Chapter 106: Coffin (Please Collect and Recommend)
Regarding the development of Cornelius Segon's tomb, it was initiated by King Uther. At that time, Camelot was at war with the Kingdom of Sendred. Because of the lack of money, King Uther happened to hear rumors about Cornelius Segon's tomb, so he organized a group of people to dig it on a whim.
But because Kai settled the war so quickly, King Uther himself could not react. Not only that, Kai also brought back 100,000 gold coins of war reparations from the Kingdom of Sendred. Camelot's finances suddenly became rich.
The burden disappeared all of a sudden, and King Uther's enthusiasm for digging the tomb disappeared immediately. Although the excavation did not stop, the number of workers decreased rapidly. First, half of the workers were reduced, and then half were reduced again. In the end, only a dozen workers were left to dig.
By now, King Uther almost forgot about the excavation of the tomb. After all, he is the ruler of a country. How could he remember this little thing when he has so many things to do every day. Moreover, he had Arthur, a filial son who always caused trouble for him, so the excavation of the mausoleum was basically forgotten. If it weren't for the monthly salary of these workers, it is estimated that no one in the entire Camelot City would remember that there were still a group of people digging.
Because of this, the guards at the excavation site were very lax. Normally, no one would check the progress of the underground excavation, because most people did not believe in the legend. In fact, even King Uther did not believe it. At that time, he was just trying to save the situation.
So, when Tauren took advantage of the night to bring people to the excavation site, no one noticed it. The guards on the periphery had long been dealt with by Tauren and replaced by his own people. →
When Tauren opened the tomb, he was shocked by everything in front of him.
Can you imagine that there is an underground palace under Camelot? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tauren himself would not believe it. When Tauren approached the underground palace, he found that the space inside was incredibly large.
This is not a mausoleum, it can be said to be an underground city. The whole underground palace was built beautifully, with carved beams and painted pillars everywhere, and the dome was as high as 30 meters, making the whole underground palace look extremely majestic and spectacular.
Who would have thought that this Cornelius Segen actually built an underground palace under Camelot.
But soon Tao Lun was attracted by the gold and silver treasures that filled the entire underground palace. Tao Lun swore that he had never seen so many treasures in his life, no, it should be said that he had never even thought about it!
The people he brought were also dumbfounded. They were all born in poverty and had never seen such a scene. One by one, they rushed to the treasures like crazy, holding them with their hands, putting them in bags, and some even stuffed the treasures into their clothes.
Seeing his men going crazy, Tao Lun couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
But soon, Tao Lun stopped his men from going crazy.
"Aryan, organize people to move these treasures immediately! Everyone else, go find Cornelius Segen's coffin!"
After receiving the order, the subordinate named Aryan immediately went to find people happily, but the others were a little unhappy. →
"Chief, with these treasures, do we still need to find a coffin? With this money, we can overthrow the tyrant King Uther in no time." In fact, it is unknown how many of these people still want revenge. When a person has nothing, of course he will fight desperately, because they have nothing but their own lives, but look at the treasures in front of them. As long as they get a small part of it, they can live a life that they never dared to think of. In this case, how many people are willing to fight desperately? Isn't it good to live?
Tao Lun is a leader after all, and he sees much farther than these short-sighted guys.
"Humph, do you think we can transport all these treasures out?" Tao Lun completely misjudged the wealth of the mausoleum. I originally thought that Cornelius Segen should have a lot of wealth, but he never thought that there would be so much. It seems that the legend is not only not exaggerated, but also underestimated. Even if they transport so many treasures openly, they can't transport them all in a few days and nights. What's more, they are rebels and can only transport them secretly. How long will it take to transport so much wealth?
So Tao Lun immediately gave up the idea of taking money before. Although he would take a little, it is not the main thing now.
"Uh..."
"Besides, if we transport it out, will we have a life to spend it? Once King Uther finds these things, what will he do? Will he watch us take these things away? And don't forget, that woman Niwei is still watching us from behind!" Tao Lun has not forgotten Niwei, a dangerous woman. He doesn't think that Niwei will forget that he planned to kick her out and take all the wealth for himself. In short, Tao Lun knows very well that money is important, but it is nothing compared to life.
"The most important thing for us now is to get the power that belongs to Cornelius Segon! Only by getting that power, neither King Uther nor Niwei can be our opponent. Without power, there is nothing. As long as we master that powerful power, even if these riches are left to King Uther, they will still return to our hands in the end. So what we have to do now is not to look at these treasures, but to seek power! Just think about it, Cornelius Segon can accumulate so much wealth, how powerful his power must be! Brothers, guys, as long as we master that power, everything here, including everything in the world, will be ours!"
As a rebel, Tao Lun's ability to talk is absolutely at the maximum level, otherwise his bones would be rotten, how could there be so many people following him. After being fooled by him, a group of people were reluctant to leave, but they also understood that what Tao Lun said was right.
So a group of people could only reluctantly go to find Cornelius Segen's coffin.
Compared with the treasures that can be seen everywhere, Cornelius Segen's coffin is indeed more difficult to find. There are about 20 people in their group, but in order to find Cornelius Segen's coffin, they lost ten people in less than ten minutes.
After finally finding the coffin, they lost five more people...
Cornelius Segen's protection of his body is simply crazy. There are mechanisms and traps everywhere, and they are magic mechanisms and traps. Each one is not only extremely vicious, but also extremely hidden. If you touch it, you will die, and if you touch it, you will be injured. It is impossible to defend against it.
But this did not scare Tao Lun and his men away, because they all knew that the harder it is to get, the better things are. Cornelius Segen set up so many mechanisms to protect his coffin. Obviously, the things hidden inside are much more important than the treasures outside.
When a group of people finally found the coffin, they were also convinced of this.
It was a huge sarcophagus, made of shiny black marble, ten meters long and five meters wide, inlaid with gold, silver and gems everywhere. Around the sarcophagus, there were many knights and monster statues carved with the same black marble, each of which was lifelike.
On the lid of the sarcophagus, there was a human sculpture, which was carved very realistically, and even the most detailed hair decoration was carved in detail. In the center of the statue, there was a huge and beautiful heart-shaped sapphire, which constantly emitted gorgeous blue light mist and looked extremely mysterious.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
"Chief... that is..."
Tao Lun looked at the gem with fiery eyes, swallowed his saliva, and then said: "Yes! That is what we are looking for!"
Several men looked at it with envy, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and walked towards the gem quickly.
"Wait!" Tao Lun saw their movements and shouted immediately.
It was a pity that it was too late. Three of the five men suddenly fell to the ground, their bodies were pale and they died. The death was extremely miserable. However, two men escaped because they were a step slower.
