Chapter 479: The Changing Sivir
Ishtar?
Supermodel?
This was Li Ke’s first reaction, because this was the incident he remembered very clearly.
The only impression I have of this country is supermodels.
And generally, you have to add an interjection "I copied" in front of it to perfectly reflect the impression of this country.
If you ask why, it is because this country has a hero, and the only hero, Kiana.
Although it has the same name as the Paramecium in a certain game, like that Kiana, this Kiana also has the same supermodel figure and the same brain.
That’s right, not only do they have great looks and figures, but their brains are also equally broken.
Because this Kiana naturally feels that she was born to rule the world, and the whole world should submit to her. It is hard to say that such a person is not a person with a mental problem.
But in that small country, there are really not many people who can defeat the other side.
"This place, you're not planning to get some slaves out, are you?"
Li Ke asked while rubbing Nicole's face.
"How is that possible? It's almost the same. The main reason is that there are many elementalists there. According to Nasus, with their help, plus the power of the Water of Life and the Sun Disc, Shurima can quickly restore the vitality of each city-state, allowing the oasis of Shurima to support the rise of this country again."
"Besides, Ixtal was once a part of Shurima. We cannot allow it to continue to be scattered outside. Nasus and Azir both think so. Unfortunately, the messengers we sent out to summon them were all killed. So even for the sake of deterrence, this kingdom must be taken. With your help, we can at least reduce some casualties."
Sivir stated her purpose directly. Ixtal's resistance must be suppressed, just like Xerath. This is something that must be done. Otherwise, many ambitious people in Shurima will still have unnecessary ambitions, making many things very troublesome.
And the most important thing is that they really need the resources of the oasis where Ixtal is located. Whether it is the large amount of wood and food in the jungle, or animal fur, they are all things that this re-emerging empire urgently needs.
"It seems like you've adjusted to your role as a princess very quickly."
Li Ke looked at Sivir with some subtlety. If he remembered correctly, in the original trajectory, Sivir was killed by Onyxia... no, Cassiopeia's backstab a few years later, and then Azir was awakened.
Although Azir saved his only descendant, he did not know that this was his only descendant for the time being, so he let Sivir leave with the crossblade. On the contrary, Xerath knew that this was the descendant of the ascended bloodline, and he was determined to capture or kill Sivir.
Then the depressed Nasus noticed something different about Sivir, and recognized that she was of the ascended bloodline. He then blocked Xerath by himself and let Sivir leave.
During this process, Sivir always showed her disagreement with her identity as a member of the ascended bloodline, because she had been an orphan who had never had enough food or clothing since childhood. Not only was she backstabbed by her own teacher, but she was also backstabbed by her employer after she had finally formed a team.
So she felt that the legend had nothing to do with her, and it was only when she was forced into a desperate situation that she showed some leadership qualities.
But the Sivir in front of him, who was found by Nasus in advance, showed a kind of recognition of his own identity, or in other words...
She was acting as an ascended bloodline, not as Sivir.
Li Ke found this very interesting.
Observing the changes that occur to existing objects due to his own wind has now become one of Li Ke's rare pleasures.
"Well, Nasus did tell me that you have the ability to predict the future. The reason why he was able to find me was because of you."
Shiver suddenly remembered this. She looked at Li Ke and sighed slightly.
"When Nasus found me and used a trick to show me the most despicable side of my teacher, Aiha Zhahalo, and brought Myra, who had betrayed me, to me, I almost collapsed. But he told me that there is more misery and suffering in this world, and then..."
Sivir covered her face.
"He gave me everything except being a man."
"everything?"
"Yes, literally everything, beautiful women, good wine, delicious food, and readily available money. Although I always felt uneasy, I still sank under the power of the wine - until I found out what kind of people I got the food from."
Sivir sighed.
"The gold coins I spent casually were earned by the humblest civilians after working every day. Their crops could obviously be exchanged for enough gold coins for their happy lives, but because of various taxes that sounded "unreasonable", they ended up in my hands, while they themselves could only starve and freeze. The food I ate every day was also what the civilians dared not eat. The chicken that I thought was not delicious at that time was a little girl's companion, but she had to sell the chicken to treat her brother's illness."
Sivir sighed.
"I always thought I could enjoy all this peacefully. After all, for a mercenary like me, this kind of life is what I dream of. But I was wrong. This kind of thing is really unacceptable to me. It reminds me of how I wandered in the first place."
As Sivir spoke, she unconsciously turned the cross blade in her hand, and then paused before continuing.
"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with accepting people's offerings. After all, when I accepted their offerings, I also used this cross blade to do something, but..."
"But I just feel that accepting offerings from these poor people is meaningless. I should accept offerings from those richer people. Only their offerings can demonstrate my ability. Besides, it's not easy for ordinary people to live. It's really hard for them to offer offerings to someone like me with strong desires..."
Sivir didn't know what tone to use to describe her feelings.
"It's just not worth it. There are obviously people who can offer me an easier life. There is really no need for these people who can't make much money from me to bear such a burden . I can enjoy myself, this is my right, but I will not exploit these people who have almost nothing left."
"Although it sounds weird, I really wanted these people to cheer for me and like me even when I was exploiting them, so I protested to Nasus and expressed my thoughts. Then, Nasus made some preparations that I couldn't understand, and then several Ascendants fought a big battle, and then Azir raised the sun disk again."
Looking at Sivir who spoke out her true feelings under his guidance, Li Ke clapped his hands.
"Wonderful."
