"It's good that you know."
Hanson didn't say anything else. In fact, after Leona told him about it, he flew to Vicaula and saw with his own eyes the forest that Li Ke had created with magic. He also saw the people who worshipped Li Ke as a God because of this miracle.
That was why he agreed to help because he wanted to see Li Ke's true purpose. But now, he was disappointed because Li Ke's true purpose wasn't the land under his feet at all. His goal was much further away than he imagined. Judging from the current state of the wine bottle, it was impossible to see through it.
But the only thing that could be seen was his wild ambition.
Li Ke picked up the magic staff that had been cut in half, and used his ability to produce a kind of sturdy magic tree to wrap the crystal at the top, and then made a new magic staff. Then, the convoy continued to move forward. Before nightfall, they successfully approached the ruins where countless grave robbers were buried and Shurima's glorious past.
"Does anyone need to take a break?"
Nasus gazed at the former capital of the Empire that had turned into a flat land after countless years of wind and sand. His eyes revealed a complicated expression, but this time, he wasn't as lost in thought as before. Instead, he quickly broke away from his memories and turned to Sivir.
"I still need some time to set up the place. Nasus, can you tell me where the underground water source is? If I only rely on my plants, it will be difficult for me to fill this place with plants in an instant. "
Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward. His plants couldn't grow in a place without water. Otherwise, he would have to plunder the magical energy wantonly. There weren't many nutrients in the sand to begin with, so this desert would die completely and wouldn't be able to produce any life forms for decades.
"No need. As long as Charica and Sivir appear at the same time, I will have a way to revive the former Dawn Oasis. When that happens, your battle strength will increase by an incredible amount. But in order to do so, we will need the help of these friends. They must help us stop him … or them, when we activate the Dawn Oasis. And it will take about ten minutes. "
After Nasus finished speaking, he looked at the three Star Elves who had been silent all this while. They were chosen by the gods to ascend without going through the ritual of the sun disc. The three of them maintained their indifferent looks and nodded. Nasus didn't mind because there was nothing to talk about between them. Although they were all ascenders who inherited divine powers, they belonged to the gods while he belonged to Shurima.
"If you're sure."
Li Ke didn't object. After all, if Nasus said that he didn't understand Shurima, then only the world itself could understand this desert country better than him.
"Let's go then."
There was no rest, and no plan. Four ascenders, a mage who had mastered the most fundamental runic magic, and a warrior who could turn a desert into a forest in an instant? The last successor of the lost empire with an ancient divine artifact and a legendary female pirate who was protected by the mystical kitten of Bandel City. Just like that, under the lead of the last guardian of the Empire, they walked towards the sand dune.
Along the way, they didn't find anything special. The only things that were related to buildings were probably some broken stones and some building debris that had obviously collapsed for countless years. It was hard to tell what the original building was. Nasus didn't say much because illusions began to appear in his eyes and a strange voice sounded in his ears.
"Are you ready?"
When they passed by a bustling market, a stubborn child with black hair and tattered clothes suddenly slapped Nasus' arm. Nasus couldn't help but look at the child.
"What?"
Nasus asked in confusion because the child was wearing tattered clothes in the city. It was obvious that the child was an orphan. Therefore, Nasus once again showed his mercy, passing the fruit that he used to quench his thirst to the young man. When the young man took the fruit with an arrogant face, Nasus touched the young man's head.
"Your fear, and your sins … My brother!"
However, just as his hand was about to touch the black hair, a vicious expression suddenly appeared on the stubborn boy's face, as well as a strong sense of hatred. The pedestrians and hawkers were like him. Their bodies twisted and they let out terrifying laughter. The boy's appearance that Nasus was familiar with also turned into an appearance that Nasus was even more familiar with — the appearance of a crocodile.
"Renekton!"
Nasus was stunned on the spot. His heart was filled with fear as he looked at Renekton, who was rushing towards him with a ferocious smile. Renekton didn't have any of his previous glory and integrity. Even his body was twisted with hatred. Nasus couldn't resist at all. He just stood there and watched as Renekton's bloody mouth covered him.
Then, everything in front of him disappeared like a sand painting. What came into view was a long stretch of yellow sand. The once bustling street was now sleeping under his feet, and in his hand was a fruit that had been crushed by his own power. In his ears, other than the sound of the wind, there was only Li Ke's slightly doubtful voice.
"Nasus?"
Nasus tried his best to appear normal, but he discovered that his limbs seemed to have lost the divine strength of the Celestial God. They were weak and powerless, just like when he was on the verge of death and his younger brother carried him up the flight of stairs to ascension. At that time, he didn't think that he could successfully ascend. Renekton was the same. Everyone thought that they would be annihilated by the power of the sun. But Renekton still carried him up the flight of stairs, even if there was no need for him to ascend. He just wanted his older brother to try to ascend.
For this, he was willing to be burned to ashes by the flames of ascension … even if his life's work was in vain.
"I'm fine."
Nasus tried his best to let his duty give him strength. He prayed silently and then walked towards another place. Sivir seemed to be summoned by something. She walked out from Sarah's side and followed closely behind Nasus with Li Ke.
They walked for a while and passed through a few sand dunes. When they arrived at a flat plain, Nasus stopped.
He didn't need any landmarks. He only needed to count his steps to confirm where he was. And now, in front of him was a nightmare that he didn't want to face. But now, he was forced to face by an outsider. It was a weakness that he couldn't escape from.
He raised his staff, trying to disperse the yellow sand that blocked their path and reveal the thing that had been buried for a long time. But at that moment, the black-haired boy appeared in front of him again. The boy was holding the fruit that he gave him and showed him an inexplicable smile.
"Are you ready to face it? Big brother. "
Nasus looked at the black-haired boy and swung the axe in his hand. Under his magic, the door that hid the things that shouldn't have been exposed was revealed to the group as the black-haired boy faded away.
"Of course, little brother."
