"The good news, the water is drinkable, and ...... Cool and tasty. ”

Taking the silver jewelry out of the still-flowing trickle and taking a sip of the water, Sivir nodded and said to the group.

Relieved by Sivir's words, Lines spread his trench coat on the ground and put Anne on it.

By this time, the poor little girl was completely unconscious, and her pale lips were constantly wriggling, as if she wanted to say something.

Lines took the kettle full of clean water and "inadvertently" approached Hadias to the spout.

"Well, perfect groundwater, I can't even smell a hint of earth, it's a royal gift - to be honest, I don't really believe there is such perfect clear water in an ancient tomb. ”

To be honest, Lines also knew in his heart that there were many doubts here, but now there was no way back, only one step at a time.

"No, there's no way to reach the War College. ”

Jax looked at a fragment of clay on the ground, which was the rune that Ruiz had given him to use in an emergency, and if he crushed it, Ruiz would teleport to the place where the rune shattered as soon as possible.

"Although there is water to drink...... But this little girl's magic is seriously overdrawn, and if she doesn't cultivate well, her life is still in danger, Sivir, since you brought us here, you must have a solution. ”

Jax sat on the ground and looked at Anne.

"Of course, I wouldn't have acted rashly many years ago. ”

As he spoke, Sivir carefully took off a necklace inlaid with sapphires from his neck, and Jax couldn't help but be slightly moved when he saw the deep and terrifying sapphire on it.

"Sure enough, it is rumored that you took out many treasures in the ancient city of Shurima...... Now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

"Don't use such simple words, I almost lost my life to get this. ”

With that, Sivir placed the necklace on Anne's body.

"The Demon Weapon, which is said to be a foreign object belonging to the mage next to the last emperor of the Shurima Empire, can absorb any form of magic attack after being charged, and convert it into a magic supply to its owner, which can be said to be a life-saving weapon. ”

I see......

Lines nodded.

It turned out that when Anne threw the spell wildly, Sivir was able to retreat behind the dunes unscathed, relying on this treasure.

But......

Looking at the blue light mask that was gradually lighting up next to Anne, the three of them began to stare widely.

"That...... Ahem. ”

Sivir coughed twice in embarrassment.

"I'm a native of Shurima, and I don't have a magical education...... You two, whichever one of you, put a spell out, especially you, Jax, don't you often glow yellow on your lamppost and hammer someone else's?"

After listening to Xavier's words, Jax was also embarrassed.

"I use pure internal force, I can only attach to weapons, I myself hate magic and the like, do you want to see this and the street lamp smashed on little Annie, that kid will fight with me." ”

As he spoke, Jax shifted to Lines.

"Hey, boy, aren't you a top student at the War Academy, and it was recommended by Ruiz personally, hurry up, just rub a fireball or something. ”

Lines didn't speak, just stared at Jax quietly.

Just kidding, how could a little beggar from the slums of Noxus rub fireballs like those noble mages?

That said, Lines still has someone to call for.

"Hadias, think of a way. ”

"What, are you going to be an earless blue fat man who can take out anything, some things have to be faced by yourself...... Well, you put the cork down first, there is actually a way. ”

Hearing Hadias say this, Lines put away the cork in his hand, and sure enough, what he had picked up in the caravan was very useful, at least for this magic sword.

"Actually, there is a way, although you don't know magic, but your blood has been melted into the ice blood, and it has become something with a higher magic content than crystal mines, if you want to sell it in the market, you will definitely get rich quickly...... Ahem, get down to business, if you can smear blood on the blue cover, maybe it will help. ”

Blood?

Lines looked at his fingers.

Not...... Anyway, it's all things that can be replenished by rune stones, so it doesn't matter if you flow a little.

"One point, of course, is not enough, even if your blood mana content is higher than that of crystals, it is not aggressive, and only when the amount reaches a certain level can the shield's protection mechanism be activated. ”

"How much do you need?"

"I don't know, maybe I can't do it with a whole body drain. ”

Hadias smiled maliciously, his eyes on the hilt of his sword full of playfulness.

"That's just a try. ”

As he spoke, under Sivir's surprised gaze, Lines slit his wrist, and in an instant, blood from the veins slowly flowed out and dripped onto the blue shield beside Anne.

"Hey, boy, what are you doing ......?"

Sivir was about to take the bandage out of his arms, but was stopped by Jax.

"This guy has his own reasons for doing this, so let's not be nosy. ”

Hearing Jax's words, Xavier also clasped his hands, looked at Raines with a calm face, and frowned.

He ...... What is the relationship with this little girl?"

"Who knows, according to one of my juniors, it was only one mission that cared so well, and you may not believe it, but this kid was a beggar of Noxus before. ”

The beggars of Noxus.

When he heard the words, Sivir clearly leaked a look of surprise.

Although she was born in Shurima, when she was young, Sivir also spent a long time as a mercenary in Noxus, and her brave behavior was also set up as a model by the Propaganda Department of the Noxian Army at that time, of course, her name was not called the Mercenary Queen at that time, but "the goddess of war of Noxus." ”

Subsequently, due to an incident, Sivir broke with Noxus, not only dissolved the mercenary relationship, but also trumpeted the untrustworthiness of Noxus at the War College.

Of course, this came at the cost of Noxus' years-long hunt, and until now, her head has been bounty of nearly 100,000 runestones in Noxus.

"I'm surprised, right, if it weren't for the fact that the agents of the War College had checked it out in many ways, I couldn't believe that a Noxian pauper who was supposed to be selfish to the extreme, would have become like this. ”

"No, I'm not surprised at all. ”

Sivir smiled relievedly and shook his head at Jax's strange gaze.

"After all, only those who have seen the darkness will risk their lives for the light in front of them......"

……

Jax looked at Sivir stunned, and after a long time, smiled as well.

"Huh...... Sure enough, it is a mother-in-law-level character, and any word she says is chicken soup for the soul. ”

……

Just as the two were chatting, the sound of sand rubbing and some conversation suddenly came from the wind and sand outside.

“…… Be careful, there are footsteps, it may be the companion of this kid. ”

Someone is approaching!

Jax was startled and touched the lamppost next to him, but Sivir patted Jax on the shoulder with a serious expression.

"From now on, you're going to call me Sylvie, and I'm not a mercenary queen, but an ordinary desert mercenary, and ...... Don't be surprised at what you see after that. ”

"What, what the hell are you talking about......"

Just as Jax was surprised, suddenly, the door of the temple was carefully opened.

And the people outside the door surprised both Jax and Lines.
