he came from the void

A painful memory automatically appeared in his mind - a pair of eyes suddenly woke up, only to notice that the snow lily vines that had turned into blonde hair had wrapped around his limbs, and the barbs on the vines pierced deeply into the flesh to suck blood.

A net of thorns and vines woven by Moon Rose descended from the sky, wrapping itself tightly.Their leaves are as sharp as a knife and cut to the skin, and the thick flower stems surround the head, neck, muzzle and cover the mouth.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a woman, watching him being dragged into the flowers with flickering eyes, but he never extended a helping hand, allowing himself to be swallowed by the flowers.

A movement in the depths of the flower bushes awakened Kahn. He saw that the petals in his hand had changed from gold to the color of white snow, and immediately threw it out of his hand.He looked down at his feet again, and found that there were no flower vines entangled with each other's legs, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kahn, with lingering fears, recalled what he saw just now, as if he was in a strange southern rainforest, standing there and muttering: "Just now... I seem to have seen another person's memory? He was eaten by these snow lilies? The sense of substitution is too strong Kai'Sa...KaSa?"

When he was wondering why Kai'Sa didn't wake him up, he turned his head and saw Kai'Sa was holding a snow lily in her hand, her beautiful cheek was buried in it, and the facial lines on her cheeks were like growing stamens. in the fragrance of flowers.

Although the picture was beautiful, Kahn didn't dare to look at it for a second. He tried a few times to wake up Kaisha, but he couldn't wake up Kaisha. Her face took a hard breath.

This immediately woke her up, and she stared at him blankly with wide eyes, as if she couldn't remember who the person in front of her was for a while.

"Kan..." Some things engraved in dna can never be forgotten, and she immediately remembered Kahn's name.

"This flower is weird." Kahn warned her with a cold face. The flower he threw on the ground was slowly turning white, like a piece of drawing paper that was broken by Kaisha after the color ink was taken away. Terrible sap oozes from the broken stem.

"You also saw the message in Huaxiang?" Kai'Sa asked.

"Well, I can see it very clearly." Kahn said what he saw: "These snow lilies can eat people, I have seen it with my own eyes... I even experienced it myself once."

"They will devour the memory first, and if the person doesn't get away in time, they will eat people again." Kaisha corrected: "But don't worry so much, they have become very weak, and they don't have the strange ability that they had when they were strong. "

Her words were unexpected, and he looked at her in surprise: "Did you see anything else?"

"Maybe it's because I took a whole flower." She picked up the flower that Kahn had thrown away earlier, with a flash of love in her eyes: "What I saw was part of the memory of a woman who belonged to the garden. The Caregiver, often called the Mystic Eater, the Forsaken, or the Witch Gardener."

Kahn's eyes widened slightly, and he recalled more details about the woman watching from his memory... Arms entwined with flowers and vines, a wrinkled face like bark, and an unpredictable expression on his face.

While he was still trying to remember, Kai'Sa beside him had already started talking on his own.

"This garden is called Wangyou. The snow lilies here will eat human memories. As long as you breathe into the flowers and think about the memories you want to discard in your mind, those memories will be eaten by the flowers. return. And the gardener's duty is not only to take care of the garden, but also to warn the visitors to beware of these beautiful traps, and to guide them on how to properly forget their bad memories."

"But since the flames of war have spread in this land, the magic of this garden has gradually withered, and the flowers have become lifeless."

Kaisha looked at Kahn with a sudden smile: "If you have any painful memories that need to be forgotten, don't miss them."

"I didn't." Kahn hugged Kaisha: "Every moment with you is beautiful."

Kai'Sa said the previous words in the attitude of a gardener, which made Kahn very panic for a while, thinking that he would lose the original Kai'Sa.And the smile in the back was Kaisha's own, which made Kahn so excited that he couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"Don't be like this, someone is watching." Kai'sa blushed and whispered in Kahn's ear.

"Which direction?" Cain was vigilant, and Kahn slowly withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, only to hear Kaisha add: "It's just a harmless elf, she is the current gardener of this garden. I also Don't know where she is, but she must be watching us somewhere."

"Sneaky." Kahn muttered.

"Let's get out of here and don't bother people. She's shy and it makes her nervous."

"Okay." Kahn thought for a while and nodded.

There was nothing they wanted here, and it was too reckless to enter someone else's territory and sleep in a stately manner, which was not his style at all.

With a shy face, after the two of them had completely stepped out of the garden, they poked out from behind a big tree in the center of the garden, watching their backs that were about to disappear.On the top of Sen Ling's head was a shy flower bud, and his four hooves were waving nervously.

……

Part of the memory that Kaisha saw was about the surrounding terrain. Although he didn't know how many years had passed, it somehow pointed out a way for them.

Leaving Wangyou Garden, according to the gardener's memory, they came to a village at the foot of the mountain.

It was already late at night, and they knocked on the doors of several farmers before they found a family willing to take them in for the night.Because of their vigilance, they were housed in a barn and not living inside the house.

But Kahn is already very grateful. There is a barn that can withstand the mountain wind at night, and the farmer also brought blankets to keep out the cold.It is indispensable to be defensive, and he would do the same.

They cleaned the barn with ready-made tools, laid hay bales again, and then lay comfortably on it, snuggling together under the cover of the booth.

Listening to the sound of insects and frogs at night, holding my beloved in my arms, everything is perfect except that the haystack under me is a little scratchy.

In the early morning of the next day, Kahn woke up to the crisp sound of swords.

He opened his eyes, looked at the still bright sky outside the window, frowned and murmured: "Who is practicing sword so early in the morning?"

By the time he wiped off the dirt on his face, Kaisha had already woken up.Kahn let her comb her hair in the barn, and went outside to see the situation by himself.

Unexpectedly, he saw an acquaintance.

Chapter 443 The Shaper

"Master Yi? Why are you here?!"

Not seen for many days, Yi still wears the iconic pair of goggles and helmets, which can be recognized at a glance from a distance.

The sudden sound made Yi stop his waving movements, turned his head to look at the person coming, and smiled immediately: "I said we will meet again."

Seeing that Kahn still had a surprised expression, he explained: "This is the only human village nearby, and it's normal for us to meet here."

"Master Yi also came for the Vastaya Council?" Kahn believed that it was no coincidence that they met Yi here, and they should have been attracted by the same goal.

"Since the Blossom Festival, Wukong and I have been traveling around to deal with the vastaya attack on humans, but we have never been able to find an effective solution. Later, Wukong heard from his tribe that someone launched the Vastaya in Pubo I guess the vastayas will make a big move in the council of Yage tribes, so I will come here in advance to inquire about it.”

"I know what the subject of parliament is."

"What is it?"

"Shadow Stream is reversing Kunlong's absorption of natural magic in various places to fuel Shadow. What Vastaya is going to discuss this time is how to deal with Shadow Stream."

"A side door, Yingliu took a detour." Yi sighed, and continued to swing his sword to cut off his troubles.

"Does Master know where the meeting place is?"

"I'm also waiting for Wukong's news." Yi replied while waving his sword.He has to swing his sword four thousand times a day, if he doesn't finish his swing sooner, he probably won't have to eat breakfast.

"We also need this news very much."

As soon as the words were finished, Kaisha pushed the door out of the barn, walked over to say hello to Master Yi, and then went out to finish breakfast with Kahn.

Three days later, Yi led his apprentice to find the two, and this was the first time Kahn saw Wukong.

The vastaya boy was covered in crimson fur and light armor, standing behind Yi with a long wrought copper staff on his shoulders.

Wukong, formerly known as Kong, is a spirited young man from the Si macaque tribe. He is young and energetic, and he is Yi's favorite student...but these are just appearances.

The former Kong was a complete Vastayagai who had been playing pranks on his people for countless years, and finally used the elemental dragon-like sheep to successfully get himself exiled by the angry people.

After coming to the human world, he basically makes a living by bluffing and cheating, calling himself the "Monkey King", and challenging humans to duels or cunning games.Every time he succeeds, he steals some money and then escapes unscathed.

It wasn't until one time that he got offended by a hard stubble, a Noxian executioner, and was chased into the wilderness before he managed to escape.

As time passed, he saw the battle Noxus ignited in his homeland, and it fueled his fighting spirit.

With the determination to become stronger, Kong finds Yi, and through perseverance and a little cleverness, Yi breaks the rules and accepts him as a disciple. After practicing with Yi for a period of time, his rogue nature improves.

But the nature is hard to change, the current Wukong is still a little reckless and impulsive, and Yi has already got through with them before meeting.

"Wukong has found out the meeting place, let's leave now." Yi Lai found the two for this purpose.

"Okay." Kahn agreed, and then looked at Wukong: "This is Master Yi's disciple."

"I can't say you are a high-ranking student, you guys should get to know each other." Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile, showing the demeanor of a high-ranking person.

Kahn stretched out his hand, Wukong took a beat to reach out and hold it with him.This vastaya's hands were a bit careless, he felt the squeeze of calluses, and the thick bristles on the back of his hand, it was really an uncomfortable handshake.

A group of people bought supplies at the village market... Although there are so many fruits and vegetables on the road that they are easily available, supplies are really unnecessary, but it is good to buy some for peace of mind.

After more than a week of walking, the four arrived in a small town in Pubo.

Standing on the mountain and looking down, you can see all kinds of vastayas coming and going in and out of the town, or several tall and strong guards crowding the high-ranking elders to squeeze out the crowd. rush somewhere.

To use a sentence that is not pleasant but very vivid, Kahn felt that he had come to a zoo.

"The noble Chile, the loyal Cheer, the wise Lott... Many tribes have come, and the elders of our tribe have also come." Wukong put his hand on his eyebrows to block the sun, overlooking the town.

It is not difficult to find the elder Si macaque mentioned by Wukong, and Kahn found it at a glance.

Si macaques like to stay in trees, so Kahn looked for them according to this premise, and he saw an old white-haired ape in the canopy of a big tree, wearing a silk white robe, quite fairy-like , the feeling of not converging with the troubled times.

"Look, there are guards at the gate of the town." Kai'Sa pointed to the two big men with black leather horns on both sides of the gate and said, "I see that the town is full of vastayas. Will they let us in?"

"Eh? Aren't there a few humans?" Kahn also pointed out a middle-aged greasy man with a potbellied appearance and a Mediterranean hairstyle who lined up at the gate to enter the town. Not a single pointy ear.

"Let me see." Wukong scratched his ears, took a closer look, and immediately clicked his tongue: "This should be a shape-changer."

After Wukong finished speaking, the target lined up and came to the door. Facing the two guards, he shivered and turned his head into a pig's head, and was let through smoothly.

"Pfft!" Kaisha couldn't recognize her and laughed, "Why did he only change one head?"

In fact, she had met a shape-changer before, and this pig-headed man reminded her of Nidalee and Neeko in the southern jungle, but they could change their whole bodies, but this man could only change into a pig's head. and make her laugh.

"Sometimes shape-changers are quite convenient, I mean integrating into human society." Wukong said without surprise, these shape-changers should get along best with humans.

As for why there are shape-changers, in fact, this is an inevitable phenomenon after the vastaya bloodline is diluted to a certain extent.

The vastayas are the fusion of human beings and the vastayas, and the vastasayas are the most spiritual human beings in ancient times who transformed the energy of the spiritual realm into their own lives, so the vastayas already have A considerable part of human blood.

This has led to another part of the blood that controls the animal form to be continuously diluted during the process of reproduction and diffusion. When the dilution reaches a certain level, there will be a person with vastaya blood, but not enough to show heterozygous animals shape of the situation.

So, there are shapechangers, the vastaya who cannot maintain the animal form all the time.Nidalee, for example, might have been abandoned for that very reason.

It is worth mentioning that although Nicole can also change her shape, she is not a shape changer.It was the purer blood that gave her the ability to change shape at will.

Chapter 444 Root

After ending the topic of shape changers, the group also understood that humans are not welcome in this town.

Without the help of some methods, it is definitely impossible to get in. The four of them used their brains to think of ways.

Wukong was the most cunning, and with an idea, he suggested, "You can stick clay on your ears to make them pointed and long, and then put on fur scarves, horns and lion tails, etc. You should be able to get in. I can go into town and help you get these things."

"Wukong!" Yi stopped his apprentice with a displeased expression.

This idea was immediately opposed by him, very firmly.

Yi Yiyi never changed his name when he walked or sat or changed his surname, so he naturally disdained to use such a trick.Let him be a master swordsman to dress up as a funny clown. If he is recognized, where will he hang his old face in the future?

"Forget it, I'll go ask someone."

There was no other way, Wukong had no choice but to go to Elder Baiyuan to explain the situation by himself, and begged him to guarantee the three of them to enter the city.

Thanks to the honor of the two companions, Kaenkasha was also able to be released, otherwise they would have to infiltrate again.

After entering the city, the two wrapped their cloaks tightly, and just said a few words, only to hear the rhythmic echoes of Wukong knocking on the ground with a stick as he walked, and he couldn't stop chanting.

"The parliament will hold a court session tomorrow morning. Let's find an inn to stay and get up early tomorrow to get a good seat."

He picked up a peach from a roadside stall and gnawed on it. In front of the stall owner, he waited until he was about to yell before throwing the money into his hand.

"Wukong, Master Dolan's stick is not for you to beat the drums." Yi asked Wukong to calm down and stop acting frizzy.

"I've found that the stick works well for rolling out dough and making slate bread too."

"Goku!"

Wukong played with his humor, but it made Yi angry for a while. It seems that the master and apprentice quarreled a lot on weekdays.

"Master Yi..." Kahn interrupted their conversation.

Yi turned his head, and Wukong also cast a curious look.

"We're going to find someone, right here in this town," he said.

"Then go and do your work." Yi didn't ask much, but just told the two to remember to attend tomorrow's meeting.

Kahn has made it obvious that what they are going to do is not suitable for others to accompany.

"See you later." Nodding, Kahn dragged Kai'Sa into the alley.

The person they are looking for is Xialuo. This pair of bird couples exuding the sour smell of love is not difficult to find. After a little thought, they must be spending a good time together in a romantic holy place.Kahn only needs to ask where the scenery is good in the town, and he will probably be able to find them.

Under the instruction of a passerby, they came to a waterfall.

The water flows from a high place on the smooth rocks, stirring up bursts of fine waves, dense like a fairyland.

On a big tree next to the waterfall, Xialuo is sitting on the branch and cuddling together, their feather canopies are intertwined, shining brightly under the sunshine, enjoying the steamy rainbow together.

"I really know how to choose a place." Kahn sighed with emotion.

The sound of the waterfall muffled the footsteps, and Xia Luo didn't notice them until they got closer.

"It's you guys? Oh~ what a sight!" Xia rubbed her eyes and looked again, and after making sure she hadn't mistaken the person, her feathers drooped.

"How are you, my friends." In contrast, Luo's attitude was much friendlier, and he stood up and waved hello.
