Chapter 360: The Shurima Empire, Its Glory Still Remains

"What a waste of self-reflection."

Aatrox interrupted Nasus's memory with a cold voice:

"Nasus, you have been defeated by time, but that doesn't mean that I and other comrades are the same as you."

He looked directly at Nasus with his red eyes shining with gold. Facing Nasus's tired eyes, he said word by word:

"I will protect Shurima that you can't protect!"

"I will defend the glory that you can't defend!"

"I will kill the enemies that you can't defeat!"

"I will do everything you can't do!"

"Nasus, I swear in the name of Aatrox that the glory of Shurima will return to this land! We are the children of the sun, we should be like the scorching sun in the sky, shining with thousands of feet of light!"

A strong and unstoppable aura burst out from Aatrox's body at this time.

Under his aura, Nasus vaguely saw a woman who had passed away thousands of years ago.

The aspirations of Shurima, even if thousands of years have passed, are still engraved in the bones of the people in front of him.

"Aatrox's Glory Crown. Empress Setaka."

Nasus seemed to recall the past, when he had not yet become an ascender.

Under the leadership of the first Empress Setaka and Aatrox's Glory Crown, the invincible Shurima army continued to show its brilliance to the outside world.

Icathia Ixtal Giant God Peak.

The entire continent is full of Shurima's army, and even today, the continent under their feet is still named Shurima.

This is the glory that the ascended gods have ushered in with the strength of the first Empress Setaka for thousands of years.

He always thought that except for the name of Shurima, everything else has become history.

But from Aatrox today, it seems that another possibility has been seen.

"Aatrox's Glory Crown! Shurima Grand Maester Nasus is willing to fight for Shurima again!"

Boom!

Nasus knelt on one knee with his axe in hand, and a golden light burst out from his body.

Compared with the usual great scholar, his momentum at this moment was more aggressive and his will was more determined.

If he was like a harmless scholar who saw through the world before, now he was like a sharp Confucian general.

"Shurima Empire"

Watching the scene between Aatrox and Nasus, Ryan smiled slightly.

This world is big, and it can accommodate several empires to develop at the same time.

But this world is also small, only enough for the Noxus Empire to be the only one in this world.

It is a pity for both Ryan and the Noxus Empire to have no hope of fighting against Shurima at its peak.

But even Ryan does not know how powerful the new Shurima will eventually be.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the Noxus Empire has no rivals wherever it points its spearhead!

Ryan retracted his gaze from Aatrox and Nasus. After the relationship between the two men was repaired, they obviously had a lot to say.

He was not interested in listening to the conversation between the two. This library was a greater treasure for him.

Through the books here, one can undoubtedly understand the ancient Shurima in all aspects. No, maybe now it should restore its past name and call it.

Shurima Empire!

But before that, he still needs to complete the deal with Aatrox.

To find out the truth about Azir's failure to ascend and investigate whether it is related to the Protoss.

Not only Aatrox, he was also quite curious about this.

Although Shurima lost to time and itself, if there was no intervention from the Protoss, the time of destruction might be infinitely delayed.

Even if there could be another figure like the first generation of Empress Wu Setaka, maybe there would be a turnaround for the future of Shurima.

While he was thinking, books with magic restrictions floated up from the bookshelf and opened automatically around him.

He read very quickly. He could finish reading those hundreds of pages of books in just a few seconds.

This time was not enough for him to understand everything, but it was enough for him to memorize all the contents, and file and classify them in his mind for easy reference and use.

After reading these books related to Xerath, he closed his eyes slightly, not caring about what Nasus and the others did, and kept making deductions in his mind.

As Aatrox said, this is completely Xerath's private library, with too many shameful research and records.

Perhaps Xerath was confident that he could succeed in replacing Azir as the ascended god, so he did not process or hide his research at all. Even the magic restrictions in the books could only stop ordinary ascenders at most.

I'm afraid he never thought about the possibility of failure.

Thanks to the outstanding magic attainments of Nasus and Xerath, even after thousands of years, the books and materials here and even the traces of magic are still intact.

According to these detailed books and materials, everything Xerath did back then flashed before him.

The initial joy of becoming a mage with the help of Azir-derived from Xerath's long-term diary.

No mistakes, just read the content of the first post on the 6-9 book forum!

Judging from the magic traces left on it, Xerath had read this early diary at many times, and it was all about happy times with Azir.

The last trace of magic was left later than the traces of other research and books.

At the end of Xerath's early diary, there are two sentences with slightly different handwriting.

"You are the sun in my heart, dispelling the darkness in my heart."

"You are the darkness in my life, behind hope is despair."

Whether this is a struggle of self or a reason for betrayal, Ryan does not know, and he has no intention to explore.

What he cares more about is that he saw an interesting description in this early diary.

"Magic is simply wonderful, the great power of the ascended gods is actually magic! This is a secret that even Azir does not know. It is recorded in a book called "Ascension and Magic". This mage king named Axam must be great."

Ryan read this sentence softly, and turned his eyes to Aatrox and the other two who were waiting patiently.

"This book is not kept in this library, but I think there should be no such book in Shurima."

"Heretical words!" Aatrox said mercilessly.

Ryan smiled. Judging from Aatrox's reaction, even now, magic is despised by the ascended gods.

After all, all civilizations that use magic have surrendered to Shurima, and even the Mage King of Icathia cannot defeat the Ascended God of Shurima.

To say that the two are related is undoubtedly to slap the Ascended God in the face.

"Such books will not be collected in any library. The collection places that His Majesty Azir and Xerath have visited will never have such books." Nasus gave a clear answer.

As the Grand Secretary of the Shurima Empire, he is in charge of all the libraries in Shurima, and each library is built by him personally.

All books entering the library will be approved by him, without exception. Even until now, he still remembers the names of all the books in Shurima.

Even the Royal Library, which is not under his jurisdiction, will not have books about the Mage King. The matter of Icathia has always been a taboo in Shurima that is only circulated among the Ascended Gods.

And at the time mentioned by Ryan, Xerath could not have access to the Royal Library. At that time, Azir was just an unsuccessful prince, and only he had the right to enter the library.

From this, we can clearly draw a conclusion.

Aatrox snorted coldly, with disdain in his tone:

"Interesting, it seems that from the beginning, someone has been secretly doing something that only petty people would do. Tsk, it's really like your style! Protoss!"
