Legends of Runeterra

"Peyra, what on earth is this..."

After looking at the scroll, Li En looked up at Cassiopeia.

"Haha~! Li En, look!"

Cassiopeia said as she raised her hand and picked up the golden scroll, spreading it out on the table.

On the scroll, which is about 50 centimeters long, patterns are painted by engraving and then painting.

From left to right.

A thin figure stood among a group of people, and then there were fewer and fewer people until he was the only one left, and the figure also became tall and strong.

He sat on a magnificent throne, with a group of people kneeling below him, and he seemed to be ruling them.

Afterwards, a dense crowd of people gathered under a high platform. A tall figure stood under an extremely huge disc, and it seemed that some ceremony was being performed.

Finally, there was a ruin with scattered figures wailing in pain.

After looking at all the pictures, Li En had already confirmed in his heart who the person recorded in this scroll was.

But he still looked up at Cassiopeia with a curious expression.

"Pea, this scroll..."

"Haha~! This is what I have gained during this period of time~!"

Cassiopeia said, gently turning the scroll over.

He took out a thumb-sized golden bottle from his waist, unscrewed the lid and poured the liquid into the scroll.

"Click~!"

The ink-like liquid poured onto the scroll and quickly merged into it.

Then, a map appeared in front of them.

In the lower left corner, there is a line of tiny handwriting.

"A gift descends upon one's body, shedding one's mortal body; a god descends from heaven, moving mountains and conquering the world?"

"That's right, I didn't expect that you, Li En, know the ancient Shurima language~!"

"Haha~! I understand a little bit."

"Li En, this is the result of my work during this period!

According to the information I have found, the place this map points to is related to the supreme hegemony of ancient Shurima!"

"Peya, you mean..."

"Yes, it's them - the legendary 'Ascendants'!"

Even the makeup on Cassiopeia's face couldn't hide the look of fatigue, but at this moment her brown eyes exuded amazing brilliance.

"Li En, I want to explore and discover this power!"

"That's the legendary 'Ascendant' who can easily destroy a city, Peya, you..."

Cassiopeia interrupted Li En's words by gently placing a white and tender finger on his lips. She then took a step forward, and their faces were only a fist's distance apart.

At this moment, Cassiopeia's usual noble lady expression disappeared, leaving only a serious look.

"My father violated the imperial law, my mother is missing, and the glory of the Du Kecao family has long since disappeared.

Without the glory of my family, I, Cassiopeia, would be nothing more than a beautiful woman."

"Peyya, you don't have to take such a risk. No matter what happens in our family, the marriage contract we have already made will not change!"

"Thank you, Li En!"

Cassiopeia gently kissed the corner of Li En's mouth.

"But because of this, in order to be able to stand by your side, Li En, I must try to gain this power!"

"Then you and I..."

"Li En, I can go by myself. Don't forget that Uzeris is still under the jurisdiction of Du Kecao. I can find enough people!

The exact location pointed by this map has not been determined yet. It will take a long time to find it. When I have news, I will write to inform you. "

"Ok, I see!"

Facing Cassiopeia's gaze, Li En nodded slightly.

"But... take this."

"what is this?"

Playing with the exquisite jade token in her hand, Cassiopeia looked at Li En curiously.

"It's a small prop. If you crush it in a crisis, it can form a barrier with no blind spots. At the same time, I can also receive the information and rush over as soon as possible!"

"Well, I see!"

Cassiopeia carefully put away the jade token, then stared at Li En with her watery eyes.

"Lee En~!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Before I left, I thought..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Cassiopeia leaned close to Li En's ear and whispered softly.

"I want to... fulfill my wife's duties..."

...

"Pea, Riven, do you want to have dinner?"

"Ugh! Hiccup! No... no need..."

Riven barely opened her eyes and spoke weakly, while Cassiopeia, with a flushed face, resting her head on the pillow, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

This was the first time that Cassiopeia couldn't hold on and had to ask Riven for help.

"Okay, I'll go eat it myself."

After changing into clean clothes, Li En walked out of the room refreshed.

Li En opened the panel and saw that Cassiopeia's bond value had reached 58%. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Regardless of the purpose, Li En didn't actually care that Cassiopeia didn't want Li En to go to Shurima.

Or rather, he was happy to see this scene.

The so-called ascension ceremony is to use the sun disc to continuously reduce the power of that "great existence" to a level that living beings can bear.

Utilizing this arguably degraded force, one can achieve a leap in the life essence of living beings.

Li En had no intention of getting involved in the resurrection of Tsar Azir.

One is that Li En had already extracted and refined a portion of the "void" in his body from Virus.

Compared to the one transformed from the solar disk, what Li En possesses is closer to the original state, and there is no need to seek those "degraded energies".

Secondly, the moment the sun disk drew in the power, how could the star spirits, who had built this system and controlled the source of power, not notice it?

The one who is most closely involved with the Ascended and the Darkin is the former Twilight Aspect - Maisha.

Looking at the miserable condition of the Darkin, Li En didn't want to enter the other party's field of vision for the time being and arouse the other party's curiosity.

As for his successor, Zoe, she is an ultimate fun-loving person and a female devil.

Even if the other party is kind, how can we be sure that the "kindness" of the Protoss is consistent with the "kindness" in the conventional sense?

Li En was not so arrogant as to gamble his life on the other party's kindness.

Except for Soraka, who voluntarily gave up everything and came to the mortal world to save all living beings, she is slightly more trustworthy.

Li En is always extremely cautious when dealing with any star spirit.

Li En walked towards the restaurant and was led directly to the reception room by a maid who suddenly came running over.

"Tyrone!"

Li En put his arm around the other person's shoulders.

"Good brother, you are finally back!"

"Long time no see, Li En!"

Facing Li En's gaze, a smile appeared on Tyrone's cold face.

"You've worked hard on the journey. Come, let's eat and talk!"

...

"By the way, Tyrone, did you hear anything interesting along the way?"

"Interesting things?"

Tyrone thought about it.

"You know the Kazars Arena, right?"

"Yes, it's one of the famous arenas in the empire, located in the eastern part of the empire."

"I passed by there and heard that there was a gladiator trying for the title of 'Viscero'!"

"Oh? Whose general is this? He is so brave!"

"Here, I know you like to recruit talents. This is his promotional portrait."

Li En spread out the portrait that Tailong handed over, and a familiar sense of déjà vu came over him.

"Fuck!!"
