he came from the void

Fayette patted his arm: "Okay, I really can't say any more, we have to go back before dark. Although it's only a few steps away, don't be careless."

"Yeah." Kai'Sa and Kahn followed the proprietress into the boat, said goodbye to Sarah, and headed to the Island Tavern.

The proprietress rowed and moored the boat by herself, without asking them for any help.Walking onto the pier, the sturdy man named Gawyn was still there, joining them walking on the black sand.

He introduced himself to the two, saying that he was a regular customer of the tavern for many years.

Several people greeted each other while walking towards the tavern without stopping.

Kaisha seldom talks to strangers, she looks like a mute with a cold face, and Kahn always communicates with Fayette.

"Miss Boss, how much will it cost for the two of us to open a room?"

"No charge." Fayette said with a smile.

"What about the food?" Kahn asked again.

"Hot breakfast at sunrise, cool cold drinks at night, a safe place to store personal belongings, and the mooring service of the proprietress, all of which are free of charge." Gavin also replied with a smile.

"No money? Then what are you trying to open this store for?" Kaisha couldn't help but ask now, why are there still people who are so enthusiastic about losing money in business? It can't be a black-hearted shop that eats people, right?

"Because money is useless here, and you can't buy anything. Besides, anything you take from Shadow Isle is an antique, and you can sell it for a high price when you take it out. Money is actually useless."

There was an uncharacteristic lightness to Gawyn's voice, but Fayette just liked his tone, and she felt good about having a jovial company on this isolated island.

"Don't talk about me being so materialistic. In fact, I like to be hospitable and entertain others, just like girls playing house games when they were young. But I don't do it for fun, I just enjoy the feeling of getting along with living people, so I saw here Only a boatload of people can be so enthusiastic, this island is full of dead spirits, living alone for a long time will inevitably lead to loneliness."

Kai'Sa understood a little bit, as if she stayed underground for a long time, at that time she was very eager to return to the ground and get along with living people.But if you want her to be the proprietress, it's better to avoid it. She feels that dealing with people is not so comfortable.

She prefers to hold Kahn's hand and experience the vicissitudes of life with him.

In order to make himself appear more real, Fayette added: "Of course, I don't make no money from opening this tavern. It's like treasure hunters will store valuable treasures with me. Under normal circumstances, I will keep it Promise not to touch their things, but if it is confirmed that they are dead or missing for too long, their relics will become mine. This way of obtaining treasures is much less risky than going ashore for treasure hunting, I just need to stay in the tavern and do things That's fine, you don't have to risk fighting the undead. So I am the longest-lived one in this group, ten years, this is a time to be proud of."

Kaisha nodded. If she hadn't said that, she would have directly regarded Fayette as a black-hearted proprietress who made a living by killing customers.But even if she said it, Kai'Sa's vigilance would not disappear.

After staying in the hotel, she would bring food back to the room from time to time, and feed Fu Jia to see if she had given any medicine.

Walking through the spiral circular staircase, the four of them finally came to the door where there is no profit and no return.

There was warm candlelight in the doors and windows, and under the light of the bright moon, the broken flag tied to the bow mast was whipping in the howling cold wind.

It was the only sign that could identify the tavern from a distance—Fayette hadn't built a lighthouse to keep hungry ghosts from stalking the place in the dark.But because of this, it is not easy for treasure hunters to find this place.

However, Kahn was lucky, or deliberately, he successfully found this tavern.

And what he wanted was related to this tavern.

Chapter 295 The tavern guest

After entering the tavern, Fayette immediately closed the door with his backhand, as if this would keep the ghosts away.

But doing so can indeed isolate the gusts of the shadowy wind from the Shadow Island. The candlelight and temperature in the tavern are very comfortable, or in other words, in the dark and terrifying environment of the Shadow Island, it feels extremely safe, making people want to take a nap and sleep well when they come in one game.

"The first floor is the dining room and the bar, as you have seen. The second and third floors are housing, and the warehouse is in the basement."

As soon as they entered the door, the proprietress Fayette gave a warm introduction to the two. Even though this bistro was built in such a remote place, it still has all the necessary facilities.

Kahn looked around, and there were several tables and chairs neatly arranged on the dining table. The stairs leading to the second floor were set up on the right side of the entrance, and the stairs leading to the underground warehouse were behind the bar.It's just that there is no one in the dining room right now.

"Where's your luggage?" Fayette turned around and looked at them suspiciously.She said it felt weird, she would usually help newcomers with their luggage, but now she finally realized that it was strange that her hands were empty.

Kahn immediately reacted, put his arms around Kai'Sa's shoulder and patted it up and down and said, "Oh~ I forgot it on the boat, I'll get it tomorrow."

They didn't have the habit of carrying luggage at all, except for the small cloth bag with Zilean's manuscript.Their skin armor is a combination of weapons and protection, and can also provide them with nutrition, so there is really no need to bring other things.

However, there is still enough drama to be done, so Kahn said that he forgot his luggage on the Siren.

Kahn noticed that Kai'Sa was looking at him, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

It was his action just now that made Kaisha slightly purse her lips and smile, she knew this meant "I have you is enough".

"In this case, let Gai Wen take you to choose a room. There will be guests coming back later, so I have to cook."

"It's okay, you are busy."

"Follow me upstairs." Gavin took the initiative to walk up the stairs, leading the two to look at the room.

Kahn still has many doubts about this tavern. For example, just now when the proprietress said that he was going to cook, he was suddenly curious about how the food here came from.

As a void symbiont, wherever he goes, the first thing he cares about is food, and the environment is second. Void skin armor has a strong adaptability, as long as there is something to eat, he can live.

"How did the proprietress get the food for cooking? You can't hunt here, right?" Kahn asked. He felt that the only things that could move here were ghosts.

"It really can't, no matter fishing or hunting in this lifeless place, there will be nothing to gain. We leave here every year on the night of the soul eclipse, and the proprietress is no exception. She will close the shop and return to Bilgewater, adding One year's food will return. There are also some treasure hunters from other places in the store, and if you are familiar with it, the proprietress will also entrust them to bring more local products, so you don't have to worry about food."

"Oh." Kahn nodded: "By the way, why did you only see you in the entire tavern except the proprietress?"

"It's either that you haven't come back or you haven't gone out, so it's normal that you can't see it. There are very few entertainment activities here, and everyone is busy with their own things."

"What about you? Are you not busy?"

"Me? I just finished my work, and I came back early. The treasure hunters who come back the earliest every day are the most experienced. It takes a whole shift to return from the Shadow Isle. You may get lost after nightfall, and spend the whole night circling in the sea, becoming the target of the ghosts hunting. But if you leave the black sand beach of Shadow Isle early in the evening, you can return to the tavern before dark. The proprietress will tell you This, she will say this every time she meets someone new."

At the stairs on the second floor, Gavin stopped, turned his head and said to them: "Actually, the name No Earn No Return is misleading. Living here is earning, and it is wisest to stop in time."

"Thank you for your kind words."

"Do you want to live on the second or third floor?"

"Is there any difference?"

"No..." As soon as Galen finished speaking, there was a scratching sound from the ceiling on the second floor, like a pair of huge bird claws scratching on the wooden floor, which was extremely harsh and difficult.

"There are raptors in this tavern?" Kaisha imagined the scene of raptors being imprisoned in the room and flopping around.

"It's not a raptor, it's an annoying vastaya. He has bird legs, so he makes such a sound when he walks." Gawin explained with some embarrassment, after all, he was slapped in the face just now when he said there was no difference.

"Then we live on the third floor." Kahn naturally didn't want to have a bird jumping on his head every day, so he chose the third floor.

"That's fine, I also live on the third floor." Gavin led the two to the third floor again.

"I can't tell where your accent comes from."

"Is the accent heavy?" Kai'Sa shrank her neck, thinking that others were going to complain about them.

"No, almost no accent."

"We're from Shurima and lived in Bilgewater for a while."

"It's great, we finally have people from Shurima in our tavern. The residents here include people from Ionia, Noxus, and Piltover. They are all very interesting people."

"Won't the Ionians and the Noxians fight? They just finished fighting."

"It doesn't matter outside, but fighting is not allowed in the tavern. If you don't want to be kicked out by Fayette, follow her rules." Gawin shrugged, as if thinking of some neighborhood conflicts.

"Harmony makes money." Kahn asked with a smile, "What about you? Where are you from?"

"Demacia." For some reason, Gawin didn't look very happy when he mentioned his hometown.

Everyone has their own story, and Kahn won't get to the bottom of it. He just boasted according to the usual practice: "Demacia? That's a rich and good place."

"Yeah, if it wasn't forced by life, who would be willing to leave their hometown."

Coming to the third floor, Gavin introduced: "Now there are only vacant houses at the stairway and at the end of the corridor. The layout inside is the same. Which one do you choose?"

Kahn pushed open the door, the space inside was very small, and two single beds were forced into it, and the aisle between the beds could only allow one person to pass through.Not to mention the toilet, there is not even a table, and it feels a little more spacious than the sleeper compartment of the green leather train that I made before.

But he can understand, after all, this is the Shadow Isle, it would be nice to have a place to live, and he can't ask too much for other places.

He didn't make a choice right away, but approached the room at the end of the corridor.

"No matter which one you choose, I will live in the diagonally opposite door." Gavin smiled kindly.

There are six houses on each of the second and third floors, which are symmetrically distributed, and he lives in the middle one, and the two empty houses are diagonally opposite to him.

Kahn nodded, and just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly smelled a bloody smell.

Chapter 296 Treasure Hunter

The sudden bloodshed made Kahn pause, but in order not to let others notice his abnormality, he still opened the door in front of him.

in the room……

Clean and simple.

Nothing at all.

He turned around and realized that the smell of blood was coming from the room opposite.

Very rich, with a touch of magic.

"Who else lives on these three floors?" Kahn asked.

"The person next door to me is a rich man from Noxus, who seems to be named Vladimir. He rarely leaves the room, and occasionally sees him reading. The other two rooms are the bird leg and his sailors. .”

Hearing this name, Kahn's pupils shrank, but there was a sound of kicking the door next to him, and then a violent roar, which attracted the attention of several people.

"Don't call me bird leg in secret, I have a name, my name is Kosk!"

Gavin snapped back rudely: "Think about why everyone calls you that, and I'm not the only one who says that, the problem lies with you!"

There was another scratching sound on the floor. Gavin closed his throat and looked at the two with a smile: "I don't know much about the vastaya. I don't know if he has a problem with him or is born with it. It's the complete opposite of the quiet nobleman who makes noise.

Speaking of the birdman in Vastaya, a couple immediately flashed in Kahn's mind, and he sighed: "Maybe they are born with ADHD, especially males."

In order to courtship, male birds have evolved various skills, all of which are aimed at attracting the attention of females, and being active is one of them.

"I wonder why no one lives in these two rooms..." Kaisha pointed to the room of Kosk the birdman and said, "The sound insulation effect is not very good."

"Hahaha! There is a reason for this." Gavin laughed and said, "So have you decided which one to choose? Or should you consider the second floor?"

The smell of blood still lingered in his nostrils, and Kahn replied after a moment of thought: "Let's take this room at the end of the corridor. This room has windows."

The window is a glass window that cannot be opened, facing the direction of the main island, and Kahn needs to use him to monitor other people's movements.

The Shadow Isles are not just an island, but an archipelago.A strip of water from the small rocky island where the tavern is located is the main island of the Shadow Isle, and there is another lost ancient city near the sea above it.

Treasure hunters go to Hylia in search of lost relics.

"Okay, then you can look around, I'm going to help in the kitchen."

"Ah."

Watching Gawyn go downstairs, Kahn took Kaisa back to the room and closed the door.

Then he pushed Kaisha to sit down on the bed, and whispered with his mouth close to her ear.

"Do you smell blood?"

Kai'Sa nodded: "I can smell it, and it's accompanied by the breath of magic..."

The blood and magic made him sure that this man named Vladimir was definitely not a passerby with the same name.

"A powerful blood mage lives opposite our door." Kahn whispered, but kept his eyes on the door. "You should pay more attention to him, but don't show it at ordinary times. Our identities are just ordinary treasure hunters. That's fine, understand?"

"I understand." She asked Kahn to sit down on the other bed, and then leaned over and asked him, "What are we looking for here?"

"One bell, it can suppress the undead." Regarding Kai'Sa, Kahn didn't hide it: "But I don't know where it is, I only know that there are people here looking for it, we just follow them."

……

"time to eat!"

Fayette's roar came from the dining room, followed by the bang bang bang bang bang bang on the lid of the pot with a spoon.

Kai'Sa looked up from Kahn's arms and looked at him with a wry smile.

"The sound insulation effect is really shocking."

"A house built from the wreckage of a ship, that's all."

He put Kai'Sa off his lap first, then stood up on the bed, left the room and went downstairs.

Hey, I wanted to keep it warm at first.

The smell of the food wafted in the dining room, and the proprietress Fayette cooked a large pot of soup and put it on the table, and anyone who needed it could get it just by telling her.

"I heard that a big ship is coming. Are so many people here trying to empty out all the treasures?"

A man they didn't know walked over before them and showed them a demonstration. The proprietress took out one from the top of a stack of dishes, filled it with stewed meat, and handed it to him.The man picked up the plate: "Hey, there is still meat tonight. I thought the frozen meat was all gone."

"You can't shut your mouth if you have enough to eat." Fayette said angrily: "There are new guests today, and this is to celebrate their coming from afar."

"As for frozen meat, there isn't much left, but the year is coming to an end, and there will be enough to eat."
