Chapter 1849 He Who Knows the Current Affairs Is a Hero
Feeling doubtful, I cautiously poked half of my head out.
His sight was like a searchlight, searching the bright tomb.
My eyes were first attracted to the dense bones pressed under the fragments of the stone wall. As Odachi expected, there were indeed many hideous-looking mummies behind the stone wall. They were probably sealed behind the stone wall during their lifetimes. Be a craftsman.
Looking at the mountains of white bones, I couldn't help but sigh: The monarch is unkind and treats the people as stupid dogs.
Then, my attention was drawn to the five coffins in the center of the tomb.
The shape of the coffin is slightly special, a bit like the golden coffin of an Egyptian pharaoh. The lower half is like an ordinary coffin, and the upper half is a lifelike human shape.
The humanoid coffin had its arms crossed, a solemn expression on its face, and an indescribable strangeness in its dark and terrifying pupils.
I frowned and said uneasily, "It's a bit evil."
"General" Odachi didn't care much: "This thing is exactly the same as the mummy on the Blue Planet. It's probably not a mummy wrapped in layers of bandages."
"If it's really a mummy, it wouldn't be that scary. I'm afraid it's just something weird." I hesitated and said, "For example, some living mummies or something like that."
"What's so scary about that thing?" Odachi said disdainfully: "Have you killed many similar monsters in the dungeon?"
It's right to think about it. Even if it can come back to life, it is just controlled by magic power and has become a puppet that can move. But a mummy is a mummy. No matter how powerful it is, there is an upper limit. What's more, this is still unknown. The mummy was made tens of thousands of years ago. No matter how powerful the mummy was during its lifetime, it would still not be able to withstand the passage of time. In other words, even if it still maintains the same fighting level as before, its body and bones may not be able to withstand such a torment.
When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that there was nothing terrible about it.
After circling the coffin a few times and groping around on it, I finally found a secret door. I clicked hard and there was a soft creaking sound, and the lid of the coffin slowly opened.
As the lid opened, I saw clearly the interior of the coffin. There were no dazzling gold coins, no shining jewelry, only a lonely corpse, and a knight's sword tightly held by the corpse's hands.
To my horror, the body looked just like the one on the golden coffin, lifelike, as if it was not dead, but simply asleep.
This frightened me greatly. If it were resurrected in this way, it would definitely be able to exert most of its strength during its lifetime. If it was an existence equal to the power of the country during its lifetime, wouldn't I be left in the cold? !
Taking a breath of cold air, I cautiously took two steps back. At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the coffin, which scared me so much that my hair stood up. I subconsciously clenched the Odachi sword with murderous intent, waiting for When the opponent jumped out of the coffin, he directly launched the most violent blow at it.
At this moment, I was so nervous that my heart almost flew out of my throat.
However, one second, two seconds, three seconds, and half a minute passed, and the soft sound continued, but nothing jumped out of the coffin.
I swallowed and boldly took a closer look. I was shocked immediately.
The corpse that was originally lifelike decayed into a skeleton of white bones in the blink of an eye, and there was still a lot of black liquid slowly flowing in the coffin.
I remember I didn’t see any liquid appearing just now?
"These black liquids are made from the decay of flesh and blood," Odachi said: "After all, the corpse in the coffin has experienced a long period of time without oxygen. Suddenly oxygen seeped in, and its flesh and blood was directly oxidized, turning into this A puddle of dark liquid."
"He who doesn't know is not guilty, and he who doesn't know is not guilty. I hope my seniors will be merciful and don't blame me!" I clasped my hands together and muttered in my mouth.
"Okay, stop pretending. This is just a corpse. As for its soul, it has probably returned to the God of Creation. Let's get down to business."
I put away my posture with a guilty conscience and looked around the walls.
It looked like a tomb, with sacrifices piled in the corners and jewelry and gold coins scattered around. It was so bright and dazzling when the firelight on the wall illuminated it.
I leaned down and picked up a gold coin.
Odachi sarcastically said: "Although thieves are not foolproof, aren't your pursuits too low?"
"I'm not just looking for money. Look at this gold coin, and look at the one I have now." As I said this, I took out a gold coin with the same yellow-orange color from my pocket, and placed the two side by side in the palm of my hand.
You wouldn’t know it unless you compared it, but the patterns on the two gold coins are actually the same!
Odachi was silent for a long time and said, "Do you think this is a coincidence?"
I shook my head and picked out four more gold coins from my pocket. These four gold coins had different patterns.
Odachi's tone became serious: "You mean, this desolate mausoleum."
"I suspect that the owner of this deserted mausoleum should be a member of the Feide family."
"You mean people from the Fairy Royal Family?" Odachi said with a dry smile: "How is this possible? Moonlight City is separated from here by several seas. At that time, there were no flying tools such as magic airships. Even if the Fairy Royal Family could fly, they wanted to rely on Flying across several seas, you have to stay awake for several days, not to mention the problem of food sources, you can't afford this physical strength, right?"
"You are right," I nodded: "But have you ever thought about whether the owner of this deserted mausoleum might be a descendant of Fred Rupert? Don't forget that his mausoleum is also on this continent. superior."
"Hiss!" Odachi took a breath and murmured: "According to what you say, it is not impossible. The supreme status of the ancestors has been overthrown, but the noble and proud royal blood still flows in the veins of the descendants. In order to return to glory, they relied on the wealth left by their ancestors and the appeal of the goblin royal family to establish an empire again, and this empire gained a firm foothold as it expanded day by day, but even if they established an empire and became monarchs, this descendant I still haven’t forgotten the glory of the goblin royal family, even the pattern on the coins is the common pattern of the royal family, hiss, this is really a man of faith!”
"Once a person has faith, he will be invincible." I said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, those corpses that he used as a stepping stone were probably his enemies, or they were against the goblin royal family. The minister who unifies the Zephyr Continent."
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero." Odachi sighed: "No matter whether it is correct or not for the fairy royal family to dominate the continent, we should not ruin the monarch's luck when he is most proud, especially when this monarch is still an ambitious and powerful man. At this point, , you are quite smart."
"Huh?" I was confused: "How did you get involved with me?"
"Aren't you also against the Fairy Queen's ambition to unify the Zephyr Continent?" Odachi said, "It's just that you have a backing and didn't make this clear, so you were lucky enough to be safe."
