Chapter 174 Eat Melon to Your Own Home
Although she heard Li Lin talk about "Hex Flying Door", Kaisha had never seen him use this ability to teleport through space, and she seemed very excited.
As for the surrounding citizens, a considerable number of them have never been to Piltover and do not count as familiar with Hex Technology.
Others who know Hex Technology have never seen Li Lin's power armor that is so sophisticated and can even "teleport".
They all regarded Li Lin as a magic master with powerful spells, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"The ability to teleport...is this definitely magic, right?"
"Well, I met a traveling wizard before. When he used magic, he would make people's mouths taste like sour camel milk... I had this taste in my mouth just now."
"What is the metal armor on his body? Why does it flash blue light and turn on its own?"
"I've seen something similar. It should be Piltover's Hex Technology? That thing is valuable."
"This little girl should be his daughter, right?"
"Do they have any grudge against this missionary? Why are they so ruthless?"
"..."
Li Lin waved to Kasha and asked her to come to him.
Then, he quickly looked around and noticed that several people on the periphery of the crowd were running in the direction of the Werner Bonso mansion, apparently looking for the guards.
But Li Lin didn't pay too much attention.
Those guards would definitely report this to Weiner if they saw him.
And Nasus, who was discussing the matter with him, would probably follow to check on the situation, so it would be very simple to solve the matter.
When the authoritative leaders of Zerima or the well-known grand maesters throughout Shurima declare the dangers of the void, these people will naturally resist the void.
In a country where theocracy is supreme, for those who have their own beliefs, this is the best way to protect them from the Void Cult and Malzahar's instigation.
Li Lin followed Kasha and walked together to the woman who looked dull and almost believed the cultist's words.
He unfolded his mask and said as softly as possible: "Water and shade, ma'am."
There was still a look of confusion in the depths of the woman's cloudy eyes, and she obviously didn't quite understand what had just happened.
Li Lin sighed slightly.
The rapid development and growth of the Void Order founded by Malzahar was inseparable from his shrewd mind.
His target group for developing followers is this kind of lonely people who have lost their loved ones and are still in remote areas far away from the City of the Sun.
As long as he casually demonstrates his superhuman abilities and uses words to induce him, he can easily attract people whose minds have been hit.
"I'm sorry to break your wish, but what I want to say is that this person is a cultist, and his so-called "void" cannot bring salvation."
Li Lin's voice was not loud, but many people around wanted to hear what he had to say, so they kept quiet and gathered around.
He took a deep breath and continued: "The void is not something from our world, it is some kind of corrupt and evil existence that attempts to penetrate our extremely vibrant world and then devour it, causing everything to return to nothingness.
"The cultist just said that the void can allow you to see your dead relatives. The meaning behind his words is actually very clear. Only dead people can see dead people...
“But he didn’t say that if you were swallowed by the void, you wouldn’t even be considered dead.
"Your existence will be erased, you will forget yourself, become a part of the void, and will never rest in peace."
For people who don't understand void, Li Lin's words seem a bit obscure.
But one thing they all understood was that void was something that could destroy the world.
A middle-aged man couldn't help but question: "Is this thing really as exaggerated as you say?"
Li Lin turned to look at him and found that he was the person who had just heard the cultist's preaching and was somewhat moved by the void.
"It's not an exaggeration at all!" Before Li Lin could speak, Kasha retorted excitedly, "My hometown, my village, was swallowed by the underground void three years ago. Now only the salt-alkali land and the Twisted hernias everywhere..."
The beautiful and cute little girl always arouses empathy from others, especially because she also shows maturity and inexplicable vicissitudes that her peers do not possess.
"What else is happening?!"
"I seem to have heard about this. It's in the Song Yin Valley to the east. The villages there were destroyed overnight, not even the remnants were left..."
"When you said that, I also remembered it. It seems that many refugees have come to Zerima in the past two years, isn't Bedic the same one?"
"Yes, there has been a wandering drunkard in Huangsha Tavern in the past two years. Who is his name Kassadin? His family seems to be from Yinge Valley. I heard that his wife and daughter are dead..."
At this time, they all remembered the "threat" of the void, and started discussing it.
When the discussion about the void reached her home, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Kaisha's face.
However, knowing that people were still wary and resistant to the void, she had no intention of revealing her identity as a survivor of the Song of Song Valley.
And those people also believed that she and Li Lin were relatives. Like other survivors, they happened to be outside or far away from the incident, so they were not affected.
In the following period, Li Lin and Kai'Sa answered the people's doubts and raised the danger level and threat level of the void to above that of the Darkin War and Rune War a thousand years ago.
Of course, it is indeed a big event that ultimately affects everyone in Runeterra.
And... time is indeed running out.
Zerima's guards moved quickly, and the first five-man team had already arrived and temporarily controlled the scene.
Of course, they did not take action against Li Lin who hit him. Instead, they were polite and respectful to him, and they also controlled the cultists who preached the void.
This is a person who can accompany the gods and warriors. Even Weiner will entertain them with the highest courtesy. Maybe he is a distant relative of Eagle King Azir.
Moreover, before Weiner sent them here, he specifically told them not to be reckless with Li Lin and Kaisha.
The guards' attitude towards Li Lin and Kai'Sa made their words more convincing.
A few minutes later, Weiner, the ruler of Zerima, arrived at the scene with twenty of his heavily armed guards.
As Li Lin expected, Nasus and Kassadin, who was wearing power armor, were also among the crowd.
More than a dozen personal guards separated the crowd several meters away, and four soldiers followed Weiner to check on the cultists first.
"Kasha, are you okay?"
As soon as he saw his daughter, Kassadin hurried over.
A smile appeared on Kasha's face, "Of course dad, don't you still believe in my strength? Besides, that cultist is just an ordinary person."
"That's good..." Kassadin breathed a sigh of relief and turned his eyes to Li Lin beside his daughter, "What happened?"
"Kasha and I were wandering around the city and happened to meet the missionary of the Void Order..."
Li Lin truthfully explained the situation to Kassadin.
At this time, Nasus and Weiner finished checking the condition of the comatose cultists and walked over to Li Lin and the others.
"He has the token of ancient Icathia on his body, and that shape represents the void."
Nasus showed a purple triangular hollow pendant in his hand, with three tentacle-like semi-arcs extending from its rounded and curved hypotenuse.
Weiner immediately answered: "You have done a good job. As the governor of the empire, my city will not allow things like the void to corrupt the people of the empire!"
Li Lin glanced at Werner Bonso.
It seems that he has reached an agreement with Nasus, allowing Zerima to return to Shurima's control.
"This guy just said that the prophet is preparing for a so-called 'Confession Night.' I heard that he will perform a living sacrifice at this time." Li Lin added.
A little confusion flashed across Kasha's face, and she didn't understand when he knew about this kind of thing.
Kassadin on the side was not surprised by this matter. It seemed that it was completely reasonable for Li Lin to know so much.
"Confession..." Nasus spat out a word dullly, "We cannot let the moths infest the people of the empire."
Kassadin nodded in agreement, but his words were full of anxiety, "But we don't know where the prophet is hiding."
He had long wanted to seek revenge on Malzahar, but this guy was too cautious, and basically no ordinary person knew where he was.
"You should be able to pry some information out of this guy's mouth."
Weiner waved and asked his men to press the cultists over.
"No need to bother."
Nasus' claws grasped the brass chain of the pendant, causing it to fall naturally downward.
The purple pendant reflected an evil shimmer under the reflection of the dusk sun.
"With the medium associated with him, astrological positioning methods can be used."
