he came from the void

She suddenly felt that she was a little sentimental. If this went on, Anne could dry the wet clothes and hair by herself, without her helping to dry them.

After drying the dress, Kaisha helped Annie put on her clothes again, and asked her to stay by the campfire not to run around, while she came to Kahn with doubts.

She saw Kahn sitting on a rock with his back to her, and went over to wrap his arms around him.Her full weight leaned forward, her chest pressed against her broad back, and she rested her chin on his shoulder.

When he turned his face, she whispered in his ear, "Don't you find it strange? This child is not afraid of fire."

"It's not surprising, I've seen it a long time ago." Kahn replied blankly, without even raising his eyelids.

He already knew these things when he saw Annie.It's just that Kaisha's attention was always on Annie, and he didn't have a chance to tell her how special Annie was, so he simply watched and watched this little stranger by himself, while thinking about what would happen when he met Annie.

"So you were really thinking about something just now? I thought..." Kaisha hesitated to speak, because the next words were full of distrust of Kahn and doubts about his character.

"What do you think?" Kahn gave her a blank look: "What evil can I have?"

"You have a lot of bad intentions!" Kaisha smiled and pecked him on the face as an apology, and the matter passed like this.

Then she let go and looked back in the direction of the campfire.Annie was obedient and didn't run around, holding the puppet bear in her arms, staring at the crackling bonfire in a daze.

"I always think this kid is weird..." she said.

"Annie is similar to Taliyah, she is born to control elements. Taliyah is a rock, and she is a flame, so she is very close to the flame." Kahn also looked over and explained.

But things don't seem to be as simple as what Kahn said. Kaisha always felt that Annie saw the flames differently from what she saw, and there seemed to be hallucinations attracting Annie.

And all she saw was a mass of sparks rising into the night sky, like a group of fireflies, swaying for a moment and then disappearing into the darkness.

"Are there many such people? Why do we always meet them?"

"There are not many in Noxus, it is very rare, but it is more common in Demacia, but the people there will hide the fact that they have magical talents. Just like the German we met in Shadow Island Marcia is a treasure hunter who hides very deeply, and only confesses that he knows magic when he dies."

"Will there be fewer mages in Noxus..." Kai'Sa knew that because of the ban on magic, Demacia had awakened more people's magical talent, but Noxus didn't know why, the place was so big , but there are very few mages.

She didn't know, she didn't know these two places well.

"This land lacks magic power, and even crops can't grow well, let alone talented people. There has never been a powerful magic civilization born in Valoran." Kahn replied casually, and the two countries are on the same continent.

"Then what is Anne's talent among these people?"

"It's pretty strong. Although it's not as good as Taliyah, it's enough to make her a threat that cannot be underestimated."

Kai'Sa's head suddenly tilted back, and Kahn's words were a little strange.

Annie is so young, probably less than ten years old.What danger can such a small child be in?It should be that others may threaten her. Isn't it strange that she will become a threat to others?

Kahn saw the doubt in Kasha's eyes, and then explained: "Because she can't control her talent, just like Taliyah once. Once she fell into fear or anger, Anne would release a powerful flame. You It's best to be careful with her, not to annoy or scare her."

"So what should I pay attention to?" Kaisha froze for a moment, after listening to Kahn's description, she now felt that Anne was as dangerous as a time bomb.

"Don't hurt its little bear, that's her bottom line."

Kaisha nodded: "Let's go back, don't make Anne wait too long."

She and Kahn went back to the campfire and sat down. Anne just glanced at them and continued to stare at the campfire in a daze, as if a wonderful drama was being staged in the dancing flames.

Kaisha's gaze immediately fell on the doll in Annie's arms, which was a plush teddy bear, carefully sewn and cared for.But years of pulling at the seams of the limbs revealed stitches and a button eye was missing.

But even such a tattered toy was still held tightly in Annie's arms like a treasure, and never left her side for a moment.

Kaisha guessed that this little bear must have special meaning to Annie, which is why she couldn't put it down so much.

The flame danced for a while, and in a trance, Kai'Sa noticed that the flame was reflected on Annie, casting a huge and inhuman shadow behind her, like a bear...

"It's amazing, she's not afraid of Eternal Flame." In a daze, Kai'Sa heard Kahn sighing beside her.

Annie stood by the campfire just as he said, not only was she not afraid of the eternal flame, she was even absorbing the scattered sparks.Theoretically, the eternal flame can burn infinitely as long as it is in a magical place, which constitutes a very strange picture.

Annie can use the eternal flame to continuously transform the magic power around her into the flame she needs, and then continue to grow her magic power steadily.

Chapter 6 Nine Trouble

"No wonder she's been staring at the bonfire in a daze." Kai'Sa pursed her lips, giving herself an excuse to explain Annie's weird behavior.

"Annie, why are you alone in the woods? Where are your parents?" Kaisha asked.Annie didn't stay in a daze all the time, she would always respond if someone talked to her.

"They're all dead." Annie looked at the teddy bear's one button eye.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your sadness." Kaisha touched her little head and cast a look of help to Kahn.She didn't expect that she would be so unlucky, and hit the mine with precision as soon as she came up.

She saw the clarity in Kahn's eyes, and realized that he knew about Annie's past.

"Don't mention her family." Kahn opened his mouth and told Kaisha the precautions for communicating with Anne with mouth shapes.Her magic has caused irreparable family tragedy, so now she is alone.

Kaisha put her palm on Annie's shoulder with a dignified expression, and decided not to mention Annie's family anymore.

"Are you cold?" she asked.

"I'm not cold," said Anne, "but I'm hungry."

"I'll get you something to eat." Kai'Sa breathed a sigh of relief, and finally she was able to do something.

She came to the horse in the rain and got some dry food from the saddle.It's just that Annie looked at the food she brought and shook her head.

"Sister, I don't want to eat this, I want to drink milk."

"..." Kai'Sa froze for a moment, this wilderness asked her where to find milk.Then she blushed slightly, she only had milk for adults, not for children.

"All I have is wine," she said.In order to enter the frigid Freljord, the drink they prepared was all kinds of wine.

"I know there's a tavern in the forest," said Anne again.

"Isn't a tavern a place where alcohol is sold?"

"It also sells milk there."

"Go?" Kai'Sa looked back at Kahn, asking for his opinion.

Kahn glanced at the still raining sky, and sighed: "That's okay, it's cold at night, it's better not to sleep outside with a child, we can find a tavern to stay overnight."

"Is Annie afraid of riding a horse?" Kaisha turned to look at Annie again.

"No, they should be afraid of me."

"..." Kaisha froze for a moment, this answer was definitely special, she felt that she could no longer treat Annie as an ordinary little girl. "Then sister hugs you, can you hug Tibbers? Let's ride to the tavern to buy milk for you."

"Okay." Annie smiled happily at her, breaking the gloom just now.

After coaxing the little girl onto the horse, Kaisha hugged Annie with one hand, and pulled the rein with the other hand, and followed Kahn into the dark forest.

The ends of the leaves are continuously splashing the rain curtain, and the weight can be clearly felt when it falls on the raincoat.Kasha held Annie in her arms and covered her tightly with her cloak so as to protect her from the rain.

In the process, her arm inevitably touched Annie's plush toy, but Annie did not show any dissatisfaction.It seems that as long as you don't deliberately do anything to that doll, you won't make her unhappy.

Not long after, they came to the tavern Anne had mentioned.There was a warm light in the windows, and loud voices could be heard from inside from time to time, mixed with the sound of large wine glasses clinking and beer splashing.

"It seems that the business is not bad." Kahn raised his eyebrows, and he heard at least seven or eight different voices.

"Well, at least I don't need to get in the rain, my shoes haven't dried out yet." Kaisha led the horse into the stable, and then helped Annie, who couldn't wait, push open the heavy door of the tavern.

Annie seemed very happy, humming and bouncing all the way from the tavern door to the bar.The wooden door slammed shut behind her, a wisp of winter's icy cold humidity blowing through the room, and the loud bang caused several pairs of eyes that hadn't noticed her to look over, expressing doubts about her appearance.

A little girl shouldn't appear in a tavern in the Black Forest. Usually the people who come here are troublesome things.

They looked behind Annie, the two purple-haired young men, probably understood something.

"It's a face, this young mother seems to have no experience, how could she bring her child to this kind of place." A deep voice came.

A tall man sat alone at a table in the middle of the tavern. With his only good eye, he unscrupulously looked at the three people who had just arrived, with a malicious smile on his mouth.

The man was nothing but a fabric of muscle and scars.Nooses, chains, and iron hooks on his waist, and a large knife slung across his back, all loudly announce that he is a bounty hunter.

Kaisha frowned slightly, she didn't say anything, there were hooligans everywhere, it was too tiring to clean them up one by one.She looked at Annie. The little girl seemed not to be affected by these words. She pushed a high stool to the bar, then climbed up on the stool and stood up. bottle.

"What would you like to drink?" asked the bar owner.

"Excuse me, can I have a glass of milk?"

The boss quietly and quickly turned his head to the end of the bar to get the porcelain jug of milk. Unlike other bartenders Kahn had seen, he liked to chat with customers while doing things. He was a very low-key person.

The milk jug was pushed to Annie's waiting hands. She laughed and licked the milk with her tongue, making her lips white.

"How much?" Kaisha came to Annie's side and reached into the money bag.She subconsciously thought that Annie had no money and wanted to pay for her.

"One coin is enough." The boss said, he didn't expect that Annie would give the money, and planned to accept no matter how many coins she put on the bar, it would be considered as a discount.

"Sister, I have money, I just pay it back myself."

"It's okay, just take it as my invitation."

Kaisha didn't take Annie's words seriously, and just as she was taking money out of her bag, that annoying voice sounded next to her.

"It turned out to be a sister. Tsk tsk, do you need financial assistance? You see that your sister can't afford to wear a dress that fits, and your beauty is worth a lot of Noxus coins. Give the child a good skirt. .”

Hearing this, Kaente, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly, and came to the bar with a gloomy expression.

He patted the bounty hunter on the shoulder, and the man turned around to see a suddenly enlarged fist.

The fist hit the bridge of the nose firmly, and the hunter who was hit hard was knocked down on the spot. His tall body curled up on the ground, covering his broken nose in pain and howling.

"Bring me a bottle of wine." Kahn pointed coldly at a bottle of wine on the shelf. It doesn't matter what kind of wine, he only needs a bottle.

The boss immediately brought him the things, this is a person who doesn't want to cause trouble.

Kahn took the wine bottle, opened his hand and stuffed the neck of the bottle into the hunter's mouth forcefully, the cruelty in his eyes was fully revealed.

With a strong shock, the neck of the bottle suddenly plunged into the depths of the hunter's throat, opening the esophagus, while the body of the bottle crushed his teeth and stuck tightly into his mouth.The hunter's mouth was completely stretched into a circle. He coughed in pain and let out a horrible whine. Blood foam gushed out from the corner of his mouth, exuding a strong smell of alcohol and blood.

"This bottle of wine is my treat."

Kahn hadn't been so angry for a long time, and he felt that it wasn't enough, so he casually took an iron bottle cap with sharp edges like jagged edges, inserted it into his blind eye socket with his hand, and blew out Half of his face was stained red by the blood, and he fainted from fright.

There was a neat sound of breathing in the tavern, and fear spread on the wine table.

Chapter 6 Ten Nights

The bounty hunter who had offended the wrong person was dragged by Kahn's hair to the rainy night outside the tavern, and was thrown in the cold mud with only faint signs of life left.

After doing all this, Kahn returned to the tavern, looked around, and noticed that the eyes of the people in the tavern looked at him changed.

It was a kind of fear called lessons from others. Where Kahn glanced, people lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at it.

Only Annie didn't show any fear, she looked at him calmly, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth stained with milk, she was not frightened by the cruelty just now.

"Sit down and don't take it to heart."

Kaisha helped Kahn wipe away the raindrops on his head, and then grabbed his hand and looked at it carefully, and found that he was not injured, so she gently wiped away the blood for him.Kahn took two deep breaths, his gloomy face returned to normal, and he asked the fearful tavern owner behind the bar: "How much is that bottle of wine just now, and this jug of milk, I gave them together."

Before the boss could answer, Annie rushed to say, "Brother, I'll just pay the money. I have money, a lot of money."

As she spoke, Annie grabbed a large bag full of money from her backpack.

Several gold coins fell onto the counter, and one of them was rolling towards the edge where the boss was.He subconsciously stretched out his hand, pressed down the escaping gold coin with one finger, and then slowly picked it up from the bar. The weight and texture showed that it was a genuine Noxus coin.

The sound of swallowing saliva resounded in the tavern. Looking at the big bag of money, all the greedy people suddenly felt their mouths dry.But looking at Kahn next to the little girl, everyone suppressed the evil thoughts in their hearts.

"It's gone." Annie said with a smile.

"No, I caught it." The tavern owner put the gold coin in his hand into his pocket and said, "Enough is enough, one gold coin is enough, and you can order more drinks."

With the lessons learned from the past, the boss would rather give Kahn a discount at a loss than cause trouble.

"Where did you get so much money?" Kahn asked Anne.

"Tibbers found it." Annie replied, "I found it on an uncle who stopped me on the road. Just like the one just now, they are all big villains. Brother, you should find it on him now, and you should be able to find it." Find some money."

The little girl took a sip of her milk and started eye contact with her teddy bear again.Glancing at the bear and then at Kahn, he seemed to find something interesting.

"Is this how you get all your money?"

"Yeah, I've saved so much money because I've been hunted down so many times." Annie responded confidently, and suddenly raised the teddy bear to Kahn: "Look, brother, does Tibbers look like you? They all have one eye!"

She smiled, with white milk stains on the corners of her mouth.

"Then are we good friends with you?"

"No, it's us and you! Me and Tibbers! Tibbers likes you."

"Really?" Kahn looked at the teddy bear and asked tentatively, "Can I pet it?"

"sure."

Kahn reached out and touched the teddy bear's head, and he felt a huge energy that was about to move in the furry body.Then his hand went to where Tibbers was missing a button eye, and he asked, "Don't you want to fix it?"

"Think about it." Annie suddenly put on a sad expression: "But when I see someone poking Tibbers with a front line, I get scared. I think Tibbers must also be afraid of pain."
