Mysterious Copper Medallion
Thresh didn't lock Lucian in the lamp; he glimpsed Senna's secret and learned that she wanted to marry Lucian after this mission. (-_-) (-_-)
He told Lucian about it in a harsh voice and mocked him, saying that he and Senna should be separated forever, not even in death.
Thresh then disappeared, Lucian lay on the ground, struggling to breathe. At that moment, several more undead appeared, raising their weapons to strike him.
Lucian didn't struggle; he closed his eyes, ready to face death.
He heard the sound of his body being pierced, but felt no pain; his consciousness inevitably began to blur...
After an unknown amount of time, a beautiful face appeared in his mind—it was Senna's face.
Senna stroked his face, preparing to kiss him as usual, but before her red lips could reach his, she was suddenly pulled away by a chain and then locked in a light.
Senna cried out for help, but Lucian couldn't hear her. He could only see her desperately pounding on the lamppost, tears streaming down her face.
Lucian suddenly regretted his actions. He shouldn't have given up on himself. Senna wasn't dead; she was just trapped inside the light! Maybe he could still rescue her!
He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still alive. A captivating face appeared before him, but it wasn't Senna.
The woman told Lucian that the Shadow Isles would attack again, and then she disappeared. He quickly got up and could only watch her disappear into the night.
He didn't know the woman, nor did he know why she saved him, but one thing was certain: the Shadow Isles the woman spoke of were the place where he and Senna had met their demise.
After wandering around for a bit, Lucian was surprised to learn that he had been sent to Zaun, so far away. How had he gotten here? Had a lot of time passed?
He inquired about the date and discovered it was the same night, indicating the woman had used teleportation magic to bring him here.
He was eager to return and take revenge, but he needed to improve his strength first, so he visited the famous pharmacists and scientists there.
Finally, like Twisted Fate, he accepted the potion-based transformation here, but after a series of painful ordeals, he unfortunately failed.
Not only that, his bones were also severely damaged, and he could not exert any force in his limbs, otherwise he would experience excruciating pain.
Instead of becoming stronger, Lucian was nearly crippled. Enraged, he wanted to kill the apothecary. At that moment, the apothecary told him that he could seek help from the Philoss House, whose craftsmanship would make replacing his limbs easy.
Lucian ultimately didn't let the apothecary go; he killed the fraudster and then headed to Piltover.
Lucian had amassed a considerable fortune during his time as Bounty Hunter, but it was far from enough to buy him Hextech Prosthetic.
Finally, as a last resort, he suggested replacing only the bones, not the original flesh. This would make the surgery more complex, but would reduce the consumption of Primal Crystal by more than half.
Unfortunately, the surgery failed again. The procedure of replacing only bones was too difficult, and Lucian's limbs were completely ruined.
When he heard the news, he was devastated. At that moment, the doctor discovered his dual pistols. Only Demacia could create such advanced Nullifying Craft.
The Phiros Family originally came from Demacia, and as a high-ranking member of the Phiros Family, this doctor naturally knew that these weapons came from a remarkable family.
The doctor then informed the head of the family, Stivan, about Lucian's condition. Stivan came to see him in person and learned that Lucian's grandfather was actually an old friend of his.
This old friend had told him many times that he had a grandson with magical talent who had been banished, and he had never been able to let it go. He never expected to meet him here.
Stivan, of course, wouldn't stand idly by. He immediately replenished Lucian's remaining Primal Crystal, crafted true Hextech Limbs, and enhanced his pistol, turning it into an even more powerful Hextech Nullifying Pistol!
After many hardships, Lucian finally gained strong limbs. He thanked Stivan and embarked on his journey to find the Shadow Isles.
After observing the area for several days, he discovered that the Shadow Isles rarely appear, mostly submerged in the sea, and only appear once or twice when the weather is cold and fewer people go out to sea.
Over the years, he had set foot on the Shadow Isles several times, killing countless undead, but he had only encountered Thresh twice. Each time Thresh appeared, he was much larger and stronger than the last.
Lucian, relying on the power of the Hextech Nullifying Pistol, was not afraid of him, but he could not defeat him either. Each time, he was mocked and then left in anger as the Shadow Isles sank.
This time was no exception.
Lucian's message is important; we now know that the undead fear the power of antimagic, so we don't need to blindly engage them.
No wonder Riven used her greatsword to cut Thresh's chains when she saved me. Her greatsword was commissioned by Fiora and forged by Demacia craftsmen, and it happens to have the power to suppress magic!
The initial chaos of the battle prevented us from noticing this. It seems we need to make a trip to Demacia to have a master craftsman forge some Nullifying Weapon.
The undead have already appeared twice this year, and according to Lucian, they won't appear again this year.
Of course, it's not certain. The weather is still cold, so it's possible that they will continue to appear. After all, they didn't invade Bilgewater before, but now they are showing this tendency.
The war was over, and it was time for everyone to part ways. Illaoi left her stone statue with Gangplank, telling him that if he wanted to summon her again, he could simply throw the statue into the sea; there was no need for Hylan's Blood.
As she was leaving, she patted me on the shoulder, complimented me a couple of times, and then suddenly stopped and stared at my pendant:
Where did you get this bronze medal?
"It was Yarlin who picked it out for me at the street stall; it's that boy from Hailan's family."
"Do you know the origin of this bronze plaque?"
"I don't know, I don't recognize the characters either."
Tam heard our conversation, walked over to me, picked up the bronze medal, looked at it, and gave me his usual inscrutable expression:
"It's ancient Shurima script!"
"To be precise, it's the Hailan Family's talisman," Illaoi revealed the secret of the bronze medal.
"Then let's return it to its rightful owner."
I took off the bronze medal, intending to give it to Illaoi, but she refused. Instead, she told me to give it to Yarlin, who also had the blood of Hylan flowing through his veins, and perhaps he would find it useful in the future.
When Illaoi left, Gangplank and the twelve priests all knelt to see her off, but she rebuked them. "You can worship the real sea goddess; I am merely her servant."
Sea God Poroka, was never with us. She left after Thresh retreated. Although Illaoi claims to serve Porco Rosso, I think their strengths are roughly equal.
