The moment the kiss ended, the illusion dissipated, and Lyist returned to the first floor of the castle.

Contrary to her appearance in the illusion, the black-haired witch wears a long nightgown, through which the woman's lower body temperature can be felt.

The whole body is only naked like jade-like feet, compared to normal people, the witch's big skin is a little pale, this paleness is a little different from Lisandro's crystal clear frost white, quite a strange feeling of albinism.

In the face of Lyster's cold gaze, the woman smiled without hesitation, and stood up from the man's arms, her voice mature and low, full of rhythm.

"I didn't break my promise, the vision of the man you saw came from this cannibalistic castle and all kinds of torture instruments and instruments that wanted to dismantle you, not from me.

Strictly speaking, I'm just a spectator and a participant, and the protagonists are you and him.

It's okay if you're a small character, these torture instruments won't be afraid of you at all, just bypass and walk, the problem is that you're not a small character, plus you have a little doubt about me...... This triggers the castle's will backlash, pulling you into the realm of the will left behind by that person...... In terms of results, I'm happy. ”

Lyist slapped the woman behind her unceremoniously, and the crisp slap sound accompanied the witch's exclamation.

"So, this is also the trial you left me? That's how you treat the trust I give you? ”

"It's good for you, at least if you overcome the will of the castle, the castle will no longer be hostile to you...... Well, it's really my fault, in fact, I just want to see what I really look like in your heart, after all, my behavior on the outside is easy for you to misunderstand...... Actually, in fact, I ......"

After his gaze eased a little, Lyist blocked the woman's mouth with his index finger and said softly.

"LeBlanc, I forgive you, you know me, there are some things that don't need to be said...... Show me around here. ”

Nodding gratefully, LeBlanc, whose face was flushed, found that his body was much more clumsy than his body, and it was difficult to deal with the man in front of him.

Fortunately, the man also intimately saved face for her, so that she would not be too embarrassed, as for why the man didn't call her LeBlanc but LeBlanc, LeBlanc was only regarded as a man's affectionate name for himself.

simply threw away LeBlanc, the old name that should have died, and became what he called LeBlanc.

"This is the first floor of the Dark Keep, built between the enchanted obsidian mountain rocks, three hundred meters underground in the Black Rose Mage Academy......"

The area of the Dark Castle is not large, according to the architectural structure, it should be the underground palace used by Maude Caesar himself to live, and the ancient magic defense circle is arranged everywhere inside and outside the castle, and there are several hidden spaces that even LeBlanc himself can't find.

Including the dark dungeon on the negative floors used to torture slaves and prisoners, the forbidden art workshop and the book collection room on the third floor, the Dark Fortress has a fairly complete military structure, but it is a pity that even Lyster himself has not been able to figure out the true intentions of Maude Caesar.

The information is still seriously insufficient, and it will take a lot of time to unravel the secret of the magic that Maude Caesar left here.

"I have a yodel friend who used to be imprisoned here, his name is Vega, he was a magician under Uzur, I wonder if you know anything about Vega?"

Inside the bloody and lifeless dungeon, Lystra wanders through the reluctant LeBlanc, and after seeing the Forbidden Workshop and the Magical Book Vault, it is quite a novelty.

"I know that the yodeler was originally just a cutie eager to learn the magic of the Celestial Realm, but sadly met a tyrant,

He also approached me to discuss magic with me, and I was also interested in yodel magic, but unfortunately...... I can't help him much other than let him go. ”

Following LeBlanc to Vega's cell, Lyist raised an eyebrow, and there was a string of untied magic chains and a wooden flail to hold the head in place against the wall of the cage, and various torture instruments were placed in other places.

In Lenste's own words, Vega's location was the best viewing platform from which to experience eight different executions at once.

Maude Caesar is ruthless.

"You let him go?"

At this moment, LeBlanc looked a little guilty.

"That's right, at that time I had united with Vladimir to overthrow his rule through the Lockhee clan, I could have tried to use all kinds of magic to help that yodel come to his senses, but I teleported him outside in order to monopolize the secrets here, I really can't accept a yodel madman who talks about Uzur all day long......"

With a sigh, LeBlanc took LeBlanc's hand and left Vega's dungeon, perhaps when everything was over, he would be happy to invite Vega to live here again.

"In such a world, it is enough for everyone to take responsibility for themselves, and you don't need to regret anything."

After returning to the entrance of the dungeon and continuing down the spiral staircase, through the barrier set up by LeBlanc, Lyster finally saw the most important spatial passage in the Dark Keep, the Well of the Soul.

The soul well was made of obsidian, and sometimes it spewed a blue soul glow into the air, and if you put your ears close to the mouth of the well, you could faintly hear the soul wails from another world, and some kind of whisper that you had never heard before, could not understand.

He didn't know if it was the Ochen language that made Mordekai fill the world with cups.

With LeBlan's consent, Lyist looked down at the well, which was shrouded in a thick dead air, and the black iron plate armor with at least a hundred kinds of sealing formations attached to it was suspended in the well.

Just as Lyster wanted to take a closer look at the size of the black iron plate armor and estimate how big Maude Caesar was, he was dragged back by LeBlanc behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Do you have a feeling that your soul is being attracted? You can't stare into the well of souls for a long time, or your soul will go to the underworld, and I won't be able to drag you back then. ”

"Feeling attracted? It seems that no, but I heard someone talking. ”

Hearing this, LeBlanc was also stunned, even she herself would be affected by the deep well of her soul...... But what's the matter with someone talking?

Hell not?

Isn't she LeBlanc the biggest ghost in the Dark Keep?

"Can you hear someone talking down there!?"

This next turn Lyste was surprised.

"You can't hear me?"

LeBlanc shook her head in confusion.

"I can only feel the feeling of my soul being tugged at, and I can't hear anything."

Lyist smiled a little more.

"Maybe my soul is special, and it seems that there are still many secrets to be explored here...... But before that, LeBlanc, you'll have to help me lift Loy's Soul Sealing Curse, and you'll be glad you didn't actually kill Loy, otherwise we'd be enemies. ”

Blinking, LeBlanc took Lyster's hand and left the Well of Souls.

"And now? What are we? ”

"The most intimate ...... Comrades-in-arms ......"

"Huh?"

"...... with a lover"

"That's pretty much it."

“…… One. ”

“！

？ ”

When a random portal in Bandle City appeared near the Immortal Fortress, Lyist returned to Bandel City to stay for a few days.

After retrieving the sleeping Roy from Bandle City and writing a letter of peace to Sheena, Lyist lived in the Dark Castle where there was no light of day, and became a caveman at the bottom of the mountain.

Roy, who had lifted the soul sealing spell, finally regained consciousness, and out of guilt, LeBlanc accepted the second occupant of the Dark Keep, although there was some estrangement between the two women, but it was because he didn't really make a move on Lyist's face, which made Lyster breathe a sigh of relief.

Because LeBlanc's bed is quite big, the three of them can sleep directly when they are tired of playing, and as for whether it is stacked with enviable Arhats, even a sad writer who opened a new book does not know.

There are too many mysteries left by Maude Caesar in the Dark Keep, the operation method of the teleportation crystal, the secret space hidden by Maude Caesar, and the deep well of the soul that whispers, there are too many secrets to explore.

Anyway, there is nothing else important going on in the outside world at the moment except for the invasion of Dragon Island, so Lyist settled down to live in the castle and use the books left by Maude Caesar to find a way to crack the secret.

……

Noxian calendar, 806 A.D., August 4,

A coalition of 10,000 people, consisting of the Noxian Empire Warband, the noble private soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia, the Kingdom Army of the Kingdom of Norsland, the adventurers of the Duchy of Valoran, the Warlords of Shurima, the Treasure Hunters of Bilgewater, and the Ionian Navoli Brotherhood, arrived by ship in the Sea of the Watchers near the Far North.

The fleet finds the legendary dragon's lair in the mist, and the war between the dragons and the invaders begins.

On March 25 of the following year, despite the last warning of the dragon clan, the humans who insisted on going deep into the dragon island to plunder were met with a crazy counterattack by the dragon clan, and the dragon clan, who was really angry, decided not to keep his hand anymore, and the awakened ancient dragon waved its wings to reappear in the land of rune, and the tragic dragon island war began.

On November 3, 807 AD, the traitor of Dragon Island, the dragon priest who surrendered to the underworld, Anvatonette, opened the underworld teleportation array, which had absorbed enough souls, and successfully led the undead army marshal Sebastian to descend on the dragon island with the soldiers of the underworld.

Humans and dragons have to stop fighting and face a new crisis together.

The dark clouds of the underworld shrouded the sky above Dragon Island, and the ghost mage of the undead legion awakened the remains of hundreds of ancient dragons sleeping in the dragon mound through the underworld soul gathering spell created by Maude Caesar in the Ouchen language, and the remains were successfully transformed into more than 300 bone dragons dominated by the mages of the underworld.

Sebastian, who had obtained the Bone Dragon Legion, led thousands of undead legion warriors to pounce on the living on Dragon Island, and the war between humans and dragons turned into a war between the living and the dead in an instant, and both dragons and Terrans paid a terrible price.

Noxian calendar, 808 A.D., April.

The ancient dragon, the leader of the Dragon Island, [Ozra Pamirda Guralda] defeated the Legion of the Underworld at the cost of his life, and before the casualties exceeded his control, Sebastian, who had collected enough souls, led the remnants of more than 200 bone dragons to return to the Underworld with the traitor Dragon Sacrifice Anvatonette of the Dragon Island.

The Immortal Qi Barrier that obscured the sky and the sun was dispersed, and only a few of the human alliances survived, but the angry dragons attacked again, insisting on killing all the invading humans to vent their grievances.

Protected by the Black Rose, Burnham Darkwell left Dragon Island in ashes through the teleportation array, and the rest of the humans who either surrendered or rebelled were wiped out, and the Noxian Empire warband did not bring back any wealth, but instead buried thousands of lives.

The Dragon Island War that shocked the world came to an end, and no one knew what kind of disaster had happened on Dragon Island except for a few powerful mages who left Dragon Island through teleportation magic.

After thinking about it, the dragons gave up their direct revenge on humans because they were afraid of another invasion from the underworld, and set out to exterminate all human slaves on Dragon Island to avoid the recurrence of internal traitors like Anvatonette.

The Dragon Elder used dragon magic to reseal the Dragon Isle and tried to make peace with the Mixed Blood Dragons in the Dragon Valley of Ishtar to replenish his bloodline.

The mage of the Black Rose was given enough dragon body materials, and Burnham Darkwell only received an unacceptably large defeat except for a portion of the dragon's blood, which could suppress the symptoms of bloodthirstiness.

The first thing Burnham did when he returned to the Immortal Fortress was to block the news of the Empire's defeat, saying only that the Imperial Legion had suffered heavy losses due to the betrayal of the Demacians on Dragon Island.

Because the Continental Peace Conference had just signed a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Norsland and the Duchy of Valoran, Burnham, who had no way to tear his face and wage war against his neighbors, set his bloodthirsty eyes on Demacia, a powerful country in the Western Continent.

Using Demacia to divert the contradictions of the defeat, the anger of the Noxian people successfully led to the old neighbor to the west, and Demacia, who felt the hostility of Noxus, also began to prepare for war, and after the Dragon Island War, the clouds of war appeared again in the sky over the Valoran continent, which had been calm for forty years.

……

Time flies, and more than sixty years have passed since the Dragon Island War.

Noxian Empire, outside of Drekan, lumberyard.

The tall and sturdy young man with a sturdy head was waving the logging axe in his hand with a solemn expression, as solemn as a general who had gone into battle to kill the enemy, and the logging axe was slashed on the trunk of the tree again and again.

Positioned neither high nor low, each axe is just right to bite off a large piece of flesh from a tree on the bevel of the blade.

One axe, two axes, three axes, four axes......

"Hah!"

The eleventh axe was cut down, and the tall trees could no longer maintain their balance, and fell to the right of the young man with a creak, and a dozen axes went down, and a standard log appeared in front of the young man.

Unlike the other lumberjacks, the boy threw his axe at the stake, and the only one carried the stout log and easily returned to the lumber yard.

The other lumberjacks just glanced quietly, hiding their fear and trying not to attract the attention of the youth as much as possible.

"Sain! Thain! Let's go join the army together! The Empire needs us! ”

The young man, who was about to return to the woods, stood still, waiting for his hair to approach him, and said suddenly.

"No, no."

"Why not? Didn't you always want to be the greatest general in Noxus? ”

The young man stared at his friend with a puzzled expression and said solemnly.

"Only war can bring me the glory that belongs to Locke, and I'm tired of seeing those Noxian soldiers who have never been on the battlefield and have not killed the enemy flaunting their might in front of me,

Becoming an Imperial soldier now will only tarnish my faith, and I'd rather chop wood here. ”

"Do you mean, then, if the Empire does go to war with Demacia, you'll join the army?"

At this moment, the young man named Sain was ruthless.

"Of course, if the Empire goes to war with Demacia, I will put on armor and cut off the head of every enemy with an axe, so that those Imperial cowards in military uniforms can see what a true Imperial warrior is!"
