Chapter 906: There is no night in the Oasis of Dawn
"How?" Azir asked.
"You ask me? I don't know. Jeno deliberately plucked out his ears in front of Azir, and then flicked his fingers to flick some yellow powder into the golden hall.
His ears are dry, and if the earwax gets mixed with the sand, it's almost impossible to tell the difference.
Although Azir has no habit of cleanliness, such a provocation really angers him, and if Jeno continues to be unreasonable, he may turn his face again.
"I have a way to find it, if you give me Naganeka." Nasus didn't want to see the conflict happen, it was too sudden to stop it, and he couldn't let it go this time.
"Your Excellency, I'll trouble you." Jeno said to Nasus in a very different and respectful tone, opening his palms as he opened his palms.
Nasus nodded, looked at the fangs in the crystal, and first did a good job of psychological construction, and then reached out to take it.
As soon as the crystal was in his hands, Nasus immediately heard a strange cry for help, and an invisible darkness enveloped his eyes. But because of his mental preparation, Nasus's sanity was not pulled into the darkness.
A blinding sun rose before his eyes, and the scorching sun scorched away the darkness and brought Nasus to his senses. He moved his mouth slightly, and said to a few people, "I need to go to the astrological tower and know the result in the evening." ”
……
Jeno and the others didn't spend the night in the palace, because they all had a talent for magic and were born with a closer connection to the spiritual realm.
As a result, they can always reach the fleeting dust apparitions of the Oasis of Dawn, and they open their mouths to let out silent screams. They turned and fled, fell, crawled, and finally were instantly obliterated by an invisible energy, turning into dust and passing away with the wind, leaving only the fear and pain of dying moments screaming in their minds.
These apparitions are echoes of the Big Bang, recording the dying moments of the ancient Shurima and replaying them in countless loops.
Although it will not harm the human body, how can a city full of ghosts and a tomb be comfortable?
Some people may feel very handsome and majestic when they see that Azir can summon sand soldiers at will. But if they knew that those were the soldiers who had been destroyed with the Oasis of Dawn, they probably wouldn't think so.
As many people died as he could, Azir could summon as many sand soldiers.
And the sand soldiers were not as glamorous as they looked, they were dry and dirty with the stench of deep earth, like rotting robes that were sometimes blown over by the wind on the dunes and stuck to the skeletons.
They are not warriors who fight to protect their loved ones or defend the weak, but terrible magical creations who know nothing but killing and destroying. These empty, soulless warriors have no knowledge of mercy and forgiveness.
Another reason that drove Jeno back to the Abyss was the Solar Disk.
This ancient giant relic glows twenty-four hours a day, and its light is almost indistinguishable from normal sunlight, illuminating the entire city, and there is no need to turn on the street lights at night, I don't know how energy-efficient it is.
Jeno reckoned that if UV-feared vampires wanted to take over the world and turn the Runeterras into the home of the Red Devils, the Oasis of Dawn could become a fortified city that the vampires would never be able to attack.
Of course, too bright can also cause light pollution, for example, Nasus has to climb to the high astrological tower and try to stay as far away from the solar disk as possible to see the stars clearly. When the sun appears, the stars disappear.
In the Oasis of Dawn, the Sun Disk, one of the two sacred objects that Jeno was most interested in, had already been seen, and the rest was the Temple of the Sun.
The most common buildings in the Oasis of Dawn are the various temples, most of which are the residences of the Ascendants, and it makes sense that the Celestial warriors live in the temples.
But what is incredible is that there is basically no rain or snow here all year round, but there is a river of life that runs through Shurima's east and west, spanning from the Giant God Peak to the Python River Basin, and it is only a few dozen nautical miles away from Bilgewater.
This starts with the city's distinctive architectural structure.
The outermost circle of the Dawn Oasis is a ring dam like the Great Wall, and then inward is a huge moat with a width of 100 meters and a depth of more than 100 meters. This moat may be described as a rift in the continental plate to reveal that majestic atmosphere. In the middle is the main body of the city like a beehive, a huge arch stone spans almost the entire city, holding up the solar disk with a diameter of thousands of meters, floating in the clouds.
The dam stretched inward from huge platforms that resembled sharpened cliffs, each of which connected vertically to the moat below, where Shurima's army had gathered. The statues of the temples in the main body of the city spit out large mouthfuls of water from their mouths, converging in a single outlet that flows like a waterfall into the moat around the city.
There are huge gaps between the cliff-like rock platforms, and when you stand on the Abyss and look down at the Oasis of Dawn, you will feel like the scales on a huge clock. The water in the moat flows out of the dam through the intervals of the rock platforms, thus forming the Mother River of Life.
Yes, you heard it right! In fact, the largest river in Shurima is just an extension of the moat of the Oasis of Dawn, which is terrifying!
The water of the Mother of Life River is cool and clear, and the people of Shurima say that it is good when they drink it. Once they drink it, they will never forget the taste for the rest of their lives.
Before that, people had to move around in search of water. Outside of the cloud season that lasts for several weeks each year on the towering peaks of the south, rain pours down the incisions, creating a powerful, short-lived torrent that never lasts. After just a few weeks, people had to rely on the water that came out of the caves. The water is cloudy and yellow, and it feels like gnawing on metal.
In such a contrast, the stable and inexhaustible river of life seems to have turned into nectar. In fact, most of the Shurima tribes have stopped migrating in search of water, and even if they dare not come to the Oasis of Dawn for fear of royal power and strife, they will choose to settle on the banks of the river.
The capital is sparkling, and the light of the sun's disc casts into the mist that fills the moat, and if you find the right angle, you can see the wonder of the rainbow at night.
The magical sunlight and river water nourished the thirsty desert, and in just two years, plants and plants grew rapidly around the city. Beyond the city dam, the desert, which used to be barren of grass, has turned into a verdant patch, and some people have even begun to try to grow crops.
The Oasis of Dawn, worthy of its name.
