Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Getting Aatrox back to the Shurima Empire went smoothly, even exceeding Li Lin's expectations.

With the help of Zoe, the legendary general of the Ascension Corps regained the body of a god before being twisted and reshaped by blood magic.

Even if the soul is polluted, the illumination of the sun disc can greatly delay the spread of void corruption.

As long as Azir is around, Aatrox will serve Shurima for at least a long time to come.

With a third Ascendant who is still normal, the Shurima Empire rises faster than the original timeline.

Because Aatrox was still wearing a sinful body, Azir did not arrange a welcome ceremony for him.

For the rest of the day, the Emperor called his Golden Light Ambassador, Resurrection Ambassador, and a group of trusted ministers, and held a meeting in the Emperor's Palace.

Li Lin, Zoe, Nasus, Aatrox, and even Sivir all participated.

The threat of Belvis is approaching, and there is only half a year to prepare, but it seems that only Aatrox has returned to Shurima.

However, Li Lin said that these are not problems. As long as Shurima is willing to provide the list of those who have ascended, he can find them through Miniature Runeterra, if they have broken free of the seal at least once.

Otherwise, relying on the sealing strength of the astral magic used by the previous Maiisha, Miniature Runeterra would not be able to lock their living weapons by name.

This is clearly mentioned by Zhinao, and it can only be determined where they last appeared.

It is quite difficult to search for dark descendants, and what Li Lin knows so far is that Verus may have broken free of the seal.

The Noai War has only ended for more than a year. Kayn, who was once sent to the battlefield by Noxus as a scout, was defeated and adopted by the Lord of the Shadow Stream, is still a teenager learning shadow magic, and has never been in contact with Layas. special.

What's more, Noxus has not unearthed the rumors of the darkin scythe for the time being, and Raast is likely to be sealed somewhere, let alone other darkin.

Afterwards, Aatrox was appointed by Azir as the general to search for dark-born weapons. With the help of Li Lin, he will try his best to find his former compatriots and persuade them to return to Azir's rule.

If some darkborn cannot restrain their despicable hearts, just like Ne'zuk once betrayed the empire and refused to return, then let them embrace annihilation completely.

Shurima doesn't need subordinates with different intentions, and Li Lin will not tolerate some darkin stabbing in the back when everyone faces the void in the future.

Horok's death by Ne'Zuk's backstab is a prime example.

And taking advantage of the eve of facing Belvis, Azir gave Nasus a task:

He was required to take at least three ports in northern Shurima occupied by Noxus, Uzeris, Tellishne and Belguen within three months.

After the meeting was over, the sun had already set, and everyone was step by step, performing their duties, and fulfilling the orders given to them by the God Emperor.

The Ascendant doesn't need to rest, and neither does Li Lin, so not long after the meeting ended, he and Zoe went to Nasus, and then went to Aatrox, who was standing on the high place looking at the sunset on the horizon. .

Zoe doesn't like the desert, and she doesn't like Shurima too much. The reason why she stays here is purely because of Li Lin.

When Li Lin ascended the city wall step by step from the steps, she was just chewing bubble gum, floating in the air bored, her body shaking with the brisk humming melody, immersed in her own "self-entertainment" world.

When he saw Aatrox's broad back of more than three meters, Li Lin silently walked a few steps away from him, looked past his body, and looked at the orange-red sunset that was about to melt into the yellow sand in the distance.

Most of the red light has receded, and the gray-white giant sword is embedded in the special sword-holding protrusion of his back armor, but it is still clearly different from his noble and holy body.

Aatrox had heard the footsteps, but didn't look back.

After a long silence, he sighed heavily, "I have touched the stars, I have witnessed the rays of thousands of suns, we have vowed to protect this world to the death, but it was also us who pushed her into the abyss with our own hands."

Aatrox turned around, the golden light in his eyes appeared, and the expressionless expression on his face was fully displayed. From time to time, there was a kind of violence and bloodthirsty, but he quickly suppressed it back.

"Sorry, I wasn't so sentimental before." He forced a smile.

In the past thousands of years, he has long been used to being unrestrained as a darkborn, and he is used to being bathed in the blood that can make him happy physically and mentally. This deep-rooted habit cannot be changed in a short period of time.

This is the main reason why Azir is temporarily worried about allocating part of the golden warriors to Aatrox.

"I can understand." Li Lin looked straight into his eyes, "Some things cannot be avoided, but at least we still have a chance to make amends."

"Yeah...remedy." Aatrox looked up at the sun disc that had shrunk its brilliance as night fell, "You are strong, beyond my expectation, but I can see it too , You are not proficient in martial arts."

"For me, martial arts is actually dispensable." Li Lin said.

"That's right, with your mechanical armor, even now I may not be your opponent."

Li Lin shook his head slightly, not paying much attention to Aatrox's self-effacing words.

Aatrox's strength at its peak was greatly praised by both Azir and Nasus, and it was clearly recorded in "History of the Ascended Warriors" that no Ascended person disagreed with the general's strength.

Just because of the inexplicable sense of oppression after reshaping his body, Li Lin thought that even if he had already strengthened his body at the third stage, there was a high probability that he would not be able to defeat Aatrox who did not use the posture of a god with melee combat alone.

If Nasus faced him in an ordinary form, he would be subdued by him in just a few rounds...

"I came to see you for a serious business." Li Lin said straight to the point.

"What you want to discuss is that the God Emperor gave me an order to find Darkborn weapons?"

"That's right." Li Lin nodded.

"I have already obtained the list of Darkborn from the grand maester, of course they are all the gods who survived the Void War.

"Including Grand Maester and Renekton, there were 78 survivors of the Void War at that time, but it is unknown whether they survived the period from the Fall of Shurima to the Darkin War."

After Li Lin finished speaking, Aatrox was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he put his hand on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and responded with a bit of pain: "The void has had a great impact on me, plus the torment after being sealed into the weapon, I remember many things. I don't know, but..."

He paused, "In my only memory, quite a few compatriots were killed in the early days of the Darkin War, all thanks to that traitor Ne'zuk!"

Especially at the mention of the name "Ne'Zuk", Aatrox almost gritted his teeth and spit out every single word.

Among the Ascended, he had a good relationship with Horok, and a great hero who ended the War of the Void should end up on the battlefield, not at the hands of his own people.

Aatrox clenched his fists, even his muscles were trembling, he took several deep breaths in a row, suppressing the anger and desire to kill in his heart.

"In general, at least I know that there were about 36 Darkin who died in the Darkin War... or 39? Can't remember."

He shook his head, with a sense of loss in his tone, "At the beginning Ta'anari wanted to call us back together to discuss the future of Shurima, but few darkin responded to his call.

"At least I know that those who didn't go are me, Verus, Raast, Horaz, Talusi..."

After saying more than ten names, the golden light in Aatrox's eyes beat rapidly, and the breath in his body changed unsteadily, as if thinking of his enemy.

"Also, Zuo Lanni."

Apart from Verus and Raast, he finally said a name that Li Lin was quite familiar with.

Zuo Lanni is not a god that Li Lin knew before traveling, but was read by accident in the history of Shurima.

She is an ascendant who uses healing power, has a compassionate heart for the world, and is deeply loved by followers and believers in the territory.

Zoran used to be a city-state under the jurisdiction of Zuo Lanni, not far from the port of Belvis, which is why Li Lin knew about this "faceless god".

Unexpectedly, Aatrox had such a deep hatred for Zuo Lanni.

Li Lin frowned secretly, and wanted to ask about the relationship between the two of them, but seeing the pained expression of the god frowning in front of him, he gave up this idea.

"Forget it, it's over."

Aatrox quickly calmed down his emotions, "Among the Darkborn, among our formerly crazy compatriots, Zuo Lanni is the most concerned about mortals, even though she likes to control them with blood.

"We have led mortal armies to battle many times, but each time she used her special magic to save the day, but my men Talusi defeated her.

"After the darkin conference, I heard the news from Naganeka that Ta'anari betrayed them, except Sebotaru and Verus's sister Valiva, including Ta'anari The four dark descendants were all disintegrated by the magic that fell from the sky...

"It's the work of the Twilight Protoss."

He couldn't help turning his gaze to Zooey who was blowing bubbles.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me? I didn't do it!"

She glared at Aatrox, causing him to look away in slight embarrassment.

"In short, there will not be many Darkborns surviving in the world. Except for Naganika, Raast, Talushi and Horaz who may respond to my call. If they are still alive, other Darkborns may not will return to imperial rule."

Aatrox looked down at Li Lin, "The Void is approaching, the most urgent task now is to issue the Ascension Order, find qualified fighters in the territory governed by the empire, and re-establish the Ascension Regiment."

Li Lin glanced at Zoe beside him, feeling a trace of helplessness in his heart.

It doesn't take much power of the Star Forging Dragon King to lift the sealed dark descendant and reshape the body of the god, after all, they have already ascended.

But if you are looking for a new Ascendant, you will need more power. Zoe has made this clear, so she did not re-teach Azir and the lost Ascension Ritual of the Nasus Empire.

At the meeting, Azir had already explained the situation to Aatrox. The Ascendant drew the power of the Star-Forging Dragon King, a creator.

But he still made such a proposal, which is enough to show that the main problem that Runeterra needs to deal with at present is the void problem.

After all, Aatrox once went deep into Icacia to participate in the war of the void, and knew the horror of the void.

"I know it's difficult for you, but I hope you can think about it carefully before discussing it with...uh, Miss Zoe." Aatrox said, "At least half a year from now, we will face your so-called Empress of the Void. There must be 10 god warriors who can do it."

The ten god warriors...

"I understand." Li Lin took a deep breath, "However, let's look for the dark descendants first."

……

……

There is an error in Chapter 142: Naganeka is not a snake-headed darkborn, but is similar to a lizard. The snake-headed sister of Verus may be Varieva who appeared in the official background, because her brother is absent from the darkborn The conference, and let the organizer Tayanali feel lucky, he focused on describing his eyes, and said that he and his sisters are still obsessed with revenge on those who spread rumors, which is in line with Verus's setting, but it has not been confirmed.
