After the action plan was formulated, the team waited in Presidence for a while.

On the one hand, it is waiting for the supplies to arrive, and on the other hand, it is waiting for Yasuo's final backup.

Yes, Yasuo decisively called Ryze.

Since you have already planned to take action against Shadow Island, there is no need to begrudge this favor!

Three days later, when Lucian finally prepared all the application materials, the last member of the team - the bald blue guy, the rune guardian, the arcane mage Ryze, officially joined the team.

At the beginning, the rest of the team was still wondering who this guy with blue skin and tattoos all over his body was, but when Ryze used the winding path to jump, he easily sent everyone and the supplies to the city.

After Lei Xidian came out, this doubt was instantly wiped away.

At the same time... the level of contempt in Graves's eyes as he looked at his gay friend increased significantly - look at him, look at you!

Not as good as a little girl, not as good as a blue guy, why not be ashamed!

Of course, Drizzt glared back at Graves mercilessly - Haha, if you have the guts, just say it, what's the use of glaring at me?

In this way, while Drizzt and Graves glared at each other, the eight people finally left Presidence, set out from the port, took a boat, and began their journey to the Shadow Island.

……………………

After reconfirming the next action plan, everyone in the team temporarily relaxed - from here to Shadow Island, you have to stop in Bilgewater to replenish supplies, and the entire voyage will last nearly half a month.

.

During this long journey of wandering at sea, everyone needs to adjust their state and avoid as much as possible the negative problems caused by the bumpy journey.

After all... after arriving at Shadow Island, they didn't have time to make repairs.

Drizzt and Graves started the card game again, and after losing too much, Graves finally dragged Lucian and Senna into the game.

Riven and Syndra have been communicating silently - Yasuo instinctively felt that this should have something to do with him, but unfortunately he did not eavesdrop.

Because Ryze also has something to talk to Yasuo about.

"As for the Noxians, do you have any information channels for me about the Black Rose?" Without beating around the bush, Ryze directly put forward his request, "Although I have found some information that the guy who hid occasionally leaked.

There are clues, but it is easy to find them, but it is difficult to actually join them and find out the news.”

"Black rose?" Yasuo raised his eyebrows, "You moved really fast...it didn't take long before you discovered the clues about those guys."

"When any organization reaches the grassroots level, there will inevitably be mixed good and bad." Ruiz is accustomed to this. "Recently, this organization seems to be expanding. Although it still maintains a certain degree of mystery, as long as you pay attention, they are no different from the outside.

.”

"You are still awesome." Yasuo couldn't help but smacked his lips after hearing what Ryze said, "But unfortunately, I don't have any channels - I lurked in Noxus for several months before and finally found them.

In a small secret warehouse, there was a conflict, and in the end I only got a grimoire that I couldn't understand at all."

"Magic Book?" Ryze looked at Yasuo with some surprise, "This is an old thing - I remember that the Grimoire has gradually become less popular since about six hundred years ago?"

"It should be an old object." Yasuo nodded and handed the box containing the grimoire to Ryze. "This thing seems to have the ability to affect the mind. It has been waiting for me to open it."

Yasuo also took the time to read this Grimoire to Karma, but unfortunately Karma was not very able to explain the contents clearly - compared to Valoran and Shurima, Ionia is indeed relatively closed.

Even though Karma is as well-informed as he is, he actually doesn’t know much about the outside world.

Now taking advantage of this opportunity, Yasuo simply brought the grimoire and handed it to Ryze. Maybe he could discover something?

After taking the box, Ruiz carefully arranged a simple seal mark, and then carefully opened it - then, he just took one look and was shocked.

"This is... the secret book of runes!"

"Secret Book of Runes?" Although Yasuo didn't know what it was, but with the word "rune" on it, it was not a simple thing. "Do you know it?"

"Of course I know." Ruiz nodded and did not choose to open the Secret Book. "Actually, this is related to people's use of the world's runes before the Rune War... You can think of the Rune Secret Book as

Instructions for use of World Runes."

"Instructions?" Yasuo couldn't help but be stunned at Ryze's description, "The kind of operating instructions?"

"That's right." Ruiz nodded, "Sorry, I can't tell you the specifics, but it seems like you haven't opened this secret book."

"Of course." Yasuo nodded, "This thing doesn't look like a good thing at first glance. Who knows the consequences of opening it?"

"Your choice is right." Ryze sighed and put the Secret Book back into the box again. "There are special rune fragments sealed on the Rune Secret Book, which are probably the ones we saw between us.

One-tenth to one-hundredth of the energy of the fragment is used to activate the secret book and guide the owner to use this power."

"It sounds like it's not just a textbook, but also an exercise book?" Yasuo was really surprised, "Has your research on world runes reached this level?"

"It's far more profound than you know." Ryze sighed, "But unfortunately, the rune will of the world rune itself cannot be removed, and the world rune fragments have irreversible aggregation... The control rune looks very...

It’s beautiful, but in fact it’s just talk.”

Saying that, Ryze raised his head and looked at Yasuo.

"I cannot leave this secret book of runes in your hands."

"Okay, okay!" Yasuo waved his hand pretending to be free and easy, "I'll give you a fair price and I'll sell it to you!"

Fair price?

Ryze was stunned for a moment, and then finally couldn't hold it back anymore, a subtle smile appeared on his face.

What is a fair price?

This was obviously because Yasuo himself couldn't agree on the price, so he put the initiative in his own hands - he was also sure that he would not deliberately cheat him.

But the smile only faded away in the end.

Ryze tried his best to turn the corner of his mouth from rising to falling - he unfolded the newly prepared scroll, transformed the secret book into countless dense runes, sealed it in the scroll, and then left only a cold sentence.

words.
