Earth time in mid-June 2015, on the southern shore of the Dawnboat in the northern part of the Acacia Peninsula, in the territory of the Shurima Empire.

Cassadine was a well-known tradesman, elegant and easy-going, and usually kind to people. What no one could have imagined, though, was that before Azir resurrected and re-established the Solar Empire, he was a grave robber who was accustomed to making money from the dead.

It wasn't until the Sun Empire was re-established that the ancient empire was revived in this vast desert, bringing hope to the ancient Shurima people, and many former bandits, thieves, and tomb robbers chose to wash their hands in the golden basin.

So for several years, Cassadine has been traveling with his companions to Piltover and the Pulse Bazaar in the southwest, exchanging the desert's specialty goods with the city of progress.

On this day, Cassadine and his companions walked through the desert, followed by seemingly endless camels, which were loaded with goods and came to the north shore of the Oasis of Dawn.

Boarding the ferry and entering the river, the long queue makes it seem that this is another journey that can make him a lot of money, because it is on the river in the oasis of dawn, so everyone has changed the depression when walking on the desert before, and everyone gathers on the deck of the ferry to talk and laugh.

"Cassadine! This time, we have been out for half a year, I must have missed your wife and daughter, right? ”

Men who walk in the desert all year round have dark skin, and when hope brings joy, they can't help but grin and show their white teeth.

Seeing that his companion Man seemed to have the intention of turning the "spearhead" to himself, Cassadine, a man who looked a little thin, smiled indifferently and said:

"O you! It's just crazy to play, I can't imagine my fun at all! ”

"After traveling for half a year, there is always a beautiful woman thinking about herself, and there is a lovely daughter who calls her father! You know the fun? Envy go! ”

Cassadine's words made everyone laugh for a while, and they all stopped talking about Cassadine's family.

Because it is true, as he said, that they do not understand the beauty of having a home, or that they cannot have the beauty of a home, after all, not all women can endure loneliness like Cassadine's wife.

In comparison, it was the girls in the marrow seal market who were dressed up in flowers, or they came directly and happily.

As for what his companions think, Cassadine has been with them for a long time after all, so he knows it, but he has no right to interfere in other people's lives, so he just smiled helplessly.

As long as the inland rivers are not limited by the terrain, the general flow speed is very smooth, let alone in this endless desert.

A dozen ferries soon docked, and Cassadine and his companions were busy handing over the cost of the ferries with the boatmen while organizing the camels to come ashore.

They had a few days to go to the Seal Bazaar to sell the goods they were carrying on their camels.

Just after cooperating with his partners to pull a team of camels off the ferry, Cassadine turned his head and found that on the other side of the pier, a familiar figure seemed to be preparing to board the boat.

"Dugan!" Cassadine opened his mouth to call the other man's name, but the man didn't seem to hear it, and just bowed his head and continued to board the ship.

Seeing this strange situation, Cassadine hurriedly said hello to his companions, and then walked towards the familiar back.

The closer he got to that back, the more certain Cassadine's heart was that this back was Dugan, his neighbor in the same village.

Came behind the back, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Dugan! How could you be willing to throw your son down and run out on your own! ”

This way of greeting is all too common for the Shurima people, especially Cassadine and Dugan. It's not uncommon to see each other in the same village, pat on the shoulder, hug or prank or something.

But this time, Dugan's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Cassadine, and when his palm slapped on his shoulder, Dugan seemed to have seen the most terrifying demon in the world.

In an instant, he collapsed on the ground and poured feces and urine, and a foul smell instantly filled the surrounding air, making the faces of the people around who were about to board the ship involuntarily walk away, so as not to contaminate their bodies with these foul-smelling substances.

Cassadine couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, he didn't understand that he was just saying hello, how could this friend of his have such a big reaction?

But fortunately, Cassadine has been walking in the desert all year round and has seen all kinds of people, and he just glanced at it and found that although Dugan's state was caused by fright, this fright was definitely not caused by himself.

Quickly squatting down beside Dugan, barely controlling the other party's hands dancing in front of him, Cassadine asked with concern on his face:

"Dugan! Dugan! It's me, I'm Cassadine! You see, I'm Cassadine! ”

Perhaps it was Cassadine's familiar tone that made Dugan wake up from the horror in his heart, and his panicked eyes gradually became a hint of light, and he glanced at Cassadine a few times before he said as if he had suddenly realized:

"Cassadine? Are you Cassadine? ... It's you! ... I thought it was them! ”

"Who are they?"

This sentence was just asked by Cassadine subconsciously, but what he didn't expect was that his simple question seemed to open up Dugan's deep nightmare.

Without the slightest preparation from Cassadine, Dugan quickly broke out of his control, then held his arms tightly, and listened to Dugan say:

"Cassadine, listen to me, don't go home! Absolutely not going home, it's so horrible there now, our home is gone. ”

"Now we are the only two of us in our house, let's run, they will definitely come to us!"

Dugan's words seemed a little incoherent, but some of the key words still made Cassadine's heart startle, and he grabbed the other party's arm with his backhand.

Cassadine roared with tears in his eyes: "Dugan! What did you say? Our home is gone? What about my wife? What about daughters? How are they? ”

Perhaps it was Cassadine's hideous face that made Dugan sober up, and at this moment tears welled up in the eyes of a big man, and he cried and said:

"I'm sorry, Cassadine. I know you don't want to believe it, but our hometown, our relatives are all gone, including yours... Yours... Your wife and daughter! ”

"What did you see with your own eyes?" Cassadine tried to make the last struggle.

But then the words of his fellow countrymen extinguished all his hopes, and he heard Duggan say, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Those bug-like creatures killed all the folks who dared to resist. ”

"I wanted to run out with my wife and children, but those bugs were running too fast, and my wife couldn't keep up with me with the children, so... So... Wow!!!! ”

Dugan said that at the end of the expression, his expression was sad, and Cassadine couldn't help but feel lost.

At this time, Cassadine's companions in the distance had already rushed over when they saw what was happening here, and they had all heard what Dugan had just said.

One of the companions quickly seized the loophole in Dugan's words and comforted Cassadine:

"Brother, don't you often tell us that your daughter is a very eccentric girl? Maybe she'll take her mother to find a place to hide! ”

The words of his companion were like a light in the night, bringing a glimmer of light to Cassadine's dark heart.

I saw him suddenly look up at his companion, and after a long while, he nodded and said with a surprised expression, "Yes, Kai'Sa may find a place to hide." ”

"She used to play hide and seek with me, maybe she's really okay now. I'm going to save their mother and daughter, I'll go first! ”

With that, he turned around and ran to his camel, drew a weapon with a unique shape, left the dock, and set out on the way home.
