Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 447 Deep into the Tomb
"How about we just find a better place and dig deeper? This will also allow Xia Daiti to detect deeper places.

We were also able to learn more about the place and see if there were any strange earthy environments. "

Looking at Alka who was thinking, Simon next to him suggested.

Hearing this, Alka shook his head slightly: "What we are looking for should be a tomb, and it may be the tomb of a person in a high position. This kind of tomb is likely to have defensive measures.

If you dig down rashly, some defensive measures may be activated.And we don't know exactly how deep he is in the ground, after all, the area has experienced so many problems.

And the empire is thousands of years away from us. "

Xia Detti, who was next to him, also said: "The stone below is very hard, getting harder as you go down, and there is also the aura of the abyss that has settled.

Even if you dig down to a depth of 5 meters, the detection distance further down will not increase by 5 meters.Because the various auras settling below and the power of the earth will hinder my detection distance. "

After hearing this, Simon nodded and took back the suggestion he just made.

Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, frowned at his words. After thinking for a while, she said, "Perhaps we can first understand the style of tombs built by the Saraland Empire? And their funeral culture."

"Do you have any information about this?" Alka turned to Lucilia and asked.

It would certainly be better if there is information about this.

Lucilia nodded: "Yes, yes, but I was not interested in this thing at all before. It was only when I learned about the Saranan Empire that I learned that there was a book with such research and records."

"Wait for me, I'll look for it. I put all the books about the Saraland Empire in my pocket ring."

As she said that, Lucilia put her hand on her bracelet, closed her eyes and began to search carefully in her pocket.

It means that you have explored all the pocket space with your spirit, which is equivalent to rummaging through it with your eyes.

After only about half a minute, Lucilia held out a thick book in her hands. The cover was already a certain age.

"This is it."

As he spoke, he controlled the books to float up and started flipping through them.

He quickly turned to the information he needed.

Alka and others also leaned their heads to read the information in the book.

The above discusses some of the cultures of the Saraland Empire and traces their origins through the styles of funerals and tomb construction.Let people know more about some of the past customs of this empire, as well as folk customs and characters.

It even comes with many simple drawings, including some architectural styles of tombs, and even architectural drawings.

Detailed theory goes through these drawings.

Alka looked at the introduction. The funeral style was burial in the ground rather than at sea.This is relatively rare in an ocean world like the Infinite Sea.

I like to build the style of the tomb into various circles, or relatively regular shapes.

Of course, most of them will be round. Even the tombs of the royal family of the Salaland Empire are in a round style.

Because it is a burial, there will be the custom of funerary objects, and a stone called dry stone will be used to make the sarcophagus.

They believed that sarcophagi made of this stone would bring them peace and that the stone was gray in color.

But the stone exudes a faint plant fragrance, and the people of the Saraland Empire believe that they can return to the world in such a sarcophagus.

Didn’t he return to the embrace of the gods?In this world where there are clearly gods, this style is quite strange.

With the understanding, Alka also had a general understanding of the entire tomb style.

After understanding these styles, Alka immediately took another look at the map and re-read the treasure information.

Just as he thought, expansion did appear, but the expansion information that appeared was somewhat ambiguous.

[Left in a tomb that does not belong to him. 】

Although I don’t know the specific meaning of this message, it is at least confirmed that the place where the treasure is located is the tomb.

Based on the expansion of the information he just saw, it is basically certain that there is a tomb under their feet.

The treasure is in this tomb, and the depth of the tomb is very deep.

Thinking of this, Alka looked at the map.

Start by trying to draw a circle with your hands.

Because the golden treasure spot and the surrounding white spots are indeed counted as one area on the entire map.

Then Alka has reason to suspect that these treasures are in a tomb.

There is no way there are several different tombs under his feet. That would be too strange. According to the funeral style, the family tomb is a circle.

He was trying to draw a circle that could contain all the treasures.This can be used to determine the scope of the tomb.

At first he painted a circle with the golden treasure light spot as the center.

But no matter how you summarize it, this circle seems to be a bit too big, and there will be a lot of gaps.

Not very realistic.

After drawing several circles like this, Alka finally drew a circle that he was satisfied with.

That is, the golden light spots are not in the center of the tomb, but at the edge of the tomb, so that all the white light spots can be included in a more accurate circle.

The size of this tomb also falls within a relatively normal range.

Comparing the circle he drew, Alka began to make a simple plan for their current location.

The entire 1 kilometer circular area they had just explored was obviously too large.

The diameter of this circle should be only about 700 meters, and the error is only 1 kilometer at most.

"This should be the tomb of a powerful person. According to what it says, this kind of tomb should have the right passage.

Because of some big festivals, their descendants will enter the tomb to perform sacrifices. "

Alka said, starting from the circle he had just drawn, and based on the more classic tomb construction cases, he started to make a simple plan.

After some planning, a few points were determined.

"Let's dig down from these points."

Alka thought that this point should be outside the tomb, but it was probably closer to the tomb, making it easier to detect the edge of the tomb.

It is possible to detect the tomb without harming or affecting it.

Hearing Alka's words, several people nodded.

Start looking for the starting point.

After finding and labeling it, Simon began building a machine to mine it.He directly unfolded his treasure and drove a huge mecha.

The mecha's hands are assembled through a series of mechanical structures, including electric drills and tools for digging holes.

Once started, the effect was very strong and the efficiency was maxed out. Soon a seven or eight meter deep pit appeared, but it was not dug very big, just enough for Xia Daiti to jump in.

After digging, Xia Daiti jumped in directly and began to explore downwards.

"It was slightly extended by three meters, and there is still no strange situation."

Alka nodded, thought for a while and said, "Let's go to other points to dig the same deep pit first, and then continue to deepen the depth."

Simon nodded, and everyone acted again.

In this way, a total of 6 deep pits were dug. The dimensions of each pit were the same, but just as Xia Detti said.There was nothing more that could be detected in the extended detection distance, so everyone began to dig bit by bit.

…………

a few hours later.

The depth of No. 3 pit has reached 20 meters.

When Xia Detti jumped in again, this time her eyes shone with light and her mouth smiled.

"We found it. The curved wall of the man-made building is 40 meters deep from the ground. It is protected by very solid stones."

After hearing that the building was confirmed, everyone smiled. After working for so long, they finally gained something.

"There is still 30 meters away from where I am now." Xia Daitibi said after drawing.

Then he pointed in a direction.

Simon made a simple calculation and said: "Let's get closer and dig a new hole."

Since Simon said so, no one had any objection.

After finding the location, start digging downwards. This time you will dig a deep enough hole.And the rocks below and the aura of the abyss will have an impact, so you need to do it slowly and not in a hurry.After spending more than three hours, we finally reached a pit that was 45 meters deep.

You can already feel the breath of the abyss inside, which is immersed in the ground through the earth, affecting the scars of the entire world.

Expanding the entire cave entrance, Xia Daiti began a more careful exploration plan at the bottom of the cave.

It’s as detailed as how many meters need to be dug.

"Dig another three meters from here, and after three meters there will be only one meter away from the wall. Then I will check more carefully to see if there are any mechanisms or anything like that."

Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Simon nodded and jumped down again, starting to dig more lightly.This time, we can't be as fast as before, we have to be careful.

But after all, it was only a few meters and was quickly cleared. Xia Daiti once again stuck to the mud wall for detection.

Silver ripples passed through the stone wall and detected the location of the tomb.

She quickly determined the information she wanted to know.

"There is no mechanism in this direction, you can speak."

The last meter was quickly opened, and everyone could clearly see that the gray stone revealed after the soil was removed.

Although this stone is strong, it is not rare.It is a very common building material, and the stone of the anti-magic fortress is mainly made of this material.

"Can we dig?" Simon asked.

"Okay, there should be no problem if it's normal and mild."

Hearing this, Simon's Of course took action and soon opened the hole.Everyone can see the dark space inside.

There was a somewhat rotten smell coming from inside, as well as a dull smell.

"Now we just want to expand the hole."

"How about I go in first and take a look inside?" Lucilia asked, looking at the entrance of the cave.

The hole was just big enough for her to fit into.

Hearing this, Alka thought for a moment and nodded.

Lucilia's figure immediately escaped into the shadows, disappeared into place, and entered the entrance of the cave.

Start exploring inside the tomb.

However, she just explored around the entrance of the cave and then came out of the cave again.

"There should be no situation around here."

The small hole was enlarged by Simon until they could get through.

They also took out a steel frame for support in case their actions just caused any problems with the structure of the entire tomb.

After everything was ready, everyone slowly and cautiously entered the tomb.

After confirming that there was only a dull smell and no poisonous gas, everyone looked at the scene in the tomb through dark vision.

If there is danger inside, you can also use darkvision instead of using light.So as not to startle the snake.

Right next to them stood a sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus is completely sealed, and no information can be seen on it.

This is because each sarcophagus is custom-made after the death of the deceased, and is made through some kind of spell that can control the shape of the stone.

He knew this from the book he just read.

On the sarcophagus, there are also pattern carvings that were carried out when the sarcophagus was made.

Through dark vision, Alka looked at the pattern carvings on the sarcophagus. The patterns and some sentences on it described the life of the deceased.

As for the owner of the sarcophagus in front of him, his life was obviously not very exciting when he was alive, with only a few vague words.

It probably means a responsible father, a good brother and so on.

It is a relatively common scene.

What is painted on the mural should be a family portrait.

Although it is a bit strange to paint a family portrait on the coffin, it is the folk custom here after all.

There was a white outline among the pile of gravel and ashes next to the coffin. Alka walked over and gently moved it a few times with his legs to push away the gravel.

The white lines were wrapped in some kind of metal product. When Alka picked it up, the white lines shimmered and disappeared.

Apparently a common treasure.

Looking at the things in Alka's hand, Lucilia took a brief look.

It was a somewhat luxurious-looking hourglass that was older than the hourglasses they used to record time.

Of course, this does not mean that the time he recorded was not accurate enough, but in that era such a recording hourglass was obviously worth a lot of money.

Moreover, the shape of this hourglass is also very exquisite. After simply cleaning off the lime dirt on it, you can see that it is decorated with several gems and precious metals.

"Using this thing as one of the funerary objects shows that the deceased's occupation during his lifetime paid more attention to the concept of time.

Then it is very likely that the person lying in the coffin was once a government official of the Alaran Empire.

The government of the Saraland Empire was known for its efficiency at one time or another. "

Lucilia said after a brief reasoning.

Alka nodded and put away the hourglass.

Apparently a valuable little item.

It was their first gain after entering this tomb.

Looking around, this is a circular tomb, which can be easily divided into two parts.The first is the central part, which is a square-like place.

To build such a tomb, it is obvious that the tomb is of a family nature.Then in this square, you can learn some stories about this family, as well as a passage leading to the outside.

Of course, the channel has obviously been blocked long ago.

After all, it is under 40 meters.

You can then go to other tombs through the central square and passages.

These tombs are separated by walls like pizza, one block after another.

The sarcophagi stored in each cell are dead members of the family from the same era.

That is, family members of the same generation.

The tomb where Alka and the others are now is already at the end of the pizza, which means that it is probably in the later stages of use of this tomb.

There were two sarcophagi next to them, and they were a pair of brothers.

After passing through the passage and entering the central square, everyone was able to see this family.

Lucilia began to decipher the stone monument in the center of the square, which was built at a different time.

Documenting the family's high moments as well as their lowest moments.

This is a small family.

The founder of the original family was a wealthy businessman, and his descendants began to enter politics with money.

The most powerful person ever produced was the deputy to a city's top official.

After a brief understanding, everyone began to inspect the sarcophagi in each tomb.

Alka walked directly towards the place where the golden light spot was.

What he saw then was an equally broken gap in the wall.

In the gap, you can see that one corner of the sarcophagus has been damaged, using violent methods.

And next to the damaged part of the sarcophagus, there was a rotten corpse.

There are golden light spots next to the bones.

It was a cup completely covered in dust and all kinds of dirt.
