Chapter 500: Judgment of the Star Spirits, There Will Be a Battle
Two months later.
Cassiopeia was called to the floating island again.
Sivir put down the wine cup in her hand, looked at the sunset in the distance, and sighed softly:
"Is this what you mean by wait and see?"
"What do you mean?"
Being busy with government affairs for the past two months, Cassiopeia did not react quickly.
"Today in the suburbs, someone wanted to assassinate Azir, but was stopped by Talia." Sivir said calmly.
"It is her responsibility to protect Azir. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but they have been traveling together a lot." Cassiopeia replied.
If she remembered correctly, this was Azir's sixth trip this month.
After the external military was temporarily handed over to the new Ascended God and Commander Xiluo, Azir seemed to have entered the retirement mode.
From time to time, he would appear in various places in Narimaj, like an ordinary idle person.
A month ago, when Azir first came out, he did not hide his identity.
At that time, Azir had caused quite a stir in Nerimaj.
But now, he disguised himself as an ordinary Shurima, followed Taliyah around, and listened to her talk about what was happening in Nerimaj.
"The assassin's soul was extracted by Azir himself, and it has been confirmed that it was the Judgment Aspect." Sivir continued.
After hearing this, Cassiopeia raised her eyebrows: "The Judgment Aspect is someone who would do such a thing."
"I thought you did it." Sivir smiled.
"You understand me." Cassiopeia smiled and spread her hands, "If I did it, Talia would definitely be seriously injured."
Sivir looked strange, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's just as you said, Talia was seriously injured."
"No way," Cassiopeia sneered, "Is His Majesty Azir so heartless that he didn't even protect that poor little thing."
"I protected her, but failed. To be able to assassinate Azir, it is obvious that he has some skills. The assassin's strength is comparable to that of a demigod, but he is a dead man." Sivir meant something.
As a partner for so long, Cassiopeia immediately understood what Sivir meant, "Do you think the mastermind behind this is the Empire?"
"It can be confirmed that except for the Empire, I don't think other forces have such a big hand." Sivir said.
"The Judgment Star Spirit is backed by the Star Spirit, which is not weaker than the Empire's foundation. Several demigods can still come up with it."
Although Cassiopeia said so, she also thought that it was most likely the Empire.
But even if she said it out, no one would believe it.
Just like what she said just now, the background behind the Protoss is not weaker than that of the Empire.
She even suspected that the assassin used magic directly, which is the method that Noxus is best at.
The soul was found to be instructed by the Judgment Protoss, which was just the Empire's tampering with the memory of the dead man.
"What does our King Azir say? What is his reaction?" Cassiopeia asked.
In her opinion, this should be considered a test, a test of the relationship between Azir and Talia.
"Very angry."
Sivir smiled slightly:
"As for whether it is because Talia was injured or her dignity was provoked, I am not sure."
"Just now, Azir has decided to lead the army in person, recruit four ascended gods including Xiluo, and send troops to the location of the Judgment Protoss."
"Sending troops again? According to the news from the front line, it seems that the Protoss is slowly freeing up its hands. King Azir will lose this time." Cassiopeia is not optimistic about this action.
"It's normal to lose. I even doubt that Azir can mobilize those ascended gods." Sivir said with a smile.
"Which ones have been recruited?" Cassiopeia asked curiously.
"Xilo, Ramos, Naganeka, Ta'anari." Sivir said.
"Ramoth and Xilo are fine. We must support His Majesty Azir this time. What about the other two?"
Cassiopeia looked at Sivir, as if asking for her opinion.
"Aatrox doesn't think highly of Azir, but he won't do too much. Ta'anari probably won't go, and Naganeka may go for the sake of formality." Sivir said with a smile.
"You asked me to come this time because of this operation." Cassiopeia said helplessly.
"Really smart." Sivir praised, "If Ta'anari doesn't go, I hope you can take his place."
"Are you going to confront Aatrox?" Cassiopeia said in surprise.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
This behavior of not following Aatrox was definitely a provocation in the eyes of the other party.
"He is holding his breath now. He will not do anything until the Protoss is completely resolved."
Sivir shook her head and continued:
"The last time the Crown's actions not only caused chaos in the heavens, but also made Aatrox realize his own shortcomings. He now has no naive idea of killing the heavens alone."
"Compared to the slight frustration of waiting, he is more afraid of failing again in the face of the Protoss." Sivir said.
"Anyway, you are the crown prince of Shurima, and I will listen to your arrangements. With our strength, we are enough to fight against that guy." Cassiopeia replied.
They have not done nothing these days. Using methods such as kindness and force, the two weaker ascended gods have secretly surrendered to them.
The Ascended Gods are also human beings. After the collapse of the Shurima Empire, the desires suppressed by the endless years of sages suddenly broke out.
The Ascended Gods during the Darkin War fought for their own desires and killed each other to satisfy themselves.
Now, even if Aatrox digs them out, they can't return to the sage state of the past.
Although Aatrox is very powerful, he is far behind Sivir in satisfying desires.
Sivir is now more determined to have the concept she had since childhood.
Money can buy everything, including loyalty.
If it can't buy it, it just proves that money is not enough.
The two separated after a short chat.
On the way back to her residence, Cassiopeia unexpectedly received a message from Nasus.
The message was sent through the identity bracelet, absolutely safe and confidential.
Cassiopeia frowned slightly, looking at the magnificent Shurima Palace from afar:
"Even the Grand Maester was called to treat him personally. Has your bond reached this level?"
She sighed slightly, twisted her snake tail and walked forward again, and the barely audible whisper sounded again:
"Even His Majesty Azir is just a chess piece that is played with at will, what about others? I, Sivir, and even Aatrox, perhaps a long time ago, have been a chess piece on the chessboard."
After Cassiopeia finished speaking, she looked up at the starry sky.
At the end of the starry sky, it seemed that a Noxian emblem hidden behind was hanging.
