Chapter 521 Gwen
Lu Qi was speeding over the sea like the wind, and the Blue Flame Islands behind him had already been stretched a long distance.
At this time, at a glance, the sea surface is still extremely peaceful, with a calm scene, and there are even seagulls and other birds flying around.
However, as time passed and after leaving the Blue Flame Islands, Lu Qi seemed to be moving towards the deepest part of the endless sea, and the scene in his eyes was constantly updated.
From the calmness of the beginning to the eerie silence now, the distant sky is shrouded under a dark cloud, exuding an unsettling aura. The sky gradually became darker, as if we had arrived at the end of the world, an empty world.
Lu Qi continued to move forward, and finally saw the black mist, hovering above the sea, moving slowly bit by bit. Like a dark giant beast that had just awakened, its body occupied the sky and the earth, devouring the small islands and lives in its path.
The center of the black mist seemed to be beating like a heart. Countless black auras filled it, moving around as if they were alive. It seemed as if some kind of wind explosion was brewing, exuding an extremely depressing aura.
Lu Qi's eyes were a little more solemn.
Then, without hesitation, he flew towards the black fog, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the overwhelming black fog.
The surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, as if entering a dead cemetery on a cold winter night. The cold air wanted to enter from the body and occupy the soul all the time.
Energy surged from Lu Qi's body, cutting off the black mist and opening up a certain distance around him.
As soon as he entered the black fog, he heard the wails and roars of countless dead souls in his ears, as if they were rubbing their claws back and forth on a steel plate.
At the same time, pairs of cold eyes were cast from all directions.
"Leave far away."
Lu Qi just made a faint sound, and the rune energy on his body overflowed, triggering a series of sharp roars, and the weak souls moved away in fear.
As for those who are not afraid of death, Lu Qi doesn't mind sending them on their way.
His Haoran Righteousness has been raised to the full level, and it has the same effect as a holy light weapon against these undead evil spirits.
Soon, Lu Qi quickly started walking through the black fog. His purpose was to find the Shadow Island first.
However, after walking around for a while, no trace of Shadow Island was found.
Because of the special magnetic field generated by the black mist, Shadow Island seems to be hidden in another realm.
"It seems that there is still some time before the Shadow Island appears."
Lu Qi confirmed it, but in the black mist, he also observed that their time was running out.
At this moment, Lu Qi suddenly felt a wave of breath.
"Is there anyone?"
He changed direction and flew towards the place where the breath came from.
Soon I discovered an island occupied by black mist. There were sounds of fighting coming from the island, as if someone was fighting against the dead souls in the black mist.
I'm afraid it's the people who didn't have time to evacuate. As the Sea Queen of Bilgewater, Sarah had already notified the residents in the nearby waters a few days ago to evacuate to Piraeus Port or farther away as soon as possible.
But there is always someone who has no time to retreat.
Lu Qi was very fast and landed on the island in a blink of an eye. He also saw a light blue thin cloud-like mist lingering on a field, resisting the invasion of the surrounding black mist. In this mist, A figure is fighting bravely.
On the other side, there were residents gathering together, shivering.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!"
The girl's clear and firm voice came out, and the sharp scissors in her hand slashed quickly and fiercely, and the evil spirits dispersed.
The first time he saw her, Lu Qi recognized her immediately.
Lingluo Doll——Gwen!
The soul of Isulde, the wife of the Ruined King, is divided into many parts, but the main three parts are in three people.
One is Senna.
The other person is Gwen, who was given life by the soul and became a human from the state of a doll.
The third person is the Soul Shepherd - Yorick, who is probably in the Shadow Island now.
The surrounding black mist has completely occupied the island, and there are countless undead souls. Even if Gwen kills one after another, groups of evil ghosts will still emerge from the black mist.
The holy mist released by Gwen was also being corroded bit by bit by the black mist, and its scope was constantly shrinking. The residents couldn't help but lean closer, and their faces turned pale with fear.
Gwen fought hard, panting from exhaustion, and gradually felt powerless. She didn't know what to do, so she just waved the scissors tirelessly.
She is not afraid of the black mist. Even if the Holy Aura Realm is destroyed, she can protect herself, but that will not protect those innocent people.
At this moment, she saw a powerful magic coming from a distance, like a thunderbolt, penetrating the bodies of the undead.
In just the blink of an eye, all the dead souls around him were cleared away.
The power of this magical attack stunned Gwen.
Soon, Lu Qi's figure fell from the sky. Gwen looked at it and immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome." Lu Qi looked at her. The girl in front of him had silvery blue curly hair, glittering golden accessories, an elegant and exquisite dress, and a beautiful doll-like face with extremely beautiful facial features. .
She held a pair of half-real and half-virtual giant scissors in her hands, and her lively eyes were looking at him, with a little curiosity flashing in them.
Who is this man who can freely shuttle in the black fog?
This is the first time Gwen has seen humans so free and easy in the black fog.
"Come with me first, let's leave here first."
Lucci raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Gwen felt a wave of magic surge in her body. She thought about it and did not resist.
In the blink of an eye, she found herself on a ship at the same time as the residents of the island.
At this moment, she was still in the black fog, but the ship was protected by the energy emitted by Lucci and began to move quickly outside.
After a panic, the residents slowly calmed down and realized that Lucci was helping them get out of trouble and leave this gloomy and terrifying black fog.
Under Lucci's control, the speed of the ship was very abnormal, almost flying on the sea.
Therefore, it didn't take long for them to leave the black fog, and then leave the black fog far behind.
Only then did Lucci slowly slow down the boat, giving the residents time to catch their breath.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lucci, and I came here specifically to investigate the Black Mist."
Lucci briefly introduced himself.
Gwen also understood quickly and said, "My name is Gwen, and I also came here to investigate the Black Mist. Then I found this inhabited island, and it was too late to evacuate them."
She looked at Lucci curiously, as if she had a lot to ask.
"We still have time, if you want to ask anything, just ask."
Lucci couldn't help but smile when he saw her big, flashing eyes.
"Why did you investigate the Black Mist?" Gwen asked curiously at first.
"Runeland has been threatened by the Black Mist. I called on a group of people and the Sentinels of Light to unite and fight against the Black Mist."
Lucci first gave a brief explanation and then asked, "What about you?"
Gwen immediately answered simply, "I want to rescue my master, so I must face the master of this Black Mist, a guy named Viego. Later, I found that there seemed to be a lot of people persecuted by Viego, and I wanted to save them from suffering."
She said it very seriously, and her firm eyes did not make people feel a trace of hypocrisy.
She really wanted to save more people.
Lucci heard it and said, "The Ruined King?"
Gwen nodded: "Do you know him?"
"Of course, he is the guy we are going to attack next." Lucci smiled and continued, "It seems that we have the same aspirations, why not join us, Gwen."
"Okay!"
Gwen nodded immediately without any hesitation and agreed readily.
She was already grateful to Lucci, and now she knew that there was a group of like-minded partners, which made her even happier.
She was even impatient to see them.
While controlling the boat, Lucci asked casually: "What is the master you mentioned just now?"
Gwen tilted her head: "Master is the master."
"Can you be more specific?"
"It's the person who created me, the scissors, pillow, and ball of thread. My master used these tools to create me, and then under some kind of wonderful magic, I came to life in an instant."
Gwen gestured with her hands and feet, like a little girl who didn't know the world.
She answered whatever was asked, and didn't hide her origins at all.
"I see." Lucci nodded and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to have life?"
"It's awesome." Gwen said excitedly. "I like the feeling of my heart beating, thump thump, and this world is also beautiful. That's why I don't want it to be destroyed by the hateful Viego."
She just got life, but she has realized the beauty of the world. She wants to go to many places, eat a lot of delicious food, participate in celebrations, and laugh with humans.
For this, she must defeat Viego!
She is really straightforward, and the angelic smile on her face makes people want to protect her.
"Don't worry, we will definitely defeat Viego."
Lucci said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Gwen nodded vigorously.
It didn't take long.
Lucci took Gwen to Bilgewater, first introduced her to Sarah and others, and then took her to Piltover.
Gwen was a little nervous when she took the Hexgate for the first time, and she exclaimed again and again when she saw Piltover for the first time, and she felt extremely amazing.
She has been wandering in the sea near Shadow Island since she was born. She knows the outside world from some inhabited islands.
"Now that we have the Hexgate, you can quickly reach any place in Runeland you want to go in the future."
Lucci walked in front with a smile.
Gwen looked up, turned her body and looked at the buildings around her. The high-rise buildings were reflected in her eyes. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's amazing."
She became more determined to see more of the world.
After that, through Lucci's introduction, Gwen also got to know the people in Piltover and officially joined the team against Shadow Island.
"I can feel Viego's breath. He is ready to move now and can't wait."
Gwen said to everyone.
For the same special reason as Senna, she can sense the connection between evil spirits, the black fog and Viego.
In other words, she can detect Viego's movements.
Her joining is helpful to everyone, at least they can know when Viego will come.
And this time is very short. Gwen has a hunch that Viego will appear in the next five days.
So there is not much time left for everyone to prepare. In the next two days, Gwen integrated into the team and made many friends.
And Lucci also met Ryze, who had rushed back, but he didn't stay for long and left by the flying door, apparently to Demacia.
There is no way to know what he went to do.
But he said that he would come as soon as the Shadow Isles appeared.
As for the soul fragments of Isolder, everyone found three more in Ionia, each close to different seashores, which happened to be the first location when the black fog came.
It seems too late to transfer them together, so Karma and Irelia decided to guard three areas separately.
Lucci told Syndra about this, and Syndra promised him that she would go to help when the time comes.
Apart from anything else, with her promise, this matter still feels very reliable.
In addition, there are Master Yi, the swordmaster, and a bunch of people in Ionia, so Lucci thinks there is no need to worry too much.
Not long after, two soul fragments were also found on the sea surface of Ekathia in Shurima, and they were also too late to transfer.
However, Lucci informed the Protoss in Mount Targon of this news. At this time, they naturally cannot be left idle.
The last two soul fragments were found on the seashore near the north and east of Noxus. At that time, Katarina will lead the team to set up defenses in those two places.
She is now one of the three people in charge of Noxus, and her real power is still very large.
And Swain seems to have known the danger of this matter. There is a secret demon in his body, and nothing can be hidden from him.
I think he will also help Katarina strengthen the defense line.
After making all the necessary preparations, the team heading to the Shadow Isles also gathered in Bilgewater.
They are Lucci, Gwen, Lux, Morgana, Poppy, Sona, Lucian, Senna, Illaoi, Sarah, Ryze, Wei, Ahri, Zed, Sun Wukong and six Light Sentinels.
Twenty-one in total.
The rest, like Fiora, Kai'Sa, Janna, Jarvan IV, Garen, Jinx, Jayce, etc., all went to guard the soul fragments.
For Viego, the soul fragments are the most important. This black fog is cursed by love, and because of his love for Isolde, the more fragments he finds, the stronger he will be.
Therefore, these fragments must also be protected by combat power.
These days, the furnace of the Light Sentinels is running all the time. With the technical provision of Senna and the cooperation of Piltover, the weapons of the Light Sentinels are efficiently produced one by one.
It can be said that Lucci and others have made sufficient preparations for this matter.
