Chapter 25 Zilam
Looking up to the south, although he could only see the endless Shining Silver Mountains, Qilam always felt that he could see the pillar of light that contained great power.
It was the Giant God Peak, a place that was pinned on by itself, but terrified with the cruel reality.
He didn't save the tribe and lost his wife.
His wife was still there, but she had lost her duty and chose to become a warrior for God.
Maybe after that pillar of flame light fell, his wife was no longer human.
God's warriors are also gods, and gods and humans cannot live together, even if that god gives birth to two lovely daughters for himself.
Thankfully, the daughter in the womb did not become a terrible god with his wife.
The man in a simple cloth coat sighed and tightened the tattered sack behind his back to make sure that the few wild sweet potatoes contained in the sack did not fall to the ground through the hole.
This is the ration for him and his two daughters for a day, even if it is for his daughters, he has to live strongly, just like when he fled from the Giant God Peak and came to the land of Demacia, which he hated in a rocking boat.
It was only in this place without magic that he could feel that he had escaped from his wife's terrifying gaze that was as hot as a flame, and that was the only reason he had chosen to live in this unpleasant land.
"Gentiles! Please stay away from us! There are enough refugees in Demacia, we don't need anyone to come and grab land and food from us! ”
With the whistling sound of waving a wooden stick, and a reprimand from a certain Demacian villager came from behind him, as if someone had pierced him with a sharp arrow, and Ziram craned his shoulders and quickened his pace as if he hadn't heard anything.
He thought he was walking with dignity, but in the eyes of the Demacians, the Gentile refugee shrank like a filthy rat and trotted all the way out of the village.
There was a little more laughter in the village.
To the southeast, on the outskirts of a quiet forest near the plains of Nockmochi, is Zilam's home for himself and his two daughters.
Because there were no Demacians or Mombians, Ziram chose to build a humble wooden house there.
At least let his daughter grow up a little, at least let the xenophobic Demacians accept him a little more, otherwise he didn't dare to imagine what to do if someone had malicious intentions to take away his daughter, he was very incompetent, neither was he chosen by the Giant God Peak, nor was he chosen by his wife, and even the xenophobic Demacians did not accept him, and he could only flee in fear.
Thinking of his daughter's lovely face, Ziram, who knew the sinister nature of people's hearts, sighed and disappeared on the border of Demacia.
When he was approaching the Forest of Tranquility, Ziram stood vigilantly in place, for in the direction he was coming from him, a dozen soldiers with weapons in their arms came running, and from their attire they could be recognized as warriors of the Mombiya tribe.
'Are the Mombians going to invade Demacia?' ’
The man froze in place, motionless.
Perhaps a quick return to Demacia and telling the Demacians about the Mombian invasion would make the Demacians identify with him more, but what if his act of turning around and fleeing aroused the hostility of the Mombian warriors? What if you die here? What would my daughter do if she died here?
Not knowing what the man standing there trembling like a quail was thinking, a kind Mombia rout said loudly.
"Hey! That man! Noxus has conquered the Plains of Noxumage! If you see a Noxian soldier, run away! Don't let the Noxians chop off their heads! ”
Ignoring Ziram, whose face was stiff, the rout ran towards the west non-stop, as if it was really followed by a millions of Noxian troops.
Seeing the group of Mombia soldiers leave in a hurry, Zilam breathed a sigh of relief, but only slightly, for he immediately remembered what the soldiers had said about the occupation of the Norkmerch Plains by the Noxians.
"I have just settled down in the Quiet Forest, and my daughter's weak body can no longer withstand the long journey.
What's more, if he forcibly took his daughter to settle in Demacia, there were beggars who could not work, and with the xenophobia of Demacia, he would probably be forcibly beaten and expelled, and the Mombians were defeated, and the Noxians were even more terrible......"
Looking up at the sky, Ziram always felt that the world was so big that there was no place for himself and his daughter to stand.
"Anyway, let's go back first, my daughter is still hungry."
In a simple wooden house on the outskirts of the Quiet Forest, two little girls with black and muddy faces sat shoulder to shoulder on the cold ground with their legs crossed, and their tattered linen shorts did not make the two little ones feel warm, especially when their stomachs were 'gurgling'.
"Sister, I'm hungry~ Where is Dad?"
The little black-haired girl took her sister's little hand aggrievedly, and her big eyes were full of mist.
"Sister, I'm hungry too, and my dad hasn't come back yet."
Holding her sister's little hand, the blonde sister looked into her sister's eyes and felt that her eyes were beginning to blur.
Hunger will make people lose the ability to think, and extreme hunger will make people collapse.
Seeing that her sister was about to cry, the sister who was the first to cry hugged her sister.
"Woooooooooo......oo Daddy (choked) Dad will be able to come back with food soon, don't be afraid, there is a sister with you (choked). ”
"Sister don't cry, woo wow wow, sister don't cry wow......"
The two sisters comforted each other, but the effect was very poor, but they cried at the same time, one louder than the other.
Finally stopping their crying, the two sisters began to whisper, and for the little girl, this was the only way to stop being hungry.
"Sister, why did you say Mom left Dad?"
"Nonsense! Obviously, my father chose to leave my mother, but my mother was just very busy and busy, but she never left us. ”
"Woo, sister, you're talking nonsense! Obviously, Dad wants to reconcile with Mom and wants Mom to go with us, but Mom has been refusing, but has alienated Dad, why do you say that Dad left Mom? ”
Sent away the arm holding her sister, and her sister puffed up her bun face.
"Sister, Mom didn't abandon us, it was Dad who took us away from Mom, do you understand? It was Dad who abandoned Mom, although ...... Although it is also for our good, this does not change the fact that Dad abandoned Mom. ”
"You talk nonsense!"
Aggrievedly, she let go of the hand holding her sister, and her sister refused to speak angrily.
The cold war between the two sisters continued until there was a knock on the wooden door with the deadbolt pulled, and the two sisters covered their mouths with panic in their eyes.
"Misha? Sheena? ”
"It's Daddy!! (*2)”
The panic dissipated, and the joyful two sisters hugged each other again and cheered a little.
The wooden door was opened from the inside, and Zi Lam smiled and put down the broken sack on his shoulder, and opened his arms to hold the two lovely daughters in his arms.
Only at this time, as a father, he will definitely not back down in the face of any difficulties, even if he will die in the next moment.
He didn't know why, he just knew that he could do it.
