247 Mystery, Legacy

Upon learning Kassadin's identity, Yuan Chen looked at the unremarkable desert guide with a face full of surprise.

Unlike the JB face I remember, Kassadin today, while not exactly handsome, still has regular features and a strong, resolute appearance.

He is between thirty and forty years old, a time when a man's body and energy are at their peak.

Generally speaking, the physical functions of a normal man gradually decline after the age of forty. This does not apply to spiritual practitioners or wealthy people, because they are no longer in the same social class as ordinary people.

Kassadin felt a little uneasy at Yuan Chen's surprised gaze—despite considering themselves to be on completely different levels, Kassadin believed that Yuan Chen, a powerful individual capable of hunting an Ek'Sharei solo, was undoubtedly the strongest "big shot" he had ever seen.

It should be noted that in the past, the Sand Sea was easily destroyed when it received the Ek'Sharei, which was known as the "Burrowing Titan, "Ek'Sharei not to mention ordinary soldiers and bandits.

Just like the protagonist in "The Death of a Minor Official," he pushed himself into the abyss simply because of his inner fear, constantly apologizing and blaming himself.

Thinking this, Kassadin felt a little nervous, but he still maintained a degree of politeness and asked with some uncertainty, "Sir... is there a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded and then asked:

"Excuse me, is your daughter's name Kai'Sa?"

"Kai'Sa?" Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Kassadin was taken aback at first, then cautiously asked, "I'm a little unsure, could you write it down for me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen extended his finger and, from a distance, manipulated the desert to form the Shurima name of Kai'Sa in front of him—before coming to Shurima, Yuan Chen had spent a considerable amount of time cramming on knowledge about the Shurima region.

Although a common language exists in Runeterra, and with the trade in Piltover and the Noxus's Expansion, the common language and Noxus language, which facilitated trade, spread extensively.

However, for those Shurima, and remote places like Freljord and Ionia, learning their native languages is still quite necessary.

Upon seeing the name appear in the desert, Kassadin, who had been somewhat tense, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, sir, my daughter's name is Kai'Sa, not the Kai'Sa you mentioned. Although it sounds similar in Shurima, the meaning and written form are completely different."

As he spoke, Kassadin left the Shurima script for Kai'Sa in the desert.

Upon seeing the name Kai'Sa, Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes, then nodded and said, "Then perhaps I'm mistaken; it should just be a case of the same name."

"Have you seen any other people named Kassadin, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Kassadin scratched his head in curiosity.

Because Kassadin is not Kassadin's real name. Or rather, as an orphan slave, Kassadin himself did not have a name. He was called that because whenever a foreign-speaking person sought his assistance and hired him as a guide, they would say "Kas-se-a-dien?", meaning "Who does the desert know?".

However, their Shurima language was always unclear, so he was affectionately called Kassadin.

Kassadin cleverly used this phrase as his slogan for promotion, thus becoming a household name in the Bel'zhun guide industry.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen casually said, "It's just a coincidence; after all, it's one of the most well-known proverbs in Shurima."

"That's true, haha~"

Kassadin chuckled softly.

Although Kassadin's daughter is named Kai'Sa, Yuan Chen is certain that this Kai'Sa is the future Kai'Sa... because in the storyline, Kai'Sa's original name is Kai'Sa.

The reason she later changed her name was because she was regarded as a monster by many people during her battle in the Void. In addition, due to misinformation, she gradually became known Kai'Sa.

However, there's another problem... If Kai'Sa is still called Kai'Sa, then this proves that the current Kai'Sa hasn't yet Void Symbiosis. Similarly, this also means that the current Kai'Sa should... should only be around ten years old??

Damn, something's not right.

Yuan Chen quickly realized the seriousness of the problem and then looked at Taliyah was standing to the side.

If Yuan Chen remembered correctly, Talia met Kai'Sa for the first time when Taliyah returned from Ionia. At that time, Kai'Sa had already been fighting in the Void for over a decade.

In other words, when Kai'Sa was ten years old, Taliyah probably hadn't even been born yet.

But why...?

[Bel'Veth.]

Just as Yuan Chen still thinking, a message appeared in his mind without warning.

Revelation.

To be precise, it's a message left to oneself by either the future or one's past self.

To be honest, Yuan Chen n't have many clues about these "revelations." He guessed that these revelations were the result of extensive data analysis by his future or past self, leaving behind numerous speculations about certain "possibilities" in the future. Depending on Yuan Chen's choices and the different revelations he encountered, the answers and messages they provided varied.

Simply put, it's all the speculations that the previous Yuan Chen left for the current Yuan Chen.

[I'm in Bel'Veth...]

[We are in Bel'Veth...]

[Heritage.]

Having received the message of enlightenment, Yuan Chen took a deep breath.

Although Yuan Chen already knew that the timeline of this world had been extensively modified and altered, he still couldn't understand why, given that the world's corrective power still existed, this world could be changed in this way.

The original Kai'Sa was at least seven or eight years older than Taliyah. But now? In this timeline, Kai'Sa is actually seven or eight years younger Taliyah.

To be honest, Yuan Chen had also wondered if his future self had set up some kind of scheme, but even now, Yuan Chen still didn't know the meaning behind it.

As he pondered, Yuan Chen could clearly feel a warmth in his palm. Glancing at the Dawn Mark on his palm, he looked at Yuan Chen beside him and stretched out his hand in the direction completely opposite to his original destination Kassadin, asking, "Where is that?"

"It's Bel'Veth."

Kassadin replied.
