"Go ahead, I'm not hungry now." Cassiopeia stared at the mercenaries who were trying to pry the door open and answered without turning her head.
There's always an uncomfortable feeling...
Her purpose was not just to target the various treasures and magical items in the tomb as usual.
Cassiopeia's behavior deepened Sivir's doubts.
She stared at the young woman's back, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
Never mind her...
It’s better to finish this mission quickly, take the money and go back to enjoy life.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiweier shook her head, dismissed all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and sat down in front of the fire to eat dinner.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, after finally getting a good night's sleep without a nightmare, Sivir was awakened by a scream.
"What happened?!"
She quickly got up from the sleeping bag, picked up Charikar who was pressed under the sleeping bag, and looked towards the source of the scream.
In the direction of the mausoleum gate, several mercenaries who were working as shift workers and keeping watch were stumbling to the ground.
At the same time, a cloud of thick black smoke emerged from a tiny gap in the metal gate and quickly dissipated into the air under the sunlight.
It seems these lifeless mercenaries broke through the gate this morning and were killed by the poisonous gas coming out...
"Everyone, wake up! There's poisonous gas in the tomb. Put on your breathing filters!"
While loudly reminding the others who had just been awakened by the screams, Sivir quickly took out the simple breathing filter she bought from a Piltover merchant from her bag and put it on her face.
Cassiopeia, who was sleeping not far from her and had just crawled out of her sleeping bag, took the breathing filter device from her subordinate and put it on, then walked to her side with a serious expression.
"How could there be poisonous gas here?! This has never happened in the tombs and ruins we have excavated before."
"This is quite normal in the tombs of emperors and ascended beings. Otherwise, why would we always carry these filtering devices?"
Sivir's voice sounded a little muffled through the breathing filter.
Her emerald green eyes swept over the subordinates who had turned into mummies at the door, and then she looked at the cross blade in her hand, but she was not as relaxed as she appeared on the surface.
This situation had never occurred before when I was hired by Elder Nashrameh to dig up the tomb of another emperor and an ascended being.
An ominous sign...
After a few seconds of silence, Sivir looked at Cassiopeia beside her. "It seems that there's no ventilation in the mausoleum, or maybe we've triggered a mechanism...
"This black poison gas is probably just a part of it. I think it's best to wait for another two or three days until the gas inside..."
Before Sivir could finish her words, Cassiopeia raised her hand to interrupt her, "No... continue to pry the door open."
"What about the lives of my men?!"
"How about doubling the original contract price?"
Sivir frowned and stared into Cassiopeia's emotionless eyes.
After a long while, she realized that this guy seemed to be serious, so she sighed slightly and called a few brave men to continue working.
Hope everything goes well...
