Chapter XXIX, the title page of the biography
Valoran has many empires, most notably Noxus, Demacia, Ionia, Zaun, Acacia, Piltover, Bandel City, as well as the forming Ferreldrod and the defunct Empire of Nurima.
Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, and the Zaun Dynasty, these empires that dominate the ups and downs of Valoran naturally need not be mentioned. Whether it is the Demacian Empire, which is in a corner of peace and admires peace, or the Noxus that advocates war, or the Demacian Empire, which maintains justice with the sword in its hand, or the Zuan Dynasty, which is ambitious and dedicated to becoming the master of Valoran, these countries have occupied a leading role in Valoran since its establishment.
The two countries of Piltover, Bandel City, and Acacia are not famous for their military force, but for their unique characteristics.
For example, the kingdom of Piltover was a technologically advanced empire, and he was one of Demacia's most important allies, as opposed to Noxus by the Zaun dynasty. In the war between Noxus and Demacia, Piltover made many outstanding contributions, and many high-tech weapons and technologies were provided to the Demacian Empire to resist Noxus's ambition to conquer the continent of Valoran.
The Noxian Empire, with its vast land and abundant talents, was also amazed by Piltover's magical and technological resources, and several generations of Noxian emperors, including Alexander the Great, once said: The holy land of magicians is in Piltover.
A magician who lingers at a nobleman's dinner party can never achieve much in magic. Magic needs to be explored and proven, and it takes time to get answers. The aristocratic world of Noxus is too flashy for a noble but rare profession like magicians, and Piltover, a country of technology, magic, and peace, is naturally a favored territory for magicians.
Countless magicians gathered Piltover from all over the continent of Valoran, and built Piltover into an empire of magical technology.
Noxus has waged numerous wars against Valoran, but has rarely swept the empire of Pyrutef. Part of this is due to the rebuttal of magicians and scientists who are afraid of Piltover.
Acacia, to be exact, is not a country. From the Voodoo Lands to the mountains of the coastline, there is a forgotten place. The Forgotten Lands, another name for Acacia, were thought to have been a battlefield for the gods, a wasteland. There are no living beings. However, the truth is quite different.
The fate of any traveler who intrudes into Acacia is usually death or oblivion, but either may be a relief. In the past, it was a place of destruction, and the ruins of ancient cities were covered in mist, strange shapes, huge decaying stone statues, and dark and terrifying gods. The creatures of the Endless Void are worshipped here. Now, the appearance of a great emperor has changed Acacia's situation, and they have established a city in this wasteland and created an empire.
From ancient times to the present day, Acacia has been inhabited. The beliefs of the people here are very different from those of the rest of the continent of Valoran. They worship the creatures of the Endless Void, and perhaps in their words, the Void is sacred. Even the Great Emperor who had been bent on merging Acacsia with the rest of Valoran had not done so, and even the Great Emperor had not thought about changing the faith of the inhabitants.
For this strange and mysterious country, both Noxus and Demacia maintain this attitude of respect. It was indeed an isolated and obscure empire.
Noxus, Demacia, Ionia, Zaun, Piltover, Acacia, and Bandel City are the empires that exist in the hearts of the inhabitants of Valoran. But is there really only these empires on Valoran? If you ask the ordinary inhabitants of Valoran, you will not get any answer, but if you ask someone in power like Burnham, you will get a negative answer.
As far as the entire Valoran continent is concerned, the empires of Noxus, Demacia, and Ionia occupy less than half of the territory of the Valoran continent. In other words, there is still a half of the territory of the Valoran continent that is blank, and there is no trace of the existence of any empire. Moreover, it is not known whether there are other empires other than the Valoran continent.

"Faith? Crown? Chillis had a pleasant smile on her face. But he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart. Elquilo's mind was already in front of her. No empire can do without faith, and no ruler with a crown! So this creates a very delicate relationship between faith and the crown.
A scepter of control. An emperor with a crown will not deviate from his beliefs for a reason, which means that the empire is about to usher in a turmoil! So every emperor, whether in Noxus or any other empire, wanted to take control of their faith and keep it in line with themselves.
How can we ensure that our beliefs within our country are consistent with our own beliefs? The pope of the Holy See of Byzantio must be consulted in Noxus, and the Patriarch of the Holy See of the Vatican should be asked in the Demacian Empire.
Burnham once asked Jeoshura what he could bring him, and Jeoshura replied with an answer that Burnham applauded. It's not. Therefore, Jeoshura successfully became His Majesty the Pope of the Byzantian Holy See, and if there is not a shadow of Burnham in it, I am afraid that no one wants to believe it.
General Burnham, who holds the scepter and carries the crown, has a religious belief that is consistent with the imperial power because of Yeosura! And what about Kiris? What kind of person does this woman who is likely to hold the crown of the Noxian Empire need to keep her religious beliefs in line with herself?
No, Erquilo said the answer: Hygoa!
Ruohai Ge Azu stepped out of the Inquisition and became the next pope of the Noxian Empire. Doesn't that mean that Kiris is in control of Noxus' faith?
Religion and imperial power are always two inseparable existences! Although many monks in the Holy See of Byzantio believed that religion was religion and had nothing to do with imperial power, it was inevitable that the entanglement between religion and imperial power would be prevented.
Whether it was Alexander the Great or Burnham today, they had to acknowledge the influence of religion on the imperial power, so they tried to control religion to serve the imperial power.
If Kiris Stuart wants to be the next scepter-wielding empress of Noxus, she must have the support of religious powers! In addition to Pope Oyesura, there are a total of six cardinal archbishops in the Noxian Empire, and the three Inquisition giants whose power is not inferior to that of cardinal archbishops, that is, the entire people who can influence the Byzantian Holy See are these ten people.
So if Kirise Stuart had the support of any of the ten, it would be another step forward in becoming the Empress of Noxus.
Elquilo's slightly subtle words had already been revealed very bluntly in front of Kiris. How is it not clear that Kiris Stuart has accumulated wisdom by the side of General Burnham?
"Duke Erquilo, it will take me a while to consider this proposal, but I remind you Erquilo that our main problem right now is not Augustus, who is talking to Burnham on the side of General Burnham, but the political enemies who have prevented me from ascending the throne of the Empress of Noxus and the Black Rose who is hiding in the corners where we cannot see to peep into the throne of Noxus! They are our worst enemies! ”
Elquilo smiled slightly, nodded in approval of this answer, and responded: "I feel your reminder, but I also have a word I want to remind Your Highness Princess: the only person who can decide the next person to control the power of Noxus is General Burnham, and the only thing that really makes Her Royal Highness the Princess can control the power of Noxus is the power in your hands, Princess Kiris!" ”
"I understand what you mean, I definitely have the power in my hands to control the current situation in Noxus, and no one in Noxus has a better chance of inheriting the throne that belongs to Stuart than me."
Erquiro raised his eyes to look at the calm and elegant Kiris in front of him, and suddenly had a very ridiculous illusion of looking up! Hehe, is this a hallucination in my head?
But Elquilo had to admit that Kiris at this moment did have the temperament and qualifications to be the queen of Noxus!
A nouveau riche can never return to the aristocratic temperament that is deeply rooted in the bones of the nobility in a short time. It is absolutely impossible for a powerful person to have the temperament of a Noxian ruler in a day.

"He dominated an era, he created an era, he changed the world, he is General Burnham!"
"Augustus, do you really think it's appropriate to start my biography like this?" Burnham calmly interrupted Augustus' rambling remarks and asked.
Augustus nodded very sincerely and said, "This is General Burnham!" ”
Burnham glanced at Augustus deeply, then turned around, looked at the sky outside the window, and was silent for a long time in Augustus's slightly uneasy mood, Burnham spoke: "It's not that Noxus made me, it's that Noxus made me, but that I was chosen by the gods and became a doll!" The tone was low and gloomy.
Looking at the back of the glorious one, the stubborn and stubborn, and the unruly and unruly one in front of him, a passage came out of Augustus's mind, and immediately read out: When others are hollowing out their hearts and longing to hold the Noxian scepter, I have already thought about how to throw away the scepter, and when others are trying to forget everything that makes me ruthless, I desperately recall the two figures that I have never forgotten in my life, but have finally blurred. I was pushed to the top by fate, but all I remember was the two blurred figures at the low point of my life, and my Burnham refused to be a doll of the gods!
"This should be my biography!" Burnham turned slowly and smiled at Augustus with a smile he had never seen before.
Splendid, pure!
At this moment, Augustus actually had an urge to cry, "When has Lao Tzu been so sentimental!" In his heart, Augustus couldn't help but scold. (To be continued.) )
