[0897] The old man is still
It is difficult to describe Jax's mood at this time.
Jax, who handed over the eternal flame and returned to Akasia, thought he had been prepared to face death calmly, but when he heard this voice, he finally realized that he was not calm in his heart.
Not only is it uneasy, but it is even difficult to calm down.
Waiting for the last glory of Akasia and finally returning to the roots of fallen leaves is certainly a good destination, but the void is still there. If possible, why would he also want to see the void fade away with his own eyes and Akasia is prosperous again?
Now, he heard a familiar voice, whose master was once his colleague, and like himself, full of concern for the arrival of the void - and at the moment he heard this voice, a thought quietly appeared in Jax's mind.
"If it were him, maybe there would be a chance?"
The other party did not disappoint Jax. After saying hello, a wonderful force filled the entire ground hernia. The students did not feel much about it, but as a void infected person, Jax subtly sensed a special meaning.
The whole world seemed to have become slower, and both people and objects entered a subtle slow motion state, and the speed became slower and slower--until completely restless, he finally saw the familiar figure.
"Kiran." Jax breathed a sigh of relief, "It's you."
………………………………………
Kieran was once a colleague of Jax and an Ekasian.
Jax was still called Ajax at that time.
However, unlike Ajax, who took the bottom line, honed his martial arts little by little, and made his mark in the Akasia Restoration Movement, Kiran was called a genius very early on - he first learned elemental magic and admired his elder Yuental personally taught the mystery of elements, and less than ten years later, he had almost mastered all the knowledge of this elder.
Afterwards, Kiran did not stop his pace. He followed the Star Master, Astrology Master, Arcane Wizard and Practice. The road to practice began in the east from the Faraj Plain (now the Farajse Desert in Shurima), to the west from the Yamalanhin Coast (the westernmost part of Shurima Continent), to the north from the Wazuan Port (now Zuan), and to the south from the Cape of Akasia. With his rich knowledge and powerful strength, Kiran became a member of the Akasia ruled parliament when he was thirty-two years old.
The so-called "Ekasia's rule over the parliament" was the highest administrative body of Ekasia at that time - formed by outstanding warriors, mages, philosophers and legislators from Ekasia, responsible for handling matters in Ekasia under the leadership of Emperor Shurima.
At that time, Ekasia was still the "autonomous jurisdiction" of Shurima. This name sounds good, but it was just a colony in the final analysis. Moreover, because Ekasia itself has rich resources and strong strength, among many "autonomous jurisdictions", Ekasia has always been the one who was treated differently.
There are ascenders in other autonomous jurisdictions, but the ascension object that Akasia recommends every time he ascends has never been recognized by Shurima. Even if he is a genius like Kiran, he still "does not meet the requirements."
Differential treatment has led to a significant slowdown in the process of "Shurimaization" in Akasia. Even if people in other autonomous jurisdictions still do not consider themselves as Shurima, they are always willing to be loyal to the emperor and recognize the emperor as the supreme leader.
However, due to the different treatment and excessive exploitation, Akasia, the borderland, gradually became dissatisfied with the Shurima Empire. More and more Akasia people were dissatisfied. They hoped to leave Shurima, no longer offer to those Shurima masters, restore the former Akasia's wizard king, and rebuild Akasia.
In this wave, the rational Kiran is a rare "right-wing element". He did not fight radically directly, but hoped to make a big move, and act together with all Shurima autonomous jurisdictions to resist the rule of Shurima people.
To this end, he lobbied from many ways to try to win over the Ishtars, Kardugas, and Vazouans to act together to form a coalition to resist Shurima. For this reason, Kiran formulated a huge plan, while restraining the actions of the God Warriors Legion, and attacking against Shurima on multiple sides. By showing his skills, Emperor Shurima came to the negotiating table and acknowledging the independence of everyone.
Unfortunately, Kiran's lobbying ended in failure - other forces were very interested in the result of this plan, but they had no confidence in the process. At that time, the Shurima Empire still had four-digit god warriors. Even if this force was divided as Kiran expected, everyone could hardly fight.
Frustrated Kiran returned to Akasia. Before he could come up with a better plan, he found that when he left, the Akasia people could not wait to act. They rebel without fully recognizing the gap between the enemy and us and supported a wizard king!
Are everyone crazy?!
Kieran was stunned and asked what was going on with the parliament, but in the end he got two news.
The first news was that a mortal killed the Ascenator, which broke the myth of the Ascenator's invincibility and greatly encouraged the morale of the Akasians.
(Yes, Ajax did this, he defeated an unlucky god warrior with his enchanted rune battle axe.)
The second news is that the Council has found a new force that can be used against all the god warriors. This force is mysterious and powerful, and is named Void.
These fanatical patriots excitedly described the incredible things in the void to Kiran, but Kiran was just looking at these once rational and knowledgeable Akasians, and their hearts were filled with grief.
Kiran knew very well how terrible the uncontrolled power was, but in the midst of the craze for restoration, no one listened to his honest advice.
Finally, in the Battle of Akasia, Kiran's worries all came true.
As soon as the void was released on the battlefield, it immediately swallowed up the mages who tried to control it, and then completely destroyed the entire Akasia and wiped out everything.
In this desperate moment, Ajax fled the battlefield and took away the last bit of eternal flame that could inhibit the void; Kiran used his immature time magic to completely remove his mage tower from time.
The time in the Mage Tower has always stopped at the moment when it was about to be swallowed by the void, and Kiran was completely abandoned by time and became a person wandering outside the long river of time - he could travel along time at will, but no matter what he saw and heard, he had no ability to change at all, and could only let it go...
