Chapter 249 Windmill! Sea of Lavender!
The residence of the Avarosa tribe had fallen silent as night wore on.
The protective barrier that Zuo Chi had set up as he left gradually appeared, enveloping the entire station like a protective shield formed by a starlight.
The girls all went back to their rooms, and Ash went to Kai'Sa's room to join her, as Saike had said when he left.
Late at night, Ash gradually closes his eyes after helping Kai'Sa keep a vigil for a long time without seeing anything unusual.
It was a rare night when there was no snow in Freljord, and the whole station was eerily quiet.
The campfire in the center of the station danced, and little sparks flew into the sky, gradually touching the protective barrier set up by the left pool.
But at this moment, a strange cloud of purple energy suddenly attached to the barrier.
Like a calm lake thrown into a stone, ripples began to ripple on the barrier, and gradually tiny gaps were torn open.
At the same time, Kai'Sa on the bed frowned slightly, and a look of pain flashed on her face again.
That strange dream reappeared.
The little girl sat helplessly and confused in the yellow sand, and in front of her, the bottomless abyssal crack was still mercilessly devouring everything around her.
Many purple butterflies turned into the sails of the boat in their arms, carrying them slowly towards the abyss ahead.
"Kaisha, daughter of the void. Come here, come over to me."
On the bed, Kaisha's brow furrowed and tightened, and the Void Armor on top of her body began to squirm slowly, something that had never happened before!
The strange sound of the armor squirming was clear in the quiet room, but despite this, Ash on the side showed no sign of awakening.
Looking closely, Ash's eyebrows were also shrouded in a faint purple aura, and not only that, but even her and Kaisha's entire room was shrouded, making it impossible for the outside world to spy on what was happening inside.
The little girl in the dream is getting closer and closer to the abyss, but the real Kai'Sa slowly gets up, she steps past Ash beside her, and gently walks to the door of the room.
"Buzz!"
A teleportation portal slowly appeared in front of Kaisha, and in her sleep she walked step by step into the unknown abyss.
Kaisha's figure completely disappeared into the teleportation portal, and the teleportation portal slowly closed, and the purple energy attached to the shield also faded.
It was as if nothing had happened, except that Kai'Sa had crossed thousands of miles at this moment, once again returning to the place she had seen as a nightmare.
Acacia Void!
ββ
A faint purple light still rose from Vikz's corpse, and the atmosphere between Zuochi and Jax became a little strange.
Compared to Zuo Chi, who knows a little bit about everything, Jax naturally has no way of knowing Zuo Chi's identity.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to say the words of asking Zuochi to help him revive Acacia together.
Zuo Chi looked at Jax and Kiran in front of him, and asked with some curiosity, "Why did you appear in Freljord?" If you want to revive Acacia, shouldn't you be active in the Shurima Continent? β
At this time, Kieran also came to Jax's side and nodded apologetically to Zuo Chi.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your help. Jax has a straightforward temperament, forgive me. β
Zuo Chi shook his head to show that he didn't care, and continued to wait for Kiran to continue.
"In Lower Kiran, this is my friend Jax."
Kieran said softly, "Since our hometown of Acacia has fallen, we have been forced to leave other countries and find a way to return to our country. β
"Oh?"
Zuo Chi asked rhetorically, "Why did it fall?" β
"This"
Kieran's tone was slightly choked, but soon he still said: "At that time, we didn't know much about the Void, and in order to resist the enslavement of the Gushurima Empire, we made the wrong choice to summon the Underground Void. β
Recalling the past again, Kieran's tone was a little lost, but it was no secret, so there was no need for him to hide it from Zuochi, the life-saver.
Zuo Chi nodded slightly, and he asked again: "I remember that the Ancient Shurima Empire was not a powerful empire that almost unified the Rune Lands, and their Ascendant Legion was even more unmatched, and each of them had a strong strength of one enemy against a thousand, why didn't you want to become a subsidiary empire of Shurima?" β
"It seems that Your Excellency also knows quite a bit about the history of the Shurima Continent." Kieran was a little surprised.
However, listening to Zuo Chi's question and recalling his homeland, Kieran's eyes couldn't help but flash a grief, and Jax became more and more indignant.
Even though thousands of years have passed, this incident is still a scar in the hearts of the two that cannot be healed.
"To be honest, in fact, Acacia has always been one of the most loyal vassals of the Gushurima Empire. It's a pity that the unfair treatment we have been suffering has also made us completely give up following the Shurima Empire and decide to rebel. β
"Actually, Your Excellency also said that the Ascendants of the Shurima Empire are extremely powerful, and the selection of the Ascended Ones is also for the entire Shurima Empire, including its vassal countries!"
"Both of the two most powerful vassals of the Shurima Empire, Ishtar has won dozens of places for the Ascended, and among them, Nezuk has become the strongest enough to rival the Mage King, but what about Acacia?"
Kiran's tone became agitated and high-spirited, "Acacia has followed the Shurima Empire for hundreds of years, but she has never been granted a place among the Ascended Ones!" Not only that, but when Acacia first started a protest, the Shurima Empire brutally killed our king and hung his body on the city gate to warn every one of the people of Acacia. β
Zuo Chi was a little silent, he had to admit that he really hadn't understood these things before.
He only knew that Acacia had summoned the Void in order to rebel, but he didn't know the history of what Kieran was talking about.
Kieran continues: "Where there is oppression, there will be resistance!" It was at that time that the mages of our country discovered the strange power that lurked deep undergroundβthe Void. β
"The whole of Acacia thought that it was a powerful weapon that could help us defend against the Shurima Empire, and with the support of a strong capital, Acacia decided to rise up and resist!"
Kieran looked at Jax beside him, his eyes full of pain:
"With Jax leading a team to kill the Ascended One who was stationed in Acacia at the time, the relationship between Acacia and Shurima is completely irreparable."
Soon after, the enraged Shurima Empire sent an army of Ascenders led by the Ascended God Aatrox to the borders of Acacia, and a bloody war of repression began. At that moment, Acacia truly felt what the true Ascension was, and what the Ascension Legion was. β
"Compared to the Ascendant who was killed by Jax, the power of the Ascended God Aatrox was almost entirely enough to wipe out Acacia's army in an instant. In that battle, Aisikasi's army was nearly completely wiped out, and even the ground was stained with blood and a stinking dark red. β
"And it was at that time that Acacia summoned the Void underground, and decided to use its power against the Shurima Empire."
Kiran smiled bitterly: "I believe that Your Excellency has fully understood the ending, the Void has devoured Acacia, and only me and Jax have escaped in the entire country, and it has also plunged the Shurima Empire into a decades-long Void War." β
"For thousands of years, Jax and I have been sparing no effort to find a way to help revive our homeland, but alas."
Kiran shook his head slightly: "As long as the Void is still on the land of Acacia for one day, it will be impossible for Acacia to regain its former prosperity. β
After listening to Kieran's story, Zuo Chi couldn't help but be a little silent.
There is no doubt that Acacia's act of summoning the Void was definitely an important driver in changing the course of history, but who can blame Acacia, after all, they just want fair treatment.
Seeing that Zuo Chi's expression was also a little regretful, Kiran thought that Zuo Chi was grieving for what happened to Acacia, so he took the opportunity to say:
"I don't know where the benefactor comes from?"
After a slight mutter, Zuo Chi said, "I am from the Avarosa tribe, and now we are on the border of my tribe. β
Kiran asked again, "Do you know that there are also traces of the Void on this continent?" β
Zuo Chi nodded: "Yes." β
A gleam flashed in Kieran's aging eyes:
"Since Your Excellency knows, you must also know the dangers of the Void. In order not to make this land the same desolate land as Acacia, we should use our own power to fight against the Void. This must be a feat that will benefit the present and the future! β
After the impassioned words, Kiran's eyes looked at Zuo Chi without blinking, just waiting for him to give an affirmative answer.
Zuo Chi: "."
The atmosphere was a little strange for a while.
After a long time, Zuo Chi scratched his head: "Are you usually so fooling people?" β
"Amount"
Kieran was a little embarrassed, but he still said matter-of-factly: "It's all my truth." β
Zuo Chi looked at the expectant gazes of Kiran and Jax, and he suddenly asked, "Can you let me see this in Jax's hand. Well. Street lights? β
Jax held the blazing street lamp in his hand horizontally in front of him, and the flame containing majestic life force also appeared in front of Zuo Chi.
At the same time, a message related to this street lamp slowly emerged in front of Zuo Chi.
Eternal Flame
Grade: Intermediate Legendary Level
Special note: Acacia was once the treasure of the town and the foundation of the country. Containing endless life force, Jax has a long lifespan that breaks through the limits precisely because he has held the Eternal Flame for a long time. γ
It turned out that the weapon in Jax's hand was not a street lamp, but a strange staff that carried the eternal fire.
Truth be told, compared to Kieran and Jax's dream of restoration, Zuochi is most interested in this Eternal Flame, which has a special damage bonus to void creatures.
After all, if one's own flame could possess the attributes of the Eternal Flame, it would undoubtedly be more effective in fighting against the Void.
"Your Excellency?"
Seeing Zuo Chi looking at the Eternal Flame in a daze, Kiran seemed to know that he would not leave his clan and embark on the path of crusading against the Void, so he said softly:
"Thank you again for saving your life, and if you need it in the future, even if you ask the two of us."
Zuo Chi came back to his senses, and he tilted his head: "Are you ready to leave Freljord?" β
Kieran nodded: "The two of us have actually been in the Demacian Empire before, because Jax and a swordsman from the Laurent family hit it off at first sight and fought many times. But then I followed the breath of the void and came here. Since there is no open void rift here, we naturally have to leave. β
Kieran looked up at the sky and sighed softly: "The road to the revival of the homeland is still far away, and we still need to continue to work hard. β
Zuo Chi patted Kieran on the shoulder: "The Shurima Empire, which has been destroyed for thousands of years, can rise again, and I believe that Acacia can too." β
Kiran nodded slightly, but he quickly reacted, turned his head to look at Zuo Chi and asked suspiciously, "How did Your Excellency know?" β
"Alas~!"
Zuo Chi sighed and patted Jax seriously: "Next time you pull someone in, remember to ask about the origin of the person's heel first." β
Under the gaze of Kieran and Jax, Zuochi raised his hand, one finger straight up.
Immediately after, a ball of brilliant golden light appeared between Zuo Chi's fingers, it was the power of ascension!
At the same time, Zuo Chi's helpless voice came: "How can the general of the Shurima Empire help you restore the country?" Why don't you call Aatrox to be the king of Acacia? β
Kieran: "."
Jax: "."
Finally, he waved his hand at the two living treasure partners, and Zuo Chi's figure gradually moved away: "Maybe it won't be long before we meet again." β
On the contrary, for some reason, Zuo Chi always felt very uneasy in his heart, as if something important was getting farther and farther away from him.
Zuochi didn't know where this feeling came from, but he knew that his loved ones were still in the Avarosa tribe, and as soon as he returned there, everything would be clear.
The figure flickered rapidly, and Zuochi was approaching the headquarters of the Avarosa tribe at a near-teleportation speed.
Looking at the shield that covered the entire station, Zuo Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at the station, Zuochi immediately headed for the room where Ash and Kai'Sa were.
Standing at the door, feeling the breath that was only one left, Zuo Chi's heart also sank to the bottom.
Walking into the room, Zuo Chi looked at the purple energy that lingered in Ash's eyebrows, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe it away.
It was also at this time that Ash, who had always fallen into a deep sleep, slowly woke up.
The first time he woke up, Ash subconsciously looked at the position beside him.
When he saw the empty bed beside him, Ash's heart suddenly jumped.
She quickly turned her head, and her expression became flustered: "Zuo Chi, where is Kaisha?" β
Ash's voice trembled a little, and his ice-blue eyes were full of anxiety and self-blame.
Zuochi asks her to accompany Kaisha, but she falls unconscious, and Kaisha is taken captive, and Ash thinks she is to blame for all this.
Zuo Chi hugged Ash into his arms and patted her on the back: "I'll bring her back, that power is far beyond Ash's knowledge, so it's not strange." It's my fault for everything, it's me who didn't protect you. β
Although Zuo Chi's tone was calm, his heart was already filled with extremely rich killing intent.
He knew very well that if he could pass through his barrier quietly and take Kaisha away without Soraka noticing, then the other party's strength must be stronger than that of Soraka now.
After obtaining a low-level true god-level physical body, although the divinity damaged by Soraka has not yet recovered, it is by no means comparable to ordinary high-level demigods.
In this way, it can only show that the strength of the other party has far exceeded the demigod level.
"Left Pool."
Ash in Zuo Chi's arms raised his head and looked at him worriedly: "Do you know where Kaisha went?" Who took them captive? β
"I'll see her soon."
Zuo Chi repeated again: "It's soon! β
Touching Ash's head, "Wait for me here, and tell the others that I'll be back with Kai'Sa soon." β
Zuo Chi slowly got up and walked out of the room.
He raised his hand, and the glowing blue light converged in his hand, and a map appeared in his hand.
It was the "coordinates of the Sea of Lavender" that he got from Nasus!
The starlight in his hand converged, and Zuo Chi suddenly tore through the space in front of him and stepped into it.
When he reappeared, he had returned to the familiar desert, and immediately after, Zuochi headed straight for the void rift in the hinterland of Acacia.
Zuo Chi knew that he might be about to meet the first true god from the Void Plane, and that he might have to find an ally against the Void Watcher under the Wailing Abyss.
