As a detective, she could certainly tell that the story told by this middle-aged man with sincere emotions was not a fabricated one.
Therefore, Caitlin turned her head to look at Li Lin and pleaded on Kassadin's behalf: "Help him, Li Lin..."
If it's about fighting evil, what's wrong with helping Kassadin build a set of extremely lethal power armor?
"I would have done it even if you didn't tell me." Li Lin sighed and looked at Kassadin, whose face was clearly filled with joy.
"Thank you so much!"
Kassadin stood up quickly and wanted to bow deeply to Li Lin, but was stopped in advance by Li Lin who reacted faster.
"Thanks and honorifics are unnecessary. I've also read about the legend of the Void in books. Resisting it should be the shared responsibility of all Runeterra people."
Li Lin patted Kassadin's shoulder gently and continued, "I will build you a power armor like the one I have... but it won't be enough to deal with the Void, which is capable of corrupting everything."
"Of course I know that. I still have other things to do."
Kassadin frowned in thought, then gritted his teeth and said, "I know a healer from Ionia. She fled to Zaun to escape the war. I helped her a few years ago, and she owes me a favor.
"After you help me make the armor, I will ask her to bless and enchant it... Of course, even this is not enough. I still need a weapon."
Caitlin interjected, "Li Lin's armor already has a weapon system. If that's not enough, he can also make new energy weapons for you, just like my laser sniper rifle..."
"Miss Caitlin, you still don't understand the horror of the Void. Even if this energy weapon is effective against humans like the Prophet who have gained Void power, facing the true Void, the energy will only become food that nourishes the monsters."
Li Lin on the side nodded, agreeing with Kassadin.
He knew exactly what Kassadin's so-called "weapon" was.
That was the weapon of Horok, the great Ascended being of Shurima thousands of years ago, the God-Warrior - the Blade of the Underworld.
It was he who penetrated deep into the void rift of Icathia and pierced through the core of the void channel deep underground, ending the protracted and heavy-blooded void war.
Furthermore, this Ascended weapon slew thousands of tricksters during the final days of the Shurima Empire.
When the empire fell, Horok was betrayed to death by the tyrant Nazuk of Ishtar, and the Blade of the Underworld was buried with its master in the mausoleum dedicated to Horok.
It was not until a few years ago that Kassadin found it from the tomb and sold it to a treasure hunter.
And those treasure hunters sold this weapon to an alchemy baron in Zaun...
As Li Lin expected, a hint of solemnity flashed in Kassadin's eyes, and he expressed his thoughts:
"I will wield the weapon of the god-warrior Horok and fight alongside it until my death."
