Chapter 887 Dog-Headed Nasus
What is that? A person?
On the Emperor's Avenue, Azir looked up at the sky in confusion and paused for a moment.
After the prying eyes faded for a while and no longer appeared, he knocked the scepter in his hand on the golden ground with a clang and continued to move forward.
Unlike Ji Xing thought, he was not reviewing the troops, but reminiscing.
Three thousand years have passed, and even the position of the stars is no longer the same as he remembered. He has forgotten a lot and is confused about a lot.
What kind of disaster happened during my ascension ceremony that caused Shurima to overturn and buried everything in the yellow sand?
As they got closer and closer to the sun disk, the figures and soldiers formed by the sand and dust gradually became terrified, pointing at the sun disk and screaming silently. They turned and ran away, some fell to the ground, and also crawled forward, and were finally wiped into dust by an invisible force.
Azir remembered something, so he ran, crossing five steps of the ascension base in one step, with his eagle claws embedded in the stairs, and using all four limbs without the demeanor of an emperor.
He reached the top, where only his closest people stood, his family, his advisors, assistants, priests and bishops...
He obviously hadn't noticed it, but the power of ascension made the details as clear as yesterday!
His pregnant wife, his shy daughter holding his wife's hand, his son holding his head high and chest out, and he was about to grow up.
Everyone was sad and desperate.
The yellow sand continued to interpret everything. He saw himself entering the ascension ceremony, flying into the air under the infusion of solar energy, transforming from a human emperor to a great god warrior, making him like the first queen Setaka!
At this time, another figure condensed by the yellow sand appeared behind him, with the most naked hatred on his face, and chanted a spell, and Azir's figure was shattered like glass.
That was his most trusted servant, his wizard, his friend, Xerath!
He usurped his ascension ceremony, killed himself, and caused the solar energy to erupt in the capital of Shurima, killing everyone!
Azir took a breath of cold air.
Why?
He didn't understand, but he had seen enough. All the yellow sand figures collapsed under his thoughts, and at the same time he felt that the ancient witch spirit, Xerath, was still alive!
Just now... was he looking at me? !
Azir looked up at the sky again.
"Xerath..." His voice was angry and hoarse: "Your sins are unforgivable!"
The yellow sand rolled and condensed into shape! Hundreds of thousands of sand soldiers filled the entire capital, each of them was lifelike, and they were truly elite!
I don't know if it was because of his resurrection and second ascension, Azir felt that he had a much stronger power than the ascenders in his memory. Even if three thousand years have passed, this Shurima continent will still obey his orders!
...
Ixoken, the central tower.
Ji Xing, wearing a dark purple robe, climbed up the steps step by step and said to the elders: "I have passed the test, but I don't need to borrow the books of Yuanchu Axiom. I already know it."
The elders looked at his robe, which symbolized the identity of Yuntal, and their mood was very complicated.
They were like scholars who had studied Yuanchu Axiom for a lifetime. Their mood would always change with their research results. Suddenly one day, a young man who studied the same "subject" but had never been exposed to Yuanchu Axiom came and cracked all the secrets of Yuanchu Axiom in a few seconds.
He didn't even touch the basics, but understood everything from the questions on a test paper.
What kind of mood would they be in?
The mentality collapsed!
Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Xing said, "Let me introduce myself again. I am Sewell from Piltover, a mage, and I believe that there is no mage in the entire Rune Continent who has more knowledge and power than me.
The Yuanchu Axiom is a great elemental theorem, and the ancestors who discovered it must have been the most brilliant mages of that era."
The elders then realized that Ji Xing's claim to be the first mage was not self-boasting, but a stepping stone for them in advance, and he had long been confident that he could reach this level.
When mentioning the ancestors, it was obviously compared with the ancestors who created the Yuanchu Axiom.
If it was before, this would make them furious, but thinking about it now, it really made them feel a lot better-if the mage in front of them was the best mage of this era, with the same talent as the great ancestor, wouldn't it be normal for him to easily understand the Yuanchu Axiom?
The facts were in front of them, and Ji Xing's performance of reaching the result directly without calculation was vivid.
An older, white-haired mage among the elders stood out and sighed, "On behalf of all the elementalists of Ixoken, I welcome your arrival, a foreign mage, the darling of the times.
You have already got what you want. Do you have anything else to discuss next?"
"I said before I came." Ji Xing said, "I will give you equivalent knowledge in return. Let's find a place to sit and chat... But before that, I have a question for you.
If Azir, the last emperor of Shurima, is resurrected and wants to take control of the Shurima continent again, what will Ixtal's attitude be?"
The elders all changed their expressions.
Qiana's mother, who was standing in the back, forgot everything else and rushed forward and said, "This is not a hypothesis, right? The remaining soldiers learned about the reappearance of Nerimaj from the desert travelers. Is Azir really resurrected?!"
"Then it seems to be true." Ji Xing nodded and said, "I didn't hear it, but I just saw it, using your assessment magic circle."
Then the surroundings were silent again, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed.
It is obvious that after three thousand years, Ixtal is no longer willing to return to the embrace of Shurima. This probably also represents all the people living in this desert, at least most of them.
Ten minutes later.
Qiana stood outside the tower, staring at the gate of the tower with some dissatisfaction.
She was driven out.
The mother and the elders seemed to have something to say to Sewell about Azir's resurrection. In short, she, the tenth heir, was not allowed to participate.
"The last emperor of Shurima..."
It was the first time she heard about this. An old antique who had died for three thousand years was going to stand up and unify Shurima? How could this be possible? !
She is the Queen of Elements. Her talent is worthy of ruling a wider land, ruling the entire Shurima, and even the Valoran continent!
... Is it worth it?
No! She frowned, of course it's worth it!
The experiences of the past two days made her a little unconfident. She hesitated and struggled, and finally chose to stand here and wait.
"Sevier..."
Half an hour later, her mother hurried out of the tower, looking worried. She didn't even notice her when she walked past her, and didn't look back until she walked ten meters away.
"Qiana... go home." She said majestically, "Don't make trouble anymore!"
Qiyana agreed symbolically, but didn't move at all. The absent-minded archon didn't notice and went straight to deal with his own affairs.
Her mother would not be willing to hand over Ixtal to Azir. Qiyana was confident, so she continued to wait outside the tower. From morning to dusk, Qiyana sometimes sat on the steps and sometimes paced in front of the tower. She felt that she had never been as patient as today in all these years.
Finally, Ji Xing walked out of the tower.
"Are you giving a 'lecture' to the elders?" She half-raised her head and looked over: "It seems that they are not good students because they are slow to accept new things. It took you so long."
Ji Xing said: "It's not a lecture, it's just an exchange."
"Hypocrisy." Qiyana snorted: "This world should have the strong first. I admit that you are very powerful. Whether you are the world's number one wizard or not, you are better than Ixuokun and everyone I have ever seen! But I will surpass you!
Teach me magic. When I become the real Queen of Elements, you will be the number one wizard in my empire. I will give you the highest honor!"
Ji Xing said with a smile: "Next time you have to say it differently. Well... just say that you are the reincarnation of a residual soul of Queen Setaka, who was persecuted by the unworthy descendant Azir. As long as I help you now, when you recover your strength and unify the Shurima Empire, you will be named the Great Mage of the Nation."
Qiana was stunned.
It was not until Ji Xing walked by that she rushed over angrily: "Sevier, are you playing with me like a child?!"
The ferocious look was not scary in Ji Xing's eyes. Instead, it finally looked like a little girl. He looked at Qiyana and smiled: "If you want to learn magic, you must first have awe for this world.
Even I am far from being able to be an emperor. Isn't your arrogance a joke in the eyes of the strong? If you want to explore the abyss of the magic, learn to restrain your character first. When you really become a queen, you can put on the queen's style and aura.
I don't accept disciples, and I won't become a wizard hired by anyone. If you want to learn magic from me... Well, I still need a maid to handle trivial matters. Do you want to do it?"
Qiana was dumbfounded.
"You, what did you say?!"
The next moment, she said angrily: "You let the future noble Queen of Elements be a maid?! This is impossible. Even if I lose my magic forever, even if I lose the right to inherit Ixoakon, I will never be anyone's maid! I don't believe that without you, I can't find another magician to learn magic with my qualifications. Just wait and see, Seville!"
"I will stay in Ixoakon for three days, you think about it carefully."
"I can't think about it!"
She walked away angrily, and Ji Xing went to the town streets of Ixoakon, ate something first, and then went to the residence arranged by the elders for him.
For the goal of world star upgrade, he will start to write "Seville Axioms" next. Qiyana, in addition to her personality, meets the requirements of trial learners and experimental subjects, helping him to adjust the difficulty.
It doesn't matter if you refuse.
It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are many two-legged mage apprentices. Even if there is a demand for talent, Ji Xing has already had a backup target.
The last time he went back to Piltover, he found a little girl named Zeli in Zaun, who was born with the elemental magic of lightning.
Let's see what happens.
After settling down, Ji Xing first took out the card and performed another divination. The content of the divination was naturally not about the apprentice, but about Azir and the ascension of the sun disc.
When the results were arranged on the table, Ji Xing frowned and stared at it, and fell into a brief silence.
"A sign of great misfortune?"
This was the first time that such a result appeared after Ji Xing obtained the divination magic. The hexagram was unclear, and he only knew that there might be fatal danger!
After more than ten seconds, he shook his head and put the card back without changing his itinerary.
Divination is just to make oneself mentally prepared and not miss some opportunities. If it is the accumulation period of the invasion, it is fine. Now, Ji Xing will not be discouraged by some risks.
The bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the fish.
He closed his eyes and concentrated more on concluding the second rune witchcraft rune.
...
Ten days later.
The closer to Nerimaj, the easier it is for people to know the news of Azir's resurrection.
The camp built in the old city of Vikora was a ruined city a few days ago, but now it has become a prosperous settlement.
But when Nasus walked in here, his heart was filled with sadness that was difficult to describe in words.
As a university scholar of Shurima, a great god warrior and ascender, he had followed Queen Setaka to fight and experienced the demise of Shurima. He can be called the surviving history of Shurima.
Even Azir may not have as high prestige as him in Shurima. Only he can raise his arms and rebuild the Shurima Empire.
But for the past three thousand years, he has been walking in the yellow sand like a self-exile.
Because he was immersed in regret.
Three thousand years ago, he and his brother fell into the enemy's clumsy trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, which led to Azir's usurpation of the Ascension Ceremony, destroying the capital of the empire and the bloodline of the queen!
Later, in order to fight against Xerath, who had seized the energy of Ascension and turned into a witch spirit, he and his brother Renekton fought side by side, but they were still defeated, and he could only bear the pain of sealing his brother and Xerath together!
That was his favorite brother.
"Azir has resurrected."
"Xerath and Renekton have been released, but from the description of the desert traveler, the three thousand years of sealing has turned Renekton into a monster."
Nasus looked around the land sadly.
It's time to atone!
First... find the bloodline of the queen.
According to the bloody words scribbled on the astronomical observatory, he was sure that the bloodline of the queen had come here, and the witch spirit who hated Azir would also be attracted here. The blood of ascension can allow Azir to live again after three thousand years, but it can also bring greater destruction to Shurima with evil intentions.
Find him first, or her.
Bang!
Nasus, who was thinking in a mess, didn't pay attention. The person in front of him didn't seem to look at the road either, bumped into him, and fell to the ground.
His face was hidden under the heavy hooded robe. Looking down... it was a little girl, but in a trance, it seemed that the figure of a naughty and reckless little boy overlapped.
Renekton... I'm sorry.
Nasus whispered, bent down, stretched out his bandaged palm, and lifted her up effortlessly. The little girl looked at her, as if she was stunned by his unusual strength.
"Little man, you have to watch the road carefully. Shurima is a dangerous place now." His accent was heavy and buzzing.
"Ah, thank you, thank you."
At the same time, on the other side of Vikora, Ji Xing, who changed into a set of local sand-proof clothing, walked into the ancient city in the sun.
Beside him, Qiana was carrying a small package on one shoulder, looking around, following Ji Xing closely, trying hard not to show a curious expression because of this unique appearance.
