When everything was on track in Antahir, Rhodes finally left the rejuvenated ancient city for a while and headed east.

Rhodes targeted the Weaver Tribe.

This ancient, nomadic tribe that has always lived in the southeast of Shurima is a rather unique presence in the whole of Shurima.

According to their history, it seems that these weavers had already lived in the region of Kohalis, when Gushurima was in its prime, and at that time it was already a desert, not as barren as it is now, but also a land of poverty.

Perhaps it was because the environment was so bad that the conquerors of Gushurima consciously skipped it, conquering Acacia further east and south, but they were not interested in the weavers of Kohalise.

Thus, this ancient tribe lived in a nomadic situation in Kohalisse for thousands of years.

In these long years, there have been a few powerful warriors and spellcasters who were born as weavers, and they twisted their bodies, which can be regarded as making a few waves in the long history of Shurima - but most of the time, the weaver tribe has always played a small transparent role, and survived in this Gobi desert strongly.

They believe in Mother Earth, Mother Weaver, and they believe that their fate is guided by Mother Weaver, and they are people who are born close to the earth, and they are also the target of Rhodes' visit this time.

When he met Taliyah before, Rhodes had already scheduled this visit, and Taliyah, who did not perceive malice in Rhodes, naturally did not refuse this kind of visit.

……………………

Walking in Kehalise, Rhodes was also helpless in his heart.

The geography here is too bad - Rhodes has the intention to summon a magic flying carpet to travel, but the change of direction and the large amount of sand and gravel in the Harisse are a big threat to Rod's flying carpet.

In Valoran, no one can repair Rhodes' flying carpet!

And if you summon a puppet warhorse...... It's okay to rush for a short distance, but if you run for a long time, Rod's hip bone will not be able to stand it.

In desperation, Rhodes could only alternate the three modes of travel, riding a horse, sitting on a flying carpet, and then walking for a while, so that he slowly entered the Khalisse area.

But Halise, a sea of sand and gravel.

Although Taliyah himself could not tell where his tribe was, Rhodes found the stone mantle formed by the passing of the Rock Sparrow.

These breastwork-like walls of stone curtains reveal Taliyah's whereabouts—all of Shurima, and you can't find a second person who hurries on the rocks like her.

Following the path of these stone curtains, Rhodes followed Taliyah, and it took him more than a month to finally find Taliyah and her tribe in the Gobi Desert.

Seeing Rhodes again, Taliyah was a little surprised - she couldn't believe that Rhodes had really come to visit her and her tribe!

For Taliyah, Rhodes' arrival was more than just a visit, but it was also a testament to what she had been emphasizing to the tribal elders – "weavers need to be in touch with the outside world, and we can't stay under the cover of the Gobi forever."

Facing the smiling Taliyah, Rhodes was obviously a little confused, he couldn't understand the joy and excitement in Taliyah's heart, so he could only politely give his own response, and then asked for the information of her tribal elders.

"You want to see the Elders?" Hearing Rod's request, Taliyah was obviously a little surprised, "But...... In fact, the elders did not like to see people outside the tribe very much. ”

"But this time I have to see it." Rhodes spread his hands a little helplessly, "Azir has been resurrected, the emperor of Shurima is about to return, if all the nationalities of Shurima are not united at this time, I am afraid that things will go in an unpredictable direction......"

"Uh, that's what you're talking about?" Taliyah had not been trained in this kind of aspect, and she was not very accustomed to this kind of thinking, and in the face of Rod's words, she could only blink awkwardly, indicating that she didn't know what Rod meant, "What unpredictable direction?" ”

"If Azir really becomes the true emperor of Shurima again." Rhodes shrugged, "There's a good chance that Shurima will be able to lead him into a Noxus-like being - waging war for conquest. ”

Hearing Rhodes mention the word war, Taliyah shuddered almost subconsciously.

As one of the participants in the Battle of Ionia (although Taliyah is technically a soy sauce fighter), she knows exactly what war means.

If Shurima does become a being like your Noxus, I'm afraid she'll have to throw herself into a slaughter, which is not what she wants.

"Okay." After listening to Rhodes explain the importance of the problem, Taliyah finally nodded, "But we have to say it beforehand, our elder is not a good talker. ”

"Understood."

……………………

In a tent that looked the same color as the stones on the Gobi, Rhodes met with the elders of the Taliyah tribe.

This was a woman who looked to be fully senile, and when Rhodes found her, she was quietly nestled in her simple bed.

"Hello, young man." Seeing Rod, the old man turned over and sat up, "Why are you visiting me, this old fellow?" ”

"For Shurima—and for the weaver tribe." Rhodes also spoke bluntly, "Actually, Emperor Shurima has returned. ”

"The Emperor of Shurima?" The elder blinked in surprise, "Sounds like a very powerful guy. ”

"Of course, he's Shurima's former emperor." Rhodes nodded, "He is a terrible man, and under his rule, the power of Gushurima reached its peak in ancient times. ”

"So, what do you mean?"

"But Shurima will assimilate the culture after the expansion." Rhodes looked at the elder in front of him who seemed to be unconcerned, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, "We can't wait for an emperor who pursues expansion to rule Shurima. ”

"Young man, there seems to be some truth to what you said." The elder stared at Rod's face for a long time, "But I don't have the breath of fate in you, and the Weaver Mother doesn't like guys who hide their heads and tails." ”

"If you're talking about the power of runes," Rod smiled awkwardly but politely at Elder Weaver's words, "it may be because I don't have any spells at all—it seems that fate is a little bit of a contradiction with me. ”
