130. Chapter 129 Eye Replacement in Progress! Blade of the Underworld!
Due to the previous force impact, the hall was now in a mess.
It was in this battlefield covered with ice that Lissandra fell into deep silence.
"I can heal your eyes, but I want you to take me to the depths of the Howling Abyss."
Zuo Chi’s words still echoed in Lissandra’s ears, and at the same time, an inexplicable throbbing surged in her heart.
During the nearly ten thousand years that she was blinded, Lissandra gained the ability to walk in dreams as a blessing in disguise, but at the same time, she never truly saw a ray of light again.
And as the frozen tomb that sealed the void gradually melted away, Lissandra's dreams were almost completely filled with those terrifying existences.
The endless hatred from the Void Watcher is constantly eroding her dreams and thoughts.
Lissandra naturally wanted to restore it to its former state and see with her own eyes everything that happened in Freljord today, but all this was too difficult.
But now, Zuo Chi said these words with great confidence.
Combining the power that Zuo Chi had just displayed and listening to his confident tone, Lissandra felt that Zuo Chi might really have such ability.
However, the price proposed by Zuo Chi touched her reverse scale. Zuo Chi actually wanted to go to the Howling Abyss to observe the void cracks!
This is almost Lissandra's bottom line, and it is the thing she cannot accept being known by outsiders.
She couldn't tell whether Zuo Chi was a friend or an enemy, let alone whether Zuo Chi was on the side of the void.
"I can give you anything else you want, but you can't get close to the void rift!" Lissandra said in a deep voice as she slowly walked towards her throne.
Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "You have to understand that my real purpose is to go deep into the Howling Abyss. Helping you heal your eyes is just a side job. There is no room for negotiation."
"What on earth do you want!"
Lissandra shouted, and her breath began to run wildly out of control again.
She didn't like the feeling of being coerced by someone's weakness. At the same time, she was also worried that Zuo Chi was a craftsman sent by the Void, and wanted to take the opportunity to unlock the seal of the Void Crack.
Zuo Chi looked at Lissandra above him and said calmly, "I just want to know the current status of the void rift. If possible, I can even work with you to reinforce the seal again."
"I can't believe you."
Lissandra controlled her emotions and explained to Zuo Chi, "The significance of the void rift is very important. No suspicious person can get close to it, otherwise my ten thousand years of protection will be in vain."
"Do you think I'm from the void?" Zuo Chi smiled and tilted his head.
"Yeah." Lissandra nodded slowly.
"Your strength is growing too fast. This is totally out of character. I have only seen this in the void before."
"Forehead"
Hearing this, Zuo Chi couldn't help but understand why Lissandra was so wary of him.
Because back then, didn’t she and her two sisters experience an instant leap in strength after obtaining the power of the void? Zuo Chi’s situation was very similar to that time.
Zuo Chi did not argue with Lissandra anymore, but slowly raised his arms.
In an instant, rich ascension power began to gather in his hands, and his arms were transforming into blue-gold dream stars at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I was born in Shurima, the lost empire in the southernmost part of Runeterra. The power in my hands is called the Power of Ascension. This power is extremely powerful against void creatures. Once upon a time, the Shurima Empire used this power to seal the void rift in the southeast of the Shurima continent."
"Do you think that if I were a void creature, I would be qualified to obtain this power?"
This time, Lissandra didn't say anything. Her eyes were completely attracted by Zuo Chi's ascended body.
She had also heard that in the far south, there was also a land that was invaded by the Void, but Lissandra had never been there, let alone seen the powerful people there.
Now, looking at the power in Zuo Chi's hands, Lissandra's anxious heart calmed down unconsciously.
She looked at Zuo Chi, her tone obviously wavering: "Why are you willing to help me?"
"Because I want you to stop sending troops to the Avarosa and Winter's Claw tribes. Even if you don't want to exchange what you have, at least don't try to kill them anymore."
Zuo Chi whispered his purpose. He knew very well that Ashe and Sejuani should be slowly awakening their past memories, and they would know everything Lissandra had done.
But so what?
They didn't have the ability to do anything to Lissandra. Although Zuo Chi did, he couldn't take action against Lissandra at this point in time.
Just as Zuo Chi had learned before, although Lissandra had done unforgivable wrongs in the past, she had indeed been guarding the Howling Abyss for nearly ten thousand years.
Without her protection, the remaining void creatures like Vel'Koz would likely take advantage of the situation and release the sealed void prematurely.
So he couldn't kill her, and he couldn't let Lissandra kill Ashe and Sejuani.
After hearing Zuo Chi's words, Lissandra's tone changed: "They will eventually know everything that happened. If I let them live, everything I have worked so hard to maintain will be wasted!"
Lissandra also fears that her reputation and image will be destroyed by Ashe and Sejuani.
Zuo Chi seemed to have thought of everything long ago. He said slowly, "Ashe and Sejuani will not reveal any information about the war ten thousand years ago to the outside world. I can guarantee that."
After Zuo Chi dispelled all of Lissandra's concerns, Lissandra's already somewhat moved heart gradually became less tense.
If it could really be as Zuo Chi said, then she might really be able to accept it.
After all, what she wants now is nothing more than her own reputation and the protection of the void rift, both of which Zuo Chi can promise her, and Zuo Chi can also heal her eyes.
All she had to pay was to stop sending troops against Ashe and Sejuani, and to take Zuo Chi, the Void enemy, to observe the Void rift.
The True Ice that covered the hall turned into ice powder and gradually dissipated. At the same time, Lissandra turned around and whispered:
"When do we start?"
Zuo Chi said in a resounding voice: "Now!"
Braum remained in the hall with a confused look on his face, watching Zuo Chi follow Lissandra into the deepest part of the Frostguard Fortress.
From the beginning till now, Braum only saw Zuo Chi and Lissandra having a conflict as fast as the wind, but the conflict did not last too long, and the two began to say something that Braum could not understand at all.
Some secrets of the past, some cracks in the void, some healing of eyes, blah blah blah.
"Could it be that the history recorded in the book contains some other secrets?"
Shaking his head vigorously, Braum finally decided not to think about it, because he felt that these were not what he should care about. He only cared about whether his fellow Freljordians were living well and whether they needed his help.
Instead of taking time to care about these messy things, you might as well find a breeding partner for the cow back home.
On the other side, Zuo Chi followed Lissandra and gradually reached the deepest part of the Frostguard Fortress.
Along the way, Zuo Chi truly saw the power of this ancient castle that had stood for nearly ten thousand years.
There are countless weapons, armors, ancient books, forbidden spells, forging materials and other things sealed inside. At the same time, due to Lissandra's long-term reinforcement, Frostguard Fortress has truly become a natural barrier standing before the Howling Abyss.
Not long after, Zuo Chi and Lissandra came to a room. Judging from the layout of the room, this should be where Lissandra used to rest.
What attracted Zuo Chi's attention the most was undoubtedly the huge ice bed in the room that exuded a strong chill.
"Do you need to prepare anything?" Lissandra stopped in front of the room and turned around to ask.
Zuo Chi waved the Darkin Greatsword and Star Iron Long Knife in his hands: "Everything is ready."
Lissandra: “???”
"Have you ever treated someone's eyes before?"
For some reason, even with Lissandra having lived for more than 10,000 years, she felt a little nervous at this moment.
Because she didn't see any healing items in Zuo Chi's hand at all. Even the crudest healing ritual would use a knife and medicine, but Zuo Chi had nothing else in his hand except two terrifyingly long swords!
Zuo Chi looked at Lissandra with a solemn oath: "This craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. There will definitely be no problem with it!"
"Go lie down on that bed and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you should be able to see things."
"If you dare to do anything else, I will kill you at all costs!"
After saying the last sentence, the ice under Lissandra moved, carrying her slowly to the front of the huge ice bed.
Zuo Chi followed Lissandra into the room, stood in the center of the room, and looked at Lissandra in front of him with curiosity.
To be honest, in Freljord today, except for a few old gods, everyone who has ever seen Lissandra's true face should be dead. After all, nearly ten thousand years have passed.
For Zuo Chi, who has seen Lissandra's skin, he is still extremely curious about Lissandra's real appearance.
Lissandra didn't say anything more. The ice under her feet parted, revealing her white calves. She walked barefoot on the ground towards the ice bed in front.
Sitting on the edge of the ice bed, Lissandra stretched her hands towards the huge Ice Crown that covered half of her face.
Lissandra pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally lifted up both sides of the crown and took it off completely.
The moment the crown was taken off, the strands of white hair that were tied on Lissandra's forehead fell to both sides of her cheeks, and her pale and somewhat sickly face was completely presented in front of Zuo Chi.
I have to say that Lissandra's face is still very delicate, but that kind of cold and unapproachable look adds a bit of majesty to her.
If Ashe's beauty is the friendly beauty of a girl next door, then Lissandra should be the kind of beauty that is cold and domineering, which is very similar to Syndra.
Perhaps the only flaw is Lissandra's closed eyes and the slightly hideous scars on her eyelids.
Lissandra smoothed her long hair on both sides of her cheeks, then lay down on the ice bed and said in an emotionless tone:
"Go ahead, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, it can't be worse than this."
"If you do, I will take you to the depths of the Howling Abyss."
"Okay, I'll do my best." Zuo Chi nodded and walked to Lissandra's bed.
Looking down at Lissandra, who had her hands folded on her lower abdomen and an expression on her face without any fluctuations, Zuo Chi took a long breath and concentrated his attention completely.
Zuo Chi placed his hand gently in front of Lissandra's eyes, carefully feeling the situation.
And just when Zuo Chi opened Lissandra's eyelids, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Because in Lissandra's eye sockets, countless violent arcs of electricity were raging. Zuo Chi knew very well that this was Volibear's original divine power. These thunders were constantly eroding Lissandra's eyes, making it impossible for her to repair herself forever.
At the same time, Zuo Chi could also feel that these thunders should cause Lissandra to be in great pain all the time. After all, this power was located in her eye sockets.
"Have you been living like this for the past ten thousand years?" Zuo Chi couldn't help but ask softly.
Lissandra pursed her lips and said calmly: "I'm used to it. Do you have a solution?"
"Ah."
Zuo Chi held up Lissandra's eyelids with one hand and slowly covered them with the other hand. The power from the God of Thunder began to flow in his body, and endless arcs of electricity appeared in his hands.
As if attracted by something, the electric arc that had been raging in Lissandra's eyes for ten thousand years actually began to gather in his hands little by little, and quickly disappeared into Zuo Chi's hands.
