Chapter 186 The Secret is Sharper than a Blade

The next scene is exactly the scene that the audience has seen before through Sivir's perspective.

Only this time, it was from Cassiopeia's perspective.

After discovering the Tomb of the Shurima King and reaching its door, she immediately knew that the power she was looking for was behind that door. She attempted to kill all witnesses of the expedition and then take the power for herself.

The guide Sivir was the first to fall under Cassiopeia's knife, but then the magic trap was triggered, and the huge stone guard in the tomb stood up and stabbed its fangs into Cassiopeia's flesh.

The sudden change meant the failure of Cassiopeia's mission, but this was not the cruelest thing for her.

The mystical poison from ancient times completely conquered her body, and Cassiopeia could only hope to be detoxified after returning home. With the help of her men, she crossed the desert and returned home.

Along the way, she screamed, her body twisted into something new and unspeakable...

Cassiopeia locked herself in the abandoned cellar of Uzeris's residence and endured the excruciating pain of the transformation process.

She was lucky to save her life, but she did not completely eliminate the secret method of this poison, and it completely transformed her body.

When these toxins from ancient times merged into her body, the intelligent and beautiful Soleanna, the daughter of Duke Cao, no longer existed. Instead, she was replaced by a strange-looking, winding and cunning creature. Under the effect of the venom, she turned into a predator in the shape of a venomous snake, hiding in the dark, spitting out highly toxic substances, and breaking boulders like breaking a glass.

Cassiopeia cried for weeks, mourning the life she had lost... until one day she couldn't cry anymore.

She pulled herself out of the depths of despair, determined to accept—and perhaps one day embrace—her fate.

It was not the ascension she had hoped for, but Cassiopeia still discovered the long-lost magic of the gods of Shurima.

She would use this power in her plan for the Black Rose, just as her mother had originally planned, and she could feel it growing within her.

She herself couldn't guess what this power would eventually become.

……

——"What the hell!! Has she turned into... a beautiful snake?"

——"Brothers, I can really do this!"

——"Are you still okay? If I bite you, you'll be gone!"

——"Please tell me in detail, how do you bite it?"

——"Be serious, this character is a bit like Medusa!"

——"It can be said that this was a blessing in disguise for Cassiopeia."

——"She can't be considered an ascender, but she still has a little bit of the power to ascend, right?"

Cassiopeia's transformed form is half human, half snake, and she does have the legendary ability to turn people to stone, just like Medusa.

Like the Ascended of Shurima whose bodies were reshaped by the power of Ascension, she was no longer mortal.

This little easter egg was something the audience had not expected. The return of the Shurima Emperor would actually be related to Swain's coup in Noxus.

The flapping of a tiny butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the earth, let alone the large group of crows summoned by Swain?
And Swain decided to return to Noxus to overthrow the emperor and crush the Black Rose's conspiracy because of Noxus' defeat in the war against Ionia and betrayal by the Black Rose!

In this way, these three major areas can be connected as a whole, which gives the audience a sense of novelty that the characters in the film are living in the same world!
There may be a connection between each of them!

If Swain hadn't launched a coup, Cassiopeia wouldn't have been sent by her mother to find the Tomb of the Kings of Shurima! In this way, even if the Shurima mercenary team found the tomb, even if it was Sivir who opened the tomb, without her blood staining the sand, Azir would not be resurrected.

However, when it comes to the connection between these areas, there is actually another heroic figure who can also link Ionia and Shurima.

And this has to do with the Darkin sealed in the weapons!

……

When the big screen turned from dark to bright again, the camera had already appeared in Ionia.

“This should be another Easter egg.”

The audience immediately guessed that these short stories were included to supplement the Shurima plot.

Looking at the peaceful and tranquil temple on the screen, the audience has a natural sense of familiarity with Ionia. However, as the camera rises, it is discovered that not far from the temple, a war is taking place.

"This is during the war between Noxus and Ionia!"

During the commentary program, Jiang Wen recognized the scene at a glance.

The war between these two regions can be called a major event, and its impact on the plot can be compared to the Darkin War and the Void Invasion.

Although after seeing the wars between the void monsters, the god warriors, and the Protoss, the war between Noxus and Ionia can only be regarded as a war between mortals.

However, there also emerged heroes who were able to harness the power of magical elements. Their strength was no weaker than those demigods or protoss!

Unfortunately, however, the Ionian warriors who were resisting the Noxian invaders far away from the temple were not among them.

In order to protect their hometown, they are risking their lives. Even the two bravest monster hunters in the team, Valmao and Kai, the spiritual partner, do not have the power to stop the enemy alone.

Although they were courageous and repelled the invading enemy, Kai was fatally wounded and his soul was about to return to the spiritual realm.

Valmo was extremely sad. They had fought side by side for many years, and he would not let his companion die like this!
At this moment, after being reminded by others, he thought of the Temple of Pallas not far from the battlefield!

In this temple, there is a magic well.

According to legend, this was built by Vastaya a thousand years ago, and this temple was specially built on the well to protect this magic well!

It is said that it contains endless magic power, and even after thousands of years, the magic power in the well has not dried up!

So the grief-stricken Valmao carried his companions into the temple, hoping that the forbidden magic in the well could save Kay's life.

……

However, when seeing Valmao finally decide to enter the temple with his companions on the big screen, the audience in front of the screen all had a bad feeling!

They were getting closer and closer to the temple, but the noise around them was getting quieter and quieter.

Not to mention the chirping of birds and animals, it seems that even insects are very rare in this plateau jungle!
The legend is not wrong, this is indeed a magic well!
Valmao also noticed this, and he quickened his pace with Kai on his back. However, as he approached the temple, it seemed that even the land here had changed color due to the influence of magic.

When they entered the temple, they finally saw the well!
