My Wife is Medusa

Chapter 14 Shurima

The Great Elder said with a serious face: "Your Majesty! You must have known it already. We are the people of the Shurima Empire, and you! You are the queen of the royal family!"

Medusa was a little surprised when she saw the great elder's seriousness, and said, "Huh? Although I have occasionally heard people talking about Shurima, I have always regarded those ancient stories as legends."

Seeing that Medusa didn't take this matter to heart, the second elder cupped his hands and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty the Queen! This is not a legend. Back then..."

Upon hearing this gesture, Medusa came again.She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay! It's that old tooth-lost story again! You've been telling me since I can remember! I'm tired of hearing it! Is there anything else? Version?!"

The Great Elder, the Second Elder and the Third Elder looked at each other, they made eye contact with each other, and nodded. The Third Elder stood up and arched his hands towards Queen Medusa.
"Your Majesty the Queen! You must have never heard of my version of the legend."

When Medusa heard what the third elder said, she immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it?"

"Thousands of years ago, the Gore Desert was not like this."

Thousands of years ago, Shurima was a powerful slavery-based, vassal-managed empire with ambitious kings, invincible armies, and mysterious and powerful Ascendants.It is almost impossible for such a country not to prosper.

Under the rule of that generation of Shurima emperors, Shurima became one of the most powerful empires on the Douqi Continent - not even one.Above the temple in the center of the capital, a sun disc floats, radiating endless energy and nourishing the vast land of Shurima.

Such a powerful and unparalleled country naturally has extremely high requirements for the choice of heirs.

Azir, the youngest prince of the Shurima royal family, was different from his royal brothers. He never learned combat skills from Renekton, but spent every day in the library of Nasus, obsessed with reading.

Shurima is an empire that expands by conquering wars, and the royal blood is martial and warlike.A thin prince like Azir, who is still the youngest, naturally has nothing to do with the cause of inheriting the Shurima Empire.

Azir never had any interest in the throne.His future was clear: to become a clergyman, or entrusted to some remote area.So he should read books, go to the library, go to the library, keep aloof from the world, and enjoy himself at ease.

In the library, the lonely Azir met a humble boy.The two children read books together every day, learned the history of Shurima together, and slowly became best friends.

Azir also gave him a name: Xerath.

One year, the emperor took the princes to tour the imperial territory, and unknown assassins attacked them.Renekton protected the emperor and killed all the assassins, but he didn't care about the princes.

As a result, Azir and Xerath, who sneaked out to draw stars in the middle of the night, were also attacked, but killed the assassin instead.The other princes died.

This is very embarrassing.

After the emperor returned, he started to kill people like crazy, killing all the people he suspected of being assassins.

Although Azir was the most direct beneficiary of this assassination, because he became the only prince.Oh no, prince.

The emperor didn't think such a cowardly child was capable of planning such a meticulous assassination.But he still hated Azir, and even bluntly stated that as long as a new prince was born, Azir would have to die.

Ruthless is the emperor's family.

Azir stopped going to the library, and studied martial arts and military with Renekton every day.And promoted Xerath to be his confidant, let him study hard, and help him well in the future
What's weird is that the queen never gave birth to a prince, and each of them was stillborn.

Azir became the first suspect again.Then rumors of the curse spread.Azir has also learned to be good. Since I am innocent, I will execute anyone who talks nonsense to me.

Finally the new prince was born, but on the day of the birth, the Queen's bedroom was struck by lightning, and the strikes continued endlessly.Both the queen and the new prince are dead
Then such a talented, decisive, and ambitious emperor committed suicide. Can you believe it? Of course it is impossible.

Regardless of whether Azir can do it or not, he must take over the huge empire of Shurima.

With the help of Xerath, the weather in Shurima is smooth, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the territory has also expanded. Shurima has entered the most powerful period in history.

Azir has been thinking about one thing, which is to overthrow slavery and let his best friend be truly free.But although this matter will last for thousands of years, it will not happen overnight, and it will take a long time to plan.

He wanted to give Xerath a surprise, but he didn't expect this matter to become a knot in Xerath's heart.

Xerath drew a big pie for Azir - to conquer the world.Then trick him into becoming an ascender.

When it comes to ascenders, we have to talk about Nasus and Renekton mentioned above.

Shurima has a sun disc suspended atop the empire's central temple.With its power, humans can ascend and become demigods.

We all know that Nasus and Renekton are brothers.In the past, everyone has been ridiculing, a dog and a crocodile, who is the father and who is the mother, can give birth to such two monsters
Nasus loved to read and study since he was a child (I suddenly felt that people who love to read have no good end), while Renekton liked to fight everywhere.Later, the two of them strategized and the other fell into battle, leading the Shurima army to be invincible.

Then Nasus fell ill, was cursed by Amumu, or by Icathia's cult, no one knows.

But everybody knows he's dying
The emperor valued Nasus very much, so he begged the Holy See to give Nasus an ascension.

Before the ascension ceremony started, Renekton finally rushed back.The weak Nasus was unable to step up to the altar to receive the holy light. Renekton carried his brother on his back without hesitation and walked towards the sun disc.
Under the power of ascension, except for the ascendant, anyone who approaches the sun disc will be wiped out.Kerekton didn't hesitate.

As a result, both of them became Ascenders, a jackal-headed human body, and a crocodile-shaped monster.All are demigods.

(Here you can refer to the desert god Seth and the death god Anubis in ancient Egyptian mythology-the combination of their names happens to be the desert god of death, and the "devourer" Amit beside Anubis)

Nasus and Renekton have guarded Shurima for thousands of years, and the lifespan is endless.Instigated by Xerath, Azir wanted to be one of them, enjoy unlimited life, and be the ruler of the unprecedented world.

Azir never dreamed that besides being his most trusted friend, Xerath was also a dark wizard
He learned black magic from ancient tombs, corrupted the fetus in the old queen's womb with vicious curses, and killed the only surviving prince with a thunder when he was born.And killed the old emperor who came to rescue.

In the decades of assisting Azir, he has done his best, but Azir has never given him a title, so that he can stand upright in front of everyone and tell them, I am not a slave, I have a name, I Call Xerath!
If Xerath really betrayed Azir because of the abolition of slavery, I don't believe it.In fact, he has other plans.

Black magic twisted his mind, he wanted to gain more power, he wanted to live forever.There is no other way but to ascend.

He knew that it was impossible for him to gain the power of ascension, because only those who had dedicated their lives to Shuri were eligible to ascend.Xerath has done a lot for the country, but the methods are too insidious, most of them are shameful, and the sun priest will not allow him to ascend.

But Azir can, because he is the emperor of Shurima, and the sun priest is also afraid of death.

As a result, on the day of ascension, Xerath sent away Nasus and Renekton first, and then waited for the ceremony to begin.

Azir stepped up to the altar, turned and embraced Xerath, and declared that all slaves in Shurima would be set free.

And Xerath is my eternal brother to Azir.

Xerath was stunned, but the stunned moment would not delay him from stealing the power of ascension.

As I said before, whether or not slavery is abolished is just a knot in the heart, and it is the deformed desire for power that drives Xerath to this road of no return.

Azir was consumed by the fire of the sun, and Xerath absorbed the power of ascension.

Then he blew up.After all, he snatched away what didn't belong to him, and not everyone can control the energy of the astral world.The explosion destroyed everything but the altar, and the ancient Shurima Empire collapsed.

In the end, Xerath turned into a mass of energy, and the rushed brothers Nasus Renekton took a sarcophagus and locked it.

But Xerath is still very strong after being locked up, the brothers can't beat him

Renekton desperately trapped Xerath and asked Nasus to seal them together.Nasus locked the tomb with hatred, burdened with a heavy guilt, and exiled himself for a thousand years.

until today!

The third elder said excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your bloodline has been recognized by Shurima!"

Medusa looked at the three elders who were excited, and was dubious about this nonsense story.

Her index finger tapped the throne below her body very erratically and said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire! He is also my ancestor!
Xerath, Azir's confidant!Is a powerful dark wizard.At the same time, it is also the chief culprit in the destruction of the Shurima Empire!
Nethers

The legendary Ascender!He is a civil servant, but his force is not bad.Possesses a demigod physique

Laketon

A top-notch warrior!Is a natural fighter.Be fearless. "

After calmly analyzing the wave, Medusa was taken aback. She was very surprised and said: "Wait! You mean. The reason why the three of you refused to come out to develop the tribe is because you are guarding the emperor's tomb. ?”

When mentioning the imperial mausoleum, the eyes of the First Elder and the Second Elder were filled with enthusiasm
　Excuse me.I lost my rhythm.So updates are slow.give me sometime.It will get better soon.
