Chapter 336 Missing, Silent Uninhabited Village

"What?!" Now it was Jarvan IV's turn to be shocked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I have done relevant research, although not much." Li Lin nodded heavily, "But the clues revealed between the lines of Andel's words all point to this fear demon."

Jarvan IV rubbed his slightly bearded chin with a serious and hesitant expression, "In our Demacia legends, there is indeed a record of a fearful demon, but it has disappeared for hundreds of years and has not appeared again.

"Moreover, most of the legends about this demon are only passed down orally. Even the royal library of Dawn Castle only has a few descriptions, and even its real name is not recorded.

"If you ask me, this legend, or all the legends of demons, might be compiled by people based on a certain person or thing..."

"No, Your Highness, the devil is real. I have fought against the devil before."

Facing Jarvan IV's stunned expression, the nano-armor on Li Lin's hand transformed, projecting the appearance of the eternal nightmare Nocturne in the air.

"People call it Nocturne, but its real name is 'Nightmare', which is a branch of the emotion of 'Fear'. It is a demon that spreads nightmares to people and devours their fear. It was born from the Shadow at the end of the Rune War. Magical War.”

"So it's called Nightmare..." Jarvan IV took a breath of air, "I've also seen records about it, and they are as rare as fear. It only shows that it was born during the Rune War."

"Because the devil's information has been deliberately erased, people must forget them so as not to bring disaster to themselves."

Li Lin retracted his hand and said very solemnly: "For ordinary demons, you only need to call them by their real names to expose their weaknesses, but to defeat them, you still need considerable strength, and knowing magic is the best choice.

"At that time, Nocturne was eyeing a professor at our University of Piltover. Our principal Heimerdinger used a device he had invented that could allow people to travel to the spiritual realm, which enabled me to defeat him in the spiritual realm. it."

"You actually... faced and fought off the demon?"

Jarvan IV no longer knew what words to use to describe his mood.

"It's just an ordinary demon." Li Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "As long as you know their true names, they are nothing to worry about... But this ancient demon is different, not to mention it is still the original demon."

Even if you move Galio here, you may not be able to defeat it...

Li Lin added in his heart.

Jarvan IV turned his back to Li Lin, put his hands on the table, and fell into deep thought.

There was a long silence in the room.

It took more than five minutes before he spoke: "What if... Andel is not facing a demon, but an evil wizard who is good at using necromancy?"

Damn it!

Li Lin couldn't help but feel anxious, "Your Highness!"

"Now that Andel has come to me for help, as the prince of a kingdom and the crown prince of Demacia, I have to help my subjects when they are in trouble...

"Besides, it threatens not only the lives of Andel's wife and daughter, but also hundreds of people in Hengfeng Village."

Jarvan IV turned around and looked at Li Lin with a helpless expression on his face.

"You underestimate the devil! Not to mention that chanting the original devil's true name is of no use at all. Even if it is useful, I have no confidence that I can defeat it."

"This is indeed a problem, but I didn't say we were going to fight this demon, right?" Jarvan IV chuckled, "Don't you have an invisible drone?"

Li Lin probably guessed what he wanted to express, "Do you want to use my drone to detect the situation, and if you find that it is really a demon, organize the evacuation of the villagers in Hengfeng Village?"

"Yes, my duty does not allow me to give up on them." Jarvan IV nodded, and then looked at him with a pleading look, "So... can you please help me?"

…

…

In desperation, Li Lin finally agreed to Jarvan IV's request.

Although this is a very "suicide" behavior, Jarvan IV has made up his mind. It seems that he must go to Hengfeng Village to check the situation, so he can only accompany him.

As the orthodox royal bloodline of Demacia, Jarvan IV cares about his subjects. This is also the foundation for the Lightshield family to establish its political power. Kings of all generations know this very well.

And according to the original world line, it was impossible for Jarvan IV to interact with Fiddlesticks.

After all, as a defeated army and being attacked by the dragon Ivar, it was difficult to protect itself. Naturally, Andel couldn't turn to him for help.

It is very likely that Andel will be devoured by Fiddlesticks in the subsequent search for his wife and daughter.

But due to the butterfly effect, two characters who originally didn't want to do it met.

The changes made must bear the consequences, and Li Lin must help Jarvan IV overcome this new difficulty.

But Li Lin also has someone to rely on.

Zoe had given him a marble condensed by magic power before. Of course it was not the star that was stolen from the Star-casting Dragon King and made into marbles for playing games.

At a critical moment, Li Lin can use this "magic marble" to summon Zoe, who is now unknown.

It's just that this little girl is very unreliable, and he knows very well that he can't completely rely on her.

At this time, it was crucial for Morgana to give him the black feather that could summon her in Demacia.

If the drone can also attract Fiddlesticks, it would be best to call Zoe.

The last twilight protoss Maisha stole its demonic key from Fiddlesticks. Even if the human body of flesh and blood cannot exert the full power of the protoss, Zoe can at least repel it, if not more. He can also escape with everyone.

If Zoe doesn't come, Morgana, who has half the power of the blessing of the stars, will be a bit uncertain against Fiddlesticks, but it is still much better than facing them all as mortals.

Jarvan IV and Barret originally agreed to return to the capital in three days.

But agreeing to Andel's request, there was no room for delay. They immediately led 6 fearless vanguard shield formations and a group of personal guards, mounted fast horses and set off that night.

Although Andel walked to Renwall for more than ten days, during which time he could have sentenced his wife and daughter to "death"...

Renwall is hundreds of kilometers away from Hengfeng Village. The group of people rushed almost all the time and arrived at the quiet Hunan River bank in the evening of the fifth day.

Hengfeng Village is on the other side of the river.

"Let's set up camp here." Barrett suggested, "It's just that the boat we came from was parked in Tobitsia, so crossing the river is a problem."

"Andel should have something to do, right?" Jarvan IV looked around, "By the way, where are the Andel people?"

Li Lin, who was standing by the river looking at the other side and releasing several nano-reconnaissance drones, heard Jarvan IV's call and hurried back to him.

"Is Andel missing?" Li Lin asked.

At this time, Jarvan IV looked unhappy and was scolding the soldiers responsible for guarding Andel, "How can such a big man slip away?"

"I'm very sorry! This was my dereliction of duty!" The soldier lowered his face in shame, "I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Forget it, no one would have expected such a thing like Andel sneaking away." Barrett deliberately defended the derelict soldier, "Besides, we were marching quickly this time and everyone was very tired, so it won't happen next time. "

Jarvan IV stared at the soldier for a few seconds, then waved his hand helplessly, "Well... before we waste any time, we should investigate the situation in Hengfeng Village."

His eyes turned to Li Lin, "Has your drone been arranged?"

"Okay, Your Highness."

Li Lin immediately projected a holographic picture of the drone to everyone.

Barrett, who had lived for decades and saw this kind of scene for the first time, couldn't help stroking his gray beard and sighed: "Piltover actually has this kind of technology... I have long advised your father to ban it. Treaties prohibiting official trade and introduce more advanced technologies.”

"But the member in charge of diplomacy in the Stalwart Council disagrees." Jarvan IV snorted.

"It will change, everything will change." Barrett knowing that the prince had always been dissatisfied with the group of nobles who were in charge of the kingdom's privileges, deliberately comforted him.

While they were talking, the drones had found the exact location of Hengfeng Village, and each entered the "optical camouflage" state and spread out.

Among them, a drone entered the village and discovered a shocking scene.

It was obviously dinner time in the evening, but the village was extremely quiet and lifeless.

"...Where are the people in the village?"
