Chapter 359: True Kingship
The name 'Zelas' was given to a slave by me in violation of the law, meaning 'one who knows how to share'. At that time, slaves were not allowed to have a name, so to protect him, I never said it in public. Privately, I treated Zelath as my own, but when I was about to succeed, I took my land and everything. And I've vowed to take it all back! ”
Azir's narration is so captivating that several sand thieves are hooked before they know it.
"The story is well told, but what can you do alone?"
"Alone?" Azir seemed to hear the funniest thing in the world, and began to laugh wildly.
His laughter was struck by the sandstorm, and the high-speed flying gravel kept the sand thieves from opening their eyes, and it was only when Azir's wild laughter died down that they could open their eyes.
Then they saw an unbelievable scene - the sandstorm suddenly stopped, and the yellow sand scattered all over the sky was sprinkled one after another, and suddenly stopped in the air, gathering into a group of ancient soldiers who were waiting in battle, and surrounded them heavily.
In the panic, they saw that the encirclement of the sand soldiers had spread all the way to the sky, and the number was so large that it was breathless. The sand soldiers were motionless like stone sculptures, but they gave several people a sense of oppression.
"I ask you, does the sun fear solitude?" Azir had completely stopped his haughty laughter and replaced it with a grim tone.
At this moment, the morning sun rose over the sand dunes in the east, and the morning glow reflected on Azir's immaculate golden armor, making him as invisible to him as the sun.
"I've never been alone." Azir raised his hand, and countless sand soldiers raised their spears and pierced into the sunlight, the tips of which reflected golden light.
"My sun, my emperor, please don't kill me!" A few sand thieves pleaded bitterly.
But this is impossible, Azir's bosom is already filled with anger, and there is no room for these lowly and depraved lives.
"Too much sunlight can burn people's eyes." Azir waved his hand suddenly, and countless sand soldiers carried out his orders in unison.
After a few moments, the sand soldiers all dissipated, and a few more mutilated corpses appeared at his feet.
But there was one man who survived, and this man was a mute. Looking at Azir, who was still calm and compelled towards him after killing people, he could only scream, he could only frantically climb the blood-stained sand under his feet, and clutched a handful of sand tightly in his hand. But this only made him seem more scared and embarrassed.
"You're such a good mime actor who wants to protect yourself with a handful of sand after seeing me? It's laughable. Azir stopped before the remaining sand pirates, who looked unusually tall from the sand pirates' point of view due to the backlight.
Although he is a Flying Emperor, his body size is no different from that of a normal person, not as tall and strong as other Celestial warriors. But size does not mean strength, because of blood and chance, what Azir has obtained from the solar disk is more powerful than ever, far surpassing every previous ascender.
"Do you know why I killed them?" After saying this, Azir suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and asked himself: "My elders are not like me, and you have to ask for advice before killing a." ”
Hearing the latter words, the mute sand thief was so frightened that he immediately shook his head wildly.
"Because they said that name, they all had to die, and you, thankfully, your mother didn't give you the tools to spread lies."
The dumb sobbed and nodded frantically.
"Now it's time to show your faithfulness to Shurima, and the process of atonement is simple. I ask, you answer, and if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then go and be with them. ”
Isn't that embarrassing him? How can this make the dumb man speak and answer?
But when he saw that the yellow sand behind Azir suddenly rioted, engulfing the scarred corpses extremely quickly, he knew that this was a dilemma, and he had to desperately agree.
"You were sent by that traitor? Did he really claim the throne on the borders of the empire? ”
The mute shook his head frantically, and then nodded heavily.
"Hmph, it seems that you are determined to go against me!"
Azir's displeasure made the mute's eyes widen in horror, and he shook his head frantically while tears broke out of the corners of his eyes, and only after he realized that this sentence was not said to him, did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
"Are you wandering aimlessly? Or do you want to take the refuge with that traitor? Azir asked.
The mute shook his head and nodded.
"What good did he promise you?"
This question made it difficult for the mute, but fortunately he didn't know a few words like the other illiterate sand thieves.
He used his fingers to mark the words "Eat and drink, money, women, haven...... and on the sand.
"Vulgar!" Azir scoffed: "A slave is a slave, and he can only think of this kind of thing to buy people's hearts." ”
Although there are many angry words in this sentence, this increasingly strange Zelas makes Azir start to disgust it from the bottom of his heart.
"Get on your horse and take me to his hiding place."
Even as a member of the royal family, Azir did not travel to every part of the empire during his lifetime, let alone thousands of years later, everything has changed dramatically.
Piltover was a strange place to him, and it was inevitable that he needed someone to show him the way and introduce him.
Moreover, he is going to war, and as a general, it is very necessary to spend time and learn more about the unknown battlefield.
The mute quickly mounted his horse, and after a few paces, he began to whip his horse fast, in a vain attempt to escape from Azir's grasp.
But when he looked back after a wild run, Azir was still following him with ease, the sand under his feet carrying him forward like a surfer on the waves, and the other man was still watching him with cold eyes. Desperate, he finally learned to behave, slowed down and stopped trying to escape.
The long run in the sun made the dumb man feel thirsty and tired, but he couldn't say it and didn't dare to say it.
However, he found that Azir was not in a hurry to get to Piltover, did not walk in a straight line but always meandered, and stopped near the Mother of Life, then crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand and rubbed it, as if to explore the geology?
But then the dumb man felt that he had thought too simply, and just ran to the river to take a sip of water, and he witnessed the wrath of the desert summoned by Azir!
As the earth shook and the mountains shook, summoned demons crawled out of the sinking sandfall and stood silently in front of Azir, fighting again thousands of years later to defend the glory of Shurima.
Azir's strange actions were actually to find the location of the ancient tombs, and the true emperor would naturally be supported by the administrators of the region wherever he went, even if they had been dead for many years.
He spread his hands and flew onto the shoulders of a giant golem, and the scepter in his hand pointed at the city, and the golem army marched towards the east under his command, and behind them, there were more mausoleum guards and golems, which sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Azir inspected his army majestically, shouting to the end of the horizon in a noncommittal tone:
"Zeroth, did you see that? This! It's the real kingship! ”
