lol: Bind Syndra at the start

"..."

After hearing the name, Ryan fell silent.

Using the word Ganges to describe this river is indeed more appropriate than using the word Yellow Spring to describe it.

I can only say that whoever came up with this name is a genius!

Ledros continued to explain, "No being can find that location under the interference of the black fog..."

Ryan looked at Ledros, knowing there would probably be a 'but' at the end.

"...But we don't need to find it, because I've discovered a more extreme way to get there directly."

Ledros pointed to the roiling black river below. "Let's jump directly from here. If we can avoid being bewitched by the vengeful spirits within, we'll reach a valley where the king lies sleeping."

Ryan: "I believe you, but I want to know under what circumstances did you find this method to reach the valley?"

“For a while, I hoped to reach a true end…” Ledros said with a sigh, “But in the end, I found that any attempt to reach an end would only make me more sober.”

He once again grasped Kalista's hand, "I'll jump first, you guys follow."

Done.

The two evil spirits jumped into the river below without hesitation.

As they were about to touch the water surface, whirlpools appeared around them.

It was as if the undercurrent hidden in the river was suddenly pushed to the surface by some force.

The sudden splash of water was filled with malicious vengeful spirits, which transformed into translucent spirits and drilled into the bodies of Ledros and Kalista.

The next second, the black river water completely covered it.

Ryan took Sindra's hand.

If it were somewhere else, he would also want to say the words "If you dance, I will dance too."

But looking at the densely packed evil spirits like maggots below, he saved this word for later use.

"I will protect you."

He said to Sindra.

The horrific scene below had no deterrent effect on Syndra.

But after hearing Ryan's words, she leaned towards him obediently and said, "Thank you."

"It should."

The two men took a step forward at the same time and fell into the filthy black river.

But this time, no waves were stirred up. The black river surface seemed to have some subjective will and moved away to both sides, leaving a space just big enough for two figures to pass through.

Those vengeful spirits with bared fangs and claws did not pounce forward, but instead fled madly to a farther distance, fearing that they would be hit if they swam too slowly.

"We should have followed them." Vladimir felt a little regretful.

But facing Maura's gaze, he sighed and took out the blood beads he had stored for a long time, "Hold me tight."

"it is good."

The power of blood magic cannot frighten the black fog.

But it can separate the black river water.

Finally, it was Yorick's turn.

He turned his head and looked at the Mist Maid behind him.

The latter seemed to recall something, "You can use the water of life..."

"What are you thinking about?" Yorick smiled innocently. "If a vengeful spirit attacks me later, remember to stand in front of me."

The Maid of Mist was stunned for a moment, then uttered a resentful voice: "%JPY...%$&*%...$...!"

Chapter 454: Deep in the Black Mist

Ryan didn't know what the others were going through.

Because both the black river water and the vengeful spirits trapped in it avoided him and Sindra.

As they passed through the hole hidden at the bottom of the river, the space around them became chaotic again.

This chaos is not like the previous one on the rift, except that the surrounding fragmented space will be replaced by other space.

Instead, it was more like the feeling Ryan had when he was dragged into the time tunnel by the Hextech core in Zaun.

It was as if one's existence was cut out and then thrown into another space that was completely different from the previous one.

But the previous "teleportation" was very fast, and Ryan hardly felt anything special. It was like he simply blinked his eyelids and the surroundings turned into a time tunnel.

This time, the 'teleportation' was very rough, and the whole process was obviously accompanied by a dizziness and violent shaking that affected the soul.

Subconsciously, Ryan wanted to hold Sindra beside him to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable due to the shaking.

But after his hands touched, he suddenly felt that the dizziness and violent shaking disappeared.

Sindra turned her head, and from her reaction it was clear that she was not affected at all.

Instead, after noticing Ryan's surprise, a smile appeared on his cold face and he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"..."

Ryan was silent for a moment.

He felt that Syndra was not affected, perhaps because her soul strength was stronger than his.

After all, it was the 'incarnation of darkness' that had been sealed in Ionia for so many years. The little movement that the Curse of Ruin could create, after being freed from the forced strengthening of the editor, was simply unable to compete with the darkness.

As for who is protecting whom.

Ryan struggled for a moment, then figured it out.

What's embarrassing about hugging your wife's thigh?

Those who say they don’t want to hug someone simply can’t.

......

The space stabilized in the next second.

The darkness around them quickly faded, as if the river water had turned into black fog again.

And even after turning into black mist, they still did not stop this trend.

Ryan watched the black mist slowly condense, and then watched it disappear bit by bit.

This time, it was not because of fear of darkness that they retreated to a distance, but they disappeared in the true sense.

It seems that this place is not where they should appear.

Moving his sight further, Ryan found himself standing in a valley.

On both sides are towering mountain walls, carved with many amazing statues and patterns.

Behind it are countless magnificent buildings hidden in the shadows. The countless seemingly messy lines are matched together, giving people a sense of extremely harmonious regularity.

This seems to be the center of Fukumitsu Island, but now it has completely become a "ruin" over the years...

This scene reminded Ryan of a certain saying: Civilization without humans is meaningless.

The mountain is still there;

The sculpture is still there;

The building is still there.

But when humans become vengeful spirits, the former fireworks of civilization will lose their brilliance and color.

Three black whirlpools appeared out of nowhere nearby.

Ledros and Kalista were the first to come out, looking a little tired;

Vladimir and Maura followed closely behind. Maura was obviously in much better condition than the evil spirit, but Vladimir's face became even paler.

Finally, it was Yorick and the Maiden of the Mist. The former still had a simple smile on his face, while the latter seemed to have lost the strength to even sneer or insult.

"This is it."

Ledros said to Lion, "We can go straight in."

"There's someone inside." Ryan said, looking into the depths of the valley.

"Yes, Viego is in there." After being baptized by the river water again, Ledros even dared to call him by his name.

"I mean, there are a lot of 'people' in there."

Without the interference and influence of the black fog, Ryan's perception ability can cover a farther distance.

This time Ledros's expression changed.

"It's Hecarim and the Iron Legion." Kalista spoke in front of everyone for the first time.

Of all the people present, no one knew Hecarim better than her.

After all, the other party was her nominal fiancé, and the engagement between the two was finalized by Viego himself.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the Curse of Ruin, she might have already married that hungry wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Even now, the mad king still believes in that evil spirit?" Yorick couldn't help but speak out.

As an honest and simple gravedigger, he could not understand why such a twisted and complicated relationship could last for a thousand years.

"Viego may not believe him, but Viego can only believe him."

Lion explained to the honest man and Syndra, who also had a puzzled expression beside him, "Viego may have known for a long time that Hecarim had selfish motives, but for a king, it's not surprising for his subordinates to have selfish motives. On the contrary, it would be a bit strange if they didn't have any selfish motives.

"What he cares about is whether that person's selfish motives are in line with his own wishes. A thousand years ago, he might have also wanted to take revenge on the murderer who plotted against the queen, but due to the weak national strength of Kamavia, he could never find a reasonable excuse.

"After all, he is an indecisive person, and he disregarded the lives of countless people just for his own selfish interests. This is a serious offense for the king.

"Hercarim happened to appear at this time, and this ambitious man saw a reasonable excuse. He could put all the blame on Hecarim. As for himself, the most he could bear was the reputation of a treacherous man who trusted the evil."

Syndra: "But in the end he died."

"Before he set out, he certainly didn't think he would die."

After all, no matter how decadent Kamavia is, it is still a huge empire.

No matter how "powerful" Fukumitsu Island is, can it still compare to Ionia?

There is indeed no shortage of strong people in this world, but the thinking of the strong people in this world always has problems!

“As for now…” Lion looked at Ledros and Kalista, “The king’s most trusted general and chief greatswordsman have already defected. What else can he do? Make another mistake, of course.”

Calista and Ledros did not contradict Lion.

And this silence is a silent agreement.

"You are worthy of being the descendant of my good father." Vladimir once again expressed his contempt for his own bloodline at this time.

Viego's behavior reminded him of his beloved father who dedicated himself to the Darkin but declared to the outside world that he was willing to sacrifice himself for the country.

This memory made his pale face turn rosy.

The blood beads that had been treasured for a long time floated on his fingertips.

At this moment, the quiet ground suddenly shook.

"Boom boom boom..."

The rumbling sound of horse hooves echoed continuously in the valley, as if the entire valley had turned into a clanging war drum.

Chapter 455 Iron Group

One after another, dark and huge figures emerged from the valley, each figure was extremely tall.

When they were neatly arranged in a straight line, it was like a one-story-high wall erected on flat ground.

The black mist spread out again, and under the influence of the curse, the armor of the knights glowed with a cold light.

The simple armor style continues the style of Kamavica, and even clear characters are retained in different positions of the armor.

These characters represent the noble oaths they personally took during the ceremony of knighthood.

But now... when the former knights have become half-man, half-horse "monsters", those precious oaths have become wasteland trampled under their horse's hooves.

“They are stronger than before,” Ledros warned.
