Chapter856 Messages from the Void
Outside the Immortal Fortress, at the top of the Twilight Tavern, Lester takes Anne and Tiebs, who have just taken a bath, into the room, and places the little girl and the little bear bear on the magical flower bed transplanted by Ionia, and tells the story to the little Anne in a soft tone.
After four days together, the relationship between Lester and Anne can be described as rapid development, so fast that Lester almost couldn't stop the car and went on a rampage in the direction of a certain space.
Especially just now Anne was clamoring to bathe with Lester, and Lester's good talk made Anne dispel this disturbing idea.
If he really wasn't going to do anything to Anne, he wouldn't mind bathing with the little kid if he just treated Anne like a daughter, but unfortunately he had ulterior motives from the beginning, so naturally he couldn't be too intimate in this situation.
But Anne made a fuss, and Lester had to agree to wait for Anne to take a bath with her when she was four years older and rub each other's backs.
Even after agreeing to Anne's 'unequal treaty', Lester still had to play the role of a mother, telling little Anne with Tibbs in her arms a bedtime fairy tale.
Thanks to the magic of Runeterra, he doesn't need to tell dark fairy tales such as selling matches for little girls or matchmakers, the Bandel realm is the most authentic fairy tale wonderland, with endless interesting stories.
Crucially, Anne herself likes to listen.
"Yesterday I talked about Lulu's fantasy adventure, and today I will continue to tell the story of the little cute Lulu......"
Anne's eyes widened intently, not at all drowsy, and Lester felt that his bedtime story seemed to backfire.
"In the spiritual realm there is a mischievous elf that disguises itself as all sorts of glowing flowers,
When someone stops, the flowers will spray colorful magical pollen, causing all kinds of hallucinations to the passing yodelers.
For the inhabitants of Bandel City, this kind of elf is both interesting and dangerous, no yodeler knows whether he will cry or laugh in the hallucination, or cry and make a fuss, only that when he wakes up, the memory he lost can make the yodelers around him laugh for days, you know that even the yodelers do not want to be ridiculed by the yodelers,
Therefore, with the exception of botanists who specialize in gathering magic pollen, yodelers who enter the Bandel Forest avoid all glowing flowers to avoid being tricked by the elves.
It was a sunny morning, and Lulu took Pixar to the forest to pick herbs, and happened to pass by the magic flowers disguised as elves.
Disaster was born, and in an instant, Lulu was immersed in the illusion created by the pollen - in Pixar's words, in order to meet the 'stars falling from the sky', Lulu turned into a magic cannon, and used the staff of flowers in her hand to turn most of the forest into magical flowers transformed by elves. ”
"When the wind blew, the forest wind from the west stirred the sea of flowers, and carried the seven-colored pollen wave to the city of Bandel.
Nora, the witch who lives in the forest outside the city, is the first to notice the problem, and in the face of the overwhelming amount of hallucinogenic pollen, Nora only has time to signal the scout team Temo with a fireworks stick, and then uses magic to seal the witch's house - a disaster that even Nora can't deal with. ”
"Faced with the sudden wave of pollen, Timo returned all the way to Bandle City with incredible speed, and told the Merlin gunner Tristana about the situation, but unfortunately, before Tristana could do something, the pollen swept through the whole of Bandel City......"
In the warm candle flame, Tibbs lay quietly beside Anne to guard his little master, Anne's breathing gradually became longer, and her sleepy eyes were not tired of the day, staring at the man's face nostalgically, gently closing, and falling into a sweet sleep.
The man sitting on the edge of the bed gently extinguished the candle flame and helped the sleeping little girl to press down the flower cover.
"This time, no yodelers were ridiculed, because every yodeler saw the person he missed the most, embraced the regret of never being able to say goodnight again, and all the tears were filled with the joy of reunion...... In the records of Bandel City, the hay rush is not a disaster, but a once-in-a-millennium 'good dream'.
Anne, Tibbs, have a good dream,
Good night. ”
The man left gently, and in the moonlight, on the flower bed, only Tibbs quietly stared at the tears in the corners of the little master's eyes.
……
Lester returned to his room and sat down at the table a little tiredly, the shadows on the floor began to twist and wriggle, and Evelyn stepped out of the shadows, wrapped her arms around the man's neck and took a sip on the side of her face.
"Master, there's bad news, do you want to hear it?"
"If I didn't listen to bad things that wouldn't have happened, I would be the happiest person in the world, but the reality is that many people think that death is a kind of happiness, the happiness of liberation."
Burying his face in Evelyn's cool, soft embrace, Lester whispered.
"Lynn, don't talk yet, let me hug you, okay?"
Staring at the slightly tired figure in her arms, Evelyn silently hugged the man and hummed softly, she couldn't remember the last time she hugged without desire, the only thing she knew for sure was that she would never get tired of a man's hug - even if she didn't do anything.
One man and one demon remained in the same position until the moon began to set, and the man let go of Evelyn with a slight ease.
"Say, your master is strong again."
Although she was a little reluctant in her heart, Evelyn still dismissed the idea of making out with a man.
"Just now, the news of King Azir and Queen Lucia's request for help arrived in Fidellet, and the Void Worm Tide of Acacia broke out, and now Azir has sent Nasus to start building a defensive line, and Ishtar has also sent elementals to use elemental magic to block the Miasma Jungle, but it's a pity...... The effect is not too ideal. ”
Lester's expression was solemn, it was absolutely abnormal for the Void Worm Tide to break out now, he woke up Azir in advance in order to give Azir enough time to rebuild the Shurima Empire and accumulate strength to resist the Void Invasion, and now that Azir has not pacified the warlord forces around the Dasai Desert, how can he resist the Void Worm Tide?
Even Nasus couldn't rely on Shurima's desert herdsmen to isolate the Void Worm Hive from Acacia, and any matter that could not completely destroy the insect tide would be reduced to a resource for the expansion of the Void - if it weren't for the Void Watcher's desire for a world of destruction, I'm afraid that with the speed of the Void's expansion, the Continent of Shurima would have long been reduced to the fertile ground of the Void.
As for Ishtar, perhaps the empire was too friendly to the vassal kingdom in general, so that the group of Yuenalai, who lived in the deep mountains and rainforests, felt that Ishtar deserved everything he received from the empire.
It is obvious that the respect of the empire has long been taken for granted by the rulers of Ishtar, who usually ask for something to be done, and when they are really in big trouble, they remember that there is a suzerainty outside the continent that they can rely on.
"Have you investigated the cause of the Void Eruption?"
"It can only be said that it is a speculation, and it is not yet certain that the outbreak of the Void Worm Tide is related to this."
"Tell me about it."
"In Sister Jana's church, we found a girl marked by the Void Mark, according to the investigation, this girl's name is Kesha, she is a sandman in the southern region of Shurima, and the Void Mark on her body we have never seen before, it seems to belong to a new Void Will,
According to Louisa, the Priest of the Winds, it is likely that the girl was chosen by the Prophet Marzaha to be the Worm Maiden......"
Lester was stunned, he really didn't expect that this matter might have something to do with Keisha.
Under Lester's questioning, Evelyn relayed in detail the findings from Fidwright,
To put it simply, the Void Prophet Marzaha was ready to sacrifice Keisha to the Void, but Keisha left the village of Bocuse due to Cassadine's 'unauthorized' move, which caused some unknown influences, so that the Void Zerg of Acacia followed Marzaha north and began to invade the interior of Shurima.
Lester, who had some headaches, let out a light breath, the Void Invasion was a first-class event, and it was clear that his vacation was coming to an end.
Now he also has a Void Mark on his body, which was set up by the Void Monitor, thinking that the Void Monitor once said that he would let him find the newborn Void hidden in Acacia, I'm afraid that this time I will have to talk to the Void Monitor.
"Sure enough, it's bad news, I thought that the astral realm and the underworld would be enough for a headache, but I didn't expect the void to also intervene, fortunately I hugged you just now, otherwise I'm afraid I'll faint."
Caught off guard by Lester's sudden love words, Evelyn tilted her head.
"Master, what are you going to do?"
Considering that the empire is currently fighting on two fronts, and just dealing with the astral and underworld is enough to be anxious, Lester can only focus on Jax's warbands and the Darkspawn to give the empire more time to prepare for a full-scale war.
Jax's Anti-Void War Gang needless to say, as long as the news is brought, Jax will inevitably gather strong people to go to the Shurima Continent to deal with those Void monsters who have left Acacia, as for the Dark Spawn, it is not so simple, how to use it has to come up with some rules.
After a moment of silence, Lester spoke slowly.
"Now that the main army of the empire is gathered in the north, it is not very useful to send ordinary legions to the Shurima continent, it is better to let the Shurima Empire and Ishtar form a defense line on the spot, and the empire will support some strong people to resist the void,
It just so happened that the Ionian martial artists were worried that they had nowhere to show their skills, and recruiting Vastaya and Ionian martial artists as mixed warbands should work wonders.
In addition to this, the empire has top-level forces that can be used,
At present, the empire controls three weapons that seal the soul of the Darkborn, namely the Godkiller Blade-Aatrox, the Shadow Scythe-Raast, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade-Nayafili.
It's a pity that the Bow of Corruption-Veruas and the Soul Reaver Bone Saw-Zollani are still hidden in Ionia, and even the intelligence network that uses the Night Blade can't find it, otherwise counting the abilities of the Corrupt Bow and the Soul Reaver Bone Saw, it should be able to play an extraordinary role, after all, each of those fallen Ascenders can be called Void Slayers. ”
"Master, do you mean to use those three Darkspawn weapons? Is there anything I can do? ”
Evelyn took Lester's hand with some excitement, she knew that Lester had already prepared the most suitable body for the Darkspawn, and she had a part to play in the success of these bodies, after all, the creation of these bodies was related to the conceptual demon in a sense.
The immature demon egg, conceived by the laws of hell, does not tolerate the land of rune, but has the most powerful physical power, which is suitable for the dark spawn who has lost its body and is only left with its soul as a shell, and is easily controlled by Evelyn.
The most important thing is that the empire does not need to worry about the betrayal of the Darkspawn due to the acquisition of a strong hellish body, the demon egg spawned by Lester is subordinate to Lester's slave in terms of subordination, Lester can split the demon body through the law of hell in a single thought, so that the betrayer has no chance to regret it, and this ability Lester can also give Evelyn, who is also a demon.
Lester smiled and stroked Evelyn's pretty face.
"I know that you have been eager to try it for a long time, and when I catalyze the Demon Egg, you will supervise the actions of the Darkspawn, but if any Darkspawn does not obey the order, even if you make a move, the Darkspawn is just an idle move anyway, and if you can use it best, if you can't use it, you will destroy it."
"Thank you, master, I've wanted to do something serious for a long time, but I haven't had a chance, and this time it's finally my Evelyn's turn to come out! Don't worry, master, I will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to let you see my true ability! ”
Evelyn raised her fist and shook it, looking 'I'm capable'.
Lester stared at the energetic Evelyn, and found that the female demon who did not take the initiative to seduce him seemed more seductive.
Picking up the silly Evelyn, in an exclamation, Lester threw the female demon on the flower bed, compared to Annie's budding little bean dice, sure enough, a big demon like Evelyn who is charming and back to the basics is more suitable for his taste.
"It's rare that you're willing to take the initiative to do something for me, say goblin, what reward do you want?"
Evelyn didn't expect that she usually couldn't succeed in courting, and when she didn't plan to seduce a man, the man thought about it again, and after calming down the surprise a little, Evelyn, who was extremely talented, continued to maintain the sage mode.
"Master, I'm just a poor little devil, what reward can I ask for?"
With a raised brow, Lester pinched Evelyn's chin, didn't speak, and kissed it directly.
Kissed by the man's domineering, Evelyn's aggressive golden vertical pupils suddenly became rounded, and gradually covered with a layer of mist.
"I can raise a porous mud monster into a charming female demon, and now that I think about it, I am also quite capable of raising pets."
"Huhu...... Bad hosts! You are not allowed to mention the past! Evelyn isn't a mud monster! Fortunately...... Luckily I met the host......"
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing, woo woo ......" (end of chapter)
