Lux's Farewell

The Shadow Realm is the shadow world of Runeterra, but it is not a complete reflection of the world—here, time is stretched, space is compressed, and the entire subplane is filled with activated shadow elements.

Anyone who enters the Shadow Realm will encounter the indiscriminate erosion of the shadows.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to avoid being eroded into a shadow creature: one is to surpass the extraordinary level in strength, make one's body stable, and be able to resist this erosion with one's own strength; Adapt to the erosion of shadows and control the power of shadows.

Lux, Ino, LeBlanc, and Vladimir are the former. They can move freely in the Shadow Realm because they are strong enough to completely ignore the erosion of the shadow.

As for the composting team, the seventh sequence, and Shadow Stream, they rely on the latter method, actively adapting to this erosion by strengthening their grasp of the shadows.

Among them, those who enter the Shadow Realm like the Archon are people with negative energy magic talents. The time for them to enter the Shadow Realm is strictly controlled, and Karya provides theoretical support; while the way for Shadow Stream to enter the Shadow Realm is to use Tears have special tattoos on their bodies-in a sense, these shadow stream tattoos are the exclusive magic circuits of shadow magic.

Through the shadow flow tattoo, the members of the shadow flow have obtained a strong adaptability to the shadows. They can forcefully escape into the shadow world for a short time and perform phase shifts in the shadow world for a short time.

With the help of the characteristics of space compression and time stretching in the shadow world, from the perspective of enemies in the present world, the members of these shadow streams seem to disappear for a short time, and then suddenly appear from another place.

The particularity of the Shadow Realm directly leads to the fact that it is not difficult to enter the Shadow Realm, but staying in it for a long time is a test of personal ability. In this case, if you want to find someone in the Shadow Realm, even a group of people, it is doomed very difficult.

But no matter how difficult it is, Lux needs to deal with it with all her strength.

"Really?" Jacka's tone was still somewhat unbelievable, "Could I have forgotten that my beloved little Lacus came to see me?"

With the warm light shining, Lux appeared under the wall of the fort with a smile, waving her hands vigorously.

However, Jacka didn't even come back to life, and those mages left in a hurry, they must have had some scruples!
So, the question is, what are they worried about?

This is very interesting.

In a sense, Lacus also agrees with Jacka's statement that Demacia's historical records are not detailed, and there are obvious traces of distortion and modification in many places. In this case, she really can't persuade .

They shouldn't appear in front of Jacka for fear of being discovered, and they don't know that Jacka will forget some things periodically.

"That's just a show! His Excellency Sentu's achievements and sacrifices have become a proof for later generations to be complacent. That is not a commemoration, but a distortion!"

However, in the eyes of Vladimir and LeBlanc, this stronghold should have been built when Demacia was first established. Now Demacia has completely lost the ability to research and use magic, and the distance from degenerating into barbarians should be It won't be long either.

Thinking of this, Lacus quickly made arrangements. Considering that her uncle would forget and she couldn't keep an eye on the Shadow Realm all the time, she simply asked the seventh-order archons to patrol places close to but not entering the fortress, looking for Any possible foreign intruders, try to see if you can sit back and wait.

Even because of the sacrificial ceremony, Vladimir and LeBlanc misjudged Vayne's identity. They believed that Vayne should be a "Guardian of the Shadow Realm" who was in the same group as Jacka. When it was established, the first generation of ancestors who stayed in the shadow world to guard the door.

At the very beginning, looking at his appearance, Lux also tried to persuade him to let go and end this eternal sacrifice that was no different from imprisonment.

"Are you a mage?" Jacka said with a bit of unbelievable pain in his tone, "No, it shouldn't be like this—"

Even most of the Noxus mages have never heard of such an advanced ritual magic as the sacrifice ceremony. Only the core members of the Black Rose understand it. How can the current Demacians understand it?
That fortress and that heroic soul are definitely antiques!

After becoming the lord of Fossbarrow, Lacus also visited Jacka, but since Jacka's time has been anchored at the moment when he became a heroic soul, every time Lacus saw him, he would be very nervous. Surprised, and then pulled Lux ​​to ask her why she came to the Shadow Realm.

Hearing this familiar words, Lux blinked: "This is a long story."

But this time, in order to find out what happened to the intruders, Lux came to the fortress guarding the Shadow Realm alone and found Jacka.

After thinking about it, in the Shadow Realm, only Wei En might cause some fear.

Seeing this scene, Lux felt a tightness in her chest. Instead of persuading her uncle to let go as usual, she took two deep breaths and asked Jacka directly if anyone had been here.

"Really, I still know His Majesty Centu, and the first-generation fearless pioneers who entered the Shadow Realm with him..." Lacus No. 12 told the original story with Jacka, "They have already left. "

But Jacka disagreed. He insisted that he should stay here. He was a monument to His Majesty Centu and the first generation of fearless pioneers fighting for Demacia and Runeterra. When trying to persuade them with their names and deeds engraved on the plaque, Jacka will show amazing irascibility.

Therefore, after learning that there were traces of an uninvited guest in the Shadow Realm, she took decisive action - before looking for someone, she first asked her uncle.

Afraid of being discovered?

"Yes, yes." He seemed afraid that he would forget, and told Lacus at the fastest speed, "A group of sneaky guys passed by here, and they still want to occupy this place, but these cunning people In the end, I failed to succeed..."

That being the case, there is no point in storming it. With a heroic soul like an earthbound spirit here, they can't really occupy this fortress, so it's better to withdraw first, and wait until the materials for lifting the sacrifice ceremony are ready. Clean him up and occupy the fortress again!
In this way, these mages left quickly and reported directly to LeBlanc and Vladimir.

LeBlanc and Vladimir were a little surprised when they got the news. They had no idea that the Demacians would leave a stronghold in the Shadow Realm—the Demacians knew very little about this period of history, let alone this Two Noxians.

When Sentu and the other heroic souls were still alive, these warriors would remind each other and spread word of mouth in their spare time to fight against oblivion. When he was young, he seemed to be a patient with Alzheimer's disease. Every time he saw Lacus, he regarded Lacus as the nine-year-old girl.

"What's going on, little Lux." Jacka frowned, and asked in disbelief, "What's wrong with you?"

After all, if she doesn't set a central point of activity, even if she mobilizes all the Archons, she will only be looking for a needle in a haystack in the huge Shadow Realm.

According to my uncle, there are more than 20 people in that team, and they are all dangerous mages who can move freely in the shadow world. If they swarm up, Jacka should not be able to defend them—even if Jacka wants to make them feel difficult. Then at least he needs to go through the resurrection of several sacrificial rituals.

"Yeah, yeah, that's how it is. I said why I couldn't find His Majesty Sentu. It turns out that he has already put it down."

Considering that these people inexplicably went to the compost site and stepped on it, and didn't even have time to clean up the traces afterwards, could this be Wei En's warning to herself?
Lux is not completely sure about her speculation. After all, the Shadow Realm is huge, and she doesn't fully understand it—but no matter what the specific situation is, those outsiders will never ignore the existence of this fortress after they know it, so , It might be a good idea to search around this fortress!

When Lux came under the fortress, Jacka was holding a dusty and worn-out Demacian flag, standing upright on the edge of the city wall like a garrison soldier.

Don't forget, in addition to the permanent exit on Fossbarrow's side, the Shadow Realm also has a "main gate" facing Xiongdu!
Even if Lux is very sure that the old nobles of Xiongdu will become her enemies sooner or later, at least before Fossbarrow has the ability to control the overall situation, she still needs Xiongdu to be big and not fall!

"I am a climber, and this is not the first time I have come here." Lux described her situation in the simplest words, "I have been here many times, but you don't remember me!"

Jacka is neither a living person nor a dead person. He is a heroic soul after the sacrifice ceremony. He will never forget everything before the ceremony, but he cannot remember everything after the ceremony.

After confirming that Jacka was the transformer of the sacrifice ceremony, these black rose black mages simply estimated the materials in their hands and confirmed that they could not end Jacka's ceremony.

Then, Lux will start talking about her ascent to the peak, and then tell Jacka about the battle between her and Ino in the Shadow Realm, and tell Jacka that the demon has been completely defeated, and His Majesty Centu's obsession has been completed up.

"Uncle, Uncle!" Lux yelled loudly, "I'm here to see you!"

Although it was embarrassing to be led around by the nose by Vayne, for them, discovering the outpost left by the Demacian was enough to make up for it.

Afraid of shadow creatures?
This is even more impossible. If a person can move freely in the shadow world without worrying about shadow erosion, then shadow creatures will not cause him any trouble, and if a group of people act together, the problems that shadow creatures can cause are even more serious. negligible.

The sacrifice ceremony, like the shadow conversion ceremony and element conversion ceremony, belongs to ritual magic, and the biggest feature of ritual magic is that it requires a lot of materials and a special magic circle, which consumes a lot of money but the effect is stable and reliable - the ascension ceremony is a kind of ritual magic .

........................

I heard that when Demacia was plagued by demons, they even needed to hire magic consultants from abroad. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary mages, the Demacia Forbidden Stone is the best material against magic, and it is the natural nemesis of mages.

However, different from what Lux thought, these truly professional black mages clearly saw Jacka's state and didn't need him to be resurrected at all, and they didn't choose to occupy the fortress because they were worried about the surprise attack from Vayne , but what they have at hand can't handle Jacka.

"Leave, yes, I must have left." Jacka nodded and murmured like the eleven times before, "He let go. It's good that His Majesty finally let go."

Lux inquired about the process of the battle very carefully, and finally learned that these people didn't seem to have exhausted their strength, but retreated quickly after encountering resistance, and did not pursue them fiercely.

And every time after listening to these, Jacka would nod with a sense of loss.

Unable to persuade her uncle to end the sacrifice, and seeing her uncle like this, she will silently feel sorry for her. In addition, Fossbarrow's work is really busy, so Lacus gradually stopped going to the Shadowlands and seeing Jacka.

These people were indeed exposed by Wei En on purpose, and these people did not intend to abandon the fortress, so it is a good choice to wait here.

After Sentu and the warriors of the first generation of fearless pioneers dissipated, only Lux's uncle Jacka remained in the Shadow Realm in the form of a heroic soul, responsible for supervising Wayne's hunting of demons.

........................

Lux's conjectures were mostly correct.

After hearing this question, Jacka woke up like a dream.

But for these two old guys who had experienced Rune Wars, the Arcatria was just the last straw that broke the camel's back as the Rune Wars came to an end.

This kind of antique is exactly what we should accept!
Therefore, in addition to preparing the materials for the shadow transformation ceremony, Vladimir and LeBlanc also prepared the sacrifice and liberation ceremony, intending to give the Demacians entrenched in that ancient fortress a good time, and then occupy it openly, Take it as the beginning of witnessing immortality!
In this way, when Laxribbon was squatting outside the fortress, ready to sit and wait, LeBlanc and Vladimir, who were fully prepared, finally took the black rose mage who could act in the shadow world, and marched towards the fortress come.

On the way, LeBlanc and Vladimir even had some haggling over the distribution rights of Wayne and Jacka, and finally decided that LeBlanc would take Wayne and Vladimir would take Jacka—they had completely Treat the Shadow Realm and everything in the Shadow Realm as your own!

Then, just before LeBlanc and Vladimir came to the fortress, they easily controlled Jacka, and began to arrange the ritual of sacrifice and liberation. After preparing, they controlled Jacka and asked the one who used the holy silver arrow When the guy's identity was confirmed, behind them, a dazzling light suddenly burst into flames.

"Cunning villain!" Lux's voice made all the Black Rose members present shudder almost uncontrollably, "Accept the judgment of light!"

Carya's Small Classroom Ritual Magic:
Ritual magic and bloodline magic are the earliest and most stable magic in Runeterra. The former is the natural use of the natural magic power of Runeterra, while the latter is the ultimate development of its own magic.
