Monster Hunter from League of Legends

"I do know some methods, and I'm willing to help you, but none of the methods I know of can be accomplished in the short term."

Faan didn't start a heated argument with Volibear or threaten him like Lissandra did - the main reason was that there was no need to create a grudge if the problem could be solved properly.

Although the three sisters of the Freljord see Volibear as a violent and evil deity who lashes the frozen land with endless rage and thunderstorms, in reality, Volibear is quite easy to talk to.

In the League of Legends spin-off game Nunu's Song, Volibear was woken up by Nunu and was in a bad mood, but his first reaction after waking up was not anger, but laughter.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Nunu has the breath of Anivia on him, which makes Volibear realize the identity and mission of Nunu and Plumwe, helps Nunu open the way, and bluntly says "If you can't do it, I will kill you myself."

Nunu's Song is quite ordinary in terms of its gameplay, and even in many aspects it doesn't match the original Runeterra. However, just like the relationship between League of Legends and League of Legends, it is based on the same world view and can be used as a reference.

Comparing it with the real history that Fane obtained through the Frostguard Vault, some elements of Song of Nunu also coincide with this world, connecting the past and the future and being closely related.

"Although many people say that you are an enemy of humanity, that is not actually the case. From what I understand, you are only an enemy of civilization. Because you are born wild, you cannot go against the most fundamental desires of this land."

After hearing what Faan said, Volibear snorted coldly after a brief silence.

He looked quite cruel, but because of the poison of faith, there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body. The cold snort splashed a lot of reddish-brown mucus, which looked weird and inexplicably disgusting.

"But the constant expulsion of civilization for the sake of endless wildness is only a temporary solution."

After glancing at Volibear, Faan turned back to look at the people present. After confirming that Garen, Lux, and the others were not present, he coughed lightly and said:

"In Runeterra, there is a region where the spiritual realm is very active. That is my adopted home, Ionia."

When he heard about Ionia, Udyr's eyes showed a hint of surprise and curiosity.

His best friend Lee Sin is also from Ionia. It seems that Faan also knows a lot about Ionia?

Hearing the word "second hometown" again, Ashe rubbed her brows helplessly - isn't Demacia your second hometown?

After hearing what Faan said, Volibear narrowed his eyes and said, "So?"

"Balance. We need to find balance."

"The spiritual realm of Ionia is very active," Faan said. "The fundamental reason for this is that the veil between the material and spiritual realms has been greatly weakened due to some ancient reason. This allows spirits from the spiritual realm to enter the material realm directly. Similarly, changes in the material realm have a greater impact on the spiritual realm."

"Thus, the Path of the Balance and the Temple of Eternity emerged in Ionia, dealing with evil spirits in the spiritual realm and thoughts in the material realm, respectively."

Chapter 162 Li Qing.

Although many difficult things happened in Ionia after the Noxian invasion, and people had to make changes due to fluctuations in the spiritual realm, Ionia is the most authoritative region in the entire Runeterra in terms of dealing with abnormalities in the spiritual and material realms.

Don't worry about what happened abnormally.

Looking at Volibear before him, and even at Lissandra and the others beside him, Faan said, "This land possesses a consciousness of its own, though only a select few, even in Ionia, can sense it. And in the Freljord, I only know of one person who has come into contact with the Freljord Spirit."

"who is it."

Volibear asked.

"Your brother, Ornn."

Faun shrugged.

"Humph!"

Volibear snorted coldly and said nothing. It looked like his dislike for Ornn was even greater than his dislike for Lissandra.

It doesn't matter.

After all, Lissandra had clearly stated to her sisters from the outset that she was Volibear's enemy, and that any awful actions by an enemy were only natural. Ornn, on the other hand, was Volibear's older brother, and as a younger brother, he sought help from his older brother, but he refused and even expressed his dislike for the Ursine. Volibear saw this as betrayal.

It's normal for a child to be a little naughty.

As for the spirits of the land, they are indeed quite special.

First of all, there are actually quite a few people who can clearly sense spirits, but there are very few people who can sense the spirits of an entire area.

Even in Ionia, only a few could clearly sense the Ionian spirit. For example, Karma, leader of the Ionian Eternal Temple, who inherited the mission of protecting the First Land through memory transmission, and... Udyr.

Of course, this isn't the current Udyr, but the future Udyr from the original storyline.

In the story, Udyr and Lee Sin, after traveling together in the Freljord, invited Udyr to Ionia. Udyr, unsure of what to do in the Freljord at the time, decided to go along. The timeline is set at least five or six years in the future during the Ionian War, when Noxus invaded Ionia. During this time, Udyr felt the call of the Ionian spirit and, alongside Lee Sin, fought the invading Noxians.

Later, Udyr and Li Qing practiced together in the monastery of Ionia. During the process, Udyr was exposed to Ionia's advanced knowledge - about the spiritual realm. And realized the real problems facing Ionia.

However, for now, these questions are still far in the future. Having never personally visited Ionia, most of the information about Udyr is just hearsay. So, Fane simply asked, "Is Master Lee Sin here?"

"exist."

Udyr nodded and said, "He's at the nearby ski resort. What? Do you need me to call him over?"

"Ah."

Faan nodded and said, "After all, I'm not from Ionia. I'd better let Master Li Qing talk about some things."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Udyr glanced at the crowd before turning back and falling into a brief silence. A moment later, a ring of azure appeared on his body, and a mane of magical energy sprouted between his brows. A large tail also appeared behind him. This seemingly clumsy and heavy man burst into astonishing agility, gliding across the endless expanse of white toward the nearby mountain peaks where Li Sin was meditating.

Fox Form - One of the countless beast spirits of the Freljord. While not possessing the same mastery of combat as the Volibear, it is agile and swift.

While Udyr only has a few spirit forms in League of Legends, he actually masters nearly all of them—primarily because all spirits are willing to respond to him. However, when it comes time to fight, Udyr chooses the most powerful ones.

For example, ram, bear, ice wind, wild tiger, wild boar, turtle, etc...

While the bear's true form is present, this doesn't affect Udyr's use. This is because the true source of the bear's spirit lies in the spiritual realm, not the physical realm. While the two are related and can influence each other, they generally don't reach the point of forcibly depriving it of its power.

Without wasting too much time, Udyr soon ran back with Li Qing in a hurry.

The current Lee Sin is completely different from the future one - to put it simply, he is not yet the Lee Sin, and his overall temperament is still a bit impetuous, without the profound and majestic character of the future.

Seeing Li Qing, Fan also greeted with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Dragon Warrior~"

On the way here, he had learned about Faan's existence through Udyr's words, but when he heard the name "Dragon Warrior", Li Qing's eyes still revealed a deep sense of shame and self-blame.

"Nice to meet you, Li Qing. But forget about the Dragon Warrior or anything like that."

Li Qing's voice was full of self-blame.

The main reason is that Li Qing's life is full of the oriental flavor of a prodigal son returning home.

Ionians revere the spirits of all creatures, and among them, the story of the Dragon Spirit is the most widely known. Some believe it represents destruction, others believe it symbolizes rebirth. Few truly understand it, let alone wield it. And throughout Ionia's history, only one person has ever possessed the Dragon Spirit: Lee Sin—well, the future Lee Sin.

When Li Qing first arrived at the Sanctuary of Shokuki Temple as a child, he claimed to have been chosen by the dragon and destined to wield its power.

The monks of Suji Temple also saw the glint of the Dragon Fire within Li Qing, but they also sensed his recklessness, arrogance, and the potential for disaster. So the temple elders took Li Qing in, but to temper his temper, they kept him doing tasks like washing dishes and mopping the floor.

Seeing his peers becoming powerful monks and surpassing him one by one, the young Li Qing began to become impatient and didn't want to do menial work anymore.

So Li Qing sneaked into the secret library, found and mastered the method of perceiving the spiritual realm in the ancient texts without any instruction, and showed off his prowess in a martial arts class.

However, this recklessness caused him to mistakenly unleash the Dragon's Fury, and with a single strike, Li Qing severely injured and paralyzed the elder of the Suji Temple. Since then, Li Qing has been exiled from the temple and embarked on a long journey of wandering, traveling the world to fight for justice, helping the weak and the weak, and helping those in need without asking for anything in return.

But he had always felt guilty about his past, and now when he heard Fane call him 'Dragon Warrior', Li Qing felt an indescribable shame coming over him.

"I'm just an arrogant sinner..."

Chapter 163: The Balance of the Freljord.

Looking at Li Qing's eyes filled with self-blame, Fane comforted him calmly:

"The mistakes you made at Suji Temple don't mean anything. Everyone has a fickle side; what matters is the choices you make next. And your selfless help to those in need since then has proven your character."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing fell into a brief silence. A complex expression flashed across his dark eyes. Then, with a somewhat helpless chuckle, he said, "It seems that you really understand Ionia... You even know what happened in Suji Temple."

It wasn't just a commercial compliment. After hearing what Fane said, Li Qing really breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qing, who had once, due to his immaturity, crippled and paralyzed his highly respected and learned mentor with a kick, still remembers the sadness and self-blame in his mentor's eyes. He didn't blame Li Qing, but rather blamed himself for not teaching him the right way. This, however, only made it harder for Li Qing to free himself from the guilt.

It's not like no one had comforted Li Qing in the past, but the same comfort expressed by different people would sound completely different.

Although Fine himself had no sense of being in a high position and could bow his head whenever he wanted, in the eyes of outsiders, Fine was an absolute big shot.

He single-handedly reconciled the three Frost Sisters, integrated the chaotic ice fields, led the three sisters to the promised land, commanded hundreds of Freljord Iceborn to defeat and capture tens of thousands of elite Noxian troops, and single-handedly defeated a border town that was born entirely for war.

It was less than a day after the war ended, and the news hadn't spread yet. Otherwise, Faan would have been famous throughout Runeterra by now.

When such a powerful person spoke words of approval, although the meaning was the same, the weight they carried in people's ears would certainly be different - especially since Fan even knew what Li Qing had done.

Li Qing felt much more relieved when he was forgiven by someone who knew his mistakes.

"Thank you for your guidance. It makes me feel much better."

"You are welcome."

Faen was unconcerned: "A person's growth is about overcoming his or her immature past. I think the elders of Suji Temple would rather see you awaken than see you sink into depravity."

"……Will do."

Nodding, Li Qing took a deep breath, then walked to Faan's side and looked at the giant bear. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and then he asked: "Excuse me, why did you call me here?"

"Tell me what you think of the Freljord," Faan said.

"view?"

Li Qing was puzzled.

"Balance of the Freljord."

Fine prompted.

Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he nodded and said, "I came to the Freljord at a different time, but when it comes to balance, I do have some opinions of my own. The most important point is that the balance here is out of balance."

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Qing did not hide anything.

As the most mysterious spirit of Ionia, the Land of All Spirits, the Dragon Spirit possesses numerous remarkable attributes. The spirit realm isn't unique to Ionia; it's simply less active in other regions. While Lee Sin, through the power of the Dragon Spirit, can't directly enter the Freljord's spiritual realm, the "Spirit Plane," like Alora can, he can still perceive imbalances within the spirit realm through the veil.

"The balance here has been broken. I can hear that all the spirits here are not jubilant, but rather trapped in a long period of loss..."

Having trained with Udyr in the Freljord for some time, Lee Sin clearly has some understanding of the Freljord's current situation. However, the Freljord isn't as fertile as Ionia, where you can simply sow a few seeds and expect a bountiful harvest of rice the following year. With people struggling to make ends meet, there's no breeding ground for scholars, let alone those pursuing the highest levels of spiritual knowledge.

If people from other places need to think about how to distribute their talent points reasonably to appearance, wisdom and physique before they are born in order to have a happy life.

Well, in a place like the Freljord, even if you have all your strength, you may not be able to survive...

After hearing what Li Qing said, the people around nodded thoughtfully.

But Volibear disagreed. Instead, he snorted coldly at Faan and said, "So you want the Freljord to pursue the same so-called harmony and coexistence as Ionia?"

One could sense Volibear's disdain for this, while Ashe, standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully, finding Ionia's theory quite appealing.

If it were anything else, it would be hard to say who was right or wrong. But when it comes to the balance of the Freljord... Ashe is also wrong.

In the original storyline, the one who truly realized this was Udyr, who had come into contact with the spirit of Ionia and gained a deep understanding of Ionia's culture and spiritual realm. But as of now...

Raising a finger, Faan said, "I understand your point, Volibear. But let's be clear, I don't want to over-praise Ionia. I know full well that Ionia is different from the Freljord."

"It's like the same seed. Planted in the warm southern lands of the Freljord, it can produce sweet and juicy fruit, but planted in the northern mountains, it may never sprout. Even if it is lucky enough to grow successfully, the fruit will be dry and sour."

After stacking up his armor, Faan continued:

"The veil between the physical and spiritual realms of Ionia has been severely weakened by a calamity from ancient times. This has allowed Ionia's spiritual consciousness to directly influence the formation of the physical realm. This has shaped Ionia's unique cultural customs and made harmony and coexistence the balance that Ionia strives for."

Hearing this, Li Qing nodded.

After traveling far and wide to atone for his sins and reflecting on himself, Li Qing's experience also made him realize why Ionia emphasizes harmonious coexistence.

Whether on the material or spiritual level, all things and spirits have been integrated into Ionia and cannot be divided or expelled.

"But the Freljord is different. In fact, it's the opposite."

Fahn raised his hand and said:

"Faced with the harsh and unforgiving natural environment, the fighting instinct for survival is deeply engraved in the soul of every Freljordian. Through the Veil, this has also profoundly affected the balance of the Freljord spirit."

"Unlike Ionia's pursuit of harmony and coexistence, the Freljord's balance is based on struggle and conflict. However, this is by no means a meaningless fight or struggle, but a conflict between growth and change."

Chapter 164 Volibear's Promise.

After hearing what Faan said, Volibear and even Ashe beside him looked thoughtful.

"Is this why you told me that peace could not bring true peace to the Freljord?"

Looking at Faan, Ashe clearly remembered that when she first revealed her ideals to Faan some time ago, Faan had said something similar to her - for example, peace alone could not revitalize Friarjord.
