he came from the void

She saw that the majestic gate was slowly opened by the guards, and the storm outside the city poured in crazily, and the furious wind and sand hit the face painfully, and those who didn't raise their hands in time to block it were immediately scratched with blood on their faces.

In this regard, Nasus, who had been silent by Azir's side, moved.The governor of the desert crossed the golden threshold facing the wind and sand. He walked outside the city and disappeared in the wind and sand. A muffled growl came from the chaos, which overshadowed the howling sound of the sandstorm.

The wind and sand all over the sky seemed to have paused and weakened a lot.

Not long after, Nasus led a group of extremely embarrassed people back to the city, and the magnificent city gate closed behind them, once again resisting the storm.

Chapter 597 What I saw in my dream

Looking at the strangely embarrassed strangers, Taliyah recognized those who had gathered outside the city to try to weather the storm.

Their clothes were torn by the wind and sand, and their exposed skin was even scratched with blood. None of the accompanying livestock was brought back, and they were all abandoned in the storm.They hugged each other and wept bitterly, rejoicing that they escaped from death, or thanking the Ascended for their rescue.

Taliyah's eyes couldn't help getting wet. Although she didn't know if all of them had entered, she was already very satisfied to save so many people.

"Why are you crying?"

"I got sand in my eyes, I'm sorry to make you laugh." Taliyah quickly wiped her eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness on their behalf."

Taliyah thanked Azir from the bottom of her heart, trying everything she could to slow her racing heart.At this moment, she felt that the person in front of her was not an emperor, but a friend who could talk freely about the past and the present.

Azir didn't say anything, just nodded and returned to the city with Nasus, and the guards returned to their posts.While his figure disappeared from sight, the sandstorm also seemed to be receding.

"Taliyah, you saved them." Kai'Sa came over and patted Taliyah's shoulder.

"It was His Majesty Azir who saved them." Taliyah corrected, "In my opinion, he is a good emperor."

After experiencing this incident, some people in the crowd have begun to worship Azir, calling him "Father Eagle", wishing Father Eagle to protect them with his generous wings.Taliyah saved someone as she wished, and Azir earned a good name for it.

It can be predicted that there will be many fanatical pilgrims flocking to this golden city.

……

Taking the water bag, Taliyah came to the source of the Mother of Life, filled a full bag at the fountain in the square, and drank it happily in one breath.

The water here is so clear that she can't imagine, even the snow water boiled with snow in the tundra is not so refreshing.And this was more precious than gold in Shurima in the past, but now it is at the mercy of anyone.

This was the prospect of prosperity, Taliyah couldn't help thinking.

"Water and shade, sister." A woman who also came to fill the water greeted Taliyah. She had a typical Shurima face and saw Taliyah begging the emperor for help.

"I'll give you water and shade." Taliyah said goodbye to the woman, looking at the direction in which the woman was leaving, replaced by Kahn and the two who were walking towards her.

"The water here is so delicious, it's cleaner than the one flowing outside." Taliyah said with emotion: "In the past, we could only drink the muddy water in the riverbed, the same water that livestock drank."

"After drinking saliva, I start to remember bitterness and sweetness." Kahn smiled, and looked up and down at Taliyah, looking for any decorations brought back from the ice field. "How was your time in the Freljord? Was it difficult?"

"It's both good and bad." Taliyah wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth and recalled: "Since the last time we parted, I followed my little master's instructions to go to Valoran, across half of Noxus to Frey Eldrod. All the way I hid my abilities from the Noxians."

Kahn nodded for her to continue, and Kai'Sa acted as a quiet listener.

"When I finally came to the Freljord via Drever Castle and was ready to hone my talents, I fell ill because I didn't adapt to the local climate."

From a place full of sand to another place covered with snow all the year round, severe climate changes can easily lead to disease in the human body. Taliyah is a typical acclimatization. Her unremarkable height and flat nose made her inhale The air in the lungs is cold.

"I had a fever, so I used magic to make a cave in the mountains to hide in. The food I stored was a hare that I hunted in the snow when I first arrived. Thanks to Zhimu, I didn't have to drag my tired body out to hunt."

"I rested in the cave for two days, but not only did my condition not improve, but it became more and more serious. I was dizzy and even had hallucinations. I saw Sister Kasha appearing in front of me. At the same time, I also found that I'm running out of firewood and I'd freeze to death without a fire in this cold weather, so I had to go out and look for firewood."

"I carried a pile of firewood back in the woods. I was so tired that I almost fainted, and I felt thirsty again. I went out to fetch some snow and came back to boil water. It was burning like this. I looked at the dancing flames and completely fainted. Unconscious."

"So serious?" Kai'Sa's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt deeply remorseful.Taliyah was only a child and a half when she went to the ice field, so it was too difficult for her.

Taliyah shook her head helplessly. Going to the Freljord was her choice, and Karn just gave a suggestion.And if she doesn't learn to control her abilities, she won't be able to live with her clansmen in peace.

"In a trance, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was lying on the endless ice, with the frozen sea beneath me." Taliyah shuddered as she spoke, and subconsciously wiped the nonexistent snot .

"The setting sun, which never falls, outlines the silhouette of the woman riding a monstrous beast of frost, bone, and black magic, draped in rich robes like freshly fallen snow. A horned hood conceals the It made her eyes look like she was looking up at the stars."

"Lissandra?" Kahn narrowed his eyes.

Taliyah froze for a moment, surprised that Kahn said her name, and continued: "Yes, that witch said her name with two chapped black lips, her name is Lissandra."

"What did she ask you for? Did she fancy your talent? Or..." Kahn warned, this blind frost witch did have the ability to enter other people's dreams.

Taliyah shook her head: "Didn't we have a big battle with Malzahar before? When I first arrived in the Freljord, I was still thinking about that battle - why is there a void underground? ?Why did the mages of Icathia discover the void from an earthquake? Did the void exist in our world in the first place? If not, how did they come to our world?"

"I don't know the answers to these questions. But I think Lissandra might have seen my thoughts, and then entered my dream to talk to me."

"..." Kahn opened his mouth, but did not speak.

He knew very well that Lissandra was the culprit who caused the Void to invade Runeterra, and these things were also the truth that she had tried her best to cover up.

"So what did she tell you?"

Chapter 598 The Frost Witch

Facing Kahn's question, Taliyah shook her head: "She didn't say anything, she just made a gorgeous appearance, and then let me live a good life, saying that I will see you next time, and then I woke up from the dream."

When Taliyah woke up, she found that the fever had subsided. She associated with what she saw in the dream, and she thought it was the witch who helped her reduce the fever. As for what method she used, she didn't know.

She thanked the witch in her heart, and then she started to do what she had to do in Freljord—no longer restraining her abilities, soaring to her heart's content in the uninhabited mountains, exercising her ability to control her talents, or create or destroy.

The Freljord is a land of magic, and the earth here responds to her, allowing her to appropriate the power deep within the rock formations.During that time, Taliyah changed the terrain of a surrounding mountain range beyond recognition, and the nearby natives fled this troubled testing ground one after another, thinking that the ancient gods brought disasters here.

Taliyah manipulated the rock, ripping it from the depths of the snow and weaving it into the desired shape.But her magic power is too strong, she is not enough to control such a huge magic power, she always makes mistakes from time to time, creating unexpected disasters.

For example, once, it snowed heavily for three days, and Taliyah, who had eaten up all her food, had to go out to look for food. She met a snow rabbit that was looking for food on the mountainside, and she was lying in ambush not far away, trying to beat her with a slingshot and stones. After getting rid of these vigilant snow rabbits, they encountered two Frostfang wolves who also came out to look for food.

Even on all fours, they made Taliyah feel overwhelmingly oppressive.

These giant wolves are obviously magical creatures unique to the ice field. They are as huge as a full-grown bull, and are almost twice her height from head to tail. The icy magic of the dragon can make people lose their resistance with just one bite.The ice-like eyes only need one look to make people feel like falling into an ice cellar, and the ends of the thick fur even form sharp icicles.

Northern predators know that the easiest prey are those caught in the cold of winter.

At this time, Taliyah was suffering from hunger and cold, unable to lift much strength, so she was an excellent hunting target.

Taliyah wants to have a snow rabbit for dinner, and the two giant wolves not only want to have her for dinner, but even the snow rabbit.

The two giant wolves ran up, easily bit the fleeing snow rabbit, and then pinched Taliyah one after the other.They stared at her, put down the fresh snow rabbit in their mouths, stretched out their tongues thicker than her forearm, and licked the blood off their fangs.

For this kind of target that has never been hunted before, the giant wolf did not show the same decisiveness as it faced the snow rabbit, and it seemed that it had to observe before deciding whether to shoot or not.

Taliyah was terrified. Judging by the speed the giant wolves displayed, if she turned and ran away, they would have no trouble knocking her down.So she tried to push back the panic that was in her throat and yelled at them, trying to scare them away with a bluff.

The intimidation was fruitless, so Taliyah counterattacked with the slingshot in her hand, but hitting the giant wolf's thick fur was like scratching an itch.Two giant wolves rushed over, and Taliyah finally remembered that she was a mage, and instinctively used the great elemental power hidden in her body.

Two huge granite pillars suddenly protruded from her feet, pushing away the charging giant wolves. One of them was directly pierced through the breastbone and died on the spot.The other howled miserably, and also fled from Taliyah.

Looking at the corpse of the giant wolf on the blood-stained snow, Taliyah was in a trance for a while because of her excitement. She felt a tremor in her chest, and she couldn't help wondering if her beating heart was about to burst out of her body.

Then she realized that it wasn't her illusion, and Taliyah's fugue was interrupted by a crack, which soon turned into a low rumble.

There was a terrible tremor from the ground under his feet, the thick layer of snow rubbed against the rocks violently, and the rumbling soon turned into a continuous piercing whistling.Taliyah looked towards the top of the mountain, and suddenly saw a towering snow wall rushing toward her.

It turned out that the battle just now broke the thick snow layer and caused the avalanche.

Taliyah, who encountered this situation for the first time, was in a hurry, but unexpectedly thought of the little animal hiding in the cave safely in her mind.Doing all she could to gather herself together, she pictured thick ridges rising from the rock.A row of huge stone railings suddenly bulged and rushed into the air.

The rock formations were high above her head, and the avalanche rushed right in front of her, and slammed heavily on the new-born hillside, sending out a thunderous rumble.

But Taliyah obviously underestimated the power of the avalanche, the stone wall was overwhelmed, and she was buried by a huge waterfall of sparkling snow.The deadly Bai Lian enveloped her in an instant, and she lost consciousness in the turbulence of the torrent.

Taliyah once again came to the ice sea in the dream, and Lissandra appeared again.

The appearance of the Frost Witch in her dreams is always wonderful.This time she walked out of a huge vertical ice coffin. Strictly speaking, it was not walking. The ice clusters under her feet rose one after another. As long as she stood on it and stabilized her figure, she would be surrounded by the newly grown ice clusters. Push forward.

Taliyah couldn't see her legs under her gorgeous dress, but Lissandra moved in such a way that it seemed as if her legs had grown out of ice, making her walk steady.It reminded Taliyah of what Kahn had taught her to walk on instead of two feet, on slithering stone slabs.

It seemed that every time Taliyah encountered misfortune, she would dream of the Frost Witch appearing, making her seem like the goddess of misfortune, and Taliyah once prayed that she would never see her again.

And she seemed to know what happened, she came up to Taliyah and told Taliyah that stones are actually similar to ice, they are a kind of element, and told her how to control the elements, and then left after talking on her own up.

Taliyah had no chance to talk to Lissandra in the middle of the night in the dream, and she seemed to be speechless in the dream.Lissandra's eyes are covered by a hood, and Taliyah has never felt the focus of her gaze on her, so every dream seems to her like a bystander, who can only silently watch everything unfold .

When she awoke to find herself buried in the snow, the collapsed rocks arching horns above her head, leaving a space, she did not suffocate.

But the crisis was not resolved. She felt the whole body was freezing cold, her limbs lost temperature, and she even wanted to fall asleep again.

Taliyah knew that she would not be able to wake up once she fell asleep again, so she tried to do what Lissandra taught in her dream. Although she couldn't control the surrounding ice and snow, the cold and numbness all over her body disappeared miraculously.

Chapter 599 Extreme Ice Fragments

According to Professor Lissandra's method, Taliyah eliminated the feeling of cold and numbness, and no longer shivered.But she knew it was just an illusion, her body was still suffering from hunger and cold.She had to move right away and get back to the warmth of the campfire.

After her senses were shielded from the cold, Taliyah regained her mobility, thanks in part to Lissandra.If her body keeps giving her a cold feeling, then she must not be able to walk.Taliyah stopped by to pick up the snow rabbit killed by the giant wolf, which was a small consolation in the misfortune.

When Taliyah returned to the cave, the feeling of falling into an ice cellar returned to her body again, but she had already built a bonfire and set up a barbecue.Taliyah, who escaped the catastrophe, recalled what happened in her dream. She had always had a hard time imagining what Karn said about sliding on the rock, but after seeing Lissandra, she suddenly had a general idea.

After the snow fell, she went to experiment with her new ideas, and the results were not bad.At the same time, she also found that following what Lissandra taught her made it easier to control the rock.

Lissandra's unreasonable help made Taliyah feel puzzled. At this time, she didn't know what Lissandra's real purpose was.

Taliyah continued to practice in the ice and snow of the Freljord, and began to meet some local people, some good and some bad, but none of them made any friendship.

Through them, Taliyah gradually understood some of the current situation in the Freljord.For example, the two largest tribes, Avarosa and Winter's Claw, are rapidly rising. The two Warmothers have conflicting ideas. There must be a battle between the two. She had better not get involved and continue her career on the edge. Just practice.

A Frost shaman wearing a goat-skull helmet expressed interest in her abilities and invited her to visit their tribe.Taliyah asked and found out that this Frost Shaman came from Frostguard Fortress, and Frost Witch Lissandra is the master of Frostguard Fortress and the matriarch of the tribe. All the Frostguards obey her and follow her will act.

Although Lissandra helped her twice, Taliyah still rejected the shaman's invitation, because the sheepskin map Karn gave her specially marked several places that should not be approached, including the Frostguard Fortress.Taliyah trusted Karn even more, and she began to feel that it was beneficial for Lissandra to help her.

On the night of parting from the shaman, Lissandra fell asleep again, this time in a rich robe, as beautiful as the first snow.She asked Taliyah why she didn't want to go to Frostguard, where a place was reserved for her.

Taliyah found that she could talk this time, but she had trouble answering Lissandra's questions.So she asked Lissandra why she did this to her.

"The dark is laughing," she said, "and it says to me 'Frost and lies are means of the end.' On the spears! Otherwise the howls and songs of the cold wind will only be sung to the ever-collapsing abyss..."

Lissandra told Taliyah the fable, and Taliyah left before Lissandra could figure it out.She didn't know what this meant, but she could only guess that Lissandra had encountered a powerful enemy that was difficult to deal with, and perhaps needed her help?

After waking up from the dream, Taliyah continued to practice in the Freljord. She would still dream of Lissandra from time to time one night, and the same fable was told to her in different dreams.

The dream was very obscure at the beginning, but afterward, she felt the pattern and began to understand what Lissandra wanted to express.

Once Taliyah dreamed that the frozen land turned into mountains covered with gray frost, and a black sun rose in the sky, watching it like a huge eye, casting a long shadow on the earth.

This land is a twisted Freljord, devoid of all life and magic...

Lissandra, on the other hand, became an eternal being, towering behind a black sun, her hair fluttering to the sky, her eyes were clear and bright, crystal blue, shining with the energy of the heavens.

She is the last dawn of this world. The goddess is struggling to push the black sun back below the horizon. The black fireball resists and burns the goddess' fingers.

Taliyah was stunned. The desolate land in her dream gave her a terrible sense of familiarity. She had seen the land where the void had ravaged, and it probably gave her this feeling.

She asked Lissandra if she was facing an enemy from the Void, and Lissandra nodded.But when Taliyah asked what kind of enemy she was, she told Taliyah nothing.

At that time, Taliyah had almost cultivated and was able to skillfully use her natural abilities.She misses her clan members all the time, and can't wait to go home.

Knowing that the enemy is a powerful force in the void, Taliyah bluntly said that her ability can't help Lissandra, but she knows people who are more professional than her, and she will seek their advice and try to get them to help Lissandra.

Lissandra kept Taliyah in touch and gave her a small ice crystal pendant.The moment Taliyah took over the pendant, she was awakened by the icy cold pain in her palm.

She spread her palms, and found that the things in the dream were brought out, lying on her palms.

The pendant made of extreme ice shards continuously exudes a coldness ten thousand times colder than the cold wind in the Freljord, as if the low temperature that can freeze time is constantly stinging her palm.She quickly found a piece of cloth to wrap it up, never daring to touch it directly with her skin again.

As Taliyah said, she took out a cloth bag and handed it to Karn.

Kahn took the cloth bag solemnly, and slowly opened it, revealing the pendant inside.

The sunlight seemed to be frozen, and his eyes also seemed to be frozen, staring at the pendant.

A black ice crystal was exuding an eternal coldness, and this biting coldness penetrated through layers of fabric, stinging his hand.This is not pure cold, the ice is exuding power.

"Dark Ice..." Kahn said solemnly the material of this pendant.

"Are the pendant and the ice at Lissandra's feet dark ice?" Taliyah asked.

Kahn shook his head and didn't answer her question.

"Taliyah, you've done a good job. Leave this to us." He put away the pendant and praised Taliyah's decision.

He knew very well that the professionals at Taliya Pass were referring to them, and only the Void could deal with the Void.

Taliyah didn't continue on this topic, she asked Kahn: "Little Master, what is the reason you are looking for me?"

"We also came to you because of the void."

Chapter 600 Forbidden Tales

"Is there another person like Malzahar whose mind has been eroded by the void?" Taliyah nervously clenched her water bag tightly. If she encounters that kind of battle again, she will definitely be more useful than last time.
