Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 6 The girl returned from the void!
With the addition of Zuo Chi, these civilians have much more momentum when walking.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes the entire process when Zuo Chi had just punched the old mage to death.

Having a strong person like Zuo Chi walking with them is a very good thing, both for them and for the village.

Zuo Chi was also happy to accompany these villagers.

Having just traveled through time, Zuo Chi was still too unfamiliar with everything in this world, so he could just get some necessary information from these villagers.

"Why don't we want to leave Icacia? This place is no longer a place where ordinary people can live."

"But where can we go? We are destined to live in this land polluted by the void for life after life."

After hearing their words, Zuo Chi couldn't help but fall into silence.

As he said, Icathia is located in the southeastern corner of the entire Shurima continent and even the entire Runeterra.

To the south is the endless sea of ​​watchers.

To the north is the endless desert of Shurima.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to leave here and find a suitable place to live.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chi asked tentatively: "Have you ever thought about living in Shurima?"

"Shurima?" The leading man paused slightly.

Then he shook his head: "Shurima has been silent for thousands of years. Sand bandits are rampant. It is no different from Icathia and is equally uninhabitable."

Zuo Chi said tentatively: "I heard from the gossip that Azir, the last tsar, has been resurrected, and that Shurima has the possibility of regaining its former glory."

"Well, it's really just hearsay."

The man nodded confidently: "Not reliable at all!"

Zuo Chi: "."

Zuo Chi did not mention this topic again because he knew that they would not believe him.

Following their guidance, the group gradually approached a village.

There are spiked fences in many places around the village, with checkpoints set up at regular intervals.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi also had a deeper understanding of the hardships of life for civilians like Ikasia.

If we live in a place where the country is peaceful and the people are safe, why would ordinary people need to arm themselves like this?

At least that's not the case with Demacia and Ionia!

"Captain Caesar!"

At this time, a shout from a checkpoint attracted everyone's attention.

The burly man next to Zuo Chi also waved in that direction.

"It's us!"

After greeting his companions on the wall, the man looked at Zuo Chi again.

"Benefactor, come with us into the village."

Zuo Chi nodded: "Excuse me."

The fence was pushed open, and Zuo Chi and his party also entered the village surrounded by the elderly and children in the village.

At this time, a stooped old man came to Zuo Chi and others.

Seeing the old man, Nishizawa stepped forward and told him about the many experiences of his trip.

As he spoke, the old man also looked towards Zuo Chi.

"Mighty warrior, I am the village chief. Thank you for saving my people."

Zuo Chi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I want to thank you for taking me in."

In the following time, Zuo Chi did not bother Xize and the village chief to report again.

After a while, the old man walked towards Zuo Chi.

"Warrior, Caesar hasn't been back for a long time. He needs to go home to visit his wife and children. Let me take you to your residence."

"Thank you, village chief."

"Ha ha!"

The old village chief smiled kindly and led Zuo Chi towards the center of the village.

Soon, Zuo Chi was taken to a slightly shabby but clean room.

After settling Zuo Chi, the old man was ready to leave.

However, just before the old man left, he suddenly looked at Zuo Chi very seriously.

"Warrior, if it is not necessary, please do not go to the west of the village. There may be danger there."

"Ok?"

Zuo Chi's eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly: "Do you need my help?" With his current strength, it is not difficult to fight off ordinary void creatures.

If someone is willing to take him in, he will naturally help wherever he can.

But the old village chief shook his head: "No need, just stay away from that side. There is a person who is cursed by the void over there!"

"???"

Now, Zuo Chi was even more confused.

"He who is cursed by the void."

According to Zuo Chi's understanding of these villagers, they should hate the void deeply.

But why are there people cursed by the void in the village?
"Ugh!"

The old village chief sighed and explained: "It's a girl! She was cursed by the void and merged with the void monster!"

"But it happened that she rescued a lost child in the village not long ago, and she was seriously injured as a result."

"I thought she was really pitiful, so I let her stay in an unused utility room on the west side of the village."

"!!!"

This time, Zuo Chi's brows raised sharply.

A girl who merged with a void creature.
For some reason, after listening to the village chief's words, a very familiar figure suddenly appeared in Zuo Chi's mind.

A girl who returned from the void alone after her village was destroyed by the void!
However, Zuo Chi had not yet met the girl the village chief mentioned, so he was not sure whether she was the person he thought of.

"Okay, just remember not to go there. You are the benefactor of the village, and I don't want you to be harmed by the void."

Just when Zuo Chi was lost in thought, the old man turned around and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, he did not forget to say thoughtfully: "I will have someone give you a set of clothes later."

It wasn't until the village chief walked out of the room and closed the door that Zuo Chi came back to his senses.

Lying on the bed, Zuo Chi stared at the ceiling and fell into thinking.

As if he had too many doubts in his mind, Zuo Chi finally pushed open the door of the room and walked towards the place in front where women and old people gathered.

According to Zuo Chi's memories from his previous life, this kind of place is usually equivalent to the intelligence organization in the village.

There is something going on in the village, and these people know it better than anyone else.

Of course, most of the news may also be spread through false rumors.
The elderly and children who were talking among themselves greeted Zuo Chi kindly when they saw him.

After all, Zuo Chi is the benefactor of the village, so they are still very friendly to Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi came to them and asked softly: "Mother-in-law, I would like to ask, apart from me, are there any other people in the village?"

"Shh!"

Before Zuo Chi could finish speaking, the stooped white-haired old woman directly grabbed his arm.

"Keep your voice down, don't let that monster hear you!"

Even the surrounding women with children in their arms echoed: "That person looks like a monster in the void at first glance. I really don't know why the village chief took her in!"

Hearing their words, Zuo Chi frowned slightly.

"Mother-in-law, I heard from the village chief that she saved a child in the village and was seriously injured."

The old woman nodded slowly: "This is undeniable, but we still cannot identify with a person cursed by the void."

"None of us can be sure whether she will suddenly go crazy and cause destruction to the village."

"So naturally, you can be as far away as you can!"

While the old woman was talking, the people arranged by the village chief to deliver clothes to Zuo Chi also came here.

Zuo Chi did not continue discussing this topic with the old man.

Because Zuo Chi knew that for these people who had been persecuted by the void all their lives, their hatred for the void could never be eliminated.

At the same time, Zuo Chi can also be sure that these people are not bad in nature, otherwise they would not be so kind to him.

Their hatred is directed only at the void.

After saying hello to everyone, Zuo Chi returned to his room.

After that, Zuo Chi did not go out again, but stayed quietly in the room waiting for night to fall.

Time passed little by little, and soon the bright moon rose into the sky.

At a certain moment, Zuo Chi's closed eyes suddenly opened, and at the same time he looked outside through the window edge.

Just now, Zuo Chi sensed that a figure flashed from the sky above his room and headed straight to the west of the village!

This figure seemed to be very seriously injured and staggered a little while running.

Slowly sitting up, Zuo Chi jumped out of the window and chased after him after hesitating for a moment.

Zuo Chi had a premonition that he was about to meet his first old friend after coming to this world!
