Azir waved to Li Lin and asked him to follow him away from Kassadin and Sivir.
Before Li Lin could ask, Azir spoke first: "I can feel... your soul is very special."
After learning about the affairs of Xerath and the Darkin, his hawk-like eyes always unconsciously reflected a sharp light.
Li Lin shuddered all over and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Damn it, could it be that my identity as a time traveler has been seen through...
"I know that everyone has their own secrets and hates others knowing their plans and thoughts, just like me."
Azir unconsciously recalled the promise he had made to Xerath to free the slaves.
But all his plans and ideas were just secrets in his own mind, and he never revealed them even to Xerath.
Perhaps this is why he is plotting to overthrow my rule...
Azir sighed silently in his heart, but he did not feel any regret.
As an emperor, you don't need to explain the reasons for your actions to your subjects.
Only by holding power firmly in one's own hands and under one's own wise leadership can the empire maintain its prosperity.
At least that's what he thought.
Since Xerath couldn't bear it and chose his own path, he became the mortal enemy of the Shurima Empire from the moment he implemented his plan.
Various thoughts quickly flashed through Azir's mind, and then he continued to look at Li Lin.
"I can't pry into your secrets, and I'm not interested in your secrets. You don't have to be so defensive against me.
"But I can also sense that you are not an ordinary mortal. Extraordinary power surges within you, but you have just reached a bottleneck."
Li Lin remained silent, then directly and generously acknowledged Azir's statement.
Even though their two systems were completely different, the guidance of a god-like warrior was still very helpful.
What's more, his system is like a "riddler". He really can't understand what the so-called "improving mechanical affinity" to achieve career advancement means.
Judging from the current situation, it is definitely different from the "affinity" given by adding the [Mechanical Affinity] skill.
“Although you are not a citizen of Shurima, you are one of the few who witnessed my resurrection and ascension ceremony... According to my previous practice, I will reward you with anything you want.
"It's just that the City of the Sun has just been rebuilt, and even I don't know how many treasures are left in the treasury. As for rewards, I can only give them to you after I have counted the treasury in the future."
Li Lin nodded, but did not uphold the fine tradition of humility in his blood to be polite and refuse.
On the one hand, it was against etiquette to refuse the emperor's gift.
If I politely refuse, it would be a big problem if he really doesn't give it to me.
This is the emperor's treasury, and according to Azir's temperament, since it is a reward, even if the treasury is emptied by tomb robbers, he will find ways to get other precious magical items.
"Before that, you can ask me any questions you have about your strength. I can help you solve your problems."
Li Lin thought for a moment and then rephrased his question, "I'm from Ionia. In Ionia, people have a special way of using weapons..."
During Azir's reign, few people traveled across the ocean to Ionia, so he didn't know much about the practice methods there.
He nodded and listened to Li Lin's question very carefully.
"Ionia emphasizes the unity of man and weapon. Simply put, it's the affinity between man and weapon..."
Upon hearing this, Azir couldn't help but chuckle. "I know what you're asking... There's one question you need to answer first. What do you think weapons are?"
"...Huh?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment. "Weapons are tools for attack and defense..."
"You see, there's something wrong with your understanding of it. How can I improve my 'affinity' with it?" Azir said in the tone of an elder teaching a younger generation.
Li Lin's eyes lit up, and his mind suddenly became clear. "What do you mean?"
"Weapons are not external objects. After long training and battles, they become a part of your body, a partner you can trust, no matter who they are, even a divine warrior."
A part of the body...
partner……
Li Lin took a deep breath and suddenly realized.
It turns out that I have been trapped in a misunderstanding.
As a mechanic, mechanical creations are certainly important and form part of one's strength.
But if we want to go further and just regard them as cold machines, a tool is far from enough.
To improve your affinity with machines, you need to view them as an extension of your body and as your own senses.
Only in this way will it be easier to control them, as if they were your own flesh and blood.
Azir noticed the expression on Li Lin's face and smiled slightly: "It seems that you have understood."
"Your wisdom, Your Majesty."
…
…
For a period of time afterwards, Li Lin talked with Azir about issues related to the reconstruction of the empire.
After a conversation, Azir discovered that Li Lin had his own unique insights on national construction - starting from the people's perspective and caring about the people.
And a considerable part of it is something that a high-ranking ruler like him cannot understand.
For this reason, Azir praised Li Lin highly and even intended to keep him by his side, as the reconstruction of the empire needed talents like him.
