Runeterra is so much fun!

Chapter 3 3 Grandma Lupe
Yuan Chen didn't feel the slightest surprise when he noticed that his regional prestige was directly reduced from level 1's unknown to level-1's repulsion.On the contrary, Yuan Chen knew very well that there were only a few people in Ixtar who accepted outsiders like Aldaen.

The vast majority of people living here have a serious xenophobia, and they are not even willing to touch and communicate with them...

Because of the geographical location and the natural mountain barrier, Ixtar witnessed the fall of the Shurima Empire, the Rune Wars, and the destruction of the Blessed Isle.

Therefore, in the eyes of the civilians of Ixtar, the world and continents outside of Ixtar have long been tragically in ruins due to disease and war.In such a case, the stranger would do no good except that it would bring disease and confusion.To put it simply, it is——stinky land, come to Ixtar to beg for food!

In the entire Ixtar country, only a small number of people know that the outside world has not been destroyed, but a new civilization has developed.

Thinking in this way, Yuan Chen also understood more and more where the rejection in the eyes of these aborigines came from when he followed Ao Daen into the village.

"Don't be angry with them, in fact they are still very good people." Aldane murmured softly from the side: "If it wasn't for Grandma Lupe, I might be like them... No way, this is Yu The decision of the Elders of Ental."

Granny Lupe?

Hearing this name, Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows - he had an impression of this name, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Perhaps because of time travel, Yuan Chen has a particularly deep memory of the League of Legends universe.But this profundity did not bring much prophetic vision to Yuanchen, because the League of Legends universe itself has experienced many restarts, and even the background stories of the heroes have been changed several times...

For example, the weapon master, his weapon used to be an ordinary street lamp.

In addition, this game itself is a MOBA game, which is not as good as mmorpg games, such as Warcraft, Guild Wars, and JX III. Generally, the update of the plot can deepen the player's understanding of the background world of the game.

Therefore, until Yuanchen traveled to this world, the background stories of some old characters in the League of Legends were still being deleted, edited and restarted...

Before time travel, Yuan Chen was still very willing to accept this kind of restart.Because according to what Yuan Chen knows, Riot has been developing an MMORPG with Runeterra as the background of the game.

Although it is completely unknown whether the glory of the League of Legends can be replicated, and it is even more difficult to surpass the historical status of Warcraft in the game world, but with the League of Legends as the foundation, the audience will obviously not be lacking... For this reason, Yuan Chen is willing to wait for Runeterra The basic background story of the game is perfected, and then the local conditions and customs are deeply experienced in the MMORPG of Runeterra.

But now... Fuck, this constantly deleted and edited background story makes it impossible for Yuan Chen to use the foresight that a traveler should have, and quickly become stronger through information differences.

Among other things, the primitive jungle of Ixtal, although its magic technology belongs to the top level of Runeterra, does not have a separate faction logo in the League of Legends card game... This is in mmorpg, just It is the emergence of this ancient dictatorship empire that is enough to become a major event that supports a version update.

but now……

I have only heard about Grandma Lupe's name, but I don't have any more impressions. Yuan Chen can only confirm that he appeared in the background story of the Ixtal region.But other than that... you can only explore by yourself.

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen remained silent, followed Ao Daen without saying a word, and walked towards the tallest house located in the center of the village.

In the process of walking, Yuan Chen could clearly feel the civilianization of elemental magic in Ixtar... One person is tall, and two people hug such a huge stone, and it takes at least three or four people to work together to carry it. .

But under the original axiom—similar to the summary of the Ixtar people's rules for elemental magic, even an ordinary person can easily carry three or four such large stones for walking.It looks like it is carrying a slightly larger feather.

Stonemasons, too, and fishermen like Aldaan.

Although magic cannot guarantee the number of mortals, it can increase the efficiency of farming and hunting.Not to mention an old fisherman like Odane who has been out to sea for a long time, even a novice spearfisher can easily obtain fish by simply using the axiom of water to create an undercurrent that is beneficial to him underwater. get.Not to mention that experienced fishermen can directly make water wave helmets and dive into the seabed to get more things.

In the outside world, especially in the Valoran continent, it belongs to the dignitaries, and the magic of the ruling class is so simplified.Through studying and summarizing its nature and laws, it compiles "primary axioms" that even ordinary people can easily understand... Science is so great no matter which world it is in.

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen subconsciously opened his palm and sensed the flow of magic power in the air.

After noticing Yuan Chen's actions, Ao Daen also showed a smile on his face:
"It's amazing, isn't it? If you can get Grandma Lupe's approval, you can also study together. It's just that for more advanced knowledge, you may have to go to the central tower of Ixalcan. Where is the most important place in Ixalcan?" Wise masters of the elements."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded, and became more curious about the existence of Grandma Lupe... Because through Ao Daen's words, Yuan Chen could clearly feel that the so-called Grandma Lupe might not be just a A powerful elemental mage... If so, why did she stay in this small village?
Yuan Chen glanced around, there wasn't even a small magic tower here.Even if one is living in seclusion, the atmosphere of Ixtar should also be used to communicate magically with the outside world from time to time, right?There is absolutely no need to stay here for a long time, right?
Just as he was thinking, Yuan Chen came to the big house in the center of the village.

Prying the wooden door, Aldan said loudly:

"Grandma Lupe! I picked up a lost man on the coast and brought him to meet you!"

After Odaen's voice fell, not long after, an old but full of spirit voice came from the room, with a little dissatisfaction in his words.

"Outsider? Odan, you stupid boy! If other people see you, you will have to sweep the village road for a month!"

"It's okay grandma!"

Hearing Grandma Lupe's words, Aldane smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's a scholar from Ionia! I saw him dance with the water element on the sea in a way I don't understand! "

"Scholar, dance with the water element?"

Hearing Yuan Chen's identity and behavior, the mysterious person named Grandma Lu Pei seemed a little surprised, and then, the door of the original confinement slammed!It was blown away by the swift wind, revealing an old lady with white beard and hair, holding a scepter in her hand, and wearing a dark green silk robe.

The old lady was sitting on a rattan-woven rocking chair, holding a slender cane in her hand.Although he is old, he has an indescribable spirit in his appearance.A pair of bright old eyes looked at Yuan Chen, the eyes were full of interest.

After seeing the clothes on the old lady's body, Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and became more serious in his heart.

And this fleeting change was noticed by the old man named Grandma Lupe.Without hiding her thoughts, Grandma Lu Pei asked directly: "What's the matter? Stranger? You seem to know me?"

"No, this is the first time I've seen you, but I recognize your clothes."

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Grandma Lu Pei was silent for a moment and then said meaningfully: "You... seem to know a lot of things?"

While speaking, Grandma Lupe stood up.Walking barefoot on the wooden floor of the big house, she came in front of Yuan Chen. Although her height was not as tall as Yuan Chen's, the old lady's spirit was exceptionally good, with a kind of tenacity that gritted her teeth and persisted after recognizing the current situation of life.

And the clothes on Grandma Lupe's body further prove the extraordinary origin of this old lady...

She was wearing a light green silk gown with a cane in her hand. Ixtal has a tropical rainforest climate, but this kind of gown didn't look abrupt and dull on the old man's body. On the contrary, the silk gown flowed pure The magic wave is extremely delicate and breathable without weight, just like a person's second skin.

And the material of this robe... Yuan Chen has seen it before.That's right, it's the material of the emblem on Aldan's shoulder.

However, unlike the size of the emblem on Aldan's shoulder, the entire robe worn by Grandma Lupe is made of the same material.

In other words, no matter what it is now, the old man in front of him is definitely an elementalist of the ruling class of Ixtar, and a member of the Yuntar elders.Otherwise, ordinary elementalists are not qualified to own such a set of clothes.

"Say what you know."

"As you wish." Hearing this, Yuan Chen briefly contemplated his speech, and then said:

"It is said that in the capital of Ixtal, there is a huge empty room inside the central giant tower of Ixalcan. The location of this empty room is extremely special. The great elementalists of the ancient times designed it in Ixtal, Even the magical nodes of the entire Runeterra, as well as the geometric center."

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Audun showed surprise on his face, and then looked at Grandma Lupe, as if asking—is what he said true?

Regarding this, Grandma Lu Pei did not speak, but just watched Yuan Chen quietly.It seems to be wondering what else Yuan Chen knows.Seeing this, Yuan Chen continued to say:

"And above this empty room, hangs an ancient sacred object of Ixtar, which is a magic loom capable of weaving magic into physical entities—Vidalian!"

"And if you want to become a great Yun Tal elder, you must pass the test of Vidalian. And the content of the test is..."

"enough!"

Hearing that Yuan Chen told everything he knew in detail, even when he was about to tell the content of Vidalian's test, even Grandma Lu Pei couldn't help but change her expression for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face. Rong, then the directory said seriously:
"How do you know all this? Could it be that after I left, the current Youxutar is willing to share such secrets with outsiders?"

"No, it's just that I'm special."

Yuan Chen spread his hands.

"How special? I don't think those elemental envoys will tell you this important secret just because you are special!"

"Like I'm a half-prophet?"

"..."

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, not only Grandma Lu Pei, but even Ao Daen on the side opened their mouths in surprise.After being silent for a while, Grandma Lupe took a few steps back, looked at Yuan Chen's figure, and said after scrutinizing for a moment: "No... aren't you a scholar from Ionia? Became a prophet?"

"That's not a conflict, is it?"

"..." Granny Lupe nodded after hearing the words, and then said: "Then tell me what the Vidalian test is. Don't try to fool me, I know what the Vidalian test represents! If you Dare to try to deceive, and your next stop is the lair of the elemental drake."

Hearing this, Yuan Chen put his head in the past, and whispered what he knew to Grandma Lu Pei——

In fact, Yuan Chen does not need to lower his voice, because Yuan Chen can clearly feel that when he leans over, the surrounding breeze will seal the two of them around, so as to ensure that no sound can pass through, let alone be heard by a third person. I heard, unless that person's attainments in elemental magic far surpassed old lady Lupe.

In fact, Vidalian's test is not as harsh as people imagine, because Vidalian itself is a huge magic loom, which weaves the highest ruling class of Ixtar, the royal family and the Yuntals. The embroidered clothes on the body.

When the apprentices are preparing for the exam to hone their magical abilities, but when they really face Vidalian, they will encounter an unacceptable truth, a fact that is hidden from all Ixtarians:
Ixtar wasn't the only civilization that survived the Rune Wars, and Runeterra beyond Ixtar's borders wasn't an uninhabited wasteland.The testee's reaction to this fact is the ultimate test.

If the test is passed, Vidalian will spin the magic of the tester to form a robe that is composed entirely of magic power but has a physical entity, as a status symbol for the tester to become a master of elements.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Chen heaved a sigh of relief the moment he saw Grandma Lupe's clothes - he was wearing a Vidalian robe made entirely of magic power, which meant that Grandma Lupe knew very well that the outside world Not just diseases and wars, but civilizations that flourish as well!
And after hearing Yuan Chen tell Vidalian's test, Grandma Lupe's expression became extremely complicated.

"Leaving aside the identity of the prophet, as an outsider, it is not so easy for you to integrate into this place... So, are you ready to accept the test?"
