Chapter 871 Isolde
Chapter 871 Isolde
"Oh! The strongest warrior in the icefield!"
"Oh! He's Olaf!"
"No enemy escapes his axe!"
Who is singing?
This was the first doubt that Ji Xing had when he arrived at the slaughterhouse dock shrouded in black fog.
Oh, he is Olaf. Ji Xing soon got the answer from the song and saw a figure fighting with the undead in the black fog.
The pirates and warriors who were here to delay the black fog according to Sarah's orders should have been repelled long ago. It is unknown how many lives were left behind, because the dead would join the army of the undead.
Today, this place should have become a forbidden place for the living, but there is a warrior fighting in the black fog.
Olaf was originally very disappointed for not finding the warrior who tamed the three-headed sea monster, but the arrival of the black fog gave him a surprise.
I don’t know how long it has been since the last time, but he once again found a chance to die in battle with honor!
He was singing a war song he had written for himself. The lyrics were simple and crude, but the momentum contained in it was greater than any other war song. He was never afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would not have the chance to sing this song in battle, and would really end up lying in bed and dying of illness as predicted!
A glowing mist suddenly enveloped him, and the goblins in the mist surrounded him hungrily. A thin layer of ice formed on his frost scale armor, and the deadly touch of the undead made him feel as painful as burning.
But the berserker only gets his blood boiling.
He bit the muscles in his mouth, scarlet blood foam appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he swung the axe like a madman, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
The axe blessed with the true ice power of the Icefield Tribe possesses a power that even the undead fear. The undead screamed as they were chopped to pieces by him. He slaughtered in the black fog as if he had entered an uninhabited area!
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and behind him came the sounds of collapsing beams and breaking fences, followed by fist-sized stones hitting him like a rainstorm.
Olaf turned his head nonchalantly, then his eyes lit up and he laughed wildly.
He knew he had met the best opponent.
It was that Kraken, the Kraken that he had chased here from Freljord by boat, the Kraken that he had spent three hours dissecting open!
Under the power of the black fog, the more than 20-meter-long sea monster turned into the strongest undead, and let out a heart-shaking roar. Its ghostly tentacles were raised high and smashed to the ground with a roar, turning an entire street into ruins!
"Olaf will kill you again!"
Facing this monster that ordinary people would avoid, Olaf rushed forward enthusiastically. But just after he rushed forward for more than ten meters, he suddenly saw a flash of lightning surging around him, clearing out all the undead around him!
"...Hmm? Magic?" He turned around and saw Ji Xing coming with a lantern: "Mage?"
Ji Xing smiled at him and continued to control the thunder to clean up the undead. Finally, he charged up his strength to strike, and the lightning column like a super-electromagnetic cannon pierced through the undead sea monster that was as big as a giant wheel!
Olaf stared at all this in a daze, gradually becoming overwhelmed with pain: "No——!"
Such a God-given opportunity was missed in such a ridiculous way! He felt that he was one step closer to that unfortunate ending! Where did such a powerful wizard come from? I hate wizards! Just like that damn frost witch in the ice field!
"Hey, strong warrior." Ji Xing came over and greeted Olaf, "I'm going to reinforce other places. Do you need help?"
Olaf's eyes lighted up again: "You're right, there are undeads everywhere now!"
……
When the morning sun shines, Bilgewater, which has been dark all night, sees light again.
The black fog retreated to where it came from. Sarah stopped tiredly in front of a door and frowned as she looked at the cold, stiff bodies of the family inside.
"It's good enough." Raven stood behind her in tattered clothes. "I have experienced six Harrowing Nights. Each time before, the number of Bilgewater people who died was a hundred times that of today. Although you have the help of Sewell, you have done well enough, Captain.
To be honest, before I knew about powerful mages like Sewell and warriors like Lucian and Senna who specialized in fighting the Black Mist, I thought Bilgewater would belong to the Black Mist sooner or later. "
"Black Mist will be punished."
"You're right. The Black Mist will be punished." Senna stood beside Sarah and agreed: "Do you want to become a member of the Sentinels of Light and fight the Black Mist with us?"
"Huh?" Sarah was a little surprised.
Lucian was even more surprised. He whispered hurriedly, "Senna, to invite a new Sentinel of Light you must go through..."
“I know,” Senna interrupted. “But things are a little different, Lucian. I said, I got a lot of knowledge from Thresh’s lantern, including the origin of the Shadow Isles and the Black Mist. We must kill the Ruined King as quickly as possible, otherwise... the entire Runeterra will probably fall into a catastrophe.”
“…The Ruined King?” Lucian chewed on this unfamiliar name.
Normally, the selection of the Sentinels of Light is very strict. They need to have the ability to use holy stone weapons with spiritual will, and they also need sufficient training and the opportunity to obtain holy stone weapons, but now Senna thinks it is necessary to break this rule.
"Our strength is far from enough." She gestured to Sarah, and then looked at Ji Xing who was sitting on the ground not far away fiddling with Thresh's lantern. It would be even better if she could get help from this mage.
So I was just invited by chance. Sarah understood what he meant and shrugged, not caring too much, and looked at Ji Xing.
But now there seemed to be something more eye-catching than Ji Xing. She turned her eyes to the left unnaturally and looked at the bearded man who was squatting in the corner and muttering: "What happened to that ice man?"
"Maybe only the Bearded Lady knows." Raven responded and walked over to ask, "Hey, what's up, friend of the Icefield."
Olaf looked up and muttered, "I hate mages, especially powerful mages."
"Ah?" Raven looked at Ji Xing.
"Oh, right!" Olaf suddenly remembered and asked, "Have you ever heard of a warrior who tamed three sea monsters after encountering a tornado and let them guard him when he landed?"
Raven opened his mouth in surprise. "You mean... you Freljordians?"
"No, right here in Bilgewater!"
"impossible……"
"He should be talking about me." Ji Xing, who was fiddling with the lantern, turned around and said.
Olaf was silent for a moment, and after a while, he muttered, "I hate mages, sincerely!"
Ji Xing was quite interested in this bearded man. The true icy power on the axe felt like a very powerful energy, as if it was sublimated from magic. It belonged only to the tribes of Freljord, and even Ji Xing could not easily grasp it.
But there is no rush. You can’t bite off more than you can chew. Let’s go to Freljord when we have time.
He stood up with a lantern in hand, and responded to the gazes of Lucian and his wife, saying, "I don't plan to join the Sentinels of Light, but I may be able to help depending on the situation... Is the Ruined King referring to Viego?"
Without waiting for Sena’s answer, Jixing gently swung the lantern as he stood in front of the dilapidated door.
A green firefly flew out from the ghostly lantern and entered the body of a stiff middle-aged man. Then, under the shocked gaze of everyone, the middle-aged man moved.
Although it was slow and jerky, he did stand up mechanically, staring at Ji Xing with lifeless eyes, as if waiting for instructions!
"If he can't regain his consciousness before he died, he won't have much fighting power?" Ji Xing shook his head and swung the lantern again. The green fireflies flew back, the body fell to the ground, and everything returned to the beginning.
"This, this is also magic?" Sarah said.
“Yes, and it is the most… repulsive necromancy!” Lucian carefully considered his words and only said repulsion, but his face was still very serious: “Mr. Mage, have you dabbled in it before, or did you do this with the help of Thresh’s lantern? But I hope you…”
In the middle of his words, he suddenly felt the weight on his waist disappear, and saw that Ji Xing had unknowingly wiped away his holy spear, holding it in his own hand, pointing it towards the sky, bang!
Brilliant bullets of light exploded in the air, and Lucian's expression became even more shocked than before.
He... can use holy stone weapons?! And the power of this bullet is even greater than when I used it!
"Necromancer is just a kind of magic. It is indeed shameful to blaspheme the dead, but it is different if the dead can speak." Ji Xing returned the gun to him and said, "The difference lies in the people, not the power. Don't hurt your wife's heart."
Lucian was startled and looked at Senna.
Yes, Senna now...is relying on the power of the black fog to survive.
Senna shook her head indifferently and looked at Ji Xing and said, "Mr. Mage, how did you know the name 'Viego'?"
From the game, it's the Ruined King. Ji Xing doesn't know more.
Seeing that Ji Xing did not answer, Senna did not ask further questions and said affirmatively: "It is indeed him, the Ruined King Viego, the source of the Black Mist and the Ruined Curse."
She looked around to make sure that Lucian, Sarah and the others were listening attentively. Even Olaf, who had been mumbling, came over with interest and continued:
"According to what I have learned, Viego was the king of the Kingdom of Kamavia a thousand years ago. During an assassination attempt, his queen Isolde was stabbed with a poisoned dagger for him.
He is poisoned and there is no cure, but Viego... loves his queen very much.
So he sent his niece, Kalista, the general of the Kingdom of Kamavia, to look for the antidote everywhere. Kalista did not disappoint his expectations. She found the Blessed Isles, the predecessor of the Shadow Islands, and found a way to save Isolder, but unfortunately, it was too late.
When Kalista returned home, Isolder had long been dead, and under the instigation of Hecarim, Viego, unable to accept reality, sent his army to attack the Blessed Islands.
"There is a fountain of life on the Blessed Isles, which is said to be able to revive as long as one breathes. That was Viego's goal. He succeeded. Under the guidance of Thresh, the natives of the Blessed Isles were almost all slaughtered by his army. He carried Isolder's rotting body to the fountain of life and placed Isolder in the spring water.
An excess of life force was injected into Isold's body. This conflict triggered the magic circle under the Fountain of Life, and along with the ancient magic items collected and protected by the Blessed Isle, a huge explosion occurred, destroying the entire island.
I don’t know what happened in the middle, but this explosion triggered magic, or a curse, the curse of ruin, which formed the black fog. Or maybe... it was love that brought this curse. "
"...Hmph, what a deep love." Sarah commented with a subtle tone.
Lucian grasped the key point and said, "The Ruined King, Isolde... Could it be that..."
“That’s right. The expansion of the Black Mist and the emergence of the Soul-Destroying Night are essentially due to the Ruined King’s search for Isolde. I don’t know where Isolde is hiding, but the Ruined King has become more and more crazy, and the Black Mist has accumulated more and more power.” Senna said solemnly: “If the Ruined King is not dealt with, in a few years, a Soul-Destroying Night that sweeps across the entire continent will break out!”
"A soul-hating night...for the entire continent?" Raven couldn't imagine what kind of disaster that would be.
Olaf became excited: "That kind of black fog will appear in the ice field? The warriors of the ice field will make them never return!"
The most important thing is that there are no annoying mages in Icefield to compete with me for opponents!
Sena only looked at Ji Xing: "So we need help, Mr. Mage, this is actually helping yourselves."
Sweeping the entire continent? Just relying on these undead? The day they sweep across the continent, Viego will die. The waters of Rune Continent are very deep.
Ji Xing didn’t care much about this. His biggest feeling after listening to this story was that it was just a little bit away from forming a closed loop.
Senna is constantly searching for the black fog of Isolde. She has been constantly attacked by the black fog since she was a child. The overly dazzling spark of life in Senna's body allows her to be resurrected even if killed by Thresh, and she can even use the power of the black fog again. Add a little bit of sense of fate, and isn't this complete?
He looked at Senna carefully, shaking the lantern in his hand slightly, and said, "Queen Isolde, would you like to come out and add some content?"
Who? Isolde?
Everyone was stunned and looked at Senna. Senna was also stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly changed.
In fact, after entering Thresh's lantern, she did always feel that there was another voice speaking in her head from time to time, guiding her astray.
But she only thought that it was an illusion caused by the pain of the tortured soul, or the support of her own will, but the powerful wizard who was proficient in necromancy said this...
The lantern shook even more violently.
Senna felt dizzy and her body swayed, then she saw a ball of light floating out from her chest!
"it turns out……"
"Is it really that Isolde?!"
Lucian hurriedly supported Senna, and he couldn't believe that his wife, with whom he lived day and night, had another person's soul inside her body, and it was Isolde!
Until a melancholy yet light and pleasant voice came out from the ball of light: "What Senna said is complete, Mr. Mage."
Ji Xing nodded: "I'm just a little curious why you are avoiding Viego."
"He is no longer Viego." The woman sighed: "Besides... I have loved him until the last moment, isn't that enough?"
