Chapter 871 Isolde
"Oh! The most powerful warrior in the ice field!"
"Oh! He is Olaf!"
"No enemy can escape his axe!"
Who is singing?
This is the first doubt that Ji Xing had when he arrived at the slaughter dock shrouded in black fog.
Oh, he is Olaf. Ji Xing soon got the answer in 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 order should have been repelled long ago. I don't know how many lives were left, because the dead will join the army of the undead.
This place should have become a forbidden place for the living, but there is a warrior fighting in the black fog.
Olaf was very disappointed when he didn't find the warrior who tamed the three-headed sea monster, but the arrival of the black fog surprised him again.
I don't know how long it has been since the last time, he once again found the opportunity to die in battle!
He was singing the war song he wrote for himself. The lyrics were simple and rough, but the momentum contained in it was more 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 as predicted!
A glowing mist suddenly enveloped him, and the ghosts in the mist surrounded him eagerly. A thin layer of ice formed on his frost scales, and the deadly touch of the undead made him feel as painful as burning.
But the berserker would only have his blood boiling.
He bit the muscles in his mouth, and scarlet blood foam appeared at the corners of his mouth. He waved the axe like a madman, as if he could not feel any pain at all.
The axe blessed by the ice power of the Icefield Tribe has a power that even the undead fear. One by one, the undead screamed and were chopped to pieces by him. He slaughtered in the black fog, as if he had entered a no-man's land!
Suddenly, there was a roar and explosion, and behind him came the sound of the collapse of the beams and the breaking of the fence, followed by fist-sized stones hitting him like a storm.
Olaf turned his head without caring, and then his eyes lit up and he laughed wildly.
He knew he had met his best opponent.
It was the sea worm, the sea worm that he had chased from Freljord to here, the sea worm that he had cut open in three hours!
Under the power of the black fog, the sea worm that was more than 20 meters long 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 the entire street into ruins!
"Olaf will kill you again!"
Facing this monster that ordinary people could not avoid, Olaf rushed over enthusiastically, but just after he rushed for more than ten meters, he suddenly saw a flash of lightning surging around him, clearing all the undead around him!
"...Hmm? Magic?" He turned around and saw Ji Xing coming with a lantern: "Mage?"
Ji Xing smiled at him, continued to control the thunder to clean up the undead, and finally charged a strike, and the lightning column like a super-electromagnetic cannon pierced through the undead sea worm that was like a giant ship!
Olaf stared at all this in a daze, gradually becoming overwhelmed with pain: "No——!"
Such a godsend 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 the damn frost witch on the ice field!
"Hey, powerful warrior." Ji Xing came over and greeted Olaf: "I'm going to reinforce other places, do you want help?"
Olaf's eyes lighted up again: "You're right, there are undead everywhere now!"
...
When the morning sun fell, Bilgewater, which had been dark all night, saw the light again.
The black fog retreated to where it came from. Sarah's tired footsteps stopped in front of a door, frowning at the cold and stiff corpses of the whole family.
"It's good enough." Raven stood behind her in ragged clothes: "I have experienced six Soul-harrowing Nights. Each time before, the number of Bilgewater people who died... must be a hundred times that of today. Although there is the help of Sewell, you have done well enough, Captain.
To be honest, before I knew a powerful mage like Sewell and knew that there were warriors like Lucian and Senna who specialized in fighting the Black Mist, I thought Bilgewater would belong to the Black Mist sooner or later."
"The Black Mist will be punished."
"That's right, the Black Mist will be punished." Senna stood beside Sarah and echoed: "Do you want to become a member of the Light Sentinel and fight the Black Mist with us?"
"Huh?" Sarah was a little surprised.
What was even more surprising was Lucian. He whispered hurriedly: "Senna, inviting a new Sentinel of Light must go through..."
"I know." Senna interrupted: "But the situation has become a little different, Lucian. I said that I got a lot of knowledge from Thresh's lantern, including the roots of Shadow Isles and Black Mist. We must kill the 'Ruined King' as quickly as possible, otherwise... the entire Rune Continent may be plunged into a catastrophe."
"... Ruined King?" Lucian chewed on this unfamiliar name.
Normally, the selection of the Sentinel of Light is very strict. It requires the ability to use the sacred stone weapon with spiritual will, and also requires sufficient training and the opportunity to obtain the sacred stone weapon, 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 and fiddling with Thresh's lantern. It would be even better if she could get the help of this mage.
So I was just invited by chance. Sarah realized what he meant, shrugged her shoulders, didn't care too much, and looked at Ji Xing.
But now there seemed to be something more eye-catching than Ji Xing. Her eyes turned left unnaturally and looked at the bearded man squatting in the corner muttering: "What happened to that ice man?"
"Maybe only the bearded lady knows." Raven responded, walked over and asked: "Hey, what's wrong, friend of the ice."
Olaf looked up and muttered: "I hate mages, especially powerful mages."
"Ah?" Raven looked at Ji Xing.
"By the way!" Olaf suddenly remembered and asked: "Have you heard of a warrior who tamed three sea monsters after encountering a tornado and let them guard his landing?"
Raven opened his mouth in surprise: "You are talking about... you Freljord people?"
"No, it's in Bilgewater!"
"Impossible..."
"He should be talking about me." At this time, Ji Xing, who was fiddling with the lantern, turned his head and said.
Olaf was silent for a moment, and after a while, he muttered again: "I hate mages, sincerely!"
Ji Xing was quite interested in this bearded man. The power of the True Ice on the axe felt like a very powerful energy, as if it was sublimated from magic power. It only belonged to the tribes of Freljord, and even Ji Xing could not easily master it.
But there was no rush, and he would not chew more than he could chew. He would wait until he had time to go to Freljord.
He stood up with a lantern in his hand, responding to the attention 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... The Ruined King refers to Viego?"
Before Senna answered, Ji Xing stood in front of the ruined door and gently shook the lantern.
A little green firefly flew out of the ghostly lantern and drilled into 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 stuck, he did stand up mechanically, staring at Ji Xing with his lifeless eyes, as if waiting for instructions!
"You can't recover your consciousness before you died, and you don't have much fighting power?" Ji Xing shook his head, 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 the words and only said repulsion, but his face was still very serious: "Mr. Mage, have you been involved in it for a long time, or did you do this by borrowing Thresh's lantern? But I hope you..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly found that the weight on his waist was empty, and he saw that Ji Xing had unconsciously wiped out his holy spear, held it in his hand, and pointed it towards the sky, bang!
The bright light bullet exploded in the air, and Lucian's expression became more shocked than before.
He...can use holy stone weapons? ! And the power of this bullet is greater than when I used it!
"Necromancy 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 stunned and looked at Senna.
Yes, Senna now... relies on the power of the black fog to survive.
Senna shook her head indifferently and looked at Ji Xing and said, "Mr. Mage, where did you know the name 'Viego'?"
From the game, the Ruined King. Ji Xing didn't know more.
Seeing that Ji Xing did not answer, Senna did not ask further questions and affirmed: "It is indeed him, the Ruined King Viego, the source of the Black Mist and the Ruined Curse."
She looked around and confirmed that Lucian, Sarah and others were listening carefully. Even Olaf, who was mumbling, came over with interest and continued:
"According to the knowledge I have obtained, Viego was the king of the Kingdom of Kamavia a thousand years ago. Because of an assassination, his queen Isolde was stabbed with a poisoned dagger for him.
The poison was fatal and there was no cure, and Viego... loved his queen very much.
So he sent his niece, Kalista, who was also the general of the Kingdom of Kamavia, to search for an antidote everywhere. Kalista did not disappoint him and found the Blessed Isles, the predecessor of the Shadow Isles, and found a way to cure Isolde, but unfortunately, it was too late.
When Kalista returned to the country, Isolde had been dead for a long time. In Hecarim's Incited by the enemy, Viego, who could not accept the reality, sent his army to attack the Blessed Islands. "
"There is a fountain of life on the Blessed Islands, which is said to be able to save people with just one breath, and that is exactly Viego's goal. He succeeded. Under the guidance of Thresh, the natives of the Blessed Islands were almost slaughtered by his army. He carried the rotten body of Isolder to the fountain of life and placed Isolder in the spring water.
The excessive life force was injected into Isolder's body. This conflict triggered the magic circle under the fountain of life, and together with the ancient magic items collected and protected by the Blessed Islands, a huge explosion broke out, destroying the entire island.
I don't know what happened in the middle. This explosion triggered magic, or curse, the curse of ruin, forming a black fog. Or... it was love that brought this curse. "
"... Hum, such a deep love." Sarah commented with a subtle tone.
Lucian grasped the key point and said: "The King of Ruin, Isolder... Could it be that..."
"That's right. The expansion of the Black Mist and the appearance of the Soul-Eating Night are essentially due to the Ruined King's search for Isolder. I don't know where Isolder 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-Eating Night that sweeps across the entire continent will break out!"
"The entire continent... Soul-Eating Night?" Raven couldn't imagine what kind of disaster that would be.
Olaf was excited: "That kind of Black Mist will also appear in the Icefield? The warriors of the Icefield will make them never come back!"
The most important thing is that there are no annoying mages in the Icefield to compete with me for opponents!
Senna only looked at Ji Xing: "So we need help, Mr. Mage, this is actually helping yourselves."
Sweep the entire continent? Just relying on this undead? The day it sweeps across the continent will be the day Viego dies. 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, and it would form a closed loop.
The black fog that constantly searches for Isolde, Senna who has been attacked by the black fog since childhood, the overly dazzling spark of life in Senna's body, even if she is killed by Thresh, she can be resurrected, and even use the power of the black fog again, plus a little sense of fate, isn't this complete?
He looked at Senna with consideration, shaking the lantern in his hand slightly, and said: "Queen Isolde, do you want to come out and add some content?"
Who? Isolde?
Everyone was stunned and looked at Senna. Senna was also stunned, and then suddenly changed color.
In fact, after entering Thresh's lantern, she did always feel that there was occasionally another voice in her head talking, guiding her astray.
But she only thought it was an illusion caused by the pain of the tortured soul, or her own will support, but the powerful wizard who was proficient in necromancy said so...
The lantern shook more violently.
Senna felt dizzy and her body swayed, and then she saw a ball of light floating out of her chest!
"Actually..."
"Is it really that Isolde?!"
Lucian hurriedly supported Senna, and he couldn't believe that his wife, who he had been with day and night, had another soul in her body, and it was Isolde!
Until a melancholy but light and pleasant voice came out of the ball of light: "Senna's content is already complete, Mr. Mage."
Ji Xing nodded: "I'm just a little curious why you are hiding from Viego."
"He is no longer Viego." The woman sighed: "And... I have loved him until the last moment, isn't it enough?"
