Jarvan III and a group of staff and generals finally reached a unified opinion on the issue of the Ionian War.
On the other side, Lux and Sona were still studying step by step.
And studying - even for out-and-out academics like Lux and Sona - is never an easy and pleasant thing.
Especially when Kalya realized what would happen if he controlled Lux's body and never conducted "experimental demonstrations" again.
It was also thanks to the mutual support of Lux and Sona that they were able to maintain a fairly good enthusiasm for learning under such amazing pressure.
When the new year arrived and Lux and Sona successfully entered the tenth year of their lives, Kalya announced a piece of news that made both of them burst with joy.
"Considering that you have a decent learning ability, in the new year, I can finally teach you some practical things - but don't be complacent, you are still the worst class I have ever taught."
Practical stuff!
Hearing this sentence, Lux and Sona ignored the second half of it and became excited at the same time - after half a year of study, they have already developed into "Magic King Yuyan", with little theoretical knowledge.
A bit richer, but the spellcasting ability is still close to zero.
In this case, I heard that I could learn something practical. Even Lux, who was still wary of magic, felt a vague feeling of joy after suffering.
It’s not easy!
Then, the next day, when the two of them got together excitedly and prepared to be real, Kalya finally announced this year's learning theme.
"This year, the main focus of your studies will be on the Forbidden Demon Stone."
Forbidden Demon Stone?!
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux and Sona were both stunned. The two little girls looked at each other, both suspecting that they were hallucinating.
The Forbidden Magic Stone...isn't it a device that restrains the mage from casting spells and confines the mage's magic power?
What does it mean to learn the magic stone?
Do you want to learn how to counter the magic-forbidden effect of the magic-forbidden stone?
Why do you want to learn this stuff?
Fortunately, Kalya did not give in. Amidst the confusion between the two, he got straight to the point and pointed out the unknown nature of the forbidden magic stone from the beginning.
"Lux, have you read the Legend of the Winged Sisters? In the legend, is there any mention of the origin of the Forbidden Demon Stone?"
"...No." Lux recalled for a while, then shook her head silently, "But why does the Legend of the Winged Sisters talk about the origin of the Forbidden Demon Stone?"
"Because the legend of the Winged Sisters and the discovery and use of the Forbidden Demon Stone happened in the same generation - but since it is not in the legend, it means that Demacia has consciously blocked this part." Kalya said clearly, "
Then let me talk about this part first. First of all, the Forbidden Demon Stone is not a natural stone."
"I know this." Lux nodded and added, "The forbidden magic stone seems to be a composite material. It seems to be made of lime and some mysterious material. And the same is true for Demacia steel. In steel
This material was added to it.”
"That's very good." Kalya confirmed Lux's statement, "The Forbidden Demon Stone comes from the fossil of the Forbidden Demon Tree. It was discovered when Demacia came here to escape the disaster of the Rune War before the founding of Demacia.
And these people are the thirteen noble families that Lux knows."
"Forbidden Demonic Tree?" Lux blinked strangely, "Are you saying that that mysterious material is actually a fossil of a tree?"
"Yes, you Demacians call it the Forbidden Demon Tree." Kalya confirmed again, "However, I would actually prefer to call it the Rune Tree - as for the Forbidden Demon Stone, its name should also be called the Rune Stone."
"Rune stone?" Lux and Sona both widened their eyes, "How is that possible?"
Lux and Sona both know that runes are a representative mark of magical energy. They are also the origin of the name of Runeterra as Kalya once mentioned. They are a manifestation of high-purity magic power.
But the Forbidden Magic Stone is clearly a stone that restricts magic power. The relationship between the two cannot be said to be specious, it can only be said to be completely different!
"Sounds weird, right?" Kalya seemed satisfied with the surprise of the two people, and her tone gradually became cheerful, "But this is the fact - the restriction you perceive is actually a kind of absorption.
!”
absorb?
This statement surprised both Lux and Sona. They really couldn't believe that the Forbidden Magic Stone, which protected the birth and rise of Demacia, did not restrict magic, but only absorbed magic.
"Isn't this conclusion very unbelievable?" Kalya continued his explanation, "But unfortunately, this is the fact - and, for so many years, Demacia has been relentlessly charging the rune stones. To be honest,
, I don’t know when these rune stones will be filled, but what is certain is that once they are filled, the forbidden demon kingdom without magic will become a magical kingdom overnight.”
Lux was completely stunned. She was planning to learn some practical things happily today, but she heard such exciting news at the beginning, and she was in a daze for a moment.
However, even so, she still tried hard to calm down, and then asked a question full of hope: "Is this your guess? Or do you have evidence?"
"Of course there is evidence." Kalya's answer crushed her last hope, "And what you have to learn this year is how to extract and master the power of the Forbidden Demon Stone."
"In comparison, I'm more concerned about how to solve this huge trouble!" Lux stood up suddenly, "No, I'm going to tell my father-"
"What are you talking about?" Kalya asked, "Tell him that the Forbidden Demon Stone is a rune stone? Then tell him everything I told you?"
"This concerns all of Demacia!"
Unfortunately, before Carax could take a step forward, she froze in place.
"Then, how do you know all this?" Kalya controlled Lux lightly while continuing to question her soul, "Go and tell Mr. Pitt that his good daughter got it from a villain.
Did you hear these sensational news?”
"No, that's not the case, Kalya... please, let me tell my father the news!" Lux's eyes turned red, unable to break free, "Please - I won't tell everything about you.
, I am also grateful for your teachings to me, but I cannot sit back and watch my country just think it is safe and stay on the crater of a volcano that is about to erupt!"
"So, you are going to tell your father that you discovered this by accident, that the essence of the forbidden magic stone is actually to absorb magic, not to contain magic, right?" Kalya hardened his heart.
, "But use your brain, Lux, does this really work? I can prove it all, but can you prove it?"
"I -" Lux was speechless, and after a long time she gave the answer with some dejection, "I can't."
"I can actually understand a teenage boy's desire to save everything after learning a shocking secret." Kalya released her restraint on Lux, "But, unfortunately, you
There is no evidence, and in fact, there are people in Demacia who know this."
"Who knows this?!" Lux gripped the hilt of the sword in disbelief, "Why didn't he say it?"
"Maybe he said it, but no one cared about it?" Kalya seemed to be disdainful, and then snorted helplessly, "Sona, if I remember correctly, your mother is a member of the Illuminati, right?
?”
"That's right."
"I think that among the secret records of the Illuminati, there should be a part about the research on the forbidden magic stone." Kalya quietly dropped a bombshell again, "It's just a pity that magic knowledge
There is no systematic inheritance in Demacia, and even if they are researching it, it will be difficult to research anything."
Under the impact of these breaking news one after another, Lux was already a little numb. She finally shook her head, and then sat back in her seat honestly: "Karya, I will not act impulsively anymore - you
You're right, actually I can't do anything now."
"Very good, Lux." Kalya's tone was a little more appreciative, "Calmness is very important for a spell caster. Now you look a little bit like a magician - next, I will
Let me talk to you about the rune stones..."
……………………
Lux, who had regained her composure, was still full of worries, but at least she listened quietly to Kalya's story.
In this part of the story, except for some hidden history, it can be roughly summarized into two aspects, good news and bad news.
The good news is that although Demacia has been a country for more than a thousand years, the Forbidden Demon Stone here is still a long way from being fully charged and completely transformed into a rune stone. According to Kalya's judgment, even the capital of Demacia
The transformation progress of the city wall may not exceed 30%.
The bad news is that the charging speed of Demacia's Forbidden Magic Stone is increasing rapidly. In addition to mages who naturally awaken magic power, somewhere, there is a more powerful source of magic power that is recharging Demacia's Forbidden Magic Stone.
able!
This good and bad news made Lux feel extremely complicated. She was silent for a long time before holding her sword again: "So, Kalya, what do you want to teach us?"
"I want to teach you how to use the magic power stored in the forbidden magic stone." Kalya responded directly, "This magic power will be used as part of my trial to accelerate your growth. If you are really worried about the forbidden magic stone,
Safety, I guarantee you will be able to handle all this before an accident happens."
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against Sona, as if her whole body had been hollowed out, and stared at the ceiling with her eyes blankly.
Then, just as Sona was comforting Lux in a low voice, Kalya spoke again:
"As for Sona...if you can master this power, maybe one day you can return to your hometown and use your own power to end the Noxian expansion plan."
This time, Sona's body was also a little stiff - for a person with a gentle personality like her, it was actually difficult for her to make up her mind to face a war. In a sense, she needed an extra push, and while
While Lux was in a state of confusion, Kalya happily played the role of the bewitcher.
Sona hesitated.
She doesn't like fighting with others, and she doesn't want to join a war.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but think of the agreement she made with Lux - they swore an oath to support each other on the road to magic and the future.
Lux has her own ideals, but what about herself?
Are you following Lux silently?
Or should we boldly be like her and work hard to do something for our hometown?
Sona doesn't have an answer to this question yet - however, this does not prevent her from making up her mind to work hard to learn this part of knowledge.
Even if it's just to help Lux and protect his parents!
Thinking of this, the gentle Sona finally clenched her fist: Sona, you can do it!
……………………
Because of the secret of the Forbidden Demon Stone, Kalya did not continue teaching on this day, and both Lux and Sona, who were confused, chose to take a rest early.
However, in the dead of night, Lux climbed out of bed quietly.
This time, she did not bring the sword that she had never left her body for half a year. Instead, she changed her clothes alone and left the bedroom.
The garden in the dark was not as beautiful as it was during the day. Lux leaned against the magic-forbidden stone wall of the garden, and then barely controlled the flow of her magic power, trying to emit a little light.
However, just as a trace of arc light appeared on Lux's fingertips, the magic power she tried her best to output was scattered due to instability - then, the arc light flashed away, and an indescribable emptiness made Lux's feet weak, and her whole body
Everyone collapsed on the cold soil.
The coldness beneath her body calmed down Lux. She stood up awkwardly, looking at the dirt in her hands, and suddenly felt like laughing.
Kalya did not deceive himself.
In other words, Kalya has never deceived himself, nor does he need to deceive himself.
He will teach himself to use the power of the forbidden magic stone later. If everything he says is false and alarmist, then what will he teach himself then?
Why do I suddenly feel like a fool like my brother?
Lux, who realized this, was a little funny, but also inexplicably at ease. It was really terrible that the Forbidden Demon Stone was the Rune Stone, but at least Teacher Kalya was trustworthy. He had never deceived himself, and he could always trust him.
he!
Taking a long breath, Lux whistled and walked briskly back to her bedroom without being ladylike. She plunged into the bathroom and took a nice hot bath before
Returned to his bed again.
On the bedside, her sword was still lying quietly.
Lux turned around and pounced, her whole body sinking into the soft bed. After her body bounced twice, she finally grabbed her sword and held it in her arms.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I was too willful today." Lux whispered, "I promise I won't be like this next time!"
Then, before Kalya could react, she threw the sword aside, chose the most comfortable position, and spread herself completely.
Soon, low snoring sounded - in Kalya's confusion, Dorax finally fell asleep after a day of exhaustion.
