Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 198 Shield of Darkness!Let’s go, Demacia!

After witnessing Zuo Chi's powerful magic, the entire city gate area fell into a strangely quiet atmosphere.

Galen looked at the Forbidden Demon Elephant beside him, which was exuding terrifying magical pressure. In all these years, he had never seen Galio in such a form.

At this time, he is like a fully charged war machine. Every forbidden magic stone in his body has been filled with huge magic power. He is just waiting for an opportunity to completely vent it out and give it to the enemy. A terrifying fatal blow.

"Your Excellency, this is an unequal transaction. Can you tell me why?" Galen asked Zuo Chi softly.

He didn't believe that a strong man like Zuo Chi would show favor to Demacia for no reason, so there must be a reason for all this.

Zuo Chi said: "The reason why my friends took action against Demacia was completely deceived by some people. Now that they have seen the true power of Demacia, they will naturally stay away and will never attack Demacia again. Marcia takes action.”

"And the reason why I show favor to Demacia is, firstly, to make up for the mistakes my friend has committed, and secondly, because I want to do business with the Crownguard family."

"Oh?"

This time, Galen's originally tense expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

As long as Zuo Chi is profitable, he is not afraid. What he is afraid of is that a strong man like Zuo Chi will give Demacia a big gift for no reason.

"I wonder what aspect of trade you are referring to?"

Zuo Chi waved his hand noncommittally: "I believe you also know that the living materials in the Far North are extremely scarce, but certain minerals and animal fur resources are very rich. In the future, we will provide Demacia with the resources it needs. In exchange for necessary living supplies.”

"This request shouldn't be nothing to the extremely wealthy Crown Guard family, right?"

After hearing this, Galen's worries had completely dissipated.

He nodded to Zuo Chi: "I can make the decision and agree to your request on behalf of the family. In addition, Lux has always been in charge of the family's business. If necessary in the future, you can talk to Lux."

Following Galen's words, Zuo Chi looked at the blond girl who was always blocked behind him.

And just when Zuo Chi looked at Lacus, Lacus also looked towards him.

Their eyes met, Zuo Chi's performance just now once again appeared in Lux's mind, and for a moment, the curiosity in her eyes almost overflowed.

She really wanted to pull Zuo Chi and ask him why his magic was so powerful, how he controlled the flow of his own magic, and how he released those shocking magics.

If she could be as powerful as Zuo Chi, then she should be able to protect the civilian mages of Demacia.

"If you come to Demacia, you can use this token to find me in the Crownguard family."

Lux handed a golden token around her waist to Zuo Chi and said softly.

Zuo Chi took the token and smiled softly at Lux: "I believe it won't be long before we meet again. By then, maybe I can teach you some tips on using magic."

"real!?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Lux instantly became very excited.

In the family, Lux has many teachers. Some of these teachers teach her how to become a qualified lady, and some teach her how to help the Crown Guard family manage the family business.

However, she has never had a teacher who could teach her about magic, which is why she believed Silas's bewitchment when he just told her some basic magic knowledge.

After all, in an empire like Demacia, knowledge related to magic is undoubtedly a real taboo.

Zuo Chi nodded: "Of course, I believe if I teach you, no one will stop you."

Zuo Chi was very curious about what Lux had been exposed to before, and why after helping her realize her dream, not only could she obtain her abilities or characteristics, but she could also obtain information related to the original demon.

With this premise in mind, Zuo Chi, who originally planned to leave Demacia after getting supplies and rescuing Fleina, also had other ideas.

Now, he is ready to enter this powerful empire surrounded by the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest.

If you want to travel unimpeded in Demacia, having good relations with the Crownguard family is undoubtedly the most perfect way.

This is also the real reason why Zuochi proposed to make a deal with Galen and help them activate Galio permanently.

The Crownguard family's status in Demacia may be much higher than ordinary people imagine. Once you have a relationship with it, everything you do after that will be much easier.

After the deal was concluded, Galen's eyes vaguely glanced at the figure that had retreated to the edge of the city.

Silas!
The culprit of everything before him is undoubtedly the leader of the mage rebels!
From what Zuo Chi said just now, Galen could tell that Zuo Chi didn't seem to know Silas, and they also believed Silas's bewitchment.

Doesn't this mean that Silas has lost any help now.

Not only Galen's side, but the warriors of Winter's Claw were also looking at the livid Silas.

Obviously, the defense strength of Mithril City that Silas described to them was almost completely different from what they saw before them.

Forget about the dozens of extremely well-equipped fearless vanguard soldiers, what the hell is this big stone statue of more than ten meters! ?
If Zuo Chi hadn't appeared in time, all of them would have been smashed into pieces by Galio without exception.

Seemingly noticing everyone's hostility towards him, Silas slowly took a step back and said to Fleina and Sejuani in a sincere tone:

"The appearance of Galen and Lux ​​was purely accidental. Before that, there were really only a few hundred soldiers guarding the city in Mithril City. The accident that happened this time was my fault, but it was definitely not what I wanted."

Silas looked at Zuo Chi's back again. He knew very well that the only person in the field who could make the final decision was this man blessed with terrifying magic:

"Your Excellency, why do you want to make a deal with these lackeys of the Demacia royal family? Why don't you work with me to overthrow the imperial power of Demacia? By then, what you want will be at your fingertips."

Zuo Chi turned around and met Silas' eyes.

Looking at this pale man, Zuo Chi knew the torture Silas had suffered in Demacia throughout his life, so he could also understand why Silas was so obsessed with overthrowing the imperial power of Demacia.

However, he was too extreme and underestimated the cost of overthrowing the Demacia Empire.

He shouldn't have massacred innocent civilians for no reason, let alone considered these transcendent beings like Galio.

Shaking his head slightly, Zuo Chi said softly: "You think too easily."

"Why do you say that!"

Silas still refused to give up, and his voice even screamed at the top of his lungs:
"With your power, as long as you join forces with me, and with our fellow mages, we can definitely overthrow the royal family of Demacia."

"Then let me ask you."

Zuo Chi asked: "What if in the future, during our rebellion, an existence that can compete with me suddenly appears in Demacia, what should we do?"

"Once I am restrained, can you and your fellow mages alone stop the Forbidden Demon Elephant? Can you stop the fearless vanguard army equipped with Forbidden Demon Armor?"

Silas said nothing.

Zuo Chi continued: "Even if you can overthrow the Demacian royal family, what will you do after that to protect the power in your hands, and what will you use to make the army obey the orders of a rebellious person like you?"

Silas remained silent, he didn't even know how to answer Zuo Chi's words.

This was the first time in a long time that deep helplessness appeared in his eyes.

It was like Huang Liang was finally awakened from a dream, and he suddenly discovered that he had really ignored too many things in the past.

In the past, he always felt that as long as he could unite his fellow mages and have unparalleled confidence, he would be able to overthrow the Demacia imperial power.

But now it seems that what I thought was really too simple.

At this time, Zuo Chi's voice sounded for the last time: "Perhaps, in the near future, Demacia can abolish the ban on magic and accept mages as a group?"

This time, not only Silas, but also Galen and Lux ​​suddenly looked at Zuochi, and Lux's hands were shaking with excitement.

Isn't what Zuo Chi just said exactly what she has been pursuing!

"But you are destined not to see it. As the leader of the rebels, you are destined to be chopped into eight pieces by the Demacia royal family."

After Zuo Chi finished speaking, he waved to Galen and the Winter's Claw warriors behind him.

"What should I do?"

After Zuo Chi finished speaking, Galen and Fleina, who were obviously still hostile to each other just now, suddenly looked at each other, and then exchanged a tacit look.

The next moment, Galen and Fleina rushed towards Silas together.

Maybe Galen will not be Silas's opponent. After all, no matter how strong he is, he is still just an ordinary human being. But if Freina is added to the mix, everything will be different.

As a powerful iceborn, Freyna's strength is definitely not comparable to that of Silas, especially at this time, Silas has just been seriously injured by Galio.

Seeing Galen and Fleina rushing toward him, Silas's heart was filled with bitter regret.

However, there is no turning back.

"Galen, even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me!"

Silas's expression was completely distorted. He roared at Galen, swung the chains on his arms quickly, and rushed towards Galen.

However, just when he was about to reach Galen, Fleina also came behind him.

"Bang! Crack!"

The muscles in Fleina's arm collapsed instantly, and she punched Silas's waist. The sound of cracking bones was heard. Silas' body that was rushing forward suddenly stopped, and it was abolished directly to one side. A mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth.

"Despicable foreigner, I almost fell into your trap!" Fleina cursed in a low voice.

Silas rolled a long way on the ground before slowly stopping. He listened to Fleina's curse, and the frustration in his heart almost reached the sky.

Even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't even think about why Galen and Lux ​​appeared in Mithral City!
Of course, what he will never know is that it was precisely because he deceived Lux ​​and caused a large number of civilian casualties. Lux was very hurt, so she returned to the small border town where she and Galen were born to relax.
However, everything seems to be unimportant now, and his death has become a foregone conclusion.

Lying on his back on the cold ground, Silas opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky. The snowflakes fell on his chapped lips, bringing him a slightly moist feeling.

He hates it so much, really hates it.

He hated Demacia's ban on magic, he hated the unfair treatment he and his compatriots had suffered, he hated Winter's Claws and other allies who were unwilling to believe in him, and he hated himself even more for being weak.

If given the chance to come back again, he would give up everything in exchange for strength, just to overturn this unfair world!
The sound of footsteps in his ears brought Silas back to reality. He saw Galen in the distance, and he also saw the sharp sword in his hand that lit up with golden light.

"Silas, it's over!"

When Galen's voice fell, he held the sword blade with both hands and stabbed it towards the ground in front of him. "Yeah, it's over."

Silas slowly closed his eyes, and Lux, who was watching all this from a distance, also closed his eyes, unwilling to see all this again.

The golden sword blade nearly ten meters long suddenly took shape above Silas's head, and then cut through the biting cold wind, piercing Silas's head.

"Buzz!"

In the blink of an eye, the golden sword blade had arrived above Silas's head, and people seemed to be able to imagine Silas's tragic situation.

However, just when the sharp aura wrapped in the golden sword almost cut through Silas's throat, a wave of power suddenly came from Silas' body that shocked everyone.

Under everyone's incredible gaze, a strange light shield emitting purple-black light appeared around Silas' body, helping him completely shatter the golden sword blade!
The next moment, several purple-black chains passed through the teleportation portal and appeared in front of Silas, then tightly wrapped around Silas's body and pulled him into the teleportation portal.

By the time people reacted, Silas's broken body had disappeared in front of everyone.

"!?"

Looking at the direction in which Silas disappeared, everyone present fell into a daze.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed what was happening.

Zuo Chi looked at the place where Silas disappeared just now, recalling the purple-black shield surrounding his body, and frowned slightly.

The shield just now and those purple-black chains were all too familiar to Zuo Chi.

After all, this hero's black shield can be said to be one of the most unique mechanics in the game.

Zuo Chi murmured in a low voice: "Is she on Silas's side?"

Seemingly noticing something strange about Zuo Chi, Lux asked in a cautious voice:

"Hey, do you know what happened?"

Hearing this, Zuo Chi looked towards Lacus: "My name is not Hello, my name is Zuo Chi. Remember, if you make another mistake next time, I will punish you."

"You never said it before, how do I know your name?"

Lux whispered, but then asked: "Zuo Chi, do you know what happened?"

Zuo Chi smiled and asked, "You don't know your own flying-winged protector?"

"what?"

Lux's mouth opened slightly in shock: "You mean, it was the Winged Protector who saved Silas? But I heard from Aunt Tiana that the Winged Protector hasn't appeared for hundreds of years."

Zuo Chi was noncommittal: "Then I don't know. If you want to know, you have to explore it yourself."

"Humph~!"

Lux snorted, a little dissatisfied with Zuo Chi's perfunctory attitude.

It was also at this time that Galen came to Zuo Chi's side, his expression equally solemn.

Silas is the most dangerous felon in Demacia, but he didn't kill him just now. Instead, he was rescued by an unknown force, which made his heart extremely heavy.

But now that the matter was over, it was no longer useful to dwell too much on it. He could only prepare to kill Silas the next time he appeared.

Zuo Chi looked at everything on the scene, and he suddenly realized that the situation in Demacia was so chaotic!

The mages rioted, Jarvan III died mysteriously, and the magic-hunting team arrested mages in Demacia.

Now, even the flying winged patron saint who had disappeared for hundreds of years has appeared.

What surprised Zuo Chi even more was undoubtedly the news related to the original demon - fear.

The level of chaos is comparable to that of Shurima.

Why is there no peaceful place in this Rune Land?

"Oh!"

At this time, the sound of the package landing brought back Zuo Chi's thoughts. He turned around and saw that the soldiers guarding the city had brought all the supplies in Mithril City to the Claw of Winter.

The soldiers guarding the city were brought in by horse-drawn carriages, and there were more than a dozen carts of large and small parcels.

"Your Excellency Zuo Chi, this is all the supplies in Mithril City now. Although they are not much, they are all here." Galen said softly.

When he said this again, he was still a little uneasy. After all, these materials were nothing compared to the energy consumed by Zuochi when he activated Galio.

But what surprised Galen was that Zuo Chi slightly cupped his fist at him:

"Thank you. Today's conflict with Demacia was really just an accident. I hope it will not delay our future cooperation with the Crown Guard family."

Galen also returned the greeting to Zuo Chi: "When your Excellency comes to the Crownguard family in the future, I will definitely show my friendship as a landlord."

"Soon, I believe we will meet again soon." Zuo Chi smiled and patted Galen on the shoulder.

"Then let's say goodbye. As for the specific matters of trade, we will discuss it later when I go to the capital of Demacia."

After Zuo Chi said this, he waved to the soldiers of Winter's Claw: "Bring the supplies, it's time for us to leave."

The soldiers of Winter's Claw stepped forward with excitement and took the reins of the carriage from the defenders, and rushed out of the city gate side by side.

They didn't even intend to return the carriage to Demacia. After all, these horses were destined to be unable to adapt to the severe cold of Freljord. By then, this would also be food.
And just when Zuo Chi was about to turn around and leave, Lux's silver bell-like voice sounded behind him:

"Hey, Zuo Chi, when will you come to the imperial capital? You must keep your promise and teach me magic when the time comes."

"Lux!"

But as soon as Lux finished speaking, Galen quickly interrupted her.

Learning magic openly in Demacia is simply treasonous. How can you say it so blatantly!

Zuo Chi turned to Lux and waved his hand: "See you soon."

Without looking back, Zuo Chi walked out of the gate of Mithril City side by side with Sejuani and Fleina.

Behind them, Galen, Lux, and Galio were all watching their backs. It wasn't until a few people completely disappeared that their tense hearts were completely relieved.

During the long silence, Galen asked softly: "Sister, Sir Galio, do you think he can be trusted?"

Galio's rich voice came: "He seems to have no reason to deceive us? And it doesn't seem necessary."

Lux said: "Go back and ask Aunt Tiana."

"Yeah." Galen nodded.

On the other side, the teams of Zuochi and Winter's Claw have moved away from Mithril City and entered the territory of Freljord again.

"War Mother, come and ride Bingya."

Looking at Sejuani walking out side by side with Zuo Chi, Fleina said.

But who would have thought that her request was directly rejected by Sejuani. She smiled and said: "No, just let Zuo Chi take me to fly later."

Zuo Chi: "."

Fleina: "."

Just like that, under Fleina's envious gaze, Zuo Chi took Sejuani up into the sky and quickly disappeared into the eyes of all the Winter's Claw warriors.

"Zuo Chi, are you going to Demacia?" Sejuani asked Zuo Chi in the air.

Zuo Chi nodded: "The cold winter in Freljord has passed. Now the tribe is not so busy. I am going to take Ashe to Demacia to see it."

As soon as Zuo Chi's words left his mouth, he regretted it.

Because, he found that Sejuani had grabbed his arm, and he saw the extremely obvious emotion in Sejuani's eyes.

"I'll go too! Back then, my mother left a dozen of her blood allies and the tribe for a Demacia noble. I would like to see what kind of magic there is that can make a tribe's war mother Abandon your mission."

After hearing Sejuani's words, Zuo Chi knew that he had no reason to refuse.

However, since we were going for fun anyway, Dose Zhuangni wouldn't have any influence.

"it is good!"

In this way, Zuochi and Sejuani did not go back to Winter's Claw, but flew directly towards the territory of the Avarosa tribe.

One day later, when Zuo Chi returned to the Avarosa tribe, Ai Xi and Kasha quickly ran out of the room and came to Zuo Chi together, looking at him with worried faces:
"Zuo Chi, there is a lot of noise coming from the north of the mainland. What happened there?"

Zuo Chi's brows moved. He knew that Volibear and Nila should have started a war, and the fight was not over yet.

However, if Nila hasn't come back yet, she will miss the first-hand news related to the original demon.

Zuo Chi grinned and took Ai Xi and Kasha's hands at the same time:

"It won't have any impact. It will take some time for Nila to come back. But I have some news to tell you!"

Originally, Ashe was a little confused when Zuo Chi suddenly came back with Sejuani, but now that she was treated like this by Zuo Chi in front of Sejuani, a blush flashed across her face.

However, as the war mother of the tribe and in front of an old rival, Ai Xi calmly asked: "What's the news?"

At this time, Sindra also came to everyone's side and looked at Zuo Chi curiously.

Sejuani looked at the three girls surrounding Zuo Chi, and she realized that these three should be Zuo Chi's blood alliance.

Zuo Chi looked at the girls who had arrived and waved his hand:
"Take care of the affairs in the tribe, leave a letter to Nila, and then, let's go to Demacia!"
