[0811] True Purpose
Yasuo waited for a long time, and finally waited until Nathers took the initiative to talk about Zelas - so he took the opportunity to tell the story of Rekton taking the lead and seizing the city gate for the rebels.
Nathus's face was full of disbelief when he heard this.
Not only because Yasuo is as sarcastic as ever, with the long tongue-tap sound, but also because of the news itself.
Rekton...betrayed the Empire?
No, this is absolutely impossible!
Nathus knew his brother very well. He might be reckless sometimes, but when it comes to his love for the Shurima Empire, he is not inferior to himself.
So, how could Rekton work for that traitor?
"It seems you don't believe it?" Yasuo raised his eyebrows, "Okay, then let's take a look."
While speaking, Yasuo moved away for the first time, allowing Nathers to enter this small room.
Then, Nathers saw his brother.
Rekton was destined to look withered, and his once brilliant scales were already extremely dim at this time. A big crocodile looked like it had been lacking in water for a long time and was unsustainable.
On Rekton's body, an ordinary slender rope seemed to limit his movements, but when Nathers looked carefully, he found that it was clearly a rope that was an ordinary person's clothes and belts. This kind of rope could not tie Rekton anyway!
"What's going on?" Nathers's voice was deep, "What did you do to Rekton?"
"They didn't." Yasuo didn't say anything. Instead, after seeing his brother, Rekton showed bitterness and took the initiative to speak, "This is my own choice..."
"What the hell happened?" Although Yasuo had said it, Nathers asked Rekton, "How did you become like this?"
"I fell into the trap of the Astral Spirit and became a traitor's thug for a time." Rekton gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "This is... I deserve it."
As soon as the sin was deserving, Nathers realized that the problem was not good.
Especially the "Star Spirit's Trap", which gave him a subtle, familiar feeling.
The first thing that cleared the Dark Seeds and ended the Dark Seed War was a trap of the Twilight Star Spirit. This cunning Star Spirit took advantage of the Dark Seeds' bloodthirsty war, collapsed, and bribed their most trusted Zai Shi, which caused them to fight in the internal struggle. Finally, using the Charikar as the guide, eliminated the most restless Dark Seeds and sealed them into their weapons.
That history is called "the twilight of the gods", which marks that as a force, the Dark Seed has temporarily bid farewell to the historical stage of the Runeland - even if the Dark Seed occasionally recovers afterwards, no matter how it recovers, they are no longer the protagonists here.
The rune wars afterwards were as fierce, but the Suzaku of the war was not these former gods, but mortals who tried to master the power of runes. The entire rune land officially entered the era of mortals.
During that change, Nathus also quietly participated in the stage set - the news about Carykar was revealed by him.
However, Twilight Star Spirit was convinced. After the incident was completed, the legendary weapon was sent back to Sethaka's tomb again.
But Nathus never expected that one day the trajectory of the star spirit would be applied to his brothers.
In addition, he had never expected that the Ancestral Spirit would stand so openly on Zelas' side and become the leader of the traitor...
how so?
Facing Rekton's story, Nathers finally became a little confused.
When Azel died and the Shurima Empire collapsed. As the only remaining ascenator, the Nethers decided to see the empire rise again and pass on the inheritance he had accepted. It was precisely because of this belief that he could walk among mortals, waiting silently, accumulating strength, and looking forward to the day when the prophecy was fulfilled.
But now, the prophecy has been fulfilled. Azer relied on his own bloodline and the sun disk has stood tall in the desert again, but the runeland has long been completely different from the past.
Even after experiencing all these changes in his shoes, when a new era comes, Nathus still feels indescribable confusion.
He has not left the times.
But it's still because of this mountain.
As Nathus became confused, the room quickly fell into silence.
Yasuo was waiting for Nathers to speak.
It was the first time that Nathus placed the Astral Spirit on Shurima's chessboard and started his own thinking again.
Neither side spoke, both sides were waiting for each other to continue speaking.
………………………………………
"This is not Rekton's mistake." After all, Nathers spoke first, "The cunning prodigal spirit has his own plot."
"Maybe...who knows?" Yasuo seemed to have guessed this sentence long ago, "I am just giving him a fair judgment on behalf of Sethaka. You know, according to Shurima's rules, everything is judged regardless of your heart."
"If you have to talk about the truth," since he spoke, Nathers obviously had his own ideas. "Recton just expelled the Noxus people - although that poor city fell into the hands of the traitor afterwards."
Good guy.
Yasuo almost said good guy on the spot.
Yasuo used Sethaka to suppress people here, wanting to directly beat Rekton to rebel, so as to use his bargaining chip to exchange for the advantage of Nethers.
Nathus simply started deconstructionism to prove that this was not a rebellion. Anyway, when Rekton attacked the city, Uzeris was not the city of Shurima.
"...You really are, Master Grand Secretary." Faced with this sophistry, Yasuo was speechless for a moment, "After mingling with mortals for a long time, you have become cunning."
"Flexibility is an attitude that every scholar must have, and it is not opposite to rigor." After regaining his own rhythm a little, Nathus finally restored his style as a Grand Secretary. "Even if it is an enemy, there should be a sequence, and Rekton... there is nothing wrong with it."
"That's because I brought him back before he made a bigger mistake." Yasuo nodded, as if he had reluctantly accepted the remark, "As thanks, what is the Grand Secretary going to give?"
What to pay?
Although Nathers had long realized that Yasuo had a purpose, he really couldn't guess what the purpose was - when he saw Yatox again, his former colleague seemed to be surrounded by fog.
So he simply kicked the ball back.
“It depends on what Yatoks needs.”
And Yasuo is waiting for this sentence.
"I need revenge - to avenge the void, to the star spirit!"
