Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 137 The Bad Omen
In the middle of the ruins of the City of the Sun, Sivir's mercenaries and Noxus guards were looking for the entrance to the underground.

After more than two hours, Cassiopeia, who was a little impatient, went to Sivir who was squatting on the ground in the distance, looking for something.

She walked almost silently, a habit she had acquired from her childhood under the tutelage of her father du Caucao.

It's a pity that Cassiopeia didn't have much assassin talent, so she was given up by her father and concentrated on training her sister Katerina.

Although she heard that her father later adopted a child named Talon in Noxus, it didn't matter anymore.

After all, she had already made up her mind, and after gaining enough power to control the Noxus secret war, she betrayed the father of the empire with her own hands.

Cassiopeia silently walked behind Sivir, and patted her on the shoulder. The surprised opponent immediately grabbed her hand and made a counter-grasp posture.

"--what!"

Sivir heard Cassiopeia's screams, and immediately stopped her instinctive reaction and let him go.

"Miss Du Kecao, why are you walking silently?" She frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.

Cassiopeia rubbed her stinging shoulder and arm, "Who knew you would have such a big reaction?"

Hearing what she said, Sivir chuckled unhappily, "I heard that the Du Kecao family is a notorious assassin family, you should be very clear about the consequences of approaching a person who makes a living by fighting silently, right? ?”

Tch, it will make you proud for a while...

A hint of coldness flashed across Cassiopeia's eyes, and she cursed secretly in her heart.

Then, she deliberately showed a helpless expression and explained: "Sorry, I don't have the talent for fighting, so I didn't learn much about assassins from my father..."

"Now you have learned some experience." Seeing Cassiopeia's intentional apology, Sivir's dissatisfied tone softened a bit, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"I just want to ask how the progress is going." Cassiopeia straightened her face, "When we cooperated before, it didn't take you so long to find the entrance to the mausoleum."

"Miss Du Kecao, don't forget that you provided the specific location before."

Sivir paused, "If you can narrow down the scope of our cooperation this time as you did before, maybe we've already gone underground by this time."

Cassiopeia opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't refute Sivir, and sighed, "Forget it, as soon as the sun goes down..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a mercenary in the distance shouted excitedly: "Boss, we found the entrance!"

Sivir and Cassiopeia exchanged glances, and immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

The two of them jumped continuously from the rugged high ground, and arrived at the entrance along with several other mercenaries and Noxus guards.

At this time, a dozen mercenaries had already started to clear a small part of the sundries that covered the door of the tomb.

The entrance to the ground is made of golden smooth marble, presenting the shape of a triangular cone.

Its tip exposed on the surface is at least two meters high, and most of it is still buried under the yellow sand.

Cassiopeia, who had a keen attention, noticed the traces on the metal gate on this part of the surface, and couldn't help but feel tense, "Why are there traces of excavation here?"

"It should be that some expedition team who didn't bring all the tools tried to dig... It seems that they didn't succeed."

Sivir shook his head, while beckoning more subordinates to dig down with tools, and said in an indifferent manner:
"Don't worry, if those people have entered, the gate here has already been pried open, or blown open...Anyway, in various forms, the expedition team from Piltover has never lacked precision instruments."

Despite Sivir's comfort, Cassiopeia's brows were still tightly furrowed.

That Li Lin is untrustworthy, the almost divine power in the mausoleum cannot tolerate any mistakes.

After excavating in groups of more than a dozen people, including the Noxus guards, before the sun completely set, they finally dug out the entire mausoleum, the triangular pyramid gate with a height of four to five meters.

Cassiopeia stretched out her hand to caress the tightly closed steel gate carved with various complex and mysterious patterns, "It's not the same as the mausoleum gate dug before..."

The flowing golden sand has not left too many traces of time on its surface, and the pictures on it are still clearly visible.

Among them, the most recognizable ones are the eagle symbolizing the royal family of Shurima and the golden disc symbolizing the power of the sun and the gods.

Sivir stared at the pattern on the door in a daze.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled what Li Lin had said to herself earlier.

Bloodline, and fate...

Sivir turned her head slightly, and from the corner of her eye, she glanced at Chalikar who was behind her.

After a long time, she responded to Cassiopeia's words just now:

"Of course, this is the tomb where the emperor and the Ascended were buried together... What I took you to excavate in the past was only the tombs of some nobles. It must not be compared with this."

Cassiopeia was very excited, and couldn't help urging: "Hurry up, let your men pry the door!"

Why does it feel like this Noxian bitch is a little different from before?

Sivir secretly frowned, but didn't show any abnormality on his face, and beckoned his subordinates to do as Cassiopeia said.

"Let them do it. It will take a lot of work to completely pry open this kind of door. Don't count on it tonight."

She took a bite out of the dry food wrapped in cloth from the satchel she was carrying, and then motioned for Cassiopeia to take a rest by the fire.

"You go, I'm not hungry now." Cassiopeia stared at the mercenaries who broke the door, and replied without looking back.

There is always an uncomfortable feeling...

Her purpose was not just targeting the various treasures and magic items in the mausoleum as usual.

Cassiopeia's behavior made Sivir's doubts deepen.

She stared at the young woman's back, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

Forget it, leave her alone...

It's better to end this mission quickly, take the money and go back to enjoy life.

After thinking about it carefully, Sivir shook his head, and let go of all kinds of distracting thoughts in his mind, and sat down in front of the fire to eat dinner.

All night without incident.

The next morning, after finally getting a good night's sleep, Sivir, who hadn't had a nightmare, was awakened by a scream.

"What happened?!"

She hurriedly got up from the sleeping bag, picked up the Chalikar that was pressed under the sleeping bag, and looked in the direction of the source of the screams.

In the direction of the gate of the mausoleum, several mercenaries who were sentry by the way, fell to the ground unsteadily.

At the same time, a thick black smoke emerged from a small gap in the metal gate, and under the sunlight, it quickly dissipated into the air.

It seems that these few mercenaries who have lost their vitality broke through the gate this morning, and were killed by the poisonous gas from inside...

"Wake up, everyone! There is poisonous gas in the tomb, put on a breathing filter!"

Sivir loudly reminded the other people who had just been awakened by the screams, and quickly took out the simple breathing filter bought from the merchant in Piltover from his satchel and put it on his face.

Cassiopeia, who was sleeping not far from her and just got out of her sleeping bag, took the breathing filter device from her hand and put it on, then walked to her side with a solemn expression.

"How can there be poisonous gas here?! The tombs and ruins we dug before have never seen this kind of situation."

"It's normal to have such a situation in the mausoleum of the emperor and the ascendant, otherwise why do we keep carrying this filtering thing?"

Sivir's voice through the breathing filter device seemed a bit muffled.

Her emerald-like pupils flicked over the man who had turned into a mummy at the door, and then glanced at the cross blade in her hand, but her heart was not as relaxed as she appeared on the surface.

This has never happened before when he was hired by Elder Nashilami to dig another emperor's tomb where he was buried with an Ascended One.

bad omen...

After being silent for tens of seconds, Sivir looked at Cassiopeia beside her, "It seems that there is no ventilation in the mausoleum, or we have triggered a mechanism...

"The black poisonous gas is probably only a part of it. I think it's best to wait for another two or three days for the gas inside..."

Before Sivir finished speaking, Cassiopeia raised her hand to interrupt her, "No...continue to pry open the door."

"Then the lives of my subordinates?!"

"How about doubling the original contract price?"

Sivir frowned, staring at Cassiopeia's eyes without any emotion.

After a long time, she found that this guy seemed to be serious, so she sighed slightly, and called a few more bold men to continue working.

hope everything goes well...
