If it weren't for Cassadine, Keisha would have found it hard to imagine that the village they had lived in for ten years was in front of her.

Except for a few stone pillars that were as black and twisted as the night, there was only quicksand and gravel, and there was not even the slightest trace of settlement.

But Cassadine was impressed.

When he found his wife and daughter in the ruins, he dug up until his hands were bleeding for several days, and finally he completely collapsed, and his mind was in a trance, and his eyes were empty and weeping under the scorching sun.

If it weren't for the fact that his companions rushed over and forcibly dragged him away, there might be an extra loyal dry skeleton here by now.

Cassadine led the two men to a tree in the valley, where there stood two low tombs, the empty graves of his beloved wife and daughter.

Keisha first felt strange when she saw her grave, but she was immediately overwhelmed by the sadness of losing her mother.

Cassadine pulled out Kesha's tomb plaque, then took out the food from his bag that would never rot and placed it in front of his wife's grave, pulling Keisha to her knees to worship.

The replay begins as Cassadine talks about his life to his deceased wife's spirit in the sky.

Looking at the lonely tomb, Cassadine secretly swore in his heart that when the great revenge was avenged and the children were settled, he would come back to accompany his deceased wife.

Although he is not related to the Keisha family, Kane is not comfortable watching this scene.

He felt that he had to do something, and that he was going to take over Keisha from Cassadine in the future, and that he should fit in.

Kane tried to cast a spell to spawn the old tree next to it, but this time his spell was successful, and the old tree pulled out new branches and shaded the tomb below.

Then he plucked a twig, placed it in front of the grave, and retreated to kneel beside Cassadine.

There are no flowers, and branches are used instead.

Cassadine looked at him silently, then went back to the past.

The memorial service lasted for a long time, until Cassadine's legs were paralyzed and he needed two people to help him stand up.

"I heard that in distant Ionia, the souls of the dead return to the Blooming Flower to say goodbye to their living relatives." Cassadine said with emotion.

"That's right." Kane nodded, it's a pity that they weren't born in Ionia, and the moment they die, their souls will be taken away by Qianjue.

If you die tragically in the void, even the soul will be annihilated.

Moreover, Noxus began to invade Ionia in the year they fell into the ground, and the war polluted the Pure Land, and the Blossoming Tree did not bloom for several years.

"It's a pity that I didn't learn a spell that can conjure spirits so that you and your aunt can meet again." Kane said.

"That's enough, let's go."

——

Following the current all the way to the west, the three of them came to Koharisse.

"Sai" in the Rai language refers to plains of sand and gravel, making people walk slowly and painfully.

The rivers are drying up here, and the desert is so hot that Cassadine is going crazy.

If Kane remembers correctly, this is the homeland of Zelas, the villain who single-handedly brought about the fall of the Shurima dynasty.

Kane opened the empty water bladder and unleashed a rudimentary spell, filling the bladder with a few mouthfuls of pure water.

Then he handed the water bladder to Cassadine: "The water element in the air here is too thin, let's quench your thirst with these first." ”

After Cassadine's memorial to his deceased wife, Kane found himself able to cast spells, and after thinking for a long time along the way, he realized that he had entered an area where the river of magic flowed, and that he had the conditions to cast spells that he did not have in Acacia.

Ordinary humans can't use wild magic directly, and they have to meditate on it to transform it into orderly mana to be able to use it freely.

Because he really started meditating not long ago, Kane barely had much mana stored in his body, and he could only cast some low-level spells on his own, and the more advanced ones had to use the tears of the goddess.

Tattooing a sigil on his body could increase his mana reserves, but Kane felt too ugly and resisted, and he didn't have the materials for the engraving.

"Thank you." Cassadine took the bladder and gulped it down, watering his throat that was so hot that it was about to smoke.

The water condensed by the magic was so clean that it didn't taste at all, and Cassadine didn't really like it.

As a desert man, he was accustomed to drinking the kind of muddy water mixed with sand and grit in his mouth, or drinking dirty well water like eating iron.

The three of them began to search for a water source, and only by following it could they walk through the desert.

As they walked in the sun-drenched desert, black dots suddenly appeared on the unchanging horizon.

Kane looked far away and saw that it was a group of many giant beasts.

"Uncle, there are many giant beasts ahead!"

"Many-beast!" Hearing this word, Cassadine's face was overjoyed: "Where there is full, there are herders, and where there are nomads, goods can be exchanged." Walk! Let's go over and see if we can change your clothes. ”

Cassadine got motivated, pulled the two of them and ran towards the team of behemoths, while Kane Keisha easily followed behind, looking at each other and smiling, and Cassadine did so.

Large, slow-moving, the Behemoths have massive chitin carapaces to protect themselves, and their evolutionary strength has allowed them to survive the long droughts and harsh conditions of Shurima.

As a result, some Shurima nomads choose to live on the backs of multi-man beasts in a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit.

Riders cleanse their bodies and repel approaching parasitic insects, while multi-man behemoths use their unknown senses to find hidden freshwater storage sites.

In general, it is difficult for humans to catch up with the many migrating beasts on foot.

But Cassadine was lucky, and the teams just stopped to rest and exchange supplies with another nomadic tribe, allowing them to catch up easily.

Coming to the back of a sand dune, when the three of them were just over a kilometer away from the behemoth team, Cassadine stopped and turned to ask Kane.

"Kane can already take off his skin armor, right?"

"Hmm." Kane hides behind a sand dune.

He couldn't get too close enough for the nomads to see him and Kaisha as they were.

"Then you stay here and don't move, I'll go buy you two sets of clothes first, and then you can change your clothes and come out." Cassadine nodded, and then left alone.

"Wait, uncle!" Kane poked his head out and shouted, "Do you have any money to trade?" ”

"Little cub, don't underestimate me." Cassadine raised his hand, and an object glistened in the sunlight.

It's a bracelet, I don't know which ancient person in the tower came from it.

Although I don't know if this thing can be regarded as an antique after time stops, it is definitely no problem to change two clothes.

"Father, when are you going to do it?" Keisha shouted.

"Just as we were leaving."

Cassadine waved his hand and ran towards the team of behemoths.
