Selecting an Assistant

This story recounts how the two became Harbinger. Miyue no longer needs to worry about becoming physically weak from helping others, and Syndra faithfully fulfills her duties for Miyue. 🍫🍫 🐍🎉

Although the two are in different places and rarely meet, they can communicate through their consciousness at any time. However, doing so consumes too much Spiritual Power, so they cannot chat frequently.

Logically, this should be a very happy ending, so why did Syndra turn to the dark side? She even personally injured Miyue, something Miyue couldn't understand either.

The will of the Harbinger is extremely powerful and unlikely to be invaded. The Vastaya can only come together with those who share the same nature, meaning that Syndra actively accepted Qilisi.

Perhaps to understand all this, we must confront the person behind it all. Evelynn, we must find a way to defeat her!

Syndra has disappeared for now, and Zed has also vanished without a trace. I heard there was also unrest at the Shilana Temple in the east; I wonder how things are now.

Miyue said she had received a message from Hecarim. At the time, it wasn't a big problem, and the people in the East could handle it. After that, they lost contact. After all, the farther apart they were, the more Spiritual Power they would consume when communicating with their minds.

The Harbinger typically only gather to communicate telepathically when something significant happens, such as the Noxus invasion in the past and Syndra's corruption now.

As for when the Wind God, the Wood God, and the God of Death will come to me, Mi Ye has no idea. She didn't receive any divine pronouncements for a long time after becoming a Celestial, and in the more than twenty years since then, she has only received them a handful of times.

She knew even less about the true nature of the Soul of Ionia; aside from the moment she was on the verge of death, she had never seen it a second time.

It seems there are still many things I need to determine myself. The Soul of Ionia... then are there also the Soul of Valoran and the Soul of Shurima?

After learning to manipulate Spiritual Power from Miyue, I began to ponder the compatibility between Wind Force and Spiritual Power, to see if we could fuse them into a new attack method.

From any perspective, I cannot be a Harbinger merely conveys divine pronouncements and enlightens the masses; I need formidable fighting power!

After Syndra killed several Shepherd, Miyue returned to Zhiyun and found a new successor, but besides Irelia, two other Shepherd were still missing from the North Spring Temple.

Because of Syndra's condition, this matter has been put on hold. Now that I have become the new Harbinger, I am calling on people everywhere to search for children who can evoke instinctive fear in animals.

A few days later, an old man brought a little girl to the temple. The old man said that the little girl might be the Shepherd, because she had recently scared away a raging wild boar.

In the past, people would catch animals and then test them, but that wasn't accurate. So the old woman wanted me to confirm it, so I took her to the nearby jungle for the trial.

The little girl was very robust, with a long black braid, dark yellow skin, some freckles on her face, and a very cheerful personality.

I chatted with her for a bit on the way and learned that her name was Yun Sang, and she was the old man's granddaughter. Her parents died in the first Noxus invasion when she was just born and was raised on goat's milk.

Although choosing Shepherd is an important matter, I didn't want to force her. "Do you want to be Shepherd Yun Sang?"

"I was originally Shepherd, always helping my grandfather take care of the sheep, just not as an adult in the temple. Now, becoming a true Shepherd will allow me to protect everyone, and I'm willing!"

To have such awareness at such a young age makes me feel a little ashamed. "Okay, as long as you're willing!"

After arriving in the jungle, I hid and left her to face all sorts of unexpected situations on her own. Yun Sang was very brave; she wasn't afraid of any animals she saw. She even chased away a wolf cub without testing it!

Of course, I kept a close eye on things to prevent any accidents from happening, but even so, I was still on tenterhooks, fearing that if I didn't intervene in time, it could lead to a tragedy.

After several tests, especially after she single-handedly scared away a magnificent Fierce Tiger, I became certain that she truly possessed the ability to instill fear in animals—she was Shepherd!

The old man was very pleased and knelt down to pay his respects to his granddaughter; the people of Ionia held their priests in the highest esteem.

Shepherd don't need to stay by the side of the Harbinger; they only gather together when they receive a divine decree or under certain special circumstances. However, Yun Sang had just become Shepherd and needed to receive instruction from the Harbinger, so he stayed behind.

Actually, I'm not much better than her, and I also need guidance from others. This important task naturally fell to Miyue. She's like an elementary school Teacher now, teaching one big child and four little children. Of course, there will be another one soon.

Miyue was very patient, caring for the children meticulously, and also showing me great concern. Occasionally, she would talk to me, mainly about Syndra.

Perhaps she helped me out of altruism, or perhaps it was because I inherited Syndra's divinity, but in any case, I am very grateful to her.

In the following days, several more young men and women came to undergo the trial, but none of them were Shepherd, and they would have all perished if I hadn't intervened.

That day, I was chatting with Miyue when someone came to report that a man and a girl were outside requesting an audience. I thought they were there to undergo the Shepherd's Trial again, but it turned out to be Shen and Akali.

Shen always dresses as Ninja, but this time he was dressed casually, so people outside didn't recognize him. In fact, I've never seen him like this before. However, I know Akali, and if you look closely at Shen's eyes and eyebrows, it's not hard to tell them apart.

Long time no see, Yasuo!

"Master Shen, it's been a long time!"

"Oh no, you are now Lord Harbinger, please..."

"No need for formalities. I'm an old friend of Host Kennen, and we've had quite a bit of interaction."

"Oh, really? I haven't heard you mention that, senior brother."

At this point, I suddenly realized I'd been too talkative. Aside from Zhao Xin's experience, I've only met Kennen a few times, and the same goes for Shen; we can't really be considered friends.

"Haha, we met once, and we hit it off immediately! By the way, I recently visited the Kinkou Order and heard that you're searching for Zed's whereabouts. Is that why you're here?"

"Indeed, after several days of investigation, I discovered traces of the robbery, but that's not what I'm discussing today."

"That is?"

"I've come to ask the Harbinger One to confirm whether my apprentice is indeed the Shepherd!"

I was taken aback by Shen's words, then looked around and saw that Akali was the only person beside him. Could Akali be the apprentice he was talking about?

Miyue me lost in thought, Miya nudged me and asked telepathically, "What's wrong? What are you spacing out for? The Master of the Kinkou Order wants you to identify the Shepherd!"

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just a little surprised to see someone I know."
