Rod's Shurima language scared Kaisha - she didn't expect Rhodes to understand Shurima.

"Who are you?" Kai'Sa subconsciously spoke, "Why do you say Shurima?" ”

Well, the speech is fairly organized.

Rod tentatively unleashes a [Proficient Language: Lingua Franca] for Kaisha.

Kai'Sa was in a trance, and when she recovered, she found herself somehow learning a language—the kind she could only speak.

"Who are you?"

Using lingua franca, Kai'Sa repeated her words with some hesitation.

"I'm Rhodes." Rod summoned his flying carpet and sat down relaxed, "More importantly, who you are - why are you attacking me." ”

"Because you're a lackey of the void." Kaisha's tone was a little subtle, "I thought you were one of those who called out to the Void and fed the Void with a village......"

“…… Why do you make such a strange judgment? Rhodes raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Is my spell like a spell from the Void Prophet?" ”

"I don't want to." Kai'Sa shook her head, "But you're trying to break the boundaries between the Void and Shurima. ”

"But there are hernias everywhere here, and the borders are already full of holes."

"I didn't notice that, it's not very good to judge the location from the ground."

This little girl was unexpectedly easy to talk to, and between the questions and answers, Rod felt quite interesting.

"You haven't told me your name yet?"

Keisha ...... No, it's Kaisha. ”

"Why are you so honest?"

"I feel like I've misjudged something."

Hearing Kai'Sa say this, Rod finally couldn't help but laugh - this little girl's frankness was far beyond his imagination, and she was now tied up by herself, but she looked embarrassed, which was simply too interesting.

With a wave of his hand, Rhodes untied the shackles of the scorching sun on Kaisha.

"Miss Kaisha." Rod stretched out his hand and motioned for Kai'Sa to sit on the blanket, "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Rhodes, and I am here to understand the Void and fight against the Void." ”

"......" Kai'Sa didn't speak, just stared at Rhodes.

"So." After a long time, Kai'Sa finally spoke cautiously, "Mr. Rod, are you still human?" ”

“？？？”

The nonsensical question made Rod look confused.

"It told me." Kai'Sa pointed to her Void Armor, "It can't feel your life. ”

"That's what you're talking about." Rod shrugged, "A little trick against the Void - I don't want the grinding and chirping thoughts echoing in my ears all the time. ”

Rod's complaint was very pointed—it made Kaisha's eyes light up after suffering from the Void.

"Unbelievable." Kai'Sa hesitated for a moment, finally sitting down on the flying carpet, "You heard the whispers of the Void too—I've met some people after hearing the whispers of the Void...... It's all crazy. ”

Speaking of those who had fallen into madness in the Void, Kaisha's tone finally fell into a bit of a dismay—while she had been doing her best to maintain the boundaries of the Void and Shurima, she often saw a mess when she had seen the boundaries and reacted and finally arrived at the battlefield.

Most of those people have become prey to the Void, and only a few pure-minded children may escape and be sent out of the Void by Kaisha.

"You're the first adult I've ever met who can stay calm after hearing the whispers of the Void." Kai'Sa spoke subconsciously, then quickly added after noticing that the wording was wrong, "I mean—adults. ”

"No, no, no." Rod shook his head, "It's not the only one - there's another one here." ”

"Who?" Kaisha's eyes widened unexpectedly, "Who else?" ”

"It's me." Jax didn't know when he got to Kaisha's side, "Uh, can you give me an egg?" ”

Rod laughed, pulled out two hard-boiled eggs that were still hot from the storage space, and handed them to Jax.

This time, Jax, who eats the boiled eggs, did not use the frighteningly fast technique to hide his face under the mask, and he took it off in a rare and generous manner.

The rugged face was no longer recognizable, and the purple void scars made this otherwise heroic face hideous and terrifying—Jax's appearance surprised not only Kaisha, but also several people in the company.

"Your face?"

"It's about the same as the little guy on you." Jax peeled off the eggshell, bit off half of the boiled egg, and said with some slurred words, "But unlike you, it was a big guy who left me these traces, and I was lucky, at least I didn't lose my life directly." ”

Kai'Sa blinked, suddenly not knowing what she was supposed to say.

Jax's state was obviously completely beyond Kaisha's expectations, she never thought that someone would be injured by the Void to the point where they would not die - what was even more amazing was that Kai'Sa knew very well how much the Void's whispers affected people, and in front of her, there were two people who resisted this terrible whisper.

"It's really nothing." Jax quickly ate a hard-boiled egg, "The only trouble with these wounds is ...... Being in the sun for a long time can be a little painful, but in addition to that, they even have some subtle benefits. ”

"Benefits?"

Everyone looked at Jax in surprise.

"That's right." Jax nodded, "You can guess how old I am now." ”

"Looks ...... Maybe forty or so? Kai'Sa blinked, "I'm sorry, but I'm not very good at finding out other people's ages. ”

"Actually, I'm older than ten forty." Jax ate the second boiled egg, "Little one, I really advise you, if you can, please get rid of that thing behind you, the Void is not a good companion, it is an eternal curse......"

It seemed that because of the high temperature, Jax's face was white - Rhodes made ice cubes to cool down the ice as soon as possible, and Jax took the ice cubes and put on his mask directly.

Kai'Sa was already stunned, she didn't expect the Void to have such an effect anyway!

Eternal curse!

And like Kaisha, the others were lost in thought because of Jax's words, and even Rhodes had a little new idea because of Jax's words.

Do those who are deceived by vanity seek eternal life?

After a long time, when everyone had recovered from the shocking scene, they finally began to ask Jax about him and the Void - in the past, they had only felt Jax's strength, but now, for the first time, they had discovered that Jax had such a story behind him.

It's hard to say whether this inquiry was out of curiosity or some other emotion, but in any case, Jax's scene was impressive enough.

"So." Kai'Sa hesitated, but chose to ask Rod, "Is he really ......"

"That's right." Rhodes nodded, "He was a witness to the fall of Acacia, and even he himself was a native of Acacia. ”

"That's terrible." At this moment, Kaisha's eyes overflowed with sympathy, "His country has been ruined by the Void, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Rod nodded, "But there's a long story to go about — I can tell you about it, but you also have to tell me why you ended up underground and became the way you were." ”

"Uh, yes."

After a slight hesitation, Kai'Sa nodded.

……………………

Rhodes briefly tells Jax's story - and after learning the origin of the Void, Kaisha's expression becomes visibly complicated.

Despite wearing the Void Armor, Kaisha's hatred for the Void is unspeakable - in this case, her feelings for the Acacians are naturally complicated.

They are the victims of the Void, but they are also the ones who started it all - Kaisha, who has struggled to survive in the Void since she was a child, has a hard time understanding what a country is, what freedom is, and what is conquest, but she has a simple logic.

Those people can give up their lives for the sake of freedom and their country, and then freedom and the motherland should be more important than life.

Following this logic, maybe these Acacians didn't do anything wrong other than resorting to the Void?

Kaisha's mind was a mess.

And Rhodes, who finished telling the story, looked at Kaisha: "Now, it's time to tell me about yourself, why did you appear in the Void under Acacia?" ”

"Me?" Kai'Sa struggled to remember the past, "That was a long time ago. ”

"Trust me." Hearing Kai'Sa say this, Rod smiled, "Here, I'm afraid your story won't be long to tell." ”

"Uh, okay." Kai'Sa was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, it wasn't too long—it was probably more than a decade ago." ”

"At that time, I was very young, my father was out to earn money, and I stayed in the village with my mother."

"Then a lot of people in the village came with headscarves, and they asked us for tribute, but we didn't give it, and then they had to pay for it — they were very rich, and I was still wondering why they were asking for it when they were so rich."

"Then they bought a lot of livestock, among them the goats of the Rum family, and I remember that the goats were very well-behaved, and I wanted to save them, so I took advantage of the evening and cut the ropes around the necks of the goats."

"I was supposed to hide the goats behind the dunes, but I didn't expect a hernia to appear there, so it all fell into place, the goats shook the void, we all became sacrifices, and when I woke up, I went underground."

"As for this guy." Kai'Sa stretched out her finger and tapped the carapace on her body, "Maybe I killed it, maybe it caught me, I can't say anything about it." ”

After listening to Kaisha's simple narration, Rod began to subconsciously rub his chin.

"Do you remember who those people who bought the goats were?"
