he came from the void

"Could it be..." The team leader opened his eyes wide, and suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder, which frightened him, and he suddenly sat down on the ground.

"The ground is dirty, get up quickly." Hearing only a gentle voice, the leader looked back and saw a man and woman standing behind him and looking at him.The woman folded her arms without saying a word, while the man bent down and stretched out his hand towards him, with a vague smile on his face.

Although this pair of men and women who suddenly appeared seemed a bit strange, they could at least communicate with the guards.The leader held Kahn's outstretched hand and was pulled up while breathing heavily, like a drowning person rising to the surface.

"Sorry to scare you," Kahn said.

"It's okay..." The leader tried his best to calm down, looked around again, and asked cautiously, "Are you two alive here?" He had already realized that these guards were actually soulless sand soldiers.

"There are a few others, we just arrived here a few days earlier than you."

"You have lived here for a few days? Do you know what this place is? This location is the former site of the ancient capital. Aren't you afraid? A city that is suddenly revived, who knows if it will suddenly sink again, throwing us And buried together..."

He retracted his arms nervously, his body trembled slightly, and his panic was beyond words.In this regard, Kahn kept smiling.

"If you are worried, you can stay for one night and leave."

"That's exactly what I planned. I'm going to let the caravan rest near the city gate for a night and leave here early tomorrow morning. But at least I can't think this way alone. I have to ask other people in the caravan Views."

"A cautious approach." Kahn heard a kind of worry that could not be shelved from his mouth, and nodded.

"What's in this city?" The team leader continued to ask Kahn for information, and Kahn was also happy to tell him something as an explorer, and then spread the news here through the mouth of others.

"What you see is all."

"The magnificent and shining sun disc, the clear fresh water flowing out of nowhere, the grand and ancient oasis of dawn..." The leader looked at all this with ecstasy, and then swallowed: "But I always feel that this place is eerie."

"Isn't it enough to have fresh water and a shelter?" Kai'Sa said.

"Yes, enough is enough." The team leader realized that he was a little greedy, so he changed the subject: "Then what happened to these soldiers?"

"Azir the Ascended is back, he is the one who made the sun disc stand upright again, and made the Oasis of Dawn flow again. Rest in peace in the city, he promises to protect all the people in the city. Also, you have to hurry up A decision has been made, the guards will close the city gate at night."

"..."

Even though Kahn was just stating a fact and didn't exaggerate half a point from Azir's position, the heavy news still left the team leader speechless.

"There is hope for Shurima!" he murmured, feeling that everything in the city suddenly made sense.

he came from the void

Chapter 594 Split Regeneration

After a brief conversation, the caravan decided to spend the night in the city.Kahn, on the other hand, bought some missing things from the caravan and placed them in his house.

It's not that I don't think there's too much money to spend, it's just that I'm not used to seeing the house empty.Moreover, these things can also be used as a sign of ownership after they leave. Kahn imagined that the emperor would not want to deal with trivial matters such as real estate disputes, so he had to use something to prove that the house belonged to him.

Maybe when Liming Oasis develops, it will really become a "capital house", worth tens of thousands of dollars.

It's just that the Dawn Oasis is still not suitable for settlement. There is no stable food source here, and the only way to solve this problem is to wait for the caravans to bring food one after another.It is foreseeable that Dawn Oasis will become the largest gathering place around by virtue of its water source, and when it becomes a lively gathering place, it will have everything.

Surprisingly, Sivir left the Dawn Oasis with the caravan the next day, saying that the place was lifeless and a place with opportunities was suitable for her.Ryze also had the same idea. He obtained the agreed world rune from Nasus and left with the caravan, continuing to run on the way to contain the rune.

Kahn said goodbye to the two with regret, and continued to stay in the city to do his own thing.

The power captured from Xerath has strengthened the various dimensions of the void skin armor. Kahn found that not only has he been strengthened in all aspects, he can even step on the void and float in the air like a witch spirit without doing anything. .

Although the speed of floating is far less than that of flying with dragon wings, it shows that he has been able to distort the laws of physics, which is a huge improvement from scratch.

In addition, the Void Skin Armor has an additional ability to split and regenerate.Now his armor can be quickly detached and recycled from his body.

The crack-like luminescent lines will be connected together first, and a piece of skin armor will be separated from the body like being peeled, but the defense will not be weakened.

Kahn didn't understand the use of this at first, thinking that it was used to escape the golden cicada's shell at a critical moment.Until later, in an accidental attempt, he discovered that the detached part could quickly deform or float in the air under his control... It was like floating cannons floating on both sides of his shoulders.

This is much more useful than using the mind to control two self-destructive bugs to float around. First of all, the creatures he created cannot change their shape and function when they are out of the body, and it takes a lot of energy to control them.However, the separated armor piece can be manipulated and changed at will. For example, if you want to suppress the enemy, you can grow a one-eyed eye and shoot a biolysis ray. After the enemy hides in the bunker, it will transform into a miniature pod to attack and launch a plasma bomb that can strike in an arc.

This ability greatly strengthened Kahn's output ability, and also gave him more ways to deal with the enemy.It's just that he didn't have much chance to practice in the Dawn Oasis, so he couldn't go to Azir to ask for some sand soldiers as targets, right?Come on, he really doesn't know this Ascended Emperor well.

After the caravan left, people discovered this city rising from the gravel one after another. It was nothing more than another caravan, a nomadic tribe, or a bandit group... and Kahn, as the only human in the city, always Come out and tell people about the situation in the city.Until a group of robbers refused to listen to his advice and wanted to occupy this empty city as king.

Then Azir personally came forward to teach this group of robbers a lesson, and asked the sand soldiers to kill their leader in full view, and the rest were expelled from the city, and they were marked. If they approached the city again, they would be immediately sanded. soldiers killed.Although not many people witnessed this scene, Azir's majestic image was initially established.

And after almost a month, Dawn Oasis finally ushered in its first large-scale crowd.

An unusual storm has swept across the desert, driving various tribes to the city of Dawn Oasis.While they were racing against the storm, they saw the sun disc towering in the sky in the distance, this huge landmark.However, there is no second human gathering place within a hundred miles, and these people who are threatened by sandstorms can only choose to go to this ancient city that has never appeared on the map to seek shelter.

But people are always wary of the extraordinary.Even though Azir promised to protect everyone in the city, there were still many people who chose to set up temporary camps outside the city walls, preferring to fight through the storm, rather than go into the city and just find a house to wait for the storm to pass.

About two hours before the storm hit the city wall, Karn and Kai'Sa came outside the city to find someone.Crossing the golden threshold, the city is full of people, and the busy scene is like an anthill before the flood.Though they still hesitated to enter the depths of the great city, the terror on their faces was more from the unearthly storm than from the city or the returning Emperor.

Karn looked around in the crowd, but did not see Taliyah.Kaisha also asked someone, but the result was that no one saw the arrival of the weaver tribe.

Those around were still debating whether to stay in the camp or seek refuge in the old city.Kahn decided to wait a little longer, because he could see that there were still several tribes heading towards the city in the distance, and maybe the Weaver tribe was among them.

It turned out that they really waited until the storm was approaching, and the weaver tribe arrived.Their large herds of livestock slowed the pace, causing the Weavers to almost race against the storm.

Kai'Sa braved the intensifying wind and sand to welcome their arrival, her long purple hair was blown like strips of cloth flying randomly.

"Little Master? Sister Kasha? Why are you here?!" Seeing the long-lost acquaintance in this kind of place, Taliyah felt nothing but unparalleled excitement and joy, and even the coming storm seemed insignificant.

"We know that your tribe will migrate with the seasonally changing water sources, so we have been waiting for you to arrive at the source of the mother of life. Long time no see, the little sparrow has grown up." Kaisha smiled and took Taliyah It can be clearly seen that she has grown a little taller, her hair has also become longer, and she no longer looks like a tomboy, but the freckles on her face have not disappeared.

"Come in and say, the city gate is about to close." Kahn interrupted the conversation between the two, his voice was almost overwhelmed by the disturbed oasis and the approaching gust of wind.At the same time, he indicated to Taliyah's parents that he is the chief of the tribe and decides the whereabouts of the tribe.

Chapter 595 Magic Barrier

"Is it safe here?" Taliyah glanced at the magnificent city gate, and like all other newcomers, she had deep doubts about the city.

"It's safer than going outside. We've all lived inside for a while."

The Weaver Tribe followed Karn's advice and entered the city to wait for the storm to pass.They joined the huddle, jostling and jostling with other strangers as they poured into the city.

At this time, several groups of people gave up the idea of ​​fighting the storm and came to the city at the last moment.Still, a few groups gathered around their herds in pens to weather the storm outside the city, as Shurima's caravans have always done.

The heavy giant door slowly closed behind them, making a low roar.Taliyah looked back and watched those people disappear before her eyes, and was locked outside the city separated by a wall, feeling worried in her heart.

But right now they seem to be not out of danger. The city wall is still a long way from the city. Not only do they have to cross the slope of the windbreak dam, they also have to cross the arch bridge over the moat to enter the city.But the storm had come, and they had no time to finish the journey.

The crowd became agitated, and the surrounding area was an open area. They didn't know where to go, they could only choose to stay next to the thick city walls, hoping that these walls, which had been buried in the sand for centuries, could help them block the angry sand and dust.

Regarding this, Kahn calmly said to the people of the Weaver Tribe: "Everyone, don't be afraid, it's fine. No matter where you are, as long as you stay in the city, you will be protected by Azir."

Afterwards, the whistling sand hit the city wall, and Taliyah heard the whistling wind whistling crazily in her ears, but she didn't feel the wind force at all, as if everything was fake.

As she looked up, she suddenly noticed something unusual in the dark curtain cast by the passing storm.

There was an unusual flash of light in the sky, a shimmering golden light forming a huge shield, or pale golden sky, over the city.This shield appeared at the moment when the storm hit. The golden energy emitted by the inwardly inclined stone pillars around the windbreak dam interweaved into a network over the city, blocking the sand and dust in all directions, even the towering sun The discs were also covered.

"Mother Weaver, have you seen it? It's amazing!" Looking at the magic barrier above her head, Taliyah exclaimed sincerely.

Kahn was also amazed, only to realize that the huge pillar on the windproof dam turned out to be part of the magic circle.The fortifications of ancient Shurima are amazing, blocking the storm from the magic barrier is only an incidental function, and resisting the magic bombing of the mage troops is its real function.

"We're safe." Taliyah breathed a sigh of relief, it felt good to not have to run all the way through the sand.

In fact, she is used to galloping on the slate on the desert, but it is not convenient for her to use this ability when she is with the clansmen. She is a sensitive girl who cares about other people's feelings, so she wants to be ordinary to make it easier for others to accept her.

The surrounding crowd was immersed in an atmosphere of joy, laughter and laughter overshadowed the whistling of sand and dust.The greatness of Shurima's past unfolded before their eyes, and magical magic sheltered them from the storm.They all sighed with emotion that their previous decision to boldly enter the city to survive the tribulation was indeed correct.

"Taliyah, I have something to talk to you alone." Taliyah heard Kahn calling her, and the two ran to the corner in a blink of an eye, beckoning her to go.

After Taliyah greeted the clansmen, she trotted up to the two of them. Seeing Kahn's slightly dignified dark complexion, she couldn't help becoming nervous, and timidly grabbed her cuff and asked, "What's wrong, little master?"

"You're still so shy, didn't you get bullied when you went to the Freljord?"

"No, no, the people there are very enthusiastic." Taliyah shook her head again and again.

Kahn glanced at her suspiciously, and asked about it later.He said to Taliyah, "Put your hand on the wall and hear what the rocks here say."

Taliyah put her hand on the thick wall, and she could feel the pulsation of the earth deep inside, so she knew what happened here, which was the blessing of the Weaver Mother.

The moment her palm touched the city wall, Taliyah let out a low cry, and a terrible pain for no reason engulfed her.

She heard what the rock wanted to tell her—thousands of voices carved into the stone, their lives cut short, scorched shadows etched deep in the rock, the fear and pain of dying Her mind screamed.

"Terrible things have happened here." Taliyah staggered and fell, pulling her hands away from the stone wall.What happened in this city almost broke her.

"Yes, I just want to tell you this, to prevent you from making wrong judgments when you don't understand what happened." Kahn held out his hand to pull Taliyah up, and recalled the tragedy that happened here thousands of years ago told her.

"So that's how it is..." Taliyah nodded thoughtfully. If Kahn didn't tell her this, she would subconsciously have a huge dislike for this city.

These pains engraved in stone will make her feel that this is not a reborn city, but an empty tomb raised in the sand.Azir once made a promise to the people of Shurima, but at the cost of their lives, he is a foolish king.

"You don't have to be afraid of the Ascension Emperor. If you don't like this place, just leave. He won't force you to stay as slaves. You can continue to live your previous life."

"What the little master said is definitely true, so I can rest assured. When I first heard that Azir had returned, I began to fear that the emperor who became a god would enslave the people of Shurima, because the ancient The empire is built on the bloody backs of the slaves. Now it seems that I am thinking too much..." Taliyah squeezed out a smile, and once again thanked Kahn and the others for their concern.

"It was too hasty just now, maybe I missed something."

She slowly plucked up her courage, and stretched out her hand to press against the city wall again.

Thousands of miserable cries engulfed her again, but this time Taliyah was prepared, not overwhelmed by the terrible pain.Through the fluctuations of the rock, she could feel the desperation and fear of the residents in the town when they faced the catastrophe, which was still clearly engraved in the rock even after thousands of years passed.

There seems to be something wrong...Among these voices, there are some calls for help that just happened recently, and they keep coming through the thick city wall.

Startled, Taliyah drew her hands back.

"No, people outside the city are asking for help, I have to save them!"

Chapter 596 The Eagle and the Sparrow

Through the thick city wall, Taliyah heard a group of people clinging to the city wall desperately calling for help. They slapped the city wall, their voices getting weaker and weaker in the violent sandstorm.

This time the storm was too violent, and the practice of huddling with livestock no longer worked.

Taliyah wanted to save this group of people. She closed her eyes, pressed her hands on the ground, felt the pulsation of the bedrock of the earth, and made the rock obey her command... But for some reason, she felt a huge resistance .

She just wants the rocks outside the wall to spin up and turn into a tsunami-like fluid to form a rock fortress that can avoid sandstorms, but the resistance she encounters is like a moat, as if the whole city is against her.

Nothing could stop her, the ground trembled under her feet, and there was the sound of boulders grinding.She's been training so long in the Freljord, and it's time to show the results.

But just as Taliyah was about to burst out, a thick, heavy, claw-like arm resting on her shoulder distracted her.

She smelled a mature animal smell, like unhealed hide.She felt the grip of that hand against her skin, a force so strong it could crush stone and bend iron.

who is it?Taliyah felt very strange. Karn covered in skin armor might have this sense of power, but it was not such a strange smell at all. The smell of void skin armor would make people tremble uncontrollably.

It's just that saving people is the most important thing. Taliyah has no time to think about it. She ignores this arm and continues to gather her energy to weave rocks.

Seeing that Taliyah didn't stop, the claw clenched even more tightly, and the sharp part at the front tore through her thin tunic. Taliyah felt a tingling pain, and also felt that the aura around her began to change. Tensioned, like a bowstring about to snap.

She couldn't concentrate, so the magic was interrupted, and she turned to see who was stopping her, but saw a strange, inhuman figure.

It was a warrior clad from head to toe in golden armor, with a jewel as bright as the spring sky set in the center of his chest armor.The shoulder pads of the armor were carved into the shape of outstretched wings, majestic and majestic, a tawny dust cape and several crimson cloth belts trimmed with gold fluttered in the wind.

He looked down at her, a hawk-beaked helmet shielding his face, his eyes burning with a pale light that made Taliyah feel the heat of the sun on his face.

Taliyah could feel the man's armor lurking with terrifying power, and he looked dangerous, and she knew she should act as if she feared the warrior.But the warrior made no further threats against her, nor did she feel so frightened that she had to fight back.

Then, he spoke.The voice is thick and the accent is unfamiliar.

"Little girl, your power can break the rocks of Shurima. But this is my city, and I cannot let you destroy it."

Taliyah froze for a moment. She noticed that Nasus was standing behind the man, his proud head slightly lowered.Presumably this eagle-like person is the rumored revived Eagle King, which made him willing to take a backseat.

The tense atmosphere was unusually quiet, and people seemed to hold their breath, watching her encounter with Eagle King Azir intently.None of her people came up to stop Azir, because they were rightfully in awe, whether of a god or an emperor.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty... I just want to save people..." Taliyah lowered her head, she had to explain clearly and she couldn't cause trouble for her people.

"Save people?" Azir let go of the paws on Taliyah's shoulders, raised his head thoughtfully, and glanced at the closed city gate: "I have given them a chance, but they will Turned away."

"They regretted it. They are asking for help. They should be given another chance." The heavy pressure on his shoulders disappeared, and Taliyah stood up, facing the tall emperor, who controlled the life and death of everyone inside and outside the city. power.

"Very few people get a second chance. They think maliciously about me, so why should I save them?"

The violent sandstorm scraped across the golden moat, making a dull bombardment sound. Taliyah saw that the golden sunlight was obscured by the storm, just like the haze cast by Azir's proud head.

She gritted her teeth, could it be that the emperor is always so ruthless, that he must take revenge?Rules are dead, but people are alive. Could it be that dozens of lives can be ignored just by showing distrust of you?If the trust of strangers was so easy to obtain, all the good people in this world would have died long ago.

Taliyah took a deep breath and said to Azir: "Before making a choice, everything is unknown, so someone always chooses the wrong one. If they knew the final result of each choice, they would definitely not Choose the wrong choice."

"How can there be such a good thing in the world..." The cold flames in Azir's eyes flickered on and off, and even he, who had died once, had no chance to re-choose the trajectory of his life.

The mistakes you have made cannot be undone, but you can learn from your mistakes, whether it is yourself or others.

"Little girl, you woke me up." Azir raised his golden staff blade and tapped it lightly in the direction of the city gate.

The guards immediately set off for the city gate, and the crowd crowded around the gate immediately gave way to the sand-turned guards. They had no doubt that if they got in the way, these soulless warriors would stab their spears into the city. their bodies.

"I can give them a chance, please give me a chance too, don't damage my city walls, it took me a lot of effort to bring this golden city full of miracles and magic to the sand. "

"Okay...Okay. Your Majesty!" Taliyah was frightened by Azir's 180-degree turn, and nodded repeatedly.
