Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 529: Miss Gwen's Request (Additional chapter for Yanzu Beiyuan Old Rogue)

"Combining the information from both sides, we can infer that Viego, the source of the Curse of Ruin, must be trying to resurrect his queen, Isolde."

Looking at Gwen and Lucian, Li En looked serious.

"According to the agreement between Gwen and I, I will go to the Shadow Isles with her soon to put an end to this curse once and for all."

"Count us in, Mr. Li En. As sentinels of light, clearing the black fog is our lifelong pursuit!"

"That's right, and Lucian and I still have a score to settle with Thresh!"

"Hehe~! That's great, Li En, we now have two more reliable partners!"

"Of course, no problem, but I must make it clear that this journey is very dangerous. It's not easy for the two of you to meet again..."

"The Black Mist has been chasing Senna for a long time. Even with your help, Mr. Li En, and the Queen of the Snake Mother protecting her in Big Harbor, we can't just sit there and watch you and Miss Gwen go to the Shadow Island and let our savior risk his life!"

"That's right. Now I have also gained the ability to control the black fog. When we enter the Shadow Island, my ability will be of great use!"

"Since you two have come to this point, let's go together!"

Facing the gazes of Lucian and his wife, Li En nodded.

...

That night, the quiet moonlight shone on the end of the bed. Leaning in the arms of her husband Lucian, Senna listened quietly to his heartbeat.

"Dear, dear?"

"What's wrong Senna?"

"I don't know why she concealed it, but Miss Gwen during the day also had a fragment of Isolde's soul in her body."

"you mean..."

Faced with Lucian's doubts, Senna was about to explain, but she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"She's here, most likely to see me, let me go see her first."

"Well, go and come back quickly."

"Got it dear Lucian!"

Feeling the strength of her husband's embrace, Senna hugged him, then stood up and left.

"Hoo~!"

As soon as she walked out of the room, Senna was covered by the flickering hazy 'holy mist'.

Looking at the delicate face not far away that looked troubled, Senna smiled politely.

"Good evening, Miss Gwen."

"Good evening, Senna..."

"So... may I ask why Miss Gwen came to see me so late at night?"

"I...you..."

Gwen hesitated for a moment, then took a breath like a human, and looked directly at Senna with her strange, heterochromatic eyes.

"Ms. Senna, I'm sure you... you should have felt it too..."

"Well, we all have fragments of Isolder's soul in our bodies, and that is exactly what the Ruined King Viego desires."

Senna said, placing her right hand gently on the center of her chest.

A bright blue light lit up, and the resonance between the two people suddenly became clearer.

“Although it was because of this soul fragment that the black fog followed Viego’s subconscious mind and kept chasing me before he woke up.

But it was also because of it that I was able to stay sane in Thresh's 'Soul Lantern' until Lucian rescued me with the help of Mr. Lien and Miss Gwen."

"I see. So, the master's soul fragment played this role."

"Yes, I am very fond of Queen Isolde, whom I have never met.

Miss Gwen, you said during the day that your wish was to let Queen Isolde rest in peace, and in that case you must return the soul fragment, but you are not an ordinary human like me, and by then..."

"I understand, Ms. Senna!"

Gwen interrupted Senna.

“I came to you tonight to ask you to keep this secret for me before the Curse of Ruin ends!

Especially...especially don’t let Li En...know..."

"Miss Gwen...you..."

Looking at Gwen's pitiful appearance, Senna finally sighed silently.

"Okay, I understand. I promise you."

"That's great, thank you Ms. Senna!"

"Well, you're welcome. Besides, you and Mr. Li En are my saviors. Just call me Senna."

"Okay Senna, you can call me Gwen too!"

Gwen lifted the hem of her skirt slightly on both sides of her body, performing an ancient and elegant etiquette.

"Thank you, Senna. I won't disturb you and Mr. Lucian. Good night."

"OK, good night."

Gwen smiled sweetly at Senna, and her figure disappeared in the lingering "holy mist".

"Hoo~!"

Senna let out a sigh of relief, looked at the sea in the distance for a while, then turned back to the room.

...

Ionia, Presidium.

Because Karma, the 'Revelation', only returned to the Temple of Eternal Life once after the war.

Afterwards, he stayed in Presidium, organizing and uniting various forces, clearing out and dealing with the remaining Noxian forces in Ionia, and maintaining stability in the spiritual and material realms.

Therefore, with the unanimous decision of all the elders of the Temple of Eternal Life, a small "Temple of Eternal Life" was built in Presidium as Karma's daily residence.

Of course, everyone who knows the inside story knows that this is just a survival move by those old guys who survived because of the mercy of the "Apocalypse" and are afraid of being completely abandoned by Karma.

Four carpenter masters led their disciples to channel the magic of the nascent earth and infuse it into the trees, weaving and constructing an extremely harmonious and natural building with a subtle sense of regularity. Two girls who looked to be in their twelfth or thirteenth years old walked cautiously inside.

"Guihua, I...are we lost? Do you still remember the way we came here?"

"Wow~! Xiangchun, I...I can't remember it either..."

"It's over. We got lost on our first day of studying at the 'Eternal Palace'. I don't dare to walk anymore. What if I end up somewhere I shouldn't be..."

"But...but waiting here is not a solution..."

"Then... shall we continue to look for a way?"

"Um..."

The two girls looked at each other and finally decided to keep going.

"Slightly rustling~!"

There was a sound coming from the bushes nearby.

"who!?"

"Slightly rustling~!"

"Woo~! Osmanthus... Osmanthus... I'm scared..."

"It's okay, Toon. This is the eternal gift of Lord Apocalypse..."

"Wow~!"

A twisting and tumbling shadow, without any human shape at all, emerged from behind the girls and enveloped them.

“Wa ...

"Ahem~!"

A faint cough sounded into the ears of the two girls, miraculously calming them down instantly. The girls who had fallen to the ground hugging each other subconsciously looked up.

"Lord 'The Apocalypse'!"

"Well, are you lost?"

Karma stared at the two girls with a gentle smile on her face.

"I...we..."

The two looked at each other, and then nodded in unison, somewhat ashamedly.

"Om~!"

Emerald energy gathered at Karma's fingertips and transformed into a crystal clear butterfly.

"Follow it, it will lead you back to the dojo where you will have class."

"Yes, thank you, Lord 'Revelation'!"

"Haha~! You're welcome."

After the two of them saluted respectfully, they followed the flying butterflies and left obediently under Karma's gaze.

After disappearing around the corner for a while, the girls' exclamations and laughter could be heard faintly.

Hearing the laughter, Karma felt that his efforts in taking in these war orphans as registered disciples were not in vain, and a smile from the bottom of his heart emerged on the corners of his mouth.

“Crack~!”

"Ahri, where are you going?"

A calm voice sounded in my ears, and the figure who had just done a prank and was hiding in the bushes and sneaking away from the dog suddenly froze.
