Chapter 190 Ascended? That's Okay

Jace's face was filled with joy, and he clasped his hands on the skinny boy's shoulders with two strong, vise-like hands, and asked in broken Shuriman, "You said Li Lin is back?!"

"Hey! Jace, calm down, you're hurting this kid." The old craftsman of the Gila Mann family reminded.

Jess noticed the boy's pig-liver expression and immediately let go of his hand without apologizing, "Are you sure it's really Li Lin?"

"If...you are talking about the person who is following the Grand Master and wearing a black armor with flashing blue light, I think so." The young man responded, rubbing his painful shoulders.

"Grand Maester?" Jace raised an eyebrow, his face filled with questions, "Who is the Grand Maester?"

"Of course it is Nasus, the great god warrior who is well-known in Shurima!"

At the mention of Nasus, the boy immediately danced and became excited, forgetting even the pain in his shoulder.

The old man hummed twice and whispered in a low voice just enough for Jace to hear: "I told you to read more historical documents before coming to Shurima..."

Jace waved his hand impatiently and turned back to signal the old man to stop talking.

"Of course I've heard of the Celestial Warriors. I read about them a lot when I was studying the Hex Crystal...but that's not the point now."

Jace's eyes returned to the Shurima boy, then he took off a heavy money bag from his waist and threw it into his hand.

The young man's eyes lit up and he opened his money bag without hesitation and took out a shiny gold coin. "Wow! You are so generous, sir!"

"30 gold plates, take me to Li Lin quickly."

"Talis, you gave him too much. With so much money, I'm afraid until tomorrow..."

"That's enough Grant, I've already said it, now is not the time to talk about this!"

The old man shook his head helplessly, sighed and stopped talking.

This guy Jace is really becoming more and more rude...

The young man carefully put the money bag into his clothes, then waved to Jess and ran towards the south gate of Nasramei.

Jace followed the young man closely, leaving the craftsmen standing on the ground looking at each other.

"Are we... going to follow?" asked the young craftsman next to Lanol.

"Of course I have to go!" Before Lanol ​​could respond, Grant, who was standing opposite him, said first, "Didn't you hear what that little guy said? A god warrior! Don't you really want to go and see it?"

The faces of the craftsmen from other families showed a hint of emotion.

Most of them had heard about the Shurima Empire and the Celestial Warriors at their peak thousands of years ago, and naturally wanted to see what they looked like.

Grant blew on his gray beard and asked the young assistant beside him to help him follow Jace and the others.

Ranor gritted his teeth and turned around to signal to the craftsmen of the Myrdalda family: "Let's go, let's follow."

…

…

The southern gate of Nashramei.

Li Lin and others were recognized before they even set foot in the city.

Nasus's recognition is simply too high.

The residents of Nasramei spread the word, and hundreds of people soon gathered near the south gate, just to catch a glimpse of the immortal warrior of the gods.

"Uh, are we being too ostentatious?" Sivir whispered beside Li Lin, looking at the people on both sides of the street.

Although she encountered this situation of being admired by thousands of people in the City of the Sun not long ago, at that time she had assumed the role of a descendant of the Shurima royal family.

What's more, Sivir was not familiar with the City of the Sun at that time, and those people also knew that she was the royal princess.

In Naslamei, everyone only knew her as a mercenary, and this kind of welcoming scene made her quite uncomfortable.

Kassadin glanced at Sivir and seemed to guess what she was thinking, "Don't think too much, they are not welcoming you."

Sivir: "..."

Kasha, who was following Li Lin and Kassadin, covered her mouth and smiled softly.

Fortunately, the people of Shurima were very respectful to Nasus and did not lose their minds and swarm him like some star-struck people on Earth.

They just knelt down on one knee at a suitable distance, crossed their arms in front of their chests, and paid Nasus the highest Shurima courtesy.

But most non-Shurima people don't understand such etiquette, especially someone who never pays attention to such insignificant things.

"Li Lin!" A familiar loud voice came from the end of the street.

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of hurried footsteps, Jace pushed aside the Shurima people blocking his way, ignoring their glares, and ran all the way to Li Lin.

He stretched out his fist and hammered Li Lin's chest armor with an unhappy expression: "You guy! Where did you go?!"

"Well, this rude handsome guy is..." Sivir's eyes turned to Li Lin, "Your friend?"

Li Lin didn't answer her question. He unfolded his mask and stared at the young man in front of him, "Jace? Why are you here?"

"You ask me, I want to ask you too! Why are you running into the desert if you don't do what I entrusted you with? Do you know how dangerous it is?!

"Don't tell me you have this power armor, and... eh?" Jess was stunned when he saw more than a dozen storm robots floating behind Li Lin, "Damn it, you did all this? Are you going to fight? Yet?"

"That's about right... How could I dare to run into the desert without any protection?"

"Even if you have this thing, if you encounter some powerful wizards, ascendants and other monsters..."

"Ahem!"

Before Jace's last words could be spoken, Li Lin quickly cleared his throat and motioned to Nasus, who was standing next to him.

"I forgot to introduce you, this is Nasus, the great scholar of the Shurima Empire, a god warrior who ascended thousands of years ago."

Only then did Jace notice that the jackal-headed god, who was three meters tall, wearing armor and holding a long ax, was standing next to him.

I saw him lowering his head, the scarlet cold light pulsing in his eyes, showing no anger or authority.

Jess suddenly felt like his soul was being seen through, his expression was dull, and he couldn't help but shudder, "Give you water and shade, this... sir?"

He quickly greeted him with Shurima.

"Yeah." Nasus snorted lightly, and then said to Li Lin: "Your friends need you, just leave it to me from Governor Saga."

After saying that, he nodded to Sivir, Kassadin and Kasha, and walked towards the Port Governor's Mansion surrounded by the crowd.

When Nasus walked away, Jace couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "—His! Is this the Ascendant? I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."

Li Lin suppressed the smile in his heart and patted Jess on the shoulder, "Fortunately, the bachelor is more generous and doesn't like to argue with others."

"If it were Nasus's brother Renekton, the Desert Butcher, you would have been cut into two pieces by him and left dead on the street."

Jace frowned and looked away, looking at Sivir who dared to call the god by his name, "Who is this again?"

"Sivir, leader of the Zhai Haruo mercenary group." Sivir introduced himself before Li Lin could.

Jess looked suspicious, "Can a woman be the leader of a mercenary group?"

Sivir was unhappy when he heard this. He raised his chin and said with a disdainful provocation: "You want to test my strength? Even though you are big, I don't even need a weapon to deal with you."

"you……"

"Don't be excited, don't be excited!" Li Lin quickly grabbed Jace, "To be honest, you really can't beat her."

"Even if you can fight her, I guess you wouldn't dare to do it." Kassadin added, "She is a descendant of God Emperor Azir, of royal blood."

Jess: "..."

God-Emperor...Azir?

Jace's eyes widened and he looked Sivir up and down, shock flashed across his pupils, "Is this true?"

Jace looked at Li Lin and saw that he just nodded, and immediately covered his chest, still looking in disbelief.

"But... didn't Azir fall with the Shurima Empire thousands of years ago?"

"Have you heard the recent rumors?" Li Lin shook his head and smiled.

"You mean the rumors that Azir was resurrected and became an Ascended One? Is that true?!"

"Of course it's true, we witnessed his return in the City of the Sun."

Jess wiped the fine cold sweat from his forehead, wondering if he was dreaming now.

The gears turn!

Today is a really crazy day...

"Quick, tell me what you have experienced along the way!"
