Lux's Farewell

339 0335 rappelling in the middle of the night

Sivir told a pretty classic Shurima joke, but unfortunately, after she finished telling the story, the stone box didn't budge or react at all.

"What nonsense!" Everyone else was laughing in low voices, but the folklorist gave Sivir a dissatisfied look, "They say this is the tomb of the early days of ancient Shurima, the joke you told is too new , how could it be useful?!"

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

If the tomb dated far before the collapse of the Shurima Empire, the owner of the tomb would not have understood the point of the hellish joke that Xerath betrayed Azir.

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

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

Cassiopeia leaned over curiously, but found that she could understand almost every word in the dictionary, but she couldn't understand the pronunciation marked in the common language.

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

"This is the pronunciation of ancient Shurima!" The folklorist continued to mutter, while reluctantly replied, "If you want to open this box, you must tell a joke in ancient Shurima!"

Hearing what he said, everyone showed stunned expressions—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 Shurima's writing hasn't changed much for thousands of years, the meaning of the writing and the pronunciation of the writing have undergone earth-shaking changes with the collapse of the empire and the integration of cultures.

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

In this case, if a joke were to be told on the stone chest, it would indeed be in Old Shurima.

After figuring this out, everyone showed expressions of "see if you see it, this is professional".

Sensing this gaze, the folklorist also puffed up his chest subconsciously, showing a somewhat reserved, professional pride.

After a quarter of an hour, he finally prepared his own joke, cleared his throat, and told the stone box a popular joke in ancient Shurima.

However, it is a pity that this ordinary joke, according to this "professional" way of telling, has lost its funny core, and it seems to be sloppy.

As a result, the stone box remained motionless and did not respond.

The atmosphere became awkward again.

One moment everyone was silently praising this "professional" in their hearts, but the next moment they all looked contemptuous and began to scramble to tell various jokes.

At first, everyone wanted to tell some jokes that were not related to the age and society and were always funny, but then seeing that the stone box didn't respond at all, the style of the jokes gradually began to deviate.

ironic, metaphorical, colored...

All kinds of jokes took turns trying to open the stone box, but no matter what they said, the box didn't move and didn't respond.

As night fell, the mouths of the people who had been telling jokes all afternoon finally became dry and could no longer continue—after studying together, they finally decided not to care so much, and directly found the rope tomorrow and put it on The whole stone box is towed away!

Although this stone box weighs at least ten tons, considering that the road from here to Nashilami is sandy, as long as it is tied firmly with ropes, it can be dragged back with a hard tow!

Now, let everyone rest and rest—these dirty jokes did not open the stone box, but made many people laugh stupidly all afternoon, and only then did they realize that laughing too much is also a very tiring job matter.

........................

The night was dark.

Although it has been confirmed that the tomb should be safe, everyone still chooses to rest in tents in the col for safety reasons.

What if there is any mechanism or trap related to time in this tomb?

When the snoring sounded one after another, and the mercenary who laughed all afternoon rubbed his stomach and felt sleepy at the entrance of the tomb, a rope silently hung down from the cliff above the cliff and was close to the cliff.

Kassadin and Ezreal, who had been lurking for a long time, finally took action.

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

Although this afternoon, when the stone wall outside the cliff was blasted, they reacted immediately, but they were not in a hurry at that time-because according to the normal situation, they found the entrance of the tomb and the ruins, and then entered the main ruins The core or the master's tomb, it will take at least a few days.

Especially this kind of tomb, which looks very high-end at first glance, how can it be so easy to touch it?

Therefore, both of them wanted to let these people explore first, and after they found some ways and destroyed most of the traps, they would go and enjoy the benefits themselves.

However, what they didn't expect was that the team's exploration speed was terrifyingly fast, and it didn't take long for them to enter the main tomb!
In this case, Kassadin and Ezreal were a little dumbfounded. They really never expected that only the outer stone wall of this Barren Hill God's Tomb is not easy to break through, and the inside of the God's Tomb is simply a little defensive. nothing!

But no matter how anxious the two were, after all, the expedition team below had a large number of people and professional mercenary guards. They could only hide on the mountain obediently and keep an eye on the situation inside the tomb.

What surprised them was that when these people came out at night, they almost returned empty-handed—except for some small statues that were like babies, the others were all empty-handed, as if they hadn't found anything.

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

In the middle of the night, sneak in and have a look!

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

In this way, after most of the expedition team rested, Kassadin and Ezreal finally moved.

　Kalya's Little Classroom Shurima-style jokes:
　　Because of the large number of wives and concubines, the astonishing number of heirs, and his lack of taboos for meat and vegetables, Azir, the last desert emperor, will be the protagonist or supporting role in many colorful stories. In a sense, he can be regarded as relying on his own strength. , forcibly lowered the reputation of the Shurima royal family a lot.
