To be honest, Rhodes didn't actually intend to be full of ridicule at the beginning - although in his opinion, Azir was a bit poor in his hands, but at least he had a solid way of thinking about Shurima, and he looked like a capable guy.

If he could, Rhodes would be happy to work with such people.

It's a pity that arrogance ruined everything.

Arrogance is not pride - Rhodes himself is a proud man, and his great power makes him naturally different from ordinary people, in this case, pride is simply a normal situation, in Rhodes' point of view, pride means "you are both brothers, so as long as you do your job, I can lead you to lie down and win".

But...... Arrogance is different.

In the eyes of the arrogant, everyone else is a younger brother, and it is useless, and only by going to 1V9 can you reflect your unique value.

It was this arrogance that led Azir to choose his own ascension in the face of Shurima's stubborn illness - he did not trust the Ascendants, and even lacked respect for those who were countless older than himself, he believed only in himself, only to suffer a pitiful betrayal at the last moment.

When Azir's innate and high-minded arrogance seemed to be substantively expressed, Rhodes finally couldn't help but say a few words, and in the face of Rod's sarcasm, Azir naturally couldn't be indifferent.

The Yellow Sand Soldier suddenly appeared, and two strong-looking guys strode up to Rod's side, stretching out their arms as if to set up the outrageous bastard.

Well, Azir was in a good mood today, and he decided to throw this babbling bastard out of nowhere.

However, the moment the two yellow sand soldiers touched Rod, a palpitation of déjà vu appeared—the colic in his chest made Azir's brain frightened at this moment, and he opened his eyes a little dazedly, but he could barely see anything.

"It's ...... you"

Halfway through the words, Azir's body had already softened, and the whole person was no longer in high spirits before, and could only stand on the ground in a dejected manner.

Seeing this scene, the guards around the Desert Emperor naturally rushed up, but unfortunately these strong mortals were no longer in Rhodes' eyes at this time, just waved their hands, and Azir's guards were all frozen in place.

"Now, let me introduce myself." Rhodes looked around at the incapacitated people around him, and finally slowed down his speech, "My name is Rhodes, the new emperor of Shurima. ”

……………………

Most people don't buy Rod's self-introduction, but unfortunately because they were frozen in place by Rod, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't show it.

And Azir, the only one who wasn't frozen by Rhodes...... He was now on the verge of shock.

"You...... Who are you? Holding on to his breath, Azir reluctantly spoke, "I've never seen you. ”

"I am the new emperor of Shurima." Rhodes blinked, his tone full of legitimacy, "Someone who can lead Shurima into a new era." ”

“……”

"Don't stare at me like that, I really didn't lie to you." Seeing that Azir looked like he was about to be angry, Rhodes also spread his hands helplessly, "Since you have completed the ascension ceremony, you must keep your ascension promise - I have heard that you promised at the ascension ceremony that you would achieve the revival of Shurima." ”

“……”

"So you have to unite under my command, and only I can revive Shurima."

Azir blinked hard - he thought of what Nasus had mentioned about the Darkspawn, and suddenly figured out the joints.

In other words, this guy in front of him has been recognized by the Law of Ascension, and is the person who "can lead Shurima to revival"?

And his heart palpitations and colic are the same as those dark descendants, who broke their oath of ascension, and only then did they suffer the punishment of the law of ascension?

This?!

Azir was distraught, he instinctively wanted to deny all this, but found that at least logically, there was nothing wrong with Rod's statement - he had always naturally thought that he was the savior of Shurima, but he never imagined that there would be an outsider who was recognized by the Law of Ascension!

"You...... Despicably deceived ...... The Law of Ascension! Azir struggled to resist the colics brought by the law of ascension, and stared at Rhodes in front of him viciously, "You...... Shameless! ”

"Don't kid yourself." Rhodes shook his head and looked at the weak Azir in front of him with pity, "Shurima is far more than what you are staring at, when the Law of Ascension was born, whether it was the Khalise or the Kumangu Rainforest, those were the areas of the Shurima Empire, and I ...... It's just a trivial little thing there. ”

Seeing an abnormal blush on Azir's pale face, Rhodes finally pursed his lips.

"Admit it, Azir, the time when Shurima belonged to you is over."
