"It is indeed him. It seems that the differences between Icathia and ancient Shurima have become irreconcilable."
Lin Luo thought with his eyes and finally understood the purpose of Nasus bringing him here.
Based on the current situation, we can probably guess that with Nasus' profound knowledge and knowledge, he must be aware of the disputes and resentments between Icathia and Shurima, so he understands that the people of Shurima are not affected by Aika at all.
See you in West Asia.
To put it simply, both Nasus and Azir have the ability to enter Icathia, and it is much easier than Lin Luo.
But the reason why Lin Luo was allowed to come over was precisely because he was not a Shuriman and had no war conflicts with the original Icathia, so he could meet the future Jax and the Time Guardian Kieran.
"It seems that all this is as expected by Nasus... Anyway, I just need to do my own job well."
Lin Luo shook his head and continued to move towards the depths of Icacia with Ramos. At the moment, there were no other monsters encountered in the central area.
So according to what Ramos said, Jax will be wandering in the depths of Icathia, so you can see him soon.
"I know how to find Jax. There are two disaster areas ahead. We must go around them, otherwise we will waste a lot of time."
Ramos stared at the black-purple ruins in front of him. Lin Luo activated his ultra-long sight range. Sure enough, he saw two dazzling blood-red signs far ahead in this direction, which meant a high-level disaster area. Two dazzling blood-red signs were hovering in them.
A beastly void creature.
However, whether it is Lin Luo or Ramos, the purpose of this trip is not to really start a fight, but has other purposes.
Fortunately, Ramos was very familiar with the terrain here. Lin Luo kept circling behind him, going around various complicated and rugged detours. He only encountered a few ordinary budding void creatures on the way. After easily dealing with them, he quickly
We have almost bypassed the disaster area and officially arrived at the inner area of Icathia.
At this time, a familiar environmental debuff sound effect message came to Lin Luo's ears.
[Tip: You have now passed through the middle of Icathia and arrived inside Icathia. The debuff status you are currently receiving has increased by 10%. Since you have special props, you are immune to the environmental debuffs in this area. 】
Sure enough, just like before, Lin Luo was immune to environmental debuffs because he had the Void Walker's Notes.
Entering the interior of Icathia, you will see a swamp terrain. The black-purple swamp that is constantly squirming and bubbling is filled with terrible poisonous gas. There are only a few winding paths on the swamp that lead to the endless road.
In the pitch black ahead, Lin Luo couldn't see clearly even if he activated his ultra-long sight range.
"There is great danger in this place. You must be careful. Intelligent void creatures may appear here... Even I must be cautious about void creatures of this level. They have swallowed countless creatures, and they have even rushed out of Icathia.
, I have been to other places in Shurima continent, but I was rejected by the laws of this world, so I can’t stay for too long and will come back after a while.”
Lin Luo frowned slightly, and immediately thought of those heroes of the Void camp in his impression.
Although these beings are called "heroes", for the world of Runeterra, they are truly villains and can be said to be powerful enemies from another world. Their purpose is to destroy and devour this world, and they are absolutely evil.
exist.
And most importantly, they are smart!
Yes, although these void heroes were originally the same as those budding void creatures, they were all among the top batch of void creatures. They devoured countless Icathians and decomposed the knowledge and information in their brains.
Come and understand the history and worldview of the world of Runeterra, which is even more cunning and smart than humans.
And the reason why they are still hiding in the land of Icathia is because they deeply understand that Rune Land is not a low-end world. On the contrary, the top power of this world is terrifyingly powerful.
Not only are there the native barbarian gods in Runeterra, but there are also the protoss on the top of the Titan Peak. These are extremely terrifying existences.
to
Few of the current void creatures have the power to compete head-on with these existences, so they are always lurking in the land of Icathia, becoming a virus in this land, and are always in danger of threatening the entire Runeterra.
Lin Luo didn't say anything. Although he just wanted to complete this visit mission as quickly as possible and then return to Shurima immediately to accept the ascension ceremony, but the experience of so many missions told him that he would definitely meet, it was just a matter of time.
Already.
"Look, that's the Void Swamp Abyss. Jax should be there, and Baron Nash also lives there."
About ten minutes later, Ramos suddenly spoke and came to the middle of the Void Swamp.
Lin Luo looked around and saw that this terrain was an extremely huge crack that opened in the swamp. It was very similar to the Howling Abyss in Freljord, but it was not as spectacular and terrifying. The scale was small in comparison.
It's like a big witch, but it's only a few hundred meters wide and winds out for about ten kilometers in length.
On both sides of the swamp abyss, there is flowing swamp flowing slowly into the abyss, and on a huge rock on the edge of the abyss, a tall and towering figure is sitting quietly.
Surprisingly, this figure has a temperament that is incompatible with the current environment.
It turned out that he was actually holding an ancient and worn-out fishing rod, and the long fishing line was cast into the abyss of the swamp. It was constantly swaying in the turbid swamp, as if he was fishing for something.
Ramos opened his mouth and explained:
"He has been fishing here for about half a month, and he will probably catch it soon. We must help him defeat the target by then, so that we can complete your mission."
Lin Luo was a little surprised and said:
"What was he fishing for? This place doesn't look like there are fish..."
Ramos suddenly laughed:
"Of course it's that Baron Nash... In fact, before being corrupted and mutated by the void, Baron Nash was a giant thousand-year-old deep-sea fish insect. This kind of fish likes special baits, and there are often many powerful fishermen who like to catch them...
Their teeth can be used to create weapons containing magical toxins, which are very powerful... And if this mutated Baron Nash can be captured and killed, then through Jax's means, he will definitely be able to create it and become it.
A very sacred and powerful weapon—Nash’s Fang!”
Lin Luo nodded and quickly moved forward with Ramos. The tall and majestic Jax still had his back to them, without any reaction, like a stone sculpture.
But this is definitely not because Jax didn't feel it. It's more likely that he felt it, but it was not surprising.
Or maybe it was because of Ramos's presence that he didn't feel strange or afraid of the arrival of Lin Luo, a stranger.
"Jax, something big happened over there on Narimajer, and things are going to change in Shurima again."
Ramos came to Jax's side, made a low figure, and then sat down cross-legged, staring into the dark swamp abyss, as if greeting an old friend.
Next, Lin Luo heard a strong and manly voice, which was full of vitality and strength, but also had a calmness that had experienced life and death. Jax said calmly:
"I know, I can feel the arcane wave coming from Narimajie thousands of miles away. It must be that the old king has been resurrected, right?"
Ramos said in surprise:
"You are so good at predicting things!"
Jax sneered:
"It's not that I predict things like a god, but the only one who can create such fluctuations is the evil wizard Xerath, and the only one who can fight him head-on and cause such fluctuations is the last king of the desert.
Wow... I guess Azir won the final throne, and the young man beside you should be the one he sent here to understand the current situation in Icathia."
Speaking of this, Jax sounded indifferent:
"If Azir had been in power, the tragedy of Icathia would not have happened. I heard that Azir was advocating the abolition of slavery in Shurima. If he had been born a hundred years earlier, the disaster of Icathia would have been avoided.
, and the void will not come."
Lin Luo was listening next to him and immediately contacted
I thought of a lot.
When Icathia launched the rebellion, it was because of the slavery system. Since the country of Icathia is a slave country, people from the slave country are not qualified to accept the ascension ceremony. However, Icathia has produced too many talented people.
, under such unfair treatment, the uprising war broke out, which eventually led to disaster.
Ramos smiled bitterly:
"It's not Azir's fault. He couldn't decide when he was born..."
Jax said:
"I know, so he is now expressing his attitude to us in Icacia. Although he cannot change the original history, he is willing to make up for it in the end. I can recognize this attitude... But I must test the people he sent.
Regardless of his strength, if he passes the test, I will consider joining forces with him and give him all the information I have about the Void Land of Icathia."
After saying this, Jax put down the fishing rod, turned around instantly, and stared at Lin Luo.
[Tip: You are under the watchful eye of Weapon Master-Jax!]
At this time, Lin Luo suddenly felt uneasy all over his body. His intuition told him that the other party was very strong, terrifyingly strong. Even the demigod ascended person he met at the beginning did not give him such a terrifying feeling.
It is enough to show that to a certain extent, Jax's power is stronger than those of the Ascended Ones... But if you think about it carefully, that may not be the case. After all, the Ascended Ones that you saw were either seriously injured or ***
Controlling the state, or a pirated product made by Xerath using the power of the sun, the real demigod is still powerful.
In addition to the oppressive feeling of momentum, Jax's own size at close range is also very scary.
He was much taller than those Shuriman people. He stood upright and was more than three meters tall. He was covered in blue-black robes, and on his left hand side stood a bright fire lamp. It looked like
It's an ordinary street lamp, but it's actually the Eternal Fire from the country of Icathia. It's a super weapon at the level of a national artifact, but it just looks ordinary.
In addition, the few exposed skin of Jax is already completely black and purple...
It is no exaggeration to say that the color is exactly the same as those of void creatures. If you don't look carefully, you will even feel that he is a void humanoid creature that can walk upright.
The organ with more void characteristics is Jax's face, which is completely hidden under his coat and cloak. He wears a very thick and strict black and blue cloak on his upper body, which covers his face for more than ten centimeters, causing the light to be completely blocked.
When you go in, you can't see clearly what's going on inside.
But the most horrifying scene was that there were more than a dozen dark purple lights on the faces within the cloak, and they were all flashing with agile expressions, looking at Lin Luo without any scruples.
Lin Luo suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Isn't this exactly the same as the void creature he had seen before?
These dark purple lights are obviously Jax's eyes. As a human, he actually has more than a dozen eyes... Is this a human or a void creature?
"I'm surprised that you can still remain calm when you see me. Many people mistakenly thought that I was a void creature and planned to kill me, but they were all driven away in the end. You are indeed different."
Jax said calmly.
Lin Luo smiled:
"I heard that you were corrupted and alienated by the void. There is nothing I can do about it, but my intuition tells me that you are still a human being, and an extremely upright human being."
Jax said bluntly:
"No need to be polite, I know the purpose of your coming. Compared with Ramos, I also told you... If Azir wants to use you to learn about the situation of Icathia and these voids in the past hundred years,
In order to change the creature, you must first help me accomplish one thing, that is, help me kill Baron Nash who will appear later, how about it?"
At this time, Lin Luo heard the familiar sound of game missions in his ears.
[Tip: You triggered a special mission in the Icathia region: Weapon Master-Jax’s commissioned mission: Assist in killing Baron Nash]
[Task description: At present, the weapon master-Jax has initially met you, but he does not know your true strength, and he
It is very necessary to kill Baron Nash as quickly as possible. Please help him kill Baron Nash, and you will receive the mission reward.】
[Mission Reward 1: You will get Weapon Master-Jax’s favorability: Friendly]
[Task Reward 2: You will be recognized by the Weapon Master, and he will help you understand the situation of Icacia]
[Mission Reward 3: You can get part of the trophies from killing Baron Nash (the quality of the trophies depends on your own contribution in the battle)]
Of course, Lin Luo did not hesitate and accepted the task immediately.
Jax nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, Lin Luo suddenly found that the swamp under his feet began to boil violently, and even the earth began to tremble continuously, as if some terrifying existence was about to rush out from the center of the earth and want to destroy it.
this world.
Ramos suddenly exclaimed:
"——It's coming! I didn't expect it to appear so timely!!"
Jax sneered:
"The wisdom of Baron Nash is not something to be underestimated. He must have appeared a long time ago, but when we treat it as prey, doesn't it also treat us as prey, and wants to catch us all after we gather together?"
