Lux's Farewell

Chapter 348 [0344] Shurima in the post-imperial era

Karya revealed the name of the first pope of the Sun God Cult. Not only was the boss who was trying to preach the word quite surprised, but even Lacus, who was used to repeating the machine and subconsciously repeated Karya's words, was stunned.

While perfunctoring the surprised boss with the words "I've heard of her name", Lux kept asking Kalya about this Varieva in her heart-you don't know what to do. You know, but you still say you are not omniscient?

"Who is Valieva?"

"Are you familiar with her?"

"How do you know that she is the first Pope of the Sun God Sect?"

"Didn't you say that you don't understand the Sun God Sect?"

Facing Lacus's barrage of questions, Kalya just laughed at first, and after laughing enough, he answered them one by one at a leisurely pace.

"Wali Eva is one of my students, I naturally know her—I have personally brought that cunning little bastard for almost 20 years, and I am very familiar with her."

"As for why I know she is the first Pope of the Sun God Sect... I can guess!"

"I don't know much about the Sun God Cult, but the words [Gods serve people] really impressed me. Except for that crazy girl Valieva, I am afraid that no one in Runeterra would dare to say this openly and carelessly. That's it."

"However, I didn't expect that she not only wrote this sentence into the teachings of the Sun God Sect, but also covered it with the skin of giant god belief, preaching... Hahahaha, don't say it, this is really The little bastard's style!"

"You don't know, since she was a child, she has been able to pull a big banner into a tiger's skin. She has caught a pretext for something, and her ability to make use of it is amazing... I never thought that this guy could use this trick on giant gods , hahaha, not bad, not bad, pretty good job!"

Kalya's attitude of admiration was beyond words, which made Lacus completely confused. Kalya did answer all her questions perfectly, but after getting the answer, Lacus felt that there were more question marks on her head.

"This kind of thing won't be clear for a while." Sensing Lacus' doubts, Kalya finally suppressed her laughter and continued, "Let's go, find a hotel to stay, and I'll be with you slowly. Say."

Relieved, Lacus finally found an excuse to bid farewell to the enthusiastic boss who wanted to preach to her, and together with Ino, she led Scarash away from the cattle market.

After crossing two streets, the two chose a hotel that seemed to be in good condition, checked in smoothly, and finally settled down.

After entering the room, Lacus immediately grabbed her saber.

"What the hell is going on, Kalya?" Although Kalya is used to reservations when she says things, this situation still makes her full of doubts, "You mean, the first teacher of the Sun God Sect Zong, is that your student? Is that Valieva still an Ascendant?"

"That's right!" Carya said happily, "At least when I fell into hibernation, she was still alive and kicking, so theoretically she should be alive and well now-although I don't know exactly why she would create such an interesting I don’t know where she is or if she’s alive, but from my point of view, I still feel that she… did a good job.”

"Then shall we meet her?" Lux blinked her eyes, "go to the Sun God Cult to inquire, and then meet my... senior sister?"

"Well, there's no need to worry." Kalya looked like he had planned, "The news of rebuilding Vazuan and leaving the regent Jin Yu will spread throughout Shurima sooner or later. If she is willing to see me, then in After seeing everything in Zaun, she will naturally understand what I mean-for you, the most important thing right now is to climb Mount Targon."

"That's it." Lux nodded, "Then what's our next step?"

"Go ahead, go to Nashilami to change the mount, and then continue all the way west!"

........................

As Karya said, he took the initiative to expose the golden feather of the Prince Regent in Vazuan, which is already an attitude in itself.

After the Icathian War, although the infected Karya insisted on presiding over the work for a period of time, he soon fell into a deep sleep, so for him, from the Icathian War to the Rune War, the middle Thousands of years of history are an unknown void.

Kalya didn't know where her students had gone or what they were doing, but from the description of the few words about the dark-born war, she learned that a war broke out among the dark-born who were infected by the void, and Parting ways.

Beyond that, he knew next to nothing about that history.

Although both the surviving Ascendants and the infected Darkborn are former students of Kalya, at least at this moment, Kalya is not ready to face them again—more importantly, the current Lacus has just passed the threshold of transcendence, and she is not yet qualified to have an equal dialogue with her senior brothers and sisters.

Therefore, after Kalya simply left a message of "I'm still there", she and Lacus plunged into the yellow sand of the desert.

After saying hello, Kalya took Lux to stealth decisively.

He is better at hiding in the shadows than standing on the bright side.

However, Karya obviously did not expect that the first person to receive his signal was not the few Ascenders or Darkborn who had had the closest relationship with him, but a person who was not very close to Karya because of his relatively young age. Close to a "little guy".

No. 18 days after Vazuan announced the reconstruction, in a small town not far from Vikola, a traveler in a cloak and a hood who completely hid himself in the shadows was resting At that time, I heard the news from the discussion of travelers at the roadside tea stall.

"The Regent's Golden Feather?" He ordered a bowl of the cheapest large bowl of herbal tea, sat down and put his cane across his lap, "Is it Teacher Kalya's relic... who disturbed the teacher's rest?" ?”

While thinking about it, the clerk at the tea stand put a bowl of tea that was not much different from clear water in front of him, and he didn't pick it up. After picking up the tea bowl, he just raised his head slightly and took a sip of the tea in it. And do.

The guy who just poured the tea turned his head and saw that the tea bowl was empty, and he couldn't help showing a suspicious expression on his face.

This guy shouldn't be pouring the tea, right?
Thinking about this, he subconsciously looked at the traveler's feet.

The ground was dry, without a trace of water stains. It seemed that this guy had indeed drank a huge bowl of tea in one breath just now.

"Put more tea next time." The traveler seemed to have sensed the man's thoughts, and while handing the tea bowl back to the man, he said in a low voice, "The tea powder produced by Shelun is not expensive, so put two more tea leaves. Quench your thirst even more."

As he spoke, he pressed a copper coin on the table, picked up his cane, and stood up.

The guy subconsciously wanted to explain, "We put a lot of tea in our house", but seeing that the other party stood up and was more than a head taller than himself... The explanation was finally swallowed by him, and all he had to do was nod hurriedly. .

The other party gave the guy a sideways look, as if the expressionless eyes made the guy shiver uncontrollably, and he was a little dazed.

When the guy finally recovered, an invisible layer of cold sweat covered his back.

........................

After a little lesson for the guy who cut corners, Nasus started his journey again, leaning on the scepter.

His target is Vikola.

The reason for going to Vikola is also very simple. Recently, a "descendant of the Eagle King" appeared there.

Since the end of the Rune Wars and the end of the large-scale war in Runeterra, Nasus has temporarily bid farewell to the Great Library and walked actively in the world-the craziest darkin have self-destructed in the darkin war, and Some sane darkspawn either sealed themselves or hid from the world. Those influential figures in the Shurima Empire seemed to bid farewell to the stage of history.

Under such circumstances, Nasus finally has the time and energy to find the descendants of the Eagle King and start rebuilding Shurima.

As a witness and witness of the fall of Shurima, Nasus has a slightly different concept from other Ascended - in Nasus' view, although Azir and Xerath are directly responsible for the fall of the empire , but there is actually nothing wrong with Azir's thinking itself.

A powerful Ascended Emperor is necessary to restore Shurima to its former glory.

Although he is only a junior among the Ascended, Nasus has at least experienced the most prosperous era of the Shurima Empire before the Icathian War. To him, that is what Shurima should be like.

Among the many ascenders, Nasus is undoubtedly a very special one. He ascended in the most prosperous time of Shurima, and personally witnessed several catastrophes and the final fall of the empire. The rise and fall of China has produced its own unique understanding.

After the Battle of Icathia, with the disappearance of the Prince Regent, Shurima, which was originally united, had various ideological trends. Without Setaka and Karya who could convince the crowd, the Ascender and the Darkin Dissatisfaction with each other brought the Shurima Empire almost to the brink of splitting.

The endless quarrels and endless wrangling, all of which were seen by Nasus. Facing a group of veteran Ascendants, he was not very able to speak. I soon realized something.

Only a strong leader can lead the revival of Shurima!
In the end, when they couldn't reach an agreement, the Ascendant and the Darkin finally broke up.

The Darkborn, headed by Aatrox, chose to stay away from the empire, satisfying their desire to kill in the endless war of expanding the territory. Their departure also took away the most elite troops of the empire.

Not fighting in their homeland is the last kindness of these darkborn. After leaving Shurima, their footprints have covered almost every land except the Freljord. In the end, the human form and humanity almost completely faded away in the war, and they fell into the most terrible madness, until a darkin war swept across Runeterra.

The mage group and scholars headed by Ne'Zuk chose to flee far away to continue Tal, using elemental magic to hide their traces, and unilaterally severed the connection with the Shurima Empire.

Although nominally the Kingdom of Xutar was still part of the Shurima Empire, since then, orders from Shurima City can no longer be transmitted to the depths of the rainforest. Next, Exutar achieved a de facto division, and the Shurima Empire also lost its most important granary.

The infrastructure faction headed by the Great Weaver Mother also chose to bid farewell to the center of the empire, left the city of Shurima, and took the initiative to stay away from all political disturbances under exhaustion.

They tried their best to maintain the glorious heritage of the Shurima Empire, dredged the waterways, maintained the oasis, and wanted to preserve everything left by the Shurima Empire's transformation of the desert. Unfortunately, with the successive blows of the Darkin War and the destruction of the empire, A large number of oases have become water without a source, even though these people are still running around, but in the end there is no strong country to support them, and the result is that they are powerless after all.

The reconstruction faction headed by Varieva believes that the Shurima Empire must be rebuilt from the bottom up.

When they fought for nothing, they left the sentence "The Shurima Empire is dying, and it is only a matter of time before it is rebuilt." Then, like a prophet who sees through everything, they left the Shurima Empire proudly , and finally disappeared.

As for the rest, including Nasus and Renekton, some Ascended who were relatively close to the royal family chose to stay in Shurima City, trying to revive Shurima through reform.

However, with the loss of a powerful army, no mage corps, professional craftsmen leaving, and the grassroots starting to lose control, the Shurima Empire wants to rely on reforms to revive...how can it be so easy?
Under such circumstances, the Shurima emperor at that time simply gritted his teeth, put the reverse gear directly, and started the reverse of history.

After he ascended the throne, his first order was to "restore slavery in fact, and clearly stipulate the number and qualifications of slaves according to the difference in social status."

This order, which was enough to bring Setaka back to life, was warmly welcomed by the governors of many cities-what is everyone working so hard to serve the empire?

When the Shurima Empire was prosperous, it can be said that it was to become an ascendant, to leave a name in history, and to be commemorated by future generations.

But now... times have changed.

Empress Feisheng and Prince Regent are gone, and those who really have ideals have left the empire long ago!
Now His Majesty the Emperor speaks in person, opening the gap in slavery, and the governors and lords from all over the country naturally welcome them with both hands and feet.

All of a sudden, the Shurima high-level people who were panicked all of a sudden rallied closely to the emperor's side.

And through this act of reversing history, the Shurima Empire, which was already on the verge of collapse, finally regained some strength. Under the auspices of Nasus, it began to use reforms to carry out self-reform, trying to find a great once again. Chance.

Until Azir, which almost made it.

　Kalya's Little Classroom The Rise and Fall of the Shurima Empire:

　　The Shurima Empire, developed from a small tribe at the beginning, ushered in great development after Setaka climbed Mount Targon and became an Ascendant, and formed a powerful empire along the way.

　　Until Icacia, the void invaded, the Shurima Empire's ascended military queen and regent prince disappeared, the empire fell into a split, and each faction refused to accept each other. Since everyone has no ability, they will go their own way.

　　Since then, although the name of the Shurima Empire is still there, it is no longer the same as it was in its heyday.

　　Therefore, the emperor of Shurima and the royalists among the Ascended at that time chose to turn back the wheel of history and stabilize the rule of the empire by restoring slavery first, and let the Shurima Empire be the emperor when Azir was the emperor. Backlighting is achieved.

　　Then, Xerath betrayed Azir, the last emperor of Shurima fell in the ascension ceremony, and the Shurima Empire was completely destroyed. The darkin who had gone out to conquer no longer had any scruples, and turned their guns one after another. The darkin war broke out .

　　After the darkin war subsided, Shurima finally lost its vitality, and it was no longer prosperous as before.

　　PS. Today is still a chapter, briefly talking about Shurima after Karya fell asleep-of course, this is just a brief talk, involving various forces after the division of the empire, and there are many other contents.

　　PSS. Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month.
