He Comes From the Void

Watching Kaisha carefully put the crystal bottle into the package and hide it, Kahn said: "Be careful in the future, this thing is equivalent to an extra life."

"I hope we never need to use this potion." Kai'Sa sighed, thinking that if she became a lich, then the void skin armor would die and fall off from her body, right?

But what was the point of living like that? Although it was very painful when the skin armor was attached, she could also feel all the sensations other than pain at the same time, and became a lich. All the rights to these lives would be deprived. When she thought of that gloomy and boring world, she felt a burst of pain. sigh.

Putting the package back on the bed, she looked at the two zombie fishes that suddenly appeared in the room, and suddenly felt annoyed.

After working for a long time, the leaked potion still couldn't be disposed of, it was just transferred from the ground to the bodies of these two fish. Under such unclear circumstances, they couldn't just release them.

"Let's devour it. I don't care whether it's left alone or swallowed." Kahn finally made a compromise, and in desperation he caught the fish in his hand.

As the scales and flesh began to dissolve into substances that were absorbed by the skin armor, a strange sound entered Kahn's body and echoed in his mind.

The voice was deep and majestic, as if it came from another dimension, speaking a language Kahn couldn't understand, but he knew who the owner of the voice was.

Kahn seemed to be on the verge of a big enemy, but fortunately the whisper only rang in his mind for a while and then disappeared, he shook his head and said to Kaisha: "Forget what I said before, just pretend I didn't say it, this medicine still makes it Store it forever."

...

In the early morning of this day, amidst the piercing sound of whistles, Kahn's merchant ship berthed into the Piltover Canal.

And he packed his luggage early, and came to the deck with Kai'Sa, preparing to be the first group of tourists to board Piltover.

Hundreds of ships lined up in the canal, some of which were just passing by, while others stopped at the port to unload goods from afar and load them with specialties from Piltover and Zaun.

Looking at the golden modern cities on both sides of the strait under the morning sun, Kahn suddenly had the illusion of going home, and this is the place where he has the strongest sense of identity. I even couldn't help but want to shout to her: "Good morning, City of Progress."

Piltover is a prosperous and progressive city, influencing the entire world of Runeterra with extensive trade cooperation and thinking ahead of the times, known as the "City of Progress".

This is the first time Kaisha has seen such a bustling seaport city. Compared with Piltover, Bilgewater is simply a backcountry. The plains on both sides of the coast are covered with a large number of buildings, smooth marble, bronze grids and shiny Glass constitutes a neat new building, reflecting the golden light under the sunlight. Towers inlaid with gold and silver textures stretched into the sky, and arched bridges spanned the tops of the cliffs on both sides of the rift valley, a sight she had never seen before.

"It turns out that what my father used to say about Piltover is full of gold. It's not just economically developed, but also has such a meaning in it." Kaisha suddenly realized.

"Otherwise, do you think you can pick up gold just by walking around here?" Kahn leaned on the railing, gently kneading his white earlobe to tease her.

"I thought so when I was a child." Kai'Sa didn't feel any embarrassment, everyone was naive. But Kahn teased her so much, she more or less had to fight back, so she made a childish face at him.

The general meaning of her doing this is-no matter how naive and naive I am, you can only treat me well, love me alone, endure all my shortcomings, and those who are favored will always have nothing to fear.

The ship entered the shadows, turned her eyes, and Kai'Sa saw a tall and majestic wall lying in the middle of the canyon, the wall was covered with gold and silver textured grilles, and in the middle was a tall tower, blocking the road on the other side of the strait. Sea water also blocked their sunlight.

"Is this the city wall?"

"..." As soon as the words came out, Kai'Sa felt that she had asked a question.

What city wall will stand in the strait? What would it do to not stand outside and encircle the town, but she couldn't think of any suitable adjectives other than that.

"It's not the city wall, that's the Sun Gate Sea Gate. It's more than one, and there are several others behind us that we can't see. They are like stairs, dividing the uneven sea level on both sides of the strait into sections, helping The ship can pass the drop of tens of meters more smoothly. Otherwise, it would have to go around the mainland to go back and forth between the two sea areas."

Under Kahn's explanation, Kaisha gradually understood the working principle of the sea gate, and another question arose from it.

"How did the ship go from low to high? From the Watcher's Sea to the Conqueror's Sea?"

There is no need for Kahn to answer this question, because at this time there is a ship on the other side of the strait that is being pulled by the roaring crane engine, driving to a high place on the sloping waterway, and passing through the Hinode Sea Gate smoothly.

The technological content behind these machines is the reason why the boats willingly pay taxes when passing through the sea gates. This is a miracle that forces in other regions cannot imitate.

Piltover, a city located by the sea, has also become the center of world trade, arts and crafts, and the gathering place of wealth because of its irreplaceable trade sea gate.

After talking about the gate of the sun, the wooden bridge leading to the land has been put down. The two people who had been waiting for a long time passed the wooden bridge one by one, leaving their own memories in this brand new city. footprint.

The port they were in was called the Iron Port, and it happened to be under the tall shadow of the Sun Gate, so there was a kind of iron gray everywhere.

Not far away, there is a steel-reinforced bridge across the strait, connecting the iron-cast platform above an isolated island in the middle of the canal, and the steel cables between each other pass through the cable car full of goods from time to time. And around, there are crowds of people...Businessmen, hawkers and dock porters are bustling, and the crew members go up and down, forming an uninterrupted flow of people.

Kai'Sa held down her long hair blown by the sea breeze, came to a corner where it would not affect others passing by, and stopped to watch.

A tall wheelbarrow passed by, Kaisha stared intently, thinking about what kind of structure can make the driver sit safely in the center of the circle? And how does the driver control to make the huge rollers fit or go backwards?

"If you want to experience it, we can buy one. Don't forget that we are rich now." Kahn lifted the box next to his hand, which was full of gold and silver treasures. It is convenient.

"Can this kind of thing be bought?" Kai'Sa asked in surprise.

"Here, as long as you have enough money, you can buy anything you want, and you can make things you don't have." Kahn said pretending to be profound.

"Forget it, I'm just curious." Kai'Sa shook her head, she didn't like extravagance. I bought it just for fun, and I can't take it with me when the time comes, it's too wasteful.

She has matured a lot, this time she was not confused by coming to a strange place, and took the initiative to take Kahn to a mobile newsstand not far away, and bought a map of Piltover.

But when she unfolded the map and took a closer look, another question popped up.

"This map...why does it have a depth profile?"
