"Haunting Night... You think too simply, Sarah."

Li Lin restrained his expression and uttered the word that even the Baju people were reluctant to use: "It is far more terrifying than the Soul-Eating Night, the Curse of Destruction."

When Sarah heard the name, she shuddered for no apparent reason and began to mutter in her heart:

It's obviously just a bad name, there are many of them in magic books, why do I feel terrified and even think that I am involved in this?

"Okay, the Curse of the Ruined King is even more terrifying than the Harrowing Night. Could this be the origin of the Shadow Isles?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, unfortunately, you guessed right."

Sarah suddenly straightened her back.

I didn't expect that my nonsense would reveal the origin of Shadow Island?

"The Baru people know this. There are relevant records in their library. However, they have always considered us foreigners to be despicable and ignorant, and have never mentioned the origin of the Shadow Isles."

"Spear of Vengeance, you must have heard of her legend?" Li Lin deliberately brought up the topic.

"In exchange for your soul, Kalista will avenge your betrayer... a powerful, vengeful spirit that roams the Black Mist, known to all in Bilgewater."

Sarah seemed to react, her gray-green eyes widening. "Could it be related to the origin of the Shadow Isles?"

"Kalista is the niece of Viego, the King of Kamavia who unleashed the Curse of Ruin."

Although Sarah had never heard the name before, she couldn't help but shudder all over.

There is magic in the true name, just like the Baru people call Nagakabouros.

Sarah, who secretly believed in magic, naturally understood this.

Just by calling out the real name, one can interfere with living beings...

How terrifying is this guy's power?

"A thousand years ago, Viego traveled to the Blessed Isles, the predecessor of the Shadow Isles, in order to save his long-dead queen, Insurd.

"But due to the instigation of an evil man and his own men, he placed the body into the sacred fountain of life, but the water cannot resurrect the soul of the deceased.

"The grieving soul, unable to rest, was imprisoned in the corpse. Insurd wielded the King's Sword, imbued with powerful ancient magic, and pierced Viego.

"The cycle of the King's Sword's destruction of the body and the Water of Life's constant resurgence triggered a catastrophe that engulfed the entire Fuguang Island.

"The Curse of Ruin. This is the origin of the Shadow Isles."

Li Lin stared at Sarah's worried eyes very seriously, "I think you should know Thresh and Hecarim. They were the evil guys and traitors who led Viego back then. It was Hecarim's betrayal of Kalista that led to her becoming what she is today.

"After a thousand years, the long-dormant Ruined King Viego is about to return. He will control the black fog as his vanguard and travel around the world in search of his queen's soul.

"Guess what will happen to Bilgewater, the city closest to the Shadow Isles?"

Sarah: “…”

This is a secret Sarah has never heard of: the origin of the Shadow Isles, the life-giving water of the Blessed Isles, and the curse of ruin caused by the ancient nation of Kamavia...

It sounds so crazy and incredible.

"Do you have a way to solve this problem?" Sarah hesitated for a long time, but still asked the question that worried her most.

After all, Bilgewater was her home, and she had vowed to lead its people back to the right path.

But now, Li Lin's words completely dispelled her previous "dream".

She wasn't even sure she could coordinate her men to block the Soul-Eating Night, let alone the Curse of Ruin?

"This is exactly what I want to do, to kill the Curse of Ruin at its source." Li Lin said, "I will find a good time to go to the Shadow Isles and solve the problem of the Curse of Ruin."

Although she didn't know whether the man in front of her was bragging or not, for some reason, Sarah had an inexplicable trust in him.

Without waiting for her to reply, Li Lin continued, "The Curse of Ruin is my problem to solve. As for you..."

He turned to look at the still unconscious Gangplank and said, "Set a time for Gangplank's execution. You will do it yourself."
