Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Seventh: What I Saw in My Dream

Looking at the strangely embarrassed strangers, Taliyah recognized those who had gathered outside the city to try to weather the storm.

Their clothes were torn by the wind and sand, and their exposed skin was even scratched with blood. None of the accompanying livestock was brought back, and they were all abandoned in the storm. They hugged each other and wept bitterly, rejoicing that they escaped from death, or thanking the Ascended for their rescue.

Taliyah's eyes couldn't help getting wet. Although she didn't know if all of them had entered, she was already very satisfied to save so many people.

"Why are you crying?"

"I got sand in my eyes, I'm sorry to make you laugh." Taliyah quickly wiped her eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness on their behalf."

Taliyah thanked Azir from the bottom of her heart, trying everything she could to slow her racing heart. At this moment, she felt that the person in front of her was not an emperor, but a friend who could talk freely about the past and the present.

Azir didn't say anything, just nodded and returned to the city with Nasus, and the guards returned to their posts. While his figure disappeared from sight, the sandstorm also seemed to be receding.

"Taliyah, you saved them." Kai'Sa came over and patted Taliyah's shoulder.

"It was His Majesty Azir who saved them." Taliyah corrected, "In my opinion, he is a good emperor."

After experiencing this incident, some people in the crowd have begun to worship Azir, calling him "Father Eagle", wishing Father Eagle to protect them with his generous wings. Taliyah saved someone as she wished, and Azir earned a good name for it.

It can be predicted that there will be many fanatical pilgrims flocking to this golden city.

...

Taking the water bag, Taliyah came to the source of the Mother of Life, filled a full bag at the fountain in the square, and drank it happily in one breath.

The water here is so clear that she can't imagine, even the snow water boiled with snow in the tundra is not so refreshing. And this was more precious than gold in Shurima in the past, but now it is at the mercy of anyone.

This was the prospect of prosperity, Taliyah couldn't help thinking.

"Water and shade, sister." A woman who also came to fill the water greeted Taliyah. She had a typical Shurima face and saw Taliyah begging the emperor for help.

"I'll give you water and shade." Taliyah said goodbye to the woman, looking at the direction in which the woman was leaving, replaced by Kahn and the two who were walking towards her.

"The water here is so delicious, it's cleaner than the one flowing outside." Taliyah said with emotion: "In the past, we could only drink the muddy water in the riverbed, the same water that livestock drank."

"After drinking saliva, I start to remember bitterness and sweetness." Kahn smiled, and looked up and down at Taliyah, looking for any decorations brought back from the ice field. "How was your time in the Freljord? Was it difficult?"

"It's both good and bad." Taliyah wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth and recalled: "Since the last time we parted, I followed my little master's instructions to go to Valoran, across half of Noxus to Frey Eldrod. All the way I hid my abilities from the Noxians."

Kahn nodded for her to continue, and Kai'Sa acted as a quiet listener.

"When I finally came to the Freljord via Drever Castle and was ready to hone my talents, I fell ill because I didn't adapt to the local climate."

From a place full of sand to another place covered with snow all the year round, severe climate changes can easily lead to disease in the human body. Taliyah is a typical acclimatization. Her unremarkable height and flat nose made her inhale The air in the lungs is cold.

"I had a fever, so I used magic to make a cave in the mountains to hide in. The food I stored was a hare that I hunted in the snow when I first arrived. Thanks to Zhimu, I didn't have to drag my tired body out to hunt."

"I rested in the cave for two days, but not only did my condition not improve, but it became more and more serious. I was dizzy and even had hallucinations. I saw Sister Kasha appearing in front of me. At the same time, I also found that I'm running out of firewood and I'd freeze to death without a fire in this cold weather, so I had to go out and look for firewood."

"I carried a pile of firewood back in the woods. I was so tired that I almost fainted, and I felt thirsty again. I went out to fetch some snow and came back to boil water. It was burning like this. I looked at the dancing flames and completely fainted. Unconscious."

"So serious?" Kai'Sa's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt deeply remorseful. Taliyah was only a child and a half when she went to the ice field, so it was too difficult for her.

Taliyah shook her head helplessly. Going to the Freljord was her choice, and Karn just gave a suggestion. And if she doesn't learn to control her abilities, she won't be able to live with her clansmen in peace.

"In a trance, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was lying on the endless ice, with the frozen sea beneath me." Taliyah shuddered as she spoke, and subconsciously wiped the nonexistent snot .

"The setting sun, which never falls, outlines the silhouette of the woman riding a monstrous beast of frost, bone, and black magic, draped in rich robes like freshly fallen snow. A horned hood conceals the It made her eyes look like she was looking up at the stars."

"Lissandra?" Kahn narrowed his eyes.

Taliyah froze for a moment, surprised that Kahn said her name, and continued: "Yes, that witch said her name with two chapped black lips, her name is Lissandra."

"What did she ask you for? Did she fancy your talent? Or..." Kahn warned, this blind frost witch did have the ability to enter other people's dreams.

Taliyah shook her head: "Didn't we have a battle with Malzahar before? When I first arrived in the Freljord, I was still thinking about that battle. Why is there a void underground? Ai Why did the mages of Cassia discover the void from an earthquake? Did the void exist in our world from the beginning? If not, how did they come to our world?"

"I don't know the answers to these questions. But I think Lissandra might have seen my thoughts, and then entered my dream to talk to me."

"..." Kahn opened his mouth, but did not speak.

He knew very well that Lissandra was the culprit who caused the Void to invade Runeterra, and these things were also the truth that she had tried her best to cover up.

"So what did she tell you?"
