Chapter 384 The Emperor's Tomb Under the Desert

Goddess of War Sivir!

Taliyah was not unfamiliar with this name. She often heard some travelers talk about it after she entered the Shurima continent.

Sivir had won countless battles. As long as the employer could pay, she would win.

In fact, when Taliyah saw the legendary cross-shaped weapon in the desert of Vikora, she had already guessed it.

Before Taliyah could speak, the sound of "booming" continued to come from outside.

The distance was very close, maybe another street would be enough to reach this abandoned house.

"Are they coming?"

Sivir pursed her bloodless lips, looked around at the trembling Vikora people, and asked in a low voice.

"Those rebels."

"Did you hear it?" Taliyah looked at Sivir curiously.

"Of course, it sounds like the screams of people before they die." Sivir nodded slightly.

"Then how should we prepare to escape from here!"

Taliya looked at the luggage in the corner, thinking about how long it would take to escape from Vikora.

After hearing this, Sivir tried to bend her legs and wanted to stand up, but she was too injured to stand up.

She groaned in pain, and cold sweat soaked her forehead and eyebrows, dripping down her cheeks and armor.

Taliya looked over and saw Sivir's pale face, with a helpless look.

"It seems that it will be difficult for us to leave Vikora now."

Click!

The tightly closed heavy wooden door was opened from the outside under the destruction of some special force, bringing a rusty smell.

Nasus walked in slowly with a long-handled battle axe, hunched over.

As soon as he came in, he immediately smelled different smells of blood and sweat.

There was a smell belonging to ordinary people, a smell belonging to young extraordinary people, and a soul that was so ancient.

It was like an old friend who had walked shoulder to shoulder with him under the same sun.

Nasus's eyes moved, passing over the gathered Vikora people who were whispering their names.

Then he found his target in the corner of the abandoned house.

A person was wearing a bright red coat, and judging by the style, he should be from a country beyond the eastern sea.

He had seen this girl earlier on the streets of Keneser and felt her fear, but also her determination.

However, Nasus was more interested in the companion the girl had traveled with, a legendary strongman from the Noxus Empire that he was quite afraid of.

The girl raised her eyes and noticed Nasus's gaze. She immediately stretched out her hands and drew lines back and forth on her chest, as if weaving natural magic belonging to rocks.

The yellow sand ground trembled, and the stones danced under her feet, poking their heads out from under the sand.

Behind her, Nasus saw a woman struggling to stand up with her hands on the peeling wall.

Her top was soaked in blood red, a terrible wound, but not fatal.

"I am Nasus, the keeper of the desert." Nasus said in a deep voice.

Judging from the reaction in the injured woman's eyes, he should have guessed his identity long ago.

The name of Nasus has left too many traces in the Shurima continent.

Taliyah opened her mouth in surprise, but she did not move.

"Get out of the way!" Nasus walked past, and his tall figure cast a shadow like a mountain.

"No, you can't, I promised." Taliyah still insisted.

Nasus turned the axe, hung it on his back, and took a step forward.

Taliyah retreated to the corner, still guarding in front of Sivir, and the ground at her feet immediately rippled.

Stones rose from the ground, like pieces of plaster falling from the wall.

Terrible cracks appeared in the wall and quickly climbed up the remaining roof.

When Nasus was still a mortal, he had seen similar abilities, and that time he almost lost his life.

The injured Sivir stared at Taliyah in shock, obviously she had no idea of ​​her companion's power.

"Your ability can break the stone of Shurima." Nasus said.

Taliyah raised an eyebrow and replied in a serious tone: "That's right, so you'd better stay away, otherwise I can break more than just stone."

"Haha!"

Nasus ignored the tense atmosphere and seemed to be amused by Taliyah's bluffing.

"You have a hero's heart, but you're not the one I'm looking for."

"Your magic is powerful, so if I were you, I would run as far as possible before Xerath blows this place up."

Taliyah refused to retreat and stood in front of Sivir.

"I'm not going anywhere. I promised to protect Sivir, and the Weaver Mother hates to break her promise."

"If you want to protect her, then you have to understand that I have no intention of harming her."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I'm here to save her."

The bandaged Sivir limped on one foot and moved to Taliyah's side.

Although she was obviously in great pain, Nasus was still surprised by her will.

It was just that he underestimated it. The blood of ancient Shurima has always been like this.

"Who is Xerath?"

Sivir met Taliyah's eyes, turned to look at Nasus and asked.

Her body, in front of Nasus, was like a small girl, petite and cute.

Nasus frowned slightly when he heard this. Have the Shurimans now forgotten the history of the empire's fall?

But he still answered.

"An evil witch who knows everything about your life."

Sivir nodded slowly, thinking, then turned to Taliyah, stretched out a calloused hand and placed it on the girl's shoulder.

"I owe you a life, but I never owe you a debt. So just consider your promise fulfilled, and I'll do it myself from now on."

Taliyah's expression was obviously much more relaxed, but she still hesitated.

"I appreciate it, but you can hardly walk. At least let me take you out of the city."

"Deal!" Sivir said with evil.

Then she turned back to face Nasus, who always remained patient with her, waved her hand, and showed the golden cross blade that shone with cold light, with an emerald gem in the center.

Ordinary mortals can't wield this weapon easily, but she held it firmly in her hand.

"Too many strangers have tried to save me lately. But they always want something in return. So, big guy, tell me honestly, what do you want?"

"I want you to live."

"Then I can live without your help."

"That's not what your wounds say. You've..."

"What are you talking about?" Sivir interrupted Nasus.

"Some idiots in the desert don't like being rejected, so they left this as a reservation."

"Believe me, I've had worse experiences but I survived. I don't need any protection. It seems that God has always taken care of me, no matter what I do."

Nasus shook his head. Sivir has been far away from the teachings of the Shurima royal family. How superficial is her understanding of fate.

"The future is not a scripture engraved on a stone tablet, but a river with many tributaries, whose riverbed may suddenly change at any moment."

"Even those whose destiny has long been written between the stars will find changes after letting it go, just like the water of life flowing into a dry dead land."

He pointed at Sivir's weapon and asked softly: "Do you know who that knife once belonged to?"

"Who cares? It's my partner now." Sivir answered indifferently.

"That's Charikar, its former owner, whose taboo name is Setaka, she is the first war queen of the Ascended Lord.

"You have to know what this meant in the past. I gloriously accompanied Setaka in battle for three centuries."

"Her exploits have become legendary, but I don't think you know her name."

"The dead are easy to pass away. "Sivir shrugged.

Nasus ignored Sivir's cold contempt for his sister in war and continued.

"A desert practitioner once told Setaka that one day, a king from Shurima would rule the world."

"These words made her think she was invincible, because we are the ones who conquer the world. However, she was knocked down by the monsters on the eve of the end of Icathia."

"I held her and watched her light go out little by little, and finally I sent her to sleep in the yellow sand. Her weapon was on her chest."

"If you are here to take this back, then we can talk about our troubles."

Nasus looked deeply at the unruly Sivir, and suddenly knelt on one knee, crossing his hands in front of his chest.

"You are the owner of the ascended bloodline. This weapon is also destined to be directed by you, because the blood of the emperor flows in your body."

"The blood of the emperor? The blood of the royal family of the legendary Shurima Empire? "Sivir said coldly.

"How could I not know that I am of royal blood."

"You may not know, but whether you accept your fate or not, Xerath will kill you." Nasus said in a serious tone.

"He wants to completely destroy Azir's bloodline, once and for all!"

"What does Azir want her for?" Taliyah couldn't help asking after hearing this.

"Is he back? Back to Shurima?"

Nasus hesitated for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he stood up again and looked at the Vikora outside the purple barrier.

Ordinary people like them could not hear the conversation just now.

Finally, Nasus looked outside the abandoned stone house and held the axe handle with his left hand..

"You have heard so much, it's time to come out! "

After the voice fell, Taliyah and Sivir looked solemn and looked outside the door.

Under the scorching sun, two figures wearing linen cloaks appeared and slowly walked into the abandoned house.

They looked very clean, in sharp contrast to the bloody and chaotic rebellion scene outside.

The Vikora people in the abandoned stone house looked at them, and they exchanged doubtful and vigilant looks with each other.

Some people have already grasped the weapons they carry, ready to deal with any possible conflicts at any time.

The air also began to be filled with an indescribable tension, as if Any spark could ignite this silent confrontation.

However, the two who broke in seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the room.

They walked steadily and calmly to the corner of the stone house, and came to Nasus, Taliyah, and Sivir.

Seeing this, Taliyah was about to use her ability to manipulate rocks, but she stopped quietly after seeing Nasus guarding in front of her.

Sivir didn't know why, she subconsciously clenched the golden cross-shaped weapon in her hand, and a hint of danger appeared in her azure eyes.

"Charles?"

When Huo Jixing took off the linen hood, Taliyah spoke in surprise, feeling a little happy.

"Didn't you go to Nerimajie? Why did you show up in Weikaola?"

She asked continuously, very surprised that Huo Jixing would appear here.

But before her excitement faded, she heard a startled and angry voice ringing in her ears.

"Cassiopeia!"

Sivir looked at another figure. That familiar face had often appeared in his sleep, and he killed her with his own hands.

However, when she saw Cassiopeia's snake-like lower body, she showed a gloating expression.

"Haha, you are also here today. Doesn't it feel good to be bitten by a python stone statue?"

"Sivir, you didn't die in the tomb?"

Cassiopeia stared at the seriously injured Sivir, spat out the scarlet snake letter, and said coldly.

"Since you're not dead, I'll finish you off here."

Boom!

A dull sound echoed in the abandoned house.

Nasus took off the long-handled battle ax from his back with his left hand, held it in front of him, and stared at Cassiopeia, who showed murderous intent.

Under the cold gaze from the ascendant, Cassiopeia breathed a little hard, took a step back, and hid behind Huo Jixing.

"Noxian, are you sure you want to be my enemy?"

Nasus raised his eyes slightly, as if the power of death was flowing in his pupils.

Taliyah, who was behind her, heard her identity as a Noxian from Huo Ji Star, her face stiffened, and her joy gradually disappeared.

She did have some dislike for Noxians.

Not only what happened in Shurima, but also what happened with the Ionian War.

"No!"

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, paying attention to the purple light surging beside Nasus, and he waved his hand gently.

This is an ascended person who has lived for thousands of years!

In his heyday, Nasus was the leader of the Celestial War, perhaps as powerful as the legendary gods.

Even Nasus, who is now in a weak period, is not sure that he can defeat the opponent.

"How could I be your enemy, Your Majesty Nasus?"

Huo Jixing had some suspicions in his mind when he saw Nasus under the sun disk of Vicora.

Think again of the quarrel between Cassiopeia and Sivir, and talk about the lost tomb.

I had doubts before, but now I am 100% certain.

The mysterious Ascended Tomb in the fall of Katarina is the tomb of the emperor where the ancient wizard spirit Xerath is buried.

It is also the burial place of Azir, the last emperor of the ancient Shurima Empire.

"Perhaps. Our wishes may be the same."

After Huo Jixing organized his words, he looked at Nasus in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"With the same intention, you also want to go to the place where Xerath is sealed?"

Nasus reacted, his deep eyes filled with endless wisdom, as if he could see through all the fog.

"Yes." Huo Jixing nodded.

"We're going to find someone."

"Is it Caterina?"

Sivir looked at Cassiopeia who was hiding behind Huojixing with a sarcastic expression, and laughed.

"I saw with my own eyes that she betrayed her sister and was imprisoned in the cemetery."

"How did you do it? A noble lady from the Du Couture family."

Huo Jixing glanced at Cassiopeia out of the corner of his eye, looked at Sivir, and asked many questions in succession.

"Sivir, how did you escape from the tomb?"

"Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to say anything. I just want to confirm whether Catalina is safe?"

Sivir fell into silence, his eyes dimly recalling what happened in the Lost Tomb.
