Chapter 188 The Portal Leading to Nasramei
Not long after, Kassadin, Kasha and Sivir also found this place.
Outside, Kai'Sa has chosen the "Philosopher's Stone" pendant and the "Spirit Stone" made from the core of the ancient golem for herself.
The Philosopher's Stone provides maximum health and mana, maximum percentage regeneration, and spell power.
Although the void is not magic, the plasma and missiles fired by the living weapons on her body are still composed of energy, and the Philosopher's Stone can also have some bonuses.
The other Soul Stone is different from the Ancient Golem Soul Gloves, which is also the "Blue Tyrant Talisman". It has no attack ability and means, but in exchange for more mana recovery speed.
Kai'Sa's second skin requires a lot of energy, and even magic can be converted into what it needs. These two items are just a guarantee for her to follow Li Lin to Piltover in the future.
But even without these, Kaisha can still obtain the energy needed for her skin and armor from high-energy foods...
If that were the case, it would be understandable to change her name to "cute snack food" instead of "Daughter of the Void" because her belly is almost bottomless.
Kassadin also selected an item in the middle of the secret vault - an enchanted "Crystal Bottle" of artifact quality.
Rune magic is engraved on this magic crystal bottle, which can automatically recharge once a day, and can pour the water of life from the Dawn Oasis into it no matter how far away it is.
In fact, this item was prepared by Kassadin for his daughter and is not a necessity for him.
Noting Kai'Sa's need for energy, the healing water provided by this item can provide a large amount of life and magic energy, which can be used just in case of emergencies.
As for the other item, Kassadin planned to choose one here and give it to Li Lin in return, but he hadn't told Li Lin yet.
Sivir, like Li Lin, had already selected two items:
A "ring of healing" with artifact quality that can provide healing effects.
A piece of epic quality, the "Sky Splitting Dagger" was enchanted with space magic by the god warrior Horok himself. It can break through space and travel several meters away, but it takes a long time to recharge.
With the "emerald barrier" given by Nasus, Sivir doesn't have much need for magic resistance.
So she focused on equipment that could improve her combat effectiveness.
When Kassadin selected another epic-level item, it sold for 800 blue essence and 80 orange essence. It had a similar effect to the Darkwalker's Claw, but it was the long sword "Illusion Blade" used by the warrior.
Everyone returned to the entrance of the secret vault and showed the items they selected to Azir's Yellow Sand Warriors.
Later, under the leadership of Huangsha warriors, they walked out of the palace and headed to the great library in the inner city.
Long before he became a warrior of the gods, Nasus built the great library with his own hands. He was promoted to Imperial Grand Scholar by the first emperor Setaka, and was loved by people all over the country.
Later, the sun disk was destroyed, and the escaped energy razed the city of the sun to the ground, and the Great Library was no exception.
But after Azir was reborn, he deliberately reshaped it into what it once was.
Although the ancient books and secrets treasured inside have long since disappeared...
On the way, Kaisha was looking at everything in the city curiously, and Sivir was still studying the Sky-Splitting Dagger in his hand.
Taking advantage of this gap, Kassadin, who had been silent all the time, walked quickly to Li Lin and handed him the "Illusion Blade" inserted in the scabbard.
"Huh? What are you..." Li Lin raised his eyebrows, not understanding his intention.
"This magic sword was specially chosen for you."
"Ah?" Li Lin looked stunned, "What are you doing? This is something given to you by the God Emperor..."
Kassadin shook his head, "You gave me too much, and I really can't repay you... I know that you need similar precious magic items, so I chose this long sword."
"I said, I don't need..."
"Kassadin, who does the desert recognize? Anyone who has asked this question knows that Kassadin never owes anyone a favor.
"This is not a question of whether you need it or not. I know that I will never be able to repay what you have given me in my lifetime."
Kassadin turned his head slightly and looked at Kasha not far away, with a slight smile on his face.
“I have the Blade of the Underworld, and the God Emperor has no intention of taking it back, which is enough for me.
"There are no items I need in the secret vault, and you will have to return to Piltover later. This magic item should be regarded as the cost of your care of Kaisha."
"etc!"
Hearing this, Li Lin turned around suddenly and stared at Kassadin's dark and grooved face.
"'You're going back to Pi City...Kasha's care fees? Aren't you going to come with us?"
He kept his voice as low as possible so that Kaisha and Sivir didn't hear it.
"I haven't found the prophet yet, so I can't return to normal life." Kassadin shook his head. "I plan to stay in Shurima and continue to collect information about Malzahar."
Li Lin frowned tightly, "But..."
"Even if I went to Piltover there would be nothing to do."
Kassadin smiled and did not give Li Lin a chance to speak: "I am a child who grew up in Dashai. I have only stayed in Dashai my whole life. This is my destination."
"Nakasha..."
"She will go back to Piltover with you and receive your treatment. She has grown up and no longer needs me to take care of her."
"..."
Kassadin noticed the hesitation on Li Lin's face, and added: "Every parent hopes that their children will succeed. Although the empire has risen again, and Kasha is also an outstanding warrior, everything depends on her. Body void skin.
"We have all seen the horror of the void, and I can't bear to let her continue to be tortured by the skin and armor, and I don't feel at ease.
"I just hope that she can grow up as a happy girl, then marry a husband who loves her, get married and have children, and live a happy life."
Li Lin didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh helplessly, "But... I'm not short of money. You don't need to give me this sword, I will take good care of her."
"Besides money, there are other aspects, right?"
Li Lin was stunned and noticed a meaningful look in Kassadin's eyes.
He... seems to have seen something a long time ago?
"Take it, the stronger you are, the more relieved I will be if Kaisha follows you, right?"
"..."
In the past few months, Li Lin had always felt that this desert guide was just an honest and honest desert man.
However, if Kassadin was really as simple as he appeared on the surface, how could he have been walking through the desert unharmed for twenty or thirty years?
He had long been aware of the differences and abnormalities he showed in his daily life and silently remembered them in his heart.
It's just that he never asks about things like this that he shouldn't know...
Li Lin took a deep breath, reached out and took the "Illusion Blade", and tied the rope on the scabbard to the belt of the power armor.
"I see."
…
…
The great library of the empire was not far from the palace.
Huangsha soldiers walked ahead for only more than 20 minutes, bringing them to a grand building full of bookish style at a glance.
When the sand soldiers turned into flying sand and dissipated in the wind, Li and Lin slowly walked to the large library's opposite door, which was engraved with an eagle symbolizing the royal family and mysterious runes.
Before they could make any move, the door made of a huge stone more than ten meters high opened automatically, and a cool breeze blew out from the hall in front of them.
The large library built of giant golden marble has no windows. All the light inside comes from the shining blue light from the rune marks on the wall, which is similar to the color of the astral magic that Nasus once cast.
Huge metal chains hang from the top of the hall and some thick pillars, connecting some secret mechanisms of the great library.
At first glance, Li Lin felt as if he had returned to the periphery of the emperor's tomb.
"come in."
Nasus' dull voice echoed in the empty entrance hall, as if floating from the Nine Ghost Realm, and it was completely impossible to distinguish his location through the sound.
When all four of Li and Lin entered the hall, the door behind them slowly closed.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of light composed of magic power, like dots of stars, suddenly appeared in front of them and circled around them several times.
Kasha's eyes lit up, she pointed at the light ball and said to Li Lin and Kassadin: "It seems to want us to follow it!"
Li Lin nodded, beckoning Sivir who was lagging behind to follow him, and followed the guiding light ball all the way to the deepest part of the great library.
After taking the magic-powered elevator down to the ground, they saw Nasus with his back to this side, standing upright in front of the empty bookshelf by the wall.
Hearing the movement behind him, Nasus stretched out his paw and slid it across the board of the bookshelf.
"The past is a tapestry that depicts the future, I have always thought so." There was endless sadness in his tone.
Nasus slowly turned around and turned his eyes to Li Lin and the others, "This was once the cultural and educational center of Shurima. All Shurimans were proud to receive education here... But now, this is nothing. There’s nothing left.”
"With you here, Grand Master, the Great Library will definitely regain its former glory." Li Lin sincerely wished it.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice." Nasus chuckled and walked up to them, "I remember you said before that your next destination is Nasramei?"
Li Lin nodded, "Yes, I was originally arranged by my family to go there to build the Hex Flying Gate."
"Li Lin has delayed us for too long." Kassadin added.
"Well, it just so happens that we are on the way. I also want to go back to the library in Nasramei, so I can take you on a ride."
As he spoke, Nasus turned the long ax in his hand, and the blue magic quickly turned in front of them, turning into a halo of light more than four meters high.
"The libraries in each region have teleportation arrays connected to the great library in City of the Sun. I personally presided over the construction of them, and it seems they are still usable."
Nasus stepped half-way into the portal, turned around and said to Li Lin: "Your mechanical devices are still parked outside the city, right? Call them here, and we can go directly back to Nasramei, which can save more than a month." time."
