Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

At the same time, Zuo Chi could also sense a figure rushing towards them.

Zuo Chi shrugged helplessly: "I suddenly have a feeling that I've been tricked."

"Hey?"

Kasha tilted her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zuo Chi looked at Kai'Sa and said seriously:

"It feels like I've been tricked into going to someone's house to work for them."

Looking at the current state of Shurima's capital, and recalling the energy obelisk he had encountered not far from the capital, Zuo Chi had already formed some guesses about the current state of this resurrected empire.

That makes sense, after all, he has been dormant for thousands of years. How could people possibly come running to him with just a wave of his hand?

However, for the sake of his incomplete ascension power, and also for his friends and his legion, Zuo Chi decided to take a gamble.

A moment later, Zuo Chi saw Nasus's ecstatic figure.

Chapter 164. The Emperor's Attitude! Xerath is a Genius!

"Zuo Chi, you really came!"

On the streets of Shurima's capital, hundreds of meters away, Nasus's joyful voice had already reached the ears of Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa.

As he approached, Nasus quickly called out:

"Zuo Chi, sister-in-law."

Looking at Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa in front of him, Nasus only regretted that he hadn't met Zuo Chi before Aatrox.

After all, Nasus was well aware of Zuo Chi's abilities.

From his initial battle against Xerath outside the ancient city on the edge of the Great Desert to his recent fight against Zoranny, Zuo Chi's performance has won over everyone, including Nasus and Aatrox.

It could even be said that without Zuo Chi, he and Aatrox's group might have been forever trapped on the land of Icathia.

Now that Zuochi has come to the capital of Shurima, it will undoubtedly provide Azir, who is struggling to survive, with tremendous support.

Compared to Nasus's excitement, Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa showed different expressions.

Zuo Chi felt somewhat helpless, because he knew he was about to be busy again.

Unlike Zuo Chi, Kai'Sa was quite shy and embarrassed when she heard Nasus address her.

The rumors about her relationship with Zuo Chi have become increasingly outrageous. She was clearly his girlfriend before, but now they're husband and wife.

Kai'Sa stood beside Zuo Chi, lost in thought, while Zuo Chi and Nasus clasped hands tightly together.

Zuo Chi looked Nasus up and down, his expression somewhat haggard.

"Looks like things aren't going well?"

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, Nasus sighed deeply: "Zuo Chi, it may be impossible to help you perfect your Ascension Power in the short term."

When Nasus was with Aatrox and the others, he often used the complete Ascension power as a bargaining chip to win over Zuo Chi to join Shurima. Now that Zuo Chi has arrived, Nasus knows that Shurima is not capable of helping Zuo Chi perfect his incomplete Ascension power!

Nasus looked at Zuo Chi with a hint of guilt in his eyes. He was worried that Zuo Chi would leave after hearing this, but he didn't want to deceive Zuo Chi, so he added:

"But don't worry, my brother and I will soon fulfill our promise to you, and His Majesty will surely be able to help you perfect your ascension power."

Noticing Nasus's gaze, Zuo Chi chuckled and shook his head:

"This isn't really urgent. But I'm still a little curious, why is the capital of Shurima so desolate?"

Nasus naturally knew what Zuo Chi was thinking, and almost everyone who came to Shurima had the same question: Why not continue to create Ascended using the Sun Disk?

That's a powerhouse close to demigod; even one more would be a tremendous help.

Unfortunately, it's not that Shurima doesn't want to use the Sun Disc to create Ascended Ones; it's just that we simply can't do it.

Nasus didn't want to hold back from Zuochi, so he explained the current predicament of Shurima to Zuochi in detail.

Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa listened to Nasus's story with grave expressions. Neither of them had expected that the once-powerful empire would fall to such a state where there was no one left to rely on.

It's said that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, but if that camel had been dead for three thousand years, that would be a different story.

However, Zuo Chi quickly grasped the key point in Nasus's words, and he looked at Nasus with a serious expression:

"Why are you and Renekton fulfilling your promise to me so soon? Are you planning to steal the Sun Emblem from Narimar?"

Facing Zuo Chi's scrutinizing gaze, Nasus nodded firmly:

“Shurima has no other way out. My brother and I, as the only two remaining Ascended in the Ascended Legion, must help His Majesty overcome the current difficulties.”

Upon hearing Nasus's affirmative answer, Zuo Chi frowned slightly.

Three thousand years ago, the brothers Nasus and Renekton were no match for Xerath, and it took one of them to seal him away. Now, thousands of years later, Xerath's power has increased tremendously, but Nasus and Renekton's power has not increased in any substantial way. Under these circumstances, can the two brothers really take back the Sun Emblem from Xerath?

Moreover, given Xerath's cunning, how could he possibly be without other helpers on his territory?

Zuo Chi asked softly, "How confident are you?"

Nasus shook his head: "Rather than a slow death, we might as well give it a try!"

This time, Zuo Chi didn't speak again, but instead looked up towards the direction of the palace.

"Aren't you going to take me to see Azir?"

"Of course!"

Nasus quickly walked ahead of Zuo Chi: "Come with me, His Majesty is in the palace now."

Zuo Chi nodded, took Kai'Sa's hand, and followed behind Nasus.

Zuo Chi wasn't particularly close to this resurrected empire; at most, he had only saved Nasus twice and helped him awaken Renekton.

Under these circumstances, Zuo Chi naturally had no reason to rush over and offer help.

He does need the full power of Ascension, but that cannot justify his service to Shurima.

Admittedly, Zuo Chi highly regards the brothers Nasus and Renekton, and he is willing to help them to some extent. However, if the Shurima Empire is involved, then it depends on the attitude of Azir, the last emperor.

As they strolled through the streets of Shurima's capital, Nasus enthusiastically explained the local culture to Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa.

Kaisa looked around with curiosity. This was her first time visiting the capital of Shurima. Although it was different from what she had imagined, it still attracted her attention. Zuo Chi followed beside her, observing this empire that was in dire need of rebuilding.

Soon, the three of them crossed the open square of the palace and arrived in front of the main hall.

It was at this moment that Zuo Chi and Nasus both saw the figure in front of them, holding a scepter and wearing golden eagle armor, standing at the entrance of the hall.

"Your Majesty," Nasus asked, somewhat surprised, "Why did you come out?"

At this moment, Azir's gaze fell entirely on Zuo Chi. As the emperor of Shurima, he could clearly sense the fluctuations of the Ascension power emanating from Zuo Chi's body. Although this power was incomplete, it still could not conceal Zuo Chi's identity as an Ascended.

In addition to the story of Zuo Chi that Nasus had mentioned to him before, he chose to go directly to the door to greet Zuo Chi.

Looking at the Shurima Emperor so close to her, Kai'Sa beside Zuo Chi felt a little nervous. After all, this was the highest-ranking person she had ever met in her life, not to mention that he was an Ascended.

Facing Azir's gaze, Zuo Chi simply patted Kai'Sa's hand and then gave Azir a slight bow:

"Your Majesty, I have long admired you."

Azir took Zuo Chi's arm and said, "Your Excellency Zuo Chi, I have always heard the Grand Scholar mention your deeds, and now I finally meet you."

"Come in quickly," said the voice from inside the main hall.

Inside the palace hall, only Zuo Chi and three others stood facing each other, and Azir did not return to his throne.

Looking at Azir in front of him, Zuo Chi's impression of him changed slightly.

After a moment of silence, Azir broke the silence in the hall: "Lord Zuochi, may I ask what brings you to the capital of Shurima this time?"

Zuo Chi said, "I believe the Grand Scholar has already spoken to His Majesty about my desire to use the Sun Disc to perfect my incomplete ascension power."

Azir sighed softly and nodded, then looked hesitantly at Zuo Chi: "The current Sun Disc has lost the abilities of the Ascended."

“Nasus has already told me this.”

Zuo Chi picked up where he left off and continued, "Now that the whereabouts of the Sun Emblem are clear, there is still a solution."

"Your Excellency is willing to help me!?" This time, a strong sense of expectation and a hint of pleading appeared in Azir's eyes.

He desperately needs the help of a strong person right now. If Zuo Chi is willing to lend a hand even if his wish hasn't been fulfilled, it would be a tremendous boost to Shurima.

Looking at the excited Azir, Zuo Chi gently shook his head, seemingly pondering something.

Seeing this, Azir's expression darkened.

However, Azir soon heard Zuo Chi's extremely serious voice:

"Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask you."

"Hmm?" Azir paused slightly. "Please speak, Your Excellency."

Zuo Chi looked at Azir directly opposite him, his eyes seemingly containing a terrifying light: "I would like to ask Your Majesty, what is your opinion on those Shurima generals who were once ascended gods but later fell into darkness and became Darkin?"

As soon as Zuo Chi finished speaking, the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Neither Nasus nor Azir spoke again.

Azir died from the impact of the Sun God's power before the Darkin appeared. Now he has been resurrected and returned. The former Darkin have all been sealed away. He did not experience the Darkin War, nor did he personally witness the Darkin's actions.

Or rather, if Azir hadn't died, the Darkin would never have appeared in the first place.

In this situation, Azir's attitude towards the Darkin becomes somewhat intriguing, something Zuo Chi needs to know in advance.
