He has the head of a hyena, his eyes are full of wisdom, and he is two meters tall. His limbs are not very developed, but they are full of infinite power. The person is wearing an ancient Shurima sacrificial robe, with seams on key joints.
Made of metal armor, it has the elegance and gentleness of a scholar and the solemnity of a warrior.
Archmaester of the ancient Shurima Empire, Director of the National Library of the Shurima Empire, the most respected general and scholar in the Ascension Group, strategist, military scientist, historian, well-known researcher of ancient magic and ruins
The author - Nasus, who holds the above title and is revered as the Desert Death God by the Shurima people, walked out of the temple's underground palace slightly tiredly with two books. He was about to take a rest in the temple, but what he saw was five
I was sitting on my favorite stone chair in front of the temple, eating and drinking.
Nasus opened his mouth wide, especially when he saw his favorite dog chair...well, it was another person sitting on the scholar's chair, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.
I have never eaten on the scholar’s chair! How dare these foreigners? How dare they?
There is no doubt that this is a blasphemy against knowledge!
So, Nasus turned around silently, preparing to go back to the underground palace first to take the ax stick he used to burn books and bruise people in his hand - mainly because without the ax stick, Nasus was not sure whether he could use it.
Several uninvited guests drove out of the temple.
If you can't beat him, it will be a joke.
"Brother Doghead, you are finally back."
Lester, who noticed the return of his master, was overjoyed. He stood up from the most comfortable chair in the temple and walked over to Nasus, who was as tall as himself. He handed over a piece of unopened Imperial Garlic Ham in a familiar manner.
Nasus watched blankly as the man in front of him stuffed the fragrant sausage into his hands. He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
How audacious! It’s just that he is really a dog-head, but he dares to call himself a dog-head? But it smells so good...
You are obviously respected as the ‘Desert God of Death’, okay? By the way, what does this sausage taste like?
This is unreasonable! You should use an ax and stick to tell this foreigner whether he is a dog-head or not! Damn it, why do you always look at the twisted meat sausage unconsciously?
"How do you like it? This is a special delicacy that is popular all over the world. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat anything too delicious in a remote place like Weikaola. If you like it, I can send you more delicious delicacies in the future."
Lester used the gentlest attitude to comfort the somewhat troubled Nasus.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm."
"I'm not afraid."
As if he didn't want to make these foreigners feel weak, Nasus, holding the ham sausage in his hand, finally spoke, his voice was low, like a messenger who controlled the underworld, and his expression was arrogant and cold.
"I know, come on, try it. Is this specially prepared for you?"
"Stranger, shut up, why do I have to eat your sausage?"
These words were somewhat ambiguous. Sindra and Camille covered their mouths and turned around to twitch secretly. Only Samira scratched the back of her head in confusion, wondering what the two of them were laughing at.
Apparently the innocent girl still doesn't understand the deliciousness of ham.
Lester, whose mouth was also twitching unconsciously, could only ignore this embarrassing statement. The man took a deep breath and his expression became serious.
"Because I can restore the Shurima Empire."
Nasus: "..."
Staring at the silent Nasus, Lester continued.
"Escape is meaningless. Look at Shurima now. Do you really have no idea in your heart?"
"..."
"If you didn't have the slightest idea, why would you choose to hide here? Dedicated to searching for ancient documents and knowledge books?
Isn't it because you can't face the Shurima Empire that fell apart in an instant? You can't imagine what the younger brother who was sealed with Xerath in the emperor's tomb has become like now.
You are so scared that you dare not take a look with your own eyes at the imperial capital of the past and the chaotic ruins of today.
That’s why I took refuge here and indulged in collecting books and organizing knowledge all day long.
You want to use this method to numb yourself, but you don’t want to admit that you are still dreaming about the day when Shurima will be revived. You only dare to remember the past in your dreams, and you only dare to pass on your knowledge and library in your dreams... When
Your Imperial Scholar."
"Who...are you? Why do you know so many things?"
"Eat first, talk later."
Taking a breath, Nasus looked at Lester seriously, but he didn't know that two lines of clear saliva had already flowed from the corners of his solemn mouth.
"Since you insist on letting me taste your sausage, I guess your sausage has some merits..."
Two women snickered from behind, and Samira was stunned. She didn't expect that the legendary messenger of Hades would look like this.
Lester, on the other hand, is numb. Damn it, can’t he get over the sausage hurdle or something? You’re not a big beauty? Why are you always thinking about that thing?
"Brother Doghead, can we stop talking about sausages and call this thing ham, which is more elegant? I'm afraid you won't be able to pronounce it if you talk too much, and my biological father will have to modify it by then."
Nasus retorted unhappily.
"Meat sausage is meat sausage. What's not elegant about it? It's the ham you're talking about. This isn't the leg of a fire elemental elf? Why do you call it ham?"
It has to be said that Nasus is also stubborn enough, even though his penis is all over the floor, he still insists on explaining the name of ham to Lester.
"Okay, you win, eat it quickly and see how much water you have shed..."
To be honest, Lester didn't expect Ham to be so lethal to Nasus. He had already begun to consider whether to make a durable ball of different colors for Nasus - how about trying a Frisbee?
Gravely holding the sausage with his right hand, Nasus slowly opened his mouth and bit into one end of the sausage.
He closed his teeth and grinded, grinding the tender meat wrapped in the casing together with part of the bursting gravy and tendons. The tantalizing aroma immediately rippled out, and the pure meaty aroma swept deep into his mouth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His brain was shocked by the smell of mutated meat. At this moment, Nasus could no longer tell where the smell came from. He could only continue to smash his mouth and lick it.
With empty fingertips,
Even the palace chefs of the Shurima Empire couldn't make such wonderful and delicious meat sausages. The intestines were cut off, and the aftertaste was endless. Suddenly, I almost bit my finger.
Shame! So shameful!
At this moment, Nasus wanted to stop his greedy thoughts by shouting rationally, but his body involuntarily controlled his lips and asked.
"Here, what kind of divine thing is this sausage? Why is it so delicious? Is there anything else?"
"This is a special delicacy of the Noxus Empire. Well, I think you should be able to use this. There are still a few more, so don't worry."
Nasus stared blankly at the handkerchief handed to him by the man, then quietly wiped the wet corners of his mouth and coughed twice.
"Ahem, sausage owner, can you tell me your origin now? Who are you? Why do you know so many secrets?"
Lester sat back on the chair with a dark face, and tied the bag with the sausage...er, ham tightly. Camille, who had received professional training, stopped her smile in time, rubbed her face, and introduced seriously.
"Dog... Lord Nasus, this is the Holy Emperor of the Noxus Empire, His Majesty Leicester."
"The Emperor of the Noxus Empire? Are you the Emperor of the Northern Continent Empire?"
Nasus was doubtful, and Lester said coldly.
"We've all finished the ham, and there's not even one left. The one just now was just fed to the dog."
"Ahem... I think only the Holy Emperor can know so many secrets. So, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, why did you come to me? And how can we restore the Shurima Empire?"
"Before discussing how to restore the country, Lord Nasus, we should first discuss the position of the Shurima Empire after its restoration. After all, our Noxus Empire is not a charity, and we cannot help Shurima without any conditions.
Empire restored.”
"Even if you say that, it will have no effect on me. As you said, I am just a wandering soul who should have died long ago. The only thing I can do is to keep the buried past in books."
Nasus took a few steps forward, and the discerning Samira quickly made room for Nasus. Nasus nodded gratefully to Samira, sat down, and looked at Lester.
"If the Noxus Empire is able to help Shurima regain order, then the new country should be ruled by the Empire. I have no objection and will not go against the Empire."
"But the empire does not have that much time to conquer the continent of Shurima."
Lester said solemnly.
"The war that can destroy the world is about to begin. The enemies of the empire are far more powerful than imagined.
If the continent of Shurima does not have a strong and powerful political power, then all Shurima people will eventually become slaves of the Destroyer and become part of the destruction of the world."
"Then Your Majesty Leicester, what do you want?"
"I want the Shurima Empire to become a slave state of the Noxus Empire and join the Noxus Empire's camp as a slave state. Before I tell you the specific method, I need to determine your position.
"
Lester's gaze was extremely oppressive. This gaze reminded Nasus of Azir, the last emperor—even Azir, who conquered east and west, fought south and north, and used his physical imperial power to suppress the group of Ascended Ones.
None of them have such a terrifying momentum.
Nasus looked at Syndra and Camille again. He knew that he might not be able to do anything good if they were called to his door this time.
I didn't even have my ax or stick in my hand, I was careless.
Taking a deep breath, Nasus said in a deep voice.
"I will remain neutral. As a scholar, I will not participate in any power struggle, whether it is a puppet state controlled by the empire or other foreign colonists. I will remain neutral.
I don't care who rules Shurima, the only thing I care about is how to pass on Shurima's past..."
"You know that's not what I want, Lord Nasus. I want you to stand in the camp of the Noxus Empire."
Lester interrupted Nasus coldly.
Nasus: "..."
"You can help Shurima regain its kingdom, you can pass on your knowledge, you can do whatever you want, but as long as there is my order, as long as my order is given, you must put everything down, and you must obey the order.
, must become a part of the empire, must do things for the empire.”
"What if...I refuse?"
"Then you will die here and be destroyed along with Vicora,
I know your abilities, so I will not allow people like you to become my enemy. Your ability to mobilize the army and direct the battle is far better than your Ascended power.
You should know very well that even from the standpoint of the ancient Shurima Empire, the emperor of the Shurima Empire would not allow such a talent to appear in the enemy country when he has an absolute advantage, even if the talent chooses to remain neutral.
"
"So, you want me to revive a country, merge it into the Noxus Empire at a critical moment, and let you unify the Shurima continent?"
"good."
The condescending Lester did not show arrogance, but showed absolute arrogance in every aspect. Nasus could see that this arrogance was based on strength and was not the ravings of a fool.
Just as he expected, this young man showed the absolute domineering nature of the emperor in his words.
"The Noxus Empire will eventually rule the entire Runeterra. What I want to do is greater than what the previous Shuriman emperors you assisted have done. My goal is far above the stars, even better than Shurima."
The thousand-year achievements of the empire,
In the eyes of the Shurima Empire, the source of the power of the Ascended is the most worthy of respecting the gods. But you don’t know that the gods that are unattainable in your eyes are my enemies that I despise.
Because of this, I need talented people like you to assist me,
If you cannot accept a better emperor to dominate this world, it only means that you are destined to be my enemy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Please understand that I must kill good enemies in advance to prevent them from growing up and blocking my footsteps. If you die here, thousands of people will survive in the future.
.”
Leicester is able to understand this truth thanks to Brown Darkwill. Due to the old relationship with the Darkwill family, he did not completely eradicate the Brown family. Now it has finally led to a bitter fruit, causing Brown to
Kwill cooperated with the Star Boundary to become the empire's number one enemy, and even the Dalmo Plain became dangerous.
If the northern border lord was not sealed, it might not be that easy for the Protoss to infiltrate Valoran.
Sometimes, being soft-hearted will hurt more innocent people. Now that you have embarked on the road of conquest, you can only go all the way with a hard-hearted heart.
Seeing that Nasus lowered his head and said nothing, Lester asked one last question.
"Now, tell me your answer, Lord Nasus, do you choose to be my friend or my enemy?"
"do you know?"
"what do you know?"
Nasus raised his head, his eyes flashing with a light that even Lester couldn't see clearly.
"Azir wanted to overthrow slavery and had been planning for more than thirty years, but it was ruined because of the betrayal of his best friend Xerath.
What's ridiculous is that the entire Shurima Empire was destroyed just because Azir didn't tell Xerath in advance, "I've been working hard to overthrow slavery, give me some time."
You know, it was Xerath who single-handedly helped Azir ascend to the throne, and he also used all means to help Azir secure his position, but there is a little bit of trust between them."
"so what?"
"So, I'm very glad, no, I'm honored that His Majesty Leicester can open the sky and speak clearly and tell me your ambitions. From this point of view, you are more worthy of loyalty than Azir."
Nasus placed the book lightly on the stone table, stood up, knelt on one knee again, bowed his head and said.
"If you can let me see the world above the stars, Nasus is willing to spend the rest of his life to prove his loyalty."
Standing up with a serious expression, Lester walked to Nasus in a few steps and helped Nasus up.
"Nasus, I am not Azir, and you are not Xerath. Above the throne, we are kings and ministers, and below the throne, we are close friends.
After the disaster, let's go see the world above the stars together.
Now, let us stand on the earth and tear apart this useless and dying star above our heads."
