Chapter 31: The Night of the Soul Eclipse, the Scent of Conspiracy
Legend has it that every once in a while, the Isle of Shadows will launch an invasion of Bilgewater's docks, harvesting innocent souls with countless smirking undead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info It will be a pitch-black night accompanied by a black fog, which is often referred to as the Night of the Eclipse.
All people's souls may become the freshest fodder for the Shadow Isle on this day.
Not long before Xiao Yue and the others stepped into the Shadow Island, the Night of the Eclipse had just attacked Bilgewater. And today, the Night of Soul Eclipse came back to that dock, just when everyone thought it was gone.
Except for Aloy, I'm afraid no one thought that the black fog would strike again in such a short period of time.
The reason why the black fog hit is very simple, the last night of the Soul Eclipse, Billgewater happened to fall into chaos because of Planck's "death", allowing the Night of the Soul Eater to absorb enough souls.
It's satisfying.
For this kind of evil force, the only way to escape its control is to cut off its outstretched black hand, otherwise all that awaits you is endless darkness and erosion.
The wolf's stomach will never be full, and concessions and concessions will only make its stomach more hungry.
Rohr is an unbeliever, and in his naΓ―ve belief that since the Night of Soul Eclipse has arrived not long ago, it will not come in a short time, and they should hurry up and resume their work.
As for that what sacrifice Aloy? Who cares what that nervous guy says?
But he forgot that it might take some time for wolves to digest their food, and that the undead of Shadow Isle were not so troublesome in harvesting souls, and that Rohr had been dealing with the ocean all his life, and he understood that the calmer the current, the more likely it was to hide the most terrible whirlpools, and the drowning souls had been lonely at the bottom of the ocean waiting for the new dead.
But today, the breath of death came from the black mist drifting in the distance, from the Isle of Shadows.
So he died, and Bilgewater died another sailor with a lot of experience.
The black air swelled and took away his soul, and the laughter of resentment echoed across the piers of Bilgewater, and flocks of crows hovered over Bilgewater, but they themselves soon became sacrifices to the black mist.
"I didn't expect that we would use this method to return to the Rune Continent, accompanied by the deadliest black fog in Bilgewater," Xiao Yue and the people of Noxus walked through the black fog together, looking around curiously.
The black mist of the Shadow Island harvests the souls of all living beings, but they turn a blind eye to Xiao Yue and the others who are traveling in the black mist, and Noxus directs some of the potions sent to them, so that they can perfectly blend into the black fog of the Soul Eclipse Night.
"This is the quickest and easiest way," Ronnie casually played with the witchcraft in her hands, her blonde hair fluttering, "It's a pity that I don't like it here, the dark forces here are too exclusive, and they instinctively reject my witchcraft, maybe except for the Holy Light magic or something, most magic can't work properly here." β
No mage likes to be unable to perform at their best, and no mage likes to face so-called geniuses who prevent them from having perfect control over their powers.
Xiao Yue followed everyone forward in the black mist, and the souls of the dead had turned into the purest spirit, constantly drifting by their side.
The black fog of the Isle of Shadows feeds on fear and uses hope as bait.
Even if he was in the black fog and was not noticed by the black fog, Xiao Yue seemed to see the shadow of Shuang'er, saw a lot of people he cared about, saw a lot of people he once wanted to save, but couldn't do anything about it, and even saw a lot of souls who died under his hands.
But no one in the Noxus Emissary Corps will be confused by the illusion in front of them, for them, it is their belief to carry out orders, obey the rules, and become strong, and the so-called temptation is just illusory.
From time to time, Xiao Yue saw souls floating past him, because these souls were so fragile that even Xiao Yue, who didn't study much about souls, could understand their past.
The black fog continued to spread towards the docks of Bilgewater, and with despair and darkness, Xiao Yue and his party slowly advanced.
"The giants of Shadow Island didn't seem to follow the Black Mist to the docks in Bilgewater," Xiao Yue looked around and shook his head, "I thought they would join in the fun." β
"They are not the same as the undead of the Night of Soul Eclipse, they are much more intelligent," Esfil shook his head, "According to the information I have gathered, most of the Shadow Island giants were harmed during the last Night of Soul Eclipse, and Lucian, Aloy, and Miss Doom were very active and gave them a head start. β
This time the erosion of the Shadow Island is destined to be lost, and the giants of the Shadow Island will naturally not join in the fun.
"And what about Planck, what about him?" Xiao Yue asked curiously.
Just before the Night of the Eclipse arrived, Planck was trying the thieves who had broken into his territory, the card master Trist, and the outlaws, when he was plotted by Miss Doom and was bombarded to the ground, and his power in Bilgewater was uprooted by Miss Doom's men, and it seemed that it would be wiped out.
But Planck, as an epic boss, a boss who has been rampant in Bilgewater for many years, no one thought he would die so easily.
Without his body, no one dares to assert that he has gone to hell.
"It's not clear, no one knows where Planck has gone, whether he's dead or alive," Esfil said he didn't know, "but from the information we have, even if he is alive, I'm afraid he has suffered a lot of injuries, otherwise there is no reason why he has not shown up for so long." β
The pirates of Bilgewater are a mob bloodier than sharks, and if Planck is badly wounded, the most terrifying killing intent often comes not from his enemies, but from his cronies.
Planck has cronies, but there shouldn't be many.
While everyone was pulling around, the darkness swept them across the sea and rushed towards the land, this time the black fog did not gain much, without the participation of the giants of the Shadow Island, and the opponent was an opponent who had just experienced a soul erosion liquid, they deserved to be unable to get any benefit.
There are not many idiots like Rohr, and not many people fully believe in the sea beast's sacrifice to Aloy, but not many people are willing to joke with their lives.
The lights went out completely, but more and more warriors stood up.
The darkness of death brought the undead out of his claws and returned to Bilgewater, which easily tore apart the moored ships, but unleashed a great amount of holy light, a gift that Aloy had prepared for them. The undead in the black mist rushed out, and the cold claws rushed towards the guarding warriors, but they could only meet the oncoming axe.
The Noxians didn't have the slightest intention of helping, they quietly bypassed the guards and sneaked into the interior of Bilgewater, they didn't need to waste their time here, they didn't receive orders to guard the place.
"By the way, there's something I've always wanted to tell you," just as everyone was about to break up, Eric suddenly pulled Xiao Yue to a secluded and uninhabited corner, and whispered, "I have become an undead machine, can you not tell others?" β
"Well," Xiao Yue paused for a moment, "Why?" β
"My wife still doesn't know I'm dead, and I don't want her to be sad," Eric shook his head, "That girl is a dead eye, and if she knew about her death, she would definitely kill herself." β
Uh, what a strong woman.
Xiao Yue blinked, "But aren't you an undead machine now?" β
"Then she's going to ask to be an undead machine, I can't know her better," Eric shook his head again, "It's not a wonderful thing to be an undead machine, I don't want her to be as miserable as I am,"
"Well, I understand," Xiao Yue nodded.
"By the way, one more thing,"
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, you're a drinker, aren't you?" Eric rubbed his hands, "I didn't point it out just now for your sake, in fact, you don't have to hide it, as long as it's the smell of alcohol, even if you steal it in your personal space, I can smell it, you see, can you-"
"This!" Xiao Yue was speechless.
"Sure enough," said Eric's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Then Xiao Yue almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, feelings, you were lying to me just now!
β¦β¦
After entering Bilgewater, everyone dispersed, Esfil, Errot, as the descendant of the strategist commander, naturally left with most of the warriors, they would use some space to teleport, directly back to Noxus, and Xiao Yue and Ronnie together, twisted into the dark alleyways of Bilgewater.
Although Xiao Yue didn't see anything, Ronnie swore that it was full of marks left by their Noxian Wizarding Guild.
Soon Xiao Yue believed Ronnie's words, because a person appeared in front of him, a mysterious person who completely hid himself in a black robe.
Trickery Enchantress, there is no one else in this dress except her, no matter how well she hides it, Xiao Yue can smell the special smell emanating from her.
The smell of conspiracy.
