he came from the void

For people like them who are used to hunting and living underground, the underground tunnels extending in all directions can bring them a sense of security, and they are more comfortable in fighting.

It's just that Kane has his reasons and must go to the surface to take a look.

The previous intact tower is the key!

He knew who the tower belonged to and why it had survived the catastrophe.

Protected by some powerful magic, the tower has become the only safe spot in the ruins of Icathia.

If Kesha's father came here, there is a high probability that he has been to the tower, and even used the tower as a shelter!

Chapter 68 Reunion

When escaping from the monster before, Kane had already passed through and looked down in the air, remembering the positions of those abysses.

And around the tower, there are several abysses, large and small.

These abysses connect to another dimension below the plane and beyond the material realm, and once approached, a large number of void monsters will emerge.

And if Kane wants to go to the tower, he must bypass these triggered "monster spawn points", otherwise he will attract a wave of beasts to hunt him down.

So how to reach the tower safely has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Without much thought, Kane found a solution right away.

Three days later, a ground-boring worm broke out of the ruins, then turned around and burrowed back, leaving a hole on the ground that could allow one person to pass through.

After a while, two creepy heads poked out from the ground furtively, and the three eyes radiated warm purple light, looking around.

There was a deathly silence on the ground, and there was not a shadow of a monster in sight.

"Where did the monsters go?" Keisha asked.

"I don't know, maybe I left by myself." Kane crawled out of the cave, and immediately ran to hide behind the nearby ruins, followed by Keisha.

She looked around, then made a confused sound.

"Strange, I clearly remember that the tower is nearby!"

She would remember correctly, in order to avoid the nearby abyss, the burrowing worm controlled by Kane dug near the tower.

At this point, you can completely trust her sense of direction, and you will never go wrong!

However, the reality deviates from her memory. There is no tower here, it is all ruins.

Could it be that she really remembered it wrong?Or hallucination?

"Silly girl, you discovered it yourself first, but now you can forget how to see it, you are really stupid."

Kane patted Keisha on the back of the head, and the latter's helmet popped off automatically, revealing a small angry face.

"Now you read it again."

"Oh ho ho!!!" Keisha immediately noticed a white tower appearing out of thin air not far away, exactly as she remembered.

"It's amazing! Why is this happening!" Keisha kept opening and closing the helmet, switching vision, watching the tower appear and disappear out of thin air in her eyes.

"The tower doesn't welcome the void, so void creatures can't see it, and we can't see it with our helmets on."

Kane was inexplicably excited. It turned out that this was the reason why the tower had not been destroyed by void creatures for thousands of years.

"Is this magic?" Keisha asked again, she felt that only omnipotent magic could do such a miracle.

"Yeah" Kane nodded and walked towards the tower.

They walked to the door safely without triggering any traps. Afterwards, he observed carefully in front of the door for a while and found that there were no obvious marks on the door, so he pressed his hand nervously.

Nothing happened.

"It seems that as long as we see the tower, it won't repel us." At first, Kaisha was worried that she would encounter some problems because of this void skin. After all, if they switched to full coverage, they would be regarded as void creatures.

"Are you ready? We are heading to a magical place, and I feel the power of magic behind the door."

Kane reminded Kesha that in fact, he didn't feel anything with his hand on the door, but he knew that there were some unreasonable scenes in the tower.

"Ah."

The moment he opened the door, Kane felt a sense of interlacing time and space, allowing him to experience the feeling of time travel again.It's as if 500 years have passed in an instant, returning to the ancient Icacia.

Then, a strong sense of crisis locked on him, making his hair stand on end.

In a daze, Kane saw a black-purple nihilistic light blade cutting towards his neck, with purple arcs dancing on it, with an annihilation aura.Pulling his gaze, he couldn't move his eyes away.

Kane didn't dare to question the power of this weapon. He raised his hand and popped out the bone spur to block it, but the light blade cut through the iron like mud, cutting off the bone spur without a moment's stagnation.

No doubt it would have had the same result had it landed on his neck.

"Kassadin, stop!"

At the very moment, Kane let out a loud cry, and at the same time clamped the opponent's wrist with the other hand, stopping the Void Blade before it cut into his neck!

He could feel the other party hearing the name, and the sword-wielding hand paused and began to retract.

Keisha came back from a trance, and the confrontation had froze at this moment.

She saw many people in the tower at a glance, and a monster wearing a horned helmet and wrapped in armor was attacking Kane, and his hands and pods immediately released a purple halo.

All aimed at each other!

The light gradually increased and became more and more intense. Kane didn't know why things suddenly became like this, but he knew that if he didn't speak again, something big would happen.

"Kesha, don't do it! This is your father!" Kane shouted again.

As soon as these words came out, Kesha was shocked. She looked at Kane, and after confirming that he was not joking, she slowly suppressed the hot barrage that was ready to go.

After the purple light dissipated, Kane forced a smile on his face and said to the weird man in front of him, "Uncle, I'm Kane from the same village. May I ask if you can put down the knife before talking."

Through the lens on the helmet, Kane saw him looking at them with a pair of incredible eyes inside, but [-]% of the time his eyes stayed on Keisha.

Occasionally glanced at him, and seemed to be using him to confirm whether Kesha was the girl in his impression.

In the end, the weirdo shook his wrist, and the light blade of nothingness retracted into the back wrist of his gauntlet.

He withdrew his hand, and made a muffled sound through the helmet, which he couldn't hear clearly, like "sorry" or something, then walked around Kane and walked behind him.

He closed the tower door tightly for the first time, then turned to face the two of them.

First took off the breathing tube on the helmet, and then took off the horned helmet, revealing the face of an uncle next door.

His temples have turned white, full of vicissitudes, but at this moment his face is joyful, with muddy tears at the corners of his eyes.

Although the appearance of the two of them has changed a lot in this reunion, the sense of intimacy flowing in their veins will not change.

As the person in front of them gradually overlapped with the image in their memory, the two called each other one after another, took two steps each and embraced each other.

"Father! I finally found you!"

"Kesha, I thought you guys"

Keisha buried her face in Kassadin's arms and wept loudly, as petite as a baby swallow.When she returned to her father, she became that child again.

Kassadin gently stroked her hair, also tearful.The appearance of his daughter was like a ray of light shining into his dark path, giving him a direction and a meaning of life for an instant.

Kane looked at the reunited father and daughter from the sidelines, feeling emotional for a while, and then secretly sad.

Why doesn't anyone care about him? He is also a minor, and he was frightened by a knife around his neck just now, okay?

Oh really.

Chapter 69 From now on we will be family

"Sorry, Kane, I made you laugh."

The two immersed in joy finally noticed Kane, who was silent on the side. Kassadin carefully wiped away Kesha's tears with his rough fingers, and then raised his arms to wipe away his own tears.

"It's okay, I understand." Kane replied politely, who told this to be Kesha's father, he must have a good relationship.

"Father, why are you here? Also, why don't these people move?"

Keisha has grown rapidly, but her height is still not comparable to that of an adult, and it only reaches Kassadin's neck.

Rubbing her red eyes, she turned and pointed at the motionless crowd in the tower.

In fact, Kane has long seen this group of people who seem to have been cast a spell. They are all dressed in ancient Icacia costumes, and they are crowded together. No matter old people or children, they all cast terrified eyes in the direction of the gate. .

It's hard to imagine what they saw and what they were forced to come here.

"It's a long story"

Speaking of why he came to Icassia, Kassadin burst into tears again.

When he heard the bad news and rushed back day and night, and saw the village swallowed by the void, he collapsed on the spot.

As an abandoned child, the first half of Kassadin's life was very difficult. After working hard for half his life, he managed to get a happy family, but it was shattered overnight. A hollow shell.

The heavy blow made him lose the motivation to live, and he became a homeless tramp who bought drunk all day long.

Until the rumors of the Prophet reached his ears, his fire of hatred was ignited.

In order to avenge his wife and daughter, Kassadin is determined to eliminate the prophet who is a helper for tigers, and at the same time eliminate the source of his dark power in one fell swoop.

He used all the human relations he had accumulated to order protective clothing in Zaun, with the blessing of the Ionian soul healer, and finally stole the blade of the underworld from Horok the Ascended, and faced the void alone.

As a desert guide, it has become Kassadin's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Relying on his rich experience to avoid the horrible things on the road, he came to the ruins of Icacia through all kinds of difficulties and dangers.

He killed the void creatures with the power of the magic weapon, and in the process discovered that the void creatures could not perceive the tower, so he took it as a matter of course and took the tower as his refuge and resting place.

At the same time, he also discovered the strangeness in the tower, and the time in the tower was stopped by a mysterious force.

The people here are all frozen, no matter how they touch or communicate, there is no response, a certain state between life and death.

The food from thousands of years ago did not show any signs of decay. After Kassadin ate the food he brought, he survived in this barren land by relying on the inventory in the tower.

After Kassadin explained, Keisha finally accepted the existence of these people and began to treat them as lifelike sculptures.Otherwise, being stared at by so many people will always make me feel hairy.

"Uncle, may I ask, how long have you been here?"

Kane also looked away from the still crowd, and Kassadin felt right, the tower had been removed from time by powerful magic.Everything that existed here at that moment, never changes with the passage of time.

"Less than half a year?" Kassadin said hesitantly, not very sure.

After all, he was decadent for a while, and then it took him a while to collect things and travel, so the days to really fight against the void were really not long compared to the two of them.

But Kane didn't mean to be sarcastic, he was just lucky to come at just the right time.It didn't come too early to miss the reunion of father and daughter, nor did Kassadin suffer alone for too long.

"What about you? How did you become like this?" Kassadin had doubts about the carapace on the two of them for a long time, and consciously told him that the two had experienced very terrible things.

"The village was swallowed by the void, everyone died, mother died, only me and Kane survived"

When this matter was brought up in front of her father, Keisha burst into tears of grievance. She stumbled and explained the matter with Kane's constant additions.

Starting from the time when I fell into the ground, the symbiosis with the void, I can’t remember how many times I survived and saved each other, and I was misunderstood, saving people and killing people, and finally I talked about the encounter on the way to find Kassadin. to the monster.

Kassadin listened to everything in silence, using the analogy of the days he spent in Icacia, he can almost feel how difficult everything Kesha has experienced.

"Kesha, my daughter, you have become thinner." Calloused hands brushed across Kesha's face.

Purple facial lines, eyes, and hair, looking at his daughter who has been greatly changed under the influence of the void, his heart is heavy.

He couldn't help thinking that the girl who was the same age as Keisha was just starting to help her parents with some farm work within her ability.

At the beginning, he worked so hard to make money, just to give Kaisha a good living condition. He never expected to encounter such an accident, not only did he not let her live a horror that ordinary people should not bear in their lifetime.

This father, he was too dereliction of duty.

"You have worked hard these days!" Kassadin patted Kesha's arm.

That short sentence seemed to have exhausted all his energy, and in an instant, he seemed to be discouraged, and he shrugged his hands down feebly. He changed from the avenger who bore the bloody feud to an ordinary middle-aged father.

"It's not hard, I'm very satisfied to see Dad again. Thanks to Kane, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even know you came to Icacia, let alone find you here."

"Thank you so much, good boy." Kassadin let Kane go over, and held Kesha in his arms.

At this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of reunion, and did not realize the seriousness of the matter. Now he feels very good about Kane.

Just now Keisha talked about how Kane saved her in the underground world, taught her how to hunt, comforted her, and helped her bear all the mistakes in the underground world.

It can be said that Kane has fulfilled all the responsibilities of a father for him, so Kassadin is very grateful to Kane.

In order to thank Kane and to celebrate the reunion, Kassadin led the two to the empty upper floor and entertained them with some food and drinks.

"Don't be polite to me. Kane, you have helped Keisha so much, I will raise you after your parents are gone, and we will be a family in the future!"
