Lux's Farewell

661 Endless torture

Words have a very magical power.

For Karya, it has almost become his instinct to use words to interfere with the enemy during the battle.

Provocation before the battle makes the enemy lose their minds, talking nonsense during the battle disrupts the enemy's fighting rhythm, and killing people after the battle to expand the results of the battle are all Karya's forte.

But facing Xerath this time, Kalya's words really came out of emotion, to be honest.

He is really envious of Xerath's ability to master part of the power of world runes. If the Shurima Empire also had this technology and mastered this power, then he would not have to be trapped in a resource trap, and all I put all my energy into the cultivation of various rune trees, and as a result, I relaxed my focus on the Icacia separatist forces...

However, after Xerath obtained this power, he used it for the formal restoration of the country and the resurrection of Azir. This undoubtedly made Kalya feel quite a pity, so he said this "what is forgiveness?" Rima's words.

This passage is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to Xerath - when a person who is committed to restoring Shurima is about to lose the support of restoring the country after losing the battle, and is completely denied by the creator of Shurima In reality, it is easy to be overwhelmed.

Xerath's frustration didn't last long, though.

Although the reason for revival of Shurima was criticized by Kalya, there is another reason why he worked so hard.

Xerath finally spoke, after Kalya had almost taken full control of the rules of the Warp.

"So, do you know what the meaning of this power is?"

The meaning of power?
"what is it then?"

"Come with me." Xerath looked at Karya, and finally opened a hidden passage, "Go, come with me to meet Azir."

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

In this space hidden by Xerath, Kalya finally saw Azir's coffin.

That's right, Azir was being placed in a gorgeous coffin at this time, and this huge coffin became more and more familiar to Kalya the more he looked at it.

"Where did you find it?" He went around the coffin twice, and after confirming that it was the one he knew, he finally asked Xerath with a delicate expression, "If I'm not mistaken... it Probably should lie in my grave."

That's right, this large coffin was actually prepared by Kalya for herself.

For Kalya, the Battle of Icathia should have been his farewell performance. Kalya, who was determined to die, was ready to end everything, but after the battle, Shurima still needed him to maintain the situation. He just gave up sealing himself in this special coffin, but dragged the body of the Darkborn, and continued to barely maintain the superficial peace of the empire until his rationality could no longer persist.

The exquisite coffin in front of him was exactly what Kalya had prepared for him. There were a lot of complicated sealing spells on it. As long as he lay in it, he would be able to stop thinking and end everything in a short time.

But now, Karya discovered that the coffin he had prepared for himself had actually become the coffin for Azir, which undoubtedly surprised him.

"Azir found it." Xerath's tone was somewhat ironic, "Also, he was also the one who started researching the resurrection spell."

"?"

Karya really didn't expect it.

"Using the bloodline as a guide to resurrect the ancestors, this is what Azir has been working hard on." Xerath looked at Kalya calmly with arcane eyes, and seemed to be very much looking forward to his reaction, "He spent It took a long time to find the records about your tomb from the scattered feathers, and it took a lot of effort to find this coffin—and you were not in it."

Carya didn't know what to say for a while.

"Azir really wants to revive you." Seemingly satisfied with Kalya's state, Xerath's tone finally became a little more happy, "He thinks my vision is not broad enough, and Nasus is too conservative , think that Renekton is very reckless, if he wants to revive Shurima, he needs a reliable think tank."

"He wants to resurrect his ancestors to be his staff?" Kalya finally couldn't help shaking his head and said, "This is really outrageous."

"To be exact, it's not only you." Xerath corrected very seriously, "It also includes Weaver Mother, including Lord Valiva, and many other fallen or missing Ascendants—since we want to revive Shurima , is there a more direct method than resurrecting these people?"

Karya was dumbfounded.

Even if he is as well-informed as he is, after listening to Xerath's talk about Azir's "Shurima Restoration Plan", his brain still froze somewhat.

You said that this plan is impossible, if he can really resurrect these people and get these people out of the void infection problem, Shurima is really very likely to be revived.

You say that this plan is very possible, but the question is, what is the basis for the resurrection, and what can be used to break the boundaries between life and death, ephemerality and eternity?

Brainstorming is no longer enough to describe Azir's plan!

"At that time, the empire's talents were withered, and the land area shrank again and again. The problem of the share of the sun disc that once plagued the empire was no longer an obstacle." Xerath continued, "Even if we reshape the body for everyone, the empire Can bear it too."

"Then, he chose to ascend himself first?"

"It's also for me to be promoted." Xerath was silent for a moment, and finally gave the answer, "The situation in the empire is difficult, and there is nothing but the royal family. Azir has always wanted to free the slaves, but his health is also not good. He didn't take the holiday, so he took the risk."

Carya was silent.

He didn't fully know what the Shurima Empire looked like in Azir's era.

But he knows better than anyone what it feels like to not have a holiday.

After a while, Karya finally changed the subject.

"So why did he lie in there?"

"Because he can't die." Xerath gave a cruel answer, "The ascension ceremony failed, but not completely failed. Azir failed to obtain his Ascended body, but his soul has already been obtained." immortal……"

Xerath didn't continue, but Karya understood why.

Just as Kalya thought when he decided to make this coffin—with his body gone, but his soul still in an immortal state, he was doomed not to be able to usher in real death, nor could he rest in complete peace.

That's why Karya made this coffin and prepared countless sealing spells in it, hoping that after lying in it, he could stop thinking and gain eternal peace.

Even if you can't rest in peace, at least you don't have to fall into endless torture.

And although Azir was not infected by the void, his state was quite similar to Kalya's - his soul was immortal and his body was broken.

"Why didn't he choose the elemental body?" After thinking for a moment, Carya continued to ask, "He was not infected by the void, and his consciousness is still clear. In this case, the elemental body should be enough to support him to move freely."

"But an elemental life won't be supported by the people of Shurima." Xerath shook his head, "especially when this elemental life just destroyed the city of Shurima."

Karya narrowed her eyes.

"Also, Azir is not good at magic." Xerath continued to add, "For him, it is too difficult to shape the body of the elements, and he may be distracted at any time."

Karya nodded.

"Stupid child." Sighing softly, Kalya stretched out her hand and gently stroked the coffin in front of her. "It seems that his character seems a little too anxious...he really resembles her."

"Impatience and mistakes." Xerath snorted, his tone seemed dissatisfied, "If he hadn't insisted, perhaps the name here would no longer be Nan Shurima."

"Well said, but you are still trying to inherit everything in Shurima." Kalya saw through Xerath's words, "Don't push everything to the silent ones, maybe Azir insists on restoring Shurima Ma, compared to him, you are willing to look forward—but Mr. Xerath, who is looking forward, is still reluctant to part with Shurima's glorious past."

"..."

Kalya's words choked Xerath.

Then, just as Xerath was still scratching his head to defend himself and trying to say something, a long stream of yellow sand poured out of Kalya's hands, wrapping the coffin after a while.

The next moment, the space rippled, and the coffin disappeared in front of Xerath.

"You are this?"

"I still have a way to maintain the stability of my soul." Kalya put on her own mask, and the crude facial features on the mask put together a reluctant smile, "I will take care of this matter—the next words , we're going to talk about your problem."

"I'm fine." Xerath snorted. "I feel fine."

"If you feel good, you won't fail outside Shurima." Kalya shook his head, "The power of world runes is not used in this way, you are too impatient."

"So you want to deprive this power?" Xerath's attitude suddenly became subtle, and on his chest, the world rune beating like a heart lit up with a dangerous light, "Old guy, Do you know what you're talking about?"

"If we say this dangerous and uncontrollable power, its meaning is to revive Azir and Shurima." Kalya didn't care about the threat in Yzeroth's words, "Then I think you should give up temporarily Drop it, at least until you can control the power."

"Ridiculous." Xerath sneered, "Since you know about the battles outside Shurima, you should understand that there is no turning back on this road—there is always a price for power. A self-sealed place, this is already the best choice."

"Not the best."

"Then what is it?" Xerath asked back, "Could it be handed over to the Heliya bumpkin next to you?"

After speaking, Xerath looked at Ryze.

"I've heard of you, the young man who is running around collecting world runes. Your name is Ryze, right?"

Ryze blinked, he had no idea that Xerath would know him.

"Looks like Rune Wars scares you enough, doesn't it?" Xerath stared at Ryze, "So you want to hide all these powerful runes where people can't find them, right? ?”

Ryze defaults.

"But I still found them." Xerath sneered, "Thanks for not being born in the age of the empire, otherwise there would be one more Shurima joke [Ryze proposes to close the sun disc]."

"The sun disc can be controlled, but the world rune can't." Ruiz is very serious, "I have seen countless people, after getting the world rune, they become puppets of power, and even become outright monsters—— "

"But I have been exposed to them much earlier than you." Xerath interrupted Ryze impatiently, "Don't show your attitude when you face those mortals who don't understand what power is. The price, I have read this sentence in no fewer than two hundred books."

"As long as you get out of the suppression of the subspace, you will still lose control." Ryze seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Xerath's words, "It is not a force that you can control."

"You also said that after leaving the subspace." Xerath grasped the premise in Ryze's words, "As long as I stay here, you don't need to worry about the world runes."

"You won't stay here forever." Ryze said firmly, "Especially after Azir's coffin is put away."

Ryze was right, Xerath didn't bother to lie about this issue.

"As long as I don't meet a nosy dog ​​head, then I won't use that power."

"As long as you can't fully grasp it, no matter what kind of situation you encounter, you shouldn't use it." Ryze retorted without hesitation, "And as long as you are a little careless, this power will become an introduction to destroy Runeterra..."

"Don't think I'm the mortals you're used to..."

"In the face of uncontrollable forces, everyone is the same..."

"Uncontrollable forces have never been the same thing for everyone..."

"But for anyone, the world rune is an uncontrollable force, there is no doubt about it..."

Kalya stopped talking, but Xerath and Ryze quarreled with each other.

It's also interesting to say that usually, both Xerath and Ryze have the attitude of "there are definitely not many BBs who can do it" when it comes to world runes.

But in front of Karya, these two guys miraculously did not fight, but tried to prove their correctness with words.

What's interesting is that despite the heated debate, neither Xerath nor Ryze's goal is to convince the other party.

Their goal from the start was to convince Karya.

As long as Karya agrees with any of the views, the other party will completely lose the room to resist.

And Karya seemed to have planned all of this from the very beginning - when Ino finally realized the situation in front of him, he had pulled out a chair out of nowhere and sat lazily on the spot.

On the mask, between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a perfect arc of Huan Tongtong.

　The episode is in the second half of the night.
