Walking through the crowded roads of the Marrow Market, Thalia felt that everything was new.
Although calculating the distance, Thalia has already traveled thousands of miles away from home, but it is only today that she has truly seen the scenery of Shurima's "big city" - she arrived in Vicoula before, and she has not yet had a good look at it.
After wandering around, she encountered the kidnapping incident; and then she followed the footsteps of Xerath's thugs, chasing all the way to Shurima City. After a battle outside the city, she didn't even enter the city, so she followed Nasus.
Turned around and left.
It was not until she arrived at the Marrow Seal Market today that she saw for the first time a completely different scenery from her own Stone Mantle City.
Crowded streets, noisy crowds, one after another hawking sounds...
All of this is completely different from the orderliness of Stonemantle City.
For Thalia, all of this is so new - even if Nasus didn't know where the Marrow Black Market is, I'm afraid that the little gold in Thalia's pocket would only have to walk a hundred and eighty steps.
You will be completely deceived.
"Stay away from these merchants." Nasus once again stopped Thalia from taking out money, completely ignoring the salesman's eyes as if looking at the man who killed his father. "I said, this is not a good place.
Everything is a lie."
"You are slandering the reputation of the Marrow Market!" The merchant who was trying to sell a staff to Thalia jumped three feet high like a cat that had been stepped on. "I will call the overseer.
To kick you out, you bastard—"
"Since the decline of the empire, there have been no monitors in the Marrow Seal Market." Nasus' voice was neither happy nor sad. "The monitors are not something that profiteers like you join together and just give them a name."
"Bullshit!" After Nasus exposed the truth so directly, the businessman finally became a little angry and said, "Slandering the Marrow Seal Market... Supervisor! Supervisor!"
Soon, several people wearing bright yellow robes and wide-brimmed hats rushed over.
"It's this guy!" the businessman shouted angrily, "This guy is trying to disrupt the order of the market..."
Several supervisors nodded slightly, then formed a half-circle and surrounded Nasus.
Thalia, who had watched the whole process, only felt that she was shocked - when she asked Nasus before if he wanted to enter Shurima City, Nasus said "keep a low profile, there is no need".
Now I have met a profiteer, and it looks like he is going to fight?
As for that?
Several supervisors tried to catch Nasus and carry him out, but after they secured their target, they could not move Nasus even a step even if they tried their best.
Out of anger, someone simply grabbed Nasus' robe and yanked it hard.
Nasus remained motionless, but his robe could not withstand the pull and was torn directly.
Under the robe, the obsidian-like body made everyone pause.
This is completely different from ordinary people's skin...
Something seems wrong.
"Go on, 'Overseers'." The anger that Nasus had suppressed for many days finally burst out today, "I never knew that there are already overseers in Shurima today?
"
Thalia had no idea what ignited Nasus' anger. She could only watch blankly as he swung his cane and knocked all the guys in yellow robes away one by one - somewhat unaware.
Thalia, who was at a loss, thought for a moment, and finally she quietly made a handprint, lifted a few decorative stone slabs on the ground, and rescued these unlucky people.
Kalya, Ino and Shyvana also heard the sounds of fighting.
Then, the three people who turned around saw several trapeze artists.
Both Ino and Shyvana were very curious, but only Kalya focused on the stone slab that stood up quickly and quietly, firmly catching these trapeze artists.
"Let's go and take a look." Kalya adjusted the mask on his face, "It seems something happened over there."
……………………
When the three Kalya squeezed through the crowd and came to the front line of the crowd, Nasus showed off his ascended body without any scruples - although he did not change into the posture of an ascended person, when the sharp-edged obsidian
When their bodies were exposed in front of everyone, these guys who pretended to be supervisors still gave up their efforts to regain the situation and ran away with their tails between their legs.
"Mr. Nasus, you seem to be very angry." When Nasus picked up her robe, Thalia said strangely, "Is there anything special about the Overseer...?"
"That is the only organization in the empire that can check and balance the ascended ones." Before Nasus could speak, a masked man walked out of the crowd. "To become an overseer, you need flawless qualities. These and
The use of this name by scum colluded with businessmen is the greatest blasphemy against those predecessors."
"Who are you?" Thalia opened her eyes in surprise and looked at the masked stranger in confusion, "Do I know you?"
"Of course you don't know me." Kalya shook his head gently, "But maybe I know who you are."
"Do you know me?" Thalia stretched out her index finger and pointed at herself strangely, "Why do so many people seem to know who I am?"
"You are the descendant of Azhi." Kalya ignored Thalia's doubts, "I just don't know what you call her? Weaver? Weaver? Or Weaver Mother?"
"Do you know Weaver Mother?" Thalia was a little happy, "Obviously the elders said that few people would know Weaver Mother's name..."
Then, just when Thalia was about to clap her hands, beside her, Nasus looked ready.
"Who are you?" Nasus's muscles all tensed up. "Where did your mask come from?"
"Me? I am me." Kalya chuckled, and under the astonished gazes of Ino and Sivana, he took off the mask on his face for the first time, "It's me, Kalya."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although there is no distinction between colors, when Ino and Shyvana looked at this face, one person and one dragon only felt an incredible feeling.
absurd.
This is a face with a smile on its face, made purely of yellow sand.
There is no difference in color on the yellow face, which should be extremely monotonous.
But at first glance, it just makes people feel that everything is just right.
The bridge of the nose is straight and the lines are strong, but not aloof.
The eyes are gentle and the corners of the mouth are smiling, which really conveys the feeling of intimacy.
Even if you look closely, this appearance seems more like an Ionian?
The next moment, under everyone's astonished gaze, Nasus' body suddenly swelled, and with lightning speed, he lifted Kalya up and left the Marrow Seal Market in a meteoric stride.
After running for several miles, he put down Kalya and returned to his normal height. Then he lowered his head and knelt down on one knee, half-kneeling in front of Kalya.
"Your Majesty." Nasus' voice trembled slightly, and his emotions seemed extremely complicated, "You are back!"
"I am not your Majesty."
Kalya tried hard to pull Nasus up, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Nasus was unwilling to get up.
No matter what Kalya said, he always said "Your Majesty, Shurima needs you", as if Kalya did not make any promise, he would definitely not get up.
"Don't make it sound like I'm a scumbag who abandoned Shurima." The helpless Kalya could only shake his head gently, "Besides, I'm no longer a prince..."
"You are indeed no longer a prince." Nasus raised his head for the first time, "You should hurry up and ascend to the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, Kalya was shocked.
Although Nasus' Ascended form is indeed that of a jackal...
But this doesn’t mean you have to be a licker!
Lux wasn't even given the yellow robe, so why was she asked to ascend the throne first?
"Get up, Nasus." Kalya could only emphasize her tone, "Get up and speak!"
After saying this, Kalya also shut up, as if he would not speak if Nasus didn't get up.
The helpless Nasus could only stand up, but he still insisted on his opinion: "His Majesty Kalya should ascend the throne immediately to restore Shurima."
"What happened?" Kalya could only sigh helplessly, "You were not like this in the past, Nasus."
"I read a lot of books, traveled to a lot of places, and met a lot of people." Nasus' tone was a little subtle. "At the beginning, I hoped to find the descendants of the Eagle King and assist him in rebuilding Shurima."
Kalya nodded, expressing understanding.
Nasus has always had a good relationship with the royal family. In his impression, this guy is a proper royalist who cares very much about dignity.
Whether as a student or a subordinate, Nasus can always fulfill Kalja's orders well, but this is not because he agrees with Kalja's thoughts or has the same purpose as Kalja, but because in his eyes,
Kalya is the Prince Regent, and Kalja's orders are the orders of the Prince Regent.
It is precisely for this reason that Nasus has never been Kalya's "own one".
"However, after ten years of walking, I finally realized that the descendants of the royal family have long lost their original glory." Nasus continued, "His Majesty Azir has many descendants, and many of them bear the honor of the royal family.
Bloodline, but they have long lost their sense of responsibility as emperors, and I have gained nothing in the past ten years."
Kalya continued to nod.
This situation is also understandable. How many years have passed since Azir, and the bloodline of the royal family is now just an ordinary person. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the heir to the Shurima royal family who was once carefully cultivated.
"I almost fell into despair." Nasus continued, "Time buries everything like yellow sand. With the division and decline of the empire, many things that were once natural have become out of reach."
Kalya nodded slightly.
"I don't know what the future of Shurima is." Speaking of this, Nasus looked at Kalya again, "But I am familiar with history. Your Majesty, you shaped Shurima and shaped Shurima.
everything!"
Such enthusiastic words made Kalya couldn't help but frown.
"The prosperity of Shurima is not due to me alone." He couldn't help but shook his head, "You should know that among the many ascended ones, I am a very special one..."
"The emperor does not need to be strong." Nasus seemed to be a little too excited. "Moreover, if His Majesty does not ascend the throne, the arrogant people will support the dead... which will lead to the most terrible disaster!"
"Xerath is trying to resurrect Azir, right?"
"That's right." Nasus nodded, "The trespasser is trying to break the taboo of life and death, at the expense of hunting the living, to rebuild his bloodline and lead His Majesty Azir back."
"So, you want me to ascend the throne to end this farce?" Kalya finally understood Nasus's thinking, "I also know about this, and I am planning to stop him."
"Your Majesty, with all due respect." Nasus shook his head, "In your current state, Xerath cannot be stopped."
"What?" Kalya raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I heard that he was a traitor who stole the power of ascension. I know better than anyone what will happen to an incomplete ascension ceremony."
"No, that is just a lie by those arrogant people who claim to be regents." Nasus shook his head, "Xerath has indeed been recognized by His Majesty Azir and is a true ascendant."
This time Kalya was really surprised.
If this is the case, then why does the ascension ceremony still fail and Azir still dies?
So, as a witness to the event, Nasus briefly told Kalya what happened during the ceremony.
"Since Xerath has remained loyal." After hearing all this, Kalya finally nodded, "Then he really plans to resurrect Azir?"
"Yes." Nasus nodded, "But...his sanity is not clear. His current state seems to be closer to Bakai."
Bakai?
Since according to Nasus, Xerath is already an official Ascendant, why would he be closer to Bakai?
"Xerath used forbidden power." Seeing Kalya's doubts, Nasus explained helplessly, "I briefly fought with him outside Shurima City. At that time, he seemed to be
Using a power called world runes, even ascenders cannot fully control this power..."
After hearing this, Kalya was finally stunned.
The Ascended One manipulates the runes of the world... What kind of arcane wizard is Xerath?
What kind of weird development direction is this?
However, if an ascended person really has the power to use the world's runes, then I am afraid that all the plans that Kalya prepared before will be invalidated at this time...
Then, just when Kalya began to ask Nasus in detail about the battle process, on the sand dune not far away, a piece of pumice carrying three people rushed towards Kalya and Nasus.
"Mr. Nasus!" Thalia shouted on the pumice stone, "Misunderstanding, these are all misunderstandings!"
