Chapter 434: Half a Grimace
"Why do you want me to go to the Shadow Island to help him, I only have a relationship with him."
When he heard the news, Jeno didn't feel terrified, more just puzzled.
After the trial, he was stronger, and he had the seed of life in his body, he was not afraid of the undead, but he also had an understanding of these dead things far beyond the outside world.
It's like having a paladin farm Necro monsters, and this paladin has a very rich and well-targeted strategy that will only be exciting or boring.
"That's for you...... Is there some kind of shady deal between you? Sarah raised an eyebrow at Jeno, as if she wanted to get a piece of the action, even though she didn't know what was traded between them.
"What's the deal...... Jeno shook his head, but suddenly remembered that he had given him a bottle of Fountain of Life that Sivir had given him, and he hoped to help him with revenge.
At that time, he thought that there was more spring water in Sivir's water bladder, and he also admired Lucian as a man, and gave it to Lucian without cherishing it much in the spirit of a heroic sympathy.
And he didn't think much about it afterwards, because he thought that Sivir might be angry when he found out what he did, and Lucian was also dead, so he let himself try to forget about it, knowing that the rest of the spring would be consumed in the war with Zelas.
If there was still spring water, he wouldn't have had to use that way to Sarah, he felt that Sarah relied on him because of this, and kept hinting at him, so that he always had the feeling that he was taken advantage of and ate tofu, although this tofu tasted very good.
"Is there really not? Your expression has betrayed you, but I won't ask if you don't want to say it, so what...... Will you go to Shadow Isle? ”
Sarah asks Jeno, seemingly interested in his decision, which Jeno doesn't give right away.
"I should contact him with a communicator first, and let him talk to me in person, I can help, but I won't go without knowing it."
"Also, I didn't use the communicator much, and I forgot that it had this function. But be prepared to call and no one answers, as Lucian hangs up and speaks intermittently. ”
With that, Sarah tossed the communicator to Jeno. As he took the communicator, Jeno's hand trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.
Because he had never forgotten where Sarah had put this thing, it seemed that the communicator still smelled like nothing......
Jeno was apprehensive, and skillfully dialed Lucian's communicator.
He and Sarah both watched with bated breath at the slight glow of the communicator, and their mood gradually changed from apprehension to anxiety, from anxiety to restlessness, and from anxiety to disappointment.
"I'm not going to be late...... I'm going to be late," Jano muttered.
But just as he was about to stop dialing out in disappointment, the communicator suddenly turned on.
He and Sarah exchanged a glance in understanding, and then they all landed on the communicator's crystal screen.
The screen was pitch black, and no one was in sight, but the darkness had a fluid texture, different shades of visual effects, so Jeno concluded that the wielder was now wrapped in a black mist.
Then there was a cold greeting from it, cold to the bone, like the whispers of the dead, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.
"Are you...... Who? ”
Although the sound was very wrong, the magnetism in it made Jeno confirm that it was Lucian's voice and not Hammerstone's.
Because Hammerstone's high-pitched voice was so iconic that it only took one word to recognize it as the warden's cruel voice.
"It's me, Jeno. I heard you need help, can you tell me what's going on? Jeno said loudly, for he heard the sound of the light bursting through the air and the miserable howl of the undead before they vanished, and he was afraid that these voices would drown out his voice.
The voice on the other end of the "Jeno ......" communicator had some mood swings, and Lucian's cold voice was a little more angry.
"Huh?" Then Jeno heard intermittent gasps, and wondered if the communicator was disturbed by some kind of magical artifact on the Shadow Island, or simply the black fog, which seemed to be intermittent.
"Come on! Help...... No...... Save me! Only you...... to be able to ......"
A dazzling bolt of holy light pierced the sky, making the scene in the crystal screen suddenly brighten, and then half of a terrifying and terrifying grimace suddenly appeared on the screen, startling the two of them.
The communicator was not frightened out of his hand, but in the blink of an eye, the grimace that suddenly flashed disappeared with a flash screen of the communicator.
"This ...... The signal over there is broken. Jeno looked up and looked bitterly at Sarah, who was a little relieved by the fright, and was holding his heart and gasping for breath, as if he had just had a nightmare.
"Do you see that?" Sarah asked, pressed her temples as if she had a splitting headache.
"Well, see clearly, a rotten, scarred face. But...... It's kind of familiar......" Jeno said uncertainly, because the moment the grimace appeared and disappeared so quickly that there might not be a frame.
"You think so, too? That half of the grimace resembles ......" Sarah thought of someone, but she wasn't too sure to say it.
"Lucian?"
"Yes, Lucian......"
The room fell silent suddenly, and each of them looked down and thought about something...... After a long time, the silence was broken by Jeno first.
"Have you ever thought that Lucian has been on the Shadow Isle for more than a month, and the food he can bring with him is definitely not enough for him to last so long. What's even more terrifying is that the living creatures on the island are only insignificant insects, and even the water is polluted, but he has survived to this ......"
"Hiss......" Thinking about it in horror, Sarah couldn't help but shudder.
Then Jeno added: "Something terrible must have happened to Lucian, the truth is hidden in the black fog, I think I have to go to the Shadow Isle, he seems to need me very much." ”
"Aren't you afraid it's a trap?" Sarah asked.
"It's not a big problem." Jeno said in a distracted voice, as some of his thoughts seemed perfunctory.
"Then I'm going too." Sarah said suddenly.
"Then it's a big problem, you're injured, don't you stay in Bilgewater to recuperate, and go to the Shadow Isle to die?" Jeno asked very politely.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I see that you are not afraid at all, there must be some means to return safely, right? And Lucian's previous statement that he wanted someone to bring back his two guns is not groundless, if something really happens to him, these two guns will be mine. ”
