LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 229 The first task

In Piltover, Jayce rested his hands on the table, looked at Viktor in front of him, thought for a moment and said.

"Hey, Victor, do you think this meets Rowan's requirements?"

Victor tilted his head. Not far in front of him, Boom, who had returned to the Twin Cities, was wearing black glasses and had his hair tied into two long braids. He was holding a wrench in his left hand and a screwdriver in his right hand. He and Ike were working together. The two were now designing the latest weapons for the two cities.

Although they did not participate in the battle of Freljord, the people of the two cities now certainly know what kind of guys Runeterra will face in the future. Therefore, at the request of Jace, the two cities are now vigorously developing weapons, striving to create deadly weapons that can even hurt gods.

The interesting thing is that both Jayce and Viktor are not as talented as Zaun's Bombshell in designing weapons.
This is very bizarre, but it is true. After seeing the exploding butterfly designed by designer Boom, Jayce and Viktor were amazed by this invention. They did not expect that Boom could integrate Hextech magic and alchemical bombs into such a small butterfly machine, and also designed automatic tracking and hiding functions. You must know that Boom is just an amateur scientist. She is not like Viktor and Jayce who have received systematic training in professional schools. She even came into contact with machinery when she was about ten years old. Don’t you see that her sister is now a law enforcement officer in Piltover?
But perhaps, it is precisely because Baobao is a wild child that she is not bound by traditional teaching, allowing her thinking to run wild and she was able to create such a weapon?
In short, Baobao's talent is unquestionable, which is why she was immediately invited to the laboratory in the upper city after returning to Zaun. The two cities now need Baobao's talent.

The same is true for Ekko. His talent in weapon design is not as good as Bakash, or even as good as Jayce and Viktor, but Ekko has a very bold idea, which is to change time. He and Professor Heimerdinger are working on the invention, although there has been no sign of success so far.

Victor looked at the screen and nodded. "Well, we publish tasks according to Rowan's instructions, and then count and calculate the points. The points can be exchanged for magic beads, Hex Communicators, or even ask us to help make the games and videos they want."

"But, Jace, do you think what Rowan said is true?" Victor blinked, looked at the names on the list, and said with some disbelief.

Jace thought about it, laughed, and said loudly, "I think it should be true. Rowan didn't lie to us. And didn't you see that the name of the goddess Janna was also printed on it? This list is really counting all the monsters in Runeterra."

"Okay, let's just do what Rowan said. Other things are not our responsibility." Victor took a deep breath and spoke.

Jace nodded.

The two then began to process the software on the new Hexcommunicator according to Rowan's request, a list that only the first batch of Hexcommunicators had.
------

"For the first task, what kind of task do you think would be best?"

"Don't we have to gather people first?" Lux raised her hand and looked at Rowan.

Jax hesitated for a moment, then said, "We must deal with the Darkin as soon as possible. Although they have lost their composure and have been captured by weapons and become crazy killers, they still retain a certain degree of rationality. If the Darkin know that we have gathered together in advance, they will definitely form gangs and factions."

Jax said this because he remembered some things in the past. When Azir died suddenly and Shurima collapsed, the Darkin who had lost their faith swept across Shurima, making Shurima full of war. Therefore, although these guys were brainwashed by "killing", they still had their own self.

In other words, the darkspawn knew what they were doing, but they did it anyway.

Should we say that it is the corrupted mind that amplifies killing and negative emotions?

In short, from Jax's point of view, the Darkin must be dealt with.

Rowan nodded and looked at Lissandra again, but the Ice Witch Mother said nothing and just drank her tea quietly.

Seeing that Lissandra didn't say anything, Rowan didn't click on her. Instead, he looked at Lux who was asking the question and said, "Gathering people is indeed the most important thing, but what Jax said also makes sense. The best situation is that both sides can proceed together."

"Right now, the ones who have signed the agreement, besides us, are Karma from Ionia, Azir and two Ascendants from Shurima, Leona Soraka and the Solari from Mount Targon."

Luo Wen said this, feeling something strange.

He really couldn't hold back when the Protoss signed an agreement or something.

Soraka would join his side because she had never been on the side of the Targon from the beginning, but what about the Solari?
Isn't the Solari the giant behind Leona? She actually signed the agreement?
If Soraka hadn't been out of contact recently, Rowan would really want to find Soraka to ask her what was going on.

"Are you sure that Protoss can be trusted?" Lissandra asked.

"With the agreement, she at least can't attack Runeterra. Even if she can't help us, it's good to have one less enemy, isn't it?" Rowan said.

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Fiona and Riven are not qualified to attend this meeting.

Therefore, in the current conference room are Rowan, Lux, Lissandra, Jax, Kaisa, Poppy and others.

"What's the difference between one less enemy and no less enemy?" After hearing what Rowan said, Lissandra couldn't help but complain.

"What should we do then?!" Seeing Lissandra complaining, Rowan couldn't help but say.

"Forget it. Since you are the one handling this matter, I won't express my opinion."

"Anyway, we sent out the first mission a few days ago. Now, Azir has responded. He will talk to the dragon turtle Ramos and ask it to join us. At the same time, Azir will try to talk to Ixtal and get people from Ixtal to come over."

Luo Wen said as he thought.

Currently, the number of demigods in Runeterra who are willing to fight against the Celestial Realm has exceeded ten. Although it is still small, it is already very good.

Rowan won't be able to run around in a short period of time. Although he possesses the combat power of a demigod, all these things now need to be handled by Rowan, so the task of gathering people can only be left to Lissandra, Jax and the demigods on the list.

Just as Luo Wen continued speaking, a new name suddenly appeared on the list.

1. Spirit sword.

2. God of War.

3. Bluebird.

4. Extreme ice.

5. Wanderer.

6: Goddess of the Fiery Sun.

7: Servant of the Sun Goddess.

8: The Revelator.

9: Tsar.

10: General.

11: Librarian.

The above 11 people are the demigods who have signed the agreement now, and the names that suddenly appeared made Luo Wen rub his eyes.

I saw a name appear at the 12th place on the list - Atreus.

Atreus
"Atreus?"

"Who is this?" "From Shurima?"

Everyone started discussing it, but Luo Wen was ecstatic inside.

Is this real or fake?!

Pan: No, Atreus has joined us too?
Unlike the first 11 guys who used code names, this 12th one used his own name.

Atreus, if you say this name, some people who don’t know the background of the Alliance will definitely not know who he is, but if you say his title, or the name of the previous war star, then everyone will suddenly understand.

"Oh, yess ...

That's right, Atreus defeated Pantheon, obtained the response of the War Star, and became the new War Star.

And like Soraka, he appeared in Runeterra as a celestial being. In terms of strength, Pantheon is better than Leona. With the ignited spark, he is definitely the best among the demigods!
And now, this guy joins us?
A look of joy appeared on Luo Wen's face.

But then, Rowan knew why Atreus had joined.

Because the sixth demigod, the Fiery Sun Star Spirit applied to receive the mission reward.

[I have won over a Protoss. Quick, send me the reward! ]

Looking at the font that appeared on the communicator, Luo Wen's mouth twitched.

Then, Rowan looked up at Lissandra.

As a result, Lissandra turned her head away and didn't look at Rowan.

The first one to complete the task
Could it be the Goddess of the Fiery Sun?
It’s not her, what’s going on?

Two hours ago,

Under the Giant God Peak——

Going south, there is a barbarian settlement. A group of barbarians who fled from the north lived here. Not long ago, they were attacked by a monster and had no choice but to flee here. Now, they are living at the foot of the Giant God Peak, hiding in the forest and gathering troops.

At the bottom of Mount Targon, there are several villages around it. Just like now, Leona entered a village.

Wearing a golden headdress, holding a sword and shield in hand, Leona looked at the shirtless man in front of her, covered with scars and with a firm look in her eyes.

"Atreus, why do you do this to me? We are friends, aren't we?"

"Friend?" Atreus looked at Leona, a hint of mockery appeared on his wild face, and he said, "How can Atreus, who has been defeated in many battles, become a friend of the Goddess of Dawn?"

"Besides, there is no Atreus anymore. All we have now is Pantheon."

With a self-deprecating smile, he looked at Leona neither servile nor arrogant. Unlike the respect and fanaticism in the eyes of other Rakkor people, Pantheon's eyes were filled with indifference. He continued, "Goddess of Dawn, I no longer belong to the Cult of the Fiery Sun. You kicked me out, didn't you?"

Leona showed a trace of helplessness on her face. She lowered her head and said, "I admit that I was not by your side when you needed me the most, but I had no choice, Atreus. You know the situation at that time. You were no longer yourself. I couldn't stop you, let alone defeat him. But you said Atreus disappeared? I don't believe it. The Atreus I know is indeed defeated in many battles, but he also fought again and again. He would never accept failure and always moved forward courageously."

Atreus paused and fell silent.

Leona was right.

That incident cannot be blamed on Leona. It was he who went to the mountain alone. Although he ignited the starlight and was chosen by the stars, he was also abandoned by them.

Pantheon chose him, and then "killed" him.

Because Pantheon thought that Atreus was not worthy of being a war spirit. How could a person who had never tasted victory and was always losing become a war spirit? Therefore, Pantheon seized Atreus' body, descended to Runeland, and used Atreus' body to destroy those powerful beings.

But in the last war, Pantheon was defeated by the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox. Their battle ranged from the sky to the earth, piercing through countless mountains and killing countless people. In the end, Aatrox stabbed Pantheon's chest with his giant sword, destroying the War Aspect.

What's next
Atreus' arm trembled, the power of the Darkin still remained in his body. He won, severed the connection between the blood corpse and the sword. Atreus used his spear to cut off Aatrox's consciousness and won the battle. Although the sword disappeared afterwards and could reappear at any time, at least Atreus survived.

"Atres, I came to see you because the Goddess of the Sun asked me to do so." Seeing Atreus silent, Leona couldn't help but say.

"Hey, it's the Star Spirit again." Atreus spoke, raised his hand, and swept his spear towards Leona. He said loudly: "Go away, you are not welcome here, God."

"I will not fight for the giant gods, nor for the royal power or the sects. Now I only fight for ordinary people."

Leona took a deep breath, raised her sword and shield, looked at Atreus seriously, and said, "It looks like we have to fight first, right?"

It was Atreus's spear that answered Leona.

The star spirit weapons stabbed at the Holy Shield of the Fiery Sun, and with a clang, sparks flew everywhere.

Leona no longer hesitated.

She is indeed a gentle person, and if possible, she is unwilling to fight. However, as she has inherited the will of the Sun Goddess and the power of the sun, how could Leona not have her own temper?

The sun is warm, but at the same time, it can also be violent!

With a delicate cry, Leona exerted force on her feet and pushed forward suddenly, pushing Atreus out. Leona rushed forward and slashed Pantheon with the sword in her hand.

"Why don't you use the power of the stars?" Atreus frowned.

"The difference between you and me is 99 to 0. I don't need to use the power of the stars to deal with you." Leona said loudly.

She is a genius of the Solari. Even without the power of the stars and even if she had not become the spokesperson of the Sun Goddess, Leona is still the most outstanding warrior of the Solari.

Dealing with Atreus
She doesn't need to use that power!
"Come on, Atreus, let me see how much you have improved over the years!"

Atreus grinned grimly. Behind him was the village and Iula's farm. He would not allow powerful creatures to destroy the peace of the village, even if this person was an old friend.

"Come on, Leona."

Swords and spears collided,

This is a battle between genius and mediocrity.
