Chapter 173 The Prophet’s Confession Night
Kasha held a peach in one hand, and around her waist was a small satchel given by the vendor just now, with 5 peaches in it.
The sweet pulp filled her mouth, but it still couldn't stop her anger at what had just happened.
"I don't understand..." Kasha muttered, "Obviously that guy wanted to kill you at the beginning, but you still gave him so much money."
"Didn't he admit his mistake? He's quite honest." Li Lin smiled and touched Kasha's little head. "Do you think I will do this again if he really continues to be tough?"
Kasha was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Lin, nodded with a serious look on her face.
Li Lin was speechless and rubbed her little head a few times.
The metal of the power armor was a bit irritated. Kasha wrinkled her nose and dodged from his hand, humming softly: "If you have something to say, please say it, don't touch my hair."
As if she was afraid that Li Lin would misunderstand something, she hurriedly explained: "Well... I mean, don't touch my head while wearing your metal armor."
"Well, my bad."
Li Lin took back his hand and waved it, and then Kasha returned to his side.
"However, I think I made a right choice... If it were you and you met someone who was being chased by a void spirit and needed help, what would you do?"
Kasha raised her eyebrows and was so lost in thought that she even forgot to eat the peach.
After a few seconds, she raised her head and responded: "Of course I'm helping them..."
"What if they treat you as a monster?"
Kasha was completely stunned.
monster……
When Nasus and Sivir first saw themselves in the underground tunnel, didn't they think of themselves as monsters?
But looking at it now, after getting to know each other, they treat themselves pretty well...
Kasha hesitated for a long time, "I... will still help them."
Her character is exactly the same as what I know.
Li Lin leaned down and gently put a hand on her shoulder, keeping his eyes level with hers.
"The truth is actually the same. The businessman just now obviously has his own family, and this batch of goods is very important to him, so he lied about the price.
“And after we exposed the truth, he did not choose to be tough to the end, but admitted his mistakes and showed guilt.
"That's why I chose to help him, because I think he deserves help, and I happen to have that ability."
Kasha was silent for a long time before nodding thoughtfully.
But judging from her expression, she didn't seem to understand...
Li Lin smiled silently. Some things were still too early for children of her age.
He was not prepared to continue on this issue: "Let's go, we should go back after shopping for a while, otherwise your father will be anxious."
The two continued to wander in Zerima's commercial street.
In the blink of an eye, they had walked through most of the town.
Kasha eats peaches very quickly, finishing all the peaches including those in her satchel in less than five minutes.
She licked the corners of her lips with unfinished expression, her expression a little eager, and it seemed that she wanted to go back and eat the remaining peaches as soon as possible.
There is an advantage to having living skin. She doesn't have to worry about eating it bad.
Further ahead is the north gate of Zerima. Li Lin is not planning to leave the city and wants to take Kaisha back through another road.
But they had just turned the corner when a crowd of people gathered in front of them attracted their attention.
"What's that?" Kasha asked curiously.
Li Lin frowned slightly, and through the gaps in the crowd, he could vaguely catch a glimpse of someone in the middle who seemed to be saying something impassioned.
"Looking at this posture, it must be a missionary?"
But the news of the return of the Eagle King should have spread throughout Shurima, and his attitude towards other gods is not friendly. In other words, the Shurima royal family does not really agree with gods other than the gods and warriors.
Janna, the goddess of wind in Zaun, is an example. Her statue had been torn down as early as the time of Oshera Vazuan, and was made under the personal supervision of a celestial warrior sent by the empire.
Who else dares to openly oppose the ideals of the empire and promote other sects?
A name emerged in Li Lin's mind - Void, but he didn't dare to be sure.
After all, Kai'Sa next to him has a very keen sense of the void, and those followers of the void will be more or less corroded.
Kasha didn't say anything, which proved that the person in front was probably an ordinary person.
"Go join in the fun, it might be fun."
With such a sophisticated metal power armor, almost none of the citizens of Zerima dared to stand in front of Li Lin.
Kasha followed closely behind him, and the two of them quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd, and the people around them even "kindly" made way for them to make way for a spacious space.
In front of what looks like a bulletin board, a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple hooded robe with a turban and scarf of the same color on his head is preaching something.
Li Lin frowned slightly when he saw very familiar ancient characters sewn on the ancient floor-sweeping robe.
Icathia's ancient writings, which he had seen at the Marrow Seal Market before, were exactly the same as the symbols on the old man who was pregnant with the void and believed in the void.
In fact, even without reading the obscure text, Li Lin could tell at a glance that this guy was from the Void Cult just by looking at his clothes.
However, judging from Kai'Sa's reaction and the personal status displayed by [Digital Thinking], this person has not yet been parasitized by the void.
"The Night of Confession is coming soon. At that time, the prophet will show us her beauty! We will wander in the lavender ocean she has laid. Whether it is a deceased relative or a friend who has returned to the spirit world, we will all We will meet again then..."
Confession night?
He vaguely remembered that everyone who joined the Void Order would have Malzahar use the "evil star illusion" to influence their minds, absorb their memories, and devour their flesh and blood.
To put it simply, those people are used to perform human sacrifices.
Li Lin's brows were tightly knitted.
"What he said...could it be void?"
Kasha's face turned slightly solemn, and she reached out to pull Li Lin's arm, lowering her voice and asking: "Why would he do this?! Void is obviously the mortal enemy of all living things..."
"The vast majority of people in Shurima are not well educated, and coupled with the existence of all kinds of weird magic, many people who believe in this are easily deceived."
As he spoke, Li Lin calmly observed the reactions of the people on both sides of him.
Most people sneered at the words of the man from the Void Cult in front of them, with expressions of amusement on their faces.
However, there were several men and women of different ages, but generally in their 30s and above, with emotions showing on their faces.
"Sir Ramos, may I ask...are everything you said true?"
A woman with dark skin, gray temples, and a face marked by time squeezed out of the crowd and asked with a trembling voice.
Her eyes were red and tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes, obviously thinking of her long-dead relatives.
"Can your so-called 'void'... really allow me to see my long-dead husband and son? They were killed by Shaker bandits two years ago as guides for the caravan..."
As she spoke, the woman's tears couldn't stop sliding down the ravines on her face.
"Yes, yes... the prophet will reunite you with your loved ones, and your memory will also provide her with strength. This is a win-win situation."
The middle-aged man's cloudy eyes narrowed into slits.
Although his facial expressions were all obscured by the mask, Li Lin could still see that he was smiling.
"We can't let him deceive others!"
Kasha couldn't bear it anymore, stood up from behind Li Lin, and ran in front of the crowd.
She pointed at the missionary of the Void Order and said angrily: "Don't believe this guy's lies! The void will only bring destruction, and its ultimate goal is to swallow the entire world!"
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar and started talking immediately.
However, only some people were a little surprised or even panicked when they saw the strange-looking scales on this little girl's body.
The cultist's cloudy eyes turned to Kasha, and a stern look flashed deep in his eyes.
But then, his eyebrows stretched again, and there was surprise in his eyes.
Because Kasha had just stood behind Li Lin and was mostly blocked by him, the man didn't notice Kasha.
But now that Kasha is completely exposed to his sight, the man can easily feel the power in her that is the same as the prophet——
The power of the void.
"Oh haha..." The man let out a weird laugh, "Little girl, you obviously have..."
However, just as the man spoke, Li Lin, who had already guessed what he wanted to say, activated the [Flash] function of the power armor and appeared in front of him instantly.
Li Lin ignored the shocked shouts of the man and the people around him and hit him on the bridge of the nose and mouth with an iron fist, preventing him from revealing Kasha's identity.
A stream of blood spurted out from his nose and mouth through the face towel, and drops of blood scattered all over the floor.
The cultist was sent flying backwards by the punch that he had used up some of his strength. He knocked down the wooden notice board before falling heavily to the ground. He stirred up a cloud of dust and lost all sound in an instant.
Everyone around was stunned and speechless.
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Li Lin took out a handkerchief from his satchel and wiped the blood on his right hand, then slowly turned around.
However, before he could say anything to the people around him, the excited Kasha couldn't help shouting: "Li Lin, you are so handsome!"
