"The supreme being of the Ascension Gods..."

Knowing Aatrox's identity suddenly reminded Sivir of a lot.

It stands to reason that neither the Ascension God nor the Trifali Council is something that she can touch and conjecture at this stage.

But when these two sides meet one thing, coupled with Sivir's own identity, it is inevitable that he will think a little too much.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's probably the receiver of Captain Sivir's escort."

Cassiopeia pressed closer, his eyes fixed on Sivir.

By this time, she had made almost no secret of her thoughts.

Sivir could easily feel that the other party's intention was the thing she was escorting.

In fact, for Sivir, it is the best choice not to say anything about the lake at this time, after all, it is likely to turn hostile to the empire in the future.

But now that the Book of Ascension has released its mission, a lot of chips have been put on this unknown deal before the price is clearly marked.

In this situation, Sivir is more inclined to be more brutal and demanding.

"Aatrox, indeed, but I don't think it has anything to do with you, Miss Kekao."

Sivir tilted his head slightly, looking at the woman in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

There is no shortage of outstanding people in the empire, and there is no shortage of ambitious people. But not everyone is called Ryan Meredith, at least aside from the task, Cassiopeia in front of her did not make her pay attention to qualifications.

In the face of this unpleasant gaze, Cassiopeia did not mention the emotions in his heart, but on the surface, as if he had not seen it, he still smiled at the corner of his mouth:

"If it really is an object that can revive a lost empire, I can't think of what that object should be, but it must be priceless, no, it is not accurate to say that, maybe it should be called the only one in this world."

"You want me to take it for granted? Or maybe you're playing with it? ”

Sivir raised her eyebrows, and in the surprised eyes of the other party, she directly took out the black box and put it on the table, she pointed to the box very simply:

"It's here, if you can open it, you can do it with you."

Her appearance didn't look like a mercenary escorting items at all, but more like a robber after snatching a treasure.

Cassiopeia looked at the box in silence, of course she couldn't open it, the rune magic on it was performed by His Majesty Ryan himself.

She was only more surprised by Sivir's attitude than the box itself.

After she's clearly revealed her ambition, Sivir's actions seem to say...

As long as she has the ability and can give certain benefits, Sivir will not care at all.

After being silent for a long time, the two looked at each other for a while, and finally Cassiopeia said helplessly:

"I can't open this box, but I know..."

"Boss! There is an accident ahead! ”

Before she could finish speaking, Silo's voice came from outside.

Sivir raised his eyebrows and looked at Cassiopeia with a smile:

"I know what you're thinking, but you're still too young, Miss Quekao, think about it, I'm waiting for you to come up with a reward that will impress me."

With that, she left the camp with a cross-bladed weapon called 'Calikar', and Cassiopeia, who looked inexplicable, stayed inside.

Looking at the already empty tent, Cassiopeia's face suddenly showed relief:

"I seem... It's a bit complicated to think about things. While it's true that I don't have the strength, as a member of the Quekao family, I may have found something that could easily impress you. ”

In her previous plan, she wanted to use emotions and interests to bind Sivir, so that she could slowly let go of the empire and focus on personal interests.

In short, pull it to your side.

But in fact, after really coming into contact with Sivir, she can really understand that this is a person who can do anything for the sake of profit.

The Ascended Pirates have always maintained their status as an Empire, not because they are loyal to the Empire, but because they have the status of an Empire to reap the greatest benefits.

The fact that she was able to transport such a core item for the Empire, and even whose name could be remembered by the Crown, was not because she might be malleable, but also because she was a pawn in the Crown's hand, and her identity was the same as hers.

To deal with such a simple person, she should instead use a more direct method.

It's time for those meaningless temptations and drowsy conversations to come to an end.

With this in mind, Cassiopeia stood up briskly and walked out step by step.

But as soon as she stepped out of the tent, she frowned slightly.

"It smells of blood."

In the tent, she didn't feel it, but after she walked out, a pungent smell of blood wafted into her nostrils.

But this unpleasant and disgusting smell only made her frown slightly, and did not show too much embarrassment, but this appearance made the people of the Ascension Pirate Group more novel.

Silo seemed to have just come up from below, and after a surprised glance at Cassiopeia, he withdrew his gaze, and reported to Sivir in a solemn voice:

"Originally, we planned to rest in the small town of Horqin in front, but something happened to the town, blood flowed all over the ground, and no one in the whole town survived."

"The small town of Horqin... Is it a town that belongs to the Empire? Sivir asked directly.

"Uh... Should? ”

Hearing this question, Xiluo was speechless for a moment.

Before they left the continent of Shurima, he could be sure that the town of Korqin belonged to the Noxian Empire, which was on the front line of the war between the warlords of Shurima and the Empire.

Although it is very chaotic, after all, it is a small town guarded by the empire, how can it encounter such a thing as a slaughtered village.

Because of this anomaly, he didn't even dare to be sure of his guess.

"The town of Korqin originally belonged to the Empire, but was first abandoned by the Empire after the Crown of the Council ordered the line of defense to be contracted. By now, the rest of the towns have been abandoned by the Empire, with the exception of the Nash Lamei port and some towns along the coast. ”

Hearing Cassiopeia's soft voice from the side, the people of the Ascension Pirate Regiment couldn't help but look over.

"Horqin Town is a big town, does the empire give up when it says to give up?" There was anger in Karen's voice.

As the multi-man beast advanced, they could already see the scene in the distance as they stood on it.

There was a dead silence throughout the town, with blood on the earthy ground and countless corpses piled up on the ground.

Looking at this scene, even though she knew that this was definitely an evil act committed by the Shurima people themselves, Karen couldn't help but feel anger against the empire in her heart.

If the Empire were still guarding here, they wouldn't have died...

"When the empire left, there was nothing left here except for the buildings."

Cassiopeia glanced at Karen and said in surprise:

"You should be a Shurima person, and you should know very well that there has been no mercy in this land for thousands of years. The strong dominate the weak, and the weak go into exile everywhere and are eventually slaughtered by another group of strong people. ”

She breathed in the smell of blood in the air, her fists clenched slightly, and she said in a complicated tone:

"Whether it's Shurima or Noxus, as long as they don't become strong, they can be slaughtered like them. It's just that compared to the more brutal Shurima, Noxus will give you a chance to prove yourself. ”

"Isn't everyone able to be strong, and the weak deserve to die?" Karen asked angrily.

At their height, he could clearly see that the corpses below were dressed in simple and shabby clothes, looking like outcasts fleeing the famine.

They may have thought that they could start a new life in the deserted town of Horqin, but unfortunately, it may be the sand thieves or the petty warlords passing by, they are easily captured, the useful are taken away, and the useless are summarily executed.

"yes, the weak don't deserve to die." Cassiopeia glanced at Sivir with a smirk, and said in a flirtatious tone, "So we try our best and do whatever it takes to stay alive and climb as high as we can." On this journey, even if we know that the road ahead is a dead end after all, we will still believe that there will be miracles and opportunities in this world! (To be continued)
