Chapter 182: Cassiopeia in the Serpent's Embrace
"Noxian!"
"Why did they come to Shurima?"
When the audience saw the scene in which Cassiopeia led an expedition team composed of soldiers loyal to the Duke's family, they never thought that Azir's resurrection and the return of the sun disc would be related to the Noxians.
Judging from the big screen alone, Cassiopeia is a smart and beautiful daughter of a noble family. They hired Sivir, who was very famous in the Shurima region at that time, as their guide and mercenary.
This Noxian expedition team announced that their purpose was to find the lost capital of the ancient Shurima Empire, but in fact they were looking for something else - the secret of the ancient Shurima Empire's dominance over the world!
In the Noxian library, after flipping through tome after tome that recorded the power buried beneath the sands of Shurima, Cassiopeia was sure she had found the key.
And this thing is buried in the ruins of the ancient capital of the Shurima Empire!
"This Cassiopeia is pretty. I have a new wife!"
The viewer who posted this comment did not know that his "wife" was about to become another species.
The rest of the audience were speculating on why Cassiopeia came to look for this hidden treasure.
It seems that no matter what era, any empire wants to conquer the entire world. From this perspective, the Noxians' desire to find the ancient Shurima's solar ruins may be to rule the entire continent like the Shurima Empire.
However, the audience still remembers the story of Noxian leader Swain. Perhaps this Noxian expedition team is also involved in a coup in the empire!
Sivir might have guessed it vaguely, but mercenaries don’t need to worry about so much. Just pay the money and the mercenaries will do things for you!
What's more, she was also deeply interested in the tombs of the emperors of the ancient Shurima Empire. There must be many treasures buried in them!
So Sivir led her mercenary group and the Noxian expedition team into the ruins of the Shurima Empire buried in the yellow sand.
Sivir thought this was just another ordinary treasure hunt, but she didn't expect it would be the most dangerous adventure she had ever experienced.
They found the ruins of the ancient capital of the Shurima Empire and explored many tombs, unearthed many precious treasures from the yellow sand.
The mercenaries were all exclaiming that they had made a fortune this time, but the Noxian leader Cassiopeia was not interested in any of this and just urged the mercenaries to continue searching for the tombs of the emperors of the Shurima Empire.
And finally, they found it!
The traps in this tomb were unlike anything they had ever seen. As they continued to go deeper into the twisted tomb, even Sivir's experienced mercenary companions were killed by the deadly traps, and the Noxian expedition team also suffered heavy losses.
However, this noble lady turned a blind eye to the heavy casualties. She asked the mercenaries to continue exploring ahead and not allow retreat.
This tomb passage was almost built with human lives, but Cassiopeia became more and more excited. She knew that what she was looking for must be here!
At the end of the tomb passage, they finally found a huge tomb door with ancient patterns carved on it, surrounded by sculptured guards and reliefs of ancient god warriors.
At this moment, Sivir felt his blood boiling.
This was a secret that no one had ever seen before. She was fascinated, staring in fascination at the reliefs depicting the animal-headed heroes fighting against the evil creatures underground.
But at this moment, the cold blade pierced into her body. Cassiopeia seized the opportunity when Sivir was distracted and stabbed her in the back.
……
——"What the hell!! Are you going to do something dirty so soon?"
——"Damn, I knew this guy had bad intentions!"——"Sure enough, the prettier the woman, the more ruthless he is!"
——"The tomb door hasn't even been opened yet, and you're stabbing me?"
Although the audience could almost guess that this noble lady from Noxus had bad intentions, they were still shocked when Sivir fell.
In fact, Sivir had been on guard against Cassiopeia, but the ancient reliefs and murals in front of her fascinated her and distracted her for a moment.
And the audience who had already watched the follow-up now understood how the huge scar on Sivir's body came about!
If Talia hadn't appeared, not even the Fountain of Life could have saved her.
……
Sivir collapsed in agony, her blood soaking the sand.
It was only then that she realized the real reason why Cassiopeia hired her. This noble lady from Noxus was far more sinister than she had imagined.
I'm afraid she has already known that the key to open this emperor's tomb is the cross weapon in Sivir's hand!
However, she has kept it secret until now, no wonder she would take action at this time!
Sivir's mercenary group was caught off guard and was poisoned to death by Cassiopeia's men.
Sivir felt her strength disappearing bit by bit, and could only watch as Cassiopeia picked up Charikar and unlocked the tomb door.
Cassiopeia pushed open the tomb door excitedly. She was about to get the power she had always been looking for!
With this kind of power, we can overthrow Swain's rule and replace him with the Black Rose!
However, in the end, the noble lady was still one step behind. In her excitement, she did not expect that there was still an ancient magic curse on the tomb door that had been opened by Charikar, and it had not yet expired!
Near death, Sivir saw the stone python in the tomb come to life, sink its fangs into her flesh, and burn Cassiopeia's skin with its venom.
Cassiopeia panicked and was led out of the tomb by her men.
After seeing this, Shiver gradually lost consciousness.
The last sound she heard before she lost consciousness was the roar of several crazy gods who were released from the ancient tomb and walked the world again...
The unconscious Sivir did not see the gods who emerged from the ancient tomb, but the audience knew very well that they were none other than Renekton and Xerath who had been imprisoned in the tomb for a thousand years!
The crazy crocodile god roared and rushed out of the tomb door, followed closely by a ball of glowing energy!
After regaining their freedom, they ignored the unconscious Sivir, or maybe they mistook Sivir for a corpse!
When they left, the ancient tomb was empty.
If nothing unexpected happens, the unconscious Sivir will meet her death here.
But it seems that Sivir's fate is not over yet.
She herself didn't know that in her blood she carried the last trace of the ancient royal bloodline.
And this blood soaked into the yellow sand, linking her to the fate of her deceased ancestors.
As Sivir's blood drips onto the scorching yellow sand, what she is about to discover will overturn her understanding - and the course of history.
