Ordinary travelers, because they are very interested in ancient civilizations, quit their jobs and came to this desert, but they did not expect to fall into the hands of these thugs.
The words of a vicissitudes man named Otto... Claudia didn't believe it at all, but she obviously didn't intend to tell the truth.
Inside the cell, there seemed to be a clear divide, and Claudia and Aria stared at each other. As for Boss Luo, he discussed the murals on the wall with Otto.
Claudia had no idea when Luo Qiu became so familiar with the man who called himself Otto... It seemed that there was not even a formal and sincere self-introduction between the two parties
It seems that Aria is also puzzled by the same question at this time... staring with Claudia again.
In the cell, only Boss Luo and Otto were talking.
"This seems to record a sacrificial ceremony." Luo Qiu pointed to one of the murals, "But the exact date is unknown for now...does Mr. Otto know?"
"This should be the period between the Seventh Dynasty and the Eighth Dynasty." Autuo sat on the ground, eating quite a lot of food, and said indifferently: "It is very likely that it is the royal family of the Seventh Dynasty... According to records, The seventh dynasty existed for a very short period of time, only seventy days. This dynasty seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared overnight."
Claudia didn't have much research on the history of ancient civilizations, but she couldn't help feeling a little funny about a regime that only existed for 70 days but claimed to be a dynasty. "It disappeared overnight? Are you sure it wasn't because it was attacked and wiped out?"
Otto glanced at Claudia casually, "It really disappeared overnight... Not only the dynasty disappeared, but even its palace. It is said that this palace is magnificent, but it disappeared overnight. There's sand left."
Claudia shook her head, "The resources in ancient times were not necessarily richer than they are now. The so-called resplendent royal palace may be as tall as a three-story building now... The weather in the desert is constantly changing, and the so-called disappearing overnight, Maybe it's just being swallowed by the storm."
Otto didn't deny it, but he didn't affirm it either. He just said indifferently: "There are legends that the emergence of the Seventh Dynasty is because the king got a treasure that can grant any wish, so a huge castle appeared in the desert... But Because the king broke his original promise, all his possessions were eventually taken away by mysterious forces. I speculate that the sacrificial murals carved here are likely to be held 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, but the one he could understand was one that caught the attention of Luo Qiu and Otto, and he probably understood the meaning of this mural, "Pray for forgiveness." Sacrifice, it is really barbaric to use Chinese people to perform sacrifices! Anyway, I don’t believe that such a thing as a huge castle appeared overnight and the kingship was established. Besides, this is just your guessing out of thin air, right?”
Otto suddenly looked at Claudia, sizing her up carefully... Claudia, who was looking straight at her, felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously leaned towards Boss Luo.
Boss Luo seemed to have not seen it, and asked curiously at this moment: "What is this mysterious power?"
Otto shook his head: "I'm not very clear about the details. After all, the murals here are too old, and many of them have become blurred... and the only ones that can be interpreted are also incomplete. At present, The only thing that can be known for sure is that the Seventh Dynasty did exist. Although the disappeared palace cannot be found, we went to find this place."
"Those people outside left Mr. Otto for you to interpret the murals on the wall?" 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 the underground pyramid of this building?"
"This pyramid should have been buried, so it looks like it was built underground." Otto thought for a while and said, "Their leader broke into this place by accident... In fact, over the years, they have looted everywhere and even put A large part of the reason why people are arrested is that you are not the first ones to be caught to go to the lower pyramids. In the past ten years or so, foreign tourists have been caught to this place. Come, do the hard digging."
"We...will we also be arrested to dig this pyramid?" Claudia thought of something sharply 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 that needs to be dug. But there is another way to temporarily exempt you from this kind of coolie work."
"What way?" Claudia asked hastily.
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 the walls, and they will give you preferential treatment. Of course, if you are generous enough, You can say you need this woman as your assistant."
At this time, Aria scratched her butt and yawned to break the stage: "Of course, if they are smart enough, they will definitely not agree to this request."
"Why!" Claudia became angry when she heard it.
Aria pointed to herself and said, "Because, that's how I escaped successfully... well, I used to succeed."
"You!" Claudia's voice trembled with anger.
Aria laughed out loud, not knowing if he had this kind of temperament originally, or if he was trying to have fun in this place... He forced a smile on his face.
"So, this place was first discovered by outsiders." Boss Luo is not very interested in the bickering between Aria and Claudia, "They want to find out from this underground pyramid. The mysterious power of the Seventh Dynasty has been entrenched in this place for at least ten years... The situation is probably like this."
Otto shrugged and said noncommittally: "I never said that they were looking for mysterious power... It is very possible that they can find the tomb inside the pyramid just for the wealth buried in the pyramid. It will be a treasure, won't it?"
Boss Luo smiled lightly, "Mr. Otto has been researching for some time... I don't know if he has found anything."
"I'm not obliged 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 something, you can rely on your own efforts... The method, I have given is you."
After that, Otto found a corner, and shrank in with his whole body... He didn't seem to worry about others being against him at all, but in the blink of an eye, there was already the sound of snoring soundly.
"This guy is full of bad water!" Claudia came to Boss Luo and whispered in his ear, "I don't believe a single word he said... What mysterious power must be something this guy made up temporarily If there is such a thing, how can it be said casually? If it were me, I would definitely not tell anyone, and it would be best if I found it myself."
"Really, fake... We can find out if we look 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 in front of 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 thick that it was estimated to be calculated in tons, was... unexpectedly pushed open!
"F, what happened?!" Aria jumped up at this moment. From the beginning, he didn't fall asleep, but paid attention to everything in the cell all the time, "You...how did you open the door?"
"It seems that they didn't lock the door before leaving." Luo Qiu said with a slight smile, "Maybe they forgot."
I believe you ghost!
The foreign lamp is also... inexplicably appearing!
Aria shook his head. He looked at the big iron gate that was opened, looked at the passage behind the iron gate, and his expression changed... Finally, Aria stood up directly, looked at Otto and said, "Oh, this It’s a revelation from God! It must be helping us in the dark, so if I don’t escape now, it’s really impious!”
Otto opened his eyes and just said: "I hope you can succeed this time, Aria."
"Aren't you going with me?" Aria said hastily at this time: "I promise, I will never be discovered this time, and I will never be caught again... Otto, this may be our last chance. Otherwise , I estimate that I will go to a deeper underground to carry out excavation work, and it is very likely that I will not be able to get out for the rest of my life, and I will only be exhausted here in the end!"
Otto shook his head and said, "I don't want to leave here yet. The murals here are very precious and valuable for research. I need to stay and protect these cultural heritages... Otherwise, these precious heritages may be destroyed by them ...Aria, if you want to leave, just take advantage of it now, at this point, they should just change shifts, and the defense is the loosest at this time."
"Then...then I can't control you, old man." Aria shook her head and rushed out the door in an instant.
"Mr. Otto, tell me..." Boss Luo looked back at Otto at this moment, and suddenly asked, "Where should I start?"
Otto suddenly pulled out a piece of yellowed paper folded into a square from his pocket, "This is the internal structure diagram of the pyramid I drew during this period. If you want to leave, do so 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 grabbed the map directly, and said calmly: "It's not safe to hold it, give me a little time, I will prepare this map... three minutes, only three minutes."
It can only be said that within the category of normal people, he is worthy of being a top student.
Just as Claudia memorized the map by heart, Otto said suddenly: "If you don't want to leave, don't put your head down and look at the lower right corner... There are many surprises there."
"Let me see the situation." Boss Luo nodded, and immediately said jokingly: "Maybe even if there is a map, we still got lost in the end, and then walked back here."
Otto stopped talking, probably this time he really fell asleep.
Before three minutes were up, Claudia said in a deep voice, "Okay, I've memorized them all... Even if you lose the map, we don't know how to get back!"
"Then, let's go." Luo Qiu walked ahead, directly stepped over the iron gate, and left the cell.
Claudia quickly followed.
In the cell, Otto was the only one left at once... He looked at the big iron door that was concealed suspiciously, and said to himself: "It's strange... I really forgot to lock this door? This young guy, It's a bit too calm, could it be... [inhuman]."
Otto shook his head. He didn't like the existence of [Inhumans], especially in the excavation of ruins and so on. Because [non-human] is always much better than ordinary people when they are engaged in these jobs.
"I hope you can find something good..." Otto finally smiled strangely, and then fell into a deep sleep.
…
…
"This guy named Otto, none of his words are true!"
On the way forward, not only did they not encounter the thugs outside, they even went smoothly along the way... It felt like they were walking straight down. Although they were not out of danger, Claudia was obviously relaxed at this time, "In order to protect Choose to keep the cultural relics, deal with those thugs and so on... This character is really not ordinary noble! Hey, I went wrong! The way to leave is this way, and the way you are going is going to a deeper place! "
"It's not the wrong way." Boss Luo looked at the map in his hand, "The direction marked on the map is correct."
Claudia couldn't help being startled, and then said in disbelief: "Wait, you really plan to go to the place that guy said, right?"
"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 say that we don't know what's in this place at all... just on the way here, it's very likely that we will meet those thugs! I don't want to be Take it back!"
"Classmate Claudia." Boss Luo said softly at this time: "You will protect me, right? You have learned taekwondo and karate, and you can also do Tai Chi."
"I'm just bluffing... Oh, yes, I know taekwondo, karate, and Tai Chi!" Claudia nodded at this moment, and then put her hands in circles, saying in a serious way: "I'm so good, I can fight alone!" Ten!"
"It's really reliable." Boss Luo smiled and said, "Student Claudia."
"That is!"
