Chapter 205 Return
Just as Cassiopeia began preparing for the expedition, some heroes in Ionia also met their fate! The wheels of their destiny have begun to roll!
Remember the toxic solvent information that Katarina found in an abandoned laboratory in Zaun?
Yes, destiny is back on track.
This time, although Singed did not personally help Noxus prepare the medicine, the medicine brought back by Katarina was still used in the war!
As the leader of a frontline battle group, a female warrior named Raven suffered a backstab from her motherland!
Raven, who survived alone, became a lonely ghost and began to wander around Ionia looking for his own destination.
Soon, the elders of the Storm Sword Sect were killed by the explosion of Raven's rune blade because they wanted to save Raven.
The swift swordsman Yasuo was wronged and began his wandering journey to evade pursuit and find the truth.
Also in Ionia.
A 'vastaya tribesman' in the form of a monkey became a disciple of a sword master of the Wuju Sword Sect, and joined the sword master named Yi in the war against the invasion of Noxus!
On the other side, a traitor appeared among the Kinkou Sect. The traitor named Zed established the Shadow Stream Sect, and also began to assassinate the invading Noxians everywhere.
Coincidentally, various reclusive masters have joined the resistance in Ionia.
Although Ionia does not have a unified political power at all, and there is no unified command in the resistance war, those masters will always defeat the Noxian army.
This caused the Noxian front to retreat again and again. It seemed that the invasion of Ionia was about to fail!
Because of this war situation, Noxus has become even more chaotic!
More than half a month later, General Darius suffered another defeat at the northern border of the empire. His army was driven into the fortress by Zhuang Seni's tribe, and could only be forced to defend with the majestic walls of the fortress!
General Darius, who had achieved nothing, returned to the capital and learned about Swain's coup and the imprisonment of the emperor.
But Darius did not choose to be hostile to Swain.
Instead, he sided with Swain!
General Darius personally killed the puppet emperor who was living an ignoble existence!
Later, he contacted Swain and Du Cacao, and compiled a "Trefali Convention" and announced it to the whole country!
The convention stated: The decadent imperial era is over!
In the future, Noxus will be governed by three parties. The empire will reduce unnecessary wars. All citizens will receive fair rights, and promotions will be determined by merit in war!
The contents of the convention are similar. The main purpose is to cleanse the old system, eliminate the hereditary nobility and slavery, and make Noxus more fair and just.
This convention has enabled the Big Three to win the support of countless people at the bottom.
At the same time, they also received the hostility of countless old nobles.
But the power of the three giants was too strong, and the old nobles could only avoid the spotlight for the time being and quietly hide within the empire.
When the contents of this treaty reached Shurima, Cassiopeia knew that she could not delay it any longer.
She found her mother and said seriously: "Mother, I must leave as soon as possible! Swain has gained greater strength! I must find ancient power for the organization that can compete with him as soon as possible!"
The general's wife did not object, but repeatedly reminded her daughter to be careful outside.
The next day, Cassiopeia immediately led the team and set off!
Under the guidance of Sivir, the strongest mercenary, the expedition team approached the capital of the Shurima Empire that had collapsed for countless years, and began to search for ancient power in the various tombs under its ruins!
If it were an ordinary explorer, this trip might not yield any results at all.
But Cassiopeia is different! Her intelligence advantage is too great!
Before setting off, she found a lot of relatively reliable archaeological information, which allowed the expedition team led by Cassiopeia to bypass many detours!
A month later, in an underground tomb, the team successfully found traces of ancient power!
"This employment is over."
Deep in a mausoleum, Sivir stared at the mini sun disk suspended in the air of the tomb. She said softly: "Miss Employer, do you need to escort you home later? But that is another employment contract." price."
"Thank you, but no need."
Cassiopeia responded with a faint smile. She also stared at the small floating sun disk and walked slowly behind Sivir.
She asked curiously: "Sivir, didn't you get a lot of final prize money from the competition in Piervotv last year? Why are you still running around for that commission?"
Sivir was silent.
She stared at the sun disk with a complex expression. After a while, she answered vaguely: "There are many people who need to rely on me to support them. That is the responsibility given to me by my blood."
"Really? That's it."
Kasi Peoa shook her head slightly with a regretful tone.
She stretched her hands to her waist and said at the same time: "Unfortunately, those people may lose their support."
"What?"
Sivir turned around in shock.
However, in the next moment, a sharp dagger suddenly pierced Sivir's back!
After a 'ba' sound, Cassiopeia looked at the astonished Sivir with a smile.
She smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, the less people know about the things here, the better."
After saying that, Cassiopeia moved her palm forward, causing Sivir to fall directly into the puddle on the floor of the tomb.
Seeing the scene of blood smearing in the puddles, Cassiopeia no longer ignored Sivir, whose fate was determined, but loudly ordered the guards in the expedition team to collect the sun disk.
The guards also ignored Sivir. They followed the order and built a simple high ladder, and went to collect the sun disk suspended in mid-air.
Sudden change!
The moment the ascending soldiers touched the sun disk, the whole tomb suddenly trembled!
A crack appeared from the ceiling of the tomb, allowing a beam of sunlight as thick as an arm to shine in, illuminating the originally dark tomb!
Everyone in the expedition team was shocked!
But after waiting for a while, no other abnormalities were seen, and the expedition team continued its mission!
Soon, the two-meter-diameter solar disk was plucked from the sky.
Cassiopeia immediately stepped forward to check!
Even if there are no magicians present, everyone can feel the extraordinary power from that disk!
This made Cassiopeia very happy, which proved that she had found the right one!
Just as Cassiopeia was observing the disc carefully, a scream suddenly sounded from behind it!
"Attack—"
The hoarse screams suddenly resounded throughout the tomb!
Everyone was shocked! And quickly organized a defense!
But the expedition had no idea what they were facing!
That's the magic guard protecting the tomb! They are ferocious and powerful!
The guards Cassiopeia brought were all elites of the family legion, but under the pursuit of those tomb guards, all the guards were so vulnerable!
The various screams did not last long! Soon, Cassiopeia herself was the only one left in the mausoleum!
At this moment, she regretted not inheriting her father's assassin skills like her sister!
But Cassiopeia didn't give up!
After she gritted her teeth, she immediately chose a desperate escape!
Lives matter! Cassiopeia gave up the sun disk she had obtained, and ran quickly along the route she came in to the outside of the mausoleum!
As she moved, the guards hiding in the shadows also moved!
The guards snaked across the ground chasing Cassiopeia!
The speed of those guards was obviously very fast before, but now, they did not directly kill Cassiopeia!
Like a cat playing with a mouse, the guards chased Cassiopeia and fled in panic through the passage of the mausoleum!
It wasn't until Cassiopeia was about to escape and ascend to heaven that one of the guards suddenly increased his speed!
The fangs pierced Cassiopeia's calf and left.
Cassiopeia screamed! But the surge of adrenaline made her temporarily ignore the pain!
The next moment, Cassiopeia finally successfully escaped from the tomb! And meet up with the guards staying outside!
The sunshine and companions caused the energy Cassiopeia was holding to fall apart in an instant!
She didn't even have time to explain the situation, she fell unconscious and fell into the sea of hot sand.
The guard was shocked!
The two guards who had not entered the tomb quickly stepped forward to check on Cassiopeia!
They briefly helped Cassiopeia treat the wound on her calf, and then immediately packed up their belongings and started to return!
Inside the mausoleum.
The guards who killed the intruders and left the curse on Cassiopeia returned to the hall.
They snaked around the load-bearing stone pillars of the mausoleum and turned into stone reliefs.
The entire tomb returned to silence, with only the occasional soft splash of water and the occasional unconscious groan of pain from Sivir in his coma.
Time passes.
The cool sun gradually moves westward.
Inside the mausoleum, the beam of light projected from the crack also began to move gradually.
At some point, the beam moved above the sun's disk, which was tilted toward the ground.
The light was instantly refracted and projected onto the center of a circular relief on the wall of the mausoleum!
With the sound of "Gala La", the mechanism on the wall automatically opened, and a figure slowly flew out from inside the mechanism!
The refracted sunlight continued to pour into that figure, and the scorching energy began to heat up the entire tomb.
At a certain moment, the eyes of the fully enclosed flying eagle helmet on the figure's head suddenly lit up with a golden light!
The figure slowly opened his hands and began to actively absorb the light energy projected on him!
The light caused Sivir, who was dying, to slowly open his eyes.
Without looking up, she directly saw the figure floating above her.
Sivir's eyes widened in surprise.
And at the next moment, the figure floating in the air also lowered his head and looked down.
"Are they actually descendants of my bloodline..."
A slightly dry voice sounded, and the figure floating in the air said slowly: "Why are you so desperate and embarrassed?"
After finishing speaking, the figure in mid-air slowly opened his palm to Sivir in the puddle below.
A powerful beam of energy instantly entered Sivir's body!
That power restored Sivir's strength a little, and stopped Sivir's loss of life.
"Who...are you?" Sivir asked feebly.
"I am Azir! The master of this continent! The emperor of Shurima!"
"Emperor...heh..."
Sivir sneered: "For so many years, countless poor and impoverished Shurima people have been praying for an emperor to lead them out of their difficulties, then!"
She reluctantly sat up and asked, regardless of the blood spurting out of her wound again: "All these years! Where is this so-called emperor of yours?!"
"That is an angry story." Desert Emperor Azir said quietly: "But those are not important! Now, I am back! The emperor that the people of Shurima have been waiting for! Is back!"
"What if I come back?"
Sivir was very resentful towards her ancestors. She gritted her teeth and roared: "You will only lead the people into an abyss of despair!"
"Watch your words! Descendants of my blood!"
Azir was slightly dissatisfied, and for a moment he showed his aura of controlling life and death with just one word.
Sivir immediately groaned and spurted out more blood from the wound.
Seeing this, Azir quickly restrained his strength.
He once again projected flaming light energy at Sivir. Although his power could not heal injuries professionally, it could at least save Sivir from life-threatening danger.
But Sivir didn’t appreciate it!
After feeling that he was injured enough to move, Sivir immediately stepped back and left the range of the light energy!
She looked up at Arez and said coldly: "There is no need for you to show mercy! Desert Emperor! When you see Shurima today with your own eyes, you will know how ridiculous your return is!"
After saying that, Sivir dragged his seriously injured body directly to the outside of the mausoleum.
"My descendants."
Arez, still floating in the air, asked softly: "What's your name?"
Sivir's footsteps paused before she left, and then she continued walking and replied calmly: "Sivir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sivir's figure quickly disappeared into the shadows.
"Sivir..."
Azir pondered for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "Sivir, you will either rise with Shurima or overthrow it. As my descendant, this is your destiny!"
"but……"
Azir raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the mausoleum.
He let go of his perception, and the power of perception almost enveloped dozens of kilometers in the desert outside!
He 'saw' everything in Shurima now!
With a cold snort, Azir slowly raised his arms.
Rumble——
The entire capital ruins of Shurima began to tremble!
The buildings that collapsed and were buried deep under the sea of sand began to recover, and the various destroyed buildings were reassembled and resurrected!
The Ascension Altar in the center of the ruins is slowly healing as if going back in time!
The huge and unknown sun disc rose again from the altar and slowly rotated in the air.
The sky and the earth seemed to darken for a moment, and an unknown amount of light energy was absorbed by the sun disk.
Soon after, a voice seemed to resound throughout the entire Shurima Desert!
"Shurima!"
The voice seemed to come from underground: "Your emperor! He's back——"
boom--
The entire desert buzzed and trembled, as if in response to that announcement!
At this moment, countless people in the entire desert looked in the direction of the ruins of the capital...
