Chapter 3638 Transportation
I didn't take it to heart at all that the attitude of everyone in the expert team towards me suddenly changed from arrogant to slightly humble.
It is the nature of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and to rely on the strong to bully the weak. This is true even for powerful adventurers, let alone these experts and scholars?
Because of the sudden arrival of the dwarf adventurer, the expert team that had been clamoring for a while suddenly became more honest.
In the entire camp, there was no voice that criticized me.
After that, I held a meeting. The people attending the meeting were all members, including the expert team.
At the meeting, I announced my idea to everyone. I wanted to take away all the treasures in the tomb. As for the money, it would be divided equally among the human adventurers and expert team members present.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone responded except those members of the expert team who I excluded.
It's no wonder that I give them the money they need, and they support me and serve me. It can be said to be a win-win situation.
At the end of the meeting, I asked everyone if they had any other comments.
The leader of the expert team, the old expert, stood up. He looked like he was ready to die and said to me, "Sir, I have an opinion."
"If it's about going to the tomb or something like that, it goes without saying. I've already given a very clear answer. No, it's just no."
The old expert was silent. His daughter beside him suddenly stood up, but was stopped by his hand. Taking a deep breath, the old expert said in a deep voice: "We can stop mentioning the matter of going to the tomb, but please agree. We, no, promise the entire archaeological community not to cause damage to the mausoleum. No matter what happened to the monarch of the Peruvian Empire during his lifetime, the mausoleum where he was buried is the most precious treasure in human history."
"I won't promise you," I said, "I will definitely take away the things inside the mausoleum, and I will also destroy the mausoleum."
The old expert held his head high and looked fierce, and said to me: "Then, you will become a sinner in the archaeological world, and perhaps in human history!"
"Presumptuous!" the leader of the dwarf adventurer shouted angrily as he stood up. The sudden burst of terrifying momentum knocked all the human adventurers and expert team members to their knees.
I waved my hand to signal the dwarf adventurer to calm down, then looked at the old expert calmly and said, "You are the leader of the archaeological world. It is your right to define who is the sinner of the archaeological world. I am an adventurer. There is generally only one purpose for entering a mausoleum, and that is to steal the precious treasures inside."
"But this time, I have to destroy this mausoleum. No, not just this one, I will destroy all the mausoleums in the Peruvian Empire, leaving not a single one."
"As for whether you define me as a public enemy of the archaeological community or a sinner of history, it's up to you. If you are powerful enough, you can even make me smell on the streets of Hefeng Continent. This is your right and I have no right to interfere. I won’t interfere.”
What I said was a coward, but its threatening significance was huge.
As I said before, he has the right to discredit me, slander me, and even make me a street rat that everyone calls out in the archaeological community. Correspondingly, I also have the right to do whatever I want, including It is not limited to putting pressure on the archaeological community, contacting all monarchs, reducing the funds for the archaeological community, and even restricting the scope of the archaeological community's activities, and then using various forms to destroy all target locations of the archaeological team that slandered me in advance, etc.
Compared to the archaeological world, I have more room to develop.
But I don't want to do this yet, but if the old expert doesn't know what's good and what's good and insists on fighting me to the death, I naturally won't let him get his way.
The meeting ended in a barely acceptable atmosphere.
Move the boulder away and select some adventurers to serve as left-behind guards. All the other adventurers and some members of the expert team will follow me through the tomb passage and into the tomb.
After arriving at the monarch's tomb smoothly, the dwarf adventurer looked as shocked as the human adventurer.
The mithril coffin, which is several meters wide and nearly a hundred meters long, can be regarded as a priceless treasure no matter where it is placed.
Its real value is probably only comparable to the same amount of fine gold.
"Let's do it." I told the dwarf adventurer: "Take away all the mithril here, transport 90% of it to the magic airship, and bring it back to Fort Vicky, leaving one city behind as a gift to His Majesty Simmons Locke. Thanks."
"As you command, Your Highness!"
The dwarf adventurer leader said respectfully.
Then, crazy cutting started.
Even with perfect tools, mining mithril is not an easy task.
Fortunately, the dwarf adventurer had amazing strength and endurance. After slashing for more than half an hour, he finally removed nearly half of the mithril coffin.
The dwarf adventurer in charge of transportation transported the mithril blocks out piece by piece.
The entire operation took more than three hours, and finally all the mithril was transported out.
However, this was only an action against the Mithril Coffin. There was not only the Mithril Coffin in this mausoleum, but there were at least two more tombs that had not been excavated.
Therefore, I cannot guarantee how many treasures will be revealed.
After struggling all afternoon, the monarch's tomb was finally emptied. In addition to the huge amount of mithril, there are also many unnamed but genuine magic equipment.
Then there are all kinds of gold, stone, jade, pearls and gems.
These things were all divided between the adventurers and the expert team, but more than half of the treasure was still presented by the adventurer leader.
Although I have repeatedly stated that there is no need to share them with me, they are too enthusiastic, so I have no choice but to reward the dwarf adventurers with these donated jewels.
The dwarf adventurer's attitude when accepting jewelry is different from others. Others are grateful and thank me endlessly, but the dwarf adventurer will only say thank you to me, nothing more.
This is the simplest way to express gratitude, but it is also the most comfortable way to express gratitude to me.
There is no bells and whistles, no pretense, just the most genuine and essential thanks.
As the night grew darker, a group of us left the mausoleum and continued back to the camp to rest.
The entrance to the mausoleum was once again blocked by a huge boulder, and no matter how hard the members of the expert team tried, they could never pry it open.
Under my order, some dwarf adventurers returned to the magic airship to rest, while the remaining dwarf adventurers kept vigil voluntarily.
Half of them kept circling the camp, observing everything around them, while the other half, the dwarf adventurers, stood guard next to the boulder to prevent anyone from getting close.
Near midnight, I once again heard a female voice, the daughter of an old expert, begging the dwarf adventurers to give them a convenience so that they could take advantage of the precious night to peek deeper into the tomb.
However, the dwarf adventurers were even more unkind than the human adventurers. They didn't even bother to talk to the old expert's daughter. They just sat there quietly and stared at anyone approaching the entrance to the tomb without blinking.
