Chapter 138: The King and the Queen! A spear that changes the line of the world!
[The host can choose to help Foyego realize his dream!] Once the conditions are met, the host can choose one of Foyego's many abilities and traits! 】
In the northern part of the Shadow Island, in the black fog that had become very thin, eight demigods surrounded two of them in the middle.
On the devastated ground, Foyego lay in the ruins with a dilapidated music box in his arms, while Zuochi stood above his head.
"Jingle Bell~~Jingle Bell~~"
The crisp music was still coming from the music box, and Foyego looked at Zuo Chi in front of him with a look of disbelief.
"Want to meet her? I can help you. ”
Seeing that Foyego didn't speak, just looked at himself in a daze, Zuo Chi said with a smile again.
Foyego struggled to sit up with the music box in his arms, his body was covered with hideous wounds, and his breath was even more sluggish, as if it could be completely extinguished at any moment.
"Why should I believe you!"
As he spoke, Foyego never let go of his hand holding the music box, and he looked down with extreme tenderness in his eyes.
Zuo Chi's fingertips pointed, and his eyes were filled with strong spiritual power.
"You can choose to refuse, and then dissolve into the world with Isolde, this is your last chance."
Listening to Zuo Chi's words, looking at his eyes without any hostility, Foyego's hand holding the music box couldn't help but loosen a little.
He knew very well that with the current situation, Zuo Chi could easily destroy him and his queen, but Zuo Chi still chose to stand in front of him and said such a thing to him.
"Isold's soul fragments haven't been collected yet." Foyego said again.
Zuo Chi tilted his head noncommittally: "I have a way." ”
Neither Foyego nor Zuo Chi spoke again, and the surroundings were completely silent except for the jingle of the music box.
After a long silence, Foyego raised his only hand and handed the music box to Zuochi.
It's been a thousand years, Foyego and Isolde haven't seen each other for a thousand years, and he is desperate to see Isolde, not to mention that Foyego knows that he can't leave the Shadow Isle today no matter what.
In this case, if he can meet his queen before he dies, everything he has done will be worth it.
Zuo Chi stuck his long knife on the ground, and he reached out with his left hand to hold the music box that Foyego handed over.
The blue soul was silently suspended in the sky of the music box, and Zuo Chi raised his right hand and pointed at Foyego in front of him.
The dark red fox mark at the center of his eyebrows lit up, and a rich spiritual power burst out from Zuo Chi's hand, and the spiritual power dragged the soul fragments that Foyego had just plundered from Senna and Gwen, and slowly merged into the mutilated soul above the music box in front of him.
As Foyego said, he hadn't collected all of Isold's soul fragments yet.
Even though he had already traveled to the entire Runeterra, there was still a soul fragment that had not been collected, because this soul fragment was not elsewhere, but on the Isle of Shadows, but Foyego didn't know it!
Zuo Chi turned his head to look in the direction where Yorick was, and yes, that soul fragment was on Yorick's misty maid.
It's just that Zuo Chi didn't choose to plunder the soul fragments on the misty maiden, because Zuo Chi knew something else.
It was the soul fragment on the body of the Misty Maiden, representing the painful and dark side of Isolde's soul.
Isolde had already rested in peace, but was forcibly pulled back to reality by Foyego using the eaux-de-vie from the boundary between life and death, and her soul endured great pain, and a painful and dark side was born.
The water of life magnifies the tyranny and darkness in Isurd's soul, which is why Isurd raised the sword of the king, Mu Qing, and pierced Foyego's heart.
This is also the main reason why Zuo Chi did not choose to collect all the soul fragments on the Misty Chambermaid.
Although the mutilation of the soul will make the soul strength very low, it may also strip Issoul's soul of its brutality, leaving her original gentle side to Foyego.
Two more soul fragments were fused, and the light blue soul in Zuo Chi's hand had become more and more condensed.
Zuo Chi turned his head to look at Karma, Chio Ningran, and Kenan in the distance.
If there was anyone present who could help him in terms of soul power, it was perhaps the three demigods from Ionia, and Karma, as the carrier of Ionia's soul, no one was more proficient in awakening the power of the soul than her.
Catching up with Zuo Chi's line of sight, Karma, Chio Ningran, and Kenan nodded lightly as they flew towards Zuo Chi's side.
Falling from the sky, the three of them looked at Zuo Chi, who whispered:
"Three, help me."
Chio Ning didn't have any objection to Kenan's request, while Karma turned to look at Foyego who was sitting on the ground.
Eventually, Karma nodded.
Slowly raising their hands, Zuo Chi's bodies at the same time had a rich and extreme soul power burst out, and streams of pale white light flew out from their fingertips, and then merged into the pale blue soul light cluster.
Foyego's hand was clenched so tightly that he couldn't even hold his breath completely.
He didn't dare to make the slightest move, he just stared at what was happening in front of him in a daze, he was afraid that he would affect Zuo Chi and the others, and thus lose the only chance to meet Isolde.
On one side, with the majestic soul power of the four people of Zuo Chi pouring into the blue light cluster, the originally thin light cluster was gradually becoming condensed, and at the same time, the light cluster began to agitate, gradually changing in shape.
Mysterious and ancient spells began to come from Karma's mouth, and cyan mantras flew out of her body, turning into a protective umbrella to envelop the soul in front of her.
Finally, with the help of Zuo Chi and the other four demigods, a beautiful shadow gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Dressed in a gorgeous court dress, with her long hair coiled up and delicate jewelry, her expression was serene and gentle, her eyelashes fluttered gently, as if she would open her eyes in the next second.
Her body was very illusory, as if it could dissipate at any moment.
Zuochi motioned to the other three, who all backed away at the same time, leaving the place to Isolde and Foyego.
Staring at what was happening in front of him, Foyego was stunned at first, and when he reacted to what was happening in front of him, his hands suddenly rubbed together on his body.
He struggled to get up from the ground, panicked and straightened his torn coat, and even his broken shoulder was forcibly straightened back by him.
Immediately after, Foyego's only remaining arm trembled, and slowly stretched out towards Isolde in front of him.
"Isolde."
Foyego's voice was extremely thick with a tremor, and his eyes looked at the figure in front of him without blinking.
As if hearing the familiar call, Isolde's eyelashes fluttered a few times before slowly opening his eyes.
Isolde, who had just recovered, surveyed everything around her in confusion, and she slowly tilted her head to look at the source of the call.
Now, after thousands of years, and after countless efforts, Foyego finally met his queen again.
"Foyego."
Isurde whispered to Foyego's name.
"I'm here, Isold, I'm here."
Foyego's teeth clenched into his lower lip, and his lips were almost snapped by him.
Isolde looked at Foyego at this time, at his broken body and haggard face, and her hand gently touched Foyego's face:
"Life must have made you suffer a lot in my absence."
"No"
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Foyego's eyes, and he shook his head desperately: "I'm fine, don't you see that I've already resurrected you, I'm strong now, Isolde." ”
Now, when facing Isolde, Foyego is no longer the arrogant and tattered king who controls everything, he is just her husband.
In front of Isolde, Foyego always reveals his most vulnerable and softest side.
And Isolde, his queen, she will not be like the ministers, she will always focus first on his own feelings, not on the external things.
Isulde chuckled and shook his head: "I am your queen, what are you like, can I still not understand?" ”
Foyego tilted his head and placed his face in the palm of Isolde's hand, his gaze never taking off Isolde's face.
"Isurd, I promised you that I would resurrect you and make you reunited with me again. But now. Will you blame me?"
What Foyego was referring to was naturally that he was defeated at the hands of Zuochi and others, and he couldn't stand with Isolde.
It's just that, in the face of Foyego's self-reproachful words, Isurde's expression is still so gentle.
She looked at Foyego and met him in the eye: "Foyego, I have loved you until the last moment, is that not enough?" ”
"We loved each other once, we still do, and that's enough. We've done too much killing."
Isolde's body was beginning to flicker and dark, and her voice was starting to grow soft.
Just as Foyego always looked at Isurd, Isurd's gaze never left Foyego.
"Let me rest in peace, Foyego, for to live in such a form will scorch my soul."
"No, Isurd."
Foyego shouted Isolde's name in a frenzied manner.
The edges of Isolde's body began to glow white, and she smiled, trying to raise her hands to hold Foyego's face, but he couldn't do it in his soul state.
She leaned down slowly, a little tear streaming down her eyes, and she kissed Foyego softly on the lips.
Tick~
Teardrops dripped on the ground and hit the rocks with a crisp sound; On one side, the dance of the king and queen on the music box seems to have reached its climax.
Eventually, Isolde and Foyego's lips met, and Isolde's body completely turned into white light and dissipated into the air.
At the last moment, Isolde's last words came to Foyego's ears with a breeze.
"After holding on for so long, it's time to wake up, my king."
The white light completely dissipated, and many soul fragments flew up from where Isurd had just been, like flowing sparks, to various parts of the Runeterra.
From this point on, these souls were no longer mixed with Isold's soul breath, and they belonged only to their original masters.
It wasn't until Isolde's figure completely dissipated in front of Foyego that the sparkle in his eyes completely dimmed.
Thump~
Foyego fell to his knees, his head tilted, and his hand raised to touch where Isolde had just been.
"Isolde."
For a long time, Foyego remained as motionless as a dead tree.
Finally, Foyego fell to his knees, his hands clutching the sharp stones, and his cry was heartbreaking.
Isolde's figure and voice kept echoing in his head, and after all the effort he had put in, he had actually met Isold, but it was only for a short time.
He really wanted to stay with Isolde, but now he also knew that forcibly keeping Isolde by his side would not make her happy, but would be extremely miserable.
"Stampede~~"
The familiar footsteps sounded again, and at this time, Zuochi came to Foyego's face, and he just looked at Foyego quietly without interrupting him.
Gradually, Foyego's crying began to slow down, and he raised his head and looked at Zuochi with completely devoid eyes.
"Thank you." Foyego said softly.
Zuo Chi shook his head and didn't say anything.
Foyego carefully picked up the music box on the ground and handed it to Zuochi.
"Grant my last request." There was a hint of pleading in Foyego's voice.
Zuo Chi took the music box and looked at Foyego: "You say." ”
"Bury me and Isolde together."
"Hmm."
Zuo Chi nodded.
Just as Zuo Chi's words fell, Foyego suddenly began to laugh wildly.
Again, hot tears rolled down his eyes, and he raised the Sword of the Ruined King in his hand.
"It's a pity that I don't realize until now how outrageous what I'm doing now. Calista, I was wrong, but I can't get anything back. ”
"Isold, my queen, wait for me."
Burst!
In the next moment, the blade of the Sword of the Ruined King stabbed into Foyego's chest, and the blade pierced through his body, piercing his heart completely.
Perhaps, self-determination is the last dignity of this king.
His gaze flickered, and Foyego fell to the ground and slowly closed his eyes.
Until the last moment of his life, his eyes never left the music box in Zuo Chi's hand.
At this moment, none of the demigods present made a sound, and they all looked at Foyego lying on the ground silently.
As gods, they will never understand why mortal love can make people so crazy.
Zuo Chi stood in front of Foyego, his eyes were complicated and he looked at the music box in his hand, and his heart was mixed.
Zuochi had to admit that although Foyego was not a qualified monarch, he was a qualified husband for Isolde.
Although Foyego was born into the royal family, his mother died in childbirth, his father was very old, and the nobles of the royal palace never looked down on him and no one approved of him.
Over time, in the darkness of his life, Foyego's personality became paranoid and selfish.
Calista was the first light for Foyego, and she took on the role of older sister.
However, Calista is too obsessed with correcting Foyego, and instead of giving Foyego recognition, she has been trying to correct and undo his mistakes.
After the death of the eldest brother, Foyego was crowned, and at that time, the people of the entire kingdom were not optimistic about Foyego.
Until one day, Isolde appeared.
She was like the bright sun, illuminating the dark life of Foyego.
She gave Foyego tenderness and love, she gave Foyego recognition, she was gentle and beautiful, and she even helped him to govern the kingdom in an orderly manner.
Isurde was the one who pulled Foyego out of the darkness, and she gave Foyego a true love that he never had.
Just ask, who would refuse such a queen?
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Foyego fell into complete madness after Isolde's death.
It's just that, in any case, Foyego's madness has caused great suffering to others, which is also the reason why he was defeated.
At this time, Yorick, who was armed with a shovel, came to Zuochi's side.
Yorick's expression was solemn and solemn, and he held a simple book full of names in his hand.
Yorick looked at Foyego in front of him, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Let me bury him." ”
"A thousand years ago, I met him and told him about the death of his queen. Now, it's up to me to arrange what happens after their deaths. ”
Zuo Chi looked at Yorick: "Yorick, thank you." ”
Yorick shook his head, "That's what I'm doing, and that's what the Misty Maiden is asking for. ”
Zuo Chi looked at Foyego in front of him in a daze, and he suddenly whispered to Yorick on the side:
"How different the world would have been if that knife had found its mark." (This is the first sentence of the first chapter of the official version of the Curse of Ruin physical book.) )
"Huh?" Yorick didn't understand Zuoike's words.
However, Zuo Chi didn't explain much, just smiled lightly at Yorick.
Yes, if the Assassin's poisonous dagger that was supposed to be stabbed at Foyego had not deviated from the direction of the Assassin's poisonous dagger that was supposed to pierce Foyego at the banquet where Foyego had died, then Camavia's throne might have been inherited by Calista, who was a princess.
Isolde hadn't died, and Calista wouldn't have been forced to go out to find Fuguang Island; If Fuguang Island had not been discovered, the curse of ruin would not have happened; If the Curse of Ruin hadn't happened, Tyrus wouldn't have left Fuguang Island with Rhyz and Gendakaya, the founder of the Sentinels of Light, and the world's runes wouldn't have flowed to the Runeteres on a large scale; If the world runes were not lost, the rune war would not have happened; If the Rune Wars hadn't happened, Demacia wouldn't have appeared; Demacia did not appear.
At the beginning, Calista's spear that flew the dagger seemed to have the power to travel through heaven and earth, and completely changed the course of the world.
There is another thing that Zuochi never told Foyego that during the Darkspawn War, the king of a kingdom had given his little prince to a Darkspawn as a servant in order to save the lives of his people, and the prince later not only learned blood magic, but also killed the dying Darkborn.
This person is Vladimir!
And the kingdom from which Vladimir was born was none other than Camavia of Foyego!
Vladimir can be said to be the uncle of Foyego.
In the past, even though they were separated by many generations, Vladimir in Noxus has always been connected to Kamavia.
It's just that Foyego, who only knows that he is obsessed with women all day long, gradually ignores the connection with this uncle, and finally completely disconnects.
What Foyego didn't know was that if there was anyone in this world who could heal the dying Isurd, perhaps Vladimir, who was proficient in blood magic, was one of his few options
After all, that's how the dead Sain came about.
It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs in this world.

Just when Zuo Chi was stunned, a familiar blue light curtain appeared in front of Zuo Chi, and at the same time pulled his thoughts back to reality.
