Chapter 900 Competition and Accident

Chapter 900 Competition and Accident

He held the advanced version of the Ascension Potion in his fingertips. In the faint light coming through the window, the potion flashed with golden light as bright as the stars.

Under Camille's gaze, this is not only a gold mine, but also the dye that dyes the Firos family golden. It is the fuel that propels Firos from a world-renowned wealthy businessman and a leading wealthy family to the number one force in Rune Continent.

She was once again thankful that the Philos family had obtained a talent like Seville and had made good use of it. As for the gradual reversal of priority, she did not care. Even if the Philos family was ultimately only the second family under the Seville family, it was much better than being isolated in a corner.

"Supplied internally first?" Camille suggested upon learning that only Ji Xing could make this thing at present, and only a few bottles could be made a day, and this kind of thing was only suitable for high-end products.

"Can I take this medicine?"

"It should be possible." Ji Xing nodded and said, "The Ascension Potion strengthens all aspects, including the heart, blood, and brain. In your case... I have to be by your side when you take it. It's no problem to supply it internally first. We can hold off for a month and train an elite army first.

By the way, please find me a site. I want to build a 'Sevier School of Magic', enroll students from all over the continent and popularize magic."

Camille was startled. It was not surprising that Ji Xing, who had accepted an apprentice, Qiyana, was going to continue to train his own magic team, but... establishing a magic school? Or even... popularizing magic?

She didn't ask any more questions, leaving professional matters to professionals. She only said, "The land resources in Shuangcheng are very tight right now, but if you need it, other councillors' families should be willing to sell us some. How big a place do you want?"

Ji Xing thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I will just move an island near Shuangcheng. By then, I can use magic to build the building frame. Please help me recruit some skilled craftsmen to make some decorations."

Camille: “…”

"Is your magic capable of doing this? It seems that your travels to various countries have brought you a lot of benefits."

Camille still remembered the surprise she felt when Ji Xing first displayed magic and single-handedly destroyed Gangplank's fleet. It all seemed like yesterday, and indeed it had not been long. However, that was still barely within the scope of an 'ordinary powerful' wizard, but... moving islands?

This is already divine power!

But she doesn’t think Ji-sung is exaggerating.

The two exchanged some details, and Camille stood up and said, "In less than a year, all the 'bold words' you once made have become reality. The Philos family and I are honored to accompany you towards glory."

Ji Xing also stood up and shook her hand, smiling, "Mrs. Gray also helped me a lot."

Camille nodded slightly and turned to work on the "work" that Ji Xing brought this time.

Just as Camille dislikes Qiyana, Qiyana also feels uncomfortable with Camille, who has a queen-like demeanor.

After she left, he asked with interest, "Sevier, what other 'bold words' have you ever made?"

"It's not a boast, it's just a goal." Ji Xing explained, "I told her shortly after I joined the Philos family that I would be under the command of Philos in the early stage, but I would gradually become equal to Philos and even surpass her to become the person in power.

What she meant just now was that she acknowledged that Philos would officially be a force under my command from now on."

"...Is this true?" Qiyana said in disbelief: "I don't think that metal woman is willing to be someone else's subordinate."

"It has nothing to do with you, so just stay here and copy your knowledge of magic veins."

Qiyana's expression suddenly fell.

Ji Xing looked at Kai'Sa and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see Jax. He arrived sooner than I expected, and he must have been waiting for me in Piltover for quite some time."

Kai'Sa paused, and then remained silent, leaving only Qiyana who wanted to say something bitterly and wanted to go, but was only left with the back of her head by the two men. She could only give up on herself and throw out her "homework" and start copying.

……

In a private room of a pub on Star Street.

"See? The strong ones can sense each other. Only the foolish weak ones would worry if he didn't notice us."

Atreus looked at Jax with a dark face, then looked at the two people who walked into the private room. He was speechless for a moment and could only raise his head and drink the glass of wine.

"But the weak still have their reasons for existing. At least they are well-informed." Jax continued to finish off the enemy and looked at Ji Xing and said, "Compared to a year ago, you have really changed a lot."

Ji Xing smiled and sat down next to the two of them, saying, "Well, it's been a long time. You gave me quite a 'scare' the last time we met."

"Yeah, you were also the weak one last time." Jax deliberately emphasized the word 'also'.

“That’s about it, Jax!” Atreus said angrily. “We don’t know who will win or lose in this competition. You just caught Baron Nash earlier than me. Do you want to regard that victory as a lifetime honor?!”

Jax said disdainfully: "The weak always fail to see the difference. No matter what the content of this competition is, the winner will be either me or him, and never you, Atreus."

Atreus' immunity was getting higher and higher. He paused when he heard that and just glanced at Ji Xing. Jax rarely praised others with his foul mouth, but it seemed that he put Ji Xing and him on the same level just now?

Although it was their first meeting, Ji Xing was able to communicate with them without any obstacles: "It sounds like... the purpose of your meeting with me is a 'competition'? What is it about? I haven't agreed to join yet."

"A true man's competition, you won't refuse it." Atreus said, "The competition between the three of us will determine who will be the strongest human in Runeterra. Do you want to miss it?"

"It doesn't sound very attractive." Ji Xing smiled helplessly: "And it's just the three of us, without Ryze the Mage?"

"Rune Mage?" Jax said. "The one who uses world runes and the one who doesn't are two different creatures. The former should not be underestimated. As for the latter..."

He didn't continue speaking, but his attitude was obvious. Ryze, who didn't use world runes, was no match for Ji Xing after Ji Xing condensed the first precision rune.

Atreus continued, "That guy won't use runes in a competition. You mages are always unhappy. You are not interested in the competition? Why don't you listen to the content first?"

"Hunting the Jellu Garden - Jella." He said in a low voice: "You must have heard of this twisted creature born from the power of the world rune. She has devoured and killed many innocent people over the years. Because she moves in secret, she can appear in many places with flowers and plants, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find her.

We agreed on a time to set out together, and whoever finds and kills her first will be the winner. "

“It sounds even more boring,” Ji Xing said.

Standing behind Ji Xing, Kasa seemed to be ignored by the three people, but since she entered the room, she was enveloped by a suffocating feeling.

The three people in front of him seemed to be chatting and agreeing to compete, but in fact they had been competing for a long time. The momentum emitted by the collision made Kassadin feel that he was in the despair of being swallowed by the void when he was a child.

No, maybe it can't be considered a rivalry, but it's just the aura that naturally emanates from the three of them when they meet, without restraining their strength and testing each other.

After adapting for a while, she finally calmed her heartbeat and looked at Jax, who was covered in a thick cloak. From him, Kassa did feel a familiar feeling.

At this time, Jax also looked at her. Under the unclear shadow, it seemed that there were five purple eyes staring at Kassadin, making Kassadin feel cold and the void tissue on her body began to become restless!

Fortunately, before she lost control, Jax looked away and asked, "Sevier, have you been to the void passage in Icathia?"

"Yeah, I went there a few days ago."

"Did you notice that thing?"

"Do you know what that is?"

"I don't know, I call her the Void Queen." Jax said in a more serious tone: "When the void passage there was just reopened, I went there and had a fight with the Void Prophet Malzahar who opened the passage, but that bastard escaped.

And he was able to escape because a Void Queen that looked like a female human walked out of the Void Channel at that time. I spent a lot of effort to kill it, so I didn't have time to worry about the scraps. "

Kaisa was startled, and understood some other meaning from Jax's words. Could it be that...

"Humph, the void also has wisdom. After suffering a loss once, it is preparing to prepare a big one this time." Jax snorted coldly: "Wait until the new Queen of the Void is born, it will be the prelude to disaster."

It was the first time Kaisa had heard of such a thing. Her blood ran cold, but she couldn't help asking, "You said the passage... was opened by humans? Void Prophet Malzahar... And, you know me?"

"Ah, I saw you kill the first void monster with a dagger." Jax said casually, "I am surprised that you can still live until now. It's great... Maybe that ugly void prophet was scared by me."

It is not easy to get a "very good" evaluation from him, but at this moment, Kaisa's heart was surging, and she could not imagine that there was such a "fate" between her and Jax.

She is not a weak little girl, or she has not been one for a long time. She will not complain about Jax not saving her when he saw her.

But she didn't understand... "You have far more power than me, why haven't you tried to block the void passage of Icathia for more than ten years? Aren't you a warrior against the void?"

"Hmph, little girl, what do you know?" Jax said disdainfully, "Do you know how many void passages there are on land and sea? The one in Icathia is just child's play. The Frost Witch in Freljord is almost unable to hold on. There are monsters in that passage that are more terrifying than the Void Queen."

The power of a single person is limited. Even if he is very strong, when disaster strikes, he will only use himself to fight the strongest monster instead of fighting endless monsters in advance.

Even if this will sacrifice many people, it is nothing compared to the whole world.

"Freljord, Frost Witch..."

Kassadin murmured, "My understanding of the void and my power are still far from enough?"

"Weapon Master, can you teach me the power to fight against the void?" she asked solemnly.

"I don't take fools." Jax: "Please pray that you can improve to the level I want."

Ji Xing could hear that Jax still had a different view of Kaisa, perhaps because he had witnessed Kaisa's transformation from a little girl who could only cry to where she is today, or maybe because the two of them were indeed of the same kind in a sense.

But Freljord... the Ice Witch Lissandra? Jax mentioned her in a serious tone, and it seemed that she was quite powerful.

Jax is more knowledgeable than anyone else, and his knowledge of the void is what Ji Xing needs.

So Ji Xing thought about it and changed the subject: "I can agree to the competition, but I suggest changing the content."

Atreus perked up: "You say? Don't be too simple, it will be hard to tell the winner."

"Have you heard of the Soul-Eating Night? It's less than three months away from now. Let's see who can kill the Ruined King first!" Ji Xing said with a smile.

"Oh? Shadow Isles?"

Viego, who is organizing an army of undead in Shadow Island and preparing to pursue his love once again, has no idea that he has become the target of three people.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

What the three of them didn't know was that something unexpected was brewing.

……

……

Gray plains, messy whispers.

A ghostly mist entwined my body, and I listened to orders unconsciously, obeying the king's orders like other ghosts.

Who is the king?

No matter who it is, I will obey.

No! I am...

Wait, who am I? Where is this?

Oh, I seem to be... killed.

How much time has passed?

It was very chaotic and confusing, until a feeling of anger and unwillingness ignited the ghost fog around me, and several figures gradually became clear in front of me.

Miss Fortune... the mage of Piltover?

That’s right! I’m Planck!

I was killed?! No, I am the Lord of Bilgewater! The King of Pirates! How could I be killed by them?!

Everything in front of him gradually became clear, and Planck's body gradually re-condensed into shape, standing out among the neatly lined up ghosts like a crane among chickens.

Is this the world after death?

But he saw that in front of the queue, there were some humanoid beings who were the same as himself and very different from the ghosts. They congratulated in unison, saying "New companions and new undead generals have been born."

The guy who accepted their congratulations stood in the center. His body was made of metal and his eyes emitted a cold light from the underworld. Just by seeing him, Planck felt the urge to worship him.

Is this the King of the Underworld? No, even if it is the King of the Underworld, I, Gangplank, will not be inferior to him!

Soon, Planck knelt down obediently in front of the other party to express his submission.

Because he knew the other party's identity, a legend, a taboo, an existence that brought disaster to Runeterra twice - Mordekaiser!

……

“Are you leaving Bilgewater?”

At the Bilgewater harbor, a boatman reeking of fish is freezing and sealing fish, packing them into universal capsules. His movements are skillful, but his eyes are as dull as a zombie.

"Another Harrowing is coming, and Bilgewater is completely Sarah's world."

His name is Walter, and he is a close subordinate of Planck. Previously, he was an undercover agent responsible for infiltrating other gangs and guarding against rebellions. Because of this, few people knew about the relationship between him and Planck, and now those who knew the relationship are all dead.

For him, Gangplank's death was like the sky falling. For nearly a year, he had been expecting Gangplank's old subordinates or other captains to overthrow Sarah's rule. For this reason, he had been hiding himself, but he became more and more desperate.

The wealth and convenience brought by the universal capsule made the throne of Sarah, supported by Seville, more and more stable. The different way of ruling also made Bilgewater Port less and less a paradise for criminals.

This place is doomed, there is no hope!

Walter hesitated for a long time between a meaningless assassination and saving his life, and finally made up his mind - let's go.

But just after he finished his work for the day, a strange whisper suddenly sounded in his ears, like a devil, making him dizzy.

But contrary to expectations, he could actually understand the meaning. A gleam of light gradually appeared in his dead fish-like eyes, and he looked around vigilantly in astonishment.

After making sure that there was no one around, he called out in surprise and enthusiasm: "Captain Planck?!"
