He Comes From the Void

Wooden tables that once held scroll instruments are now covered with flowers and fruit.

Grape honeydew melon, the watery fruit filled the plate, the gold-plated wine glass was filled with the thousand-year-old mellow wine, and the marinated red meat reflected the attractive oil.

These are rare delicacies on weekdays, which arouse Kane's appetite from all aspects of color, fragrance and taste.

It is not the hunger of skin armor, but the desire of taste buds for delicious food.

It's been a long time since he had a normal meal.

Kane raised his glass and was about to clink glasses with Kassadin, but was stopped by Kesha.

"Didn't you say you won't eat? What will you do after eating?" Keisha asked.

Seeing Kassadin cast a puzzled look, Kane quickly winked at Kesha:

"Kesha, don't say that this spoils your interest. You should eat and drink. This is a delicacy thousands of years ago. Don't you want to try it at all? I'll clean it up later."

"Oh, then I want to drink too, Kane, leave some for me."

Since Kane will solve the problem of convenience, she doesn't mind anymore, and leaned over to sit beside Kane, waiting eagerly for him to drink the rest.

Kassadin thought they were talking about cleaning up the table after eating, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the two children are really sensible. But he thought it was weird to let Kesha drink from the glass Kane drank, so he took out another empty glass to serve Kesha with some wine.

Girls drink less, only half a glass.

Kane doesn't understand wine, and he can't drink it too much, but he can taste this unknown ancient wine with a low alcohol content and not too intoxicating, similar to drinking cider.

The owner of this tower is a mage, and it seems that mages don't like to let themselves get drunk and fall into a groggy state of mind.

He observed the reactions of other people after drinking the wine. Kassadin did not taste it carefully because it was a thousand-year-old wine. His eyes were always focused on Kesha, and he probably noticed it when he replaced the wine in the glass with water. not come out.

But Kesha held the wine in her mouth, puffed out one cheek, squeezed from one side to the other, and then back again, repeating the cycle many times, until the wine soaked the dusty taste buds, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Then I choked my throat and started coughing dryly.

Kassadin wanted to stand up, but seeing Kane reaching out to pat Kesha's back, he sat back down again.

"Drink slowly, no one will grab you."

Seeing that Kane looked at Kesha full of doting eyes, Kassadin faintly felt that something was wrong.

After drinking and eating, Kane took the initiative to take out the sheepskin scroll and ask Kassadin for advice.

"Uncle, I want you to take a look at this. We found this in a town in Icacia. I can't understand the text on it."

"Let me see." Kassadin took the scroll and unfolded it, surprised: "It's written in ancient Shurima."

"Do you understand?"

"It's okay, give me some time to think about it."

Kassadin was a desert guide, and there are many tombs in the Shurima Desert. In order to understand the reminders of the ancient tombs and survive better, he took the initiative to study ancient texts. And Shurima has ruled Icacia for more than a thousand years, and the writing has long been unified, so Kassadin can understand the scrolls of Icacia.

At this moment, Keisha grabbed Kane's arm, shook it vigorously and said, "I want to make it easier, you accompany me..."

She drank some wine later, and now she seems a little drunk, and she can't speak clearly, and she is very cute.

Kane helped Keisha stand up, and asked Kassadin: "Where is uncle usually convenient, tell me, I will take Keisha there."

Kassadin pointed to a place, and Kane took Keisha there.

Then Kassadin held the scroll and began to doubt—why do girls have to follow boys when they are convenient, aren't they ashamed? Is the relationship between the two already so close?

In fact, it is really impossible for Kane not to follow, otherwise Keisha will really pull her pants.

After the convenience, Kane and Keisha went back to the dinner table and sat down, and he asked how the reading of Kassadin's scroll was going.

Kassadin took a deep look at the two of them first, and when he saw that Kesha was more energetic, he answered:

"It is probably said that the mage of Icacia discovered the void exposed by the earthquake, and then contained it with a special flame, and asked Koali to escort it back to the ruling council."

Kaoali means Icathian dead man, and Kane knows this.

"So the void emerged from the ground? The Icathians have crossed a taboo that shouldn't be touched." He sighed, feeling sorry for the destruction of a country.

Kassadin has studied the history of Icathia, so he knows that a terrible battle took place here.

"To be precise, the Void does not exist in our world. Those things underground are just cannon fodder they created using existing materials. It was the Icacias who opened the passage between the two worlds that caused the Void to extend its tentacles into us. in the world."

Kane could not help correcting that the relationship between the void and Runeterra was actually much more complicated than it seemed, and those monsters were not as simple as living underground.

Kassadin froze for a moment, then nodded: "I didn't expect that you know a lot."

"Uncle, how much do you know about the special flame mentioned in the scroll?"

"What's wrong? You need it?"

"Well, it can be regarded as a backhand for myself. This skin has allowed us to live until now, but it comes from the void after all. It may be our turn when we are not full, so I want to get this flame. Check and balance possible backlash in the future.”

Fujia responded to Kane's words with a sting, and his facial features suddenly distorted, making Kassadin worried.

"What's the matter with you, child?"

"It's okay." Kane waved his hand and quickly returned to normal.

"This skin...will it hurt?"

"Occasionally, I'm used to it." Kane said with a smile.

Hearing this answer, Kassadin's eyes moved back and forth between Kane and Kesha, and finally heaved a long sigh. In order to ensure the future of his family, he must do his best.

"The scroll does not mention how to obtain or make this kind of flame, but there are many books in the tower. I don't know if there is any mention in it. If there is, I will be responsible for helping you find relevant information."

Kassadin's answer made Kane feel relieved. The owner of this tower is a high-ranking mage. It is normal for the materials of the eternal flame to be stored in the treasury, right?

In fact, Kane knew that he could get the eternal flame there, as long as he found the weapon master, he might be able to borrow it.

But if you can grasp this kind of thing by yourself, why do you go to others to ask for it? What if they don't give it to you?

"If it's possible, it will be faster for uncle to teach us how to read. When we learn, we can help you find it and reduce your burden." Kane also brought Kesha with him when he said this. Just a little bit better than being illiterate.

Those who want to venture out in the future, it is better to be able to read and write.

"Okay, let's start tomorrow, now is the time to celebrate."

Kassadin smiled gratifiedly, Kane is a self-motivated kid, which is really good.

Moreover, by teaching Kesha to read and write, she will not be afraid of being bored in the days to come, and finally have the opportunity to fulfill her responsibilities as a parent.

He became interested and gave Kane another glass of wine.

It was at this moment that Kane noticed a strange purple light emanating from the palm of his left hand.
