LOL: Let me touch your steel

This kind of empire's envoy is truly remarkable!

"All right..."

Qiana shrugged and subconsciously repeated, "Okay, if that's the case, come with me. However, if you want to go to Ixoken, you still need to be tested by the great elementals in this city."

"Of course no problem."

......

The city within the towering walls was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

The entire city seemed to be larger than everyone had imagined, and the people in the city were not as isolated and poor as they had imagined.

Elemental magic has been applied to every corner of life, and there are even abandoned Piltover machines in the city. These sophisticated instruments seem to have been damaged by some kind of magic and have now become a pile of waste and can no longer be used.

"These machines were captured during a conflict with the Piltovers, who murdered a sheriff."

Hearing this, Zhang Xu looked up suddenly.

He suddenly remembered something, an event from the background story.

The young and energetic Qiyana, accompanied by her servants, came to a village called Tiklas. The governor here was brutally killed by the miners from Piltover, and a new governor was urgently needed to guard the place.

Qiana came for this position, and when she volunteered to the elders, she was told that the place had been taken over by her sister Mara, who was one year older than her.

Although he argued that only he had the ability to protect Tiklas, according to the law, Mara was the new master here.

She had no way of taking away the position of county governor while Mara was still able to govern.

Chinaya had no choice but to leave dejectedly, but he exposed his whereabouts when he left.

It’s hard to say whether this behavior was intentional...Zhang Xu is more inclined to believe that Qiyana did it on purpose.

She hopes to use this opportunity to prove to the world that she is more capable than her sister to protect this village and serve as the county magistrate.

Until Qiyana was awakened by the cry, the miners found the village and razed it to the ground. Half of the people died, and only half of them were lucky enough to escape. Qiyana's sister Mara could only barely escape.

Mara, who had almost been to the gates of hell, was still in shock and terrified.

Mara, who no longer has the ability to continue governing, believes that Qiyana is the county governor who can drive out Piltover and protect the village.

With Qiana's unscrupulous efforts, she finally succeeded in becoming the county magistrate and took the first step to take over Ixooken.

But then, Qiyana massacred the miners in Piltover, which aroused the wrath of her parents, and she was eventually exiled here.

Zhang Xu subconsciously looked at Qiyana. Although she was still young, Qiyana's style of doing things seemed to be that of a qualified "politician".

Chapter 114 Sweet pastry

In other words, Qiyana's age is indeed very deceptive, and what she actually understands is much more mature than her peers.

Taliyah is still the best!

Innocent, kind, hardworking, and respectful to teachers.

Soon, Qiyana led everyone to a very prominent building. Judging from the overall structure of the building, it should be a palace? Or a temple?

There are also five very prominent symbols on the building, which are exactly the same as the symbols on the city wall.

"Daughter of Yuen, you are being lazy again."

As soon as they entered the building, an old man with white hair appeared in front of them, staring at Qiyana with a pair of clear eyes.

"You were supposed to go to the city wall with other elementalists to reinforce the city defense today."

As he spoke, the old man noticed Zhang Xu and others following behind Qiyana, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

Qiyana, who has always been the most radical towards outsiders, would actually lead a few outsiders and Vastaya back to the Sanctuary of Elements?

It's really a rare thing.

The old man could tell at a glance that Zhang Xu and his group did not belong to Ixutal, as could be seen from the clothes they were wearing.

Qiyana stuck out her tongue at the old man and whispered to him before moving closer to him:

"This is the mayor of this city, and also the elder of this elemental sanctuary."

"Elder, I'm not being lazy. I just wanted to go out into the jungle to relax... and then I met them."

Qiyana pointed at Zhang Xu who was standing in the front and explained in a low voice: "They are envoys sent by Emperor Azir of the Shurima Empire."

"Oh?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, and his pupils suddenly became sharp. His originally slightly hunched body seemed to have become much taller at this moment.

But this level of pressure was nothing at all. Zhang Xu, Kassadin and Talia behind him did not show any change in their expressions.

Zhang Xu responded to the old man's gaze calmly.

Seeing this, the old man nodded, and did not ask why Zhang Xu was the envoy of the destroyed Shurima. He just said calmly: "Then please wait patiently, the other elders will be back soon."

------

A spacious room in the Elemental Sanctuary, with a large round table placed in the center.

Zhang Xu sat in the center of one side, with Kaisa and Taliyah sitting on his left and right respectively. Qiyana, Nidalee, and Neeko sat a few seats apart.

As for the other side of the round table were the elemental elders of this sanctuary, the highly respected elementalists.

Most of these elders had white hair, but there were also some younger faces. However, according to Zhang Xu's observation, the youngest one sitting here was probably over fifty years old.

"This messenger..."

"Just call me Zhang Xu."

"Okay, Envoy Zhang Xu."

The city lord named Kubera sat opposite Zhang Xu with a kind smile on his face:

"I heard from the daughter of Yun that you are from Shurima and are the emissaries of His Majesty Azir. But as far as I know, His Majesty Azir, as the last emperor of Shurima, has fallen for a long time, and Shurima has long disappeared in the long river of history."

"Indeed, what you said is correct."

Zhang Xu leaned forward slightly, with a smile on his face. "But not long ago, the great Desert Emperor returned to this land, bringing the former capital of Shurima back to the light of day."

"His Majesty Azir has become the most perfect Ascendant in history. He will bring the sun's light back to the earth. He will lead Shurima to revival and restore Shurima to its former glory!"

Zhang Xu's tone was appropriately passionate, as if he had really put himself into this new identity.

These elders are all shrewd people, and only by fully committing to the emotions can the doubts in their hearts be dispelled.

Zhang Xu sat in his original position, seeming to calm himself down. After a while, he spoke again: "In order to complete the revival of Shurima, His Majesty Azir sent me to Ixtal. I hope to see Ixoken's records about the Ascended Ones, and I also hope to meet Yuntal."

The series of words made the elders look at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. It was the city lord Kubra who frowned and reacted first:

"Mr. Envoy, your words are not enough, how can we trust you?"

"It's very simple."

Zhang Xu smiled slightly, and as if performing a show, he once again condensed a ball of ascending energy in his palm.

In the sealed space, the feeling brought by the ascension energy this time is more obvious.

The knowledgeable old city lord recognized this power almost instantly. This was the power of the god warrior!

Only by performing the ascension ceremony with the sun disc descending can a person become a respectable god-warrior!

From this point of view, Zhang Xu is undoubtedly the messenger of Shurima!

Kubra took a few deep breaths and forced a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth: "His Majesty Azir has been resurrected, and Shurima has returned... These two pieces of news are really hard to digest for a while!"

"However, we have already heard of the envoy's request... We will report to Ixuokun as soon as possible and give the envoy a satisfactory reply as soon as possible."

After confirming Zhang Xu's identity, Kubra's attitude became obviously much more enthusiastic.

Even the elders nearby smiled. One of them, who looked about the same age as Kubra, stood up impatiently:

"Okay, we've finally finished talking about irrelevant things, it's time to talk about business!"

"Child, please accept me as your master! I will teach you how to use the rock element correctly!"

The heat in the old man's eyes frightened Taliyah, and it took her a while to realize that the old man was talking about her.

Another old man slapped the table vigorously and looked at the old man who had spoken earlier with some dissatisfaction:

"Didn't you say that your last disciple was your last disciple? Don't join in the fun this time, kid, take me as your master, I promise that you will be able to master the rock element more deeply!"

"Go away! How many disciples do you have? I don't even have one! If you want to become a disciple, you should choose me!"

"Worship you? You don't have any apprentices, that's because you have a weird personality, no one wants to be your apprentice!"

"Hey! Do you think you're good looking like this?"

After a brief silence, the entire round table suddenly started arguing, and the object of their argument was actually... Taliyah?

Zhang Xu looked at the scene in front of him with a bit of a smile and tears in his eyes. He never expected that things related to Shurima would become insignificant "trivial matters", while Taliyah became the hot commodity that the elders were fighting for.

Chapter 115 Jax!

In order to stop this meaningless quarrel, Zhang Xu knocked on the table lightly, "Taliyah is my disciple. Isn't it a bit too much to poach me?"

Zhang Xu looked at these elders with burning eyes, and gradually restrained the smile on his face:

"Also, I hope that the elders can respect me and His Majesty Azir. I am here for an important matter."

Zhang Xu was determined to continue to use his power to bully others, but he also didn't want to waste too much time in this border city.

Seeing Zhang Xu's face turn serious, many elders stopped arguing and looked a little unhappy.

The old city lord smiled gently:

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Envoy, I will inform you as soon as possible. I believe Yun will send someone here soon. Your Excellency the Envoy has come from afar, why not taste the specialties of Ixtal with us? I believe that Your Excellency the Envoy will not be disappointed."

"No need."

Zhang Xu had nothing to talk about with these old men, so he simply declined their invitation to dinner and returned to the residence arranged for them in the city.

It’s just... there’s a new little tail in the team.

Zhang Xu's previous words that Taliyah was his disciple obviously piqued Qiyana's interest. In her opinion, to be able to teach a disciple like Taliyah who had a high level of mastery of rock elements, Zhang Xu's use of elemental magic must be quite extraordinary.

Qiyana, who was full of confidence in her own talent, had the idea of ​​sparring with others. She really wanted to see what the elemental magic in the outside world was like, and how it differed from Ixooken's elemental magic.

In addition, Qiana also wanted to ask these outsiders some questions about the outside world.
