At the western end of the Silver Mountains, deep in the quiet forest on the top of the mountain, a blue-white halo engraved with runes emerged from the snow-covered soil.

After four or five seconds, the light of the aperture suddenly leaked out, and countless blue magic particles gathered.

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure in blue-black armor suddenly appeared. It was Li Lin, who had just been teleported from Piltover to the border of Demacia.

As soon as he landed, Li Lin couldn't help but frown and forcefully suppressed the nausea in his throat. "Hiss, I have to find a way to deal with this dizziness from teleporting..."

[Perhaps, we can use pure technology to construct a new type of transmission, just like your subspace and wormhole theory.]

"It's too early to tell. We haven't even mastered nuclear fusion yet."

Li Lin responded while viewing the environment around him through the armor's holographic display.

The Shimmering Silver Mountains were exactly the same as the barren mountains he had imagined. Large areas of bare limestone and basalt were exposed on the surface, and tall trees reached the sky.

However, since it is the end of the year and the altitude is too high, snow has already fallen here early.

In the armor's scanning mode, various animals, including birds, squirrels, hares, etc., are resting on the surrounding dark bushes and trees.

It seemed that they had never seen a human like Li Lin who had such tremendous energy flowing in him. Most of the animals looked at this side with vigilance and curiosity.

"Smart brain, where are we now?" Li Lin thought and opened the map location.

[The saddle west of the Gate of Sorrow is exactly the same as the estimated teleportation coordinates.]

[As you wished, this place is far from the Gate of Sorrow, and the magical light of the teleportation array will not be discovered by the outpost on the mountaintop.]

Li Lin nodded slightly, first releasing the five reconnaissance stealth drones on his body to fly around, then changed his mind and controlled the armor to enter the "optical camouflage" mode.

The next second, the blue holographic display screen in front of him changed color and became translucent along with the armor.

From the outside, Li Lin seemed to have disappeared from the spot. Covered by the snow, trees and evergreen bushes, it was impossible to see where he was with the naked eye.

[Optical camouflage mode is in place, noise reduction system is fully activated, and nano energy core operating power is reduced to 30%.]

Following the display of the holographic map and with the reconnaissance drone leading the way, Li Lin headed straight towards the Gate of Sorrow outpost.

Along the way, the armor also scanned many Noxian sentinels hiding in various secret corners, almost blending into the environment with just camouflage, which really amazed him.

However, he came to the Gate of Sorrow this time just to investigate the situation of the Gate of Sorrow.

In order not to alert the enemy, he gave up the idea of ​​testing the stealthiness of his armor and did not provoke the elite sentinels who were on high alert.

After another five minutes of quick travel, Li Lin climbed over the steep slopes and rocks and arrived at the outskirts of the Gate of Sorrow outpost.

This outpost, which is like a small castle, is not very large in area, but it can easily accommodate about a hundred people.

The city walls made of white rocks are covered with a thick layer of snow. Combined with the architectural style of the watchtowers, they all reflect Demacia's pursuit of exquisite style.

However, the dark red flag of Noxus fluttering in the wind above the watchtower is really out of tune with the appearance of this small castle.

Li Lin found the steel portcullis facing southeast of the Gate of Sorrow, squatted in the outer forest, and controlled the drone to scan the outpost.

As several camouflaged drones flew over the outpost, infrared thermal imaging scans transmitted all the Noxian soldiers in the outpost one by one to the holographic display screen of the armor.

"There are a total of 73 elite Noxian warriors stationed here. It seems that the main force did not stay here for long... Hmm?"

Suddenly, Li Lin noticed something unusual about the armor's energy index. "What's going on?"

The intelligent brain will immediately display the detected anomalies on the holographic display screen.

[Based on energy fluctuations, 22 of these 73 Noxian elite soldiers appear to be mages, 6 of whom have energy fluctuations far exceeding the average, and the other 16 soldiers...]

The intelligent computer paused for a moment in silence, which was rare. It then used the drone to scan the physical data of those people and recalculated the data.

[The other 16 soldiers have physiological phenomena that are extremely different from those of ordinary humans. They... no, to be more precise, they should be called them.]

[Their hearts seemed to have stopped beating long ago, and some of them still had fatal wounds, but their blood was still flowing in their veins, full of life.]

"Tsk, the living dead?" Li Lin took a deep breath and his face gradually became gloomy.

Ever since Noxus began its invasion of Ionia, Ionians who fled to Piltover in the following years have mentioned that Noxus has an undead army.

Even if the Ionian soldiers inflicted countless fatal wounds on them, as long as their legs were not cut off to make them unable to move, the group of undead and bloodthirsty monsters would continue to crawl up from the ground and charge at the Ionian militia.

Li Lin knew very well who was responsible for these dirty tricks that forced the souls of the dead soldiers to rest in peace—Vladimir, the Crimson Reaper of the Black Rose Society.

Blood magic.

A magic that uses blood as a medium, coming from the forbidden witchcraft of ancient Shurima, a combination of water elemental magic and the taboos of spirit magic that break conventions.

These people must have signed a bloody contract with Vladimir, thus gaining control of the evil magic of manipulating blood and even resurrecting the dead.
