Chapter 424 Lucian
After all, this world is a world that relies on human relationships to survive.
People need relationships to connect.
In fact, this can also be the case between gods.
Janna has been alone for so long, finding some relationship for her is equivalent to finding one for herself.
So Lu Qi suddenly thought about it. There was no need to be at odds with Illaoi. It would be best to have a good relationship with him.
The same is true for itself.
The two sides are not jealous enemies when they meet.
So Lu Qi showed a gentle smile and said: "Actually, there is no need to hide the purpose of my visit. Why not find a place to sit and chat slowly."
Illaoi nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's go back to the Baru Temple first."
Sarah also didn't expect that she had just left the hated Baru Temple and now she would go back.
Even though he was very reluctant, looking at Lu Qi looking towards her, he still snorted coldly: "I'll go too."
She was also quite interested in the content of the conversation between the two.
After all, it was some level that she couldn't usually come into contact with.
Soon, several people returned to the Baru Temple, and under the leadership of Illaoi, entered a temple.
The huge golden statue of ‘Shen Xi’ was now placed on a wooden table.
The sandalwood scent floating in the temple makes people calm down unconsciously.
A low-level priest brought tea, and then quietly retreated, closing the door.
Lu Qi took a sip of the tea from the Baru Temple, took a deep breath, and then said: "I'll make the story short. The purpose of my coming to Bilgewater is to build a Hex Flying Gate here."
"Hex flying door?"
Both Illaoi and Sarah's eyes flashed, and they thought of something at the same time.
Sarah said: "You mean, the portal that caused a lot of commotion in Pi City some time ago?"
As a bounty hunter, she naturally cannot fall behind in terms of intelligence, so she already has a certain understanding of the big news coming from Piltover.
It is said that it is a portal that can teleport from one point to another in a short time regardless of distance. The description alone is shocking.
Illaoi is not ignorant, and he has some knowledge of Hex's Flying Sect.
"Not bad." Lu Qi nodded.
"What's the reason?" Illaoi looked at Lu Qi in front of him and already guessed his identity. "Since ancient times, the Anaconda Islands have never needed to be interfered by any country."
She was born with great wisdom, otherwise she would not have been chosen by the Snake Mother.
Even if you don't know Lu Qi deeply, you can already make a judgment based on various factors.
The other party is probably the rumored second prince of Demacia!
"No country will interfere here." Lu Qi said softly, "There are even very few people who can use this flying gate. I am purely trying to prevent problems before they happen."
Hearing this, Illaoi's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fell on Lu Qi, waiting for him to give more detailed reasons.
Sarah was thoughtful at this time, as if she thought of something.
Lu Qi stopped talking nonsense and said, "You must all know about Soul Eater Night."
Sarah stopped thinking and nodded: "Of course I know that the soul-eating nights have come more and more frequently in recent years. I have experienced it five times."
She had been in Bilgewater for fifteen years.
In the past fifteen years, I have experienced five soul-eating nights, and the most frequent ones have been in the past three years.
In the past, Soul Eater Night did not come every year, but in the past three years, it has happened every year.
Sarah, who had personally experienced the Soul-Eating Night, still shudders even when she thinks about it.
No one traces the reason for its appearance, and most people regard it as a punishment.
That time of year when the dead come back for revenge.
Illaoi knew that this was not the case. Although her complexion was still as pale as water, there was already a bit more light in her eyes.
Lu Qi continued: "Actually, Bilgewater was not the only one affected by the Soul-Eating Night. In the western waters of Demacia, the Soul-Eating Night also appeared."
"The scope is so wide?"
Sarah was slightly startled, she had seen the map.
The western sea of Demacia is already quite far away from Bilgewater.
At the same time, she suddenly understood that Soul Devouring Night was not simply targeting Blue Flame Island!
At this moment, she wanted to know even more what the source of this ghostly black mist was.
"I understand what you mean." Illaoi let out a deep breath and said, "Actually, I came to you for another purpose. I can promise you to build the Hex Flying Gate in Bilgewater. . But you also have to promise me one thing."
Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Is it also about Soul Eater Night?"
"good."
Illaoi nodded and said: "The great Naga Kapoulos has been the god in charge of life and movement since the beginning of his birth. This is also the teaching we have always followed. The meaning of life lies in movement, and Not stopping for a moment, stopping means death.
And because of the emergence of Soul-Eating Night, countless undead, or undead, were born. This is obviously contrary to our teachings and is also a provocation to Mother Hu.
From very early on, Baru's priests and true ones have been fighting against the Soul-eating Night, which was originally the meaning of our existence. In the past, the black mist was very weak and could be driven away without any effort.
Mother Hu didn't pay much attention to the black mist at first. However, as time goes by, these black mist seem to be endless and become more and more powerful.
A hundred years ago, the existence of black mist finally angered Hu's mother. It emerged from the sea of 10,000 meters and forcibly suppressed the incoming black mist, but it also suffered backlash and had to go into hibernation every once in a while.
Over the years, its power to stay in the black mist has gradually weakened, or perhaps because the black mist has become stronger, it appears more frequently.
Now that I have become the True One, my duty is to repel the Soul-Eating Night when it comes. But I don't want this. I want to find the source of the black fog and remove it completely. "
Illaoi told a long story, and at the end his eyes widened, like bells, exuding an aura of calmness and self-power.
Obviously, the existence of the black mist also made her troublesome and very unhappy.
"I also understand." Lu Qi nodded slightly, "It seems that our ideas coincide, and my goal is to completely solve the Soul-Eating Night. This time I came to Bilgewater to find another Mate, he's an expert at dealing with these undead."
Illaoi sighed softly and said: "The thing that makes me unable to fight against the Soul-Eating Night is that I don't know where its root is. Even Mother Hu can't find it."
Lu Qi shared the intelligence report: "As far as I know, the black mist comes from a place called Shadow Island. It is hidden above the sea and is indeed difficult to find."
"It seems to be a more advanced method than summoning snakes." Illaoi thought about it.
Blue Flame Island has been attacked by sea monsters all year round, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two have hurt each other. There will inevitably be some powerful sea monsters among them.
In order to prevent these sea monsters from finding the location of Bilgewater, the ancient profession of snake caller appeared.
They use a specially made horn, half of which is connected to the water, and then blow it with different rhythms.
It can disturb the waves and make the sea monsters lose their way.
Since the Shadow Island exists, but it can avoid Mother Hu's observation, it is obvious that a more high-end method is used than this.
Or, its existence itself is a place that is difficult to observe.
"In the ancient records of the temple, there are indeed descriptions of the Island of the Dead. But no one has ever survived from there, so people think it is just a legend."
Hearing what Lu Qi said, Illaoi remembered a legend in the records of Baru Temple.
Sarah also said thoughtfully at this time: "Many boatmen also said that they have seen a similar island. It appeared on the sea, shrouded in mist, but disappeared again in a blink of an eye."
She also thought it was just a deliberately made-up story, but she didn't expect it to be true.
"My friend noticed that Shadow Island is becoming more and more unstable. I came here to see him, but I don't have his whereabouts yet."
Lu Qi took a sip of tea, and he was not surprised by the legends the two told him.
The Anaconda Islands are already very close to the Shadow Island, so they are attacked by Soul Eater Night quite frequently.
From what Illaoi said, Mother Hu even appeared in person to suppress the black mist, but the result was not ideal.
The side proves that Shadow Island is so powerful that not even a single god can do anything about it.
Sarah asked: "What are the characteristics of your friend?"
"Dark-skinned, cold and stern, as if people owed him money."
Lu Qi imagined Lucian's image and described it briefly.
Sarah was speechless: "Aren't there people like this everywhere in Bilgewater?"
At this moment, the crystal stone Lu Qi wore on his wrist suddenly reacted and glowed and heated up.
He immediately said to himself: "It seems that we can see him tonight. As expected, he has already arrived on the island."
When Illaoi and Sara heard this, they were also slightly stunned.
On the sea, a small boat with candle lights came quietly and slowly found a place with few people to dock.
Lucian frowned, noticing that Bilgewater was obviously different from when he left.
At this moment, the Blue Flame Island in his eyes was like a city with broken order, with chaos everywhere, and gangs fighting against each other on the streets.
Robbery, flames, and killings can be seen everywhere.
"What's going on here?"
Lucian muttered to himself in confusion, leaning towards a place with fewer people, trying not to attract attention.
However, he forgot that in such a place with weak laws, the less crowded the place, the easier it is to hide some insidious and dirty people.
I saw a few people walking out of the shadows, staring at Lucian with undisguised desire in their eyes.
"Hand over all the valuable things you have on you, and we can spare your life."
One of the leaders spoke in a sinister tone, and while speaking, he raised the gleaming scimitar in his hand as a threat.
Lucian was wearing a cloak, so he couldn't tell whether he was rich or poor. He glanced at a few people and said, "I don't have anything valuable on me."
Then someone immediately sneered and said: "If you are a pauper, consider yourself unlucky. We have killed several people like you tonight."
"Are you sure you don't cherish this opportunity?" Lucian sighed lightly. In fact, he was not a trouble-making person.
But trouble always knocks on his door.
"What an arrogant tone."
"I hope you won't beg grandpa for mercy when you are about to die soon."
"Stop talking nonsense and do it!"
The group of people directly planned to take action. Human life tonight was not worth a penny. Gangplank's death had completely affected the entire Bilgewater.
Everyone knew that the world was going to be in chaos, and everyone's ambition exploded at this moment.
But as soon as they took a step, Lucian moved faster.
He raised his two hands holding the gun from under his cloak, and the sound of "bang bang bang bang" gunshots was heard. Bullets flashing like white light were shot out instantly, penetrating the bodies of several people.
Those two pistols are unique in shape and extremely exquisite in appearance.
Several people fell down instantly, which also scared the rest of the people. One of them shouted: "If you have any hard problems, come here!"
He quickly ran to find cover, but the bullet followed him and passed through his chest mercilessly.
"Crash!" More people came running from a distance, like members of a gang.
"Bang bang bang!"
At the same time, gunshots were heard and shot towards Lucian.
He was already on guard and dodged quickly, looking very cool. It seemed that even the bullets could not catch up, and at the same time, bullets of holy light were shot out one after another, each one landing on the enemy accurately.
The speed of those undead is much faster than these people. If he doesn't even have this accuracy, he doesn't have to mess around.
"Damn, there's only one guy in this guy!"
"Shoot him!"
"Shoot!"
"Help, I've been shot, I don't want to die!"
Roaring, roaring, and wailing instantly made the place lively.
This gang had a large number of people, and they were attacking from all directions, and many of them were armed with muskets. It was quite troublesome for Lucian to deal with them.
He sighed again, wondering why Bilgewater had become such a place of robbery and murder on the streets.
His weapon was supposed to be aimed at the undead, but now it was helplessly aimed at his compatriots.
Lucian single-handedly resisted the siege of dozens of people and knocked down one after another.
His strength also began to frighten the people in the gang. Some people thought of quitting, but it also made some people risk their lives, regardless of the danger.
No one here is a fool, and many people have discovered that two guns that can fire white bullets are obviously very valuable.
After Lucian was forced into a bunker, bullets hit the bunker where he was hiding. He exhaled and planned to find the right time to jump out of the bunker.
It was almost unstoppable.
It was at this time that a third party seemed to join.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Gunshots were heard quickly, and bullets were shot mercilessly at one person after another.
A huge turquoise-like transparent whip rose up from the ground, slammed down hard, making a loud "rumbling" sound, and then swept across again, sweeping several people away again.
The joining of the two men brought the battle to an end quickly, and the remaining gang members had already fled.
Just seeing the appearance of the whip has frightened their courage.
"It seems like Bilgewater will be able to wash away a lot of moths tonight."
Lucian saw a red-haired woman walking out slowly, looking at the corpses on the ground with cold eyes.
Then another tall and strong woman walked out with calm eyes, holding a golden statue in her hand, which looked extremely heavy.
Lucian felt a lot of pressure from her.
This tall, strong woman is very strong.
"Lucian, long time no see."
At this moment, Lu Qi walked out from behind them with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness the Prince!"
Lucian said in surprise. At this moment, he felt quite happy to see an old friend. He walked out of the bunker and looked at Lu Qi, feeling filled with emotions for a while.
