When League of Legends Comes to American Comics

Chapter 198 Caves
The red rock area borders the desert area, but the two adjacent terrains have very different landforms.

If the endless desert is like a swamp that makes people sink deeply, then the hard red rock is like a broad chest, which can give people a sense of dependability.

In particular, this naturally formed cave has provided countless times of help to several generations of people in several surrounding towns in recent decades.

Therefore, for the surrounding small town residents, this natural cave is more reliable than God. It is like a mother's belly, which can protect them from external harassment and intimidation, and enjoy peace and comfort with peace of mind.

In the first few years when this cave was first discovered, whenever the weather was extremely bad, the mayors of several nearby towns would call the townspeople to come to this cave. At first, they would only bring candles and simple food;

But after a few years, some people began to bring in newspapers, and others began to bring in carbon and flint, as well as some simple kitchen utensils, so that the big guys could feel warm in harsh natural conditions;
A few years later, some people began to move some sofas and simple beds here in advance, and even some people who paid attention to the sentiment of life would bring their own handicrafts to decorate the cave;
This situation has intensified, and in the past ten years, in many climates that are not extreme but can definitely be called harsh, most people in the town will come here with their families.

The meaning here, for them, has gradually shifted from a physical safe haven to a spiritual safe haven.

Here, they can escape the interference of the outside world for a short time, devote themselves to the current life, drink wine and roast meat with friends, lovers, and relatives, and talk about unrealistic ideals.

Perhaps poverty will ruthlessly destroy them for most of their lives, but in the cave, the spirit of joy in suffering engraved in their bones from generation to generation will allow them to temporarily escape this destruction.

It can be said that this seemingly barren cave is the best resort and amusement park in their minds.

In the innermost part of the cave, there is even an altar with an ordinary red stone on it. It is said that the person who first discovered this cave picked up the first stone from the door, and then this stone was taken away. Endowed with a certain 'divinity', it became a symbol.

In that more barbaric era, their ancestors could only seek short-term solace from illusory myths and stories, but this tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a spiritual knot connecting several surrounding towns.

At this moment, a group of people gathered in the cave, and the three leading elders were standing solemnly in front of the altar, with their hands clasped together on their chests, and they closed their eyes and began to pray to the red stone.

In other places, the residents from the three nearby small towns have already found their respective places with familiarity, and some are 'eager', and have already begun to find ways to light charcoal fires in empty places.

Luke is a young man from a small town to the south of the cave. He is sitting on a stone bench carved from nearby red rock by his grandfather when he was young. Looking at the warm atmosphere in front of him, he is a little lost in thought.

At that moment, a young girl about Luke's age appeared from behind him, reached out and patted his arm, and shouted, "Hey, Luke, are you alone?"

"Ah, Lisa." Luke came back to his senses, nodded and said, "My father went to New York, and my mother went to Chicago. I was planning to go to Chicago to help my mother, but when I came back to pack my things, Got this goddamn sandstorm."

"Does Chicago look good?" Lisa sat down next to Luke. The girl smelled of a mature perfume, most likely secretly taken out of her mother's makeup box.

The two of them are not from the same town, but their father has a very good relationship and always goes out to work together. Moreover, the relationship between the four nearby towns is also complicated to sort out. Your grandma may be his sister. , his uncle may be your uncle
Every year the big guy will stay here for a period of time, and after decades, this cave has not been able to produce many couples of young boys and girls who are in love, so the big guys always get along with some intimacy.

"Uh" Luke scratched his head, "It's okay, there are quite a lot of people."

"Hey, where do you go to see people?" Lisa shook her head, "I plan to go to a big city to work in two years, I will try to go to Los Angeles first, if it's not interesting, how about I go to Chicago to see you? "

"Okay, I should always be in Chicago." Luke replied honestly.

"Well, you will definitely be there, after all, who doesn't know honest Luke?" Lisa put her face in her hands, and looked sideways at Luke, "But I heard from adults that being too honest outside will Suffer."

"Ha ha."

Luke smiled again and didn't reply.

"Why didn't you speak?"

"Because I think I'm not honest, I'm stupid." Luke pointed to his head, "So I don't want to be smarter than others, I know I can't compare with them, if they want to take advantage of me, then take advantage Bar."

"Is that what you think?" Lisa frowned, a little resentful, "Is that so useless? Let them take advantage of you?"

"." Luke looked at Lisa who lost her temper for some reason, and was a little at a loss for a moment, then said honestly: "But I am stronger than the people in the city. If they use their brains to take advantage of me, I can Take it back with your fist."

"Push!"

Lisa suddenly laughed, and then suddenly put her face next to Luke's, and whispered: "So last year, Caesar's leg was broken, and it was you who made a fool of it, not what he said he fell while walking?"

"Ha ha."

Luke smiled honestly and scratched his head again, but soon, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"Did you see Caesar?" Luke asked.

"No, what are you doing looking at him as an idiot?" Lisa asked back.

"Did you see Uncle Sam, then?"

"Well, it seems not."

"Where's Aunt Lily?"

"Uh, no."

"That's what happened. They can't have something to do together. I've been here for a long time, and I didn't even see a single person from their town." Luke suddenly stood up and said to Lisa, "Wait here for me, I'll Go to the mayor and talk about the situation."

With that said, Luke ran towards the deepest part of the cave.

But Lisa hesitated a little, and followed Luke's figure to chase after him.
