Hercules Walk

Chapter 214 Karthus
"this is nothing."

Wang Dali also smiled back at Lacus.

"There is nothing wrong with standing up for one's lover, but since he has stood up, he must be prepared to accept failure. He is not the only member of the Zhanzheng College. His self-righteous face is really disgusting."

"Member Raleigh is only 37 years old this year. He has superb fire magic. It is said that he has two magic props left over from the ancient times. He is the youngest member of the War College. Perhaps, he lost himself in such achievements and halos. Bar."

From Lux's tone, she also didn't take this congressman seriously, but it's no wonder.

Lux herself is the little princess of the crown guard family, one of the best in Demacia, and is proficient in radiance magic. She was absorbed by the radiance, a secret magic association in Demacia, and might be able to take the position of president in the future.

Just relying on a member of Zhanzheng College, I am afraid there is really no way to do anything to her.

"Fire magic?"

Wang Dali raised his eyebrows at Lax's introduction that deliberately revealed the other party's details.

"Looking at his pale face, I thought he was practicing soul magic."

"Soul magic is not so easy to practice. Except for the Qianjue Cult, there are very few people who know how to practice soul magic."

While the two were chatting, the ship continued to sail on the sea.Under Planck's control, the ship braved the wind and waves like a swordfish, and quickly headed towards the Shadow Island.

In addition to the heroes on board, there are also sailors that Elise often uses to go to and from the Shadow Island.On the one hand, this is used as a cover, on the other hand, it is impossible for Planck to handle such a large ship by himself.

As time passed, night fell, and the surroundings began to become dark.An inexplicable chill came with the fog, and Elise signaled the sailors to light their lights.

The kerosene used in this lamp is not ordinary kerosene, but boiled with various ingredients from human body fat.After the wick is lit, a miserable green flame emerges. With just a few lights, the atmosphere on the deck becomes gloomy.

The direction is basically determined, and Planck no longer has to take the helm.He let Elise's sailors take the helm, frowned and cursed at the green lights around him.

"Damn it, I know this business is not easy to do."

……

"The scope of the black mist has become larger."

Standing on the deck, Elise said to the wandering mage Ryze and Councilor Raleigh beside her.

"Usually, it will take at least half an hour for the black mist to encounter us."

Her words made Ryze and Representative Raleigh frown at the same time, which is not a good sign.

The surface of the sea was as calm and dark as a mirror, and the air seemed frozen, and there was no whisper of the breeze, only the hideous requiem from who knows where.

"he came."

Listening to the faint singing, Elise frowned slightly.

"Who?"

The wandering mage asked her seriously.Just based on this singing voice that can go straight to the soul, he knows that the other party is definitely not an easy character to dismiss.

"Ghost of the Shadow Isles, wanderer of the black mist, singer of death - Karthus."

Black mist rose from the water.There were faintly discernible shadows floating in the mist, sharp claws and a huge mouth flashed by.Again the hideous Requiem rang out from the sea, louder now, and mingled with the soul-stirring death-knell.

"Go down, you two, don't be discovered by Karthus."

Concentrating on nodding to the wandering mage and Mr. Rayleigh, Elise shouted at her subordinates.

"Let the crew gather on deck."

The elegy of lost souls lingers in my ears, and the rhythm of the elegy reveals endless sorrow.The black mist rolled over the ship's railing, followed by the howling and screaming of the undead.Wraiths flitted over the heads of the rank and file on deck like the chorus of death.

However, these crew members have followed Elise to and from Shadow Island many times, and although they are still trembling with fear, they are not screaming sharper than a female voice.

"Why, don't you go down?"

Plank, the catastrophe of the ocean, stood beside Elise, ignoring the ghosts floating in the sky, and staring at the black fog that gradually surrounded the ship ahead.

"I'm not too scared, let me see what kind of ruthless characters can come out of this black mist."

Soon, a figure emerged from the mist.He was tall, broad-shouldered, and wore a tattered overcoat like a priest from ancient times, but his shoulders and dry skull were all armed like a warrior.

A book was tied with an iron chain around his waist, and he held a long cane in his hand, which was densely engraved with counting symbols.A ghostly light shone from the tip of the cane, and this faint pale light illuminated the entire deck.

In his other hand a will-o'-the-wisp burned like a fallen star.

"Welcome, Ms. Elise. You're here again this year."

Unlike his appearance, his voice is very pleasant, with a rhythm that is willing to fascinate people.

"Karthus, I'm glad you're not dead."

Elise greeted the armored ghost.

"What an interesting topic."

From the position of Karthus's head came a series of chuckles.Although he couldn't see his face hidden under the helmet clearly, the expression should be smiling.

"I am obviously dead, but I can still act like a living person. So, am I dead or not?"

"The time is almost up, Karthus. The spider god is about to wait, and I don't have time to play philosophical games with you here."

The expression on Elise's face was indifferent. Karthus liked to see the rich expressions on people's faces the most. This paralyzed expression could effectively reduce his interest.

But this time Elise's experience didn't work.

"Of course I can let you go, but Ms. Elise, some of your crew members don't seem to be ordinary people."

Karthus took a meaningful look at the cabin, where he felt a huge threat—even though he didn't know what it was, his intuition told him that it was very dangerous.

"Because of the recent fall of the Pirate King, the pirates in Bilgewater are all vying for this position. I'm here to prevent accidents from happening."

Elise's expression became even colder, even showing a hint of disgust.

"And I'm going to enter the Shadow Island, do I still need to report to you?"

"Of course not, please continue sailing, Ms. Elise, I'm just passing by."

Bowing slightly to Elise to express his apology, Karthus left with countless wraiths around him.

Elise breathed a sigh of relief, but her body was still tense, and the possibility of Karthus returning could not be ruled out.

"Speed ​​up, let's get out of here."

She gave instructions to the sailors around her.
