LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

The discussion between the two about Zaun's immigration policy finally came to an end with Nasus' complicated sigh.

At this time, Kassadin, who had been silently listening to their conversation, finally couldn't help but ask: "Friends... are you also the leader?"

"Yes." Taliyah no longer concealed herself in front of her comrades.

She gently opened her palms to show Kassadin the thread of her faith.

"I am Taliyah, leader of the Shurima Social Investigation Team of the Wind Leader."

"Is it you?" Kassadin was surprised: "The liberator of Berghun?"

Shuriman people love to sing the praises of their heroes. Taliyah became a hero to the slaves of Belgun after they were freed.

So on the north shore of Shurima today, Taliyah actually already has quite a reputation.

On his way south from the north shore, Kassadin had heard the name of this "Liberator of Bergun".

"Well..." Taliyah's face turned red. She didn't think it was an honor.

Most people regard her as the liberator of Bergün. Although this is indeed the case, she is very clear in her heart how much trouble her heroic act has caused.

But Kassadin didn't think so much.

He was completely immersed in the surprise of meeting his comrades by chance: "When I was passing by Bergün, the comrades who took over Bergün mentioned your team——"

"Your mission is to conduct a social investigation of all of Shurima, right?"

"Yeah." Taliyah nodded.

"Then where are you going next?"

"Go deep into Monan from Vicoula, and then go to the southern mountains," Taliyah answered truthfully.

"Then I can guide you!" Kassadin enthusiastically introduced himself: "I am a guide. I am familiar with this place in Monan."

"If you want to investigate along this route from Weikaula to the southern mountains, then I'll be on my way too!"

"This..." Taliyah felt a little moved.

She looked tentatively at Sivir.

Sivir shrugged: "I think it's okay. I usually mainly travel in Mobei, and I'm not very familiar with the situation in Monan."

"Since he can be trusted, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have another guide who is familiar with Monan."

If it were in the past, she would definitely not agree to let a stranger join the team.

After all, no one in Shurima can be trusted.

But the leaders are different. Regardless of their status or distance, as long as they show the thread of faith, they can make people feel at ease.

"Okay." Taliyah nodded secretly and extended her hand to Kassadin: "Thank you for your assistance, Comrade Kassadin."

"You're welcome." Kassadin shook hands with her gently and replied frankly: "Actually, I just want to contribute to the liberation of Shurima."

"It would be great if I could follow you and become a hero again... Haha."

As he said that, he thought belatedly: "That's right..."

"Comrade Taliyah, you just asked me about the Prophet's Order. Is there any organizational mission?"

"No." Taliyah shook her head: "Actually, we are just trying to rescue those slaves..."

With that said, Taliyah briefly introduced the ins and outs of the matter to Kassadin.

They actually have no conflict with the Prophetic Order.

It's just that the Prophet's Order bought those hundreds of slaves for some reason, which made them a little concerned.

"The plantations on the north coast have stopped buying slaves. In the desert, where there are many people and few oases, raising slaves is simply a loss-making business. What is the use of this prophetic sect buying so many slaves?"

"This is strange, isn't it?" Taliyah was a little worried about the fate of those slaves.

"This..." Kassadin said with a subtle expression, "It's hard to say."

Anyway, this prophet sect is full of evil nature, and it almost slaps the label of an evil god believer on its face.

Slaves who fall into their hands will probably not end well.

"And the so-called prophet should also be a real person." He did not forget to remind carefully: "Now many city-state tribes in Monan have surrendered to this prophet. If you want to deal with him, That needs to be considered in the long term.”

Taliyah hesitated upon hearing this.

At this time, Nasus woke her up: "Taliyah, don't forget your mission."

"All we have to do is save the group of slaves in front of us. Save those hundreds of slaves and resettle them, that's it - don't worry about other things."

"This...is!" Taliyah also nodded secretly.

Yes. She came here to do social research, not to be a hero.

Moreover, being a hero cannot save Shurima:

She could save these slaves and then deal with the Prophet Order, but what next?

After overthrowing the Order of the Prophet, what should we do with the large power vacuum left behind by the city-state tribes who followed the Order?

What should she do if, in the process of dealing with the Prophet's Order, she discovers other evil forces collaborating with them?

Kill all the way?

If you kill Shurima and go away, will the world be at peace?

"What Shurima needs is not knights, but order." Nasus said: "The most important thing you should do now is to complete your Shurima investigation report as soon as possible, and then bring it back to Zaun and let your superiors decide what to do. It’s time to free this land.”

"Yeah." Taliyah nodded secretly.

"I understand." She figured it out.

It's enough to save these slaves and be a hero this time.

If we continue to ignore the mission assigned by the organization to the investigation team and take unauthorized action against the local forces in Shurima, it will be the blind action of a personal hero.

"Thank you, Mr. Giant." Taliyah said gratefully: "Compared to me, you are more of a mature leader."

"Well..." Nasus said nothing with complicated eyes.

"Okay." He picked up the giant ax and changed the subject: "Don't care about the Prophet's Order."

"Let's rescue these slaves and leave - it's that simple."

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

The next day, a few miles outside the city of Vicoula, in the yellow sand desert.

Nasus and his party are ambushing here.

Their plan to rescue the slaves was very simple, which was to wait for the people from the Prophet's Order to leave Vicoula with the slaves, and then rob the group of evil god believers on the way.

This kind of "black and white" things happen all the time in the desert, and no one would think of the leader thousands of miles away.

Doing this can minimize the impact, preventing the situation in Vicoula from getting out of control like Bergun's because of their appearance.

"Hey, big man." Sivir and his men hid behind the giant rocks in the Gobi, playing with the Chalikar in his hands out of boredom.

She asked Nasus: "Are those evil god believers coming?"

After getting along with him for more than a month, Sivir already knew that Nasus' nose and ears were very good.

Even the Wind Leader, whose specialty was listening to the wind, could not match Nasus' keen hearing.

He could even hear people's conversations clearly ten miles away through the wind and sand in the desert.

Therefore, Sivir regarded her good teacher as a useful radar for detecting enemies.

"Almost." Sure enough, Nasus didn't even raise his eyelids as he looked at the vast yellow sand and said, "They have left the city and are coming here now - just as we expected, they are going south. direction."

"Where are the slaves?" Taliyah asked concerned.

"Don't worry." Nasus' jackal ears twitched slightly: "From the sounds, they seem to be in good condition."

After saying that, he fell into silence again, as if he was listening to something quietly.

"What's wrong?" Sivir was a little curious.

"I was listening to the conversation of those believers." Nasus turned back to look at her: "I have to say, this is quite interesting."

As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly, and he used magic to reappear the conversation he heard in everyone's ears out of thin air:

"We have brought back so many sacrifices this time, and the prophet will definitely commend us for our contribution." Cultist A said.

"Yes." The voice of cultist B was a little fanatical: "Perhaps, the prophet will allow us to participate in the sacrifice - I can't wait to merge with that great nothingness."

"This..." Cultist C seems to be a newbie who has just joined the religion.

He asked carefully with some concern: "Participating in the sacrifice...means?"

"Just like those sacrifices." Cultist B replied excitedly: "Dedicate your body to the ethereal spirit underground, and let the great void merge with us."

"What?" Cultist C turned pale in surprise: "We also want to sacrifice?"

"Of course." Both believers A and B answered in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Then what's the difference between us and these slaves?"

"Of course there is no difference." Cultist B replied calmly: "In the embrace of the great nothingness, each of us is equal. We will all be a part of her, brothers and sisters who are spiritually integrated."

"This..." Cultist C still felt something was wrong: "Is this considered equality?"

"Of course! This is true equality!"

"People are born unequal. Some are rich and some are poor, some are strong and some are weak, some are smart and some are stupid."

"Strong people will always trample the weak under their feet, and smart people will always ride on the heads of the stupid. The poor will only be able to work as cattle and horses for the rich throughout their lives, and they will almost never be able to stand up."

“True equality can never be achieved while we remain alive as human beings.”

"Human beings alone can never solve the problems of human society."

"Fortunately, the great nothingness will eventually come to Runeland——"

“We can all shed our bodies and merge our souls with them.”

"At that time, we will no longer have to endure hunger or struggle to survive. There will no longer be any inequality between people, and there will no longer be oppression and bullying of individuals by individuals."

"Because by then, all mankind will cease to exist, and there will only be one individual left in the world - that is 'us'!"

"We are all the great nothingness, and the great nothingness is us!"

"We...will become gods!"

"..."

In silence, Cultist C seemed to be moved by the wonderful future he described.

Being a human being is too hard.

Joining the great nothingness and becoming a part of the gods seems to be the best destination for human beings.

"..."

After listening to these conversations, Taliyah, Sivir and others couldn't help but become speechless.

They originally thought that this prophetic sect was just a common evil sect in the desert, with at most a special teaching.

Unexpectedly, their teachings were not only unique, but also quite complete.

“There is thinking and analysis of social contradictions, and there are also ultimate solutions.”

Although this solution to social problems by annihilating human society is indeed a bit weird.

But the teachings of this prophetic sect are indeed logically perfect and self-consistent.

Since you can't get equality as a human being, then you shouldn't be a human being. If all mankind is integrated into a collective consciousness, there will no longer be oppression of people by people, and there will be no social conflicts.

"Are they...really just ordinary followers of the evil god?" Taliyah murmured.

Common evil gods, such as the Spider God whom Yin Lisi believed in, and Vladimir who was sought after by the Scarlet Cultists, ordered their followers to offer sacrifices, but they simply wanted to eat people.

And these evil gods generally do not design overly complicated doctrines for themselves.

Because they are all real gods with powerful enough power for believers to follow them loyally.

Therefore, evil gods do not need to tell stories to deceive believers. They only need to show some small favors to believers to make believers sincerely offer living sacrifices to them.

"But this prophetic sect has devised such a complicated rhetoric for their sacrifice."

"What's the point of doing this?"

Taliyah and Sivir looked at each other, then tentatively looked at Nasus.

Nasus lowered his eyes, quietly lost in thought.

He thought for a moment and then said: "I think there is only one possibility."

"What?" Taliyah and others asked curiously.

"Their teachings, not stories."

"Their Lord, the collection of consciousness of all things, the great nothingness that will eventually swallow everything completely - may be a real existence."

"This..." Taliyah and Sivir couldn't believe it.

Is there really such a god in the world?

An ultimate collection of consciousness that swallows all things and can integrate all things?

"I don't know." Nasus shook his head: "As far as I know, there has never been such a special existence."

Even though he is a great bachelor of the Shurima Empire and an ascendant who has experienced thousands of years of life, he has never heard of any existence similar to this "great void".

This made him wonder again:

"Perhaps I am overly concerned. Perhaps...their teachings are really just a story."

As Nasus said this, his jackal ears hidden under his hood twitched slightly again.

He fell silent and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the distance.

"What did you hear again, big man?" Sivir quickly asked.

"Nothing." Nasus shook his head this time.

Those believers did not continue to discuss doctrine.

Their discussion ended with a burst of urging: "Stop chatting and move faster!"

"Don't forget that the Prophet will perform his next sacrifice on Mount Bairat."

"We set off too late. If we can't make it, we'll have to wait for the next sacrifice ceremony."

"..."

After hearing this, neither Taliyah nor Sivir reacted much.

After all, they had already decided that they would only save the slaves this time and not do anything else.

Where these prophet believers will go next, and where the so-called prophet will perform the sacrificial ceremony, it has nothing to do with them.

but...

"Mount Bairat?" Kassadin, who was just listening to his companions' discussion quietly, suddenly shouted excitedly.

He grabbed Nasus' robe regardless and asked, "Mr. Giant, what did those prophets just say..."

"The place where the Prophet will perform his next sacrifice ceremony is Mount Bairat?"

"Yes," Nasus confirmed.

The Ascended One's ear can't go wrong. What's more, what he has is a pair of dog...jackal ears.

"What's wrong?" Taliyah and Sivir both looked curiously.

Kassadin replied with a pale face: "I..."

“My home is in Bairat Mountain!”
