Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Princess of Shurima—Sivir
(The following setting about Sivir, the goddess of war, is taken from the official website of the League of Legends universe.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info)
Sivir is a well-known treasure hunter and mercenary captain who conducts frequent contract trades in the Shurima Desert.
Her weapon is a legendary crossblade, and she has won numerous battles, and although it is expensive, she is very popular with her employers. She is known for her fearless determination and boundless ambition, and she takes pride in her career - with a high enough bounty, she can recover a treasure buried deep underground from the treacherous tomb of Shurima.
But as several ancient forces stirred Shurima's bones, Sivir suddenly found himself being held and pulled into two very different destinies.
At a very young age, Sivir learned first-hand the brutality of life in the desert, when all her family was killed by the butcher's knife of the Saenzi, the most feared bandit tribe in the Shurima region. In the months following the massacre, she gradually learned to survive, stealing food from the local market and searching for valuable artifacts in remote ruins.
After years of living on the knife edge, Sivir earned the title of the most prestigious mercenary in Shurima through her hard work and bravery, but as her legend grew, her fame spread beyond the desert.
In Noxus, the story of Sivir is introduced to Cassiopeia (at this time she is not a snake girl, but a girl in normal health, a courtesan of Noxus, ** or something, her best skill...... She was an ambitious nobleman who wanted a treasure thought to be buried in the middle of the desert. Cassiopaia was not short of money, so she hired Sivir as a guide and entered the abyss of Shurima's abandoned capital.
Although Sivir's instincts told her that she could not trust Cassiopeia, she could not refuse such a lucrative expedition.
As they delved deeper into the twisted catacombs of the underground city, many of Sivir's fellow mercenaries were killed by deadly traps, but Cassiopeia was never allowed to retreat. They fumbled in the darkness for several days, and finally Sivir and Cassiopeia finally found a relief depicting ancient emperors and beast-headed ascended warriors. Most of the buried buildings they had seen before had been shattered in the dust of millennia, but the wall and the reliefs on it were intact.
Xavier felt her blood churning, and a sense of déjà vu arose that made her unconscious.
This moment's negligence led to the consummation of her fate.
Cassiopeia seized the moment when Sivir burst close and inserted a knife in Sivir's back. Sivir collapsed in excruciating pain, his life soaked in sand. Then, Sivir's consciousness dimmed like a burnt candle, her body temperature receded, and death loomed.
Cassiopeia used Sivir's weapon to open the door to the crypt, but was cursed by the Guardian Serpent when she triggered the trap, transformed into a monster with a snake body and human head, and finally fled back to Noxus.
However, Sivir's fate did not end.
Her life faded by as her ancestor Azir resurrected in the reverberations of fate generated by her royal bloodline.
He carried the dying Sivir to the "Oasis of Dawn", once a sacred pool filled with healing water. After thousands of years of depletion, it is now filled with clear holy water again in the presence of Azir. The healing water enveloped Sivir's body, miraculously healing Cassiopeia's fatal knife wound.
With a throbbing gasp, Sivir opened her eyes, dizzy and confused, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
A familiar face looked at her lovingly, and Sivir blinked, trying to figure out if he was still alive. Around her, swirls of sand and dust swept up by the whirlwind for hundreds of feet, forming majestic palaces, grand temples, and wide squares. Rising from the desert tombs, the ancient city of Shurima has been restored to its former glory and magnificence, crowning the capital with huge golden discs floating in the air, shining brighter than the midday sun.
The return of Azir restored the ancient city to its former greatness.
Sivir had grown up listening to the legends of the Ascended, but she thought that only children and fools would truly believe in those fantasies. Now that the city around her has appeared out of thin air, and there is a long-dead emperor who talks to her face to face, talking to himself about his bloodline and vision of the revival of the kingdom, Sivir is deeply shocked. Everything that was once believed in is now being questioned.
The emperor's words still echoed in her ears, and she chose to escape and return to the former life of a mercenary, and the reality of working hard to make money brought her the comfort of life.
She tosses and turns, struggling to accept that she might be the heir to a forgotten empire, but then struggles to put that thought behind her. Even if everything Azir said was true, she was still sure that no one would be able to unite Shurima's divided faction.
The most powerful warlords may be able to control a small piece of land for a period of time with enough gold and men to control a continent that will never be rally under a single banner, let alone subordinate them to a single person, even if that person is indeed an ancient emperor.
Azir is working hard to rebuild his once-great empire. Sivir is tormented, doubting that he will never be able to regain his former life.
A looming mysterious force is eroding her world, and for better or worse, fate has given her a second life choice.
Now she must choose her own path and forge a new legacy.

"Damn, the wound seems to have opened again......"
Sivir was lying in a common house in Nashrami and was annoyed, and she regretted that she had driven Taliyah away.
Some time ago, she went through an incredible journey that turned her life upside down.
She is actually the bloodline of the ancient Shurima Emperor Azir, she has lived for so many years, but she has never known that she is actually a princess of the Forgotten Empire......
However, she did not accept this illusory fact arranged by God, but chose to escape and choose to return to the life of a mercenary.
But she was inevitably affected and was wounded in a battle for water, which was not worth mentioning to her before.
The wounded Sivir meets a kind girl, Taliyah. With her help, Sivir's injuries are gradually improving.
However, at this time, Zelas, who was bent on seizing the rule of Shurima, learned of Sivir's origins through ancient sorcery and came to capture her himself.
The wounded Sivir was unable to escape, but thanks to the help of Taliyah and Nasus, who arrived in time at the critical moment, she narrowly escaped the catastrophe.
Wearing the pendant that Nasus had given him, Sivir evaded Zelas's magic and fled with Taliyah to Nashramé.
Thinking she was safe, Sivir drove her away, despite Taliyah's refusal, knowing that Taliyah was trying to find her own parents and her community.
Sivir, huddled alone in bed, was shivering, her wounds had begun to burn, and her forehead was getting hot.
"This careless stupid girl didn't know to check my wound before leaving...... Stupid! ”
Sivir was helpless, she didn't know whether to blame the so-so Taliyah a little more, or to blame herself for being too reckless.
Just a second before the groggy Sivir was about to fall asleep, the door of the house was opened from the outside.
With her fingers curled, Sivir tried to pick up her weapon, but her weak body wasn't enough for her to perform the simple action. Reluctantly looking sideways, she let go of her worries when she realized that it was Nasus in disguise, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
"Although I don't want to get involved in those grievances thousands of years ago, at least, my little fortune has been saved again...... Well, when the injury is healed, you must find a chance to escape! ”
"Hey...... Princess, me? ”
"Forget it, it's better to have a lot of bounty!"
