lol: Bind Syndra at the start

Ryan's plan can expand the number and scale of believers, but the real foundation still depends on this group of old believers.

Only with them as the framework can the belief system become more solid.

A petite figure ran out of the temple. Isa seemed to be familiar with every old believer.

When passing by, the old people always smile kindly.

The girl kept running towards Ryan.

"Brother Ryan, are you here to pick it up?"

Isha lifted the tree up.

She has unique communication skills with Shujian.

So I know Ryan is coming and why he is coming.

"Yes, I am going to a faraway place where he has friends."

"Friends of seeds?" Isa widened her eyes.

She thought that the only magical plant in the world was the tree lily.

Ryan: "Yes, maybe when I come back, I can bring its friends back too."

It seems that Dashu’s situation in Shadow Island is not very good, so he came here specifically to pick up Shujian.

I just want to find a tree of the same species. After all, as plants, it may be easier for us to communicate.

If it works well this time, maybe I can use it when I meet Jera in the future.

"Then we have an agreement!"

Isa handed the tree rabbit to Ryan.

At this moment, a tender sprout sprouted from the black seed, passing through the palm of Isa's hand, as if answering on behalf of Ryan.

......

And almost at the same time.

A scarlet figure appeared at the gate of Piltover.

Vladimir's pale face turned rosy at this moment, but if you look closely, you will find that... there seems to be a red light flowing in the depths of his eyes.

Restoring bloodline comes at a price.

For Vladimir, the price is to relive his life all over again.

This timeless experience made the hatred that had been accumulating for a long time become fresh.

But fortunately, revenge is not far away.

Vladimir took a deep breath.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

The figure's slender figure and charming beauty attracted the attention of almost half of the street.

Vladimir frowned and asked doubtfully, "Elise?"

-

Thanks to Director Zhang, the crazy man on board, for the reward!

Chapter 423 Clever Elise

Whether or not the silly beauty is smart is debatable, but once she sees the benefits and discovers something profitable, her efficiency is really high.

After all, if she didn't have such strong motivation, she wouldn't have had so many brilliant achievements.

When Syndra went back to cosplay, she had already contacted Elise through her own channels.

The latter was no longer the Noxian noblewoman who allowed her to control her at will. The Spider God cursed her, but also gave her strength and confidence.

Although Elise is not visible in the waves of the Noxian Empire, she has quietly become a mysterious legend and has been weaving her own web of power in the shadows for hundreds of years.

In a way, she's imitating LeBlanc's approach.

They also have long lifespans and terrifying powers...

Elise felt that she had become another legend of Noxus, and that she had the same status and confidence as LeBlanc.

Therefore, after reading LeBlanc's narration, she chose to refuse to cooperate with LeBlanc.

But for Leblanc, her favorite 'partner' is someone like Elise.

Because no one knows better than her what happens to the fear hanging deep in the soul after possessing great power and nearly eternal life.

That fear will become stronger and more distant than you, like the sky above your head, forever enveloping you within its scope.

And the way to drive such people to do things for you is also very simple.

That is to tell her that this thing may help her get rid of that fear.

LeBlanc knew the price she was willing to pay to escape her fear, so she knew even more... no matter what Elise said or thought, in the end her actions could not deceive others.

She herself may have missed out on some of the benefits, and she also taught Sindra the magic of transformation.

But from the perspective of pleasing the darkness, LeBlanc felt that she had made a profit, because she knew that what she promised Syndra had been completed.

Everyone thinks she is stupid, but she thinks she is wise but appears foolish.

The fact was just as she thought. After rejecting LeBlanc's proposal, Elise rushed from Noxus to Piltover overnight.

She didn't believe Leblanc's words, but she was unwilling to give up any possibility.

......

Iris's figure attracted many eyes, but she had long been accustomed to this kind of attention.

After all, hundreds of years ago, she was famous in Noxus for her beauty, and she used her beauty as a weapon to capture the young patriarch.

After being forced to become the 'henchman' of the Despicable Throat, the evil curse added a charm to it that ordinary people could not resist.

Every year, countless men become obsessed with her and are willing to sacrifice their lives for her every move and smile.

Those foolish men were willing to sacrifice their lives and even their souls just to see her smile.

The scarlet silk was draped over her body, and the bulge on her back did not look strange, but instead made her waist look even slimmer.

Her long, white legs were like some kind of soul-sucking device. This wasn't just an adjective, because every year countless men would kneel before her, holding her legs and slowly losing their lives.

But at this moment, Iris suddenly noticed a strange gaze. There was no fascination or admiration in this gaze, only suspicion and scrutiny.

She turned her head and saw Vladimir, also wearing a scarlet robe.

They had some contact with each other, but not much.

Iris's perception of Vladimir is that of a mysterious and powerful imperial shadow.

Vladimir knew a little more about Elise, but Leblanc hid the most crucial part from him.

He only knew that Iris obtained power from a strange being and that sacrifices needed to be offered every year, but he didn't know where that strange being was or what power it had.

But Iris revealed her purpose as soon as she opened her mouth, "I will not cooperate with Black Rose."

?

Vladimir's eyes shifted. "I know you don't trust her. After all, she has such a big appetite and always makes simple things complicated. But are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Elise was surprised. "You want to go to the Shadow Isles too?"

She knew that Vladimir and LeBlanc were not completely bound together, and that this man was much more down-to-earth than LeBlanc.

At least from her understanding, many of Black Rose's plans were finally implemented because of this man.

If she had to choose a partner, she would prefer the man in front of her.

A smile appeared on the corner of Vladimir's mouth. He knew that Leblanc had helped Lai and the others create some kind of opportunity.

It turns out that the person who controls Elise is on Shadow Island!

"Yes."

"What's the reason?"

"I am an ancient Kamavia." Vladimir revealed his secret.

As the only person who can enter and exit the Shadow Isles freely, Elise is no stranger to the stories of the Shadow Isles.

She knew that the last emperor of ancient Kamavia and the last elite of Kamavia were buried on the Shadow Isles.

He also knew that the legendary King's Blade, which was regarded as an inheritance by the Kamavia royal family, was also on that island.

She once wanted to get her hands on the legendary sword, but the Vile Throat stopped her from doing so.

The Spider God has no desire to conflict with his neighbors.

"So you want to retrieve the King's Blade?"

"Yes." Vladimir was too lazy to explain.

"I can take you there, but in exchange you have to help me deal with a powerful being."

"no problem."

"Before that, we need to find two special sacrifices." Iris hesitated for a moment, then decided to reveal the information she had 'extracted' from Leblanc. After all, secrets are only valuable when spoken. "Leblanc said they possess some special power that can poison any living creature!"

She herself didn't quite believe that such a person existed, but there was no cost to try.

After all, when it comes to sacrifices, the Vile Throat can never have too many.

"No need to look for them. I know where they are." Facing Iris's suspicious gaze, Vladimir said with an unwavering expression, "If you can extract information from Leblanc, so can I."

Seeing Vladimir's dusty appearance, Iris chose to believe him.

In her opinion, Vladimir, like herself, had received the news from Noxus and rushed over at short notice.

"Then let's go. I'm already beginning to wonder what the pale lady's expression will be when she finds out she's been making wedding dresses for others."

Elise enjoyed the pleasure of biting back at her former 'boss'.

And Vladimir also showed a smile from the heart, "Come on, I will take you to catch them now."

Chapter 424 Going to sea

Vladimir doesn't like LeBlanc's personality very much. He thinks she is too calculating and always fails to get the job done.

If this kind of personality were to happen in ancient Kamavia, he would probably die at the hands of his brothers and sisters within three years.

But...LeBlanc was the person he had known the longest in his long life, and she had schemed against many people except him.

In short, compared to the Iris in front of him, he supports Leblanc.

While watching Elise taunting LeBlanc, Vladimir didn't show much, because he knew he didn't need to show anything.

He only needed to lead Iris to meet the two 'sacrifices' and satisfy the servants of the Spider God.

Two particularly eye-catching figures crossed the streets of Piltover.

On both sides of the white stone road, many people stopped to look at them. After all, even in the City of Progress, it was rare to see such good-looking people.

Vladimir had to use blood magic to hide his and Iris's figures before the road was restored to order.

Iris noticed this move and asked tentatively, "The Black Rose and the Commander fought so fiercely some time ago, and even the Midalda family was involved. In the end, you won?"

Vladimir: "We didn't win."

Elise asked, "Who won then?"

Vladimir: "Piltover and Zaun won."

"impossible!"

Elise didn't believe these two border towns could withstand the advance of Noxus.

But Vladimir didn't explain anything further. His manor was just ahead. "The sacrifice is just ahead. We have to hurry."

......

......

After Ryan returned from Zaun, he went to the back garden.

He picked a flower from the cluster of night flowers and handed it to Shu Jian, "Preserve its vitality."

The tree sprout grew a leaf of just the right size to wrap around the night flower, and then slowly returned to its tree species state.
