Act Three Hundred and Fortieth The Accident of the Shire
Scene 340: Ciel's accident
When Brando opened the sarcophagus.
At this moment, the temperature in the tomb has dropped to a certain level. A layer of fluffy white frost has grown on the surrounding walls of the tomb, and a subtle gurgling sound can be heard faintly in the darkness. Standing at the door with others
Yuta was slightly startled when she heard the sound. She turned around to look for the source of the sound, only to find that it was Miss Shang beside her who was pale, shivering from the cold, and making the sound with her upper and lower teeth chattering.
"Are you okay?" A strange look flashed in the eyes of the female mercenary leader with burning hair and blue eyes. She was a little confused as to why this little girl insisted on standing here even though she was frozen like this. However, she knew that among all the people present, this girl was still standing here.
The lord's 'fiancée' was probably the weakest, so he asked kindly: "Do you want me to send you out first?"
Roman held his shoulders with his hands, shivering from the cold, but while shaking his head like a rattle, he replied in a trembling tone: "No, no, no, no...I, I, I, I, I, I want to see Bubu Brando drive that, that, that
That coffin, coffin, I, I, I, I, I, I, I want to have a look at what’s inside..."
"But aren't you cold?" Yuta clearly saw that the other party looked extremely cold.
"I, I, I am cold..."
"Then let me take you out, okay?"
"No, no, that's not good!" When the businesswoman replied, it was obvious that her curiosity had overcome her reason, and she fully expressed that even if she was frozen into an ice sculpture, she still had to see what was inside the sarcophagus.
It seems that if such a concept were placed in Brando's original era, it would at least be a pioneer in the pursuit of truth.
"..."
Yuta obviously didn't understand the spirit of "If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening". She looked at this weird little girl and was speechless for a moment. Of course she didn't know about the night when Buchmadara invaded Eruin a year ago.
At that time, Brando looked at little Roman who was fearless and had similar thoughts to her.
While the female mercenary leader was a little speechless, Brando finally pried open the lid of the sarcophagus with the help of Charles. This huge sarcophagus was trapezoidal in shape, somewhat similar to the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
That style, from this point of view, is completely different from the burial customs of the contemporary Cruz cultural circle. The coffins of the Cruz people are generally rectangular or hexagonal like vampire coffins. The culture of the Eruin people
It is of the same origin as the Cruz people, and is almost the same. The burial customs of the mountain people generally do not use coffins, but dig a pit in the tomb. Therefore, Brando concluded that the tomb may be a few years old, at least it is still there.
There is a history before the mountain people.
To be on the safe side, Brando only pushed the coffin lid open through a small gap, but he was immediately stunned. Because judging from the firelight coming through the gap, the huge coffin seemed to be empty inside.
There are no skeletons or mummies that should occupy the main position, but it can be seen that there are many gold and silver burial objects.
"The boss is not here?" Brando suddenly became suspicious. He carefully gestured to Charles on the side, and the two of them immediately pushed the coffin lid open. Only then did they realize that there was nothing in the sarcophagus. Just those things.
Between the oxidized gold and silverware, a pile of crystal fragments lay quietly in the center of the huge sarcophagus where the bones were supposed to be.
As soon as Brando saw those crystal fragments, he suddenly felt a chill rising from his back. Because these crystal fragments turned out to be a vague human shape lying on a piece of cloth, with obvious limbs and torso, but
No head.
"Damn it, senior sister, don't scare me." Brando couldn't help but muttered in a voice that could only be heard by himself, but he looked around and didn't know what kind of wreckage it was.
.
"What the hell is this?" Charles couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the crystal fragments in the coffin. Generally speaking, the burial customs in many places have the habit of mummifying the buried people and preserving them.
However, the methods of making mummies are all kinds of weird, but I have never seen a person made into a crystal-like form. And it doesn't have a head, which is even weirder.
Brando carefully inspected the inside of the coffin. Apart from the pile of human-shaped crystal fragments, there was nothing else that looked similar to the remains. If you guessed correctly, this should be the owner of the tomb. As for the burials next to it,
Brando recognized several familiar items among these funerary objects at a glance. They were all magic equipment. It is estimated that in the game, these would be the rewards for this boss battle.
Could this be the boss? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the pile of crystal fragments again. No, even though his mental counterattack was very sharp, he was shattered into pieces in an instant, so he wouldn't be so weak.
Right? Brando was confused for a moment.
But it wasn't just Brando, Charles also seemed to feel that the pile of humanoid crystal fragments in front of him looked a little familiar. He mentioned something in the teleportation with some uncertainty: "It seems... this is the thing from before, boss.
"
Brando nodded without answering. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly found an unusually familiar thing in the pile of funerary objects. The thing was lying among a lot of gold and silverware, which was a palm-sized piece of dark gray.
The stone flakes had a dull surface and looked like fragments that had fallen off the coffin lid. If Brando hadn't felt a little confused and scanned the sarcophagus several times, he might not have been able to pay attention for a while.
to such an ordinary piece of stone.
But he said softly, "Huh", grabbed the thing, and suddenly found that the thing was very similar to something he had seen. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately took out something from his pocket.
It was also a piece of stone, dark and dull, almost the same as the larger piece of stone in Brando's hand except that it was only about the size of a thumb. This small piece of stone was the one he and Roman Fu met on the Xavier Mountain Road at that time.
The relics of Viscount Nesatsu discovered in the 'Forbidden Orchard' where the golden magic tree is located when Leya fled together, of course, can also be said to be the relics of Antitina's father.
He remembered that among all the relics of Antitina's father, this piece of stone was the only thing that he didn't recognize. At the time, he thought that the piece of stone was some kind of alchemical material. After all, there were thousands of materials in the Amber Sword.
Wan, it's normal that he doesn't recognize him. He is a combat professional, not a sub-professional player.
However, according to the identification of the alchemist Tamar, this thing is not a mineral, or similar to other alchemical raw materials. There is no magic reaction on it, and it is more like an ordinary stone flake. Brando wanted to throw it away several times.
, but in the end I still didn't want to part with it. After all, it was obtained in a special scene. It might be a plot-related item. If I lose it, I can't get it back.
But he didn't expect that something similar to this stone piece would be found in an unnamed tomb in Tonigel.
What exactly is this?
The appearance of this strange stone piece among these funerary objects shows that it must have some value in itself, and at least it has been recognized by the owner of the tomb. Brando glanced at the other funerary objects, although they cannot be said to be priceless (after all, it is a level 30 underground
city rewards), but at least most of them are magic items, and the rest are gold, silver, and pottery that represent equivalents and works of art.
This stone piece appeared in the hands of Antitina's father, and now it appeared hundreds of miles away in this ancient tomb from hundreds of generations ago. The secrets of two different eras were now entangled, making
Brando frowned.
He thought for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. The most reliable guess was that the stone fragments were some kind of special funerary objects, which may have been given special significance in a certain era, and Viscount Naisong happened to be an 'archaeologist'
Lovers, this is the only way everything makes sense. But saying this is a bit disrespectful to the dead. After all, there is no side evidence to prove that Antitina's father is a tomb robber.
What's more, Viscount Nathan always carries such an ordinary stone piece with him and puts it with the letter to Antitina, which shows that he is at least very proud of this collection. Brando really can't think of this thing.
What's so valuable about it is that it's not a flint spear point from the Stone Age.
Brando thought about it and decided to carefully collect the stone piece first. At least the appearance of this strange stone piece in the tomb shows that it may have experienced longer than Eruin itself.
"Hey, there are also destiny cards here."
Brando suddenly heard what Charles said in surprise during the teleportation. He turned around and saw his attendant hooking his index finger into the sarcophagus, and a black spider suddenly flew up from the layers of spider webs.
It looks like a box. On the surface of the box there is an equilateral triangle engraved in relief, and on the inner side of the triangle there is an incised circle tangent to it. The two patterns form a strange symbol, and there are some rising flame textures around this symbol.
.
But his eyes flashed, and he saw a flash of silver light under the box, which was connected to a thin silver thread that was almost invisible to the naked eye. As soon as Brando saw the silver thread, his face changed and his voice changed.
He shouted with some trembling:
"Put it down quickly!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. Charles had already grabbed the box in his hand. He turned back and looked at his master in confusion.
But suddenly, the entire tomb began to shake, the floor shook violently in waves, dust rustled down from the ceiling, and the surrounding load-bearing pillars began to tilt, making a tooth-breaking rattling sound. At this time, everyone was stunned.
I understand what happened. It's obvious that someone triggered some terrible mechanism.
"Ah!" Charles was startled: "Ah... Sir, this is just an accident."
This is really a surprise for him. From the background of the card, it means that he is actually a wizard who grew up in an ivory tower. Unlike adventurers, almost all NPC wizards grew up in the vast sea of books.
, they have nothing to do with adventure, and they don’t know where there are traps in the dungeon.
But Ciel's strength made both him and Brando ignore this.
Moreover, Brando also ignored the more important point, Shire is an aborigine, not a player wizard.
"Holy shit!" Brando suddenly felt a big trough in his heart, and he immediately said: "Don't worry about any accidents, run quickly, this tomb is going to collapse!" Most of the underground tombs in the Amber Room are equipped with self-destruct mechanisms.
, but a player with a little bit of experience would not be fooled by this kind of evil. He was just sweating a lot when he looked at Ciel.
The two looked at each other and turned around at the same time.
