LOL: Let me touch your steel

At that time, he had just completed a trip with a caravan. On the way home from Piltover, a group of panicked survivors ran out from the vast desert.

From their description, Kassadin learned the news of the disaster in his homeland.

Kassadin remembered that when he heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and he stood there in a daze in complete disbelief.

It was not until his companions reminded him that he woke up from his dream. Worried about the safety of his wife and daughter, he left the team and finally rushed back to his former village day and night. But there, he saw only ruins. The once quiet and peaceful home was only a piece of quicksand and gravel.

His emotions completely broke down.

In the next few years, he became a well-known drunkard and homeless person in the neighborhood.

Until he met a group of cultists.

He learned the truth about the coming of the Void, and at that moment, he vowed to avenge his wife and daughter.

He wants to destroy that guy who is an accomplice of the evil and calls himself a prophet!

To this end, he traveled all over the continent.

He armed himself with the connections he had made while following the caravan. He found the most mysterious and powerful weapons known to Valoran, combined them with Zaun's original designs, and blessed them with the soul healers of Ionia. Finally, he stole Horok's Void Blade, a magical weapon that had slain hundreds of tricksters.

He set foot on this land, searching hard for the trace of the Void Prophet.

For several years in a row, I kept searching.

Only at this time of year would Kassadin stop and return to his former home to stay for a few days.

Remembering the past and looking for the home of the soul.

A few days later, he left in a dusty state and continued on his journey of searching.

He didn't know how much more he had to search, but perhaps he would spend the rest of his life repeating days like this, day after day.

Listening to Kassadin's story, Zhang Xu and Kaisa fell silent.

Although Kassadin's narration was very calm, Zhang Xu still felt Kassadin's depression under this calm tone.

For so many years, Kassadin may have been living in torment of self-blame, collapse, hatred and revenge.

In comparison, Kassa felt that her own experiences seemed to be nothing.

The pain her father suffered would only be greater than hers.

"What about you? My daughter, what have you been through?"

Looking at the purple facial lines on Kassadin's face, purple eyes, purple long hair, and the thick shell on her body, Kassadin felt extremely heavy.

Although he had some guesses about Kasa and what she had experienced, he still wanted to hear it from his daughter herself.

"The village was swallowed by the void, and everyone was sucked into the underground world. My mother died... Everyone died, and I was the only one who survived."

Kaisa calmly tells her own story, telling how she has achieved a symbiotic relationship with the creatures of the void, and narrating the various dangerous experiences she has gone through.

Even in front of her father, Kassa remained calm and did not throw herself into her father's arms and act like a spoiled child when she was wronged, as she did when she was a child.

She has grown up.

But there was still a slight tremor in his tone.

The father and daughter finally confided in each other their miserable experiences over the years, and Kassadin's eyes finally fell on Zhang Xu.

In Kasa's narration just now, there was no mention of this young man who looked about the same age as her daughter.

Kassadin was very curious.

He relied on various equipments that he had crafted with great effort, Kaisa relied on symbiosis with void creatures, so what did Zhang Xu rely on to possess his current power?

And what role did Zhang Xu play in his daughter's story?

Following her father's gaze, Kassa also reacted.

Kasa remembered the word "father-in-law" that Zhang Xu had inadvertently called out during the battle just now.

Zhang Xu seemed to have guessed that this was his father a long time ago.

I originally thought that I knew Zhang Xu well enough, but now it seems that Zhang Xu seems to be shrouded in a veil of mystery again.

However, Kasa did not intend to question Zhang Xu in front of his father, but naturally brought the topic back:

"Father, what are your plans next?"

Having just reunited with her father, Kassa doesn't want them to be separated again.

The void is full of surprises. After this separation, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to see each other again.

Kassadin was of course aware of this, so there was an obvious look of hesitation on his face.

He was just an abandoned baby. His first half of life was very difficult. He struggled for half his life to get a happy family.

And what he wanted all his life was just that happy family.

Even though he now possesses powerful strength and can find his enemies in the void, his thoughts have not changed at all.

But that guy who claimed to be a prophet ruined everything for him.

Even if his daughter was safe, his wife, his friends, and his home were all destroyed!

The happy life we ​​once had can never be returned.

Kassadin picked up the Void Blade that he had just dropped on the ground with a somewhat dejected look, gently wiped the blade that was not actually stained with dust, and spoke with some difficulty:

"I will continue to search for the Void Prophet. This guy who is an accomplice to the evil is definitely a huge scourge to the outside world. I can't just leave it alone."

For the sake of revenge, and also to ensure that there are fewer people like him in the outside world, he must catch this Void Prophet and make him pay the price he deserves!

"I will go with you!"

Kasha's answer came out of her mouth.

I hate you.

But what he got was Kassadin's rejection.

He had been searching for too long, and he didn't know how long he would have to keep searching.

Maybe it's five years, maybe it's ten years, or maybe it's a lifetime.

He could spend his entire life on this one thing.

But Kai'Sa can't.

She is only seventeen years old now and has a lot of good years ahead of her. We cannot let her devote her entire life to this matter.

He still remembered that Kesha's biggest wish when she was a child was to travel across the entire continent and appreciate every landscape on the continent.

As for finding enemies...

He alone is enough.

Chapter 21 Conversation

The quarrel between father and daughter ended in nothing.

Kassa couldn't understand why her father rejected her proposal to find the enemy together, nor did she understand why they had to separate.

We just met again.

Kassadin could only smile bitterly at Kaisa's idea.

Just as he thought, Kassa shouldn't risk her life on such things.

Of course, there is a deeper reason as well.

After Kaisa walked away in a huff, Kassadin found Zhang Xu.

Looking at Zhang Xu sitting cross-legged in front of him, Kassadin frowned slightly. He still didn't understand where Zhang Xu got his power from.

And now thinking back, I should have deliberately held back the force when that punch landed on me.

Otherwise, it would definitely not be as simple as just breaking two ribs.

Kassadin took a deep breath and sat next to Zhang Xu, with a very obvious question in his voice:

"What's your purpose?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xu slowly raised his head and looked directly at Kassadin's face.

Kassadin also did not retreat at all. He looked at Zhang Xu seriously, as if trying to find clues from his expression.

There are too many mysteries surrounding Zhang Xu. Although Zhang Xu never showed any malice in Kasa's narration, as Kasa's father, he still wants to find out.

As an old father who was destined to be separated from his daughter, he didn't want his daughter to be surrounded by a guy whom he was completely unfamiliar with and who didn't even know what he wanted to do.

"My purpose?"

Zhang Xu touched his chin and began to think seriously.

He seemed to have never thought about this question seriously before.

Since he came here, he has been trying to survive in a muddle. Even though he later discovered his golden finger, all he did was to go with the flow and hunt void creatures and stack steel from them.

It seemed that there was never a definite goal driving him.

Everything he did was just to live a better life.

不 ...

He still has goals.

Zhang Xu was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked an irrelevant question:

"I remember you said that you were a caravan guide, or an adventurer, right?"

Kassadin nodded in confusion, not understanding why Zhang Xu asked this.

"An adventurer... you must have been to many places, right? I mean, places outside the Shurima Desert."

Zhang Xu didn't wait for Kassadin's answer, but just said to himself: "I want to leave the void and go to the mainland to have a good look at this magical world. I want to see Ixtal, which existed as early as the founding of the Shurima Empire, and see if Freljord, the northernmost part of the continent, is always cold and frozen. I want to see this rich and colorful world."

"Of course, it would be better if we could kill more void creatures before leaving the void."

To be precise, it means stacking more steel.

"I don't have any ill will towards Kaisa. The reason I want to follow her is, firstly, because she can lead me to find the exit from the void, and secondly, because I am too lonely."

"Kasha may not have told you that I have actually lived in the void longer than she has. For eight years, I have rarely encountered living people. Apart from some unlucky people who were about to die and the cultists who wanted to kill me, Kasha was the first living person I saw."
