Chapter 522 Chapter 520 No War in Icacia
The cripple who changed his fate lit a bonfire in the wilderness, and the two enjoyed a moment of tranquility while eating dry biscuits that had been prepared in advance.
Looking at the night full of stars, Malzaha felt for the first time that the vision he saw was not useless.
It's just that he still can't see the road ahead, because he can see others clearly, but he can't see his own future clearly.
It was as if he would never be able to avoid his father's slap, and could only walk in the darkness, but at least at this moment, he was close to the prophet that the lame uncle said.
...
The land of Icacia is different from the normal landforms. The brown-purple mountain slopes are full of moth-eaten holes, and few plants can be seen on the bare landforms. Only a dark purple sawtooth grass unyieldingly takes root in the There is basically no nutrition in the crevices of the rocks, and I don't know how to survive in such a harsh environment.
Bending down and stroking the edge of the deep purple sawtooth grass with his hand, there was a bloodstain on the man's finger, as if he smelled the smell of blood, the sawtooth grass began to follow the movement of Lester's finger, shaking his head, which looked quite different funny.
Stamping the void grass that wanted to suck his blood to death, Lester looked up at the sky shrouded in purple mist, and held Aatrox.
"Where did you ascenders seal the void?"
"snort!"
There was a rough hum from the big sword, and Lester asked back with a smile.
"Aren't weapons just for use? Could it be that when you go to the toilet and have no paper, you will directly lift your pants? Shouldn't you use your hands or have to use your hands?"
"Hmph! Our noble Ascendants have always used gold-plated frosted butt wipers. Only the lowest Shurima people use cheap things like paper."
Even the well-informed Leicester couldn't help being surprised at the moment.
"Please allow me to ask, what is a 'gold-plated matte butt scouring board'? Grinding... Are you sure this thing is not for sharpening knives or rubbing wood burrs?"
After waiting for a long time, it was finally time for the glory of the Ascended, and Aatrox didn't mind letting the humble and ignorant Lester understand the glory of the Shurima Empire.
"The gold-plated matte wipe board is a noble magic tool made of crystal, also known as 'crystal board' by us, as long as the magic power is poured into the crystal board, it can clean the intestinal tract deeply, and it has the ability to rotate and rinse. You don’t need to use paper to wipe it clean every day like ordinary people, and you will smell bad wherever you go.”
"Ah, this... I don't know why I suddenly thought of some kind of long-winged angel with two wings for day and night... With all due respect, are the buttocks of your ascenders made of iron? Copper intestines and iron walls? "
"Hmph! The butts of our Ascenders are also something that humble maggots like you can speculate at will?"
"Uh, although you can speculate, let's forget it after thinking about it. I don't believe that the butts of your ascenders are delicious."
Looking proudly at Lester, who was somewhat shocked by himself, Aatrox talked a little more.
"Thinking back when the Ascended Legion was invincible, Shurima and all nations in Shurima surrendered, Icacia, who was obedient to the empire, was a vassal state. Who would have thought that these despicable Icathians not only did not know how to be grateful to the empire, but also because the empire refused He chose to rebel against the Ascendant nominated by Icacia, and even killed the noble Ascendant with despicable and dirty means.
Icacia was doomed to be destroyed from the very beginning, even if these villains hadn't dug up these disgusting purple bugs from the ground, Icacia would be wiped out by the Ascended one day, everything is tolerable, only traitors can't be tolerated , must be killed! "
From Aatrox's words, Lester felt the domineering and ruthless Shurima Empire, and could vaguely see the supreme arrogance of the Ascended Legion.
Recalling the conversation between himself and Jax in the cloud forest of Ionia hundreds of years ago, Lester secretly sighed. From Jax’s point of view, the Shurima Empire is out-and-out The kingdom of tyrants doesn’t take the Icacias seriously at all. Just because there are no Icacias in the Ascendant Legion, the Shurima can bully the Icacias at will. In Aatrox’s eyes, being Icacia, blessed by the Shurima Empire, is a despicable traitor. Not only did he betray the suzerain, but he also offended the Ascended Legion.
I am afraid that from Aatrox's point of view, Icacia is like a dog raised in Shurima. It eats its master and drinks its master. There seems to be no other way out but into the pot.
How can dogs be compared with people?
"Haven't you ever considered that the reason Icacia rebelled is precisely because you Shurimans call Icacia people bad people every day?
As far as I know, although Icacia is protected by the Shurima Empire, Icacia also sent troops during the expansion of the Shurima Empire, not just to enjoy the benefits. Why is there no Icacia when dividing the fruits? ? "
Regarding Lester's question, Aatrox said disdainfully.
"Huh, what can those useless Icathians do on the battlefield? All the glory of the Shurima Empire was brought down by the Ascendant Legion. What role can those wastes play? They deserve to share the victory with us fruit?
What's more, the imperial family has long banned the worship of false gods. In this world, only the ascended god warriors are worthy of respect and praise. Those Icathian villains have never changed their ways and insisted on worshiping their mage kings. Those who can't tell the difference Who is the fool of the true god and deserves to be compared with us? "
The story that the Shurima Empire forbids worshiping false gods has long been proved by Janna. Oshra Vazuan was originally a city that worshiped the wind elf Janna. During the rule of the Shurima Empire, Xia abruptly abandoned his belief in Janna, which greatly weakened Janna's power.
At this moment, Aatrox's words let Lester more or less understand why the Shurima Empire has always been so dissatisfied with the loyal Icacias that they refused to give Icacias a place in the Ascension Ceremony ,
The Mage King has been the ruler of the Icacias since ancient times. Worshiping the Mage King can be regarded as a national tradition that the Icacias cannot abandon. Forcing the Icacias to abandon their worship of the Mage King and turn to believe in it. It is unrealistic for the Ascendants to disappear, but how could the arrogant and domineering Shurima Empire care about this, and they did not change their opinions? If he is willing to submit to the rule of the empire, how can he give up the Ascendant quota, which is related to the core national strength, to a half-hearted little brother?
It has to be said that the conflict between Icacia and the Shurima Empire has been impossible to reconcile from the very beginning, there must be a war between the two, the difference is only that it erupts earlier or later.
"Do you know how much the Icathians hate you Shurimans?"
"A group of humble bugs, even though we Shurima are rampant in the country of Icacia, those cowards in Icacia don't even dare to change their faces, they can only apologize, Lester, what threat can a coward's hatred have? Why should you care?"
"Maybe you have a chance to talk to Jax... Saijax. As people of the same era, you should have a lot of topics to discuss."
"Saijax, Saijax, a very familiar name, Saijax...Saijax Kayu-Reince Ikason, the weapon master of Icacia, huh! I remember this Man, I didn't expect this bastard to be alive!"
Aatrox's tone finally had a feeling of gnashing of teeth, which made Lester wonder what kind of existence Jax was in Aatrox's eyes.
"You know Saijax?"
"There is no Ascendant who doesn't know Saijax, as the most powerful and rebellious Shurima rebel in Icacia, he led the group of stupid Koali to kill my companions in Beizek KLMY,
It's fine to kill, but what's even more hateful is that he hung KLMY's naked body on the prison cart used to carry the death row prisoners and paraded it with steel nails. This is eternal shame and hatred. Unfortunately, after the explosion of Icacia I never saw that bastard again,
I thought he had died in a disaster caused by the Icathians, otherwise I would have taken his head off and made a mummy, hanging under the sun disc for a thousand years! "
"So, Saijax really killed the ascended god warrior? How did he do it?"
Regarding Lester's question, Aatrox, who calmed down his anger, chose not to answer, and Lester could only let it go.
After walking for half a day, Lester, who was walking on this barren land, suddenly stopped. He felt the slight vibration of the ground, as if something was moving in the ground.
Lie down and put your ears on the rocks on the surface, the sound coming from the ground is even more obvious, the rustling sound of crawling comes from the underground cavity, which is enough to prove that there are still remnants of life on the land of Icacia. Void creatures.
Lester observed the surrounding environment and quickly found a steep slope against the wall. Lester, who was holding Aatrox, leaned against the steep slope and waited for the uninvited guest to show up.
Within a few minutes, a beetle-like purple bug with the size of a human head flooded in like a tide. These bugs had huge and hard mouthparts, short and thick limbs, and their eyes were rock-shaped like deep purple crystals. , constantly vibrating the membrane wings, looking around, there are thousands of them.
"Aatrox, do you know this void creature?"
"Each of the void bugs I killed was ten meters tall. I don't need to shoot this kind of bug at all!"
"If you don't know, then don't know. See if you can."
Lester immediately named this void creature [Void Beetle]. He held up his big sword and was ready to fight.
...
"Srustling..."
The mouthparts of the Void Beetle staring at Leicester dripped extremely corrosive saliva, and the purple saliva corroded the rocky landscape into small pits. Fortunately, the Void Beetle can't spray acid from the air, otherwise it would be very dangerous for Leicester. Said the trouble will only get bigger.
It doesn't take too much effort to kill these void beetles, and the saliva of the void beetles will not cause damage to Aatrox's sword body. The only problem is that there are too many void beetles. There was no end in sight, and the muttering Aatrox had reached the limit of his patience, and shouted at Lester.
"This kind of low-level void creature that grows by devouring rocks and soil is inexhaustible. I think I used the magic of the gods to kill it directly. The wasteland of Icacia has been hollowed out by the void creature. I don't want to kill it." I know why you are so stupid to bring me to this kind of place alone to seek death, but I suggest that if you want to die, you can go deeper. When you reach the territory of some large void creatures, these small things will naturally recede. You are my bad luck for eight lifetimes."
"It makes sense."
Picking up Aatrox and throwing it on the mountain wall behind him, Lester stepped back without hesitation and quickly climbed up the mountain wall. The void beetle had to take a detour from other places because it was too small to climb rocks. It was Lester who had chosen the escape route for himself in advance, and it really came in handy at this moment.
"It's so hard when you need me, but you're so rude when you abandon me! Lester! Where is your bottom line? What am I in your eyes?"
Putting the cursing Aatrox on his back again, Lester moved his legs and ran deeper, and quickly shook off the void beetle following behind.
After confirming that those troublesome little things couldn't keep up for a while, Lester slowed down. Confirming the direction on the unchanging purple-brown rocky surface was not a simple matter. It roughly distinguishes east, west, north and south.
"Going further south, according to Jax, the province of Saabola, where the void cracks were found, is on the southwest coast. Since it is the origin of the void in Icacia, there must be something there."
Aatrox sneered at Lestat's soliloquy.
"Saabola Province...Leicester, that is a taboo place where it is very difficult for us god warriors to survive. Although it has been sealed by us, there are still many powerful void creatures living and evolving.
I really don't know where you got the courage to use your mortal body to challenge those void creatures. What is your purpose in coming to Icacia? Could it be that you really wanted to throw me into a dark place and seal it up? "
Lester rolled his eyes, and was a little speechless to Aatrox. Thinking carefully about the void consciousness condensed in Runeterra mentioned by the watcher, there was nothing to hide, and Lester was not going to hide it.
"You think too much. I came here just to find a new Void Master. It's probably because you didn't completely clean up the Void Creatures before leaving this sequelae. Now that sequelae is quietly growing."
Lester talked about his own guess, and he could only think of his target as the overly abstract description of the Riddler Monitor.
"Where did you get this news? Lester! Have you become a servant of the void!?"
"You want to destroy the world anyway, don't you, Aatrox?"
