he came from the void

Kahn waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's not difficult to save you once, but I'm sure Thresh won't just let you go."

"Yes." Senna said indifferently: "You'd better stay within the range of a pistol from us, otherwise you will be implicated."

"It started from the moment I saved you, the hunt of the soul lock warden..." Kahn stared at the golden lamp oil. When it burns, it does not produce an open flame, but emits a golden soft light , not dazzling.

Seeing Senna staring at him, he said slowly: "The moment Thresh saw you, he had already started his eternal hunt. You are so conspicuous in the dark, just like this lantern in front of you..."

"We came to the island to solve this problem!" Lucian couldn't hold back his excitement, and said the purpose of this trip.

"Listen to you, you seem to know the curse on me?"

"Your curse was born of an unnatural touch that lit your life, and made your life spark brighter than anyone else's."

Senna was lost in thought. That unnatural touch came from a night of soul eclipse.

The wreckage of the ship caused by the soul-eating night in the distance floated to the beach of her hometown, and the black mist in the wreckage was awakened by the touch of life, leaving a curse mark in her body.

From then on, darkness approached her like a dying moth to the fire of life.

"Do you want to know what touched you?" Kahn asked.

Senna nodded, this curse has plagued her almost her whole life.She never dared to stay too much in one place, because this curse prevented the black mist from being restricted by the time of Soul Eclipse Night, chasing her all the time.

"That is the soul of a Sentinel of Light, and he gave you his vitality."

"Why would he do that?"

"He wants you to return to the black mist. In the form of a soul, the Sentinels have a lot of lost knowledge to tell you, including the origin of the curse of ruin, the source of your curse...but the dead can only talk to the dead."

"He killed Senna!" Lucian was so excited that he almost knocked over the lantern when he heard the conversation between the two.

What kind of soul form, this is clearly for Senna to die in the black mist!

"Sentinel of Light, fear no darkness." Senna said to him: "If this is my destiny, I should ride the black mist into Thresh's lantern to see what's inside, this is what our church has always been ultimate purpose."

"There must be other ways..." Lucian was powerless to refute, the meaning of the existence of the Light Sentinels is to fight against the shadows.But why did she choose Senna... Does this curse have to be separated to solve it?

If this is the case, it is better to escape endlessly.

But what if one day they get old and can't escape?After all, you still have to face the curse.

Looking at the two people who were silent, Kahn began to feel that he had talked too much.

However, the decision to befriend the two light sentinels is definitely right, and he will probably need the help of these two people in the coming soul eclipse night.

And taking a step back, if Senna lifted the curse of Shadow Isle because of this, he would still be responsible for a third of it.

At that time, the Sentinel of Light will not have to face the shadows anymore, will they be able to help them deal with the void?

"Don't rush to make a decision. This matter won't be resolved in a short time. The Shadow Island has been sinking for 1000 years, and it's not too far behind in the past few years. Just think that this is a desperate choice. It's better to think about it first. Others, such as helping me find a holy object..."

After Kahn said this, the cold faces of the two men slightly improved.

Their long-standing dogma made him think too seriously about merging into the black mist. If Senna could retain her consciousness after entering the black mist, it would actually be equivalent to realizing immortality in disguise.And from Kahn's tone, it seems that Senna can still come out of the black mist, but she can't exist in human form.

"What are you looking for?"

Chapter 3 and Six: The Library Fortress

"What are you looking for?" Senna asked.

The Light Sentinel Order originated from Blessed Island, so there are some records of the holy objects on the island. Although many of them have long been lost, the thing that Kahn is looking for may be the one that still has records.

"A bell whose sound can affect the spiritual realm."

The reason why the curse of ruin caused this magical disaster is that magic tore up the barrier between the material and spiritual realms, allowing the two to have a fusion effect.

Undead are creatures between life and death produced under this effect, and anything that can shake the spiritual realm can affect them.

"Sorry, we didn't know there was such a thing." Senna had never heard of such a treasure, and if there was one, she would find it by herself to deal with the undead.But considering the grace of saving her life, she still told Kahn what she knew: "But you can go to the fortress to have a look. There is a lot of knowledge recorded there, and there are many treasures stored there. Maybe there is something you want. Hope These tips can help you."

In this regard, Lucian did not have much opportunity to speak.

Senna started the sentinel road with Lucian's father since she was a child, and Lucian was led in by Senna after his father died.

In the religious group, he was a junior who joined Biina more than ten years later, so he naturally didn't know as much as this partner who was also a teacher and a friend.

"I see." Kahn held Kai'Sa and stood up together, ready to leave: "I have told you the source of the curse, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course I tried my best to get rid of it." Lucian looked at Senna affectionately and said, "I can't let my beloved live in fear anymore."

Sarah looked at the two of them and felt a chill. Even Kahn and Kaisha didn't speak so nastyly, but the physical contact was obviously more excessive, and she, a female hooligan, could often blush.

"Your feelings are touching, but you can't deal with Thresh yet. Why don't you leave Shadow Island by boat with us, and challenge again when you have enough ability." Kahn persuaded.

"No need." Senna smiled wryly: "We don't want to burden you, as long as I have a soul-calling physique, you will also be attacked by the undead with me."

"Okay then." Kahn glanced at his pocket watch: "It's still early, let's go to the fortress and leave before dark. If you encounter a difficult situation, come to me."

Karn picked up the lantern, extinguished the flame, and left with Kai'Sa and Sarah.The couple dared to come to Shadow Isle, there must be something to protect them from the black mist.

He walked decisively, as if he just met the two of them by chance.

Kahn left the Temple of Light, but what he didn't know was... not long after he left, the sound of chains dragging across the floor suddenly sounded in the hall.

……

The fortress was completely unfamiliar to Karn, so they walked very slowly, spending most of their time understanding what they saw on the road.

For example, when I first entered the fortress, I encountered an open-air device. A huge semicircle of the tropic of the moon was embedded in the circular pit, and the rune circuit on it was still emitting a faint light.

Then there is a stone bridge over the abyss, with huge mage statues standing on the walls of the exits on both sides. Below the bridge is an impenetrable fog, bottomless.

After crossing the bridge, you come to a spiral staircase.

I don't know why, these stone steps of the stairs are not connected to each other, but they all float in their respective positions.There are no handrails on the outside of the stairs, and if you are not careful, you will fall down, so the three of them walked slowly step by step while leaning on the stone pillars against the inside.

The stone steps are very slippery, and you can even see the bottomless abyss below through the gap.To ease the tension, Kai'Sa talked to Karn.

"You seem a little regretful." Because Kahn was holding the lamp in his hand, she didn't hold his hand.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Kahn asked.

"When you left the temple, you seemed a little bit reluctant to part with them."

"Is there? Why can't I see it." Sarah interrupted.

"Because you're not me." Kai'sa raised the corner of her mouth, and only she could feel the slightest changes in Kahn's body.

He was very resolute when he left, but he left a turning point in the last sentence, as if he was looking forward to meeting the two of them again in the future.

"Yes." Kahn admitted, "I want to lure those two Light Sentinels into the pirate ship. If they follow us back to Bilgewater on the night of the soul eclipse, they will have to help deal with the undead on board."

"So you were thinking about it."

"Pay attention to your step, the stone steps are very slippery."

After walking the stairs, here we are.

The main structure is a huge arch, and there are a large number of bookshelves on the walls on both sides, which are tens of meters high.

But under the arch, there is no road.Looking down from a high place, one can only see endless rays of light that seem to protrude from the core of the earth, and the depth cannot be discerned. Many books are quietly floating in the light.

"Kan, there are so many books, your favorite." Kai'Sa approached the books floating in the air. Seeing that she was too close to the cliff, Kaen pulled her back a little.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't you my favorite?"

"It's coming again, you can stop for a while." Sarah glanced around: "Don't you feel something is wrong?"

"I feel it." Kahn replied.

To be honest, he was very excited to see so many books in the first place, but there is a question that has not been answered since he entered it.

"On the way, we are getting closer and closer to the place where the disaster broke out, but we can hardly see any undead. Although the skin armor shields the breath of life, it is not impossible to not see a single undead."

"There's one over there." Kai'Sa pointed to a desk in front of a certain bookshelf, where an undead entangled in scroll pages was frantically writing his torment in scribbled notes. Whitespace.

"It's not this non-aggressive kind," Kahn explained. "I mean, we've come a long way too easily."

"Forget it, don't think about it if you don't know the reason, read the book first, and take away what is useful."

The three dispersed, and everyone went to different floors. Kahn walked to one of the bookshelves and took down a book.

This is a teaching book on how to enchant weapons. Kahn remembered that enchanted weapons can deal with the undead. After looking at them for a second, he carried them away under his armpit. If he took them back, he might be able to enchant the sailor equipment of the Siren arms.

Then he rummaged through and found some books on elemental magic and arcane magic, which were quite useful to him, so he took them back and studied them when he had time.

What Kahn didn't know was that during the time he was rummaging through the books, Lucian and Senna supported each other and fled into the fortress.

Behind him, there was the terrifying sound of chains mopping the ground, and the sound of unhurried footsteps.

Chapter 3 The ghosts linger (Leader Sweetheart Elf c Yue plus more 12/12)

Lucian supported Senna, and ran across the courtyard, across the stone bridge, and headed for the fortress.

Senna was injured, they couldn't run fast, and there was always the terrifying sound of chains mopping the ground behind them, and Thresh's unhurried footsteps when his boots stepped on the ground, like a note of death, haunting.

The sound of the chains changed to a rhythmic pounding shortly after they had mounted the downward stairs.

Although he couldn't see the top through the stone pillar, the sound of iron chains falling on the stone steps one by one, and Thresh's empty eye sockets burning with joyous will-o'-the-wisps unconsciously appeared in his mind.

He was just above the stone steps, very close to them.

Senna looked up, and suddenly saw a figure standing on the stone steps, not an undead, but a person she was very familiar with.

Veteran Urias—her mentor, Lucian's father, relatives who were implicated and killed by her.

The grumpy old soldier who had reassured her with rough instruction was now looking at her with kindly eyes, eerily strange.

Senna immediately realized that this was Thresh's conspiracy, but her footsteps were still subconsciously stopped.

Even a moment's hesitation was enough to spell doom, and her steps lost pace with her running, and she lost her balance and fell forward.

And in front of him is the abyss.

There was no protection on the outside of the spiral stone steps, Senna fell out of the corridor and fell into the abyss.

She watched the stone steps get farther and farther away from her, and her heart quickly fell into the abyss.

At this moment, another face that reassured her suddenly appeared in front of the stone steps, and a strong arm grabbed her wrist.

"Don't give up!" Lucian gritted his teeth and said.

He was really afraid that Senna would just give up her life and enter Thresh's lantern to find the so-called answer.

Just three words gave Sena great strength, she also held Lucian's wrist, and was gradually pulled back to the stone steps.

The sound of Thresh's footsteps still echoed in the empty space. He didn't seem to be in a hurry for this moment, and would always wait until the moment when the prey saw hope, and then extinguish it with his own hands.

They continued to flee downwards, and this chase would not come to an end until they found Kahn and the others.

……

Kahn's fingers slid across the book cover, peeling off layers of long-accumulated dust, revealing names that had been dusty for a long time.

He noticed a scroll, took it down and opened it, and found that it contained the secret of the holy stone.

The holy stone is the main body of the weapons in Lucian's hands, which can transform faith into the power of holy light and destroy evil spirits.

Suddenly, a familiar magical breath was felt, which belonged to the power of holy light of the holy stone.

Kahn moved the helmet closer to the scroll in front of him, wanting to study which part was made of holy stone.

But he immediately discovered that the source of this breath was at the entrance.

Is it...

Sure enough, when he looked at the door, the Lucian couple also appeared there with their arms.

He hurried over with the scroll, and before he arrived, he heard Lucian's shout.

"Here he comes! Help us!"

As soon as the words fell, Thresh appeared at the door.

"There are so many flavors of torture to enjoy."

There were eerie will-o'-the-wisps burning in Thresh's eye holes, and cruel laughter echoed in the empty space.He raised the lantern, opened the Nether Prison with his own hands, and released countless tortured souls.

The undead roared out of the door like foam from a beer keg.

Thresh turned the lantern, and those souls who wanted to escape began to elongate and deform, and were dragged back to the prison by a suction force to continue to suffer.

And the rest here are all the ghosts whose minds have been completely twisted after being tortured by Thresh. They can't wait to inflict the torture they have suffered for thousands of years on others, and drag their souls into prisons to satisfy themselves. sick mind.
