Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

Syndra? Who is this?

Ezreal muttered in his heart, looking at the empty hall with curiosity.

Obviously not here, but can accurately monitor every move here, this is the most important position of Noxus.

"Member Syndra, another mage living in the floating castle, don't use your ignorance to speculate on the strength of the other party."

Seeing Ezreal's cranky expression, Camille said something casually.

Hearing her sharp words like a blade, Ezreal froze in his heart.

He could understand Camille's subtext, someone the other side couldn't afford to offend.

Camille's story, he grew up listening to. Such beings are warning themselves like this, shouldn't they listen...

Well, at least until his MP status is confirmed.

Ezreal didn't look sideways and stood up straight, like a soldier waiting to be awarded a medal.

On the other side, the discussion between Swain and Victor was also coming to an end, and Camille took Victor out of the door, as if to have another exchange.

In the parliament hall, people are even more sparse.

Apart from him, there was only Xin Zhao standing at the door, and Swain who turned his attention to him.

"Ezreal, an unusual explorer." Swain turned his gaze to him.

"arrive!"

Ezreal raised his chest subconsciously, joy in his heart.

Look, the big figures in the empire can remember their names, doesn't this prove that their reputation is already great!

Swain's eyes didn't stop at him, but at the armguard on his hand.

"Unusual experience, or the blessing of the gods, or the erosion of darkness, interesting."

He gave almost the same evaluation as Ryan at that time. Through the power of the demon, he could see the unusual power attached to the arm guard.

But that power is not dark, but seems to be assisting Ezreal.

Perhaps, the boy in front of him is a lucky boy.

"Hahaha, everyone said that I was favored by the gods, and I was born with a lovable face."

Ezreal was generous, without the slightest embarrassment.

"It's really good." Swain nodded slightly.

The two seemed to be saying the same thing, but Swain knew very well that what he said was not the same as what the other thought.

But he didn't want to repeat too much, and instead mentioned:

"Your talent for exploration is favored by the president of the Council. Noxus has no precedent for explorers, but there are many mercenaries. We welcome everyone who brings benefits to the empire."

Ezreal understood in seconds, with a bright smile on his face, he said without hesitation:

"The income from the exploration is not important. For the development of the empire, I am willing to do my part. I only have one small request, let me be honored!"

Before coming, he had done his homework.

Noxus is pragmatic, and for every point of service to the empire, there will be a point of military merit as a reward. The credit that should belong to him, no one can take it away.

Besides, he didn't need any military exploits, he just wanted to take part in exciting expeditions and spread his reputation across the continent.

In the past, he had to worry about what to do with expedition equipment and materials, but now, with the Noxus Empire as his back, he wanted nothing.

And it just so happens that Noxus values ​​glory, and the people behind each glorious event are hyped.

It's like Darius' famous name and Ryan's legend. These deeds will be widely publicized in the empire, and then spread to other countries, bringing great fame to the protagonists of those stories.

He didn't need any material rewards, he just wanted to have a similar legend.

"For the glory, yes, you are very suitable for Noxus. Many mercenaries are also good explorers themselves. The Empire will set up an Explorers Guild, and you can recruit them yourself. The Empire follows the law of strength, and only discovers Orash. Vazuun, it's not enough to convince the crowd," Swain stated.

"Understood, I still need a big discovery, does the empire have a goal now?" Ezreal was excited.

When it comes to adventure, he's a real connoisseur.

The title of president is right in front of him, how could he give up. So much so that he now talks about the empire as if he were talking about his own home.

If he can make him famous, he will explore where the empire refers in the future.

"There is indeed one at present. A tomb was found in the southeast of Shurima Continent."

"The Mausoleum? I am familiar with the history of Shurima. Which king's tomb is it? From the specifications and murals, I can infer which Shurima Emperor is." Ezreal raised his chest and seemed particularly confident.

In order to explore the tomb of Netzuk, he did his homework.

Now it's just doing a similar thing, for him, it couldn't be easier.

"Axam, that's his name," Swain said.

"Axam... Emperor Shurima doesn't have this name, but... why is this name so familiar..." Ezreal scratched his head in distress.

Swain did not interrupt each other's thoughts, he and Ryan both knew the origin of the name.

But they can't even get close to Syndra, they need someone who is favored by God.

"Wait, I figured it out! Icacia's last Mage King... Akzam!!!"

Ezreal swallowed and looked at Swain in horror.

After coming out of Vazuan, in order to inquire about the information of the Void, he saw an ancient book in Lemir's collection with a detailed account of Icacia.

The Mage King, in the entire history of Runeterra, only Icathia, thousands of years ago, had this title.

And now, it has become a dead place.

"I heard... After the last Mage King failed to resist Shurima, he was nailed to the city gate until he became a skeleton. Even if later generations built a mausoleum for him, it would be of little value."

To be honest, it's not Ezreal's heart, but after seeing the power of the void that day, he doesn't think he has the power to fight now.

"There are more than one generation of mage kings surnamed Akzam, and the location of the mausoleum is not in Acacia." Swain said lightly.

Hearing this, Ezreal breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Shurima's land, and he's not necessarily the last Mage-King, he was buried there by Shurima's ascendants," Swain added.

Ezreal frowned slightly and muttered to himself:

"No, it shouldn't be. Icathia has always been a colony of Shurima. Even the Mage King should not let them take it seriously."

"So the head of parliament guessed that there was not necessarily a burial there, but perhaps a repression."

"Repression..."

Ezreal thought of Vazuun's temple, where a Void creature was suppressed.

To be called repression is always a bad thing.

"what should I do?"
