Lux's Farewell

Chapter 330 [0326]
"Someone got there first?" Looking at the busy crowd, Ezreal scratched his head helplessly, "It's really bad...Maybe we can talk to them and see if we can conduct a joint investigation?"

"If you want to be killed, you can show up in front of them now." Kassadin grabbed the little yellow hair, "Did you see those mercenaries on guard outside?"

"Those guys with knives and guns?"

"The weapons in their hands are not just for fun. These people paid a lot of money to send so many miners to the Tomb of the God of the Barren Hill. It is absolutely impossible to give up this opportunity!"

"Are they robbing the tomb?" Ezreal realized later, "They have already found the tomb of the God of Barren Hill, and they are digging it?!"

"Otherwise, who would bring so many people to this place that doesn't shit?" Kassadin glared at the eager little yellow fur, "Don't be impulsive, we need to figure out the specific number, goals and progress of these people first! "

"So what to do?" Ezreal took out the laser cutter from his backpack and made an aiming motion, "I'm the best at cleaning up bastards. When I was in Kumanggra, I used to clean up An arrogant local warlord..."

"There are mages in this team." Kassadin ignored the bragging of the little yellow hair, squinted his eyes and observed the camp for a while, and then said, "But I don't know if it's from the prospecting side or the guards. If it's the latter, we're in trouble."

"Mage—speaking of which, I haven't really faced a mage yet!" Not only was Ezreal not afraid when he heard this, but he seemed even more excited. "Have you dealt with a mage before? What kind of people are they?" ?”

"He is a very skillful guy who is difficult to deal with." Kassadin pressed Xiao Huangmao's shoulder, and held the camel with the other hand, "Come on, follow me, we will go around through the downwind , go to the mountain ridge over there, there is a hidden observation point there, and there should be no sentry post."

"The mountain ridge over there?" Ezreal looked around and understood Kassadin's meaning, "Hey, it looks like the view there is really good... Uncle Kassadin, have you been here before? Why? Can you find the best observation point at a glance?"

"Shut up and follow!"

"Oh."

........................

Ezreal's guess is actually correct, it is indeed not the first time Kassadin has come to this col.

When the blood spar was booming and Nashilami formed a prospecting team to explore here, Kassadin, who had just become a professional guide and was only a little famous, was also a member of the prospecting team.

For Kassadin in the past, the biggest gain from that trip to the Barren Hills was the experience he gained along the way. A joint guide team based on military specifications.

Before that, although Kassadin had been a guide and led many caravans deep into the Dasai Desert, even large caravans were not comparable in scale to this kind of professional survey equipment, accompanied by prospecting experts and cartographers. It is still incomparable with the mage's team.

At that time, some members of the joint guide team were responsible for judging the weather, some were responsible for correcting the route, some were responsible for taking care of the livestock, and some were responsible for avoiding natural disasters...

These tasks are the responsibility of the guide alone during the ordinary journey. Different guides have their own strengths and weaknesses in different aspects. When more than a dozen well-known guides unite to act together, Kassadin has a "desert mission." Traveling can still be so easy."

Therefore, Kassadin, who was in charge of guiding the route, chatted with other guides when he had nothing to do—he was the youngest among all the guides, so his posture was always low, and he mainly listened when talking. A compliment can always scratch the itch of those seniors.

Although this exploration ended in failure, and the guides failed to receive the bounty, for Kassadin, this operation broadened his horizons to a large extent, making him a follow-up leader in the entire Nasiram and even It has laid a solid foundation for the strongest general guide in Northern Shurima.

Therefore, among countless journeys as a guide, the trip to the barren hills and mountains was of great significance to him, and he still couldn't forget it after many years—until he lost his wife and daughter after a disaster.

It was a terrible disaster, the ground cracked open, like an insatiable gluttonous mouth, devouring all the people and livestock connected to the whole village.

When Kassadin heard the bad news and ran all the way back to his hometown, all he saw was the broken walls and ruins all over the ground after the huge mouth was temporarily closed.

Kassadin didn't know what the source of the disaster was, but he knew very well that the sects that were doing everything in the name of offering sacrifices and extorting money on weekdays were inseparable from this incident.

Therefore, after the accident, Kassadin took a sharp blade, pretended to be a believer, and mixed into the sect——on a dark and stormy night, he sneaked into the core area of ​​the sect and wiped out the entire area. The leader of the order grabbed himself from the bed.

However... this guy is just a guy who continues to dominate the power of the religious order and fills his own pockets. He knows little about sacrifices and the giant mouth of the earth. Then, just when Kassadin wanted to continue asking, This guy summoned a monster in a shudder.

The disgusting monster devoured the creature who summoned it, and then opened its mouth to Kassadin insatiable.

After a life-and-death struggle, Kassadin killed the monster. In this battle, he finally realized what kind of existence this sect, which must be called a sacrifice, was working for.

Kassadin locked on his enemy, and he vowed to destroy all void monsters active in this world—whether they are served by the order or hidden in no one's place!
However, although the fire of hatred became more and more intense, Kassadin did not start to act alone. This battle proved that Kassadin's strength was insufficient. To complete revenge, he needed stronger strength.

So where does the power come from?
Kassadin is not a spellcaster, nor does he have any talent for elemental magic. The only thing he has is a sum of gold coins he has earned from traveling across the desert as a guide for many years.

Golden Hex, Golden Double-Headed Eagle, Golden Siren...

Kassadin, who has traveled far and wide for many years, knows a place where money can be exchanged for power - Piltover!

In Piltover, Kassadin was working as a translator and clerk (because he was a guide, he was proficient in many languages), while using money to open joints, bypassing the anti-weapon ban, and customizing a A set of "Hex diving gear".

The armor, made of high-strength metal and housed in a hex-powered system, almost completely wiped out all of Kassadin's savings, but for an Avenger, it was all worth it.

Now, Kassadin needs a handy weapon.

The remaining money was not enough for him to bypass the ban and give himself a whole set of weapons, so he chose to do something that he would never do in the past.

Grave robbery.

Facing Ezreal's inquiry, Kassadin had always said that he "wanted to explore the secrets of the tomb of the barren hill god".

But in fact, he has only one real goal - to find the weapon buried with the Ascended in the tomb of God, and use it to avenge the void!
　Carya's Little Classroom Kassadin's Past:

　　Through that failed prospecting, Kassadin clearly realized the difference in guide services for the first time—after that, he was able to provide each customer with the service they needed most in a way that was almost tailor-made, If you want to be fast, he will take a bold detour; if you want to be safe, he will plan a safe route; if the team is large, he will be unsmiling and professional;

　　After quantifying the different abilities required of being a guide and consciously emphasizing them, he became one of northern Shurima's most famous guides.
