Chapter 519 The most important meeting
Shadow Island.
It stands on the water, hidden in the black fog. In the eyes of the world, it seems to be between existence and non-existence.
And when it wants to appear again, the black fog will inevitably sweep across the entire Runeland.
The island is shrouded in a green silence, and from time to time, undead spirits pass by, making strange and creepy floating sounds.
Located in the deepest part of the island, the broken rocks here are like the ruins of a collapsed palace, with only a broken and charred throne, and on the throne, a long green blade stands.
Blade of the King.
It is silent here, and even the undead outside dare not come to disturb it. I don’t know how many years it has lasted.
Suddenly, a skeleton-like ghost walked over with a calm step. He held a lantern with a strange halo in one hand, a chain hook hanging around his waist, wearing a wide mage robe, and holding a small black umbrella in the other hand.
It was Thresh.
The closer Thresh got to the throne, the more respectful his steps became. He slowly stopped at about two to three meters away, then knelt on one knee, carefully put down the lantern, and held up the black umbrella with both hands.
"Great Ruined King, I found what you want for you."
He stretched out his tone, like a respectful minister.
As soon as the voice fell, the King's Blade inserted in front of the throne trembled slightly. Suddenly, the black fog around continued to surge and began to condense into a tall body.
Visibly, a man with pale skin, handsome face and ghost crown on his head gradually appeared. His face was cold and his deep green eyes exuded indifference to everything.
Only when he looked at the umbrella, or the only thing he cared about on the umbrella, did he reveal a trace of emotional fluctuations.
"Isold."
The Ruined King stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently picked up the umbrella. The moment he touched the umbrella, the remaining soul attached to the spiritual umbrella also appeared.
It wandered aimlessly like a jellyfish in the deep sea, and finally, under the guidance of the Ruined King, it slowly floated to a place.
And there, there were already some residual souls like it. They all came from the same person and carried the Ruined King's thoughts for thousands of years.
"Not enough. Far from enough." The Ruined King's eyes fell on those residual souls. It seemed that a beautiful woman flashed before his eyes, flashing every bit of her, flashing her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
His love, his sadness, his pain, like a river that never dries up, gradually gathered into the current black fog.
"Find them out, find them all."
The Ruined King looked back, his cold eyes looked at Thresh, and ordered.
Thresh still knelt there respectfully, and replied: "My king, we are all restricted to this island because of the Black Mist. There are also Light Sentinels in the outside world who have been fighting against the Black Mist. We have been searching in various places in Runeland for these years, but we have only found these."
"I also found that one of the soul fragments of the princess was attached to a Light Sentinel. I wanted to bring her here, but I encountered another Light Sentinel on the way. After a fierce battle, I was defeated by both of them."
While speaking, Thresh also raised the lantern, revealing the pierced hole on it, as if he was very aggrieved.
Viego sat on the throne, quietly listening to Thresh's search for reasons, without any emotional fluctuations.
Until Thresh finished speaking, he raised his eyes lightly: "Light Sentinels. Have they been blocking me all these years?"
His consciousness was asleep most of the time, but even in sleep, his thoughts for Isolde did not stop.
The Black Mist that went from the Shadow Isles to various places in Runeland was his thoughts.
Thresh immediately replied, "Yes, those Sentinels of Light have been fighting against the Shadow Isles since the beginning. They can use the holy objects they took from the Blessed Isles to repel the Black Mist."
Viego listened quietly, and then said, "Well. Soon, I will be able to break through the shackles left by the Blessed Isles. At that time, I will personally deal with those Sentinels of Light and bring Isolde back."
His memory of the Blessed Isles before and after was very vague, but he no longer cared about it. He only knew that it was the Blessed Isles that imprisoned him.
But now, he is about to break through the seal, and then, there will be no restrictions between him and the Black Mist.
With his noble status, when he breaks through the shackles, these things would have been enough for the dead souls under his command.
But he has to do it himself, because Isolde is worth it.
As time goes by, his love and longing for Isolde not only did not decrease, but became more and more intense.
"We are all looking forward to this day."
Threshe said with some excitement.
"Go away." Viego waved his hand wearily, signaling Thresh to go away.
"Yes."
Thresh stood up, faced Viego, and stepped back step by step until he was about ten meters away, then he left without making any sound, and a smile seemed to appear on his face.
After Thresh left, Viego looked back at the soul fragments. He waved his hand, and the air fluctuated like the surface of the water. A flawless, pure and beautiful woman appeared on the water, with a smile on her lips, and her moving eyes seemed to be looking at him affectionately.
But after just one glance, the scene disappeared. Viego couldn't help but reach out his hand to keep her, but he caught nothing in his hand.
"Isold. Why don't you come back to me?"
Viego's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.
Soon, his eyes became firm, exuding a coldness.
It won't take long.
For Isold, he is willing to give everything, even if it means sacrificing the entire Runeland.
Piltover.
Located in Runeland, the city of progress is almost the center of the world.
With the opening of Hextech and flying gates, it can be said that this city has become the heart of the world.
The Hextech flying gate teleportation base, with a blue magic light covering the entire tower from bottom to top, and then a "buzz", the teleportation spacecraft from another base has arrived in the flashing blue light.
The whole process from entry to teleportation took only ten minutes.
It can be said that this invention has made the wheel of progress of the times roll forward.
Even in history, it has great significance.
After the teleportation spacecraft landed at the designated location, the tourists on it walked out one after another, and among them, there was a man and a woman accompanying them.
It was Lucian and Senna.
Seeing the surrounding scene changing in an instant, Senna's surprise was beyond words. She couldn't help but say, "Has the world changed too much in the past two years when I was away?"
What was it they were riding just now? It could actually teleport such a long distance, and it seemed that this was already very common.
She was only locked up for a few years, and those who didn't know would think that a century had passed.
And the stone-like thing Lucian used before could communicate with others over a long distance, which was also extremely convenient.
Senna, who was developing fast, couldn't adapt to it.
Lucian smiled and said, "In fact, these were only used half a year ago. When I first sat on it, I felt the same as you."
Senna nodded slightly.
The two chatted and walked out.
Soon, Lucian saw Lucci, who was very conspicuous in the crowd outside.
Lucci smiled and walked forward: "Long time no see."
Lucian couldn't help but smile and said: "Long time no see, Your Highness. This is my wife, I introduced her to you, Senna."
Senna heard this and immediately bowed and said: "Nice to meet you, Your Highness."
"You're welcome, nice to meet you."
Lucci smiled at her.
Two days ago, they had already contacted each other through the secret key, and he also learned that Lucian had found his wife, Senna.
At the same time, he also learned about the Shadow Island.
"You are the only one missing, let's go."
He glanced at the two of them, turned around and led the way.
Lucian and Senna followed immediately.
The three of them walked smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the foot of a tall building, and then entered it.
Take the elevator all the way to the twelfth floor. When the elevator door opened, a spacious conference hall with light on all sides was revealed.
In the hall, many people had already been waiting here.
Demacia's Tiana, Jarvan IV, Garen, Xin Zhao, Lux, Fiora, Sona and many other people were basically present.
At the same time, there were several councillors from Piltover and Zaun, including Heimerdinger, Jayce, Viktor, Caitlyn, Wei, Jinx, and Ekko.
Bilgewater's Sarah, Illaoi and their respective confidants were present.
Ionia was led by Karma and Irelia, with Akali, Ahri, Yi, Zed, and Shen all in the queue.
In addition, there were Taliyah, Kai'Sa, and Katarina.
Yes, Katarina was also called over by Lucci, after all, it was related to the Shadow Isles, so it was necessary to inform her.
The rest were the Light Sentinel teammates who separated from Lucci from Biltover last time and set out to find.
They all arrived in Piltover first.
Basically, all the reliable people that Lucci had made friends with for so long were here. There were so many people that they almost filled up the entire conference hall.
At the same time, this was almost the largest meeting in Runeland.
Everyone's expression was very serious, knowing that what they were going to face next was not simple.
With the arrival of the three people, the noisy conversations in the hall slowly stopped.
"Everyone, let's not talk about some meaningless polite words. Everyone is a friend. We will keep in touch in the future."
Lucci walked into the center of the conference hall and said, "I believe everyone knows that the purpose of my summoning you this time is the Shadow Island that I will talk about next."
"Many people present should not have learned about the Shadow Island and the black fog that devours people for the first time. Its harm is imminent and must be faced as soon as possible."
"And the two people next to me came with important information and will share it with you, and this is also the key to our fight against the Shadow Island."
He looked at Senna and Lucian, then took a step back and gave them the protagonist position.
Among those present, even he did not dare to say that he knew Shadow Island better than them.
Senna felt everyone's eyes on her, and she, who had seen many big scenes, could not help but feel a sense of pressure.
But she knew that these people were all partners who could fight side by side in the future.
And to fight Shadow Island, she must also need their strength.
After exhaling, Senna stepped forward and introduced herself: "My name is Senna, and I am a Sentinel of Light. Our main duty is to fight against the Shadow Isles and the Black Mist. Many years ago, Lucian and I were imprisoned in a cage with only death and torture when we fought against a Shadow Isles ghost. But for some special reasons, not only did I not die, but I also learned a lot about the Shadow Isles."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and released a black mist.
The black mist slowly rose into the air, and then spread in a circle in the air. The part exposed in the middle emerged like the surface of the water.
"First of all, it is this black mist. Its source is a curse called love. And the person who spread this curse is what I am going to talk about next, Viego."
As Senna spoke, the scene emerging from the black mist also changed, revealing a young man wearing a crown.
"If you want to know the truth about the Shadow Isles, you must start from its predecessor, the Blessed Isles, thousands of years ago."
Senna told everything she knew bit by bit.
Back then, when Shadow Island was still the Blessed Island, it was hidden in the mist. A mysterious group lived on the island, and their mission was to protect the Rune Land.
Outside the island, there was a powerful empire.
One day, the crown prince of the country suddenly died in an accident. The young second prince inherited the throne inexplicably, but he had neither the will nor the ability to govern the country, and he almost didn't care about his throne.
It can be said that he governed the country very mediocrely, which led to the decline of the powerful empire. Until the day he married the princess, the princess came from the bottom of the country, a poor seamstress, but she was beautiful and kind.
The king gave her the best of everything, including his love, and the two were close and inseparable.
With the help of the princess, the young king gradually took care of the declining kingdom again. Just when everything was thriving, an accident suddenly happened.
At a banquet, a conspiracy that had been planned for the king for a long time was quietly brewing, but it was the princess who bore the price.
Innocently, she drank the poisoned wine prepared for the king and fell on the spot.
The young king was stunned on the spot, and then he became furious and ordered the hall to be sealed off. He had to find the murderer who poisoned the woman.
He did find the murderer, a relative of his, the emperor's uncle, and some ministers who had been coveting the throne for a long time, but he didn't expect that the princess would save him from this disaster.
The furious young king beheaded them on the spot, and the blood dyed the banquet hall red.
He used tough measures to save his throne, but he couldn't save the princess' life.
Even if he used the best medicine and found the best doctor, he could only keep the princess alive.
