Dragons and Angels

Bard only knew this much about the angel ranks, but he didn't know how to level up; these things, like increasing one's own power, mostly depended on oneself. 😾🐺 ൠ✌

However, he gave a suggestion: try things related to the Light Element, such as Light Rune, Solar Aspect, or Light Element dragons.

It's impossible to get the Light Rune now, and I don't know where Ryze is, so even if I did get it, I wouldn't use it.

The Solar Aspect is now Leona. She has just become Aspects and her powers have not yet been fully unleashed, let alone helping Kayle and Morgana.

As for the Light Element Dragon, it's worth a try. Garr is an old dragon and has maintained a certain relationship with the angels, so he might know something!

I haven't had a chance to thank him or apologize since I came back from the Angel City last time, so I'll go find him now!

Before I leave, there's one more thing I need to ask: Leona, Diana, and Zoe to help deal with the Vastaya. Runeterra is in complete chaos.

Leona and Diana immediately agreed, but Zoe wasn't there, so they had to relay my thoughts.

Of course, it would be even better if other Aspects were willing to help. Aspects were originally human, so they are relatively easy to persuade.

After saying goodbye to Bard, we headed directly north across the sea. After experiencing the seawater change from cold to hot and then back to cold, we dived down. Fortunately, we didn't see any other angels.

This time, I found the location with exceptional accuracy and quickly located the patch of colorful seaweed that Caroline had mentioned, but I didn't see Fizz.

I stopped when I found Garr's Crystal Palace because I remembered he said he didn't want anyone else to go in, and he also noticed our arrival and came out immediately.

"You little rascal! I took you to the Angel City, and you messed things up, and now you dare to come back!"

"Haha, that's why I've come to apologize to you, Senior Garr. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble."

"What's the point of apologizing to me? It's not like I'm the one looking for you."

"Um... may I ask if you have a close relationship with Archangel Meriel?"

"We've been friends for over a thousand years, but we wouldn't call it a deep friendship; as neighbors, we're more like neighbors."

"Then I'm relieved. We'll kill her."

"What? You're saying you killed whom?"

"Meriel, Archangel of the Angel City."

For an old dragon like Garr, there aren't many things that can surprise him anymore, and this is one of them.

"You killed Meriel? Just the three of you?"

"There was another mage to help, but it's a fact that Meriel is dead."

Garr stood silently for a while, knowing we wouldn't joke about something like this:

"You're something else, Yasuo. I knew you were a troublemaker the moment I met you, but I never expected you to get into such a big mess and still manage to resolve it all by yourself."

"Uh... actually, I'm not really a troublemaker, it's just that trouble likes to come after me."

"So what brings you here this time?"

"I'd like to ask you, how can I level up an angel?"

After hearing my words, Garr looked at the Angel sisters. He probably knew about Meriel's imprisonment of the two sisters, so he wasn't surprised at all that they were with me.

He didn't answer my question, but instead recounted how he met the angel:

Angels rarely venture into the outside world and do not interact with other races besides the Aspects, but there is one exception: Kayle's mother Michela.

Garr first encountered the angel in Shurima; the angel he met was Michela, who was searching for her child.

He was already considering a secluded life and was searching for a suitable place. Later, he was drawn to Michela's aura of light in Shurima, and that's how they met.

They initially just chatted briefly about the Light Element Strength, but because they got along well, they became friends, Michela even generously gave Garr a Rune Fragment.

Garr had no way to repay her kindness, so he agreed to help Michela find her child. However, many years passed without any clues, until he grew tired of the mortal world and retreated to the deep sea.

After living peacefully for a while, Garr felt a familiar presence above him—it was an angel!

He excitedly followed the scent and went to find them, only to find that he did not recognize them, especially Meriel, who claimed to be the archangel, and Michela, whom he knew, who had completely different personalities.

Michela was noble yet approachable, while Meriel was cold and indifferent, showing no regard for him, the dragon of light.

Garr wasn't angry, because he could sense that these angels were very superficial, lacking the rich emotions of humans; apart from being stronger, they were no different from children.

When he inquired about Michela from the angels, Meriel's reaction surprised him, revealing that Michela was not with the angels.

The two became neighbors in this lukewarm manner, until Michela arrived one day.

She used to be noble, powerful, beautiful... Garr wanted to use all the best words in the world to describe her, but this time when they met, she was very different.

She was very disappointed; the sadness in her eyes seemed to infect the entire ocean, yet there was also a hint of expectation in her gaze.

Upon questioning, Garr learned that the angels had abandoned Michela and were using her child to coerce her into going to the Angel City.

Although Garr was old, he was quite heroic. Upon hearing this, he immediately wanted to go to the Angel City with Michela and cause a ruckus, but she stopped him.

Michela did not hate Meriel, nor did she want the angels to suffer further calamity. At this moment, she only wanted to see her child one last time and fulfill her last wish.

As they parted, Michela gave Garr an item, asking him to give it to her children if they had a chance to escape the Angel City.

Since then, Garr has never seen Michela again. He tried everything to please the angel and find out where Michela's child was, but he had no clues until I appeared today.

"So you outwardly befriended the angels, but in reality you only wanted to help Michela's children?"

"Yes, it's a pity I went to the Angel City several times but couldn't find them. You, on the other hand, caused a huge uproar after just one trip, hahaha..."

"Okay, I was worried at first that you and Meriel were friends, but it seems I was overthinking it. By the way, what was the item Michela gave you?"

"This is the Crystal Palace. Follow me."

After Garr finished speaking, he reached out and touched the wall of the Crystal Palace. The beautiful building suddenly disappeared and turned into a dazzling heart-shaped pendant!

"This is the Heart of the Angel, passed down through generations of the angelic race. Only the archangels of each generation can possess it. Now it should be returned to its rightful owner!"
