LOL: Let me touch your steel

One of the teams was a mercenary group with a formidable reputation in the desert.

Among this mercenary group full of big black men, a beautiful figure is particularly eye-catching.

The woman had a beautiful face, delicate features and a tall figure. Because she had been walking in the desert for many years, her skin had been tanned to a healthy wheat color. Her clothes were not restrictive, exposing her perfect figure with a waistline to the air. Her long hair on her shoulders was soaked with sweat, which added a different kind of charm to her.

Next to the woman was a cross blade that contained exquisite craftsmanship and magical power. It was the trophy she obtained after accepting the commission from Elder Nashramé.

She cut off the head of her employer's bodyguard captain and fought her way out of the situation before she got the treasure she couldn't let go of.

It is worth mentioning that although she is resting at the moment, she still keeps her hand on the cross blade, as if she will pick it up for battle at any time.

The woman's identity was actually the leader of this mercenary group, Sivir, the goddess of war in the desert!

Xiweier took the kettle handed to him by his subordinate and drank it in big gulps in an unrestrained manner. Then he raised his eyebrows and signaled the subordinate who handed him the water to speak.

"Boss... what do you think the origins of this group of people are? Look at the leader, the clothes she wears are more expensive than all my wealth, and her skin is so white and tender that it seems that water can be squeezed out of it... And there are so many extraordinary people guarding her. Could she be a noble lady from somewhere?"

Listening to his subordinates' words, Shiver raised his eyebrows, and his eyes drifted in another direction.

The noble lady as her subordinates called her was currently sitting in a place that was completely shielded from the sunlight, drinking slowly and leisurely from the water bottle in her hand. Even during her break, the well-trained guards beside her did not completely relax and remained on guard around them.

A place like this...could it be dangerous?

Xiweier narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

It was obvious that this group of people did not trust them, nor did they trust her famous mercenary group.

But it doesn’t matter. In her heart, Shiver didn’t believe that this group of people were really here to look for treasure, and she was even on guard against them.

The only thing she trusted was money.

The other party offered her a price she couldn't refuse, so they took the other party's group on this trip.

After the transaction is completed, each party goes their separate ways.

but...

The other party's identity is indeed questionable. At first, Sivir did not notice the difference in their identities until she discovered that the so-called guards brought by this noble lady had a distinct military atmosphere and a deeply hidden Noxian accent.

A noble lady from Noxus...

Ah.

Xiweier pursed his lips playfully, turned his head and looked at the subordinate who was talking to him, and scolded with a smile: "Go and have a rest, don't bother me. Who knows when this noble lady will set off again. If you don't go and have a rest now, don't come to complain to me when the time comes."

......

"Hey, beautiful lady, we meet again."

Although he said that he would never come to this ancient capital to join in the fun, Ezreal still showed up here. Although his map and some equipment were borrowed by Zhang Xu, Ezreal still arrived here smoothly with his memory of the map.

He even arrived earlier than Zhang Xu who was delayed on the road for a while.

Ezreal, who had just arrived here, quickly saw the Sivir mercenaries who were resting with his outstanding eyesight.

So he avoided all sights and attention and found Sivir.

After meeting Ezreal again after a month or so, Sivir's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and deep in her eyes there was also a hidden joy.

The explorer Ezreal is one of the few friends that Sivir has besides her brothers and sisters in the mercenary group.

Because of her traumatic childhood, Sivir doesn't trust so-called friends or loyalty.

But with Ezreal, she felt that she surprisingly got along well with him.

"Long time no see... but you seem a little disheveled."

Chapter 77 Countdown

Looking at the Ezreal in front of her who was wearing something that looked a bit weird, Sivir blinked and uttered a mocking sound that made Ezreal feel helpless:

"Is your style... a recent trend in Shurima? Or do all the generous gentlemen in Piltover dress like this?"

Ezreal glanced at his current somewhat abstract outfit, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

If it weren’t for that damn Zhang Xu…If it weren’t for that Zhang Xu, would I have ended up like this?

The Tears of the Goddess were stolen, the clothes were stolen, the map was stolen, and the money was stolen!

And he almost killed himself with one punch!

You deserve to die!

Thinking of this, Ezreal suddenly looked around with a guilty conscience.

Zhang Xu shouldn't... appear here, right?

He had memorized the map firmly in his mind and had many years of adventure experience, but even so it still took him a long time to get here.

Even if Zhang Xu took his map, it would be impossible for him to arrive so quickly.

Ezreal curled his lips helplessly, walked to Sivir's side, and sat down at a distance:

"Could this be the ancient capital you're looking for? I've just taken a rough look and it's unlikely that there are any treasures here, unless there are some hidden secret passages or underground caves or something like that."

Hearing this, Xiweier shrugged:

"Who knows? She paid me, and I helped plunder their lost ancient capital of Shurima."

"Heh, plundering the lost ancient capital of Shurima. I want to see how they plan to plunder the ancient capital."

Ezreal frowned.

After the map was stolen, he actually didn't want to come here anymore. But when he thought about what treasures might appear here, Ezreal couldn't restrain his curiosity. He originally wanted to come here to take a look, but now Ezreal has a stronger interest.

Pillaging the lost capital of Shurima... that's a lot of fun.

Ezreal's eyes fell on the noble girl surrounded by a group of Noxian soldiers.

Ezreal had to admit that this was a girl with an extremely outstanding appearance. Her delicate facial features seemed to have been carefully carved by God, and her skin was as white as milk, like a pampered noble lady in Piltover. The fleeting light in her eyes seemed to prove that she was not just a vase with beautiful appearance but no inner qualities.

Compared to the wheat-skinned Sivir who lives in the desert, such a noble girl is more attractive to Ezreal.

As if she had noticed Ezreal's gaze, the noble girl raised her head, revealing her bright face. Her eyes met Ezreal's, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up into a perfect arc.

Then, the noble girl lowered her head shyly as if she was disturbed.

But when she really lowered her head, the smile on her lips gradually turned cold.

A famous explorer?

Cassiopeia had long noticed this explorer who had already traveled to many dangerous places at such a young age - she recognized this explorer as early as the first time he and Sivir met.

It’s a pity that Ezreal seemed to have his own things to do at that time, and soon left their team and left alone.

Because of this, Cassiopeia was disappointed for a while.

This kind of disappointment is not the kind of disappointment that comes from not being able to see your loved one after falling in love at first sight. Cassiopeia is only disappointed because she lacks a capable "assistant".

She still recognized Ezreal's ability of exploration.

If they had Ezreal, their journey might have been easier.

As for what happens afterwards... just kill him.

After her mother's teachings, Cassiopeia became an extremely beautiful, cunning, and intelligent young woman, but she lacked sympathy. In her eyes, everyone around her was a tool to achieve her goals and could be used and discarded.

This is true for Ezreal, and the same is true for Sivir and her mercenaries.

The day they find that tomb... is the day they die!

Cassiopeia raised her head again and looked in the direction they came from.

That direction... is the direction of Noxus.

Mother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to bring back a weapon that can be used immediately and have a decisive influence on the upcoming secret war!

......

"This... is the address of the lost ancient city marked by Ezreal, right?"

Kasa held the map in her hands, rubbing her fingers up and down the map, with a suspicious look on her face:

"Are you sure it's here? Why does it feel like it's not here? The Shurima Empire had thousands of years of glory, after all. This... is too dilapidated, isn't it?"

Taliyah also opened her eyes and shook her head:

"I didn't sense anything unusual here either. There was no surge of magic, and there didn't seem to be any treasures containing energy underground."

Listening to Kassadin and Taliyah's doubts, Zhang Xu was also a little skeptical at first, until he saw a team in his sight.

Although most of these figures gave Zhang Xu a very unfamiliar feeling, Zhang Xu still found two familiar faces.

To be precise, it was a familiar face and a familiar weapon.

Sivir, the master of Ezreal and Charikar!

This is the place they are looking for!

As for why there is no surge of magic or energy here...it's because this place is not a place where treasure is buried!

At their feet, there is a lost tomb of a mysterious ascender. Here, Cassiopeia will be cursed by the stone statue guarding the tomb and become a strange-looking snake woman. Here, Sivir's blood will open a new chapter in Shurima!

When this woman with the last blood of the Shurima royal family flowing in her body falls in the tomb, Azir, who failed in the ascension ceremony a thousand years ago, will be completely awakened, and the entire Shurima will officially usher in a new life!

In other words, the Tsar’s resurrection has entered the countdown.

Zhang Xu began to think seriously.

Now, if he wanted, he could keep everyone out of that underground tomb. As long as Sivir's blood did not soak the land, the Tsar would never be resurrected.

Azir cannot be resurrected, Xerath and Renekton will continue to be locked in a tomb, and even Nasus will not appear on this continent.

Sivir will not face the choice of fate, and Cassiopeia will not become the terrifying embrace of the demon snake.

The fate of the six heroes now lies in Zhang Xu's hands.

But... there's absolutely no reason for him to do that.

Since you want to pursue excitement and decide to come to this lost ancient city, of course you have to pursue the excitement to the end!
