Nasus came to Vicoula not to see this ugly sun temple, but the blood scrawled on the wall of the Astrology Tower directed him to come here. He sensed that an owner of an ascended bloodline was already in Vicora Ra shows up.
This bloodline has existed for a long time, long before the empire was in ruins, but its territory spanned the entire continent. This is the most precious and powerful bloodline in ancient Shurima. Therefore, the most important thing is to catch up Find that person before the enemy does.
After all, the Ascension Blood can bring Azir back to the present world from the void, or it can destroy the reborn Shurima with evil intentions.
Ten warriors wore dusty cloaks and bronze plate armor, standing between Nasus and the priest. He was a tall and thin man, wearing a robe covered with iridescent feathers, and a pair of large sleeves imitating Like flying wings, the turban resembles an ebony beak. The face under the turban looks noble, merciless, and awe-inspiring.
"Are you Nasus?" the cleric asked. His voice was deep and broad, with a royal tone, but Nasus felt his fear. It was one thing to claim that he saw the god coming, but to see it with his own eyes. But it's another matter.
"Yes, I am Nasus. But more importantly, who are you?" Nasus needed to confirm whether the priest in front of him was the person he wanted to find the bloodline inheritance.
The cleric straightened his back and puffed out his chest, like a male bird in the mating season, and said proudly: "I am Azrahil Salamu, the descendant of the Eagle King, the first forerunner of Vicora, the Light of Light. Man, Light Walker, Fire Keeper, Dawnbringer..."
Nasus interrupted him: "You said you are of Emperor Azir's blood?"
"That goes without saying!"
"Then prove it with your blood." Nasus slammed the ax handle to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise. The smoke stopped in the air, like a shimmering veil, and then surrounded the priesthood. The warrior and his warriors fell slowly in circles.
In the blink of an eye, the round dust turned into a hurricane. The warriors couldn't help but cover their faces, while the priests couldn't see clearly, choked and coughed, and bent their waists almost in half.
A sandstorm envelops the furious wind in the deepest part of the desert, which can twist a group of Icasul into skeletons in an instant. Armor is useless, and the sand will penetrate from every nook and cranny and scratch people's skin. The sun disk is in It swayed back and forth in the strong wind summoned by Nasus, and the ropes threaded in the iron rings became taut.
The priest's face was covered with blood rubbed out by the sand, and there were scarlet tears hanging on his cheeks. Nasus carried him closer to the sun disk. Although this disk was a fake, not a single ounce of gold was melted into it. But it can still reflect sunlight, which is enough. The sun is the best way to detect the king's bloodline.
Nasus pressed the cleric's face onto the disc, and the metal burned by the scorching sun was burned on his injured skin. Only a scream was heard. Nasus threw the crying man aside and stared at the disc. There was a hissing stream of blood on the plate. The blood had been baked into brown lumps, and the smell of blood wafted into his nose.
"Your blood does not belong to the ascended bloodline." Nasus said sadly, "You are not the person I am looking for."
While Nasus was playing "teppanyaki" here, the bandits in the distance had already reached the gates of Vicoula. The dust stirred up by the marching troops gathered into a cloud and approached with murderous intent.
Through the smoke and dust, the bright sunlight reflected on the spear points and armor could be seen. Inside, the residents of Vicoula heard the beating of war drums and the sharp sound of bugles.
Then the figures of laden mounts appeared in the dust. The screaming war beasts were tied to the yoke with thick ropes and driven by soldiers holding goads. These monsters had calcified scales on their bodies and curved horns sticking out.
Teeth are simply natural battering rams, able to effortlessly demolish the already crumbling walls of Vicora.
There is almost nothing left of this abandoned house on the eastern edge of Weikaola. There is a large skylight on the roof, and there is ankle-deep sand on the ground, but there are still four walls. When the weather is hottest, the top of the head happens to be still
There are trees that can provide some shade.
Taliyah's package was standing in the corner of the room, ready to be picked up and gone as usual. A leather pouch filled with water and goat's milk was hung on the wall. There was enough dried meat to last for several weeks next to the clothes. The leather pouch was full.
Stones collected from all over Valoran.
Lin Jiu's eyes passed over the bandit group and landed on this abandoned house. He didn't have perspective and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. But he could vaguely feel that there was a guy inside whose blood could activate the power of the sun, giving him more power.
Got some attention.
The person who can trigger the reaction of the power of the sun is undoubtedly the blood of the king in Shurima. As a visitor to the paradise of reincarnation, he naturally cannot stay here for a long time. Rebuilding the sun empire is one thing, but he can only be a supporter.
Lin Jiu needs a successor to the Sun Empire after he leaves. We can see what happens to this bloodline successor later.
Taliyah helped the woman in front of her take off her armor and cleaned her body as much as possible. Except for the almost fatal wound, the woman's body was like a map of scars. This was the result of a lifetime of fighting.
In exchange, and almost always in the front.
This woman's head was picked up from the desert. Taliyah pushed aside the hot black hair between the woman's brows and looked at her face carefully, wondering how she could be so seriously injured and still half-buried on the edge of the Dashai Desert.
In the sand dunes. She is very beautiful, but also has
She has a hard edge, and even coma cannot soften her completely. Her skin color is light brown dyed by the sun, typical of Shurima locals, and when her eyelids occasionally flutter open and close,
Taliyah saw that her eyes were translucent sky blue.
Taliyah suddenly heard a muffled explosion from the west, and then a sound she could definitely hear: rocks rolling and rubbing against each other. She walked to the window and looked around. At first she thought it was an earthquake, but soon she felt
It was like a landslide. Considering the condition of most of the buildings in Vicoula, it wouldn't be that surprising if it was the sound of a house collapsing.
"Wheel mother." Lin Jiu also probably knew who the inheritor of the royal bloodline was, the goddess of war Sivir, a mercenary in the Shurima desert.
Then he probably knows what period it is now. Not long after Azir returned from the void, Xerath and the crocodile also escaped. Xerath, who saw the light of day again, learned about Azir's successful ascension, and naturally had trouble sleeping and eating.
On the one hand, they are thinking about how to eradicate Azir, and on the other hand, they are planning to exterminate Azir's descendants, namely Sivir.
The perceived royal bloodline is Sivir, which is a good thing. Lin Jiukou knew that what he was doing was not to recreate the glory of the Shurima Empire, but to rebuild a brand new empire that still worshiped the sun and was still located in the desert.
, but it will no longer be the Shurima Empire.
Sivir, the princess who has never enjoyed the benefits of Shurima's royal status for a day, has no feelings for Shurima. She only fights for herself. She is simply the best successor in this derivative world after Lin Jiu left.
Lin Jiu's identity as the son of the sun + the bloodline of Princess Sivir, the combination of the Sun Empire created by this combination will not work even if Azir returns. Lin Jiu does not have to worry about Azir, a yellow chicken, stealing the fruits of the revolution after he leaves.
After confirming the approximate time, Lin Jiu looked at the group of bandits who began to attack the city, and he was afraid that these guys were not the pawns of Xerath to lure him into temptation.
