"Maokai, this guy, is really persistent. The situation in that place cannot be solved by himself."
Reed shook his head and sighed, then he threw the yordle in his hand into the woods. The branches were intertwined and he immediately tied up the yordle.
"Watch him and don't let him run away."
Reed gave an order, and the towering trees responded swayingly. This is the "prison" Reed arranged for the yordle, and every big tree is a "jailer."
These trees are the masterpieces of Maokai. He is a natural spirit born on Blessed Light Island. His roots suck the holy water in Blessed Light Island's "holy well" to grow. He has been there for an unknown amount of time before humans set foot on that island.
Reed had known him very early, when they were "getting water". They did not get into a fight over the "holy water" matter, but were very harmonious.
As a spirit of nature, Maokai has a natural affection for the Yodles, and he does not regard the "holy water" as his own private property. Later, when humans settled on Blessed Light Island, he was willing to share it with
human beings.
"The Shadow Isles... are a troublesome place."
Reed basically let the situation on the Shadow Island slide, because the situation there cannot be changed by personal will. If you just kill all the ghosts on the island, it is not difficult. Reed can do it easily.
But the reason why Shadow Island has become what it is today is due to the influence of the black fog formed by "holy water" + "magic" + "white mist". If we can't solve the black fog shrouding Shadow Island, we will never be able to eradicate the shadow.
The undead on the island are the premise of all problems.
Kalista, Hecarim, Thresh, these names were erased by him more than once, but in the end they will all return from the black mist. They are powerful soul individuals among them, but they still cannot get rid of being bound and controlled by the black mist.
fate.
Reed tried using the World Rune, but the stubborn black mist could not be removed with the World Rune.
Blessed Light Island is special. It is a land favored by Rune Terra. The holy water nourishes all the creatures on that land, and the white mist barrier protects the island.
The creation of the Shadow Island is the result of multiple factors, not just changes in the material realm. The magical disaster thousands of years ago tore apart the barrier between the material realm and the spiritual realm. The material realm and the spiritual realm merged extremely roughly, in an instant.
It killed all life.
The former "holy water" was contaminated by a curse, and factors such as magic, witchcraft, and the chaotic laws of the intersection of the two worlds interacted and merged to finally form the current Shadow Island.
After the "Curse of Ruin", with the outbreak of the "Rune War", with the chaos of the world, and with the turmoil in the material and spiritual realms, this black mist is still getting stronger, firmly binding those immortals.
of the undead.
"Buzz."
The portal opened, and Reed came to a deserted place. Turbulence surged in the sky, black clouds flickered in and out under the reflection of lightning, and there was endless rolling black fog everywhere.
Once here, houses were built with bright white holy boulders, and the golden sunshine shone on everyone's face. This was a place full of wealth, knowledge and miracles, free from war and famine.
But this also laid the foundation for subsequent disasters. This place was too secluded from the world and too aloof from the world, so it was unprepared for danger and had no resistance.
Here now, there is no sun, and the black mist blocks everything. Reid raised his head, and the ruins of broken and broken buildings hung above his head, like huge mummies, with large pieces of stone floating in the air.
, that's the moment they exploded and were imprisoned.
After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the blood has spread a thin layer of brown on the ground. The once white and holy stones are now dark and full of cracks.
"What should I do to wake you up?"
A dim and hollow voice sounded, as if from another space. It was an undead spirit formed in the black mist. He was lying in a pool of blood left thousands of years ago, but the pool of blood had dried up so much that no blood could be seen.
"Ledros, why are you dead again?"
Reed said hello to the undead, and the undead that was reshaped in the black mist was awakened by this. He got up from the ground, picked up the broken sword and looked at Reed.
This undead figure is very tall, wearing a suit of armor, a spiked helmet on his head, an iron shield tied to his left arm, and the sword in his hand is broken, like a ghost, but the complete shadow can still be seen.
profile.
On his chest hung an exquisite silver pendant, carved with two roses, with leaves and stems intertwined like a pair of embracing lovers.
"I see no hope and don't know where the road ahead is."
The undead was obviously a little different. The eyes exposed under his helmet were not filled with gripping anger and desire, but instead were filled with loss, pain, and powerlessness.
This big guy is the captain of Foego's guard, the chief swordsman of the Kingdom of Kamavia, and the defender of the king. He was once a brave warrior, but now he is trapped in the black mist, and he no longer even looks like a human being.
.
Ledros took off his helmet, took off the pendant around his neck and caressed it. The face under his helmet had no substance, it was an illusion and a residual ghost of his face in life.
"Don't give up. Since you can maintain your sanity and memory, others can certainly do it too. Callista's madness is not so cruel. She was just carried away by the desire for revenge."
Seeing that Ladros was so negative, Reed cheered him up. Ladros was one of the few undead who maintained his sanity and memory. Except for his soul being bound by the black mist, he was not at all affected by the black mist.
influence.
The pendant in his hand was a gift he was going to give to Callista. He had been preparing to confess his love to Callista, but he had never taken that step.
"Is it really possible? I have been working hard for thousands of years, but except for occasionally waking her up and being able to say a few words, most of the time she remains like that, tirelessly doing what the Spear of Revenge should do.
thing."
It can be seen that Ledros is really frustrated this time. Thousands of years of hard work can't bring back any progress. Even if he is strong-willed enough to resist the black mist, he almost gives up on continuing.
"..."
Reed was silent. There was no doubt about this man's love for Callista, and he didn't think this guy would give up.
"Perhaps this black mist must be completely ended before she can be awakened. Maybe I have really been working in the wrong direction."
Ledros's words confirmed Reed's thoughts. This man would never give up. If he could not wake up Callista, then he would work hard to end the source of all this.
