024, striking iron cast sword

Will he ever come back?

He is sure, he is the prince of Shurima, the one who will lead us in the future...... But that's Kamigawa, a place that was several eras ahead of Shurima!

Will he change?

Will His Royal Highness the Prince's once tenacious eyes be lost?

Did he dare to confront those gods just because he was young and ignorant?

Maybe it's really the case, how can a small child do something like us adults don't dare to do?

If he returned, in what capacity would he return? Are you Kamigawa? Or Shurima?

Twenty years is enough to change the values of a mortal.

Would Azir look down on Shurima who gave birth to him?

Because we're too far behind?

He is supposed to lead us!

…… But is he up to the task?

……

Asitaya's heart is complicated, he has been waiting for Azir to come back, in his subconscious he has been expecting that child back then to lead them to rise, this is an inexplicable trust, even he can't tell.

But he was afraid that Azir would become a stranger outside, and if he became a wasted person, only knowing pleasure and not doing anything, then his expectations would be disappointed, and Shurima did not have such an emperor in history.

He is also afraid that Azir will become a god on high, and if he confronts Shurima with the values of the Kamigawa people, then he will become the thing that Shurima fears the most.

How can such a person lead Shurima?

But Azir returned, in a way that Asithaya had never imagined.

Assitaya's heart also rejected everything from the upper civilizations, so he didn't even think about what technology Azir would bring to Kamigawa.

But when Azir reveals the super-soldier plan that belongs to Shurima's native soil, a sense of longing that had been dormant in his heart for years suddenly awakens.

In a trance, he saw the possibility of Shurima facing the stars again.

Asitaya's interest in the Ascended was at this time, and he was out of control in the future, and his years of composure would be shattered by an ecstasy that he would soon understand would be the most regrettable thing of his life.

"Your Highness...... Have you succeeded? ”

Finally, one of the reporters below dared to raise his hand tremblingly.

Following this question, the other reporters also slowly raised their heads, of course, they still had worries and fears about unknown technology in their eyes, but at this time there was something different.

Craving.

No one can watch their civilization perish with peace of mind, and no one wants this to happen.

Azir captured their emotions with great precision, but he was not in a hurry to expand and release them, which was not his purpose today, he had just roughly explained the principle of the Ascended and the help of Shurima.

Of course, Azir had succeeded in his ascension, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he thought about it and said, "This project needs the help of the people of Quanshu Rima." ”

"What kind of help?" Someone asked.

"Volunteer." "Determined volunteers are likely to die," Azir said. ”

"What do these volunteers need to do?" Someone asked again.

"You don't have to do anything, in my theory, the process of ascension is extremely painful, it needs to start to change from the genetic level, and even every inch of the skin of the body, microscopic to the cell, will be peeled off."

Azir's words caused a commotion, this way of gaining power was beyond their knowledge, it was no longer the TV scene where you could become a hero with just shouting a word of transformation, and the so-called ascension process sounded more like self-harm.

"That's why I said I need the help of the people of Shurima!"

Azir interrupted them loudly, "The current Ascension Theory was built in Kamigawa, and the genetic information about the Shurima is almost entirely from my own, and I need volunteers, no, warriors to help me with this project." ”

"Now I am here to appeal to all those who hear me to be eligible to participate in the construction of the Ascension Project, but it may require great suffering."

"How long do you plan to complete this project?" Someone asked.

Azir was silent for a moment, and he said to them: "Maybe a hundred years...... Maybe a thousand years...... Maybe 10,000 years. ”

The reporters below couldn't sit still any longer, they almost rushed to the stage, and if it weren't for the desperate efforts of the guards to stop them, they would have put the microphone in Azir's face.

The ascension process has exceeded their comprehension, and now such a time span is even more unacceptable to them, no one predicted the current situation, so there are too many problems that are not thought out in advance, but born by these reporters on the spot.

But most of their questions are questions about Azir, and even doubts about whether he is crazy.

Before going back, Asitaya asked Azir, "Your Highness, are you telling the truth?" ”

Azir smiled and said, "I will not deceive Shurima. ”

"Can that ...... Let me see your Ascendant project? ”

"Asitaya will have a chance, but it's not time yet."

Azir's goal was achieved, in the period before his coming-of-age ceremony, the topic of the Ascended occupied all of Shurima's social platforms overnight, and it was forbidden to question and insult the royal family on public platforms, but on the black channels of those private and illegal platforms, people with various ideas quarreled into a pot of porridge.

Naturally, there is support for Azir, and these people also understand the current situation of their own civilization, and while they are afraid of unknown technology and upper civilization, it is impossible for no one not to feel humiliated, and then this topic, the topic of whether to enter the space age, has also been picked up.

They squatted in forums or groups almost day and night, and as long as someone who disagreed with them posted or replied to a message, they would immediately fire on it, which was tantamount to a world war.

The members of the department in charge of managing the information network were impressed that the return of His Royal Highness the Prince had caused the paralysis of Shurima's social network.

The second thing Azir did was to bring the raw Uru metal he had obtained to the Academy of Sciences, and he wanted to try to see if he could refine and synthesize a high-purity alloy from it with the current technology of Ishrima.

Now the damage to the gold disc has not been repaired.

"Your Highness, compared to you, I think we are like a group of primitive people, maybe the best thing we can do is strike iron."

This is a young scientist in the Asitaya camp, and his research direction is in the direction of rare materials and high-intensity energy synthesis.

Azir knew that the scientists in Nasus's camp would refuse to touch this alien metal, and the truth was as he expected, so Azir went directly to the other party.

"Why do you say that?" Azir was puzzled.

"We can't parse the contents of Ulu metal at all, and we can't decompose it, the only thing we can do with it is to heat it to the temperature of the sun and melt it...... To be honest, I've never seen a metal substance with such a high melting point, and I've never seen anything so hard. ”

He joked, "It's a good choice for striking iron swords." ”

Azir listened to his words and thought for a while, and actually smiled: "Then let's fight the iron sword!" ”

The scientist was stunned for a long time: "...... Yes? ”

After a tiring day's work, Azir was finally able to return to the dormitory to rest, staying in Kamigawa for too long, making Azir feel that Uru metal was just a rare material, but after returning to Shurima, he deeply realized the gap between the two civilizations.

The Royal Academy of Sciences, which symbolizes the highest level of science and technology, cannot even parse an element within it, and Azir can only think of another way.

Vicina came in through the door: "Nasus has been nagging me for a long time, and he is really afraid that something will happen to you, the prince. ”

"You didn't tell him you could become...... What does that look like? Vichyna asked.

"Not yet." Azir said.

"Maybe he won't bother you if you tell him."

"Tell him he's going to be scared to death." Azir said helplessly.

Vichyna was still a little worried: "Are you really sure that you have become that ...... Will the Ascended be able to defeat those black snakes unscathed? ”

"Maybe."

Azir smiled, and in the corner of his room, there were two blades that shone with a dark golden glow, and the wind blew in from the window, and as it passed through them, it made an extremely small, shrill whistling sound of being torn.
