Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 374 Get started

“Crash! Crash!”

In the silent and dark dungeon, as Silas trained, the heavy gray-white magic-suppressing chains kept colliding and making noises.

‘998, 999, 1000! ’

"Bang~!"

"Huhuhu~!"

Silas sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

Sweat flowed down the bulging muscles, leaving faint traces.

In this deep dungeon, Silas was too lazy to care about so many things. Over the years, his body was inevitably covered with a layer of mud-like substance.

"It's been 9 days already..."

Looking at the lantern on the ground that was emitting an extremely faint light, this thought suddenly popped into Silas' mind.

Nine days. Nine whole days.

Ever since Lux delivered the books that day, she has never come to the cell again.

As a result, the Piltover lantern, which had not changed its energy source, was almost completely extinguished.

However, Silas had already memorized all the contents on the night he received the pale yellow booklet.

Now it was meaningless to him whether the lantern was extinguished or not.

"But...if Laxana doesn't come, how can I get magic power?"

Silas frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows.

As a former demon hunter, even though he is not welcomed because of his identity as a "demon infected", Silas still has a clear understanding of the demon hunter system.

With the help of newspapers and books brought by Lux, Silas learned that the power of the Demon Hunters has expanded a lot over the years, but the system has not changed much.

As a direct member of the Crown Guard, Lux was able to frequently go in and out of the "Black Prison", and even met with prisoners like Silas who were considered the most dangerous.

If the Demon Seekers' top brass really had no idea, Silas would be willing to kneel down and kiss the III's boots.

Along with the booklet sandwiched between the books, which Lacus had absolutely no idea about.

Silas knew that most of this was caused by the intervention of the top demon hunters.

"What are you guys planning to do with this..."

After thinking for a while, Silas stopped thinking due to insufficient information.

After all, no matter what, the other party's plan undoubtedly gave Silas hope of getting out.

'Come on, Laxana, while I still have patience...'

After years of exploration and the knowledge in the booklet, Silas has mastered the secret of the forbidden magic stone.

All it takes is one chance, and the shackles on his body can be transformed into a weapon of revenge.

...

Demon Seekers Headquarters, Eldred's Office.

"How's that guy doing?"

“Your Excellency, although the other party is hiding very well, from our observation, he is becoming more and more impatient.

Therefore, we speculate that the target has learned the contents of the booklet."

“Well, hatred is the best motivation, so let’s ignore that guy for now.

What about the other target? How long has it been since you last visited it? "

"My Lord, it has been 11 days."

"11 days..."

Eldred's face was as calm as water, and the atmosphere in the room slowly solidified.

Lovegood clenched his right hand slightly.

"Sir, should we use some other tricks to lure the other party into the dungeon?"

"No need, don't alert the enemy, you go down first."

"Yes, my lord!"

Lovegood bowed respectfully and slowly left the room.

"Click~!"

The door closed softly, and Eldred was left alone.

Staring at the information on the table, it was a rough action list of all the direct members of the Crown Guard from the Crown Guard Manor.

Among them, the information about Lux and Tiana frequently mentioned a name that Eldred was familiar with.

"Lee En..."

As he whispered the name, Eldred's expression grew darker.

"Hoo~!"

Taking a long breath to adjust his state, with reverence in his heart, Eldred slowly mobilized the power bestowed upon him by that being.

"Om~!"

A strange, black mist-like energy rose from his palm.

At the same time, on the left face covered by the golden mask, dark lines like blood vessels quickly spread around.

"Hmm~!"

Even though it wasn't his first time using it, the tearing pain still made Eldred groan.

Enduring the severe pain and controlling this power, Eldred closed his eyes and began to try to cause the resonance of the "evil curse" in the distance.

"Om~!"

The black mist-like energy shook violently, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down Eldred's cheeks.

However, the 'evil curse' in the distance was like a stubborn stone, without any response.

A few minutes later, Eldred, whose lips had turned pale, slowly opened his eyes.

"Still...Is it not possible..."

Eldred turned his head to look at the information on the table. It was the day when he first activated the "evil curse" and Li En happened to be visiting the Crown Guard Manor.

After that, Eldred had invoked the 'evil curse' several times, but all of them ended in no response, just like today.

If this had nothing to do with Li En, Eldred wouldn't believe it at all.

'Damn Noxian gladiators...'

Cursing inwardly, Eldred began to look through the documents on the other side, which recorded the relationship network of all the people related to Li En.

Jarvan, Garen, Lux, Vayne, Fiona...

The names flashed across Eldred's eyes. These people were either extremely powerful and could not be moved for the time being, or they stayed by Li En's side and there was no suitable reason or opportunity to catch them.

It wasn't until he turned to the last page that Eldred's eyes lit up.

"Sona Bouvier..."

...

It was early in the morning and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

"Let's go, Mom. My sister and I are going to the church to volunteer today!"

"Have breakfast first!"

"No, no, there may not be enough time."

Kashina said, taking Sona's hand and about to leave.

"Wait, breakfast is in the box, take it and eat it on the way."

As Lady Lestara spoke, a maid came running over hurriedly with a food box.

"Okay, thank you mom!"

"Well, you must eat, otherwise you will be starving in the morning!"
