Ionia has just reached spring, and the water temperature is not too cold now.

If it weren't for the sudden invasion of Noxus, it would have been another bird-songling, vibrant spring.

Yasuo gently lowered the shakuhachi, the sake jug, and the bamboo tube, inserted his sword on the spot, and jumped into a small river with his clothes on the ground, standing on the shallow cobblestone riverbed, washing his bloodstained weapons, clothes, and body.

He untied his hair and took the stream and poured it over his head until the stream completely drenched his shaggy black hair, and his bare upper body revealed strong muscle outlines and scars full of stories after the lead had faded.

His hands could not be washed clean, just like the sins he had committed could not be washed away, and the earthy callus skin made his fingers look a little thick, all of which were the marks left by holding the sword.

Yasuo then took off his shoulder armor and washed it, then his pants, and Jeno pulled Taliya to avoid it, because it was a sin to let an underage girl watch a greasy uncle take a bath, and it would be unbalanced.

After coming to a fairly thick maple tree that was large enough to block his view, Jeno tightened his throat and asked solemnly:

"Taliyah, what has happened between you since you returned to Shurima from Piltover?"

Jeno had always wondered what had happened to Shurima when Azir had returned to the throne as emperor.

He had heard the news of the spies, but he always felt that it would be more intuitive for the desert people to tell him about the changes in their lives.

"If you talk about what happened after His Majesty Azir came to power, it would be too much, and I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights." Taliyah had a few pebbles she had picked up from the river in her hand, and replied as she played around with them.

"I probably know about your situation, so let's talk about what Azir has done, and Sivir's situation."

To be honest, Jeno had been worried about the consequences of the escape for him, or for the Philos family, or even for Piltover.

Sivir is not unpretty, according to the aesthetics of the Shurima people, she is definitely a first-class beauty. But he was so face-saving to Azir that he feared it would likely break off the already fragile alliance between the two, and it would sting Sivir's self-esteem.

Think about it from another angle, even if it is the words of the matchmaker of your parents, you will be angry when you meet a blind date, even if you don't want to go on a blind date.

This doesn't make sense.

"I remember that it has been several months since His Majesty Azir reclaimed the throne, and the Oasis of Dawn has not yet reached a quarter of its occupancy, and the flow of people is less than half of that of the time of the total victory, according to the data that His Excellency told me."

Taliyah stopped fiddling with the pebbles and crossed her fingers thoughtfully.

"How so? Are people afraid of Azir? Jeno was surprised.

This is part of the reason, but most people don't really care about who is in power, and Shurima should be unified, and it is expected that someone with a strong voice will come forward. But the Oasis of Dawn is, after all, a city that rises from the sand—some fear that if it can rise, it will sink again, burying all those who stay in it; Therefore, even our Majeness Azir has a tolerant attitude, and not many tribes are willing to live in this old city for a long time. ”

In fact, there are some reasons why Taliyah forgot to mention that the reason why people refused to stay in the Oasis of Dawn was that they thought the city would be "haunted"!

Whenever the sunlight hits the solar disk above the city at a certain angle, and then refracts it in the streets and alleys of the city, it will trigger some phantoms formed by yellow sand, replaying the suffering suffered in life.

The figure formed by the sand and dust pointed to the solar disk in the distance, and the joy on his face gradually turned to fear. People opened their mouths and let out silent screams. They turned and fled, stumbling and crawling. In the end, it was instantly obliterated by an invisible energy, turned into dust and disappeared with the wind.

It was an echo of the magic that emanated from the sun's disc, and the gravel recorded the havoc that had taken place in the land, and although it did not cause any harm and only a few breaths, it was enough to scare away the foolish people who were timid and listened to the wind and rain.

After all, no one wants to live in a dangerous place.

Azir didn't have a good solution to this, he couldn't monitor the energy level of the solar disk all day, there were only three Ascendants in the city, and he and Nasus and Renekton everyone had endless things to do.

Unless a suitable person is found to reorganize the temple and hand over the solar disc to the priests, this "haunting" phenomenon will continue.

"Then, except for a few cities in the north that were occupied by Noxus, most of the cities and tribes did not immediately submit to His Majesty Azir, they were all watching, although His Majesty Azir was angry, but before developing a human army to defend the city, he could not personally go out to recover these cities."

Taliyah's thick brown eyebrows were almost wrinkled, in fact, she didn't want to see war, but the era of Shurima's scattered sand had lasted too long, this should have been a strong country, if a small sacrifice could be exchanged for unity and stability, she would definitely raise her hands in favor.

Jeno nodded, he understood that even if Azir had left the Garden of Dawn unguarded, he would come to Piltover to crusade against Zelas, because Zeroth's existence had already endangered the entire Shurima, and he had to fight against all odds.

Now that he only needs to stick to the Oasis of Dawn, it will only be a matter of time before Shurima is unified, so he is not in such a hurry to recover the city.

"Ahem, that's all for Shurima's current situation, Azir seems to have a long way to go, but it is foreseeable that his future is bright."

Jeno had heard that Azir had asked Nasus to buy some Hextech blueprints from Leather City at a high price, and had hired a group of professionals to transform them into a new solar-powered technology that combined with the magic of Gulshurima.

For example, there are few places in Picheng to use the means of transportation, elevators and other technologies that are convenient for travel, and in terms of medical treatment, there is a fountain of life, which is just left to the Sun Temple to manage.

These are to improve the convenience of all aspects of life of the residents of the royal capital, and to enhance the sense of belonging, happiness and superiority, so that these future generations can live in this empty city in peace, after all, only by developing the population can they do other things.

But even modding it wasn't that easy, and Nasus had to learn Hextech before he could modify it. Due to the large equipment that was modified, Renekton, a bare-pole general with no soldiers, was often called by Nasus to work as a coolie while training new soldiers.
