The light from the two kerosene lamps can already illuminate the inside of the box.
Covered by part of the shadow is a mottled stone slab. The professor put on his gloves and reached out to touch it, and the corner immediately turned into stone powder. Even if there is no air flow here, thousands of years have brought these stones to the end of their existence.
Without hesitation, the professor reached out and took out a small box from his pocket, opened it and took out the gold grain embedded in the lining.
Holding the gold grain in his hand, the palm was slightly tilted, and the gold grain fell on the stone slab.
Ding~
It was as if there were crisp bells ringing above the head, and when I looked down again, the stone slab had turned into pure gold.
"Sure enough!"
The professor was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to clamp the gold plate out. Only he can complete this action, and Jenkins can't imagine how heavy this thing is.
They also didn't forget to check the box itself, which was also gold after wiping off the black coating that had been deliberately applied to the surface. Although it is not very pure, judging from its size, the value of this box can exceed 200 pounds!
The two excitedly opened the second box, which was also gold, and inside the box was a stone slab of the same size.
"Give."
Without saying a word, Jenkins tore off a pocket sewn on his underwear, and handed his gold grain to the professor.
"I will make it up to you!"
The professor didn't refuse.
"No, but I hope you can share with me the research results on these two slates. Professor, I am actually very interested in the mystery of the end of the era."
"Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you, Jenkins. You are really a very devout believer and an excellent student. I heard from Oliver that your math and literature accomplishments are not bad. The sage really prefers you."
While sighing, the professor used Jenkins' gold particles to turn the last slate into gold, and then carefully carried it out of the box.
"It's all in unknown characters, which is really great!"
Professor Burns looked like a child who got candy, the expression on his face was extremely exciting.
"This is really, thank you sage, may your brilliance illuminate my way forward!"
He prayed loudly, and kept drawing the holy emblem on his chest.
Jenkins, who made a fortune, stopped touching the box, summoned the golden ring in spirituality and kissed it, and then opened the eyes of reality to scan the surrounding rock walls.
In the rock behind the box, a round object emitting red light appeared.
"Sure enough, this kind of guy who likes to play with the treasure room will never forget to hide something in the treasure room."
Jenkins laughed, the treasure chest itself was gold, and then buried something in the rock wall. Come to think of it, the gentleman who set up the treasure room thousands of years ago also had some kind of bad taste.
After the professor finished praying, Jenkins patted him on the shoulder:
"Professor, can I trouble you to dig this place?"
As he spoke, he took out the ceremonial silver dagger from the inside pocket of his coat, and carved a small cross on the rock.
"no problem."
The professor didn't ask why, stood up, activated his ability again, and clawed towards the rock with both hands. After a few clicks, it seemed to hit something.
The two were worried about destroying the things inside, or there were delicate mechanisms in the rock wall, so they used small brushes and screwdrivers to pick up a little bit of stone debris, and finally found a round shield embedded in the wall.
This shield does not look like a metal material, on the contrary, it is more like a wooden shield covered with a leather coat. In the center of the shield, the flying griffin-shaped emblem is rich in color, reflecting a dim light.
In the flickering light of the kerosene lamp, the shield embedded in the rock crevice looks very magical.
"Do you know him?"
Jenkins was sure that this was a [Supernatural] item belonging to the B series, but he didn't read enough information to recognize what it was. But the professor is different. After he joined the scribe, because of the particularity of his job, he became a researcher of the church to study special items, that is, a professional who tested the characteristics of the collected items.
They have access to a large amount of data every day, and they are familiar with the items that have been recorded, so they must know what this is better than Jenkins.
"B-09-4-2912, [Big Shield]?"
The professor said uncertainly, and then approached the rock wall with a kerosene lamp, but did not dare to touch it at all.
"It seems to be it."
"what's it for?"
Jenkins asked softly behind the old man, this is the first time he encountered a special item of armor type.
"In addition to its own shield function, anyone who touches it will become arrogant. And the longer the contact time, the higher the level of arrogance. A secret record shows that if you touch this thing continuously for more than 24 hours , the holder will have the courage to charge the saint with the shield**."
"that's all?"
Jenkins asked incredulously, isn't the malice too serious
"No, the most important thing is that the nine items from B-09-4-2911 to B-09-4-2919 all have the affix [Arrogance]. If the nine items are put together, they will form one Special gift, C-09-3-0099, [Armor of Courage]. I can't find the information on this item, only know the name, but it should be very powerful."
He looked at the shield with a heavy face, and a strong sense of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
"The more armor pieces held individually, the stronger the level of arrogance. But nine pieces in one..."
"There must be a lot of armor parts lost, right? How many pieces can this be found?"
Jenkins asked, according to the routine in knight novels, it should be very troublesome to gather such things.
"This is the ninth, and the other eight are in the [Sun and Justice] church."
The professor turned his head, his face was heavy, and Jenkins was stunned.
The shield was a big deal, but neither Jenkins nor the professor knew what to do with it. Leaving it in anyone's hands could lead to disaster.
They discussed briefly, and then took nothing. After blocking the entrance, he quickly returned to the city on the same road, waking up Dad at four o'clock in the morning.
The old man in pajamas was very angry at the behavior of the two of them staying up in the middle of the night, but after hearing about the shield, he also understood the importance of the matter.
In the end, the old man and the professor, who had changed their clothes, returned to the underground space to deal with the shield again, and Jenkins went home to sleep.
After all, in terms of knowledge, he can't compare to the old man and the professor, and in terms of force, he still can't compare to the old man and the professor.
Then take a rest for a day, the original plan to travel with Dad after dawn has also been postponed.
