The dilapidated ruins were huge. It was very likely that it was once the palace of some powerful being, so even though the experienced Di Haruo was being urged by the Noxas people, he still moved forward carefully, one step at a time. From time to time, he would use some stones and other things to test out places that might have traps. Especially when he passed through a long corridor, his heart almost jumped out of his chest in an instant.
"It's really a building from that era. This is bad."
He looked at the murals in the long corridor, as well as the iconic portrait. He couldn't help but lick his lips, because he had already recognized whose palace this was. Therefore, he had a very bad feeling about this.
"Mad King Angmar …"
It was the treasure trove of Lord Shurima, who was known for his tyrannical but powerful military. Angmar, who started out as a bandit and slowly became a king, built his kingdom on a vast oasis in the middle of the desert. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the oasis was in the middle of the desert, he plundered everywhere in search of treasures that could prolong his life and rule. And his kingdom did indeed exist for nearly a hundred years because of the oasis. Therefore, his palace, or rather, his treasure trove, also had a large number of mechanisms and mechanisms, and also …
"Traps."
Di Haluo stretched out his hand and grabbed a Noxus people who were walking away in a hurry. The moment he did that, a row of spears suddenly shot out from the ground and almost pierced the Noxus people into a sieve.
"Damn it! What's going on?! "
The Noxus people who were almost killed screamed in horror as the floor tiles slowly slid back to their original position and the spears slowly retracted. Moreover, he touched his own body in a panic, as if he was injured. Although his actions were funny, his companions didn't laugh because they were all experienced explorers, but they didn't discover this fatal trap.
This was unbelievable because they had done this kind of mission many times. They shouldn't have been fooled by such a simple trap.
"Mad King Angmar's treasure palace … To be honest, you've found the right person. If you had found someone else, you wouldn't have been able to get what you want."
Di Haluo said proudly, but what he didn't say was that the Desert Remembers Who, and Sivir, the apprentice he had always been careful of, could also lead the Noxians to their goal, but he definitely wouldn't say that. The Noxus people fell silent and listened to him quietly.
"It's said that the reason why Mad King Angmar was able to establish his own kingdom so quickly was because he had the help of a Celestial Warrior. Therefore, the traps in his treasure palace are also enchanted by the Celestial Warrior."
Di Haluo said slowly. The meaning of his words was clear, and the Noxus people's answer was also very clear.
"Double the reward."
Initially, they had paid a large sum of gold coins in exchange for the lives of the mercenaries to help them clear traps, perform troublesome magic rituals, and lead the way. But now, when it came to the mysterious ancient power, this guide who had dealt with such situations many times and his mercenaries were a force to be reckoned with.
After the Noxus people stated their conditions, another female Noxus people also raised her hood and offered her price. Di Haluo also discovered that this woman's hands were rather slender. Apart from some undetectable calluses on her index finger, thumb, and middle finger, it was obvious that she often held a pen and not a sword.
The conditions she offered were also rather tempting.
"Not only that, but you can also get a good channel for missions in Noxus."
Di Haluo nodded in satisfaction. The reason why he introduced himself like this was to show his value. Now that the employer had spoken, it was time for him to show his abilities.
He whistled, and a few mercenaries walked over and walked with him. They carefully checked every inch of the bricks and crevices, looking for possible traps. They also marked the traps that they found so that they wouldn't accidentally step on them when they came back. Yes, treasure hunting wasn't something that could be found immediately. Generally speaking, it would take at least half a month to find what one was looking for.
Although their progress had slowed down, the Noxus people were very satisfied because the path that Di Haluo took was indeed free of danger. They could walk on it without worrying about traps that would suddenly appear out of nowhere. However, Di Haluo's forehead was sweating profusely because they had only passed through a corridor, and the mercenaries beside him were killed by a trap that they had seen before.
"I should have brought Sivir here."
Di Haruo, who was moving forward, was a little annoyed. Even though he was wary of this apprentice whose progress was so fast that he doubted his own life, he had to admit that this apprentice was really too outstanding. His perception of danger far exceeded his own. Most importantly, she had an astonishing talent for discovering all sorts of traps in ruins and tombs. Moreover, she was extremely lucky.
She was so lucky that one would wonder if she was the illegitimate daughter of the God of Luck.
However, since he had infiltrated this palace, he couldn't simply summon her here. Otherwise …
She would realize that he wasn't as outstanding as she thought.
Di Haluo thought about it and focused on dealing with the traps in front of him. He couldn't help but want to complete this mission without relying on Sivir. He wanted to improve his image in Sivir's heart and allow this talented girl to continue working for him. This was a little thought that he had. It was also a choice that he made to maintain the stability of his mercenary group and his own status. Of course, Sivir's beauty and voluptuous figure were also the reasons why Di Haluo wanted to complete this task himself.
However, what he didn't know was that as the traps in the palace were destroyed one by one, the sleeping guardians in the palace were slowly awakening. Unlike the other ruins that Di Haluo had been to, as long as he didn't trigger the traps of the other guardians, the guardians wouldn't move. The palace that he was in now was the type where the other guardians would swarm over once the traps were triggered.
That was because this place was maintained by someone.
