Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 214 Forbidden Demon Stone Forest! The national war is about to begin!

When Zuochi and Soraka returned to the Crownguard family's manor, the sky had not yet completely darkened.

Because Sona was invited to play in the family, the Crown Guard family's manor was still very lively at this time.

However, Lux did not invite any other nobles. It can be said that tonight's dinner is limited to Zuo Chi, Ai Xi, Kasha and others.

The moment she returned to the Crown Guard family, Lux ran towards Zuo Chi holding the hem of her princess dress.

Coming closer, Lux raised her head and looked into Zuo Chi's eyes, and said softly:

"Zuo Chi, where have you been?"

Zuo Chi could tell that Lux must have been carefully dressed today.

She wore a white lace princess dress, white stockings that reached her thighs and white high heels, which made her look taller. Her long golden hair fell to her waist, and her cheeks were lightly painted with makeup and were flawless.

Zuo Chi looked at Lux in front of him and couldn't help but smile and said: "I've known you for so long, this is the first time I've seen you wearing clothes of this style."

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Lux's cheeks turned red. She raised her head and hummed softly:

"I don't want to be looked down upon by some people!"

After Lux finished speaking, she looked at Zuo Chi angrily. It was obvious that she was very angry now.

Zuo Chi had told her before that he would find her again after the war was over, and then he would teach her other elemental magic of her own attributes.

As a result, several days have passed now. Zuo Chi has been staying with other girls during this period, and even dressed Soraka in extremely gorgeous clothes, but she was directly fucked by Zuo Chi. He stood aside and didn't say a few words.

Lux felt a little unhappy when she thought about this.

Zuo Chi leaned back slightly, then pinched his nose with his hand: "Why do you feel someone's words are sour? Lacus, are you jealous of what you ate tonight?"

"You're just jealous!" As soon as Zuo Chi finished speaking, Lux shouted angrily.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she looked into Zuo Chi's smiling eyes. Lux knew that Zuo Chi was teasing her again, which made Lux's already unbearable expression lose control.

"Zuo Chi, you bad guy who doesn't keep your word!"

"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault!"

Zuo Chi looked at Lux's increasingly red eyes and quickly begged for mercy.

"I haven't had time. Originally, I was thinking of going to your place tomorrow to teach you magic."

Lux's tone was choked, and she tilted her head and looked at Zuo Chi suspiciously:

"Really?"

Zuo Chi nodded: "Of course, I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Lux's little face smiled again, but in order to prevent Zuo Chi from thinking that she was being coaxed, she still held her head high and hummed:

"Then I will wait for you in the room tomorrow, and you must not miss your appointment again."

Zuo Chi smiled helplessly: "Okay."

"correct."

After being satisfied, Lux finally remembered the business, and she said to Zuo Chi:

"Zuo Chi, His Majesty just sent someone to bring you news, saying that you should go to the palace when you have time. I guess he wants to reward you."

"Oh?"

Zuo Chi was a little surprised. Wasn't this just giving him a pillow when he felt sleepy?

Even if Jarvan IV didn't look for him, he was still planning to go to the Demacia Palace because of the world runes, but now Jarvan IV came directly to him.

"I'll go over and take a look now."

It happened that the sky was not completely dark yet, and there was still some time before the evening banquet. Zuo Chi took advantage of this time to visit the palace.

After asking Lux and Soraka to say hello to him and Ashe, Zuochi flew directly in the direction of the Demacia Royal Palace.

Just like the consistent style of the country Demacia, the style of the Demacia Royal Palace is also extremely solemn and luxurious, and every detail reflects the wealth of this empire.

He did not encounter any obstacles. The guards almost immediately let Zuo Chi pass by, and those soldiers looked at Zuo Chi who came in front of him with extremely eager eyes.

Zuo Chi did not stay much longer, and led directly to a luxurious building under the leadership of the soldiers.

Walking into the luxurious study room, Zuo Chi saw Jarvan IV sitting in front of the desk. Next to him stood a man with a strong build and a cold and handsome expression.

General Manager of Debon——Xin Zhao!

As a sibling and friend of Jarvan IV's father, Xin Zhao can be said to have watched Jarvan IV grow up step by step.

Jarvan IV calls Xin Zhao his uncle, and Xin Zhao is responsible for guarding Jarvan IV's safety and teaching him many fighting skills.

Once, Xin Zhao, who was born in a coastal city in Ionia, was captured by a Noxus warship and taken into the Imperial Liquidation Arena and became a liquidator. Later, Noxus and Demacia went to war, and Xin Zhao became a liquidator. Became a member of Noxus' cannon fodder unit.

It was Jarvan III who forgave everything to Xin Zhao and took him as his bodyguard against all odds.

Up to now, Xin Zhao has been guarding the Light Shield family for decades.

It can be said that with Xin Zhao by his side, the safety factor of Jarvan III and Jarvan IV will be greatly improved.

Seeing Zuo Chi come in, Jarvan IV stood up, smiled and opened his arms towards Zuo Chi:

"Your Excellency Zuo Chi, it took some time to appease the civilians and kept you waiting."

Zuo Chi shook his head gently: "It's okay, Your Majesty."

After sitting down, Jarvan IV continued: "How is your body recovering? Do you have any plans for the next step? I heard that you have not been in the capital of Demacia for a long time. Why don't you let Lux take you around Demacia? Turn around.”

Zuo Chi looked at Jarvan IV. He knew that Jarvan IV was confirming his next itinerary, and that he was interested in recruiting him, hoping that he could stay in Demacia.

It's just a pity that Zuo Chi obviously can't stay in Demacia for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I came to Demacia with my wife to relax. Now I have been here for a while and I am going back."

"Going back to the north?"

Jarvan IV felt a little regretful. To be honest, after seeing Zuo Chi's power, he dreamed of leaving Zuo Chi in Demacia.

But he also knew that it was impossible for a strong man like Zuo Chi to stay in one place for a long time, let alone to sacrifice his life for others.

"Are you really not going to stay any longer?" Jarvan IV asked unwillingly.

Zuo Chi nodded: "I still need to deal with some other things, so I can't stay for a long time. I hope that your Majesty will not forget the trade between the two countries that you promised me before."

"This is natural, I will let people arrange these things."

Jarvan IV looked full of regret:

"Zuo Chi, you helped Demacia eliminate a huge threat and made outstanding contributions to maintaining Demacia's national security. I don't even know how to thank you."

Zuo Chi's smile became a little inexplicable, and he suddenly took out a simple magic scroll from his arms:

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am actually preparing to go find my teacher during this trip, and he also specifically asked me to come to you to pick up the things he left in Demacia."

"what?"

This time, Jarvan IV was stunned.

He couldn't understand that a strong man like Zuo Chi could actually have a teacher! ?

"I don't know."

Jarvan IV asked in a probing tone: "Who is Lord Zuochi's teacher? What are you planning to take away from Demacia during this trip?"

Zuo Chi opened the scroll in his hand and said proudly:

"Of course my teacher is the famous Archmage Ryze!"

"!?"

This time, Jarvan IV was even more shocked.

"Your Excellency Zuo Chi is actually a student of Master Ruiz?"

Zuo Chi nodded, suppressed the twitching corners of his eyes, and said with a serious face:

"It has been a long time since I said goodbye to my teacher in Shurima. At that time, the teacher and I had a cordial communication."

"If you say so"

Jiawen IV nodded with deep understanding: "From this point of view, it is understandable that Lord Zuochi is so powerful."

"I just don't know what your Excellency Zuo Chi wants to take away?"

Zuo Chi covered his chest in disgust and said in a low tone:

"Not long ago, the teacher sent me a message saying that he was in invincible danger and asked me to immediately take the treasures he stored in Demacia to rescue him."

"And the treasure he placed in Demacia is naturally..."

Zuo Chi paused, then said in a deep voice: "World runes!"

Zuo Chi's tone was extremely serious when he said this, but probably only he knew what he was really thinking.

To be honest, Zuo Chi was not sure whether the World Rune was in Demacia at all, so he said this just to confirm his guess.

But Jarvan IV's reaction directly gave Zuo Chi a definite answer.

Because when he heard Zuo Chi's words, his eyes looked at the door of the room like a falcon. He didn't feel relieved until he was sure that there were only three of them, Zhao Xin.

If Jarvan IV had some doubts about the relationship between Zuo Chi and Ryze before, now he has completely believed Zuo Chi's words.

After all, no one other than Jarvan III and him, the heir to the empire, knew about Ryze storing the world runes in Demacia.

World runes are different from any other magical artifacts. They are the source of all magical elements in Runeland. Even if they are just placed on the ground, they can still trigger the magic within a thousand miles and attract all coveters.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Rune Wars, Ryze must hide it somewhere unknown to the world.

In this case, Demacia's forbidden magic stone became the most perfect material. Before Jarvan IV was born, or even before Jarvan III succeeded to the throne, Ryze began to store world runes in Demacia.

And every time he finds a piece, he will come to Demacia and perfectly seal the world's runes here.

This matter can almost be said to be a top secret between Ryze and the Demacia royal family, and it will never be known to a third party.

But now, a powerful person like Zuo Chi appeared here and revealed in detail the secrets that only Ryze and them knew. Combining the two, Jarvan IV had no reason not to believe Zuo Chi.

To sum up, Zuo Chi is Ruiz's student, and the teacher-student relationship between the two is extremely close, so close that they almost wear the same pants!

It was precisely because of this that Ryze trusted Zuo Chi and asked him to take away the world runes.

"uncle."

Jarvan IV shouted softly, and Xin Zhao nodded understandingly, then walked out of the study, leaving only Jarvan IV and Zuo Chi in the room.

After Xin Zhao left, Jarvan IV looked at Zuochi:

"Your Excellency Zuo Chi, please say hello to Master Ruiz for me."

Zuo Chi smiled and nodded: "When I tell the teacher what happened today, he will be very happy."

"Please come with me."

Jiawen IV slowly stood up and walked to the back of the study first, while Zuo Chi followed him quietly.

Passing through the long and narrow corridor, Zuo Chi followed Jarvan IV deeper into the palace of Demacia.

Zuo Chi looked at everything in the Demacia Palace while guessing where the world runes would be placed by Ryze.

Zuo Chi simply couldn't imagine how happy he would be when he collected five world runes.

After walking like this for half an hour, a huge square with an extremely large area appeared in front of Zuo Chi and Jiawen IV.

This square covers an area of ​​nearly a hundred hectares and is completely white. Just standing on it will make you feel that your magic power is rapidly draining away.

And there are huge Forbidden Stone statues erected at regular intervals around the square, and in the center are five giant statues nearly thirty meters high.

Looking at the square in front of him, Zuo Chi felt something.

Jarvan IV stepped towards the tallest demon-forbidden stone statue in the center of the square, raised his hand and gently touched a corner at the foot of the stone statue.

"Click~!"

The sound of the machine running was heard, the ground began to tremble, and a deep passage appeared in front of Zuo Chi and Jiawen IV.

"Follow me."

After Jiawen IV said that, he walked into the passage first, followed closely by Zuo Chi, walking deeper into the ground.

While walking and in the darkness, Zuo Chi could even hear his own heartbeat that was gradually accelerating.

Zuo Chi knew that he was getting closer to the runes of other worlds.

After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, Zuo Chi suddenly noticed that wisps of light began to come from the front, and the light was gradually expanding.

Finally, it suddenly dawned on me.

A bright and huge underground space appeared in front of Zuo Chi. In this space were countless trees made of forbidden magic stones, and there was no trace of magic element fluctuations in the air.

Jarvan IV took out an object similar to the national emblem of Demacia from his arms, and then gently embedded it into the stone platform on his left.

"Boom!"

The entire space began to shake violently, and the demon-forbidden stone forest in front of the two people automatically separated into a road leading to the central area.

There, Zuo Chi saw five magic-forbidden stone pillars with hollow centers, and many complicated magic lines were engraved on the stone pillars.

Zuo Chi has seen these magic lines before, because the scroll in his hand that can suppress the power of the world's runes has these lines.

And right at the center of the five stone pillars, five different colors of light emitted from them, illuminating a small area around them.

At this point, Zuo Chi could even clearly feel the vibration of the domination runes in his arms.

"Your Excellency Zuochi, the things Master Ryze stored in Demacia are just ahead. Please forgive me for not being able to take you there."

Jiawen IV's voice sounded again, Zuo Chi nodded clearly, and then walked forward.

After walking through the long and narrow path, he finally came to the first stone pillar, and at the same time he also saw the yellow world rune floating quietly in it.

Precision system!

The second stone pillar, the green world rune.

Firm!

The third stone pillar, the red world rune.

The dominance system in Zuo Chi’s hands!

The fourth stone pillar, the blue world rune!

Witchcraft department!

When Zuo Chi came here, he already had four more world runes in his hand.

After being taken out of the Forbidden Demon Stone, these world runes that had been dormant for countless years once again showed their fangs.

The majestic rune magic power entering the sea crazily impacted Zuo Chi's body. This magic power was even somewhat unable to be suppressed by the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest.

Zuo Chi was even sure that if the person standing here was not him, but anyone who had never understood rune magic, even a demigod might not be able to withstand this power of creation.

Staring at the four runes in front of him, Zuo Chi stepped towards the last stone pillar.

The fifth stone pillar, the cyan world rune!

Enlightenment!

However, when Zuo Chi came to the fifth stone pillar, he was stunned.

Looking at the empty hollow stone pillars, Zuo Chi couldn't help but frown slightly.

The rune of enlightenment is on Ryze?

It didn't make sense. Based on Zuo Chi's understanding of Ryze, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to carry the world runes with him for a long time.

Could it be that Ryze hasn't found the whereabouts of the Enlightenment Rune yet?

A look of pity flashed in Zuo Chi's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his emotions.

Although he has not been able to collect all the world runes, he already has four in his hand at this moment. What else can he be dissatisfied with?

At worst, wait until Ryze finds the Enlightenment system before looking for him!

At this time, Zuo Chi stood quietly in the center of the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest. His hands slowly opened in front of him, and four world runes were suspended in front of him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Zuo Chi's heartbeat began to become dull, and his body began to gradually transform into the ascending form of a blue-gold star.

Under Zuo Chi's control, four colors of light merged into Zuo Chi's body.

In an instant, Zuo Chi's body began to tremble violently, and he felt like he was about to burst.

Silk threads of four colors began to flow among the stars and completely connected them together. Zuo Chi's aura of power was growing geometrically.

The next moment, Zuo Chi could no longer suppress his own power, and the surging power was released from his body, sweeping crazily towards the surrounding Forbidden Stone Forest, and dazzling light instantly filled the entire underground space.

Jarvan IV, who was standing at the outermost edge, quickly retreated and huddled tightly in the corner of the passage.

As the energy raged, Jarvan IV even heard the sound of trees in the Forbidden Stone Forest breaking apart due to absorbing too much magic power.

After an unknown amount of time passed like this, Jarvan IV noticed that the energy fluctuations in the space in front of him gradually faded away, and at the same time, a figure appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty, let's leave."

Zuo Chi's smiling voice came, and Jarvan IV subconsciously looked at the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest in front of him.

It was a good thing that he didn't look at it. When he looked at it, the hundred-meter-high ancient demon-forbidden trees closest to him were instantly covered with cracks, and they would explode even if he looked at them again.

Jarvan IV did not dare to think about how terrifying the power would be to achieve this.

From beginning to end, Jarvan IV didn't even know how he left the Forbidden Stone Forest.

After walking out of the Forbidden Stone Forest, Zuo Chi directly chose to say goodbye to Jarvan IV:

"Your Majesty, Lux held a banquet and they are still waiting for me. I won't stay for long and will come to visit again when I have the opportunity."

Although Jarvan IV wanted to keep Zuo Chi very much, he also knew that he had no reason at all.

But it was also at this moment that Jarvan IV's eyes suddenly lit up as he recalled Zuo Chi's words just now.

If you want to retain Zuo Chi, you can not only rely on generous treatment, but also other things!

He already has two wives, so having another one shouldn't have any impact, right?

Even if Zuo Chi cannot be kept, as long as he can form a bond with Demacia, Demacia will definitely be invincible.

The thoughts in his mind became more and more determined, and Jarvan IV immediately walked towards the study where he came from.

However, just when Jarvan IV returned to the study, Xin Zhao walked into the room in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from the front!"

Jarvan IV frowned and quickly stepped forward: "Uncle, read quickly!"

"One of the three members of the Trifari Council of the Noxus Empire - Grand Marshal Darius led the Trifari Army to arrive at the Gate of Sorrow on the border of our country yesterday!"

"Noxian General Kled led the army to attack the Silver Mountains. The front line is asking for support from the empire!"

"Noxus dropped the war weapon Thann on Renwall on our eastern front, and Renwall was massacred overnight!"
