he came from the void

They lay uneasy on the ground, snorting in protest at the chains and saddles tied to their bodies.The green scales are as hard as steel, and the trunk-like limbs and python-like tail are connected by bulging muscles. Each one is bigger than the Juvask wild boar, and it can trample an adult into a pulp with just one move.

Kahn bypassed the dragon lizards, went to the rear of the convoy, casually asked a loading worker, "Is Captain Gregan there?"

"It's the one with the red curly hair."

Kahn followed the prompts and found Gregan, who was instructing the workers to move the goods.

"Captain Gregor." Kahn called out tentatively. The other party watched them approach and looked at them with scrutiny: "What do you want from me? Tell me, don't you see that I am very busy? "

Kai'Sa remained silent. She felt the other person's eyes rest on her face for a while, and she frowned slightly.I don't know if the other party saw something, just when she was about to look at him and plant fear, Gregor just averted his eyes again.

"It's like this. We want to go to the imperial capital to join relatives. I don't know if it is convenient to give us a ride." Kahn said.

"Want to take a ride? Yes, is the money ready?" Gregor stuffed something into his mouth, and he spoke vaguely while chewing, but there was no ink stain at all, which made Kahn feel a little better.

"How much?" he asked.

"Five coins a person."

Kahn handed over ten Noxus coins, Gregan weighed them in his hand, grinned and stuffed them into his trouser pocket.

"Your seats are at the back of the car. The convoy is about to leave. I'll give you 10 minutes to prepare your bags. You won't wait if you're late."

"Okay." Kahn led Kai'Sa back away.

The time is quite urgent, if they go to the hotel and come back, they will definitely not be able to catch up in time. Fortunately, they are used to going out and taking everything with them, so they don't need to go back.

The two came to the rear of the convoy, only to find that the so-called seats were actually the tailgates of the transport vehicles.The car was so full of steel that it couldn't be moved, leaving no room for them except for the fender.

Moreover, this "throne" is still in the open air, with no cover at all on the head, and it is exposed to the sun, wind, and rain.The only good news is that no one is crowded with them in this small space of less than two square meters.

"This... I feel like I've been cheated." Kahn sat up, the size of the baffle was not enough for him to put his whole leg on it, even if he lay down sideways, there would be a part of his leg hanging in the air.

"I also think that this treatment is not worth the money we paid at all." Kaisha echoed, but she immediately shut her mouth when footsteps came from behind her.

She spoke in her own voice just now, and it would be bad if she was overheard.

Afraid of what to come, she turned her head and saw that the person had red curly hair and his temples were shaved. It wasn't Gregor.

"Captain Gregor." Kahn greeted him, drawing his attention away.

Gregan didn't seem to notice anything unusual, he nodded and said: "I forgot to tell you, this time the goods are quite full, and there are not many places left for you. You can choose to sit on the dragon lizard's back, or stay here , I’ll refund you the money.”

"Let's continue to make the rear of the car." In order to reduce the possibility of Kaisha being exposed, Kahn chose to stay at the rear of the car where no one noticed.

"Okay." Gregor nodded, took out two coins from his pocket and gave them to Kahn, and then patted him on the shoulder familiarly: "Then bear with it, it will be much better to get on the cargo ship at Drune Pier .”

After speaking, he left, inexplicably feeling a little chic.

"This person... doesn't seem to be that bad." After he left, Kaisha dared to speak out.

Kahn looked at the two coins in his hand and replied: "But don't be bought easily, you should be more careful when you go out."

Later, when the convoy set off, the dragon lizard was not walking fast, and it kept killing Kahn's eager heart.He was sitting on the baffle, his legs dangling with the rolling of the wheels, like an old man who had nothing to do with the world.

Looking up at the sky, the clouds are gloomy, and then there may be freezing rain, and they will have nowhere to hide.

Thinking of this, Kahn couldn't help but sighed.

"Don't sigh, I think it's quite leisurely." Kaisha comforted her and fell into Kahn's arms, not worrying about the weather at all.

Kahn glanced left and right at no one before letting her continue to lie down, otherwise people would be suspicious of seeing the two men so intimately next to each other.Homosexuality is still a rare phenomenon in this world. Most people will definitely think that one of them is the opposite sex when they see this situation, and then they will reveal their secrets.

Looking at her dirty face, Kahn said, "Aren't you afraid that the rain will wash away all the soot on your face?"

"I'm afraid it will be of no use, so I got into the car and take one step at a time."

After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes peacefully.

The wheels rolled, leading them all the way eastward.

About a day after they left Fort Drever, they came to Drunne, a pier downstream of the confluence of rivers in the Ironthorn Mountains.Here the convoy unloads, loads the bulk of the steel onto the ship, and travels down the river to the Immortal Fortress.

Kahn and Kaisha also followed Gregan onto the boat, and finally they were no longer exposed to the sun and wind.

After boarding the boat, Gregor suddenly took a break and came to talk to the two of them. Kahn stepped forward to deal with it, and the scene was a bit awkward.

"Why do you want to go to the imperial capital to join your relatives? Wouldn't it be good to stay in Fort Drever? That's the only place in the empire that doesn't require conscription." Gregor said.Fort Drever was deliberately exempted from military service because it produced a lot of steel for the empire.

"My cousin...cousin can't do heavy work, so I want to go to the imperial capital and do some business." Kahn improvised an identity for Kaisha, trying to evade it as much as possible.

"It's not okay to be too shy to do business." Gregan looked at Kaisha: "I haven't even heard him speak."

Kaisha showed an ugly smile to perfunctory, Kahn quickly took over the words: "It's okay, it's okay, just give me a hand, there is no need to say anything."

"Okay then, what kind of business are you planning to do, and I'll join you then."

When you finish telling a lie, reality often requires you to tell more lies to weave the lie completely.Kahn looked at the things at hand, and said the first word that flashed in his mind.

"The watchmaker."

"Yo, it's still handicraft. It's a pity that I don't wear a watch, so let's forget it, haha. I'm going to sneak elsewhere, go out more often, don't stay in the boat all the time, it's too boring."

Perhaps the slap in the face came too quickly, and Gregor left after speaking.Kahn sent him to the door, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that he had left.

"Hey, I finally managed to get away with it." He turned his head and said to Kaisha: "From now on, don't walk around alone, or you will be exposed when you ask questions."

Chapter 6: The Immortal Fortress

Kahn and the others traveled along the canal to the imperial capital in a transport ship.They had to disembark at the port, because the transport vehicle only went here, and it was going to enter the sea a little further.

The Immortal Bastion loomed before their eyes, dark and menacing.

In the shadow of the Immortal Bastion, the harbor is thronged with people.Merchants, hawkers, and dock workers were bustling with each other, and the crew went up and down, forming an uninterrupted flow of people.Commodities from all over the world gather here, and goods are unloaded from trading ships in batches for distribution and circulation.

The prosperity of the imperial capital was worthy of its name, but Kahn had to consider the consequences of the large number of people. The spies or intelligence personnel they could not see might be hiding among the crowd.

He has always disliked coming here, not only because of the ghastly sense of oppression here, but also because the Immortal Fortress is the lair of the Black Rose, a battlefield of partisan struggle, full of eyeliners and conspiracies everywhere, and he hates being involved in it .

After disembarking, Kahn made clear his goal and looked for a ship willing to take them in the port.

"Ka'Sa, let's not stay here too long, find a ship to Shurima and leave immediately. Before the night is too long," he said.

"It's a pity, I still want to go to the city to take a look." Kai'Sa glanced in the direction of the Immortal Fortress, she was a little curious about the three huge monoliths shining with dark energy in the center of the capital city.

It looks like a monument, but what kind of person needs to be commemorated with such a large monument?

Kahn glanced in the direction she was looking at, curled his lips: "There's nothing to see."

They mingled with the crowd, and Karn asked around the port and found a ship willing to take them to Shurima, but it didn't leave until tomorrow.

In any case, they had to spend the night in the city first.

It is an awe-inspiring sight to weave through the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, to be carried forward by the turbulent crowd, surrounded by many people speaking many languages.

When walking towards the city, Kaisha hugged her arms to Kahn who kept pulling his face to look around and said: "Sometimes, things tend to develop in the direction that people least expect."

"Murphy's Law."

"what is that?"

"If you're worried about something happening, it's more likely to happen," Kahn explained.

Kaisha nodded half-understood, and then she noticed Kahn looking at him: "It's not that you want to go, so we have to go."

"What does this have to do with me!" Kai'Sa felt unreasonable.

"It's your problem."

She still wanted to argue, but she had already arrived at the gate of the city with the crowd and was about to pass through the customs.If you don't want to attract the attention of the city guards, it's better to be quiet.

This is just one of the many gates of the Immortal Fortress, but its grandeur is not inferior to any main city.

Guarding the city gate were two elite soldiers in black iron plate armor. They held their axes and halberds tightly and stood at attention.The dark red cloak danced wildly on his shoulders, and under the spiked helmet was a ferocious gaze like a beast.

Kai'Sa noticed three notches on their breastplates—these were no ordinary guards.

"It's from the Trifari Legion." Kahn reminded him in a low voice, and at the same time put on a calm expression.

In a nation of murderers, the Legion of Trefaris is the most feared name—friend or foe.It is said that as long as they appear, city-states and countries would rather bow their knees and surrender than challenge them on the battlefield.

This reflects the individual strength of each member of this legion from the side, and the overall strength is so strong that the enemy is desperate.

Passing through the customs was very smooth, as long as it was not a large caravan or suspicious person, the gatekeepers generally would not stop it for careful inspection.But even so, their conspicuous hair color still attracted some curious eyes, and the soldiers seemed to glance at him.

After passing through the dark arcade under the city gate, the huge monument in the center of the city can be seen more clearly, as if towering into the sky, its shadow casts over the entire city, full of eerie oppression.

Buildings made of stone, steel, and glass stood on both sides of the street, and Kahn didn't know where to go for a while.The flat roofs of every household are built with crenels, which look like blockhouses, without obvious functional distinctions, so it is difficult to see which are residential houses and which are shops.

The streets and alleys between the buildings are narrow and twisted, and the original intention of the design is to put the enemies who break through the outer city wall at a disadvantage.At this time, Kahn also fell into a disadvantage. He couldn't tell which street led to the market and which street led to the square.

They followed the other travelers, found the hotel and stayed there.

After closing the door and putting himself in a closed space, Kahn obviously relaxed a lot.He looked at the disheveled Kai'Sa, and frowned, thinking that it was a big mistake to continue to make the pearl dusty like this.

"It's time for you to take a shower and wipe off the ashes on your face. As for the clothes to change..." Kahn hesitated to speak, looking at the clothes he was wearing on Kaisha, which were deliberately tattered by her, He could only shake his head and said, "It's better to lose it."

"Wouldn't it be nice to go out and buy a suit to compensate you later?" Kaisha didn't care too much, she knew very well that Kahn was not that kind of stingy person.

"Buying clothes is an excuse, you want to go shopping, right?"

"Yeah, I'm here, so why don't you take a stroll." She said, "Okay, if you want me to take a bath, then go get me a basin of hot water."

"Yes, yes." Kahn rolled his eyes and left the room, walking towards the bathroom.

Noxus is not Piltover. In the context of this medieval style, it is impossible to expect a roadside inn to have an independent bathroom except in the deep mansions of the dignitaries. A bathtub is good, but the truth is There is a steam bath here, which is shared by men and women.

Kaisha has been with Kahn for so long, and many of her ideas are similar to his. She attaches great importance to the privacy of men and women, and she will never come to this kind of place to take a bath, so she sent Kahn to get a basin of hot water and go back to wipe her body with a towel.

In Noxus, however, this aspect seems to be more open, and it is common for strange men and women to share a bathroom.

This leads to the concept of equality between men and women. It exists for its own reasons. Otherwise, for a country that can only be maintained by continuous military expansion, the huge management cost of the difference between men and women alone is enough to make Noxus think The proud army collapsed.

As soon as Kahn entered the bathhouse, he heard the loud voices of women chatting. There seemed to be two female silhouettes in the hazy steam. Kahn did not shy away from Kahn who had just entered.Of course, there are also men in the bathroom, but everyone washes separately, and no one does anything out of the ordinary.

He walked past them quietly, ignoring their curious eyes, scooped some water from the boiling boiler into the tub, and left with a towel.

Chapter 681 Murphy's Law

Kahn came back with a basin of hot water.

As for what he saw just now, it was more or less a bit of a sight, but the sinews and flesh on those women's bodies were no worse than those of some old men, and there was no trace of femininity.

Next came Kaisha's scrubbing time. After closing the doors and windows, she took off her dirty outfit, then untied her hair and corset, and her silhouette suddenly became seductive.

Under Kahn's gaze, she didn't show any shyness, and gently combed her long purple waterfall-like hair, and handed him the wrung towel after washing her face, asking him to wash it too Face.

It's just that after washing the hair, the basin of water is almost used up.

"Honey, go get me another basin of water." Kaisha said.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. It will take a few minutes at most to go back and forth. You are waiting here like a fool."

Kahn took the bathtub to the window and poured it out carefully. There was a drainage ditch outside the window, so as not to make the alley extremely humid.Then he cast a spell to condense some water in the basin, and then heated the water to a suitable temperature.

"It's so convenient to have you. I wish I had some more flower petals. It's been a long journey, so I will inevitably smell a little dusty." Kaisha took off the bath towel with a smile, and dipped the towel into the hot water at the same time.

Kahn's magic skills are only enough for him to use these basic elements. If you want to give birth to a flower, both the seed moisture and the soil are indispensable.That's why after hearing Kai'Sa's aggressive demands, he despised her for being poor and fastidious.

"You are enough, do you still need me to wipe your back for you to be satisfied?"

"Okay, then I'll make do with it."

"This isn't a compromise, it's something to be particular about..." I didn't expect that I would agree to it casually, and Kahn was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether it was a loss or a gain.

After drying her body, Kaisha put her straight thighs on Kahn's legs. The moist water vapor wrapped her light white toes, reflecting a jade-like luster. It really took more time to dry.

At this moment, she was combing her hair with a wooden comb in both hands, tilting her head, her wet hair fell to the left for a while, and then to the right for a while.The lazy posture is like a cat stretching its legs and licking its fur.

"Honey." She sweetly called Kahn.

"what."

"I'm craving a burrito."

"If you want to eat, go buy it." Kahn remembered seeing a burrito shop on the side of the road before coming here.

"Don't you ask why?"

"Why." Kahn felt that this question was as stupid as why people drink water, but he still asked cooperatively.

"It's really perfunctory." Kaisha originally wanted to answer well, but seeing his perfunctory look, she decided to tease him again.Since coming to the Immortal Fortress, Kahn has become extra vigilant, distracting his attention around, feeling less concerned about her.

"Look, I look like a delicious burrito wrapped in a bath towel." As she spoke, she stretched her soft body, and the burrito almost fell off without being held under her armpit. Fortunately, she The material can hold it.
