The start of the wrist, transforming the beauty of comics

Azir was born to be emperor. This was the common feeling of all the people after he succeeded to the throne. Even Nasus had to admit that Azir had indeed made Shurima better and better.

After learning from Nasus what he had never been able to learn before, Azir awakened to the gift of Shurima blood - conquest.

Azir has become strong, confident, majestic, and independent. He no longer asks Xerath when he encounters difficulties as before. Now many national affairs are decided by him with a wave of his hand.

And what about Xerath?Azir still took him with him, but usually they were lucky if they could speak a few words a day, but Xerath thought this was good. He hid his magic and continued to be a knowledgeable man. of bachelor.

He liked to look at Azir like this, but suddenly one day, he felt that Azir had changed.

Azir has been on the throne for some time, and the aftermath of the succession of thrones has been completely resolved. Now Azir is about to begin the mission of all Shurima emperors, which is to expand territory.

Wherever Shurima's troops point, all surrender!Countless lands were annexed to Shurima's territory, but success can go to one's head, and Azir has become increasingly arrogant.

He began not to take anyone seriously, and Nasus and Renekton were also used by him as tools to improve himself. He did not care about the land he acquired, as if it only belonged to Shurima.

Soldiers and some people from all hostile countries were recruited as slaves, just like Xerath's father, and the daughters of those people would be like Xerath.

Xerath felt he needed to talk to Azir.

Finally, one afternoon when Azir was inevitably free, Xerath approached him.

"Xerath? Why are you here! I think we are both very busy."

Azir smiled and asked Xerath to sit down. Xerath thought for a moment and saluted before taking his seat. Azir didn't pay attention, and Xerath asked Azir:

"Azir, don't you think some of Shurima's current actions are wrong?"

Azir was stunned. He felt confused, but his strong confidence made him answer:

"No, Shurima is getting stronger and stronger, my brother!"

Xerath looked at Azir's confident smile and sighed:

"I mean, Shurima is now waging endless war..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Azir frowning.

"Xerath? This is a just war to let the people return to the glory of the sun!"

Xerath laughed angrily, and then asked:

"So? The war destroyed those people's land. They could not farm, and their livestock died on the battlefield. They also became slaves, and their children also became slaves. Is this justice?"

Azir was silent, but he didn’t think he was wrong. He felt that Xerath had changed. He said to Xerath:

"That was the consequence of their rebellion. We are all familiar with the history of Shurima. Are the previous monarchs wrong?"

"I didn't say that, but I think we can use a gentle approach. It doesn't necessarily require war, and Shurima doesn't need so many slaves."

Azir was a little angry. Since he succeeded to the throne, no one has dared to speak to him like this for a long time. He said angrily:

"Oh? Slave? What's wrong with being a slave? I have improved the situation of slaves a lot! They should be grateful!"

Azir's anger also aroused Xerath's anger. He stood up, looked directly into Azir's eyes, and said:

"Azir! I'm reminding you! What you do is the path to destruction!"

The word "destruction" was a bit too strong, which caused Azir's tired brain to be temporarily occupied by anger, and his reason was lost for a moment. Azir also stood up and pointed at Xerath.

"Shut up! Xerath, because you are also a slave! So you want to intercede on behalf of those slaves?"

Xerath was stunned for a moment, Azir's words kept ringing in his mind.

"You are also a slave..."

"Yes, I am also a slave... So you still treat me as a slave..."

In fact, this quarrel had nothing to do with the slaves, it was just a small problem. But Xerath discovered at this time that his heart was still fragile and sensitive. He felt that he was not a respected grand maester of Shurima, but It was the little slave in the big library more than ten years ago.

Xerath's heart was severely stung and he was speechless. After saluting Azir, he left on his own.

Looking at the back of Xerath leaving, Azir also realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he would not admit it because he was the emperor. He thought for a while and made a decision.

"I will abolish slavery and become true brothers with Xerath."

Azir thought in his heart, but this idea would touch the interests of too many people, whether it was people in the court or local officials, so he had to think about it in the long term.

"I have to do something earth-shattering. I want to ascend!"

Not only to complete the idea of ​​​​abolition of slavery, but also for his own ambitions.

A few days later, Azir told Nasus and Renekton about this idea, and received unanimous advice. Because the ascension ceremony is extremely dangerous, only those who are about to end their lives will attempt it, and only those who will. Those who devote their lives to Shurima are entitled to the honor of ascension.

And Azir was still very young, especially because only the Sun Priests could judge whether a person could ascend, not the arrogance of an emperor that could give him the right.

Azir was very angry and went to see Xerath. After he explained his purpose, Xerath readily agreed and promised to provide all support for his plan.

After that, Xerath would agree with all the decisions Azir made. No matter what Azir did, Xerath would only praise him. Azir felt that this was proof of his relationship with Xerath brothers, but He didn't see the gloom in Xerath's eyes.

At the height of his kingdom's power, Azir announced that he would undergo the rite of ascension, claiming his right to stand alongside Nasus and Renekton and their glorious predecessors.Many people questioned the decision.

But then the people agreed, because the ascension ceremony constructed by this crazy emperor was not only for him to ascend, but for the entire Shurima!

That's right, Azir is going to ascend as a nation!He wants to be the only emperor and the only sun of Shurima. He wants Shurima to always be the most powerful country in Rune Continent!

The sun priests agreed to start the ceremony under Azir's threat of force. At this time, Xerath told the two brothers Nasus and Renekton that a flaming monster appeared in another place. It was extremely powerful and the situation was very urgent.

Nasus knew of Xerath's abilities, a monster he found troublesome, and suggested that he and his brother go together, as this monster would be difficult to deal with.

So, in this grand ascension ceremony, only Xerath stood beside Azir. The ceremony began, and the energy of the sun converged on the sun disk, but everyone felt that the corners of Xerath's lips raised to congratulate this moment. .

At this moment, Azir looked back at Xerath and said softly:

"Xerath, I want to abolish slavery, and I want to be your brother forever.

Xerath was stunned and speechless, but before Azir could finish his words, he embraced Xerath, recognizing him as his eternal brother, just as he had promised him all those years ago.

Azir turned around, and the priests began to perform rituals to summon the great energy of the sun into the world.Azir didn't know that Xerath had not only learned history and philosophy during his quest for knowledge, but he had also learned sorcery and black magic. His longing for freedom had swelled like a cancer into a burning hatred.

At the highest point of the ceremony, his former efforts unleashed his power, and Azir was pushed out of the altar.Without the protection of the rune circle, Azir was immediately consumed by the fire of the sun, and Xerath took his place.The light poured power into Xerath, and he roared loudly as his mortal body began to change.

But the magic of this ritual does not belong to Xerath. It is impossible for such a huge amount of astral energy to be transferred and misappropriated without bringing tragic consequences.The power of the Ascension Ritual exploded outward, destroying Shurima and razing the city to the ground.

The people were all burned to ashes, the towering palaces collapsed, and yellow sand surged up, swallowing up the entire city.The sun's disk sank from the sky, and an empire built over centuries was wiped out in an instant, all because of one man's ambition and another's wrongful hatred.All that's left of Azir's city are the ruins and the screams of people in the cold night.
