To be precise, this is the imperial capital that was newly named after a powerful evil wizard escaped from death and established himself as the king.
But according to rumors among the people of Shurima, the ancient Shurima emperor has been resurrected. He re-established imperial power in Narimajer, and began to order heroes from all directions to rebuild this broken ancient empire.
"Amumu, are you sure? In Tomb No. 4, the corpses of generations of ancient Shurima emperors sleep, and Tomb No. 4 has still not been excavated?"
Lin Luo probably understood what was going on and asked.
Amumu nodded and said:
"Yes, to a certain extent, I am also the guardian of Tomb No. 4, and Tomb No. 4 is actually the core tomb of the Emperor's Tomb. Every generation of Shurima emperors will be buried there... What do you think?
As for Azir, if he is really the last emperor of Shurima, even if he turns into dust and smoke, he will still return to the fourth tomb."
Sivir frowned and said:
"That is to say... Azir was not really resurrected. The one who was really resurrected was Xerath! The demon who stole the ascension ritual!"
Lin Luo nodded:
"This is probably what happened. Ordinary people have no way of knowing all this. Azir just woke up, but it does not mean resurrection. But why is Xerath, who was in the same era as Azir, able to wake up and be resurrected? This is not
We can just make random guesses... The explosion of the ascension ceremony involved things that were too far away. Everyone had their own opinions and had no idea who was real and who was fake, unless..."
Cat head suddenly said:
"Unless, I personally find a person from that era and get the truth from his mouth!"
Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that finding Nasus was now the most urgent task. And even if there was no situation in the fourth tomb, according to another plot line, they would still have to find Nasus, which is enough to show that various quest lines would intersect at him.
He is an absolutely important figure!
The flashing Chalikar was flying in front, leading everyone to Narimajie, the brand new imperial capital.
"Looks like he's here?"
Lin Luo frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Because Narimajie is now the chassis of Xerath, and the entire imperial city is under his control.
But Nasus was Azir's loyal minister at the time. It can be said that they are two completely opposite camps. After Azir was framed by Xerath, Nasus' hatred for the latter has reached the sky.
In this case, it should be impossible for each other to live in the same city.
"No, Chalikar's direction is wrong!"
Sivir suddenly spoke and looked at the direction in which it was flying. Although it was heading towards Narimajie, it suddenly turned around outside the imperial city not far away and flew to an extremely far place.
"Sure enough, in another place... it is a small city. To be precise, it should be just the smallest small county town."
Lin Luo and others quickly arrived at this small county town.
Sivir was a well-informed bounty hunter. He took out a simple cowhide map and followed the terrain to find a very small landmark.
"This is the ancient city of Hor, which means the ancient city of harvest in the ancient Shuriman language."
Sivir said:
"The area around here is all a wasteland, which can barely be used to grow some crops that can survive in the desert. The people living here are basically farmers."
Lin Luo looked around and said:
"Let's go to the city first and have a look."
The markets in the city are drowned in color and noise, and the air is filled with strong smells.
Arched canvas awnings close to each other covered almost the entire street, and the sound of fierce bargaining, mixed with the pungent smell of spices and barbecue, could be heard everywhere.
Lin Luo and others entered here and felt that this scene was very familiar, as if they had seen this scene in many ancient cities in Shurima.
Taliyah whispered:
"The culture of Shurima is common. Most city-states are almost the same, but their armed forces and beliefs are different. By the way, you know that Shurima people also have beliefs, right?"
Lin Luo nodded.
Of course he knows that, to be precise, people in Runeterra basically have faith.
Even in the Twin Cities, there was once a belief in a storm spirit named Janna who could ensure good weather for those who went to sea.
It's just that today's technological development has led to the emergence of the Hex Flying Gate. Janna's power of faith gradually collapsed, so she was lost to everyone.
"It should be nine different ascended ones, or...dark descendants?"
Lin Luo guessed.
At this time, Sivir said in a deep voice:
"Wrong, to be precise, there are ten ascended ones. It's just that one of the ascended ones awakened himself after degenerating into a dark descendant, and broke away from the path of the dark descendants and became independent on his own. That's why it happened later.
It is believed that there are only nine darkspawn of Shurima."
At this time, Maotou suddenly asked:
"But isn't the Darkin very evil? Why do the Shurima people believe in him?"
Sivir sneered:
"Evil, but powerful, for example... you live in a cruel and evil country, and the king has terrible power. At this time, you are a citizen, do you have room to resist? If you don't trust him, you may die directly.
You just have to trust him and follow his instructions."
Lin Luo said:
"Then can I understand... Today's Shurima has faith, but what the people believe in are those evil gods, and this situation has not improved."
At this time, Taliyah closed her eyes and showed a painful look:
"Yes, yes... Otherwise, why do you think we want to change Shurima today? This country... no, this is no longer a country. This land is withered, filled with sin, sinking and staring into the abyss.
With the people, all the people connected to this dirt road fell together..."
"No, you are not, you are a child of Weaver Mother."
Tata suddenly spoke to comfort Taliyah, who was trembling and looking like she couldn't bear it.
"You are wrong, Weaver Mother... She is not a god that belongs exclusively to Shurima. There are also followers of Weaver Mother in other places. So theoretically, I belong to the Shurima people, but the god I believe in belongs to the Shurima people.
All of Runeterra."
"Those true Darkin believers are also struggling and blaming themselves. They are unable to break free. At this time, someone must stand up and break the deadlock. This is why I have been fighting for it!"
Taliyah completely ignored the self-promotion and boasting of the vendors on the street and their pleas for the livelihood of the family and the children.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd and the haggling had nothing to do with her.
At this time, Taliyah really felt very desperate.
Like the previous city-state, hundreds of people were crowded on the wide streets leading to the ruined city walls.
Wizened old men who looked like wise men sat under the porch and smoked pipes, and the fragrant smoke evaporated like mist.
She saw the markings of many different tribes, now united.
"Now I understand that we can only resist on our own and find the right path. We should replenish food and water sources first. Maybe it will take a lot of time to find Nasus."
She whispered to herself.
After Lin Luo and others walked around, they bought urgently needed things and food.
Just like the previous process, Taliya looked around and bought many things he needed.
Half an hour later, the crude satchel on her shoulder was stuffed with food, including bacon, oats, bread and cheese, plus two skins of water.
"Let's go, Sivir, please, you're going to bleed again."
Because he came to this county before, Sivir was forced to put away the Chalikal, and such a sharp weapon was flying around in the crowd, easily injuring innocent people.
However, she didn't realize that when she was about to move on, a tall man was standing not far ahead.
Under the gaze of everyone, Taliyah bumped into the big man. As if some terrible force was triggered, the whole person was suddenly ejected and lay flat on the ground.
"Ouch...what's going on..."
The other party was motionless, and she felt as if she had hit a cliff.
The people in the market seemed to be used to it. The crowds of people came and went around him like a stream flowing through rocks.
Lin Luo also noticed this scene and began to look at this tall man.
He was wrapped in a rag-like robe from head to toe, but it still couldn't hide his tall and muscular figure.
He was holding tightly a long cane wrapped in cloth, the broad top also wrapped in rag strips.
Lin Luo found that his legs were bent at a strange angle, making it difficult to move.
"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now."
Taliyah raised her head and said timidly.
For some reason, when she saw this man, she felt inexplicable fear and timidity.
He looked down at her, his face hidden in the shadow cast by the stretched turban, but said nothing. He stretched out his hand, his fingers wrapped in bandages like those of a leper.
Taliyah only hesitated for a moment before taking his hand.
He lifted her up effortlessly. She saw a ray of golden light flickering slightly under his dusty robe. He put her down and put his hands into his sleeves again.
To put it simply, Taliyah was lifted up. His voice was hoarse, with a heavy accent, and it was buzzing, as if it was coming from a deep well of sadness in his heart.
"Little man, you have to watch the road carefully."
The big man said:
"Shurima is a dangerous place now."
"Thank you," Taliyah said.
Lin Luo's eyes gradually frowned, because he found that he could not see through the other party's information.
That's right, my own eye of insight is unable to see the other party's character information. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing!
Only Sivir's expression was particularly solemn at this time. In addition to solemnity, there was also a strong sense of surprise and disbelief.
"Lin...it's him!"
Sivir whispered, approaching Lin Luo, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Lin Luo said puzzledly:
"what are you saying?"
Sivir took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"I said...it's him! It's the person we were looking for, and he actually appeared directly in front of us!"
At this time, Lin Luo was startled. He looked at this scary tall man with a surprised look again, and suddenly realized why his insightful eyes were not effective on him. It seemed that this was the reason.
Taliyah also realized something, suddenly looked nervous, and whispered to Sivir:
"What? You said... he is what we are looking for, Grand Maester Nasus... No, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Unexpectedly, Sivir shook his head and said:
"No, it's not a coincidence at all. You just think it's a coincidence. Have you forgotten that Chalikar brought us here all the way? And you may have just thought that I was here because there are so many people in the county.
, that’s why I took the initiative to stop Chalikar... Actually, that’s not the case.”
Sivir explained:
"It was Chalikar, it stopped on its own, and that means we have found the person we were looking for!"
At this time, the huge tall man spoke again, with the same hoarse and thick accent, and his tone of voice was filled with unchanging sadness and pity for the world.
"Don't be surprised, I took the initiative to come to you."
A simple word directly made Lin Luo and others freeze on the spot. They never expected such a thing.
"After all, prophecy and wisdom don't exist in just one place. When the light of Chalikar lights up, it's impossible for only one person to feel it. To be precise, all ascended people can, of course, including me.
"
Lin Luo said in surprise:
"So...you knew we were coming, and you deliberately waited for us here?"
"That's right."
Sivir whispered:
"Chalikal can activate the perception of all ascended people. The more powerful the person, the more so. So when I activated it with blood, Lord Nasus must have noticed it."
Lin Luo carefully looked at this legendary demigod-level hero - the God of Death in the Desert.
In the world of Runeterra, he is an existence with godhead in a true sense, a powerful person who transcends the level of human life.
The huge battlement was only just as high as his height, and the higher parts were made of earthen bricks dried by the scorching sun.
Today's Shurima people must be amazed, but in his eyes, these are just poor imitations.
"Actually, I know that I shouldn't come here, because my whereabouts are locked by another terrifying existence. Wherever I go, that person's eyes will follow me, but I don't have much time.
The words scrawled in blood on the wall of the Astrology Tower indicate my direction, and the new owner of Chalikar has appeared."
The huge tall man made a deep voice and looked around Lin Luo and others.
His eyes finally fell on the war goddess Sivir, who was holding a chalikar and having blue eyes.
He rumbled:
"Little man, it's you, isn't it? It was you who awakened Azir, the original desert emperor?"
Sivir suddenly felt unspeakable pressure.
Her power is top-notch in Shurima. She was born with the blood of the Shurima royal family. It stands to reason that she can ignore this terrible majesty.
But in the eyes of the other party, there is not only the innately powerful bloodline, but also the power of the godhead brought by the Ascension Ceremony.
the most important is.
The other party's eyes were full of wisdom that could see through reincarnation.
