The Kassadin Family

Kai'Sa's family was originally supposed to live in a village nestled in a valley, but they were completely swallowed up by the Void eruption while Kassadin was away. This gave birth to the Void and the Daughter of the Void.

But now, looking at the bustling streets and crowds of people in Bel'Veth, Yuan Chen seriously doubted whether the Void and the Void Daughter could actually be born in this timeline.

It's important to understand that in the original storyline, when Kai'Sa was brought to Bervis by Rek'Sai, the entire city had already merged with the Void, becoming indistinguishable from it. In this state, let alone the father-daughter duo of Kassadin and Kai'Sa who had become Void symbiotes, even Ryze wouldn't be able to make a difference... unless Ryze was willing to use the World Rune.

But getting Ryze to decide to use the power he considers forbidden is even harder than killing him...

This isn't an exaggeration; it's simply Ryze's nature. If you can kill him, he won't use the World Rune even if he has the ability. Similarly, if you have no hostility towards him but have the power to destroy the world, Ryze won't hesitate to act ruthlessly.

But... Ryze isn't always so resolute and unwavering.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen shook his head and began to tour the Bel'Veth City before him.

Despite its location near the sea and mountains, Bel'Veth remains incredibly dry. Commoners generally live in tents, as tents are easy to set up and move around in. The slightly wealthier middle class live in a type of beige stone, Shurima specialty with a texture similar to limestone.

While this type of stone is only considered basic in terms of hardness and sturdiness as a building material, its unique properties allow it to withstand Shurima's constant strong winds, intense sunlight, and dryness.

Therefore, middle-class families with some savings and assets would build bungalows using this stone. High-ranking officials and nobles would also live in castles built of this limestone.

Kassadin has a good reputation as a guide, but the profession is always highly dependent on the weather. For example, recently, due to the unrest in Piltover, Kassadin lost contact with many clients and lost employment. As a result, even now, Kassadin and his family still live in a small tent, similar to a yurt.

"I'm back!"

Kassadin's voice carried a hint of joy.

Upon hearing Kassadin's voice, there was a rustling sound inside the tent, followed by a small head peeking out from the side. Seeing Kassadin's familiar face, the small head quickly lit up with joy, and then excitedly ran out of the tent.

"Daddy~!"

Seeing this, Kassadin's face lit up with the happy smile of a loving father to his sweet little daughter. He crouched down, opened his arms, and said, "Hey! Kai'Sa! It's Daddy! Daddy's home!"

Looking at the scene of the father and daughter reunited before him, Yuan Chen's eyes were filled with a hint of contemplation.

In this timeline, Taliyah is already around sixteen years old... but judging from the Kai'Sa in front of him, even just by looking at her, Yuan Chen is certain that she is no more than ten years old...

Although she is young, she already shows the makings of a beauty.

Shurima's design draws inspiration from Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa. The Shurima's golden bloodline is, in particular, a typical Egyptian concept. Take Sivir, the Sivir, for example. While her appearance in previous Original Painting lacked distinctive features, even somewhat resembling a generic "internet celebrity" face, Sivir still possesses a unique charm.

After LOR was released, the Original Painting for Sivir in the main League of Legends universe was also reworked and updated.

In the latest update, the makeup, body shape, skin tone, and facial bone structure are all closer to the racial characteristics of people from the Egyptian region.

In this situation, the skin tone of the entire Shurima appears brownish due to the sunlight.

But Kai'Sa is different... It's like a genetic mutation; her skin is fair and delicate, without the dryness, reddish-brown, and roughness typical of desert people.

Kassadin was just about to introduce his daughter to Yuan Chen when he turned around and saw Yuan Chen staring intently at his daughter.

As a guide, Kassadin was well aware of human malice. He was taken aback at first, then Kassadin face turned pale at a visible speed, and a hint of determination even appeared on his face.

When Kassadin witnessed Yuan Chen personally kill an Ek'Sharei, he did indeed take the initiative to curry favor, even adopting a humble and obsequious attitude. For Kassadin, this humiliation and subservience meant little. After all, as a freelancer, a guide's job was to cultivate good relationships with his employers to secure his final payment.

However, Kassadin is also a ruthless individual who is willing to risk his life to venture into the Void in order to find his wife and daughters, despite his mortal status.

It can only be said that in Runeterra, anyone who achieves success has extraordinary abilities and unseen obsessions.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen said calmly, "I can tell you love your daughter very much. This is the first time I've ever seen Shurima with such fair skin."

Hearing that Yuan Chen was only surprised by his daughter's skin color, Kassadin breathed a sigh of relief, then chuckled and said, "Haha, it's all thanks to my wife. I can only come home for about five days a month; most of the time, my wife takes care of Kai'Sa..."

As he said this, a look of self-reproach appeared on Kassadin's face. "I'm so sorry to her..."

"Honey, you're saying that again!"

Just as Kassadin was speaking, a woman's voice came from the side.

A woman of decent appearance, with a gentle and graceful demeanor, carrying a wooden basin, walked from the street beside her, dressed in the robes commonly seen in Shurima.

Setting down the wooden basin, the woman helplessly brushed the dust off Kassadin: "Didn't I tell you? It's just that we have different roles. You don't owe me anything. In fact, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't feel this deep happiness right now."

Upon hearing this, Kassadin just chuckled sheepishly.

But then, Kassadin noticed the wooden basin next to him.

The wooden basin contained some freshly arrived fruit from the port—even as a trading city, Bel'Veth City was still located in the desert. In such circumstances, fresh fruit in Bel'Veth could be even more expensive than meat.

Although she could afford it, her thrifty wife would only buy it when she was home. But this time, even though she had returned two days early...

"What is this fruit...?"

"It's Kai'Sa's teacher."

As the woman spoke, an elderly woman with a full head of curly white hair, aged between fifty and sixty, slowly emerged from the tent.
