According to Ryze, his process of collecting world runes was not smooth sailing, and could even be described as full of difficulties.
More than a decade after the Rune Wars ended, he traveled through the ruins of various countries in Noxian that once possessed rune fragments.
He even dealt with the Noxian barbarians who had settled in the Immortal Bastion and established a nation, later known as the Noxians, just to find the rune fragments and seal them away properly.
This was his biggest gain, a total of several rune fragments that were abused by those destroyed countries, and he even found a blue witchcraft cornerstone rune.
However, in the following decades, his search for world runes encountered bottlenecks and obstacles.
If he had not been in contact with the world runes for many years, and pure magic had greatly extended his lifespan, his collection of runes might have stopped here.
Since Ryze's master Tyrus did not leave behind any instructions for using the scroll, he initially thought that the scroll only had the effect of sealing the rune fragments and preventing their aura and energy from leaking out, just like his master had done.
It was not until later when he went to the dangerous Shadow Isle to look for records of the World Runes that he discovered that the scroll he never left behind actually had a positioning function.
As time passed, he traveled around the world based on rumors, studying the scroll while searching for the World Runes.
It took him two or three hundred years to roughly understand how to use the scroll.
But even so, it didn't bring much convenience to Ryze.
Because the scroll's positioning was too vague and random, only one could be located at a time and it could not be changed. He could only search over and over again within a rough range.
Sometimes, he has to face the runes that protect the world, or be attracted by the aura of a very dangerous magical species whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Over the years, he has only collected a relatively complete collection of runes from the yellow precision and green determination series.
They are 4 Precision Keystone Runes and 3 Domination Keystone Runes that can be combined together, as well as some other scattered fragments with special abilities.
As for the Witchcraft Department, he only found two cornerstone runes and several fragments. One of the fragments was touched by his apprentice Kegan Nohe, who devoured the poor guy's soul and transformed him into the vengeful flame soul Brand who longed for the power of the world rune.
As for the Red Domination system, he only found some fragments and didn't even see the cornerstone runes.
Not to mention the blue enlightenment, he didn't even find a fragment.
As for why there is a magic-forbidden stone pillar in the underground space of Demacia that seems to be used specifically for storing dangerous magical items, this is related to a former king of Demacia.
Ryze didn't remember his name because his story was not recorded in any books, but only painted on the collapsed stone wall outside this underground space.
This king also discovered the fragments of the World Rune, but as a descendant of refugees from the Rune War, he also understood the dangers of runes.
He did not use the power of runes to resist the Noxians who were ready to attack the fertile land in the west. Instead, he chose to build an underground palace in the central area of the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest and sent people to build Forbidden Magic Stone Pillars just to seal the rune fragments.
In order to prevent others from knowing the existence of this world rune and the underground palace that sealed the rune, he deliberately erased the relevant historical records, allowing this period of history to be submerged in the long river of history.
If Li Lin's prediction goes as planned, Ryze will find more world runes in Ionia and Freljord in the next few years.
Ionia should be related to the Sorcery runes, and Freljord may be able to find fragments of Precision and the cornerstone of Domination.
And when he goes to Freljord again, he will face for the first time a Void Eye created by the Void Watchers, which is Vel'Koz's race.
By the time Ryze told everything, it was already early morning.
Li Lin stood up directly, summoned a mechanical engineer, asked him to clean up the garbage here, and then pulled Ryze up.
"Tomorrow morning I'll have Zuo Yin take you to Ionia. If you want to come back, you can fly through Ionia's Hexgate to White Cliff City, south of the Silver Mountains. This will greatly reduce your travel time."
"Not tonight?" he asked, frowning.
"I've already helped you cut down nearly half a year's time, and you still care about these few hours?"
Li Lin smiled and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to show his friendliness, but seeing that he still didn't seem to be used to communicating with others, he gave up the idea.
"Tonight, we're going to the Forbidden Magic Pillar. I want to record some things related to the World Runes."
"To be honest, I don't want you to record them."
Although Ryze and Li Lin have almost "reconciled", he also understands that he really has no idea about the World Rune.
But it's always a bit sensitive to mention related topics, especially to record them.
"Don't worry, this is science, not magic. I am the only one who uses and views this kind of database."
Li Lin called Zuo Yin, who was slurpingly holding the last bottle of soda, over and asked her to open the portal to the underground palace in the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest.
He turned to meet Ryze's hesitant expression. "Also, I can see the runes' effects... though only roughly."
"What?!" Ryze exclaimed, "You still have this ability?"
You know, over the years, apart from the world runes that have been used by others and whose abilities he knows, he naturally doesn't know the effects of some runes he found in the wilderness or on some altars that he dared not use.
But this doesn't mean that Ryze is not interested in this.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Only by understanding the world runes, collecting and sealing them can you be more proficient.
This is what Ryze has been doing for hundreds of years.
"Come and see for yourself."
The three of them quickly crossed the portal and returned to the hall emitting white light in the center of the dim underground.
However, this time, Li Lin, Zuo Yin and Ryze did not confront each other again.
"Hmph~~ In the end, you still have to let us check the world runes."
Zuo Yin didn't have a very good impression of Ryze. Who made him attack them just because of a disagreement?
Of course, Ryze would not get angry with this Twilight Spirit with a childish temper, and chose to ignore her.
Facts show that this method is quite effective when dealing with children.
Seeing that Ryze ignored him, Zuo Yin stuck out his tongue at him and said nothing more.
"You want to check out those runes first?"
Ryze casts his magic, causing the world runes to resonate.
Li Lin looked around, his eyes fixed on the red runes floating in the magic-forbidden stone pillar. "Let's start with the simple ones."
