Chapter 2267 Father and Daughter Reunion
"Father?" Taliyah's voice trembled a little, because she saw a familiar figure among the many tribal leaders. He was very similar to the one in her memory, but he had aged a lot.
Taliyah's tribe was a wandering weaver, located in the hilly area of Shurima. She spent her childhood herding sheep in the tribe of wandering weavers. After a long time, seeing her father again, Taliyah felt guilty, expectant, happy and other complex emotions, which brought back her memories.
When Taliyah was still a toddler, her people often migrated with seasonal water sources, and she was busy collecting colorful stones along the way. As she grew older, the earth listened to her call more and more, following her footprints in the sea of sand, forming a circle and an arch.
In the midsummer when she was sixteen years old, for a lost lamb, Taliyah left her settlement without hesitation to look for it. Her father was the leader of the tribe and the most respected shepherd, and she didn't want to disappoint him.
Taliyah followed the lamb's footsteps into the darkness, along a dry stream into a steep canyon. On a high wall, she found the lamb trapped between rocks, unable to move forward or backward.
The sand and stones called to her in the dark, and the cliffs seemed to reach out to welcome her. Taliyah hesitantly put her hands on the rocks, determined to save the shivering lamb.
This was the first time she really mobilized the hidden power in her body. The power of the elements swept over her without any explanation, like a rainstorm engulfing her. Taliyah couldn't help but open her arms and face the magic without reservation. Rocks broke one after another and jumped towards her fingertips. The rock wall of the valley fell towards her with the lamb.
Her father found her following the faint sound of the sheep. When he saw his daughter buried under a thick layer of soil and rocks, he was extremely sad. After two days of high fever and dreaming, Taliya woke up in Babayan's tent. She told the old grandmother of the tribe and her parents how the rocks in the canyon called her that night.
Babayan comforted her family and said that it was the blessing of the Mother Weaver. This mysterious guardian was highly respected by the nomadic tribe and it was she who protected their daughter. Taliya sensed her parents' worries and concealed the truth.
But at the moment of dancing under the moon, Taliya could no longer hide. As she danced, the stone pillars rose from the ground and rushed into the sky in the moonlight. Because of the loss of control of energy, she also hurt her mother.
Although the wound was not serious, Taliya realized at that moment that her existence was a threat to the relatives she loved deeply in the world. She ran into the vast night, as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, making the ground under her feet tremble.
Later, her father found her and told Taliyah that she could not escape her own power. She had to complete the dance to see her true path. After completing the dance, Taliyah knew that if she stayed in the tribe, it would be like risking their lives. So, although everyone was in pain, Taliyah said goodbye to her parents and tribesmen and set out on a long journey alone.
"Taliyah..." Hearing a slightly familiar voice, he didn't have a clear impression, but Kels still felt something and looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing a girl, it had been a few years since Taliyah left the tribe, but Kels still recognized her as his daughter Taliyah at a glance.
The father and daughter hugged each other, and Taliyah's eyes even turned red. After hugging her father, Taliyah hurriedly asked: "Father, how is mother now? Is she okay?"
"Your mother is fine, but she misses you more and more. Only a part of our tribe came this time, so you should take some time to go back and see your mother. By the way, why are you here, Taliyah, and following the Lord Guardian?" Kyles looked at the grown-up Taliyah, and felt a little relieved. Then he remembered the location where he saw Taliyah just now, which seemed to be with the group of Nasus Guardians.
Hearing her father mention this, Taliyah was naturally quite proud. After all, she would also be one of the founding fathers of the Empire of the Sun, and she saved the life of the first emperor Sivir.
Although Taliyah's character would not make her act erratically because of this favor, it did not affect her pride. She said to her father: "I came to Narimaj with Lord Son of the Sun, and I can be regarded as a great contributor to the Sun Empire!"
"My daughter is really the best." Kyles was also proud of Taliyah, and was also happy that Taliyah had a good relationship with the Son of the Sun and the first empress who was about to establish the Sun Empire.
Their tribe originally lived a life of grazing and weaving. Among the many tribes that arrived in Narimajh, it was not strong at all, and could even be said to be the weaker part of the tribe.
The other tribal leaders saw the scene of Kyles and his daughter Taliyah recognizing each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little envious. No matter how weak Kyles' tribe was, as long as Taliyah was there, they would not live badly in the newly created Sun Empire.
Nasus, Isabella and others naturally saw the recognition of the father and daughter, including Lin Jiu on the altar under the sun disk. But he didn't care. On the contrary, Lin Jiu knew Talia's story and knew that the people in her tribe were all good people and worth cultivating.
After all, in Lin Jiu's eyes, there is no difference between the strengths of the tribes gathered in the city of Nerimaj. The weakest and the strongest are the same. At most, they have different resistance capabilities when facing invasions from other regional forces.
However, for Lin Jiu, there is no difference. Anyway, in front of the enhanced version of the Sun Fire Emblem Totem, it doesn't matter who's strength is improved.
Take Sivir beside him as an example. Relying on the power of the sun bloodline, her physical fitness is undoubtedly at the peak of mortals. With the cross blade of the first queen Setaka, Sivir's strength is about the fourth level. It is already a very strong existence among mortals, otherwise it would not be possible to have a considerable reputation in the mercenary world of Shurima.
After Lin Jiu used the sun disc and the sun fire emblem totem to perform the ascension ceremony for Sivir, this power can make Sivir's upper limit reach the sixth level. If the sun bloodline in Sivir can be activated, her strength will likely be raised to the seventh level in a short period of time, just like Azir.
Lin Jiu used the Sun Bird Mark to mobilize the power in the Sun Disc. He could clearly feel that the power in the Sun Disc was very strong. At least he could not fully accept this power. It was probably the eighth-level power, but it was enough to be able to mobilize it.
After all, this was the power that the ancient Shurima Empire had been gathering for so many years. Even after it erupted once in the last generation, it still had such a strong power. It was just that it had been dormant. If Sivir had not accidentally entered the ancient tomb and activated the Sun Disc with blood, it would have been buried for who knows how long. Azir was able to return because the Sun Disc was activated, connecting him to the Rune Continent.
Why is it said that the Sun Disc can greatly enhance the effect of the Sun Fire Totem? Because the Sun Disc contains not only the power of the sun, but also a large amount of faith power. This faith power is because the people of Shurima gather here because of their faith in the sun.
