League of Legends Millennium Warlord

The forbidden land of Demacia.

As early as more than ten days ago, Ryze successfully avoided the Demacian soldiers stationed on the periphery through fixed-point teleportation, and entered the empty forbidden stone forest to start exploring.

In the eyes of Demacians, mages who are not affected by the forbidden magic stone do not exist at all. This is the only reason why Ryze successfully blended into the forbidden magic stone forest.

The Forbidden Stone Forest is a dead and mutant forest. There are no birds or beasts to be seen here. The environment is extremely depressing. Under the tall white trees, it is easy for humans to lose their sense of direction.

Even Ryze felt deep discomfort in the Forbidden Stone Forest. For ordinary people, collecting a few branches on the periphery would be enough to do his best. Going too deep into the Stone Forest might cause some changes in the body, and even died of suffocation under pressure.

Walking among the tall and thick white trees that are tens of hundreds of meters high, Ruiz found that his height may not reach the height of some tree roots. These tall white trees can be seen within a thousand miles. See, it looks like white holy stone pillars soaring into the sky, which is also the origin of the word [Stone Forest]. It is not so much a forest, but a sky-reaching stone pillar.

Undoubtedly, this place has become a well-known spectacle in Demacia. Many people regret that Demacia has never shown the greatness of this place to outsiders.

Only Ryze knows what these great and ancient tree trunks mean.

In this land, only the power of runes can cause such terrible changes in ordinary things, and runes symbolize corruption and destruction, and they are terrible things that need to be suppressed.

The rune must be properly sealed, and only this point, he will never compromise.

"Forbidden Stone Forest, Forbidden Demon... I should have come here long ago."

Sighing, Ryze moved on.

Nineteen years ago, when he came to Valoran from Zaun, the northern port of Shurima, Ryze planned a rune search route for himself.

From the Noxus hills all the way to the north, passing through the Immortal Fortress to the Dalmo Plains, in the Dalmo Plains and then along the Iron Mountains all the way westward to the Freljord tundra, and then all the way north to the Frostguard Fortress, in the Frostguard The fortress turned to the coast of the Ice Sea on the west bank, then followed the outline of the mainland all the way down south, and finally climbed over the Urus Mountains to Demacia, and then searched for the Nok Mochi Plain all the way east from the Demacia Plain until it returned. As far as the Plains of Valoran west of the Immortal Fortress.

Such a closed-loop route is the most time-saving option because it does not take repeated routes. Even so, it took Ryze 19 years to reach Demacia, this lonely road with no room for turning back. It takes nineteen years to walk the road, which is enough to turn a newborn baby into a mature father.

This road is so persistent and determined that wandering mages have no time to think about other things. For example, there is a mysterious forbidden stone forest in Demacia. After crossing the Valoran Plain, the Nokmochi Plain and the Demacia Plain, you can go directly to the Forbidden Stone Forest and explore the situation here.

"It seems that I have to deliberately pay attention to the more peculiar places in the future."

Summing up the experience and lessons that could not be considered failure, Ryze stopped and took out a broken rune fragment with dark red light from the rune scroll behind him.

Six years ago, when Ryze was still on the coast of the icy sea of ​​the Freljord, this fragment had a rune resonance, and the approximate place of the resonance was in the south. a lot, and the orientation has changed to the east.

Thinking about the abnormal properties of the forbidden stone forest, Ryze threw the rune that started to whisper back into the scroll, and took out a cone-shaped rune stone emitting light blue magic light.

"With the abnormal effect of absorbing magic power, it should have a certain connection with this rune that can increase and absorb arcane energy."

Holding the light blue rune tightly, Ryze felt the direction of the rune's resonance, and quickly determined a direction.

Speeding up his pace, passing through the towering giant tree, Ryze came to the pit of a giant tree that had been felled, and re-orientated himself in his mind. Ryze was surprised to find that the position under his feet happened to be a forbidden area. The central location of the Magic Stone Forest.

The semi-circular tree pit was covered with brown-yellow dead leaves, and Ruiz soon discovered that there was an unnatural protrusion near the inner side of the tree pit.

With the palm of his hand, he swept away the fallen leaves on the small stone platform, and the flat relief engraved on the hard stone wall appeared in front of his eyes.

The overall relief is composed of three parts, the layout is compact and the carving is exquisite. They are the people on both sides, the twisted tree trunk in the center, and the cone-shaped stone on the top of the twisted tree trunk, which is close to the sky and emits light.

The human part can clearly see the style of worship and belief. The human beings kneeling on the ground facing the trees and cone-shaped stones wear cloaks and robes and hold scepters. There are beautiful women with sacrificial objects and armored warriors with swords, symbolizing the submission of kingship to mystical beliefs.

The twisted trees in the center are spiraling upwards like vines, pushing the luminous cone-shaped stones to the sky like a crowd holding the moon,

The stone emitted countless rays of light in the sky, and the dense lines made Ryze understand the energy of the cone-shaped stone.

Apparently, the humans kneeling in the relief are not twisted trees, but cone-shaped stones that symbolize power above the tree's heart.

Focusing on the relief, and then glanced at the cone-shaped blue rune stone on his left hand, Ryze curled his lips, but sighed deeply.

This relief was obviously not made by the Demacians, because the Demacians did not understand the root cause of the birth of the Forbidden Stone Forest, and naturally they would not worship a broken stone that would emit light, and carved a relief for the broken stone. Then it can only be that a certain local civilization in the past created and carved this relief stone platform,

Obviously, the runes worshiped by that civilization did not bless the civilization to continue to be strong and continued, but turned the civilization into an unknown historical past, which completely disappeared in the long river of history.

In Ryze's view, this is not accidental, it is the inevitable result of coming into contact with runes and believing in runes.

Any civilization or human beings who try to control the rune stone will bring great disaster to the world, without exception.

If it weren't for the existence of the immortal stone platform reliefs, no one would have known that a hundred years ago, there was a powerful royal kingdom on top of the Forbidden Stone Forest.

Even, as long as the relief in front of you is destroyed, the last trace of this dynasty in this world will be erased, and no one will know that there is a civilization that has disappeared here.

Rubbing the relief murals, Ruiz once again felt the fragility and weakness of human civilization in the face of runes.

Vulnerability lies in the fact that humans simply cannot harness the powerful power of the runes, nor can they control the destructive results brought about by the runes,

Weakness lies in the fact that human beings can never refuse such easy-to-obtain powerful power. They can only compromise and accept in the temptation, and then go to self-destruction in the fall.
