Chapter515 The tentacles of the Shadow Isle
The final battle still did not break out after all, Rest and Tours successfully came from the temple to the library located in the east under the guidance of Edgar, the dark wizard Austin and the undead legion Nether Assassin Bennett had already left for a long time, losing the blessing of the Stygian Beacon, and the black fog covering the sky began to retreat, making Turce, who was holding the Bright Disc and preparing to cast a spell to dispel the black fog, a little embarrassed.
"They're gone, and they've taken with them what made the black fog."
The dozen books that were taken away, the wooden chairs that were slightly opened, the windows that were opened, and the environment that kept them holy and clean, completely different from the village of Nascot, which had been reduced to hell,
After gathering enough information elements, Lyist sat on the wooden chair in front of the book, closed his eyes, and empathized with Austin, who had left, simulating Austin's emotions and thoughts in his brain:
"The location of Nascott Village is biased to the southwest, if it is really through something to control the black fog, choosing this place as a stronghold can more efficiently spread the black fog to the villages of Wollaston and Gardner, in this invasion, they are not only going to harvest human flesh to make puppet shells, but also take a large number of souls through the black fog......
Doing such a thing as plundering souls in Qianjue's temple is full of blasphemy and contempt, and it can be seen that the guys in the temple have a lot of grievances with Qianjue, which is some kind of limited revenge.
The reason why I say that there is a limit is probably because the behind-the-scenes manipulators like to read, which is also the reason why there are many books in the library that have traces of reading, and there are many fewer books.
This person who likes to read is unwilling to mess up the temple and stacks with books by those butchers, so it can be inferred that in addition to the assassin watching the battle, there is also a scholar or mage who controls the black fog here, and in the presence of such beings, even the powerful abomination butcher is just some kind of consumable,
I have reason to believe that they are loyal to the tyrants of the underworld, and these souls carried away by the black fog will be taken to the underworld, and the end will definitely not be good.
The only thing I don't understand is why this assassin and mage didn't attack us directly, except for throwing a magic item to prevent us from directly killing the Abomination Butcher......"
Turce and Edgar glanced at each other, and at the same time looked blankly at Lyster, who was sitting in a chair and talking to himself, what he had never seen was the same as seeing it with his own eyes, could it be that this great elemental envoy wielding a great sword was still a prophet of unknown prophets?
"Lord Lyster, how did you know about these things, even though you have been working with me and Lord Turs?"
Edgar couldn't resist his patient curiosity after all, and asked.
"It's just an inference from the environment, and it is not known what the situation is, so it should not be true......"
Lyist looked out the window at the sky, it was afternoon, the world after the black fog receded was no longer a strange and oppressive black and green, but the dazzling array of 'torture instruments' made Nascott Village even more cruel.
"Edgar, you go and see what specific books are missing from the library, Lord Tours, you can use the Bright Disc to confirm whether the black fog has really receded completely, and I will go back to the Qianjue Temple to see."
Seeing Lyst leave, the two couldn't help but look at each other a little, not knowing what kind of medicine Lyist's gourd was going to sell.
Out of the library is a bluestone slab corridor built under the camphor tree cloud tree, and at the end of the corridor is the not too big Qianjue Temple, which is said to be a temple, but in fact it is a small temple, but this small temple also includes the library and the study room, and it becomes a temple.
The incense in the hall has been extinguished for a long time, but fortunately it has not been damaged, and the white marble platform enshrines a sheep spirit mask shaped with quartzite jade, and the eucalyptus platform under the mask also places Qianjue's longbow,
Picked it up and looked at it, and after confirming that the longbow was just an elm bow made of ordinary material, Lyist put it back again, obviously the role of the longbow is more symbolic, which means that Qianjue takes away the soul and returns to the absolute force of the underworld, obviously Exutar is also the territory of Qianjue's hunting, speaking of which, he only uses Qianjue most of the time when he contacts with Qianjue, and he doesn't really understand what the Death Messenger who travels to and from the underworld is doing every day.
Re-lit a few pillars of incense with a velvet jar on a eucalyptus platform, Lyist sat cross-legged on the futon, staring at Qianjue's mask statue without saying a word.
Looking through the fragrant smoke, Lyster's complexion gradually softened.
"It's been almost four hundred years since we last met, I don't know how you're doing in the underworld, have you been bullied by Uzur, but judging from what happened in Nascott Village, Uzur seems to have the upper hand? Otherwise, it's a random invasion of the material realm, right? ”
"Fortunately, those monsters have not defiled here, and it can be said that they have retained the most basic respect for you, and it is obvious that you are also a worthy opponent in the eyes of the enemy."
After a pause, Lyist said softly.
"You didn't come to me, it seems that the moon has not been reincarnated, I heard you say that the mother of masks has marked many outstanding souls as a means of fighting Uzur, has it been effective to this day? Uzor is a formidable enemy, and he will never stop his quest until he achieves his goal, and he must be careful to protect himself when he is hostile to him.
You once said that you have always been alone before becoming [Qianjue], no one cares about you, no one loves you, and no one cares about you, after wearing a mask and becoming Qianjue, you understand the meaning of only yourself in this world who will love yourself, I also want you to know that in addition to yourself, there may be someone who will miss you from time to time, pray for you, and want you to be safe,
Little sheep, I look forward to the day when we meet again. ”
Standing up, Lyist closed the door and exited the temple, leaving only the incense burning silently in the darkness and silence.
Lyist, who had lost his strength, didn't know that when he was thinking about Qianjue, Qianjue, who sensed the call, was returning from the battlefield of the underworld, hiding behind the stone statue of the mask and listening to him silently.
"Lyist...... You seem to have changed, and you don't seem to have changed......"
Holding the Soul Bow tightly, the muttering sheep spirit sighed, curled up behind his own idol, and the sheep spirit looked a little tired.
This time, Mordecaesar fought on two fronts, using the Underworld Legion to take the initiative to attack, and at the same time, he arranged for servants to use the underworld to invade the material realm and harvest a large number of souls.
Although the Wraith Warriors and Mask Spirits of the Mother of Masks are not inferior to the huge number of Underworld Legions of Mordecaesar, as the maintainer of order in the soul realm and the material realm, the Mother of Masks is destined to be unable to transform souls into her own warriors through a large number of harvests like Mordecaesar, and there are not many soul warriors suitable for battle, especially compared with Mordecaesar's thousands of elite army [Undead Legion], it is even more stretched, which also means that the main force in battle is still the mask spirit most of the time.
It is not easy to truly defeat Mordecaesar and destroy the army of the Maharaja of the Underworld.
Standing up, Qian Jue came to the eucalyptus in the dark, held the pillars of incense lit by Lyster in his hand, and said softly.
"Keep growing, until the day you become truly strong, and I will come to you again and unite with you against our enemies, and until then I will protect myself, for me, and for you......
Lyster, I have always believed that the purpose of your coming to the Land of Runeterras is to prevent the catastrophe that is about to befall this world, Mother can't save this world full of holes, and the alien gods high above don't care if this world is destroyed or not, only you, Lyster, only you can do it......"
……
From the Qianjue Temple, he poured out his thoughts in his heart, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Lord Lyster, I have read it, and most of the books lost in the library are books on speculation, life and death, and philosophy compiled by Yunthal like you in recent years."
"I see, good job."
With no place to stay, Lyster and Edgar returned to the stacks and found Tours with a sad face.
"Lord Tours, what happened? Why do you look sad? ”
"Alas, our enemies are becoming more and more terrifying, and the Sect of Light is declining, how can we pass on this responsibility and hope under the influence of one another......
Excuse me, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape......"
Hearing Tours' words, Edgar, who was a little excited, also became a lot more depressed.
Obviously, he followed the two to expel the black mist and defeated so many terrible monsters, but he couldn't find a reason to be happy at all, the people who died in the disaster could never be resurrected, and the broken families could never be restored, not to mention listening to the analysis of Lyster and Tours, these lost souls are likely to become their enemies in the future, becoming some kind of abomination butcher or misty ghost, as well as the monster assassin and monster mage that he had never seen before, these enemies are not threats that he can deal with at all.
"Anyway, at least we have tried, without you, without me, without Edgar, Gardner Village may not escape the erosion of the black fog, we saved more than 2,000 people in Gardner Village, this is a good thing."
“…… You're right, the results are already good now. ”
Sitting across from Tours, Lyist leaned Aatrox against the table: "Rather than sigh here, Your Excellency Tours, we might as well exchange information and our own ideas, maybe we can find a way to deal with the monsters of the Black Mist and the Isle of Shadows." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your thoughts are indeed much more useful than my sighs here."
After regaining his spirits, Turs, who had already regarded Lyster as his own, spoke.
"Let me first tell you about the current situation of our Light Sect.
At present, there are a total of fifty-three people in the sect, of which twenty-seven people are stationed in the Holy Stone Mine Cave of Shadow Island all the year round to maintain the Holy Light Enchantment, resist the erosion of the black fog of the Shadow Island through the Holy Light Enchantment, and wait for the movement of the black fog to move...... To be honest, compared to the vast world, our manpower is only a drop in the bucket.
Our duty is to determine where the black fog may appear through the Bright Disk, try to disperse the black fog with the Holy Stone weapon and the Bright Disc to repel the monsters after the black fog appears, and find suitable companions to increase the reserve strength of the Sect of Light by the way,
This time I just found the breath of black fog on the coast of Amaranhin, so I came here along the seaway of the coast of Amarantin, and met Edgar who happened to be attacked by monsters, and then met Lord Lyster, I thought this was an ordinary black fog invasion incident, but I didn't expect such a terrible monster hidden in the black fog,
The Abomination Butcher who should have appeared on the Isle of Shadows has appeared in the village of Nascott, and without the help of Lord Lyist, I'm afraid Edgar and I would have died here this time......"
The atmosphere of conversation between the three of them was very heavy, both Edgar and Tours were very interested in this adventure, and the Abomination Butcher after the mutation alone was no match, let alone the assassin who had never appeared, and the mage behind the scenes that Lyster had deduced.
In Tours's autobiography, Lyster has grasped the key point.
"You mean, you have a Holy Light Barrier on the Isle of Shadows that can resist the Black Mist? Didn't the monsters that live on the Isle of Shadows attack you? ”
"It's not as Lord Lyist imagined, our location is in an underground mine, and the Helia Sealing Circle can allow us to avoid the prying eyes of the evil creatures of the Shadow Island, and even if we want to leave the Shadow Island, we will leave through the remote coast of the mine cave and will not be discovered by those monsters.
It's not that the monsters of Shadow Isle don't attack us, they just can't find the location of the sect, in fact, there has always been a soul skeleton living in the prison of Helia looking for the true location of the sect and trying to wipe us out. ”
"Soul Hook Skeleton...... Is it the guy with three twisted bone horns on his head, who likes to carry a soul lamp and a hook and sickle? ”
Frowning, Lyster tried to depict it in the form of a hammerstone in the game, but Turce was shocked when he heard it.
"Could it be that Lord Lyist knows about the Soul Hook skeleton on the Isle of Shadows?"
Lyist's face was unusually gloomy.
"I don't know about it, but I heard some stories about that skeleton by chance, that guy is definitely not an easy character to deal with, if you are not 100% sure, I suggest that you better not attack that skeleton,
If the magic circle that sealed the tyrant's skull fails, then the soul hook skeleton must have been connected to the tyrant located in the underworld through the skull, maybe the skeleton is easy to deal with, but the tyrant is definitely not an enemy we can fight against now, we can't even say his real name in the underworld, otherwise it is likely that the tyrant will sense our location. ”
"yes, how could we be his opponents......"
"If we want to fight against him, against the gradually expanding black fog of Shadow Island, we can only use a formed army, only the army can fight against the army, only the country can fight against the country, it is very difficult to continue the inheritance with the current strength of the Sect of Light, and there is no way to play a role at all."
"So what are we going to do? Trapped in the Shadow Island, we can't get in touch with many living people, and we can't play much role with just a few dozen sect members who go to other continents, judging from the stupidity of those in power, even if we don't consider the issue of secrecy, they won't believe us and the information about the Sect of Light and the Shadow Island, they will only scoff at it, and it is too difficult to increase the power of the sect. ”
"Your Excellency Tours, how much of your Holy Stone do you have left? How many Sacred Stone weapons can be crafted? What exactly is a sacred stone? Why does it have a restraining effect on monsters in the black mist? ”
For Lyist, who suddenly became serious and had a more powerful momentum, Turce subconsciously straightened his waist, and only looked at Lyster with some surprise when he came back to his senses.
"Next, please ask Your Excellency Lyster not to spread the word, as for Edgar, since you have agreed to join the Sect of Light, then there is no need to hide this secret."
"Please rest assured, I will never pass on the secret information about the Sect of Light."
After getting Lyster's promise, Turce spoke.
"The holy stone is actually an underground rock alienated by the spring of life, in the long history of Fuguang Island, a steady stream of the spring of life has penetrated deep into the leylines, forming many large holy stone veins, although a few holy stone veins have been polluted by the corrupt spring water, but the remaining holy stones are enough to build weapons, according to the speculation of the holy blacksmith Adam, the remaining holy stones are enough to arm hundreds of thousands of soldiers if they are mined.
In fact, in the weapon vault of the Holy Stone Mine, Adam the Holy Blacksmith has been constantly building the Holy Stone weapon, just so that after his death one day, the Sect of Light can directly come up with enough weapons to fight evil, Adam's ancestor is the furnace family of Freljord, he is the best blacksmith in the Sect of Light, but unfortunately he is not young, and he has not found a suitable inheritor until now......
Lord Lyist, it has always been the population that has constrained the Sect of Light, and weapons have never been a problem. ”
Speaking of this, Turce noticed that Lyster was laughing silently, and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you have a solution to this?"
"If it's about the relationship with today's big forces, I think I can still speak, the people of Demacia on the west coast of the Valoran Continent and the Rakol people under the Giant God Peak of the Shurima Continent are not sure, I should be able to find a lot of people in Ishtar and Noxus, but we have to discuss how to cooperate carefully,
It's not realistic to let a few dozen people from your Sect of Light command thousands of people, and the situation on Shadow Island is not destined to be suitable for stationing too many people.
Tomato is free to read
Therefore, we should set up a new organization independent of the Sect of Light, and I will coordinate the relationship between the Sect of Light and the big forces as the leader and the founder of the new organization, so that we can not only produce warriors who master the weapons of the Holy Stone in large quantities, but also allow more people to come into contact with the Sect of Light, so that your sect can get a chance to expand, and it can better resist the black fog......
Excellency Tours, what do you think of my proposal? ”
