This is an illustration of the imperial tomb of the Shurima Empire, but the entrance is not nearby.💣ඏ 69Şђu 🔥♦

Following the structural diagram, we spent quite a while locating the entrance before finally finding its approximate location.

This energized everyone, and they started digging a tunnel, quickly creating an entrance.

Sivir turned on the searchlight, intending to lead the way down, but I stopped her.

"You're the leader, you can't always take the risks yourself. Let those who just gave up go first!"

I looked at Frodo, who was both ashamed and angry, his face flushed. "Hmph, fine, I'll go first then!"

Led by him, we entered the passage one after another, and that's when I discovered the murals on the walls.

These murals conceal the visions of the Ascended, which I experienced firsthand, but which I can no longer access now.

I also know that many secrets are hidden here, such as those of Khopesh, Renekton, and Xerath.

Of course, we can't let them out now, or we'll all die here.

"Why do these murals look so familiar?" Sivir sensed something was amiss.

"You've explored so many places, you've probably seen similar murals!" I offered a casual explanation.

We turned left and right in the passage, and after walking for a few minutes, we found that the end was a dead end.

Frodo, seeing this, seemed somewhat gloating, as if the trip had nothing to do with him:

"In the end, there was still no way out. Maybe these murals are the treasure Sett was talking about, hahaha..."

I've been here once and know what it's like. "There's a large door behind the stone wall; you can see it after you carve it open."

Frodo didn't believe him. "What do you know, you little blondie! The ground here isn't solid; if you break down the stone wall, we'll be buried alive!"

"Do as Ezreal says!"

Sivir gave the order, and the people had no choice but to start. They carefully smashed away for a long time until golden light finally appeared behind the stone wall!

When they were first chiseling the rock face, everyone was very careful, fearing that the top would collapse. But after discovering the Golden Light, they worked even harder than before, truly showing that people would die for wealth.

Of course, I couldn't let them completely chisel open the stone wall, otherwise they would be eroded by the tomb's energy, leading to their death!

Only those of royal blood or those Ascended Power can safely open the door behind the stone wall.

"Alright everyone, stop. Leave the rest to Sivir; let her break through the remaining stone wall."

"You make us do all the hard and tiring work, but now that you've discovered treasure, you're telling us to stop? You and the leader must have a really good relationship!"

Frodo spoke for everyone, and they all looked at me with resentment.

Now look what's happened! My good intentions have been taken for granted. I guess whatever I say will be used as an excuse.

Sivir also felt this was going too far. "Don't do this, Ezreal. They're all my brothers. I might be saying things that aren't very nice, but I can't do this."

"I'm doing this for their own good, just you wait and see!"

Not long after I said that, the accident happened.

As the stone wall was carved open, a Golden Gate was revealed behind it, with a sun pattern carved in the center and complex ancient incantations written all around.

Just as the men who had chiseled through the rock wall were about to push open the gate, they suddenly collapsed to the ground, startling the rest of the men who quickly retreated.

Frodo was also quite startled. "What happened? Hey, are you guys alright?"

"They're dead. I told you to let Sivir finish the rest of the work, but you wouldn't listen."

You want to get our leader killed!

Upon hearing this, people turned hostile, and even Sivir was puzzled. "What's going on, Ezreal? Do you know something?"

"They are too weak; only someone as strong as you can withstand the power of the curse."

How did you come to the conclusion that I'm more powerful?

"Since you're the leader, you must have something special about you. I think it's fine."

Sivir stared into my eyes, just as she had when we first met, as if she could see through my lies.

After a moment, her expression softened. "Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Sivir cautiously approached the Golden Gate, taking each step with caution, and upon reaching it, she found herself indeed unharmed.

She turned back and gave us a reassuring gesture. "Don't worry, I'm fine, but how am I supposed to open such a big door?"

At this point, Frodo and the others fell silent, for they dared not approach.

Of course, I didn't dare go closer. "Cut a small wound on your finger, then drip a few drops of blood onto the door."

My blood?

"Give it a try, after all, you're the only one who can get close right now."

"All right."

As I instructed, Sivir cut her finger and dripped a few drops of blood. The light on the door instantly intensified, and then it slowly opened!

The Treasure Hunting Team was speechless with surprise. I ignored them and followed Sivir into the Imperial Tomb.

Seeing that I was alright, the others gradually followed.

There are many tombs here, and I don't know where Renekton and Xerath are.

However, they were sealed away on the day Azir ascended to heaven, so they should be in his tomb. Hopefully, Sivir will recognize them.

Do you know the Ancient Shurima script?

"I know some of them, so what?"

"When we get to Azir's tomb, whatever you do, don't go in, or we'll die here."

How do you know so Ezreal?

"I heard it from my father; he was a great explorer."

"Look, the Azir is written on the door behind you."

I was startled when I heard this and quickly moved away, as did everyone else.

They looked down on me at first, but now they believe everything I say, which is great.

"Then see if there's anyone named Nashramae nearby. The Queen's Crown you're looking for should be there."

"It's right next to us. I know Azir; he was the last emperor of the Shurima Empire. And who is Nashramae?"

"She is his sister, the last Queen of the Shurima Empire."

I used the Hextech Device to probe Nashramae's tomb and found no special danger warnings before opening the door to go inside.

At this moment, Sivir grabbed me. "Let's go into Ezreal later. The air in these long-sealed tombs isn't very clean, and I'm afraid there might be something strange inside."

"Don't worry, it's very clean inside. My device will display all danger information; it only showed dust."

As I said, the tomb chamber was very clean, with not even a thick layer of dust. The space was very spacious, and our group of about twenty people didn't feel crowded at all.

The murals around the room depict the great achievements of Nashramae's life, and all the decorations are made of pure gold. Some of them were originally engraved with magical runes, but they have probably become ineffective due to their age.
