A Fortune in Treasures

In the center of the tomb chamber is a beautiful and grand Crystal Coffin; through the lid, one can even see Nashramae himself. ඏ🍧 ☺👮

She was a classic Shurima beauty, her dazzling attire adding to her elegance and grace.

She still looked the same as when she was young. I knew it was a mannequin because Nasus had told me that Nashramae had failed to ascend and was blown to dust by Solar Energy.

A golden crown, adorned with several emeralds, rested atop the Crystal Coffin. It didn't appear to be a priceless treasure, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of nobility; this must be the Queen's Crown.

I first met Sivir in Sun City, and she was wearing this tiara; it seems she received it around that time.

Could it be that Ezreal also guided her there? To find out the answer, I need to go back to the original timeline.

Sivir took the Queen's Crown and put it on her head, immediately attracting a large crowd of flatterers:

"Chief, this crown is practically made for you!"

Our leader is the Queen!

Sivir ignored their vulgar remarks and simply asked me, "Is it beautiful, Ezreal?"

"It suits you perfectly."

"Haha... I don't want to be a Queen, but this crown really gives me a sense of familiarity, so I've decided not to sell it and will keep it for myself!"

"That's a wise choice!"

From the moment they entered the tomb, the Treasure Hunting Team began to plunder everywhere, quickly emptying the place of all its rare treasures. However, among the twenty-odd people, some took more and some took less. At this moment, someone reached out for the Crystal Coffin.

"Chief, there are even more treasures inside this coffin than outside. Shall we take them all?"

"Of course, why not take it and leave it for someone else?" Sivir didn't care at all; she had no idea that this was her family's ancestral graveyard.

I quickly stopped everyone. "The Crystal Coffin must not be opened, or something bad will happen. There are already enough treasures here for you to squander, aren't you satisfied?"

"An accident? I think you're planning to keep all these treasures for yourself, aren't you?"

"If I wanted to take it all for myself, would you even be able to get in?"

"Stop talking nonsense! You wouldn't be here if it weren't for the leader!"

Seeing that we were arguing, Sivir quickly intervened and still chose to support me:

"Alright, stop arguing. Ezreal is right. If these treasures were converted into gold coins, we could spend them all in several lifetimes. We should leave. I don't feel comfortable here."

"But leader, I only got this much, it's not fair!"

"What do you mean by fair or unfair? First come, first served, no served. Isn't that always our rule?"

At this point, Frodo also came over and offered a word of advice: he had taken the most, so he was quite content.

"Yeah, brother, think positively. If we take less this time, we'll take more next time. There are still dozens of tombs we haven't searched! They're all ours!"

"Alright, since Brother Frodo has put it that way, I'll just have to accept the loss."

On the surface, they said they were taking a loss, but in reality, they were waiting for the next theft. I didn't say much, but I knew I wouldn't let Sivir do it a second time.

It was late at night when we left the tomb. The desert wind was icy and cold. We had brought cloaks, but they had all been used to store treasures.

I tried to concentrate the Flame Wind Force, and found that it actually had some effect, which also alerted Sivir:

"Do you have a fever, Ezreal? You seem a bit feverish."

"No, this is a skill I practiced that can keep me warm."

"Hahaha... This is the first time I've ever heard of a technique for keeping warm. Are you sure you don't have a fever?"

Don't worry.

Back at the camp, we ate something simple and rested. By daybreak, most of the people had left.

Sivir was admiring the Queen's Crown when she saw me wake up and immediately came over:

"I'm getting more and more curious. This crown seems to have some special connection with me. Yesterday I even dreamed of someone who looks a lot like me wearing it."

"Looks like... Shetaka?" I blurted out, still half asleep in the early morning.

"Huh? How did you know!"

"Uh, I just said it offhand, after all, it's her stuff."

"Oh, right, you can't possibly enter my dreams. By the way, what are your plans for today?"

"Are you alright? Do you have any plans?"

"Let's go back to Naremajet and find Xiao Fei and Dona!"

"Good."

At my previous pace, traveling from Sun City to Naremajet would have been a matter of minutes, but now it takes several days of trekking.

Inevitably, I'll be living and eating with Sivir, and she's a very easygoing person who doesn't care about having a man around...

After traveling back and forth like this for more than half a month, we returned to Naremajet again, much faster than planned.

When we arrived in town, Sivir first took me to the biggest jeweler to sell some goods. She brought quite a lot this time, but she only sold a pair of gold bracelets and a pair of earrings, which earned her a full two thousand gold coins!

Even so, he was still not satisfied. "He got off too easy. I think these bracelets are only worth two thousand gold coins."

"It's alright, it was found after all."

"By the way Ezreal, why didn't you take anything? Are you planning to wait until next time?"

"I have no interest in money; the little bag of gold coins you gave me is enough."

"So there are people in the world who don't like money. You must be too young. Once you experience more of its benefits, you'll understand the power of money, haha..."

"What do you need so much money for? To eat roast lamb? To drink Kalamanda red wine?"

Sivir was silent for a moment after hearing my words, then laughed:

"I hadn't really thought about that question. Maybe I just enjoy the process of spending money. I was afraid of living in poverty before, and I don't like the way other people look at me."

"Haha, alright, now it's time to go back and find Xiao Fei siblings, right?"

"No rush, let them play for a few days first. They can take care of themselves anyway. Come on, let's go to the Adventurer's Bar!"

"Where are you going again?"

I have no interest in noisy places, but Sivir misunderstood me. "Are you scared?"

"How is that possible!"

"Let's go then!" Before I could reply, she grabbed my hand and ran off.

This guy is really strong. Maybe it's because Ezreal's body is too light, but I was practically floating in the air.

Adventurer's Bar is as lively as ever, with various performances throughout the day, especially the boxing matches in the evenings.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was evening again, and Sett appeared once more, at almost the same time as last time.

"You're here again, darling. Have you found the treasure yet?"

He immediately hugged Sivir, which was a normal courtesy, but his gaze towards me was full of provocation.

I've already learned my lesson once, so this time I won't confront him head-on. I'll secretly press my finger on the device, and if he dares to take any further action, I'll blow his head off!
