Ezreal once learned some information about the Shadow Island from Balliard. At that time, he realized that in the eyes of most other people, the evil and chaotic Shadow Island was not actually what they imagined.

That way.

Although the creatures on Shadow Island are not tolerated by the world and will basically attack humans who enter Shadow Island, those souls are extremely eager to sleep peacefully.

Through Balliard's explanation, Ezreal knew that the souls of the dead on Shadow Island did not stay in the world voluntarily. The vast majority of the souls on Shadow Island were forced to stay in the world and were not allowed to sleep peacefully.

On the Shadow Island, which is shrouded in black fog all year round, these dead souls will also be "awakened" by the sun during the day.

These undead souls long for sleep.

Therefore, whenever night comes, Shadow Island will be safer for ordinary people. Even the priests of the Baru sect usually choose to sneak into Shadow Island at night.

They even set up a barrier to resist the black mist directly around the Shadow Island. Unless you are unlucky and are discovered by the wandering Shadow Island demigods, this behavior will basically not cause any trouble.

In the big cities on Runeterra, big things often happen at night. Assassinations, poisonings, intelligence theft, and all kinds of things are concentrated at night.

The dark nights in those cities were unnaturally calm, but the dark nights on the Shadow Island were quite calm, even deathly silent.

"How to set up the magic circle?"

Sun Shangxiang said that she still had to get involved in this matter. No matter what Ezreal said, don't think of leaving her alone and taking the credit alone.

"...I'll explain it to you later."

Ezreal thought for a moment, and he didn't seem to know how to set up a magic circle. Although he was a mage, who among the serious mage of Runeterra knew how to set up a magic circle?

Only those mages who always think about tricking others or are worried about being tricked by others will study and study magic circles in depth.

Ezreal knew very little about magic circles, and he couldn't arrange them carefully, so he had to adopt some special methods.

He opened the casting system and purchased the magic array diagram from the casting system according to his own requirements.

There is only one array diagram, but it is a composite magic array constructed from the three magic arrays required by Ezreal. It is not small in size, covering a hundred square meters.

The reason why I purchased such a large magic array was because Ezreal couldn't arrange it himself, so he had to use the array.

The array diagram in the hands of a normal magician is just a sample for learning, just like a case in a book. The specific layout is drawn by the magicians themselves on various carriers.

Ezreal is very worried about his ability to draw the magic circle. It would be fine if he practiced on a daily basis, but now he is setting up the magic circle to protect the lives of this group of people. Any method with a little risk can be abandoned.

Ezreal spread the folded formation diagram on the ground and said to Sun Shangxiang on the side,

"Did you see the magic circle up here?"

"Why can't I see such a big magic circle? Just say what you want to say!"

Sun Shangxiang was very unhappy. She felt that Ezreal was showing off his abilities again. There was already a magic circle on this paper or cloth thing, so wouldn't it mean that she wouldn't be able to use it?

Previously, she wanted to prevent Ezreal from taking all the credit, but now, even if Ezreal wants to share the credit with her, she is not willing to do so.

She has no contribution and does not need Ezreal to help her.

"Okay, this is the diagram of the magic array. It is just a picture and has no effect on its own. Next, we need to make this invalid magic array effective."

Ezreal was unfolding the magic array while explaining to Sun Shangxiang,

"Generally speaking, the materials used by mages to draw magic circles are not ordinary things. If you just use an ordinary knife to carve the magic circle, even if the magic circle is drawn, it will not be effective unless that person is a

A great mage, as long as there is a magic circle diagram, he can use his own energy to activate the magic circle instantly.

We don’t have time to carefully carve out the magic circle, so what we have to do is similar to what archmages can do.”

"Activate the magic circle with energy?"

Sun Shangxiang took a look at the size of this magic circle... How can I put it, she didn't know how much so-called energy she had, and she didn't know how to operate this energy. How could she activate the magic circle?

"No, we are not archmages. We cannot accurately construct an accurate magic array with a diagram and without the need for a carrier, but our array is large enough. As long as we use the magic array on this array,

Apply the energy-containing liquid once and the magic circle can be activated."

The method Ezreal mentioned is stupid and a waste of materials. However, for novices, it is the easiest method to follow the same pattern.

"However, we don't know how long those undead will attack us. If we just apply liquid with energy, we need to fill the magic circle with liquid."

When Ezreal used the casting system to create such an array, he had already thought about how to do it. Therefore, the magic arrays on this array were not completely "drawn" on it.

On this kind of array diagram, there is actually a partition with a height of five centimeters on the outside of the "strokes" of the magic array. According to Ezreal's idea, it is actually more convenient to directly recess it, but considering their execution

Ability, if the array pattern is concave, it may affect the overall effect.

A part is dented here and a part is dented there. This magic circle cannot actually be said to have been deployed.

So, I can only get a leak-proof partition next to it.

"Use the same liquid as before?"

Sun Shangxiang played with the partitions on the magic array diagram with great interest. It turns out that the magic array has this structure.

"Of course not. That kind of liquid does not have the effect of activating the magic circle. We need to use a liquid that contains a lot of energy to activate the magic circle."

Ezreal exchanged several barrels of runic energy-condensed liquid from the casting system. This is pure energy liquid.

In other words, under certain circumstances, the runes melted away.

Normally, the runes native to Runeterra are solid. They may be a mine vein, or they may only be the size of a fist. However, the rune coins condensed by the extraordinary ones themselves have a fixed size under official requirements.

.

After all, liquid runes cannot be used as general equivalents.

"Just use these and pour it into this partition. Because every part is connected, you only need to pour the energy liquid here, and it will accumulate in other places."

Ezreal placed two buckets of energy liquid in front of Sun Shangxiang,

"In order to make it easier to move, you can now become larger. The energy concentration of these liquids is very high. If you accidentally touch it, although there is no harm, it will be very uncomfortable."

Regarding this point, Ezreal did not continue to explain and started the work at hand. Although if you pour this kind of liquid in one place, it will be found in other places, but the flow of the liquid takes time after all, and he does not want to

You may pour all the liquid out quickly, so it can easily overflow or splash.

"It's hard?"

Sun Shangxiang has slightly grown in size. Since she can freely control her body size, she doesn't like to move with her huge body so much, because the space here is relatively narrow and her body is too big and can easily be restricted.

If he was in a bad mood and wanted to vent his anger on Ezreal, he would have to worry about whether he would break something.

Seeing that Ezreal didn't answer, but was completing their work seriously, Sun Shangxiang didn't ask any more questions. It was more important to do business. Too much gossip would distract him, and if he was distracted, he might spill the liquid.

Ezreal said that it would be uncomfortable to be touched by these liquids. Although Sun Shangxiang was curious, he would not risk his own life to experience it.

…

Balliard has walked fifteen thousand meters down the pothole, but still found no trace of the magic circle. There should indeed be a light source emitting black light below, but he still needs to be careful.

He had expected a magic circle that could separate a living being into blood and other components, but he had yet to encounter it.

Although he won't be killed by that kind of magic circle, there will be pain. He is not a masochist, so why ask for pain.

As he descended deeper and deeper, the surrounding black light became more and more "intense". Balliard manipulated the black light's hand and clearly felt that the black light became more and more "thick".

If manipulating these black lights before was like stirring a basin of water, now Balliard is mixing flour, which not only requires more strength, but also sticks to his hands.

He knew that he was closer to the light source.

His other hand, which was not controlling the black light, did not feel any strange sensation at all. After all, this thing was light, not a physical thing.

If Balliard hadn't been controlling this thing, he wouldn't have felt this way. How could light be heavy?

After descending several thousand meters again, Balliard's hands controlling the black light suddenly felt like they were touching an entity, and there was only darkness in that place.

"This thing is..."

Balliard used his other hand to touch the thing again. It also felt like it was tangible, but it was different.

Realizing this, Balliard took out an ordinary piece of wood and stabbed it into the darkness, but was not blocked in any way.

"A spirit? It's really an unusual thing."

Balliard touched this thing and tried to feel the consciousness of the spirit body. Every spirit body will have consciousness. Even if the consciousness of the spirit body is likely to be chaotic, there will be a certain degree of consciousness in even the chaotic consciousness.

order.

The consciousness of this spirit body was quite chaotic. Balliard could easily identify that this spirit body was not naturally formed, and there were a large number of contradictory memory fragments in it, which were enough to show that this thing was a spirit pieced together by a group of consciousness bodies.

body.

In these memories, Balliard found a large number of memories about pain, hatred, and unwillingness. In other words, the source of these consciousnesses is also abnormal.

Their conscious bodies were not forcibly kneaded into a spirit body after normal death, but they were tortured and killed while they were still alive, and then their suffering souls born from their suffering bodies were extracted.

.

Was such an evil act done by the Mage from the Age of Gods?

Well, in an era like the Age of Gods where etiquette and morality had not been established at all, blood sacrifice was still a widely recognized method. People just slaughtered some wild beasts. Even if these wild beasts were good in strength and already had wisdom, but

So what?

The human race does not care about the life and death of other races, and many other races also like to eat human flesh. In that era, if the methods of this ancient mage should not be so cruel, is there something wrong with his brain?

"So, the source of this so-called black light is this spirit body? But, how did the ancient mage do it?"

As the king of Shadow Island and a god related to death, Balliard has never thought about how to turn resentment into this kind of black light. Of course, it's not that he can't do it, but it's not necessary.
