Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Amazing perfect timing."

Seeing the metallic luster of Mithril steel on Orianna's body, Ryan couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although there is the protection of runes, the opponent still has to endure the pain of being squeezed by flesh and blood when merging, and at the same time ensure that each piece of material appears in the corresponding position of the body.

And once the timing is not grasped, there is only the ending of instant physical death.

The selection and quantification of each material was almost completed by the girl in front of him, and he just gave a list of his own resources.

Gradually, the whites of Orianna's eyes disappeared, replaced by a pair of eyes that glowed with sky-blue light.

Her body was completely covered with mithril steel, her face had a metallic sheen, and there were gaps in the joints of her body.

Watching Orianna gradually complete the mechanization and gradually give up her physical body. Caterina and Seraphine on the side felt that they were about to stop breathing, staring at Orianna in the center of the rune matrix, nervously unable to extricate themselves.

As the humanized expression on Orianna's face almost disappeared, the magical blue light in Ryan's eyes became even more intense, and the room was almost shrouded in dark blue light, and everything was dyed dark blue.

Only the faint green candlelight of the soulless lamp still swayed under the dark blue envelope.

Ryan watched Orianna evolve gradually, his fingers subconsciously sketched in the air, and a clock-shaped rune was written by light blue dots and appeared in the air.

Katerina's eyes were miniature, and she recognized the sign, which was the rune she saw in Orianna's workshop that day.

"Perfect timing, a miracle born of you."

Ryan whispered the meaning of the runes learned from the ritual.

Agreeing with this, a rune with the same shape floated out of his body, but the color was deeper.

In the air is the rune phantom. With the help of sketching and comprehension, he inspired the rune entity stored in his body.

The "perfect timing" rune entity drifted out and was attached to the rune phantom, forming the real source rune.

The rune drifted slowly towards Orianna, eventually submerging into her body, fitting onto her Hexian heart.

At that moment, Orianna's mechanization also reached a critical moment.

In her mind, the past memories flashed like a slideshow.

Her father who raised her up. Piltover Workshop Street where she has been living. Her childhood dream of wanting to travel the world. Ryan, who suddenly broke into life when she was at a loss and didn't know the way forward. Seraphine, a girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she has known since childhood.

The memories from birth to the moment before the ceremony started echoing in her mind repeatedly.

The flesh and blood of her brain is constantly being replaced by some kind of metal, but in the process, she is still working non-stop to transmit memories and emotions.

Transmitted to the new brain, teleported to her soul, etched in its deepest depths.

hum!

A powerful burst of light, caused by Hex's heart, cast Orianna in a white-and-blue beam that pierced through all obstacles and shot into the sky.

If it weren't for Ryan's Rune Matrix and Noxian soldiers outside the embassy, ​​the curious Mrs. Piltover would have rushed in to investigate.

In the perfect evolution ritual, Orianna's body was transformed from flesh and blood into machinery.

The once fair skin was covered with silver-white Mithril steel, the face and hair were all metallic luster, and there was an extra hole in the back.

From that quiet and weak girl, she became a clockwork machine.

"Clockwork..."

Due to the mechanization of her body, Orianna's soft voice became ethereal, an electronic sound of a machine.

"Sister Orianna?"

Seraphine stared blankly at the other party, she suddenly couldn't hear the other party's soul singing, and couldn't help but panic in her heart.

Ryan still looked calm and waved his palm lightly. The special clockwork made by Mr. Colin on the side was held up by the water and brought into his hand.

After a burst of Mithril steel reinforcement and rune reinforcement, the clockwork slowly flew up and inserted into Orianna's back.

click!

The clockwork turned slowly, and Orianna's eyes regained their vivid color.

She stood up like a machine and bowed stiffly to Ryan:

"Ryan... Mr. Thank you... for your help."

"Your body will take a while to get used to, so just stay in the embassy recently. I will help you transform the device you used to have your own heart. As for whether it is a weapon or a phylactery, it is up to you to choose." Ryan faded out Voice.

"I think...I'll have an answer soon. Thank you, Mr. Ryan."

Hearing the emotion in Orianna's electronic voice, Seraphine breathed a sigh of relief, but still blinked her eyes in confusion:

"Sister Orianna, are you all right? Then why am I...?"

"Xiao Sa, you have been slack in studying runes recently," Ryan said.

"what!"

When Seraphine heard her teacher's words, her whole body shuddered, and she understood the reason.

Orianna is already the same as the teacher, she cannot hear the soul singing.

The other party either crossed the threshold of heroic level, or the teacher's understanding of the soul rune was also engraved in Orianna's body.

Either way, she, a rookie, can't listen

to each other's soul singing.

"I also said that when the ceremony of Sister Orianna is over, I will listen to her passionate singing."

She muttered, but there was no depression in her eyes, but a heartfelt blessing and joy.

At least, the other party's ceremony was a perfect success.

"Study the runes well, the more you know about them, the more singing you can hear. Xiaosa, your talent ranks second among all the mages I've ever seen, and you want to hear the souls of all of them. Singing, it won't take long." Ryan said.

"Second?" Seraphine ignored the lectures behind, "What kind of potential does the most talented mage the teacher has ever seen?"

"Potential? She is a strength that can be realized only by ageing and without too much effort. If someone hadn't interfered, she would have been able to destroy the Ionia continent at will when she was an adult." Ryan's face had a trace of it. miss.

"what!?"

Seraphine had read a lot of books by now, and knew that the continent of Ionia was at least a hundred times the size of the two cities combined.

No one else has to work hard to destroy the continent in adulthood. What kind of talent is this?

Can she rival such a monster?

She suspected that it was not the sum of all the mage talents that the teacher had seen except her, and it was not as good as this terrifying number one.

And she can see the nostalgia in Ryan's eyes, there may be a story between the other two.

I just don't know if it's a feud, a friendship, a brother, or a family, um... maybe it's still love.

Seraphine scratched her ears a little, she liked listening to stories the most, but she couldn't hear Ryan's soulful singing, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.

However, she guessed that it was a story that happened during the time when the teacher defeated Presidian, otherwise Ionia would not have been mentioned.

Ryan used to take Valoran, the continent where Noxus was located, as an example, and she knew that.

"I'm going to study! Don't stop me, I must understand the first rune today!"

Seeing Orianna familiarizing herself with her body, Seraphine threw a fist full of energy, her long pink hair fluttering in the air, and she turned and ran outside.

Ryan looked at this scene amusingly and shook his head slightly. Having an apprentice like Seraphine added a little fun to his boring life.

He recalled that about four years ago, he and the Commander had been defeated by Presidian and had been hunted all the way to the Isle of Philore in Ionia.

In a place called Fantasy Pool, he met a silver-haired girl who made him unforgettable. The girl was sealed by the Soul of Ionia, the mysterious power attached to the girl with the knife.

But on that day, he will release the sealed her.

In an instant, the island of Philo turned into a land of darkness. Ionia's pursuers were swallowed by darkness in an instant.

The other party is the most talented mage he has ever seen, far surpassing even the mage who discussed the secrets of runes with him.

After Tong Xian took a boat back to the Empire, he stayed and talked with the girl about magic for half a year. The ring on his hand is the creation that she used magic to condense.

I don't know if the girl listened to his advice and read more books about magic.

It's a shame that that talent was wasted by Ionia.

Although Ionia is big, she cannot accommodate her born with dark magic, and she continues to stay there, only to be sealed endlessly, without end.

She was born to belong to Noxus, where her talents were perfectly displayed.

No one will be afraid, and will only receive sincere praise and respect from everyone.

Ryan shook his head slightly, pressing the complicated thoughts into his heart, the magic of his eyes dissipated and returned to black and white.

At the same time, the rune matrix surrounding the embassy slowly dissipated, and the soldiers returned to the embassy in an orderly manner, except for the few on duty.

Everything has returned to its original state, but the shock caused by the magic still remains in the hearts of the Shuangcheng people.
