"It's really strange that the flower of night can bloom again."
Seeing this scene, Reid was also surprised. This dilapidated and desolate area had no signs of life for thousands of years. This night flower growing from the soil lit up this deep forest, as if it was about to ignite the entire forest.
earth.
"Is this the only one?"
Reed looked around and saw no other signs of life, which actually illustrates the key to the problem.
This island of death is only filled with melancholy gloom, biting cold, violent winds, and pervasive pain.
"Yes, this is the only one."
Maokai answered Reed's question, a nature spirit, a human, and a yordle. The three of them gathered around the flower, quietly waiting for it to bloom.
Night Flower tilted her neck and looked up, seemingly attracted by Reed's powerful vitality. This suddenly arrived yordle was even brighter than Maokai, a spirit of nature, and dispersed the black mist that tried to get closer.
The sweet scent of the night flower overflows slightly, vermilion veins cover every shy petal, and the light green stems are surrounded by hundreds of silver-white hairs.
In this blooming late night, it is growing all the time, changing its body posture in extremely subtle ways.
Its stem grew taller and taller, and its shy petals gradually unfolded. Under Reed's gaze, the bud shyly spit out its stamens, and its charming fragrance painted the devastated area with color.
Just like what is described in the teachings of Naga Kapoulos, life cannot be as static as death. Life has its own unique rhythm, which is a fatal attraction to the undead. The rhythm and fragrance of life stir up the black mist.
"Fortunately you are here, otherwise we might not be able to see it bloom. Those undead will definitely want to destroy it. Its existence and bloom are a provocation to the black mist."
Maokai was deeply attracted by the blooming of life. For thousands of years, he has been working hard to get rid of the black fog and return Blessed Light Island to the infinitely beautiful scenery of the past.
And this blooming night flower seems to be the land's response to him, the first response in thousands of years.
When the "Curse of Destruction" occurred, he was very reluctant and urgently cut off his roots all over the island, but he was still deeply eroded by the black mist.
Fortunately, he escaped from the pollution. If he hadn't taken the initiative to cut off contact, he would have been polluted by the black mist and his will would be completely distorted.
As the natural spirit of this land, he is deeply rooted in the entire island. If he is also completely corrupted, the consequences will be unimaginable. Recalling the black mist that eroded him, Maokai's heart is filled with sorrow.
anger.
It was Reed who used "holy water" to help him get rid of the pollution, so that his figure was no longer distorted and returned to the sacred nature of the past. Since then, he has made his home in Bandle City and began to restore his fortune.
Work hard for the island.
"The undead are afraid of holy water. They will not dare to approach me because I am wearing holy water, but they will not let go of this flower."
Yorick was fascinated to see that this kind of flower blooming that he had often seen before and had been tired of seeing when he was very young, now made him see it with tears in his eyes.
When he was a child, every year the Night Flower bloomed, Yorick would stay up all night watching it, because that was the only day that made him feel that he could be accepted. On that night, people would become more tolerant and patient than usual.
Yorick has a unique gift. He was born with "yin and yang eyes", which allows him to see the souls of human beings after death and hear their voices.
This caused him to be discriminated against since he was a child, and people thought he was a weird kid. However, amid people's insults and suspicions, he gradually understood what his mission was.
He began to rely on his own ability to guide the dead back to heaven and guide the lost souls to where they should go.
Although he was accepted into the "Twilight Brotherhood", because his abilities were so closely integrated with the church's teachings, Yorick was born with the ability to understand things that others needed to convert to the faith.
This made him jealous and ostracized within the cult.
If this "Curse of Ruin" hadn't happened, Yorick's life would have continued, spending his life as a "guide", maybe he would have made some achievements, or maybe he wouldn't even be able to leave a name and disappear into history.
In the long river, I am not as lonely and persistent as I am now.
As a living person, it is very difficult to live on the Shadow Island today. When Reed found him, he wanted to take him away from this ghost place.
But the stubborn Yorick firmly believes that he should stay and help the undead wandering on the road return to their places. As the only survivor of the "Twilight Brotherhood", he should unswervingly shoulder the responsibility of the entire church.
.
Yorick's life here is very miserable, and his life depends almost entirely on that bottle of "holy water".
This land has now been completely eroded, and crops cannot be grown at all. Livestock such as chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle, and sheep cannot survive, and it has long been unsuitable for human habitation.
Of course, if Maokai goes to Bandle City, he will bring him some food, enough to improve his life.
But most of the time, he relied on "holy water" to maintain his life. It was just a small bottle of holy water, which had sustained his life for thousands of years, and there is still some left.
The power of this holy water can be seen from this. Although the vial that Reed gave Li Qing was diluted, it still has a very powerful effect, and it has been proved that it can revive the dying Queen Catherine.
After understanding this, the reason why the flower of the night can attract Maokai and Yorick is actually very easy to understand, because this is almost a miracle, a miracle that only appears for thousands of years.
.
They don't know what this means, they don't know if this means that the island will regain life, and they don't know if the night flowers will still bloom next year.
But just the fact that this flower is blooming is enough to make them burst into tears, sigh for it, and be intoxicated by it.
"It's really touching, the breath of life is intoxicating."
An evil, joking voice sounded, so disgusting, accompanied by the sound of chains swinging, not far from Reed, Maokai, and Yorick.
"Thresh, your appearance really brings disgrace to the scenery."
Reed, Maokai, and Yorick were all familiar with the visitor. He was a figure surrounded by black mist, with strange dark green fluorescence emitting from his body.
He was holding a sickle, chains and a lantern in his hands, several huge keys hung on his chest, two old books pinned to his side, and he was wearing a phantom-like black robe.
