The Tomb Falls into Chaos

The Noxus woman was displeased to see the wall in front of her, and she questioned Sivir:

"This is the Imperial Tomb you were talking about? It's clearly a dead end!"

"Don't worry, boss. To protect the tomb, tomb designers often build many fake passages that lead people into dead ends. But these seemingly dead-end passages are often the correct paths. ♬💢 💘♧"

"Then prove it with your actions. I don't like empty words."

"No problem, but you need to pay a deposit first. Our dagger treasure Treasure Hunting Team never does anything for nothing."

"I'll pay when I see the tomb gate, not now."

This is the gate!

After speaking, Sivir asked one of his men for a chisel and struck the stone wall several times with great force. Soon after, a golden light appeared behind it.

The Noxus woman remained unconvinced and insisted on seeing the complete gate. Sivir had no choice but to comply and ordered her men to get to work.

It seems she's not just here to search for treasure, but also to earn commissions by bringing outsiders along. Since she's been making concessions repeatedly, the Noxus woman must be offering a lot of commissions.

It took the group quite a while to break through the stone wall, revealing a Golden Light door behind it. Just then, my Project Armor sounded an alarm:

The gate is shrouded in a powerful curse!

Before I could even warn them, the five people at the front collapsed, startling the others who quickly retreated.

The Noxus woman didn't show any fear; instead, she seemed somewhat gloating.

"Your professionalism makes me question whether we should reconsider our collaboration."

"No need to think about it. You must cooperate with me, or your corpse will do."

Sivir was furious; she wouldn't allow anyone to mock her at this moment, and the Noxus woman wouldn't back down either.

"The Noxus aren't easily intimidated. I won't pay you until you demonstrate sufficient strength. Of course, if you open this door, I'll double your commission, as a token of my condolences to the deceased."

"Where's your money? Let me see it first."

"Open."

The Noxus woman gave her men a word, and they immediately opened two large chests filled with gold coins and jewels.

Is that enough?

"Enough!"

Sivir was extremely fond of money, and her eyes lit up when she saw so much wealth.

I searched the database and found relevant information, but it was very brief:

The Shurima Imperial Tomb are the final resting place of dozens of emperors from the ancient Shurima Empire.

According to legend, most of these tombs contained no remains, because more than half of the emperors died upon ascending to heaven and were eventually reduced to ashes.

The exact location is unknown. Tomb raiders once infiltrated the area but were killed by powerful cursed magic. It is one of the most dangerous places in Runeterra.

Solution: Blood of Ascended or Royal Blood.

Special Note: It is currently known that the royal bloodline is extinct and the Ascended have perished, therefore the method of breaking the curse is invalid.

The most dangerous place in Runeterra, I can't let Sivir risk that. I was about to go and stop her when the passage suddenly trembled!

People were in a panic, and at that moment, Sivir rammed into the door!

But she didn't fall; instead, the door was opened!

As the gate opened, the tremors stopped. Sivir turned to look at the Noxus woman, her face filled with rage.

Why did you push me just now?

I see you're hesitant, and I'd like to lend you a hand.

"Help me out? You almost got me killed!"

"Don't worry about these things anymore, these treasures are yours."

"Hmph, don't think you can just let this go. You walk ahead, but I can't leave my back to you!"

"Alright, I'll lead the way then."

After speaking, the Noxus woman walked into the tomb without hesitation, feeling not fear but rather anticipation.

After she went inside, Sivir signaled her men to prepare to follow. Before going in, she paused for a moment, seemingly puzzled as to why she was able to open the door.

I've already checked the information; only those of royal blood and Ascended can open this gate. Sivir is clearly not Ascended, so is she of Shurima royal blood?

I don't know what happened, but after they all went inside, I quietly followed them.

The tomb has many passages, and at first glance it looks like a maze. I used a GPS system to check their location and found that they were in a burial chamber not far away.

Just as I was about to approach, I suddenly heard several screams. Someone had been killed!

I quickly moved there after determining the route, and saw the Noxus woman holding a Golden Light Khopesh. She had killed everyone except Sivir!

The two were surprised by my arrival, but the Noxus woman quickly regained her composure, while Sivir was very nervous, glaring fiercely at the woman.

"That despicable bastard! He planned to murder me all along!"

"No, no, no, I did want to kill you, but this person is not one of my allies."

"Demacia and Noxus have now joined forces, and you still say you're not allies!"

Believe it or not, maybe we have the same goal, but in any case, you're not going to survive!

After the woman finished speaking, she brandished her Khopesh, intending to kill her to silence her. Sivir a highly skilled fighter, but she was somewhat powerless against the powerful Khopesh.

At this moment, I activated the [Ion Spark Sprayer] and blocked the woman's attack:

"Stop! Sivir kindly helped you enter the tomb, why are you trying to harm her!"

"Oh? You, a Demacia, are trying to stop me? Don't you understand the current situation?"

"Don't change the subject, this has nothing to do with where I'm from!"

"Of course it's relevant! The kingdoms of Denver and Nova are on the verge of destruction, and I must use this legendary artifact to vanquish the Piltover monsters!"

I was initially very angry, but I vented my anger after hearing what the woman said.

She did this to find an artifact to fight Camille, so our goals are actually quite similar.

"You can take the artifact, but you cannot harm Sivir."

"Why are you protecting her? If I release her, countless Shurima will hunt me down, which will delay important matters!"

"You can go now, I guarantee your safety."

"Heh... you must have misunderstood. I don't need you to guarantee my safety. I only said a few more words because I don't want to see you die here. Get out of here, or I'll kill you too!"

"Don't push me..."

"So long-winded!"

Before I could finish speaking, the woman attacked. This time, she showed no mercy and intended to kill both me and Sivir.

Of course I wouldn't let her succeed, nor did I believe her words. Camille's strength was far beyond what a single weapon could destroy.

Now Sivir was relieved. She knew I wasn't an ally of the Noxus woman, so she joined forces with me to deal with her!
