Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

The leader of these people was a woman with an unusually large build, who was holding a bluish-gray skull-shaped object.

This skull-shaped artifact is the sacred relic that Nagakapolos entrusted to the contemporary 'True One'—the Divine Relic!

And this woman is Illaoi, the contemporary true one of the Baru Temple!

At this moment, Illaoi, holding the Divine Sword, stared intently at the approaching black mist in the distance.

Suddenly, Illaoi looked at the Divine Serpent in her hand.

At this moment, a verdant tentacle stretched out from the divine realm, shimmering with a soft glow.

Gazing at the strange changes in the divine sense, Illaoi murmured softly, "Has yet another soul passed the trial of the Queen Mother?"

"Logically speaking, the trial of Mother Hu was initiated by the gods. It's really rare for a trial to be initiated by Mother Hu herself! Perhaps we'll have the chance to get to know her in the future!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Illaoi withdrew her gaze and turned back to look at the distant Soul Eater.

Under the watchful eyes of the priests behind her, Illaoi, wielding the Divine Serpent, instantly appeared on the sea outside Bilgewater Harbor.

It was at this moment that Soul Eater Night arrived in front of her!

With a powerful stomp on the sea surface, Illaoi leaped high into the air and then slammed the Divine Serpent in her hand heavily into the sea below!

"Swimming back and forth, without end!"

"Nagachapolos, my chief goddess, please allow me to use your power!"

The moment Illaoi finished speaking, countless giant tentacles, tens of meters long, rose from beneath the sea, their emerald green light illuminating the entire Bilgewater harbor!

The next instant, under Illaoi's control, the countless tentacles lashed out at the black mist in front of them!

Chapter 27 Fisherman? No, human trafficker!

As the first line of defense against the Night of the Dead, Bilgewater, with the help of the Temple of Baru, has always been able to successfully block the spread of the Black Mist.

This time, it's the same.

Every strike of the enormous tentacle originating from the god of life is destined to claim the lives of countless undead.

It's fair to say that without the help of other powerful entities, Shadow Isles would have a very difficult time breaking through this defense.

After a night of fighting, Illaoi and the priests behind her stood on the shore of Bilgewater, watching the black mist originating from the Shadow Isles gradually recede.

Thus, the Night of Soul Devouring finally came to an end.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the strait, as Illaoi left south of Bilgewater and returned to the Temple of Baju north of Piraeus.

"Poof!"

The calm sea surface, without a single ripple, was suddenly broken, and Zuo Chi, who had been missing all night, burst out from underwater!

The moment he burst out of the water, Zuo Chi instinctively prepared to use the power of ascension to stand on the sea.

But soon Zuo Chi discovered that his body was actually standing steadily on the water!

Without relying on any external force or using his own ascension power, Zuo Chi was now standing as if on flat ground, and the sea could no longer restrain his movements.

The night of the Soul-Eating Demon had just ended, and the entire world was unusually calm.

The dark green seawater reflected the sun and clouds in the sky. The sea breeze gently brushed against Zuo Chi's face, and ripples spread outwards from his toes.

Slowly raising his hand, Zuo Chi stared at his right hand, feeling as if everything that had happened last night was a dream.

Deep in the ocean, only after being completely bound by those tentacles did Zuo Chi realize that Nagakapolos had not come to avenge Nautilus, but to personally launch the trial of the goddess Nagakapolos against him!

As the goddess representing life, growth, and eternal movement, Nagakaporos generously grants trials to eligible souls when they are in dire straits.

If you fail Na's trial, it means your soul will be crushed by those tentacles that shimmer with emerald light.

Once you pass the trials of the goddess Na, you will receive the blessing of the goddess of life!

According to Zuo Chi's understanding, it seems that many people have undergone the trials of the goddess Na, but very few have actually passed them.

In Zuo Chi's memory, besides Nautilus, there seemed to be only that water ghost who wielded a dagger and carried a bounty, wandering around Piraeus.

The trial is extremely difficult, but the rewards for passing it are incredibly generous.

Just like Zuo Chi now, he can clearly sense that his physical body is almost countless times stronger than before!

At the same time, Zuo Chi also gained the ability to roam freely in this sea area.

Zuo Chi was not a follower of Nagakaporos, but she still bestowed upon him her blessing.

This is almost the first time in history!

Standing on the sea, Zuo Chi looked out at the vast and boundless ocean.

At this moment, there was nothing around him except the seawater. Zuo Chi was somewhat unsure of his current location or where to go.

Walking on the sea, Zuo Chi could only hope that he would encounter passing ships as he walked.

Only in this way can he figure out what he should do next.

From dawn to noon, it seemed as if Zuo Chi was the only person in the entire sea area.

Zuo Chi thought that the ships in the harbor had only just set sail because of the Soul-Eating Night.

Finally, after a long half-day wait, a rather large and luxurious ship came into view in Zuo Chi's sight.

Upon seeing the ship, Zuo Chi was immediately puzzled.

Because this ship doesn't look like the kind of hunting vessel that goes out to sea to hunt sea creatures at all; it looks more like a transport ship used by merchants.

Such ships are extremely rare in Piraeus, after all, there are hardly any merchants in Piraeus, more like outlaws!

However, Zuo Chi did not hesitate and sped towards the large ship.

As Zuo Chi approached the side of the large ship, he heard a loud commotion coming from the ship, as if many people were discussing something on the deck.

Zuo Chi's feet touched the sea surface, and he leaped directly onto the deck of the large ship.

"!!??"

On one side of the deck, two people who were talking looked shocked and confused when they saw Zuo Chi.

The way they looked at Zuo Chi at this moment was exactly the same as how people from Hong Kong looked at a water ghost!

"Cough cough!"

Zuo Chi patted his clothes, which were still completely dry, and smiled slightly at the two of them.

"I got a craving for fish, so I went ashore and caught some. Haha!"

As Zuo Chi spoke, he walked towards the center of the deck, leaving the two people standing there dumbfounded.

Hey, big brother, you're going into the water to catch fish?!

And you're even in the Air Force?!

Zuo Chi naturally ignored their gazes and went straight to the center of the deck.

Sitting in the middle of the deck, Zuo Chi listened quietly to the conversations of the people around him.

After a short while, Zuo Chi received information that shocked him immensely.

This ship didn't come from Bilgewater, but from Piltover, one of the twin cities west of Piraeus!

The ship departed from the Sun Gate of Piltover at the last minute, just missing yesterday's Soul Eater Night, and then encountered Left Pond at this time.

At the same time, Zuo Chi also discovered that he had actually traveled from the south of Bilgewater to the northeastern sea area of ​​Bilgewater overnight, which was the very edge of the area that Soul Eater had reached!

Zuo Chi was a little confused. Was it because he was too good at floating, or was he brought here by Na Shen?

Zuo Chi sat on the deck and reached out to touch a man beside him:

"Brothers, may I ask where you're headed?"

"Ok?"

Upon suddenly hearing Zuo Chi's voice, the man was clearly taken aback.

He turned to look at Zuo Chi, his eyes showing the same bewildered expression as the two people from before.

"Ionia! Aren't you one?"

What am I going to Ionia for?

Clearly, the man's words were something Zuo Chi hadn't expected.

After waiting for ages, not only did the ferry I took not come from Piraeus, but it didn't even go to Piraeus as its final destination!

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, the man's doubts became even more pronounced.

"Weren't you going to Ionia for the Spirit Blossom Festival?"

Zuo Chi raised an eyebrow, then his expression became extremely serious.

"Of course I am! I'm a native Ionia!"

Zuo Chi patted the man on the shoulder, his face showing an expression of regret for not having met him sooner.

"To meet fellow Ionians here is truly like meeting an old friend in a foreign land; it's a divine arrangement!"

"But," the man scratched his head, "I'm not Ionian."
