CHAPTER 184 - Rebirth Envoy

Led by the yellow sand soldiers and Nasus, Li Lin and his companions bypassed the gathering area of ​​the outer crowd and entered the inner part of Sun City via the bridge.

With the experience in Vekaura, Nasus had already made up his mind to resume his duties and no longer hide himself.

The sunlight reflected by the Sun Disc shone on Nasus' dark divine body, making him appear even more sacred.

Along the way, many Shurimans spontaneously lowered their heads, crossed their hands, knelt down on one knee, and performed the highest etiquette of Shurima to Nasus.

Although Li Lin, Kai'sa's armor, and the remaining 17 hovering storm robots behind them were eye-catching, they were still overshadowed by the well-known Grand Scholar.

Crossing the bridge, Li Lin parked the storm robot at the door, and the group entered the city through the opposite golden gate, causing the noisy environment to quiet down a lot.

Generally speaking, the inner area of Sun City is not open to ordinary people for residence.

Only during some ceremonies or ascension rituals would the Emperor of Shurima order the opening of the city gates to allow ordinary people to enter the inner city.

However, in recent days, Shurima has experienced a once-in-a-century desert storm. Azir let all the refugees come in and protected them with a barrier formed by the power of the gods.

This is also one of the main reasons why more and more people are coming to seek refuge and sing his praises.

Walking on the golden avenue paved entirely with gold, some of the marble buildings on both sides were already inhabited.

They were young men who had already sworn allegiance to the Emperor and were undergoing training to become golden warriors.

Facing the respectful gaze of many people, Li Lin, Kassadin, Kai'sa, and Sivir felt emotional.

Li Lin was mainly moved by witnessing the resurgence of an empire, feeling excited and shocked.

Before crossing over, there was no landscape on Earth that could compare to the magnificent scene before him.

Kassadin didn't care about national issues; he only wanted to heal his daughter and then seek revenge on Malzahar.

Facing this scene, Kai'sa felt more nervous and uneasy, enduring the pain in various parts of her body, mainly due to the influence of her living skin.

Sivir felt her blood boiling in her body, an inexplicable sense of pride and responsibility filling her heart.

This is the glory of the Ascended bloodline!

With their own thoughts, they remained silent all the way until they reached the Ascension Altar.

A tall woman wearing the exclusive white robe of the Shuriman royal family, with dark skin and a sturdy figure, happened to walk down the steps of the Ascension Altar, accompanied by two rows of fully armed, sand-covered warriors whose faces were not visible.

Her long hair was tied into several long braids, separated by golden hair ornaments, and critical parts of her body were wrapped in golden armor. A chain connecting the golden shoulder guard to the golden wrist guard naturally hung from her neck, and a red stone scepter, similar to Azir's spear-like staff symbolizing the emperor, was tightly held in her left hand.

The woman stood two meters away from Nasus, lowered her head slightly, clenched her right fist against her left chest, and bowed slightly to Nasus, performing a standard traditional noble etiquette.

"By the command of the Sun Emperor, Datt Paoya is here to welcome your return, Grand Magister."

Nasus nodded in return, "Paoya... I remember this surname. Your ancestors had a marriage alliance with the royal bloodline."

"Now, as the Rebirth Envoy of the Sun Emperor, I will proclaim the greatness of the Sun Emperor and assist the Shuriman Empire in returning to its peak."

"...Rebirth Envoy?"

"This is a new position established by the Sun Emperor. When the new Ambassador of Gold Light for the empire is determined, I will lead the Golden Warriors to travel the continent and reintegrate the divided city-states under the control of Sun City."

The Ambassador of Gold Light is the highest envoy of Shurima, generally assisting the Emperor in resolving conflicts between various city-states within the empire.

To be elected as the Ambassador of Gold Light, it's not enough to just have a relationship with the royal family; one must have extraordinary intelligence and exceptional magical talents.

Not only that, but one also needs to undergo layers of tests under the control of the Ascended warriors who are skilled in mental magic.

Azir had already ascended, and these were things he could handle himself.

However, many descendants of the nobles who were once worthy of his trust have already disappeared into the river of history, and their bloodlines have dried up.

The remaining ones either lack magical talents, lack knowledge, are illiterate, or even have ulterior motives, wanting to make money using the identity of their ancestors...

With no suitable candidate, Azir established a new position under the Ambassador of Gold Light - the Rebirth Envoy.

It just so happened to coincide with his return and the re-rise of the empire.

Plus, he personally awarded Datt with the magic scepter symbolizing the royal family, so wherever she went, she was like the Ambassador of Gold Light, symbolizing the face of the empire.

It was normal for Azir to establish new positions around himself; he had done a lot to eliminate dissidents when he was still a normal person.

Nasus didn't pay much attention, "Hmm, I understand."

Datt smiled slightly, "The Sun Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped aside, clearing the way for Nasus.

After Nasus passed by her and ascended the steps, Datt returned to her original position.

She smiled gently, her emerald eyes quickly scanning the group, finally resting on Sivir, "Offering you water and shade, Princess Sivir."

Upon hearing this title, Sivir couldn't help but shiver and waved her hand disdainfully, "Um, just call me Sivir... let's skip the princess suffix."

"I understand." Datt's smile faded slightly, showing a vigorous air, "I've heard from the Sun Emperor that you were once a mercenary before you knew about your royal bloodline."

Sivir looked away and pursed her lips, not responding.

Mercenaries in Shurima were considered lowly, similar to desert guides, slightly better than miserable scavengers and despised bandits.

Although Sivir wasn't ashamed of her profession, hearing this from Datt always made her feel uncomfortable.

Seemingly sensing Sivir's thoughts, Datt sighed softly, "Actually, our destinies are similar."

"Hmm?" Sivir raised an eyebrow, her gaze returning to the so-called "Rebirth Envoy" in front of her.

"The Paoya family has long since declined... Before the return of the Sun Emperor, I was just a treasure hunter who made a living searching for treasures, often risking my life wandering around the Soansha Waterfall."

Sivir had heard of the Soansha Waterfall, located in the southwest corner of Sun City, adjacent to the Garden City that was once destroyed by the world runes.

Many people would throw their beloved items down the waterfall as offerings to the Ascended, making it a paradise for treasure hunters.

Sivir did not deny Datt's self-described experience.

Her demeanor was different from ordinary people, clearly weathered by life's hardships, knowledgeable about the hardships of life, yet not forgetting her ancestral teachings, having received good education.

But Datt's claim that Azir personally accepted her and appointed her as the Rebirth Envoy was too "simple", exaggerated even.

Without extraordinary intelligence and undergoing selection, how could she become Azir's confidant, let alone casually ascend the Ascension steps?

Sivir knew that Datt was trying to get close to her, so she chose to remain silent and ignore her.

The Emperor was right indeed, the princess's character still hasn't shaken off her rebellious period...

A glint of cunning flashed in Datt's eyes, then she looked at Li Lin, Kassadin, and Kai'sa, her face showing a warm smile again.

"You must be Li Lin and Kassadin, right? I've heard the Sun Emperor mention you. You fought the Void for Shurima and the Valley of Songs. He already knows everything through the Sand Soldiers."

"You overestimate us, it's all thanks to the Grand Magister," Li Lin said modestly.

Then, Datt's gaze shifted to Kai'sa, noticing that her armor seemed different from the Hextech technology on Li Lin.

"...And who is this?"
