"rustle..."

The sand tickled the cracks in the masonry and slowly flowed down, echoing in their ears.

The middle-aged man frowned and looked straight at Julian with deep eyes.

A few steps in front of him, Julian straightened his back,

The elemental flames jumped repeatedly in the palm of his hand, and he looked into those blue eyes with a somewhat determined look.

After the words fell, the Emperor's Tomb fell into a deep silence, so quiet that even if a pin dropped, you could clearly hear it.

For Julian, this is not an unreasonable resistance, but a silent statement.

Sivir saved his life,

months of adventure,

Even though he had never experienced it personally, just by reading this memory, this sometimes bold, sometimes charming female mercenary leader was enough to leave a deep mark on Yulian's heart.

Unable to save her life, Julian's heart has been filled with regret.

If this regret were not oppressed by external forces,

Perhaps a few years or even ten years after Sivir returns to the embrace of his desert mother, it will gradually become an unforgettable past in Yulian's heart;

But the appearance of middle-aged men changed this.

It was fermented in the constant verbal exchanges and gradually transformed into Yulian's deepest obsession————

'I will protect her after death and will not allow anyone to blaspheme her!'

Although this man's strength may far surpass him,

But he couldn't remain indifferent to the reluctance that remained on Sivir's face, and he couldn't let a person who had saved him and treated him well still not find peace after his death.

‘The road that leads to the top or the abyss’——this is his choice.

Julian is not a cold-tempered person. He cannot be as cold-hearted as his half-mentor Tyrone and can resolutely reject Katarina's intentions;

Nor can we abandon the tenderness in our hearts for the sake of honor, merit and money;

He may look a bit 'silly' like this, but it is undeniable that his stupidity at this moment made the middle-aged man in front of him feel a little fluttering in his heart————

‘There was once such a person beside me,’

'You can live for me and die for me...'

"Together, we have brought the empire to unprecedented prosperity. Your and my achievements are enough to be remembered in history books and praised by thousands of people."

'But why,'

'Would you choose to betray me at the most glorious moment of my life?'

...

"What a good boy!"

Memories of the past came to mind. In the past thousands of years of silence, he had asked this question countless times, but until now, he still couldn't get an answer.

But this did not prevent him from seeing the shadow of the person he once trusted most in the boy in front of him————

"Your Highness, as your most loyal servant, I will dedicate everything I have to you. From now on, your will is my will, and your likes and dislikes are my likes and dislikes... until death!"

The way Julian fought against Sivir was very similar to the way he made the oath at his feet that day————

So serious and so strong.

With feelings about the past in his heart, after a brief silence, the middle-aged man took the lead in choosing to 'admit defeat' when he looked at Julian. He narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the emotions revealed in his eyes, and said softly:

"It seems that if you can't prove something, you won't relax your guard against me."

"snort."

Julian snorted softly but had no desire to answer.

His eyes were still full of vigilance, and the magic energy never stopped flowing.

But this is enough,

From Julian, the man has seen the answer he wants.

The eyes slowly drifted across the faces of Julian and Sivir, and a rare smile appeared on his face full of majesty and magnanimity.

"Come with me!"

Holding the scepter gently, under Julian's gaze,

The middle-aged man slowly turned around, not caring that this move completely exposed his back to Julian.

He walked towards the distance on his own.

"Pace-pace-pace-"

The sound of the scepter tapping the ground echoed in the Tomb of the Emperor, and the milky white light reflected Julian's hesitant eyes.

For some reason, looking at the figure gradually disappearing, Yulian had the idea of ​​​​chasing in his mind.

This unreasonable thought made him frown.

But after just two breaths, he made up his mind, picked up the two women and strode after them.

He has never fully explained the identity of the middle-aged man from beginning to end.

But Julian can roughly guess that it is related to this ancient empire that has been destroyed for thousands of years.

Julian didn't completely believe what Sivir's ancestor said, but he couldn't deny the identity of the Sunblood.

The power of the magic storm destroyed the underground palace, completely blocking the way back.

Coupled with the milky white light hanging high above his head, if he did not want to starve to death in this uninhabited place, Julian would not be able to escape this encounter at any cost.

Since there is no way to avoid it, instead of letting the other person leave alone and make small moves behind his back, it is better to follow him now and see what this mysterious man wants to do!

After thinking about this clearly, Julian suddenly felt much calmer:

This is the opponent's home court, and the strength shown by the opponent far exceeds his.

Instead of being naughty to Nini, why not be more generous!

"Tap-tap-tap-"

Following the footsteps of the middle-aged man, Julian strode forward and caught up with him in just a few seconds.

Feeling Julian's breath behind him, the middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He walked forward without saying a word, his steps were neither urgent nor slow, and the intervals between each step were exactly right.

In just a few seconds, Julian once again felt the wonderful beauty displayed while walking.

This also intentionally or unintentionally gave Julian a clearer understanding of the other party's identity - he must have been a great nobleman with a long heritage during his lifetime!

You must know that before meeting this middle-aged man, the person with the most elegant walking posture in Yulian's mind was definitely Cassiopeia!

As a descendant of the top noble family in Noxus, Cassiopeia received the most elite education and training in the entire Noxus Empire since she was a child.

Compared to Catalina, who was trained as the inheritor of the family assassin, Cassiopeia had a lot of time to learn knowledge and various etiquette since she was a child. In just a dozen years, she has become the most popular assassin in the empire.

A popular socialite!

But even though she was like this, she couldn't take steps that made Julian look at her.

And looking at the walking steps, Julian could vaguely feel the aura of martial arts.

That unique rhythm seems to coincide with some kind of martial law.

Even though he was frightened, he couldn't help but observe secretly.

Time is like quicksand, slipping through the fingers little by little,
