Runeterra is so much fun!

Chapter 119 117·The Fire Antelope (4K)

Hearing the words of the dark descendant Harp, even though he had made sufficient preparations, Yuan Chen still couldn't help being startled.

It's not because of how strong the Darkborn Harp is, nor is it because of how fragile Yuan Chen's spirit is.

It's pure. This simple sentence contains too much information.

So old that even Yuan Chen himself couldn't help wondering if he heard it wrong.

But without Yuan Chen's response, the dark descendant Harp seemed a little flustered.

"Master? Is that you, Master? You said you would wake me up, I am Stilatu! You keep calling me Antelope..."

Hearing the words of the dark harp, Yuan Chen rubbed his brows with some headaches.

Darkborn are very special, but to revive them, at least two conditions are required.

One is to let them come into contact with living objects for them to parasitize, and directly seize them through blood magic.

The second is the call from the Ascended General Sword Demon in the LOR, which forcibly awakens their consciousness, strengthens their interference with the outside world, and even directly parasitizes some special life forms.

Although the erosion of the darkborn is terrifying, it is far from unsolvable.

At least, there are not a few people who can fight with will...

Kayn, for example, was able to fight against Raast's consciousness.And the Juggernaut personally sealed the Darkborn Chain Scythe inside the Promise Sect.

Including the new hero Bairi Hell Dog Nayafiri (dog dagger, knife dog, red dog, red dog).

The reason why he couldn't directly parasitize the person who took her away was because that person was wrapped in cloth to avoid direct physical contact——

Then because of accidental contact with hyenas, they parasitized on hyenas.

Yuan Chen is very confident in his willpower, but this does not mean that Yuan Chen is willing to take meaningless risks.

But it is also because of this that although Stellato can feel the flow of magic power and the breath of people.But it is impossible to determine who dug himself out of the ground.

Accompanied by the noise of the scarlet strings, not only Yuan Chen heard Stellatu's words, but also Qinggang Ying beside him heard Stillatu's words.

Almost subconsciously, Yuan Chen looked at Qinggang Ying behind him.

The breath of the whole person suddenly changed from the original peace to an indescribable coldness.

The original protective clothing was directly torn into pieces, and the ivory-like dragon tooth flying blade carved with golden patterns circled in the air.

The ground is wet, like a swamp, but the trench is full of gravel, making it impossible for Qing Gangying to maintain its own center of gravity.

And Qing Gangying raised his hands almost without hesitation, his eyes were full of dignity, but his tone was still cold and accurate:

"Don't be nervous! I will keep silent!"

Thinking of this, looking at Yuan Chen, even with Qing Gang Ying's cold temper and couldn't help feeling that her breathing became a little short.

Under this spiritual stimulation, Hex's heart, which had been running stably, also hummed, continuously sending out energy ripples that relieve stress and soothe the tension from the nerves.

But even so, Qing Gangying still couldn't help swallowing her Adam's apple——

In fact, she had already guessed enough about Yuan Chen, and she paid enough attention to it.

Ever since the interests of the Hex Crystal were forcibly divided by other families, Qing Gangying knew that the family must find a strong enough backer.

Not only have power, but also have the strength to wrestle with Noxus.

Such is the case with Ixtar.

However, Qinggangying can only confirm the strength of Ixtar, but cannot determine whether this empire, which has been isolated from the world for more than three thousand years, is strong enough to be willing to fight an empire like Noxus for an outside family Wrestling.

So Qing Gangying did not hesitate to personally test...

Although Yuanchen and Qiyana's attitudes during the process humiliated the Philos family, they even directly shook the foundation of the Philos family because of the original Hex stone.

But Qinggangying knew that this was what she was waiting for...

Enough to offer their loyalty, to serve, and to be rewarded as they should be.

But now it seems...

Even if he tried his best to overestimate this "Ixtar" from Ionia.But I still look away...

Not only myself, but even Ixtar didn't know about it.

"You are a smart person, you know my needs, my thoughts, and what the Philos family lacks."

Camille said: "I have already dedicated my life to my family, my everything..."

After saying that, Qing Gang Ying swallowed his saliva, his eyes flickering with energy arc flashed a bit of throbbing, and then returned to the original calm, saying:

"You know the past between Hakim and me, and the choices I made. For the sake of the family, I will pledge my allegiance to you."

"..."

After hearing Camille's words, Yuan Chen was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Your allegiance is Qiyana, not me."

"As you wish."

Seeing Yuan Chen let her go, Camille also heaved a sigh of relief, then bowed slightly, and stood quietly by the side without saying a word.

It was not until this moment that Yuan Chen withdrew his knife, turned around in his leather armor and looked at Stillatu.

In fact, Yuan Chen has never needed to wear protective clothing——

The bottom of the trench in Zaan is very toxic, even if the elemental drake soaks in it for a long time, it will inevitably be soaked in the curse, exhaust gas, and poisonous water accumulated by it for hundreds of years.

But the power of temperance can prevent Yuan Chen from being poisoned like this.

In terms of life level, apart from very few pure-blooded dragons, ancient dragons, and proto-dragons, ordinary dragons and sub-dragons are incomparable in front of demons.

Strength is one aspect, and life form is another aspect.

The reason why I still wear it is simply to reduce the consumption of mana driving upright restraint, and some other things...

As for why Yuanchen didn't allow Camille to be loyal to him...the reason is also very simple.

There are already too many overlords, emperors, and heroes in this world.

Yuan Chen also doesn't want to have so much concern for himself... Just like Ruiz, walking alone may be the best choice for the path he chose.

Loneliness is always the norm, just get used to it.

And after being silent for a long time, after sorting out his thoughts, Yuan Chen looked at Stellatu again.

Just now Stellatu said that the "master" who suspected himself but was actually completely unknown called her an antelope.

As we all know, Shurima draws heavily on Egyptian mythology in the setting of League of Legends.

For example, the image of the ascender of the yellow chicken comes from the sun god Ra in Egyptian mythology.The dog head is derived from Anubis, the god of death.The crocodile is derived from the crocodile god Sobek.

And the antelope...

In Egyptian mythology, Lishi is the god who masters thunder and plague. His name means "flame" and "plague" at the same time. He is an evil god with the head of an antelope...

As for Stylatu...whether she is an evil god or not is hard to say, but in the plot of LOR, she indeed vented her sealed anger to Piltover and Zaun as soon as she woke up.

And her darkin form is an energy body like Xerath.

It's just not pure arcane energy like Xerath, but blazing flames.

If you have to say it, these characteristics can indeed be matched... But Yuan Chen really can't remember when he communicated with Stilatu!
Thinking about it, after a moment of silence, Yuan Chen simply said:

"You may have misunderstood the person, I haven't seen you before..."

"This voice... yes! You are the master!"

The noise of the harp became more and more excited and intense, and even flickering fires appeared in the space:

"You said it! After my sisters and I are sealed, Runeterra will enter a new cycle! And you will be the first to help me unseal!"

Hearing Stellatu's excited words, Yuan Chen couldn't help comforting him:
"Please calm down...can I call you Stellato?"

"Of course, you can call it whatever you want, whether it's Stellato or Antelope."

Stylatu seemed to be very talkative, but this only aggravated Yuan Chen's doubts and anxiety——

Historically, the darkin were dissatisfied with each other after losing the guidance of Shurima's golden blood.

Under the absolute disparity in power, the dark descendants forgot that they were born as human beings, the glory of being ascended, and began to indulge in the desire to rule——

At that time, almost every darkin and even mortals believed that the last world would fall into the hands of a powerful darkin and be ruled for a long time, just like Shurima was once.

But later, the dark descendants were dead, bad, and sealed...

The bad ones are okay, but the sealed group has been suffering from loneliness, shame, contempt for human beings, and torture of past glory all the time for a long time.

During this long period of time, almost all awakened darkin will be distorted by this hatred.

Including Stellato too.

In LOR, the moment she woke up, she poured out her boundless rage on the lands of Zaun and Piltover.

but now……

Not only did she not lose her mind, she even said that she still maintained her original wisdom...

"First of all... Stilatu." Looking at the harp in front of him, Yuan Chen asked, "Who is the master you are talking about, what is his name, and why do you think I am a master?"

"The master's name is Yuanchen! From Ionia!"

Just one sentence from Stylatu made Yuan Chen's heart hang.

Not to mention Yuan Chen, standing aside, heard the noise from the scarlet strings of the dark harp, and Camille couldn't help but straighten his waist.

That dignified, solemn, and serious attitude with a little elegance is like seeing the community security guard who is in charge of the property project...

Well, Camille's identity is also a security captain.

But no matter what kind of security guards they are, they always stand up straight for fear of being fired...

NND, originally just wanted to find a thigh hug, so as not to be run on by other families backed by Noxus everywhere in Piltover.

But now it seems that this Nima is not a thigh, but a TM big tree!It's TM Ruyi Golden Cudgel!It's TM Qingtian's white jade pillars, and the sea's purple gold beams!
No wonder why Camille is so nervous now.

You know, that TM is an ascender between at least 500 BC and 500 BC in the Noxus calendar!
Although they were called Darkin during the Darkin War, their power and nobility can be seen only from the names of "Ascended", "God Warrior" and "God" in their past glory.

And it was such a dark descendant from the ancient Shurima era who called a young man in his twenties a "master"...

Although at the beginning it might just look alike, but now even the name and origin are the same, and even awakened this harp just like the legend...

As a member of the Philos family, Camille has no less research on history than a professional archaeologist——

Because the Pheros family found the original crystal under the sandy sea of ​​Shurima through the exploration of ancient tombs and was able to rise.

Jael Mirdar belongs to the Mirdar family and is not doing business properly.

But in the Philos family, archeology is politically correct.

It can even be said that the entire Piltover archaeological craze, the Explorers' Association and the Archaeologists' Association were officially developed because of the rise of the Philos family.

Many families want to replicate the rise of the Philos family.

Well, it is precisely because of this that the deserts, ruins, ancient tombs, and temples of Shurima are almost being dug up by archaeologists.

In this case, Camille was extremely sure that Yuan Chen was the most correct choice he made.

Thinking of this, Camille couldn't help thinking of what Yuan Chen had said to him not long ago, whether his allegiance was to the family, the Patriarch, or Piltover.

The answer does not need too much elaboration... There is no need to choose.

And, just like Yuan Chen said...

The Philos family should be as precise as a machine, complete every task with extremely high efficiency, and be ready to dedicate themselves to the family at any time.

Thinking of this, Camille gradually clenched her hands behind her back, and her blue eyes gradually turned cold.

And now, this machine is full of discordant noises!
Didn't care about Camille's words, Yuan Chen just looked at the harp in front of him, his originally soft eyes were full of dignity and solemnity.

If we say that at the very beginning, it was just a coincidence or accident that Stylatu called himself a master.

So now, no matter how much Yuan Chen questioned him, he couldn't deny that this coincidence was too weird.

"You calm down first."

Yuan Chen said: "My current thinking... is a little messy. You are too. Let us regain our senses and have a careful communication."

"...Okay, you are right, master, I am a little too excited."

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, the harp that was originally flickering with fire gradually calmed down, and even the original sound of the harp changed from chaotic to clear and enthusiastic.

"I'm an Ascendant... Well, I should be a Darkborn now."

Harp introduced himself:
"It is the commander of the gods under Aatrox, the Ascended General of the Golden Legion of Shurima, the Fire Gazelle, Stilatul."

　There is a lot of background information on the new hero Dog Dagger, and the outline may need to be fine-tuned, so there is some delay...
