Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

In the center of the ruins of the City of the Sun, Sivir's mercenaries and Noxian guards were looking for an entrance to the underground.

After more than two hours, a somewhat impatient Cassiopeia walked towards Sivir who was squatting on the ground in the distance, looking for something.

She walked almost silently, a habit she had developed since childhood under the tutelage of her father, Du Cacault.

It was a pity that Cassiopeia had no talent as an assassin, and was subsequently given up by her father to concentrate on training her sister Caterina.

Although she heard that her father later adopted a child named Talon in Noxus, it no longer mattered.

After all, she had made up her mind to kill her father, who had betrayed the Empire, with her own hands, once she gained the power to influence Noxus' secret war.

Cassiopeia walked up behind Sivir silently and tapped her on the shoulder. The shocked opponent immediately grabbed her hand and made a counter-grab gesture.

"--ah!"

Sivir heard Cassiopeia's scream, and immediately stopped his instinctive reaction and let him go.

"Miss Du Cacao, why do you walk without making any noise?" She frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction.

Cassiopeia rubbed her stinging shoulders and arms, "Who knew you would have such a big reaction?"

Hearing what she said, Sivir chuckled angrily, "I heard that the Du Cacao family is a notorious assassin family. You should be very clear about the consequences of silently approaching a person who relies on fighting for a living, right? ?”

Well, you will be proud for a while longer...

A gleam of coldness flashed across Cassiopeia's eyes, and she cursed secretly in her heart.

Then, she deliberately showed a helpless expression and explained: "Sorry, I don't have the talent for fighting, so I didn't learn much about assassins from my father..."

"Now you have learned some experience." Seeing Cassiopeia's intention to apologize, Sivir's dissatisfied tone became a little softer, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"I just wanted to ask how the progress is going." Cassiopeia's face straightened. "When we worked together before, it didn't take you so long to find the entrance to the mausoleum."

"Miss Du Cacao, don't forget that you provided the specific location before."

Sivir paused, "If you can narrow the scope for us this time like you did before, maybe we will have gone underground by now."

Cassiopeia opened her mouth, but in the end she was unable to refute Sivir, and sighed: "Forget it, try to wait until the sun sets..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a mercenary in the distance shouting excitedly: "Boss, we have found the entrance!"

Sivir and Cassiopeia looked at each other and immediately ran in the direction of the source of the sound.

The two of them jumped down from the rugged high ground and arrived at the entrance along with several other mercenaries and Noxian guards.

At this time, a dozen mercenaries had already started to clear a small part of the debris covering the tomb door.

The entrance to the underground is made of golden smooth marble, showing the shape of a triangular pyramid.

The tip of it exposed on the surface is at least two meters high, and most of it is still buried under the yellow sand.

Cassiopeia, who had a keen attention, noticed the traces on the metal gate in this part of the ground, and her heart tightened, "Why are there traces of excavation here?"

"It must have been an expedition that didn't bring all the tools and tried to dig it out... Apparently, they didn't succeed."

Sivir shook his head, and while calling more men to get tools to dig down, he said with an indifferent attitude:

"Don't worry, if those people have been in, the door here has been pried open or exploded... Anyway, it is in various forms. The expedition team from Pi City has always been full of precision instruments."

Despite Sivir's comfort, Cassiopeia's brows were still furrowed.

That Li Lin couldn't be trusted. The almost god-like power in the tomb could not tolerate any mistakes.

Under the rotation of a group of more than ten people including Noxian guards, they finally excavated the entire mausoleum and the triangular pyramid door that was four to five meters high before the sun completely set.

Cassiopeia reached out and rubbed the closed steel door carved with various complex and mysterious patterns, "It's different from the mausoleum door dug before..."

The flowing golden sand has not left many traces of time on its surface, and the pictures on it are still clearly visible.

Among them, the most obvious ones are the eagle pattern symbolizing the Shurima royal family and the golden disk symbolizing the power of the sun and the gods.

Sivir stared at the pattern on the door in a daze.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled what Li Lin had said to her before.

Bloodline, and fate...

Sivir turned his head slightly and glanced at Chalikar, who was carrying him behind him, out of the corner of his eye.

After a long time, she responded to what Cassiopeia just said:

"Of course, this is the mausoleum where emperors and ascended ones are buried together... The ones I took you to dig before were only the tombs of some nobles, and they are definitely not comparable to this."

Cassiopeia was very excited and couldn't help but urge: "Quick, let your men pry the door open!"

Why do you feel like this Noxian girl is different from before?

Sivir frowned secretly, but did not show any abnormality on his face, and asked his men to do as Cassiopeia said.

"Let them do it. It will take a lot of effort to completely open this kind of door. Don't expect it tonight."

She took out the dry food wrapped in cloth from the satchel she carried with her and took a bite, then motioned Cassiopeia to go with her to rest by the fire.

"Go ahead, I'm not hungry now." Cassiopeia stared at the mercenaries who pried open the door and replied without looking back.

There is always an uncomfortable feeling...

Her purpose was not just to target the various treasures and magic items in the tomb as usual.

Cassiopeia's behavior made Sivir even more suspicious.

She stared at the young woman's back, a trace of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

Forget it, never mind her...

It's better to end this mission quickly and get the money to go back and enjoy life.

After thinking about it carefully, Sivir shook his head, dismissed all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and sat down in front of the fire to eat his dinner.

A peaceful night together.

In the early morning of the next day, Sivir, who finally had a good sleep without any nightmares, was woken up by a scream.

"What happened?!"

She quickly got up from the sleeping bag, picked up Chalikar who was pressed under the sleeping bag, and looked in the direction of the source of the scream.

In the direction of the mausoleum gate, several mercenaries who were on duty and on sentry staggered to the ground.

At the same time, a thick black smoke emerged from a small gap in the metal door and quickly dissipated into the air under the sunlight.

It seems that these mercenaries who have lost their breath of life broke through the door this morning and were killed by the poisonous gas coming out of it...

"Everyone, wake up! There is poisonous gas in the tomb, put on a breathing filter!"

Sivir loudly reminded the others who had just been awakened by the screams, and quickly took out a simple breathing filter bought from a Piltover merchant from his bag and put it on his face.

Cassiopeia, who was sleeping not far from her and had just emerged from her sleeping bag, took the breathing filter device from her hand and put it on, then walked to her side with a solemn expression.

"Why is there poisonous gas here?! This has never happened in the tombs and ruins we dug before."

"It's normal to have this kind of situation in the tombs of emperors and ascendants. Otherwise, why would we always carry this kind of filtering thing?"

Sivir's voice through the breathing filter seemed a little loud.

Her green emerald eyes glanced at the minions who had turned into mummies at the door, and then glanced at the cross blade in her hand, but she was not as relaxed as she appeared on the surface.

This has never happened before when I was hired by Elder Nashrame to dig the tomb where another emperor and the Ascended One were buried together.

Ominous omen...

After tens of seconds of silence, Sivir looked at Cassiopeia beside him, "Now it seems that there is no ventilation inside the mausoleum, or we triggered a certain mechanism...

"These black poisonous gases are probably just part of it. I think it's best to wait for another two or three days for the gas inside..."

Before Sivir finished speaking, Cassiopeia raised her hand to interrupt her, "No...continue to pry the door."

"Then the lives of my men?!"

"How about doubling the original contract price?"

Sivir frowned and stared into Cassiopeia's emotionless eyes.

After a long time, she realized that this guy seemed to be serious. She sighed slightly and called a few bolder men to continue working.

Hope everything goes well...
