LOL: Let me touch your steel

Zhang Xu nodded calmly, his manners impeccable, "Greetings, Yuntar."

"Eternal Flame!"

A sudden sound came from behind Yuntal, and then a figure rushed out, his eyes full of disbelief and confusion, as well as a hint of unknown nostalgia.

At his request, Yuntar finally agreed to let Jax accompany him to meet the Shurima envoy.

Originally, Jax planned to wait until they finished their business before trying to ask his questions, but when the Shurima envoy walked to the palace gate, he actually felt the breath of eternal flame from the envoy!

The staff in Jax's hand is burning with eternal flames, and it is precisely this last flame of Icathia that has sustained him until now.

As for the breath of eternal flame...he is very familiar with it!

Jax always thought that the Eternal Flame in his hand was the only one left in Icathia, but he didn't expect to encounter it here!

That's why he exclaimed in surprise, stealing the show's attention.

In fact, if Jax felt more carefully, he could also sense another familiar aura from Zhang Xu.

That was... the nothingness that he hated so much!

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared, Zhang Xu also seemed a little surprised.

A tall and strong man wearing a purple cape, holding an exquisite staff in his hand, with a flickering flame in the center of the staff...

His identity is self-evident—Weapon Master, Jax!

Zhang Xu never expected that he would see Jax here, even though Skarner had mentioned Jax's name before.

Kasha's eyes also showed some curiosity. In Jilan's Time Tower, she learned from Jilan that there were two more Eternal Flames. One was finally controlled by Zhang Xu, and the other was in the hands of a guy with a very long name.

This guy in front of me...is he?

Kaisa's eyes fell on the staff in Jax's hand, and the leaping flames in it... were the eternal flames that could cause damage to the void!

"Emissary of Shurima, could you please tell me why I can sense the breath of eternal flames on you?"

Jax looked at Zhang Xu with burning eyes. His inner urgency made him completely forget the etiquette he should follow and completely left Yuntal aside.

Jax...

A true master worthy of respect.

Jax had raised doubts since Icathia decided to open the abyss and release the void. Unfortunately, despite being the guardian of the Mage King Kohari, Jax did not have much say. Or perhaps, the entire country of Icathia had been carried away by the mind.

The void descended, and the war broke out completely.

As a member of the Kohari, Jax naturally fought against the God-warriors with his comrades, and together they killed a God-warrior.

And then...

The Shuriman army retreated, the Void returned to the Abyss, and Icathia was completely destroyed.

The kingdom was destroyed, but Jax, who survived by the Eternal Flame, did not hate Shurima. Instead, he truly realized the horror of the Void.

For hundreds and thousands of years since then, Jax has embarked on a lonely road - looking for people who can fight the Void together, and looking for ways to fight the Void.

Cassia's fall left Jax full of doubts, but one thing was certain:

When the final battle comes, Jax will face the Void.

Even though he was alone at that time.

"Of course... but this is a very long story. Master Jax, you are not going to just sit here and listen to me tell it, are you?"

Hearing this, Jax immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly turned to look at Yuntal with an apologetic look on his face.

Chapter 120 I, a loyal minister, send you money!

The doubts in Jax's heart have reached their peak, but this is Ishuokun after all, and the purpose of Zhang Xu's trip is to meet Yuntal. Even though he is extremely anxious, he still has to wait until Zhang Xu finishes his business before talking.

Inside the palace, in a special meeting room.

Zhang Xu and his group sat down safely in their seats. Kai'Sa and Taliyah had indifferent expressions on their faces, while Nidalee and Neeko looked around with curiosity, seeing scenes they had never seen before.

As for the one sitting opposite the crowd...

This is definitely a very enthusiastic picture.

These core elemental masters of Ixoken, who are in their prime, are having a heated discussion, and the topic they are talking about... is the future of the entire Ixtal.

Zhang Xu's arrival brought forward the debate that was supposed to break out in the future - Shurima's reappearance in the world allowed countless elemental masters who once missed that period of history to see another way out for Ixtal.

No longer closed off from the world, they connected with the outside world and reestablished harmonious and good relations with the reappearing Shurima.

A large number of elemental masters believe that even with the return of Azir, the last desert emperor, Shurima must be in a state of disrepair. Under this premise, Ixtal's reunion with Shurima is a timely help, not a trivial icing on the cake in the future.

Only a small number of people believe that Ixtal should continue its long-standing policy, continue to isolate itself from the world, and guard this remaining pure land.

Listening to the constant quarreling sounds coming from his ears, Zhang Xu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.

No, buddy hasn’t spoken yet?

Why did you guys start quarreling first?

Also, I'm just talking!

Judging from the situation, how could Ixtal really have the idea of ​​re-establishing an alliance with Shurima?

So I was forced to become Azir's loyal subject, right?

Azir incorporated Ixtal into his territory without losing a single soldier?

Zhang Xu always felt like he had a strange reputation, and this reputation was getting worse and worse. Wouldn't it be that in the end, it would become an established fact?

Then the subsequent development will probably be...

Wherever Zhang Xu passes, it is Shurima's territory! ?

What a ridiculous development!

Zhang Xu couldn't help but shudder and quickly shook his head to interrupt his fantasy.

But Zhang Xu's action made Yuntal feel that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the noise in front of him, which was like a vegetable market. He immediately showed a hint of nervousness on his face:

"Your Excellency the Envoy, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

As a Yuntar of Ixtar, Qiyana's father would not be so humble to a messenger. But he knew that since Zhang Xu was sent as a messenger by the resurrected Desert Emperor Azir, he must be highly valued. In addition, Zhang Xu's status as an ascender...

Yuntar had to maintain a certain respect.

Throughout Yuntar, the discussion on whether Ixtar should reconnect with the outside world became increasingly heated. As the supreme ruler, his originally firm heart was also shaken.

If we really want to re-establish contact with the outside world in the future, Shurima, which has had a "honeymoon period" in the past, is definitely the best choice.

The envoys of Shurima are bound to play a very important role in the entire process.

"We understand that Yun has concerns."

Zhang Xu showed a professional awkward smile on his face. Now he was in a difficult situation.

Originally, he thought that Ixtal would never agree to his second purpose that he had made up, so he just had to settle for the second best and learn that there were records about the ascenders.

But I didn't expect such a fierce quarrel to break out within Ixuokun... They are actually considering it!

But there is no way out. I have to continue to cover up the lie I told.

"His Majesty Azir has become the most perfect Ascendant in history. He has regained the power of the sun. This means that the glory of Shurima will reappear!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xu's slightly high-pitched tone suddenly changed, and his tone gradually calmed down:

"Your Majesty Azir is a man of great talent and vision. Restoring the glory of Shurima is not just empty talk. I think Yun, you should consider it carefully."

"Of course, I didn't come here to get an immediate answer from Yun. I know that such a decision is always difficult. This time, I hope to collect the records of the Ascendants from Xuoken. As for the matter of establishing an alliance..."

"There's no rush."

Zhang Xu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy...

He almost believed what he heard.

Damn it, is Ixtal really going to return to Shurima in the future?

If this comes true, I will account for at least 80%... 90% of the credit!

Wouldn't Azir be fascinated by this? Wouldn't he ask me to become his sworn brother?

Oh, but we can’t become sworn brothers.

The last sworn brother might be almost covered with grass by now... Come to think of it, I don't know what the outcome of that battle was.

In the duel between Doghead and Crocodile, the gap was a bit big, but Zhang Xu felt that Nasus would not be able to kill his own brother. Even if he won, he would most likely imprison Renekton and then find a way to make Crocodile regain his sanity.

As for the battle between Azir and Xerath, it was a life-and-death battle, but Azir still had a greater chance of winning.

Yun was also relieved to hear that the Shurima envoy was so easy to talk to.

If he had to get an answer from Ixutal now, it would be a headache for him.

Now, at least they have time to prepare.

------

Inside the huge secret room under Ixuokun.

The carefully designed chamber structure can amplify the vibrations coming from all directions across the continent. For Skarner, every knock is a potential threat to Ixtal.

In addition to these threats, Skarner could also feel the security coming from above his head.

It is because of his existence that this city can survive.

But now, this peace...seems to be about to be broken.

In the dark underground world, Skarner's huge body was crawling quietly, but at this moment, his heart was in great pain.

The whispers from above tormented him. It seemed to him that Ixtal's reopening of the gate would be tantamount to inviting pain, torture, and death, repeating the tragedy of generations past.

In the darkness, Skarner suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint blue light flickered.

The source of everything is the human being who carries the aura of nothingness and ascenders!
