Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2255: Chatty Talia

Lin Jiu went to great lengths to brainwash Nasus, not because he valued his fighting ability, but because he valued his brain. Sivir grew up in the desert and later became a mercenary without formal training. After the establishment of the Empire of the Sun, she was unable to help Lin Jiu with the affairs. Lin Jiu wanted to be a hands-off boss and had no time to teach Sivir, so Nasus was needed at this time.

Compared to Nasus's military strength, his brain is the most important. He is a famous scholar in Shurima, who attaches great importance to the inheritance of knowledge and history. He specially built a library, but it was destroyed.

Nasus's intelligence was evident at a young age, when few would have thought he would be chosen to become one of the Ascended. He was a voracious scholar, memorizing and critiquing the greatest works of Shuriman history and philosophy before he was ten years old.

When he was old enough to attend, Nasus entered the exclusive Academy of the Sun. He had the best teachers and developed a keen understanding of military strategy and war logistics, eventually becoming the youngest general in history. Although he was also an outstanding soldier, his combat talent was not in charging into battle, but in planning and strategizing.

It would be fine if he hadn't met him, but now there was someone who could let him be a hands-off boss and help him teach Sivir. How could Lin Jiu not bring Nasus to his side? It was easy to win over Nasus. You wouldn't want the first emperor of the newly established Shurima Empire to have no talent as a ruler, right?
Just kidding, because of Nasus's experience, it was not difficult for Lin Jiu to PUA. During the last ascension ceremony, the sun disc was drained of its power by Xerath's sorcery. After it collapsed, all the surviving god warriors felt that their immortal hearts lacked the illumination of the sun disc.

The holy waters that flowed from the city's oasis dried up, and Shurima fell into death and famine. For a time afterwards, other Ascended beings tried to hold together the shattered empire.

But Nasus did not. He lived in complete seclusion, always bearing a heavy sense of guilt. He quietly wandered in the empty ruins, watching the desert gradually swallow up the traces of his homeland, mourning everything that was gone. For hundreds of years, Nasus had completely forgotten his past life and meaning.

It is unlikely that Nasus will be loyal to Azir forever without any barriers. After all, when the sun disk sank from the sky, the empire built over hundreds of years was destroyed in an instant. Everything was due to the ambition of one person and the hatred of another person. In other words, Azir had a "contribution" to the fall of the Shurima Empire.

Lin Jiu gave him a new meaning of life as the Son of the Sun, so Nasus naturally joined them without resistance. As for the remaining Taliyah, Lin Jiu also tricked her into joining the team... ahem, attracted her to join the team.

The temptation of becoming a "founding hero" of the new Shurima Empire is not something that everyone can resist, at least Taliyah, a Shurima, cannot resist. And this does not conflict with her purpose of returning to Shurima.

Taliyah was born in the rocky foothills of Shurima, bordering the sinister shadow of Icathia. To many outsiders, Shurima is little more than a barren expanse of sand, but her family raised her to be a daughter of the desert, to let her truly appreciate the rich beauty of this land.

She had been traveling as a wandering mage. When she heard that the emperor who had died for countless epochs had been reborn, she decided to return to her hometown to protect her people from being engulfed by the sandstorm of Shurima.

Although Taliyah is not strong enough now, she has great potential. The magic power she controls is the power of elements, and her affinity with the earth element is very high. Unfortunately, whether it is the trip to Noxus or her teacher Yasuo, they only help her master this power initially, and Yasuo cannot help her master it more deeply.

After Lin Jiu and his group left, the news of the Son of the Sun's appearance spread rapidly from Vikora to the outside world, causing the number of Shurimans flocking to Nerimage to surge again. For Lin Jiu, this was all good news, as every Shuriman who believed in the sun was an excellent warrior resource.

Even without the Sun Fire Emblem Totem, Lin Jiu could rely on his Legion Flow buff skills and the title of Lord of Jiuli to quickly raise a legion that could compete with the armies of other forces. And with the addition of the Sun Fire Emblem Totem and the foundation of the Sun Faith, the Sun Legion would be formed much faster.

There are three more people in the team, a wounded soldier, a scholar, and a chatterbox. Taliyah is not only a person who has a million questions, but also a chatterbox. She is the one who talks the most during this journey. However, Taliyah's words are not all nonsense. Most of what she says is about the news of Noxus.

Noxus can be said to be the biggest enemy since the establishment of the Solar Empire. Noxus, which hopes to expand by military means, absolutely does not want to see a unified regime emerge on the land of Shurima and will definitely take action to stop it.

In Taliya's tribe, shepherding and weaving are the mainstream occupations, especially weaving. When children grow up to a certain age, they will dance to the symbol of the weaving mother: a full moon.

This dance is to celebrate the children's talents and also foreshadow the contributions they will make to the tribe when they grow up. After the dance, each child will become an apprentice to a master, which is the starting point of their personal practice.

Taliyah saw no one who could teach her how to control the surging elemental forces. She knew that if she stayed with the tribe, she would be risking their lives. So, despite everyone's pain, Taliyah said goodbye to her parents and tribe members and set out on a long journey alone.

As Taliyah traveled westward, she met a group of Noxians. She tricked Taliyah, who had grown up in a tribe of mutual trust and was simple-minded and unsuspecting, into Noxus.

For a Taliyah in the desert, the crowded and complicated political relations in the capital of Noxus undoubtedly made her feel suffocated. Taliyah was paraded through the magic groups of Noxus like a parade.

Finally, she was taken out to sea by a Noxian officer and was abandoned on the deck without hesitation. After experiencing hardships, Taliyah met the mentor who controlled the wind element with a sword.

Because of her experience in Noxus, she has some understanding of this country, so she shared her understanding and concerns about Noxus with Lin Jiu and others.

There was nothing to worry about in Noxus, but Lin Jiu was curious about the current situation of Hextech in the Twin Cities and the Glorious Church of Victor. On the cold weapon battlefield, the threat of Hextech was still quite large.

The magic crystals in the Shurima Desert are the main raw materials for the production of Hextech, and those nobles naturally cannot sit back and watch the rise of a unified empire. At that time, the Solar Empire will face pressure from all sides, and the former emperor of the Shurima Empire may also become an obstacle. After all, Azir's character is extremely conceited, and he may not be able to accept the Solar Empire replacing the Shurima Empire like Nasus did.

The problem is not big. For Lin Jiu, the main threats in Rune Continent are still demigods, star spirits, and the Dragon King who is unknown whether he has escaped or not.
