He Comes From the Void

Kahn and the others traveled along the canal to the imperial capital in a transport ship. They had to disembark at the port, because the transport vehicle only went here, and it was going to enter the sea a little further.

The Immortal Bastion loomed before their eyes, dark and menacing.

In the shadow of the Immortal Bastion, the harbor is thronged with people. Merchants, hawkers, and dock workers were bustling with each other, and the crew went up and down, forming an uninterrupted flow of people. Commodities from all over the world gather here, and goods are unloaded from trading ships in batches for distribution and circulation.

The prosperity of the imperial capital was worthy of its name, but Kahn had to consider the consequences of the large number of people. The spies or intelligence personnel they could not see might be hiding among the crowd.

He has always disliked coming here, not only because of the ghastly sense of oppression here, but also because the Immortal Fortress is the lair of the Black Rose, a battlefield of partisan struggle, full of eyeliners and conspiracies everywhere, and he hates being involved in it .

After disembarking, Kahn made clear his goal and looked for a ship willing to take them in the port.

"Ka'Sa, let's not stay here too long, find a ship to Shurima and leave immediately. Before the night is too long," he said.

"It's a pity, I still want to go to the city to take a look." Kai'Sa glanced in the direction of the Immortal Fortress, she was a little curious about the three huge monoliths shining with dark energy in the center of the capital city.

It looks like a monument, but what kind of person needs to be commemorated with such a large monument?

Kahn glanced in the direction she was looking at, curled his lips: "There's nothing to see."

They mingled with the crowd, and Karn asked around the port and found a ship willing to take them to Shurima, but it didn't leave until tomorrow.

In any case, they had to spend the night in the city first.

It is an awe-inspiring sight to weave through the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, to be carried forward by the turbulent crowd, surrounded by many people speaking many languages.

When walking towards the city, Kaisha hugged her arms to Kahn who kept pulling his face to look around and said: "Sometimes, things tend to develop in the direction that people least expect."

"Murphy's Law."

"what is that?"

"If you're worried about something happening, it's more likely to happen," Kahn explained.

Kaisha nodded half-understood, and then she noticed Kahn looking at him: "It's not that you want to go, so we have to go."

"What does this have to do with me!" Kai'Sa felt unreasonable.

"It's your problem."

She still wanted to argue, but she had already arrived at the gate of the city with the crowd and was about to pass through the customs. If you don't want to attract the attention of the city guards, it's better to be quiet.

This is just one of the many gates of the Immortal Fortress, but its majesty and grandeur are not inferior to any main city.

Guarding the city gate were two elite soldiers in black iron plate armor. They held their axes and halberds tightly and stood at attention. The dark red cloak danced wildly on his shoulders, and under the spiked helmet was a ferocious gaze like a beast.

Kai'Sa noticed three notches on their breastplates. These were no ordinary guards.

"It's from the Trifari Legion." Kahn reminded him in a low voice, and at the same time put on a calm expression.

In a country where murderers are everywhere, the Legion of Trifari is the name most feared by people, friend or foe. It is said that as long as they appear, city-states and countries would rather bow their knees and surrender than challenge them on the battlefield.

This reflects the individual strength of each member of this legion from the side, and the overall strength is so strong that the enemy is desperate.

Passing through the customs was very smooth, as long as it was not a large caravan or suspicious person, the gatekeepers generally would not stop it for careful inspection. But even so, their conspicuous hair color still attracted some curious eyes, and the soldiers seemed to glance at him.

After passing through the dark arcade under the city gate, the huge monument in the center of the city can be seen more clearly, as if towering into the sky, its shadow casts over the entire city, full of eerie oppression.

Buildings made of stone, steel, and glass stood on both sides of the street, and Kahn didn't know where to go for a while. The flat roofs of every household are built with crenels, which look like blockhouses, without obvious functional distinctions, so it is difficult to see which are residential houses and which are shops.

The streets and alleys between the buildings are narrow and twisted, and the original intention of the design is to put the enemies who break through the outer city wall at a disadvantage. At this time, Kahn also fell into a disadvantage. He couldn't tell which street led to the market and which street led to the square.

They followed the other travelers, found the hotel and stayed there.

After closing the door and putting himself in a closed space, Kahn obviously relaxed a lot. He looked at the disheveled Kai'Sa, and frowned, thinking that it was a big mistake to continue to make the pearl dusty like this.

"It's time for you to take a shower and wipe off the ashes on your face. As for the clothes to change..." Kahn hesitated to speak, looking at the clothes he was wearing on Kaisha, which were deliberately tattered by her, He could only shake his head and said, "It's better to lose it."

"Wouldn't it be nice to go out and buy a suit to compensate you later?" Kaisha didn't care too much, she knew very well that Kahn was not that kind of stingy person.

"Buying clothes is an excuse, you want to go shopping, right?"

"Yeah, I'm here, so why don't you take a stroll." She said, "Okay, if you want me to take a bath, then go get me a basin of hot water."

"Yes, yes." Kahn rolled his eyes and left the room, walking towards the bathroom.

Noxus is not Piltover. In the context of this medieval style, it is impossible to expect a roadside inn to have an independent bathroom except in the deep mansions of the dignitaries. A bathtub is good, but the truth is There is a steam bath here, which is shared by men and women.

Kaisha has been with Kahn for so long, and many of her ideas are similar to his. She attaches great importance to the privacy of men and women, and she will never come to this kind of place to take a bath, so she sent Kahn to get a basin of hot water and go back to wipe her body with a towel.

In Noxus, however, this aspect seems to be more open, and it is common for strange men and women to share a bathroom.

This leads to the concept of equality between men and women. It exists for its own reasons. Otherwise, for a country that can only be maintained by continuous military expansion, the huge management cost of the difference between men and women alone is enough to make Noxus think The proud army collapsed.

As soon as Kahn entered the bathhouse, he heard the loud voices of women chatting. There seemed to be two female silhouettes in the hazy steam. Kahn did not shy away from Kahn who had just entered. Of course, there are also men in the bathroom, but everyone washes separately, and no one does anything out of the ordinary.

He walked past them quietly, ignoring their curious eyes, scooped some water from the boiling boiler into the tub, and left with a towel.
