LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 46 The Beginning of the Fall
Fast forward a few weeks, the Far Eastern continent of Runeterra.

The sea breeze is fishy, ​​and the sky is almost gloomy.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Kalista took back the diary entrusted to her by Isolde, and looked at the capital of Kamavia in the sky, the pier of Alovedra.

Captain Vinix walked from the deck to Kalista's side. Dozens of metal earrings were worn on the fluffy round ears, and they collided with the undulating movements of walking, making a tinkling sound.

She is a vastaya in the form of an otter who has captained the great seas for centuries.

The Sword Eagle is the fastest large ship Kamavia can sail on the ocean, so it is natural to appoint an experienced captain.

Winix put his hands flat on his brows, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, "I didn't see the black mourning flag, and I didn't hear the death knell, good omen."

According to Kamavia's custom, when a member of the royal family dies, the black mourning flag must fly in the palace for at least one year and one day, and the death knell is rung every day to commemorate the souls of the deceased who returned to the Hall of the Ancestors.

However, what Vinix said didn't make Kalista feel half hopeful.

It was midsummer when the Sword Eagle left Kamavia, but now that it is returning, the days are short and the nights are long.

Although there is an artifact to hang her life, Queen Isolde was already dying when Kalista went to sea.

It's not that Callista doesn't believe in miracles, it's just that Josh Russell's "prophecy" haunts her like a nightmare.

Queen Isolde is dead, it's just that Viego can't accept it...

Winix noticed Callista's dejection, and patted Callista's shoulder twice with her big hand painted with bright pink nail polish, and laughed:

"Hey, let's at least have some hope..."

Callista didn't speak, and forced an unnatural smile at Vinix.

Waiting for her to disembark from the pier and part with Vinix, Kalista saw the current situation of Kamavia, and the faint hope in her heart completely collapsed.

Ordinary people lived in the open, barely clothed, under awnings made of worn and dirty blankets, rotting sails and logs.

The children and beggars on the road were crying and begging. Seeing Kalista and her party returning, the men and women hiding in the dilapidated huts looked around one after another. There was no panic or tension on their faces, only dull numbness.

"Forerunners!" The horror in Kalista's heart had already surfaced on her face, and she couldn't help muttering: "Voyego, what did you do?!"

Turning from the dock area to the exit of King’s Avenue, the main road leading to the palace in Alovedra, all the shops in the bustling streets of the past are closed, and the doors are sealed with wood and iron nails. All the streets are full of filthy taverns. business.

The guards on the outskirts of the capital are heavily guarded, and temporary checkpoints have been set up with carts and wooden barrels. If you want to leave from the pier, you must undergo strict interrogation.

Most of the people guarding the exit were Kamavia's common soldiers, that is, the army led by Kalista.

Kalista, who was already in a depressed mood, went directly into the long and narrow line and squeezed towards the exit of Dock Street. Although the people who were pushed and shoved were dissatisfied, the sharp-eyed people saw Kalista's dress at a glance, and hurriedly pulled A companion who lives next to him and wants to yell at him.

But even so, Kalista, who only wanted to return to the palace, still caused some commotion.

"Damn it! You bastards!"

A soldier dressed like a knight knocked down a skinny old man beside him with a punch.

"You are the moths that bite Kamavia! His Majesty the King and the grandmasters of the Knights show mercy and allow you to enter Alovedra for refuge. Is this how you repay them?!"

While cursing, the soldiers of the Knights continued to punch and kick the old man who fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the common clan next to them couldn't bear it, but they were soldiers, but their status was not as good as that of the Knights, and they were powerless to stop them.

Kalista's eyes turned cold, and while the soldier was moving, she rushed forward immediately, grabbing the gap in the armor on the back of his neck.

"Boldly—"

The soldier turned his head and stared angrily. When he recognized the person who grabbed him, his temper immediately flowed away like a flood from a floodgate.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness Kalista!" He lowered his head and bowed to apologize.

Kalista frowned and looked at the old man on the ground who couldn't even howl, but could only hum softly, and ordered the common soldiers around him: "Send him to be treated."

The knight soldier who knocked down the old man looked anxious, "But..."

Callista's tone turned cold: "Do you have any objections?"

The soldier lowered his eyes again and bowed his body, "Don't dare..."

"Hmph, are you a subordinate of Grandmaster Theodona? If this happens again, your official position will be lost!"

After warning the soldiers of the Knights, Kalista returned to the center of her common people and recognized a sergeant she had appointed.

"Sergeant Vivas, what is going on? Why is the dock blocked?"

"It is His Majesty's order."

"Where's the queen? Is she still alive?"

"I think so, General." Vivas replied hesitantly, "Now the whole city is under martial law and it is very uneasy. May I escort you back to the palace?"

Kalista nodded in agreement, and the sergeant immediately ordered 11 other common people to form a small team with a standard number of people to escort the general to the palace.

Kalista originally thought that the scene on Dock Street was dilapidated enough, but the scene inside the city was even more shocking.

Houses that were smashed, looted, and burned abound. However, the doors and windows of all the shops and houses on the street are closed, and the streets and alleys are littered with rubbish and discarded sundries.

Groups of menacing crowd with sticks and knives saw the patrol and immediately slipped away, not daring to stay longer.

How long have I been away, Kamavia...how did it become like this?

Callista was grieving in her heart, subconsciously clenched her slightly trembling fists.

"Has an enemy country invaded the capital?" She asked tremblingly.

"No, General, this is a riot in the city." Vivas hesitated, "Since the granary was ordered to be closed."

Kalista clenched her lower lip, her face gloomy, "Did Grandmaster Hecarim order it?"

No one spoke anymore, only the sound of footsteps and staggered breathing remained.

The already dignified atmosphere once again fell into dead silence.

When Kalista returned to the main gate of the palace, a filthy execution platform was erected in front of the gate. The blood from the beheading could no longer be washed away, and the ferocious heads were lined up, bitten by mosquitoes and crows. People care.

Entering the palace, Kalista still did not dismiss the soldiers, and walked straight through the palace, completely ignoring the chatter of the maids and attendants.

Arriving at the audience hall where the Shimmering Silver Throne is located, Kalista ordered the generals to wait here, holding a spear, and pushed the door to enter alone.

It was empty, not even the guards were to be seen.

wrong……

Kalista's eyes suddenly turned to the shadow on the left side of the throne, and a familiar crooked figure emerged from the darkness.

That was the Counselor of the Shimmering Silver Throne—Nunio Nechrit.

Compared to the few months before Callista went to sea, Nekrit seemed to be more than ten years older.

"Your Highness."

Callista lowered her guard, "Where's Foego?"

Nekrit sighed, "If you want to find His Majesty the King... He hasn't left the palace since you left."

Empty the treasury, overdraw the national power, and lock yourself and Isolde's body together...

In a daze, Josh's words echoed in Callista's ears.

Next, will I persuade Viego, then be imprisoned by him, and finally be bewitched by Hecarim, and go to Blessed Isle?

"Your Highness...Your Highness?"

Nekrit's cry brought Kalista's thoughts back to reality.

He rubbed his face and sighed, "I think... you'd better go and see His Majesty the King and the Queen."

Let's talk about the update issue, so I won't issue a single chapter.

If you recommend 20 words for the new book issue, after eating all the recommendations, you can just put it on the shelves at [-] words. In fact, I have a lot of words in the two chapters of the daily update. .On average, it's about [-] per day. .

If the new issue has a lot of words, the first order will be very weak after it goes on the shelves. Most of the authors know this. Some authors are new issue cards with 3000 words per chapter, but I have basically never cut each chapter. The number of words, sometimes a chapter is more than [-] words, I just didn't split the chapters. .

Now the alliance background text is really not hot at all, only e-sports is popular, and the whole starting point is the two old authors Tam and Ye Yinxiao.
Compared with the same period, several popular topics have been read more than 1000 times. My book is only a few hundred now, and I may not be able to advance. .

The current recommendation mechanism is like this. It is really important to follow up on the new book period. If you have too many books, it is really easy to explode (*)
I beg you all to read more!
