Not long ago, I heard Karya talk about Ino in the Marrow Seal Market. I never expected that Ryze was actually a VIP customer here.
How much did Ryze spend to become a VIP here?
And considering the outrageous prices in the Marrow Seal Market... I'm afraid it's even more scary!
"Don't look at me like that." Ino's gaze made Ruiz feel a little uncomfortable. "You always have to eat and drink when traveling outside. The merchants in the Marrow Seal Market have the most comprehensive goods, and they also have strict mouths."
"I know all this." Ino nodded lightly, "But their prices are really outrageous."
"Money is not an important resource." Ruiz shook his head, "You will understand this soon."
Ino didn't say much about Ritz's "You're too young" look, but what she was thinking in her heart was "Teacher Kalya is much older than you, but he still values the meaning of money."
The experience of the Marrow Seal Fair was just a small episode.
After Ryze rested for a while and almost felt that he had recovered enough magic power, he finally stood up and signaled to Ino that he could leave.
So, Ino took him outside the Marrow Seal Market and found the place where he and Shyvana had left.
Kalya is not here.
Just when Ino was confused, she saw Nasus.
"Here." Although Nasus was wearing a large robe and a hood, making it difficult to see his face, his tall figure still made Ino recognize him immediately, "He is waiting for you."
Ino nodded.
Then, Nasus turned to look at Ryze.
"Is that him?" Nasus looked up and down at this man who was also wearing a mage robe and didn't want to show his face. "Is he very good at sealing?"
"I understand a little bit." Under the hood, Ryze was also sizing up Nasus. "If Ino is not lying, then this is indeed my area of expertise."
"That's the best." Nasus nodded and withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, "Let's go."
……………………
When Nasus brought Ino and Ryze back to the temporary camp, Kalya had just completed a round of combat training with Thalia and was telling her about her oversights during the battle.
Then, when he raised his head and saw Ino, Kalya was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Where's Shyvana?"
"Ritz teleported here with me, Shyvana is not here." Ino shook his head, "He still doesn't trust us."
"Ha, are you afraid that we are also interested in the world runes?" Kalya looked unconcerned, with a big smile on his mask, "Don't worry, I have no interest in powers beyond my control."
"What if you can control it?" Ryze did not relax at all because of Kalya's statement, "Or, do you think you can control it?"
Ryze's appearance seems a bit inhumane.
"You look very nervous." The smile on Kalya's mask did not diminish at all, "It seems that the rune wars in the past left a very deep impression on you."
"The danger of runes is a problem that must be faced squarely." Ryze's expression was very serious. "I have seen countless people who thought they could master the world's runes, but without exception, they were addicted to this power.
Finally, he drowned in the whirlpool and became a walking zombie dominated by power..."
"Well said, these are all painful lessons." Kalya nodded seriously, "Unfortunately, the only lesson people have learned in history is that they will not learn any lessons. Do you think you can protect this power?
Is it safe if you get up and out of reach of mortals?"
"So, you don't intend to hand over this world rune to me and seal it safely?" On Ryze's skin, the azure blue mark began to flash with arcane aura, "You covet it?
"
"Put away your barbs, Ryze." Kalya ignored the man's surging magic power, "If you really realized the danger of the world's runes because of the historical lessons of the Rune War, then you should do more
Read the history and understand the meaning of the name Kalya."
"So, you want to say that the out-of-control Ascended One is Kalya?"
"No." Kalya shook his head gently and took off the mask on his face, "I mean, I am Kalya, and the world runes are not enough to tempt me."
Ryze was stunned.
As a knowledgeable mage, although Ryze is always on the road to find and protect the world's runes, he is also used to reading in his spare time.
For Ryze, who doesn't dare to make friends, reading is the best way to pass the time.
As long as you read more books and understand history, Kalya is destined to be a name that cannot be bypassed. Even in historical books and novels, he is often not the protagonist, but at least he is a common background.
.
Now, a person made of gravel said to himself that he was Kalya. Even if Ryze was well-informed, he had never seen this situation before.
"It seems that you have heard my story." A satisfied smile appeared on Kalya's face, "In this case, you should understand that my goal will not be that world rune."
"I don't know Kalya." Ruiz shook his head stiffly, "This is not enough for me to completely trust you."
"That's really troublesome." Kalya shrugged, "Let's put it another way - I heard from Ino, you chose to use the absorption of the rune tree to store those world runes?"
After saying this, Ryze finally widened his eyes.
Arcane light lit up in his palm, and he was also preparing for teleportation. No matter whether the person in front of him was Kalya or not, the other party already knew the possible location of the world runes, which was very dangerous!
"I planted those trees. You are hiding something in my forest garden. Do you still want to hide it from me?"
Ryze was dumbfounded.
"Want me to report the location where the rune trees are planted?" Kalya continued, "You don't think those secret laboratories are purely natural, do you?"
Ryze fell into deep thought.
Kalja was right about this. Although the places he found that could store world runes have been abandoned for a long time, they are not naturally occurring. They all have very obvious artificial traces. It's just that those places were found in Ryze.
By that time, there were no traces of human activities in it, leaving only some garbage that had long since decayed under the erosion of time.
Ryze didn't understand archeology, but after observing for a long time, he determined that these places had been abandoned, so he used them as secret places to hide the world's runes, and added several seals to disrupt the spatial coordinates.
.
"To be honest, I don't know what those former forest gardens have become now." Kalya shook his head gently, "But as for the woods where you hide the world runes, the characteristics of the trees are probably better than anyone else's.
We all understand.”
Ryze looked at Kalya silently, as if waiting for the other party to give a description.
"In the current Demacia region, the northwest laboratory grows Kara poplar. This is a tree that can grow almost infinitely. However, it does not grow tall very quickly and grows thick at an alarming rate. They are drought tolerant and afraid of moisture.
With the current climate in Demacia, when you see them, maybe they will be a thick, waxy piece of rotten wood."
Ryze said nothing.
"In addition to Karayang, the Northwest Laboratory is also an important magic channel circuit." Kalya continued, "Underneath the Karayang Forest Garden, there should be a complex underground magic circuit. Maybe it can hide the world's runes.
Natural labyrinth?”
Ryze still didn't speak.
"As one of the designers of the laboratory, I have a good memory. I remember that there are six magic storage pools in the magic circuit, and there should be a lot of gems stored in them. When you discovered that laboratory, those gems were still there
?”
"No more." This time, Ryze finally spoke in a low voice, "The gem warehouse is the most complete, but all the gems in it have been emptied."
"I don't know if there was a breakthrough in the experiment, or if they gave up everything." Kalya shrugged, "Now, do you think I will covet the world's runes?"
"You...maybe not." Ruiz's tone was cautious but also a little relaxed, "If you really have an idea, you might be able to hide it from me and get it yourself."
"So, you should believe it now, my target is really that stupid Bakai." Kalya spread his hands, "We need professionals to deal with the problem of world runes."
"As long as you buy me a little time, I can seal it." Ryze finally nodded, "But no matter what, it is impossible for me to hand over those dangerous runes to you."
"I don't plan to come into contact with it now." Kalya didn't care at all about Ruiz's undisguised defensive attitude. "If one day, I really find a way to effectively control this power, I hope Mr. Ruiz won't do it either."
If you refuse, help me check it."
Faced with Kalya's "voluntary appointment", Ruiz changed the topic without comment.
"So, what is the current state of the ascended person controlled by the world runes?"
"About this, you can ask Nasus in detail." Kalya pointed to Nasus, who had been silent, as if he had completed his task. "Ask quickly, and remember to ask Shyvana
Bring it back - air superiority is very important in this battle!"
……………………
Ryze and Nasus chatted for a long time.
Surprisingly, Ryze and Nasus got along very well.
After asking many details about Xerath in detail, Ryze finally fully confirmed the identity of the user of the runes in the world of Xerath, and joined the fight against Xerath without hesitation.
After joining the battle sequence, Ryze's first mission was to bring Shyvana back.
Obviously, he is going to teleport again.
While Ryze went to pick up someone, Kalya continued to conduct special training with Thalia.
After discovering that Kalya was off the field in person, Ino, who was just watching the battle, suddenly became eager to give it a try - after watching a few battles, she felt that she could definitely go on the field and have a try with Kalya.
Even though Kalya took care of Thalia very easily, it was clearly because the junior sister was not good at fighting yet. In terms of combat experience, she couldn't even compare to Jinx. Naturally, she could only be bullied against a veteran like Kalya.
If it were me...
No student could resist the temptation of defeating their teacher one-on-one, and when Kalya began training with Thalia again, Ino volunteered to join the fight.
At first, Kalya refused.
Thalia lacks combat experience. Special training at this time can help her improve quickly. You, Ino, are not lacking, so why are you here to join in the fun?
Ino, who had been prepared for a long time, plausibly stated that he and Thalia would practice cooperation. The next battle against Xerath cannot be solved by each of them. Cooperation training must be done sooner rather than later.
!
The words were nice to hear, but Kalya knew very well that she was clearly a loser!
This naughty kid must have bad intentions.
Kalya pretended to refuse at first, but in the end, "I really couldn't stand Ino's hard work", so he asked her to give it a try together.
Try it and you'll die.
Ino thought that he would have a great advantage in a two-on-one situation, but he did not expect that even at such an age, Kalya still had no martial ethics - while he continued to guide Thalia's combat experience, on the other hand, he
He directly used the power of the devil to fight himself.
What a hell!
Ino is not Lux. Her magic itself is weakened in the desert environment, and there is no damage bonus when facing demons. Even if Kalya is only multitasking, she is still completely unable to take the initiative in the battle!
"The world runes have the ability to influence people's hearts." Not only did he use the power of the devil to cheat, Kalya also said plausibly, "The power of the devil also has a similar ability, which can hone your mind well and allow you to face the world runes.
When the text is in danger, you will not let yourself lose your mind..."
It sounds better when you say it than when you sing it. This is obviously a plug-in that uses the power of the devil because you are afraid of being embarrassed by losing to your own students!
Use your sand if you can!
Unfortunately, when the battle does not prevail, no matter how much he protests, it is just like the wail of a defeated dog. In the end, Ino has to admit that with his current ability, there is nothing to control Kalya who controls three demons for the time being.
way.
This sinister old thing!
I really don’t want to take any losses!
During Kalya's "special training", three days flew by.
Ryze spent a lot of magic power and finally reluctantly teleported Shyvana. In the process, he once doubted himself. Why did it cost so much magic power to teleport this little girl?
And all the doubts were answered when Shyvana showed the posture of a dragon. Only then did Ryze realize that he had forcefully transported a humanoid dragon from Demacia to the Marrow Seal Market.
!
At this point, all members of the World Rune Recovery Team have finally arrived.
Next, they will set off to Antasil to stop Xerath's attempt to resurrect Azir and recover the dangerous world rune from his hands!
