Chapter 347 [0344] Shurima in the Post-Imperial Era

Kalya revealed the name of the first pope of the Sun God Cult in one sentence. Not only was the boss who was trying to preach the gospel quite surprised, but even Lax herself, who was used to using a repeater and subconsciously recited Kalya's words, was shocked.

While using the words "I've heard of her name" to deal with the surprised boss, Lux kept asking Kalya in her mind about the problem of Varieva - you don't know this. You know, but you still say you are not omniscient and omnipotent?

"Who is Valieva?"

"Are you familiar with her?"

"How do you know that she is the first pope of the Sun God Religion?"

"Didn't you say that you don't understand the Sun God Religion?"

Faced with Lux's barrage of questions, Kalya just laughed at first. After laughing enough, she answered them one by one without hesitation.

"Varieva is one of my students, so of course I know her - I have personally led that cunning little bastard for almost twenty years, so I am very familiar with her."

"As for why I know she is the first pope of the Sun God Religion... I can guess!"

"I don't know the Sun God Cult, but this sentence [God serves people] really impressed me. Except for that crazy girl Valieva, I'm afraid no one in Rune Land dares to say this carelessly and openly. A word."

"But I didn't expect that she not only wrote this sentence into the teachings of the Sun God Cult, but also openly covered it with the skin of the Titan Faith, preaching... Hahahaha, don't tell me, this is really This little bastard’s style!”

"You don't know, she has been very good at pulling big flags into tiger skins since she was a child. When she finds an excuse for something, her ability to use excuses is amazing... I never thought that this guy could use this skill on the giant gods. , Hahaha, not bad, good job!”

Kalya's admiring attitude was beyond words, which made Lax completely confused. Kalya did answer all her questions perfectly, but after getting the answer, Lax felt that there were more question marks above her head.

"This kind of thing will not be clear for a while." Sensing Lux's doubts, Kalya finally stopped laughing and continued, "Let's go, find a hotel to stay, and I will slowly talk to you. explain."

Relieved, Lux finally found an excuse to say goodbye to the enthusiastic boss who wanted to preach to her. Together with Ino, she led Scarash and left the livestock market.

After crossing two streets, the two chose a hotel that seemed to be in good condition, checked in smoothly, and finally settled down.

Entering the room, Lux immediately grabbed her sword.

"What on earth is going on, Kalya?" Although she is used to Kalya being reserved when talking about things, this situation still makes her full of doubts, "You mean, the first teacher of the Sun God Religion Zong, is he your student? Is that Varieva still an ascendant? "

"Correct answer!" Kalya said happily, "At least she was still alive and kicking when I fell into hibernation, so in theory she should be alive and well now - although I'm not sure why she created such an interesting thing. The Order, I don’t know where she is now or whether she is alive, but from my perspective, I still feel that she... did a good job. "

"Then we are going to meet her?" Lux blinked, "Go to the Sun God Cult to inquire about it, and then meet with my... senior sister?"

"Well, there's no need to rush." ​​Kalya looked like she had a plan in advance. "Rebuilding Vazuan and leaving the regent Jin Yu. Sooner or later, the news will spread throughout Shurima. If she is willing to see me, then in After seeing everything about Zu'an, she will naturally understand what I mean - for you, the most important thing right now is to climb Mount Targon."

"That's right." Lux nodded, "What's our next step?"

"Keep going, go to Nashrame to change your mount, and then continue all the way west!"

……………………

Just as Kalya said, he took the initiative to expose the golden feather of the Prince Regent in Wazuan, which was already an attitude in itself.

After the Icathia War, although the infected Kalya persisted in presiding over the work for a period of time, he soon fell into a deep sleep. Therefore, for him, from the Icathia War to the Rune War, the middle Thousands of years of history are an unknown blank.

Kalya didn't know where his students had gone or what they had done. He only learned from the brief description of the Darkin war that a war broke out among the Darkin who were infected by the void, and Parting ways.

Other than that, he knew next to nothing about that history.

Although both the surviving ascendants and the infected dark descendants are all Kalya's former students, at least at this moment, Kalya is not ready to face them again - and more importantly, now Lux had just crossed the threshold of transcendence and was not yet qualified to talk to her senior brothers and sisters on an equal footing.

Therefore, Kalya simply left a message of "I am still here" and plunged into the desert sand with Lux.

After saying hello, Kalya took Lux and made a decisive move to become invisible.

He is better at hiding in the shadows than standing on the bright side.

However, Kalya obviously did not expect that the first person to receive his signal was not the few ascenders or dark descendants who had the closest relationship with him, but a "little guy" who was not very close to Kalya because of his young age.

On the eighteenth day after Vazuan announced the reconstruction, in a small town not far from Vikaola, a traveler wearing a cloak and a hood, hiding himself completely in the shadows, heard the news from the discussion of travelers at the roadside tea stall while resting.

"The Golden Feather of the Regent?" He ordered a bowl of the cheapest large bowl of herbal tea, and after sitting down, he placed his cane across his legs, "Teacher Kalya's relics... Who disturbed the teacher's rest?"

While thinking, the waiter at the tea stall placed a bowl of tea that was not much different from water in front of him. He did not choose. After picking up the tea bowl, he just tilted his head slightly and drank the tea in it.

The waiter who had just poured the tea turned around and saw that the tea bowl was empty, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face.

Could this guy have poured out the tea?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the traveler's feet.

The ground was dry, without a trace of water stains, as if this guy had indeed drunk a large bowl of tea in one breath.

"Put more tea leaves next time." The traveler seemed to have noticed the waiter's thoughts. While handing the tea bowl back to the waiter, he whispered, "The tea leaves produced in Shelun are not expensive, and putting two more handfuls will quench your thirst."

As he said that, he pressed a copper coin on the table, picked up his cane, and stood up.

The waiter subconsciously wanted to explain, "We put a lot of tea leaves in our house," but seeing that the other party was more than a head taller than him after standing up... The explanation was finally swallowed back into his stomach, and he could only nod hurriedly.

The other side glanced at the fellow, and the expressionless eyes made the fellow shiver and feel a little dazed.

When the fellow finally recovered, a layer of invisible cold sweat had covered his back.

……………………

After giving the guy who cut corners a lesson, Nasus leaned on the scepter and started his journey again.

His goal was Vikaola.

The reason for going to Vikaola was very simple. Recently, a "descendant of the Eagle King" appeared there.

Since the end of the Rune War and the large-scale war in Runeland subsided, Nasus temporarily bid farewell to the Great Library and took the initiative to walk in the world - the craziest Darkin destroyed themselves in the Darkin War, and some of the rational Darkin either sealed themselves or hid from the world. Those influential figures in the Shurima Empire seemed to have completely bid farewell to the stage of history.

In this case, Nasus finally had the time and energy to find the descendants of the Eagle King and start rebuilding Shurima.

As a witness to the fall of Shurima, Nasus has slightly different ideas from other ascenders. In Nasus's opinion, although Azir and Xerath are the direct culprits for the fall of the empire, there is nothing wrong with Azir's thinking.

If Shurima wants to restore its former glory, a powerful ascended emperor is indispensable.

Although he is only a junior among the ascenders, Nasus has at least experienced the era before the Battle of Icathia, when the Shurima Empire was at its most prosperous. To him, that is what Shurima should be like.

Among the many ascenders, Nasus is undoubtedly a very special one. He ascended when Shurima was at its most prosperous, and personally witnessed several disasters and the final fall of the empire. This situation gave him his own unique understanding of the rise and fall of this country.

After the Battle of Icathia, with the disappearance of the Prince Regent, the originally united Shurima had different ideological trends. Without Setaka and Kalja who could make decisions and convince the public, the Ascendants and the Darkin were dissatisfied with each other, which almost brought the Shurima Empire to the brink of division.

Endless quarrels and endless wrangling, all of which were seen by Nasus. Facing a group of senior Ascendants, he had little say. After watching from the sidelines, he soon realized something.

Only a strong leader can lead Shurima to revive!

In the end, unable to reach an agreement, the Ascendants and the Darkin parted ways unhappily.

The Darkin, led by Aatrox, chose to stay away from the empire and satisfy their desire for killing in the endless war of expanding territory. Their departure also took away the empire's most elite troops.

Not fighting in their homeland was the last mercy of these darkin. After leaving Shurima, their footprints covered almost every piece of land except Freljord. In the wars, the darkin and their warbands almost completely lost their human form and humanity, and fell into the most terrible madness, until a darkin war swept across the entire Runeland.

The mage group and scholars led by Nezuk chose to flee to Ix'tar, hiding their traces with elemental magic, and unilaterally cut off the connection with the Shurima Empire.

Although the Kingdom of Ix'tar was still part of the Shurima Empire in name, since then, the orders from Shurima City could no longer be transmitted to the depths of the rainforest. With both sides having room and steps, Ix'tar achieved a de facto split, and the Shurima Empire also lost its most important granary.

The infrastructure faction headed by the Great Weaver Mother was also exhausted and chose to bid farewell to the center of the empire, leave Shurima City, and take the initiative to stay away from all political disturbances.

They tried their best to maintain the glorious heritage of the Shurima Empire, dredge waterways, maintain oases, and want to preserve everything left by the Shurima Empire's transformation of the desert. Unfortunately, with the successive blows of the Darkin War and the destruction of the empire, a large number of oases became water without a source. Even if these people are still running around, there is no strong country to support them, and the result is ultimately inadequate.

The reconstruction faction headed by Vali Eva believes that they should start from scratch and rebuild the Shurima Empire from the bottom.

When they fought to no avail, they left a sentence "The Shurima Empire is already terminally ill, and it is only a matter of time before it is over if it is not rebuilt", and then like a prophet who sees through everything, they proudly left the Shurima Empire with their heads held high and their chests held high, and eventually disappeared.

The rest, including Nasus and Renekton, some ascenders who were close to the royal family, chose to stay in Shurima City and try to revive Shurima through reform.

However, after losing its powerful army, the mage group, professional craftsmen leaving, and the grassroots starting to lose control, how could the Shurima Empire rely on reform to revive... so easy?

In this case, the Shurima emperor at that time simply gritted his teeth, directly switched to reverse gear, and started the reverse of history.

After he ascended the throne, his first order was "to restore slavery in fact, and clearly stipulate the number and qualifications of slaves according to the difference in social status."

This order, which was enough to revive Setaka, was warmly welcomed by the governors of many cities - why did everyone work so hard for the empire?

When the Shurima Empire was prosperous, it could be said that it was to become an ascender, to leave a name in history, and to be remembered by future generations.

But now... times have changed.

The ascended Empress Wu and the regent prince are gone, and those who really have ideals have left the empire long ago!

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has spoken in person and opened the gap in slavery, the governors and lords of various places naturally welcomed it with open arms.

For a moment, the Shurima high-level officials, who were originally panic-stricken, suddenly united closely around the emperor.

And through this act of reversing history, the Shurima Empire, which was already on the verge of collapse, finally regained some strength. Under the auspices of Nasus, it began to use reforms to reform itself and try to find an opportunity to be great again.

Until Azir, it almost succeeded.

Karya's Little Classroom·The Rise and Fall of the Shurima Empire:

The Shurima Empire, which developed from a small tribe at the beginning, ushered in great development after Setaka climbed Mount Targon and became an ascender, and formed a powerful empire in the process of expansion.

Until Icathia, the void invaded, the Shurima Empire's ascended Empress Wu and the regent prince disappeared, and the empire fell into division. The various factions were dissatisfied with each other. Since everyone was incompetent, they went their own way.

Since then, although the Shurima Empire still has a name, it is no longer the same as its heyday.

Therefore, the Shurima Emperor and the royalists among the Ascendants at that time chose to reverse history, using the restoration of slavery as the first method to consolidate the rule of the empire, and let the Shurima Empire achieve a last gasp when Azir was the emperor.

Then, Xerath betrayed Azir, and the last emperor of Shurima died in the ascension ceremony. The Shurima Empire was completely destroyed. The Darkin who had gone out to conquer no longer had any scruples and turned their guns around, and the Darkin War broke out.

After the Darkin War subsided, Shurima was finally seriously injured and no longer had the prosperous atmosphere of the past.

PS. Today is still a chapter, briefly talking about Shurima after Kalja fell asleep-of course, this is just a simple talk, involving various forces after the empire split, and there is still a lot of content.
