Chapter 942: Shadow of the Yellow Sand
"Yes, it's no big deal. I just acquired some new abilities, so I came here to test them." After Noah had a brief exchange with the Nova Corps headquarters, he ended the communication and his attention quickly returned to the matters at hand.
The call just now came from the Nova Corps headquarters on Xandar. They called because the outpost on this satellite detected an abnormally large energy fluctuation. The commander of the base quickly contacted the Nova Corps headquarters to ask if the source of this energy fluctuation was related to Noah again.
Noah was also a little curious. The guy's guess was quite accurate. Noah recalled the outpost base crawling at his feet after he used the power of Ornn to transform into a fire giant. This was his impression of the outpost base on this satellite.
Over at the outpost, after receiving confirmation from the Nova Corps headquarters, the commander of the outpost was visibly relieved, and then announced to the busy people in front of him that the alarm was lifted and everything was back to normal.
The Nova Corps members at the base were confused, not knowing why the commander would say such a thing. After all, their investigation had just begun. While the commander was explaining to the soldiers, Noah had already returned to the unfinished summoning work.
"A seventh orb of light and a few bottles of mana potions? Something is better than nothing."
"The eighth ball of light, red crystal? This thing again, um, let me study it. I think I can use the power of the Rune of Resoluteness to create some green crystals."
"The ninth ball of light..."
"Whoosh-!"
"OK, out..." Before Noah could finish the word "goods", he was hit on the forehead by a ball of light and then fell into memories.
A new light ball, a new hero, and taking a bath and changing clothes were indeed the right decisions.
At this moment, Noah was deeply immersed in the vortex of memories, and his vision was covered by the vast yellow sand, as if he was in an endless sea of sand. However, when the raging yellow sand gradually dissipated and his vision suddenly became clear, a majestic and magnificent royal city suddenly appeared in front of Noah, standing proudly on the land covered with yellow sand, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
This royal city is ancient Shurima.
Noah, who witnessed this scene, could not help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. He already had a vague premonition of the hero he had summoned this time. As the perspective of the protagonist of the memory slowly turned to the side, Noah's eyes fell on an extraordinarily luxurious carriage. On the carriage sat several people dressed in ancient Shurima royal costumes. They had noble temperaments and their manners revealed extraordinary majesty.
Among this group of people, a man dressed in the costume of the ancient Shurima king was particularly eye-catching. However, that gorgeous clothing, which symbolized supreme power, undoubtedly showed his noble identity, the king of Shurima.
The protagonist of the memories is the mage hero character in the game, Azir, who is also known as the Tsar and the Yellow Chicken. Azir, the last emperor of the most powerful ancient country on Rune Continent, died on the day of the ascension ceremony due to an unexpected accident. It was not until thousands of years later that he awakened due to some opportunity, and then regained the power of ascension and rebuilt the Shurima Empire.
"Shurima! Your Emperor is back!!"
Noah seemed to recall the Tsar’s majestic and domineering lines, but in his current recollection, Azir did not seem to be the Tsar in his impression.
At this moment, Azir is still a minor, and his identity is still a prince of the Shurima royal family, and the youngest and least favored prince.
After that, Noah followed Azir's perspective and witnessed Azir's growth.
Of course, memories will not present all of Azir's experiences to Noah. The system will only show Noah some of the battles and skills that the heroes have experienced, and those most critical memories.
For example, this is a memory of Azir coming to the library of Nasus to study. Yes, Nasus here is the famous desert death god in the game, and players affectionately call him "dog head". In the glorious era of ancient Shurima, dog head's status was extremely noble. He was the most knowledgeable university scholar in the entire empire.
The dog-head form is the form that Nasus obtained after being baptized by the power of ascension. His younger brother Renekton became an ascender in the form of a crocodile.
And in the process of Azir's skills, he met an important character in the Library of Nasus whose fate was closely related to his, a slave boy who was almost as good as him. Azir named him - Xerath.
After meeting Xerath, Azir's destiny compass began to turn. Later, one day, when Azir, his father, brothers and Renekton went out for the annual tour of the imperial territory, they were attacked by assassins sent by the empire.
After the attack, all of Azir's brothers were slaughtered by assassins, except Azir, Xerath, Azir's emperor father, and General Renekton, leaving Azir as the only descendant of the Shurima royal family.
After returning to the capital, Azir indeed became the only heir. However, the emperor did not like Azir and even released resentment towards him. He wished that he was the one who died instead of Azir's other brothers.
After becoming the heir to the empire, Azir began to work hard and constantly learned martial arts and knowledge from Renekton and Nasus.
However, Azir's father was still not satisfied with his son, and decided to work hard with the young queen to give birth to a new child to replace Azir.
However, as the years passed, the queen was unable to successfully give birth to a new child, and every fetus died before birth. As long as the queen continued to be infertile, Azir's life was relatively safe. Rumors of the curse began to spread around the court, and some even mentioned the name of the prince - but Azir insisted that he was innocent and even executed some who dared to speak out publicly.
Of course, when Noah saw this, while he was sighing that Azir's father was really a newborn Dongxi, he also knew that the reason why the queen's fetuses kept dying and she was always infertile was that there was indeed someone behind the scenes, but it was not Azir, but his slave brother Xerath.
After following Azir, Xerath has been constantly learning knowledge, and he also secretly broke into a long-sealed library and a forgotten secret room to learn powerful and evil magic.
The queen and the fetus in her womb were corrupted by the magical power learned by Xerath, which led to the fetus dying in the womb and unable to be conceived.
