Seven Kings Gather
Tryndamere just mentioned Lili, could it be Ashe whom she helped?
After asking around, I learned that this was indeed the case. And just a short while ago, I thought she was still searching for the gods, but I didn't expect her to have already returned. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ
Tryndamere said that Lili went to the Avarosa tribe with a man. Based on his description, I guessed that this man was the one who taught Lili to use Sealing Magic, but I couldn't guess his identity.
When the two arrived at the Avarosa tribe, it was during a blizzard. At the time, Ashe was directing the tribesmen in defense with Tryndamere when she saw Lili and the man walking through the blizzard unaffected.
Lili said she wanted to give Ashe a gift. She condensed a drop of blue blood from her fingertip and dripped it onto Ashe's forehead, causing a sharp pain, but Ash recovered quickly.
At that moment, Ashe felt a surge of power within her. She waved her arms around and discovered that she could control a blizzard!
Seeing this, Lili smiled with satisfaction and left, and the blizzard disappeared as well.
Needless to say, this blizzard was definitely summoned by Lili, just like when she helped me comprehend the Gale Force...
I originally thought Ashe would arrive last, but she came first. Camille has already sent people to look for Jarvan and the others. She has spies everywhere in Piltover, and Jarvan, Shvana, and Sivir are very easy to identify.
Soon, four people arrived as invited, not three, because Gangplank was with them. Interestingly, they didn't realize who the others were until I went out to greet them.
"So this interesting old man is the famous pirate Gangplank!"
"I should be surprised! I've spent half a day with you and haven't even asked your names. You're Ascended and the King of Demacia!"
It suddenly became lively. Judging from Camille's furrowed brows, her house had never been this lively before, but I don't think she disliked it.
A few more teacups were added to the table, and I introduced everyone again, followed by a long exchange of pleasantries.
Gangplank finally met his idol, and should have been very happy, but the atmosphere between the two seemed a little awkward.
"It's finally time to meet you, Gangplank." Darius, on the other hand, looked quite expectant.
"Hehe, that's all in the past. Please don't dwell on it. My admiration for you is truly from the bottom of my heart."
We didn't know what was going on, but Sivir asked first, "Did something unpleasant happen between you two?"
"When Noxus first established its navy, its largest warship was hijacked during its sea trials."
Darius didn't say it explicitly, but we all know that the person who hijacked the warship was definitely Gangplank; that guy really dares to mess with anyone.
At this point, it's only natural that they could meet again and let bygones be bygones.
Sivir and Ashe were about the same age and got along very well. Sivir was both envious and jealous of Ashe's beauty.
This not-so-large room is now filled with several powerful and influential figures, including the King of Demacia, the Great General of Noxus, the Pirate King of Bilgewater, the Queen of Freljord, a descendant of the Ancient Shurima Royal Descendant, and the mastermind behind Piltover.
This reminds me of the prophecy of the Sage Tabor: the gathering of the Seven Kings, the fulfillment of everyone's expectations.
We now have exactly seven dream owners, and they are all rulers of their own territories, deserving the title of "king." My status is completely incomparable to theirs.
Of these major regions, Ionia is the only one without a ruler. Strictly speaking, Ionia does not have a ruler, only the revered Harbinger and the recognized leader during the war Irelia.
I asked Irelia, and she said she had never had a similar dream. Could it be that I am the "King" representing Ionia?
After I revealed the prophecy, they all thought I should travel to Ionia; perhaps I would discover something.
I have the most comprehensive understanding of the situation in various places, so I'll go over everything with you first.
First, there's the timing and frequency of the dream. The rest of us only dreamed about it once, but Darius dreamed about it many times and had been exposed to it for several years, making him a true pioneer.
Regarding the content of the dreams, everyone had the same dream, all dreaming of the disaster that once occurred in Icathia. Based on my and Sivir's personal experience, we can confirm that it was caused by the Void War.
As for the scene of thousands of miles of frozen land, only I have a clue: it's the powerful magic that Lissandra used to seal the Howling Abyss.
However, I have neither seen it nor received confirmation from Lissandra; it is merely a guess.
There's no need to worry about the Void Rift in Icathia for now, but we need to be more careful with the Howling Abyss. If a disaster occurs and neither Lissandra nor Laos River can withstand it, then Freljord will be the first to suffer.
Ashe said she would study the defenses more thoroughly after returning home, and requested assistance from various regions at any time.
Darius stated that he would build more portals to facilitate travel and communication between different regions. Now that everyone has united, there is no need to worry about the portals being destroyed.
As for those terrifying, Evil Eyes, opinions differ.
Ashe and Gangplank thought it was some kind of ancient creature, Jarvan and Darius thought it was a human eye, Camille believed that the eye itself was the essence.
Sivir's idea bothered me; she thought those were the eyes of Ascended, but fallen Ascended like Azanus.
Speaking of Azanus, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce a new concept to everyone: the Vastaya.
Now that Xerath, Azir, and Nasus have all appeared, the Vastaya are very likely to wreak havoc on Runeterra once again, transforming from Celestial Warrior into killing machines, and becoming enemies of all humanity.
My opinion on the eyes is also a bit different; I feel those eyes have a lot to do with Evelynn. Then, I'll share some things I know about her:
He visited Piltover several times, inciting Jinx to cause trouble;
He instigated conflict between Gangplank's Channel Clearers, triggering a civil war within Bill's ranks;
It has close ties with the Shadow Isles;
He once guided the Icathia to open the Void Rift, causing a massive catastrophe;
Besides these certainties, it's highly likely that she orchestrated Jhin and Sylas's rebellion behind the scenes.
I wonder if she was the one who injured Lili back then. If she was, then her strength is terrifying!
Besides the Void, Vastaya, and Evelynn, the undead on the Shadow Isles are also a point that urgently needs attention.
The undead army has begun attacking humanity, and its scale and power are growing ever larger. Thresh is already so difficult to deal with; if heroes like Hecarim, Karthus, and Mordekaiser were to appear, it would be even more troublesome.
This winter has passed, and the next winter will be exceptionally long.
