LOL: Let me touch your steel

Chapter 57 The Lost Ancient Capital?

Looking at the backs of the two people stepping onto the stone steps and gradually walking away, Ezreal finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't dare to make any movement, let alone show any dissatisfaction or make any remarks.

Who knows if this monster that can survive in the void will notice his little move, so it's better to be careful...

Ezreal wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to stand up when he saw the two figures who had just left coming back.

Damn it!

Could it be that he changed his mind and doesn't intend to give me a chance to live?

The corners of Ezreal's mouth kept twitching, and the anxiety in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

Zhang Xu and Kasa returned to the temple again, and looked at the little yellow-haired boy who was trembling and trying to stand up, with a little sympathy on their faces.

Isn't it a bad idea to just leave the little yellow-haired boy here?

Well... Little Yellow Hair has been doing exploration work for so many years, he is an experienced explorer after all, he should be able to handle this situation, right?

It should be fine, I believe you, little yellow hair!

Zhang Xu stood in front of the little yellow-haired boy, holding his body with both hands, helping him to stabilize his standing posture, and a warm smile appeared on his face:

"Since you are an explorer, you must have a map of the Shurima Desert, right? We have lived in the void for too long and don't know much about the outside world, so I need a map."

call...

Map! I was so scared... I thought he was going to come back and fuck me...

and many more?

map?

Ezreal's eyes widened instantly. He did have the map with him, but this was the only copy he had!

He found this map among the things left behind by his parents. Not only was it beautifully drawn, but it also contained various safety routes drawn and marked by his parents and himself!

If a map like this were sold in Piltover, it could fetch a high price!

The most important point is that this map was left by his parents, and he has put a lot of hard work into it!

Ezreal doesn't really care about other things, but this thing is absolutely impossible!

......

Zhang Xu held the almost comprehensive map in his hands, and a look of amazement gradually appeared on his face.

This map...is so detailed!

Almost all the tribes, ethnic groups and even the locations of ruins in the Shurima Desert have been marked!

Moreover, this map is encrypted, and it should be written in...ancient Shurima language?

Fortunately, Zhang Xu had learned the ancient Ekassia language in Jilan's tower, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to understand what was written on it.

As a vassal state of Shurima that existed in the same period as Shurima, the two countries' writing systems are very similar, with only some minor differences, but this does not affect Zhang Xu's recognition.

"Vikora, Valley of Song, Antasil..."

Ezreal half-crouched and curled up in a corner, with tears on his face, and kept muttering: "Bandit...robber!"

Ezreal muttered the word "bandit" very smoothly, completely forgetting that he was also a bandit to the owners of the ancient tombs in Shurima.

He really didn't want to give this map to Zhang Xu.

But he couldn't resist Zhang Xu's strength which was much higher than his. When Zhang Xu controlled him and searched him, he couldn't resist at all. He could only watch the map which he regarded as a treasure being taken away by Zhang Xu mercilessly.

Fortunately, this guy didn't punch him again.

For Ezreal, this may be a blessing in disguise.

"Ezreal, this place... you probably marked it not long ago, right? The handwriting here is different from other places, so it must have been added not long ago."

Zhang Xu noticed something strange and pointed to a circled mark on the map and looked at Ezreal:

"This mercenary group... and this lost ancient city were marked by you recently, right?"

Very suspicious...

There are actually three question marks after the words "Lost Ancient Capital"...

suspicious!

So suspicious!

There are no question marks in most places on the map, only this place has a question mark.

Hearing Zhang Xu's voice, Kassa also came over from the side, leaned her head directly on Zhang Xu's shoulder and looked at the map in Zhang Xu's hand.

These question marks were indeed very conspicuous, and Kassadin noticed them at the first moment.

However, Kaisa didn't have any special idea in his mind. He just followed Zhang Xu and focused his attention on Ezreal.

Being watched by these two big men, Ezreal instantly felt a surge of pressure, and then he sighed as if resigned to his fate:

“Before coming to this ancient temple, I met a group of mercenaries in the desert of Shurima. The leader of this group of mercenaries was a very outstanding person, so I wanted to make friends with her. But among that group of mercenaries, I found some very strange people.”

"Although these people are mixed in with the mercenary group, they are very mysterious. And I didn't travel with them for too long. I only vaguely discovered at the end that they might be from Noxus. They hired this mercenary group, and their target seems to be a lost ancient city."

"After parting with them, I speculated based on their route and concluded that their destination might be this place on the map. I wasn't sure, so I put a question mark. I originally planned to go to this place to take a look after leaving this temple."

Finally I met you two.

Not only did he get punched, but his map was also stolen! !

Ezreal's face was full of resentment, just like a shrew.

However, Zhang Xu and Kaisa's attention was not on him at all. Listening to Ezreal's story, Zhang Xu's expression gradually changed from curiosity at the beginning to solemnity later, and there seemed to be a knot between his brows.

A...very familiar story!

If I am not mistaken, the mercenary group mentioned by the little yellow-haired boy... should be Sivir's mercenary group, and the mysterious person hidden in the mercenary group should be the Noxian soldiers headed by Cassiopeia.

This commission will bring back the ancient empire of Shurima!

Along with the revival of this ancient empire, there also came the revival of Azir, the last emperor of Shurima, Xerath, the culprit who overthrew Shurima, Nasus, the ascended being from thousands of years ago, and Renekton, who had his sanity destroyed and turned into a beast!

There are four ascenders with the strength of demigods!

Next, Azir will start a war with Xerath that will sweep across the entire continent for the rule of Shurima.

The yellow sand, which has been silent for thousands of years, is about to rage on this ancient land again.

Turbulence may become the main theme for a long time to come.

Chapter 58: Taking Off Clothes

go? Still not going?

This seems to be a huge problem.

The reappearance of the Shurima Empire and the resurrection of the Tsar are definitely a major event in the entire Runeterra. If you miss this grand event, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

But if you go...

very dangerous.

Four demigod-level ascenders, this level of existence is probably completely beyond his imagination. If he and Kassadin encounter any of them, it will be difficult for them to escape unscathed.

It is estimated that only Nasus, a scholar with a relatively mild personality, would not attack them.

Among the four ascenders, the most terrifying one should be...Xerath?

Zhang Xu frowned, recalling Zeratul's background story.

If I remember correctly, Xerath was not just an ascender. During the ascension process, he fused his dark magic with the energy of ascension and solidified it into a powerful energy body. Even Nasus and Renekton could only drag Xerath into the magical sarcophagus that once sealed the Eternal Flame Beast and seal it with enchanted chains.

Meeting this guy who tries to conquer and reap everything in the world is definitely the most dangerous thing. The degree of danger may even exceed that of the resurrected Tsar.

Two options...

While Zhang Xu was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Kassa's gaze fell back on the map. He kept browsing the map, and a strong curiosity gradually emerged.

Before falling into the underground world, she lived in a tribe in the southern desert of the Shurima continent, which was actually quite a distance away from the real Shurima Desert.

The stories she had heard most since she was a child were the stories her father told her about the various strange and magnificent scenes in the desert.

Now that she has the map, she wants to go and take a look, following her father's footsteps and seeing the scenery along the way.

But Kasa did not say anything to interfere with Zhang Xu's judgment, but just gently squeezed Zhang Xu's hand.

Zhang Xu looked back, and when his eyes met Kasa's face, he finally made a decision in his heart.

When you are struggling over whether to go to a place, going is the best answer. When you are unsure whether you really want to do something, you will often regret it if you don’t do it.

After making a decision in his heart, Zhang Xu took back Kaisa's hand which was wrapped in the Void Skin Armor, and turned his gaze to look at Ezreal who had been ignored by them for a long time:

"Do you have any women's clothing on you?"

unacceptable!

It would be fine if you just beat me up, but you actually have to insult me ​​like this?

Ezreal's eyes widened instantly, and the swear words of the Piltover master were almost blurted out, but he swallowed them back and only replied aggrievedly:

"No."

Zhang Xu shook his head with some regret.

Unfortunately, if the little yellow-haired man had it, they wouldn't have to look for the passing caravan. But if the little yellow-haired man really had it, it would be a rare thing.

"You must have prepared men's clothes, right? You can't just bring one set of clothes when you go out on an adventure, right?"

Zhang Xu pointed at his clothes that had become tattered again, and stretched out his hand to ask Ezreal for money.

Even though the little yellow-haired guy is much shorter than him, these are clothes specially made for adventures after all. They should be more durable and he should be able to fit into them, right?

There was a moment of silence.

Ezreal, who had nothing left on his body, looked at the figures of Zhang Xu and Kaisa gradually disappearing in the yellow sand, and his face instantly fell.

Originally, he had planned to go in this direction to join in the fun after leaving the temple...but since these two people chose to go there, he definitely wouldn't go there again!

Now he just wants to stay away from Zhang Xu!
