"In about five minutes, we can return to Shadow Island. Have you figured out the location of the Heart of Dark Star?"

It had only been ten minutes since Baliard left Shadow Island, but during these ten minutes, he was not always moving forward.

Fish moving at high speed in one direction looked abnormal, so Balliard let the ghost ship dangle on the bottom of the sea according to the habits in front of him.

The ghost ship was originally a sea monster near the Shadow Island, and it carried a strong aura of the Shadow Island. Even if it turned into an undead at this moment, the aura of the Shadow Island on its body was not strengthened much.

With this disguise, unless the Hellfire Titans see it with their own eyes, no one will realize that the ghost ship is undead.

In this case, wouldn't it be better to just pretend to be an ordinary ghost ship?

Therefore, when Balliard returned to Shadow Island, he also made the ghost ship more natural, which would take more time.

"I figured it out. It's at Mordekaiser's place."

Gangplank is not just messing around on Shadow Island these days. He originally thought it would be difficult to find out the location of the treasure, but in fact, he is inexplicably valued by those Hellfire Titans, and it seems that everyone wants to be with him.

Build good relationships.

Taking this opportunity, Plank explored the locations of most of the Hellfire Titans and also observed the furnishings of these Hellfire Titans' residences.

"Undead?"

When he heard Mordekaiser, Balliard's first reaction was undead, because Mordekaiser's behavior of opening up the underworld was really eye-catching.

Although I couldn't see any kingdom when I entered hell, it doesn't mean that the underworld is not governed by people. It is a place of reincarnation opened by the great wills for living beings. There should not be a kingdom of the undead, but Mordekaiser did it

This matter was successful.

It has to be said that although these great wills are "stingy", they have long dismissed the things that normal creatures value.

"No, it's a Hellfire Titan. It's at the tenth level. It's only one step away from the demigods. You don't have to think about using your identity to ask him. That guy is a die-hard loyalist to the Ash Lord."

Gangplank revealed Balliard's little plan. If Mordekaiser is an undead, it means that Mordekaiser is a creature of the Shadow Island, so he will most likely be dispatched by the monarch of the Shadow Island.

However, Maokai, who was once a creature of the Shadow Island, is now very dissatisfied with Baliard, and even wants to deal with Baliard whenever he gets the chance. Maybe Maokai is also searching for traces of Baliard on the sea.

.

"Hellfire Titan? Judging from the time, after the Shadow Island was destroyed by the Ash Lord, that guy entered death. Mordekaiser thought about standing with his ancestors, and his ancestors might have turned into some kind of demon.

Inferring from this, the probability of him being loyal to the Ash Lord is not low, but he is a king and a tyrant himself, so he will have some ideas of competing with the Ash Lord, right?"

Even though he said that, Balliard was still a little worried.

The gap between demigods is also very large. To put it a bit smaller, demigods like Ornn and Volibear are not afraid of more than a dozen of their brothers and sisters, and can even fight them back.

To put it more broadly, in the world line of Legend of the Jade Sword, the new gods have divided the level of demigods into many levels, which are different realms.

The same is true for Mordekaiser. In the world line of Baliard, Mordekaiser does not appear in Runeterra in his true form. He just descended part of his soul into a steel armor.

But in this way, Mordekaiser is still one of the three giants of the Shadow Islands, and a terrifying demigod.

If the Mordekaiser here is a hellfire demon, he is probably more powerful than the Mordekaiser that Balliard has seen, because his soul is complete and he can exert his complete strength.

"You want to seduce him? Give up this idea. I can see his loyalty to Ash Lord. You can't let Mordekaiser rebel."

Gangplank was wiping his scimitar, and his pistol was hanging on his waist.

"It's just an idea. Besides, loyalty can be expressed in more than one form. Is he loyal to Ash Lord, the dead man in hell, or is he loyal to Ash Lord himself?"

To be honest, Balliard felt that many hellfire demons could instigate rebellion. Others might not see the problem, but Balliard had already guessed that the Great Wills were betting on the Ash Lord. How could he still not know the final outcome of the Ash Lord?

The purpose is to destroy Runeterra.

In this case, the demons cannot escape the fate of destruction. Will they be loyal to such a monarch?

If Mordekaiser is a loyal minister, then in order to prevent his monarch from committing an irreparable mistake, shouldn't he be prevented from coming?

However, before the Ash Lord actually does those things, even if Balliard says this, they may not believe it, and it may make the relationship between the two parties even worse.

"Stop talking about betrayal in front of me!"

Gangplank was wiping his scimitar when he slashed it on the deck. Fortunately, there was no will attached to it, otherwise the ghost ship would not be so easy to talk to.

"Okay, okay, just don't talk about it."

Bilgewater is very close to the Shadow Isles. Of course, Balliard is very familiar with Gangplank's betrayal. After all, when going to Valoran, he has to pass through Bilgewater. Once he goes to Bilgewater,

It's inevitable to hear people talking about Gangplank, the Pirate King.

After a few minutes, the ghost ship stopped moving.

"arrive.

"

Balliard spoke and at the same time took the ghost ship into his own little underworld. He and Gangplank immediately appeared in the sea.

"Let's go ashore first."

"OK."

The two of them are currently hundreds of meters below the sea surface. Mortals definitely cannot talk in such a place, but they are different.

Baliard is a spiritual being who looks like a human being, but his body structure does not look like a human being at all. He speaks with his mouth, but because humans move their mouths when speaking, he can still speak without opening his mouth.

Even the stupidest demon hunter, when fighting against a spirit body, would not think of blinding the spirit body's eyes and stripping away the opponent's field of vision. People don't need eyes to see things at all, right? That's just a decoration.

"Our current location is probably on the small island southeast of Shadow Island. Where is Mordekaiser?"

Balliard's connection with Shadow Island has not been interrupted. A three-dimensional map was simulated in front of him through the black fog, and their positions were immediately revealed.

"it's here."

Planck pointed his pistol at a spot on the map.

"On the West Island? Trouble, should we take the water route or the land route?"

There is only ocean between the West Island and the Southeast Island, so taking the water route is naturally the most convenient way.

"Waterway."

Gangplank didn't want to expose himself on land. Those hellfire demons would not go into the water, because the ocean was opposite to their power. In addition, this sea area belonged to the Watcher's Sea, and it was near the Shadow Island.

Small mysterious power.

If these hellfire demons go into the water, unless they can control the power of will, they will only end up with the flames all over their bodies being extinguished.

"That's okay."

After Ballard said that, he jumped into the water. The ocean between the Southeast Island and the West Island can be regarded as the inland sea of ​​the Shadow Island. After all, there are various islands of the Shadow Island around, and ghost ships will not appear in such a place.

Because the sea area here is relatively shallow, the deepest point is not so much the seabed, but the area of ​​the submerged Shadow Island. If a deep-sea monster like the Ghost Ship appears in this area, it will naturally make people wary.

"Ballyard?"

Planck then jumped into the water, but he didn't see "Ballyard" in the water. What he saw was a dolphin? But wasn't this dolphin a bit too ugly?

"In order not to be discovered, I slightly changed my body. Do you know a similar spell?"

Baliard is a spirit body. Although it is difficult to transform his material spirit body into a pure spirit, he can completely change his shape at will.

"……Won't."

Gangplank is just a pirate. After becoming a transcendent, he is still most accustomed to deck fighting. After joining Salva, he also learned combat and spells under Jax. What is that? A warrior only needs

own will.

"Then you go at my speed and be careful to hide under me."

As he said that, Balliard grew a little bigger. After all, he was near the Shadow Island. Isn't it strange for some creatures to mutate?

About half an hour later, the two of them swam to the West Island, mainly to prevent the passing Hellfire Titans from discovering abnormalities. Although they rarely went into the water, it did not mean that they could not use their own will to observe the bottom of the water.

Balliard's disguise... although it cannot withstand scrutiny, both the vision of the will and the normal vision can be deceived.

"There are still about three kilometers to go, be careful not to be discovered by the hellfire demons."

When they arrived on the shore, with the power of the Shadow Island as cover, the Hellfire Titans were unable to find Balliard by willpower. However, those small Hellfires were still a trouble, but not all small Hellfires were Rot Wisdom Demons.

Kind of stupid.

However, the Hellfire Titans probably did not expect that the two of them would return to the Shadow Island, and these small Hellfires probably did not know their status as "wanted criminals".

However, on the Shadow Island where there are no more undead, people with the aura of the undead suddenly appear. Under normal circumstances, they should be reported.

"Just kill them. Hellfire demons don't leave corpses behind after they die. There are as many small hellfires as there are, and no hellfire demon cares about their number. Besides, as far as I know, there are many small hellfires every day.

Many small hellfires died in the fight."

Gangplank's infiltration method is much safer than Valliard's. Will he be discovered? It's okay. Kill all the guys who can discover them, and no one will know that they have been there, because there are no bodies.

"It's okay to kill..."

Baliard doesn't really want to do this. Demons are also undead. Compared to humans, Baliard recognizes such people more, although these demons don't recognize him.

But, if this is really going to be done, Balliard will not object. With his high divinity, he will not be moved by the death of any living being at all. What's more, he is still the king of Shadow Island. He has long been

I'm used to seeing death.

The undead that can come to the Shadow Island after death are basically unwilling ones, and such people either die in frustration or are tortured, and their deaths are not a fun record.

"Then let's do it."
To be continued...
