LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 446 The Only Slave in the Empire

"Not impossible!" Azir looked at his good brother, his eyes filled with shock and puzzlement.

He still couldn't believe it.Even if Xerath has already admitted it himself.

This is his brother!
How could he betray himself!
"Azir, it's me." Xerath sighed.

"." Azir was silent for a while.

Then, he turned his head trembling, and recklessly used the magic of the ascender to summon the billowing yellow sand in the desert.

Dust forms ghostly apparitions, recreating the city's deathbed.

These are images of the past, echoes of the physical form of Shurima.

I saw the human figures made of sand and dust, all looking in the direction of the sun disc.The sun disc still hung high in the sky half a mile away, showing off the glory and power of the Azir Empire.

However, the next second.
The joy on people's faces turned to fear.They were instantly obliterated by an invisible energy, turning into dust and passing away with the wind.

Soon, Azir's family emerges, rendered in picture-perfect, heartbreaking detail.He is pregnant with his pregnant wife.Her shy daughter clutches his wife's hand.His son held his head high and was almost ready to grow up.

But all of this quickly disappeared with the explosion of the solar disk.

Look up again at the altar, the source of this disaster.
A figure formed by dust appeared.This is his most trusted servant, his wizard, Xerath.

"After, what happened later?" Azir's voice trembled.

With red eyes, he looked at Li Wei with a ferocious expression: "What happened next?!"

"Later, the Shurima Empire perished." Li Wei knew what he wanted to ask: "Without the guidance of the Sun Disc and the Ascension Order, and without the restraint of the Empire Center, the Ascenders whose minds were affected by the void It quickly transformed into an independent warlord and began endless melee."

"The warriors of the gods fell one after another in this millennium-long war, and the remaining ascendants were finally sealed by the design of the protoss."

"Thus, the age of Shurima is completely over."

"A new human empire rose in the northern continent of Valoran, and the Shurima who lost their empire eventually regressed back to the primitive slavery tribal era."

Azir remained silent.

Families die, empires fall, and people perish.Everything he cared about is gone.

It was unbearable, but there were no tears in Azir's eyes.His ascension form no longer has this simple function of expressing sadness.

"Then..." Azir suddenly looked excitedly at Sivir not far away: "What about her?"

He could feel that Sivir was his surviving blood.It was the only thing he had left in this world.

"Anyone else?" he murmured.

"No more." Sivir answered in person.

3000 years was too far away for a mortal like her.

She was completely watching the performance of her ancestors with the mentality of watching the excitement.

"All my parents and relatives died at the hands of desert bandits." Sivir said very bluntly: "And Your Majesty the Emperor, the 'noble bloodline' you left me did not help me to avoid hunger when I was wandering. "

"." Azir's heart ached.

He didn't expect that the only bloodline he passed down, his descendants, would live such a purgatory life.

"Tell me the names of those desert bandits. I will kill them and avenge you!" He looked deeply at Sivir, as if trying to make up for something.

"Haha." Sivir didn't appreciate it at all: "I have already avenged this revenge myself. How can I use you, a dead man?"

Azir's heart was stabbed severely again.

It was only then that he finally saw clearly what kind of doom Xerath had brought him, his family, and his empire with a nudge from behind.

"Ze! La! Si!" He turned his head and looked at his good brother angrily.

"Why?" Azir asked angrily, "I regard you as a brother, why did you treat me like this?!"

Ke Xerath remained silent.

"Speak up, Xerath!"

"I" Xerath was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I have nothing to say."

As he said that, he glanced at Li Wei and Jana who were guarding against him, and his gloomy body that had suffered heavy injuries in the battle.

Xerath knew that he could not escape.

It was sealed for 3000 years, and was beaten by the void as soon as it came out.Not only did the hard-earned power not allow him to realize any of his ambitions, but instead made him passively become the main force in the resistance.

All the dominance, hatred and ambitions were all wiped out in this ridiculous way in an instant.

Thus, Xerath finally let go of his twisted obsessions of 3000 years, and accepted his ending frankly: "Do it."

"Anyway, you saved my life, so I should give it back to you now."

He didn't want to argue, and he didn't want to beg for mercy.

After all, if Azir hadn't risked his life to save him just now, he would be dead now.

"You" Xerath wanted to die so hard, Azir couldn't do it.

"Why? Why exactly!" He stubbornly wanted an answer.

Then, Azir quickly thought of the rift between himself and Xerath before that disaster happened.

Xerath was eager to free the slaves after he took the throne.For this reason, he even did not hesitate to presume and offend several times, and had disputes with him.

He refused to let go in order to keep it secret.Later, in order to make Xerath calm down and not make things worse, he even pretended to be indifferent and said something like this in front of Xerath: "You are just a slave, you should remember your position."

Everything makes sense.

After that conflict, Xerath never mentioned the abolition of slavery.

He seemed to have become the most obedient courtier of the emperor.

But he was no longer his friend, his good brother.

"You betrayed me because." Azir widened his eyes in pain: "I 'betrayed' you?"

He finally realized how ridiculous the source of this tragedy was.

If he hadn't been so assertive and self-centered at the time, and would have communicated more with Xerath...maybe none of this would have happened.

"Yes." Xerath finally spoke: "Is it so difficult to communicate?"

"But why don't you tell me the truth? Are you worried that I will leak the secret? But I am your 'brother', abolishing slavery is our common ideal, and you can see my ability. Don't tell me, you can't even trust me ?”

Of course not.

The truth is: "Azir, subconsciously, you are still treating me as a slave and yourself as my master!"

"Even if you're a brother, you're still the big brother who says nothing - so you think you can make all the decisions alone, so you don't bother to reveal even a little bit of information to me!"

"I" Azir was speechless.

Because he realized that what Xerath said was true.It was his arrogance and arrogance that deepened the gap between the two.

"But, but you shouldn't either." Azir's heart ached.

".Yes. I made a bigger mistake." Xerath let out a long breath: "But what's the point of saying this now? The big mistake has already been made, and nothing can be undone."

As he spoke, he walked under Azir's golden spear in relief: "Kill me, Azir."

"." Azir fell into a painful tangle.

Reason told him he should kill Xerath.This sinner deserves death.

but
"How should I deal with him?" Azir looked at Levi blankly.

Li Wei is not his courtier, or even has nothing to do with him, but this guy is the only one he can ask for advice now.

"I suggest the death penalty." Li Wei's answer was straightforward.

He has no intention of judging an ancient man 3000 years ago from modern moral and legal concepts.

After all, if one is to judge strictly by the values ​​of the leader. Azir, Nasus, Renekton and others count as one, but they are all Class A war criminals who actively launched aggressive wars and were shot a hundred times. Not enough imperialists.

It's just that the enemy of the void is now, out of the need of the united front, Li Wei doesn't want to pursue their past.

But even if we put aside these conflicts of values, and don't use modern laws to conduct a trial beyond time and space, judging from the actual pros and cons and the value of the united front, Xerath should be damned.

"He's dangerous." Li Wei didn't know if Xerath could really let go of his ambition and hatred.

Anyway, that Xerath from the original world line is definitely a dangerous person.

He backstabbed his good brother and brainwashed Renekton.After breaking free from the seal, he was still doggedly hunting down Sivir, trying to destroy the last bloodline of Azir.

"If you keep him, he may seek revenge from you in the future." Li Wei said: "Now the void is our common enemy, and Shurima, which has been chaotic for thousands of years, urgently needs to restore order."

"The rebuilding of Shurima is imminent. The more this happens, the sooner we have to eliminate any possibility of civil strife."

In the original world line, Azir was resurrected for a full ten years, but failed to complete the unification of the Shurima region.The north shore of Shurima is still occupied by Noxus, while the south is slowly encroached by the Order of the Prophets.

The Order of the Prophets said otherwise.The third-line garrison of the Noxus colony on the north shore has no reason to stop an ascended person.

Li Wei speculates that a large part of this is definitely due to Xerath's containment of him.

Azir couldn't even solve the civil strife, so naturally he couldn't unify the continent and restore order.

so.
"We can't let the tiger go back to the mountain." Li Wei said.Although Janna's strength is no longer intimidating to Xerath, he can cause trouble after all.

"He's right." Xerath actually echoed.

He really didn't want to live anymore: "Azir, what are you hesitating about? I betrayed you and ruined everything about you! It's me! Why are you still hesitating?!"

The more Azir hesitated, the more Xerath wanted to die.

"You idiot!"

As he spoke, he unexpectedly raised his hand to condense a light blade, stabbing at his magic core without hesitation.

"Wait!" Azir subconsciously manipulated the yellow sand, firmly subduing Xerath.

"Xerath." He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "You can't die yet."

"It would be too easy to just let you die like this."

"Azir" Xerath looked at the pain in the eyes of his former best friend, and his emotions became more complicated.

And Azir asked after pondering: "General Renekton, what's going on?"

The two brothers here are still chatting, but the two brothers over there have already started fighting.

The empire was once a model representative of brothers and sisters, but now he is about to punch out his dog's brains.

"Xerath, what have you done?"

"It was I who used witchcraft to distort his will in order to retaliate against him and Nasus for sealing me." Zeras admitted frankly: "He is now crazy."

"You" Azir felt unfamiliar with Xerath's ruthlessness.

"Haha." Xerath laughed at himself.

Back then, Azir was able to change from the least favored prince to the supreme emperor, and he did a lot of secret work behind the scenes.

Since then, Xerath has been an unscrupulous schemer.

"This is the real me."

"Azir, you think too much of me."

"." Azir was silent for a while before he said, "Then can you undo the witchcraft on General Renekton?"

"It can, but it can't." Xerath shook his head.

Renekton didn't go mad because he didn't get rid of the witchcraft, he had been permanently affected by the witchcraft.

It is easy to drive people crazy, but it is difficult to cure them.

"The most I can do is use witchcraft to soothe Renekton's spirit and make him quieter. As for whether he can recover in the future, it's up to him."

"Then do it." Azir said, "I want you to heal General Renekton as best you can."

"The Shurima Empire is now in ruins, and the forces of the void have made a comeback. At this time, the power of every god warrior is precious."

"This..." Xerath was slightly taken aback.

He could tell that Azir wanted to spare his life.

"You won't kill me?" Xerath said with a complicated tone, "Don't forget what I did to you."

"I know!" Azir clenched his fists tightly.

The tragic scenes restored by the phantom of the yellow sand surrounded his eyes all the time.

Xerath had a blood feud with him.But the relationship between him and Xerath was far more than just enemies.

"Letting you die like this is too cheap for you!" Azir gritted his teeth and said, "I will ask Grand Maester Nasus to seal your power, let you live on, and then use the rest of your life to live forever atone for your evil deeds!"

"No matter 100 years, 1000 years, or 1 years, you will never be free again!"

Azir delivered his final verdict as Emperor.

He sentenced Xerath to a life-long labor camp with no upper limit, which LeBlanc would cry with sympathy for.

"Xerath, I withdraw my pardon for you."

"You are no longer my brother, nor a citizen of the Empire."

With that said, Azir paused slightly.He looked at the unrecognizable Xerath, and the boy who pursued his ideals with him back then quietly appeared in his mind.

He did not forget that ideal.

He promised Xerath that he would make slavery a thing of the past in Shurima.

"From now on, you will always be my slave—"

"This new Shurima Empire, the only slave."

"Azir" Xerath was slightly taken aback.

Then he almost choked up.But he obviously no longer has a physical body, and he will no longer cry.

Then, Xerath withdrew all his strength.He is willing to accept the seal and put on the shackles of atonement for himself.

He knelt on the ground: "Yes, my master."

　A little bit of a cough today.No way, I'm the worst at describing emotions.This chapter is really difficult to write_(:з」∠)_
