Ordinary travelers, because they were very interested in ancient civilizations, quit their jobs and came to this desert, but in the end they didn't expect to fall into the hands of this group of thugs.
What the vicissitudes of life man named Otto said... Claudia didn't believe it at all, but she obviously had no intention of telling the truth.
Inside the cell, there seemed to be a clear divide. Claudia and Aria stared at each other with big eyes. As for Boss Luo, he discussed the murals on the walls with Otto.
Claudia had no idea when Luo Qiu became so familiar with the man who called himself Otto... It seems that there was not even a formal, sincere self-introduction between the two parties?
It seemed that Aria was also wondering about the same question at this time...and she stared at Claudia again.
In the cell, there was only the sound of Boss Luo and Otto talking.
"This seems to record a sacrificial ceremony." Luo Qiu pointed to one of the murals, "But the specific year is unknown...Does Mr. Otto know?"
"This should be the period between the Seventh Dynasty and the Eighth Dynasty." Ottopan sat on the ground, eating quite rich food, and said calmly: "It is most likely the royal family of the Seventh Dynasty... According to records
, the existence of the Seventh Dynasty was very short, only seventy days. This dynasty seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared overnight."
Claudia didn't do much research on the history of ancient civilizations, but she couldn't help but feel a little funny about a regime that only existed for seventy days but claimed to be a dynasty. "Disappeared overnight? Are you sure it wasn't because of an attack?"
Otto glanced at Claudia casually, "It really disappeared overnight... It was not just this dynasty that disappeared, but even its palace. Legend has it that this palace was magnificent, but it disappeared overnight.
Only sand is left."
Claudia shook her head, "The resources in ancient times were not necessarily richer than now. The so-called splendid palace may be as high as a three-story building... The weather in the desert is constantly changing, and the so-called disappearance overnight
, maybe it’s just because it was swallowed up by the storm.”
Otto did not deny it, but he did not affirm it either. He just said calmly: "There is a legend that the Seventh Dynasty emerged because the king obtained a treasure that could grant any wish, so a huge castle appeared in the desert...
But because the king broke his original promise, everything he had was eventually taken away by mysterious forces. I speculate that the sacrificial murals carved here were probably performed by the king of the Seventh Dynasty to atone for his sins."
"Atonement?" Claudia shook her head. He couldn't understand most of these murals. The one he could understand was one of the ones that attracted Luo Qiu and Otto's attention, and he could probably understand the meaning of this mural, "Pray for forgiveness."
Sacrifice, actually using people from the country to carry out sacrifices, is really... barbaric! Anyway, I don't believe that a huge castle appeared overnight and the kingship was established overnight. Besides, this is just a guess on your part, right?"
Otto suddenly looked at Claudia and looked at her carefully... This sight made Claudia feel a little uneasy, and she subconsciously leaned towards Boss Luo.
Boss Luo seemed to have not seen it, and asked curiously: "What is this mysterious power?"
Otto shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. After all, the murals here are too old, and many of them have become blurry... and the only ones that can be interpreted are also incomplete. At present,
, the only thing that we know for sure is that the Seventh Dynasty really existed. Although the missing palace cannot be found, I went to find this place."
"Those people outside left Mr. Otto here to let you interpret the murals on the walls?" Luo Qiu thought for a while and said: "Besides here, there should be many similar murals outside, right? They left
Here, is it to develop this pyramid built underground?”
"This pyramid should be buried, so it looks like it was built underground." Otto thought for a while and said: "Their leader accidentally broke into this place... In fact, over the years, they have plundered everywhere, and even
A large part of the reason for catching people back is to go to the pyramids deeper underground. You are not the first to be caught. Over the past ten years, foreign tourists have been caught.
Come to the place and do the hard work of excavation.”
"We...will we also be arrested to dig this pyramid?" Claudia suddenly thought of something at this time, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Otto said calmly at this time: "It shouldn't take long before someone will escort you to the place where you need to dig. But there is another way to temporarily relieve you of this kind of hard work."
"What can I do?" Claudia asked hurriedly.
Otto pointed directly at Luo Qiu and said casually: "When their people come, you just need to tell them that you can read the portraits on these walls, and they will treat you preferentially. Of course, if you are generous enough,
You can say you need this woman to be your assistant."
At this time, Aria scratched her butt, yawned and said, "Of course, if they are smart enough, they will not agree to this request."
"Why!" Claudia became angry upon hearing this.
Aria pointed at herself and said, "Because, this is how I succeeded in escaping...well, I once succeeded."
"You!" Claudia was so angry that her voice trembled.
Aria laughed heartily. She didn't know whether he had this kind of temper in the first place or was trying to have fun in this place... forcing a smile.
"So, this place was discovered by outsiders first." Boss Luo was not very interested in the quarrel between Aria and Claudia. "They want to find out the past from this underground pyramid."
The mysterious power of the Seventh Dynasty has been entrenched in this place for at least ten years... This is probably the situation."
Otto shrugged and said noncommittally: "I never said that they were looking for mysterious power... It is very possible that they were just looking for the wealth buried in the pyramid to be able to find the tomb chamber inside the pyramid, and everything in it,
They will all be treasures, right?"
Boss Luo smiled lightly, "Mr. Otto has been studying it for some time... I don't know if he has discovered anything."
"I have no obligation to share this information with you... you." Otto waved his hand, "Young man, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to know anything, just rely on your own efforts... I have handed over the method.
Here you go."
After saying that, Otto found a corner and shrank in completely... He didn't seem to worry about others doing anything bad to him, but in the blink of an eye, he could hear the sound of sleeping soundly.
"This guy is full of evil!" Claudia came to Boss Luo and lowered her voice and said in his ear: "I don't believe a word of what he said... some mysterious power must have been made up by this guy on the fly.
Something. If there really is such a thing, how could you say it casually? If it were me, I would definitely not tell anyone. It would be best if I found it myself."
"Real or false... we'll find out if we can't find it here." Luo Qiu smiled slightly.
Claudia said angrily: "How to find it? Don't forget, we are now imprisoned in this dark place!"
But Boss Luo walked directly to the big iron gate at this time, and then stretched out his hand to pull it, only to hear a click. The big iron gate, which was so heavy that it was estimated to be weighed in tons, was... unexpectedly pushed open!
"Fah, what happened?!" Aria suddenly jumped up. From the beginning, he did not fall asleep, but paid attention to everything in the cell all the time. "You...how did you open the door?"
"It seems they didn't lock the door before leaving." Luo Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Maybe they forgot."
I believe you as a ghost!
The lantern also appeared...inexplicably!
Aria shook his head. He looked at the big iron door that was opened and the passage behind the iron door. His expression changed... Finally, Aria stood up directly, looked at Otto and said, "Oh,
This is a revelation given to me by God! It must be helping us secretly, so if I don’t escape now, it would be really ungrateful!”
Otto opened his eyes and just said: "I hope you can succeed this time, Aria."
"Aren't you going to go with us?" Aria said hurriedly: "I promise that you will never be discovered this time, and you will never be captured again... Otto, this may be our last chance.
Otherwise, I estimate that I will have to dig deeper underground, and it is very likely that I will not be able to come out for the rest of my life, and will have to die of exhaustion here!"
Otto shook his head and said: "I don't want to leave here yet. The murals here are very precious and of great research value. I need to stay and protect these cultural heritages... Otherwise, these precious heritages will most likely be destroyed by them."
Drop. Aria, if you want to leave, do it now. At this point, they should be changing shifts, and their defenses are at their weakest at this time."
"Then...then I can't control you, old man." Aria shook her head and rushed out of the door in an instant.
"Mr. Otto, you said..." Boss Luo looked back at Otto and suddenly asked: "Where should I start?"
Otto suddenly took out a piece of yellowed paper folded into a square shape from his arms, "This is the internal structure diagram of the pyramid that I drew during this period. If you want to leave, do it now...
…This map should be able to help you.”
"Thank you, I will make good use of it." Boss Luo nodded.
At this time, Claudia directly grabbed the map and said calmly: "It's not safe to hold it. Give me some time and I'll prepare this map...three minutes, only three minutes."
It can only be said that within the scope of normal people, he is worthy of being a top student.
Just as Claudia was memorizing the map, Otto said abruptly: "If you don't want to leave, just look down at the lower right corner... There are many surprises there."
"Let me see." Boss Luo nodded, and then said jokingly: "Maybe even with a map, we still got lost in the end, and then walked back here again."
Otto stopped talking, probably he really fell asleep this time.
Before the three minutes were up, Claudia said in a deep voice: "Okay, I've memorized it all... Even if you lose the map, we don't know how to get back!"
"Then, let's go." Luo Qiu walked ahead, stepped directly through the iron gate, and left the cell.
Claudia quickly followed.
In the cell, Otto himself was suddenly the only one left... He looked at the large iron door with doubts, and said to himself: "Strange... Did you really forget to lock this door? This young man
Guy, you are a little too calm, could it be... [inhuman]?"
Otto shook his head. He didn't like the existence of [non-humans], especially in the excavation of ruins. Because [non-humans] were always much better than ordinary people when doing these jobs.
"I hope you can find something good..." Otto gave a weird smile at the end, and then fell asleep.
…
…
"None of what this guy named Otto said is true!"
On the way forward, not only did they not encounter the thugs outside, but the journey was smooth... It felt like they were going straight down. Although they were not out of danger yet, Claudia was obviously more relaxed at this time, "For the sake of
To protect cultural relics and choose to stay, to deal with those thugs and so on... This kind of character is really not ordinary noble! Oh, you are going wrong! This is the way to leave. The way you are going is to go deeper.
of!"
"You're right." Boss Luo looked at the map in his hand, "The direction marked on the map is correct."
Claudia couldn't help but be startled, and then said in disbelief: "Wait a minute, are you really planning to go to the place that guy said?"
"Why not." Boss Luo smiled and said, "We are here to explore."
"No, it's too dangerous!" Claudia shook her head violently, "Let's not mention that we don't know what is in this place...On the way here, we are very likely to encounter those thugs! I don't want to
Taken back!"
"Classmate Claudia." Boss Luo said softly at this time: "You will protect me, right? You have learned Taekwondo, Karate, and Tai Chi."
"I'm just bluffing... Oh, yes, I know Taekwondo, Karate, and Tai Chi!" Claudia nodded at this time, then folded her hands and said seriously: "I'm very good, I can be a
Beat ten!”
"It's really reliable." Boss Luo smiled and said, "Classmate Claudia."
