Don't mess with the yordle

Chapter 200
Azir waved a hand, and an army of his elite soldiers stood up from the base of the ascension ladder.

Those former guards are now just illusory bubbles formed by the yellow sand, but under Azir's ascension power, these guards will once again fight for the Shurima Empire.

"Xerath, where does your hatred come from?"

Looking at Xerath, Azir asked the doubts in his heart. He wanted to "deadly" understand that he has always regarded Xerath as his most sincere friend. Although he is a master and servant in name, in fact He has always regarded Xerath as a brother, and his brother, in the end, betrayed him.

"I obviously freed you and all the slaves, just as you said, just as you wanted, why are you still not satisfied? You still want to betray me?"

Azir asked in a deep voice. He was really sad. The betrayal of his brother, the death of his close family members, and the fall of the empire were all happening again before his eyes. If it weren't for Nasus and Renekton who accompanied him, Otherwise, Azir would find it difficult to bear it alone.

"It's too late, friend, it's too late, brother. It's too late for us. Azir, it's too late for your promise, and I've been waiting for that moment for too long."

Xerath replied weakly, his words made Azir very puzzled, because he hadn't noticed Xerath's hatred for him at all, before that, he thought everything was the same, but Xerath's hatred seemed to be deeply rooted.

This made Azir almost start to tremble. He didn't want to believe that what Xerath had shown in the past was actually a performance, and that in his heart, he was actually filled with hatred.

"You don't know, Azir, I was born in a slave family, but my parents were not born slaves, they were scholars who were framed and arrested, and after becoming slaves, their lives no longer have any academic Research, nothing but endless servitude and submission.”

Xerath spoke slowly. He was recalling his life. He wanted to tell this spoiled emperor why he did what he did, and he would tell him the truth about everything.

"My mother taught me letters and numbers, and my father told me historical legends. They hoped that this knowledge could bring me a better life. At that time, I secretly swore in my heart that I would never be like that. A victim of hard labor and whipping like any other slave."

What Xerath said was very emotional, and Azir listened quietly without interrupting Xerath's narration. He didn't know much about Xerath's family background, because when he saw Xerath, Zelas Lars has no parents.

"We met in the Nasus Library. At that time, you were struggling to read an ancient text, and I helped you understand the complicated grammar. I still remember the content of that ancient text, because it changed my life. start."

Xerath recited the ancient text, which made Azir's heart tremble slightly. He almost forgot this ancient text.

"Slaves are not allowed to have a name, but you gave me a name, Xerath, which means "one who knows how to share." Taking advantage of royal privileges, you bought me from my teacher and turned me into a You made me your domestic slave and turned me into your personal assistant, but you don’t know why I am your teacher’s disciple.”

Xerath's tone changed, and began to bring hatred, although that hatred was very long ago.

"My father lost a leg during a foundation excavation project, and the entire project was just to erect a monument to your father's favorite horse! My father was left at the scene of the accident, and he died in great pain. My mother was afraid that I would suffer the same fate, so she begged a famous tomb architect to take me on as an apprentice. I was accepted, but I have never seen my mother again since then. .”

Azir opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he couldn't be blamed, at that time, he was just the most unfavored prince, and he couldn't influence his father at all.

But before he opened his mouth, Xerath had already continued to tell, which let Azir know that this incident was not the beginning of hatred, at least not the beginning of hatred towards him. He did not want to believe that Xerath When I first approached him, I was already full of hatred.

"I hate being a slave so much, and your appearance gave me hope, the hope of being free, the hope of us becoming friends and brothers, as you said, and for this hope, I gave everything. .”

Finally, Xerath came to the key point. Azir concentrated. He remembered that promise. In an assassination, all his brothers and sisters died, and Xerath protected him, but because Xerath was just a slave, even He was not even qualified to receive the reward. At that time, he promised Xerath that one day they would be like brothers, instead of the master-servant relationship like back then.

Azir had always remembered this, and he finally did, so he wanted to know what went wrong to fill Xerath's heart with hatred.

“You were too naive at the time, Azir, you thought that after the assassination, you would be the first in line to the throne.

But you forgot one crucial thing. Your father hates you, and after that incident, he even resented you for surviving. As long as a new prince is born, your death will be imminent. "

Xerath shook his head. He had never mentioned these things to Azir. He only persuaded Azir, who had a scholar's heart, to learn how to fight with Renekton. Only in that way could he be more capable. Live well.

Perhaps in order to become a civil and military emperor, Azir agreed to Xerath, and he began to learn how to fight with Renekton, and was quite talented in this area, and Xerath's pressure became a little less .

"In order to make you the emperor, I tried my best and learned all the skills. I used my magic to corrupt and kill all the queen's fetuses, just to save your life.

Despite my efforts, a prince was still born. In order to protect you, I had to show up in person. I killed the queen and her child, bumped into the emperor, and then killed him directly. Death, this gives you the opportunity to ascend the throne and be crowned emperor! "

Xerath's words not only stunned Azir, but Nasus and Renekton were also shocked by the truth.

None of them knew, they were all kept in the dark by Xerath, and were played around by Xerath, who was still a slave at the time.
