Taliyah had no idea what was going on, but she decided to follow the Elder to the trial—vaguely because she had a hunch that it had something to do with her ability to control the rock.

Originally, Rhodes wanted to avoid it, as a foreigner, he felt that he did not seem to be able to participate in it, but the weaver elder unexpectedly invited him to join him as a witness.

"Come on, you may be the only guest of the weaver."

In the blink of an eye, Rhodes unexpectedly followed the weaver elder and set foot on the Gobi Desert in Kehalise.

……………………

But the wind and sand in Halise are still the same.

Gusts of wind whirled, carrying gravel and gravel, and struck pedestrians—walking on Kohalisei, Rhodes naturally held up the arcane shield.

Taliyah seemed to be familiar with the sandstorms, and wherever she walked, the wall-like curtains rose from the ground, shielding her from the wind like a moving wall.

The Weaver Elder looked much more embarrassed, and he wrapped his face in a thick scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes—a linen scarf tied into a special slipknot, and finally held up like a gas mask, both to shield from the wind and sand, and to ensure breathability.

Rhodes was willing to help him erect an arcane shield, but the elder refused.

"This is the teaching of the Weaver Mother." Under the scarf, the elder's voice was a little dull, "The wind and sand is the voice of the weaver mother, and in Kehalise, we will not refuse the wind and sand." ”

“……”

Rod shrugged his shoulders and stopped insisting on it—he had not believed it at all, until in Freljord, he asked Anivia for the authenticity of Anivia's Breath.

Anivia answered in the affirmative, and since then, Rhodes has never dismissed some of the traditional, seemingly absurd, claims as nonsense – because behind the tradition, you don't know how much is true......

"We weavers have lived here for generations." Although Rod didn't speak, the weaver elder didn't mean to stop, "It's been like this since the weaver mother led us here, and in this wind and sand, we have our own mission. ”

"What mission?" Taliyah looked at the elder on the other side of the mantle with some surprise, "When we were children, Mama told us the fable of the Weaver Mother, but no one ever talked about the Weaver's mission......

"Because this mission doesn't need to be known to everyone." The Elder's tone became extremely low, "This is the purpose of this trial. ”

"What exactly?" Taliyah looked curious, "What's the secret?" ”

"Secret?" The elder reached out and rubbed his waist, "Probably...... It's a secret—mostly about Acacia. ”

"Acacia?" Hearing this, Taliyah was visibly stunned for a moment, "What a familiar name...... Is it the off-zone area in the southeast? ”

"This is there, the Forbidden Lands, Acacia."

"I remember that from the time I was a kid, everyone was forbidden to enter Acacia."

"Because it is a forbidden area of life, and rushing into it will only lead to no return."

"So this time ......"

"You need to pass the trial of the Weaver Mother and prove that you are a true warrior who is qualified to enter the forbidden area." The Elder's tone was very serious, "We are the Sentinels of the Kharise, and we are monitoring Acacia's movements. ”

Taliyah was obviously a little unsure, but Rhodes had guessed the past of the incident by eight and a half points - if nothing else, the Great Weaver Mother chose to leave during the Battle of Acacia not entirely out of betrayal, she was also using her own means to leave an outpost for Valoran to observe the Void, and all weavers have been observers of this outpost since birth.

"The Weaver Mother said that her heir would put an end to the forbidden power of Ori Acacia once and for all, but she didn't say who her heir would be or when her heir would appear." Elder Weaver didn't pay attention to Rhodes, who kept thinking, but carefully told Taliyah about the inheritance of the Great Weaver Mother, "Actually, your dance under the moon was very special at the beginning, and I also once wondered if it had something to do with the Weaver Mother. ”

"Is it related?" Taliyah was clearly concerned about this, "That time I felt what seemed to be being said in my ear, but...... When it was over, I couldn't remember it at all. ”

"That's the problem." Elder Weaver sighed when he heard this, "I am 92 years old this year, but I have never seen anyone like you who fits the legend of the Weaver Mother since I was a child. ”

"Since she's a good fit." At this time, Rod recognized and interjected, "Then why haven't you said anything else before?" ”

"Because it's not enough." A wry smile appeared on the elder's face under the long scarf, "At that time, Taliyah was still a child who could not fully control her power, and I didn't dare to put such a heavy matter in her hands. ”

Blinking, Rod thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

In fact, Taliya had mentioned to him about the initial loss of control of his energy - this question had bothered Taliya for a long time, and it was not until she met Yasuo and followed Yasuo's practice that Taliya was able to control her special powers.

"So this trial has something to do with control?"

"Maybe." Elder Weaver did not give a definitive answer, "Actually, we don't know exactly what this trial is, I only know that many of the people who participated in the trial eventually never returned...... That's one of the reasons why I'm reluctant to involve Taliyah, she shouldn't have to endure all this......"

"No, that's exactly what I'm supposed to do." While the Weaver Elder hesitated slightly, Taliyah herself gave an affirmative answer, "As early as when I was sixteen years old, I received the power of the Weaver Mother. ”

"Sixteen-year-old ......" the elder's fingers lightly pinched his knuckles a few times under the loose sleeves of his robe, "the time you went missing?" I remember that your father was still very strong at that time, and he was still our patriarch, and he even called half the tribe to find you......"

"I'm sorry." Speaking of what happened when she was a child, Taliyah's already somewhat plateau red face became a little darker, "But actually, that time I felt the call of the Weaver Mother, she gave me strength, and finally I used that power to create a stone mantle ......"

"It's not what I knew at the time." The elder paused and looked at Taliyah solemnly, "You never mentioned that the runes that guarded you at the time were made by yourself. ”

"Uh-" Taliyah blinked, grinning in embarrassment, "I was terrified......
