He Comes From the Void

If Kassadin hadn't mentioned it, Keisha would have never imagined that the village they had lived in for ten years was in front of them.

Except for a few stone pillars that are as dark as night and twisted, there are only quicksand and gravel here, and there is not even a trace of settlement.

But Kassadin was impressed here.

When he found his wife and daughter in the ruins, he dug his hands bleeding for several days in a row, and finally collapsed completely, in a trance, with empty eyes and tears under the scorching sun.

If it wasn't for his companions rushing over to forcefully pull him away, there might be an extra loyal bone here now.

Kassadin led the two of them to the shade of a tree in the valley, where there stood two low tombs, which were the empty tombs of his beloved wife and daughter.

Seeing her own grave, Kesha felt strange at first, but was immediately overwhelmed by the sadness of losing her mother.

Kassadin pulled out Keisha's tombstone, then took out food that would never rot from his luggage and placed it in front of his wife's grave, and pulled Keisha to kneel down to worship.

The memories began to replay, and Kassadin was talking about his life to the spirit of his dead wife.

Looking at the tombstone that became lonely, Kassadin secretly vowed in his heart that he would come back to accompany his dead wife after the revenge was avenged and the child was settled.

Although he has no blood relationship with Kesha's family, Kane also felt uncomfortable watching this scene.

He felt that he had to do something, and he was the one who would take over Kesha from Kassadin in the future, so he should integrate into it.

Kane tried to cast a spell to revitalize the old tree next to it, but this time his spell was successful, and the old tree sprouted new branches to shade the tomb below.

Then he plucked a twig, placed it in front of the grave, and stepped back to kneel beside Kassadin.

There are no flowers, but branches instead.

Kassadin glanced at him silently, and then talked about the past again.

The memorial service went on for a long time, until Kassadin's legs were paralyzed, and he needed two people to support him even to stand up.

"I heard that in faraway Ionia, the soul of the dead will return to the Blooming Spirit Flower to bid farewell to the living relatives." Kassadin said with emotion.

"That's right." Kane nodded, but unfortunately they were not born in Ionia, and their souls would be taken away by Qian Jue at the moment of death.

If you die tragically in the void, even your soul will be annihilated.

Also, Noxus invaded Ionia in the year they fell to the ground, and the war polluted that pure land, and the spirit tree did not bloom for several years.

"It's a pity, I haven't learned the spell that can call back the soul, so I can let you meet your aunt again," Kane said.

"That's enough, let's go."

——

Following the water all the way west, the three of them came to Keharise.

"Sai" in Rai language refers to the plain of sand and gravel, which makes people walk slowly and painfully.

The river dried up here, and the dry heat of the desert drove Kassadin mad.

If Kane remembers correctly, this is the hometown of Xerath, the villain who single-handedly led to the downfall of the Shurima Dynasty.

Kane opened the empty water sac, released a most basic spell, and stored a few mouthfuls of pure water in the water sac.

Then he handed the water bag to Kassadin: "The water element in the air here is too thin, use these to quench your thirst first."

After Kassadin paid homage to his deceased wife, Kane discovered that he could cast spells. After thinking for a long time along the way, he realized that he had entered the area where the magic river flows, and he had the conditions for casting spells that were not available in Icacia. .

Ordinary humans cannot directly use wild magic power, they have to convert it into orderly magic power through meditation before they can use it freely.

Because the real meditation started not long ago, Kane hardly has much mana stored in his body, and he can only cast some low-level spells by himself, and the more advanced ones have to use the tears of the goddess.

Tattooing all over the body can increase the mana reserve, but Kane felt that it was too ugly and he resisted, and he didn't have the engraving materials.

"Thank you." Kassadin took the water bag and drank it down, watering his throat that was so hot that it was about to smoke.

The water condensed by magic is too clean and has no smell at all. Kassadin actually doesn't like it very much.

As a native of the desert, he has long been used to drinking muddy water mixed with gravel that would break his teeth if he drank it in his mouth, or drinking dirty well water like eating iron.

The three began to look for water sources, and they could only walk across the desert along the water sources.

They were walking in the desert under the scorching sun, and suddenly some black spots appeared on the unchanging horizon.

Kane looked into the distance and found that it was a group of giant beasts.

"Uncle, there are so many giant beasts ahead!"

"How full of giant beasts!" Hearing this word, Kassadin showed joy: "Where there are nomads, there are herdsmen. Where there are nomads, you can exchange supplies. Let's go! Let's go and see if we can give You two change clothes."

Kassadin got motivated, pulled the two of them and ran towards the giant beast team, while Kane Keisha followed easily behind, looked at each other and smiled, and let Kassadin do so.

Huge and slow, the Domans are protected by massive chitinous carapaces, evolved to survive the long-term drought and harsh environment of Shurima.

As a result, some Shuriman nomads choose to live on the backs of Domans, in a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit and mutual assistance.

Riders cleanse their bodies and drive away parasitic flies that approach, while domans use unknown senses to find hidden freshwater reserves.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for humans to catch up with the migrating Doman on foot.

But Kassadin was lucky, those teams just stopped to rest and exchange supplies with another nomad tribe, allowing them to catch up easily.

When they came to the back of a sand dune, the three of them were only a thousand meters away from the team of giant beasts. Kassadin stopped and turned to ask Kane.

"Kane has been able to take off the skin armor, right?"

"Yeah." Kane hid behind the sand dunes.

He couldn't get too close for the nomads to see him and Keisha just as they were.

"Then you stay here and don't move around. I'll buy you two sets of clothes first, and then you can change into them before you come out." Kassadin nodded, and then left alone.

"Wait, uncle!" Kane poked his head out and shouted, "Do you have any money for business?"

"Little brat, don't underestimate me." Kassadin raised his hand, and an object glistened in the sun.

It's a bracelet, which came from some ancient man in the tower.

Although I don't know if this thing can still be regarded as an antique after time stops, it is definitely no problem to change two clothes.

"Father, when did you move your hands?" Keisha shouted.

"Just as we were leaving."

Kassadin waved his hand and ran towards the team of giant beasts.
