Chapter 643: The Secret of the Shurima Empire

After sorting out the clues in his mind, Sivir took a long breath: "Nasus, what was the relationship between Emperor Azir and Zelas at that time?"

Nasus frowned at her question, as if he had thought of something. After a moment's thought, he spoke, "Strictly speaking, Zelas is actually a slave of Emperor Azir."

"Slaves?" Ye Feng took what Xavier wanted to say, provoking Xavier to give him a blank look.

"Yes, Zelas is the slave of Emperor Azir!" Nasus nodded and continued: "At the beginning, Azir was the least favored of the princes of the previous emperor, so he usually had no affairs, once he met the slave Zelas when he was looking through the classics in the large library of the Shurima Imperial City, although Zelas was a slave, but his knowledge was appreciated by the prince Azir, Azir bought Zelas from the slave trader and took it with him, it turned out that Zelas was indeed a good talent, and he successfully helped Azir become the next emperor later."

"But why does Zelath say he's a friend of my ancestors?" Sivir frowned, she always felt that there was some hole in what Nasus said, but she couldn't tell what the problem was for a while.

Hearing this, Nasus replied with a smile: "I have seen Zelas and Azir appear together a few times, the relationship between the two is not like a simple master and servant, but more like a rare bosom friend, speaking of which Azir was really kind when he was still a prince, just like this friend next to you, so I am happy that he later became an emperor and he is also happy for him, he should become an emperor, but it is a pity that Zelas, a traitor with a beast's face, has been ruined."

Hearing Nasus praise her psychologically twisted, vengeful ancestor for being kind in his youth, Sivir shook his body and was slightly stunned.

However, thinking of Azir's ancestor saving her twice, she quickly smiled with relief. It's just that Nasus said that Ye Feng was somewhat similar to her Azir ancestor's personality, but it was difficult for her to understand, and she even wanted to laugh a little in her heart.

Leaf wind? This stupid hat is very similar to her emperor ancestor who was not angry and arrogant? It's so funny!

Alone made up for the silly appearance of the ancestor of Azir when he was young, and the image of the majestic emperor of Ye Feng's personality changed greatly, Sivir had goosebumps all over his body, and it was really difficult to connect Ye Feng with her ancestor of Azir.

Afraid that he would laugh out loud, Sivir no longer thought about whether Ye Feng and Azir were alike, but asked again: "Nasus, you just said that my Azir ancestor is the least favored prince, which means that he is much bleaker than other princes, no matter how much Zelas helps him, he should not be able to become the emperor, and those who are favored by the emperor around the prince will not necessarily lose to the slaves of the Azir ancestor."

After Sivir's reminder, Nasus searched his mind for those long-lived millennia memories. After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and said in a low tone: "It's a little strange that those favored princes died mysteriously one after another in the next few years."

"Zelas did it!" Sivir's pupils shrank slightly, and he blurted out almost without thinking.

"I once suspected that Prince Azir and Zelas did it, but after investigation, I found that there was nothing suspicious, and those princes all died from evil black magic, and Azir didn't let Zelas specialize in magic at that time." Nasus shook his head, thinking that this was very unlikely.

Sivir didn't think so, she felt that Zelas was deliberately hiding the secret of his magic skills in order to better carry out his plan to usurp the throne.

Glancing at Ye Feng, who was staring at her next to him, Xiwei continued: "Then after the death of these favored princes, is it true that the ancestor of Azir was made a candidate for the next emperor by the previous emperor?"

"No, in fact, I also support Prince Azir, but for some reason, the previous emperor just didn't look down on him, after the search for the mysterious death of those favored princes failed, the previous emperor not only did not appoint Azir as the heir, but set up other minor princes as heirs."

Hearing Nasus's words, Sivir's eyes narrowed slightly, she did not expect her Azir ancestors to be so unpopular with the previous emperor. Although no one at the time had found any clues about the mysterious death of the prince, Sivir's instinct was that she definitely had something to do with Zelas and her Azir ancestors.

She was suspicious and puzzled, "In that case, why did my Azir ancestor become emperor in the end?" Do you say ......"

Speaking of the latter, Sivir suddenly stopped talking, because she thought of a terrible thing, that is, those underage princes also died one after another.

Nasus naturally knew why Sivir didn't dare to say anything, and he also said with a solemn expression: "Yes, all the other royal families that might prevent Prince Azir from becoming emperor died, and in the end, even the previous emperor and empress died on a night of lightning and thunder."

Speaking of which, he once again suspected that Zelas and Azr had done these things. It's just that he and his brother Renekton have been away from the Imperial City since then, so they didn't know what happened afterwards at first.

By the time they found out, Azir had already proclaimed himself emperor, and he didn't delve into the details.

Ye Feng, who hadn't spoken for a while, listened carefully to the conversation between Sivir and Nasus, and he was also stunned when he heard those heart-palpitating events.

The first to come to his senses, he saw that the two of them were silent, and said, "If Zelas did it, Emperor Azir should have acquiesced, right?"

His words were astonishing, and both Sivir and Nasus felt a chill down their spines. If Azir really acquiesced in Zelas's doing, then he was hiding too deeply!

A little scared in her heart, Sivir didn't dare to think further, she directly changed the topic: "Although I was not born in that era, I have also read many historical classics of various countries, which all say that the ascension ceremony of the Shurima Empire is only for meritorious people, and the emperors of the empire have never held an immortal ascension ceremony for themselves, but why would the ancestor of Azir hold an ascension ceremony for himself?"

Sivir's question stumped Nasus, and he had no choice but to speculate on Azir's thoughts and said, "It should be Azil who wants to be the emperor of the Shurima Empire forever, right?"

"I think there's a reason for that, but it's more of Zeroth's demagogy!" Sivir also voiced her own guess, which she felt should be more likely.

Although Ye Feng didn't think as much as the two of them, he nodded as he listened on the sidelines, agreeing with Xiwei's opinion. In order to add a sense of presence to himself, he hummed.

Sivir took a deep breath and said seriously, "Last question, did any major events happen in the Shurima Empire during the period before the Ascension Ceremony was held?"

Rubbing the sun, Seth's eyes lit up: "I heard from the surviving civilians of the imperial city that Emperor Azir issued a decree on the day of the ascension ceremony, that is, to abolish slavery."

"Abolition of slavery...... Zelas was the slave of the Ancestor of Azir, and the abolition of slavery showed that the Ancestor of Azir really regarded Zelas as his friend, but it was a pity that he saw the wrong person; It seems that in a sense, before becoming the emperor, the ancestor may really be the same as you said, very similar to Ye Feng's personality, a bit stupid. ”

His eyes narrowed into slits, and Sivir sighed in embarrassment, at least to rule out the possibility that the Azir ancestors allowed Zelas to brutalize his fellow royals.

At this point in the discussion, many of the once messy clues have almost been straightened out and have a reasonable explanation. Although she still had many doubts about the fall of the Shurima Empire, she also knew that she should not get any more accurate information from Nasus that she wanted to know.

I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her Azir ancestor who was kept in the dark by Zelas, and Sivir couldn't help but look at Ye Feng twice.

was told by Xavier that he was a little stupid, and Ye Feng was very depressed. Sensing Sivir's gaze, he said angrily, "What are you looking at me?"

"Nothing!"

Deliberately winking playfully at Ye Feng, Sivir turned to Nasus and smiled sincerely: "Thank you for helping me, Nasus, you are our elder, and there may be many things to trouble you in the future!"

Hearing Sivir compliment himself like this, Nasus also smiled heartily: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really good at talking, in fact, I also have something I want to ask you."

"Ask, we'll tell you if we know!" Sivir smiled absently.

"Did you see my brother Renekton when you opened the seal of the Emperor's Tomb?"
