Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Are we going to string all the clues together? An interesting test."

The corners of Syndra's mouth were slightly upturned, and she put down the magic book in her hand, waving her palm lightly, several books floated out from the shelf:

"The earliest record of the world's runes comes from Fuguang Island, which was transformed into a Shadow Island hundreds of years ago. Before that, it was a gathering place for mages."

A book called "Heria Who Can't Go Back" fell from it and was held in Ryan's hands. The soft sound of turning the book sounded, and he turned to the middle page without stopping:

"Heria, once the most prosperous magical capital of Fuguang Island. There are countless magical associations there, one of which is dedicated to protecting ancient relics, that is, the magical association where Ryze and his teacher belong."

He smiled and looked at the name that appeared on the page. This memoir was written by a mage named Tyrus. On the page he turned to, a ceremony of accepting disciples was recorded.

The apprentice's name is Ryze.

Ryze, the rune guardian he had seen before, was also one of the members that Syndra disdained.

His magic is extremely powerful, and he has good intentions and wants to hide the world's runes forever.

In the end, he even killed his own teacher for his own beliefs.

Everyone in Runeterra has different beliefs. When beliefs conflict, even if the other party is their own parents, teachers and children, many people will choose to be ruthless.

"They are committed to collecting world runes and ensuring that they are not used in wars. The word world runes is named after their association."

Syndra's hand moved slightly, the breeze came, and the page in Ryan's hand slowly turned, about the first 1/3 of the book.

'The runes of the world have unparalleled power, but they are dangerous and could bring destruction at any time. ’

"About 1,000 years ago, the so-called Rune War started. It was the first time that the world's runes entered the war stage. In the records of Noxus, it was called a magical feast."

Ryan closed the pages of the book and lifted it gently, leaving the book hanging in the air.

Immediately afterwards, another book flew into his hands, with the words written in Noxian script:

"A Magical Feast"

Noxus accommodates all who are willing to join, but the land is too barren, which is not conducive to practicing magic. So compared to other places, there are few magic scholars, but there are many historians.

Some people like to record history and hear their own stories from the ears of people from different civilizations. They were called the Historians in Noxus, a group of people who recorded history.

And the author of the book in his hand, Heinos, is a Noxie historian who has personally experienced the Rune Wars.

'The feast began when the mages researched the destructive power of runes and began to use them. ’

It is written on the title page of the book.

The corners of Syndra's mouth twitched slightly, and a scroll written in bioskin fell into her hands. She placed it in front of her, and it still opened slowly:

"The Battle of Reshard, in our collection records, was the earliest war using runes."

On that scroll, a stone shimmering with deep blue light hangs high in the sky, a city is almost in ruins, surrounded by flames, water, lightning, and strong winds.

Disaster is imminent, and all that awaits is destruction.

"That time point was probably 15 years before the founding of Noxus, when a Hylea mage researched the use of the world rune and publicized it."

The page in Ryan's hand turned to page 41, and the handwriting on it was a bit scribbled. It could be seen that the author's thoughts were not calm at that time.

"The method of using the world rune injects a lot of magic and vitality into it, and it will burst out huge energy. It will destroy everything regardless of the enemy or the enemy."

A hint of contempt appeared on the corner of Syndra's mouth, her slender fingers lifted slightly, and another red book fell into her hand:

"After the Battle of Resard, the blue runes reappeared in a war between two kingdoms, about 10 years later. This time, the lineup of mages was unprecedented, with thousands of mages pouring their magic into the world runes. Wen, the rune flew into the sky, and an endless stream of water appeared, engulfing the capital of another kingdom."

The book turned to a page with illustrations, and she bluntly said:

"The mage who released the rune this time didn't pay any price for his life. It can be seen that the previous mage just didn't have enough magic power and were mediocre."

Ryan laughed dumbly, he could understand what Syndra meant. If it is the magic power of the other party, it is enough to be alone.

He is also a mage, but genius and mediocrity are almost two species.

"It's also the "Warmond's Expedition" in your hand. Let's guess that the blue rune symbolizes water, and the other runes symbolize other elements." Ryan said.

Syndra pondered for a few seconds, then frowned slightly between her beautiful eyebrows:

"Elemental magic is the manifestation of this rune. If each rune symbolizes a rule, it should be related to magic or elements. 'Storm Gathering', 'Nullifying Orb', 'Walking on Water', 'Absolute focus' should all fall into this category."

Ryan hung the book in the air again and nodded slightly:

"We might as well tentatively call it an arcane or a sorcery rune."

"Witchcraft runes, mere runes~www.readwn.com~ How can you use arcane words." Syndra set the tone for the name.

"So, where will he be? When I contacted Ryze, I could clearly see his urgency. Although he didn't say it, there were at least 2 runes that he didn't collect." Ryan smiled.

The world rune is their easiest power to control, at least one must be in hand.

"The last time there was a record, it was an expedition diary about a Noxie mage."

The Noxians are the people who live around the immortal fortress. They are the first group of people who founded Noxus, and Ryze also belongs to them.

There are a lot of diaries and books about Noxie in the Immortal Fortress. Almost all the gold and silver property that Ryan obtained is used to exchange books with the people and nobles.

After removing exaggerated and unbelievable ridiculous books, the remaining books that can be placed in the Mage's Tower have their value.

"With this world rune, I will definitely be able to enter Akzam's tomb and uncover the secret of his ability to become the Mage King. Look at this deep blue light, how mesmerizing, I must not let people know that it is there In my hand."

Ryan softly read out one of the words. This is a diary recorded 700 years ago, stored in a Noxie home in the Immortal Fortress, and passed down from generation to generation.

The man of the house was a Noxian soldier named Siko, who had served under him. When he started to collect books, he gave himself the books he had passed down from his ancestors for the first time.

But unfortunately, he died in the battle of Presidian, and was shot into the gap of the iron helmet by the sharp shuriken. He died in an honorable battle.

The shadow stream disciple who killed his soldier had his soul extracted by him. After the war, he did not hesitate to write the profound meaning of "Shadow Stream" into an easy-to-understand note for all imperial people to read at will...
