Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

In Kalya's view, people in Runeterra today generally lack knowledge of the void.

All kinds of voids have long been quietly buried in the corners of history. Even historians who are accustomed to rummaging through piles of old papers and trying to restore everything do not know exactly what this dangerous power means.

Just like in Shurima now, no one considers the void to be a threat.

Even though the empire's demise was directly related to the void, even in Azir's eyes, the void was never his main consideration.

There is no doubt that this is arrogance.

In addition to arrogance, the reason for this situation has a lot to do with the Monolithic Fortress - the Monolithic Fortress built with the last strength of the empire was so dazzling that people were completely unaware of it. What does a floating fortress made entirely of pure elements mean?

That was the last glory of the Shurima Empire, and even overdrawn the future of the empire to a certain extent.

The result of this lack of knowledge is that the current Shurima people are too tolerant of belief in the void, which directly leads to the gradual spread of belief in the void.

Crazy believers use the livestock and resources of Runeterra to feed the void. The result of this can only lead to the continuous expansion of the power of the void. These people who only seek peace of mind cannot see the twisted growth of the void under the earth, and it is even unknown that it will one day come back. .

But now it seems that even Azir does not regard the void as a threat. There is no part about the void in his plan - this is already very clear.

"The rift in the void has been closed long ago." Unfortunately, Azir still couldn't understand Kalya's worries, and his tone was full of doubts, "Even if there are really stupid people following the footsteps of the void, what does that mean?"

"The Void Rift has only been closed." Kalya sighed, "But deep in the earth, Runeland is still riddled with holes - with the strong support of the Icathian Mage King at that time, even without the Void Rift, they It still attracts this terrifying power, not to mention that the void rift is only barely sealed now?"

Azir was a little sluggish.

Kalya's words make sense logically, but to be honest, they are a bit unfounded. The Icathian War has been over for thousands of years, but whether it was during the Darkin War or the Rune War, the Void Rift remained the same. There was silence. The power that almost swallowed Runeterra in the past seemed to have fallen into complete silence.

If Azir needs to consider the void and the void believers at this time, then there will be too many things to consider.

Since void believers have to consider...

Do world runes also need to be taken into consideration?

Do we need to make a plan to deal with the wandering dark descendants?

What about the legacy of the Kingdom of Kamaviya?

It is difficult for any plan to be comprehensive, so Azir must focus on the big and let go of the small, and in his view, the Void Believers are this "little".

However, Kalya obviously had a different understanding from him.

In Karya's view, the existence of Belvis has proven the danger of the void. Unlike other unstable factors, the power of the void is subversive, and it is entirely possible to form a combination with other unstable factors. As long as the response is slightly careless, the entire Runeterra will suffer.

The void that is eager to devour will not give up any opportunity to devour Runeterra!

As a result, the focus of the conversation between Kalya and Azir soon came to the issue of the void. After Kalya expressed his fear of the void in no secret, and shared the story of Kassadin with Azir. , Azir finally understood what Kalya meant to a certain extent.

Azir even said in a somewhat Karya style that he really lacked understanding of the void. This was exactly the time when Karya was needed to take charge. He hoped that Karya would stay in Antasil, which actually made him heartbroken. Karya, who wanted to take the exam, couldn't laugh or cry.

"Stop pretending." Facing Azir's expectations, Kalya shook his head and refused without hesitation, "You have prepared everything. The banner of the last emperor is more powerful than a prince's feathers. ——Although many of the infrastructures in South Shurima are abandoned, the foundations of most places are still there. With Nasus' help, it is not difficult to repair them bit by bit. The best I can do if I stay here is to do nothing. It’s just a mascot.”

"So, you still plan to go to Demacia?" Azir still seemed a little confused, "Is the Prince Regent destined to give up his loyalty to Shurima?"

"This is not giving up." Kalya shook his head helplessly, "I'm just going to a place that needs me more."

"Shurima needs you."

"There is no need for it yet."

"temporary?"

"At least for now."

"..."

"..."

Although he prepared many reasons, Azir still failed to keep Kalya in the end.

It seems that Kalya has made up his mind to start a new business in Demacia. Even Azir can't persuade him to stay - and what's interesting is that after confirming that Kalya will not stay in Shurima for the time being, Azir was inexplicably relaxed.

From beginning to end, he never mentioned the issue of Karya's status, and seemed to have acquiesced in Karya's aloofness that he was willing to stay; but in fact, Karya's identity as a true ancestor is very useful as a banner, but if it is true Being around him is actually a challenge to the order of New Shurima.

No one likes someone pointing fingers at them, even if that person is their ancestor.

It's not bad for Azir, at least he is an admirer of Kalya.

Xerath is more obvious and doesn't really want Kalya to stay.

On the contrary, Nasus, who had different political views with Kalja in the past, expressed the most direct hope that Kalja would stay in Shurima, and Shurima also needed Kalja.

But unfortunately, Kalya chose to refuse in the end.

When Azir brought the results of the communication back to Xerath and Nasus, Nasus was a little disappointed but accepted it, while Xerath was relieved.

Although if Kalya is here, Azir will have greater confidence whether it is communicating with Icathia or contacting Ixtar in the future, but now that he already knows the existence of Kalya, ask him to come forward when communication is needed. , I’m sure Kalya won’t refuse.

Since Kalya doesn't want to stay, it would be a good outcome to let him leave and let the distance bring beauty.

Kalya also made good use of this. After sharing the secret of the Golden Wheel Stone and repeatedly telling Azir to be careful of the void that was ready to move, he finally parted ways with Azir.

The three of Azir will turn south, passing through Vicoura to inspect the current situation in Shurima, while returning to Antasil.

Kalya will stay in Vazuan for a while - and by the way, he will also check up on Vazuan's work and see what the city looks like now.

……………………

The integration of the two cities in Wazuan is not going smoothly.

Even though nearly twenty years have passed since the twin cities raised the Varzuan flag, the rift between Zaun and Piltover has not been completely healed.

But fortunately, with a series of breakthroughs in recent years, the Twin Cities have now found the best way to complement each other.

Using rune stones and magic circuits as the basis, using Hex technology as the application method, through countless collisions, the two cities are complementing each other and gradually opening up a new path.

A very unique road.

After Zaun was gradually freed from mining and Piltover was deprived of cheap hex gems, it looked like Piltover's future was gradually bleak.

But with Jace's strong support, Piltover boldly used Piltover's old technology to adapt rune technology and alchemy technology.

Three years ago, after a lot of hard work, the two cities finally achieved the unification of technical standards.

The "Hex Rune Interface" that Jace and Viktor spent ten years developing together has passed its final test.

This interface, which is called "enough to change the future of Runeterra", looks as inconspicuous as connecting a copper ring.

Its function is also very simple. Its only function is to allow rune magic to directly connect to all existing Hex circuits.

But anyone with a brain will understand what its existence means to Hex Technology, to the rune magic circuit, and to Vazuan.

Piltover's accumulation in design and application is very amazing - you know, in the past few hundred years, Mrs. Piltover, who is not short of money, has been studying how to apply the power of Hex Crystal , and even used natural Hex crystals to complete a rather sophisticated body transformation that even the Shurima Empire had not been able to accomplish.

It seems that any applicable field of Hex Crystal, Mrs. Piltover has accumulated technology in her hands.

And this accumulation of technology, with the birth of the Hex Rune Interface, can now be freely applied to all magic fields.

From a certain perspective, Vazuan has realized the vision of industrializing Kalya's magic to a certain extent.

For ordinary people without magical talent, since they cannot perceive magic, it will be very difficult for them to learn magic circuits and make achievements in the field of rune stone industry; but this does not prevent them from putting their talents in Hex Technology Field, go and apply rune magic!

Moreover, due to the stable nature and structure of the rune stone, although the energy transported through the Hex Rune interface is somewhat lost, it is more stable, and it can naturally avoid being affected by the environment and there will be no magic tide, so it is easier to be utilized. .

Under this circumstance, Wazuan quickly produced a large number of various application patents.

It can be as small as a perpetual motion watch that does not require winding (actually it is not perpetual motion, but it only requires a small piece of rune stone to support its operation for hundreds of years, which is equivalent to perpetual motion), and as large as a sea gliding watch. Hex powered skateboards (divided into rune stone powered and Hex crystal powered versions, the former only allows gliding, the latter supports vertical takeoff and landing and long range endurance), as large as the Hex Airport (a truly automated airport, currently Mainly connected to the Rune Tree Industrial Park in northern Vazuan for transporting materials), these patents have completely changed the social structure of Vazuan on a technical level.

The dual energy sources of rune stones and Hex crystals give Wazuan's inventors more choices. The Hex inventions that bloom like a hundred flowers are now more universal and can be applied in more fields. , the Evolution City has completed further evolution.

I heard that after the successful development of the Hex Rune Interface, Jace and Victor quickly invested in new research, and many newspapers were paying attention to their new research project - and this new project that attracted widespread attention, It's the Hex Magic Interface.

According to Jess in several interviews, the main function of this interface is also very simple, which is to reversely apply various control systems based on Hex Technology logic to magic.

If the Hex Rune Interface means that rune stones and rune magic can be used as the energy source of Hex Technology, then the Hex Magic Interface means that Hex Technology can become the control system for all magic.

And by that time, no matter whether a person has magic talent or not, through this interface, he will have the ability to "customize" his own magic.

However, judging from the interview content in the latest issue of Piltover Daily, it seems that the development of Hex Magic Interface is not going smoothly.

Jess said very directly, "Maybe this will be his last research in his lifetime. It's not that he plans to retire after completing it, but he is not sure whether he can complete this research."

To be honest, when Kalja read this interview in Piltover Daily, he was really surprised.

Even though he had high hopes for Hex Technology, Kalya never thought that Vazuan would be able to deliver such an answer in less than twenty years.

Although in Kalya's view, the Hex Magic Interface may not be successfully invented by Jace in his lifetime, at least the other party's attitude is enough to make Kalja full of respect for him.

(The magic control theory course is a super subject. In Runeterra, the fields of magic are very diverse, and the Hex magic interface that Jace is currently studying is far from being a universal interface. At most, it is Reverse Hex Rune interface.)

At the beginning, Kalya wandered around Wazuan with the mentality of checking his homework.

But after learning bit by bit about the city's achievements and experiences in the past decade or so, Karya had a rare feeling of "I am getting old."

The development of Forsbarrow has been expected by Kalja.

But Vazuan's development period was far beyond Kalya's expectations.

The so-called surprise...should be nothing more than that, right?

Thinking of this, Kalya suddenly wanted to go to Wazuan's joint laboratory.

Maybe... Jace and Victor now need a copy of "Magic Analysis Theory", a "Basics of Magic Control" and an "Introduction to Magic Taxonomy"?

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Hex Technology’s control methods:

The greatest significance of Hex technology is that it transforms the magic power that many people cannot observe and is difficult to control accurately into Hex energy that is observable and quantifiable - the flow of magic power can be controlled, but it is difficult to quantify, but Hex energy Si Technology can be quantified by adding plug-ins and valves.

Although advanced elemental magic can also do this, compared to it, Hex Technology is undoubtedly much more straightforward.
