Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2265 Indivisible Part

The strength and upper limit of magic energy gathered by magic runes may not be as good as magic crystals, but they have advantages such as stability, low cost, and large quantity. This is the basis for the rapid development of the Glorious Church after Lin Jiu left the Rune Land.

Although the magic crystal is powerful, it is also very dangerous, not only in terms of the risk of losing control, but also in terms of the impact on personality. Victor himself has undergone a glorious evolution through the Hex Core, so he has a lot to say.

After starting the Glorious Evolution, Victor often felt that an unknown consciousness was affecting his thinking. It was only after he came into contact with magic runes and combined magic with technology that he was able to eliminate this negative state. After much research, Victor learned about the existence of the Shell People and their relationship with the magic crystals, the raw materials of Hex Crystals.

The purpose of the existence of the Shell People is to protect a "truly ancient, perfect consciousness", which may be one of the oldest existences in Runeland. When each Shell People grows to a certain age, they will be attracted by a magic crystal that resonates with them, so they can find it and let it reside in their body.

The crystal holds the memories, hopes and dreams of the ancient consciousness. It is a bit like when the consciousness and body are separated, the crystal in the body of the shell person is the "brain" of this consciousness, and the shell person takes on the responsibility of the "body". The dead shell person will bury the crystal deep underground until it is discovered by a new shell person.

After merging with the crystal, the young Shellman will become one with all his fellow crystal-hosting people, sharing one consciousness. Without the need for communication, he can feel the magic of the material realm around him and connect with every level of the world.

The existence of this consciousness makes the magic crystal unstable. Even if it is transformed into a more stable and safe Hextech crystal, it cannot solve this problem. At most, there is no problem when using it in weapons, but if it is combined with the human body, it is still very dangerous.

Initially, the Glorious Church could only carry out some basic mechanical transformations, similar to replacing mechanical prostheses. After being influenced by Lin Jiu, Victor was not so extreme. It was not until he found a substitute for magic crystals, magic runes, that the Glorious Church began to truly develop.

The so-called rune magic is a magic application system that uses "text" or "symbols" as its expression form and a certain magic source with powerful arcane energy as its basis. Through the "text arrangement" in the magical sense, it connects the material realm and the arcane realm, summons and controls arcane energy, and uses corresponding magic effects. It has dual adaptability to both material and spiritual aspects, and will continue to produce uncontrollable changes due to the addition of external characteristics.

In layman's terms, runes are a kind of magic formula unique to Runeland. Magicians who possess magical talents or scholars who possess magical sources, such as Jayce and Viktor who possess magic crystals, can use different magic through different problem-solving methods.

However, this formula has a certain degree of adaptability. Once it is affected by certain unknown factors or used incorrectly by the user, the formula will actively adapt to the impact of this "error" and continue to passively evolve in an uncontrollable direction.

In short, rune magic is equivalent to the "mathematical formula" of the magic world, and Victor found the "formula" that is most suitable for the Glorious Church to fuse with Glorious Evolution through combination and arrangement. The magic runes formed by this formula can replace the role of magic crystals, and are more stable and have no negative effects.

"Why did you go to the territory of the Sea Beast Church? Wouldn't it be better to directly occupy Pierwater and Zaun and unify the two cities? That place is more suitable for the development of the Glorious Church, and unifying the two cities means there will no longer be a distinction between high and low, which is also in line with your wishes. Both have Glorious Evolution, so it is quite appropriate to have the headquarters in the City of Progress." Lin Jiu also asked Victor about what happened in the twin cities.

Victor's answer was also very simple. It was that the Glorious Church had not been able to take over the Twin Cities in its early stages of development. After he developed in Bilgewater, he was entangled by the Sea Beast Church. Retreating to the Twin Cities at this time was a huge blow to the Glorious Church.

"After the establishment of the Sun Empire, the first thing it planned to do was to attack the Twin Cities?" Victor immediately understood Lin Jiu's intention.

"The Twin Cities have been an inseparable part of Shurima since ancient times," Lin Jiu said with a faint smile. This was not a joke, but real history. Piltover and Zaun belonged to the same city, "Zuan", which was part of the Shurima Empire thousands of years ago and was a port city built on the isthmus.

Trade is the lifeblood of Piltover, and the city, which controls the east-west sea route, has made a lot of money with its geographical advantages. This has also contributed to the rapid expansion of the Noxian Empire, because their troops and military supplies can travel to all corners of Runeterra relatively easily.

If Noxus, a weakened version of the "Shurima Empire", can do this, then naturally his orthodox Shurima Sun Empire must take back this important trade center.

But this is something that Sivir should consider. After Lin Jiu waits for the coronation ceremony of the first king of the Sun Empire to be over tomorrow and helps the Sun Empire to produce the first batch of Sun Legion warriors, he will go about his own business.

Lin Jiu also reached a pleasant deal with Victor, trading Shurima's metal ore for various technological items. The military force of the Solar Empire is mainly composed of the Solar Legion, so it does not need the Glorious Church to provide weapons, but more of various civilian supplies and technological tools. These things are too easy for the Glorious Church to manufacture. It's like asking a military factory to mass-produce stainless steel washbasins.

By the way, Lin Jiu also asked Victor's Glorious Church to pay extra attention to those who might violate the law. Lin Jiu summarized all the characteristics of the types of violators that might appear and gave them to Victor orally. According to these characteristics, if they were encountered, they would be caught, controlled, and sent to the Empire of the Sun.

Anyway, it is better to catch the wrong person than to let him go. Mobilizing the power of the "masses" is much better than him going after the offenders alone. When the Empire of the Sun is established, he will have to explain this matter to Sivir.

Mount Targon.

The Lakor people live in a place with four distinct seasons at the foot of the mountain, so they can hunt animals, gather food, and domesticate livestock to survive. In spring and summer, the vegetation is lush and wild animals are everywhere, so even the steep slopes are suitable for living.

On the mountain, the situation is completely different. The Rakkor people live under the protection of the majestic mountain structure and believe that they are summoned by the mysterious power of the mountain. There are mysterious stone carvings on the rocks of Mount Targon. Some people believe that the patterns on the rocks were once maps of the world outside the heavens, while others believe that those markings foreshadow a future war.

High up in the mountains, you can see bitter cold winds and snow, and eternal winter lingers all year round. The arrangement and shape of the rocks seem to come from another world, and the terrain is rugged and strange, threatening all who linger here. All visitors are responded to with icy winds, extremely cold blizzards, and frequent landslides. The thin air makes every breath an effort and painful.

No matter how rigorously trained the climbers are, the thin air and the treacherous mountain roads kill almost all climbers along the way. The fallen bodies will be frozen forever, sealed in the cold and dry mountain wind, as a warning to those who come after them.
