Sivir told a very classic Shurima joke, but unfortunately, after she finished telling it, the stone box did not move at all, without any reaction.
"What a nonsense!" Others were laughing in low voices, but the folklorist glared at Sivir with dissatisfaction. "They all say that this is an early tomb of ancient Shurima. The joke you tell is too new.
,How can it be useful?!"
Sivir was stunned when she heard what the other party said. She blinked and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the other party seemed to be absolutely right...
If the age of the tomb was much earlier than the collapse of the Shurima Empire, then the owner of the tomb would certainly not understand the point of the hellish joke about Xerath betraying Azir.
However, this does not mean that Sivir can accept criticism calmly. She glared back fiercely, and then showed a bad smile: "Okay, then you can tell me something!"
The folklorist cleared his throat, and then took out what looked like a dictionary from his backpack. While flipping through it quickly, he whispered some syllables that sounded a little weird to others.
Cassiopeia walked over curiously, only to find that she knew almost every word in the dictionary, but she couldn't understand the pronunciation marked in Common Language at all.
"What is this?" she asked curiously, "Isn't that how Shurima is spoken?"
"This is the pronunciation of Ancient Shuriman!" The folklorist continued to mutter and reluctantly replied, "If you want to open this box, you must tell a joke in Ancient Shuriman!"
Hearing what he said, everyone showed a look of surprise - yes, since this tomb may be older than the collapse of the Shurima Empire, it means that when the tomb was built, the language of Shurima was still ancient.
Shurima!
Although Shurima's writing has not changed much over thousands of years, the meaning of the writing and the pronunciation of the writing have undergone earth-shaking changes with the collapse of the empire and the integration of cultures.
It can be said that ancient Shuriman and modern Shuriman use almost the same words, but the grammatical details and speaking habits are completely different.
In this case, if you really tell a joke according to the requirements on the stone box, it should indeed be in ancient Shurima.
After thinking about this, everyone showed expressions of "See, this is professional."
Upon noticing this gaze, the folklorist also subconsciously puffed up his chest, showing a somewhat reserved pride unique to professionals.
After a quarter of an hour, he finally prepared his joke, cleared his throat, and told a popular joke in ancient Shuriman to the stone box.
However, it is a pity that this ordinary joke, told in this "professional" way, has lost its funny core and appears to be arrogant.
The result was that the stone box remained motionless and unresponsive.
The atmosphere became awkward again.
One moment, everyone was silently praising this "professional" in their hearts. The next moment, everyone looked with disdain on their faces and began to tell all kinds of jokes.
At first, everyone wanted to tell some jokes that were not related to the era or society, and would be funny at any time, but then they saw that the stone box had no reaction at all, and the style of the joke gradually began to go astray.
Ironic, metaphorical, colorful...
Various jokes took turns, trying to open the stone box, but no matter what they said, the box remained motionless and unresponsive.
As night fell, everyone who had been telling jokes all afternoon was finally thirsty and couldn't tell any more. After studying together, they finally decided not to worry about it and just find the rope tomorrow and pull it out.
The entire stone box was hauled away!
Although this stone box weighs at least ten tons, considering that there is sand all the way from here to Naslamei, as long as it is tied firmly with ropes, it can be dragged back!
Now, let everyone take a rest - these dirty jokes did not open the stone box, but made many people laugh stupidly all afternoon, and only then did they realize that laughing too much is also very tiring.
matter.
……………………
The night is dark.
Although it was confirmed that this tomb should be safe, for the sake of safety, everyone still chose to rest in the tent in the mountain col.
What if there are any time-related mechanisms or traps in this tomb?
When snoring sounded one after another, and the mercenary who had laughed all afternoon rubbed his belly and felt sleepy at the entrance of the tomb, a rope silently hung down from the cliff above the cliff and close to the cliff.
Kassadin and Ezreal, who had been lurking for a long time, finally took action.
At this time, both Kassadin and Ezreal were very anxious.
Although they reacted immediately when the stone wall outside the cliff was exploded this afternoon, they were not in a hurry at that time - because according to normal circumstances, they had to find the entrance to the tomb and the ruins, and then enter the main ruins.
The core or the master's tomb will take at least several days.
Especially this kind of tomb that looks very high-end at first glance. How can it be so easy to get into it?
Therefore, both of them wanted to let these people explore first, wait until they found some doorways and destroyed most of the traps, and then enjoy the results themselves.
However, what they didn't expect was that the team's exploration speed was terrifyingly fast. It didn't take long for them to enter the main tomb chamber!
In this case, Kassadin and Ezreal were both a little dumbfounded. They really never expected that the only stone wall on the outside of this deserted hill tomb was difficult to break through, and the inside of the tomb was almost completely defenseless.
None!
But no matter how anxious the two people were, after all, the expedition team below had a large number of people and professional mercenary guards. They could only hide in the mountain honestly and keep an eye on the situation inside the tomb.
What surprised them was that when these people came out at night, it was as if they came back empty-handed - except for some people holding a few small statues like treasures, the others were empty-handed and didn't seem to find anything.
Upon discovering this, Kassadin and Ezreal looked at each other and made a tacit decision.
Take advantage of the late night and sneak in quietly to take a look!
"Don't you have a special door-opening spell?" Kassadin was a little excited, "That might be the key!"
In this way, after most of the people on the expedition team rested, Kassadin and Ezreal finally took action.
