Chapter 55: Finding Father
Although the goal of saving lives was achieved in the end, disappointment was inevitable.
However, Keisha had come to her senses, and she had luckily returned alive from the void, a skin that gave her a chance to live, but also made her carry some burdens.
She won't let her kindness flood anymore, and when she is broken, she will use different ways for people who don't stop, and say goodbye to the bottom line of boredom.
"Huh? Where no one is? Do you know where we're flying now? β
Seeing that he had shaken off the Void Beasts, Kane found a rock and stopped, and with a click, his mannelous wings were removed.
Flying was too energy-consuming, and he couldn't afford to burn it like this, otherwise he would soon be hungry.
"Oriental?" After landing, Keisha took off her helmet and looked around.
Although the desert sands were on all sides, Kesha's excellent sense of direction honed in the dull ground told her that they were moving away from the desert of Shurima to a more dangerous place.
She could feel her skin armor answering a call from afar.
"To the southeast, to be exact, we're going to the inaccessible city of Acacia." Kane said, taking off his helmet.
Although three and a half thousand years have passed since the Great War of the Void, Acacia, as an ancient battlefield, is still the most dangerous corner of the world.
It was a cancer in the corner of the Runeterras. And it continues to spread, spreading to the surrounding areas over a period of thousands of years.
This is also the reason why the underground at the edge of the Shurima Desert will be hollowed out by the Void.
True voids exist in another dimension, but for some reason, they look like they're crawling out of the ground.
And Acacia is the base camp of the void creatures in this world.
"Why go to Acacia? Is it to find the Prophet? β
Kesha's only impression of Acacia was the extremely dangerous Lost Lands, and she wondered what it was worth Kane risking to go there.
But she thought about it, and only hatred was worth it.
The Void Prophet and his Order have fooled too many ignorant villagers into willingly offering sacrifices in the center of panic, and feeding the Void will only hasten the end and eventually annihilation.
Originally, she didn't know that it was the prophet who caused her family to be ruined, and she was busy saving and time to take revenge, but now this hatred is driving her to become stronger step by step, and one day she will slash this life traitor.
But she didn't guess right, and Kane came up with an answer that she didn't expect.
"The Prophet is not in Acacia, he is preaching from city to city in Shurima, and we will come to him for revenge when we return. Now, we're going to your father. β
"Father?"
The sudden words involved Keisha's memories, and the word father was a little foreign to her.
Her father's face was blurred in her memory, and she could think of the closest thing outside of her father's body, the broken dagger, but it had to be discarded because it had been corrupted by the blood of the ethereal.
Kane reached out and patted Keisha's face to keep her from sinking.
"Did you know your father is still alive?"
"He was not at home on the night of the disaster, he went with the caravan to Piltover and did not return." Keisha stopped talking: "I'm not sure...... Whether he is still alive or not. β
Keisha thought that there might be a possibility that the entire village would die, and her father would be spared because of his running business.
"I wonder if he will find another woman in the desert and get married and have children?"
It's not that Keisha doesn't love her father, and it's because she loves him that she wants him to forget the pain and start over. If things turn out the way she thinks, then she probably already has a half-brother or sister by now, right?
"You're thinking too much, aren't you?" Kane raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Uncle has struggled extremely hard for half a lifetime to change to a happy and warm family, how can he just give up like this?" β
Keisha noticed that something was wrong, and she looked up at Kane, "Do you know a lot about my dad?" He hasn't talked much about his past with us. β
"I also heard from the old people in the village that they said that my uncle was an abandoned baby, and his career was very inspirational and very difficult." Kane scratched his head to hide his panic, and he only realized that Keisha knew very little about her father.
In the small village in the rocky valley to the south, the Keisha family is actually an outsider, and their ancestors are not here. The family came later, and Keisha had already been born at that time, and settled in the village with her loving parents in her infancy.
"Really? Can you tell me about it? β
Seeing Kane's constant scratching of her head, Keisha simply asked him to lie down on his lap and help him massage his scalp, in return for telling her about her father.
The sharp claws gently scratching the scalp will bring a terrifying touch, but Kane is used to it, and he still feels a little tingy, very sour, like scratching your bones, so cool that he can't stop shrinking his neck, as if his soul is about to be sucked away.
There is no need to worry about lice growing on their heads, the creatures that dare to parasitize their heads simply do not exist.
But if your hair grows long, you have a lot of dandruff and there is no water to wash it, and the itch will still itch, so the first thing Kane did when he returned to civilization was to cut this annoying hair short!
But that's not right...... Kane suddenly remembered that there must be scissors in the settlement.
Why didn't I pay attention to the demolition at the beginning, and took away some scissors and mirrors, but now it's a ruin, and I can't find it if I want to find it.
Kane didn't know much about Kesha's father's past, so he finished talking about it in a few words, and then talked about his whereabouts.
"Kane, why did you say you were going to find my dad in Acacia?" Keisha looked at Kane from above, starlight twinkling in her eyes.
"The Void has destroyed our village, so my uncle went to Acacia to seek revenge on the Void."
Kane was tempted to complain about this, as Kesha's father went to Acacia to seek revenge on the Void Prophet, but was not in the right placeβthe Prophet had left Acacia to return to Shurima for a mission after receiving the revelation.
Now he's still in Acacia, venting his hatred by killing the Void Monsters.
"That happened after we fell, how do you know what's going on?" Suspicion gradually rose, and the intensity of Kesha's massage suddenly increased, causing Kane to scream in pain.
"Under the light of the scorching sun of Shurima, there will always be those who are born with the ability to foresee the future, and the Prophet is such a person!"
"What do you say about the prophet? Tell me about yourself. Keisha pressed her index knuckle against Kane's skull and whirled left and right.
"I found out that I am actually the same kind of person as him, we can both control the Void creatures, but I knew that the future talent only awakened after coming into contact with the Void, but he was born with it. And there are differences in this talent, what I can see and when I see it, it's not up to me to decide. It's like a dream, and when you wake up from a dream, you suddenly have more memories. β
Kane casually prevaricated Keisha, and she couldn't verify the truth anyway, so she could only choose to believe it.
As a time-traveler, he knew that many great events would happen in the future, and they focused on their twentieth year. He had to be strong enough before that.
