"What a self-defeating statement."

Aatrox's voice was cold, interrupting Nasus's recollections:

"Nasus, you have been defeated by time, but that doesn't mean that I and other comrades are just like you."

His red, golden eyes looked directly at Nasus, and to Nasus's tired eyes, he said word by word:

"Shurima you can't protect, I'll protect it!"

"The glory you can't defend, I'll defend it!"

"If you can't defeat the enemy, I'll kill you!"

"Everything you can't do, I'll do it!"

"Nasus, I swear in the name of Aatrox that I will bring the glory of Shurima back to this land! We are the children of the sun, and we should be like the scorching sun on the sky, shining brightly! ”

A strong and unstoppable aura burst out from Aatrox's body at this time.

Under his aura, Nasus suddenly saw a woman who had died thousands of years ago.

Shurima's ambition, even if it is thousands of years, is still engraved in the bones of the person in front of him.

"Aatrox shines... After Setakavul..."

Nasus seemed to think back to a time when he had not yet become an ascender.

Led by the first Martial Empress Setaka and Aatrox Yaomian, the invincible Shurima Legion continues to show its brilliance.

Acacia... Ishtar... Giant God Peak...

The entire continent is filled with Shurima's army, and even today, the continent beneath their feet is still named after Shurima.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

This is thousands of years, a flying god followed the glory of the first martial queen Setaka with his strength.

He had always thought that everything except the name Shurima had become history.

But from today's Aatrox, it seems that he sees another possibility.

"Aatrox shines! Shurima University Scholar Nasus is willing to fight for Shurima again! ”

Rumble!

Nasus fell to one knee with his axe and staff, and a golden light burst from within him.

At this time, he was more aggressive and determined than the usual university scholars.

If he used to be a harmless scholar who saw through the world, now he is like a sharp-edged Confucian general.

"Shurima Empire..."

Looking at the scene staged by Aatrox and Nasus, Ryan brought a small smile to the corner of his mouth.

The world is large enough to accommodate several empires to develop at the same time.

But this world is also very small, only enough for the Noxian Empire to be the only one in this world.

It is a pity that there is no hope of fighting Shurima at the peak, both for Ryan and for the Noxian Empire.

But even Ryan doesn't know how strong the newborn Shurima will be in the end.

The only thing that can be determined is that there is no opponent in the Noxus Empire!

Ryan withdrew his gaze from the two Aatrox, who obviously had a lot to say after their relationship was repaired.

He wasn't interested in listening to the conversation, the library was a bigger treasure to him.

Through the books here, you will undoubtedly be able to learn about the ancient Shurima in all aspects... No, maybe it's time to revert to its old name and call it ...

Shurima Empire!

Before he can do that, though, he needs to complete the deal he has set for Aatrox.

Go and find out the truth about the failure of Azir's ascension and investigate whether it has anything to do with the Star Spirit.

Not only Aatrox, but he was also curious about it.

Although Shurima was defeated by time and herself, without the intervention of the Star Spirit, the time of destruction might have been postponed indefinitely.

Even if there is another figure like the original martial queen Setaka, maybe Shurima's future will be turned around.

As he pondered, a book with a magical ban on it floated up from the shelves and opened automatically around him.

He reads very fast, and he can flip through books with hundreds of pages in just a few seconds.

It wasn't enough time for him to get it all figured out, but it was enough for him to jot down everything and organize it in his head for easy reference.

After flipping through these books related to Zeroth, he closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't care what Nasus and the others were doing, and his mind kept deducing.

As Aatrox had said, it was all Zelas's private library, with so much unsavory research and records in it.

Perhaps it was because Zelas was confident that he would succeed in replacing Azir as the Ascension God, and he didn't handle or hide his research at all, and even the magic bans in the books could stop ordinary Ascension at most.

I'm afraid, he didn't even think about the possibility of failure...

Thanks to the magic skills of Nasus and Zelas, even after thousands of years, the books and even the traces of magic here are still intact.

According to these detailed books, everything that Zelas had done back then flashed before him.

The initial joy of becoming a mage with the help of Azir stems from Zelas's long diary.

Judging by the traces of magic left on it, Zelas had read this early journal for several time periods, and it was written about happy times with Azir.

The last traces of magic remained, even later than the rest of the research and books.

At the end of Zelas's early journal, two lines are written in slightly different handwriting.

"You are the sun in my heart, dispelling the darkness in my heart."

"You are the darkness of my life, and behind hope is despair."

Whether this is a struggle of the self after all, or a reason for betrayal, Ryan does not know, and has no intention of exploring it.

What he was more concerned about was that in this early diary, he saw an interesting description.

"Magic is simply wonderful, the power of the Ascension God is magic! It's a secret that even Azir doesn't know, and it's written in a book called Ascension and Magic, and the mage king named Akzam must have been great. ”

Ryan read the words softly, his eyes turning to the two Aatrox who were waiting patiently.

"The book isn't kept in this library, but I don't think Shurima will have one."

"Heresy!" Aatrox said mercilessly.

Ryan smiled, judging by Aatrox's reaction, even now, magic is something that the Ascension God despises.

After all, all the civilizations that use magic have surrendered to Shurima's feet, and even the mage king of Acacia is no match for Shurima's Ascension God.

To say that the two are related is undoubtedly to slap the face of the Flying Ascension God.

"These books are not going to be in the collection of any library. There could never have been such books in the places where His Majesty Azir and Zelath had visited. Nasus gave a clear answer.

As a scholar of the Shurima Imperial University, he was in charge of all Shurima's libraries, each of which was built by him.

All books were allowed to enter the library, with no exceptions, and even now, he remembered the names of all of Shurima's collection.

Even the royal library, which was not under his jurisdiction, would not have any books about the Mage King. The matter of Acacia has always been a taboo in Shurima that has only been circulated among the Ascension Gods.

And at the point in time that Ryan said, it was impossible for Zelas to have access to the Royal Library. At that time, Azir was just a prince who had no ambition, and he was the only one who had the right to enter the library.

From this, a conclusion can be clearly drawn.

Aatrox snorted coldly, with disdain in his tone:

"Interesting, it seems that from the very beginning someone was secretly doing something that only a little guy did. Cut, it's really like your style! Star Spirit! ”
