Chapter 286: Return to Zu'an

With Cana's escort, the journey back was smooth sailing.

Although there were only four people on the huge ship, and not a single sailor was brought with them, the power provided by the sails alone was more than the thrust produced by a hundred sailors who swung their oars with all their might.

Upon his departure from the port to the Sea of the Watchers, Sivir repeatedly instructed Jeno to pay tithes to the sea, and witnessed Jeno throw a silver snake coin into the sea before he would give up.

No one knows better than Sivir what the consequences of not paying taxes are, and when the huge figure emerges from the bottom of the ocean and drags the boat into the water, you can feel that primal fear.

A group of four people salted fish on the boat for two days of sea breeze, and the smooth sailing was perfect.

Jeno is okay, he can also draw blueprints to pass the time, and the other three can only bask in the sun and exchange anecdotes about their hometowns.

Jeno had also thought of entering Tamm's mouth en masse and having him use the Abyss Submarine to teleport a few people back to Piltover, which would shorten the two-day voyage to a few minutes, which would be very fast without considering other factors such as comfort.

Tam is much more clever than Trist, and even teleportes farther than it.

For Tam the world is a river, and it is the king of the river, the ferryman.

There was no place he couldn't go, and nothing he couldn't set foot again, and moving Jeno from Bilgewater to Piltover was as easy as drinking water.

But Jeno also had his concerns:

For one, he asked Sarah to arrange for a ship to go to sea before he captured Tam , and if he took a traveling frog, it would be the same as a pigeon for Sarah.

The relationship between Jeno and Sarah is like the relationship between the true one and the messenger, and it is necessary to be true to one's words and not frivolous, and to speak in order to convince people.

Second, Sivir is very disgusted and even afraid of Tam, and if he lets Sivir enter Tam's mouth in this case, I am afraid that she will immediately blow up her hair and not agree to get into the car.

And her presence is crucial to Jeno, whether it is the Ascension Bloodline in her body or the Calikar in her hands, she will play a decisive role, she is the key to saving Piltover, a vital link.

If the car is forcibly loaded, no one knows what kind of crazy move Sivir will make, and the probability of overturning the car is greatly increased.

In this case, it is naturally safer to take a boat.

Third, when using the Abyss Submarine to reach Piltover, it was difficult for Geno to guarantee that Zelas would not be aware of the fleeting fluctuation of magic.

After all, this level of magic, when Jeno enters Tamu's mouth and asks the latter to launch an abyssal dive, its magic fluctuations radiate on Jeno's body, but it can make him have a strong stress response such as directly spitting acid water.

The fluctuation of its magic can be imagined, and Zelas is extremely sensitive to energy, so it is difficult to guarantee that a few people will be able to smuggle under its nose.

The closer you get to Piltover, you can feel the sea breeze become biting, as if something has absorbed all the warmth of the sun.

Although the winter solstice is approaching, Piltover's usual day is not so cold.

Approaching the high seas of Piltover, Niko called Jeno out of the captain's quarters.

"Jeno, Sister Caitlyn is calling you out."

"Just come."

Jeno put down his pencil, pushed open the door and walked to the deck, the moment the door opened, he subconsciously half-squinted, because the light outside was a little bright.

He glanced at the time, and it was approaching dusk, but it was like day.

This is...... Doesn't the sun set?

The light is so intense, but the temperature is cold, making people feel like they are in the polar day of the North Pole, bright and cold.

"Jeno, come and see."

Jeno saw Catelyn standing on the deck with a sniper scope aimed in the direction of Peel City, and seemed to have noticed something, so he quickly leaned in.

"What do you see that luminous object in the sky above Piltover? Don't look straight and be careful of hurting your eyes. ”

Following the direction of Caitlyn's gun, Jeno found the reason for turning his surroundings from dusk to day.

A light source, silently suspended above Piltover, kept emitting a strong and cold white light, as dazzling as the light of billions of stars, and if you stayed in it for more than a second, your eyes would burn.

"What a strong magical glow."

His chest twitched slightly, and Hex's energy covered Jeno's eyeballs, making his eyes blue, and after blocking out the effects of light, Jeno could see what was at the core of the light source.

A humanoid energy body, bound by iron chains, contains unimaginable energy in its body, and the dazzling white light is only the radiation generated by the excessive enrichment of energy in its body.

There is no doubt that the energy body that is in the sky is the ancient witch spirit who has taken the Hex energy of the whole city as his own, Zelas.

While Jeno was trying his best to increase his strength and cultivate his wings, Zelas did not stand still, but used this ladder of progress to raise his strength to a new height.

"Are we going to go ashore directly at the port of Piltover?"

The icy sea breeze blew, and Caitlyn exhaled a white breath, and she lowered her hat to keep her eyes from being exposed to the harsh light.

"No, we'll go ashore in the dark harbor of Zaun and join Ezreal and the others first."

Zelas stood there, the sun eclipsed by comparison, and it was not something that could be confronted head-on by just a few of them.

At a thought, the east wind turned to the north wind, and the sailboat turned around and sailed towards the shadows under the cliff.

Since the tide had not receded, Jeno and the others had to wait a little longer before they could set foot on land when the sun had set and the dock was completely exposed from the sea.

The wharf at low tide was wet, full of puddles and silt, and there were palm-sized red crabs among them.

When Jeno saw that the traces of the last time Nasus and Taliyah beat his brother, they were still there, and had not been washed away by the sea, and he knew that it had been unattended for days.

"Come down."

Jeno jumped on the dock first, reached out to catch Neeko, and Caitlyn landed.

Sivir wanted to meet Taliyah and take her out of Zaun for Shurima, so he disembarked with Jeno.

When Jeno walked to the mouth of the cave, he suddenly stopped.

"Why don't you leave?" Sivir asked.

"The cave is sealed with a valve and has to be opened from the inside."

In front of Jeno stood a thick steel valve, with traces of repair, the valve sealed the cave, and behind this valve was the underground city of Zun, which contained the people he had been thinking about day and night.

If it weren't for the fear that the sea water would flood Zuan at high tide, Jeno would have broken the valve a long time ago.

"Jana."

When Jeno had just called for Jana to go in first to ventilate the news to the people inside, the valve suddenly opened on its own......
