Chapter 12 The first appearance of world runes
Xiongdu City has been so cold recently!
It can freeze people into dogs in broad daylight, but at night it will be even more excessive. Even if you take a breath, you can turn into ice slags. However, what is even more terrifying than the low temperature is... I feel cold in my heart. Jiangbei is like this, with cold air all over his body and dare not move.
It's over!
Be careless!
There was one more person when we counted the number of people with Silas before.
When Galen helped to check, the more one disappeared again, and now it is obvious... it is not that the number is wrong, and the more one is not that it is missing, but that it is hidden in its own room!
call out!
I don't know what the sound is.
Jiang Bei, who did not dare to act rashly, suddenly felt numb all over his body, as if a cold magic energy had penetrated into his body, and then... a heart-wrenching pain erupted from his whole body, rushing straight to his brain. He collapsed on the cold ground in pain.
Fortunately, this severe pain does not last long.
I took a few breaths.
Jiang Bei felt like he had walked in the gates of hell, and gritted his teeth and slowly got up from the ground. Looking around, he found that there was no one in the room.
...
"You don't have to look for me!"
The mysterious man's voice rang again.
Jiang Bei took three breaths to calm himself down. Although he still didn't see anyone, he could still hear it after listening carefully... This person should be a woman with a soft voice, and combined with the series of things that happened tonight, it is easy to guess some clues.
"Are you the ones that Galio and the Knights of the Dragon Boat hunt?"
"Yes, it's me, but don't think they can save you, because before they come, I can easily let you die, just like this..."
The man's voice just fell.
The severe pain burst out from Jiangbei's body again, which made people unable to survive or die. With a thud... Jiangbei collapsed on the cold ground, his face was extremely hard to see.
"Don't be too nervous, I just made a little magic mark on you."
"This mark will explode once a day... Without me to resolve it for you, you can't even commit suicide when the mark breaks out. I think you shouldn't want to feel it again, right?"
...
Don't kill me?
Just made a magic mark?
The pain was subsided just now, and Jiangbei quickly calmed down. This man did not kill him as soon as possible, which proves that there is still something to talk about, and he is also of use to this man.
"Don't bother me anymore!"
He calmly got up from the ground, Jiang Bei frowned and stared at the empty room and continued, "I am a very sensible person and I don't know how to joke about my life, so just say it, what do you want me to do?"
"Oh? Interesting, I like your greed and fear of death now!" The voice was a little surprised, and it was difficult to identify the position from all directions, and then he spoke again: "But... to be honest, are you really not afraid that I will kill you directly?"
"I'm afraid, but you don't know. If you want to kill me, I can't resist. If you don't kill me now, it proves that you have something to use me!" Jiang Bei replied.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Although this is easy to guess, it's quite surprising to me that you can be so calm, but it's good that you can get things done only by being calm. You give me a little confidence in you!" There was a hint of strange relief in this voice, and then the topic changed and asked, "Oh, by the way, if I asked you to do something contrary to your principles and bottom line, would you do it?"
"Principles and bottom line?" Jiang Bei swept around the empty room and said coldly: "The dead are not worthy of the bottom line. If the living people die because of the bottom line, then the bottom line... what's the use of me?"
"What's the use of getting a bottom line? Haha, it's interesting, I'll take back what I just said!" The mysterious man's voice was a little surprised and said, "Correction, I don't like you, I appreciate you now, and probably only people like you can live longer."
"Okay, I'll just say what I want!"
"In the past few days, I'll find an opportunity to go to the core area of the Forbidden Demon Prison to help me get something!"
"I just heard...you are the warden of this area, so it shouldn't be difficult to go to the core area, right?"
...
Core area?
It's the core area again!
Jiangbei still doesn’t know what is the core area of the Forbidden Demon Prison.
From the initial duo of Tyrone and Caterina, to Galio and the Dragon Boat Knights, to Garen, and finally to this mysterious man, it seems that everyone's target is the core area of the Forbidden Demon Prison.
"No, I can't get into the core area!"
"Oh? This is not like the answer of a smart person. If you can't get in, your life will not seem to be so valuable, right?"
"It's useless for you to threaten me!" Jiang Bei said with a tight expression: "Tonight the palace was attacked, and Jiawen III was assassinated. Since the beginning, the entire Xiong Capital City has been under martial law. No one can leave his post without permission. I am the same. And just now, Galio and the Dragon Bird Knights rushed to the core area. I have not been able to get in at all in recent times!"
"I know this. I can let you slow down for a while, and I can afford to wait!"
"That's good, but how do you guarantee that I'll get you what you want, and you won't kill me?"
"Don't worry, you are an insignificant little shrimp. It doesn't matter whether I kill you or not. If you save your life, you won't threaten me. So why should I trouble you?"
...
What is this?
Are you too lazy to kill me?
But can this horse pedal be considered a guarantee?
Jiang Bei's face gradually became cold, but now there is no more capital to negotiate terms, so he can only cooperate as much as possible. He is still very curious about what is in the core area.
"What exactly is there in the core area? If you ask me to get it, you have to tell me what it is, right?"
"This... is very simple, you look!"
As soon as the mysterious man's voice fell, a strange magical energy suddenly condensed out of thin air in the room.
Jiang Bei could only see in front of him... The starry sky and the energy quickly condensed into a pattern. It should be what this person wanted him to go to the core area to get, but after a careful look, there was only shock left on his face.
...
Rune?!
Damn it, it's a rune!
Jiang Bei knew very well that the pattern in front of him was the witchcraft rune he was once familiar with in the game. Overall, it was probably a lilac diamond-shaped logo. He never expected that there would be a witchcraft rune hidden in the core area of the Forbidden Demon Prison!
"You know?"
"I...I've read it in an ancient book!"
The mysterious man seemed to see the shock on Jiang Bei's face. Jiang Bei could not explain why he knew the runes, so he could only use the excuse to read the records in ancient books.
"That's right, it's the world rune!"
Fortunately, the mysterious man doesn't care why Jiangbei knew about the runes of the world.
For all the powerful people in the Runeland, the world rune is not a secret, so he spoke again: "Prepare it in the near future. Help me take out this world rune and complete the task!"
"Don't think about finding someone to crack my magic mark."
"There are not many people in Demacia that can be broken. I can guarantee that you will let you die before you find these people. Also, don't reveal me to anything, otherwise the result will be the same!"
"Well, it's almost done, I'm leaving!"
...
As soon as the words were finished, the mysterious man's voice also disappeared.
However, Jiang Bei sat alone on the bed, frowning...
One wave just settled, and another wave started again?
It has been almost a month since I came to this world. I have lived a life of stagnation and never had a day of peace. Now that even the runes of the world have come out, does that mean... the forces in this world may start a second rune war?
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei felt a little anxious.
...
You should know that the time epoch in this world began to be divided from the first rune war.
In 15 BC, the Rune War broke out.
At that time, the strong men in the world were fighting for the ownership of the world runes. Controlling the runes means controlling the strongest power.
As a result, the ancient civilizations, large and small countries fell one after another. The war lasted for more than ten years. The war burned the entire rune land, and countless people died, and finally it gradually subsided.
And after this world-class war.
The Noxes were forced to retreat into the Immortal Fortress, and the prototype of the Noxus Empire appeared;
The survivors of hating magic and hating runes jointly established the Federated States of Demacia and announced the ban on demons throughout the country;
It was because of the Rune War that the two largest forces on the Valorand continent in the Runeland land were formed.
...
Until now.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the Rune War seems to be over, but it seems to be not over yet.
What if there really is a world-class war like the last rune war?
Jiangbei is almost certain... a Forbidden Demon Prison with a World Rune hidden, even though it has become one of the eyes of this world-class storm, and I am now in the middle of this sight.
Be sure to hurry up and improve your strength!
Otherwise... I don’t know if I die!
No matter which world you are in, fists will always be the hardest truth. Now all you can do is to strengthen your combat power as soon as possible, and survive before this troubled world begins.
