"Can you tell us who the man was who opened the door to hell thousands of years ago?"

Hearing what Balliard said, Anne was also a little worried. Although this kind of secret should be known by their organization that wants to protect Runeterra, their questioning might make Yasuo doubt their origins, but

, compared to knowing the truth, this suspicion is nothing.

"...Of course, that mage's name is - Ryze."

Yasuo paused for a moment and thought about the identity of these two people. He was an extraordinary person around five or six years old. It was normal for this age group not to know this secret. If he spent two or three years cultivating to become an extraordinary person,

There is also extensive knowledge, so why should anyone else be alive? And Balliard, the non-god with divinity in Anne's mouth who has lived for tens of thousands of years, seems to be expected to know this secret.

However, the reason why the secret is a secret is because there are very few people who know the secret. There are not many classics of that era. As for demons, which are related to the safety of life in Runeterra, the relevant records are even vaguer. Only those with extremely powerful powers are even more vague.

Only powerful magic associations or sects are qualified to keep that kind of secret. As for other people? Either destroy relevant records actively or passively.

"...the premonition came true."

Balliard and Annie looked at each other. Sure enough, it was true that the person who caused the changes in Runeterra was still the bald mage. I really don't know why Ryze keeps causing trouble. Could it be that in the normal world line, what should have happened?

Isn't it good for history to protect Runeterra?

Is it necessary to do this or that to make certain world lines in Runeterra look weird?

"What premonition?"

Yasuo felt very abnormal. As an extraordinary person, especially an extraordinary person who mastered the wind-controlling swordsmanship, his hearing was very keen. Even the movement thousands of meters away could be transmitted to his ears by the wind.

The whispers that Liad and Anne spoke almost at the same time naturally fell into his ears.

"Nothing, just keep talking."

Annie doesn't want to tell Yasuo about Salva yet. Anyway, the two of them have now gained Yasuo's trust. Even if Yasuo finds out that there is something wrong with their identities, it will not affect their cooperation.

.

"Although the gate of hell was opened and demons entered the world, before the countries of Runeterra could gather their armies to exterminate the demons, the Icathians opened the passage to the void, and the war broke out. Runeterra was simultaneously occupied by the void.

The invasion of demons can be described as internal and external troubles, but unexpectedly, the mage who opened the gate to hell and transformed himself into a demon led the demons to expel the void together with humans and other races."

Yasuo doesn't believe this. He thinks this is just the Red Moon Sect bragging. How many people can know about the things of that era? Even if someone knows, how much do they know the truth? To make him believe that the devil will

To fight against the void with humans, at least he must see the scene with his own eyes, not just read the information in the books, especially the books of the Scarlet Moon, a sect that believes in demons.

"The devil also participated in that war?"

Balliard does not think that there will be errors in the recording of this kind of information, because there are magic associations in Runeterra that record and preserve the truth. False records may appear in some small families or small churches, but, like the Holy

Internal scriptures within a sect such as Yue, which have been passed down for thousands of years, will be "corrected".

It's not that the magic association doesn't want more people to know the truth, but neither fools nor extraordinary people will easily believe what others say. Therefore, the way this magic association "corrects" the classics is to train talents to join it.

And talents are rare, and cultivating talents takes a lot of energy. It is already very troublesome to make the classics of the big forces in Runeterra correct. Do you want the small forces to have the same treatment as the big forces? Dream on, what are you dreaming about?

All.

"I don't know about this, and I can't believe everything in the book. However, the devil participated in that war and contributed to the protection of Rune Land. It is indeed the cornerstone of the Red Moon's establishment of the sect. Otherwise, even if it is the god, then

Demon gods will not be believed in in Runeterra, but I can’t tell whether this is a method used by the sect to deceive believers.”

Who would believe in demons without any reason? Isn't it bad to believe in gods? There are so many gods in Runeterra. The mighty and domineering gods include those from Freljord, brave and beautiful gods, and the angels of Demacia.

Isn’t it delicious? Even if you are the kind of lunatic who desires destruction and destruction, isn’t there a place like Shadow Island? You can believe in death.

There are gods in all aspects, so why should we believe in demons? Therefore, the achievement of demons protecting Runeterra is very important.

"Then what?"

Balliard is almost certain that demons have indeed contributed to Runeterra. Otherwise, do you think that the Sun Sect on Mount Targon is a vegetarian? How can a church that wants to develop believers conceal itself from the Sun Sect, the number one in the world, no matter how hidden it is?

The sect has lasted ten thousand years? Don’t be ridiculous, okay? There is a god above your head.

The Sun Sect has also always been committed to protecting Runeterra, because Targon is the eyes, mouth and hands of the gods. It often accepts oracles to do things that are difficult for gods to do, such as

Said - The Ascended One who sealed the Fall, that is, the Dark One

Descendants.

The ascended ones are all human incarnations chosen by the great will. They can use the relevant authority and power, but the great will itself will not interfere with them, because the great will is a god who only possesses divinity, and the ascended ones have become gods.

For people with human nature, as long as the ascended ones are still demigods, their divinity will not interfere with their human nature. However, once they become gods, their human nature will no longer be able to control their bodies.

However, if the ascended one, that is, the human incarnation of the great will, acts arbitrarily, the humanity of the gods in the sky will not do nothing. This is why a human sect can seal the human incarnation of the great will.

But the Solar Sect, which is so powerful and has the largest background, actually did not attack the Scarlet Moon, a sect that believes in demons. Doesn’t it mean that the existence of this sect has been recognized by the gods? This was probably done deliberately by Ryze.

Yes, the great wills are the rules of the world. For every race, those who have merit are rewarded and those who have delinquency are punished. Although without the help of demons, Icathia's war against the void will not fail, but those who participated should be rewarded.

, allowing sects that believe in demons to exist should be just one of the rewards.

"After that war, the Scarlet Moon Sect was established. It seems that it was because the mage opened the door to hell. Even though the demons basically returned to hell after the war, there is still a place where demons often live.

Appear, that place is Besilico, to be precise, it is along the coast of the Sea of ​​Watchers. Only in the Sea of ​​Watchers and its nearby areas can you see the scarlet moon at the end of each month. This is the origin of the name of the sect.

.”

Yasuo told everything he knew, but how many secrets could a person like him who was not loyal to the sect know?

"Sea of ​​Watchers? Are there demons on the Shadow Islands too?"

Why did the Sea of ​​Watchers get its name? Initially, it was because the sect of the Supreme God was in Bilgewater. People said that the Supreme God was watching over Shurima, Valoran, and Freljord in Bilgewater.

And Ionia, and later, the birth of the Shadow Island caused the Haunting Night to wreak havoc, and the Watcher also had the meaning of the supreme god watching over the realm of the dead in the world.

Based on this meaning, if we speculate further, the gate between hell and the human world may be on the Sea of ​​Watcher. However, the devil came to Runeterra from somewhere on the Sea of ​​Watcher, and the Shadow Island played a role in it.

What kind of character? Balliard is well aware of the characteristics of the Shadow Island, which is the extension of the underworld in the human world. To say that hell and the underworld are not related is just a joke. Both of them are clearly the names of the world of the dead.

"Probably? Few people dare to go to Shadow Island, and I have never heard of anyone coming back alive. Maybe that is the source of demons."

Yasuo thought about it carefully. There were very few records of Shadow Island in the sect's books. No, he didn't find the words Shadow Island in those must-read books. Maybe there were records of Shadow Island in other books, but

, how could he know if he didn’t read those books? Moreover, in those classics, there was no record of the location of the Gate of Hell. If that person really opened the Gate of Hell on Shadow Island, he wanted to completely remove the devil from it.

Expulsion from Runeterra is not easy.

"It is indeed possible."

Baliard found that Jhin didn't attack him again, so he had time to chat with Yasuo. Compared with Annie, it was easier for him to talk to him to get useful information. After all, he was the king of the Shadow Island.

, is an immortal species that has been severely beaten by society for countless years,

"Are there any other records about the sect? Or, is there anything else you want to tell us?"

"That's enough. If I tell you more information, I'm afraid those people will discover the problem, which is not conducive to your lurking. However, I don't know yet whether you will contribute."

Although Yasuo "killed" his master, killed his friends, and killed countless compatriots, he was still a good person and hoped to contribute to the protection of Runeterra. However, his "protection" was different from Balia's

Is the "protection" of De and Anne the same? He does know a lot of information, but he does not intend to tell Balliard and Anne about it, and his identity is the top priority. Without confirming these two people

He would not tell them his position in the church or what he wanted to do before they helped him.

Moreover, judging from his current performance, Balliard and Anne may regard him as an enemy of the Scarlet Moon Sect, and they are bent on causing trouble to the Scarlet Moon. As long as he does not say anything, these two people can

Do you know his identity? This scarlet robe may be his disguise to sneak into the sect and collect intelligence.

"……What's the meaning?"

Balliard heard that Yasuo had something to hide from them, but to be honest, his and Anne's identities were already doubtful, and he asked some questions that were not consistent with their identities. Even though Yasuo wanted to

I told them some information for the sake of protecting Runeterra, but I won't keep it all.

"My purpose is to kill those demons and prevent them from bringing killing and death to the world. This may conflict with your purpose."

Yasuo doesn't hide his concerns.

"You mean...demons will protect Runeterra?"

Baliard suddenly understood what Ryze wanted to do. In Ryze's class, Ryze once said that there was a way to prevent the void from invading Runeterra.

There are two ways. One is to dispel the idea of ​​Void invading Rune Land, and the other is to prevent Void from invading Rune Land. A typical example of the former is the world line of Legend of the Jade Sword. Why does Void want to eat Rune Land? Isn’t it because

The runic energy on Runeterra? If it can’t get this energy, why should Void focus on Runeterra?

As for the second method, there are two ways. The first way is to weaken the strength of the void. This is the case in Balliard's second monthly test of the world line. It restricts extraordinary beings so that intelligent void creatures cannot enter Runeterra.

With an organized human army to wipe out the beast-like low-level void creatures, coupled with the power of will like the national destiny, the low-level void creatures can neither effectively organize attacks nor break defenses, and can only be wiped out bit by bit by the human army.

, what’s the point of having a large number?

The second way is to enhance the strength of Rune Land, which is probably the choice of Ryze in this world line, right? From a macro perspective, both the world of the living and the world of the dead belong to Rune Land, the cycle of life and death, and the world of the living.

The dead will die, and the dead will also regenerate. Although the world of the dead in most world lines has not done much to protect Runeterra, the world of the dead cannot be separated from the world of the living. If the void wants to swallow Runeterra, the world of the dead will be lost.

Relying on this, from this point of view, the creatures in the world of the dead will also devote themselves to the continuation of Runeterra.

But why does the World of the Dead not contribute? Because the World of the Dead is in the main material world of Runeterra. It only has the territory of Shadow Island, and countless undead are trapped in the underworld. Even if it wants to protect Runeterra, there is nothing it can do. Therefore, Ryze

Will take the initiative to open the door to hell and give the creatures of hell an opportunity to interfere in the main material world for a long time - the battle of the void on Icathia.

"That's right, think of the demons as predators entering a new environment, and humans as their food. The void is another group of beasts that want to prey on Runeterra. The demons will watch their things being destroyed by others.

Did the hunter take it away?"

Yasuo doesn't know many secrets like Baliard, but he knows that beasts have a strong sense of territory. Since the demons are interested in Runeterra and can enter Runeterra, how can they let the Void get a piece of the pie.
