Above the sea.

The sky warship swept through the sky, and the wind pressure that swept through it swept up a thousand huge waves.

Foyego held the Sword of the Broken King, his face full of resentment and impatience, and his lower body was wrapped in black mist, chasing at a slightly faster speed than the Sky Battleship.

Between chasing and escaping, the distance between him and Shadow Island is also getting closer.

"Black Mist... It's a lot thicker. ”

Seraphine frowned slightly, keenly aware that the power of the cannon was already difficult to shatter the black mist.

It's just past Sasnam, and it's still some distance from Shadow Isle.

As she had expected, the play fell into disrepair, turning from a bustling island into a vast ruin.

Rumble!!!

Behind the space warship, the black fog converged around Foyego, and under the shroud of the black fog, Foyego's speed was much faster.

But because of the intrusion of the air and space warships, more than half of the black fog that Foyego had managed to expand outwards was gone.

"Here... Is it already the limit..."

Seraphine closed her eyes slightly, her soul sense poking straight ahead, Meredith's soul scroll opening in front of her, and the pages of the book turned page by page.

Suddenly, her eyes opened suddenly, and her body trembled slightly.

"It's dangerous..."

At the moment when she had just sensed the Shadow Isle, she sensed at least 5 extremely powerful and vicious souls, and even a few of them had spotted her snooping.

If it weren't for the support of the Soul Stealing Scroll, she would have died by now.

"Britz, start the jump!" Seraphine said eagerly, "Quick! Protect the hull with full firepower, and attack the source directly ahead! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire space battleship was enveloped in a deep blue light.

Hex's main guns were all fired, and all but two were aimed at the rear, and the rest were fired to the front.

It was also at this moment that a dark green hook suddenly pierced the sky, and from the direction of the Shadow Isle, it struck at the Sky Battleship.

The beam of energy from Hex's bombardment, which had barely lasted a second in front of the hook, completely turned into flying ash.

With an unstoppable momentum, the hook continued to attack the air and space battleship.

At this moment, Lulu, who was still on the deck, suddenly shouted angrily:

"Hurry up and get bigger!"

At the same time, a huge shadow jumped out of the space battleship and crashed into the hook.

Rumble!!!

The black shadow collided with the hook, and the powerful aftermath reverberated outward, and the air and space battleship, which was preparing for the leap, was almost overturned.

It was only then that Seraphine could see that the shadow was a giant scarecrow.

She was still nervous, but she was relieved to see Federtic's move.

But before she could relax, she saw the scarecrow disappear in the blink of an eye as she pulled back along the hook.

Seeing this scene, Seraphine's eyes widened:

"Teacher, Federtic will be fine..."

"You should be concerned about the back." Grad replied unhurriedly.

Seraphine's heart sank, and she saw that in the central control screen, Foyego, who was behind the air and space battleship, jumped high, and the ruined king sword in his hand carried a dark green sword light of more than 100 meters, sinking downward.

In the face of this attack, Seraphine did not have any urgency, but began to count silently in a low voice:

“3...”

“2...”

“1...”

After the last number was spoken, the entire body of the Sky Battleship was enveloped in a deep blue light, and Foyego's sword was also lightly engulfed by the blue light.

The dark blue light flickered for only two breaths, and then dissipated.

And among them, the air and space warships have also completely disappeared.

Faced with this result, Foyego's face was slightly dumbfounded, followed by anger.

He struggled to swing the long sword in his hand, and suddenly, the waves below were surging, and dozens of meters of waves flew outward.

"Damn it, don't let me meet you!"

"Why... Why is there always someone trying to stop me from looking for Isold! ”

After venting, Foyego's eyes flashed with madness, and he suddenly galloped away in a northwesterly direction.

And this time he went out, he didn't bring any resentment at all, just one person and one sword.

At the same time, on the Shadow Island, an uninvited guest was also ushered in.

After Lulu's enlargement magic wears off, a scarecrow of the height of a normal person walks the land of Shadow Isle. Beside the scarecrow, surrounded by crows, a terrifying and dark aura burst out from his body.

In the thick black mist, the figures of resentful spirits wandered from time to time, but they all seemed to be hiding from the scarecrow, and they retreated to the sides on their own.

"It really doesn't look like a place for the living."

In the Trifali Council Chamber, after the space battleship consumes a huge amount of energy and jumps away, the image in the center turns to the perspective where Federtic is.

Although the councilors present were a little curious about how to transmit the picture, thinking about Ryan's strength, they took it for granted.

As soon as Morgana's voice fell, Vladimir smiled and answered:

"More than 1,000 years ago, Fukumitsu Island was a place full of light. It's a pity that the arrival of Foyego rewrote there. ”

"Legend has it that during the Rune War, Fuguang Island was always hidden from the war, and spent a golden age of knowledge and philosophy in peace, and also collected a large number of books and magical relics from the Runeterra."

Svein's scarlet eyes glanced back and forth, looking at the dilapidated but full of historical buildings, and said with mockery in his tone:

"It is rumored that the capital of Helia was home to the most famous mages and powerful figures of the time, but this is not true in the present day."

"A thousand years ago..."

Vladimir, one of the parties involved, fell into the memory and slowly recounted:

"At that time, Hailia was comparable to a black rose. The mages there are very strong, but it is ridiculous to say that they are developing quietly. ”

"Fuguang Island developed before the Rune War, and Fuguang Island was the most prosperous at that time." Ryan leaned back in his seat and said calmly, "On the contrary, it is the Rune War, although the war did not burn to Fuguang Island, but it was because of Fuguang Island. ”

Vladimir nodded lightly: "What His Majesty said is not wrong, it is precisely because the mages of Fuguang Island discovered the use of runes that this led to the outbreak of the rune war." ”

"Ruiz and his teacher are the ones who live in Helia." Morgana said.

"Helia's teacher also mastered the power of runes earlier." Ryan had inexplicable emotions in his voice, "But because he didn't have the will to master the runes, he gradually became addicted to the power of the runes, and was finally killed by Rhy..."

"A sad story." Morgana gave her own assessment.

In her eyes, Ryze's evaluation has become on par with Kyle's.

Righteous annihilation... It has always been a derogatory term for her.

Ryan calmly continued, "It was also after Rhyz took the runes away from Helia that the rune war entered its climax, and the powerful mages of Fuguang Island also left. ”

"But even so, it shouldn't be broken by a waste kingdom." Svein points to the crux of the problem.

The key to the destruction of Fuguang Island into the Shadow Island was the capture of it by the legions led by Foyego.

Mordecaesar could only interfere with Foyego's actions in Ochen, at most to inform the recitation of the curse of ruin, and could not interfere from the underworld at all.

Now that Shadow Isle has become what it is, it's clear that there are other reasons.

Even if the powerful mages of Fuguang Island have left a lot, they should not be captured by a second-class kingdom.

It's as ridiculous as Nouk Murch laid down Noxus during Darkwell's reign.

"For the things of that year, it is natural to ask the parties." Ryan had a smile on his lips.

He was not referring to Vladimir, who was sitting behind him, but to the figure who appeared in front of Federtic.

"Demons, demons, human souls... What a perfect idea. ”

A mournful cry echoed in the black mist, and a dark green lantern slowly loomed from the black mist.

Immediately after, a hammerstone with a lantern in one hand and a hook in the other walked out of the black mist.

"Oh? It seems that there is another incredible creation! ”

The gaze cast by the two flames of Hammerstone was fixed on Federtic's shoulder, as if there was something else there.

Suddenly, Alley popped out of there, its small body tumbling in the air, gradually condensing into Ryan's form.

"Hammerstone... The caretaker of the underground relics of Helia thousands of years ago. ”

"Truly... What an ancient name. ”

The flames in Hammerstone's eyes danced, and there seemed to be some more changes under the ghost mask.

The phantom of the World Rune floated out of Ryan's body and slowly hung above his head.

Looking at the 'witchcraft' rune, Hammerstone's eyes were a little complicated:

"You're going a lot farther than the shit."

"You're further than them, aren't you?" Ryan's voice was flat, "Victory means right, and the moment the curse of ruin erupts, it means you win." ”

"Ugly, interesting speech. Distinguished guest from Valoran, what is the value of the soul in your eyes? ”

The two who were supposed to be enemies, instead of facing each other, they chatted.

Even Congressman Chaifarly, who was in the council chamber, looked at this scene, and there was a sense of discord.

Without much thought, Ryan replied to Hammerstone's question:

"The value of the soul lies in the moment when it blooms with its brightest light, and the mediocre soul has no value."

This was his point of view as a mage, very not Demacia, but also very Noxus.

"Perfect answer." Hammerstone's poignant laugh was even more pronounced, "And what do you want from me?" Guests from afar. ”

"This sentence... It's up to me to ask. Ryan's tone was playful, "Thousands of years have passed, and you, who have endured countless slaves, believe that you should know how to grasp opportunities." ”

"It's a nasty remark. If you really want to snatch your soul, it will be beautiful. ”

Hammerstone let out a maniacal laugh that subsided after a long while.

"What I want... Very simple! And if you want it, I'll give you as much as you want! ”

The black fog swept in the sky, covering everything that was present.

And in the surging black fog, the individuals represented by Ryan and Noxus and Hammerstone also reached some consensus.

"Your Majesty, is it really credible?"

After the cooperation conversation, Morgana, who was far away in the council chamber, frowned slightly.

In her eyes, a strange existence like Hammer Stone, not even seeking skin with a tiger, is simply doing useless work.

Although, what Hammerstone asked for was what they were doing, and what Ryan wanted was nothing more than some magic books and holy relics at their fingertips.

"No one would believe in a cold-blooded viper, but no one would deny the venom of this viper." Ryan said meaningfully.

It doesn't matter if Hammerstone really works with them.

Importantly, he needs to give Hammerstone some confidence, which is not a man of peace.

Judging from what Hammerstone said at the time, Fuguang Island became Shadow Island thousands of years ago, and in addition to Mordekaiser, perhaps Hammerstone was the biggest winner.

With Maude Caesar's character, he will lay countless chess pieces, which is also something they expected.

Long before Foyego's invasion, Helia's garrison had been brought down by Hammerstone.

Foyego only had to come with Isolde's corpse and recite the Ochen incantation that could only be triggered by extreme emotions.

Hammerstone and Foyego, as Ryan expected.

It was not Mordecaesar who chose them as executors, but because of countless coincidences and opportunities, the two of them became their current identities and had the status of executors.

And as an ordinary chess piece, to say that there is no other idea is to be regarded as self-deception.

Hammerstone can choose to betray Heliya, and he is not a peaceful person.

All Noxus has to do is give it a little support.

As for what kind of flowers can bloom in the end, it is not in Ryan's consideration.

If it can be done in the end, it will be the last. Even if it fails, it can weaken a lot of the opponent's strength, and it is not a bad thing for Noxus.

Hearing Ryan's previous description, several people also understood what Ryan wanted to do.

The current situation on Shadow Island is slowly becoming clear at this stage.

Shadow Isle, Bilgewater, Ionia...

These three parties are the forces directly involved in the incident, and they face the heaviest losses, but in the eyes of the characters behind them, they are just chessboards on the surface.

Deeper, they Noxus, the Underworld Mordecaesar, the Star Spirits...

These three forces have their own needs, and even cooperate with each other and have a hostile relationship.

The corners of Ryan's mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.

Using the surroundings of Shadow Island as a medium, what kind of ending can evolve into in the end is always something worth looking forward to.

For now, Noxus's needs have been largely met.

What the Star Spirit needs should be to use the Shadow Island to weaken the power of the Runeterra, and at the same time, eliminate Atridus's hatred of the Star Spirit, and finally become a member of the Star Spirit.

Mordekaiser's side, on the contrary, is the easiest. Having integrated the forces of the underworld, he is estimated to be impatient now.

Imagine the Chinese network

Runeterra, as the place where he was once born and valued, how could he not want to come again, or even rule here.

In comparison, what Noxus asks for is much simpler.

As long as the other two fail, then Noxus has succeeded.
