"You said you cleared the curse of the Isle of Shadows?"

Camille's hand holding the teacup froze, the first time Jeno had seen such a surprised look on her face.

"It's true, it only takes some time to make it livable, and if we don't hurry up and prepare for colonization, if Ezreal publishes the Shadow Isle Travelogue, our vested interests may shrink."

Jeno took a sip of the black tea that Camille had brewed himself, and it was still so hot.

"I could make that kid unable to publish books for the rest of his life." Camille drank the cup of black tea, her brow furrowed slightly, because she had missed the most mellow moment of the cup of tea because she was distracted.

"Ahem, don't ruin someone's dreams, it will take months to turn an expedition manuscript into a travelogue at a normal rate, unless he chooses to publish it in a daily newspaper, but he won't do that, because he always wants to be a blockbuster. We just need to get ahead of the next Night of Soul Eclipse. ”

Jeno's idea is that if the next Night of Soul Eclipse doesn't come as promised, the entire Runeterras will realize that something has changed in the Shadow Isle, and all the Pheros has to do is to hold on to this treasure before the red-eyed people want to reach for it.

But this idea seemed unrealistic to Camille, because the Philos family alone could not do such a thing.

"But after all, we are just a family in a city-state, not a huge country, there is not so much population to drive, and few people who are accustomed to living in developed cities are willing to move to the wilderness for development."

"That's right, but who are you going to work with? Other families in Phi City? ”

"No, our advantage in working with them will be lost, because everyone is at the same level of technology, and they all have the technology they used in the colony. What we really need is a lot of labor support, and only that populous country has the ability to help us. ”

Speaking of the populous country in the Runeterras, a name naturally popped into Jeno's mind: "You mean Noxus?" ”

Camille nodded, but Jeno's brow furrowed deeply.

"Your idea is dangerous, it's hard for us to take advantage of the Noxians."

The Noxus are aggressive and are the best at colonizing them, and even Ionia and Shurima have a lot of territory under their rule.

In the face of a large and powerful empire, what qualifications does a small family have to take most of the cake?

"But we must get our hands on the island's documents and relics and start researching magic."

Piltover is recognized as a barren place of magic, and Camille is well aware that Hextech is just a nascent technological artifact, and its deterrent power is far from being comparable to the magic that has survived in this world for countless years, and it will take a long time to perfect.

During this time, Piltover must not only rely on technology to protect himself, but also keep up with the times in his study of magic, otherwise he will be slaughtered by others like he was invaded by Zelas not long ago.

"Then send the relevant personnel to retrieve the documents and holy relics first, and the colonization matter will be postponed for a while. I'll draw you a map and mark the safe route on it, although the undead are gone, there are some ancient mechanisms that need to be taken care of. ”

Although Elise, who had just met Noxus, was considered to have some connections, Jano thought about it again and again, and finally decided to postpone the colonization and take the relics of literature as his own, and his own people would secretly develop a wave first.

"In order to ensure that the mission is successfully completed, I will go there myself." Camille turned off the fire and said cautiously.

……

Camille's efficiency was fast, and the next day he took the fleet to empty Fuguang Island.

The curse was gone, and there was no longer a black mist there, so Jeno didn't have to worry much about their safety, as long as he didn't have more hands to activate the holy relics, there would be no major problems.

On this day, Jeno came to a sealed room in the underground laboratory.

Because he has to study the Blade of the Ruined King, some necessary protective measures must be taken well, otherwise it will be a great sin to let the curse breed in Picheng.

He took out the King's Sword, the blade of which was still pitch black under the light, as if it was like a black hole, trying to suck people's eyes into it.

"This sword is very evil."

Jeno couldn't figure out why the sword used to preside over the ritual could absorb so much of the power of the curse, suppress the spread of the black mist, and also possess the power to change the rules of the curse.

Isn't it enchantment to infuse magic into weapons?

But he had never heard of any enchanted weapon that could be so powerful, and even Raven's rune broadsword was even artificially shattered.

But the blade of the ruined king can directly command the undead, and there is no comparison at all.

So there must be something strange about this sword!

Under Jeno's deliberate inspection, he soon discovered the special feature of this sword, the crystal clear gem on the hilt of the sword seemed to be a little unusual, it gathered most of the magic of this sword, is this a decorative gem should have the ability?

So Jeno pulled it off.

Then, weird things happened!

When the gem was separated from the sword body, the darkness on the sword body immediately faded, as if it had been eroded by hundreds of years of wind and frost in an instant, and immediately became rusty and pitted, and the light was no longer there, and you could only look at the luxury and glory of this sword from some broken details.

He re-embedded the gem in the hilt, but what had already happened would not change.

"I destroyed an artifact?"

Confused, Jeno looked at the Rusty Sword, then at the Jewel, and fell into deep thought.

Why did the Sword of Kings become mortal without the gem? And it's exactly what a long sword that has been eroded for hundreds of years should be, is the purpose of this gem to keep things standing still in time?

Speaking of stillness, Jeno immediately remembered the floating ruins of the city of Helia, which had been static and suspended in the air for hundreds of years, a phenomenon that Jeno believed was only capable of being caused by the runes of the world.

If Jeno's inference is correct, then the gem in his hand is not surprising......

"Sir, this gemstone has a very powerful energy and is even capable of changing the rules of nature." At this time, Hex had already analyzed the role of gemstones in advance.

"I've guessed that only the World Rune can do such a thing." Jeno replied firmly, it turned out that it was the gem in Jeno's hand that caused the static phenomenon.

"You're great, then." Hex, who has not had a role for too long, did not forget to say a poor sentence to increase his sense of existence.
