Chapter 474: Charles' accident

When Brando opened the sarcophagus.

At this moment, the temperature in the tomb had dropped to a certain level, and a layer of fluffy hoar frost was growing on the surrounding tomb walls, and a slight gurgling sound was faintly heard in the darkness. Yuta, who was standing at the door with the others, was slightly startled when she looked back for the source of the sound, only to find that the business lady next to her was pale, shivering with cold, and shaking her teeth. .

"Are you okay?" There was a strange flash in the eyes of the head of the scorching blue-eyed mercenary, and she didn't understand why the little girl was so frozen and insisted on standing here. However, she knew that the lord's fiancée should be the weakest among all the people present, so she kindly asked, "Should I send you out first?"

Roman hugged his shoulders with his hands, shivering with the cold, but while shaking his head like a rattle, he replied in a trembling tone: "No, no, no... The coffin, I, I, I want to see what's inside..."

"But aren't you cold?" Uta clearly looked at the other person as cold as death.

"I am cold..."

"Then I will send you out, okay?"

"No, it's not bad!" When Miss Merchant replied, it was obvious that her curiosity defeated her rational tone, and she fully expressed that even if she was frozen into an ice sculpture here, she must see what's inside the sarcophagus. It seems that if such a concept is placed in Brando's original era, at least it would be a pioneer in the search for truth or something.

"..."

Uta obviously didn’t understand the spirit of “being dying at the end of the day”. She looked at this weird little girl and was a bit speechless for a while. Of course she didn’t know the night that Buchi Madara invaded Eruin a year ago. At that time, Brando looked at Little Roman with a fearless look that was similar to her thoughts.

While the head of the mercenary was a bit speechless, Brando finally pried open the lid of the sarcophagus with the help of Charles. This huge sarcophagus is trapezoidal as a whole, somewhat similar to the style in the Egyptian Pharaoh’s tomb. From this point, it can be seen that it is completely different from the tomb customs of the contemporary Cruz cultural circle. The Cruze’s coffin is generally rectangular or Hexagonal like the coffin of a vampire, the culture of the Eruin people is the same as that of the Cruz people, and it is almost the same. The burial customs of the mountain people generally do not need to go to the coffin, but a tomb will be dug in the tomb. pit. Therefore Brando concluded that the tomb may be some years old, at least before the history of the mountain people.

To be on the safe side, Brando only pushed the lid of the coffin through a small gap, but he was stunned immediately. Judging from the fire light that penetrated through the cracks, the huge coffin seemed to be empty. There were no bones or mummies that should have occupied the main place at all, but there were quite a few buried gold and silver objects.

"The BOSS is not here?" Brando was suspicious. He carefully gestured to Charles on the side, and the two immediately pushed the lid of the coffin away, only to discover that there was nothing in the sarcophagus. Between the gold and silverware with oxidized surfaces, the center of the huge sarcophagus where the bones should have been contained, now lies quietly with a pile of crystal fragments.

Brando suddenly felt a chill rising from behind when he saw the crystal shards. Because these crystal fragments turned out to be a faint human figure lying on a piece of cloth, with obvious limbs and torso, but no head.

"Fuck, senior sister, don't scare me." Brando couldn't help muttering in a voice that he could only hear, but he looked sideways and didn't know what it was. .

"What the hell is this?" Charles couldn't help but was stunned when he saw the crystal shards in the coffin. Generally speaking, in the tombs of many places, there is the custom of making mummies into mummies. However, the methods of making mummies are various and strange, but people have never been seen in the form of crystals. And there is no head yet, which is even more weird.

Brando carefully inspected the inside of the coffin, and apart from the pile of human-shaped crystal shards, there was nothing else that looked like a remains. If you guessed it correctly, this should be the owner of this tomb. As for the burial objects next to him, Brando recognized a few familiar items in these burial objects at a glance. They are all magic equipment. It is estimated that these are these in the game. The reward for this BOSS battle.

Is this the boss? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but once again set his eyes on the pile of crystal shards. No, even though your mental counterattack is very sharp, but being broken into pieces by yourself instantly, isn't it so weak? Brando suddenly felt a bit confused by the second monk.

But it wasn't just Brando, Charles seemed to be familiar with the pile of human-shaped crystal shards in front of him. He was a little uncertain and mentioned in the spiritual communication: "It seems... this is the thing before, Boss."

Brando nodded and didn't answer. His eyes flashed, and suddenly he found something unusually familiar among the pile of burial objects. Lying between a large pile of gold and silverware, the thing was a palm-sized dark gray stone, with a dull surface that looked like fragments falling off the lid of a coffin. If it hadn't been for Brando, who was a little puzzled, and swept his eyes in the sarcophagus several times, I'm afraid I would have never noticed such an ordinary piece of stone.

But he gave a soft "Huh", grabbed the thing, and suddenly found that it 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 the size of a thumb. This piece of stone is the relic of Viscount Nasatsu, which he found in the "Forbidden Orchard" where the Golden Demon Tree is when he fled with Roman and Freya on the Xavier Mountain Road. Of course, it can also be said to be Antitina. Father's relic.

He remembered that among all the relics of Antitina's father at that time, only this piece of stone was the only thing he didn't recognize. He thought that this stone piece was some kind of alchemy material. After all, there are thousands of materials in the Amber Sword. He didn't know it and it was normal. He was a war-type professional, not a deputy player.

However, according to Tamar the alchemist's identification, this thing was not mineral, or was similar to other alchemy materials, without any magical reaction on it, and more like a piece of ordinary stone. Brando tried to lose it several times, but in the end he was not willing. After all, it was obtained in a special scene. It may be a plot-oriented item. If you lose it, you can't find it back.

But he didn't expect to find something similar to this piece of stone in an unnamed tomb in Tonigel at this moment.

What exactly is this

The appearance of this strange stone piece in these burial objects shows that it must have some value in itself, at least it has been approved by the owner of the tomb. Brando glanced at the other burial items. Although they are not priceless (after all, they are rewards for level 30 dungeons), at least most of them are magic items. pottery.

This piece of stone appeared in the hands of Antitina’s father, and now it appeared in this ancient tomb from hundreds of generations ago. Lando frowned.

He thought for a long time and couldn't reach a conclusion. The most reliable speculation is that this stone piece is a special kind of funerary. It may have been given a special meaning in a certain era, and Viscount Naimatsu happened to be an'archaeology'. Lovers, only this way everything makes sense. But this is a bit disrespectful to the deceased. After all, there is no side evidence to prove that Antitina's father was a tomb thief.

Besides, Viscount Naimatsu carries such an ordinary stone piece on his body at any time, and puts it together with the letter to Antitina, which shows that he is at least very proud of this collection. Brando can't think of this thing. What value is precious, this is not a flint spear tip from the Stone Age.

Brando thought for a while, and decided to put this stone away cautiously first, at least the appearance of this strange stone in the tomb shows that it may have gone through longer years than Eruin itself.

"Hey, there are destiny cards here."

Brando suddenly heard Shire say something in surprise during the spiritual message. He turned his head and saw that his attendant hooked his index finger into the sarcophagus, and a dark object flew from the layered spider web, like a box. The surface of the box has a positive triangle, inside the triangle. There is an engraved circle tangent to it. Two patterns form a peculiar symbol with some rising flame texture around it.

But his eyes flashed, but he saw a flash of silver light under the box, which was actually connected to a thin silver thread that was almost invisible to the naked eye. When Brando saw the silver thread, his face changed, and his voice tremblingly shouted:

"Quickly put it down!"

It was a pity that it was too late, and Charles had already grasped the box in his hands, and he looked back at his master in confusion.

But suddenly, the entire tomb began to vibrate, the floor shook violently, and the dust rustled down from the ceiling, and the surrounding load-bearing pillars began to tilt, making a sour rattling noise. Everyone now understands what's going on. It is obvious that someone has triggered an incredible mechanism.

"Ah!" Charles was taken aback: "Ah... Your lord, this is just an accident."

For him, this was really an accident, explaining from the card background that he was actually a wizard who grew up in an ivory tower. Unlike adventurers, almost all NPC wizards have grown up in the vast sea of books. They have nothing to do with adventure, let alone know where there are traps in the dungeon.

But Shire's strength made him and Brando ignore this.

And Brando also overlooked the more important point, the Shire is an aboriginal, not a player wizard.

"Fuck!" Brando suddenly lay in a big trough in his heart, and he immediately said: "Don't worry about any accidents, run, this tomb is going to collapse!" Most of the catacombs in Amber have self-destructing mechanisms. , It's just that players with a little experience won't be fooled. He is just sweating in his heart when he looks at Shire.

The two looked at each other and turned around at the same time.
