He held the advanced version of the ascension potion with his fingertips. In the dim light transmitted from the window, the potion's golden light shone as bright as a galaxy.
Under Camille's gaze, this was not only a gold mine, but also the dye that dyed the Feros family into gold. It was the fuel that allowed Feros to advance from a world-renowned wealthy businessman and the leading wealthy family to the number one force in Rune Continent.
agent.
She was once again glad that the Feros family had acquired a talent like Sewell and had taken good control of it. As for the gradual reversal of priorities, she didn't care, even if the Feros family was only the second most powerful person under the Sewell family in the end.
The family is much better than living in a corner.
"Should the potions be supplied internally first?" Camille suggested after learning that only Ji Xing could make this stuff at present, and could only make a few bottles in a day, and that this kind of stuff was only suitable for the high-end route.
"Can I take this potion?"
"It should be possible." Ji Xing nodded and said, "The ascension potion is strengthened in all aspects, including the heart, blood, brain, and your condition... I have to stay by you when taking it. It's okay to supply it internally first.
, we can postpone it for a month and cultivate an elite army first.
By the way, find me a site. I want to build a ‘Sevier Magic Academy’ to recruit students across the continent and popularize magic.”
Camille was startled. It was not surprising that Ji Xing, who had accepted an apprentice Qiyana, was preparing to continue training his own magic team, but...establishing a magic academy? Or even...popularizing magic?
She didn't ask any more questions and left the professional matters to professionals. She just said: "The land resources in the Shuangcheng City are very tight now, but if you want to use it, other councilor families should be willing to sell us some. How much do you want to use?"
place?」
Ji Xing thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I will just move an island to the vicinity of the Twin Cities. Then the large building frame can also be completed with magic. Help me recruit some skilled craftsmen to make some decorations."
Camille: "..."
"Is your magic capable of doing this? It seems like you have gained a lot from your travels to various countries."
Camille still remembered Ji Xing's first display of magic and the surprise of single-handedly destroying Gangplank's fleet. It all seemed like yesterday, and indeed it didn't take long, but it was still within the category of an 'ordinary powerful' mage.
,but...moving the island?
This is already a god-like power!
But she doesn't think Ji-sung is exaggerating.
The two exchanged some details, and Camille stood up and said: "In less than a year, the 'bold words' you once put down have been transformed into reality one by one. The Philos family and I are honored to accompany you towards glory."
.”
Ji Xing also stood up, shook hands with her, and said with a smile, "The Gray Lady also helped me a lot."
Camille nodded lightly and turned around to take care of the "work" brought by Ji Xing this time.
And just as Camille doesn't like Qiyana, Qiyana also feels uncomfortable with Camille, a guy who looks like a queen.
After she left, he asked with interest: "Sewell, what other 'bold words' have you made?"
"It's not a bold statement, it's just a goal." Ji Xing explained: "I told her shortly after I joined the Feros family that in the early days, I took refuge under Feros, but I will gradually become equal to Feros, and even surpass her to become the leader.
people.
What she just meant was to admit that Feros will officially be considered a force under my command from now on."
"...Really?" Qiyana expressed disbelief: "I don't think that metal woman is willing to be someone else's subordinate."
"It has nothing to do with you, just stay here and copy your knowledge about demon veins."
Qiyana's expression suddenly fell.
Ji Xing looked at Kasha and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Jax. He came faster than I expected. He must have been waiting for me in Piltover for quite some time."
Kai'sa paused and followed in silence, leaving Qiyana struggling to say a word and wanting to go, but the two of them gave her a slap in the face. She could only type out her homework as if she was giving up on herself and start copying.
…
Xingxing Street, a certain
Tavern private room.
"Did you see that? Strong people can sense each other. Only stupid weak people will worry about whether they haven't noticed us."
Atreus looked at Jax with a dark face, and then at the two people walking in from the private room door. He was speechless for a moment and could only raise his head and drink a glass of wine.
"But the weak always have a purpose. At least they are well-informed." Jax continued to hit Ji Xing and said, "Compared to a year ago, you are indeed a completely different person."
Ji Xing smiled and sat next to the two of them and said, "Well, it's been a long time since we last met. You gave me quite a scare the last time we met."
"Yeah, you were the weak one last time, too." Jax specially emphasized the word 'ye'.
"That's almost enough, Jax!" Atreus said angrily: "I don't know who will lose or win in this competition, but they just caught Baron Nash earlier than me. Do you want to win that match?"
Do you regard it as a lifetime honor?!"
Jax said disdainfully: "Weak people always cannot see the difference. No matter what the content of this competition is, the winner is either me or him. It will never be you, Atreus."
Atreus' immunity level was getting higher and higher. He hesitated after hearing the words and only looked sideways at Ji Xing. Jax rarely praised others with his bad mouth, but just now it seemed that Ji Xing was put on the same level as him.
?
Although it was the first time to meet, Ji Xing was able to communicate with the two of them without any obstacles: "It sounds like... the purpose of you looking for me is a 'competition'? What is the content? I haven't agreed to join yet."
"You won't refuse a competition between real men." Atreus said: "The competition between the three of us will determine who is the strongest human being on Rune Continent. Do you want to miss it?"
"It doesn't sound very attractive." Ji Xing smiled helplessly: "And it's just the three of us, without Mage Ryze?"
"Rune Mage?" Jax said: "He who uses world runes and he who doesn't use runes are two different creatures. The former should not be underestimated. As for the latter..."
He did not continue, but it was obvious that he had made his attitude clear. Ryze, who did not use world runes, was no longer a match for Ji Xing after Ji Xing condensed the first precision rune.
Atreus continued: "That guy won't use the runes in a competition. You mages are always not happy enough, and you are not interested in the competition? Why don't you listen to the content first."
"Hunting Zyra Garden - Zyra." He said in a low voice: "You have heard of this twisted creature born from the power of the world's runes. She has devoured and killed many innocent people over the years. Because of her hidden whereabouts,
It can appear in many places with flowers and plants, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find her.
We agree on a time to set off together, and whoever finds and kills her first will be the winner."
"It sounds even more boring." Ji Xing said.
Standing behind Ji Xing, Kasha seemed to be ignored by the three people, but since she entered the room, she was enveloped by a sense of suffocation.
The three people in front of her seemed to be chatting and agreeing to compete, but in fact they had been competing for a long time. The aura emanating from the collision made Kaisha feel that she was in the same despair as when she was young and had just been swallowed by the void.
No, maybe it's not a rivalry, just the aura that the three of them naturally exuded when they met without restraining their strength to test each other.
After adapting for a while, she finally allowed her heartbeat to calm down. She looked at Jax, who was covered in a thick cloak. From his body, Kaisha did feel a familiar feeling.
At this time, Jax also looked at her. Under the unclear shadow, there seemed to be five purple eyes staring at Kasha. Kasha's body felt cold, and the void tissue on her body began to stir!
Fortunately, before she lost control, Jax looked away and said, "Sevier, have you been to the void passage in Icathia?"
"Well, I went there a few days ago."
"Did you notice that thing?"
"Do you know what that is?"
"I don't know, I call her the Queen of the Void." Jax said in a more solemn tone: "When the void passage there was just reopened, I went there and had a fight with the Void Prophet Malzahar who opened the passage.
, the bastard escaped.
And he was able to escape because a void queen that resembled a female humanoid walked out of the void passage at that time. I spent a lot of effort to kill it and had no time to worry about leftovers."
Kasha was startled, and realized some other meanings from Jax's words. Could it be that...
"Hmph, the void also has wisdom. After suffering a loss, it is preparing to create a big thing this time." Jax snorted coldly: "When the new Queen of the Void is born, it will be the prelude to the disaster."
This was the first time Kai'Sa knew of such a thing. Her blood ran cold, but she couldn't help but ask: "You said the passage... was opened artificially? Void Prophet Malzahar... and, do you know me?"
"Ah, I watched you kill the first void monster with a dagger." Jax said casually: "It surprises me that you can survive to this day, which is very good... maybe the ugly prophet of the void was killed.
I must have been scared."
It was not easy to get a "very good" comment from him, but at this moment, Kasha's heart was filled with excitement, and she never imagined that there was such a "fate" between herself and Jax.
She is not a weak little girl, or she is already not, and she will not complain about Jax not saving her when he saw her.
But she didn't understand... "You have power far beyond mine, so why haven't you tried to block Icathia's void passage for more than ten years? Aren't you a warrior against the void?"
"Humph, little girl, what do you know?" Jax said disdainfully: "Do you know how many void passages there are on land and sea? The one in Icathia is just childish, and the Frost Witch in Freljord can't support it anymore.
Stay tuned, there is a monster more terrifying than the Queen of the Void in that passage."
The power of a single person is limited. Even if he is very strong, when disaster strikes, he will only use himself to fight the strongest monster, instead of fighting endless monsters in advance.
Even though this will cost a lot of people, it is nothing compared to the entire world.
"Freljord, Frost Witch..."
Kasha murmured, my understanding of the void and my power are not enough?
"Weapons Master, can you teach me the power to fight against the void?" she said solemnly.
"I don't accept fools." Jax: "I pray that your progress can meet my requirements."
Ji Xing could tell that Jax still looked at Ka'Sa with some special eyes, maybe because he had witnessed Ka'Sa's transformation from a little girl who could only cry to the present, or because the two of them were indeed in a certain sense.
similar.
But the Freljord... Frost Witch Lissandra? Jax's tone when mentioning her was quite solemn, and she seemed to be very powerful.
Jax is more knowledgeable than anyone else, and his knowledge of the void is what Ji Xing needs.
So Ji Xing thought for a while and changed the topic: "I can agree to the competition, but I suggest that the content be changed."
Atreus perked up and said, "What do you mean? Don't make it too simple. It will be difficult to determine the outcome."
"Have you ever heard of the Soul-eating Night? There are less than three months to go now, let's compete with each other to see who can kill the Ruined King first!" Ji Xing said with a smile.
"Oh? Shadow Island?"
Foego, who was organizing an army of the undead on Shadow Island and preparing to pursue his love again, didn't know that he had become the target of the competition between the three.
It hurts, it hurts too much.
And the three of them didn't know that something unexpected was brewing.
…
…
Gray plains, chaotic whispers.
The ghostly mist wrapped around my body, and I listened to the orders unconsciously, obeying the king's instructions like other ghosts.
Who is the king?
No matter who it is, I have to obey.
No! I am...
Wait, who am I? Where is this?
Oh, I feel like... being killed.
How long has it been?
It was chaotic and confusing, until a wave of anger and unwillingness ignited the ghost fog around me, and several figures gradually became clear in front of me.
Miss Fortune...the mage from Piltover?
By the way! I'm Planck!
I was killed?! No, I am the Lord of Bilgewater! The King of Pirates! How could I be killed by them?!
Everything in front of him gradually became clearer, and Gangplank's body gradually regrouped and took shape, standing like a chicken among the neatly lined up ghosts.
Is this the world after death?
But he saw that in front of the queue, there were some humanoid beings who were just like him but completely different from the ghosts. They all congratulated in unison, "There are new companions, and a new undead general has been born."
The guy who accepted their congratulations stood in the center, with a body made of metal and a pair of eyes that emitted a ghostly cold light. Plank had the urge to worship him just by seeing him.
Is this the King of the Underworld? No, even if I am the King of Hades, I, Gangplank, will not succumb to him!
Soon, Planck knelt down in front of the opponent and expressed his submission.
Because he knew the identity of the other party, a legend, a taboo, an existence that had brought disaster to Runeterra twice - Mordekaiser!
…
"Are you leaving Bilgewater?"
At the Bilgewater harbor, a boatman who smelled like fish was freezing, sealing, packaging and packing fish into universal capsules. His movements were skillful, but his eyes were as dull as a walking zombie.
"Another Night of Souls is coming, and Bilgewater is completely controlled by Sarah."
His name is Walter, and he is a close subordinate of Planck. He was previously an undercover agent responsible for breaking into other gangs and guarding against rebellions. Because of this, few people know about the relationship between him and Planck. Now even those who know about it
All died.
For him, Gangplank's death was like the sky falling. For nearly a year, he had been expecting Gangplank's old men or other captains to overthrow Sarah's rule, and for this reason he had been hiding himself.
But he is getting more and more desperate.
The wealth and convenience brought by the universal capsule have made Sarah's throne, supported by Sevier, more and more stable, and the different governance methods have made Bilgewater less and less like a paradise for criminals.
This place is doomed and hopeless!
Between a meaningless assassination and saving his life, Walter hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind - let's go.
But just after he finished his work for the day, a strange whisper suddenly sounded in his ears, like a devil, making him dizzy.
But unexpectedly, he was able to understand the meaning. His dead fish-like eyes gradually became gleaming, and he looked around in astonishment.
It wasn't until he was sure that there was no one around that he whispered in surprise and enthusiasm: "Captain Plank?!"
