Chapter 275: Ancestor
"Renekton, mentioned in Shurima's history, is a crocodile-like ascended god and the younger brother of Nasus." Cassio Peia said.
"Is this how brothers greet each other..."Siloh touched the back of his head, feeling pity for the crocodile, "It's good that I don't have a brother." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, we're already in the mausoleum. Cassiopeia, always on alert. As for Silo..."
Sivir glanced at him and shook his head:
"Don't die."
As she spoke, she held the black box given to her by the Empire and walked forward.
At this moment, they have officially entered the antechamber of the mausoleum.
It was supposed to be beautifully decorated, but perhaps because of Renekton, it was a mess, with rubble falling all over the ground and scratches on the frescoes on the left and right sides and above.
The three of them walked in front, and Aatrox followed them in a courtyard-like manner, occasionally glancing at the murals around them, and occasionally flashing a certain nostalgia in his eyes.
He was the only one who followed, and the Nasus brothers were in no mood to go inside again after thousands of years.
"Boss!"
Silo's call caught the attention of both of Sivir, and when they both looked at him, he chuckled dryly twice and pointed to the wall next to him:
"Look, sir, don't you think this sounds familiar?"
On the wall he pointed to was a long-haired woman dressed in gorgeous green clothes and wrapped in golden light.
"Her name is Setaka, my former Empress and your ancestor."
From behind came Aatrox's wistful voice, who bent down and stroked the carved mural with his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
"Ancestor!?"
Hearing this, Siloh looked at Sivir dumbfounded:
"Boss? Is there such a big celebrity in your ancestors? ”
"What is this, who has not been generous in the ancestors." Sivir snorted coldly, glanced at Cassiopeia next to him, and said, "Some people's ancestors have also been emperors. ”
She was unsurprising at her identity, and the rest of the group even heard contempt for it from her.
Aatrox glanced at Sivir appreciatively, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and there was a look of looking at the old man in his eyes.
"It was just an accident, and it wasn't even recognized by the Noxian Empire." Cassiopeia smiled and shook his head, obviously not wanting to talk about the family's past.
"The deputy head of the regiment is also so powerful? Wait a minute... Boss, there have never been any powerful people in my family, I heard that my ancestors were poor! Xiluo Zhenzhen had words.
"Xiluo, there must have been a celebrity or a rich man in your ancestors, do you know why?" Cassiopeia laughed.
"How is that possible? My dad is poor, my grandfather is a sand thief, but we really rely on ourselves to work hard until now. Siloh puffed up his chest, looking proud of himself.
"If your family was poor, you wouldn't be alive now." Sivir coldly mended the knife beside him, "In the land of Shurima, the poor will not live long, at least the probability of the bloodline passing on to the present is not very high. ”
"It seems that this is the truth..."Silogan laughed twice, "If it had been when the Shurima Empire was still alive in the past, the conditions should not have been so bad. ”
"According to the information I have seen from the classics, the Shurima Empire has a hierarchical society, and the bottom people can only be the bottom people for the rest of their lives, which is why Zelas will rebel against the last emperor in the end. Of all the ascended gods that I know, not one was born from slavery. Cassiopeia shook his head.
"Sounds even crueler than it is now..."
As he walked, Xiluo couldn't help but glance at Aatrox behind him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, it was obviously true before.
He had heard of Aatrox's identity from Cassiopeia, but he didn't expect that this tall winged man was not only a flying god, but also one of the oldest.
"What should an empire look like in your eyes?"
As they walked up another seemingly endless staircase, Aatrox's voice suddenly came from behind them.
Cassiopeia subconsciously looked up at Sivir, knowing that the question was actually asking her.
It was Silo, who was very conscious and said:
"Of course, it's powerful, the empire has a strong military, a lot of money, it can snare all kinds of rare things, it has great technology..."
As he spoke, he thought of the Noxian Empire:
"With the world's best upper force, everyone in the empire is very martial and determined to climb upward, and the upper class will also give the people below the opportunity to show their talents at will..."
Silo's mouth gushed and told a lot about the current situation in Noxus.
After saying that, he glanced back expectantly, as if he wanted to be recognized by Aatrox.
"Powerful, but it speaks to the essence of empire. But the kind of empire you speak of can only exist in an ideal. ”
Aatrox's cold words came from behind:
Not all people deserve a chance, some sinners deserve to be enslaved forever, while others deserve to be reused for generations. Otherwise, the empire will be ruined at the hands of the descendants of sinners. ”
Silo wisely shut his mouth when he heard Aatrox's obviously emotional words.
Although he didn't know much about the truth about the fall of the Shurima Empire, combined with what Cassiopeia had just said, it all showed that Aatrox was reflecting something.
"Everyone has the value of being used, and I think that's what the upper echelons of the empire should consider." Sivir spoke up, "As for what is destroyed at the hands of sinners... It seems to me ridiculous that this does not mean that sinners should not be used, but rather proves that the leader of the empire is a fool. ”
Hearing Sivir's words, Aatrox was slightly stunned at first, and then let out a hearty laugh:
"Hahahaha! Not bad! I think so too. Only waste can control even the offspring of sinners. ”
'Interesting...'
Cassiopeia on the side rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
From the moment she walked into the mausoleum, she was keenly aware that Aatrox was different from the previous meetings.
When Ryan first met Aatrox, she only saw Aatrox's arrogance in everything, and a little respect for Ryan's fellow powerhouse.
Later, when they met in front of the giant beast, she could feel that the other party was suppressing her arrogance, and the reason was that she didn't expect it at first.
It wasn't until she entered the mausoleum that she realized that it was because of Sivir's different identity, and because Sivir might be very close to the former Setaka.
Seeing Aatrox now, it was obvious that she was even more convinced of this.
Aatrox was similar to the Ascended Gods she had seen, perhaps because of the harsh selection conditions, they were far purer and more controllable than Councillor Trefary...
"We're almost there!"
Hearing Aatrox's dull words behind him, Cassiopeia looked up at Sivir, who was walking ahead, and then at the light at the end of the stairs.
At this moment, greater ambition rose in her heart.
Perhaps, the Ascension Ceremony is just the beginning...
