When Brando opened the sarcophagus.
At this moment, the temperature in the tomb had dropped to a certain level. A layer of white frost had formed on the walls of the tomb, and a faint gurgling sound could be heard in the darkness. Jutta, who was standing at the door with the others, was slightly startled when she heard the voice. She turned around to look for the source of the voice, only to find that it was the merchant lady beside her. Her face was pale, she was shivering from the cold, and her teeth were chattering.
"Are you okay?" A strange look flashed across the female mercenary leader's eyes. She couldn't understand why this little girl was still standing here despite being so cold. However, she knew that the 'fiancée' of the Lord was the weakest amongst all the people present, so she kindly asked, "Do you want me to send you out first?"
The Roman wrapped his arms around his shoulders and shivered from the cold. However, he shook his head like a rattle-drum and replied in a trembling voice, "No, no, no, no … I-I-I want to see Bubu Brando open the coffin. I-I-I want to see what's inside the coffin …"
"But aren't you cold?" Jutta clearly saw that the other party was freezing to death.
"I-I-I'm cold …"
"Then, shall I walk you out?"
"No, no, no!" When Romaine answered, it was obvious that her curiosity had won over her rationality. She fully expressed that she wanted to see what was inside the sarcophagus even if she had to be frozen into an ice sculpture. If such a concept was placed in Brando's era, she would at least be a pioneer in seeking the truth.
"…"
Jutta obviously did not understand the spirit of 'if one hears the truth in the morning, one can die in the evening'. She looked at the strange little girl and was a little speechless for a moment. Of course, she did not know that on the night when Madara invaded Erouine in Bucce a year ago, Brando had the same thought when he looked at the fearless little Roman.
While the female mercenary leader was speechless, Brando finally pried open the lid of the sarcophagus with the help of The Shire. This huge sarcophagus was trapezoidal, similar to the style of the Egyptian pharaohs' tombs. From this point, it could be seen that it was very different from the contemporary Cruz culture. The coffins of the Cruz people were generally rectangular or hexagonal like the coffins of the vampires. The culture of the Erouine people and the Cruz people were of the same origin, and there was not much difference. The burial customs of the mountain people generally did not require a coffin. Instead, they would dig a grave in the tomb. Therefore, Brando concluded that the tomb was probably quite old, at least before the history of the mountain people.
To be on the safe side, Brando only pushed the coffin lid open a small gap, but he was immediately stunned. Because from the light from the fire that seeped through the gap, the huge sarcophagus seemed to be empty. There were no skeletons or mummies that should have occupied the main position, but there were a lot of gold and silver objects buried with them.
"The BOSS is not in here?" Brando's heart was filled with doubts. He carefully gestured to The Shire beside him, and the two immediately pushed the lid open. Only then did they realize that the sarcophagus was not empty. Between the oxidized gold and silver objects, in the middle of the huge sarcophagus, where the skeletons should have been, there was a pile of crystal fragments lying quietly.
When Brando saw the crystal fragments, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. This was because the crystal shards were actually in the shape of a human lying on a piece of cloth. It had obvious limbs and a torso, but no head.
"Damn, senior sister, don't scare me." Brando couldn't help but mutter in a voice that only he could hear. But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell what the remains were.
"What the hell is this?" The Shire looked at the crystal fragments in the coffin, and couldn't help but be stunned. Generally speaking, many burial customs had the habit of making the buried into a mummy, but the method of making a mummy was very strange, but to make a person into a crystal-like form was unheard of. And there was no head, which was even more strange.
Brando carefully checked the inside of the coffin, except for the human-shaped crystal fragments, there was nothing else that looked like a skeleton. If he guessed correctly, this should be the owner of this tomb. As for the burial items beside it, Brendel recognized a few familiar items at a glance. They were all magic equipment. If this was in the game, these would be the reward for this BOSS battle.
Could this be the BOSS? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the pile of crystal fragments again. No way, although his spiritual counterattack was very sharp, but it was broken into pieces by him in a second, it can't be so weak, right? For a moment, Brendel was a little confused.
Not only Brando, The Shire also seemed to feel that the human-shaped crystal fragments in front of him were a little familiar. He said uncertainly in the telepathic message, "It seems like … this is the thing from before, boss."
Brando nodded and didn't answer. His eyes flashed, and suddenly he found an unusually familiar thing in the pile of burial items. That thing was lying in the pile of gold and silver, it was a palm-sized dark gray stone piece. Its surface was dull, and it looked like a fragment that had fallen off from the coffin lid. If Brando didn't feel a little puzzled, and his eyes scanned the stone coffin several times, he probably wouldn't have noticed such an ordinary stone piece.
But he softly said, "Eh?" and picked up the thing, and suddenly found that it was very similar to something he had seen before. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately took out something from his pocket.
It was also a stone piece, dull and dull. Other than the fact that it was only the size of a thumb, it was almost the same as the larger stone piece in Brando's hand. This small stone piece was a relic of Viscount Nathan that he found in the 'Forbidden Orchard' where the Golden Demonic Tree was when he fled with the Roman and Freya on the Zevail Mountain Path. Of course, it could also be said that it was a relic of Amandina's father.
He remembered that among all the relics of Amandina's father, this was the only thing he didn't recognize. At that time, he thought that this stone piece was some kind of alchemy material. After all, there were thousands of materials in The Amber Sword, and it was normal that he didn't recognize it. He was a combat class, not a secondary class player.
But later on, according to Alchemist Tamar's identification, this thing was not a mineral, nor was it similar to other alchemy materials. There was no magical reaction on it, and it was more like a normal stone piece. Brando wanted to throw it away a few times, but in the end, he couldn't bear to. After all, it was obtained in a special place, and it might be a storyline item. If he threw it away, he couldn't find it again.
But he didn't expect that he would find something similar to this stone piece in a nameless tomb in Tónigel.
What is this?
This strange stone piece appeared among the grave goods, which meant that it had some value, or at least it was recognized by the tomb owner. Brando glanced at the other grave goods. Although they weren't priceless (after all, they were rewards from a level 30 dungeon), but at least most of them were magical items. The rest represented the equivalent of art, gold, silver, and pottery.
This stone piece appeared in the hands of Amandina's father, and now it appeared hundreds of miles away in an ancient tomb from hundreds of years ago. The secrets of two different eras were intertwined, and Brando frowned.
He thought for a long time, but he couldn't come to a conclusion. The most reasonable guess was that this stone piece was some kind of special grave goods, and it might have been given a special meaning in a certain era. Viscount Nesson happened to be an 'archeologist' enthusiast, and this was the only explanation. But it was a little disrespectful to the deceased. After all, there was no evidence to prove that Amandina's father was a grave robber.
Moreover, Viscount Nesson always carried this ordinary stone piece with him, and placed it together with the letter he sent to Amandina. This meant that he was at least very proud of this item. Brando couldn't think of any value to this item, and it wasn't a flint spear tip from the Stone Age.
Brando thought for a while, and decided to carefully keep this stone piece. At least, this strange stone piece appeared in this tomb, which meant that it had lived for a much longer time than Erouine.
[Oh, there's a Card of Fate here.]
Brando suddenly heard The Shire's surprised voice through telepathy. He turned around and saw his attendant hooking his index finger into the sarcophagus. A black object flew out from the layers of spider webs. It looked like a box. On the surface of the box, there was a triangle carved in yang, and on the inside of the triangle, there was a circle carved in yin. The two patterns formed a strange symbol, and there were some rising flame patterns around the symbol.
But his eyes flashed, and he saw a silver flash under the box. It was actually connected to a thin silver line that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Brando's face changed when he saw the silver line, and his voice trembled as he shouted:
"Put it down!"
But it was too late. The Shire had already grabbed the box in his hands, and he looked back at his master in confusion.
But suddenly, the entire tomb began to tremble. The floor shook violently, and the dust on the ceiling rustled down. The pillars around them began to tilt, emitting a creaking sound that made one's teeth ache. Now everyone understood what was happening. It was obvious that someone had triggered an incredible mechanism.
"Ah!" The Shire jumped in fright, "Ah … My lord, this is just an accident."
To him, this was really an accident. The background of the card explained that he was actually a Magus who grew up in an ivory tower. Unlike adventurers, NPC Magi grew up in a vast sea of books. They had nothing to do with adventuring, and would not know where the traps in the dungeons were.
But The Shire's strength made him and Brando overlook this point.
And Brando had also neglected an important point. The Shire was a native, and not a player Magus.
"Holy shit!" Brando immediately cursed in his heart. He immediately said, "Don't worry about the accident. Run, this tomb is going to collapse!" Most of the underground tombs in Amber Room had self-destruct mechanisms, but players with a little experience would not fall for such a trick. Now, he looked at The Shire and felt a lot of sweat in his heart.
The two of them looked at each other and turned around at the same time.
