he came from the void

But he will not refuse the other party if he wants to give a gift. Why not use some small objects to make Keisha happy?

Having an unexpected return can also comfort Kaisha's heart that has been hurt by humans.

"The telescope is too expensive and we can't take it. If you want to give it as a gift, just give it something for a girl." When Kane said this, he put one arm around Keisha's neck, and lifted her chin with the other hand to let it go. She lifted her head up to show her full face.

He looked at the family of three with a smile, meaning to let them watch and give him something nice to pick up girls.

"I'll give you my vanity mirror." My sister first took out a delicate round mirror, only the size of a biscuit, and stuffed it into Kesha's hand.

Keisha didn't know how to be humble and didn't know how to refuse, so she was at a loss with the gift.She didn't remember to say thank you until she whispered something in her ear.

"Wait..." Mom returned to the carriage and searched for a while, found a beautiful small bottle, wiped off the dust on it, and stuffed it into Keisha's other hand.

"This is a fruity perfume. The smell of peach is particularly prominent. It is fresh and full of vitality. The watery feeling is full, the aroma is sweet, and the right amount of honey is added to make it not too sweet. It is most suitable for beautiful girls."

My mother was an old salesperson when she opened her mouth. The professional introduction made Kesha greedy, and she almost thought that the pale golden liquid in the bottle was edible.

Then the younger brother gave the gift in a slightly childish voice: "I don't have anything for girls, I'll give you this!"

To Kane's surprise, what the younger brother took out was a pocket watch, which was very meaningful to the two of them.

With the pocket watch, the two of them can accurately detect the passage of time while living underground, without having to ask "what time is it outside?" every time they return to the ground.

"Thank you, your gift is the most valuable!" Kane praised his younger brother fiercely, but Keisha only knew how to thank him non-stop.

The gifts from the family of three are pretty good, and Kane and Keisha like them very much.

"At least this is a well-off family!" Kane thought, it's a pity that there are only three people in the family, otherwise they can get a few more gifts.

While Kane was thinking about something, Kesha chatted with the family of three.

From their conversation, it was learned that the family of three was originally going to the port city in the north of Shurima to do perfume business, where the Noxian colonial nobles liked perfume very much.

But on the way, they encountered the Milos swarm and were chased all the way to this point. If Kane and the two hadn't helped each other, the three of them might have become three wrecks by now.

My sister and Keisha were about the same age, and the two chatted happily, quickly dispelling the initial fear-filled guard.

The admiration revealed in her words made Kesha complacent, and at the same time, the gossip about men and women in her mouth also opened the door of Kesha's ignorant heart.

"Are you two brothers and sisters? They look alike."

"We are childhood sweethearts."

"Husband and wife? That's great. Have you two held hands and kissed?"

"I kissed the face, but the mouth hasn't...is there any difference?"

"There's a big difference! Hurry up!"

"what……?"

Kane learned some common sense through his mother, and his eight-year-old brother followed his mother, looking at him curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, the carapace on your body is attached to the skin, right?"

Mom also had a lot of questions about the strange two, and she could tell at a glance that Kane was the one who had more power to speak.

"Yeah, we were taken away by the void three years ago, and we survived by merging with those monsters, but we also turned into this monster. We have been misunderstood by humans a lot, and we were discouraged and didn't want to save people anymore Yes, but Keisha is just too kind..."

Kane slightly modified the motivation for saving people. He hoped that through the mouth of the perfume merchant, the rumor of the monster girl saving people would spread in Shurima.

At least when they return to the ground next time, the rumors about themselves will not be all negative.

"Oh, what a poor child... Thank you again for repaying evil with kindness. Your kindness will eventually be rewarded."

Chapter 58 Returns

After chatting for a while, the family of three set off again. They had to rush to the next settlement before sunset, so it was inconvenient to stay longer.

"It's finally gone." Kane watched the caravan disappear into the horizon, and began to pick and choose on the ground, devouring the remains of the Milos beetle.

"What? Don't you like getting along with humans?" Kesha couldn't help asking when he heard his complaint.

"No, it's just that the skin armor is hungry. I can't disregard my image and devour it in front of outsiders." Kane tore off Milos' furry limbs, and then stabbed the bone spurs into his full abdomen to suck the sticky body fluid.

He really didn't want to crush the bugs and see a sticky and disgusting organ all over the place, so using a straw would make his nausea less.

"That's right, we came out to hunt." Under Kane's horrified gaze, Keisha casually inserted her claws into the full belly of the insect, and watched it dry up quickly.

After more than 100 Milos were processed, it was not too early. The fiery red sunset was hovering on the horizon, and the eastern half of the sky had been soaked in night, covered with stars.

While there was still light, Kane opened his pocket watch to check the time.

It was an exquisite mechanical watch, but Kane smelled a hint of magic in it.

He turned the pocket watch to the back, and the Eye of the Abyss saw a magic core the size of a grain of rice through the metal back cover, showing a blue pattern in his vision.

"A technology driven by hex crystals, this should be something from Piltover."

Kane believes that only Piltover and Zaun, who are mutually superior to each other, should have the technology to manufacture such a mechanical pocket watch. Zaun's alchemy technology generally uses alchemy potions to be driven by chemical reactions, and the energy core in the pocket watch is obviously a crystal. rather than liquid.

Then it exudes magical energy, which is obviously Hex Technology.

"Hex crystal? What's that?"

Keisha opened the lid of the perfume and smelled it, she was immediately intoxicated, and suddenly felt that she was so happy to be born as a human.Then she heard Kane talking to herself, and she closed the lid and leaned over, fearing that the fragrance would be dissipated.

It is impossible for her to spray perfume on herself now, wouldn't that be exposing her position to the void creatures?

If you want to use it, wait until you return to human society, and use perfume to cover up the terrible smell of the skin armor, although this may not be useful...

"A crystal containing magic power. The original sample was collected from the Odin Valley in Shurima. It is the life core of a magical creature, just like the 'heart' for void creatures... This thing is very powerful, don't look at it There is only a crystal the size of a grain of rice inside, but it is enough to keep this pocket watch running for decades."

Kane closed the pocket watch and found that the magic breath was no longer dissipating, so he was relieved.

If this thing "leaks air", it can't be taken underground.

Void creatures would flock to a single tear of fear, let alone a magic crystal.

"Oh." Keisha nodded half-understanding: "It must be very expensive, right?"

"The whole crystal will be very expensive, but the leftovers the size of a grain of rice should be better, otherwise I'm sorry little brother, such an expensive thing."

Kane remembered that he was attracted by the magic breath just now and forgot to check the time, so he opened the pocket watch again.

"Sunset at [-]:[-], so it's summer now..." Kane thought thoughtfully, his location should be near the equator of Runeterra, and he had never been to a similar area in his previous life.

In a daze, Keisha handed the mirror to him and said to him, "Take it, I'm afraid I can't help but look in the mirror."

"Why not take a picture?" Kane picked it up and took a picture of his own face. This was the first time he saw himself.

His skin looked very white at first glance, but it always had some loess color. His dark purple hair had grown to cover his ears, and the bangs on his forehead covering his eyes were pulled up to the top of his head.Except that the bridge of the nose is not as straight as expected, other places feel okay.Hairstyle is a deduction item. She is still young and her face shape still has room to grow.

Kane glanced at himself and Keisha, and found that he had Keisha's same pattern of facial lines on his cheeks and forehead, but there was no pupil in his left eye, only a deep abyss that kept flowing, as if connecting to different people. Space, looks a little scary.

"Aren't you really going to take a picture? Look at the changes in yourself." Kane raised the mirror at Kesha, and she was so scared that she stretched out her hand to cover her eyes.

"I don't dare..." Kesha said worriedly, "I'm afraid I will be disappointed after reading it."

"Oh? Are you worried about being ugly?"

"Hmm..." Kesha squatted down, staring at the sand on the ground in a daze.

Since scaring people away that time, she has doubted her appearance and is no longer confident.He didn't even dare to look in the mirror, for fear that Kane's affirmation of her over the years was perfunctory and deceiving her.

"This silly girl." Kane couldn't help swearing in his heart that adolescent girls are always too sensitive.

"Do you think Gemma is pretty?"

"It looks good." Kesha was noncommittal. Gemma was the older sister in a family of three. Kesha kept staring at her face while chatting with her.

"Then you don't have to worry, you're actually prettier than her." Kane smiled and threw the mirror over, Kesha had to pick it up for fear that it would break, and then saw her own face unprepared.

She stared at herself in the mirror and was stunned. After a while, she put down the mirror with relief.

"Haha, it's not beyond the scope of human beings, right? Do you think your face is covered with scales?" Kane came over and pinched her cheek, the more he looked at it, the more amusing he became.

"Hmm..." Keisha didn't comment on her appearance, but it could be seen from the upturned corners of her mouth that she was satisfied.

The boundary line between day and night quickly swept across the earth, announcing the coming of night.

Keisha recalled what happened today, with a smile on her lips, and suddenly remembered what Gemma had said, which encouraged her.With the mentality of giving it a try, she kissed Kane's lips expectantly.

Then Keisha found out she had been duped.

Lips parted, Keisha met Kane's puzzled eyes, and she was also confused: "It's strange, why didn't you feel the electric shock that Gemma said?"

"Idiot, how can I have a special feeling without that kind of mood..." Kane was speechless, he had already skipped the stage of passionate love and entered the stage of old couple. Of course it's useless to make pies.

"Is that so?" Keisha followed behind Kane thoughtfully and set off again.

God knows what's going on in her little head.

Chapter 59 Icacia (addition for the rudder master)

Stopping and stopping along the way, it took a lot of time to hunt again.After walking southeast for nearly half a year in a blink of an eye, the two finally came to the border of Icacia.

Once here, the most intuitive change Kane saw was the drastic change in the environment.

The sky was shrouded in thick black clouds, and it was difficult to see the sun even in the daytime.Stunning bright purple lightning flashed from treacherous clouds, and the sky was filled with an unnatural twilight, the evil light only seen in nightmares.

The scorched earth is covered with stone pillars as dark as the night, and the canine teeth are intertwined like the backbone of the earth, piercing obliquely towards the sky, attracting lightning strikes from time to time, and risking the burn that has not been dissipated for thousands of years. The smoke seems to be God's punishment for this unclean land.

Even the air here is distorted, and no plant growth can be seen, and the root-like things of the tree trunks are all ground hernias.

These weird things seemed to cover the world, pressing down from above, and at the same time blooming upward from nowhere below, forming a distorted scene on the destroyed land after the war.

As far as the eye can see, it is shocking and devastated.

Everywhere he saw was telling that this was a forbidden place for life.

Kesha looked at the scene in front of her, pursed her lips, and finally clenched Kane's hand, without saying anything, and walked into this even more bizarre world with him.

……

Because walking on the open ground is so conspicuous, Kane always feels uneasy, so they go back underground through the tunnel and continue on.

When Kane came down, he picked a handful of soil from the ground. He found that after the land here was ravaged by the void, the organic matter content was greatly reduced, which caused the land to be salinized.

In such a land, it is impossible to find any plants.

Having just arrived in Icacia from Shurima, Kane saw that the void creatures were only ethereal for now.At this point, there is no obvious difference between the Void Spirits in the two places. They are both cannon fodder units that get together, and they are both broken at the touch of a touch.

Because the ground hernia has densely opened up the strata, Icacia has many more passages connecting the surface and the ground than the Shurima Desert. The earth is devastated because these burrows can be seen everywhere, and the ethereals often climb to the surface through the burrows.

However, there are often thick ground hernias blocking the underground tunnels, causing the two of them to detour back to the ground from time to time, and it is impossible to explore the whole way underground.

But the ground is not safe, ground hernias can be seen everywhere, even if they accidentally step on it, it is very dangerous.

Every step must be careful, which caused the speed of the two to be much slower.

At the end of another day, Kane found something different on the road ahead.

Although the land has been filled with gunpowder smoke, the air is full of the smell of sulfur.But it was only a thin layer, and had little effect on visibility. Kane could still see the ruins of an ancient town a few kilometers away.

"Do you want to go in and take a look? Or go around?" Kane asked Keisha's opinion.

"Father might be inside, I think it's better to take a look, but the main thing is to listen to you." Kesha tossed the hair that blocked her eyes aside, with a solemn expression.

"Then go have a look."

In fact, Kane is also more inclined to go in and investigate. First, he can find a place to rest, and second, he may find some ancient relics.

If there is any threat lurking in the ruins, he can also use the consciousness network to find out in advance and avoid it in time.

Kane can now perceive void creatures within 50 meters around him, which is enough distance for them to escape any void creatures known at this stage.

As long as you don't encounter the fear of the void or the eye of the void, your luck will not be so bad...

Climbing over the collapsed city wall, the two entered the ruins of this unknown ancient town.

There is no trace of the war between the two worlds outside the city wall. Judging from the scale, this is not the former main city of Icacia, but a small town located on the border of the former Mage Kingdom. After the outbreak of the war, it was attacked from the direction of the main city. The tide swallowed mercilessly.

Kane saw that the streets and roofs were all covered with ashes, and even with the sun shining, the whole town still showed an unnatural pale color.

The architecture here is very similar to Shurima, and Kane even found a collapsed sun disk symbol above the ruins of a temple.

It's no wonder that Icacia used to exist as a vassal state of the Shurima dynasty, and it's not surprising that the symbol of Shurima appeared.

Although the architectural style of ancient Icathia is similar to that of Shurima, there are still some differences when you look closely.

The wall of the house here is not a whole made of earth and stone concrete, but piled up with blocks of earthy square bricks.Moreover, the stacking method of these earth bricks is different from ordinary people's cognition - the diagonals of the cube earth bricks are all perpendicular to the ground, the walls are not painted, and the exposed cutting lines are very neat, which makes the whole house look like Like a chunk of mung bean cake cut with a fishing net...

"How is this made?" Keisha pushed a brick hard, but found that it couldn't be pushed.
