In the skull prison, Thresy is kneeling on an ancient magical skull.

"Maharaja, I'm afraid Foyego already knows that it was my hand on Isolde."

The magical skull, glowing green, floated abruptly, and a dark green fire burned between the brow bones.

"It's okay, Foyego is an idle move, if it gets out of control, I will make a move."

"Yes."

"Thressy, I want you to do something yourself."

"Command, Maharaja, and the servant listens."

"Part of the authority of the River Styx was stolen by the Mother of Masks, and she made a self-made artifact that can bring the dead back to life, hidden somewhere in the material realm, I want you to find this artifact, bring it to me, and do this, and I will give you the method of flesh and bones."

The thought that he could finally regain his body made Thressi's heart feel irrepressible joy, and even his bones lightened a lot.

"An artifact that brings the dead back to life? Is there anything so unreasonable in the world? ”

"Yes, this artifact can reverse the soul energy of the River Styx and the material realm, which is very important to my great cause.

Seresi, you have to do this with all your might, and Foyego doesn't need you to worry about it. ”

"Understood, Ceressi will do it."

……

The Immortal Fortress, in the workshop area of the outer city, is located an antique appraisal shop called 'Eye of the Desert', which is mainly engaged in appraisal, and by the way, resells some real and fake antiques, with excellent eyesight, the business gradually spreads.

The owner of the Eye of the Desert came out of the village of Bocuse in the south of Shurima with his wife and daughter, and followed the imperial adventurer to Kassaiadion in the Noxian Empire.

In order to start a new life in Noxus, Casssadien renamed himself the more concise Cassadine, and used the money he earned to build a relatively remote shop in the workshop area of the Immortal Fortress.

On this day, Cassadine, who runs an antique shop, was wiping the high imitations in the store, and his wife Samana, who was supposed to work in the leather yard, came to the door, with a smile that Cassadine couldn't understand, the man's face couldn't help but be startled, and he gritted his teeth.

"Pregnant? Which bastard's? Dare to touch my wife? I'm going to kill him! ”

Samana rolled her eyes.

"Pregnant with a fart! Who can force me as long as I don't want to? I'm enough to guard you old man for the rest of my life!

I heard from the workers that the Cana Church is going to openly recruit children under the age of ten as apprentices, this is a golden opportunity, our little Binsqi is already nine years old, we can't always keep the girl around, it's time for our girl to go out and have more contact with her peers,

If you miss it again this year, you really won't have a chance, the empire is so powerful, you don't really want little Kaisha to inherit your little shop, right? ”

"Little shop? Isn't it all about this small shop that our family can live such a good life now? And what's so bad about learning antique appraisal with me? The antiques are full of money as soon as they are handed over, isn't it better than showing up outside? ”

"Do you think the Noxian Empire is the same as the Shurima Desert? Wasn't there no way for you to resell antiques at the beginning, but now that our children have a better way, why don't you go? What's wrong with the showman? Isn't it safer than the village of Bocuse? ”

Seeing that he couldn't convince his wife, Cassadine rubbed his nose with a little headache, and Samana continued to persuade.

"Old man, little Keisha is very good at learning Noxian, and she is so smart and clever, and the Cana church will not eat our daughter, so she will enter school for free, what are you worried about?"

"It's not that I'm worried, I'm just ...... It's just a little hard to accept for a while...... Binschi has never left my side......"

"There are three days of vacation in two months, and it's not that I can't see you, out of breath!"

With a soft sigh, Cassadine whispered.

"Anyway, I'll have to ask Binschi what she thinks, if she doesn't want to ......"

"Already agreed."

"What!?"

The old father looked at his smiling wife in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"I, my daughter, she doesn't want me anymore?"

"I asked Keisha yesterday, and she said she wanted to see the outside world, Cassadine, children will always grow up, you can't care about it for the rest of your life, right?"

"Why not? As long as you and Binsqi are willing, I am willing to take care of you for the rest of your life! ”

"But we don't want to? There was no way before, but now there is a better way to go, so why not try? ”

“……”

"You may not know it, but Binsqi's form has been a bit sluggish lately."

Cassadine, who had no intention of running a shop, directly hung up the door sign that it was closed, and the couple went directly back to the residential area and walked into the purchased bungalow.

Samana stopped in the courtyard to leave space for the father and daughter, Cassadine tiptoed to the outside of her daughter's house, looked through the crack in the door, but saw Keisha sitting on the windowsill looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the confusion on the side face was distressing - he thought that his daughter would read a book when he was not at home, but he didn't expect to be in a daze at the sky.

Usually I don't feel anything, but Cassadine has a sad feeling at the moment, he never thought that his desire to protect would make his daughter 'not free' pain, he just wanted to make up for all the missing time with his daughter in the past, but now he has a problem idle.

Taking a deep breath, Cassadine knocked on the door.

"Binschi?"

"Daddy?"

Keisha came back to her senses and saw Cassadine's very guilty gaze, and quickly stood up to meet her and open the door.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"At home...... Isn't it a little stuffy? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Keisha nodded in a low mood.

"I don't know why, I just can't lift my spirits, and I can't sleep......"

Pulling her sullen daughter to sit on the edge of the bed, Cassadine whispered.

"Mom told you about the church in Jana...... Do you really want to go? ”

"Mom and Dad have their own things to do, it's better than me staying home alone, right?"

"Well, Dad will take you to the Cana church today, and if it's appropriate, try to join the church as an apprentice."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, Dad's good daughter grows up and should also go out to see the world."

Kesha's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she felt the change in her daughter's attitude, and Cassadine was sure that she had made no mistake.

It was already ten o'clock, and the family of three locked the door and went directly to the commercial street to eat in the tavern.

In the Immortal Fortress, there are twelve churches of the goddess of wind, Cana, the largest main church and three sub-churches for worshippers in the inner city, and eight churches in different distributions in the outer city, which is more than four times the size of the inner city.

There are not so many churches of the other goddess [Children of the Stars], and there are only three main churches in the inner city.

Such a disparity in number is not because of favoritism, but because the selection conditions of the Church of the Children of the Stars are too harsh.

The mere possession of magical talent is enough to wipe out most of the believers who aspire to join the Church, and only selected true believers are eligible to become members of the Church of the Children of the Stars.

Of course, the lack of churches does not affect the status of the Children of the Stars in the hearts of the Empire, the followers of the Children of the Stars are much more popular than the followers of the Goddess of the Wind, after all, in the vast Empire, only the followers of the Children of the Stars are willing to use magic to cure the sick of the needy.

The location of the Church of the Goddess of the Wind is not too far, and it is only an hour's journey by carriage, and in the planning of the Immortal Fortress, the churches of the two goddesses are all located on the high ground isolated from the mundane market.

On the cyan brick stone steps, many Imperial people with children were already silently climbing the mountain, looking around, Cassadine was surprised to find that his daughter was already an older girl.

In this way, it is indeed difficult to drag it out any longer.

Looking up at the bluebirds gliding above the sky, Cassadine spoke.

"The goddess of Cana was originally the god of Zuan, and was abandoned by Zuan many times, but she became the goddess of the empire under the will of His Majesty Lester.

"Goddess Jana has performed miracles more than once, but I don't understand why the Zuan people are reluctant to worship Lady Jana honestly."

Cassadine looked at his wife with a smile, and the woman bared her teeth in annoyance.

"I thought you had been thinking about getting Keisha into school all day, and you must have learned a lot about the Goddess of Wind."

"I'm just a savage desert tribesman, I don't know anything, I'm far worse than you know-it-all, okay?"

"Hey, you're still angry when you say you don't learn anything......"

"Mom and Dad, don't quarrel, okay~"

Keisha shook her parents' hands and pleaded softly, and the couple gave up.

"If you want to take the apprenticeship exam, you must first register your household registration here."

When he came to the door of the church, Cassadine saw a lot of wind warriors with pigtails and katana swords in the crowd.

These warriors who have learned the sword art of Ionia against the wind are the main force of the military force of the Church of the Goddess of Wind, and they live in the settlement near the church on weekdays, focusing on maintaining the law and order of the church and guarding the teachings of the goddess.

Perhaps because of the rotation, every once in a while, the Wind Samurai in each church will change to a new batch.

The core armed force is the Wind Nun who serves the goddess all her life, the number of Wind Nuns is not large, and each Wind Nun is an extremely powerful wind mage, selected and trained by the church, and is the most faithful believer and warrior of the goddess.

The Sister of the Wind is proficient in the teachings of the Goddess of the Wind, and has a high status in the Church, which is sacrosanct, and the higher status is the Wind Sacrifice where the Sister of the Wind was born, and at this moment the presiding person is a dignified woman wearing a sacrificial robe, and the status of the Wind Sacrifice is second only to the Holy Maiden of the Wind, and the status of the Wind Sacrifice is supreme in the branch church.

The four long lines stood in line for about half an hour, and finally it was Cassadine's turn, who was in charge of recording the ordinary Breez, and the person in charge of questioning was a beautiful Sister of the Winds.

Handed the Immortal Fortress property certificate and the Imperial household registration nameplate to the Sister of the Wind, who nodded and handed the materials to the Cultist in charge of the record.

The congregation recorded some of the information and handed out a form.

"Can you write?"

"Yes."

"Fill out this form."

"Okay."

As Cassadine filled out the form, Sister Wind beckoned to Keisha, who was watching from behind her mother, with a soft face.

"What a cute little girl, you're little Keisha? How old is this year? ”

"Sister, I'm just nine years old this year."

Hearing the question, Keisha stood up from behind her mother and bowed politely to the nun.

"Hand it to my sister, and my sister will help you see if you have any magical talent, okay?"

Samana looked overjoyed, and there was a hint of anticipation in her heart.

Keisha obediently stepped forward and handed out her little hand, and the nun took Kesha's right hand and began to check Kesha's magical talents.

It didn't matter if this investigation was made, the nun's face changed, which startled the mother and daughter.

"Nun, is there any problem?"

Cassadine, who lowered his head to fill in the form, realized that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw the nun's slightly uneasy face, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Letting go of Keisha's little hand, the nun adjusted her expression and whispered.

"Your daughter...... It's a little more complicated...... All you need to know is that little Keisha is involved in something very dangerous...... I need to ask for a hint of the Louisa sacrifice. ”

After speaking, the nun didn't wait for the three of them to react, and left the registration point with a glance at the wind warrior next to her.

A panicked Cassadine took Kesha's little hand and prepared to leave with his wife, but was stopped by the Warrior of the Wind.

"Please be patient."

On the other side, the Sister of the Wind had already found Luisa, who was silently observing the young apprentice.

With just one sentence, the nun froze the laughter of Louisa's sacrificial aunt.

"Luisa Sacrifice, I saw the Void Mark in that little girl's body."

Looking in the direction of the nun, it was the three Cassadines who were stopped by the samurai of the wind.

"Take them to the church, and I'll inspect them myself."

"Understood."

The little waves were quickly calmed down,

Faced with the invitation of the Wind Sacrifice, the Cassadine family had no room to refuse, and showed some trepidation.

It's not so much how terrible the famous good man Louisa's sacrifice is, but the attitude of the Sister of the Wind towards Keisha is unsettling.

What is the thing that can make the Sister of the Wind feel 'very dangerous', I don't know what the situation is for others, anyway, Cassadine himself can't imagine it.

It's not a good thing after all.

"Please sit down, I know you are very anxious, so after I check the little girl's body again and determine the specific situation, I will tell you the seriousness of the matter, okay?"

Luisa's sacrificial attitude was as comfortable as ever, and greatly relieved Cassadine and Samana's fears.

"Then trouble Mistress Louisa."

"No trouble...... Don't be afraid, child, I won't hurt you. ”

After calming Keisha, Luisa took Keisha's hand, sighed lightly for a long time.

Sure enough, there was a void mark in this child's body...... Can you tell me a little bit about your story? Did you inadvertently come into contact with the apostles of the void? (End of chapter)
