Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 249 Windmill! Sea of ​​lavender!

The Avarosa tribe's station has gradually fallen silent with the arrival of night.

The protective barrier Zuo Chi set up before leaving gradually appeared, covering the entire station like a protective shield made of starlight.

The girls all returned to their rooms, and Ai Xi went to Kasha's room to be with her as Zuo Chi said before leaving.

Late at night, after helping Kasha stay vigil for a long time without seeing anything unusual, Ashe gradually closed her eyes.

This night, it was rare that there was no snow in Freljord, and the entire station was eerily quiet.

The bonfire in the center of the station was dancing, and sparks flew into the sky, gradually touching the protective barrier set up by Zuo Chi.

But at this moment, a strange purple energy suddenly attached to the barrier.

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, ripples began to ripple on the barrier, and a tiny gap was gradually torn open.

At the same time, Kasha on the bed frowned slightly, and a look of pain flashed across her face again.

That strange dream appeared again.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to calmly say that he asked Zuo Chi to help him revive Icacia.

However, listening to Zuo Chi's question and recalling his homeland, Kieran couldn't help but have a flash of sadness in his eyes, while Jax became more and more indignant.

He only knew that Icacia summoned the underground void in order to rebel, but he did not know this layer of history that Kieran mentioned.

Kieran's tone became excited and high-spirited: "Icathia has followed the Shurima Empire for hundreds of years, but has never obtained any ascendant quota! Not only that, in Icathia for the first time due to protests, During the resistance, the Shurima Empire brutally killed our king and hung his body on the city gate as a warning to every Icathian people."

"Kieran, this is my friend Jax."

"This"

Zuo Chi nodded slightly, and asked again: "I remember that the Ancient Shurima Empire was not a powerful empire that almost unified Rune Land. Their Ascended Legion was unrivaled. Each Ascended One has an enemy." Thousands of powerful people, why don’t you want to become a subsidiary empire of Shurima?”

At this time, Kieran also came to Jax's side and nodded apologetically towards Zuochi.

It was as if nothing had happened, but at this moment Kasha had traveled thousands of miles away and once again returned to the place she regarded as a nightmare.

The little girl sat helpless and confused in the yellow sand. In front of her, the bottomless abyss crack was still mercilessly devouring everything around her.

"Oh?"

Zuo Chi looked at Jax and Kiran in front of him and asked curiously: "Why did you appear in Freljord? Since you want to revive Icathia, shouldn't you be active in Shurima? ?”

"Actually, Your Excellency also said that the Ascended Ones of the Shurima Empire are extremely powerful, but the selection of the Ascended Ones is also for the entire Shurima Empire, including its affiliated countries!"

Zuo Chi asked, "What was the reason for the fall?"

"Buzz!"

A teleportation portal slowly appeared in front of Kasha, and in her sleep, she walked step by step into the unknown abyss.

Zuo Chi shook his head to show that he didn't care, and continued to wait for Kieran to continue.

Recalling the past again, Kieran's tone was a little disappointed, but it was not a secret, so there was no need for him to hide it from Zuo Chi, his savior.

"Compared to the Ascended One who was killed by Jax, the power of the Ascended God Aatrox was almost completely enough to destroy Icathia's army in an instant. In that battle, almost all of Icathia's army Overwhelmed, even the earth was dyed a fishy dark red with blood."

Kieran looked at Jax beside him, his eyes full of sadness:

Compared to Zuo Chi, who knows a little bit about everything, Jax naturally has no idea about Zuo Chi's identity.

"Both are the two most powerful vassals of the Shurima Empire. Ixtar has obtained dozens of Ascendant quotas. Among them, Nezuk has become a powerful person who can rival the Mage King. But Ai Where is Cassia?”

"Thank you for your help. Jax has a straight temper. Please forgive me."

Looking carefully, Ashe's eyebrows were also shrouded in a faint purple energy. Not only that, even the entire room between her and Kasha was shrouded, making it impossible for the outside world to pry into what was happening inside.

Icathia is void!
-

There were still faint purple spots rising from Vel'Koz's body, but the atmosphere between Zuochi and Jax became a little weird.

Many purple butterflies turned into the sails of the boat in my arms, carrying it slowly towards the abyss ahead.

"To be honest with you, Icathia has always been one of the most loyal vassals of the ancient Shurima Empire. Unfortunately, the unfair treatment we have suffered has made us completely give up following the Shurima Empire and decided to Stand up and resist.”

The strange sound of the armor squirming was very clear in the quiet room, but despite this, Ai Xi showed no signs of waking up.

Zuo Chi was a little silent. He had to admit that he had never understood these things before.

Even though thousands of years have passed, this incident is still a scar that cannot be healed in their hearts.

"Kasha, daughter of the void. Come here, come here."

"It seems that you are also quite familiar with the history of Shurima." Kieran was a little surprised.

On the bed, Kasha's brows frowned more and more, and the void armor on her body began to slowly squirm. This was something that had never happened before!

Kieran's tone was slightly choked, but he quickly said: "We didn't understand the void at that time. In order to resist the slavery of the ancient Shurima Empire, we made the mistake of summoning the underground void."

The little girl in the dream was getting closer and closer to the abyss, but in reality Kasha slowly stood up. She stepped over Ashe beside her and walked gently towards the door of the room.

"Soon after, the furious Shurima Empire sent the Ascended Legion led by the ascended god Aatrox to the border of Icathia, and a bloody war of suppression began. At that moment, Icathia's true feelings Now we have arrived at what exactly is an ascended person and what is an ascended legion.”

"The whole of Icathia thought it was a powerful weapon that could help us resist the Shurima Empire. And with strong capital as support, Icathia decided to rise up and resist!"

Kaisha's figure completely disappeared into the teleportation portal, and the teleportation portal slowly closed, and the purple energy attached to the shield also faded away.

Kieran continued to tell: "Wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance! It was precisely at that time that our country's mages discovered the strange power hidden deep in the ground - the void."

"As Jax led a small team to kill the Ascendant who was stationed in Icathia at the time, the relationship between Icathia and Shurima was completely irreparable."

Kieran said softly: "Because our hometown of Icasia has fallen, we were forced to leave the country and find a way to restore the country."

"It was at that time that Icathia summoned the void beneath the ground and decided to use its power to fight against the Shurima Empire."

Kieran smiled bitterly: "I believe you have understood the ending. The void swallowed Icathia, and only Jax and I escaped in the entire country. It also plunged the Shurima Empire into a void war that lasted for decades. .”

"For thousands of years, Jax and I have been sparing no effort to find ways to help revive our country. It's a pity."

Kieran shook his head slightly: "As long as the void remains on the land of Icathia, it will be impossible for Icathia to regain its former prosperity."

After listening to Jilan's story, Zuo Chi couldn't help but feel a little silent.

There is no doubt that Icacia's act of summoning the void was definitely an important factor in changing the course of history, but who can blame Icacia? After all, they just want fair treatment.

Seeing that Zuo Chi also looked a little regretful, Kieran thought that Zuo Chi was grieving for what happened to Icacia, so he took advantage of the situation and said:

"I wonder which force the benefactor comes from?"

After Zuo Chi pondered for a while, he said: "I am from the Avarosa tribe, and now we are on the border of my tribe."

Kieran asked again: "Do you know that there are also traces of void on this continent?"

Zuo Chi nodded: "I know." Jilan's aging eyes flashed:

"Since you know it, you must also understand the dangers of the void. In order to prevent this land from becoming the same desolate land as Icathia, we should use our own strength to fight against the void. This must be a great achievement in the contemporary era. What a feat in Qianqiu!”

After the impassioned words, Kieran looked at Zuo Chi without blinking, just waiting for him to give a positive answer.

Zuo Chi: "."

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

After a long time, Zuo Chi scratched his head: "Is this how you usually fool people?"

"Forehead"

Kieran was a little embarrassed, but he still said matter-of-factly: "This is all my sincere words."

Zuo Chi looked at the expectant looks of Kieran and Jax, and he suddenly asked: "Can you let me see this, um, street lamp in Jax's hand?"

Jax held the street lamp burning with blazing flames in front of him, and the flames containing the majestic power of life also appeared in front of Zuo Chi.

At the same time, a piece of information related to this street light slowly emerged in front of Zuo Chi.

【Eternal Flame

Grade: Intermediate legendary level

Special note: Icasia was once the treasure of the country and the foundation of the country. Containing endless power of life, Jax has a super-long lifespan that breaks the limits precisely because he has held the eternal flame for a long time. 】

It turns out that the weapon in Jax's hand is not a street lamp, but a strange staff carrying eternal fire.

To be honest, compared to Kieran and Jax's dream of restoration, Zuo Chi is most interested in the Eternal Flame, which has a special damage bonus to void creatures.

After all, if your own flame can have the properties of eternal flame, it will undoubtedly have a more significant effect when fighting against the void.

"Your Mightiness?"

Seeing Zuo Chi staring at the Eternal Flame in a daze, Jilan seemed to know that he would not leave his tribe and embark on the road to conquer the void, so he said softly:

"I would like to thank you again for your life-saving grace. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask us."

Zuo Chi came back to his senses and tilted his head: "Are you ready to leave Freljord?"

Kieran nodded: "The two of us have actually been in the Demacia Empire before, because Jax and a swordsman from the Laurent family hit it off and we sparred many times. But then we followed the breath of the void and came here This way. Since there is no open void crack here, we naturally have to leave."

Kieran looked up at the sky and sighed softly: "The road to the rejuvenation of the motherland is still far away, and we still need to keep working hard."

Zuo Chi patted Kieran on the shoulder: "The Shurima Empire, which has been destroyed for thousands of years, can rise again. I believe Icasia can do the same."

Jilan nodded slightly, but he quickly reacted, turned his head and looked at Zuo Chi and asked doubtfully: "How do you know?"

"Oh~!"

Zuo Chi let out a long sigh and patted Jax sincerely: "Next time you recruit someone to join your team, remember to ask them where they come from."

Under the gazes of Kieran and Jax, Zuochi raised his hand and raised one finger straight up.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of glittering golden light emerged between Zuo Chi's fingers, which was the power of ascension!

At the same time, Zuo Chi's helpless voice came: "How can you fool the generals of the Shurima Empire to help you restore the country? Why don't you call Aatrox to be the king of Icathia?"

Kieran: "."

Jax: "."

Finally, he waved his hands to the two living treasure partners, and Zuo Chi's figure gradually faded away: "Maybe it won't be long before we meet again."

On the way back, for some reason, Zuo Chi always felt very uneasy, as if something important was getting further and further away from him.

Zuo Chi didn't know the source of this feeling, but he knew that the people he loved were still in the Avarosa tribe, and as long as he returned there, everything would become clear.

The figure flashed rapidly, and Zuo Chi was approaching the Avarosa tribe's station at an almost teleporting speed.

Looking at the shield that covered the entire station, Zuo Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the station, Zuo Chi immediately headed towards the room where Ai Xi and Kasha were.

Standing at the door, feeling the only breath left in it, Zuo Chi's heart sank to the bottom.

Entering the room, Zuo Chi looked at the purple energy lingering between Ai Xi's eyebrows. He quickly raised his hand and wiped away the energy.

It was also at this time that Ai Xi, who had been falling into a deep sleep, slowly woke up.

The first time he woke up, Ai Xi subconsciously looked at the place next to him.

When she saw the empty bed beside her, Ai Xi's heart suddenly jumped.

She turned her head quickly, her expression becoming panicked: "Zuo Chi, where is Kasha?"

Ai Xi's voice was trembling when she spoke, and her ice-blue eyes were filled with anxiety and remorse.

Zuo Chi asked her to accompany Kasha, but she fell into a coma and allowed Kasha to be kidnapped. Ai Xi felt that it was all her fault.

Zuo Chi hugged Ai Xi into his arms and patted her back: "I will bring her back. The power is far beyond your knowledge, Ai Xi, so it's not your fault. Everything is my fault. It's I didn’t protect you.”

Although Zuo Chi's tone was calm, his heart was already filled with extremely strong murderous intent.

He knew very well that if he could pass through his barrier silently and take Kai'Sa away without Soraka noticing, then the opponent's power must be stronger than Soraka's today.

After obtaining a low-level true god level body, Soraka's damaged divinity has not yet recovered, but it is definitely not comparable to ordinary high-level demigods.

In this way, it can only show that the opponent's strength has far exceeded the demigod level.

"Zuo Chi."

Ai Xi, who was in Zuo Chi's arms, raised his head and looked at him worriedly: "Do you know where Kasha went? Who was she kidnapped by?"

"I'll see her soon."

Zuo Chi repeated again: "Soon!"

Touched Ashe's head: "Wait for me here, and tell others that I will be back soon with Kaisha."

Zuo Chi slowly stood up and walked out of the room.

He raised his hand, glistening blue light gathered in his hand, and a map appeared in his hand.

It was the "coordinates of the Purple Sea" that I got from Nasus!

Starlight gathered in his hands, and Zuo Chi suddenly tore apart the space in front of him and stepped into it.

When he reappeared, he had returned to the extremely familiar desert. Immediately afterwards, Zuochi rushed straight into the void crack in the hinterland of Icasia.

Zuo Chi knew that he might be about to meet the first true god from the void plane, and that he might be able to find allies against the void monitors under the Howling Abyss.
