Josh doesn't know why when it comes to Morgana's mouth, he has become a person who "starts in chaos and abandons everything".

But Josh could tell from the smile in her eyes that Morgana was just a small joke.

It's just that Morgana pointed out to his face that he and Ahri have a strong aura of each other, maybe she doesn't mean anything else, but they all have different feelings when they hear it to several people.

Ahri doesn't care about this, if you do it, you do it, and there is no need to hide it, anyway, there is only Tiana who is an outsider present.

Josh, like Tiana, felt a little embarrassed.

Josh could clearly sense the disgusted gaze cast by Sindra behind him, as well as the curious look of Gwen beside him.

Although Tiana has married the leader of the Demon Seeker Society, there is basically no conjugal relationship between the two, and there is very little practical relationship between men and women.

Especially the intimate emotional problems of the ancestor of Demacia's founder, who was listened to by herself, an outsider, Tiana really felt that she would not continue to stay here, nor should she retreat back to the ship.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long.

Morgana's arrival greatly boosted the morale of the Sentinels and the Intrepid Vanguard.

It was the legendary Demacian protector from hundreds of years ago, although it may not be as powerful as Sindra and Josh who used the world runes, but it was more famous.

Since Josh had just returned, and Sindra rarely decapitated, not only the Demacians, but also the Sentinels knew much about Morgana.

After all, the Demacia Twins, the name of the Winged Protector are there.

Morgana and Ahri boarded the Eagle, and ships laden with soldiers sailed out of the port of Xiongdu and sailed through the turbulent sea of conquerors towards the Shadow Isle of the Eternal Sea.

With the addition of soldiers, equipment, and logistical supplies, Demacia's warships were almost fully loaded.

Even if it were a smooth ride, it would still take them weeks to sail.

Salty and wet sea breezes, multi-masted warships sailed through the Conqueror's Sea on the western side of Valoran's continent to finally reach the boundless Eternal Sea, where they joined the Sentinel fleets of other regions beyond the Isle of Shadows.

The moonlight and the morning stars in the sky receded, and the dim sky turned white.

Several sentinel ships lowered their wooden boats and soon approached the Sword Eagle, which was at the helm.

Familiar faces from the Sentinel Sanctuary in other regions climbed up the rope ladder to the boat, and one of the blue-haired young girls pounced on Ahri as soon as she saw her.

"Boss! I want to kill you! ”

Ahri pouted helplessly, and turned sideways very dexterously, and the blue-haired girl suddenly pounced, because of inertia, she couldn't control her body to rush forward, and the whole person hit the boat gang, and almost fell into the sea.

"Whew—it's dangerous!"

Daisy turned pale and exhaled a lot of air, then looked back at Ahri who was dodging.

"Boss, how can you do this? It's a disappointment to my thoughts......"

"Come on, Daisy, don't think I can't see what you're thinking." Ahri rolled her eyes.

As for this "bad girl" in Picheng, whose parents died due to the Night of the Eclipse of Souls, she was sponsored by Ahri since she was a child and adopted by the Sentinel Organization, Ahri knows her little bit of caution very well.

Daisy likes to rely on her female identity to rub oil when hugging other people of the same gender, especially flirting with other innocent girls.

For this reason, her girlfriend, Ada from Zaun, is not less angry with Daisy.

Ahri knew this, so she never had any physical contact with Daisy.

Sure enough, Daisy's performance instantly ignited Ada, who had just boarded the ship, with anger, "Daisy! What are you doing again?! ”

"Hey, hey......" Daisy returned to Ada's side in a gray way, trying to comfort her little girlfriend, "Don't be angry, I haven't seen the boss for so long, I'm just too excited." ”

"Excited? And how do you explain your last behavior? Well? Flirting with that sister who has just joined the Sentinel? ”

"Last time...... Daisy reacted suddenly, her face a little nervous, "that's not ...... Do you ...... enhance your relationship?"

"Daisy!!"

The blue-haired and pink-haired girl began today's daily quarrel again.

Although they are in love with each other, Daisy's bad behavior always disappoints Ada.

Although Daisy never really committed misdeeds, all frivolity is only superficial, and it belongs to only the color heart, not the color guts.

When will she get rid of this bad habit of messing with flowers and grass?

Ida was very unhappy, but she was helpless.

The subsequent heads of the Sanctuary of Bajou, the Sanctuary of the Titan Peak, and the Sanctuary of Ionia, Livai, Ti Fani, and Annabal all showed expressions of helplessness.

McCady from Ishtar also looked a little disgusted, pretending not to know them, and silently moved a few steps to the side.

Levi walked around Daisy and Ada, walked up to Josh and Ahri, and bowed his head, "Chief, Grandmaster Russell, Miss Sindra, Miss Gwen...... And this one? ”

Looking at the bewitching woman with black wings behind her, with an unusually outstanding temperament, far from being comparable to ordinary people, Levi was stunned and shocked, but also a little panicked.

In the legend of the Sentinel of Light, there was an introduction to the winged man on his back, and the winged sisters of Demacia had a very good relationship with Ahri.

Levi also had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

"You can call me Morgana."

Sure enough, it's the Flying Wing Sisters!

Morgana's self-introduction startled the sentinel leaders who had just arrived, and immediately came over to greet her.

"Don't be nervous, we can communicate normally like friends, as long as you don't make a mistake...... Of course, if you sincerely repent before me, I will also forgive you. ”

As she spoke, Morgana's purple-black eyes glanced at Daisy, causing her to get goosebumps all over her body.

Ada hesitated, but she bit her lip and made up her mind, and took the initiative to block in front of Daisy and cut off Morgana's view.

"Daisy, she's not wrong......"

Morgana chuckled with interest, "I didn't say anything. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

Compared to the usual day when he is serious on the surface in public, he is actually quite amiable to his own people, and Sindra who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Morgana gave everyone the feeling of being a "god" far from the world.

Even if she doesn't have any lofty attitude, the big guy just can't equate Morgana with a human.

Perhaps this is the essential transformation that the power of the astral spirit brings to mortals.

"Okay, it's important to get down to business, don't digress."

Ahri returned to the topic and asked Levi'i, "What is the current situation on the side of the Bajou?" What about Aloy? ”

"This ...... The situation in Bilgewater is somewhat complicated. ”

Livi scratched at his cheek, embarrassed.

"After Planck's disappearance, the Hooks are still fighting with other gangs, and recently it seems that someone has been found to pretend to be Planck, but the others obviously don't believe it."

He sighed, "Bilgewater is panicking because of the gang fight, the Bajou sect is unwilling to help those pirates maintain order, and our people are busy with the affairs of the Shadow Isle, and at the moment only Aloy is present, and she can't take care of the ruin curse."

"But...... Aloy did mention what to do with the sealed soul of the Ruined King, just destroy the sealing vessel, and naturally annihilate it with the soul. ”

As he spoke, Levi seemed to think of something, and took out a delicate small wooden box from his satchel, exuding a strong breath of life.

"Oh yes! I also brought this. ”

He opened the box, revealing the emerald green seed.

"The seed you gave me, Aloy summoned Naga Kapoulos and infused it with life force."

This is the same deal Ahri made with Mokai when he first explored the Shadow Isles, and begged him to come to his aid.

Imbue the tree species of this spirit of nature with life force and restore some of its strength to the threat of the spider god Despicable Throat.

However, it all ended when Lunicia borrowed Josh's body and directly slashed the Throat of Vileness, without using Maokai to make a move.

Not only that, but Josh had already obtained the source of life from the world rune fragments that had created the water of life under the guidance of Ruiz, which was enough to easily replenish the passing magic of Mokai and purify the water of life.

The life force in a mere tree species is far less than that brought by the world runes.

But having said that, Ahri took the box and thanked Livai, "Thank you, Mokai will be happy." ”

After all, if you want to eradicate the curse of ruin and restore the Shadow Isle to life, even if you borrow the source of life, you can't do it for a while.

It's good to have Mokai purify his forest corrupted by the black fog first, and get on good terms with this nature spirit.

Ahri then continued with the question: "Michael's Cauldron is kept with Reze, but it is an ancient artifact, and we have not found a way to destroy it for the time being. ”

Just then, McCaddy spoke, "I've been in contact with Yorick, and he said that Helia once had a magical amber stone called the Sea Serpent Amber?" It is a certain kind of magic item researched by the people of Fuguang Island and the people of Bajou. ”

"It is true." Livay nodded, "The history of the Bajou Sect is documented in the historical texts. ”

"There's one of these stones in the Sentinel's vault." Ahri pondered for a moment, "Back then, under the leadership of Callista and Ledroth, a group of sentinels found amulets made of sea serpent amber from the secret vault of the Hammerstone Prison, and there were not many of them. ”

McCaddy pondered for a moment, "Yorick said that if the soul of the Ruined King could be transferred to the Sea Serpent Amber, it would be melted directly by the heat, thus destroying it completely. ”

"The Goddess of the Dawn of our Sun Cult can invoke the power of the sun...... But now the situation at the Giant God Peak is not optimistic, and I'm not sure if she's willing to help. Ty Fani hesitated.

【Damn!】 Fucking goddamn star spirits again?! Lunicia scolded, [Listen to this woman's description, it is designated as the human host of the Sun Star Spirit!] 】

The voice that suddenly exploded in his head made Josh frown, "I know that the sea snake is amber, and the magma is enough to melt it, and it just so happens that there is an active volcano on the edge of Fuguang Island, right on Skadover Reef.

"It was to the southeast, and it seemed that there were still inhabitants on Fukuko Island when it was not yet ruined...... Of course, I read it from the texts and didn't confirm it with my own eyes.

"I don't know if the volcano is dormant now."

As soon as Josh finished speaking, Ahri turned her eyes to Morgana beside her.

"My corrosive black flame is much hotter than magma, and it should be able to destroy that ancient artifact directly." Morgana said bluntly, "If you want to avoid the surprises that may come with transferring the soul of the Ruined King. ”

"Michael's Crucible does work wonders, and it was the one who cracked the original mist."

Ahri thought for a moment, "However, if you want to transfer the seal, you will have to release Foyego's soul first, and it is indeed very risky to do so.

"It's just the price of an ancient artifact, and we can afford to be able to safely eradicate the dilapidation...... But we'll have to ask Gwen, Leslie and Kaloya for their opinions first. ”

"Huh? Me? ”

Gwen, who was named by Ahri and had been quietly listening to the conversation of several people, was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said: "As long as I can completely eliminate Foyego, I don't care~~"

And on the upper deck, Kaloya, who was leaning against the fence, heard their exchange, looked at her expressionless brother beside her, and then replied:

"The Kamaviaya heritage has been cut off for a thousand years, and we have no connection to the kingdom that has been submerged in the river of time."

"Then we can decide on the next step." Ahri nodded and looked back at Morgana, "I'll leave it to you this time." ”

"It's a gesture."

As soon as everyone finished talking about the soul of Foyego, Josh suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then again, where did Ruiz go?" I haven't seen him since I boarded the ship today. ”

"He...... Don't you know your brother? Ahri sighed helplessly, "He went back to the Haven Sea Cliff last night to get Michael's Crucible, and now he should be in the Tavern." ”

"Huh?" ×2

Upon hearing the name, Josh and Gwen were stunned at the same time.

Levi explained, "Didn't you ask Fiyette and Gaywin to deliver the magic items they found from the Isle of Shadows to the Sentinel Sanctuary last time? I threw an olive branch to them, and they were willing to join the sentinels, so I sent someone to help them rebuild the tavern. ”

Thinking back to the very principled Fayette, Josh still had a good impression of the middle-aged woman.

In the future, Fuguang Island will no longer be hidden from the world, and it is at least much better to be able to make a living on the outskirts of the island with the support of sentinels than to face the black fog and the ruined souls every day.

"I guess he should be with Yorick right now." Ti Faniwen smiled and said, "There are not many people who can make Grandmaster Ruiz a friend. ”

"Two old stubborns." Sindra muttered.

"Alright, now that everyone has assembled, let's start the next plan."

Ahri looked around and took in the faces of several people, "There is a lot of trouble for you in the next battle." ”

"Where are you saying that? It's our duty as sentinels to fight against ruin! Levi straightened his back and grinned, "You can wait for us ...... at ease."

"Stop—it's not working out yet, but you're not allowed to stand up to Fleg."

Ahri chuckled and glanced at Josh, a word she had learned from Josie.

It's just that the pronunciation is too strange, as if it doesn't belong to any language known to Ahri.

Or rather...... Not part of Runeterra?

Ahri didn't think too much about it, and then asked Morgana: "You can follow Livai and the others to find Riz, and try to dispose of Foyego's soul before we start the conquest plan." ”

"I understand." Morgana nodded in agreement.

"What about you, Gwen?" Ahri continued to ask Gwen, "Do you want to give him a final ride?" ”

She paused, "You know what I want to say...... Don't you have Isold's soul shard attached to you? ”

Gwen suddenly felt a throbbing and pain in her heart, and she remembered the image she had seen when she was a doll when Foyego and Isolde were sweetly in love.

"The host she ...... Want to rest in peace. Gwen smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Not just herself, but Foyego...... The past is already the past, and it is the master's greatest wish now to be able to free him as soon as possible. ”

The people around fell silent for a moment.

"In that case, then you can stay with me and Josh." Ahri gently took Gwen's hand and said to the others, "Let's get moving." ”

"Understood!"

Several of the sentinels left the Sword Eagle one after another, and returned to their ships in the lone boat.

Morgana and Sindra also followed Livai and Ti Fani, respectively, and they needed to split up.

A few more sentinels went to the ships on Demacia's side to inform Tiana and the Dreadnought Vanguard Shield, who had already lined up, to prepare for the Shadow Isle.

When everything was ready, the captain's shouts echoed, and soon they were swallowed up by the sound of the endless black waves, and the sailors sprang into action, and the Sword Eagle set sail again.

Gwen was a little distraught because of the question just now, and stood on the side of the ship in a daze, staring into the distance.

She needed someone to be alone, and both Josh and Ahri knew that.

A few paces away from Gwen, Ahri stood at the bow of the ship, standing side by side with Josh, gazing at the thick black clouds and dark mist that rolled in the distance, and the dark islands that were clearly visible to the naked eye.

It didn't take long for her to ask softly, "Josh, I've always had a question." ”

Her tail drooped, just enough for Josh to wrap around her slender waist from behind.

Josh's chin rested on Ahri's shoulder, and he reveled in the faint fragrance of his nose.

This is a very brief period of relaxation and warmth before the next big war, which will last for an unknown amount of time.

"Ask, if I can answer that."

"You're sure you can answer that." Ahri tilted her head slightly, and her warm cheeks made contact with Josh, "I want to ask, if you come back to reality and find that I am long gone...... Will you be the next Foyego? ”

[Well, I think it's possible.] Lunicia answered the question for Josh.

"What stupid are you talking about?"

Josh frowned and slapped Ahri hard.

This sudden attack caused Ahri's ears and tail to tremble, and his face suddenly turned rosy, and he said coquettishly, "You bastard! There are outsiders here! How can you ......"

"Who told you to ask such a question?" Josh slapped Ahri hard again, "What a fight!" ”

Ahri bit her lower lip lightly, and hurriedly looked back behind her with her radiant and flustered eyes.

Fortunately, the crash of the waves drowned out the untimely crunch, and even the nearest Gwen didn't hear anything unusual.

The other sailors and sentinels were also very interested, and their attention was not at all on the side of the two who were tired of it.

"So, what about your answer?"

"Do you really want me to answer?"

"Uh-huh."

Josh was silent for a moment.

"What's the point of me living alone in this world without you?"

[Hey, you can't do that! Lunicia warned, "You promised me that you would help me break the seal!" 】

"It's all just hypothetical."

Josh responds to Lunicia and says to Ahri, "Perhaps, I'll just give my body to Lunisia." ”

[Hmm...... I can barely accept it. 】

Ahri turned around, tears glinting in her golden eyes, "You're such a big fool! ”

"I'm just telling the truth." Josh just shrugged his shoulders, "No matter what, I can't drag the whole world into the water for my own selfish feelings, right?" ”

In the next second, Ahri directly held his cheek and gave him a deep kiss of his own.

Gwen seemed to sense the movement here, and looked sideways at Josh and Ahri, who were kissing again, and a little envy faintly arose in her heart.

If only I could get this kind of love......

After a while, her lips parted, and Ahri looked at the gaze, but as her eyes made contact, Gwen immediately turned her face as if she had been electrocuted, and the moist corners of her lips hooked up a smile.

"So, is there a standard answer to your question?" Josh and Ahri looked at each other and reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, "I guess I'm right, right?" ”

"Didn't the kiss just now already say it all?"

Ahri smiled sweetly, buried her face in Josh's chest again, and said, "Wait for the surprise later, I promise to give you a big gift." ”
