Chapter 16: Salem Prison
While Yasuo set off for Shurima alone, the Zai side had already quickened the pace of the war.
However, on the side of the Ionian government army, they were still not ready for battle, on the one hand, because Elder Ukan had taken control of the council, and Zelos and Karma had been demoted and had no right to command the army; On the other hand, Ionia was also on the lookout for coming
"Aid" of the Noxus troops. Therefore, for the sake of stability, Elder Ukan ordered the non-urban areas of Ionian territory to be ceded and the troops were sent to defend the urban areas.
In order to smoothly open the road into the city, Varus turned into a merchant and forced his way into the official road, but he didn't know that he was also targeted by Caterina's people.
Varus's purpose is not only to infiltrate the city of Ionia, which is already under martial law, but also to find the humanoid monsters of Ionia
"Golden Devil" - Drama Master Ember. A long time ago, when the bitter masters of the Equilibrium Sect were still alive.
The Golden Goblin was once a notorious monster in Ionia, and legend has it that this monster haunted the mountains of the Ionian province of Zhiyun, killing the caravan that passed through Zhiyun, as well as farmers and merchants, leaving only twisted and broken corpses.
Takuro, the governor of Shiyun at the time, sent many samurai and swordsmen to hunt down the Golden Devil, but there was no progress.
Later, in desperation, Tuoliu sent an envoy to ask the bitter master of the Equilibrium Sect to come out of the mountain, but he was refused.
Later, Master Kushu led his two disciples, Shen Hejie (that is, the name before the robbery), to enter Zhiyun as merchants to investigate the Golden Demon.
This investigation is four years, and this incident has completely changed the lives of three people. The Ring also questioned his beliefs, which paved the way for him to become a Shadow Ninja in the future.
All in all, the last three people found the Golden Devil, and this so-called monster is just a staff member of a theater troupe, a man with a unique obsession with killing.
The man's name was Kadaash, and he was certainly no match for the three. At that time, he took the lead in grabbing the bloodstained embers, and angrily trampled on it and tried to kill him, but was stopped by the master.
The Master of Bitterness decided to give the man a chance to live, and Ember was later sent to Salem Prison by the Ionian Supreme Court.
During the Second Rune War, Ember was secretly released by the family group of one of the Elder of Ionia, who intended to use Ember as their weapon to try to control Ionia's power, but later the members of the Elder's family were imprisoned by Karma for treason, and Ember was introduced to League of Legends by Karma.
But Ember is only fanatical in his pursuit of his own
"Art" so he is not imposing mental imprisonment. Now all Varus has to do is find this dangerous figure.
The Ionian military still hasn't sent a Drama Master to fight the Shadowstream army, so Sindra believes that Ember is not controlled by the Ionian military, and that Varus's task is to find a way to find Ember and convince him to fight for himself, and if Ember doesn't agree, then Varus will send him on his way.
After entering the city, Varus first went to Salem Prison to find out what happened to Ember after he was released from prison, because Ember was still living in Ionia during his service in League of Legends, so Varus hoped to find any clues here.
When Varus arrived outside the prison, it was already late at night, and he looked at the towering walls around the prison and was about to give the order for his followers to sneak in, when suddenly a flock of night crows flew into the sky in the distance, accompanied by the sound of wings fluttering.
Varus looked at the night sky and gently told his entourage, "We're being followed. He pointed in the direction of the night crow flying in the distance and said, "The person who is following us must be over there." ”
"What then, my lord? Are we still going to dive in? One of the fighters asked. Varus thought for a moment and said, "We can't give up halfway now that we're here, let's divide our troops into two ways, one team stays to continue the mission, and the other team goes in the other direction to divert the people who are following us." The soldier asked, "But they can also see that we have split the team in two." Varus smiled meaningfully and said nothing, turning his bow back behind him.
The hands released a purple light, and under the illumination of the light, many whirlpools appeared on the ground, and the surrounding grass and trees withered, and Varus released a powerful corrupt energy, enveloping half of the people present in it and being swallowed directly by the whirlpool.
Varus said to the rest, "Go to the Ionian Supreme Court at once, find an inn there and stand by, and help us get the stalkers there." With that, Varus jumped into the whirlpool.
Due to the darkness he was in, Varus's hand went completely unnoticed by Katerina.
After the rest of the group left, Caterina followed with the crowd. After Caterina left, a black vortex appeared in the original land, and Varus and his party reappeared from the vortex.
He also saw who was following them, and Varus looked in the direction Caterina had left without speaking.
Instead, he turned around and ordered: "It's okay now, go in, and be sure to complete the task before dawn." ”
