Legends of Runeterra

Not long after walking forward, Li En suddenly turned around and looked at everyone.

"The people who are picking us up are here, don't worry for a while."

"Hoo~!"

As soon as Li En finished speaking, an inexplicable force enveloped everyone.

Ezreal felt the scene in his eyes blurry for a moment, and the next moment, he found himself inside a high wall that looked like gold.

"Brother... look... a dog... a dog's head!!"

Amumu moved a little closer to Ezreal and a suppressed low cry was heard.

However, despite this, in the empty and silent square where only rows of sand soldiers were standing, Amumu's voice still clearly reached the ears of several people.

"Shua~!"

The next moment, Ezreal's palm appeared on Amumu's mouth.

“Hehe~! Is this…is this the legendary Shurima Palace? It’s so magnificent!”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Amumu..."

"It's alright, Mr. Li En, His Highness Xiweier, and the other two, please follow me. His Majesty is waiting for you in the hall."

"I..."

Sivir was about to open her mouth to refuse Nasus's address, but Li En gently held her hand, and Sivir immediately understood and became quiet.

So the group followed Nasus all the way.

During this time, Ezreal discovered that everyone was just moving forward at a normal pace, but after just a few steps, the surrounding scenery was completely new.

"Fortunately, Li En reminded me. It seems that the capital of Shurima is just like Ixokon. It is not as simple as it looks!"

Scratching his cheek, Ezreal wiped his sweat-free forehead and secretly felt relieved.

When they set out for the Shurima capital, Lien and Sivir explained Amumu's general situation to him, and only after getting Amumu's consent did they take him with them.

Others like Cassiopeia must stay in Uzeris, while Samira, Kaisa, Kassadin and others serve as military support.

As for why Ezreal came along, on the one hand, as the eldest brother, he naturally couldn't let his younger brother Amumu come alone.

On the other hand, he did want to explore the legendary 'Sun Disc' that could allow mortals to become 'ascended gods'.

Determined to become the greatest adventurer in the world, he could not sit idly by and watch this great opportunity slip away.

Just as Ezreal was thinking about suppressing the wild thoughts and desire to explore the truth in his mind, he suddenly found that the legendary university scholar in front of him began to slow down his pace.

Finally, it stopped outside a hall that seemed to be made entirely of gold, but without the vulgarity of a nouveau riche. Instead, it exuded an astonishing sense of magnificence and majesty.

"Grandmaster, please invite them in directly."

A majestic voice, buzzing and echoing, came from the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After bowing towards the hall, Nasus turned and looked at Li En and his group.

"Mr. Li En, His Highness Xiweier, please!"

"Well, let's go, Ezreal."

Li En nodded, turned around and greeted him.

"Uh...can I...can we go in too?"

"this..."

Looking at Ezreal with an anxious look on his face, Nasus was also a little hesitant.

"Come in, both of you."

"Thank you... uh... Your Majesty the Eagle King."

After gracefully performing a Piltover etiquette, Ezreal, who had received an invitation from Azir himself, was completely relieved. He smiled at Nasus, took Amumu's hand and followed Li En.

Nasus, who was walking at the back, looked at Amumu's short figure. Of course, the mere cloak could not block the sight of the 'Ascended God'.

But outside the bandage, there seemed to be an invisible and powerful force hidden, blocking his further perception.

It is for this reason that Nasus is somewhat curious about what Amumu is.

Nasus, who had personally experienced Li En's strength, naturally knew that the other party was definitely not a stupid and naive person.

Bringing this kind of existence with him when visiting allies in person, Nasus, with his jackal image representing wisdom, assured that there was definitely some deep meaning behind this on Li En's part.

With thoughts racing through his mind, Nasus used this method to dispel his worries about how to deal with Renekton.

But when he walked into the hall and saw the figure sitting on the throne, the pain of being in a dilemma came to his mind again.

"Long time no see, Li En."

"Hello, Your Majesty Azir."

Although he let Shiver hold his arm and called him "Your Majesty", Li En's aura in the hall was equal to that of the Eagle King.

"Haha~! Li En, thank you for protecting the 'Ascension Bloodline' and for being willing to form an alliance with Shurima at this moment!"

"This has nothing to do with blood. Sivir is my love, so I will naturally protect her."

Li En responded with a smile. Xiweier did not say anything, but just held Li En's arm as they had agreed before departure, as if he was the one making the decision.

Seeing this, Azir's aura did not change at all, but his eyes were looking at Ezreal beside him.

Just when Ezreal was wondering whether he should take the initiative to salute and greet this being who was both the emperor and the 'ascended god'.

"Young man, the arm guard on your hand...gives me a familiar feeling?"

"Uh... Your Majesty, the King of Eagles, this arm guard is called 'Nezuk Arm Guard'."

"Nezuk!?"

Before Azir could speak, Nasus, who was standing quietly beside him as a subject, let out a low cry and immediately stepped forward to look at the arm guard on Ezreal's left hand that he had previously ignored.

"Yes, it does have the style of the Shurima Empire before 'that war'..."

"Grand Maester."

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a creation of Nezuk, the 'Ascended Brother' from Ixtal."

Nasus bowed towards the throne, addressing his fellow warriors as 'Ascended God', a traditional and honorable title used by the Shuriman Empire to address them.

"Well, this..."

“You can just call me Ezreal.”

"Okay, Ezreal, could you please tell me where you got this arm guard?"

"Well... actually..."

Ezreal scratched his cheek subconsciously, which was his habit when he was a little nervous.

Although Azir was more polite than the pretentious nobles at the banquet, Ezreal would not ignore the power and strength of the last emperor and the "Ascended God".

Being in an iron cage with lions and tigers and being in an iron cage with lions and tigers are two completely different feelings.

What's more, the 'ascended gods' who are said to be able to split mountains and seas are far more terrifying than just a few lions and tigers.

In fact, before arriving at the capital of Shurima, Li En had informed Ezreal of this situation in advance.

'According to the plan, now it should be...'

Ezreal glanced to the side nervously, and just in time saw a tall and straight figure stepping in front of him.

"Phew! I'm saved!"

Ezreal, who was oppressed by the silent and invisible power, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
