Chapter 127: Shurima's Past
(Today, I suddenly have some interest in returning to the Spring and Autumn Brushwork, otherwise I won't be able to catch up.) {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters -)
"Butcher of the Desert, Renekton."
Staring at the person who came with jealousy, EZ lowered his voice and said to Fang Yan on the side. However, Fang Yan had already ignored EZ's words, and at this moment his attention was completely attracted by another matter, his eyes were fixed on the huge crocodile walking upright opposite, and there was only one thought left in his heart: the angry one! It turned out to be the angry one!
The number of angry people in Valoran is extremely rare, except for those few who have only heard the name and have never seen a real person, Fang Yanchang has seen only one angry person other than himself, and that is the iron man Huo Li who has died in battle. It must be said that Hawley has not been able to improve his strength because of his limited qualifications, and he has long been surpassed by Fang Yan, but the desert butcher in front of him at the moment is undoubtedly the real top powerhouse among the angry ones - not to mention the arrogant and terrifying momentum that surrounds him, just by the mutual induction between the angry ones, Fang Yan can judge this at a glance.
Don't think that just because Fang Yan and Hawley have a good relationship, they get along harmoniously with each other, in fact, this is a special case. The power used by the angry person is called anger precisely because it has a strong effect on the person's emotions, and in fact the good temper of the angry person is the only one. And because of the mutual induction between angry people - how many people will be happy when a stranger sees through their emotions? So under normal circumstances, when two angry people meet together, it is more likely to fight.
Obviously, Renekton is not a good-tempered person, and even because of the invasion of evil thoughts, the whole person has become sometimes sober and sometimes chaotic, and the slightest stimulation can be out of control, which is emphasized in EZ's notes, but I didn't expect to meet him here.
Then, without warning, the two sides went to war.
The main reason for the fight was the identity of Fang Yan's angry person, and there was another reason that was personally said by the angry Renekton: "The breath of the sun disk...... Ascendant! ”
Although they are both heroes recognized by the War Academy, in fact, joining League of Legends only requires reaching the minimum threshold of strength, plus some political compromises...... So. The gap between heroes and heroes is quite huge. Strong people such as Death Song, Ruiz, Coffin Board, etc. (in no particular order, this kind of strength ranking is too controversial) are all old monsters who have lived in Valoran for many years, and their strength has already reached a terrifying point; Weak people, such as Cannon Niang, Plane Rambo, etc., can only be regarded as the strongest among ordinary people. Even with the help of external forces, it reached the level of heroic combat power.
Among the more than 100 heroes that have been registered in League of Legends, EZ's strength cannot be said to be weak, but it has nothing to do with the word "strong". On the other hand, the desert butcher Renekton is far from the monsters who really stand at the top of Valoran, but his strength is not comparable to EZ. Even with the addition of a quasi-hero-level combat power Fang Yan, it would not work.
The battle ended quickly—or not long after—and it was nearing its end. That's right, although Fang Yan and EZ together are not Renekton's opponents, it is really not impossible to use the advantages of intelligence, strategy and cooperation, but is it really necessary to fight this battle?
In the eyes of the two, Renekton is a madman, is it interesting to risk his life to fight with him when he has nothing to do? Maybe Renekton himself had a good time, but Fang Yan and EZ didn't need to continue this battle at all. So after fighting with Renekton for a while, the two tacitly found an opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield and ran away again.
If it was in the water, the two would not have escaped the pursuit of Renekton. But it's a desert! Although Renekton is also comfortable on land, it is certainly not as fast as his home turf - the swamp, and Fang Yan and EZ quickly distanced themselves from him by virtue of their speed advantage. However, Renekton's sense of smell is extremely developed, and he still hangs far behind the two and persistently chases after him.
A few hours later, the two successfully shook off the crocodile, but they were found by another person who noticed the abnormality, he took the initiative to find it, and he had something to ask Fang Yan and ez. Coincidentally, this man is Nasus, the Desert Butcher's brother of Recton.
Overall, Nasus's strength is on par with Renekton, but his sanity is clear. Although it is a little reluctant to be kind, it is also easier to speak. EZ and Nasus had a relationship, and they also knew something about him, and it was recorded in the manual that Hou Yan naturally knew some information about Nasus.
Nasus and Renekton come from a mysterious otherworld. We don't know much about their past, but it's clear: although the two are brothers, their relationship is that they must fight to the death when they meet - of course, the main thing is that Renekton wants to fight to the death with his brother, and Nasus has always felt guilty about his brother because of some things in the past and wants to save him from the quagmire of evil.
Well, in fact, the relationship between this brother is somewhat similar to that of another pair of brothers. Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke in "Naruto" - although there are many differences, but they are essentially the same, the elder brother has a deep love for his younger brother to the bone marrow, and the younger brother has always wanted to kill his brother with his own hands for some reason or misunderstanding, but there is still family affection in his heart, and once the misunderstanding is resolved, it is better for the brothers to be the two brothers.
However, this time Nasus did not come for the sake of his brother Renekton's business, which was to be solved internally by the brother's own affairs, which was Nasus's bottom line. No, it had something to do with Renekton in a way, but Nasus wasn't going to go to his brother right now - every encounter was a memory that Nasus didn't want to mention until he solved Renekton's evil intentions, and cannibalism was a heavy topic for anyone.
It turned out that Nasus smelled the breath of the solar disc from EZ and Fang Yan (it should be said that it was worthy of a dog's head), and his purpose was the solar disk. Then, Nasus told Fang Yan some secrets about the two, and the two looked at each other and had a feeling of sudden realization.
Nasus, the Desert Reaper, and Renekton, the Desert Butcher, come from a mysterious otherworld, and the name of this world is "Shurima". That's right, it's Shurima, a soul plane that is inextricably linked to the current Shurima Desert - similar in nature to Shadow Isle.
However, the real hometown of the two is still this land of Shurima, which has become a desert. You must know that Shurima in another time and space belongs to the world of souls, how can two living people be born there? The reason why Renekton and Nasus appeared in Shurima on that alternate plane was because they went through a ritual called "Ascension".
The so-called "ascension" is the most sacred ritual of the ancient Shurima civilization, and only the elite of the elite can be granted this ceremony. After ascension, life transforms into another form that is neither living nor dead. Thus receiving eternal life in another way.
The most important item to complete the Ascension Ritual is the Sun Disc controlled by each Shurima Emperor. It stands to reason that once "eternal life" is involved, it is absolutely impossible for the royal family to share it with outsiders. But the problem is that the success rate of this ritual is too low, and the higher the physical strength, the more likely it is to succeed, as for the pampered royal family...... Hehe.
Most of the royal family has fallen, but a few have managed to ascend and enter the alternate plane. It's a weird world. But there are also endless opportunities in it, and it is said that there is a way to truly make people immortal, but unfortunately the more important the place, the more dangerous it is, and those who dare to break in these lucky people are dead.
What could be more painful than seeing the treasure out there and not being able to get it? So after a long time and a lot of waste, the then Emperor Shurima and all the authorities in the royal family finally made a decision - to open the "ascension" ceremony.
Of course, it is impossible to open it to everyone in the entire empire, no one in the royal family is so stupid, and the target of the opening is mainly the royal guards - the upper echelons of the empire are the objects that the imperial family is most wary of, and one bad thing is the end of the collapse of the empire. The Royal Guard is the best candidate, and it goes without saying that they are loyal. The key is that those who can come in are not weak and strong, and their physical strength is much stronger than that of people with royal blood, and the success rate is naturally higher. The brothers Nasus and Renekton, who were in the Royal Guard at the time, were chosen to participate in the Ascension Ceremony.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that both Nasus and the Renekton brothers have successfully "ascended" into Shurima in another plane. There, they had wanted to join the royal blood here on the orders of the Emperor before their ascension, but they encountered an accident and arrived at a magical place, the Great Library.
The Great Library is a vault of ancient knowledge and a treasure trove of secrets of the cycle of life and death, containing endless mysteries, and the two of them lingered after coming here. Nasus became the keeper of the Great Library. Mentoring scholars who come to seek knowledge, and Renekton serves as the gatekeeper of the Great Library. This was also the beginning of the brothers' tragedy.
Renekton can sense the nature of the visitor and discern who is coming for the truth. Who came out of ambition. Then, as time passed, Renekton's mind was constantly corroded by these evils. Renekton goes berserk in the face of the viciousness in the hearts of the world, and degenerates from a Guardian to a madman. He discovers that by slaying the evil in the hearts of the wicked, he can temporarily calm his fury. Unfortunately. This was short-lived, and the 'Butcher's Fury' intensified, and by draining his anger, Renekton was given the ability to defeat his brother Nasus. Nasus pleads with him to find out the source of his anger, but realizes that Renekton has fallen too deep to redeem him, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally decides to kill his reckless brother.
However, it was at this time that a sudden change occurred - the two were summoned back to their original form of Shurima. This ritual is called "Advent", as opposed to "Ascension", which can be understood literally, and also uses the power of the solar disk, so that the first members of the royal family who entered Shurima in another time and space were able to connect with the empire of this world. Because after ascending, it transforms into a life form similar to a soul, so to "descend" into the real world, you need a carrier, and the best carrier is of course your original body - hence the "mummy".
After the arrival, Nasus also learned what had happened. The crux of the story lies in two people, one is the young current Shurima Emperor Azir, and the other is a white-robed wizard who became a white-robed wizard before the age of thirty (to digress the question...... When it comes to white-robed wizards, Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings and Dumbledore from Harry Potter come to mind, but they are married...... Friends who don't know can search for news, this mood is simply a slump Nima), Zelas, who was treated as a guest by Azir.
Zelas wanted to be submissive in front of Azir, but it was only a mask he used to hide his ambitions, and his eyes were fixed on the solar disk from the beginning. The Sun Disc is the most important treasure of the royal family, except for the royal bloodline and the royal guards who can perform the ascension ceremony, there is only one person who can access it - the Imperial National Master who is responsible for presiding over the ascension ceremony, but there is only this one opportunity, and the more capable outsiders are, the more they must guard against it. I have to say that Zelas is really amazing, and after only three contacts after serving as the national teacher, he has gained insight into the hidden mysteries in the sun's disk that have never been discovered.
Having mastered the secret, Zelas was ambitious, but he still lacked a chance - he had no choice but to wait, and he took the initiative to create it. Trusted by Azir, Zelas encouraged the young emperor to perform the ascension ceremony, saying that he had discovered the secret of the solar disk, and the arrogant Azir agreed. As the Solar Disk focused the light of dawn into a transformative beam, Zelas betrayed Azir, pushing him away and claiming the power of the Solar Disk for himself.
Zelas succeeded, and he completed a different ritual from "Ascension" - "Ascension", and was transformed into a strange life - a witch spirit by the pure power of the solar disk, and obtained the power to destroy the world. At the same time, because the power transmitted by the solar disk was too large, it overflowed and spread throughout Shurima, turning the original great rivers and mountains into a desert.
Enraged, the teased Azir wielded the power of the solar disc to summon all the "Ascended" in the history of the Empire, including Nasus and Renekton—at the cost of Azir falling into a near-eternal slumber.
Zelas, who had been sublimated into a witch, was too powerful to face all the Ascenders and all the mages of the entire Desert Empire on his own. After all, Zelas is too conceited, obviously he is not familiar with the power when he first gets it, but he uses it unscrupulously, and is finally eaten by this power. His enemies certainly wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after a fierce battle, they controlled Zelas, but they had no way to destroy his sublimated form. So they put Zelath in a magically sealed sarcophagus and buried him in a grave underground.
Zeroth's story aside. Azir fell into a deep slumber, the empire became a desert and existed in name only, and the remaining mages began to pick up the pieces. First, what to do with Azir. It can be said that Azir was the biggest accomplice to the destruction of the empire, but he was the emperor of Shurima after all, and after a long deliberation, the mages made a decision: bury the sleeping Azir with the solar disk.
Nasus and Renekton return to Shurima on another plane. Because of the previous Advent ritual, Renekton was purified by the power of the solar disc and freed from evil thoughts. Unfortunately, after all, it is a symptom rather than a cure, and after a long time, Renekton is once again eroded by evil thoughts. Nasus hesitated again. However, this time before he could make a decision, a turmoil in Valoran caused the brothers to fall into the Valoran continent one after another, and the brothers' grievances have continued to this day.
Nasus's desire to cleanse his brother of evil thoughts never wavered. To Nasus's excitement, the only chance he had to take was to reappear recently.
Sun Disc! (To be continued.) )
Shurima's plot is a bit too much, so for the sake of efficiency, I have to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork again, otherwise I won't be able to catch up before I enlist in the army. It is said that since the crispy chicken came out, Shurima's backstory has changed too much, and it was finally rounded, although it was a little rough but not trying. It must be said that there are two heroic stories related to Shurima that are not going to be written, one is the snake girl, in the original story, the snake girl turned into a serpentine because she violated her oath and was cursed, and the new version was because she was bitten by the snake guards in the Shurima desert, and by the way, the crispy chicken was released by her and the wheel mother. The other hero is the wheel mother.,The mercenary goddess has turned into the bloodline left over from the royal family of Shurima.,Tsk,It's better to remove the old version of the story like this.。 xh118
