lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Several huge mountains come into view.

The mountains of Ionia are very interesting. They are not the traditional cones or triangles that can isolate the entire terrain. Instead, they are like inverted icicles, standing on the land in a way that violates physics.

From the perspective of travelers, it looks like a row of stone shackles, locking the entire continent here.

On both sides of the road, unfamiliar red crops replaced the green vegetation, like hot waves swaying in the breeze.

Mountains, red crops, and hard soil underfoot.

This scene that he had seen on the official website of League of Legends undoubtedly made Ryan feel more at ease.

Although he knew how to find the direction, even an experienced explorer could get lost in the primeval forest.

And it seemed that he was too tired from rushing on the road, and he fell into inexplicable dreams almost every night.

Almost every dream ends with me being woken up by that familiar pair of jade feet.

Sometimes the jade feet are covered with dark purple stockings;

Sometimes it will be black silk;

Sometimes I just don't wear anything at all...

This recurring dream made Ryan wonder if his paintings had absorbed too much magic and turned into spirits.

But after careful observation, he ruled out this possibility.

The only truth is that he is too tired.

I was so tired that every time I woke up, my body felt sore, as if someone had stepped on me from head to toe.

Let out a breath slowly.

Ryan bathed himself in the long-lost unobstructed moonlight.

According to the route I planned, after seeing these mountains, I walked for about half a day and then I would see the village where the story took place.

These villages were built around the Yufeng Sword Sect. They were more dispersed than the mill town at the foot of the Gouya Temple, but they also covered a larger area.

It is a bit difficult to find the old couple that appears in the plot among the many villages.

But that couple is definitely the best entry point into the plot.

Now that the place has been found, the next thing to determine is where the plot actually takes place.

Considering that the moon was already low, Ryan took out the tree seeds.

The dark purple tree house grows quietly, and after reaching a certain size, the surrounding vegetation actively retreats.

Ryan could roughly sense the emotions of these elements.

They reject themselves, but they are not as disgusted with tree pests as one might imagine.

Instead, you will feel like you are seeing a poor relative. Although you will not actively share your magic, you will give in a little when you meet one.

Trees do this better than humans.

Sindra...

Forget it, let’s not talk about Syndra.

Ryan's back aches when he mentions her.

Who can stand this torture night after night?

This grudge must be avenged sooner or later.

Ryan held his breath for a moment, then took out the prepared stuff from his backpack.

After sleeping outdoors for so long, he planned to have something good to eat tonight.

He had already distributed the seasonings that he was reluctant to use according to the proportions. He fetched water from the nearby stream, found some dry firewood to start a fire, and put the seasonings and water into the pot.

After a while, the long-lost aroma of hot pot wafted out...

Chapter 24: Fragments and Runes

As an 'extra staff member' of Gouya Temple, Ryan had little interest in art.

But after enjoying all the benefits of modern society, his pursuit of food, clothing, housing and transportation definitely exceeds that of 90% of the people in this world.

Especially when it comes to eating, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Most of the time, taste buds are harder to satisfy than women.

Every ingredient in Ionia has a magical aura, and even cooked in plain water is delicious.

But if this ingredient is paired with delicious homemade hot pot base...

Ryan chewed the beef roll while looking at the scenery in the distance.

Before, he felt that his two years at the seaside were not hard.

but now......

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

Putting aside other aspects, why didn’t we make this hot pot earlier?

He felt that if the will of the nascent earth also needed to eat, then it would most likely not be able to resist this temptation.

or......

Next time, shall we cook a hot pot in Syndra’s dream?

Ryan thought it was a good idea.

He used painting magic to present this taste. As long as Syndra could sense it, it was likely that she had eaten it.

To capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach.

Once she becomes completely dependent on this smell, won't she do whatever I say?

The chili peppers dispelled the night chill and covered the surrounding vegetation with a thin layer of mist.

Ryan's sweet dream also spread along with the aroma of the hot pot, causing a layer of clouds to float in the sky.

Just when he was about 80% full and ready to make one last attempt, a faint sound suddenly came from a haystack not far away.

It was not the sound of footsteps, nor the sound of grass roots being blown by the wind. Instead, it was like the protest sound made by the stomach when a person is hungry to a certain extent.

"Goo..."

After concentrating, the sound became more and more obvious.

Putting down his dishes, Ryan stood up and walked towards the source of the noise.

He had previously used dark magic to check the surroundings and did not find any other people.

But as this voice sounded, a faint breath of life flowed out.

Accompanied by the chirping of frogs and summer cicadas, he found a thin figure in a field not far away.

Gray hair covered most of his face.

The clothes were soaked with the night's humidity and stuck to the body like tape.

The mud in the field took on a subjective initiative, enveloping the body and entangled the muscles on the slender limbs with mud.

Ryan looked at the figure and examined it carefully for several seconds before finally confirming a fact.

He seems to be very lucky!

......

......

The brilliant night sky is blocked by the tree house.

At Ryan's signal, Shujian had his second development tonight.

Got myself from a tent to a two room.

After Shujian completely defected to the 'Dark Camp', Ryan discovered an unexpected benefit.

That is, the dark purple bark of the tree seems to be able to isolate the outside world from the influence of his dark magic.

The overflowing dark magic would become nourishment for Shujian, and it would also allow him to cast spells without having to distract himself from controlling anything.

The dark magic that was considered dangerous by the Ionians was like the most docile sheep in Ryan's hands. Although he could not take care of the sick and it was not convenient for him to wash the women directly with his hands, he had magic.

The world is complex, but most of the time magic can make these complexities simple.

After using magic to wipe the body of the unfortunate fellow he picked up and dealing with the mud, Ryan quietly looked at the pale face on the bed.

He was very familiar with this face. Although the white fur had just been washed and was unusually obedient, any time traveler could recognize her identity.

Perhaps because of this butterfly, no farmer had lost his cow tonight, so there was no story of a farmer groping in the dark in the fields looking for his cow.

The high fever put Riven into a coma. If the smell of the hot pot had not happened to trigger her body's instinctive reaction, she would probably have died directly in the field.

After all, her vital signs were so weak at that time that even the dark magic considered her dead.

Ryan rubbed his chin with his hand, being the honest and kind man he is.

There were no dirty thoughts in his mind at this moment.

Riven's appearance in the fields marks the beginning of the tragedy of her background story...

But fortunately, his luck, no, it should be said that the three heroes were lucky enough to allow him to join their lives early.

The current timeline is most likely the stage where Elder Suma has just died and the tragedy has not yet had time to spread.

If I could help them resolve the misunderstanding in advance, then the late Yasuo in a certain CG animation might not appear, and Yongen might have a new path.

As for Riven...her ending in the original novel wasn't too bad.

But if she could change just a few details, maybe it would make the rest of her life a little more bearable.

But no matter what we do, we have to wait for Riven to wake up first.

Although he used magic to treat it briefly, Ryan, who did not know any healing magic, was helpless against the high fever.

The only thing he could do was draw a piece of ice and put it on Riven's forehead.

After doing all this, Ryan turned around and looked at the personal belongings that were discovered at the same time as Riven.

The outside was a piece of rag, even more tattered than the one he found at the beach.

The cloth was filled with fragments of some kind he had never seen before.

Ryan had come into contact with many people during the two years at the seaside, but neither Hui nor the forest villagers who loved nature had any interest in magic weapons. All they cared about were ancient murals and fields.

And these fragments...if Ryan remembered correctly, they should be Riven's weapons.

It was specifically introduced in the background story. It is a rune weapon forged by Noxus using rune magic, which contains enormous magical power.

The pieces were fragmented, but that didn't bother Ryan, who had extensive experience in puzzle solving.

He carefully sorted the fragments into categories and then laid them out neatly one by one.

It is unknown what material the fragments are made of, but one can clearly see various complex patterns, or... runes, engraved on them.

There have been several clearly recorded catastrophes in the history of Valoran.

The Rune War is the protagonist of the catastrophe that is most recent to us.

About four hundred years ago, magical runes were used in wars.

The misuse of rune weapons caused irreparable damage to the entire continent, and Piltover and Zaun were then split in two.

Countless city-states were reduced to ruins by the flames of magic, and countless lives were wiped out in the violent explosion.

Just as everything was about to be destroyed, humans finally realized the danger of runes.

Since the Rune Wars, the entire continent has spontaneously banned the use and research of runes.

Even today, Noxus dares not touch those things openly, so you can imagine how dangerous the runes are...

Brothers, if you see this, please invest here!

Chapter 25: Liars and Smart People

When runes became history, this rune weapon belonging to Riven can be regarded as extremely precious, a "pearl in the ocean" passed down from that era.

Ryan tried to put the pieces together.
