Li Ke and Sivir's journey was very smooth. With Nasus' guidance, they didn't stray too far from their destination. The careful scholar even marked out their fastest route. Li Ke, who was eager to leave Shurima, even told her what kind of traps and mechanisms there might be inside the cave. As a result, many of the dangerous tombs and secret chambers were as smooth as if they didn't exist. So much so that even though they did not find the Chalica after running through several tombs, their camel caravan was already filled with all kinds of treasures.
Of course, although no one died because of the traps and mechanisms, their team was reduced by a third because of the treasures. However, Sivir, who used to be interested in gold, silver, and jewelry, now had no interest in them. Her mind was now filled with thoughts of how to leave the predicament she was in and live a peaceful life. However, she didn't want to leave, and she didn't know why.
Today, when they were resting in an oasis. Meanwhile, Li Ke held the pen and paper that he had specially purchased, and began to write beside the hesitant Sivir. At first, Sivir didn't care much because Li Ke had been writing like this for a few days. But today was different. Today, Li Ke seemed to have encountered a difficult problem. This made Sivir, who was eager to leave this torment, ask her doubts in an inexplicable mood.
"Did you encounter a difficult problem?"
Sivir's words made Li Ke stop thinking. He was indeed troubled by a difficult problem because he had just summarized the things he could use, but he found that there were still too many things to do.
"You can say that. I was thinking about whether it was possible to establish an alliance with Freldrod after Shurima rose again. But after I summarized the things that the two places lack, I found that I couldn't do anything about it. Unless Freldrod is willing to leave that land and go to this land to become the people of Shurima, and transform the environment in this war-torn era, no matter what I do, I can't make the people of these two places complement each other. Both places lack stable land, food, and people. Even Azir can't solve this problem in a short period of time. "
His words made Sivir feel that she shouldn't have asked this question. The arrogance in Li Ke's words made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable because compared to him, she, who only wanted to live the life of an ordinary mercenary, seemed very despicable and weak. She couldn't help but mock him, even though she regretted it after saying these words.
"Do you think you are the savior?"
But she didn't expect Li Ke to nod.
"If the savior is this kind of trivial matter, then I am the one."
Sivir was even more confused. In her eyes, Li Ke's eagerness and his ideals were incomprehensible. Even if he said that he didn't like the world, the world had always been like this. So what if he didn't like it? Didn't everyone go through the same thing? Why would he do such a stupid thing? Wasn't it the most important thing to do to enjoy and think about how to make a better life?
"I've already told you the answer, Sivir. I just don't like the world … Let me ask you this. If possible, would your parents allow you to live in such a broken world? Would you want your child to live in the current Shurima? People were poor. Girls had to consider marriage at the age of eight, while boys lived all their lives for the sake of having a child. Every moment there was murder. Every moment someone would die for a trifling amount of money or a piece of bread. Would your parents allow you to live a carefree life? Would you be able to enjoy the beauty of this world, learn all kinds of knowledge, and play with children your age? Would you want your child to have all of this? "
Sivir shook her head.
"But this is impossible, isn't it? The reality is that I am an orphan, an insignificant person. I won't find a man and let an innocent person suffer with me in this world, so this question is meaningless to me. "
Her tone was very pessimistic, which reminded Li Ke of himself in the past. But it wasn't him who came to Freldrod. It was him in the twenty-first century. He felt inferior and didn't want to find a partner to marry and have children. The reason was the same as her. He didn't want an innocent person to suffer with him in this f * cked up world. But he was much happier than her. He had a happy childhood, parents, a decent but exhausting job, abundant food, and clothes for the four seasons.
"It's possible. Believe me, Sivir. I've seen it and experienced it."
As Li Ke spoke, a small black dot suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He looked in that direction with some doubt and saw a stumbling camel. There were already mercenaries on duty walking over, so he didn't get up.
"You actually want to bear the responsibility that you have to bear, don't you? You're willing to believe what I said, but you don't dare to believe it in this cruel world. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm eager to become stronger because I realized that I'm not strong enough. I can't protect the things I cherish and kill all those who oppress others at the same time. And you're just afraid because you're not strong enough. "
Sivir wanted to refute, but she couldn't speak. She looked at Li Ke expectantly and resentfully, wanting to hear more from Li Ke. But Li Ke's expression changed because as the camel approached, he could see clearly what was on the camel's back.
"Sh * t!"
Countless void forces entangled the figure on the camel. Originally, there were three separate individuals, but now they began to fuse under an invisible force. When he rushed nearby, he saw a very familiar figure.
"Kassadin!"
But now, Kassadin wasn't in a good state. The tentacle that could barely be considered a hand was stuck to a woman who had half of her body missing and was dripping pus continuously. In his arms, there was a creature that looked like a child wrapped tightly by countless grayish-purple tentacles. It was also stuck to his body and was about to become his new organ. His face, which was ordinary but always filled with a warm smile, had turned into a huge tentacle in the place where his mouth used to be.
And that so-called camel? That was Kassadin's leg!
