Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 217 The hero of Demacia! The owner of the hammer!

In the battlefield, Poppy held a long-handled war hammer and collided with Kled.

Although both of them were very short in stature, the noise caused by their battle was comparable to a small flesh and blood storm, and no one within dozens of meters could approach them.

After Poppy joined the Demacia side, the momentum that had been somewhat decadent due to Kled once again became high, and they rushed towards the Noxian army without fear of death.

Until this moment, the battle was truly evenly matched.

But because of this, too many people are destined to die in this battle.

In the sky, Zuo Chi looked at Poppy and Kled who belonged to two countries and were fighting for each other on the battlefield. For no reason, he suddenly discovered something.

It seems that every city-state on Runeterra has a yordle hero, except for Targon and Shurima.

Kennen of Ionia, Gnarl of the Freljord, Kled of Noxus, Poppy of Demacia, Fizz of Port Bey, Vegos of the Shadow Isles, Hemmer of Piltover Dingle and Zaun’s Giggs.

This group of short magical creatures seems to be widely distributed in every place in Runeterra, and is widely involved in every field.

Their nearly infinite long lifespan gives them the capital to witness the growth of humanity in Runeterra, and also allows them to find the city-state that is most suitable for their lives.

Lux was also watching the battle below, and in the end, she chose to take action.

Slowly falling from the sky, the gemstone worn in Lux's long hair began to emit dazzling elemental light, and many magical elements began to surround her.

Finally, her clothes turned crimson, and terrifying flames vented from her staff, rushing madly in the direction of the Noxian soldiers.

This sudden scene immediately confused the Noxian side. They never expected that mages would appear in Demacia's army!

It is precisely because it is certain that mages will not appear in the Noxian army with the ability of mass destruction, so the army led by Kled will be composed entirely of mortal soldiers, and the mage army will be transferred to other battlefields.

But now, an extremely powerful mage suddenly appeared in the Demacia army, and it can be seen from the expressions of the Demacia soldiers looking at Lux that they do not reject this mage at all.

The rolling flames caused the Noxian army, which was composed entirely of mortals, to be defeated in an instant. People's bodies were ignited with flames, and they ran away wailing, but the more so, the more people were ignited by flames.

The Noxian army began to retreat, and soon returned to the edge of the forest.

They knew very well that now they had to either fight to the death or retreat quickly, otherwise even if they were delayed for just one second, they might be left with burning mountains and a stampede from their teammates.

The dull horn sound of Noxus sounded again, and the Noxus side began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Kled also discovered the situation here. He wanted to go over and stop Lux's behavior, but he was tightly restrained by Bobby.

"Poppy, you coward, I will beat you to tears next time!"

Poppy hit the ground in front of him with a hammer, violent earth elemental magic exploded, and rolling boulders rushed out from under the ground, rushing towards Kled like a turbulent wave.

"Kled, I will not be a coward, because I am a girl. I told you this more than a thousand years ago."

"."

For the first time in history, Lord Kled was choked.

He really wanted to ask why girls had hairy faces. It was obvious that only boys had hairy faces, but Kled couldn't ask.

Witnessing the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, Kled finally had no choice but to retreat.

Although he is not afraid of death, it does not mean that he will not take the lives of his men seriously.

"Poppy, you coward, I will come back again. Skaar, let's go!"

In this way, after the first tentative confrontation, the Demacia side temporarily achieved a staged victory on the battlefield at the Silver Refining Mountains.

The war came and went quickly. Although the Noxian army was repulsed, the Demacia side also paid a very heavy price.

Densely packed corpses lay scattered on the battlefield, with charred flesh and coagulated blood scabs everywhere.

The surviving Demacia soldiers all turned their attention to the sudden appearance of the little princess of the Crown Guard family, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Poppy also came to Lux. She looked at Lux with some curiosity, whose appearance had changed dramatically:

"Lux, why are you here? Didn't you go to Galen's side?"

Since she has been on the front line, Poppy doesn't know much about what is happening in the capital of Demacia, but she still understands the importance of Lux to the Crown Guard family, so she is surprised that Lux comes to the front line. .

"And your magic."

Lux squatted down and looked at Bobby with a gentle face:

"Poppy, Your Majesty has lifted the ban on demons. You will know when you return to Xiongdu."

"Is this so?"

Bobby nodded slightly, seemingly not surprised by this, but instead had an expected look in his eyes.

As the founding hero of Demacia, Poppy has witnessed the rise and prosperity of this empire, and is naturally aware of some of the shortcomings within the empire.

At this time, Zuo Chi also came to Lux's side, and his eyes intersected with Poppy's.

The first time their eyes met, Bobby's head shook.

"You are very strong, and I always feel that you have an aura that is very familiar to me. Forget it, I can't remember it, I don't want it anymore."

Poppy withdrew her gaze and looked at the battlefield behind her again.

Looking at the scattered corpses on the battlefield, Poppy's eyes were filled with loneliness and grief.

She didn't want to participate in a war between mortals, but she didn't want to watch her compatriots in Demacia be slaughtered.

Raising his hand and gently brushing the long-handled war hammer in his hand, Poppy murmured softly:

"If we could find the true owner of the hammer, maybe everything would be different. Maybe she would lead Demacia to a victory over Noxus?"

"Oren, my dear friend, I will follow your will. No matter what, I will definitely find the owner of this hammer - the hero who is committed to maintaining the unity and stability of Demacia!"

Poppy's voice was very soft. The memory of her best friend and the tragic death of the soldiers in front of her made her feel a little depressed.

Once upon a time, Poppy left Bandle City in pursuit of order and stability. She was attracted by the emerging city-states in the west of Valoran.

Here, she met her lifelong best friend - Oren!

Oren uses a long-handled warhammer as his weapon. His character deeply attracts Bobby, and Oren is also impressed by Bobby's strength and character.

He became her mentor, and she followed his ideals.

However, Oren is different from Bobby after all. For Bobby, decades may be just a blink of an eye, but for Oren, it is a lifetime!

When Oren was dying, he entrusted his warhammer to Poppy, and at the same time entrusted her with his hope for the long-lasting peace and stability of the country for generations to come.

Only then did Oren tell Poppy the story of the hammer, how it was created, and how it was not destined to be his weapon.

He told Poppy that this holy hammer was created for the "peerless hero of Demacia". Only this person has the ability to exert the true power of this war hammer and protect the unity and unity of Demacia.

Poppy watched her friend pass away and secretly swore to him that she would find the hero and hand over the holy hammer to him.

Now, she has traveled to every corner of Demacia. She has suffered countless hardships, and has also saved countless Demacians with the hammer in her hand, pulling them back from the brink of death.

However, she still hasn't found the hero who can use this hammer.

Thinking of this incident again, Bobby still couldn't help but feel disappointed.

On the side, Lux patted Poppy on the shoulder with some distress:

"Bobby, you can definitely do it. Maybe the person you are looking for will show up soon."

Suddenly, Lux's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she quickly turned around and looked at Zuo Chi in front of her.

"Poppy." Lux shouted excitedly.

Poppy turned her head to look at Lux in confusion: "Lux, what's wrong?"

Lacus kept pointing at Zuo Chi: "Tell me, is Zuo Chi the person you are looking for?"

"Ok?"

This time, Bobby's eyes also lit up.

Lux continued: "Poppy, please tell me the characteristics of the person you are looking for."

Although he was a little suspicious, Poppy still said: "That person is the peerless hero of Demacia. This person has the ability to protect the unity and unity of Demacia. Only he can truly unleash the true power of this war hammer!"

After Bobby said that, Lux said with bright eyes:

"Poppy, Zuochi is the great hero of Demacia, because he single-handedly quelled the rebellion of the mage rebels, and he also killed a terrifying monster that wanted to harm and destroy Demacia. Does this count as maintaining the unity of Demacia?"

Hearing Lux's words, Poppy also looked at Zuochi with hope: "Human, are you the one I'm looking for?"

Facing the hopeful gazes of Lux and Poppy, Zuo Chi sighed softly and said softly:

"Poppy, let me try."

"Okay!"

Without any hesitation, Poppy directly handed the Oren war hammer to Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi changed the star iron sword to his left hand, and then held the long handle of Oren's war hammer with his right hand.

Gently shaking the war hammer in his hand, Zuo Chi's hand immediately lit up with a blazing light. He swung out the hammer, and the war hammer containing immense power slammed into the ground in front of him.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the ground shook and a bottomless ravine appeared in front of everyone.

"!!!"

Poppy, who witnessed all this with her own eyes, was trembling with excitement. Her eyes were fixed on Zuo Chi and her hands were clenched tightly.

"Human, you are the hero I am looking for. It must be like this. I finally found you, and I finally completed Oren's legacy!"

Poppy's voice even stuttered a bit, and one can imagine her excitement.

There is no doubt that Zuo Chi must have exerted the power of this war hammer, otherwise how could he have caused such a huge movement.

However, just when Poppy was almost convinced that Zuo Chi was the hero she was looking for, she saw Zuo Chi shake his head slightly.

"Poppy."

Zuo Chi squatted down and said gently: "Can you let me try my own weapon?"

"Ok?"

Bobby tilted his head blankly: "Okay."

Just like that, under Poppy's doubtful gaze, Zuochi stood Oren's warhammer on the ground and pulled out the star iron sword in his left hand.

The violent power even resonated with heaven and earth. Zuo Chi swung out his sword, and the golden blade immediately slashed towards a mountain in the distance.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the tens of thousands of mountains were torn apart in an instant, the earth began to tremble, and the violent roar spread almost thousands of miles away.

Zuo Chi sheathed his sword and turned to look at Poppy, who was already stunned behind him.

"Poppy, as you can see, this warhammer may not be suitable for me."

Zuo Chi's words kept echoing in Poppy's ears, how could she still not see it.

The reason why Oren's War Hammer can crack the earth is not because Zuo Chi exerts the true power of Oren's War Hammer, it's just because Zuo Chi's own strength is strong.

On the contrary, Oren's Warhammer restricted Zuochi's power.

And this means that Zuo Chi is still not the real owner of Oren's war hammer.

The hope that was close at hand failed once again, and the light in Poppy's eyes dimmed in an instant.

"I'm sorry, human. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

After Bobby said that, she carried Oren's war hammer behind her again.

Although the hammer was almost as tall as two bobbys, she never let the hammer leave her sight and carried it with her almost every moment.

"Maybe I need to search further afield, but before that, I need to help Demacia win this war."

After Poppy said that, she was about to turn around and go to where the wounded were so that she could comfort them in time.

But it was also at this time that Zuo Chi came to Bobby.

He sat down cross-legged in front of Poppy, stuck the long knife on the ground beside him, and then he said with a smile:

"Poppy, can you listen to me tell you a story? When I finish telling it, you can judge for yourself whether the person I am talking about is the person you are looking for."

Poppy still felt a little disappointed, but she nodded slightly.

Zuo Chi said: "If there is such a person now, she has successfully picked up the Oren War Hammer, and she truly regards the Oren War Hammer as her most important thing, and will carry it with her almost every moment. And this People love the land of Demacia, and she will give up her time to relax and travel around this land to save the people living in water and fire."

Listening to Zuo Chi's story, Poppy's eyes lit up and he was gradually attracted to Zuo Chi.

"She came to this country from the very beginning of Demacia and accompanied it to grow from a weak country to a huge empire. During this period, she fought off countless monsters and saved many people with the Oren Warhammer."

"Those people who were saved by her will regard her as an unparalleled hero in their hearts. She has contributed immensely to the unity and stability of this country."

Looking at Poppy, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter in front of him, Zuo Chi felt that she was a little cute.

Sometimes, perseverance is too much, and it is a bit over the top.

However, he still smiled and asked: "Does Poppy think that such a person is qualified to be the master of Oren's war hammer?"

Poppy thought for a moment, recalling the story told by Zuo Chi, and then she nodded seriously:

"This is the true appearance of the hero I am looking for. She is qualified to be the master of the hammer!"

Zuo Chi laughed.

He raised his hand and rubbed Poppy's head. Looking at this cute and serious yordle, he smiled and said:

"If this is really the case, then this person has a very strange characteristic."

"What is it?" Bobby asked curiously.

Zuo Chi came closer to Bobby and whispered: "That's the man who has been carrying the hammer on his back to find the real owner of the hammer. He also likes to ask people when he meets them: 'Have you ever seen anyone who can pick up this hammer?' People answer no. , and then she walked away with the hammer in despair."

"Pfft~!"

This time, even Lux couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Zuo Chi and Lux ​​who were laughing heartily, Poppy was a little stunned for a moment, but she soon came to her senses.

"Human, you mean."

Thinking again about the person Zuo Chi just talked about, Poppy suddenly realized that these things seemed to have really happened to him.

Could it be that I am but how is this possible!

Zuo Chi patted Poppy on the shoulder, stopped smiling, and his tone became sincere:

"Little Bobby, if you want to become more confident, why aren't you a hero of Demacia?"

Zuo Chi stood up slowly, and finally said: "The reason why Oren became close friends with Bobby is because you are the person he has been waiting for?"

After Zuo Chi said this, he did not look back, but walked straight towards the edge of the battlefield.

Lux also understood everything Zuo Chi wanted to express. Looking at Zuo Chi's back, her eyes became watery.

"Poppy, we have to leave. See you after the war is over."

After saying goodbye to Poppy, Lux ran towards Zuochi.

Behind them, Poppy was murmuring what Zuo Chi had just said.

After an unknown amount of time, Poppy hugged the hammer she was carrying behind her back, raising the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing her iconic pointed little tiger teeth.

Then Bobby didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and ran towards where the wounded were.

Setting off from the battlefield again, Zuochi led Lux ​​and rushed straight in the direction of the Gate of Sorrow.

About half a day later, the border between Demacia and Noxus was close at hand.

A magnificent city appeared in front of the two of them. On the city wall, the Demacia national emblem outlined with a sharp sword and wings was declaring to the outside world the true ownership of this land.

However, the atmosphere in the Gate of Sorrow now has reached the extreme level of chilling.

Here, all the real elites of the two empires have arrived, and the war is about to break out, and the outcome of the battle here may also greatly promote the progress of this war.
