Chapter 338 [0335] Descent in the Middle of the Night

Sivir told a classic Shurima joke, but unfortunately, after she finished, the stone box did not move at all, without any reaction.

"What a joke!" Everyone else was laughing in a low voice, but the folklorist glared at Sivir with dissatisfaction, "They say this is an early tomb of ancient Shurima. Your joke is too new, how can it be useful?!"

Hearing what the other party said, Sivir was stunned. She blinked her eyes, and after thinking carefully, she found that the other party seemed to be completely right...

If the tomb is much earlier than the collapse of the Shurima Empire, then the owner of the tomb would definitely not understand the joke of Xerath betraying Azir.

However, this does not mean that Sivir can accept criticism calmly. She glared back fiercely, and then showed a bad smile: "Okay, then you tell one!"

The folklorist cleared his throat, then took out a dictionary-like thing from his backpack, and quickly flipped through it while uttering some syllables that sounded a little weird to others.

Cassiopeia approached with some curiosity, only to find that she could recognize almost every word in the dictionary, but she couldn't understand the pronunciation marked in the common language at all.

"What is this?" She asked curiously, "Isn't this how Shurima is used?"

"This is the pronunciation of ancient Shurima!" The folklorist continued to mutter, and reluctantly answered, "If you want to open this box, you must tell jokes in ancient Shurima!"

Hearing him say this, everyone showed a look of surprise - yes, since the time of this tomb may be earlier than the collapse of the Shurima Empire, it means that when the tomb was built, the language of Shurima was still ancient Shurima!

Although the Shurima script has not changed much over the past thousands of years, the meaning and pronunciation of the script have undergone earth-shaking changes with the collapse of the empire and the fusion of cultures.

It can be said that ancient Shurima and the current Shurima use almost the same script, but the grammatical details and speaking habits are already very different.

In this case, if you really tell a joke according to the requirements on the stone box, you should use the ancient Shuriman language.

After figuring this out, everyone showed an expression of "See, this is professionalism".

And noticing this look, the folklorist also subconsciously straightened his chest, showing a bit of reserved pride that is unique to professionals.

A quarter of an hour later, he finally prepared his joke, cleared his throat, and told a very popular joke in the ancient Shuriman language to the stone box.

However, it is a pity that this ordinary joke, told in this "professional" way, has lost its funny core and seems awkward.

The result is that the stone box is still motionless and has no reaction.

The atmosphere became awkward again.

The moment before, everyone was silently praising this "professional" in their hearts, and the next moment, everyone looked contemptuous and began to rush to tell all kinds of jokes.

At first, everyone wanted to tell some jokes that were funny at any time and did not involve the era or society, but later, seeing that the stone box did not react at all, the style of the jokes began to deviate.

Sarcastic, metaphorical, and colored jokes...

Various jokes were told in turn, trying to open the stone box, but no matter what they said, the box did not move and did not react.

As night fell, the people who had been telling jokes for an afternoon finally became dry-mouthed and could not continue. After getting together to study, they finally decided not to care about it. Tomorrow, they would just find a rope and drag the whole stone box away!

Although the weight of this stone box is at least more than ten tons, considering that the road from here to Nashiram is all sandy, as long as it is tied tightly with ropes, it can be dragged back by force!

Now, let's take a break. These dirty jokes did not open the stone box, but made many people laugh foolishly for an afternoon. At this time, they realized that laughing too much is also a very tiring thing.

……………………

The night was dark.

Although it had been confirmed that this tomb should be safe, for the sake of safety, everyone chose to rest in the tent in the valley.

What if there were any time-related mechanisms or traps in this tomb?

When the snoring sounded one after another, the mercenary who had laughed all afternoon rubbed his belly and fell asleep at the entrance of the tomb, and a rope quietly hung down from the cliff above the cliff and close to the cliff.

Kassadin and Ezreal, who had been lurking for a long time, finally started to act.

At this time, both Kassadin and Ezreal were very anxious.

Although they reacted immediately when the stone wall outside the cliff was blown up this afternoon, they were not in a hurry at that time - because under normal circumstances, it would take at least several days to find the entrance of the tomb or the ruins, and then enter the main ruins core or the master tomb.

Especially for this kind of high-end tomb, how can it be so easy to get in?

Therefore, both of them thought of letting these people explore first, and then they would sit back and reap the benefits after they found some ways and destroyed most of the traps.

However, what they didn't expect was that the team's exploration speed was so fast that they entered the main tomb chamber not long after!

In this case, Kassadin and Ezreal were a little dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that the only thing difficult to break through in this barren hill tomb was the outer stone wall, and there was no defense inside the tomb at all!

But no matter how anxious the two were, after all, the expedition team below was large in number and had professional mercenary guards, so they could only hide in the mountains honestly and keep an eye on the situation inside the tomb.

What surprised them was that when these people came out at night, they were almost empty-handed - except for some people holding a few small statues like treasures, everyone else had nothing in their hands and seemed to have found nothing.

After discovering this, Kassadin and Ezreal looked at each other and made a tacit decision.

Take advantage of the late night to sneak in and take a look!

"Don't you have a special spell to open the door?" Kassadin was rarely excited, "That may be the key!"

Just like that, after most of the expedition team rested, Kassadin and Ezreal finally took action.

Kalya's Little Classroom: Shurima-style Dirty Jokes:

Because of the large number of wives and concubines, the astonishing number of offspring, and the fact that he was not picky about meat and vegetables, the last desert emperor Azir would appear as the protagonist or supporting role in many colorful stories. In a sense, he also lowered the reputation of the Shurima royal family by his own efforts.
