– Meanwhile, in the new shop at Canglan City –
Most saint-level masters had to squeeze some time from their busy schedules to play games, which was why many of them couldn’t be seen in the shop each day.
However, in the recent days after Mr. Fang announced the news about the League of Legends World Champions.h.i.+p Series, the saint-level masters visited the shop more frequently.
“Huh? This old senior has been coming every day recently…?” This was a pinnacle stage saint-level master!
Sala glanced at the door and saw an old mage draped in a white mage’s robe with a weirdly dressed young man standing beside him.
Almost everything about this man appeared to be young, but Sala’s sharp elf intuition told her that this young man was more extraordinary than the old mage.
“Mr. Swein,” the old mage said, “I’ll go get two bottles of c.o.ke.”
“Okay…!” The young man named Swein nodded mildly and said with a solemn expression, “I’ll go get two computers. Come and enter my lobby so that we can get to challenger!”
“We need more people, right?” The old mage lifted five fingers and said, “We need at least five people to form a team.”
“Don’t worry!” Swein said mildly, “I’ll summon masters who were once the most powerful figures in the world! Only we can form a team and become G.o.d-like figures!”
Sala watched them nearby and said, “Ha-?! How come they want to form a team too?!”
“Isn’t it just an entertainment tournament?!” Sala looked around. “Even Xuexue said that there were many such compet.i.tions in the past…”
Anyway, my Snow Pigeon Team will enter the compet.i.tion!
Xuexue said that partic.i.p.ation is important!
This game is so fun that people just can’t stop playing it. That is why even the saint-level masters are forming teams! She mumbled to herself silently, It’s so fun that I’ve been playing it all the time lately…
Unlike the difficult games such as Dark Souls, in this game, the characters projected by champions in Summoner’s Rift weren’t stronger than level 6, and even she could control them with ease.
…
At this moment, the old Mage Hematon returned with two bottles of c.o.ke. While looking around alertly, he said in a low voice, “Now… I guess no one recognizes us, right?”
“On the whole continent,” the young man sat in his computer chair coldly and said while lifting one finger, “There are no more than ten people who are able to recognize us.”
“Hu…” Hematon exhaled and replied, “That’s great.”
He glanced around at the level 8, level 9, and saint-level masters in the shop.
“Don’t let anyone know about it.” Swein didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he asked, “Have you found the champion that is the most fitting for you?”
“I… have bought more than 60 champions with magic crystals…” Hematon sighed heavily. “I just can’t forsake the position of the Chronokeeper. After all, he controls the Law of Time…”
“After countless battles, I think it must have left some impressions in my mind. Don’t you think so?”
“When facing powerful enemies and using these skills in the fiercest battles, it’s true that your instincts would force you to obtain deeper impressions of these laws of nature,” the young man said, “But if you don’t have this kind of talent, all your efforts will be in vain. After all, the Law of Time is one of the most fundamental laws in the universe, and it is not something that anyone can master.”
“Even though these spells are greatly simplified so that even level 6 and level 7 people can cast them.”
“What should I do then…?” Hematon asked uneasily.
A tiny and extremely strange wind condensed in Swein’s palm. “This is the new power that I discovered after having hundreds of matches in League of Legends and studying most of the champions. It’s more elusive than laws of nature.”
“This is…?”
“The Origin of Wind,” Swein said, “It’s the power that I’m comprehending.”
He opened a character, and above the description was the picture of a phoenix condensed entirely from ice. The description said, “Anivia is as much a part of the Freljord as the never-ending frost. Long before mortals had ever set foot on the land’s frigid tundra, she had lived countless lifetimes and died as many deaths. The beginnings and ends of her eternal cycle always heralded great change, from the calming of raging storms to the ebb and flow of ice ages. It is said that when the cryophoenix dies, an era ends; and when she is reborn, a new era begins.”
“This is the power of origin.”
Then, he looked into the distant sky outside of the shop. “Our teammates will be here soon.”
…
The huge black stone castle north to Canglan City was one of the biggest dwarf settlements in a human city.
This huge castle was said to be a very ancient construction which could be traced back to the era before the Great Destruction in the prehistoric times.
Inside the library of the castle, an old dwarf who was wearing gla.s.ses was tidying up the books.
It was dark outside.
The m.u.f.fled deep sounds of wind mingled with ear-grating thunder as if a violent storm was about to arrive.
Gusts howled into the windows, and the dwarf, caught off guard, stumbled under the force.
Then, a bookshelf crashed down.
Crack!
A thunder flashed outside the windows. After the pale lightning bolt flashed, the world was plunged into a deeper darkness.
It seemed like something was trying to crawl out of the abyss-like darkness.
Gusts blew at the books that had fallen on the ground. One moldy ancient book was blown open, and it was a book with the recording about the sealed ancient demon dragon named Catastrophe.
The dwarf bent over to pick up the books, and his gaze fell on this ancient book. It said that if the demon dragon came out, it meant a great catastrophe would come. According to the legends, before the dragon was sealed up in the distant ancient time, the bad luck that it brought made the whole continent experience a huge horrifying event which caused the world to fall apart. Even now, there were many small planes drifting outside the main continent.
“Oh… the ridiculous legends.” The dwarf shook his head and walked to the windows, intending to close them.
At this moment, an ear-grating scream came from the room.
He saw a golden pupil filling the darkness outside the windows!
“Au-!” Scared, he dropped onto the ground on his behind. Even the brave and straight-forward dwarf turned pale.
“Tell me, lowly bug. If you honestly answer the question of the Great Gulth, I’ll allow lowly beings like you to live for a few more weeks.” Low and deep roars came from outside the window. “Tell the Great Gulth how to get to the League of Legends World Champions.h.i.+p Series!”
“Ah?!” The dwarf froze.
“You don’t know it?” The golden pupil glared at him.
“I do! I do!” The dwarf nodded repeatedly.
Then, the dwarf swallowed his saliva and said, “In… Canglan City in the south, there’s a shop called Origins Internet Club!”
Swoos.h.!.+
The violent gust shook the solid castle while stormy winds gushed in through the windows. After a long while, the winds began to settle down.
Gingerly, the dwarf walked toward the window.
Suddenly, the golden pupil appeared at the window again. “If the Great Gulth finds that you told a lie, I’ll come back and eat you all!”
“No! Absolutely not!” The dwarf wiped the cold sweat from his face.
…
At this moment, in the new shop at the East Continent.
A group of people stood behind Xiaoyao Ancestral Master and others, watching them play League of Legends.
The people in the back complained, “Ancestral Masters, you’ve played all night…”
Li Wuchen scolded, “Shut up!”
Everyone behind him fell silent in fear.
Xiaoyao Ancestral Master looked at the people around him and said, “How about we form a team? It will be the most powerful team in the universe!”
“But…” Shang Jiuwen said mildly, “It’s not easy to choose champions…”
…
At this moment, Mr. Fang suddenly received a prompt.
