Legends of Runeterra

Walking inside the ruins, the top that is dozens of meters high makes people feel the majesty of the building even more.

Li En felt like he and his companions had strayed into a land of giants, but on second thought, considering that the ancient Shurima Ascendants were taller than the city walls, it was normal for the ruins to be built like this.

After passing through the empty hall, everyone came to a slightly shorter room. There was only some garbage around and some strange marks on the wall.

"Samira, do you know what these marks on the wall mean?"

"Oh, these! They were originally murals, but I heard that some people in Piltover like to collect these things, so they were pried off piece by piece and taken away!"

"This... has really been explored thoroughly!"

Li En couldn't find the right words for a moment and could only use "exploration" to describe this behavior.

"This is not surprising in Shurima. At first, everyone went for gold and silver treasures, then books and records. Since Piltover became rich, the furniture in the ruins also began to be valuable, and finally these murals!

I heard that some people collect the bones of adventurers, hoping to sell them to their families at a high price, but you know, those who do this are basically people with no family ties and nowhere else to go!"

Samira shrugged her shoulders and slowly introduced the situation to Li En.

Li En nodded slightly. This act of selling his cultural products abroad reminded him of his past lives.

Of course, he knew that there was no comparison between the two. The Shurimans did their best to survive, while the latter only made ill-gotten gains.

...

The group walked and strolled, gradually going deeper into the ruins.

"Oh, fuck!"

The young mercenary walking in front stopped and then rubbed his feet hard on the ground.

The others stood on guard while Lee En and Samira stepped forward.

"Ed! What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Boss. I just stepped in a pile of poop!"

Ed pointed to an unnameable object beside him, his face full of embarrassment.

Samira brought the lamp close to the ground and looked at it carefully.

"It looks like sheep dung, and it's quite fresh, from just the past two days. I guess a lost sheep got in here by mistake!"

She raised her head and found that Li En was looking into the distance in confusion, listening to something from time to time.

"What's wrong, Lee En?"

"I'm not sure, let's go over there and take a look first!"

After Li En finished speaking, everyone followed his instructions and went deeper into the cave.

Soon, a pile of broken ruins mixed with yellow sand appeared in front of everyone.

"It looks like a dead end!" Samira kicked the sand under her feet. "Do you want to change direction and continue exploring?"

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Li En's face was filled with more doubts. After a moment of silence, he said, "No, let's go back!"

"Okay, it's up to you!"

...

When everyone came out of the ruins, they were shocked to find that it had already darkened.

After returning to the camp, Li En sat in front of his own campfire, looking at the dancing flames in front of him, slightly dazed.

"System, scan my current status!"

"Ding! Scanning...Scan completed!"

"How about it?"

"Ding! Everything is normal, no problems have been found yet!"

After hearing the system's prompt, Li En's mood improved a little, but his doubts increased.

"Snapped!"

Li En was awakened and found Samira standing in front of him with her hands clasped together. The noise just now was caused by her.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Hahaha! Here's a date for you. It's very sweet!"

Samira threw a brown fruit to Li En and sat down next to him.

"Click!"

Li En took a bite, and the fresh fragrance and rich sweetness of the fruit filled his tongue, relaxing his somewhat irritable mind.

"How sweet!"

"Yes, this fruit is the only love that the land of Shurima has given us!" Samira said proudly.

"Did you find anything this afternoon? I noticed you were restless since you came back."

Li En was silent for a while, then looked into Samira's emerald eyes: "I'm going to tell you something, don't make it public, and don't be afraid!"

"Of course, I'm a mercenary, professionally trained! I'll keep it absolutely confidential, and I'm not afraid!"

"Okay! When we reached the depths of the ruins this afternoon, we suddenly heard a sound in our ears! The volume was not loud, but it was very noisy, as if thousands of people were talking. When I listened carefully, it seemed to be just pure noise!"

"Huh? But I didn't hear anything at all!" Samira suddenly realized, "So the road you took us on was to find the source of the sound!"

"Yes, it's a dead end!" Li En said with some regret, "After walking a little further, the sound disappeared."

"From what you said, there are three possibilities: First, claustrophobia, but judging from your appearance, that possibility can be ruled out!

Second, you are lucky, there may be magical items in the ruins that resonate with you! But to be honest, the Bianca ruins have been explored by countless people for hundreds of years, so this possibility is really small.

Third, what I least want is for you to trigger some kind of mechanism and be cursed!"

"Ah? But I don't feel uncomfortable!"

"The curse of the ancient ruins is not that simple!"

The more Samira spoke, the uglier her expression became, and she stood up and walked back unconsciously.

Suddenly, she stopped, stared at Li En for a few seconds, and finally stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, and took out a amulet from her arms.

The amulet was placed on Li En's forehead, and he could clearly feel the other person's body temperature and fragrance.

Probably guessing what Samira was going to do, Li En subconsciously wanted to stop her to avoid wasting such a precious thing.

"Don't move!"

Looking at the other person's gentle eyes filled with guilt and self-blame, Li En finally chose to let the other person do what he wanted.

Waving to Safet and others beside him, Li En sat quietly on the blanket.

“$$%!~”

As Samira spoke an ancient and strange language, the amulet glowed slightly, and a warm feeling spread from Li En's forehead to his whole body.

One minute later.

"Hoo~!"

Samira let out a long sigh, let go of the amulet, and sat down next to Li En, feeling a little exhausted, with her head resting on his shoulder.

Li En subconsciously put his arm around Samira's shoulders to prevent her from falling backwards.

Samira was slightly stunned as she didn't expect the other party to be so proactive. Then she adjusted her posture slightly and leaned on Li En's strong chest with peace of mind.

"It should be fine now, but just in case, remember to have a mage who is proficient in curses check it out after returning to Noxus!"

"Well, thank you!"

Li En didn't say much, but kept Samira's kindness in his heart.

"a little cold!"

Samira had just finished speaking when the expensive blanket that Cassiopeia had prepared for Lee En was draped over her.

Samira rubbed against Li En's arms, feeling his pleasant scent, and closed her eyes.

...

As for the others, they were tasting the food in their hands with serious faces.
