Void Beetle Evolution Guide

"It's done!"

Half a day later, a corrupted three-pronged crown appeared above Isser's head, announcing the birth of a new bond-maker.

The Wild Hunt wielded the Blade of Kings. He could feel that this giant sword was obeying his orders, or rather, this body... He was just feeling all this through the host's body.

"Put away all the black fog. The Curse of Ruin...it's time to end it." The Wild Hunt hesitated for a moment and gave orders to Isher.

Isher obediently turned the hilt of the sword.

In an instant, the surging black fog became strangely still, and then rushed towards the Soul-Killing Blade frantically.

The few people only felt a hurricane coming towards them, mixed with the unwilling screams of the undead, and then they were swallowed up by the dazzling light.

Without the support of the cursed power, the already shattered Shimmering Tower in mid-air began to collapse, burying all those who had no chance to escape.

After an unknown amount of time, there were frequent tremors from under the ruins of the Shuoguang Tower, and a gigantic spider beast broke through the rubble, seeing the light of day again.

"Cough...cough..."

Under the body of Despicable Throat, several dusty people walked out one after another, breathing in the fresh, moist, and slightly salty sea breeze from the outside.

"Wow, it's finally out."

"Yeah, I almost thought I was going to die in there." Ahri coughed violently twice, and his originally shiny white tail turned gray, and a light pat would raise a lot of dust.

"I was careless. I should have moved to the ground first." The Wild Hunt who possessed Iser said with some guilt. He released the force field under the dangerous wall, causing it to disappear. This was probably the stupidest thing he had done since he traveled through time.

Looking up at the clear sky, several people were stunned for a moment, even the Wild Hunter was no exception.

"Is this still the Shadow Isles? The black fog and the undead are all gone."

"The Ruin Curse... is it over?"

"Yes, it's over."

Without the black fog that covered the entire island, they were a little uncomfortable for a while. However, looking at the devastation around them, their excitement quickly calmed down.

Although the Curse of Ruin has ended, the damage it caused will not disappear.

The black fog dissipated and the sea water faded.

The city of Hylia had become a ruin, and the port was still submerged in the sea. The evil aura was gone, leaving only desolation and bleakness.

"The good news is that the boundaries here are returning to normal," Ahri said with relief.

She felt the changes in Shadow Isle most clearly. Now she could breathe freely on the island and no longer had to be submerged in the muddy world of souls. She felt a lot lighter.

"The meeting isn't over yet. Come here, I have something to say." Seeing that several people were about to disperse to explore, the Wild Hunter called them all back.

"Try to be quick, I really want to find a place to take a shower." Kasa urged while combing her tangled hair.

"Let's first talk about who owns the Shadow Isles. Without the daunting black fog, many forces will definitely set their sights on this archipelago. Treasure hunters will flock in, and local forces will try to colonize it. We broke the curse, and I can't just give up the Shadow Isles out of kindness."

"But we have more important things to do..." Kassa said solemnly.

"I know, so I need someone to manage this island for me." The Wild Hunt looked at the short-haired beauty who was listening quietly beside him, "Elise, remember what I said before? After the Shadow Island matter is settled, I will give you a gift that you can never imagine."

"Does the Lord God want to let me manage Shadow Island?" Upon hearing this, Iris couldn't help but breathe quickly, her eyelashes trembled, her pupils trembled, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

She was already flattered when the Wild Hunt gave her the Heart Key and Keystone, but she didn't expect that there was something even bigger waiting for her now.

This sudden happiness almost knocked her out, even though she was usually calm and composed.

"Then do you have the confidence to manage it?" the Wild Hunt asked again.

Iris calmed down and thought about it, then shook her head helplessly: "The Shadow Island is too large. It is impossible for me to supervise the entire island alone. If a large force wants to move in, I will be powerless to stop it."

Even when the black fog was still there, there were still many people like Iris who avoided the countless undead and came to the island to search for treasure. Not to mention that now that the black fog has dissipated, those treasure hunters can come and go as they please, and one person cannot keep up with them all.Mei I'm not sure if you have time or not Lin Youyong......

"Since this island will be occupied sooner or later, why don't we just hand it over in advance?" The Wild Hunt offered a solution: "When you go back, you will report the situation of the Shadow Isles and encourage Noxus to move in. It will be a great achievement to open up new territory for the empire. By then, it won't be too much for you to be the governor of the Shadow Isles, right?"

"Does God mean to ask Noxus to send troops to rebuild the Shadow Isles?"

"That's right. The Shadow Isles are in ruins and we don't have the manpower to rebuild them, so we can only outsource the project to others. Noxus' infrastructure is still very strong. Once they build a fortress in Hylia and send troops to garrison there, we won't have to worry about thieves coveting the items stored in the vault."

Chapter 164: Distribution of Rewards, Ownership of the Island

====

The predecessor of Shadow Island was Blessed Island. The lost civilization and buried treasures will definitely attract many people to flock to it. Even countries will fight to seize this once precious land. You can imagine how chaotic it will be at that time.

If you want to stabilize the Shadow Isles, the best way is to have the powerful Noxian Empire send troops to avoid conflicts in one step.

Noxus is now in urgent need of expanding its territory and will definitely not give up such a large piece of land and the countless magic books and collections on the island.

The method proposed by the Wild Hunt will allow all the massive items stored in the vault to fall under the control of Noxus, but as long as Elise can become the governor of the Shadow Isles, she can decide how to use them.

"But all this is premised on my becoming the governor..." Iris hesitated. This responsibility was too heavy, and she had been away from management for a long time, so she was not sure she could complete the Wild Hunt's mission.

"You don't have to worry about that. Swain himself proposed the military merit system and he will not violate it. Otherwise, he will be impeached and removed from office. Leblanc is plotting the treasures in the vault and will do her best to push you to become the governor. After all, she still needs you to open a backdoor for her."

"But what if I am sidelined?" Iris asked worriedly.

The Wild Hunt turned his attention to Isher, who stood silently, leaning on his sword, his dull eyes staring straight ahead.

When the black fog disappeared, her physical parents returned to the Sunstone. Without the Wild Hunt's orders, she would be a dumb puppet, somewhat out of tune with the others.

"Iris, I will leave Isher to you. With her Soul Devouring Blade, no one should be able to shake your position. But you also have to be responsible for teaching her. She is like a blank sheet of paper now. She knows nothing, but she is very malleable."

"Yes! I will definitely not let God down!"

The Wild Hunt's reply made Elise overjoyed. What she was most worried about was that she would be sidelined by Swain and LeBlanc when her own strength and power were insufficient.

But if Isher joins, she will be able to become more powerful and confront the two biggest forces in Noxus, both overt and covert.

Holding the Soul-Eating Blade is equivalent to commanding a million-strong undead army. Looking across the entire Runeterra, there is no country that can resist such a force, let alone defending a Shadow Island.

"If Noxus sends a large number of troops to the Shadow Isles, the pressure on the Ionian battlefield will be much less."

"So, my benefactor has considered this aspect?" Ali was very moved.

No one wants to see their hometown engulfed in war, and the move by the Wild Hunt will have a profound impact on the world situation.

The Shadow Isles are now desolate and it will take decades for them to recover.

During this period, it will continue to consume Noxus's manpower and material resources. Without support in the rear, the Noxian troops stationed on Philo Island will act more conservatively, and Ionia will get a chance to catch its breath.

After a war, the ideology of the Ionians has begun to change.

Conservatives and radicals are fighting endlessly. If time goes on a little longer, perhaps people will be able to reach a consensus.

"Isser, go over there. From now on you will listen to Iris and do whatever she tells you to do." The Wild Hunt ordered.

"Ah."

Ise responded and walked towards Iris with an expressionless face. The latter immediately opened her arms and hugged her in her arms, looking at her with fiery eyes as if she had found a treasure.

"Little Isel, please give me your guidance from now on. I will definitely train you into an adult~"

"You just said training, right? Don't go too far, it would be bad if she teaches her bad habits." Ahri looked at Iris's nympho look and couldn't help but complain.

"Just a joke."

"I will come here regularly to check on Isher's condition and formulate a training plan," Wild Hunt added.

In fact, he thought about using Ise as his temporary body, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to.

Since leaving Shurima, he doesn't have as much time as he did to train Iseult.

If he took her to Freljord, he would most likely use Isher as a mere tool because he was in a hurry.

It would be better to let Iris take care of it, as she just happens to need the Soul-Devouring Blade in Ither's hand.

The skin armor is enough to deal with most situations. The Wild Hunt does not have a high demand for the Soul Eater. It only regards it as a trump card and can borrow it through the hive space when needed.

Besides, Kassa probably wouldn't agree with him leaning over another host all the time, let alone allowing him to touch her with someone else's body.

She was the one who most wanted the trip to Shadow Isles to end quickly, and she had been patient for a long time. If the Wild Hunt broke its promise, she would definitely cry.

"That's enough about the ownership of the Shadow Isles. Next, let's talk about Bilgewater."

Hearing this, Sarah, who had always felt that she was of low status and couldn't get a word in, suddenly straightened up as if she had been called out.

"I've already said before that I want Sarah to be the queen of Bilgewater, but I haven't explained why." The Wild Hunt cleared his throat and said, "The reason is actually very simple. I want control of the Slaughterhouse Docks."

There is always the risk of a leviathan attack around Bilgewater, but over the years, hunting and dealing with these massive creatures has spawned a lucrative industry.

Hunting boats hauled them back to port, where they were cut up and sold in the growing dockside market for meat, oil, skin, scales, even bones and teeth.

As the name suggests, Slaughterhouse Dock is a place where sea beasts are processed.

The monsters caught in the deep sea are piled up on the shore, waiting to be sent to the slaughterhouse for dismantling and processing all day long.

Blood Harbor got its name from this, because not even the waves could wash away the endless flow of greasy blood between the wooden planks.

It is also notorious for its stench.

The strong salty smell of sea beasts being gutted, the rotting waste stuck to the cobblestone road for weeks in the sun; the guano left by thousands of seabirds stealing food, and the blood-stained workers at the slaughter docks defecating and urinating everywhere;

This smell is a combination of all the foul odors, and it would make even those with a strong taste for flavor vomit.

But in Bilgewater, this stench means prosperity, means a good return, and means the great wealth brought by sea beasts.

The blood-stained waves meant that people had money in their pockets; and if they had money, they would spend it in restaurants, gambling dens, brothels and other places of spending money around the pier.

And in all of these places, the rulers of Bilgewater get a piece of the action.

Of course, the Wild Hunt is not after these huge profits, what he wants are various samples of sea beasts.

The World Rune solved the energy problem of the skin armor, allowing the skin armor to obtain energy without devouring flesh and blood. Devouring powerful giant sea monsters can still allow the skin armor to evolve, and the two are not contradictory.

"This piece of fat meat has always been in Gangplank's hands. Now that Gangplank is dead, those gangs will definitely fight to seize the dock. So I need Sarah to take the position of Queen to manage the Slaughter Dock for me."

"I don't have many men left, and I'm afraid I can't keep the situation under control." Sarah said with embarrassment. Her situation was actually not much different from Iris's.

Although she killed Gangplank, she did not dare to rashly go to claim the bounty.

The Wild Hunt would not protect her forever. Accepting the reward was equivalent to telling everyone in Bilgewater that she had a large sum of money, but she might not be able to spend it even if she lived to do so.

"That's easy. When you go back, you should vigorously develop your own power. I will help you deal with all the disobedient guys, and then subdue a sea beast for you to use as a mount. After this set of combined punches, no one should dare to question you. When you sit firmly on the throne, remember to pay tribute to a sea monster every month, and try to choose different types... Well, you can now think about what sea beast you will choose as a mount."

"Okay! Please rest assured, master." Sarah was very excited and suddenly felt much more confident.

Even Baru's Tidecaller can only drive away sea beasts, but cannot make them obedient.

Controlling a sea beast as ferocious as the Maw of Vileness, he is nearly invincible in Bilgewater.

She can also add a legendary touch to her own experience and attract others to follow her as the daughter of the sea god.

"That's all I have to say. Elise, Sarah, you must perform well and live up to my expectations. As for Kai'Sa and Ahri, you two must follow me to Freljord. We have more important things to do."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.

After explaining everything, the group headed towards the port, ready to board the shaky Royal Palace to be transported to Bilgewater.Mei I sing you don't have space sing Lin has sing......

Bilgewater is about to welcome its queen, and the rest of the people will also go there to rest and take care of everything before setting off again.

Chapter 165: Receiving the Bounty

=================================

Back in Bilgewater, the already shaky Royal Palace fell apart as expected.

But she also fulfilled her duty, sinking while mooring towards the dock, and sent several people ashore before sinking into the water.

The sea was a tranquil, vast expanse of emerald green, and people on the dock had already begun repairing boats and rebuilding their homes.

Bilgewater never stops, not even in the early morning after the Harrowing.

"Is the boat in good repair?"

Iris held the captain's seal in her hand and looked back at the last chimney of the Royal Palace sinking into the water, feeling a little reluctant.

After sailing the boat a few times, she felt that the Royal Palace was so useful that it was a pity to see it sink.

"It will take Tam to fix it, but I think it must hate me so much that it will ask for a huge price," said the Wild Hunter.

"After I get Gangplank's head money, I will go to the shipyard to ask if it can be repaired. I want to build a new ship for myself." Sarah took over the topic: "As the Queen of Bilgewater, I will be looked down upon if I don't have a magnificent ship."

"Then let's check the bounty list first." The Wild Hunt's eyes swept across the thousands of sails in the harbor. "We can't rely on the Royal Palace. During the few days we stay in Bilgewater, we have to find another ship to go to Freljord. Everyone, please keep an eye out."

"I really don't want to leave, but I have to return to the Immortal Fortress as soon as possible to report. I can't move with everyone else. Let's separate here." Iris sighed while holding Ither's hand.

"Go ahead, business is more important."
