Balliard returned to the Shadow Island where he was. It was night. Looking at the black mist outside the window, Balliard felt a sense of security for a long time. There were nearly ten demigods here, even if the void was out in force.

, are not sure about occupying Shadow Island.

There are indeed endless void creatures, but are there few undead creatures on Shadow Island? The numerical advantage does not only belong to the void.

"You're back?"

Karsus appeared silently behind Baliard. This is a lich, a great lich demigod. He has no body, only a soul. Theoretically, Karsus can appear freely in the world.

Any place with the smell of death, because he has been recognized by death, is the human incarnation of death, and is a god of death.

Moreover, compared to the double-standard "god of death" like Nasus, Karsus represents the "equal treatment" in the human nature of death. Compared with the god of death who brings death to the enemy, Karsus, the god of death who brings death to all living things,

More like a competent god of death.

However, Karsus is too competent, and he wants to let those who should not die step into the arms of death. Therefore, Karsus rarely leaves the Shadow Island. The true man of Naga Kapoulos would rather let the hammer go.

If the stone enters the mainland, it will not give Karsus a chance to get close to the mainland.

"Karl, tell me, can Shadow Island be recognized by the outside world?"

Balliard knew very well that the reason why Jiang Yan called Balliard a knight was not only because Balliard saved her and protected her, but also because in that world line, there was no Shadow Island.

Otherwise, with the aura of Balliard, he would be attacked by many people who claim to be righteous soon after entering the mainland. In that context, even innocent children know the evil of Shadow Island. Then, Jiang Yan will still

Do you recognize Baliard from the Shadow Isles?

Balliard was very confused, and the confusion enveloped him like a black mist. He wanted to sleep peacefully in the confusion, but there were always some dispensable hopes that invaded him. Even under the black mist, the stars could not be seen, no matter what

Whether it is starlight or moonlight, they are all isolated by the black fog, but starlight and moonlight exist, just like hope...maybe there.

"Why not? Death is a fate that all living things cannot escape. They are afraid of us and think that we have brought death, but everything is already doomed. When the outside world can treat death correctly, Shadow Island will naturally be

Approved.”

As the human incarnation of death, Karsus was just a little extreme and planned to give death to those creatures in advance, but this did not affect the final result, right? Death is the destination.

"...Why do I feel that you are tempting me to kill people? Don't think that I don't know that because you can't go to the mainland, you have cultivated your own sect. Do you think those people who shout that death is the destination of everything and then kill people unscrupulously will be punished?

Others recognize it?”

Valliard didn't really want to complain about Karthus, but Karl always said the most correct remarks in a serious manner, and then used those remarks as a banner to act recklessly in a subversive way. Death is the destination, so killing should not be punished.

Legal sanctions should be rewarded? What a joke.

"They are all kind-hearted people who don't want to see those people suffering in the mortal world, so they work hard to let those people feel the warmth of death in advance and grant them relief, even if they will be punished by the laws of the world."

Karsus disdained to use secular laws to judge the pioneers who showed the world the beauty of death. One day, ordinary people will understand the ideas of the pioneers (Ballyard:?).

"...I think you should bring Jhin into your sect. He is very suitable for this line of work."

Balliard knew that the notorious killer Golden Demon in Ionia was Kadar Jhin. Although Jhin was once captured, he is now free.

"Actually, he is a member of my sect. If it weren't for Jhin's poor management skills, he would be the leader of my sect now."

Karsus had a slight smile on his face, seeming to be mocking Balliard's ignorance.

"When did you bring him in? His strength is not low. Can your believers convince Jhin? I think it will be difficult for them to find Jhin."

How easy is it to find Jhin? Think about how hard Master Kushuo went to find the Golden Demon. Although Master Kushuo is not a demigod, he is not far away from being a demigod.

Those believers in Karsus, who were basically mortals, found Jhin and then incorporated Jhin into the church. Are you kidding me? Balliard only thought that the descendants of those people would be able to find Jhin's bones a thousand years later.

"He believes in me and is a member of my sect. Of course, he doesn't know it yet."

What Karsus said was very shameless, and he put a blame on Jhin after a disagreement. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, just like the bad consequences caused by Balliard's traceability will be caused by Balliard.

Bear in mind, when Karthus considers Jhin to be his disciple, most of the karma caused by Jhin's killing will be recorded on Karthus' head.

However, as a god of death, Karsus is afraid of karma? Sorry, karma is called "performance" in Karsus' eyes.

"You really know how to take advantage of others."

Balliard was speechless. The death represented by Karsus was a little too tolerant of human beings. Although he was tolerant of these human beings,

The purpose is to get more people to embark on the path of killing, but as long as they participate in the killing, they are temporarily followers of Karsus, and the murderer will hardly bear much karma.

Karsus, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity and made a lot of money.

"This is not taking advantage, it is mutual benefit. I will bear their karma for them, and they can release their desire to kill. Why not?"

Karsus regarded this as a deal. He could not go to the continent to grant death to others. He had no choice but to increase the number of deaths among mortals on the continent.

"Okay, you represent death and you can do whatever you want. This is your job anyway. As long as you don't go too far, no one will stop you."

Just like the old gods did not stop Brand from destroying Runeterra, no old god would stop Karthus from bringing death, but people would stop Karthus, such as Illaoi.

She is the true form of Naga Kapoulos. She is just a human being, not the humanity of Naga Kaporos. The agreement between the old gods cannot bind her. Because of this, it is difficult for Karsus to go to the mainland. Oro

Although Yi is not a human being with a great will, Naga

Kabolos is the creator god in the true sense. His personality allows his true form to be enough to deal with most demigods without having to become human, even those who can reach the thirteenth or tenth level once they enter the heaven.

Even the fourth-level demigods would not fare well in Illaoi's hands.

The most important point is that with the blessing of Naga Kapoulos, all of Illaoi's attacks can directly hit the soul. In front of Illaoi, Karthus's spiritual advantage as a lich has turned into a disadvantage.

"Death is never too much."

Balliard didn't want to hear what Karsus said. Thanks to Balliard's outlook on life being similar to that of human beings, otherwise, he would have believed Karsus's nonsense. If someone wants to live, you give them away.

Go to hell, is that not too much?

"Okay, okay, nothing is too much, nothing is too much... So, how many rune coins are there on the island?"

Naturally, Balliard has not forgotten the purpose of his return. As for other things, do they have anything to do with him? He is just a small seventh-level transcendent, and the world line he is in has more than sixty people all year round.

A demigod is staying in Runeterra, and with this strength, he can't even think of leaving when the Void comes.

Moreover, the demigods calculated by Balliard are all demigods who appeared after the ancient times, such as Galen and Darius. This means that the demigods who secluded themselves after the first void invasion

Demigods among ancient creatures are not included in the calculation. However,

As far as Balliard knows, there are more than five ancient dragons in Ixtar, each of whom has the strength of the three giants of the Shadow Island. In addition, among the thousands of sub-dragons, there are

More than a hundred people possess the power of demigods. This can be regarded as the hidden power of Runeterra.

Therefore, in such a glorious era that not only has the immortal afterglow of the previous era, but also has the rising stars of the next era, what surprises can happen? The people are almost used to the fights between demigods.

"There are also more than one million level three essence."

Karthus is the chief steward of the Shadow Isles, and he basically handles all financial matters in this country without a clear whole.

"Where are the rune coins?"

The value of one third-level essence is equal to ten second-level essences, which is equal to one hundred first-level essences, and one first-level essence is equal to ten first-level rune coins. In other words, one third-level essence is equal to one thousand and one.

Level 3 rune coins, more than one million level 3 essence is equal to one billion rune coins, which sounds like a lot, but when viewed as a country, this amount of money is actually a bit small.

Compared with human countries like Demacia and Noxus, there is no such thing as hiding wealth among the people on the Shadow Island. On this island, there is no place for consumption at all, and money is meaningless to the undead. Therefore, the Shadow Island Country

The money in the treasury is all the wealth of the entire country, and in the human kingdom, does the money in the treasury have one percent of the wealth of the entire country?

"Does that also require calculation?"

Karsus is obviously not a competent accountant. The currency he wants to calculate is only the third-level essence. The other second-level essences and rune coins are not within the scope of Karsus' consideration. However, except for the third-level essence,

There must be a billion share of other currencies. Otherwise, the country of Shadow Island would be frighteningly poor.

"I want 10,000 level 3 essence."

Balliard still doesn’t know how much liquidated damages he will have to pay to resign from Gragas’ tavern, but it won’t be more than one million, right? After paying the liquidated damages, Balliard still has nearly nine dollars left.

One million standard rune coins. As for breaking the contract, you will be refused employment at the workplace of other extraordinary people? With nine million in your pocket and more than one billion at home, you still need to go to work?

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Karsus did not ask what Baliard was doing with the money. He was also an undead. To the creatures on this island, the money was given to Baliard, the monarch of Shadow Island, for consumption when he went to the mainland. If Baliard

Karsus would also ask what books or treasures Yard wanted to take away, but what was money?

"You have to do it quickly, I'll be leaving in two days."

Balliard came back immediately after knowing that he could return to the original world line. As for the theoretical test? What is it? Isn't the most important thing for a guardian to protect the world? He has done so well, so he still needs to worry.

You can't become a third-year student? So, what test should you take? If you don't understand the questions, it's very likely that you will be with Ryze.

Only fools would do questions that have nothing to do with the knowledge taught in class.

"Your will."

Karsus' figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and then appeared in the treasure house on Shadow Island. There were all kinds of treasures piled here, including treasures for mortals and treasures for extraordinary beings. They were everywhere.

Gold was piled up, countless rune coins were scattered on the ground, and the dilapidated and decaying equipment was gradually repaired by the energy that spontaneously overflowed from the rune coins.

"Why are you here? Do you want to see how I torture souls?"

In the darkness, a lantern floated, flashing a dim green light, and then an undead figure burning like a will-o'-the-wisp appeared behind the lantern. He was holding the lantern.

"His Highness is back, and his mentality has changed a lot. It seems that going to other world lines will be very helpful for His Highness."

If Baliard were here, he would definitely be shocked by what Karsus said. He never told Karsus that he went to other world lines. Perhaps he learned it from the mouth of the demigods in Salva.

?But even so, it is enough to prove that Karsus and Salva have a certain connection.
To be continued...
