and smiled slightly, her appearance was quite gorgeous.
"You can actually embarrass Mr. Douglas. Little brother, I didn't expect that you are not only handsome, but you are also so skilled. Come with me, sister. The Fortress of Light is big or small. If you don't know the way well, you can easily get lost.
of."
The bikini-like brisk leather armor hugged Sally's chest with great difficulty. Akshan stared blankly at the plump and fair body less than five centimeters away from his forehead, but in his mind, he unconsciously thought of "big" and "so big"
The words "too big",
It wasn't until several nearby bright sentinels chuckled that Akshan, who was stunned, took a step back and turned his head with a blushing face, as if to drive away a certain smell and strange thoughts that came to his face.
Out of the head.
"Sally...sister...I have a very good memory. No matter how old I am, I will never get lost."
As if she had made a decision, Sally's eyebrows curled up and she looked very happy.
"Gee, you are still young, but you can't recognize all roads. There is a dry road and a water road in the Fortress of Light. You have to have your sister teach you how to recognize the road before you grow up..."
"Boy, cherish the time you have now. Only mother Sally in this world can be so gentle and tolerant of every lost boy. She is the goddess of our light fortress. Don't make her angry, otherwise I won't
It's like the Chief Guard is so 'kind'."
I always felt that there was something in the words of those winking men. Akshan was about to say something when he was hurriedly pulled away by Sally.
"Ignore these stupid guys, sister will take you to the bed first to see if the size is suitable."
"Can I change it if it doesn't fit?"
Sally smiled slightly.
"I can change it, but I'm afraid you can't."
While Sentinel of Light Sally was taking new member Akshan to get familiar with the path of growth, Douglas returned to the single room that belonged to the Sentinel General Guard alone, closed the door,
The man who was as stubborn and cold as an anvil finally put down the sword and heavy shield in his hand, took off the plate armor that had become a part of his body, sat at the table and rubbed his face sadly with his hands, until it was covered with blood.
The calloused hands were put down, and the man's face was filled with a hint of silent pain.
A white jade ring was taken out from the locked jewelry box. Its shape and characteristics were very similar to the ring in Akshan's hand.
Caressing the oath ring, Douglas whispered softly.
"Sadia, if our child can still pick up weapons, she should be this old...Goddess Soraka, please bless Satya and come back alive."
