Hi guys, I'm-
With his handsome face, flowing blonde hair, elegant conversation, and amazing talent, Ezreal was the chief explorer who captivated Piltover among thousands of young girls.
The yellow sand covers the sky, the wind sweeps the sky, and there is no life here, only a few pyramids in the distance tell how glorious and magnificent it once was.
That's right, I'm here again in Shurima. The last time I first explored the buried ruins of the ancient Shurima, I found a talisman with incredible mystical powers, perhaps worn by the legendary Ascendant, this mysterious amulet now clings to my arm, which can enhance my native magic skills to an incredible level, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this ghost place where birds don't.
To get back to the point, I'm here to carry out a mission this time, and as for what the mission, of course it must be kept secret!
But fortunately, I was clever and picked a good day, which happened to be the period when Caitlyn and Wei went out on a mission, otherwise Wei, a violent woman, would definitely be stalking me to take her with me, what are you kidding, I am a little unbearable alone, not to mention bringing a violent gene carrier, this is not to add to my own blockage and find death at the same time!
The most important thing is: the violent woman actually called me Little Yellow Hair! Phew!
Born with a natural gift for magic, I was destined to be a great magician, and at the age of eight I was able to draw a complete map of Piltover's underground tunnels, and even Piltover's government appreciated my talent and bought my map and hired me as Piltover's chief explorer. And someone as handsome as me is the protagonist in other stories! How can it be called by a violent woman: small! Yellow! Hair!
Calculate the time, Caitlin and the violent woman must have returned to the police station when I arrived at Shurima, and the violent woman must have been angry when she learned that I was gone! It's a pity that I can't see that scene with my own eyes, but fortunately, they have accumulated a lot of things to do during their mission, otherwise I wouldn't be surprised that the violent woman killed Shurima. Kindness.... Okay, okay, I can't be affected by the violent woman, and I'm about to go to the destination of this trip: some unknown mausoleum in Shurima.
Before reaching the mausoleum, I had to go through the "sai", a term that refers to the harsh, undulating plains of the southern desert made of gravel and sharp stones. In the southern part of Shurima, unnecessary noise is prohibited. Can't laugh out loud. No small talk. Even greedy mercenaries waited quietly at the edge of the brigade, listening to the bells used to warn robbers or wild beasts.
It's dangerous, and there is a beast known as "Exe", which seems to be the only species that Shurima seems, its disgusting flesh is dripping with pus and foam, and decaying at an unusual rate. It is clear that this creature is inedible, not medicinal, and worthless.
Axy pours out of the tunnels they dug and plunders everything nearby. In ancient times, merchants, traders, and armed caravans would travel hundreds of miles away from this place, and although I didn't want to pass through it, the sad thing is that the mausoleum seems to be in the middle of the "race".
I was very careful to go on the "race", and luckily I had a map, which I should have secretly recorded, because I couldn't think of anyone who could depict such a detailed map, but it was undeniable that the map did help me a lot, not only depicting the correct route, but also marking many forbidden areas, which belonged to Lexey's territory.
Lexie: Belonging to the Exe race, she is the largest and most temperamental of the race, a ruthless predator who can dig tunnels underground at will, ambush and devour her prey, once Lexus detects you, your fate is already sealed, there is no hope of escape, she is death from under the gravel.
Of course, I don't think Lexus will survive until now, because Lexus is a record of antiquity, more than 1,000 years ago, okay? But I'm not stupid enough to go to the forbidden area marked on the map to verify Lexie's survival, maybe there is another Axie, and life is the most important.
Resting at an old and vacant outpost due to the fatigue of the journey, and even willing to spend hours in the shadow of its ruins, can provide a sweet solace in the scorching sun. It is said that it was Lexy who destroyed the place. When I first came to Shurima, I might have dismissed it as another foolish superstition of the desert people. But I've seen too many deaths in Shurima. I've walked through thousands of dry bones. What kind of monster can have such great power to cause such a terrible situation? Maybe it's just "Axe".
While resting and adjusting my condition, I continued to hurry, fortunately there was no danger along the way, basically nothing happened according to the guidance of the map, even the most common mercenary in Shurima did not see one, because the "Sai" here is too dangerous, if there is not a map as detailed as mine.
It took a few more hours, and thankfully, I finally saw the entrance to the mausoleum: a robbery cave that looked like it was about to collapse, perhaps the work of a tomb robber from ancient times, which was just right for me.
I went through the thief hole and put the miner's lamp on my head, I was very glad that I was wearing brown dirt-resistant clothes, otherwise my beautiful male image would have been completely ruined this time.
I controlled my head and shone the miner's lamp down, well, hell! How could there be a complete skeleton! And countless bones, my God, how many grave robbers have died?
But it didn't frighten me, and I went on quickly, and I had to see if I could find the cause of their death from these bones, and it might work for me, but I was doomed to be disappointed, for I found nothing, and had dried for so long that I turned to ashes at the touch of it.
I have to say, this place is really gloomy, there is no movement at all, but this can't stop me from moving forward, take out another map from the backpack behind me, this is the construction map of the mausoleum, the ghost knows how Piltover's government got it, carefully looked at the map, and walked forward along the surrounding bones for a while before determining his location, it was a passage in front of the room.
Well, it is far away from the main burial chamber, and you can quickly reach the main burial chamber through this side chamber.
I groped my way forward, there was nothing in this passage, there were no murals on the bare walls, and soon I came to the door of the side room, very strange, the door of the side room was not only open, but also without any traps, very abnormal, but it was not good to care about it, no danger.
Entering the side room, it was pitch black, and under the limited light, I saw all kinds of stone statues! This should be the guard of the mausoleum, each stone statue is in human form, but it is different, there are many animal shapes, and there is even a stone statue, looking at the outline, it should be "Axey" undoubtedly.
The stone statue stared at me as if it had a spirit, and I had goosebumps when I saw it, and I didn't dare to linger, but I heard that the little daughter of Duke Kao, one of the Seven Heroes of Noxus, was called. It seems like... It seems to be Cassiopeia. It seems that he was turned into a monster with a snake head and body by a mausoleum guard in Shurima, and he is a poor beauty.
Quickening my pace, I soon reached the door of the main burial chamber, and there was no danger along the way, which surprised me, calmed down my excitement, and slowly, opened the door of the main burial chamber.
The main burial chamber is not as dark as the side chambers and passages, but rather unusual and resplendent! The walls were also carved with all kinds of strange runes, many of which I had never seen or heard before!
The entire main burial chamber was empty except for a huge coffin in the center.
It was the moment I opened the door.
The coffin opened...
...
"Do you want to play with me? ...”
In the silence of the tomb, I could not be mistaken, the source of this sound was - coffin!
