Chapter 544: Shurima Secret Meeting
"Ascension? It's a good idea indeed!"
Sivir was the first to express her thoughts on Azir's suggestion of ascension:
"But I hope there will be a quota!"
"The right person!"
Aatrox just said coldly. He didn't care whether the ascension ceremony was opened or not, but was concerned about who was going to ascend.
Coincidentally, the recent war caused heavy losses to the ascended gods, and they were in urgent need of replenishment.
"Taliyah!"
Azir mentioned the name directly without hiding anything.
Currently, it is known that there is no candidate for ascension in Shurima, and no one is more suitable than Taliyah.
"She... is indeed a good candidate."
Sivir pretended to think for a while and gave her own answer.
Although Taliyah has recently published articles praising Azir in the internal system of Shurima, which caused her a little uneasiness.
But this was something that had been decided long ago. She believed in her and Cassiopeia's vision.
She also believed that in Taliyah's heart, loving Shurima was better than anything else.
Taliyah went to Ionia to study, and her teacher there would give her the right guidance. This was the common idea of Sivir and Cassiopeia.
Moreover, when they accepted the benefits of Ionia, it would not be difficult to find Taliyah's teacher.
With the confidence to control Taliyah, Sivir did not mind giving her a chance.
"Taliyah performed well on the battlefield." Aatrox commented lightly.
If he were to choose, he would not be able to choose anything.
But now Shurima is very short of combat power, which is an established fact.
For him, those who have been on the battlefield with the Protoss can already be used as reserve candidates.
As for the tradition of selecting sages and saints in Shurima, it is worthless in the eyes of Aatrox.
After the collapse of the Shurima Empire, the ambitions and greed of these saints and sages were amazing.
Among all people, only Nasus knew how to restrain himself.
After the three expressed their opinions, they all looked at Nasus.
Although the three agreed that the order could be carried out, Nasus, as a wise man of the empire. Regardless of what Aatrox thinks, Azir and Sivir will still maintain a certain respect for him.
"Taliyah is a good candidate."
Nasus spoke calmly, setting the tone for this matter.
But anyone could hear that Nasus had something else to say next.
Nasus recalled the information that the magic network had conveyed to him before, and there was a hint of toughness in his eyes:
"The Ascension Ceremony should be opened once more. I think Renekton deserves another place."
"Rekton?"
Hearing this name, the eyes of the three people present all flashed.
Everyone present knew Renekton's current unstable situation.
At the same time, they also understood.
Except for Taliyah, if there is anyone else in Shurima who is worthy of ascension, it is indeed only Renekton.
It's not that Renekton is particularly suitable, but there is no other choice at all.
Renekton had ascended once, and although the sequelae were serious, he had fought for Shurima for countless years.
Even after the collapse of the Shurima Empire, it was the other party who dragged Xerath into Setaka's mausoleum, so that the other party was also sealed for thousands of years.
For this point, neither Azir nor Aatrox could refute anything at this special time point.
Just take this opportunity to repay the favor of the Nasus brothers to the empire.
This is what Azir and Aatrox think in their hearts.
After Taliyah became the first choice, Azir didn't think much of the second choice, as it was originally a bargaining chip for the transaction.
And for Aatrox, an ordinary ascender who had just reached demigod was obviously not as good as an ascended god who had ascended twice and might reach the middle-level demigod.
There are not many middle-level demigods in Shurima now.
Azir and Aatrox expressed their agreement one after another.
Then, everyone looked at Sivir.
Although Sivir became the crown prince, she was originally supported by Aatrox to balance with Azir.
But the development of Shurima to date cannot be separated from Sivir's management.
Whether it is the economy, people's livelihood, or politics, Sivir manages them in an orderly manner.
Now Sivir's prestige among the people even exceeds that of the Ascended God and His Majesty the Emperor Azir.
Even if Azir and Aatrox don't care about these, they still recognize Sivir's ability in their hearts.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Especially in this war with the Protoss, although Sivir did not participate in the war, the large amount of weapons and resources transported to the battlefield were the capital for them to persist.
To exaggerate, the armor on each Ascended God was taken from Sivir.
If it weren't for the Darkin carrying their own weapons, even the weapons would come from Sivir.
Not to mention the ordinary army under Azir, all the individual weapons are all derived from Sivir's generosity.
It can be said that Sivir's position in Shurima is no less than that of Azir or Aatrox.
There are only two ascension spots, and one is not given to Sivir. It is hard to say that she has no ideas.
Facing the different looks of several people, Sivir blinked and said with a strange tone:
"Why are you looking at me? Renekton is a very suitable candidate. I will definitely agree."
Looking at the puzzlement in Azir and Aatrox's eyes, Sivir smiled dumbly and said:
"I still have a long time in the future, don't let me miss the next quota, I still have a few good subordinates who are not strong enough and need to be improved urgently!"
"The next quota belongs to you." Azir said lightly.
Aatrox did not speak, but nodded calmly to express his agreement.
According to the current speed of the sun disk accumulating energy, the next ascension ceremony will take at least five years.
Five years is not a long time for the long history of the ascended gods, but it is a long time for Shurima now.
At least during this period of time, they and the Protoss can decide the winner.
Whether they win or lose, the ascension quota will have no meaning for Aatrox.
For Azir, Taliyah is his choice, and in exchange, it is a very common thing for Sivir to belong to the next time.
Nasus, who knows the thoughts of the other two, looks at Sivir deeply.
In his heart, he has to admire this girl who is only half a century old.
Obviously, the other party had no intention of fighting for this quota, but they had already obtained the greatest benefit.
He, Aatrox and Azir all gave Sivir what she wanted most.
As for the quota for ascension itself, for Sivir, who had a weak foundation, there was no chance for independent choice for the first time.
Based on Nasus's understanding of Sivir's subordinates, the most likely candidate for ascension was Lucian, the former deputy leader of the Ascended Pirates.
Not to mention the other party's personality and ability, if he was not born in Shurima, he would be rejected by everyone.
But now the situation has reversed. If Sivir nominates Lucian for the second ascension, Azir and Aatrox may have some complaints, but they will most likely agree in the end.
Of course, the premise of everything is that Shurima can hold on until the next ascension starts.
