Chapter 3649 The Last Few Monarchs
In the next few days, we left Yorkshire again and stepped into another corner of the public area.
After digging through the thick soil, the door of another mausoleum appeared in front of us.
The tomb door of this tomb is also made of boulders, but the difference is that the boulders do not contain any enchanting materials.
"In other words, this is just a stone gate made of ordinary boulders?" I said lightly, stroking the boulder tomb door.
"Yes, my lord," Hathaway said.
Hathaway is the name of the old expert's daughter.
Hathaway's family is indeed one of the most well-known nobles in York and Seoul.
Even though this family is only a middle-class noble, in the eyes of the monarch of York and Seoul, it is valued more than most large noble families.
On the one hand, there are very few members of this family who do evil things, which reduces a lot of trouble for the monarch. On the other hand, all members of this family are not involved in politics, and no one has joined a national power organization. In this way, this family has nothing to threaten the monarch.
Finally, and the most critical point, although this family is not big, it has a long history in York and Hancheng. If you really want to trace it back, it must at least be traced back to the melee period.
Since the melee period, I have been following the Simmons family until today. Even if such a family has no ability, they can still prosper in York and Han City just by relying on incense.
It was such a family that played an important role when the Simmons family stabilized the power of York and Seoul.
As I said before, the Simmons family does not shy away from tomb robbing, and has even directly established tomb robbing as a profession.
But if you want to rob a tomb, just relying on the accumulation of manpower and material resources is not enough. If you want to find the location of the tomb more easily and enter and exit the tomb more safely, the best way is to find the designer of the tomb.
However, the designer of the mausoleum has long since passed away, and there is no hope at all. The only way that can be thought of is to ask someone with relevant knowledge to help analyze the structure of the mausoleum.
Obviously, Hathaway's head of the family, who dug graves for the Simmons family, was capable of this.
Digging graves along the way, constantly taking out the funerary objects from the mausoleum and presenting them to their monarch.
This move not only gained the favor of the Simmons family and their family, but also laid a solid foundation for the family's future.
Since then, Hathaway's family has been going smoothly. Even though the nobles around her have changed one after another, her family has remained strong.
This is why, when Simmons Locke mentioned Hathaway's father, he only mentioned it jokingly, saying that he was stubborn and old-fashioned, but never concluded his behavior that offended me. ——After all, he couldn't bear to part with such a useful but unambitious family.
As long as I don't insist on punishing Hathaway's family, Simmons Locke hopes to use Poxiadonkey to get over this matter.
I will not dismantle Simmons Locke. After all, based on my relationship with Simmons Locke, as long as he is still alive and still in charge of the power of York and Hancheng, I can directly or indirectly obtain more benefits.
From this point of view, Simmons Locke is one of our own, and since he is one of our own, the verbal offense his important subordinates gave me is irrelevant.
Back to business.
After learning that the main door of the mausoleum was an ordinary stone door, I made an immediate decision and broke open the door in a brutal way.
Hathaway was quite dissatisfied with my order, but she couldn't say much, so she could only issue my order in a muffled voice.
Under the influence of brute force, the stone door was instantly broken open.
Inside the dark tomb, there was an unpleasant smell of decay.
"Were you present when the tomb was opened in the previous mausoleum?" I asked Hathaway.
"Yeah" she nodded.
"There's no special smell in it, right?"
She thought for a moment and nodded again.
"But there is a smell of decay in this mausoleum, and it is very strong." I glanced at the dark tomb passage and said lightly: "It seems that the owner of this mausoleum is more cruel."
"It is also possible that the descendants of the tomb owner are more cruel." Hathaway thought for a moment and explained: "In order to allow their elders to live a comfortable and luxurious life in another world, the successors of the younger generations may kill all the deceased emperors except their own biological mothers. All the concubines will be killed and buried."
"There is also another possibility. In order to stabilize the regime, the successor will kill all the threats and send them to the mausoleum. On the one hand, he will show his filial piety, and on the other hand, he will stabilize his power."
"So," I said, "Imperial power is never clean."
After letting the air out for about an hour, we started our tomb robbing tour again.
This mausoleum has many more traps than the previous one. Not only are there more traps, but the risk factor is also many percentage points higher. Two weak adventurers were even seriously injured. Fortunately, this time, I brought them with me. The chaplain accompanied the team to avoid serious casualties.
"Didn't you say that the Peruvian Empire wouldn't set too many traps in the mausoleum?" I asked Hathaway: "Why are there not only many traps in this tomb, but also dangerous?"
Hathaway thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't know the reason for this. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many traps in the tombs of the Peruvian Empire to prevent tomb robbers from invading. After all, No matter what, it is a huge empire that has unified the Arad continent, and we should still have this confidence."
At this point, she paused.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Have you thought of anything?"
Her face was slightly condensed and her brows were furrowed. After thinking for a moment, she said softly: "Unless this mausoleum is the mausoleum of the last monarchs of the Peruvian Empire."
"The tombs of the last monarchs of the Peruvian Empire?" My eyes lit up and I said, "That means"
Is it possible that the weapons and equipment used by Kazan and Ozma are in this tomb?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grin.
"Uh, sir," Hathaway's eyelids trembled and said, "Don't you think that the last few monarchs of the Peruvian Empire at sunset did not accumulate any treasures? In fact, you are completely overthinking it. Most of the treasures of the Peruvian Empire were used as funerary objects and were buried in the tombs of the last monarchs. In other words, the treasures in this tomb should be more than the previous one."
I glanced at Hathaway and thought to myself: It turns out that my expression just now made her mistakenly think that I was dissatisfied because the owner of this mausoleum might be the last monarchs of the Peruvian Empire and was worried about insufficient financial reports. So you are so angry that you laugh instead, right?
Then she could not be more wrong.
In fact, I was secretly happy. After all, I had promised Ozma to return his and Kazan's weapons and equipment. The earlier this promise was fulfilled, the earlier the burden on my heart would be lifted.
