He Comes From the Void

After hearing the historical changes in Zaun, Kai'Sa couldn't help but sigh. It never occurred to her that this emerging city was once a microcosm of an ancient empire, even though it is now irrelevant.

"There are footprints of ancient Shurima everywhere... Speaking of which, I haven't seen my father for a long time. Should we go back to Shurima?" Kai'Sa turned her head and looked at Karn.

Speaking of Shurima, Karn thought of those faces in the sun.

Kassadin, the father-in-law-to-be, doesn't know how he is doing, whether the blade of the underworld can still suppress the void stone; has Taliyah returned from the ice field, and how is he training the innate ability bestowed by the Weaver Mother; Did Si find a helper to open the dusty tomb of the emperor for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go back and have a look after a while."

"En." Hearing Kahn's affirmative answer, Kaisha leaned over and snuggled into his arms, and the sun outside the window gradually slanted.

...

The curtains blocked the sunlight and sight, Kaisha was lying in bed taking a nap, and Kahn was sitting aside meditating because he couldn't sleep.

After coming to Piltover, he was a little slack in practicing magic, which obviously didn't work. Once cultivation is abandoned, it will take more time to pick it up, and he must keep it up until it becomes an instinct.

The chime of the time-telling bell spread throughout the city from the direction of the Gate of the Sun, without waking Kai'Sa who was still used to it, but pushed Kahn back from the state of trance.

He rubbed his brows a little depressed, feeling annoyed that all his previous efforts had been wasted. But when she turned her head and looked at Kaisha's peaceful side face, her heart became as peaceful as water again.

Thinking back to the days when I used to take turns to watch the night and was awakened whenever there was a sign of trouble, it is much better now.

Looking up, Kahn suddenly noticed the hex crystal that Kaisha put on the bedside table. With a thought, he took it lightly without waking her up.

He held the crystal in his hand and played with it, the hardness was unexpectedly high, and it was not easy to crush it with his finger strength, which is enough to show that the craftsmanship level of the people in Piltover is not low.

Then he put the crystal in front of his right eye. Because of the existence of green impurities, the whole crystal is not very transparent. When he moved the crystal to his left eye, the difference became more obvious. The whole crystal was like a peeled citrus, the blue part was like the full orange flesh, full of magic power, and the green impurities that could not be absorbed were like Tangerine, tasteless to eat.

"This thing... can it be absorbed, or help meditation?"

Thinking of this, Kahn covered his hands with skin armor, and then held the crystal in his hands.

Unsurprisingly, the Void Skin Armor never rejects anyone who comes, as long as it is in the category of flesh and energy, there is nothing it cannot swallow. Then he tried meditation. After he settled down, the crystal released energy and drilled into the body along the arm.

It's just that when Kahn tried to feel these energies, the energy that he didn't have time to absorb was captured by the eternal fire, and most of it was burned away at once, which made no sense at all.

Putting down the crystal, Kahn gave a wry smile.

The Void Skin Armor and the Eternal Flame check and balance each other on the outside and inside, protecting him in all directions, but it also brought him a lot of restrictions. He can only pick up the leftovers to eat, so don't try to eat a fat man.

Step by step down to earth, there are no shortcuts.

Kahn looked at the crystal in his hand, and then at the hex counter on the table.

Since the crystal was brought back from the outside, the scale of the counter has not been zero, which will more or less affect the measurement of the energy surge.

After Kasha woke up from a nap, Kahn told her about his doubts, and explained his intention to give the crystal away, and that he could no longer stay in the house.

"It's okay to give it away, but who do you want to give it to? Just take it back and give it to Professor Heimerdinger." Kaisha hugged the pillow and thought about it.

"We are fairly familiar in Piltover, except for Orianna, Ike is the only one left." Kahn said, asking her to choose between the two.

"Ike should need this artificial crystal more than Orianna. He can't afford the crystal, and many ideas can't be turned into reality."

"Then give it to Ike, just to see how Mundo is getting along with them."

"Wait for me to prepare." Kaisha lifted the quilt and walked into the bathroom with her legs between her legs.

...

An hour later, the two came to the trench area in a screech.

Ike's family lives in the middle of Zaun, but he is definitely not at home during the day, and he can only be found in the trench area.

His parents worked in a factory in Fangmu District, and they had to work late every day to pay for his tuition in Piltover. Ike has no family to accompany him, and he doesn't go to school. He can't stay at home alone, so he can only go out to find something to do.

His parents didn't send him to child labor, they thought it would destroy the child's health. Ike tried to use his time to go to the company's garbage disposal site to pick up discarded parts, turn waste products into useful inventions, and try to exchange them for money to help other gutter orphans.

No doubt a good-natured boy, but he also carried Zaun's own rebelliousness.

This time, Kahn found him on a clock tower called "Old Hungry Ghost", where he was hanging from the waist of the clock tower.

It turned out that this day was Ike's birthday. To celebrate his birthday, his little friend took Ike to challenge to climb the tower without any protection. It was really desperate.

Kahn and Kaisha watched from below as they climbed to the top of the tower without any risk. Some of the hurdles were far apart and needed to jump over the side walls. It was extremely thrilling, and Kahn almost shot several times. up.

When Ike came down, Kahn gave him the Hex crystal as a birthday present.

"How do you know that today is my birthday?" Ike was so excited when he saw the coveted Hex crystal, he wiped his hands on his pants, and carefully reached out to pick up the crystal, as if the thing in his hand was extremely sacred.

"This is the best birthday present I've ever received!" He stared at the beautiful crystal with wide eyes, tears welled up in the corner of his eyes in the blink of an eye.

Kahn didn't cry when he saw many bloodstains on his palm from the rusty bricks, but cried because he received a man-made crystal that had been changed hands several times, and silently lamented Ike's tenacity.

"It's nothing, as long as you like it." Kahn didn't say that he did it by chance, but this coincidence made Ike deeply remember it, and it was more heart-warming for him than any previous benefits.

The topic naturally went over to Mondo. Kahn saw that Mondo didn't come, so he asked, "Ike, didn't you invite Mondo to participate in your birthday?"

"Mundo can't run around in the street. We don't plan to go to the garbage dump today. We'll buy candy for him when we're done playing." Speaking of Mundo, Ike didn't show any disgust, which shows that they got along well.

"A while ago, I heard that you were going to build a secret base. How is it going?" Kai'Sa asked.

"Mundo's house is set up, and he lives in it, and other areas have to be developed slowly. Let's go, I will show you to see!"

"Then you don't need to buy candy?"

"This..." Ike fell into a dilemma, but fortunately at this time his little follower volunteered to jump out.

A girl said in an immature and slightly hoarse voice: "Leave the business of buying candy to me. Brother Ike will entertain the guests."

Ike looked at her and thought for a while: "Anna, you are not old enough, let the older children do this kind of errands."

The little girl Anna immediately pulled down her ashen face, and said pitifully: "I have climbed up the old hungry ghost just now, which is enough to prove my ability. Brother Ike, let me go, I won't Stealing..."

"I'm not afraid of you stealing, I'm worried about you."

Ike smiled helplessly, first looked around the crowd, noticed a pair of eager eyes, then reached out and rubbed the little girl's hair, and said softly: "Then let Ayuna go with you, the two of you Together we can take care of each other, so I can rest assured."

"Okay!" The two little guys said in unison.
