The direction of thinking that combines geography, humanities, and history depends largely on the height of the thinker's own vision.
Just like Lux at this time, after comparing the glory of the Shurima Empire in the past and the barren wasteland of Shurima now, she naturally had a lot of thoughts about understanding nature and transforming it.
Unlike Lux, on the other side of the Barren Hills, although Ezreal also learned a lot about the folk customs of Shurima from Kassadin, what he thought more about was "This
Where in this mountain range are there more likely to be ruins left by the Shuriman people."
Under Kalya's guidance, Lux will understand why Tellishni and Bergun defected to Noxus because of the converging winds of the Barren Hills and Kalduga Mountains.
But what Ezreal saw was that "the wind should be lighter in the northwest foothills of the Barren Hills, and the ruins of the Shurima Empire are more likely to be preserved here."
Of course, considering that Xiao Huangmao is really thinking about archeology and not tomb robbing, the two ways of thinking can only be regarded as "not seeking political affairs without being in his position", and there is no obvious difference between them.
In comparison, the team led by Cassiopeia, Elise and Sivir, who will be the first to arrive at the Barren Hill Mountains, are really here to rob the tomb.
Of these three guys, Cassiopeia and Elise needless to say. The two people who made a disgrace in Zaun urgently need to prove their abilities to the organization, even if this time they explore the Tomb of the Desert God.
It's just an appetizer, but they still have to go all out.
As for Sivir... this mercenary boss who only recognizes money and not people, based on the principle of half-share when meeting, is already a shareholder of this tomb robbing team. With her greed, it is naturally impossible to give up any possibility.
harvest!
Therefore, when the "professional team" they led arrived at the Huangqiu Mountains, the members of the team didn't even have time to rest in the oasis at the foot of the mountain for one more day. At the joint request of these three "shareholders", they began to get busy.
The Huangqiu Divine Tomb is an ancient legend that is widely circulated in Nasramei.
One version of the story says that a loyal guard who ascended to the throne is buried here. At the last moment of his life, he returned to Nasramei, the place where Setaka was born, on the barren hills and mountains not too far from the city.
, spent the last period of time.
There is also a version that says that this loyal guard did not return here alive, but died on the battlefield. Only his coffin was buried in the barren hills and mountains according to his request.
But no matter which legend it is, the result points to a powerful being buried in the Huangqiu Mountains. His identity is likely to be a warrior of the gods - and this legend is also named "Barren Qiu Divine Tomb".
So, here comes the problem.
The barren hills and mountains stretch for thousands of miles, sloping from the coast into the depths of the Dasai Desert. How to find a tomb in such a long range of mountains?
You know, no matter which version of the legend it is, the Setaka guard did not carry out the tomb with great fanfare, but chose to bid farewell to this world quietly and alone, so there are no markers on the barren hills and mountains!
However, this did not trouble Cassiopeia at all.
During the time he was lurking in Nasramei, he spent almost all his energy on the study of folklore. After becoming interested in the Huangqiu Divine Tomb, she even asked Tai Lung to help collect a large number of
material.
Although these materials are mixed with many unfounded records of drunken bragging, as well as exaggerated boasts in personal biographies, Cassiopeia, who has served in the Adventurers Association, has long been good at identifying bragging.
experience.
After sorting out the false and preserving the true, she quickly locked onto a highlighted area.
This area is located at the northwest foothills of the Huangqiu Mountains. Although it does not have an official name yet, it undoubtedly looks like the place where the Huangqiu God's Tomb may be hidden.
Many people had entered this mountain col to hunt for treasure, but these people either found nothing and returned empty-handed, or they had accidents and went crazy. In Cassiopeia's view, this was obviously the most suspicious situation.
More importantly, she also found a record about the mining of blood crystals.
More than ten years ago, there was a craze for blood spar in Nasramei - this red gemstone, also known as the Tears of Setaka, was sold at an extremely high price during that time, and many businessmen organized teams one after another.
Go to the Barren Hills to mine gems.
Unfortunately, it was just an unsuccessful hype in the final analysis. After the price of blood crystal fell, the merchants naturally abandoned the mine that had not been built yet.
However, the exploration as a preparatory project for mining blood crystals has already achieved results. At that time, the big businessman of Nasramei (it is said that there was the shadow of the port supervisor Saga behind him) once formed a quite professional inspection team.
, rushed to the Huangqiu Mountains for mining exploration.
The prospecting records are top secret, but with the help of Tyrone, Cassiopeia still saw a copy.
Among them, there were obvious traces of disharmony in the mining records of the place that Cassiopeia had suspected, and Setaka and her loyal guards were vaguely involved!
There is no doubt that that is the information about the Huangqiu Divine Tomb!
Perhaps considering that the legal system of Nasramei came from the "descendants of Setaka", the female port supervisor finally sealed the record and did not disturb her "ancestors".
The female port governor was not interested in the tomb of the god on the barren hill, but Cassiopeia was very interested!
A mausoleum of an ascended person, there must be enough good things in it for Black Rose to ignore any past grudges!
……………………
What Cassiopeia didn't know was that the current female port governors of Naslamae not only had no interest in the mausoleum, but even avoided it like snakes and scorpions.
In fact, unlike the claimed "descendants of Setaka", the port governors of Nashrame are not the descendants of ascended military queens. Their true identities are the tombkeepers of Setaka...
When the Darkin War was raging, the first governor of Nashrame wittily presided over the commemorative ceremony of the Ascended Martial Queen, and regarded himself as the "Gravekeeper of the Ascended Martial Queen", so that the darkin who fought hard finally chose to sell themselves.
In order to save face, he let Nasramei go, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of this city.
It wasn't until the Darkin War ended and the Darkin completely disappeared that the governor of Nashrame changed his identity, from the tombkeeper of the ascended Martial Queen to the descendant of the ascended Martial Queen!
It is for this reason that even if their family has passed down the location of Setaka's mausoleum from generation to generation, they will still only protect it silently and will never take the initiative to discover it - if something is found that proves that they are not descendants of Setaka.
Evidence, that would be embarrassing.
It is precisely for this reason that after the relevant information about the Huangqiu Divine Tomb was discovered and the mining team found some faint evidence, the mining operation was temporarily suspended.
The port governors of Nasramae do not need to find any relics and technologies from the Shuriman Empire, because they are already the emperors of Nasramae.
Today's Shurima is closer to the wasteland after the collapse of civilization, and as one of the top wasteland leaders, the main task of the port governor of Nasramel is not to revive civilization, but to maintain rule.
