Chapter 291 [0288] Split in Half when We Meet

If you want to find ruins or tombs in the desert, a good guide is naturally indispensable.

A good guide is not only a guide who determines the direction and guides the road, but more importantly, the guide has a better understanding of the local natural and cultural environment and can deal with problems that outsiders cannot deal with.

For Lux and Ino, Karya is their guide. With Karya's guidance and response, they can travel safely even in the desert with extremely harsh natural conditions.

The same is true for Cassiopeia and Iris.

Although Cassiopeia knows where the target is, how to get there and how to deal with problems on the way all require a reliable guide to solve.

The desert can be regarded as full of roads.

But it can also be regarded as no road at all.

From Nashrameh to the legendary tomb of the god who "guarded the ascended Empress Wu", a desert journey of thousands of miles, embarking on the journey without a guide familiar with the desert is like sending your life!

Unfortunately, this journey was too dangerous, so even the experienced people were unwilling to try it easily. In the end, Cassiopeia and Iris had no choice but to follow the instructions of a guide who was unwilling to take on the job, and went to find a broker and contacted the man who claimed that "as long as you pay, you can do anything."

This man's name is Sivir, and his most well-known identity is that he is a mercenary.

……………………

According to the broker's agreement, Cassiopeia and Iris found Sivir in a tavern with gorgeous decorations. When the two came here, the drinkers in the tavern gathered in a circle and were shouting and betting. The objects of the bets were several people in the crowd who were drinking.

This was an asymmetric drinking contest, with only one person on one side and four people on the other side.

The lone person was wearing a light leather armor and had long straight black hair, which was rare in Shurima. She didn't have many scattered decorations on her body, but her forehead guard, wrist guard, shoulder armor, chest armor, belt and other places were all inlaid with dazzling gems.

Cassiopeia roughly estimated that the price of the extremely pure emerald gem inlaid in the middle of her forehead guard alone exceeded three thousand gold double-headed eagles.

This is without considering the historical and cultural value it may have.

In addition to the various gems on her body, her leather armor was also finely outlined with many patterns with gold lines. Although they were all common images in Shurima such as eagles and long snakes, judging from the workmanship and pattern design, it was estimated that it cost a lot of money.

Cassiopeia and Elise looked at each other and understood why the broker said that Sivir was "the richest one who could be seen at a glance, and it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake" - maybe some of the drinkers present were richer than her, but they were definitely not as ostentatious as her.

As for the four people who were drinking with Sivir on the other side...

From their red noses and big bellies, they should be four old drunkards.

Amid the shouts of the surrounding drinkers, Sivir was drinking with a drunkard, one cup after another, and they were fighting hard.

Seeing that Sivir seemed very busy, Cassiopeia and Iris simply stayed aside. While silently observing her words and deeds, they judged the personality characteristics and reliability of this ace mercenary in their hearts.

Unfortunately, after watching for a long time, they did not find any of Sivir's personality characteristics, but they reached a consensus decisively after looking at each other.

In just one hour, Cassiopeia and Iris watched Sivir pour three strong men under the table, and the fourth one also drank seven glasses of wine, and then excused himself to go to the toilet, and then never appeared again.

Although Sivir was also flushed and went to the toilet several times in the middle, this amazing alcohol tolerance still made the two secretly smack their lips.

As nobles of Noxus, Cassiopeia and Iris were once frequent guests at noble banquets, where they were used to seeing talented helpers who specialized in blocking drinkers. But even compared to those people, the one in front of them could only be described as outrageous.

Just as the two were surprised and the audience cheered, Sivir stood up generously, and with the embarrassed but polite smile of the tavern owner, she put away the bag of gold coins she had placed on the bar.

"What a pity, I gave you a chance." The corners of her mouth fell slightly, revealing a smile with obvious sarcasm, "It's a pity that the guys you found are too rotten and cowardly. I'm willing to admit defeat. The wine bill between us is written off!"

Hearing this, the tavern owner's face was quite ugly. He wanted to speak several times - but in the end he could only nod dejectedly, then took out his account book and scribbled it like a vent.

Sivir watched her name being crossed out, not caring at all about the malicious intent of the tavern owner using a red pen to cross it out, and finally laughed like a silver bell.

She raised her head, like a victorious rooster, turned around and left the bar, and then went directly into the crowd of people who had just placed bets.

"Did you make a lot of money?" Sivir found the guy who opened the market, and put her strong arm directly on his shoulder, "Today, I am drinking happily and in a good mood. I don't care how much you bet, but the part of the rake, we will share half when we meet!"

As she said, she opened the purse she had just taken back, spread it in front of her, and looked at the guy in front of her who opened the market with her name, with a smile.

Facing Sivir opening the money bag in front of him, the other party's expression was a bit uncomfortable - although the odds are dynamically calculated, he can earn money no matter Sivir wins or loses, but the gold coins he just got will be met soon. Split in half?

He wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to speak to Sivir no matter what - in the end, he could only obediently take out his profits and pour half of the gold coins into Sivir's purse.

Sivir picked up the money bag, weighed it in his hand, then nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking to this guy.

Then, she hung the money bag on her waist, looked around the crowd, and walked straight to Cassiopeia and Elise's table.

"Are you the one with the big job in hand?" Sivir sat carelessly on a chair next to him, his straight and slender legs crossed on the table, "He should have told you about my rules. Right? 50-50 split, no conditions."

"I said it." Cassiopeia smiled, "But 50/50 is not a small price, and I don't know if you are worth it."

"Oh? Is it worth it?" Sivir raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a sexy blush appeared on his light brown skin. "It's really interesting. Is there anyone in Naslam who wants to try my cross blade?"

"Just to be on the safe side." Cassiopeia continued to smile, "Believe me, this is a big deal - and if it goes well, there may be more than one."

Kalya’s small class and meeting are divided into half:

Sivir is an ace mercenary with a success rate of nearly 100% in the Nashrame mission, but if there is another possibility, few people are willing to hire Sivir to work - because Sivir's principle of charging fees is too simple and crude, no matter it is All tasks are divided in half when we meet.
