he came from the void

The man turned around with the plate, his eyes lit up when he saw Kahn standing at the stairs, he put the plate on a random table and came over to say hello.

"Newcomer? How are you? I'm Vakul, Mrs. Piltover."

"I'm Karn, she's Kai'Sa. May the gears turn forever."

Vakul, who was wearing an expensive velvet vest, nodded: "Let's go eat first, stew is not something you have every day."

Kahn frowned slightly and walked past him to dinner.

What he said just now was used by Picheng people to greet, but the other party did not respond, which is not in line with the habits of Picheng people.

Unless he's being unreasonable.

Kahn also ordered two servings of stew in the past. Although they could not eat, it is better not to behave beyond ordinary people in order not to make people see abnormalities.

There is no menu for you to order. What you eat depends entirely on what you have and the mood of the proprietress.But there is one thing that is not available elsewhere, the dinner here will provide iced drinks.

The two chose an unoccupied table and sat down. Gavin walked over after just a few bites.

"Can I join you at a table?"

"Please feel free." Kahn couldn't refuse, and it happened that he still had a lot of things he wanted to ask him.

"Is this Vakul also a treasure hunter?"

"I'm not too sure. This dude from Piltover seems to be here to play. I seldom see him go to the island to find treasures, but he is very keen to ask about other people's achievements."

While talking, Kosk went downstairs, and with his human sailors, they occupied a table.

The bird-legged vastaya wore a captain's hat with a bright feather in it, and quivered with his step.

"It's rare to see vastaya people come out to ask for a living. Before I met Kosk, I thought that vastaya people lived in one place and didn't run around very much. But he, like you, is the first time here Treasure hunters here," Gawyn said.

"A rookie like us?"

"Haha." Gawin laughed at Kahn's pun, and Kosk really looked like a rookie.

Others didn't seem keen to eat and didn't order right away.So there were only a few people in the dining room, and they saw new faces only after Kahn was almost done eating.

Chapter 297 Travel Rules (Leader Sweetheart Elf c Yue plus update 10/12)

A total of four new faces came in from the door.

A woman walked in the forefront, her gray hair plastered to her forehead with sweat, her expression displeased.

"This is Ms. Saba, a priest from Ionia, and the last three are her apprentices, who are responsible for their efforts." Gawin whispered, as if he was afraid that his comments would be heard by Saba, even though he didn't say anything Bad words.

Kahn didn't speak, and Saba didn't seem to have much appetite, so she asked the apprentices to sit down and eat while she walked towards the stairs.

"Bad luck?" Fayette asked.

"Basically nothing, they are all things that don't need to be stored in the secret vault." Saba shook her head.There was a hint of majesty in the shrill voice, it was obvious that he was used to being a clergyman with a superior status, and he didn't know why he came to such a dangerous place.

"You are the most diligent person here, and you can't always leave empty-handed."

Saba waved her hand and went upstairs.

After the two of them finished their meal, they went upstairs and returned to their room after telling Gawin.

The room opposite the door still had a faint smell of blood, which only the skin armor could feel.The birdman next door didn't know what he was doing. He would move around and make scratching noises from time to time. The people living downstairs would only hear it louder. Even Kahn, who just moved in, thought he should get a pair of shoes to wear.

They sit back to back on the bed, and the wall has ears, and leaning against the wall will make them feel that there is no secret in speaking.

They didn't move the other bed, which was reserved for Sarah. Seeing how crowded the tavern looked, if Sarah didn't want to share a room with strangers, she had to live in their room.

"Kasha, what do you think of this tavern?" Kahn tilted his head back and leaned on Kaisha's shoulder, and she leaned forward as well.

"There are many places that are quite strange, but I can't tell what is strange." Kai'Sa whispered.

"Like?"

"Gawen, when he mentioned his hometown, he looked very helpless."

"Remember... why did I tell Taliyah to avoid Demacia when I sent her to the Freljord?"

"It seems that that country hates mages?"

"It's not just hatred, it's already written into the law. In Demacia, it's good to be an ordinary person, but if magic is discovered, the treatment will change completely."

"You say Gavin is a mage? He was rejected by his own country, that's why he behaves like that."

"Maybe that's what you said. Some people in this tavern are full of evil spirits, we have to keep an eye on them, especially the Noxus." As he said, Kahn turned his head to the opposite door of his room.

"The Noxus didn't show up today." When she came in, Kai'Sa saw that the door of the opposite room was locked tightly. Even now, she still didn't open the door to go downstairs for dinner.

"By the way, if we want to find the bell, we have to follow the Ionian priestess."

When the words were here, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Kahn got out of bed to open the door and found that it was the proprietress Fayette.

"Come in," he said.

"No, I'll leave after I say a few things." Fayette put his prosthetic leg behind his back and said with a straight face: "I don't care about other people's taverns, but here I am not allowed to go out after dark. I have seen Many times, people have gone out at night and never come back."

"Are there any undead haunting at night?" Kai'Sa asked

"The undead seldom come here out of the black mist, but the influence of the curse has always been there. I think it might be a hallucination that hooked them away, anyway, just don't go out at night."

"The second thing is similar to what I just said. If you come back from the treasure hunt in Shadow Island, it's best to set sail before evening. If it doesn't work, you can leave the spoils on the beach and pick them up the next day. As long as you can go ashore before nightfall , you can sit back and relax. Many newcomers are disobedient and take things away forcibly and delay the time to come back. They get lost in the sea and are hunted by wraiths, and the things are finally picked up by other treasure hunters. Empty end."

Although Fayette is very helpful, but the kind of people who want to die are not worth her effort to help.

"Understood." Kahn nodded solemnly, but felt very relaxed.Although I haven't actually fought it yet, but with skin armor, I shouldn't be afraid of the undead.

"And then, if you encounter a powerful undead, you must make sure to shake it off before returning to the tavern. You can't let other innocent people be buried with you because of your cowardice."

She moved on to the next point as soon as she finished speaking, because nothing like this had happened yet.If they encountered powerful undead, those people would have been killed before they had time to run to the beach.

"If you find something that is inconvenient to carry, you can store it in the secret vault. It is very safe there, and I can guarantee that the things you put in it will still be there next year. Remember what I told you about the cornerstone of the store? It’s this thing. A black steel vault, my ship ran aground when it collided with this thing. Then I dug it out and built it on it without earning any return.”

"Is the basement the secret vault?"

Fayette nodded: "But not everything can be put in, only those that are very valuable and cannot be touched by others, or evil holy objects that have been enchanted. Don't worry about things being stolen, The secret vault itself is a sacred object, and ghosts cannot invade it. Anyone who tries to pick the lock or use magic to open the door will die suddenly. There is only one key to open it. Of course, I will not tell you where the key is. If you want to use it The secret library has to find me first."

"Finally, Soul Eclipse Night is coming in less than a month, I hope you can find what you want before then and return safely."

Fayette closed the door and left after saying this. Kahn didn't even have time to say thank you.

He and Kai'Sa looked at each other, and the latter said, "I suddenly want to see what the secret library looks like."

"Then we need to find valuable treasures. Let's go for a walk in Shadow Island tomorrow morning."

Kaisha burst out laughing, Kahn didn't take the ghosts seriously.

She pulled the quilt out from under her body, then covered her shoulders, and then lay down on Kahn's chest.Under the covers, she put a finger to her lips and hissed, "Early to bed and early to rise."

……

The first night of staying in without earning or returning passed safely. After nightfall, even the vastaya next door became quiet, and occasionally ghost screams could be heard from the direction of Shadow Island.

Early the next morning, Kaisha woke Karn up and told him to look out the window.

As soon as it was dawn, Priestess Saba took three apprentices aboard their Ionian sailboat and headed towards the ruins of Hylia.

Chapter 298 Black Sand Beach

"We have to keep up with them."

Kahn hugged Kaisha and got out of bed immediately. In order to deal with emergencies, they all slept with their clothes on. If they dressed up, they would just comb their hair while getting up.

The two went downstairs and went straight out of the tavern, and ran to the black sand beach. The Ionian sailing ship had disappeared on the sea, and the Siren hadn't sent any ships over yet.

They missed an opportunity to follow up.

"I didn't tell Sarah in advance about the meeting time, so I can only wait until tomorrow morning." Kahn said regretfully, there was nothing he could do about it. I didn't know that the Ionians would go to the Shadow Island to dig treasures in the rush to check in yesterday. .

"Come back and have breakfast first? It's all ready."

The proprietress called the two back at the door, and the two enjoyed a warm breakfast absent-mindedly until Sarah pushed the door open.

"coming?"

"Hmm." Sarah glanced at the other people in the dining room, then greeted the boss, and sat at Kahn's table.

"Did something happen last night?" Kahn asked.

The Siren is hidden in the reef and cannot be seen on the island.

"Nothing happened last night, not even a wave. This ghost place is lifeless, making people uncomfortable."

As the anchor moved a few times, she stayed on the rear deck for half the night, thinking that a water ghost climbed up along the anchor, but nothing happened.

Sarah glanced at the breakfast on the plate, and looked away in disgust. The things on the Siren were much fresher.

"Tonight, I will stay in the tavern, is there any room?"

"You share a room with us," Kai'Sa said.

Sarah curled her lips, she was about to show her affection again.But in fact, it's okay, as long as you don't torment people at night.

"Are you going to the Shadow Island to hunt for treasure?" the proprietress Fayette asked, wiping the plate.

"Are you talking about us?" Kahn asked.

"Correct."

"Go back to the boat and get ready." Kahn remembered yesterday's luggage problem. He had to at least take some weapons and put them on his body to pretend.

"That's right, it's better not to go there with bare hands... But I think you may need this." The proprietress put down the plate and went to the basement to bring a lantern.

A lantern is a container, and instead of a candle, it is filled with golden fat, like frozen golden water.

"Are we walking at night? Why do we need to carry the lamp." Sarah leaned closer and keenly smelled the fishy smell of sea animal internal organs from the lamp oil, but it was processed and it was already very faint.

"The important thing is not the lantern, but the lamp oil." Fayette said: "This lamp oil is added with the magic essence extracted from the green sac of the Zoar fish. After being lit, it can isolate the black mist. But the light in the dark will attract the attention of the undead. , there are advantages and disadvantages to using it. If you are an ordinary person, I still recommend you to bring it, because the black mist alone can kill people."

"Mother Hu, I'm here! The green sac of Zhuo'er fish, this thing must be outrageously expensive."

"Indeed, but no matter how expensive it is, life is not as valuable. This thing will not be given to you for nothing, but my request is not high. I can just exchange a box of fruit. I feel that there is something wrong with my body if I haven't eaten fruit for a long time. You guys on board There should be, right?"

Sarah still had doubts about the kindness of the proprietress, and was trying to figure out her intentions, but here Kahn agreed.

"We change."

Kahn got up and left the tavern, came to the pier and went back to the Siren on the boat that Sarah came in.

On board the boat, the first thing Kahn saw was Raven in full armor. He was wearing a knight armor he got from somewhere and holding a scimitar, as if he was ready to fight the undead.

"Mate Raven, you just need to stay on the ship, you don't need to go to the island."

Raven was a little frustrated when he heard that, he was still looking forward to this adventure.

Kahn first went back to the room and took the small cloth bag with him, then went into the warehouse to get a silver weapon, and said that it was soaked in the holy spring of Ionia.Then he carried a box of oranges into the boat, to exchange for a lantern.

They didn't plan to drive the Siren directly to the beach of Shadow Isle, and let a boat of living people wait for them on the shore. The goal was too big, and it would easily attract the attention of the undead.

When the boat arrived at the pier, Fayette was already waiting for them.They put the tangerines on the pier, took the lantern from Fayette and set sail, heading for the Shadow Isles.

"Remember to return before nightfall," she reminded.

The boat rowed across the silent sea, and the black water was separated into a layer of silent ripples. Kahn's paddling movements were very gentle, like stroking a lover's hand, for fear of breaking the silence.

They were wary of what was below the surface, but nothing happened until the boat washed up on the black sand.

The beach was desolate, the black fine sand half-buried the remains of the ship, and half of the broken sword blade and armor.

The black mist billowed in front of his eyes, blocking the sunlight, as if it might overwhelm him at any moment, and the screams of the undead faintly echoed in his ears.

"It's really gloomy here, in every sense." Sarah got off the boat and stepped on a shallow hole in the black sand, the air seemed to freeze.

She realized that even the land itself was cursed in the archipelago.

Kahn stretched his hand into the black mist, and he saw that the part of his arm in contact with the black mist began to evaporate a layer of white mist, which was swallowed up by the black mist.

His life force is being sucked away bit by bit through the pores.

However, when the black-purple armor covered his arms, the flow of vitality stopped.On the contrary, the skin armor began to vibrate slightly, and the bursts of needle pricks were like the peristalsis of the stomach, which in turn absorbed the evil magic power in the black mist.

But the energy actually converted can only be said to be better than nothing.

"When entering the black mist, you must cover it with skin armor. There is a curse in the mist, which will turn the dead into undead." Kahn turned and said to the two.

"Don't we have lanterns?" Kai'Sa said.
