Chapter 872 Pale Lady
Chapter 872 Pale Lady
"I have loved you till the very end, isn't that enough?"
Amid the cold words, Viego saw his lover stand up again, no, fly up. There was no trace of warm smile in her peerless face, as if she had turned into a vengeful spirit that was awakened because she didn't want to escape death.
She raised her King's Sword, pierced her chest in an instant, and nailed herself to the stone pillar of the secret treasure house!
Shadow Isles, the magnificent showroom originally used to display ancient treasures had turned into a bottomless pit in an explosion thousands of years ago. Sitting on the throne in the center of the pit, the Ruined King raised his head.
In his right hand, he held the Blade of the Ruined King that had pierced his chest, and his left hand was covering the unhealable triangular wound in the middle of his chest.
He had forgotten the origin of the wound, but the pain had haunted him for thousands of years.
It hurts, it hurts too much!
It is especially severe around the Soul-Eating Night!
"Still haven't found you."
"But Isolde, I know you are here!"
He stood up, and the black fog within a thousand-meter radius gathered and dispersed. His pale face was filled with sorrow as he looked into the distance in the direction of the other side of the sea.
"Isold! Why...why are you hiding from me?!"
I have lost my love forever, and everything I see is in ruins.
A dim white light spread from the tip of his sword to the hilt. His wrist rotated slightly, and the blazing sword wind caused chaos within a radius of one kilometer!
The undead spirits of the Shadow Isles seemed to sense their king's anger and became restless again.
The Ruined King stepped into the darkness.
……
"He won't stop until he finds me. I am no longer Isolde, and he is no longer the king of the Kingdom of Kamavia."
In Bilgewater, Isolde looked at the people around her who were surprised to hear that it was she who stabbed the Ruined King to death with a single sword, and sighed, "After obtaining my power, he will only expand the Black Mist to the entire continent. The Black Mist is the source of his power, and every undead soul increases his power."
The birth of Shadow Island filled in the last piece of the puzzle. Senna said in a low voice: "Then we must not let him get you, but... why are you in my body? When?"
Although she was asking, she had actually recalled some details that she had forgotten.
The first time I was attacked by the Black Mist, I was in a shipwreck that drifted with the waves. It was the Black Mist shipwreck that drifted with the current after Bilgewater was attacked. Just when I was about to be transformed into undead along with other creatures around me by the Black Mist, a voice suddenly reminded me to "run quickly", and I was saved.
"You have remembered it." As expected, Isolde said, "Yes, I was attached to a rag doll on that ship at the beginning. Because of your aura, I possessed you. That is just a part of my soul, which does not have the ability to survive independently for a long time. I am sorry that I have brought you too much danger over the years."
"So now you..." Senna's expression changed slightly as she thought: "Could it be that..."
“Yes, a part of my soul is still trapped in Thresh’s lantern.”
Senna suddenly realized why she was still alive. She was definitely a little bit repulsive, after all, another person's soul had entered her body, causing her to be constantly attacked by the black fog over the years.
But she was more grateful. Without Isolde, she would have died twice. She looked at Lucian and said, "Before killing the Ruined King, you can continue to stay in my body. We will do our best to protect you."
Isolde's soul ball flickered and asked, "Where is Mr. Mage?"
"Of course I have no objection." Ji Xing said, "I just felt your presence and asked you to come out and meet everyone."
"Mr. Mage is a unique person." Isolde commented: "I have seen the ability of the living to control the dead before. There are shepherds of souls on the Shadow Isles, but they are all people who awakened special powers under special circumstances. Mr. Mage was able to learn it by himself, and it seems that it only took him one night."
Without waiting for Ji Xing to answer, she went back into Senna's body. The others were not as knowledgeable as she was after thousands of years of experience, so they were just surprised and did not understand the caution in her words.
Ji Xing just smiled and saw Senna asking him for confirmation: "Mr. Mage, can we get your help? Lucian and I will contact other Sentinels and seek help from others. We should launch a general attack on the Shadow Isles before the Harrowing of next year. How should we contact you then?"
Ji Xing said, "Ask Sarah, or go to Piltover to find Sewell. Well, that's my name, you don't have to call me Mr. Mage all the time."
"Mr. Sewell..." Lucian felt vaguely that he had heard this name somewhere before. On the way? He nodded to Ji Xing to express his gratitude, and then looked at Sarah and the others: "Are you willing to join the Sentinels of Light? In such a special situation, the headquarters should take out all the holy stone weapons."
"Hmm... I need to think about this. We've been fighting the undead all night and are very tired. Let's find a place to rest first." Sarah said after thinking for a while.
"Olaf really wants to join!" Olaf said excitedly, "I will be part of the fight against the undead, but I will not act with the mages. And I am from the Ice Queen's tribe, so I cannot join you, the Sentinels of Light. I only have an axe!"
The Ice Queen? Sejuani of Winter's Claw?
Senna said, "Thank you. Maybe we will go to the ice field to visit the Ice Queen in a while."
Olaf looked at her and Lucian. "Oh, then you better prepare ten cotton coats!"
The Freljord is extremely cold with temperatures as low as minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. It has always been the place where the Icemen go south, and few other people go there.
As Lucian and his wife continued to introduce the current situation of the Sentinel of Light, everyone left the area of the Undead attack that was slowly recovering.
They returned to the cliff mountain at the east end. Because the black fog blocked their way well, the environment here was fine, just a little chaotic.
Ji Xing and the others went back to rest, while Sarah and Raven turned to the temple of the Bearded Lady. The pendant given by Illaoi came in handy after all. Before the war, she arranged many crew members who were not good at fighting and some guys with special identities and circumstances during the evacuation to the temple.
Although this was scolded by the sea beast priest Illaoi - the temple of Nagakabouros is not your nursery or something like that.
The crew members who were placed in the temple were pleasantly surprised to meet Sarah Raven and asked about the battle situation last night.
Sarah said a few simple words of comfort, glanced over, and suddenly frowned: "Lawu, where is Nofei? Why isn't she here?"
The female pirate froze and said in panic, "I almost forgot. Yesterday, that girl left a note saying she was going to fight alongside you, and then she disappeared! Didn't you see her, Captain?"
Sarah's frown deepened.
……
Luxury villa.
Ji Xing, who had just finished taking a shower and changed into a set of clean clothes prepared in advance, turned around and heard the door being kicked open.
"Sevier! There's something wrong with that girl Nophi. She didn't follow my people to the temple last night. We couldn't find her anywhere!"
"It's as expected. Why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Xing glanced at Sarah who was in a hurry and said with a smile, "It seems that the person Nagakabouros doesn't like may not be me. If he can't find it, then he can't find it."
"...Tsk, I don't know what that guy's purpose is." Sarah snorted, sat down on the bed, yawned tiredly, and then said with energy: "By the way, you promised me last night to try to teach me magic. Now I'm not in the mood to sleep, how about..."
"Right now?"
"Hmm." Sarah gestured, "You were born with magic, weren't you? How and where did you learn it?"
"It was a coincidence." Ji Xing said, "When I was about seven or eight years old, I was walking on the street and suddenly met an old beggar. He grabbed my hand and said that I was the only 'magic genius' in the world and insisted on selling me a magic book.
At that time, I was still a poor man from Zaun. I emptied my five copper rings and got the book. From then on, I couldn't stop. "
Sarah opened her mouth slightly, looking stunned. After a few seconds, she punched Ji Xing angrily: "Do you think I'm a fool?!"
Snapped--
Ji Xing caught her punch firmly and twisted it hard. Sarah screamed and tumbled. She was grabbed and pressed on the bed. Ji Xing's other hand slapped her on the butt.
"Tsk, it feels good."
"…Hey! Seville?!"
At the same time, Raven appeared at the door, staring at the scene in amazement, and took two steps back and said, "Ahem, you guys continue..."
“Is it really okay to continue?” Ji Xing smiled and said, “After all, I don’t even know if you are a man or a woman… although this touch feels very real.”
Sarah stopped struggling, and Raven, who was smiling awkwardly, returned to his normal expression.
Another Sarah walked around Raven and into the room, asking, "How did you find out? No one has ever been able to see through my disguise."
“Feel it.” Ji Xing let go.
Sarah on the bed stood up, more Sarahs came in, and Raven's appearance unconsciously twisted into Sarah's.
Dozens of Sarahs filled Ji Xing's room, observing Ji Xing's reaction from various angles and with thousands of expressions and postures. The only thing that remained unchanged was the quiet and creepy eyes.
"It looks like a female." Ji Xing said, "What's your name? Nofei? Don't worry, your magic of transforming into a clone is indeed as real as the original, but I... I have a sixth sense."
"Sixth sense?" said half of Sarah.
"You can call me 'the Pale Lady,'" Sarah, the other half, responded.
"Is this how you plan to chat with me?" Ji Xing smiled and said, "And... Ms. Pale? I haven't heard of this name. Am I ignorant or are you hiding a more famous name?"
"I've almost forgotten my real name. I usually use... probably Leblanc." The Sarahs disappeared one by one, and finally only the one in front of Ji Xing was left. She sat opposite him and said, "Compared to the Pale Lady, you have probably never heard of her."
No, I really know this.
It turned out to be Leblanc, the Deceiver!
Ji Xing suddenly understood, but said calmly, "When I first came to Bilgewater, I met Two Coats, and they told me that a mage of my caliber had come to Bilgewater.
I can only say that the devil is worthy of being a devil. The casual emphasis on equality in his words set me up for a trap. If I really thought that your magic level was the same as mine, I don’t know how I would suffer. ”
Very strong. From what Ji Xing has seen so far, the ceiling of her strength is still the Weapon Master whom he had a brief glimpse of that night, but Leblanc's level is probably not much different. She is at the same level as the Demon Tam, and her methods must be very strange, otherwise she would not be worthy of her title of Leblanc, the Deceiver.
Leblanc's lips curled up into a smile. "Don't underestimate yourself. You are indeed a unique magical prodigy in the world. You just lack some systematic learning. If you make up for the gap, Rune Continent will soon have a new mage who can fight demigods and darkborn with a mortal body."
She took out a document from her arms and handed it to Ji Xing: "This is a gift for you."
Ji Xing took it and said in surprise: "Noxus School of Magic's... admission book?"
"Noxus has always been hungry for mages, and the scope of recruitment is not limited to the country." Leblanc said: "You should be able to obtain this thing, and the academy has the knowledge you need most."
“Indeed.” Ji Xing considered for a moment and looked at Leblanc: “The Faceless Man of the Trifaree Council?”
Ever since Swain took control of Noxus, all power in Noxus has been vested in the Council of Three Trifarion. Apart from Commander Swain and General Darius, the 'Faceless Man' is the most mysterious among the three, and his true identity is still unknown to the outside world.
"The Faceless Man is sometimes me, and sometimes someone else." Leblanc replied.
Ji Xing hummed and looked at the entry again: "What do you want?"
"It's simple. Help me deal with Swain when necessary." LeBlanc said directly.
Ji Xing smiled and shook his head: "There are many ways to get into the Noxian School of Magic."
"But you, or the Ferros family, may not have the opportunity to ease the relationship with Swain. He just doesn't have the time to deal with you at the moment." Leblanc also smiled and said, "You should still remember the name 'Justo'."
"The war mason who went to Piltover to steal the universal capsule?" Ji Xing frowned.
"Before he became a warmason, he was a trusted subordinate of Swain." LeBlanc said, "If it weren't for this relationship, I don't think Swain would have sent Katarina over. When he finds out that you are a powerful mage, what measures do you think he will take?"
"The Noxian commander-in-chief should be more open-minded." Ji Xing shook his head and said, "A few minor grievances cannot be regarded as mortal hatred. It's not that serious."
Leblanc was silent. She was good at acting and could tell that Ji Xing really didn't care. She didn't know whether to say that Ji Xing was bold or optimistic.
After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you another piece of information as a favor. Don't go to the Shadow Isles unprepared. As long as you are careful enough, the Ruined King may not be a threat, but the most dangerous thing on the Shadow Isles right now is not the Undead.
The Spider God, Vilemaw, currently dwells in the shadows of the undead."
Spider God? Ji Xing narrowed his eyes.
It must be said that he actually had the idea of going to the Shadow Isles and trying to kill the Ruined King. It was not for anything else, but his Blade of the Ruined King was attractive enough.
It seems that we have to think about it in the long term.
He looked at the magic academy enrollment book in his hand for the third time, raised his head and smiled: "Thank you for your reminder, Pale Lady, see you in Noxus."
LeBlanc smiled and nodded: "I will look forward to seeing you, Sewell."
Her body disappeared again. Perhaps the real body had always been in Noxus, and those who came to Bilgewater were all clones.
At this moment, Sarah rushed in and said in a hurried tone:
"Sevier! There's something wrong with that girl Nophi. She didn't follow my people to the temple last night. We couldn't find her anywhere!"
The scene from ten minutes ago reappeared.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "It's expected. Just let her be and ignore her."
He put away the entry book and looked at the scar on his right hand caused by Thresh's sickle.
A sugar-coated bullet?
Able to eat, dare to eat, and have a great appetite!
Because Leblanc didn't know that after the Soul-Eating Night, Ji Xing had become more confident!
I failed to update twice today as I am sorting out the information about Shadow Isles and Noxus... There is so much information to read in the Alliance volume, including various heroic stories, short stories, CGs, and conjectures. And many of them need to be read a second or third time after reading them once. Take your time.
