Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 377 Our purpose is to protect the world

The conspiracy between Eldred and his accomplices was almost at the same time as Li Lin was studying world runes in the underground palace of the forbidden stone forest.

Because using "data-based thinking" to discover the origin of world runes consumes too much energy, Li Lin barely checked the "Phase Rush" attribute of the cornerstone rune of the witchcraft department, but couldn't hold on.

After a short rest, Li Lin temporarily gave up his research on world runes.

With his current mental strength and physical fitness, there is no problem in using world runes as Zoe said, but it is a bit difficult to study their origin further.

Even with systematic blessings.

Li Lin is now basically sure that this "mechanic" system is actually the last gift from his home planet, or a small part of Runeterra's blessing to him.

When encountering the existence of the same level or even a higher level of world origin, this system seems a little weak.

In general, even with cheats, Li Lin still has to rely on his own efforts to survive in this chaotic and dangerous world...

In the following time, Li Lin, who had regained his composure, informed Ryze of the classification of world runes of all colors, and then discussed the next plan.

He will send a group of battle mechs Skarner and air combat mecha Storm to guard this place, so that when Ryze goes out to find world runes, he doesn't have to worry about his "hometown" being stolen again.

And Ryze went alone to find various world runes.

But unlike before, now he will use the teleportation of the Hex Flying Gate to greatly reduce the time spent on the road.

If there is any accident, he will use the nano pendant Li Lin gave him to call for support.

The small accident in this exploration of the world's rune attributes exceeded Li Lin's expectations, and there are still several hours before dawn.

Originally, he wanted to ask Ruiz if he wanted to rest for a night, which was also the greatest wish of the old mage who had been traveling for thousands of years.

But after careful consideration, Ryze's ability to get close to the world rune is already the biggest concession.

Now that he has his own assistance, finding the remaining world runes is his biggest concern.

Afterwards, Zoe opened a portal leading to Ionia, and the destination was Galen province in Ionia, Sona's hometown.

Although Li Lin had never stayed in Ionia, the familiar atmosphere that rushed to his face still brought back memories from the bottom of his heart.

Sighing a little in his heart, he looked at Ryze, "Is your scroll located here?"

"That's right, but the exact location... I only know it's inside this mountain."

Ruiz pondered for a moment, then pointed to the mountain in front of him.

"The changes here are completely different from when I came here before. I can feel that the flames of war have disturbed the spiritual realm here. The mountain spirits are already angry. It is not a good thing to rush into the mountains."

"The Hirana Monastery is on the mountain, right? It's the sanctuary of Galen Province. The monks may be able to help you."

Perhaps, you can still find Li Qing, the blind monk who summons the power of the dragon in Shuoji Temple.

Li Lin added another sentence in his heart.

Then, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes turned to Zoe who was lying in midair eating ice cream and humming an unknown melody.

"Zoe..."

As soon as Li Lin called out Zoe's name, she rushed to his side, stuffed the remaining cone into her small mouth, and muttered, "I'm listening!"

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, what if you choke?"

After Zoe swallowed the ice cream completely, she wiped her mouth casually with her small hand...

Li Lin sighed, transformed a handkerchief with the nanomaterials on his body, and wiped it on her mouth.

Zooey’s smile was even brighter.

"Can you perceive where this world rune is?"

"The balance between the material realm and the spiritual realm of this region has been broken, and the wild magical power interferes with my perception."

Li Lin was a little disappointed by Zoe's answer.

"Wait...can she still perceive the existence of world runes?" Ryze asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Zoe smiled complacently, and said before Li Lin could speak, "The other world rune is not too far away."

"There's another rune nearby?!" Ryze's expression became even more shocked, and then turned into excitement, "Where is it?"

Zooey made a face at him, "Slightly~~ I won't tell you, it's a gift I want to give Li Lin."

"Zoe..." Li Lin reached out and kneaded her smooth and delicate face, "Tell Ruiz about it, it is also good for us to collect the world runes."

Zooey rolled her eyeballs, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smirk, "It's fine, but you have to give me a kiss!"

"This……"

Li Lin glanced at Ruiz beside him, but found that he had turned around a long time ago, as if leaving enough intimate space for the two of them.

"..."

Li Lin was silent, not knowing how to complain.

Under Zooey's expectant eyes, Li Lin hugged her slender willow waist, and nodded on her cherry red lips.

The interlaced faces of the two separated, but she hummed softly in dissatisfaction: "Oh! It's not enough!"

"Why is it not enough? Today... To be precise, last night, didn't you just kiss me like this?"

"No, I suddenly remembered that you and Caitlin are not so close!"

"..."

Li Lin was silent for a moment, then looked up at Ruiz who had walked a few steps away, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Ahem...don't worry about me."

Ryze's hoarse and deep voice made Li Lin even more embarrassed.

"Zoe, don't be petty at this time..."

"Why are you playing petty? Aren't we a couple? What's wrong with kissing between couples?"

What Zoe said was well-founded, even she believed it herself.

"If you don't kiss me, I will... I won't tell you the location of the world rune!"

"Okay, little girl, you found this yourself!"

Li Lin lowered his face again, and met Zoe who closed his eyes.

After dozens of seconds, he separated from Zoe, whose cheeks were flushed and she was a little out of breath.

"Too, too exciting... let me take a breath..."

With Li Lin's support, she stood up straight again, but her steps were a little sloppy, as if her body was empty.

Of course, with the physical fitness blessed by the Twilight Protoss, this is impossible. This is entirely a manifestation of Zoe's psychological reaction.

Li Lin kissed her on the forehead again, "Okay, little clever ghost, now can you tell me the location of the world rune you know?"

"Uh-huh!"

She buried her face in Li Lin's chest in a gentle manner, and looked up at him with love in her eyes.

"That world rune should be a cornerstone rune, but I don't know what it looks like."

As soon as the world rune was mentioned, Ryze also turned around and returned to the two of them with a serious expression.

"It's on the island across the sea from this island in the south, and it should be very close to a human village."

"The southern island is Ulin Province, where the terrain is rugged and the population is not large." Li Lin added.

Ruiz nodded. He had traveled almost all over the continent of Ionia, and he knew Urin Province well.

But Zooey blinked, and her strange-colored pupils showed doubts.

"What surprised me the most was that the world rune was very strange. The energy it displayed was extremely clear, and it was difficult for me to open the portal directly to it, as if it was disturbing it."

"It's normal for a world rune to have such an ability. If it's what you said, I think it might be a cornerstone rune."

Li Lin nodded and agreed with Ruiz's statement, "The cornerstone runes on the land of the Firstborn are probably the cornerstone of the witchcraft department."

He turned his head to look at Ryze who was thinking, "You really don't need our help? Maybe we can find the keystone rune and bring it back."

"No need, it's my duty to collect protection runes, I think it's better for me to come in person."

"alright."

Li Lin knew that this "stubborn old man" had completely changed his mentality since the death of his apprentice Kegan Nuohe, so he didn't ask for anything more.

"I have summoned a Chenguang full of supplies, it is now at an altitude of 1000 meters, and there is enough food for you to eat and drink for about two months.

"You can put the pendant on your temple, and then think of the word glasses, and it will transform into a monocle, showing you the morning light from the sky. As for how to call it down, I told you before."

Li Lin quickly introduced relevant supply matters to Ryze: "When you go to a location where the Hexfly gate tower is located, you can call down the morning light and ask the staff to replenish supplies for you.

"You don't have to worry about money, this account will be charged to me, and it will also be included in my assistance to you."

Ruiz took out the pendant, stuck it on his temple as Li Lin said, and closed his eyes.

Within half a minute, a familiar machine quickly descended from the sky and floated in front of him.

Ryze reached out to touch the morning light, and the cold mechanical texture returned to his fingertips.

For a moment, there were mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt inexplicable melancholy, "I don't know how to thank you..."

Zoe has reopened the portal back to Xiongdu.

"You don't need to thank me." Li Lin smiled back when he stepped into it, "After all, our purpose is to protect this world...isn't it?"
