Chapter 1282: Shurima City
Following the caravan to the point of this journey, standing outside the city of Shurima, Nami looked at the oval-shaped walls of this ancient city and let out a heartfelt sigh.
"It's just ...... It's too big! ”
Although she grew up in the vast sea, when Nami saw the walls of Shurima Castle, she couldn't help but feel the size of the city.
Nami has been to many places, but in terms of area, whether it is the important port of Demacia, the city of White Cliffs, or the port of Longmen in Noxus, or the long history of Nashramin and Karamanda, no matter which city, its area cannot be compared to the city of Shurima in front of her now.
Even if you look at the whole of Valoran, the only ones that may be comparable to the city of Shurima are the Twin Cities, the Immortal Fortress of Demacia, and Noxus—and even the capital of Ionia, Presidium, is a little less interesting.
Nami had never seen such a large man-made structure before, so she could barely close her mouth when she opened it - in this case, Azir naturally introduced the ancient city.
"This is Shurima City." In the procession to enter the city, Azir stretched out his hand and pointed to the city wall, "This is not something that mortals built with a load of earth and stones. ”
"That's?"
"The city of Shurima was built by the Ascended and other transcendents."
"Ascendant, I know." Nami blinked, "Then what did you say...... Who are the other transcendents? ”
"It's the Weaver Mother." "She is the ancestor and leader of the weavers, and the weavers were once part of the Shurima Empire. ”
"Ever?"
"It was." Azir nodded, "After the collapse of the empire, the weavers stayed in the Dasai Desert, although there is no clear statement, but ...... They were also detached from the Empire. ”
"Why is this happening?" Nami was obviously a little puzzled, "The Weaver Mother is powerful enough to build such a city, so why would she want to break away from the Empire?" ”
"Maybe it's because the empire is in decline." Azir shook his head and digressed the subject, "And after the city was built, the successive Shurima Emperors and the Ascended gave the city their blessings, and as long as the empire is not destroyed, the city will always be full of life and vitality. ”
As they spoke, the group walked onto the drawbridge, and Azir naturally pointed to the river flowing under the drawbridge.
"The water of the source here is the blessing of the Ascended."
Nami tilted her head slightly as she looked at the moat that could be seen.
"The water is clear, but ...... I always feel like something is missing. ”
“…… I don't know about that. Azir shook his head and confessed his ignorance, "After all...... For those who live in deserts, the study of water has always focused on one aspect. ”
"That aspect?"
"Enough or not enough."
"Hahahaha-"
Azir's sudden joke made Nami laugh, and for the mermaids who lived in the sea, this was actually a very cold joke but very funny.
In the midst of this conversation, Azir and Nami entered the city without any problems—although Azir was not good at illusions, his spells were not something that the few Volunteers guarding the city could see.
"Where are we going next?"
Following Azir to an inn to settle down, Nami finally dismantled the illusion for a while, and then lay comfortably in the bathtub - with a small spell, the warm bath water turned into cold, salty water.
In the small bathtub, Nami actually has a subtle, homely feeling.
"We need to visit a big guy." Azir couldn't help but smile as he looked at Nami, who was happily fluttering in the bathtub, "He is one of the few ascendants in the empire and the most knowledgeable person in this country - Mr. Nasus. ”
"You know Mr. Nasus?" Nami leaned on the edge of the tub with some excitement, "If that's the case...... Maybe we can get help from Shurima. ”
"Definitely." Azir's tone was unpretentious, "After all, Mr. Nasus and I have a pretty good relationship. ”
……………………
While Azir struggled to fool around for his new queen, Nasus was trying to bring his brother back to his senses.
Because Zelas is finished, the mental suggestion that Renekton has suffered has eased - his hostility towards Nasus seems to be less severe.
But...... Renekton's memory is still obviously missing, and his emotions have been terrifyingly irritable, if Nasus doesn't keep an eye on him, I'm afraid that the Desert Butcher will kill Shurima City directly.
It's just that things have gotten a lot better, and when the hostility is not too great, Nasus needs to spend a lot less energy to control Renekton, and for the rest of the part, I'm afraid that there is only time to cure Renekton, right?
Fortunately, the last thing that ascenders lack is time.
In this way, while keeping an eye on his brother's situation, Nasus took some time to organize his diary during this time—a detailed record of Nasus's experiences, which would become an important evidence of Shurima's history in the future, and it was Nasus's job to organize this information.
Then, just as Nasus had knocked Renekton unconscious, had just made himself a cup of tea, and spread out his notes, the servant suddenly knocked softly on the door of the study.
"What's the matter?"
Nasus frowned slightly—he was working right now, and he didn't mind being disturbed.
"The Emperor's crown is down."
Azir is coming?
Nasus was rather surprised—after he had dealt with Zelath, his attention was all on Renekton, and in his impression, Azir ...... Isn't Azir on his way to exterminate the sand thieves?
Why did you suddenly find yourself at this time?
Despite some doubts, Nasus put away his notes and rose to greet Azil.
Then, after Nasus met Azir, he had a rather subtle feeling in his heart.
This expression, this smile...... Nasus was all too familiar.
As a witness to Shurui's history, Nasus does not gossip, but he knows it very well.
Nasus knew all the more about some of the particular personal fetishes that Azir had under his crown.
Even...... In a coincidental situation, Nasus also played the role of a wingman - not that Nasus was not serious, but it was actually the royal inheritance that was also very important to Shurima, and Azir had a request, but Nasus had no angle to refuse.
Now, seeing Azil smile of déjà vu, Nasus subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Glancing at his unconscious brother who was tied up into a dumpling beside him, Nasus's heart suddenly felt a little sour at the moment.
