Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 213 The whereabouts of the other key!

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, under Soraka's somewhat confused gaze, Zuo Chi walked out of the room with thick dark circles under his eyes.

Looking at Zuo Chi's appearance, Soraka's ears in her long light green hair swayed, and she couldn't help but ask:

"Zuo Chi, why do I feel that you seem to be getting weaker the more you rest?"

Zuo Chi staggered, and he quickly said with a serious face: "I encountered an enemy last night, and I tried my best to defeat them."

"what?"

Hearing this, Soraka quickly came to Zuo Chi:

"Are you injured? Why didn't I sense an enemy approaching? You must remember to call me next time something like this happens. Although I can't help you kill the enemy, I can help you behind your back!"

Zuo Chi: "???"

Zuo Chi actually wanted to believe that Soraka was expressing his good intentions. If the situation were different, Zuo Chi would definitely be moved to tears.

But why is it so strange to say this in this situation!

How strange it sounds!

Soraka, I have no strength left, please help me push.

In the room behind Zuo Chi, Ashe and Kaisha were still sleeping under the quilt like two lazy kittens. Zuo Chi closed the door without leaving a trace, took Soraka's hand and led her forward. Go.

Soraka let Zuo Chi pull her, the golden horn above her head shining with bright starlight.

The starlight fell on Zuo Chi, bringing some warmth and strength to his weak body.

"Zuo Chi, shall we go find that treasure chest?" Soraka asked expectantly.

Zuo Chi looked at Soraka, looked her up and down, and then nodded:

"Let's go, I also want to see what is in this box that is regarded as a treasure by the top ten original demons."

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Soraka's steps became a little more cheerful:

"Then let's go back quickly. Lux said that the Crown Guard family invited Miss Sona to perform at the manor tonight. If we come back quickly, we can catch up with Miss Sona's performance."

Following the route on the sheepskin scroll in Zuo Chi's hand, Zuo Chi turned Soraka into a stream of light and flew out of the capital of Demacia.

It can be seen from the map that Fiddlesticks responded to Silas's call immediately after breaking out of the seal and landed directly in the capital of Demacia.

This also makes it extremely simple for Zuochi and Soraka to find Fiddlesticks's sealed place.

Starting from the capital of Demacia, the two of them headed north, passing many Demacia cities along the way.

Finally, after half a day, the two figures appeared on the outskirts of a small town.

Forsbarrow, where Silas and his mage rebels once stood!

At this point, the road map has come to an end, and there is only a crudely drawn teleportation portal left in front of it.

Standing on the outskirts of the town and looking around, Zuo Chi and Soraka couldn't help but frown slightly.

The two of them could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the town was extremely depressing at this time. People were walking on the streets like zombies, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely frightened.

"Zuo Chi."

Soraka turned to look at Zuochi: "Their state is very wrong, it seems"

"It's like being possessed by a demon, right?" Zuo Chi took over Soraka's words with a smile.

Soraka nodded blankly: "How do you know?"

Zuo Chi once again took out the devil's catalog. On it, the short section belonging to the nightmare was still shining with a deep black light.

"Because he was run away by a fish that slipped through the net before, but I didn't expect that he would dare to stay in Demacia!"

"I just happen to be worried about not being able to find the portal. Isn't this the guy who leads the way?"

Zuo Chi said as he walked into the town.

After completely letting go of his mental power, Zuo Chi felt that all the disturbances within a thousand miles radius were presented in his mind.

Zuo Chi's eyes shone with colorful light, and scenes in the spiritual realm began to appear in front of him, and then he rushed straight in a certain direction.

At this time, all the hairs on Zuo Chi's arms had stood up, and a dark figure running away crazily appeared in his senses!

"Are you waiting for me?"

Although Zuo Chi's body was extremely weak now, it was by no means comparable to Nightmare. It took almost only a few breaths for Zuo Chi to appear behind the black shadow.

In front of Zuo Chi, Nocturne felt the creepy aura coming from behind. He suddenly couldn't tell whether he was a demon or Zuo Chi was a demon.

Just a few days ago, he witnessed the arrival of his master with an ambition as high as the sky. At that time, he had even imagined that the master would turn the entire capital of Demacia into a scorched earth.

However, everything he expected didn't happen.

He witnessed Zuo Chi's terrifying power with his own eyes, and even saw Zuo Chi team up with another original demon to devour his master alive!

Nocturne simply couldn't imagine what kind of power it would take to achieve this step.

Fortunately, after killing his master, Zuo Chi also lost the ability to continue fighting, and he was able to escape.

Originally, Nocturne wanted to leave Demacia directly, but he chose to listen to what humans say, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Because in his expectation, with a strong man like Zuo Chi, he would leave soon. Even if he didn't leave, he would never come to this extremely remote town of Fosbello.

That way, he can continuously absorb the nightmares of the residents of the town.

But things change forever, and just when Nocturne started to regain his power, the man he, the nightmare demon, called a nightmare appeared in front of him!

Feeling the big hand behind him getting closer and closer to him, Nocturne suddenly felt his heart change. He stopped his forward movement, froze himself in place, and then turned to look at Zuo Chi behind him.

Zuo Chi was also stunned by his actions and couldn't help but retract his hand, looking at Nocturne with only a blade in front of him with a playful expression.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

Nocturne didn't say much. He crossed his arms and leaned down:

"I would like to surrender and become your strength."

At this time, how could Nocturne not see that he was on the verge of death? Life or death was entirely a matter of Zuo Chi's thoughts.

He is not Fiddlesticks. The original demon will never die, but he is indeed mortal, and it is impossible to be resurrected after death!

Rather than die like this, Nocturne thought it would be better to live on.

Although it is relatively rare for a high-level demon like him to surrender to others, there is only one way to go now.

"Oh?"

Zuo Chi tilted his head in surprise. He didn't expect that the demon in front of him would be so sensible.

"What can you do for me? I need to understand the value of your existence." Zuo Chi said lightly.

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Nocturne was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Nocturne said in a hoarse voice: "I am willing to do my best to become your most loyal slave."

Zuo Chi looked down at Nocturne in front of him. In the next moment, he suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed the throat of the demon in front of him.

The majestic power of soaring appeared on his arms, and the most powerful power began to burn Mo Teng's body. Soon, the black energy on his body became extremely dim.

Raising his other hand, Zuo Chi put his finger on Nocturne's eyebrows and sent a ball of strange rune light into his body.

"You better tell the truth!"

After doing all this, Zuo Chi let go of Nocturne's hand, and at the same time he raised the sheepskin scroll in his hand towards Nocturne.

"Take me to where this portal is. Don't tell me you don't know where this is."

Zuo Chi could clearly feel that Nocturne's body shook violently when he saw the portal on the sheepskin scroll.

After witnessing all this, Zuo Chi became more determined in his thoughts.

Nocturne looked at the scroll in Zuo Chi's hand, and then looked at Zuo Chi. After a long time, he said slowly:

"I'll lead the way for you."

Although he was shocked at how Zuo Chi knew about this teleportation portal, Nocturne had no other choice but to lead the way for him.

In this way, after letting Nocturne lift the curse on Forsbarrow, Zuochi and Soraka followed Nocturne and flew deep into the town of Forsbarrow.

In the deepest part of the town, a group of tombs appeared in front of Zuochi and Soraka. This seemed to be where the residents of the town buried their dead.

Zuo Chi and Soraka waited quietly, while Nocturne came to one of the low tombs, raised his arms, and bursts of black air slowly flowed into the tomb.

Zuo Chi and Soraka witnessed this scene, and they couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Thanks to meeting Nocturne, otherwise if the two of them were left alone to search, I really don’t know how much time it would take.

As Nocturne's black energy flowed into the tomb, a slowly rotating black teleportation portal slowly emerged in front of the three of them.

This teleportation portal is the same as the one on the sheepskin scroll in Zuo Chi's hand.

"My master, what you are looking for is behind this portal." Nocturne said respectfully.

Zuo Chi didn't say anything more, and let Nocturne lead the way and stepped into the teleportation portal.

The light in their sight quickly dimmed, and Zuo Chi and Soraka only felt that they appeared in a mysterious space without any energy or light.

Soraka raised the staff in her hand to summon rays of starlight, and at the same time they also saw the low tomb that was completely exploded in the center of the space.

Zuo Chi and Soraka stepped forward. They saw the tombstone that had fallen down in front of the tomb, and they also saw the black box with an extremely simple appearance that was half buried in the soil.

Zuo Chi did not pick up the box in a hurry, but looked at Nocturne beside him.

"Nocturne, do you know what's in this box?"

This time, Nocturne did not hesitate, but said directly: "This box has existed since I was born. Perhaps except for the nine adults who are at the same level as the owner, no one knows what is in it."

The meaning of Nocturne is very simple. Apart from Fiddlesticks and other original demons, it is impossible for anyone to know what is in it.

After listening to Mo Teng's words, the curiosity in Zuo Chi's eyes became more intense.

Being able to be treated like this by the fear of the top ten original demons, what should be hidden in this?

Without saying anything more, Zuo Chi leaned over and lifted the box out of the soil, looking at it carefully.

The box was heavy and simple in appearance. It was made of unknown materials. There were some patterns engraved on the outside that Zuo Chi couldn't understand.

Apart from these, what attracted Zuo Chi's attention the most was undoubtedly the two keychains, one big and one small.

Looking at each other with Soraka, Zuo Chi took out the key that Fiddlesticks had been carrying on his chest.

When Nocturne saw the key in Zuo Chi's hand, his body couldn't help but tremble. There is nothing more creepy than the body parts of a superior demon.

After comparing the key close to the keyhole, Zuochi finally inserted it gently into the larger hole below.

"Click~!"

Turning the key gently, a crisp sound came out. Zuo Chi tried to open the box, but found that it still could not be opened.

He was about to pull it out from the lower hole and wanted to insert it into the upper hole, but found that he couldn't insert it at all.

Zuo Chi took a deep breath, his face full of helplessness and frustration.

After going around in circles for so long, with so much effort, and full of expectations, in the end I failed to open the treasure chest in front of me.

"Qiang~!"

The Xingtie sword was unsheathed, and Zuo Chi was immediately ready to split it open.

The sharp blade carrying the terrifying power of ascension slashed down violently. The entire space was completely illuminated at this moment, and Nocturne quickly retreated far away.

However, just when Zuo Chi's blade was about to hit the treasure box, the complex patterns on the treasure box completely lit up at this moment, and a series of bloody hexagram arrays appeared on the surface of the treasure box, completely removing the power carried by Zuo Chi's long sword. Devour!

No matter how Zuo Chi chopped, these magic formations seemed to never fade away, leaving him with no way to start.

Soraka looked at Zuo Chi's busy figure and said softly: "Zuo Chi, actually we just need to find another key."

Zuo Chi stopped what he was doing and looked at Soraka with his eyes flashing with inexplicable light:

"But Runeterra is so big, where should we look for it?"

Zuo Chi came to Soraka, put his face close to her, and looked into her eyes:

"Does Soraka know?"

Suddenly being treated like this by Zuo Chi, Soraka couldn't help but take a small step back, her eyes a little dodgey.

But she still said: "I do have some news here."

"Oh?" Zuo Chi tilted his head in surprise.

Soraka continued:

"I don't know how many years ago, and I don't know which Twilight Star, she once stole a key from a great demon that caused trouble in the world."

"Later, she ascended to heaven, and the key became a legacy of the Twilight Stars and was passed down from generation to generation. I think the key must have belonged to this demon."

Zuo Chi's eyes moved slightly: "Soraka means that the other key to unlocking this treasure chest is in the hands of the contemporary Twilight Stars?"

Soraka nodded: "The name of the contemporary Twilight Star is Zoe, and I did see a simple-looking bronze key from her."

"Zoe?"

For some reason, Zuochi suddenly thought of Aatrox in the Shurima Empire.

This is thanks to Aatrox not being here, otherwise Zoe might have destroyed the nine tribes.

Although it was not Zoe who sealed the Darkin in the first place, it was obvious that Aatrox would not care about it.

He didn't know exactly which Twilight Star spirit sealed them, but he only remembered one name, and that was - Twilight Star Spirit!

Seeing that Zuo Chi didn't speak and was just chanting Zoe's name, Soraka said softly:

"Zuo Chi, maybe we can go to Mount Targon to find Zoe? I am willing to accompany you."

This time, Zuo Chi restrained the light in his eyes.

He just stared at Soraka in front of him quietly with his eyes as dull as dead water.

Soraka was a little flustered by Zuo Chi's sight. She raised her hand and pulled Zuo Chi's clothes:

"Zuo Chi, what's wrong with you?"

Zuo Chi said calmly: "Soraka, before going to Mount Targon, do I still need to go to the Demacia Palace to find the remaining four world runes?"

Soraka was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling a little flustered, but she still nodded.

"That can be safer. After all, more power means more protection."

Zuo Chi continued to ask: "What about after we get to Titan Peak?"

At this time, Zuo Chi almost forced Soraka into the corner, and Soraka even had no room to retreat:

"Soraka, from the time you appeared until now, you seem to have been trying to guide me to Mount Targon."

Zuo Chi slowly raised his hand, and his hand completely transformed into the shape of a blue-gold star, and the aura belonging to Aurelion Sol spread completely.

"You know that I have his power, right? You also know what the consequences will be for me and him if I appear on Mount Targon."

"The Titans will never allow Thor to do anything out of the ordinary, and once I show up at Mount Titan, I'm afraid my only fate will be to be wiped out."

Listening to Zuo Chi's cold tone, Soraka was choked up. Her face was full of panic and she began to shake her head rapidly.

"No, that's not it, Zuo Chi, that's not what I meant!"

Zuo Chi didn't speak, just looked at Soraka quietly.

Zuo Chi has seen all of Soraka's abnormal behaviors during this period. Zuo Chi even felt that Soraka had long expected that she would need the key in Zoe's hand, so she appeared at the right time and Guide him step by step towards Mount Targon.

If things were not what Zuo Chi thought, it could only be said that this was all too much of a coincidence.

Meeting Zuo Chi's eyes, Soraka pulled Zuo Chi's clothes tightly and said anxiously:

"Zuo Chi, I have never thought of revealing your secrets to the giant gods, and I have never had any thoughts of hurting you. I even"

At the end of the sentence, Soraka's voice became softer, as if even she didn't believe her own words.

"I even hope that you can mediate the relationship between the dragon and the giant gods."

"I can feel that the giant dragon may break away from the control of the giant gods soon. By then, too many people will die. I don't want to see anyone die."

At the end of the sentence, Soraka seemed to be too anxious. Her face turned red and her breathing became rapid.

After Zuo Chi heard Soraka's words, he was stunned.

He looked at Soraka blankly, then pointed at himself:

"Meeting the relationship between Aurelion Sol and the Titans. Huh? Me?"

Let Benboba kill Sun Wukong and Xing Daorong fight Lu Bu, right?

Although Zuo Chi has never seen a real giant, it can be seen from the two points of being able to create the crown that trapped Thor and the expedition to the star field that the giant is definitely extremely powerful, and even worse than the worst. The highest level in Runeterra.

They were a group of terrifying beings with a single thought, and in the end, he was asked to mediate the relationship between them.

Zuo Chi suddenly felt that it was more likely that the Titan Clan wanted to trick him into going to the Titan Peak to kill him.

It seemed that Soraka also realized how appalling her words were. She explained: "At least we can try. Zuochi, I really don't have any intention of harming you. You have to believe me."

By the end of the sentence, Soraka's eyes had become watery, and her hands were tightly grasping Zuo Chi's clothes.

Zuo Chi looked at Soraka in front of him, and listened to her anxious explanation, and couldn't help but feel a little softer in his heart.

However, he still asked: "What if I go to the Titan Peak and the Titan notices my power?"

"Will not."

Soraka said confidently: "Zoe will directly isolate the aura of power on your body, and the giant god will not notice it."

"So, Zoe is also involved in this matter?" Zuo Chi asked again.

In order to make Zuo Chi believe in herself, Soraka tried her best to explain:

"Zoe is the most powerful star spirit in history. She has completely inherited all the power of the Twilight Titan. It can even be said that she is no different from the Titan. Because of this, she has become the cosmic messenger and giant of this generation. Dragon Watcher.”

"She also doesn't want to see the giant dragon and the giant gods completely fall out, so she will definitely not let the giant gods discover you."

Hearing this, Zuo Chi's expression gradually softened, and he also knew that he had wrongly blamed Soraka.

Taking a long breath, Zuochi looked at Soraka with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry Soraka, I misunderstood."

"no no."

Soraka shook her head quickly: "I didn't think carefully. I just recalled what I did during this period. From your perspective, it is indeed easy to misunderstand."

After saying that, Soraka stood up on tiptoes and straightened Zuo Chi's clothes that were a little wrinkled by her, and whispered at the same time:

"Zuo Chi, I'm very happy that you are willing to believe my explanation."

"then we"

Zuo Chi couldn't help but look up at the sky and said softly: "Let's go to Mount Titan sometime. I happen to be very curious about what is in this box."

Hearing this, Soraka's face was full of surprise.

She shook Zuo Chi's arm happily:

"Thank you, my child!"

Zuo Chi rubbed Soraka's furry ears fiercely: "Call my name!"

On the side, listening to the conversation between Zuo Chi and Soraka, Nocturne felt confused.

For him, a native demon in Rune Land, he had no idea what the two were talking about.

It was also at this time that Zuo Chi looked at Nocturne.

"Stay here, I will be back soon!"

"Yes, Master."

Nocturne nodded quickly without falling.

After doing all this, Zuochi and Soraka left Forsbarrow and once again rushed towards the direction of the capital of Demacia.

Zuo Chi looked at the scene that flashed before his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder where the world runes would be hidden by Ryze in Demacia.

If he took away all the world runes, would Ryze pull out his hair in a hurry?
