The next day, Elaine arrived early outside Zuochi's residence.

"General, the trial is about to begin, and if you want to watch, we should go."

After tidying up, Zuochi followed Elaine to the back of the palace, where a majestic tower of snow-white stood in the very center of the entire Seooken.

Looking at the giant tower in front of him, Zuo Chi tilted his head and asked:

"This is the place of trials? I thought the trial was about breaking through a level or a competition to kill someone. ”

Hearing Zuo Chi's bloody words, Elaine shook her head quickly: "Of course not, the trial is just to test the princess's magical talent and the degree of cultivation of the original axioms." ”

"Primordial Axiom?"

Zuo Chi was a little curious: "What is that?" ”

Hearing Zuo Chi ask about this, a look of pride couldn't help but appear on Yelena's face.

"In the minds of the people of Ishtar, the magic of the entire world is a confluence of many physical forces, and we are the only ones who have complete control over this power.

The full permutations of elemental magic, from the simplest to the most complex, are determined by a set of axioms.

The greater the control of the princesses over the primordial axioms, the stronger their natural talents and magic. ”

Hearing Elaine's explanation, the expression on Zuo Chi's face was a little exciting, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a helpless arc.

At this moment, Zuo Chi couldn't help but have an understanding of the original axioms, and at the same time an understanding of Ishtar's invincible self-confidence.

Seeing that Zuochi did not speak, Elaine continued to explain: "The central tower in front of us is the place where the original axioms are taught in Esioken, and it can be said that it is the most sacred place in the whole of Ishtar. ”

"I see." Zuo Chi nodded slightly.

In this way, under the leadership of Elaine, the two quickly passed through the crowd and entered the interior of the white tower.

Ordinary people are not eligible to enter the central tower, and subsequent trials will be broadcast outside the tower by means of magic projection for the people outside to watch.

The extreme elemental magic was condensed in the giant tower, and warriors dressed in strange costumes and holding magic staff stood on both sides of the corridor, watching Zuo Chi and Elaine walk by.

Soon, Zuo Chi and Elaine came to the central area of the entire giant tower, where there was a huge transparent empty chamber with a diameter of nearly ten meters.

The empty room seems to be made of transparent crystal, and the interior constantly reflects the brilliance of many elemental magic.

"This is the place of trials, and this is also the geometric center of Ishtar, or even the all-runeterra. General, let's just watch here on the periphery, we can't go any further. ”

Zuo Chi nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

At this time, there were already a lot of royal family members gathered here, but Zuo Chi didn't pay attention to them.

There was a deep black light under his eyes, and Zuo Chi's gaze seemed to penetrate directly through the outer wall of the empty room, reaching its central area.

[Vidalian

Rank: Legendary Middle

Special note: Ishtar's magical creatures, which have been passed down for thousands of years, can weave magic into material entities. 】

"Oh?"

Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows, and he said why this is the so-called holy place, it turns out that it is because there is a middle-level legendary-level magic artifact hanging above this empty room.

This level is already at the same level as the Eternal Flame in Jax's hands, and it can almost be said to be the inheritance treasure of the entire kingdom.

But to hang such a treasure there, and to let an outsider come in to visit, Ishtar is really big enough.

Waiting quietly on the periphery, the trial soon began with the appearance of Ian, the old king of Ishtar, whom Zuochi had seen yesterday, and the trial began.

Under the guarded by the soldiers, ten girls dressed in different temperaments strode into the hall.

As sisters, the ten girls all have similar white hair and wheat-colored skin, and each of them has a strong elemental magic flowing through their bodies.

And at the very end of these ten girls, Zuo Chi saw the girl holding a ring blade with an unruly expression.

Chiana!

At this time, compared with the previous nine sisters, Qiyana seemed very excited, and seemed to have been looking forward to this trial for a long time.

It was also at this time that Zuo Chi learned the true rules of this trial.

Due to the special abilities of the holy relic Vidalian, the ten princesses will enter the empty room and then exert the elemental magic under their control to the maximum, while Vidalion will condense all the magic released by these princesses into strange magic crystals.

The size, number, and purity of the magic crystals will be the criteria for the trial.

And that's not all, the most important thing is that the princess who performs the best in the trial will receive all the magic crystals as the trophy of the trial, and Vidalion will also convert these crystals into magic power again and input them into the winner's body, greatly increasing its magic strength.

Looking at the princess in front of him, Zuo Chi asked Elaine beside him, "Which of them do you think will win?" ”

"Of course, it's His Highness Kiana, but it's also possible for His Highness Inesa, after all, she is the oldest, twelve years older than Her Highness Kiana." Elaine said thoughtfully.

"Do you think Kiana will be praised by the old king after her victory?" Zuo Chi asked again.

Elaine looked at Zuo Chi as if she was looking at a fool: "Of course it will, after all, it is the princess, his daughter." ”

"I don't think so."

"Why?" Elaine looked puzzled.

Zuo Chi shook his head slightly: "Everything I want is written on my face, this is not a stupid thing that a qualified empress should do." ”

In Elaine's doubts, the trial soon began, and the eldest princess, Inesa, walked into the huge empty chamber under the watchful eyes of most of the people of Ishtar.

Outside, every viewer clenched their fists nervously, looking forward to the performance of this future heir to the throne.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the empty room shone with an extremely dazzling blue light, and a very powerful water elemental magic burst out, constantly surging into the sky above the empty room.

There, a strange crystal began to glow blue after absorbing the water elemental magic unleashed by Inesa, and a fist-sized blue magic crystal began to emerge in the empty room.

As a legendary artifact, Vidalion can transform magic into various forms, but now it is clear that all it takes is to condense magic crystals.

Anesa's magic condensed a total of thirty-six blue crystals, followed by the magic of the fire elemental and the wood elemental, and finally condensed a total of one hundred and seven crystals the size of a fist.

Outside, looking at Anesa's performance, the old king's face had a look of relief from the old heart.

I have to say that my eldest daughter's magical talent is still very high, and she has a calm mentality, and she is almost a perfect heir to the throne.

After Inesa, her sisters walked into the empty room one after another.

However, they were much younger than Inesa, and they had not studied the original axioms as long as Inesa, so none of the magic crystals they were able to condense were as many as Ineza.

However, there was nothing unconvinced on their faces, on the contrary, many people felt that they were here today to make magic crystals for their eldest sister.

Until the last princess appears!

Looking at the huge empty room in front of her, Qiyana, who was holding the ring blade, had a strong confidence on her face, and she glanced at her nine sisters with disdain before even entering the empty room.

Outside, Zuo Chi looked at the girl in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but have a look of interest.

In the next moment, the empty room was filled with powerful magic, and unlike any previous time, this time the empty room was lit up with three colors of light at the same time!

The three gems on the ring blade in Kiana's hand lit up, and brilliant magical lines flew around her, and the air generated by the magic blew her long hair upward, setting off her divine and beautiful.

"Buzz!"

With the light of the relic, Vidalian, the first blue magic hedron began to appear, followed by the second red and the third green

Kiana closed her eyes tightly, and the magic hedron began to appear rapidly around her, and the neatly arranged hedron even formed a wall to completely block Kiana from it.

When the light completely dissipated, Qiyana was surrounded by nearly three hundred magic crystals of different colors, almost three times the size of Nesa!

Looking at this scene, the people watching from the outside world couldn't help but gasp, and they could even be sure that Qiyana was definitely the most talented princess in the history of Sytar.

Soon, after the trial, Kiana walked out of the empty room, and the expression on her face could almost be described as radiant.

Looking at the old king Ian above, Qiyana said directly: "Father, have you seen it, I am the strongest!" ”

Ian looked calm and bowed slightly: "Qiyana, you have to continue to work hard in the future, and you can't slack off." ”

Kiana nodded affirmatively, "Of course, father, I am destined to become the most powerful Elemental Envoy ever made by Ishtar!" ”

"Huh."

Ian also smiled: "It should be like this, so that you can better assist your sister in the future and let Ishtar go to a new height." ”

Zuo Chi: "Puff~!" ”

In the silent hall, Zuo Chi's laughter seemed a little abrupt, but people didn't look at him, but at Kiana below.

Obviously, this is no longer the old king teaching Chiana to recognize her position, and they all feel that what the old king has done is not wrong.

Below, when Kiana heard her father's words, she only felt that something hit her heart hard, and what she had been waiting for for a long time seemed to be completely shattered at this time.

"Alright, Kiana, you can start absorbing these magic crystals."

Ian waved his hand slightly, "As for the others, let's disperse, we can start this year's celebration." ”

"Wuhu~!"

As the king announced the start of the celebration, everyone cheered and left, and even Anesa, who was not too good-looking, followed his eight sisters to the outside of the tower.

Soon, the entire hall was left with Chiana and an old mage in charge of teaching her original axioms, and, of course, Zuochi and Elaine standing on the outermost side.

Looking at Qiyana, whose expression had become extremely flat in front of him, Zuo Chi knew that it was time.

Late at night, the city of Ishoqu was still reveling, and the people took to the illuminated streets, enjoying various performances and tasting many delicacies.

But in the deepest part of the palace, in a somewhat lonely palace, Kiana stood in front of the window, quietly staring at the lively crowd in the distance.

All nine of her older sisters went to the celebration, and everyone had a cheerful smile on their faces.

Chiana knew why.

The eldest sister, Inesa, will never have to worry about not being able to inherit the throne, and the other eight sisters will never be upset that the throne will not fall to them, because their abilities are mediocre and cannot be compared with the eldest sister.

Because of this, they will have no worries and enjoy their happiness as princesses.

But Kiana couldn't!

She didn't understand why a mediocre man who was so much weaker than herself could become the heir to the throne, while a genius like herself could only be her foil.

During the day, her father's words still echoed in her ears, which made her heart extremely unbalanced, and even had many thoughts that she shouldn't have at one point.

"You want to be the future empress of this kingdom, right?"

Suddenly, as Kiana stared into the distance in a daze, a male voice suddenly came from behind her that she had never heard before.

Kiana's body suffocated, then she turned around sharply, picked up the ring blade beside her, and rushed straight ahead.

"Ding!"

In the next moment, with a crisp sound, Qiyana's ring blade was easily pinched out by the man in front of him with two fingers, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

Zuo Chi stood quietly in front of Kiana like this, watching her expression change from flat to frightened.

"You want to be the future empress of this kingdom, right?" Zuo Chi asked again, and at the same time let go of Kiana's ring blade.

"Who are you!"

Taking a step back slightly, Qi Yana looked at Zuo Chi with a wary expression: "How did you end up here!" ”

Kiana could be sure that there was no such thing as a man in front of her in the entire kingdom of Ishtar who could block her attack with two fingers.

At least, not in the royal palace!

Shrugging his shoulders disappreciatively, Zuo Chi came to the table behind him and sat down: "I think you should answer my question first, maybe I can help you achieve it?" ”

Qiyana's eyes were filled with violent turmoil, and the hands holding the ring blade tightened a little unconsciously.

Seeing this, Zuo Chi shook his head and chuckled: "What is a teenage girl, you write all your thoughts on your face like this, and you don't know how to hide it, you will suffer a big loss in the future." ”

"I want to know your identity!" Kiana repeated.

"Okay, okay."

Although he knew that he would be exposed sooner or later, Zuo Chi still said, "I was sent by the great Lord Moffett, so I can help you achieve your goal." One last time, I want to be the empress, right? ”

When she heard Moffett's name, the vigilance on Kiana's face finally decreased: "You were sent by Lord Moffett?" ”

As the patron saint of Ishtar, almost every Ishtar people have a heartfelt respect for Moffett.

"Of course!"

Zuo Chi nodded with a look of conviction: "Lord Moffitt, as the patron saint of Esutar, naturally sees the current situation of Esutar, and he also doesn't want to see your talent buried. Master Moffett also told me that you are a brave girl who dares to resist the invasion of the outside world, and that Ishtar needs a controller like you, and he doesn't want to watch Ishtar, whom he has guarded for thousands of years, fall into decay in the hands of those old stubborns! ”

"But."

Hearing that Zuo Chi knew so much about Ishtar and Moffet, Kiana's heart was already shaken.

She wanted to say something again, but soon said in annoyance: "What should you use to convince my father, not to mention that I have nine sisters!" ”

"Nine sisters?"

Zuo Chi tilted his head and smiled: "Nine accidental deaths, are you right?" ”

Kiana didn't speak.

Zuo Chi raised his hand and pinched Kiana's chin, forcing her to look at him, and Zuo Chi's voice was full of bewitchment:

"Don't tell me you don't have such thoughts in your heart."

Zuo Chi's words were like whispers from the abyss, staring into his eyes, and Qiyana couldn't move away for a while.

At the end of the day, everything Zuochi said was exactly what she was talking about.

In Zuo Chi's faint smile, it took a long time for Kiana to turn her head and no longer look at Zuo Chi.

"Nine accidents? I'm afraid that when the first scene just happened, my father was already suspicious of me, and I talked about nine more games! Kiana said coldly.

And when Zuo Chi heard Qi Yana's words, he knew that the girl was really tempted.

"What if?"

Zuo Chi leaned closer to Qiyana and asked in a low voice, "If all nine of your sisters died in accidents, do you want to become the empress of this kingdom?" Become the owner of the entire kingdom! ”

"Will Master Moffett admit me?" Kiana's tone had become extremely shaken.

"Yes."

Zuo Chi nodded slightly: "He will, because. I'll go to him, and he'll admit it, even if he doesn't. ”

"What do you want?"

Even if Qiyana was blunt, she realized that Zuo Chi must have some plan.

"I don't mean anything."

Zuo Chi's expression was very indifferent: "I can assure you that everything you do in the future is something you do willingly, not forced by me." ”

"I only hope that after you become the empress, you will be able to lift the policy of seclusion and isolation of the country and vigorously develop the military strength of the Israel, which does not seem too much?"

"This time, can you tell me, do you want to be the empress of Ishtar?"

By this time, it was as if Pandora's box had been opened, and Kiana had no scruples.

She nodded deeply: "If I could, I would like to!" ”

"That's enough!"

Zuo Chi raised his hand and touched Kiana's head: "What a brave girl, you just need to wait here to ascend the throne." As for your frank and naïve character, you will lose a lot in the future. ”

When the words fell, Zuo Chi's figure had completely disappeared in front of Qi Yana.

If it weren't for the fact that the hair on her forehead was still a little messy, Qiyana even felt that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Who the hell is he"

But no matter who he was, there had never been a moment when Kiyana was so sure of the obsession in her heart as she was now.

"A great empire deserves a virtuous empress, and I, Kiana, were born for this!"

——

The left pool tore through the protective barrier outside of Ishtar, turning into a streamer of light and sweeping straight into the depths of the jungle of Ishtar.

Although the death of the nine princesses of Ishtar is just a matter of fingertips, it will also make everyone shift the suspicion to Kiana, which is very detrimental to her future rule.

What's more, Zuo Chi also needs to let Ishtar see the absolute crushing power of Shurimar by the way.

So, Zuo Chi needs a very special accident!

But before that, Zuo Chi still needs to talk to the monolith that once participated in the First Void War.

After all, as the patron saint of Ishtar, he still has some say in the ownership of Ishtar's royal power.

The figure flickered rapidly in the jungle, and soon Zuo Chi had already crossed hundreds of miles.

And just as Zuo Chi was getting closer and closer to the place where he had met Moffett, his figure suddenly stopped suddenly.

Suspended in the air, turning his head to carefully feel the breath coming from the west, Zuo Chi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

The breath of the void, and it's not the breath of the void in general!

Having just separated from Pelvis, perhaps no one is more familiar with this aura than Zuo Chi.

"What is she doing in Ishtar? There doesn't seem to be anyone here who can help her? ”

Even so, Zuo Chi still flew in the direction where the breath came from.

As he approached, he also saw the canyon from the sky that he was extremely familiar with.

Looking at the familiar upper, middle and lower three roads, as well as the rivers and dragon pits, Zuo Chi only felt that the softest place in his heart was touched.

Although he had never been there in person, it was arguably the place he knew best.

After all, he had wandered here countless times before.

Falling from the sky, Zuo Chi passed through the barrier outside the Summoner's Canyon that could isolate the breath, and at the same time, he also saw the figure in front of him standing in the middle of the river, and in front of her stood an ugly canyon pioneer who had been completely infected by the void.

Empress of the Void - Bervis!

When Zuo Chi looked at Belvis, she also looked at him with some surprise.

But then, Bervis saw Zuo Chi's somewhat heart-warming expression.

Bervis: "??? ”

Zuo Chi rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and came to Bervis, who was standing in front of the big dragon pit.

"I just happened to meet it, do me a favor."

Bervis flickered with his wings and looked at Zuo Chi with some surprise: "What? ”

She was full of curiosity about the human beings in front of her, and she was an enemy of her before, but now she was so suddenly so enthusiastic.

Even if she fused the minds of the people of a city, she couldn't guess Zuo Chi's intentions.

Zuo Chi coughed lightly: "It's just a small favor, help me kill a few people." ”

Bervis: "??? ”

You're a special nuclear bomb to fight mosquitoes, aren't you?

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

Bervis did not refuse Zuo Chi, after all, she and Zuo Chi are allies now, and she also doesn't think that Zuo Chi wants to harm her, and even so, she is not afraid, because she will definitely devour everything in this world!

Facing Bervis's question, Zuo Chi shook his head: "The relationship here is more complicated, if I take action myself, they won't be loyal to Shurima." ”

Nodding slightly, Bervis didn't say anything more.

"Not yet, I need some time."

"Boom!"

Just as Bervis's words fell, there was a sudden violent noise under the river under Zuo Chi and her feet, followed by the sound of a giant swimming in the water.

A huge shadow hundreds of meters long was approaching upwards at a rapid speed from the river where the road at the bottom was located.

As the shadow slipped past the feet of Zuochi and Belvis, it entered the huge circular crater nearly a hundred meters in diameter in front of it, and it even circled the cavern around the pit.

Immediately after, a terrifying creature covered in dark purple scales broke through the sealed ground, and half of its body soared straight into the sky.

"Roar!"

With a piercing hiss, the creature that Bervis had been waiting for for was completely exposed to her and Zuo Chi.

Baron Nash!
