Chapter 5 What Did I Do Wrong?
The village that Balliard and the others just left is near Hedoram, not far from Zaun. It can be reached in a day or two by walking slowly.
At night, Galen pushed the firewood, and Lux lit it. The creatures on the Shadow Island did not have food needs, but Galen and the others did. Not far away was the seaside. When Galen came back carrying a sea fish as big as one person,
Valyard also helped Lux set up the tent.
It is not easy to roast a sea fish the size of one person. It takes almost two hours. During this time, if you just stare at the campfire and uncooked food, it will be more or less boring.
So Lux asked about the origin of Balliard, "Baliad, where are you from?" In any case, the origin of Balliard is a mystery. Why does it appear here? Why is it
Someone used teleportation magic to get here?
Regarding this point, Balliard has already had a plan to deal with it. The Shadow Island cannot be said for sure. He does not exist in this world line, and the Shadow Island does not have his monarch.
What's more, a guy who looks like a human said that he was from the Shadow Island, but it was not a funny joke at all, "I am from Noxus, and I am not an authentic Noxian."
The scene suddenly fell into silence, maybe only the bonfire was a little naughty and was still teasing the sea fish.
"We know that you are a Noxian. Among the four continents, whether Valoran, Ionia, Shurima and Freljord, they are all within the territory of the Noxian Empire. The only one
The only place not occupied by the Noxian Empire is the Shadow Isles."
Galen wiped his rune sword, and Balliard looked at the cracks on the sword. He was really worried that one day Galen's sword would break while fighting. Of course, he was not worried about something happening to Galen, but that he himself would lose it.
It's not easy to mess around with such a big leg.
"And there are no living people in the Shadow Island, don't you think?" The sword's body was imprinted with the light of fire, and Galen's eyes reflected the sword's light as he glanced at Balliard.
"Yeah!" Galen's sharp eyes scared Valyard and nodded repeatedly. It was really embarrassing. I didn't expect Noxus to almost unify Runeterra. Does Brown Darkwill have such ability?
If he had this ability, he would not be dragged down by Swain. So, did the so-called mutation happen to Brown? Damn it, this place is not far away from the Immortal Fortress. Do you want to go there?
?
"Since you know, why do you still call yourself a Noxian? Are you trying to fool me!" Galen is Galen. Even if he is not a general, he has a kind of innate majesty, which makes Balliard very sincere.
.
It's time to spin the wheel again. Say that you are a Noxian from another world line? A little honest, just a little, but you are looking for a fight when you say it? Tell the magical idiot Galen how he went into the parallel world.
The travel time was enough for Galen to hit Valliard with dozens of brain-destroying blows.
So, saying that you are actually the monarch of the Shadow Island? You should stop joking, otherwise Galen's rune sword will be smashed down. Well... there it is!
"Actually, I am an orphan and have never had a fixed place to live. Therefore, I only know that I am from Noxus, but I don't know which city I am from."
Valliard really wanted to be proud of his wit
Thumbs up, in his original world line, due to the expansion of Noxus, there were many orphans who were abandoned by their families or whose families died in the war. There must be no problem with this reason, definitely.
"Then you are really amazing. As an orphan, you have become a seventh-level transcendent. You are very talented." Galen put down his sword and grilled the fish on the other side, as if he had put down his guard against Valliard.
.
"Galen boss Liao praised him! In fact, he is not a particularly talented person!" Is this still the Galen he knows? He actually praised a coward as having a good talent? However, after all, this is the first time in his life that Galen has praised him.
, just be humble.
"Darius sent you here? Go back and tell him that I will not serve for him!" Galen sneered when he heard Balliard's answer, picked up his sword and stabbed Balliard hard.
around.
What happened? Balliard used his peripheral vision to examine the flashing rune sword beside him - the runes have been activated, do you want to run? You can't beat him, you can only be tortured. He is not a masochist.
"Let's go, stupid boy!" The gem on Lux's staff also shone, "Go back and persuade Darius to send someone smarter next time. You are so stupid, you are really not suitable to be a spy."
…
Although Balliard didn't know where he made a mistake, he was already outside the city of Zaun. Without Galen and Lux around, and it was night again, it would be faster to summon a skeleton horse to rush on.
Undead magic has always been hated by people. Only the undead souls of Shadow Island have the right to use undead magic recognized by the major forces in Runeterra, because they are undead.
And if human beings dare to set foot in that forbidden territory, there are only two ways to go. Either, they will be attacked by the forces excluding Shadow Island, or they can go to Shadow Island and become a "resident" of Shadow Island.
Balliard, who is afraid of pain, will never use undead magic in broad daylight. Only by using undead magic secretly and obscenely can he avoid being punished.
"Hmm - the familiar industrial waste gas, it seems that nothing has changed." After surviving Zaun's city inspection, Balliard once again came to this uninhabitable city.
Extraordinary people generally will not deign to become the gatekeepers of a certain city, because there will always be enemies who will laugh at them as "watchdogs." But ordinary people cannot see through Balliard's invisibility.
What's more, even if you pretend to be a arrogant Piltover guy, you can still get through Zaun unimpeded. Zaun is an underground city, and Piltover is just above Zaun.
Sometimes, many people can't help but wonder why Janna, the goddess of wrath of the storm, favors such a dungeon? There is absolutely no possibility of a storm in this dungeon.
Not only because Zaun is an underground city, but also because the existence of the Sun Gate controls the flow of sea water.
As for what Balliard is doing here? Of course it's to watch the show! Galen probably doesn't know he's wanted yet, right? Look at the bounty in these newspapers, it's actually a baronetcy!
Brown, no, Darius actually spent so much money to capture Galen? You must know that the rulers of Zaun are those alchemy barons. If you get the title of baron, you will have the power to establish a new city in other cities.
The capital of your own underworld, business or technology empire.
Garen and Lux are both wanted, and they are now heading to Zaun to question Singed. It will be fierce, right? Look at the date the wanted order was issued, it seems to be yesterday?
That makes sense. Even if Darius became the iron-blooded emperor of Noxus, he would not just allow his subordinates to massacre people, and the tragedy in that village was undoubtedly Singed's handiwork.
Other alchemy barons don't have that kind of courage.
Singed knew that Galen was near Zaun, so he deliberately spread poison gas in the surrounding villages to lure Galen into his own trap.
Tips? That doesn't exist. Why should he tip off Galen? Balliard was almost killed by Galen several times, and he didn't want to offend Singed even more than Galen.
Think about it, how powerfully attractive is an alchemist to an invincible guinea pig? How many immature technologies can be tested on him?
At the critical moment, you have to follow your heart. No matter what Galen and Lux are, he is here just to find changes.
"A glass of light beer, don't mix it with the poisonous sewer water, I will pay more." Balliard entered a tavern, which may be more trustworthy than other taverns.
Because this tavern has a cultivation tower, which is a closed crystal house, providing fresh air to this heavily polluted city of only rocks and steel. It is a symbol of power and a symbol of the rich. I want to create a plant in Zaun that allows plants to grow.
A survival cultivation tower requires a lot of expenses.
And a tavern with a cultivation tower should not add dirty sewer water to the drinks. When he came to Zaun, he was tricked by those gangsters.
"A foreigner? You must be an extraordinary person, right?" The tavern clerk looked at Balliard and made up his mind not to add any gutter water.
"How can you see it?" He could see it at a glance? Fortunately, he even used magic to change his clothes.
"Only powerful extraordinary beings operating in the city of Zaun do not need an air filter, whether it is an external filter or an internal filter. Here you go, a cup of light beer and 7 first-level small rune coins."
"A third-level essence, please give change to the store." Balliard did not have small rune coins on him, only essence, which was a giant rune coin.
The third-level small rune coin is equal to one second-level giant rune coin, which is equal to ten second-level small rune coins. And Balliard has more than twenty third-level giant rune coins, which is more than 20,000 level one.
Small rune coins.
"Sir, are you a noble? Essence of this kind is not common. These are nine second-level essences and nine first-level essences..."
"Just consider the rest as a tip, keep it yourself." The light beer costs seven small rune coins, and a tip of three small rune coins is considered generous.
"Any news recently? About the Resistance Army." Balliard took a sip of light beer, the authentic taste of Besilico.
"This is not an issue that can be discussed casually... I will tell you about it. Don't tell others that it was me who said it." The clerk originally planned to refuse to answer Balliard's question, but a second-level essence appeared on the screen.
His face swayed, he wavered, and the dam of his mouth collapsed.
