When I came to the tribe that Bai Qi had seen earlier, it was already evening, and when I got closer, I realized what kind of tribe it was? It's clearly a few broken tents, but because of the line of sight, it can't be seen from a distance, so it's seen as a small tribe. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Only two of these broken tents looked similar, and it didn't take much to think that they must be where Sivir and Ramos usually live.

In the evening, the three of them were also hungry, so they lit a fire in the open space outside the tent and chatted while having a barbecue.

Sivir: "Bai Qi, you can be honest, are you here to find treasure like us?" ”

Bai Qi wanted to cry without tears, "Eldest sister, how many times have you asked me since we met?" I swear I really wasn't here to find treasure! ”

Sivir cut down, "Pull it down, who believes it?" If you were to go from Freljord to Demacia, would you be able to get here? Who are you fooling? ”

Bai Qi touched his nose, "This, how to say it, anyway, I did come from Freljord, and I am indeed going to Demacia." As for why I'm here, hehe, to be honest, I don't even know what's going on myself. ”

Ramos: "Bai Qi said that you are really perverted, when I found you, you were still very injured, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, you are almost recovered." ”

Bai Qi laughed secretly, how quickly did I recover from my injuries? Of course, I'm a systematic person, and if I don't even have this special treatment, I'll be a fart!

After a while, the barbecue was cooked, and Bai Qi asked again while eating, "Sivir, tell me about this desert." ”

Sivir: "Okay, it's idle anyway, it's idle, and the name of this desert is Shurima........."

Later, Sivir explained the origin of this desert to Bai Qi in detail. This history also begins with the last emperor of Shurima, Azir.

Thousands of years ago, Shurima was a vast country, and every territory was conquered by a powerful army, and the army was led by a group of invincible samurai.

At that time, Shurima was ruled by an ambitious emperor, and because of the existence of this emperor, Shurima had the most vast territory.

And above the temple in the center of the capital, there is a golden disc floating all year round, which constantly releases the power of the sun, and because of this power, the land of the empire is always the most fertile.

And Azir, as the emperor's youngest and most unfavored prince, did not have a great destiny that he was born with. Because he has too many imperial brothers who are older than him, even if it is not his turn to be emperor. So his fate is likely to be to become a clergyman, or a vassal in some remote area.

In fact, Azir is just a very thin boy who usually only likes to read, and most of the day he spends most of his day in the Great Library of Nasus reading ancient texts, as for the martial arts used in battle? He never practiced.

While studying ancient texts in the large library, Azir met a slave boy who came almost every day to find information for his master.

In Shurima, slaves were not allowed to have names, but as the two boys became friends, Azir broke this law by naming his friend Zelas, which means "one who knows how to share".

Later, one day, Azir went out with his father and brothers on an annual parade of imperial territory, and the royal brigade stopped for the night next to a well-known oasis. It was also because of the youthful nature that Azir and Zelas waited until the middle of the night to sneak out to draw the stars, comparing and expanding the map of the celestial sphere they drew with those in the big library.

However, while they were getting carried away with their paintings, the Royal Brigade was assassinated by Assassins sent by the Empire's enemies.

One of the Assassins found Azir and the two of them and tried to slit his throat when Zelas intervened, jumping onto the Assassin's back. Then, in the ensuing scuffle, Azir finally plunged a dagger into the Assassin's throat.

Azir and Zelas hurried back to the Oasis, but by the time he arrived, the Assassins had been eliminated, but all of Azir's royal brothers were dead. Azir told his father, the Emperor, about Zelas's heroism and asked him to reward the slave boy, but his request went unanswered. Because in the eyes of this emperor, the hard boy does not deserve his attention.

But Azir swore to heaven that he and Zelas would become brothers.

Later, the Emperor returned to the capital, and the then fifteen-year-old Azir became his heir, and the Emperor unleashed a merciless slaughter in retaliation against what he believed to be the Assassins.

After that, Shurima was in a state of panic and murder for several years, and the emperor would kill anyone suspected of betrayal. At this time, although Azir was already the heir to the throne, his fate was still hanging by a thread. His father had always been jealous of him, and the Emperor had always been eager for Azir to die on his behalf.

And the queen is still young enough to give birth to more princes.

Later, Azir finally began to practice martial arts, also because the last time he was attacked in the Oasis, he felt that he was too useless. After hard training, Azir has learned extraordinary martial arts, and has mastered more and more strategic skills.

One day, Azir promoted Zelas, making him his only confidant and his right-hand man. In order to better assist him, Azir instructed Zelas to spare no effort to acquire knowledge.

Years passed, and the queen was unable to give birth to new children, and each fetus was stillborn before birth. As long as the queen continues to be infertile, Azir's life is relatively safe. Rumors began to circulate the existence of the curse around the court, and some even mentioned the name of the crown prince, but Azir insisted that he was innocent, and even executed some who dared to speak out against him.

A few years later, the Emperor died, but the Empire needed a leader, and with Zeroth's assistance, Azir soon ascended the throne as Emperor Shurima. In the decades that followed, he expanded Shurima's borders and ruled the empire with stern justice. He implemented New Deal reforms to improve the living standards of slaves, and secretly devised a plan for the eventual emancipation of all slaves. He kept the plan a secret, not even telling Zelas, as the issue of slavery had always been a knot between the two of them. For Zelas, although he was born into slavery, had always opposed the abolition of slavery.

Moreover, the foundation of the empire was supported by slaves, and many nobles relied on forced labor to maintain their wealth and power. Such a stubborn foundation could not be overturned overnight, so if Azir's plan was revealed too soon, it would have fallen short. Although Azir had always considered Zelas his brother, he knew that Zelas would not agree to his plan.

During these years, Zelas protected Azir against his political enemies and guided him to expand the empire.

When Azir got married and had children, Zelas envisioned a great vision of an empire for the emperor, one that would surpass all the empires in the world. But there is a prerequisite, in order to become the ruler of the whole world, Azir needs to become an invincible god among men, and he must become an ascended one.

Finally, the kingdom reached its peak of power, and Azir announced that he would perform the Ascension Ritual, claiming his right to rival Nasus and Renekton, as well as their glorious predecessors.

However, many people questioned this decision at the time, after all, the Ascension Ritual is extremely dangerous, only those whose lives are about to end will try it, and only those who have dedicated their lives to Shurima are entitled to the honor of Ascension. Only in this way can the Sun Priests decide whether a person can ascend or not, not the rights given to him by an emperor.

However, Azir did not heed these admonitions, and continued to go his course, as his character had expanded with the empire, so he began to threaten the Sun Priests with death. In the end, the Sun Priests reluctantly compromised.

On the day of the ceremony, Azir strode towards the Ascension Altar, flanked by thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people. He climbed to the golden disc at the top of the temple in the center of the city, and just before the Sun Priests began their ritual, he turned to face Zelas, finally granting him his freedom. Including all the slaves, Zelas was dumbfounded in shock.

But Azir hugged Zelas at the end, recognizing him as an eternal brother, as he had promised years earlier. Azir then turned around, and the priests began a ritual to summon the great energy of the sun into the world.

Unbeknownst to Azir, Zelas had not only studied history and philosophy in his quest for knowledge, but he had also learned witchcraft and black magic in order to gain freedom, and the desire for freedom had swelled like a cancer into a fiery hatred.

Finally, at the height of the ritual, Zelas unleashed his long-hidden power, and he pushed Azir out of the altar.

Without the protection of the rune ring, Azir was immediately consumed by the fire of the sun, and Zelas took his place. The light poured power into Zelas, and he roared loudly, his mortal body beginning to change.

However, the magic of this ritual did not belong to Zelas, and such a large amount of astral energy was diverted and stolen, with very tragic consequences.

The power of the Ascension Ritual exploded outward, destroying Shurima and razing the city to the ground. All humanity was burned to ashes, towering palaces collapsed, and yellow sand rose and engulfed the city. The solar disc sank from the sky, and the empire built over hundreds of years was wiped out in an instant, all because of the ambition of one and the hatred of another. The glorious Shurima was eventually transformed into this ruined ruin and this endless desert.
