Chapter 101 Conspiracy? Cooperation with Fog Walker
Just like the oil-soaked black sea water splashing against the sunken rocks, the strange and writhing black-green mist stretches in all directions, lifting the ruins of the collapsed and scattered cities suspended in the air.
The tide flooded the city, and the wreckage of the sunken ship floated for thousands of years. It was still dilapidated and maintained the appearance of being broken into debris but incompletely patched together and repaired, exuding the stench of curse.
Walking along the cracked and dilapidated marble shore that has long been soaked in black ash, mysterious shadows follow the breath of the living, controlled by the black mist, trying to erode all life.
Since this operation was only to investigate Hylia's information and not to eliminate the Mist Walkers, Ahri did not carry a holy stone weapon.
The new holy stone materials have just been sent to Fortune's workshop. The weapons currently stored in the Bright Sentinel warehouse are all made of new holy stones by incorporating the lime powder of the Forbidden Demon Tree.
Those weapons are specially provided for ordinary sentries who do not have magic, are relatively inexperienced, and cannot directly come into contact with the black mist, and their power is limited.
Therefore, along the way, to deal with the Mist Walker's attack, Gwen, who was able to directly purify the undead using the Holy Mist magic, occupied the first place in output, and she was happy to do so.
The closer the eroding magic is to the Shining Tower area, the more bizarre and confusing it becomes.
"Go this way."
Josh asked Ahri and Gwen to go around the area where the underground energy was like a volcanic eruption. The three of them stopped on the edge of the explosion and looked down.
But the great destruction swept across, and Ahri took over the leadership of the Sentinels of Light, trying to find this dark descendant, but to no avail.
Gwen bit her lower lip lightly, raised her eyebrows tangledly, and stared at the ghost with complicated eyes, "You are Foego's counselor, the court mage Nuño Nekrit!"
This Mist Walker seems to be very different from the others.
That day, Josh and Ryze happened to be chasing Thresh, and they happened to be caught by the darkin, who devoured Thresh's flesh and blood.
"My name is Gwen. If you know Isulde, you should know me."
Later, the dark descendant was sealed in a forbidden demon sarcophagus, and the Vasani controlled the golem puppet and buried it somewhere.
Josh immediately applied an arcane barrier to Gwen, and then followed Ahri's footsteps and rushed to the stunned Gwen, assuming a fighting stance, but did not take action directly.
Nekrit pointed to the direction of the ancient forest area outside Hylia City, "You can go through the Twisted Jungle and go to a secret vault on the outskirts, which was transformed into a fortress by Thresh, specifically used to imprison lost souls for torture.
, for his entertainment.”
"Be loyal to the royal family and obey the king's orders. This is the most basic requirement for a minister. I have to do this."
"You are right." The voice was deep and old, and the accent did not belong to Fuguang Island, but had a strong Kamavian style.
Very cold and lifeless.
"It's really rare that the soul of a fogwalker cursed by ruin can retain a trace of peace in pain."
A blue and white magic orb gathered in the palm of Ahri's right hand, and several groups of strange fox fires ignited around her. Under her control, they locked onto the dead souls in front of her and slowly circled around the three of them.
During the brief exchange between Josh and Lunessia, Gwen exhaled and shouted sweetly:
"But what you have done for him, how can we convince you? You could have stopped Hecarim from bewitching Foego, but you didn't!"
After gaining life, Gwen not only remembered sporadic memories of her time as a ragdoll, but also inherited some of the emotions of Isulde's soul fragments.
Nekrit raised his face, "But no matter what, we have a common goal now, which is to stop the Ruined King."
That guy obviously didn't cast magic, and his aura was far from the level of a "sinker", so why could it affect Gwen?
"Gwen!"
Josh narrowed his eyes and felt displeased: "Oh, you threw the blame away completely. We resisted the invasion, but we became the fault party?"
Only the highest-level predatory spirits, also known as "ghost lords" by most people, can completely retain their memories and instincts during life.
Ahri interrupted: "I think this shouldn't be the main topic we want to talk about now, right? Consultant Nekrit?"
Josh and Ah Li looked at each other, and could see the caution in each other's eyes.
Or maybe as the ruin breaks out, the earth breaks apart, and the Darkin Halberd sinks deeper into the underground, but this possibility is unlikely.
The Darkin Halberd seemed to have been hidden by someone, just like the King's Sword.
Fortunately, with the assistance of Lunessia and Ryze, Josh reacted quickly and took advantage of the gap between Tarosh's body to reshape his body to directly cut off the connection between his body and the weapon, allowing him to return to the weapon.
"I understand your concerns, Grandmaster Russell. At first, I was confused by Thresh's attempt to awaken the Ruined King, but that's what he did."
"Yeah, it's beautiful, but also..."
But even so, under the influence of the Curse of Destruction, their thoughts will be distorted, and their memories as humans are slowly being swallowed by the black mist.
"Gwen...yes, Isulde does have a doll named Gwen, the first doll she carefully sewn...but, how could you..."
Immediately afterwards, Ahri also said: "Besides, Foego is not the only successor to the Silver Throne. Kalista returned. Instead of helping her control Foego, you allowed her to be controlled by Hecarim."
Torture and interrogation by subordinates!
"The rune mage who fought against Foego, and the new leader of the Bright Sentinel... However, you have not landed in Hylia for a thousand years."
"If you doubt my sincerity..."
Nekrit stretched out his free left hand, which was very pale and clinging to the frame like dry tree bark, and probed towards Gwen from the air.
Without Josh, she doesn't know what her fate will be.
Perhaps those who suffer eternal torture and yearn for living souls in the strange mist are also myself...
"This used to be a magnificent showroom used to display ancient treasures, but now all that's left is this huge hole that can't be seen to the bottom."
However, most of these souls were strong during their lifetime, or they were people with twisted minds and amazing obsessions.
The ghost holding the scepter did not answer Josh's question directly, but said to himself: "Please don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."
"Sorry, I didn't mean that." Nekrit said, "Foego's behavior brought about the curse of ruin, which I didn't expect."
Later, Josh asked: "You participated in the original invasion of Blessing Island, right? You were a member of the invaders."
This is the fighting method Ahri has chosen to best suit himself after having mastered Vasani's spiritual magic for thousands of years.
"But we couldn't find it in Kamavia's shipwreck or in the king's chariot. Did you hide it?"
"Thresh's ritual?" Josh thought of Thresh finding and recognizing him during the Night of Souls a while ago. "What conspiracy is he playing?"
"Kalista has left. No one can stand up to the leader of Kamavia's most powerful knights alone, not even Ledros. I just want to live.
For example, Thresh, Hecarim and others are at this level.
Ah Li looked away from the flickering bottomless pit and sighed softly.
Ah Li's voice was deep, with a hint of sadness recalling the past.
Nekrit felt strange about the blue-haired girl in front of him. He looked at Gwen carefully with his pale eyes without pupils, and was suddenly surprised.
"Also, you helped open the holy mist on Blessed Light Island, right? My friend Zendakaya investigated you and found out that it was Kamavian's ancient artifact, Mikael's Crucible, which was recorded in Hylia's classics.
"Besides, I thought that Foego would repent after realizing that the water of life could not resurrect the dead. Unexpectedly, you Hylians learned the news in advance and resisted desperately."
He was silent for a long time.
Thresh has always wanted to usurp the power of the Ruined King. Josh knew this very well, but he could not take the initiative to awaken Foego, which would only make Thresh's wish come true.
But at this moment, a strange mist suddenly gathered in a safe area far away from the three people, revealing a thin ghost figure wearing a robe, a hood, a slightly stooped figure, and holding a scepter.
Nekrit opened his mouth, but could not utter any words to refute.
Seeing her weighing the magic orb in her hand, Nekrit was silent for a moment and said: "You can just call me Nekrit. I have been secretly observing you, Josh Russell, and Ahri for a long time.
.
"You can go and get it with me, but I think you will definitely not agree. You are worried that this is my trap. Then you can stop Thresh's ritual first, and then come to me at the dock. I will take those two ancient artifacts
Leave it to you."
"People only start to cherish it when it is lost. Although Fuguang Island also has unavoidable shortcomings, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, no country can match its former glory."
"The Blessed Light Island must have been beautiful in the past, right?" Gwen lost her enthusiasm for killing the Mist Walker just now and said softly, "It's a pity that I didn't get to see it."
"I remembered...I remembered who you are!"
At this moment, Gwen, who was protected by Josh and Ahri, suddenly thought of something and pushed past them to take a few steps closer to the ghost.
The ghost sighed, "A long time has passed since I had a name... In Shadow Island, we almost lost everything, and everyone turned into black mist."
"You'd better reveal your identity and find our purpose quickly." Ahri warned, "Otherwise, I don't know if you are delaying the arrival of the undead army. The deception orb in my hand may not be merciful.
noodle."
Talosh was a darkin who used the life breath of the faceless spirit born from the water of life to break free of the darkin halberd and cause trouble in Hylia.
Thresh has completely lost his humanity, while Hecarim only pursues his obsession in life, harvests souls to strengthen his body, tramples on life wantonly, and causes bloody massacres.
"Okay, okay, after all this talk, what do you want?" Ahri interrupted Nekrit impatiently.
Generally speaking, the lowest level of fog walkers can only obey the control of the black fog and the instinct to seek life, completely losing their own reason.
Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Whether it's responsibility or fault, it's all just smoke and smoke in the past... I reflected on my mistakes when I became part of the black mist, but what's the use of it?
"The curse of ruin has become an established fact, and Kamavia will eventually be run over by the wheels of history, leaving only its residue."
Therefore, it really surprised Josh and Ahri that a little fogwalker still had some sense.
"As I just said, we have the same goal, to defeat the King of Destruction. You know the dangers of the Ruined Curse better than I do. The Soul-Eating Night is spreading year by year, and sooner or later it will engulf the world.
Josh frowned suspiciously, "Are you sure he plans to awaken the Broken King?"
