Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

The top floor of Meredith Mage Tower.

A book shining with black light flew down from the bookshelf floating in the air and fell into Ryan's hands.

Looking at the book called "The Mystery of the Soul" in his hand, he smiled and said:

"Noxian nobles are not strong, but there are many good things."

"Bullshit, as stupid as Cornigan."

Syndra turned the pages like a noble lady, but there was a trace of disdain on the corner of her beautiful mouth.

Konigan was her first and only mentor, and he taught her not how to master power, but how to suppress her power.

When her power couldn't hold back any longer, she realized her mentor's deception. Then she got out of control, turning the former Philore into scorched earth.

Afterwards, the Spirit of Ionia appeared and, like her mentor, wanted to restrain her.

In the end, due to her weak control over her power, she was sealed in the Dream Pool until Ryan, who was in front of her, would unblock her.

"Ionia sees your power as the source of evil, but I don't think so. Your only mistake is that your power is too weak."

Syndra raised her head slightly, looking at the back of Ryan holding the book in a trance. This is what the other party said to her after knowing her experience.

She still remembered that at that time, she smiled very happily. Ryan was the only one who dared to say she was weak.

It is obvious that the opponent's strength is not as good as his own, but what he said is so natural.

Afterwards, they had a simple magic contest.

With the same amount of magic power output, she was completely defeated.

When her magic power increased to twice the opponent's, she still failed.

Although she can destroy Ryan's magic in an instant, she already knows in her heart that she is not strong enough.

A child with a weapon is a very vivid metaphor.

After that, Ryan didn't give her any preaching, just took her back to the castle.

The core of the castle is not a luxurious aristocratic residence, but this seemingly inconspicuous mage tower.

Inscribed on it is a complex rune circle that connects magic to every corner of the castle. But for her at that time, there was nothing remarkable about it.

The reason he brought her here was the collection of thousands of books about magic.

"Knowledge is the source of a mage's power."

She didn't understand the sentence at first.

But as she immersed herself in reading, she unexpectedly discovered that she was gradually able to control her magic.

After being familiar with the principles of magic and how dark magic is used, she is no longer so ignorant of her own magic.

Every time she reads a book about magic, she has a deeper understanding of magic and is more able to control her own power.

Keep asking, keep talking, keep reading...

Her grip on power is getting stronger and stronger, and her own magic power is growing wildly.

She was obsessed with the feeling of getting stronger, but she knew it wasn't enough.

Facing the Ionian Soul, she still has no chance of winning. In the future, she will become stronger and go back.

And the person who brought all the changes to her was the mage who was turning the book.

Ryan was still immersed in the book in his hand. In the silent mage tower, there was only the sound of fingers rubbing the pages of the book.

After a long time, he raised his head regretfully:

"Mostly repetitive knowledge about souls and black magic. Noxus is too primitive to document the use of magic."

Excluding the Freljord, who lost his legacy due to war, Ionia has the longest history.

But the people there use the power of nature and follow the way of nature, and rarely leave behind their own cultivation experience.

Apart from the Equilibrium sect, there is no other ancient heritage.

The ancient Shurima has a history of nearly 4,000 years, but the Ascension God seems to rely on the power of God, and there are too few people with knowledge. On the contrary, in its affiliated areas, Ixtar and Icathia have good magical attainments.

But these two places are extremely special, and even the power of the empire cannot touch them.

In addition, only the mysterious Shadow Isle has had magical splendor, but there is more danger there.

"If there is no record, create our own way. This is what you said to me."

Syndra turned the pages, with a different color in her eyes.

Magic, a never-ending road.

Now, no one can stop her from gaining power, and no one can control her!

"I haven't lost my faith, you said yesterday that you have a new discovery?"

Ryan closed the book and turned his eyes to the beautiful woman sitting at the desk.

Syndra nodded lightly, her eyes dyed dark and deep.

She stretched out her white palm and stroked in the air, her fingertips flashed with black awns, and five different patterns appeared.

"You once said that according to the records of the world runes in Rune Land, there are five world runes discovered so far. The colors are: red, yellow, blue, cyan, and green!"

Five different colors appeared in mid-air, and Syndra continued:

"According to our previous assumptions, they should each represent an element. That is, fire, earth, water, wind and nature."

Ryan nodded slightly and offered his own opinion:

"But the 'perfect timing'

Discovery shatters this notion. Moreover, 'storm gathering' should not simply be attributed to the wind attribute. "

'Perfect timing' can strengthen the control of time, and 'Storm Gathering' is to devour the surrounding magical elements all the time to enhance its own mana. The use of these two is obviously not related to the element.

This is the consensus he has long reached with Syndra, he will tell the other party what he has researched, and Syndra will do similar things.

It is a great blessing in the world to have a like-minded person studying the same field together.

"It's true." Syndra continued, "So according to my guess, what the world runes symbolize is not an element, but a certain law, or a concept."

World runes have existed since the beginning of Runeterra, and unlike other runes, world runes are unique.

"It's very likely that this is the case." Ryan thought for a moment and agreed with this point of view, "Unfortunately, the mage is tight-lipped about the world's runes, and it is difficult for us to know the secrets they really contain."

"The person you mentioned is the same as Konigan." Syndra's face turned cold, "Just because the runes have brought disaster to the world, to conclude that they will destroy the world, ignorant. He Why don't you think about how many people can be guided and saved by opening up the mystery of the rune."

Ryan looked at the resentful Syndra dumbfounded. Compared with when he first met him, it was really different.

At the beginning, Syndra was full of hatred and anger, believing that her power existed to destroy the world.

After reading countless magic books and records of her predecessors, her current state of mind seems to be much better.

"Although he refuses to say, now we might as well guess based on the existing data, what laws or concepts they represent, and where are they most likely to be at present..."
