The staircase, which used to belong to the high platform, has been broken into several sections. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The crevices of the info staircase are like big black mouths, eeriely covered in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs.

Luckily, the climbers are mercenaries. It didn't take much effort for Tariq and the others to climb to the top.

Surprisingly, the glow of the huge crystal seemed to be constant. They weren't glaring because they were too close. A soft faint light sprinkled on everyone's body, and it seemed that the chill was much less at the same time as they felt holy.

The platform was empty except for the crystals, and there was no large chest full of treasures that the mercenary had imagined. However, the sharp corners of the eyes still found something unusual.

For example, at the very end of the platform, there is a statue with a severed head.

Another example is a dusty book on a small stone platform in front of the statue.

"Books? After that much time, won't it rot? He Luo pursed his lips, although he was a scumbag, he also knew that if he was placed in a sealed and humid space for too long, things like books would have rotted long ago, right?

Affleck smiled.

"Yes. Even the best parchment paper can't last that long. This book is made of gold. ”

A companion excitedly wiped the dust off the book, revealing the yellow cover underneath.

Although in Valoran, gold is no longer the finest precious metal. However, such a thick golden book still made the eyes of these mercenaries shine.

However, the companion did not heat the golden book, and the dark corner pushed him away and squeezed him up.

Vignet's hand gently stroked over the cover, which had three triangles stacked on top of each other. It looks like an eye, and it looks like a brilliant gem.

Dark Corner pulled out a folding knife from behind him, and he pushed the blade away, slowly cutting along the gap that was closed, his technique simple and neat, gently cutting through the pages that had been sealed for a long time.

Just like the vignetting estimates, the inside of the page is still a pattern, and the pattern of the same style as those tattoos and dark lines. Dark Corner carefully flipped through the pages, and the entire high platform was so quiet that there was no sound, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Sivir and Tariq are more familiar with Vignetting than anyone else. They could see a change in the look of the Dark Corner, a mixture of ecstasy, horror, fear, and mystery, and the young man tried to restrain his emotions, but his fingers trembled.

I don't know how long it took, but the almost stagnant atmosphere was finally broken by Tariq.

"You...... Do you understand it all? Tariq asked.

Darkhorn nodded at Sivir and Tariq.

"So, what did you say?" Tariq was reassured by Darkhorn, knowing that the young man was the most qualified of all the mercenaries. Although he is young, his knowledge of history, runes, religion, etc., is stronger than that of many doctors of power.

"It's actually a letter." Dark Corner whispered, "The history of the Holy Trinity is told." ”

"History?" Sivir's thin eyebrows furrowed.

"At the very beginning of the Runeterra Lands, when all races were marching in the darkness, someone discovered the power of magic. What a strange power it is, the power that surpasses all human beings and races, can shatter a boulder with a single punch, and can recover instantly after being injured, even opening up the world. Clever humans soon discovered how to harness this power, and through the crystal springs left behind on the continent, people could extract crystals loaded with magic. And now we know that this hedron is called a rune. ”

"The Holy Trinity originated in the time when magic had just been discovered by mankind. The Holy Trinity is the name of a religion that claims to have a god at the very top of the world, and that all the magic in this world is a gift from this god. And the founder of the Holy Trinity was also the first person on this continent to discover how to extract magic crystals from the crystal spring. ”

"None?" Tariq had a bit of frustration on his face, after all, he had led his companions all the way, and he was always expecting some good rewards. But it took all the hard work to get here, and it ended like this, which made it a pity for a mercenary captain like him.

"No more. It's all some history. But you know I like history, so I'll leave this book to me to study. Darkhorn gently closed the golden book and looked at Tariq and Xavier as he spoke.

"Hey, you guy. Don't be so greedy! Anyway, this book is also made of gold, and you say take it away? A companion said with some dissatisfaction. Although they all know that the dark corner is obsessed with history, but in the face of the temptation of gold, they are all obligated to defend their rights and interests without hesitation.

"That's right. It's still the old rule, two copies for each captain and Sivir, and one for each of us, fair! The senior of his companions said.

"But I'd love to look into it." Darkhorn sighed, "Well, I'll study this book for a month." When we return to Demacia together, we will divide the book again. To compensate you...... I don't want the balance this time, can you divide it? ”

The companions hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Dark Corner is an honest young man who helps them improve their equipment, tells them history on weekdays, and is never greedy. Such a condition is very generous, after all, the final payment is a huge amount of money for every mercenary, and as long as you are with Tariq Shivir, you don't have to worry that this dark corner will take this golden book and escape.

"Okay. Then we'll divide after we go back to Demacia. Tariq made the final decision. So they searched around the platform again, and when they found nothing, they prepared to leave.

Boom boom.

The sound of a sudden mechanical rotation resounded in the hall continuously. The soft light of the crystal instantly turned purple. Then everyone saw that the original ruin-like hall suddenly became like purgatory! One by one, the secret doors opened one after another, and then the bald man with the upper body like the previous white face rushed in.

However, unlike the previous white face, these bald heads moved more mechanically, they all held weapons in their hands, their complexion was white, but covered with a thick layer of dust, as if they were all corpses released from the coffin underground, and the sharp-eyed Sivir saw that these white-faced bald heads had no pupils in their eye sockets, and they were all bright with purple light.

"They...... It's an enemy, right? One of my companions asked worriedly. For he saw countless bald heads with weapons, staggering towards the high platform.

"How so. The guy from before didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Tariq was a little confused, but it wasn't in his nature to hesitate. So he decisively pulled out his weapon and said, "Kill." ”

"Okay." Sivir took the crisscross blade from his back again.

Each companion grabbed the most advantageous position. This is their habit as mercenaries. Experienced mercenaries like them don't choose to break out directly, and countless bloody lessons have taught them that only after a melee is up can they find the weakest position of the opponent and surprise away.

Dark Corner walked over to the statue with the severed head and was silent for a few seconds.

"Although your glory is gone, I hope you can bless us to leave."

Vignette turned around, but almost collided with Xavier. The woman stared at herself coldly.

"Give me the book." Sivir said.

"What's wrong...... Sivir, didn't you say you would take it out when you returned to Demacia? Dark Corner was stunned for a moment, then continued.

"I don't believe you." Xavier rushed at her, her body almost touching the face of the Darkhorn, and the Darkhorn stumbled before being pushed against the statue.

"Give it to me." Sivir was very serious, and she pulled out a short dagger in her hand, the cold blade of which pressed to the throat of the dark horn.

Cold beads of sweat came out from behind the dark corners. The dagger had once been a general's personal possession, a trophy of Hevir's assassination of the general. And the assassination was also present, and he saw with his own eyes that Sivir snatched the general's dagger with his backhand, and then cut off the general's head.

"What do you want to do...... Tariq just said that we didn't decide this until we arrived in Demacia? Darkhorn was still struggling, for he saw Tariq coming, and he believed that Sivir didn't dare to do anything to him.

"Hmph."

Sivir didn't cut his throat, but he slammed a knee blow, right in the abdomen of the dark corner, and the severe pain made the dark corner bend down and lie on the ground in an instant.

Sivir pulled the book out of the buckskin pocket behind the dark horn and placed it in his bag.

"What's the matter, Sivir, why is this happening?" Tariq looked at all this with all seriousness. Since the establishment of this mercenary team, there has never been such civil unrest. As for Sivir's killing of Darkhorn, Tariq believed it would not happen. But there must be a reason why Sivir did this.

"He's lying. This book isn't just a record of history. These white bald heads, it feels like everything has to do with this book. Sivir said as he looked at Tariq earnestly.

"Really?" Tariq asked, looking at the Dark Corner as he struggled to get up on the ground.

“……”

Seeing that the golden book had been snatched away, Dark Corner could only sigh.

"It's not just history, it's heritage."

Dark Corner staggered to his feet, looked at Tariq and said helplessly, "The second half is a method. It is how the Holy Trinity extracts the most powerful runes from the Crystal Spring. There is also a location. Trinity has stored their most powerful runes there, waiting for the heirs to retrieve them. ”

"So, you lied to us just now? Do you want to keep it all to yourself? Tariq, who had always been generous, also became cold, and he asked viciously.

"I'm sorry, Tariq. Temptation, that temptation is indeed too great, the book says that the power of the rune can even exceed that of many countries! Darkhorn nodded at Tariq, then turned to his companions who were glaring at him and smiled helplessly, "Don't look at me like that, aren't you all such greedy guys!" ”

"Leave that alone. After we get out, we'll settle the score. Tariq said coldly to Dark Corner and Sivir.

As a team leader, the safety of everyone in the team is put ahead of the absolute interest.

"This book is a holy relic of the Holy Trinity. All the white faces are there to protect the existence of this book. If the book had left the temple, it would have collapsed and the Holy Trinity would never be found again. Dark Corner reminded.

Sivir glanced at the dark corner, and then said, "Well, since this book is so important, then, Tariq, let it go for you." ”

Sivir walked over to Tariq and was about to hand him the bag.

Tariq nodded. He reached out to catch Sivir's bag.

"You...... You! ”

Tariq suddenly roared in disbelief.

He had a dagger stuck in his abdomen, and Sivir was looking at him, smiling apologetically.

"This dagger is for you. Good luck and escape as well. Sivir said lightly, and then leaped from the high platform.

Tariq was chilling, blood spilling from under his armor, but his heart was colder than his body. As if he had fallen into an ice cave, the cold wind quickly made him shiver and his face pale.

"Sivir? Do you want to chase her? A companion shouted at a loss.

"She snatched the golden book? She wants to swallow the most powerful rune to herself? Another companion chimed in.

"Look! It's going to collapse! One of his companions cried out in horror, and then saw that huge stones began to fall from the top of the towering temple, and the magnificent temple of the Holy Trinity began to fall apart and fall apart.

"Impossible! You're a liar! Alex, who had always admired Sivir, cried out angrily. The great Sivir would not have done such a thing! ”

"Sivir? Interesting. A mysterious smile appeared on Yan's face.

"Your story is indeed a bit outrageous, uncle." He Luo stared at Affleck and smiled, "Didn't Tariq become a Jewel Knight later?" And in all the legends about Sivir, there has never been a part where she alone swallows powerful runes. ”

"I'm telling the truth." Affleck looked at the young men in front of him seriously, "Indeed, Tariq and they escaped. But the only companions left were him and Vignet. And Sivir, who escaped, found the rune, that is, in that year, he was originally just a relatively powerful mercenary but suddenly became a powerful hero. She joined Noxus in order to avoid Tariq and Demacia. And then began her legendary life. ”

"Affleck, you didn't drink a bar? As if it were true, you're better than the bards. Quinn patted Affleck on the shoulder.

"What I said is true." Affleck said again seriously, "I was there. ”

"What?" Everyone exclaimed again.

Affleck lifted his silver-white hair back and turned his head. Then everyone saw that he had a bulging bone in the back of his head, like a unicorn's horn.

"I'm the Dark Corner." Affleck's voice became distant, "I was greedy for a moment, but I have lived in guilt all my life. And the most greedy is Sivir, but she has become the triumvirate of Tiamat, the most powerful and powerful king in this world. ”
