Chapter 200: The Legend of the Ruined King (8/8, Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Facing Rhodes and feeling the heat of Safron's flames, Huck trembled.
"I am an ancient nobleman - and the bloodline of the ancient king, my family history records the creation process of the Shadow Island, and the method of lifting the curse of the Ruined King, I can help you dispel the curse of the Shadow Island!"
In order to survive, Huck prostrated at Rod's feet, swearing that he knew the history of Shadow Island, knew the curse of Shadow Island, and knew how to crack the curse of the Ruined King - how much of this was true and how much was fake Rhodes is unknown, but what is certain is that this guy definitely knows something.
"Talk about it, don't hide it – your words will determine whether you live or not."
Huck knew his situation very well, and instead of bargaining, he directly began to tell the legend about the ruined king.
……………………
Like many myths and legends, the story takes place a long, long time ago.
At that time, Valoran did not have Demacia, nor Noxus, rune wars had not broken out, and ancient magic flourished.
At that time, the name of Shadow Island was still Fuguang Island.
The story begins in the Lost Realm – an ancient country whose name has been buried in history – and begins with Hekarim and Calista.
At that time, Hecarim was still the deputy of the Iron Regiment, and Calista was still the general of the country at that time.
The prologue to all this was the ascension of Hekarim.
As a young man, Hecarim had an almost fanatical quest for fame and status, and the leader of the Iron Order discovered this pathological desire in his heart - but, like many pedantic people, he told Hecarim about it, claiming that in this way, Hecarim would not be able to become the successor of the Iron Order.
At that time, although the rune war had not begun, it had already had a premonition, in a small conflict, the command was disconnected from the brigade, and at the critical moment, Hekarim sat and watched the regimental commander die alone in the chaos, and then logically inherited the Iron Regiment.
And that's not the end of Hecarim's ambitions.
Standing in the position of the head of the Iron Regiment, Hekarim saw more—as his ambitions grew, he discovered his new goal, the Grand General Calista.
Soon, the opportunity reappeared in front of Hecarim.
During an assassination attempt against the King, the Queen was mortally wounded - although the Assassin was killed on the spot, the Queen's arm was slashed by the poisoned blade of Calista's spear, and the poison began to eat away at her body.
The country's famous doctors were helpless, and Calista, in order to make up for it, chose to go out to find a way, and handed over the burden of guarding to Hecarim.
Hecarim seized the opportunity once more, and took advantage of the king's irritability and anguish because of his excessive sadness, and took control of the whole country at all times, and went on a killing spree at the slightest dissuasion.
On the other hand, Callista, who has traveled the world, finally discovers the legendary island of Fuko, where the mages master subtle magic and magical life essences that may be able to remove the queen's poison.
The upright Calista is recognized by the mage of Fukuko Island and understands the method of entering Fukuko Island.
By the time Calista returned with news of Fuguang Island, it was too late - the queen had died, and the king had fallen into madness.
The mad king locked the bodies of himself and his queen to the tower, and when he learned of Callista's return, he immediately demanded that she report his findings.
Callista had a heavy heart, she had never broken her oath of allegiance to the king, but she remembered the warning of the islanders, and knew that it was useless to return to Fuguang Island with the dead body, so she could only refuse to answer and chose to keep Fukuko Island a secret.
The king, who did not get the results she wanted, declared her guilty of deceit and threw her into prison until she repented.
After Callista was imprisoned, Hekarim persuaded her to report the truth to the king, which would help him mourn the king's day, and if he could not resurrect the queen, let him accept the queen's death, and allow the dead to be buried on Fuguang Island.
Hecarim swore that the cooperation between the two would ease the king's madness and bring him back to his senses without causing more damage.
Callista hesitated—she sensed something was wrong with Hecarim's proposal, but with nothing else she could do, she agreed.
In this way, the king commanded his own fleet and came to Fukumitsu Island with the soldiers of the whole country, and with the help of Calista, he crossed the guard barrier and landed on the island.
Faced with the queen's corpse, the mage elders of Fukukoshima rejected the king's request - the resurrection of the dead was originally taboo, and magic should not violate the rules of the world.
Annoyed by the refusal, the king demanded that Calista kill the old immortal, but Calista again refused.
At that moment, Hekarim pierced Calista's body from behind with his sharp blade, and then began to charge with the Iron Regiment.
At this time, the Guardian Battle Mage who focused on the battle had already sensed the smell of rune war, and they took their apprentices to protect the world runes, and the defense on Fuguang Island was extremely weak - I thought that guarding the barrier could protect the safety of Fuguang Island, but I didn't expect to suffer this kind of calamity.
The killing began.
Most of the people left on Fukuguang Island were research mages, they were knowledgeable but lacked combat effectiveness, and they were directly trampled under the charge of the Iron Regiment - and even more terrifyingly, the original exhibit keeper Hammerstone also betrayed Fukuguang Island, he not only came into contact with all defenses, but also brought the king to the core of Fukuguang Island, to the spring of the essence of life.
The king threw the queen's body into the spring, only to be resurrected by a walking corpse.
Seeing that the king who loved such a lover finally collapsed - he chose to obey the queen's request and put an end to the queen with his own hands.
The Ruined King, who had lost everything, watched the sins he had committed along the way, looked at the corpse of the great general he once trusted the most, and finally regretted it.
The Agony King cursed himself to atone for his sins—but in a place like Fuguang Island, where there were countless amplification circles, the curse was infinitely amplified.
The curse of the Ruined King has finally arrived.
Since then, there has been no more Blessed Light Island in the world, but instead there is a dead silence of the undead - the Shadow Island.
And this lost country also provoked aggression because of the foolishness of the king to take all the soldiers, and this war of aggression became the fuse for another rune war.
When the war ended, the former country was completely gone—leaving only the legend of the Shadow Isle to live on in a small area.
