lol: Bind Syndra at the start

She even started calling Swain by his first name.

But her explanation did make the whole thing make sense.

As we all know, Swain's crow is not the original demon, and it is impossible for it to have the power to drive Fiddlesticks.

Even if the ancient ballad mentions crows, it is more likely a coincidence.

Ryan was more inclined to believe that the crow was not a combat-type demon.

Its abilities are all focused elsewhere. After all, the very concept of "secret" is inherently mysterious.

Swain may have learned many secrets through it.

This includes how to drive Fiddlesticks, or how to let Fiddlesticks descend on Ionia.

This also explains why in the original work, Karma "released" Syndra who was trapped in the seal.

If the Noxians really brought an original demon here, Ionia would indeed need a powerful "foreign aid".

But now I'm here.

Ryan looked at the debris and asked doubtfully, "Can these things lure Fiddlesticks here?"

"As far as I know, the oldest of these objects is four hundred years old. They were once the backdrop for Fiddlesticks' stories..."

Ms. Black Rose walked over and pointed to one of the dilapidated wooden poles. "It's part of a scarecrow in a certain story. According to our understanding of demons, people or things affected or possessed by them will retain their breath or power.

"Swain had previously sent many teams to sneak into Ionia, just to create panic throughout Ionia. The smell of fear combined with these things... at least he thought it would attract Fiddlesticks."

"So if we destroy these things, his plan will fail?"

Ryan felt that the process was somewhat simple.

"Do you know why they are the only ones left in such a large warehouse?"

Ms. Black Rose's words reminded Ryan of a terrifying thing.

"you mean......"

"Because the other parts have already been scattered." Ms. Black Rose looked at Ryan's expression, and as the latter's face changed, she suddenly said, "But those are just scraps, the remaining parts are the key positions.

"Swain isn't that reckless. He likes to lay the groundwork before letting things happen. And Black Rose never treats her friends unfairly..."

This is not a lie.

Because Black Rose had never had any friends before, there was no such thing as mistreating a friend.

"Then destroy them all first."

"It's not that simple. There's Swain's protective spell on it..."

Ryan responded with his actions.

A cold, dark flame appeared out of nowhere and then pounced on the pile of debris that might carry Fiddlesticks' power.

As he watched, a crimson magical light lit up.

But in an instant it was engulfed by the dark flames that continued one after another. The resistance of the crimson magic seemed to have aroused the destructive desire of the dark magic.

The fire expanded and rose in an instant, turning into a huge pillar of fire that almost touched the ceiling.

It took only a few breaths of time, and when the dark purple flame disappeared, there was no trace of the "devil" in the entire warehouse.

Ryan didn't know if the 'parts' scattered across Ionia would attract Fiddlesticks again.

But he did what he could at the moment...

All that remains is to go back and tell the First Land the news, and see if the House of Eternal Life and the Order of the Balance can find those who have slipped through the net.

Chapter 304 Give Him a Surprise

The Palace of Eternity.

From the moment Irelia arrived, these monks were filled with resistance and defense.

After hearing Irelia's request, the monks were like fighting cocks that had found their target.

They had long forgotten their daily spiritual practices. It was as if their impoverished lives suddenly had meaning, and they were obsessed with trying to persuade this generation of apocalypticists not to listen to the slander of others.

If they didn't feel that they couldn't defeat Irelia, who was chosen by the ancient will, perhaps they would have used other methods.

But unfortunately, there is no if.

The monks, who were at a disadvantage in terms of power, could only protest with their words.

On other matters, Kalma would raise his hand and exercise his veto power.

But in this case, she did need to get permission from others.

Because Karma, who sealed Syndra, wanted to ensure that the seal was effective at all times.

Transferred part of the sealed power to the monks...

In order to fully release the darkness, we need the cooperation of these monks.

"I will discuss this matter with Irelia again..."

Karma looked at the monk representative who was hit.

This is a white-haired old man, and the years have left complex marks on his face.

His eyes were already becoming cloudy, but there was no doubt that he was the oldest monk, bar none.

As a long-lived old man, he has experienced three Apocalypses.

He is also a monk who possesses the power of sealing.

"Whatever her reasons, there's no reason for us to unleash the darkness. Although hundreds of years have passed, I believe no one has seen more clearly than you how much pain the darkness has brought to Ionia.

"You might ask yourself if you're willing to release it..."

"I'll ask."

Karma looked calm.

"You are the backbone of Ionia. Any decision you make will affect countless people. We hope you can consider it carefully."

The old monk used the softest words but expressed the hardest attitude.

He ignored Irelia beside Karma.

As a servant of the First Earth, any will other than that of the Spirit of Ionia is no different to him than that of an ordinary person.

"Give us some time."

Karma said nothing more, but led Irelia to the depths of the Temple of Eternity.

This is the place where the Apocalypse Ones of all generations received their inheritance. Only Kalma, who has mastered the memories of the sages of all generations, knows how to enter.

According to the rules, even the most senior monks cannot set foot inside.

The old monk who had been following closely stopped here.

His old face wrinkled as he stared at the two figures crossing the threshold. "You've already made a mistake. I hope you'll learn from it."

......

'Om'

The closed stone door blocked out the monks' chatter.

Irelia did not show any emotion due to the monks' resistance and exclusion.

She is no longer the little girl who only knows how to dance, nor is she the general who only knows how to fight and kill.

Before coming here, she had already prepared herself for resistance.

On the contrary, it was Karma's kindness that was somewhat beyond her initial expectations.

Karma walked in front, and the Ionian mark behind her lit up with green light, adding a touch of freshness to the slightly dark space.

There's nothing special about this legendary 'room'.

Irelia even felt that it was a little too plain, like the residence of an ascetic monk. Apart from a straw mat, there were only stone walls and stone walls.

A ray of light came in from the top, illuminating only a corner.

Karma turned around and stared at Irelia for a moment. "You seem to still have some distrust of me."

"Those monks who dedicate their lives to you seem to have different ideas from yours." Irelia said truthfully, "I'm not surprised by their attitude. On the contrary, I'm a little surprised by your decision..."

"They are indeed willing to believe in me with their lives, but they don't want to see me make decisions that go against their understanding. Many times people think they have given everything, but that is just what they think."

Karma's words revealed a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Countless experiences have made her, or 'they', understand the true nature of the world and people.

"Didn't he tell you about me?" Karma asked back.

"he?"

"Lion." Karma smiled when he mentioned the name.

In her countless memories, there had never been anyone like Ryan.

But this is not surprising, since he is from another dimension.

"No."

"No wonder, I started 'cooperating' with him a few years ago..."

Karma's words made Irelia suddenly understand why when Lion asked her for help, it seemed like he was making a small request.

He actually hooked up with the Apocalypse many years ago!

Irelia lowered her head subtly, fearing that she might have offended Ionia by expressing her feelings about the 'male succubus'.

"...Although it wasn't explicitly stated, there was a tacit understanding between him and me. He knew that if he served Ionia, I would slowly undo the seal of darkness.

"He specifically asked you to come because he finally couldn't wait any longer?"

Irelia calmed down and said, "He asked me to tell you something. He said that even if the seal is broken, he will take Syndra and go overseas."

"He is an interesting person and also a sensible person, so why should I refuse him?" Karma looked at Irelia and said.

A simple exchange of messages let Irelia know why Karma had this attitude, but... "How are you going to convince the monks?"

Her own idea is to exchange benefits, or use some white lies.

She believes that with her current position, she already has a certain say.

But what if Karma is prepared?

After all, the other party has accumulated countless wisdom.

"They're worried that releasing darkness will put Ionia in danger, so we need another danger to 'replace' the darkness, or to show them how to solve danger with danger."

"So there are other dangers?"

"Why does the Temple of Eternity exist?" Karma looked up at the light, "Because Ionia always needs someone to hold the last line of defense.

"You and your men have driven back the Noxians many times, but they always leave behind hidden dangers that you cannot detect.

"For example... those demonic items tainted with evil auras, the Noxians have spread them throughout Ionia."

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Faelor, “The Noxians thought they were very discreet, but they forgot where they are. Ionia is not their Noxus.

"We possess wealth beyond their imagination. Anything involving the spiritual realm is difficult to conceal from us. For example, the most crucial core components are currently within that fortress...

"Do you think that if Syndra is freed from her seal, she will allow those auras that make her uncomfortable to remain around her? As long as she destroys those things, all the Noxian arrangements will be wasted."

"so......"

"So I will use this reason to convince the monks, and they will not do anything to stop this matter, because they know the harm of the devil."

"I'll go inform Ryan."

"There's no need to inform him, let's give him a surprise."

Chapter 305 Dream Pool

"You gave me a surprise..."

Ms. Black Rose's voice shattered the silent air.

She didn't know what Ryan was thinking as he lowered his head in thought.

But the dark flame that Ryan just released made her eyes light up.
