In the year 21 of the Noxian calendar, on the Sea of the Watchmen, a merchant ship loaded with Ionian cargo was sailing westward through the waves.

The merchant ship of Shurima is a typical three-masted sailing ship, the hull of the ship is made of Shurima elm, and the statue of the goddess at the bow is carved from the Ionian specialty red nanmu, which is extremely resistant to decay in the case of wind, sun and rain.

Unlike when it came, this departure from Ionia Les did not need to consider the ship of Shia, the Shurima merchant ship departing from Lin Yin would go all the way west, docking at the Dragon Gate of the Valoran continent, and after trading supplies, the ship would follow the southeast coast of the Valoran continent all the way south, until it crossed the Isthmus of Zaun, and arrived at Nash Lame on the northern shore of the Shurima continent.

It takes about ten months to sail along the way, and it takes about two years to go to sea for a round trip, and for Lyster, it only takes four months to take Xia to disembark at the Dragon Gate, so that Xia can change into a dragon body and fly back to the Emerald Collar quickly.

"Come to Hit! Come to Hit! Fish Fish! Big fish fish squirting water! Look! Want to check it out! ”

Holding the man's hand tightly, Xia pointed to the blue whale that was ventilating not far away with a look of surprise, and instantly turned into a curious baby.

Xia, who was a head taller than herself, tightly clamped her arm with her twin peaks, and Lyster touched the big girl's head with her backhand, making Xia show a silly and simple smile.

looks tall and glamorous, but she talks and acts like a little doll that doesn't grow up.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

"Yay! Come to Hit, it's good to fall~"

"It's Lyist, not Lycht......"

"Coming to Hit~Coming to Hit~mua~"

Wiping the watermark left on his cheek, Lyist smiled bitterly.

Before he obtained the ability to change shapes, Lyster had long known that Thea's age was actually not very old, and from her daily actions, she looked like a little girl who was ignorant of the world, but he still didn't expect that Thea's mind that had transformed into a human form was actually less than eight years old, and she looked very curious about everything.

After watching the blue whale with Xia for a while, Lyster briefly explained to Xia the difference between marine animals and terrestrial creatures, but heard Xia ask: "Come to Xit, can we kiss in the sea?" ”

"You mean, let's go to the sea...... Kiss? ”

The man's expression was a little strange.

"Uh-huh! Sia wants to kiss Lycht! ”

As she spoke, she was about to pout her ass skillfully, but fortunately she was stopped by Lyster in time, leaving the sailors and crew on the surrounding decks with a look of regret.

There is a long way to go to teach the common sense of human life in Sia.

"It's not impossible, it's just that now is not the time...... Thea, if someone else came to you for a kiss, would you say yes? ”

After thinking about it seriously, Xia shook her head: "I only kiss with Lycht!" ”

"What if someone else has to kiss Thea? Even threaten you with me? ”

Frowning, Xia clenched her fists, and her face became a little serious, even a little terrifying: "Then Xia will eat him!" Lycht is very powerful, no one can be better than Lycht! Thea only listened to Hit! ”

Lyster breathed a sigh of relief, now it seems that it is a little simpler, at least it will not be so stupid that Xia will be deceived by other people and put on a show 'Thea, you don't want to come to Esther to know what you have done, right?' This kind of bloody plot.

In addition to studying natural magic, Lyster, who acts in the form of Vastaya, has been teaching Xia the basic common sense of life, including the clothes he doesn't like to wear must be worn at all times, and he can't expose his body to other people's eyes, or don't listen to other people's words and know how to protect himself.

Xia learns with relish, the big girl is not stupid, and Lyster will not tease people, one learns hard, the other is willing to teach, and it is naturally easy to learn and understand, but the nature of being a dragon still makes Thea a little unsuitable for the human form, and often damages the things on the ship due to the wrong mastery of strength, and the accent can't be changed for a while, and Lyster can only temporarily accept his new name 'Lychite'.

On this night, after a rare calm and calm day, Lyist refused to ask for pleasure, and after comforting Xia who wanted to kiss and hug in another way, he went to the deck of the bow of the ship alone, leaning against the statue of the ship and blowing the sea breeze.

It's getting farther and farther away from Ionia, and the layout in Omikayalanli has just begun, and this time there are giveaways and gains, and in general, the five years have not been completely wasted, but I don't know what the development of the Emerald Collar has become now.

The gaze was on the statue of the goddess of Hongnanmu on his side, the carving technique was very delicate, but the facial features were not too similar, it could only be said that it was the style of Shurima woman, but the pointed elf long ears had already said it all, and Lyster knew that there were some Shurima ships that believed in Jana, and this ship was obviously one of them.

According to rumors, Cana is the embodiment of the Wind Elf, and often turns into a blue bird to help ships in need, this time I thought I could turn Cana back to the Emerald Collar, but I didn't expect to lose contact in the Enchanted Garden, and I still don't know if Cana left on her own or for some other reason.

Caressing the statue of the goddess, Lyist sighed.

Having lost contact with Cana, Emerald Leader's god-making plan had to be postponed.

"La~lala~lala~"

The sea fog rises from the sea level, and the clouds cover the bright moon, making the view darken in an instant.

"La~lala~lala~"

The ethereal voice flickered far and near, listening carefully, and in the echo there was also the whisper of the soul,

Lyster looked at the crew behind him, and found that the crew seemed to be only a little puzzled by the sudden vision of the sea and the sky, and did not hear a chilling humming sound.

"Come to me."

Whispering into the air, Lyist walked to the cabin and returned to his room.

Closing the door, a masked phantom gradually solidified, and before he could stand firmly, he was picked up by the man and hugged him tightly in his arms.

The sheep's body first tightened, and then slowly relaxed, allowing the man to hug him, after all, he avoided the wolf's eyes and came to find it for, he knew best.

"Why did it take so long to come to me?"

"The masked spirit has a job to do, and time means nothing to the masked spirit."

Comprehending the meaning of the sheep's words, Lyster smiled, lifted the sheep up, stared at the faint blue light under the mask for a moment, and suddenly lowered his head and sniffed the strange floral fragrance emanating from the sheep's cheeks.

"So, little sheep, I have to thank you for not coming to me before I died?"

"This is the smell of Nether Flowers, it's very fragrant."

Faced with the sheep that answered the question, Lyster had no intention of dwelling on, and when he came to the bedside, the man put the sheep directly on the bed.

"It's really fragrant, I like the smell of you, and I'm sure you're ready."

Staring at the man, the sheep sighed softly.

"Lyist, you shouldn't be such a rush person, you seem to have something less than before."

"Little lamb, I'm not a human, I'm a wolf."

Pointing to his wolf ear, Lyster put his hand on the edge of the sheep's mask and whispered in a dangerous tone.

"The Vastaya form makes me understand that you attract me because you have what I need, lamb, can I take it off?"

The sheep who let the man do what he did keep his composure, but his mouth uttered a terrifying word: "If you take off your mask, I will die." ”

After a pause, Lyist shook his head amusedly, withdrew his right hand that was touching the mask, and leaned down.

"I don't want you to die, that's it, I don't mind what you look like, I just want you."

A soundproof magic enchantment covers the small room.

Facing the man's wolf-like eyes, the sheep's breathing finally could not continue to remain calm, and after the sound of rustling passed, the sheep closed its eyes and covered its mouth tightly in the storm.

"Little lamb, who is stronger than me and the other wolf?"

Sadly, the sheep at this moment are not able to make a second sound.

At the same time, in the land of Demacia, the wolf who was chasing and killing the half-dead was a little panicked, and he couldn't help but stop and let out a mournful wolf howl.

"Whew!"

……

After scoring four times and communicating head to end, Lyster, who was holding the tired lamb in his arms, asked the sheep about the underworld.

"If you're not in a hurry, can you tell me about the underworld?"

It was a life reborn in the Netherworld, and there was too much contact with the Netherworld, and the sheep had long been accustomed to the cold world, and after tossing for a long time, the sheep was afraid to find that she had actually found back a part of the warm feeling she once had, which made her very obsessed.

If before this, the world was just a cold gray, but now the world has a little more color and warmth that belongs to the world.

"What can happen in the underworld."

Stretched out his hands and pushed his solid chest, the sheep wanted to push away the man who was hugging him, but found that it was not so much pushing away as he was coquettish, so he could only give up.

"Mother is still picking the right soul, the wraith is still plundering more souls, building his city of the underworld, and the masked spirit is still running around, maintaining order in the underworld and the world."

"I wonder, what does the soul of the underworld rely on to survive? And how did the Wraith form his army? What was the city built for? ”

"You've got a lot of questions."

Holding down the man's mischievous hand, the sheep whispered.

"All souls in the underworld, if they want to maintain their form from being eroded by the underworld, they can only do so at the cost of escaping their souls, unless they obtain a body to protect their souls, otherwise they can only gradually dissipate.

Wraith used the power of black sorcery and the words of the underworld for his army, using souls and underworld sand and stone as materials to create a form that can protect the soul, and the city was probably built to store more troops and make the city of the underworld a battle fortress against the erosion of the underworld...... His ambitions are bigger than you think. ”

"There's a soul well underneath the Immortal Fortress, did you know that?"

Some surprises the man can know such a secret thing, the sheep nodded.

"Of course I know, it was the underworld passage established by the wraith soul through the sacrifice of souls and the use of black magic, but unfortunately it has always been sealed by the magic protection he set up, and I and the other masked spirits can't get close to it at all."

"If I help you break the seal there, can you destroy the soul well?"

"Of course you can, but the Wraith will definitely not allow me to do this, and when the time comes, he may choose to bring the underworld army back to the material realm to protect the underworld passage, which will cause an unpredictable disaster in advance, the last time he returned to the material realm, tens of millions of people died on the Valoran continent, and Mother will definitely not allow such a thing to happen again."

"That's right."

The body regained a little strength, and the sheep finally stood up from the man's arms, and his tone became much more serious.

"Lyist, in fact, I came here this time to tell you something that you must pay attention to."

"What's the matter?"

"Mother has already set her sights on you, and originally Mother decided to let the Void Spirit Evil Owl spy on you."

After a pause, the lamb continued: "But I have taken over the custody of you from the hands of the Ethereal Spirit, Lyist, the power you have has seriously disrupted the balance of the Runeterra, although you are the chosen 'outsider' of the Runeterras, Mother will never allow you to disrupt the stability of the Runeterrae Lands at will. ”

"Don't be so serious, you're going to scare me."

Holding the lamb in his arms again, Lyster smiled.

"So, my 'mother-in-law' won't allow me to abuse my power?"

Pushing aside the soft and cold white wool, Lyist saw a stunning flush, but the next second he was pushed away by the sheep, who stood up again and took two steps back.

"Yes, Mother will never tolerate you continuing to use too much power to kill lives and rob souls, Lyster, don't make me your enemy! When the time comes, all the masked spirits, including the most terrifying ethereal spirits, will become your enemies! No matter how powerful you are, you will not be an opponent of the Ethereal Spirits, and no soul can escape the obliteration of the Ethereal Spirits, including us masked spirits. ”

"Then if someone wants to kill me, they can't let me be restrained, right? Will you protect me then? ”

Knowing that the man had listened to his words, the sheep's tone softened a little.

"I've already asked my mother about this, she allows you to use the same level of power as the enemy to protect yourself and even kill back, but your power can't be used outside of self-preservation, there is no point in cheating, all dead souls will speak in front of the mask spirit."

"If someone tries to take you away from me, do I have to sit still? I can't do that. ”

I never thought that a man would say such a thing, and the sheep was stunned before he realized the true meaning of the words.

"It's definitely not okay to ask for a mother, but ...... If it's really like you say. ”

The body of the sheep gradually melted and slowly disappeared in front of the man's eyes.

"I probably didn't see it."

The soundproof magic barrier dissipated, and calm returned to the room.

"What a gentle fellow, I like you more and more, lamb."
