"Ballyard, today is the time for your monthly exam. Where are your team members?"

It has only been a week since the last time Baliard entered the world line of Legend of the Jade Sword. This does not mean that Ryze specially set up more frequent monthly exams for Baliard in order to hone Baliard. All this is because

The last time Ballyard entered the monthly exam world line, it was because an unexpected situation occurred there.

In other words, Balliard entered the Legend of the Jade Sword world line at a time that was not part of the monthly exam and completed the monthly exam task. Although unexpected situations occurred in the monthly exam world line, it can be explained to a large extent.

, the crisis that needs to be dealt with has emerged.

However, there are not many people who can solve the crisis immediately after discovering the crisis like Balliard. Most of them temporarily repelled the enemy, but it will take several opportunities to truly defeat the enemy.

Of course, the fact that Valliard was able to do this has a lot to do with the fact that Brand doesn't use his brain to think very much. Although Brand followed Valliard to find Hearth, Brand found

After Hearth, there is every chance to wait for Balliard to leave, or sneak into Hearth secretly.

Just like when he finally stepped into the Hearth Crater, no one knew how Brand did it. Even if Valyard sealed Brand, no one knew what Malzahar planned for Brand.

Since Malzahar was able to make Brand appear silently in the Hearth Crater, there was actually no need for them to fight Valyard and the others head-on.

"Don't worry, I didn't go to the group, and I didn't kill her. The girl said she wanted to prepare and come back later."

Ryze asked about Balliard's teammates? Obviously, this was the reason why Annie and Balliard successfully formed a team. However, Ryze seemed to be worried, worried that Balliard would not be willing to team up with Anne.

Then there was no other way to break up the team, so he killed Annie ruthlessly?

Valliard didn't have the courage, and even if he wanted to kill Tibbers, he was more than just a toy.

"...I hope you get along well."

Ryze didn't say anything else. He had already told Balliard about the precautions in the world line, so there was nothing to say.

"Ballyard, here I come."

Annie walked into the classroom with Tibbs in her arms, and a glass of juice in her hand... This girl's so-called preparation is to buy a glass of juice at the beverage shop?

"Then let's get started... Let me ask, is this really just a world of free mortals? There won't be any strange creatures, right?"

Baliard always felt that Ryze would agree and directly adopt the world line proposed by Nasus, which was somewhat malicious. It sounded simple, but in fact no one knew what unexpected situations would happen. However,

This matter has become an established fact, and Valliard has no way to change it.

Compared to being kicked into the world line by Ryze, Balliard feels that it is better to go in by himself. However, this does not mean that it is meaningless for Balliard to ask now. Maybe Ryze will see that in Balliard

Since there is no way to escape, why not give Balliard a chance to learn the secrets of the new world line?

"Strange creatures? Of course there are none. It's just an ordinary world line. There are no extraordinary beings or powerful technology, just a group of mortals."

Ryze did not reveal any useful information. Perhaps this was because Balliard asked the question in the wrong way?

"So, do they have any special abilities?"

Balliard changed the way he asked this time. Although mortals are weak, weak guys may not be able to control power.

Doesn't even Balliard himself control a power far beyond his current level? Whether it is the terrifying runic energy reserves in his body or his authority, it is not something that a normal seventh-level transcendent can control.

of.

"It's up to you to discover it yourself."

Ryze smiled slightly, and the teleportation array was activated immediately. The old bald man still did not tell Balliard the secret of the world line at the last moment. However, Ryze's words clearly confirmed Balliard's guess. That

There are pitfalls in the world line.

…

"The rune energy concentration is so low, Tibbers, please measure how much rune energy is in the air."

Anne started to investigate the basic information of this world line as soon as she entered the new world line, while Balliard is now trying his abilities on the side. The former wants to obtain information related to completing the task.

As for the latter - although Balliard is testing how much strength he can exert, in fact, he is testing how much strength he can use to show off his power.

So what if there are pitfalls? The special power in this world cannot be held by all humans, right? As long as not everyone has the power that is special enough to defeat the extraordinary, then Balliard can rely on his own power

Act wantonly.

"According to calculations - one cubic meter of space contains only 10 units of rune energy, which is only one-tenth of the rune energy contained in the human body in the normal world line."

Tibbers is a mechanical bear, a doll "made" by Annie. Although Balliard does not believe this, such a smart and soulful mechanical bear can be made by a little girl? Annie is not a technology person.

Side genius.

So, what is the origin of Tibbs, the bear?

What? Who was sent to protect Anne?

"Only one-tenth?"

As we all know, some characteristics of rune energy are similar to water. Water is permeable, and the same is true for rune energy. The explanation of pervasiveness on the technological side is that molecules flow from high concentration areas to low concentration areas. Because of this, under normal circumstances,

The runic energy in the outside world is always higher than the human body. Otherwise, how can the runic energy corrode the human body?

"It's really a scary proportion."

Balliard discovered that in this world, he could not summon the undead. The rules of this world seemed to have extremely strict control over souls, but that was true. In the world line of Legend of the Jade Sword, the barriers to life and death were so strong that many gods

It can't be opened by Zhuan Du, and in this world with only mortals, is there anyone who can use his own power to knock on the door of life and death?

"Let's go, I noticed that there is the breath of living people in the east...and the breath of death. A large number of deaths may not be an ordinary thing."

"Um."

After Anne teamed up with Valliard, she became much more well-behaved, and it seemed that she really fit her status as a little angel in the hearts of most people.

Because they could not summon the undead, Balliard and Anne could only walk on foot. Although Anne said that Tibbers had Salvari vehicles in his body, which were some runic cars, but... given Anne's age and the length of her feet,

, it seems like you don’t have the qualifications to learn to drive, right?

Although Balliard himself can't drive, he has also seen what Galen's two police cars look like, so...after those two cars are produced, whether Anne drives or Balliard drives himself, they will

There is a sense of déjà vu.

"A...city?"

On the hillside, Balliard saw the city standing on the plain in the distance. The city wall was estimated to be more than twenty meters high. In the era when Balliard's original world line was located,

These are all very outrageous city walls. Even if it is an immortal fortress preserved from distant ancient times, the outermost city wall is only this high.

Because with the continuous advancement of technology and rune magic, the emergence of various powerful mages and warriors, and the increasing armies of various countries, the establishment of tall city walls has no other use than a waste of money, resources and manpower.

.

Generally speaking, only the main cities of various countries still retain their city walls, but even so, the height of the city walls of Mithril City is only as high as when it was first established. If you want to withstand the attacks of powerful magicians and warriors, you must either build up the entire city wall.

To carve extremely high-level magic circles, or to use very expensive and rare materials, whether it is the former or the latter, it means that building a truly useful city wall is a burden that the country cannot bear.

The current Runeterra is not like the ancient times where the corpses of dead ancient creatures are everywhere. After the death of some powerful ancient creatures, a rare mineral deposit is directly formed. The Immortal Fortress is built on such a mine.

Of course, Demacia had a lot of mineral deposits at the beginning, but countless years of fighting - human civil war and the expulsion of the powerful descendants of those ancient creatures, caused serious damage to the city walls. After all, a human country does not only need a capital.

of city walls.

"It's quite an ancient style. Every country in this world should still be in the stage of conquest and expansion, right?"

Noxus is a country that is keen on conquest. Noxus relied on conquest to build its country. After the country gradually declined, it relied on conquest to once again stand on the top of the world.

"It should be like this. I can feel that many dead souls are dissipating. A war or rebellion has just ended. Do you want to go in?"

Of course, Balliard is not willing to form a team with Anne, but since they are already in the same team, Balliard cannot ignore Anne's ideas. After all, Anne's strength can be considered a powerful one.

With the help, he can hit more than normal.

"certainly."

Annie walked toward the city with her little feet.

"Are you sure? There has just been a war there, and the city is littered with corpses. Believe me, you won't want to see those."

Balliard briefly took care of Anne. Even if Anne was very violent, she was still just a child. A child with such strength at such an age. If he could have a good relationship with Anne, Balliard would certainly not

reject.

"What's the matter? I've been on the battlefield since I was six years old. Tibbers is very strong."

Annie comes from a world line where technology and magic merge. The concentration of rune energy in that world line is thinner than that of a normal world line. Although it is not as exaggerated as this world line, the thin rune energy results in no

After years of accumulation, it is difficult for mages to release powerful magic.

However, Runeng Technology, a brand-new technology path that was born out of Hex Technology and Alchemy Technology and formally incorporated rune energy into the technology system, has changed the situation in that world line. If the mages are insufficient in rune energy,

If they cannot cast spells arbitrarily, they can build a machine that is suitable for their magic and rely on the large amount of runic energy stored in the machine to cast spells, which can not only bring out the strength of mages and warriors, but also protect their bodies.

This kind of machine is called the Machine God. In Annie's era, humans had begun interstellar immigration and encountered many outer space creatures. In order to adapt to fighting in the cosmic environment, the Machine God was strengthened and transformed into the Galaxy Demon.

God of installation.

Although Anne is old

Small, but the teddy bear she transformed not only gave her the strength and opportunity to join the Super Galaxy Team, but also brought a powerful weapon to the human side. After all, other Galaxy Magic Robot Gods need it.

The driver controls it, and Tibbers created by Annie is an autonomous robot, which perfectly solves the problem of human beings lacking a large number of "warriors" adapted to space battles.

The mass-produced autonomous robotic teddy bears are a powerful military force for humans to occupy and conquer alien planets.

"Okay, don't blame me for not reminding you."
