lol: Bind Syndra at the start

But the result still disappointed him.

Vandel is his most mature "finished product" at this stage, but this level of completion is unacceptable to Singed. He would rather his daughter's body lose its warmth than let his kind daughter become a murderer.

He believed Orianna thought so too...

Fortunately, a miracle happened.

Singed struggled to move his gaze away from Orianna, as the surrounding instruments continued to draw fluctuating lines.

Each line reflects a different indicator of Orianna, and he doesn't have the energy to analyze the specific changes of each line now.

But for a 'dead person', it was a miracle that these lines could move.

"She still needs to recuperate for a while, just like a patient recovering from a serious illness. It will take time for her to get back on track."

Vladimir didn't use blood magic to create a completely new body for Orianna to use as a 'vessel'. After all, she was just a little girl...all she needed from a body was to be able to speak and breathe.

Although a body condensed entirely by blood magic possesses powerful qualities, the price is an even more powerful curse.

That level of soul corrosion is not something a young girl who has not experienced much of the world can resist.

This level of reconstruction is the best balance Vladimir expected. He would keep the general 'framework', use magic to fill and reshape the flesh and blood that had lost its vitality, and then erase them directly by Lion before the power of the curse could penetrate deeply into Orianna's soul.

"Thank you..." Singed looked at Vladimir and Lion standing further behind him. He felt very lucky because he knew how to repay his benefactor.

"I will start researching and improving the Glimmer Potion as soon as possible. I should be able to make initial progress in one year... no, nine months at the latest!"

A good scientist has an accurate estimate of his or her abilities, and nine months is a relatively conservative time.

After all, this improvement is not starting from scratch. He has accumulated a large amount of experimental data and sample size over the years. Now he is just screening out another direction from the collected information.

"Hopefully, by the time Orianna wakes up, Zaun will be a place where she can move around freely."

Ryan didn't care whether it was a year or nine months.

Transforming Zaun is destined to be a long process, and physical health is only the first step.

Civilizing their spirit is the key to truly erasing the gap between Zaun and Piltover, and this will inevitably take a generation or even two to accomplish.

"I'll go check out the other side."

Lion gave space to Singed and Vladimir.

The latter needs to explain to Singed the basic properties of blood magic and the things to pay attention to in Orianna's future life.

And he needs to deal with the follow-up issues on the other side.

...

Two figures, one big and one small, stood in front of the rusty iron gate.

Both sides lost and recovered their lost children, but this side had an additional step of father and daughter recognizing each other compared to Singed and Orianna.

Fandel, who had regained some sanity, had his long-lost memories awakened by Jinx, but without the deliberate provocation of Singed, the culprit, this sanity remained.

Sevika saw Ryan approaching. The apparent leader of Zaun was obviously more relaxed than before.

"How's it going?" Ryan asked.

"He is indeed Fandel... but he can barely even recognize his own daughter right now. In this state, even if he wanted to intervene in Zaun, it would be difficult for him to do so.

"Our plans haven't been affected in any way. I suspect that by the time Vandel has fully regained his former self, Zaun will have become something completely unfamiliar to him."

Sevika thought Ryan was asking about the situation.

But Ryan did not correct the other party. After all, he was willing to help this Zaun warrior because he was impressed by Sevika's personality of putting Zaun first in everything.

"That's good."

After encouraging Sevika a few more words, Ryan walked over to Isa.

The little girl was holding the seeds, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

As a child born in Zaun, she knew clearly that any gift from the world came with a price tag.

Perhaps Ryan gave the tree rapist to her just for tonight.

And now that tonight is over...

"I'll think about it."

Isa's face was obscured by Ryan's shadow, but there seemed to be sobs hidden between her words.

"Why do you want it?"

Ryan didn't take the tree stab, but asked calmly.

"Because it's my first...friend from outside the area, and it's the most powerful tree I've ever seen!" Isa said seriously, "It protected me and saved Jinx's father.

"I will become a man as steadfast and reliable as the tree in the future, and I will protect this city-state just like it did tonight!"

The little girl made a promise in a firm tone.

In another League of Legends universe, Issa ultimately died in Zaun trying to save Jinx.

Ryan didn't know what Isa's wish was in that universe, but in his own universe, he didn't want the story about Isa to end in tragedy.

Many of the "heroes" in this world are worthy of admiration, but there are also many local indigenous people who are not "heroes" who are more worthy of appreciation and discovery.

Just like the lyrics say, who says only those standing in the light are heroes?

Whether a person is great does not depend on his/her absolute strength, but on his/her/its spirit and will!

"Then you can definitely realize this dream with it."

Ryan said slowly.

A gloomy magic emanated from his fingertips, which were carefully placed between the girl's eyebrows.

"During the battle, it didn't have the energy to respond to you. Now... it has something to say to you."

The darkness built a temporary frame between Shujian and Isa.

The seed lying in the girl's palm slowly sprouted a new bud, which gently caressed the girl's hand.

At the same time... a strange voice sounded in the girl's heart.

"I promise you."

Chapter 363 Powerful Members

Reunion is destined to be short, and separation is the main theme of the world.

Ryan stayed in Zaun for a while, mainly to make sure that there would be no further trouble in this matter.

After a brief moment of clarity, Fandel had a difficult chat with Jinx for a while, and finally fell into a coma.

Vladimir said that this was a normal phenomenon, and that the fragmented memories would slowly be pieced together during his coma, and the whole process was like a broken bone slowly healing.

However, during this recovery process, you need to try to avoid stimulation or other situations that may cause extreme mood swings.

After all, there is an inseparable connection between emotions, memories and the soul, and touching one of them will affect the other two.

There are many beings in this world who are stronger than him, but when it comes to understanding the human soul, perhaps few can be deeper than Vladimir.

The saying "long illness makes a good doctor" is fully reflected in him. His hundreds of years of research on his own soul have made him an absolute authority on the human soul.

Keeping quiet is good for Vandel and good for all of Zaun.

Not every place is as accepting of the fact that "your emperor is back" as Shurima. After all, not every emperor has the power of Azir to crush others.

As for Singed... this scientist gave up his desire for science after his daughter came back to life. He told Sevika that he needed three days to accompany Orianna properly.

Although Orianna would still be in a coma during this period, looking at the complicated lines drawn on the instruments was a kind of happiness that Singed had never dared to hope for.

As for the tree thief... As Ryan's second friend in this world, he did not think that the tree thief was his dependence or the kind of existence similar to the "baby" in the game.

From the moment it developed its own will, it has been a complete and independent individual.

Ryan respected Shujian's choice. After all, as his strength continued to increase, it could only serve as a decoration and a trash handler most of the time.

This situation where the wind is always in your favor and the opponent is always weak is not conducive to the development of Shujian at all.

Only by staying in Zaun, in this relatively safe and sufficiently complex area, may it truly grow into a towering tree.

Accompanied by the gradually familiar shrieking sound, Vladimir's gaze moved away from the gradually "sinking" city-state and turned to look at the approaching Piltover.

"Did you really give that seed to that girl?"

After seeing Shu Jian's abilities, saying that he wasn't greedy would be a lie to himself.

But Vladimir didn't expect Ryan to act so quickly. Before he proposed to borrow it for research, he gave the experimental subject to someone else.

"That was its own idea."

"Its own? Does that mean it has already given birth to a soul?" Vladimir became more interested in the tree thief.

He knew that everything in Ionia had a spirit, but that 'spirit' was different from a soul.

Not all plant spirits can give birth to complete souls and "tree grids" like the tree spirit.

"Yes." Ryan saw Vladimir's thoughts. "If you're curious, you can go ask it yourself. I don't think it would mind giving you some leaves or branches, but only if you can give it something to eat."

"What does it eat?" Vladimir asked eagerly.

"At first, it absorbed water and sunlight like ordinary plants, but now it prefers blood."

This is why Ryan felt that Shujian would not reject Vladimir.

Furthermore... he himself was also very curious about the process of the birth of souls in the tree thieves. If this model could be replicated, then Ionia would also be able to use its own "Ascended Legion".

"What are you going to do later?" Vladimir suddenly asked.

"Let's go to Piltover to finish up some things and chat with our new allies about other matters."

"Then I won't bother you anymore..."

Vladimir didn't even listen to Ryan finish his words before he transformed into countless blood-red bats and flew out of the "Scream".

Compared to the childish political struggles, he cares more about new discoveries in the soul.

But for Ryan, the "brass-level" political dramas in Piltover and Zaun just happened to match his own "segment".

Looking at Piltover getting closer and closer.

Ryan, who was alone, finally couldn't help but recite that childish line.

"The Emperor of the Brass Section is back!"

......

......

"Emberesa has returned to the Noxian office."

The staff who had looked at Jace with strange eyes earlier seemed to have changed their expressions now.

He looked at the powerful congressman who was about to reach the top with great attention, and he wished that he could grow a tail to wag behind him.

The events of Piltover Square have come to an end.

Anbesa's ambitions have not been fully exposed yet, but almost all the people of Piltover are wary of this uninvited Noxian.

Noxus's reputation plays a significant role here. To make people believe that they are helping Piltover, it takes a lot of effort to make up a lie; but to make people believe that they are coming to invade, you only need to say this sentence in full and countless people will believe it.

As for Caitlin and the Kiraman family behind her...

What is the most hated thing? It's not your enemies, because no one expects your enemies to have good intentions. Their tricks and schemes are to be expected.

The objects of people's greatest hatred are often traitors, especially the nobles who become traitors.

The people of Piltover tolerate all kinds of special treatment for them because their ancestors have made great contributions to the survival of the city-state.

But they could not tolerate this group of nobles enjoying generous treatment while colluding with foreign enemies to damage the interests of the entire city-state!

Even if this behavior is covered with a lie of revenge, it will only make the storm more fierce when the truth comes out.

The last echoes in the square were the indignant shouts of the people, who demanded that the parliamentarians severely punish the Chiraman family and make them pay for their betrayal.

For the masses, this is their only demand.

But for the lawmakers, this punishment...is an offensive thing.

The Kiraman family is a wealthy and powerful family. They have been rooted in Piltover for hundreds of years. If they really take action, who knows if they will end up being dragged down with them?

In this situation where everyone is hiding their heads, this great achievement naturally falls on the most popular Councillor Tallis.

The other council members were happy to throw away this hot potato, and the public was willing to believe Jace.
