If you want to find ruins or tombs in the desert, a good guide is essential.
A good guide is not only a guide who determines the direction and guides the road, but more importantly, the guide has a better understanding of the local natural and cultural environment and can deal with problems that outsiders cannot cope with.
For Lux and Ino, Kalya is their guide. With Kalya's guidance and response, they can navigate safely even in deserts with extremely harsh natural conditions.
The same principle applies to Cassiopeia and Elise.
Although Cassiopeia knew where the target was, how to get there and how to deal with problems along the way all needed a reliable guide to solve.
There are roads everywhere in the desert.
But it can also be said that there is no road at all.
From Nasramei to the legendary tomb of the god who "protected the empress who ascended to the throne", it is a thousand-mile desert journey. If you embark on the journey without a guide who is familiar with the desert, you will be risking your life!
Unfortunately, this journey was so dangerous that the old people were unwilling to try it easily. In the end, Cassiopeia and Elise had no choice but to follow the guidance of a guide who was unwilling to take the job.
The broker contacted the man who claimed that "as long as you give money, you can do anything."
This man's name is Sivir, and his most well-known identity is that he is a mercenary.
……………………
According to the broker's agreement, Cassiopeia and Elise found Sivir in a gorgeously decorated tavern. When the two came here, the drinkers in the tavern gathered in a circle and were shouting.
Xiao Miao placed his bet, and the objects of his bet were a few people in the crowd who were having a drink.
This is an asymmetrical drinking party, with only one person on one side and four people on the other side.
The lone person wore a light leather armor and had long straight black hair that was rare in Shurima. There were not many scattered decorations on her body, but on her forehead protector and wrist guards,
, shoulder armor, breastplate, belt and other places are all inlaid with dazzling gems.
Cassiopeia made a rough estimate and found that the extremely pure emerald gem inlaid in the middle of her forehead protector alone cost more than a three thousand gold double-headed eagle.
Or without considering the historical and cultural value it may have.
In addition to the various gemstones on her body, her leather armor also has many patterns carefully outlined with gold threads. Although they are all common Shurima images such as eagles and long snakes, looking at the workmanship and pattern design, it is probably a waste of time.
Big price.
Cassiopeia and Elise looked at each other, and at the same time they understood why the broker said that Sivir was "you can tell at a glance that he is the richest one, and it is absolutely impossible to admit his mistake" - maybe there is someone among the drinkers present.
Richer than her, but definitely not as ostentatious as her.
As for the four people on the other side who were drinking with Sivir...
Judging from their red noses and big bellies, they must be four elderly drunkards.
Amid the shouts of the drinkers around him, Sivir was having a heated exchange with a drunkard.
Seeing that Sivir seemed very busy, Cassiopeia and Elise simply stayed aside. While silently observing her words and deeds, they mentally judged the character traits and reliability of this ace mercenary.
It's a pity that after watching for a long time, they didn't notice Sivir's personality traits at all, but he was very good at drinking. After looking at each other, the two decisively reached a consensus.
In just one hour, Cassiopeia and Elise watched helplessly as Sivir forced three strong men under the table, and the fourth one also drank seven glasses of wine, excused himself to go to the toilet, and then
Never appeared again.
Although Sivir's face was also flushed and he went to the toilet several times, the astonishing amount of alcohol still made both of them secretly smack their lips.
As nobles of Noxus, Cassiopeia and Elise were both frequent guests at noble banquets. There, they were used to seeing table helpers who were talented and professional in fending off drinkers.
Compared to those people, the person in front of me can only be described as outrageous.
Just when the two of them were surprised, and amid the cheers of all the drinkers in the audience, Sivir stood up generously, and with the tavern owner's awkward yet polite smile, he put away the bag he had placed on the bar.
gold.
"It's a pity that I gave you a chance." The corners of her mouth dropped slightly, revealing a smile with obvious sarcasm. "It's a pity that the guys you found are too weak. I'm willing to admit defeat. The relationship between us is
The wine bill is wiped off!"
Hearing these words, the tavern owner's face looked quite ugly. He wanted to speak several times - but in the end he could only nod his head dejectedly, then took out his account book and scrawled it out as if to vent his anger.
Sivir, who watched his name being crossed out, didn't care at all about the malice of the tavern owner's red pen, and finally let out a silver bell-like laugh.
She raised her head like a victorious rooster, turned away from the bar, and then went straight into the crowd of people who had just placed their bets.
"Did you make a lot of money?" Sivir found the guy who opened the deal, and put his strong arm directly on the other person's shoulder, "I had a good drink today and was in a good mood. I don't care how much you personally pressed, but the pumper
That part will be divided in half when we meet!"
As she said that, she opened the bag of money she had just withdrawn, spread it out in front of her, and looked at the guy in front of her with a half-smile who used her own name to open the market.
Facing Sivir opening the money bag in front of him, the other party's expression was a little uncomfortable - although the odds are dynamically calculated, he can earn money no matter Sivir wins or loses, but the gold coins he just got will be met soon.
Split in half?
He wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to speak to Sivir no matter what - in the end, he could only obediently take out his profits and pour half of the gold coins into Sivir's purse.
Sivir picked up the money bag, weighed it in his hand, then nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking to this guy.
Then, she hung the money bag on her waist, looked around the crowd, and walked straight to Cassiopeia and Elise's table.
"Are you the one with the big job?" Sivir sat carelessly on a chair next to him, his straight and slender legs crossed on the table, "He should have told you about my rules.
Right? 50-50 split, no conditions."
"I said it." Cassiopeia smiled, "But 50/50 is not a small price, and I don't know if you are worth it."
"Oh? Is it worth it?" Sivir raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a sexy blush appeared on his light brown skin. "It's really interesting. Is there anyone in Naslam who wants to try my cross blade?"
"Just to be on the safe side." Cassiopeia continued to smile, "Believe me, this is a big deal - and if it goes well, there may be more than one."
