he came from the void

……

It had been quite a long time when I opened my eyes again, because it was so comfortable to hold Kaisha, and I fell asleep without knowing it.

Kahn wasn't sleepy at first, and he thought it was because of their sleeping positions.When he got used to sleeping like this, when Kai'Sa pressed on him, it was as if some switch was activated, and the drowsiness slowly surged up, and he fell asleep without knowing it.

I don't know if I like the heaviness of people lying on my body, or I just have such a wonderful reaction to Kai'Sa.

There is no way to test this thing. If he dares to hug someone else to sleep, Kai'Sa will dare to turn a living person into a corpse.I can only wait until I have a daughter in the future, and then try to find out the reason.

Turning his gaze, Kahn noticed that the black patch on the roof was incompatible with the surrounding yellow sunshade cloth.

"Strange, why does it feel familiar?"

He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, only to realize that it was his socks.

"What's wrong?" Kaisha woke up and asked in a daze.

"Look at the good things you did." Kahn flicked her forehead angrily.

That Kai'Sa turned her head and glanced, and said confidently, "Could it be possible to use my socks?"

"Can't you use something else? It's like wearing a sock." Kahn pushed Kaisha away, got up and pulled the sock off from the layers of beams, and said earnestly: "And we have to pass through a forest before we reach the desert. It will also rain, so use socks to block you from wanting to wash your hair, even if you're going to do it, you can't do that."

"I can't find anything more suitable than socks, maybe I need to use underwear..."

"I……"

In the end, Kahn asked the team leader for a piece of sheepskin cloth to fill up the hole. They are still willing to help with this little favor.

The convoy went south along the coastline, and the humid sea breeze grew dense forests.

There are thick green forests on one side, and the deep blue sea on the other. The two of them leaning against the window to enjoy the scenery are quite pleasant.

About a week passed like this. On the way, the caravan went to the local fishing village to trade, replenished some easy-to-storage bacon, pickled fish and fruits, and then went south without stopping.

When the shoreline came to an end, they came to Kaldugar, a Noxian outpost.

Chapter 538 Karduga

The Kalduga Outpost is located at the mouth of the southern bay of Piltover. A little to the east is the Kumanggu Forest, which Karn once visited.

It's just that her hand hasn't reached the edge of the forest yet.

After driving out of the plains on the outskirts of Piltover, the road conditions began to bump up and the car bells jingled.

The luggage stacked by Kahn in the compartment was dropped from a height several times, but luckily no one was hit.After he learned his lesson, he found a rope to tie things up, and nothing like this happened again.

It's just that sometimes they can't get on with each other when they kiss, or they kowtow to each other, which makes each other very embarrassed.

In the past few days, the two of them have been in a mess in the carriage, and they can't wait to experience the feeling of their feet touching the ground.After the caravan stopped, Kahn lifted the curtain and looked outside.

This outpost is a bit crude, and it can't be compared with the Nordic architecture that Kahn usually sees. Compared with the stone fort, the wooden house has no strong sense of oppression and defensive performance.The only one with a card is the gate, which was built on the foundation of Knox Stola, and the huge arch-shaped black stone was used as the door frame.

Normally, businessmen would basically stay and evacuate when they saw the Noxus outpost, but Kahn didn't feel nervous at all, and even wanted to walk down for a few laps.

"Come down and walk together."

"Okay."

Kahn asked Kaisha next to her, and she agreed.

The carriage of the caravan was a bit high from the ground, Kahn jumped out of the car and took a look at the parked caravan, then turned around and handed Kaisha his hand, so that she could put his hand on her and jump out of the car gracefully.

These are not all for show, although with Kaisha's skill, she will not sprain her feet when she jumps out of the car, but this can not only reflect his demeanor, but also make Kaisha feel that Kahn takes care of her, why not do it Woolen cloth?

Besides, Kai'Sa is also happy to pretend to be an ordinary girl in front of ordinary people.

"Please open the door. We are a caravan from Piltover, and we are going to the Marrow Seal Market." The leader's loud voice came from the front of the caravan, and Kai'Sa couldn't help looking over.

The gate was closed tightly, and there was no one standing guard nearby, and no one responded to the leader's call.

"There seems to be something wrong."

Kahn also noticed: "Well, it's outrageous that no one is on guard at an outpost. I don't know when the door will be opened and let them go. Let's walk around and don't stay too far away, so as not to be thrown here."

He noticed that there was a way out in the nearby woods, and he walked hand in hand with Kai'Sa.

Someone noticed them coming down, but didn't pay much attention to it, only as if they were going into the woods to satisfy their physical needs, or to find a place where no one was there for a quick shot.

The two of them came out of the woods within a short distance, and a puff of moisture hit their faces.

There is a huge bay in front of them, and they are standing on the cliff at the apex of the bay, overlooking the sea.

A gust of moist sea breeze blew in, and looking at the calm sea, Kahn felt emotional: "This is the biggest bay I have ever seen, but I don't know why there are no boats on it."

"My father told me about this place. He said that this place is an evil place. Many ships have disappeared here for no reason. Over time, no ships have passed by."

"Is there such a thing? It's the first time I've heard of it."

Kai'Sa's words reminded Kahn of something like the Devil's Delta. I don't know if these are true or just rumors. There are many really dangerous places in Runeterra, such as the man-eating southern rainforest deep behind them. , which is nothing in comparison.

Then he turned his attention to the outpost next to him. He always felt that this outpost was a little abnormally quiet.There is no human voice at all, and I don't know what is going on inside.

Not daring to delay for too long, the two looked around and hurried back.When I returned to the caravan, I found that the gate of the outpost hadn't been opened yet.

"Why haven't you opened the door for so long?" Kahn stepped forward and asked the team leader.

"I don't know. We shouted for a long time, but no one uttered a word. The whole outpost was quiet." The team leader's face was not good, and he seemed to hold back the swear words that came to his mouth. go back.

"Have you tried pushing the door?"

"I tried it, but the door is locked from the other side, and I can't push it open at all."

Kahn went up and pushed it in disbelief, and the door was pushed open by him, revealing the latch behind it, which was as thick as a thigh.

"Are they trying to make things difficult for us?" Someone behind him began to complain: "These soldiers like to bully us businessmen, take our things, and ignore us. It's so annoying!"

"Why do you deliberately make things difficult for the passing caravan?" Kaisha asked, she thought there was some conflict between the soldiers and the merchants.

"They themselves are not happy, so they take it out on us." Anyway, the door is not open, and they are idle, so it is better to find someone to complain.

So, the team leader cleared his hoarse voice and began to tell the two about the outpost.

The Kalduga outpost is built on a cliff, hidden in the dense forest, and the bay is just below the cliff.

The unique geographical location makes Karduga an excellent observation point, but this remote outpost is not as strategically valuable as imagined.

At the beginning, the commander set up an outpost here to prevent Shurima from carrying out military activities in the vicinity.But it turns out that the empire overestimated the current Shurima. The Noxus army easily occupied several cities in the north of Shurima. The frontiers of the empire's borders.

Now that this outlying outpost has no value in existence, there are no strategic locations nearby worthy of the empire's occupation, and no military activities can be observed.

But I don't know why, this outpost has not been abandoned, it seems to be forgotten, making the soldiers stationed on the frontier miserable.Without the aid of the empire, they could only rely on hunting and collecting travel expenses from passing caravans to maintain the operation of the outpost.

"If you want me to say, this remote outpost should be demolished directly! Keeping it is to torture each other." There is a limit to human patience, and the aggrieved team leader has already started to kick the gate.

Kahn looked up at the tall Knox Stola, and then moved his gaze to the slightly shorter fence.After thinking for a while, he turned back to the rest of the caravan.

"Would you like me to go in and find out the situation? There is no way to wait here."

"I will go with you."

This suggestion was supported by everyone, and even the team leader said that he would go with Kahn.As the leader of this team, he must set an example.

"Okay, Kai'Sa stay here and wait for me."

Chapter 539 Abandoned

In order for Kai'Sa to continue to maintain the image of an ordinary girl, Kahn did not let her climb the high wall of the outpost with him.Kaisha didn't say anything, she stayed to look at the valuable luggage.

She stood aside and watched Kahn run up for a while, kicking the wall with his toes and turning over to the wall, then turned around and waved to her, covering her mouth and chuckling.

But this scene made the team leader under the wall dumbfounded. He was just a businessman. How could he have such good skills to easily climb up the three to four meter high wall.

"Jump up, I'll pull you." Kahn saw his embarrassment and said to him.

The leader was very grateful, and then declined Kahn's offer.

"Forget it, I'd better get the loop rope, so I can feel safe."

Amidst the roar of laughter, the team leader went back in desperation to get a loop of rope, threw it into the wall to be fixed by Kahn, and then climbed over the high wall steadily.

As a businessman, you should try to avoid doing aggressive things. If you jump up and lose your balance and become lame, it will be a big loss.

The two entered the interior of the outpost and stood in a quiet corridor, at the end of which seemed to be a yard.

"There's still no one to be seen here, are they all dead?" The leader looked around, let go of the rope and began to walk forward cursingly.

When he was about to enter the yard, Kahn suddenly smelled a strong rotten smell, and he felt vigilant in his heart, so he hurriedly dragged the leader to make him be careful.

"What's wrong?" The team leader was taken aback by the jerk of his arm.

"It's weird." The quiet and unoccupied outpost had a strong and pungent stench. He had already guessed that something happened in this outpost, but he wasn't sure.

He asked the team leader to walk behind him. As soon as the two stepped into the yard, they were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them.

The corpses of Noxus soldiers lay here and there in the courtyard, and the dried blood stained the soil a dark red.These corpses have been air-dried until only a layer of dry and wrinkled skin is left, covered with gray-white mold spots, some even turned into white bones, only the thick armor is still the same, but it is also covered with dust.

"This..." The team leader had never seen such a scene before, his face was livid, and he was too scared to speak.

"This is in the forest, and the rate of decay of the corpse will be accelerated. Counting this factor, these sentries have been dead for at least a month. It's really weird, do you know what's going on?"

In contrast, Kahn seemed much calmer. He turned to ask the team leader, but the latter just shook his head frantically, desperately wanting to put aside the death of the sentries.

Seeing him like this, Kahn didn't want to count on him anymore.He approached several corpses, and after careful inspection, he found that they all died of knife wounds, and had fought fiercely with weapons before they died.

At first he thought it was collective death caused by supernatural factors such as collective poisoning, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Could it be a savage's hand?" The team leader approached and asked in a low voice, not knowing what he was afraid of.

He was not as scared as he was at the beginning, the dead actually had nothing to be afraid of.Even if there is danger here, it should be safe after so long.

"Savage?" It was the first time Kahn heard this word in this world, and the image of a furry, bipedal ape appeared in his head.

Are there apes in Runeterra?He really doesn't know.

"It's the natives in the forest." The leader's explanation made Kahn understand that he was thinking too much. It turned out that the so-called wildlings were primitive people wearing leather aprons and holding spears, just like Nidalee in human form.

Putting aside the extra thoughts, Kahn said seriously to the team leader: "I don't think so. You can see that none of the equipment of these soldiers has been taken away. It should not be the hands of the savages."

To make his conclusions more convincing, he went straight across the yard into a porch.

He pushed open the doors on both sides of the porch one by one, revealing the empty dormitories inside.He pushed open a door at the end of the porch and finally found the storage room he was looking for.

Looking around, everything in the storage room is quite complete, baked tafa root, crispy bread, cheese bread... Although the food is expired and moldy, the whole storage room does not look like it has been ransacked Therefore, the claim that the wildlings ransacked the outpost is untenable.

"If it wasn't for the savage attack, how could they all be dead..."

The leader is still struggling with the savages. It seems that their caravan was attacked by savages in the woods.This is actually quite normal, there are sand robbers in the desert, there are such people everywhere.

But his words made Kahn think of other possibilities.

"Could it be that the passing caravan did it deliberately?"

"How is it possible, those of us who do business dare to provoke Noxus soldiers!" The leader automatically brought into the merchant class, and was already getting angry.

"Didn't you say that the sentries in Kalduga are bad?" Kahn said, "They will ask for things from passing caravans. Maybe some caravans have a grudge because of this and paid for the attack."

"That shouldn't be the case. No matter how bad these soldiers are, they're just tired of the hairy-tailed meat pie and want a change. You just need to get some food to get rid of them. I don't think anyone will kill people just because of this. ?”

"Really?" Listening to the leader's answer, Kahn looked at the messy yard and said slowly: "The most likely thing is that the soldiers have long held grudges against their superiors, launched a rebellion and killed each other, and finally had to give up. Outpost defection."

"How do you see this?" There are many reasons for the conflict, and he was curious why Kahn was sure it was a rebellion?

The reason given by Kahn is very simple, but there is no reason to refute it.

"Look at the corpse wearing the commander's armor, it was cut the worst, and the bones were chopped up alive."

"..." Looking at the broken body that Kahn mentioned, the team leader couldn't help shivering.He didn't forget that this was a Noxus outpost, and if it had something to do with the death of soldiers, it would definitely end badly.

"In short, let's leave quickly, this matter is beyond our control."

Kahn nodded, went back and opened the door latch, and pushed the heavy gate with the leader, removing the obstacles that blocked the caravan's progress.

"This outpost has been abandoned. The soldiers inside... are gone. Let's just leave." Facing the other members of the caravan, the leader hesitated and did not reveal the fact that the outpost had become a place of death. Just urging the caravan to leave here quickly.

"Ham, after waiting for a long time, it turns out that there is no one inside."

"It's okay if there is no one, there is no need to give those sentries anything."

Some people have been hanging out for so long, and originally wanted to talk to the sentinel, but now that they are not there, they feel extremely aggrieved and have nowhere to vent their anger.Some people had optimistic thoughts, and some people heard that the soldiers were no longer cursing even more fiercely.

"Let's go, let's all get in the car!"
