Chapter 593: The Newcomer
The current state of the Dawn Oasis is like an empty city. Kahn and Kai'Sa found that the city is almost an empty shell in the process of exploring.
There are many buildings in the city that are superficial. When you open the door and enter, you will find that not only is there no one living in it, sometimes there is no basic furniture, and it is completely empty.
What's even more strange is that there are some buildings that cannot be entered at all, just like those areas in the game world that have not yet been opened, you can only look at them, but don't even think about entering them. Even if you get stuck in a loophole and get in, you can only see a lot of blank space waiting for developers to fill in.
Regarding this phenomenon, Kahn felt that the Dawn Oasis had been buried for too long, and many things could not withstand the erosion of time and turned into nothingness. But today's capital is based on a piece of dilapidated ruins, and Azir has molded it into what he remembers.
In such a big city, even he can't remember every street and alley, remember the structure of every house, so there are so many missing details, which makes this city feel very weird and not real enough.
Undoubtedly, the city needs a degree of rebuilding that can only be done with living people.
Azir asked them to arrange it themselves, and Kahn chose a house on a higher ground to move in, so that he would not be disturbed by the sound of running water. And these houses are ownerless, they can pick whatever they want.
However, they chose to spend the night in the library in the end. It seems that Azir spent his childhood here for a long time. The environment of the library is much more detailed and substantial than other places, and many books are well preserved. Well, you can take it out and look at it anytime.
During the day, Nasus also spends long hours in the library flipping through ancient books or organizing bookshelves. Azir will also show up from time to time, coming to remember the past. Renekton also came to discuss some matters with his brother. So staying here, Kahn doesn't feel too quiet, but the circle is much smaller, and the only people he sees back and forth are those few people.
Surprisingly, within three days, someone discovered the city rising from the sandy bottom.
This is a nomadic tribe that followed the water source, and was extremely shocked by the sudden appearance of such a magnificent city on the river. They observed the city from a distance, but they didn't know that when they observed the capital, the people in the city were also observing them.
Out of various doubts, this nomadic tribe looked at the wide-open city gate but did not dare to enter, and bypassed the city to go elsewhere.
A few days later, a caravan came to Dawn Oasis. The wind and sand that night was a bit heavy. After the same shock and doubts, they decided to venture into the city to explore, and this gave Kahn a chance to contact them. Opportunity.
The caravan cautiously entered the city gates. Helmed guards and red-and-gold cloaks watched silently at the newcomers to Shurima.
The leader approached the guard, who smelled of deep mud, dry and dirty, making him suddenly feel out of breath. But for the sake of safety, he still bit the bullet and approached the guards, wanting to ask if the caravan he led could be allowed to enter the city to rest for a night.
The guard did not answer the leader's question, but silently watched the direction of the city gate, like a stone sculpture.
Seeing that the guard was not moving, the team leader cautiously moved closer, and his gaze seemed to be attracted by this close look, and his whole body was driven closer and closer by curiosity.
Through the slits of the guard's helmet, he could see that the skin around his eyes didn't resemble any of the complexions common to Shurimans. Neither wheaten nor reddish-brown nor black is right, but a gritty brown...
"Could it be..." The team leader opened his eyes wide, and suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder, which frightened him, and he suddenly sat down on the ground.
"The ground is dirty, get up quickly." Hearing only a gentle voice, the leader looked back and saw a man and woman standing behind him and looking at him. The woman folded her arms without saying a word, while the man bent down and stretched out his hand towards him, with a vague smile on his face.
Although this pair of men and women who suddenly appeared seemed a bit strange, they could at least communicate with the guards. The leader held Kahn's outstretched hand and was pulled up while breathing heavily, like a drowning person rising to the surface.
"Sorry to scare you," Kahn said.
"It's okay..." The leader tried his best to calm down, looked around again, and asked cautiously, "Are you two alive here?" He had already realized that these guards were actually soulless sand soldiers.
"There are a few others, we just arrived here a few days earlier than you."
"You have lived here for a few days? Do you know what this place is? This location is the former site of the ancient capital. Aren't you afraid? A city that is suddenly revived, who knows if it will suddenly sink again, throwing us And buried together..."
He retracted his arms nervously, his body trembled slightly, and his panic was beyond words. In this regard, Kahn kept smiling.
"If you are worried, you can stay for one night and leave."
"That's exactly what I planned. I'm going to let the caravan rest near the city gate for a night and leave here early tomorrow morning. But at least I can't think this way alone. I have to ask other people in the caravan Views."
"A cautious approach." Kahn heard a kind of worry that could not be shelved from his mouth, and nodded.
"What's in this city?" The team leader continued to ask Kahn for information, and Kahn was also happy to tell him something as an explorer, and then spread the news here through the mouth of others.
"What you see is all."
"The magnificent and shining sun disc, the clear fresh water flowing out of nowhere, the grand and ancient oasis of dawn..." The leader looked at all this with ecstasy, and then swallowed: "But I always feel that this place is eerie."
"Isn't it enough to have fresh water and a shelter?" Kai'Sa said.
"Yes, enough is enough." The team leader realized that he was a little greedy, so he changed the subject: "Then what happened to these soldiers?"
"Azir the Ascended is back, he is the one who made the sun disc stand upright again, and made the Oasis of Dawn flow again. Rest in peace in the city, he promises to protect all the people in the city. Also, you have to hurry up A decision has been made, the guards will close the city gate at night."
"..."
Even though Kahn was just stating a fact and didn't exaggerate half a point from Azir's position, the heavy news still left the team leader speechless.
"There is hope for Shurima!" he murmured, feeling that everything in the city suddenly made sense.
