Chapter 61: Gravedigging
The acid water in Jeno's mouth was secreted profusely, and the taste of spoiled milk surged in his mouth, making him feel the urge to vomit.
This is when Ezreal uses the Arcane Leap, and Jeno is too close to the source of the mana, causing an instinctive reaction that is too strong.
"The body is still too sensitive, and you have to master the magical talent as soon as possible to suppress this reaction on your own."
Geno swallowed a breath of air, and he couldn't hold down the reaction, he straightened up and patted Ezreal next to him.
"Ezreal, I'm going to make good on my promise, what do you want to know about Laxana."
The moon was shining, there was no one around, and behind this high wall was the cemetery, where the people were sleeping, and the night guards were not here.
Who would stay at the cemetery in the middle of the night to guard the grave?
"Huh! Do you know a lot about her? It's so unfair! How do you know I'm going crazy! Ezreal let out a silent cry, he wasn't stupid enough to wake people up.
"Yes, I know several, but I can only tell you one this time." Jeno shrugged.
"That'...... You tell me if she likes me or not? ”
"You...... You haven't even talked to her, she doesn't know you, how can she like you. Jeno rolled his eyelids, love and blood rage are almost the same, attack +50, courage +100, IQ -200.
"And does she have anyone she likes?" Izawa asked.
"Yes, it's called Starfire."
"Oh my God, then I'm hopeless?"
Ezreal's hands hung limply.
"You still have it, cheer up, because Starfire is a horse, raised by Laxana since she was a child, and she often rides it out and about."
"I seem to be a little impressed, I envy that horse!"
Jeno gave Ezreal a deep look: "Licking dogs is not allowed to house." ”
By the moonlight, Jeno struggled to distinguish the names on the tombstone, and he did not feel afraid, and a voice that had been echoing softly in his mind, like a Chopin, drove away the thought of retreating.
The environment of the cemetery is deep, and the flowers and plants grow flush, and it seems that there are often gardeners to prune them.
Ezreal didn't put away his relics, the golden armguards glowing like flashlights.
"Turn off the lights! You idiot! Jeno turned around and scolded.
"What are you afraid of, when I was archaeological, I always took things away in such a fair way...... Wait a minute? I thought I'd found Elicia, so I said, "I'm looking for something with a lamp." ”
With the light from the gauntlets, Ezreal quickly found Elicia's grave, put away the gauntlets, then took out the shovel from his backpack, gave it to Jeno, and then struggled to get down the shovel.
Shoveling shadows, turf flying, wet dirt exposed to the air, Jeno dug harder than anyone else, as if enchanted, until he reached an obstacle.
Sweeping through the dirt, Jeno saw an iron coffin, shaped like a rectangular treasure chest, which could be lifted on one side and had a delicate lock at the opening.
The coffin lid is carved with reliefs the life deeds of the people in the coffin: lead a camel team into the desert, find a valley in the desert, find a huge crystal scorpion silent here, take out the core from the scorpion's body, and then fight with the awakened scorpion, the camel team has suffered countless casualties, the leader lost an arm, returned to the family with the crystal, and opened a new era of science and technology.
The reliefs are very vivid, at least those fierce crystal scorpions, Jeno can think of the poor shell orphan Skana at a glance.
Natural Hex Crystals were found in the bodies of the Shell Humans, resembling their brains and hearts, passed down from generation to generation, and died when they were removed.
When it awakens, it will find itself as the last remaining member of the Shell Terran, and then embark on a journey with the Lonely Roving Clan's Crystal, which will eventually reveal that it is nothing more than a walking Hex Crystal in the eyes of Madame Piltworth.
Jeno wished that its little short legs would allow it to slow down to Piltover, or get lost in the desert, so that the Shell Folk would not be wiped out.
"Do you want me to blast it away?"
Ezreal pointed to the iron coffin, he had been to many tombs, but he had never encountered a locked coffin, as for the tomb doors that stood in the way?
Please, there is such a good holy object as the Nazuk Armguard, can't it be just blasted away, Ezreal has always done this, if the Explorers Guild discovers this kind of behavior, then Ezreal will not want to turn positive for the rest of his life.
He enjoyed the process of exploration more than the treasure he got at the end.
"No, no, I can untie it."
Jeno pushed Ezreal's arm away, he had seen the lock for the first time, and he didn't know anything about the internal structure, but for some reason, the unlocking technique was hidden in his mind, as if he should have known how to open it.
His fingers touched the lock, and the memory was even deeper, as if someone had forcibly played an effect in his mind, and he closed his eyes, and the touch and memory in his hand overlapped with each other.
Smack
Smack
The machine was separated, the impact collided, and only a click was heard, and a gap between the coffin and the coffin lid opened.
As Jeno was about to lift the lid, Ezreal reminded him to hold his breath lest he inhale any poisonous gas or the stench of corpses.
Jeno nodded and lifted the lid of the coffin, and the dazzling blue light filled the entire field of vision, turning the whole world into a brilliant blue.
It took a few seconds for Jeno's eyes to adjust to the light, and he saw a fist-sized crystal lying quietly on the chest of a one-armed female corpse in fine clothes.
"Wow, Elicia has been dead for hundreds of years, and the body has not decomposed, as if it is sleeping, and the miraculous thing is that there are no embalming measures in the coffin."
The glittering crystal was placed in front of him, and Ezreal's attention was actually on the female corpse, it was not that he didn't know the value of the crystal, but he didn't think about fighting with Jeno at all.
Elicia should have been less than forty years old when she died, with rough skin but a real texture, except that she was not breathing, like a person who had fallen asleep.
Others would have been puzzled when they saw this strange sight, but Jeno knew it had something to do with the crystal that accompanied her to the funeral.
Natural Hex Crystals can keep Camille young and immortalize the corpse.
Suddenly, Jano's ears heard a warning from Jana: "Jeno, get out of here, someone is approaching your direction quickly!" ”
Jeno was shocked, and regardless of whether there was corpse poison on the crystal, he directly scooped it up and stuffed it into his pocket, so that its light was no longer so blazing, and then covered the coffin casually, and pulled Ezreal to run under the high wall.
Ezreal is a little confused, why did Jeno run away like crazy when he touched the crystal, and the tools of the crime have not been taken away, isn't this a naked provocation to leave clues for others?
"I think we should restore the scene, otherwise it will be no different from the Ming robbery."
Ezreal persuaded Jeno, but instead of Jeno, he was greeted by a mechanical female voice as cold as a blade, which made people shudder.
"I'm coming to get you."
