Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 145 The Legend of the Darkborn
Azir reproduced the scene that happened that year, and determined that the murderer who caused his ascension failure turned out to be Xerath, whom he trusted the most.

As the first ray of dawn shone on Azir's golden eagle armor, he quickly calmed down, and then jumped from the platform of ascension.

The sweeping Huang Sha supported his godly body and slowed down his falling speed.

More than ten seconds later, Azir landed gently in front of Li Lin, Kassadin and Sivir.

His golden-yellow magical flame eyes first looked at Sivir, then stopped briefly on Kassadin, and finally focused on Li Lin, whom they were faintly leading.

Li Lin's throat twitched unconsciously, and he swallowed.

Under the gaze of a demigod-like god warrior, it would be a lie to say that there is no pressure.

"A very exquisite armor that allows an ordinary person to exert extraordinary strength."

Azir's tone was slightly emotional, "You made these, right? You remind me of an Ixtar god warrior who is also good at technology..."

Hearing what he said, Li Lin immediately thought of a name—the tyrant Nazuk.

He is the great elemental mage of Ixtar.

After obtaining the qualification for ascension and becoming an ascendant, Nezuk has done a lot of research in the field of magic technology.

Among them, he presided over the design of many sophisticated mechanisms in the tombs of emperors.

During the void war period, he developed a living boulder that could accommodate tens of thousands of great mages and other god warriors of Ixtar, a giant floating fortress of war—monolith.

It was the size of a city, drifting slowly from Ixtar to Icacia, raining down thunder and lightning like divine punishment.

Under the leadership of Ne'Zuk, Monolith fought the void monsters of Icathia for several weeks. Countless elemental artillery blew up the mountains and plowed several layers of the earth's surface. The destructive sorcery and elemental magic were enough to wipe out A civilization that turns a continent into a distant memory.

However, even so, they still failed to defeat the continuous void monsters.

Distortion and corruption have eroded the monolith, but even with its self-healing ability and the blessing of infinite magic, its fate of destruction is still inevitable.

Except for Ne'Zuk, all the other elemental mages including the god warriors were killed.

Realizing that the Void was invincible, he betrayed the creed of the Celestial Warrior and fled for his life.

Simply put, Ne'zuk is an Ascended who betrayed the Shurima Empire...

Noticing Li Lin's slightly terrified expression, Azir laughed:
"It seems that you have also heard of that traitor. I don't mean anything else, I just feel that a mortal like you can master such an exquisite skill."

As he said that, his subject suddenly changed: "However... I'm really curious about where the god weapons in your two hands come from."

Azir looked at the cross blade Charikar in Sivir's hand, and then glanced at the gauntlet storing the blade of the underworld on Kassadin's right hand.

"Chalikar, as early as when the ancestor Setaka was killed in the Void Monster War, the grand maester buried it and its owner in an unknown place.

"And the Netherblade of Horok, the great warrior who ended the War of the Void, with which he slew countless tricksters during my reign.

"I want to know, why are these two weapons in your hands?"

There was a trace of questioning in Azir's tone.

Damn, is this going to take away my cross blade...

Seeing this, Sivir couldn't help frowning slightly, and tightly clenched the Chalikar in his hand.

And Kassadin lowered his head in fear, and was about to explain, only to hear Li Lin speak first:

"Your Majesty, forgive me, you may have been asleep for too long, so you don't know much about what happened after that..."

Li Lin saluted Azir respectfully, his tone neither humble nor overbearing.

"Oh?" The flames in Azir's eyes jumped, "Then tell me, why did Sivir hold the Chalicar whose location only the grand maesters knew, and why did Horock give his Blade of the Underworld to him? An ordinary human?"

The invisible coercion of the emperor and gods on Azir made Li Lin a little breathless.

He took a deep breath, and briefly told Azir what he knew, and things that were rarely recorded in the history of Runeterra.

After the fall of the Empire, most of the Celestial warriors who survived the wars of the void, but were corrupted and corrupted, lost the emperor's command.

Although they are immortal, their souls are still mortal souls, and being corrupted by the void, it is inevitable that they will have humble and petty ambitions.

Without the restraints of the Shurima Empire, these fallen Ascendants have learned the forbidden dark sorcery for a long time, and consider themselves the rightful heirs of the Empire.

They attacked each other and killed each other, showing their brutal and bloody side after being corrupted by the void.

The world despised them as "Darkborn".

In the meaning of ancient Shurima, it is probably equivalent to a hidden curse: the fallen.

During the Darkin War, some Darkin were attacked to death. For example, Horok died at the hands of Nezuk.

On the other hand, at a later Darkin Conference, Maiisha, a girl who was empowered by the Twilight Protoss, instigated dissension and plotted against them, and used Chalikar to clean up most of the Darkin present.

In the following time, Maiisha taught humans how to kill the Darkin with the weapon given to the first Ascended by the giant gods and protoss.

And those dark descendants who were too powerful to be killed used it to seal it into their weapons...

After listening to Li Lin's narration, Azir fell into a long silence.

As a warrior of the gods, his eyes blessed with astral magic can easily penetrate the souls of ordinary humans.

He could see that what Li Lin said was not a lie.

After the fall of the Shurima Empire, the fallen Ascended really had a huge impact on the world.

As for Kassadin and Sivir behind Li Lin, they were even more shocked by this kind of legend that had never been recorded in the classics.

Especially for Kassadin.

Li Lin said about the curses of the gods and warriors, astral magic, etc., that there are ancient books passed down in Picheng, and he can barely accept this statement.

However, it is basically impossible to have a complete record of this dark-born legend, but Li Lin has such a clear understanding of the end of the dark-born war.

And judging from Azir's performance, what he said seems to be true, and it's not an oral legend that he heard from somewhere...

Kassadin felt a little confused, and the way he looked at Li Lin changed.

How many secrets does this mysterious Ionian boy have yet to reveal?
Li Lin gave Azir a little time to think, and then continued: "It can only be regarded as a coincidence that Kassadin and Sivir obtained these two celestial weapons."

His words are not false.

Because Sivir was entrusted to find Chalicar, and happened to find it very convenient, so he took it for himself.

It was even more coincidental for Kassadin. The expedition team he led originally aimed only at treasures. This "Blade of the Underworld" was just a bonus and was sold to Zaun.

If he didn't want to find a weapon to fight against the void, the blade of the underworld would still be a collection of some alchemy baron at this time...

Azir could find nothing wrong with Li Lin's words.

Afterwards, he continued: "Besides, Sivir is your descendant. She can use the former emperor's Charikar, which means that she is recognized by this weapon. As for Kassadin..."

Li Lin glanced back at him, "His hometown has been swallowed by the void, he wants to avenge his wife and daughter, he wants to use it to fight against the void..."

Void...

Upon hearing this word, the flames in Azir's eyes suddenly rose, "They're back again?!"

Kassadin couldn't help interjecting, his voice mournful: "Yes, Your Majesty, a man named Malzahar, known as the 'prophet', brought the void from Icacia back to Shurima.

"He tore open a rift in the void in my hometown, the Valley of Songs in the southeast of Shurima, and devoured all the people in my village. I want to fight them with this god weapon that once pierced the heart of the void. For my family to take revenge."

"Fighting against the void is the duty of every god warrior, there is no need..."

As soon as Azir said the words, he suddenly realized that there were almost no god warriors, so he couldn't help sighing, and put it another way:
"Avenging your family is a good idea, fighting the void with the weapons of the Celestial Warriors, but don't let hatred cloud your eyes.

"It's not enough to rely on the blade of the underworld, and the meager spiritual magic blessing on your armor, you don't understand the horror of the void.

"Even a god warrior cannot avoid being eroded by the void, but an ordinary mortal like you, as long as he stares at the abyss of the void, he will be swallowed by it."

Kassadin let out a heavy breath, "Thank you for His Majesty's concern, but I have made up my mind, I will fight the Void to the last moment, until the end... And, I still have this."

He took out a small box engraved with exquisite runes and sealed by magic from his satchel.

Azir narrowed his eyes, and he could feel that there was something empty in the box.

"This is... where did you get it?!"

"I stole it from the collection of an alchemy baron in Zaun."

Kassadin took the box back.

"I heard that it is a fragment of the monolith during the Void War, although most of the monolith has been swallowed by the erosion of the void.

"But this stone is quite special. It maintains a special state with the void on its body... holding it can avoid the fate of being eroded by the void."

"But you don't know the consequences it may bring." Azir's voice was serious, "As long as you have anything to do with the void, you will eventually be swallowed by them."

"At that time, I will choose to understand life by myself."

Azir stared into Kassadin's firm eyes for a long time in silence.

"Forget it... Now that Horlock is dead, his weapon is better to let it play its final role than to be in the dark tomb."

He shook his head, and looked back at Li Lin, "Now, let's talk about your problem."

A surprised expression appeared on Li Lin's face, "...Me?"
