lol: Bind Syndra at the start

The other party was like the evil gods that dominated the old days in the Cthulhu mythology, with layers of twisted tentacles and a mysterious body that could not be described or seen...

But unfortunately, apart from its appearance being similar to those of the Old Gods, Nagakabouros's power is fundamentally different from those of the Old Gods.

Ryan's gaze was soon responded to. Water splashes suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface, pushing the waves forward and condensing into the shape of a huge eye in the vast water.

Nagakabouros is telling Llane that she is watching Bilgewater...

Unfortunately, only Ryan saw this scene. Those believers loyal to Nagakabouros were paying attention to Gangplank's head at this time.

The hatred accumulated over the years caused them to release complex emotions at this moment, and thus they missed their Lord's revelation to the world again.

“Not Him.”

Syndra became the second person to see Nagakabouros.

Darkness is their connection, and this connection is apparently deeper than they imagined.

This often causes Ryan and Sindra to have some kind of telepathic psychological suggestion, which allows them to read and understand another person's thoughts and intentions in an instant.

For example, now, Syndra sensed a sense of doubt from Ryan, and the source of this emotion.

She turned slowly, her long silver hair sweeping behind her like a waterfall.

Her tall figure allowed her to see far away, and when her sight focused, a faint light lit up in her dark purple eyes.

Syndra looked in a direction that didn't seem to belong to Bilgewater, at least there was no trail connecting to the port.

It is a small island about a few hundred meters away from Bilgewater, and it is like a 'satellite' of this port.

A figure... or two figures suddenly appeared in Sindra's sight, but disappeared in an instant.

For ordinary people, this situation would generally be attributed to dizziness or trance, but neither of these conditions could occur in the controller of darkness...

"There's something there."

The figure appeared and disappeared in a gap of only a few microseconds, so when Sindra reminded Ryan, the island had returned to silence.

The shadowy figures of grass and trees stand on the island, like terrifying ghosts in the night.

"thing?"

Ryan looked over immediately, "What did you see?"

He didn't see what Sindra said, but the gaze that puzzled him disappeared at this moment.

"I saw it..." Sindra frowned slightly. She reached out and held Ryan's hand. The warmth from his palm made her sure that she was in reality, and not falling into that crazy and illogical dream again.

“…I thought I was dreaming again, but I did see strange things, it…I wouldn’t be surprised if they appeared in a dream.

"But this is reality. In reality, I saw a man who looked like a goat and a dog head that looked like a dark cloud?"

Sindra described what she saw uncertainly, after all, that 'thing' disappeared too quickly.

But the vague description was enough for Ryan to remember what it was.

"Qian Jue."

Ryan uttered the name of Death.

Kindred once held a lofty status in the Runeverse, and netizens who loved discussing the plot once praised it to a level that was close enough to that of the Dragon King.

However, the designer's plot modification caused Kindred's status to plummet. It went from being a god who controlled death to a worker who worked for the rules of the world, or a tool...

This world started when the designer had a crooked idea. Suddenly, many more Grim Reapers appeared. Each Grim Reaper corresponds to a species, and as the species become 'extinct', the corresponding Grim Reaper will also come to an end.

If the plot hadn't changed, Ryan might have felt uneasy because of the brief gaze he had just taken, but in the current context...

He looked at Syndra and explained gently.

"There's nothing wrong with your consciousness. What you just saw is called Kindred. They are twin beings, a combination of sheep and wolf.

"In legends, they appear after death and 'kill' the souls of those unwilling to accept the truth of death and send them into the world of the soul."

Sindra breathed a sigh of relief. Now she had fewer things to fear, but she was afraid of falling back into that madness and disorder.

"Its appearance here proves that the captain's soul can no longer do anything evil.

"He might be unwilling to die completely, but that unwillingness is meaningless. There may be people in this world who can escape death, but there is definitely no one named Planck among them."

Ryan didn't think Gangplank's soul could outrun the wolf spirit.

The other party's appearance here is more likely just a coincidence.

Almost all humans in this world know the story of the God of Death, but the crazy people who truly believe in the God of Death mostly gather in Bilgewater.

This can be seen from the background story that Kindred once disguised himself as a human and sneaked into a celebration held by those worshippers of the god of death.

The god of death is not just a cold tool, it also has its own thoughts and curiosities.

Perhaps it was simply curious about how the Pirate King would die.

...

...

And on the other side.

Somewhere, sea fog rose, almost obscuring the entire corner of the world.

A figure so light that it seemed as if it did not exist in this world slowly emerged.

"I said we shouldn't spy on them."

A gentle female voice stirred up the nearby sea mist.

"But aren't you curious about them, Lamb?"

"Curious, but they are not those ignorant humans, they are dangerous."

"I thought you had stopped caring about danger." The black mist surged and transformed into a wolf's head. "I'm actually curious about another thing."

"whats the matter?"

"The vultures will kill us after we are forgotten by humans, but does the legendary darkness, which can devour all, have the power to kill us before humans forget us?"

Lamb was silent for a moment because of Wolf's question. "Your idea is more dangerous than your previous action."

"I'm just saying..." Wolf Spirit changed the question.

"Sheep, do you think they are still human?"

"Perhaps."

"Darkness can make them immortal. If we can make them remember us, can we also achieve immortality?"

Yang Ling was stunned again.

But this time, she felt that Wolf Spirit’s suggestion seemed to make some sense!

Chapter 367 Vladimir's Fear

Ryan ultimately did not wait for Vladimir in Bilgewater.

On the afternoon after Planck's public execution, the sickly young man approached him and told him that Vladimir was on an expedition in a distant land.

After being separated from the center of power, this "vampire" seems to have become addicted to adventure and treasure hunting.

A lot of space is devoted to Vladimir's hobby in his background story. He once set out from Bilgewater and encountered his nephew's former subordinates, who were poked into a funnel shape by the ghostly 'skateboard shoes'.

There are many beings with long lifespans in the Rune Universe, and these beings often have extremely special hobbies or pursuits... But no matter how special their behavior is, their core driving force is no different from that of ordinary people.

It's nothing more than those complicated emotions, whether it's hatred, anger, or fear...

Ryan came to this conclusion from Sindra and the Silly Beauty.

Sindra was driven by love or dependence. This troubled woman had not experienced much real life. The asceticism and imprisonment made her extremely desire for a normal life.

If Ryan had not appeared, she might have returned her misfortune to the whole world with anger, just like in the original book.

As for the silly beauty, there is no need to say much. She has always lived in fear of the tyrant.

This ancient witch was not as lucky as Miss Fortune. The latter's enemies were dead and that was it, and Gangplank had no way to transcend the underworld.

And Leblanc's enemy... that guy is about to turn the underworld into his base. In the background story, Mordekaiser was dying and living again and again, coming in and out, but no "idiot" could beat him.

Therefore, although the background story did not explain anything clearly, Ryan always felt that Vladimir also had his own fears or pursuits.

Otherwise, he would not have sent blood slaves to search for his traces everywhere, and even went so far as to rob his long-time ally Leblanc.

But this is not something I need to consider. The current market environment is a seller's market, and Vladimir is begging me.

"I won't wait for him here. I'm going to Piltover soon."

Ryan looked at the sick young man and said.

Sarah was busy restoring order, and other "heroes" in Bilgewater, such as Pike and Titan, became part of her faction because of the cooperation of the Bearded Lady.

Today, Bilgewater has become an ordinary port with almost no secrets in Ryan's eyes.

“I know you are going to Piltover. Although the master cannot make it in time, he will go directly to Piltover to find you.

"Also, the master said that if you don't mind my nagging, I can accompany you to Piltover."

The sick young man showed a flattering attitude, "I have prepared the most luxurious carriage and arranged a place for you to stay on the other side."

Ryan's eyes passed over the sick young man and looked directly out the window.

He had noticed this carriage when it arrived. If it were in his previous life, it would at least be considered a top-notch luxury car.

No one except an ascetic can resist a luxury car!

Ryan looked at the humble, sickly young man and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"You've taken a wider route, but I remember that you need to take a boat to get from Bilgewater to Piltover."

"You are right, but you can take a carriage from here to the ship. After all, the dust on the road might dirty the soles of your shoes."

This time, Ryan was silent for a moment. "Do the nobles of Noxus live such a luxurious life?"

"You should say that all nobles live like this."

"..."

Ryan never thought that after traveling through time, his imagination would be limited by poverty.

The evil aristocracy is a form of oppression and exploitation that is more blatant than capital!

嗏

"Every time I ride, those damn nobles will ride less, so...get on!"

Ryan didn't want to oppress ordinary people, but he didn't mind oppressing the nobles.

He did not believe the nonsense that oppression of the nobility was essentially oppression of ordinary people, because looking at the world in this way meant that you could do nothing.

And all his actions along the way have benefited the majority of people!

As Ryan transferred from a luxurious carriage to an even more luxurious ship, a figure appeared in the distant Noxian border.

With his scarlet robe covering his skin, Vladimir entered an alley in the city, walked some distance, and pushed open a door.

Dim light flickered inside the door, and a woman with waist-length curly brown hair was sitting in front of a canvas.

"I'll draw it on the way...Maura."

Vladimir said to the woman.

Maura was once an ordinary person, a great artist, a true painter who could put faith and soul into her paintings.

It is precisely these characteristics that made her the one chosen by Vladimir.

The latter granted the former eternal life, but before granting this gift, Vladimir did not tell her the price behind eternal life...

"You said before that art is far superior to anything else, and we shouldn't give up creating art for other things."

Maura's voice was calm; she wasn't afraid of Vladimir like the rest of his 'servants'.

Because in a sense, she is the person in the world who knows Vladimir best, except for Vladimir himself.

Vladimir's long, almost eternal life allowed him to escape death, but he could not escape loneliness.

Maura knew the meaning of her existence. Vladimir had no shortage of assistants and servants, but he lacked a...partner.

“But I also said that only in the face of life does art become insignificant.”
