The map on the folding wooden table is a map of Fukuko Island, or more precisely, the topography of Shadow Island that has been revised according to the map of Fukuko Island.

Due to the influence of the Curse of Ruin, the city that was detonated by the World Rune has not fully recovered, and a considerable part of the ruins have been affected by magic, ignoring the rules of physics, and losing gravity and floating in the air.

As a result, the city is already located on the coastline, and much of the city is flooded by the inundation of the sea.

The "coast" where the sentinels are now temporarily stationed is actually the middle and upper urban area of Hailia after passing through the door of enlightenment.

It's just that the closer they get to the Shining Light Tower, which is the source of the world's rune collapse, the more strange undead souls gather, and the area they are in is close to the edge, and there is still a considerable distance from the Shining Light Tower.

"The situation is not optimistic."

Livi grimaced as he gestured to an area of Helia near the Tower of Light.

"Since the night of the Soul Eclipse some time ago, the black fog has taken the souls of many innocent people, and the aura of the dead in this vicinity has become even stronger."

Immediately afterwards, another female sentry, whose silver hair was combed back and coiled up by a sun-drenched golden ornament, said:

"You said don't act rashly, so we didn't dare to send scouts to explore the situation."

She is a sentinel from the Sun Cult named Ti Fani, and she is the head of the Sentinel Sanctuary in the area of the Giant God Peak.

"Be wise, doing so will only cost our sentinels their lives in vain." Ahri praised.

"So, what do we do next?" Another woman, who also has short white hair and a healthy wheat complexion, said.

Compared to the kindness and softness of the previous one, this one's temperament is obviously more direct, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush.

She is the Sentinel of Ishtar, named Mercaddy, who has been "closed off" since the Void Invasion and has not yet appeared.

Speaking of which, this sentinel who took the initiative to stay away from his homeland and once personally found Ahri was not robbed of anything by the black fog.

And her hometown of Ishtar has not been threatened by the black fog because of the Great Magic Array.

McCaddy only learned about the Black Mist and wanted to find out why this evil curse existed, so he joined the Sentinels of Light.

In addition to the two sentinels, there was a middle-aged man at the table who resembled Ionia in appearance and dress, with a messy beard on his face, and a sacred stone broadsword that Josh had used to use on his back.

His name was Annaba, the Holy City of Ionia, the head of the Sentinel Sanctuary of Presidian.

Holding hands on the other, the sister-like female sentinel, with blue and pink hair, is the twin lovers of Piltover and Zaun, Daisy and Ada, and the head of the sanctuary of the twin sister city-states.

Ahri pondered for a moment, "We have lost many brothers and sisters in Hailia, and you should not rush into it. ”

"Huh? You mean you're not going to let us help anymore? ”

Wearing a blue ponytail and a bold outfit, Daisy frowned slightly to show off her well-trained vest line.

Immediately after, Ida, who was tightly wrapped in clothes and tied with long pink hair tied into a ball, hurriedly said: "Then you don't have support, what should you do if you are in danger?!" ”

As soon as Ada's words fell, everyone looked at Josh and Gwen, who had just been subconsciously ignored by them.

"Who are these two?" Ty Fani frowned and looked at Gwen with orange eyes that seemed to be burning with the fire of the sun, "I feel a breath of life from you, but it is similar to the black mist...... Strange, is this the Holy Haze? ”

"Hello, my name is Gwen! I'm here to help them fight against the Black Mist, against Foyego! ”

Gwen grasped it in her right hand, and the scissors that were originally stored in the sewing kit suddenly appeared in her palm, and under the urging of magic, they immediately turned into scissor weapons that were basically the same height as her.

"Wow! It's amazing! What kind of magic is this? Daisy was surprised.

"This is my weapon, a gift from my master." Gwen said.

"Master?"

Ishtar's McCady subconsciously glanced at Josh with a scrutinizing glint in his eyes.

As a former vassal of Shurima, because Azir did not have time to inform the world about his idea of abolishing slavery, Ishtar was still sensitive to slavery.

Afraid that the bad-tempered McCady would say something offensive, Levi quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, Grandmaster Russell is our leader's lover. ”

Everyone looked at the silent Josh, still wondering what kind of man would let his leader pursue for a thousand years.

Daisy smiled and took the initiative to wave her hand to say hello, "Hi~~ Grandmaster Russell, my name is Daisy, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome." ”

"Daisy!" Ida next to him was not happy, pulled Daisy's arm, and said with a dark face: "It's all at this juncture, you still have the heart to play!" ”

"Ouch, my lovely Ada is angry?"

Daisy tried to touch Ada's cheek, but she snorted and dodged her.

"My master is Isurd~~" Gwen waved her finger, "I am a doll she made, and I got life by chance." ”

Several sentinels who didn't know the truth looked even more dazed, and they all looked at Ahri.

The sentinels knew that only the Vasani had similar activation magic.

"Gwen's matter is complicated, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while, so let's focus on the problem at hand."

Ahri pointed to the southeast location where the current sentinels were, "We are currently at this point, and I will enter Helia with Josh and Gwen to investigate the situation...... Don't worry about us, Josh is so much better than that guy from Reze. ”

She turned her head and winked at Josh with a smile on her lips.

He carries the runes of the world on his body, and Ahri knows it well.

However, she is not the Ryze who has become a bit of a brainstorm since Tyrus's death, and does not allow anyone to hold the runes of the world.

Ahri didn't ask Josh to hand over the World Rune and take it to the seal.

Because she herself knew that Josh, who had used the World Runes in the first place, had not been able to stop Foyego from bringing about the Great Ruin.

And now that the dilapidated Foyego will only become stronger, and without using the power of the world runes, he will not be able to defeat him at all, unless he finds another way.

"What about us?" Livi asked, "We don't know why the Night of the Eclipse suddenly came early, but now that we're on the Isle of Shadows, we have to do something, right?" ”

"Each of you will take a small team of sentinels to explore new and potentially dangerous areas on the outskirts of Shadow Island, and record them so that we may need them in the future to clear the Black Mist Undead."

Ahri quickly assigned the task, and at the same time admonished: "Don't put yourself in danger, remember the first rule of the sentinel, your life safety is the most important thing......

"As for the exploration area, is it still as it was previously assigned, is it all clear?"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ahri turned around and planned to leave.

Ada stopped her, "Don't you need a map?" ”

Daisy put her arm around her shoulder, "Silly girl, the boss used to live on Fuguang Island, how could he not know the way?" You're worrying too much! ”

"That's right, thank you for your concern." Ahri looked back at Ada and smiled, "I think I remember what Helia used to be...... Let's go. ”

Josh, Ahri, and Gwen make their way to the outside of the Sentinel's makeshift stronghold.

But after walking a few steps, Ahri paused again and said without looking back:

"You have to be safe, I don't want to wait until I come back and find out that some people are missing arms and legs, or someone."

"Got it, Boss!"
