Chapter Seventy-Five: The Void Eye's Gaze
"Kane, come and see this thing."
Cassadine doesn't talk much on weekdays, and rarely talks to Kane except for a few necessary words.
So as soon as Kane heard his voice, he immediately took his eyes off the book and looked at Cassadine, who was walking towards him.
"Look at this, I'm dizzy just by looking at it."
Kane took the manuscript, only glanced at it a few times, first stunned, then fanatical.
This manuscript is worth more than all the books in the entire tower!
Although excited, Kane patiently read through the manuscript first.
Cassadine saw that he didn't show signs of dizziness, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that Kane's ability to digest information was really high.
"This is a mage's essay on the laws of time." After reading the manuscript, Kane concluded.
"The law of time? No wonder it makes people dizzy to look at, those mage masters are crazy in their thoughts......" Cassadine rubbed his temples, trying to banish the vertigo from his mind.
"Those mages dare to touch the void, what else do they dare not?" Keisha took over the topic, and it was time to find a chance to relieve herself from the boring meditation.
Kane sneered, the owner of this manuscript was one of the few mages who opposed the release of the Void by the Enforcement Council, and perhaps he was looking at him at this moment, he didn't want to make a bad impression by saying bad things to people's faces.
"Uncle, thank you for finding this manuscript, it's very useful." Kane smiled sincerely.
The owner of this manuscript is the one who has come closest to success in studying the laws of time since ancient times, and if Kane can draw any inspiration from it, it will allow him to advance in this field like never before.
Kane continued to look at the manuscript, but Cassadine had no intention of ending the conversation.
He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Kane, I don't think there's any information about Eternal Flame in the tower. ”
Kane looked up, puzzled.
"I went through all the books, and none of them explained its origins, and none of them told us how to get this flame." Cassadine was stunned, it was a lifesaver for the family.
If he knew which tomb it was, he would go down and explore it, no matter how dangerous it was.
"Good work, uncle." Kane sat Cassadine down: "This tower is just the private library of a certain parliamentary mage, not the privy library of the state, and it is normal that there is nothing to be recorded, you don't need to blame yourself." ”
Cassadine nodded in silence, but he didn't give up.
If we can find a magical artifact like the Blade of the Underworld, which has slain countless void creatures, we may be able to suppress the erosion of the void......
He didn't know Kane had another option.
While Cassadine was asleep, Kane was still studying the manuscript, and he was fascinated by this read, and he couldn't put it down.
It wasn't until Keisha pressed Kane down to sleep on a mat that he let go of the manuscript.
But even with his eyes closed, he was still savoring the contents of the manuscript and watching how the writer deduced the essence step by step.
Occasionally, a ridiculous idea will pop up, such as an ordinary candle flame that has been cast with the magic of time stopping, can it be called an eternal flame?
Apparently not. There is a candlestick in the tower that proves that it does not pose any threat to the Void Skin Armor.
If you live comfortably for too long, it is easy to ignore the coming of the crisis.
As long as you stay in the tower, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Void creatures. Coupled with Kane's original meditation method, the two have completely become otaku and otaku, ruthless learning machines that live by "photosynthesis".
Cassadine also rarely goes out, as Keisha tells him that the real Void is unkillable, nor is it an existence they can seal. So his daily routine has become exercising and reading books in the tower, taking into account the observation of the outside world.
And on this day, Cassadine leaned against the window as usual and stared into the distance.
Black clouds cover the sun, and the tides in the abyss rise and fall eternally, making people confused what kind of dimension the other side of the realm is.
Curious, no one really dared to try.
Just as Cassadine was distracted, a strange light met his eyes.
Not a flash of thunder, but a continuous illumination.
This strange light made his eyes sore, tearful, and the capillaries were congested and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and appeared conspicuously on the whites of his eyes.
And he didn't even see what the light source was.
"Kane!" Cassadine had to close his eyes and call out to Kane.
Kane was reading a book in one hand and holding a mirror in the other, using Keisha as a dressing mirror for the combing of her hair, and when he heard Cassadine's eager voice, he hurried over without even putting down the things in his hand.
"What happened?" Kane saw Cassadine's eyes in tears and approached him.
As he walked to the window, he suddenly felt a warm purple light shining on his face, and his skin immediately rose with a splitting tingle.
He immediately leaned his back against the wall, dodging the purple light coming in from the window, and then picked up the mirror and reached into the light from the sky, adjusting the direction a little to reflect the scene outside the window.
He was stunned by what was reflected in the mirror.
It was a huge, bulging one-eye, jumping out of the arc of annihilation. It twitched suddenly, and its narrow vertical pupils shrank and shrank, revealing a thoughtful look.
Even through a mirror, Kane could feel a hunger beyond imagination.
This hunger is not a thirst for flesh, but something deeper.
It's thirsty for knowledge!
"Be careful! It's Vikz! ”
"Vikz?!" Cassadine, whose eyes were stung with tears in his eyes, was terrified when he heard the name.
Anyone who knows even a little bit about the ancient legend of Shurima will know the meaning of the name Vikz.
Although the name cannot be accurately translated into modern languages, it is roughly equivalent to "by breaking down and thus understanding." ”
That is, "knowledge comes from decomposition"
It is a monster that existed long before the birth of Shurima's civilization, and is the earliest void creature in recorded history.
And now, it's watching them!
Vikz was looking at the ruins in front of him.
Although there was not a single creature in this space, it did feel a throbbing of life in front of its eyes.
It was just a routine trip back to Acacia, bringing the knowledge it had gained over the years through the split back to the Great Rift in the material base of the Runeterras, and handing it over to the watchers of the Void.
But unexpectedly, I unexpectedly felt the throbbing of life in the ancient city that had been destroyed for many years.
It was like a burst of frosted glass, and he vaguely felt that something was moving in front of him, which aroused Vikz's curiosity.
And the curiosity that comes from the Void Eye is extremely deadly.
