Noxus Glory

Chapter 29 The Veil of World Rune Magic

The point in time he was at was

The Trifalli Council, also known as the Council of Three, existed before its establishment.

Brown Darkwill, the octogenarian Grand Commander, remains the sole ruler of the Noxian Empire!

"So it seems Swain hasn't launched a coup yet, then the Ionian War has begun?" Huo Jixing stroked the book, his thoughts drifting.

In my past life memories.

The Noxian Empire rose to prominence and then declined during the reign of Bron Darkwell.

In his quest for immortality, this supreme leader recklessly launched wars, resulting in chaos on multiple fronts of the empire and numerous internal conflicts.

The turning point of the Ionian Wars directly accelerated the decline of the Noxian Empire.

"Power and immortality—the eternal allure!"

Huo Jixing shook his head, gathering his thoughts. He already had some ideas about his power [Talent·Star Spirit·Vermilion Bird].

"The book states that runes and magic are special and not everyone can access or master them."

"Only the chosen ones can become extraordinary."

"But even the chosen ones, after acquiring rune and magical power, may be corrupted by the runes and magic, resulting in certain negative effects!"

Huo Jixing carefully recalled the information in the book and, combined with his previous conversation with the Legion advisor Wilson, he had a sudden realization.

He must cling to his extraordinary power, which is fire magic.

The cost of using it, or the negative consequences, is that it comes at the cost of flesh and blood.

"It's a very simple thing, isn't it?" Huo Jixing gently rubbed the bridge of his nose, opened his eyes, the crimson light disappeared, and he suppressed the worry in his heart.

This seemingly simple matter was an idea that came to him after he flipped through the books in front of him.

This reveals the importance of extraordinary knowledge!

Besides, Huo Jixing vaguely confirmed that the Noxian Empire seemed to genuinely not care about the source of the superhuman abilities, but rather focused on the efficient use of superhumans.

"Social inclusivity, and the yearning for extraordinary power!"

When Huo Jixing got up again, the sky outside the window was gradually brightening, and a ray of dawn light was illuminating the dark and gloomy sky.

Looking around the room, Gregory had left sometime earlier, leaving him alone.

"I've never seen myself work this hard in my past life!" Huo Jixing thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

Indeed, this was a transcendent world that he had never encountered in his previous life.

He was like a dry sponge that had fallen into a vast sea of ​​books, doing his best to absorb the moisture of knowledge.

After stretching, Huo Jixing sat back down in the wooden chair and continued to focus on his book.

This is also a benefit of being promoted to a superhuman; even without sleeping all night, one is still full of energy.

When he reread the book, he began to pay attention to the annotations left by predecessors and scholars. Although they were fragmented, they contained a lot of very useful information.

In the following days.

Adhering to the habits of a good student, Huo Jixing began to immerse himself in learning extraordinary knowledge with Gregory in the exquisite wooden cabin that he and Amoryn had built together.

Contrary to what I had imagined, extraordinary knowledge is not nearly as difficult to understand or obscure as I thought.

Huo Jixing seemed to have returned to the wonderful time before the college entrance examination in his previous life, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this extraordinary learning journey.

World Runes.

The extraordinary origins of the continent of Valoran have been mentioned many times in books.

According to numerous scholars' annotations and records, the World Rune used magic to create Runeterra, forming the current continental landmass and numerous islands.

It has also given rise to numerous rune systems and magical powers with different attributes.

Gregory's words mentioned, more or less, that there are quite a few rune-type extraordinary items in the current Noxian Empire.

Inside the study, the lamplight flickered.

Upon hearing the question, Gregory leaned back in his wooden chair, looking at Hojixing with a surprised expression, and whispered, "The nature of extraordinary power?"

After a moment's thought, he slowly spoke: "In my school of thought, the essence of the extraordinary is understood as the use of the world's power!"

"According to ancient records, the origin of the continent of Valoran was the World Rune, and the Runeterra was finally created by His Majesty Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger."

"However, that period of history is too ancient, and even the predecessor of the empire could not record it."

"In addition, the Rune Wars destroyed the essence of many civilizations, leaving only a few pieces of information in the river of time, which scholars have gradually unearthed and deciphered from ancient ruins."

After listening to Gregory's explanation, Huo Jixing pondered, recalling the various talent runes in the League of Legends game he had played in his previous life.

He vaguely suspected that those talent runes might be runes and magical powers derived from world runes.

"Then how should we categorize the extraordinary systems? Like skills?" Huo Jixing asked curiously.

"It's difficult to categorize," Gregory said, frowning as if carefully choosing his words.

"Runes and magic are as deep and vast as the ocean. We extraordinary beings are like those who sail on a boat. Even after a thousand years, our exploration of extraordinary power is still ongoing."

"Especially in the study of runes, the Empire, or many other forces on the continent of Valoran, have never stopped their efforts, but with little success."

Gregory looked at Hojixing with a wistful expression and continued, "After much painstaking research by many scholars, the Empire has made a rough classification of extraordinary powers, but this is not absolute."

"Remember, this is not an absolute division!" Gregory said solemnly, repeating.

"There are always some exceptionally talented people who cannot be judged by conventional standards."

Gregory seemed to recall something, his expression darkening. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "The Empire broadly categorizes extraordinary powers as: Extraordinary, Heroic, Legendary, Demigod, and..."

"Gods!"

Huo Jixing listened intently; this was his first time learning about the extraordinary system of the Valoran continent.

Compared to the skills Eric mentioned, runes and magic are the dominant forces on the continent of Valoran.

As Gregory narrates, the veil of runes and magic is slowly lifted.

"Extraordinary" refers to newcomers who have just embarked on the path of runes and magic, such as beast spirit apprentices, arcane apprentices, and so on.

The hero, representing the extraordinary, has spread throughout the continent, possessing remarkable strength and astonishing prestige.

There are many heroes on the continent of Valoran today, and they are famous far and wide.

These are the extraordinary individuals that Gregory describes, and also those within the Empire, who are the most difficult to categorize by strength.

Legendary figures are those extraordinary individuals who forge their own path and leave their unique mark on the course of history.

Gregory paused here, thought for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Demigods and gods are also inaccessible realms for extraordinary beings, and there are few records of them in my school."

"As for the first type of extraordinary individuals, I have heard that the Empire has been secretly researching them, trying to use ordinary people's bodies to resist the erosion of extraordinary powers, and to transcend the mortal body and possess extraordinary power by using runes and magical items."

After giving a brief explanation, Gregory moved on to the next topic.

"As I've always emphasized, this isn't an absolute division of strength, based on a wealth of historical records."

"There have been heroes who fought against legends, or legends who repelled demigods. Even more, some lingering information vaguely records that someone used an extraordinary body to slaughter gods."

"Therefore, the world we live in is so wonderful that even if we spend our whole lives, we can only get a glimpse of it."

Hojixing nodded in agreement to Gregory's remarks, feeling grateful in his heart.

He studied with Gregory only because Wilson introduced him to him.

As for how much or how little he teaches, that depends entirely on Gregory himself.

During this time, however, he could sense that Gregory was genuinely teaching him, and he would generally receive answers to the questions he raised.

He had asked Gregory about his school of thought.

Unfortunately, Gregory never gave a direct answer, only smiling and changing the subject.

This disappointed Huo Jixing somewhat, but he didn't care too much.

After all, the extraordinary path he had chosen was completely different from the extraordinary system of the Valoran continent.
