Start in Terra, immortal

The members of the otherworldly exploration team have been finalized: Swift Scout Timo, Meglin Gunner Tristana, and Fairy Witch Lulu.

As for Kuchi, after hearing that there were no flying machines in the other world, the old pilot lost interest in it and simply left the expedition team.

"Rosso, when can we go to another world? After listening to you talk about it lately, I can't wait to start my otherworldly adventure!"

Tristana looked eager; she had always longed for adventure and was extremely interested in this trip to another world.

"Lulu too!" Lulu exclaimed excitedly.

"I'll be staying in Runeterra for a while longer. I'll call you when I leave." Rosso reassured the two little ones while inscribing a magic circle at the gate of Bandle City.

After consulting with Teemo, Rosso decided to leave a teleportation portal in Bandle City directly to the Spirit Realm, and to inscribe a reversed, improved summoning circle on the portal to facilitate communication between the two sides. With Rosso's consent, the Yordles could then travel directly to the Spirit Realm through the portal.

"Summoning magic is not such an inconvenient art!" After thoroughly studying summoning magic, Rosso suddenly realized that the core of summoning magic lies in communication.

The prerequisite for summoning is to sense the presence of the summoned. Once the presence can be sensed, communication can occur between the two parties. Therefore, Rosso improved the summoning circle.

This ability to communicate across realms was first discovered in Casillas, who was in the Demon Realm. However, there was a prerequisite: the Spirit Realm was required as an intermediary for such cross-realm communication to be possible.

It must be said that Casillas is indeed a good contract partner.

After teaching Teemo how to use the portal, Rosso left Bandle City through the gate passage.

Of course, Rosso chose the portal to Ionia. After all, having met the Yordles in Bandle City, Rosso also wanted to meet the Yordles who chose to reside permanently in Runeterra. Coincidentally, there was a Yordle in the Order of the Righteousness in Ionia.

The landing point was still a jungle, and with a quick sense, Rosso detected the unique soul characteristics of the Yordles. However, what puzzled Rosso was that the Eye of Twilight was still in the same spot.

"I remember I clearly released the suppression." Without further ado, Rosso still decided to go and take a look. Since he was going to find Kennen anyway, it might be better to bring Shen along.

"What are you still doing here? Have you started to doubt your Way of Balance?" Rosso questioned directly without any mercy.

"No, it's just that you only left recently, and I'm still investigating whether the balance here can be restored on its own." The light in Shen's eyes gradually faded, clearly indicating that he had just withdrawn from the spiritual realm.

"So, what was the result?"

Shen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"The balance here has indeed been slowly returning since you left."

Rosso was still thinking about seeing Kennen, and seeing that Shen was alright, he said, "Let's go to your Order of the Balance."

"You're going to the Order of Balance?" Shen was taken aback, but judging from his previous behavior, it was hard to say that he agreed with the Order of Balance's doctrines.

"When I left before, I went to Bandle City and found that the Yordle race is quite special. I heard that there is also a Yordle in the Order of the Balance in Ionia. He is also considered quite special among the other Yordles, so I want to go and meet him."

"You went to Master Kennen's hometown before? If you wanted to meet Master Kennen because you liked the place, then I guess you might be disappointed." Shen showed great respect when mentioning Kennen, the elder of the Order of the Balance.

"Master Kennen once said that a bizarre and unpredictable place like Bandle City was not suitable for a Yordle like him. He was clearly different from other Yordles."

Realizing Shen had misunderstood, Rosso didn't explain. Bandle City was never the key; the Yordles were. These darlings of the spiritual realm, their pure souls were the reason Rosso cared so much about them.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Order of Balance, Rosso released Shen's hand.

"Actually, I can teleport back myself..." Unlike teleportation through secret methods in the past, this method of teleportation that forcibly squeezes open space is often a difficult experience for first-time users to describe.

"Oh, that'll have to be quick. Let's go, let's go meet this legend."

Ignoring Shen's complaints, Rosso took the lead and headed towards the location he had sensed.

Along the way, disciples of the Order of Balance noticed this special visitor, but after seeing Shen following behind, they did nothing more than greet the two of them.

Arriving at a quiet and ordinary house, a short figure dressed in the distinctive attire of the Balance Sect was meditating cross-legged in the center of the room.

Anyone familiar with the characteristics of the Yordles would find it hard not to associate Kennen with the Yordles at first glance.

Short and hairy. This is the common image of Yordles in Runeterra today, with few exceptions.

"This distinguished guest seems to be here to see me?" Under Rosso's undisguised gaze, Kenan had no choice but to speak.

"I've only heard of Master Kennen's reputation as a Yordle, and I wanted to get to know you and see how you differ from the Yordles of Bandle City. And why you chose to stay in Ionia."

Unlike the Yordles of Bandle City, Kennen wasn't instantly seen through by Rosso. In this respect, Kennen is indeed different from the other Yordles.

"Bandle City is not suitable for a Yordle like me who loves harmony and tranquility."

Kennan stood up from the ground, as if recalling something.

"They're so noisy, it's hard to find a truly quiet place in Bandle City. Since leaving Bandle City, I've been searching for inner harmony."

Ultimately, I found harmony in this nascent land. So I chose to stay.

After saying that, Kennen looked at Rosso with curiosity in his eyes.

"I can sense that you don't really belong here. I've been to almost every part of this continent, and I've never seen anyone like you, existing independently in both the material and spiritual realms."

I think Shen must have learned his lesson from you.

Over thousands of years, the wars Kennan witnessed, the people he met, and the events that occurred on this continent made him realize that there are many unknown things beyond this world.

However, this was the first time I had been visited by an outsider.

Kennen couldn't figure out the visitor's intentions either. From his words, Kennen knew that he had already been to Bandle City. Although the Yordles in Bandle City had lowered their guard against him, he knew all too well what kind of people the Yordles who had lived in Bandle City for a long time were like.

Everything should be in balance. It is not a good sign if the balance tilts to one side, even if the tilted side represents love and kindness.
