Chapter 1911 The Purpose of Tomb Robbing

Now that the river bed has been found, can the mausoleum be far away?

The answer is quite far.

But it's much better than endless searching.

He took out the tools from his backpack, built a simple tent in the deep hole he dug, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, lay in the tent and chatted with Fenghuang and the others for a while, and then fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, I woke up. After a brief wash and a good meal, I quickly packed up the tent, jumped out of the pit with a slight jump, and started another day's journey.

Taking the river bed as an axis, I began to explore east of the river bed.

The map indicates that the stone sculpture is about 500 meters east of the river bed, but I don't yet know which part of the river bed the location is.

And I don’t know which part of the river bed the deep hole where we camped yesterday belongs to.

With both cases unknown, I had to expand my search.

Although it will be tiring to expand the search scope, you finally have a definite goal. As long as you continue searching according to the goal, you will always get results.

Almost every few meters forward, I would dig a shallow pit with an Odachi and carefully observe the soil layer at the bottom of the pit.

There is a reason for this. According to the words of a wise man, although the last orc king ordered the removal of the two stone sculptures, it was only to destroy them rather than to preserve them. Therefore, the craftsmen did not dig out the foundations together. Instead, they used cutting tools to cut the stone statues from the joints of the foundations. As for the two foundations, they were completely preserved.

The wise man also said that the two stone sculptures are extremely huge, and the bases on which they are fixed are even more spectacular - not only are they more than one meter high, they also have a base that can almost sleep four adults side by side!

Even if it is buried by wind and sand, I think those huge bases made of white marble will not be affected.

As long as the base is still there, there is a certain probability of encountering it during shallow excavation.

With this feeling, I continued to repeat the practice of digging a shallow hole every few meters.

This process lasted for more than seven hours, and finally, I found the huge white marble base.

Leaning on the side of the base, I picked up the wine bag and gulped it down. The sweet taste stimulated my taste buds and inflated my excitement. I took out the calling crystal and informed Master Dewey of the matter immediately.

Master Dewey was also pleased with my efforts.

The next thing is to dig out the entrance to the tomb according to the marks on the map.

According to Fred Alexander's description, the entrance to the mausoleum is buried about five meters underground and is sealed with mithril. However, these mithrils do not have the power to imbue ancient writings. Although it may take some force, it can still be destroyed.

Since the first hurdle I will face is the Mithril Gate, it is necessary to recharge my batteries.

Before it got dark, I set up a simple tent, ate, chatted, and then rested.

After a good sleep, I woke up again. It was already bright. I stood up and stretched my muscles. I felt that my whole body was full of strength.

After doing some morning exercises, I took out my handkerchief to wipe the sweat off my body. After a good meal, I started today's task - digging holes.

It is not difficult to dig a five-meter deep pit. However, after digging the deep pit, I really had to face the first difficulty.

The hardness of mithril is obvious to all. Even if the Odachi is condensed with murderous intent, it is not easy to split this thick mithril wall.

I slashed horizontally and vertically, left, stabbed and slashed right. After a lot of effort, I only managed to cut off a layer a few centimeters thick.

Leaning against the earth wall and panting, I remembered Philed Alexander's description of the mithril wall: "I liked the pure white color of mithril very much, so I named it as the person who used it to block the door. And I remember that at that time I deliberately I have emphasized that the mithril wall used to block the door cannot be too thin, it must be at least one meter thick."

A meter thick mithril wall. How long do I have to dig it?

With a black line on my head, I dialed Master Dewey’s communication crystal.

Master Dewey's voice soon came from the other end of the crystal: "It's Xiaoyi, what, are you encountering difficulties?"

"Yes," I said feebly, "Father, please help me think of a solution."

"What kind of problem is it that makes Xiao Yi so embarrassed?" Master Dewey said with a smile: "Tell me about it."

"I have found the entrance to the mausoleum. As expected, as His Highness Alexander said, there is a thick mithril wall blocking the door. I spent a lot of effort and only cut off a layer a few centimeters thick. Let me It would probably take three to five days to dig through the entire mithril wall."

"The Mithril Wall." Master Dewey nodded: "That's a problem. Let's do this for now. You go back to the airship to rest. I will send a group of craftsmen who specialize in mining Mithril gold mines to assist you."

"Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble at all." I suggested tentatively, "You can send a few powerful national forces, and with one move, I can guarantee that the mithril wall can be blown open, and the tomb-exploring For a strong person of that level, this kind of thing is not difficult to escape from death, at least it is no problem to save one's life."

Before I could finish speaking, Master Dewey interrupted: "No, national power cannot be assigned. You can only rely on your own strength to complete this task."

"Huh?" I asked in confusion: "Why? This is not an oracle given to me by the God of Creation. It is just a tomb robbery. There is no need to stipulate so many rules, right?"

Master Dewey said: "You think this matter does not need to follow so many rules and regulations, because you have not understood the essence of this matter."

He explained in a serious tone: "First of all, this tomb is the real tomb of Philed Alexander. It is the tomb of the first Goblin King during the Melee. There must be many precious historical documents buried in it. Secondly, in the early days of the Melee, Zephyr Disasters occur frequently in the mainland. When many countries are helpless, they turn to His Highness Alexander for help. It is said that these disaster statistics disappeared without a trace after the passing of His Highness the Holy King Alexander. It is initially concluded that some ministers regard these disaster statistics as The funerary objects were buried together in the mausoleum. Now that His Royal Highness Alexander’s real tomb has been found, we must also bring out these disaster record books.”

"I understand the reason why you want historical documents, but I don't understand what the use of the disaster record book is." I puzzled: "Those are things in the past, and those disasters have been led by His Highness Alexander. Destroyed."

"Some were indeed wiped out by His Highness Alexander's army," Master Dewey said, "but some were not. Just like Achilles, who has been sleeping for thousands of years, can wake up again. Who can guarantee that those disasters will also wake up again? .”
