"The sword... is a good sword, but it's a pity that the owner doesn't understand swords."

Yasuo touched the broken blade and realized how sharp this sword was. Compared to the magic sword in his hand, this sword was more like a magic sword.

"Don't say that. I'm just a mage. Swords can only be used as decorations for me. If you don't understand swords, just don't understand."

Balliard never thought of becoming a swordsman. Only an "illiterate" could become a peerless swordsman. But he knew too much and couldn't make out the edge of the sword, so he could still be a swordsman.

"But didn't you say that you are Yi's senior brother? That's all you have?"

Yasuo was very disappointed. Ever since he became the ninth level, he had always wanted to learn from the successors of the Wuju Way. He believed that the legendary Wind Sword Way was not weaker than the Wuji Way, but once, he, the successor of the Wind Sword Way,

Weaker than the successors of the Wuji Way.

"Senior brother, it's just that I started training earlier than him, but I basically didn't learn much about swordsmanship, and my swordsmanship level is worse than that of Yi before he became a disciple of Wuji."

This world has never been a good place for swordsmen. Swordsmen are sharp-edged. In Runeland of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, sharp-edged swordsmen will encounter disaster sooner or later. This disaster may come from others, or it may come from the world.

Yes, it may also come from one's own heart.

In this world line, it seems that Yi has not survived his own mental calamity.

"It's so boring. A good sword was wasted."

Yasuo solemnly handed the broken sword to Baliard. He respected this artifact-level sword, but despised its owner.

"There is no such thing as waste. Except for me, if anyone else takes this sword, the strong one will not be able to exert much power. The weak one will most likely only have their body and soul sucked dry by this sword."

Although Valliard could not bring out the full power of ruin, this was completely different from the fact that others could not bring out the power of ruin.

Other strong people holding dilapidated weapons will be disturbed by dilapidated weapons due to inconsistent compatibility, absorbing the energy in their bodies, and even affecting the user's soul. This determines that other strong people holding dilapidated weapons can use up to one-third of the power of dilapidated weapons.

Power, this is an upper limit.

When Balliard uses Destruction, because of its extremely high adaptability, he can exert 200% of the power of Destruction, which is also the upper limit. But in fact, he can't use a sword and can exert one-tenth of the power of Destruction.

Even that’s good.

"The Divine Sword has spirit, why would he choose you as its master?"

Yasuo couldn't figure it out. The quality of this sword was so good. He had never seen a sword of this quality. Even the sword Yi held in his hand was slightly inferior to the dilapidated one.

"Because I am the king of Shadow Island, this sword, from the moment it became an artifact, is destined to become the sword of the king of Shadow Island. Even if the king of Shadow Island does not use a sword, it is just a status symbol."

But in fact, Balliard does not need this symbol, his divinity has already explained everything.

"……corruption."

Yasuo breathed out contemptuously, this is the kingdom of death that everyone fears? It is so corrupt that it uses artifacts as a symbol of status.

"You have never seen a more corrupt country. Demacia, a just country, is the most corrupt kingdom."

Balliard doesn't like Demacia, he prefers Noxus. Demacia is regulated by high-sounding laws and justice. However, these rigid laws are only rigid for civilians. In front of nobles, the law is

It is flexible, like a toy that can be manipulated by others.

In Demacia, mages are persecuted, and the reason for all this is Demacia's laws. However, if mages appear among the nobles, these mages will become the secret power of Demacia. How ridiculous.

Although Noxus is conquering other countries, its national strength is growing day by day, and its people have a ladder to rise. No one can stop them. As long as they have the ability, they will be discovered. Compared with those corrupt and backward kingdoms,

Noxus is more suitable for the vast majority of people.

Noxus granted freedom to the people who were enslaved by the nobles and kings, and gave them civil rights, so that they could say no to anyone.

"...I have also heard a little bit about Demacia."

This is Noxus after all, and Zaun and Piltover are both under Noxus' rule. How could Noxus abandon the technology of Zaun and Piltover?

Numerous telegrams and radio stations would, from time to time, promote how good Noxus' system was, and then criticize Demacia's system for having "double standards."

Maybe there are some mistakes in this. The nobles of Demacia are not all disgusting moths. The royal family of Demacia has always been committed to upholding justice and protecting the people. However, do they dare to attack those moths? Do they dare to destroy the current situation of Demacia?

"Peace"?

"We can already see Besilico, go directly to the church?"

Valyard said no more. Since Yasuo knew what was going on in Demacia, he didn't need to waste time educating Yasuo.

Demacia's justice can basically only be covered by nobles, soldiers and their families. Demacia's powerful army cannot be created by oppressing the people. Demacia's soldiers can basically be regarded as the lowest nobles.

.

"Otherwise, where else do you want to go? I don't think there is anything around here that the monarch of Shadow Island would care about."

Yasuo's mission this time was to bring Valliard back. He didn't want to go to the church in Besilico and Valliard suddenly run away.

"Oh? You really think so?"

Balliard smiled slyly, and the upward curve of the corners of his mouth was beyond the scope of human beings and looked a bit funny.

"Is there really something going on?"

Yasuo looked at Valliad suspiciously. He had lived in Besilico for several years and never left. How come he didn't know what strange things happened near Besilico.

But if nothing unusual happened, how would Valliard, a foreigner, know that there was a problem here?

"Of course. On my way to Shadow Island, I encountered a demon attack. He seemed to be a demon that came down from the Scarlet Moon, lurking in the water. Do you have any impression of this demon? If not, then, this

Where could the devil hide?"

The bottom of the sea is the zenith of another world, and Balliard would not risk his own life to explore it alone. However, if he takes Yasuo with him, Balliard feels that his safety will be guaranteed.

"Under the sea... forget it, who knows what is under the sea? Pi City has been trying to explore the deep sea in the past, but later, this plan was terminated. Do you know why?"

Yasuo doesn't want to die, the bottom of the sea is very dangerous

Danger, Ionian masters always say, in those bottomless abyss lurk extraordinary horrors.

He didn't want to take risks based on a guess, and besides, the ceremony was going to be held in a few days, and he, the ceremony executive, couldn't be absent.

"Sea monsters, and the void...then don't go."

Although Balliard has always believed that swordsmen are "illiterates", this does not prevent him from trusting the combat effectiveness of swordsmen. The destructive ability of swordsmen may not be as good as that of mages, but their ability to survive in danger is much higher than that of mages.

Already.

A mage may die from a trap or a sneak attack, but a swordsman can sense these dangers in advance, avoid them, and then finish off the enemy.

The port of Besilico.

Balliard and Yasuo clambered onto the small boat next to the harbor. The explanation of falling into the water and being killed might attract some attention, but compared to riding a turtle across the sea, this kind of news is nothing.

In order not to attract too much attention, Valliard and Yasuo jumped off the turtle when they were still some distance away from Besilico and swam over.

As for where the ship the two of them were who fell into the sea was... maybe it was washed away, maybe it was swallowed by a sea monster. Anyway, there is no hope that the shipwrecked ship on the sea of ​​Runeterra can still be found.

"Let's go."

Yasuo has already put on his mask at this time, and Kiran must not let him know about his ability to take off the mask.

Suddenly, Balliard fell on his back.

"...It seems that I can't go to church for the time being."

Yasuo was a little helpless. Sometimes he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble would always come. Moreover, it was often his own people who caused trouble for him.

Because of Valliard's fall, the crowd on the dock dispersed. It won't be long before the guards gather here and they have to leave.

"Get up quickly if you're not dead. I don't want to be chased by a large group of guards."

Yasuo is not a rogue now, but a high-ranking member of the Blood Moon Sect. He cannot slaughter the sect's men at will, especially the guards in an open and fair manner.

Otherwise, according to his past temperament, if you want to come after me, that's fine. You'll be invited first on the way to hell.

"I see...Jin, don't you know how to keep a low profile?"

Yes, the person who attacked Valyard and Yasuo when they just returned to Besilico was Jhin. Jhin knew that Valyard would not die, so the way he greeted them seemed to be in line with his killer style.

Identity.

"His art is killing, and art must be tasted by the public. Do you think he will keep a low profile?"

Yasuo often cooperates with Jhin to deal with the demons summoned by the Blood Moon Sect. In addition to the ritual where the priest uses the mask as a medium to summon the mounted demon after successfully passing the mask trial, the Blood Moon Sect has routine summons at the end of every month.

Demonic ritual.

The demons that Jhin and Yasuo were targeting were the demons that would be summoned under normal circumstances.

They wanted to attack the priest, but the priest's strength was not low. After merging with the devil, his strength would increase to another level.

"Okay, where is he?"

Balliard did not find out how Jhin attacked him, nor did he find out where Jhin was, nor did he know where Jhin wanted them to go to meet him after saying hello like this.

"Just follow me."

Obviously this was not the first time that Yasuo was called out by Jhin in this way. The two of them may have a special meeting place.

Twenty minutes later, Yasuo took Valyard into a private house, but there was no sign of Jhin here.

"Are you sure this is here?"

Valliard searched the house, but found nothing.

"Of course it's here,"
