"What are you two trying to do!"
However, just as Li Ke and Nasus were about to start fighting, Sarah came between them and stared at Li Ke and the Houndhead Man who was about to start a fight for no reason. She didn't quite understand the conversation between Li Ke and Nasus, but she roughly understood that Nasus wouldn't give up on the slavery system in a short time, while Li Ke didn't intend to let the slavery system exist in the first place and didn't want to waste too much time, so he came up with a more risky method, but the kobold didn't agree.
And then, the two of them were about to fight.
Even if pirates wanted to fight, it wouldn't be as fast as you two!
Sarah hugged Youmi, who was clawing at Nasus crazily in the air and meowing threateningly from time to time. She didn't want to see Li Ke fight with an enemy that she couldn't interfere with at all. Besides, she didn't agree with some of Li Ke's ideas and felt that Li Ke was too naive. But she liked this kind of naivety, so she wanted to end this battle and get rid of Sivir, so that Li Ke could continue to drift in the sea with her.
"Why don't you ask the person involved?"
Thus, she gave a suggestion to stop the two people who were at daggers drawn.
Because this suggestion was much better than them fighting.
…
"So, I'm really the last descendant of the Shurima Empire, the legitimate heir of this country? And you're going to assist me and make me the queen of Shurima? "
Sivir looked at Nasus's doggy face and then at Li Ke with a dull expression.
"I always thought that you were lying. Please tell me that it's not true."
However, Li Ke shook his head and told her to stop dreaming.
This reality made Sivir grab her hair in pain. She agreed to pretend to be the last descendant of the Ascended because there were too many people who did so, and not too many people would care. Besides, she thought that Li Ke was just looking for someone, so she agreed.
But how would she know that she was the real one! She could pretend to be a fake, but she would lose her life if she did!
Sivir thought back to those lords who fought wars every year in order to prove that they were the true descendants of the Eagle King. She felt as if a dozen huskies had run into her heart and were capable of tearing apart an aircraft carrier. She didn't feel good at all.
"The only thing I can't do now is to not reveal my true identity. Otherwise, I'll be finished."
She didn't doubt it because she also knew the name of the Lost Child of the Desert. This wasn't a fake rumor, but a mythical figure who really appeared to them. If such a person said that she was the last descendant of the Eagle King, then even if she wasn't the real one, she would still be the real one. The overlords would also treat her as a must-kill target or a target for marriage. The latter would also kill her inexplicably after she gave birth to a child or two.
In other words, no matter what, she was doomed. Whether it was her dream of becoming a great mercenary or her life, it was all over.
"This is your destiny," Nasus said to Sivir.
Nasus could only say this to Sivir upon seeing her pained expression, but it only made her feel even more pain. Li Ke, who understood her nature, twitched the corner of his mouth and spoke.
"After you become the queen, Shurima's treasures will be yours."
Li Ke's words made Sivir raise her head and glare at him angrily. Then, she broke the doubtful atmosphere.
"Then where can I find treasures filled with gems and gold coins that are easy to obtain?!"
Her words caused Nasus to open his mouth wide. Youmi also raised her head and made an expression that said, "You're being naughty." She waved her claws, and Sarah burst out laughing.
Li Ke remained expressionless.
His face was expressionless.
Sivir knew that she exposed her thoughts too quickly, so she sat on the stool with Li Ke and Nasus standing beside her. She shrunk her neck and carefully explained her actions.
"Ah … Erm, I just wanted to verify the authenticity of the information. I definitely didn't think of running away after taking the money, really."
Nasus covered his forehead with his hand and sighed helplessly. He blamed himself more and more. After all, if he had pulled himself together earlier, he would have been able to teach Sivir when she was young. He definitely wouldn't have let her do what she did, which was a disgrace to the Ascended Bloodline and Shurima.
"Gold and gems should be tools for you, Your Highness. They shouldn't be things you pursue."
Li Ke shook his head and sighed. He looked at the cowering Sivir, who didn't look like a hero at all. He then looked at the worried Nasus. He asked Sivir his question.
"Sivir, if your empire is built on countless slaves and people who can only work hard for the rest of their lives, would you accept it?"
Sivir hesitated for a moment because this was the life of the nobles and old men that she had seen in the past. She naturally felt that if she wanted to rise above others, she had to be like them.
But in the end, she shook her head.
"I'm not made for a queen. I'm used to cooking for myself. But it's not impossible for me to take care of them with gold coins. After all, it's only right for me to take care of them. Well, that's if I have the gold coins. "
However, she didn't because even though Li Ke promised to give her money, the one in charge of the money was Sarah.
Nasus heaved a sigh of relief, but he had no choice but to step forward.
"But if we don't do that, we will release a monster that destroyed Shurima thousands of years ago. Even if my brother Renekton and I work together, we can only barely suppress that monster … And you, you are the target of that monster."
Sivir's expression changed. She looked at Li Ke for help. On the other hand, Li Ke nodded and didn't refute Nassus's words.
Instead, he added, "But there's a 50% chance of success."
Li Ke's plan was to awaken the Undead King Azir and attack Zerath. And if Sivir couldn't awaken Azir, he had a plan B, which was to drain Renekton's physical strength and make him temporarily lose his combat strength. Then, he would be filled with the power of an ascender and attack Zerath together with Nasus. Of course, there was a preparation for this plan, which was to set up outside the tomb for half a month and turn the place into a forest. Then, when Renekton and the others charged out, he could use the power of nature to control Renekton. And no matter how weak Nasus was, he should be able to hold off Zerath for a few minutes.
This way, they would have a chance of winning.
"Then, in this plan, am I in danger?"
But Sivir instinctively felt that something was wrong because she felt a chill run down her spine.
Li Ke turned his head away guiltily, because he had a plan C. If the forest couldn't stop Renekton, and if Azir couldn't resolve the knot in his heart, then he would stab Sivir's kidney in the back and let Azir complete his redemption. After everything was settled, Sivir and Azir would know that he had the ability to save her, and at most, they would blame him for a period of time. He just had to endure the Tsar's rage for a short period of time … But Renekton didn't say anything.
However, Sivir also got her answer from his performance.
"Ah, then forget it."
She rejected it very decisively.
