LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 520 Preparation
From then on, the young king issued a mad order, even if it meant searching the entire Runeland, to find medicine or a way to save the queen.

However, the queen's condition worsened. Rage and despair overwhelmed him. Every coin in the treasury was used to treat the queen.

But all was in vain. Isolde died on her sickbed, and Viego was consumed by madness.

His search for a cure becomes desperate and irrational.

He could not accept the death of his queen and sacrificed all the treasures and wealth of the kingdom just to get her back. As the whole country fell into chaos, Viego locked himself with Isolde's body and hid from the world, his heart filled with hatred and violence.

Until one day, the people he sent out brought back news about Fukumitsu Island, where it was said that the water could heal all injuries and illnesses.

He immediately took the queen's body to Fukumitsu Island, but he learned that even Fukumitsu Island could do nothing about the dead queen.

He had already gone mad, and attacked the sanctuary recklessly, breaking into the very center of Fukumitsu Island and immersing his deceased wife in the overflowing water of Fukumitsu.

Then, the Curse of Ruin was triggered, and the entire Fukumitsu Island was destroyed.

This is the origin of the black fog.

“The mages of the Blessed Isle used their last resort to seal the Ruined King in what is now the Shadow Isles. But now, the Ruined King is about to break free of the seal.”

Senna paused here and gave everyone time to think.

“Isn’t this love-brain?”

Lux muttered quietly, thinking of the word Lucci once said.

The love-brain is definitely there!

This statement is recognized by many people. There is nothing wrong with being in love, as long as it does not harm others or yourself.

But how many people did Viego hurt for the queen back then? Even today, a thousand years later, there are still people suffering from the persecution of the black fog.

"That is to say, after so much time has passed, he still hasn't given up the idea of ​​reviving the queen?"

At this time, Sarah asked.

"Yes." Senna nodded and continued, "Back then, Viego failed to successfully resurrect the queen, but instead caused the outbreak of the Curse of Ruin. During that period, due to the influence of the curse, the queen's soul was torn into pieces and flew to an unknown place."

Everyone's brains were working well. After listening to this, Illaoi said, "So, the black fog that spread all over the world was actually his search for the queen's soul fragments?"

"Nine times out of ten, yes."

Senna nodded again. "But Bilgewater's annual Soul-Devour Night is simply because it is too close to the Shadow Isles."

These words made the people in Bigang feel helpless, and they lamented that they were too unlucky.

The first to be persecuted by the black fog.

Everyone was thinking silently at this time, and Senna was silent for a few seconds after witnessing it, and then continued: "Before this, the Ruined King had been sleeping in the seal, and the Black Mist was just passively affected by him. But now, I have a strong premonition that he has awakened and is breaking the seal."

"Once he breaks through the seal of Fukumitsu Island, the black fog will inevitably return, and it will be on a larger scale than any time we have seen."

As she finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.

Even though some people have not seen the real Soul-Eating Night, they can still hear the danger in it.

Lucci took over the conversation at this time: "This is also the purpose of my convening this meeting. The danger of Shadow Island may affect the entire Runeland. We must prepare in advance, unite, and deal with it together."

Naturally, everyone had no objection to this.

Even if it is not for the protection of Runeland, even if it is to protect yourself and the people you cherish, you must stand up and face the black fog.

"So the question is, how should we deal with him?"

Jarvan IV spoke at this time.

Senna replied: "From what I know so far, the first thing Viego did after breaking the seal was to revive the queen. So, his goal must be to be the first to find the soul fragments scattered around the world."

"And these places will definitely be the first to be invaded by the black fog. Anyone cursed by the black fog will eventually become an undead ghost. If we don't stop him, Viego will only become stronger and stronger."

Everyone understood what she meant.

Those places with soul fragments will be the first to be attacked by the black fog.

We must find those soul fragments before the Ruined King and protect them, while guarding against the black fog and not letting it curse more people.

Senna said: "The best way is to gather these soul fragments and protect them. This will also prevent the black fog from spreading to other places."

She was sure that the Ruined King would not waste time going to a place where there were no soul fragments, which meant that by concentrating the fragments at one point, she could prevent the Black Mist from sweeping across other parts of Runeterra.

"But this is just a precaution after all." Fiona thought for a moment and said, "If we don't solve the problem at the source, the black fog will only continue to come."

"Yeah." Lux nodded: "How do we destroy the Ruined King?"

“I don’t know about that either.” Senna sighed softly, “The origin of the Curse of the Ruin is on the Shadow Isles. No one has ever known how to remove the curse at its source.”

She only knew that if the curse was not broken, the Ruined King would be difficult to kill.

The black fog will not dissipate until the Ruined King dies.

These are all problems they must face.

The field fell silent again, and everyone was thinking.

The same goes for Lucci. Even he doesn't know how to eliminate Viego. It is completely a blind spot in his knowledge.

This is also the reason why the Shadow Isles is so troublesome. The curse is difficult to eliminate, and if it is allowed to develop, it will one day sweep across the entire Rune Land.

In terms of threat level, the Shadow Isles are no less threatening than the Void.

After thinking about it, he took out the secret key, swiped twice on the contact list, found an account with the note "Purple Sweet Potato Head", and called it.

The call was answered surprisingly quickly on the other end, and a video popped up immediately. The whistling sound in it attracted people's attention.

There is a person standing in the picture.

It was a hot summer day, but behind him there was wind and snow. The world seemed to be covered in white, and he felt a chill just by looking at it.

Ryze was wearing heavy clothes and was struggling to move forward in the heavy snow.

There is no need to explain this place, everyone can recognize it.

Freljord.

"It can be connected in a place like this, what an amazing invention."

Ryze's voice came from inside, his head covered in a fleece hat to keep out the cold, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The last time they parted, Lucci gave him this secret key and told him how to use it.

But this was the first time they had communicated through the secret key.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is it about Shadow Island?"

Before they parted, they talked about Shadow Island, and he also said that they would go there together when the time comes.

I guess the reason why Lucci contacted him was only because of this. "Yes." Lucci nodded and said, "The Ruined King is about to appear, and we are discussing how to deal with him."

Next, he briefly spoke to Ryze about what happened on the Shadow Isles.

Ryze was originally from the Blessed Isles. He escaped a disaster because of a long voyage with his master. Later, he returned to the Shadow Isles many times and learned some things.

But it is not comprehensive enough.

Now, with a more complete story line told, he finally has a clear understanding of what happened that year.

"The water that you are talking about that heals everything should be the Fountain of Life." Ryze had a deep impression of this. He once sneaked into the location of the Fountain of Life and stole some spring water to drink.

“If the Ruin Curse erupts there, we can only learn the truth there. Perhaps the method to break the curse lies there.”

Naturally, he didn't know how to break the curse, after all, he was not the person involved.

But he knew where the Fountain of Life was. If that was the origin of the black fog and the curse, he would be able to find a solution as long as he got there.

"I will rush over to meet you guys next. We can discuss the details when we meet."

Ruiz said and quickly hung up the phone.

Lucci put away the secret key and said, "This is the situation. We have to go to Shadow Island. The solution to the curse is probably on the island. We don't know how much time is left. We must make more comprehensive preparations as soon as possible before the threat of the black fog arrives."

Everyone nodded without objection.

There is indeed a lot of preparation work to do.

The Shadow Isles must be visited, and the fragments of the queen's soul must also be found.

At the same time, in order for people to be able to fight against the black fog, they also need to borrow the technology of the Sentinels of Light to create special weapons and combat uniforms that can resist the black fog.

But this is not very difficult, because Senna learned a lot of lost technologies from Thresh's lantern.

She was able to make it herself.

"The most important thing right now is the location of those soul fragments." Lucci looked at Senna and asked, "Can you find them?"

“I don’t know either.” Senna couldn’t give a clear answer. “I don’t know the exact location, but I can sense which area they are in through subtle connections.”

"So good."

Lu Qi nodded.

This way, at least they don't have to fly around like headless flies.

After the plan was formulated, everyone immediately took action in full swing. The current task was mainly to cooperate with the Sentinels of Light and set up the necessary defenses.

At the same time, following Senna's guidance, several teams were divided to search for the queen's soul fragments.

Lucian has some experience in this regard.

Later he learned that the spirit umbrella he found in a church contained a fragment of the queen's soul.

No wonder with this spiritual umbrella, he can resist the attacks of the black fog and Thresh.

This way, the direction becomes much clearer.

All these people or objects that house souls must have some special features. In addition, Senna can roughly sense the area where the soul fragments are located, so it shouldn't take much effort.

This is possible because Senna has a part of the queen's soul in her.

It is also because of the queen's soul that she can survive in Thresh's lantern.

During this period, Lucci was not idle either, and was also looking for the fragments of the queen's soul.

Time passed slowly, and two days went by in a flash. As actions were launched in various regions, the entire Rune Land seemed to be filled with a solemn and indescribable atmosphere.

It was as if a storm was about to come, the eve of a storm.

During these two days, the plan went smoothly.

Everyone successfully found a fragment of the queen's soul in Demacia and Noxus, one on a dressing mirror and one on a long dress.

After finding it, Senna no longer sensed any other soul fragments in Demacia and Noxus, which meant that they were gone.

At the same time, there is also a soul fragment in Freljord, but it has been found by Ryze and is already on him.

The only ones left to be found are Ionia and Shurima.

However, Lucci knew that although all of the queen's soul was divided into many parts, the main soul was actually only divided into three parts.

One of them is with Senna, and she seems unable to sense the other two.

Right now, there is not much time left.

Late at night on the second day, Lucci suddenly received a video call from Sarah. When he answered it, her solemn face appeared.

"My men have discovered signs of black fog. It has begun to spread on the sea. However, I have asked people on islands close to Shadow Island to evacuate in the past two days, but there are still some places that have not been notified in time."

She quickly told what she had discovered.

"What's the situation on Shadow Island?" Lucci asked.

“I don’t know.” Sarah shook her head. “They saw the black fog from afar and quickly retreated. However, the movement speed of the black fog was not fast, but very slow, unlike the previous Soul-Eating Night.”

The black fog moves very fast, even faster than the speed of the ship.

In the past, if people encountered black fog on the sea, it would be basically difficult to escape.

But now it’s different. Sarah’s men observed the black fog with a telescope and found that it was moving very slowly.

However, this is already a dangerous signal.

"I know, I'll go over and take a look right away."

As Lucci spoke, he stood up and moved quickly towards the Hextech flying door without delay.

He was currently at the safe fortress set up by Demacia and the Sentinels of Light, where the fragment of the Queen's soul lay, and a defense line had been set up.

Even though there was still some distance to the Hextech flying gate, with Lucci's speed, he arrived there quickly.

He took the flying gate and teleported directly to the Bilgewater base.

Sarah had been waiting here for a long time. After Lucci learned more details about the situation in person, he decided to observe the black fog up close first.

If the Shadow Island has already appeared, then they must respond as soon as possible.

Fortunately, they have not only been preparing in the past two days, but have already taken action many months ago.

And it seems that there is still some time before the King of Ruined King comes into the world, otherwise the black fog would not move in this way.

After making the decision, Lucci set off alone.
