he came from the void

"Okay..." Kahn withdrew his hand, turned around and asked the boss for a glass of wine, and asked by the way, "Are you closed at night?"

"We will be open until tomorrow morning." The boss quickly filled the large wine glass with beer, and then gently pushed it in front of Kahn without spilling any beer.

"That's good." Kahn picked up the wine glass, beckoned Kasha Anne to leave the bar, and found another corner to sit down again.He put his arm on the wine table and said to Kaisha, "Just spend the night here tonight."

"Listen to you." She reached out and touched Annie's head. The little girl's milk jug was still full, and such a big jug was enough for her to drink for a long time.

Seeing that the three of them were just sitting and drinking milk and drinking, occasionally whispering a few words in a low voice, the other guests in the tavern also knew what they wanted to be quiet, so they lowered their volume spontaneously, and the sound of clinking glasses and drinking horns in the tavern gradually faded away. Disappeared, only whispered conversations continued.

The rain outside the house showed no sign of stopping, Kaisha was tired, so she hugged Kahn's arm, leaned her face on his shoulder, closed her eyes and took a nap.

In such a noisy environment, it is impossible to truly fall asleep. You can only close your eyes and rest your mind to minimize the consequences of staying up late.

On the other hand, the young Annie had no intention of going to sleep, and was having a great time playing a game of asking and answering questions with Tibbers.

Kahn hugged Kaisha like this, while watching Annie tease herself, wandering away.

Without paying attention, a flame burst out of Annie's hand. Kahn, who came back to his senses, pressed her hand and asked her what to do.Kaisha was also awakened by Kahn's movement, opened her eyes and looked at them in doubt.

"The milk is cold, I want to warm it up." Annie said innocently, blinking her eyes.

"In this way, just ask the boss to heat it for you." As he spoke, he called the boss over and asked him to bring the milk jug to heat it.

Kahn originally thought that Annie was getting angry. His first impression of Annie was not good. When he saw her playing with fire, he was very worried that something would happen, because she couldn't control her own strength at all.

"Here comes the milk, be careful it's hot."

"Thank you." Annie took the milk jug, turning a blind eye to the scalding heat on the jug, and took a sip immediately while holding it in the palm of her hand.The boss stared blankly, then looked at the thick gloves on his hands, and silently retreated behind the bar.

While drinking, Kahn suddenly remembered something, and asked Annie: "Did you set the fire last night?"

"It's raining and it's too cold. I wanted to light a fire to keep warm, but I lost control." Annie hugged Tibbers tightly.

"Sure enough." Kahn thought to himself, the mountain fire that can burn on a rainy night can only be a flame caused by magic.Before that, he had no idea that the matter dealt with by the district chief of Fort Drever turned out to be an accident caused by a little girl.

"Do you know you're wrong? You can't control your power yet." Kahn noticed that Annie seemed to be in trouble wherever she went.Some troubles came to her, while others were caused intentionally or unintentionally by herself.

Judging from her attitude towards the violent incident just now, although Anne looks sweet and cute, her heart is not the same. This may be a black-bellied brat who has already had many lives in her hands.

"So I didn't light the fire tonight."

"Then come to borrow fire from us." Kai'Sa joined their conversation.

Chapter 611 Lolicon is by my side

"Hmm." Annie nodded. She was indeed attracted by the flames, so she took the initiative to approach Kahn and the others.

She could feel the difference between the Eternal Flame and other flames, and she was so fascinated by it that she even forgot that the icy rain was pouring down on her head.

Flame is Anne's favorite toy, so one can imagine how much the eternal flame is attracted to her.

"Annie, can you tell me something about you?" Kaisha propped her face sideways with one hand, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, showing a friendly and lovely expression.

"What do you want to know?"

"For example, how did you get your talent?" Kai'Sa asked.

There are many mysteries in Annie, and if she doesn't ask, she will never understand.

Annie tilted her head and thought for a while. "It seems to be because of my mother, they all said she was a witch, so our family moved into the Black Forest to live. Otherwise, I would have been born in the Immortal Fortress, and I would be a member of the imperial capital."

The last few years of Darkwill's reign saw unprecedented turmoil in Noxus.Fearing that they would be involved in a conspiracy between nobles for power, many people with magical powers left the capital and made their home in relatively peaceful remote provinces.

Annie's mother, Amoline, did just that. They settled in the Black Forest to the north of the Ironthorn Mountains. Before their first child was born, they built a hut before winter came.The teddy bear Tibbers was also sewn at this time. It was a gift that the mother sewed by herself for her daughter, and has been with Annie since she was born.

"So it was inherited from your mother, so why didn't she teach you to control your own talents?" It stands to reason that a mother should teach a good child how to protect himself and learn to use a series of skills.If the daughter is talented and she can also use magic, then it would be even better to teach her.

"Mom passed away early."

"Uh..." Kaisha choked, and heard Annie continue: "When I hadn't learned to speak, once my father and I were sick and had a fever. My body was so hot that I couldn't even hug it. Went to the river to get cold water. But after that, she disappeared."

She hugged Tibbers, the only memory of her mother, and her only playmate.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and when Kaisha organized her words and tried to comfort her, she found that Annie had fallen asleep with her teddy bear's head on her pillow.

Looking at her thin and small skirt, Kaisha gently took off the warm coat she was wearing and put it on her.

"Poor child." Kaisha sighed, snatched Kahn's big wine glass and took a deep sip, put it down lightly, and then put her head in his arms, not knowing what she was thinking.

Kahn took a sip of his wine and said lightly, "Annie's fever is due to her awakened talent, which is why her body is so hot. I know a person who also developed a high fever because of suppressing her talent for a long time, and almost died."

Kai'Sa knew that Karn was referring to Taliyah, and they were there.But she didn't understand why Annie's father was an ordinary person, why he had a fever with Annie, and why her mother had to leave.

Will she have to make a huge sacrifice in order to heal her daughter and her husband?There are too few clues based on Anne's dictation of the cause and the consequences, and it is impossible to know.

"I think Annie needs someone to teach her how to control her magic." Kai'Sa said to Kahn seriously, "This person should be her missing biological mother."

"Where can I find a woman who has been missing for nearly ten years, and there is still no clue." Kahn pinched her cheek and tugged, he felt that Kaisha was a little bit overflowing with maternal love.

Anyway, Anne is also a passer-by I met by chance, so I don't care what to do.And she could have lived alone in the Black Forest, even if she hadn't met them.

With Tibbers around, no one can bully Annie.However, Kaisha wanted Annie to live a better life, and he also understood, otherwise there would be no charity organization like an orphanage in this world.

"I know it's impractical, but it's not easy to find a family who is willing to adopt her and can teach her magic. She is still young, and we can't copy Taliyah's plan to her and let her go. Survive alone in the wild in the frozen lands of the Freljord."

"Just send it to the Imperial Farm." The troublesome situation made Kahn feel irritable, and he even drank alcohol, and his speech was a little drifting.

"How can you say such a thing?" Kaisha became anxious after hearing this, and grabbed Kahn's waist mercilessly: "Do you want her to go to the battlefield like Riven in the future? Appearing in the invasion of Ioni The armies of Ya or Shurima? Slaughter the innocent people?"

"I'll just say that casually, don't take it seriously..." Kahn suddenly remembered what happened to another girl, and felt that what he said was really inappropriate.

As far as he knew, a girl who was born to manipulate steel was sent by her parents to study magic in a secret academy run by the Black Rose organization.

She was forced to fight and train with other gifted children, constantly honing her magical abilities through armed combat, but strangely, she never saw anyone she lost after fighting her.And every time she defeats an opponent, a magical imprint will be carved into her arm with pain, making her stronger.

However, the truth is cruel - all her former opponents were "destroyed".

Their magic was forcibly drawn and infused into those marks on her body.The former opponents have been reduced to emotionless puppets, without any memory in their minds.That was the price of her power, and she could never get it back.

But according to the current timeline, this girl who can manipulate steel should not have discovered the inside story of the academy, so she hasn't completely broken with the academy, family, and empire.

And this is what Kahn is worried about, if Black Rose discovers Anne's powerful talent.Whether she becomes the second girl to train, or becomes the opponent of the first girl, it is extremely unfortunate.

"So we have to settle her properly," Kaisha said.

"Wait..." Kahn suddenly woke up, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Kai'Sa meaningfully: "You don't want to adopt her, do you?"

Kai'Sa was caught in her thoughts, and immediately hesitated: "That me... Aren't we going to the Freljord? I think we can take her for a ride, and bring her back after she learns to control herself. "

"Why didn't I realize you were a lolicon before." Kahn raised his forehead, since the moment they first returned to human society, Kai'Sa always had a special affection for little girls.

"What is Lolicon?" Kai'Sa blinked.

"It's nothing, it's really wrong to let an ignorant child to fend for himself, but whether to follow us or not depends on Annie's wishes, you can ask her yourself."

Chapter 612 The First Lesson of the Ice Field

After listening to Kahn's words, Kaisha glanced at Annie who was sleeping soundly with the teddy bear in her arms.

"Let's wait until she wakes up to ask."

The tavern was extremely quiet tonight, the rain outside had stopped at some point, and when Kaisha woke up, the large wine glass in front of Kahn was already empty.He was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't refill his glass, and sat on the chair for her all night.

A sense of warmth surged from the bottom of her heart, and Kaisha, who was in a good mood, got up and moved her slightly numb limbs, and helped Kahn press the shoulder that had been pillowed by her all night.

Then she looked at the unfinished milk in Annie's jug, and went to the tavern owner to heat it up. When the milk was heated up, Annie just woke up.

Annie, who had just woken up, was still in a daze. When she saw the ready-made hot milk in front of her, she picked it up and drank it without saying thank you. She drank it in sips.

"Annie, a new day has arrived. Do you have any plans for yourself? Is there any place you want to go?"

Kai'Sa didn't get straight to the point, but made a side note first. If Annie has a place to go, then forget about it.

Annie shook her head: "Tibbers and I have been wandering in the forest, and sometimes we meet kind-hearted uncles and aunts to take us in, but we will soon leave or be driven away for various reasons."

After she finished speaking, she continued to drink milk without paying attention to it at all.

"For various reasons, tsk tsk..." Kahn smacked his tongue meaningfully, which shows that Annie is a troublesome person, and those colonists who came to the border from the imperial capital are afraid to avoid it.

"Then we are going to the Freljord, do you want to follow?" Kai'Sa asked again.

"Okay." Annie thought for a while, and then answered very simply.

"Do you really understand what we're talking about?" Kahn asked.Can a ten-year-old really understand the choices he makes?

Annie looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was emphasizing: "If you encounter those savages, I will ask Tibbers to help you beat them away!"

Kahn didn't have anything to say here, and reminded Kaisha: "Go back to Fort Drever and buy some clothes for Annie."

Leaving the tavern, Annie followed the two into the city. She happily chose a blue and white padded jacket, changed into a thin skirt, and hid her ears in the fur balls of her felt hat.She put on fingerless gloves, and replaced the small round-toed leather shoes with thick snow boots, making her more cute than less cute.Just to keep concealment in the snow, the winter clothes don't have her favorite red, otherwise she would definitely choose a red suit.

All of these were bought by Annie with her own money. At a young age, she had already achieved "financial independence". On this issue, she insisted on not accepting favors from others, and even wanted to give Kahn travel expenses.

Leaving Drever Castle again, the three of them descended along the northern slope of the Ironthorn Mountains, leaving the border of Noxus and entering the border of the Freljord.

From the beginning of the descent, the snow on the ground began to increase.By the time they came to this mountain road, the snow was already waist deep.

This fifteen-mile-long downhill road was built by the imperial general Darius during Darkwill's time.Now Darius has been invited to join the Trifari Council of Three, promoted to Hand of Noxus, the embodiment of the might of the Empire.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, which is a terrain that is easy to be ambushed. Kahn's eyes are fixed on the sky, alert to suspicious figures that may appear on the cliff at any time.

"It's not like someone is ambushing us right now. We're just traveling with three people, and it's not a planned large-scale march. How could it be such a coincidence." Seeing that Kahn's attention has not been on her, Kaisha couldn't help saying For a moment, let him not think too much.

Worrying about this and that every day, aren't you tired?With their ability, even if a whole army comes, they are not afraid, why are they so cautious.

"I'm not sure, what if I'm unlucky." The extremely cold weather made Kahn wear a scarf and cover his mouth deliberately, so his voice was muffled.

The Freljord is not a nation, and tribes struggle to survive in this harsh, unforgiving land.Because of the scarcity of local resources and the solidification of ideology, some of these tribes will unscrupulously plunder the neighboring countries, thinking that only the strong deserve to enjoy everything.

Therefore, in the border area, it is easy to run into these barbaric marauders.Back then, Darius built this mountain road to defend against these invading barbarians.

"Better than this, you might as well care about our mounts. They are shaking, don't you feel it?"

As Kai'Sa said, the horses under them were not the tall horse breeds native to the north, and they did not adapt to this environment after they brought the Freljord.They can't wear thick clothes like humans. They shiver in the cold climate, breathe heavily, and their manes shake like a sieve.

"Their legs are almost broken from the cold." Annie said with a smile. "If they don't have feet, no one can force them to walk."

"You can't walk on the ground, the height of the snow can bury you, unless you want to swim in the snow." Annie's laugh made the atmosphere suddenly a little weird, and Kahn had to joke with Annie.

"I can't swim." Annie answered seriously.

"Then wait until we find a new means of transportation, and then I'll let the horse go."

As soon as the words fell, there was a booming sound from above.Because he was distracted by Kai'Sa, Kahn failed to notice the abnormalities around him in the first place.

Two giant white blankets were shaken from the cliffs on both sides above their heads, filling the mountain path almost instantly.

Groups of huge and solid snow blocks poured down, smashed in the middle of the two horses, surrounded them, and swallowed them in one bite.

Kahn originally thought that the greatest threat would be the barbarians from the Freljord, but unexpectedly, the environment here is also extremely dangerous for outsiders who are not familiar with the situation.He shrank back, but it still felt like he was directly knocked over by the charging dragon lizard.First the roaring horror, the terrible weightlessness—then the darkness, pressing down with Winter.

Annie's presence made Kahn hesitate, and he didn't have time to cover the skin armor, but the avalanche didn't overwhelm Kahn.He crawled out of the snow, shook off the snow on his body, and then looked around blankly.

Kai'Sa was nowhere to be seen, and she must have been buried in the snow as well.Kahn's heart trembled, and he began to dig people in the surrounding snow.

Relying on the induction between the void skin armors, Kahn dug out Kai'Sa in the snow.When he found her, she was holding Anne tightly, and she was not hurt at all.But the two horses they were riding had already frozen into lumps of ice.

"The first lesson Ice Field taught us is never to put yourself under the threat of an avalanche." Looking at the frozen corpse of the horse, Kahn couldn't help sighing, but he didn't know who he was speaking to.

Chapter 613 Tibbers

Having lost his means of transportation, Kahn decided to walk the mountain road with Kaisha on Annie's back.

Waist-deep snow made it difficult for them to walk, and they hadn't finished the distance by the end of the evening.The snow had soaked Kahn's boots, and with each step he could feel the icy water squeeze from heel to toe, like a skinning knife scraping across the soles of his feet.

He began to wonder if his toes were black, because at this time he had lost much feeling in his feet.

"I shouldn't have brought Anne with me." Kahn thought to himself, he already regretted it.Because they were worried about scaring Annie, they couldn't use the skin armor at will, otherwise no matter how bad the weather was, they wouldn't be able to affect them.

"Do you want to confess to Anne as soon as possible? Anyway, sooner or later you will know."

Just as he was thinking this way, a huge monster broke into his field of vision.

It is covered in rough fur, and the mane on its head and back has been frozen into a crown of ice.Its scarred face is full of vicissitudes and resentment, the most conspicuous are two milky white fangs, and a puckered, stubby nose.

"What a big pig!" Annie cried out, excitedly kicking Kahn on the back twice.

"This is the Juvask wild boar." Kahn explained with a happy expression on his face.

When the opportunity came, he could use this opportunity to naturally lead to the fact that they had the Void Skin Armor, so the next action would not have to be so difficult.

The huge Juvask wild boar stomped around in the snow, rummaging for something. The waist-deep snow could barely cover half of its hooves.Panting heavily, it exhaled wisps of frosty mist, searching for food by smell. It smelled things buried under the snow, but it hadn't discovered their existence yet.
