"For your words, I'll invite you to eat boiled eggs now, which have been soaked in vinegar and are easy to peel." Jeno said with a smile, hooking up with Jax and walking to the restaurant.

"Wit!" Jax burst out laughing, but the laughter sounded harsh to Azir.

Kauali is not a good word for Azir, they represent the dead who rebelled against Shurima, and were exposed to the streets by the Emperor. What's more, Jax just said that he had killed the Ascended.

On their respective standpoints, they are absolute enemies. But in the face of the Void, they had to work together, at least not on Jeno's ship.

"Nasus, what do you think? That Jax, while acknowledging our strength, ignores our existence. ”

"Your Majesty, once powerful, we can conquer any civilization, but we cannot erase civilization from the hearts of the people. Jeno is right when he says that history is like this, and we should face history squarely and learn from it. Acacia is the only one left, and no matter what the outcome is, he can't threaten us, so let's focus on facing the Void. ”

Nasus seemed reluctant to talk about Acacia, and he regretted Setaka's death. He was perfunctory, but Azir was like the little prince in the library, questioning him endlessly.

"Why didn't we agree to the Acacians joining the Ascension and becoming one of the Celestial Warriors? Is it because of the bloodline? "Azir was born hundreds of years after the Great Void War, and he knows very little about the past. It just so happens that Nasus, who is next to him, has witnessed most of Shurima's history, so to speak, as a walking library.

Now that the emperor has asked, the courtiers can only know everything.

"No, Your Majesty, you need to know that in the first place, we conquered Acacia by bloody means, and Emperor Shurima exposed a carrion corpse of Kauali to the streets, and nailed the mage king himself to the city gate until the bones rotted. Our atrocities have planted the seeds of hatred in the hearts of Acacia, and they have not subsided for eight hundred years. Although autonomy was permitted, the royal family never treated the vassal states as equals, but as slaves. We use them to teach them all sorts of skills, and we reward them with suffering. We consume their flesh until they are exhausted. When we use them to the fullest, we put them aside and ignore them. It is impossible for Jax, who is the deceased of Kauali, not to know this true history. And the Ascension Regiment is a major military secret for Shurima, and if a hateful Acacian is mixed in, he is afraid that there will be trouble, so Shurima has not allowed the Gentiles to ascend. ”

Azir didn't expect the topic to be so heavy, and looked at the entrance of the cabin with a puzzled look.

"But he didn't tell this cruel history just now."

"Maybe he's let go of that history and doesn't want to rehash it." Nasus said.

"Are we to blame for all this?" Azir looked at the starry sky that was quietly emerging, his eyes full of confusion.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. That history has nothing to do with you, and the suffering of slaves ends at your hands. You sit up straight, so why bother with other people's opinions. ”

"Alas......"

……

The Abyss made its way towards Acacia at night, arriving in its vicinity in the early morning.

"Hey! What do you see I found? A village! Captain Sarah shouted, waking everyone up from their dreams.

"What's so strange that even the most sinister land will be inhabited by humans." Jax stepped out onto the deck to move his rusty muscles, peeling a hard-boiled egg in his hand.

"Let's go down and have a look, do some research or something." Jeno looked at the sparsely populated small village, and suddenly became interested in the ecology of the area around Acacia.

The Abyss stopped in a nearby valley and was guarded by Ryze.

A few people walked into the village together, and Jeno wanted to talk to the villagers, but the locals were afraid of the inhuman appearance of some of them, and kept away from them.

"Why don't we go back?" Azir felt a little disappointed and said to Nasus and Verus.

They all look different from ordinary people, and people are afraid of him, so it is better to go back and be with Ryze.

"Don't." Jeno dispelled his thoughts: "This is still Shurima's territory, and it will definitely work if it moves out of the name of the Eagle Father." ”

Smoke rises from the early morning cooking, the chirping of goats comes to your ears, and a girl is adding fodder to them in the pen of a farmhouse not far away.

The girl looked like she was twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in simple clothes, with yellowish and dry skin, and a sickle pinned to her back, the rusty blade of which hung with the early morning dew. At the moment, the girl was teasing the goat with a straw pole.

Although she was playing with the goats, she didn't get any pleasure from it, and she had a sad face and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Ellie, come in for breakfast." A man's voice came from the farmhouse: "Don't go out in vain every morning to mow the grass and feed the goats, these goats are not pets, they are soon to be sacrificed." ”

"Father, why do we have to listen to those strangers? Give our goats to them to sacrifice to the dark forces of the earth. The girl put down the straw in dissatisfaction, stood up and swept her dusty pants.

"Because they are the people of the prophets, rebelling against them will only bring trouble to the village." The man said again, his voice full of helplessness.

"But I heard the girl who came back say that they are not good people, and let me not listen to their ......" The girl froze as she saw several tall, inhuman figures approaching her.

"That girl is a monster, and even though she didn't hurt you, we all saw her turn into a monster! Come in and have breakfast, don't talk about the useless ones. Ellie? Ellie! Eli ......" the man in the room munched and babbled, and after a long time of unanswered calls, he slammed the door impatiently.

"Ellie, what are you doing?"

At this glance, the man was stunned, because his daughter was shrouded in the tall shadows of the two beast-headed monsters, motionless.

The kobold just glanced at him, and it immediately sent ripples of fear through his heart.

"Ellie, run! The man pleaded, removing a pair of bows and arrows from the wall, pulling the bowstring with trembling hands, aiming for Nasus.

Eli's father seemed to be a capable hunter, and only the best could live here, but what happened to him at the moment made him nearly collapse.

"Ellie!" The arrow that had been aimed was too late to shoot, and the man cried, "Get out of here...... Stay away from those monsters! ”
