He Comes From the Void

Kahn looked at the woman in the wheelchair, a little disappointed.

He thought he would meet "she", the leader of the Black Rose, but only the middleman between "her" and Samira met them. That woman was really cautious and refused to show her face easily.

The woman in the wheelchair saw the two, nodded to Samira and said, "Samira, you did a good job."

"Captain, why did you change your name today? It's so strange." Samira felt a little strange. Indali usually called her Xiaosha, and she did have the qualifications according to her seniority.

"It's a great honor to invite you." Indali ignored her and turned to Kahn, with the strength of decades of military career in her voice.

In fact, she was the captain of Samira's army. She was going to retire after losing her ability to walk, but she was pulled out by Samira to do it alone, relying on her contacts to take on various tasks for Samira.

"Let's talk straight if you have something to do. It's been a long time since I came here," Kahn said.

Indalli nodded: "Then I'll be straight. Have you ever been to the Shadow Isles and stayed in a tavern on the island for a while?"

Kahn narrowed his eyes, Shadow Island was a year ago at least, why did he talk about it at this time. He replied: "There is indeed such a thing. But we are staying around the Shadow Isles, beyond the edge of the black mist."

"Then you must have seen Baron Vladimir."

"There was indeed a man named Vladimir in the tavern at that time, what's wrong?" Kahn asked knowingly without changing his expression.

"Vladimir." Samira interjected, "That's a big man with a head and face."

"As far as I know, the Lord Baron did not return after he went to the Shadow Island to perform his mission. When our people went to the scene, they found that the tavern and the island were sunk, and the Baron was missing. I came here today because I wanted to Ask if you know what happened on the island? And where he went."

Kahn knew where Vladimir was going, because he refused Vladimir's plea for help and watched him sink into the sea. He wanted to refuse at first, because if Dali could ask this question, it meant she had no evidence, but after thinking about it, the power of the black rose is so great, why didn't he use their intelligence network to help him find Vel'Koz? ?

After making up his mind, he felt that exchanging information for information was more worthwhile, otherwise they would search for Vel'Koz aimlessly, and it would take a long time to find him.

"I can tell you what happened that day, but you also have to exchange information." Kahn said.

"What do you want to know?" Indali asked, slightly adjusting the hand wheel of the wooden wheelchair.

"We are looking for a void creature named Vel'Koz. Use your intelligence network to tell me its latest movements. Hurry up, we will leave here tomorrow."

Kahn began to press, but Indari's answer surprised him.

"I happen to know where that monster is."

"Um?"

"Turkugel, an evil massacre happened three days ago in an aboriginal outpost on the border of Noxus. When our soldiers occupied their camp, they found that the spearmen in charge of guarding inside were curled up on the ground, Save manpower."

"According to the informant, there are no traces of battle on their bodies, no blood, no wounds, and the armor is intact, but only the left eye has disappeared and fell into a black hole. It is round and smooth, with a serene expression, and no injuries. Painful. All the dead are so... weird."

"Through further research on these corpses, it was found that the brains of these deceased were drained by something. They all died of this, not because of disease or anything. There was a huge black shadow floating in the air nearby, which looked like a A single eye with tentacles. It emits a purple light like a searchlight, piercing the night sky."

"Yes, it is the monster we are looking for." Kahn said happily.

Vel'Koz is different from ordinary void creatures. What it craves is knowledge rather than flesh and blood. That's why the people attacked by it can leave a whole body behind and cause such terrifying wounds. After the eyes is the brain, which inserts its tentacles into the left eye of the prey, transmitting their knowledge and memories like a data cable.

He should feel sad for these poor souls, but the joy of getting Vel'Koz's intelligence overwhelmed the sadness right now.

This information came too timely. Turkugel and Icacia were half a Shurima away. If they started searching from Icacia, they might not be able to find Vel'Koz for a few years.

"Is there such a thing?" Samira raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't know how much commission this monster is worth."

Kahn glanced at her and said nothing, with such big eyes, it was obvious that Samira didn't know that Vel'Koz was completely different from the beasts she had encountered before. Not to mention the remuneration, she would die under Vel'Koz's nose if she went to a face-to-face meeting.

"Captain Indali, your information is very useful. In exchange, I will tell you what we have seen."

Kahn spoke the organized language to the woman in the wheelchair.

"The black mist came, and we fought against the undead. In the chaos, Baron Vladimir clashed with a Noxian. He was cursed by the man and was hunted down by Kalista, the goddess of vengeance. , The battle destroyed the entire island of the tavern, we took advantage of the chaos and fled, only to see Vladimir hiding in a secret vault."

Indali was immersed in his narration, expressionless, and Kahn continued: "He probably didn't have time to escape, and he may have sunk into the bottom of the sea with the secret vault. If you want to find him, you can send a salvage ship to rescue him, maybe And the whole body can be found."

Kahn actually feels that Vladimir is not dead. He has learned the blood magic of the Darkborn, and his vitality is also stronger than ordinary people.

Calista can't break through the secret vault, and he can't escape from it either, and he will probably sleep like a vampire for maintenance.

Vladimir held a grudge against them, and might tell the truth to Black Rose, but what did that matter.

Moreover, the secret vault is very evil, there is no key, and it is very difficult to demolish it. They may not be able to rescue Vladimir from it.

After Kahn finished speaking, Indali already had a clear idea of ​​the matter: "Understood, happy cooperation. Samira, see off the guests."

Samira sent the two away, and when she returned to the blacksmith shop, she found that Indali was gone, replaced by another woman, her face was pale and flawless under the light.

"Samira, well done. The Empire needs people like you."

"You're not Captain Indali, where did she go?!" She asked subconsciously, but something had already come to mind.

The woman in front of her was her boss's boss, Ms. Pale. And she won't be punished for talking to her like this?

Unexpectedly, the pale lady smiled and said softly: "She has already gone to Elise's mansion."
