Ryan has always adhered to the idea that if the empire depends on only one person, then this person and the empire will definitely reach their limits.

Even if he is as strong as Shurima, Setaka will die in the Void Battlefield.

She was so much stronger than Shurima's ordinary Ascension God that no inspiration for the path could be seen in the others.

Noxus is different, in Ryan's view, when the average strength of the empire rises to a certain height, the top people will inevitably find some kind of inspiration from within the empire to complete their own breakthroughs.

If you can't find it... That's when it's time to be eliminated, even for him.

Cassiopeia also sensed this from the information passed down from the family.

Although there are not many high-level people in the empire who really have the strength of demigods, each of them can achieve that strength with the help of external forces.

If she hadn't progressed at a faster pace, even if she was now a Flying God, it would be a matter of time before she was eliminated.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the empire needs more resources, and these resources Shurima does not attach importance to them, so the civilians who can collect these resources have become the key to our struggle." Cassiopeia said respectfully.

After a pause, Cassiopeia saw that Ryan did not deny it, and then said boldly:

"Like Demacia, the Empire can enslave the civilians of Shurima in a commercial way, give them small profits, and then reap their gains at a low price."

"Of course, this kind of thing naturally can't be hidden from the ears and eyes of the Ascended Gods, and this is what distinguishes them from Demacia. Demacia couldn't change it even if he saw it, but Shurima's Ascension God had great strength. ”

"If the Empire is unwilling to conflict with them, it needs to also satisfy the needs of the Ascended Gods to acquiesce in this matter."

“......”

After listening to Cassiopeia's words, Ryan nodded slightly, and asked with approval in his eyes:

"Then in your opinion, what can stabilize the Ascension God?"

Cassiopeia's heart was slightly relieved, and her face became more confident:

"Weapons! Technology! ”

"Shurima doesn't lack these, and they don't care about the combat power of the soldiers below. Do you think weapons can still tempt you to ascend to the gods? Ryan asked with a smile.

"Of course! When hatred reaches its limit, they will do whatever it takes. ”

Cassiopeia said firmly:

"I've read the history of Shurima in detail, they used to have brilliant Ascension technology, but with the demise of the Ascension God, it also disappeared."

"When Shurima falls apart, those Ascended Gods who specialize in technology must be the first force that others want to kill or win over, just because they are the weakest individually."

"After the Darkspawn War began, most of them died at the hands of their colleagues, and they didn't even have a chance to become Darkborn. Even if Aatrox retrieves those Darkspawns, there won't be many Ascension Gods who know how to ascend technology. ”

"But at the same time, it is precisely because of their hatred with the Star Spirits that they will desperately want more combat power, even if those combat power is insignificant in the demigod-level battlefield."

“......”

Cassiopaia analyzed the current and future needs of the Ascension from various perspectives such as history and the psychology of the present Ascension God, and finally gave an affirmative answer:

"As long as the strength of the Empire can keep Shurima jealous, then the Ascension God will have to choose a compromise before the Star Spirit is destroyed."

"That's a good point."

Ryan nodded slightly, looking at Cassiopeia with a smile.

The other party did not mention that as the cooperation between the Empire and Shurima deepens, Cassiopeia, who serves as a bridge between the two, will be the one who has the most personal benefits.

Of course, this is the reward that the other side deserves as a proposer, and no one will dispute it.

"I will give you privileges in this matter, and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and the Mechanics Department and Hextech Department of the War College will cooperate with you and give you the greatest support."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your recognition!" Cassiopeia bowed deeply.

"It's something you get in exchange for your talent."

Ryan smiled absently, and then mentioned as if unintentionally:

"The battle in Acacia has been initially calmed down, and most of the Imperial Southern Front has retreated, and is now stationed on the Plain of Koharis."

"Your Majesty, does that include their commander?" Cassiopeia asked, nervously.

"Of course!"

Ryan smiled and nodded, the meaning already clear.

He didn't want to interfere too much in the family affairs of the Quekao family.

But the girl who used to follow him has been a little slack off herself recently because she has to deal with too many imperial chores.

Compared with the talent of management, he values the girl's belief in strength more.

"Your Majesty, I see! I'll step back first! ”

After Ryan signaled, Cassiopeia bowed slightly and slowly withdrew from the library.

Walking out of the library and looking at the yellow sand around her, Cassiopeia let out a sigh of relief:

"Sister... It's really enviable, if it was me who he valued at that time, how nice it would be..."

After saying that, Cassiopeia smiled self-deprecatingly and ran towards the Koharisse Plain, which was located in the eastern part of the Shurima Continent.

She also knew in her heart that at that time, she didn't even have the qualifications to be taken by her father's side, let alone be valued by the crown.

Opportunities are always earned by oneself.

At least, she was now in front of her sister for the first time.

That's enough.

After Cassiopeia left, a wave of water rippled in the library.

As if the mirror was shattered, a slender figure stepped out of it.

"Was it Cassiopeia just now, heh, it's really a big gap compared to before."

A coquettish voice came from under the figure's robe, and she removed the hood from her head, revealing the delicate face of LeBlanc hidden within.

"Her mother is a Black Rose person." Ryan asked, seemingly unintentionally.

"I'm still working for Black Rose, but I think it's time for her to get a move. I used to teach Cassiopeia for a while, but she probably thought I was just a normal teacher. LeBlanc chuckled.

Cassiopeia followed her mother since she was a child, and her mother, who belonged to Black Rose, naturally had contact with LeBlanc and others.

It is even said that she herself is the reserve of the Black Rose.

The meaning of LeBlanc's words is to indicate that the other party is a reserve who has been eliminated by Black Rose.

But because of Ryan's words and Cassiopeia's own proof of worth, it deserves to be treated favorably along with her mother.

"People always go through a lot of unexpected things, and some people get lost in it, and some people become stronger because of it." Ryan shook his head and replied.

Like Zelas, like Cassiopeia, or some other ascended god.

Life is always because of accidents, and there are many interesting things.

"Since you're here, it means there's already news."

Ryan looked at LeBlan, who was flipping through the book in front of him, and didn't say anything polite to the other party.

"Of course."

LeBlan's face was pale:

"I already know a lot about the star spirit who came down to earth. You will be surprised by the origin of the other party. ”
