The sound of heavy footsteps drew everyone's eyes to the huge solar disk.

He was more than three meters tall, his obsidian skin reflected in the sun's rays, and a majestic jackal head looked straight ahead, slamming with the end of his axe every two steps.

The arrival of the Abyss undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Imperial Palace, and it was none other than the University Scholar Nasus.

"Give you water and shade." Jeno stepped out of the crowd and gave up.

Nasus changed his hand to take the tomahawk, wrapped his other arm around his chest and placed it on his shoulder, leaned over slightly, opened his sharp mouth and spat out the words that were so round that all the living Shurima people were ashamed: "Give you water and shade."

This time Nasus was no longer wrapped up as a leper, and he no longer hid himself in desert legends, but showed his strong body in the glory of Shurima.

Jeno looked up at him, and suddenly felt that the other party's size was more oppressive than the last time they met.

"Your Excellency, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to have gotten taller...... Can you still grow taller? ”

"Basking in the glow of the sun's disc, the power of ascension is replenished, and there is no need to be surprised." Nasus looked up, looked away from Jeno, glanced at the rest of the group, and nodded slightly at the sight of Rhy.

Reze had been aided by Nasus, when he alarmed the giant golem guards when he retrieved the world runes from Shurima's tomb, and the two worked together to escape. In this way, the two still have a comrade-in-arms friendship in it.

As for why Nasus wanted to help him, it was because he knew the dangers of the world runes but didn't stop the rune war, so he felt guilty and helped him.

He admired Reiz's greatness, greater than him. Nasus walks the world to restore Shurima's glory, and Ryze to the entire Runeterra.

Finally, Nasus looked at Sarah, who took two steps back under the pressure of his gaze. What did Nasus do, just sniffed twice in the air, and then frowned, "What about the daughter of the desert?" Didn't I come with you? ”

"Nope." Jeno knew he was referring to Sivir, and Sarah had a slight smell of Sivir on her body.

"You didn't send her back, what are you here for?" Nasus asked.

"We've come to you to discuss the matter of Calixe." Jeno wondered why Nasus had such an idea, perhaps because it was next to the solar disk?

"Calixe?" Nasus's voice suddenly raised, "Sea of Bones? ”

Calixeh is located northwest of Acacia, a desert bordering the lost Gobi.

The people of Shurima in the north call Kariksei "the sea of bones", but this is a mistranslation. "Sai" in the local dialect Rai refers to plains of sand and gravel, making walking slow and painful.

It means that the land is already covered with tunnels. It means that Axy is here to hunt. It means that death is lurking beneath the gravel.

"Yes, we want Shurima to send someone to help us clean up Calixe." Jeno replied.

"That's a no-go zone! Beneath that desert lurks countless Axes. Nasus said in a warning tone.

Although "Plug" is wrong, "bones" is not wrong.

Standing at the top of the Khalikse Dunes, you can look down on the bones of the gods. The gods in the eyes of mortals are the warriors of the gods and the ascendants like Nasus. Even the Ascended would die there, so you can imagine how terrifying that place was.

"What's wrong with the Void creatures? Isn't that the territory of Shurima? Doesn't His Majesty Azir want to take it back? ”

"Of course, Your Majesty wants to reclaim all the territory lost by Shurima, so that the glory of the solar disk can spread to every land of Shurima." In the face of Jeno's aggressiveness, Nasus did not back down. It's just that as a military advisor, Nasus understands that this is not so easy to do: "But our strength is limited, and the great Shurima has a sequential order of recovery, and Calixei was put last by us. ”

"How's Shurima doing now?" Jeno was curious.

Nasus didn't answer, but turned and walked towards the palace from which he came.

"Let Your Majesty tell you about this situation in person."

……

Ten guards, dressed in majestic cloaks and covered with golden armor, stood guard on both sides of the grand entrance of the main hall. They held sharp spears in their hands, and the tips of their spears shone brightly in the sunlight, piercing into the sky.

Led by Nasus, several people walked into the main hall in turn.

The main hall is huge and deep, but empty. Jeno imagined the temple full of ascendants, and only such a large space could accommodate hundreds of ascendants at the same time

The open avenue stretched from the doorway to the base of the throne, and as the gaze climbed the steps, a tall figure could be seen on the golden throne in front of the sun totem.

The heavily armed emperor was dressed from head to toe in golden armor, with a jewel as bright as a spring sky in the center of the armor on his chest. The shoulders are carved in the shape of unfolded wings, and a tawny dust cloak and two pairs of crimson streamers with gold trim hang from them. His muscular legs were not human legs, but the anti-arthropods of an eagle. One of the hands was holding a huge scepter, the tip of which was attached to the tip of a heavy spear, which was shining with a golden light.

The beak-like helmet blocked the emperor's face, but it couldn't stop the pale glow of the rising sun in his eyes, and it was the sun-drenched eyes that made Jeno notice him at a glance in the empty hall. He could feel a terrible power hidden under the opponent's armor, and everyone should fear him and submit to his feet.

"Your Majesty." Nasus knelt down on one knee at the front of the steps as a sign of loyalty. The others, led by Jeno, bowed down and saluted.

"No courtesy." Azir waved generously and stepped down from his throne. His steps were large, spanning five steps in one step, and he seemed to have adapted to his blessed new body.

"What?"

Nasus stood up, and in a loud voice relayed Jeno's intentions to Azir. The communication between the two giants was oppressive, and Sarah could feel her breath being squeezed out of her chest.

After Nasus finished speaking, he consciously retreated, and Azir took a haughty posture and sprinkled a handful of yellow sand, and then ordered the sand and dust under his feet to rise with the wind, creating a sand table representing the entire Shurima continent, and a city with a golden disc suspended in the sky stood in the middle of the sand table.

"Pretty precise, the oasis of dawn I just saw from above is like this." Jeno compared the map in his mind and commented casually.
