Li Lin and Kassadin, even Sivir, whose mouth was full of food and she was eating voraciously, with no royal demeanor at all, all had a hint of warmth in their eyes.
Li Lin used a pair of tongs to pick up two pieces of bread with cheese and some roasted lamb, put them on a plate, and pushed it in front of Taliyah.
"Eat quickly." He whispered first, then muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear: "I won't be able to enjoy such a rich meal for many times..."

…
Next to the cracked earthen wall in the west of Vikaura, a huge figure, almost level with the battlements, stepped over a pile of collapsed sun-dried earth brick fragments.
His entire body was hidden under a tattered robe, and in his hand he held a "scepter" wrapped in cloth with a wide head.
As the sun shone overhead, a fleeting golden light was reflected from beneath the robe from time to time.
After more than ten nights of travel, Nasus finally arrived at Vikaura, where astrology instructed him to go.
In fact, with his god-warrior physique that had been re-infused with the power of the sun disc, he could have arrived here earlier.
However, Nasus did not want to face the sun, nor did he want to attract the attention of the nomads in the Great Pass, so he chose to travel only at night.
Along the way, he heard a lot of rumors about the crazy "Desert Butcher" in the desert. He knew that it was his younger brother Renekton.
Although Nasus didn't know why his brother had gone mad, he finally resisted the urge to look for Renekton.
He had more pressing tasks to do.
Returning to Vikora after thousands of years, Nasus's thoughts were in a mess and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He strode through an archway of ashlars and looked up for a closer look.
Buildings of this quality and appearance are but a crude imitation of the glory days of the empire.
Nasus thought to himself and then glanced.
On the roadside, a vendor was using a copper contraption with a rotating wheel to fill green glass bottles with silty water.
Noticing the large shadow cast by the sun on the ground, the vendor looked up with a broad smile on his face. "Give you water... eh?"
His words got stuck in his throat as he was frightened by the giant creature in front of him that was nearly 3 meters tall.
Vastaya people of various appearances would occasionally appear in the desert, but even the meat-toothed beasts he had seen with relatively strong bodies were not as tall as the person in front of him.
"Would you like some water? Fresh water, brought from the River of Life today..."
“This arch bridge was built by the exiled craftsmen of Icathia,” Nasus said in a deep, powerful voice. “Your stall is set up among a group of ghosts.”
The vendor's face turned pale, and his back couldn't help but press against the cold stone wall behind him.
He thought that the big guy didn't like him setting up his stall in this place.
"I beg your pardon, I didn't know that..."
"You mortals have long forgotten the past. I established the Great Library to prevent the fading of these memories... Unfortunately, after the fall of Shurima, it failed to fulfill its intended purpose."
Or maybe I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations...
Nasus' voice gradually became tinged with anger.
But after thinking about it, the bitter memories of the past finally turned into a heavy sigh.
"Forget it... The cycle of life and death continues, and the fate of the Shurima Empire will also enter a new beginning." He couldn't help but snort, "The prerequisite is to find the royal bloodline."
As the vendor listened to Nasus's mumbling, the panic in his heart gradually turned into astonishment.
As a breeze blew through the robe of the burly man in front of him, he caught a glimpse of a face that was only recorded in legends in the sunlight that filtered through the hole in the roof.
"You, you are... the lost son of the desert, Nasus?!" the vendor couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
“Lost?” Nasus shook his head. “Some are more lost than I.”
He paused for a moment, his eyes flashing scarlet from the shadow of his hood, staring straight at the vendor in front of him.
"I am the keeper of the desert, seeking the royal bloodline... Have you heard any rumors?"
