Chapter 960 Going Deep Into the Ruins
Chapter 960: Going deep into the ruins
Although the current exploration team has combined the elite forces of the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Dusk Tower and has considerable strength, precisely because they are the elites under his command, Lin Li is even more reluctant to suffer any losses from them. Now, there are exploratory teams from the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family exploring the road ahead. This is a good thing that Lin Li can only hope for, so naturally he will not rush to follow.
In fact, this was not what Hoffman had in mind. Asking Lin Li for his opinion was just out of politeness. Even if Lin Li really wanted to go in at this time, he was ready to persuade him.
At this moment, after hearing Lin Li's answer, a sly smile appeared on Hoffman's fat face again, and he said, "Haha, that's exactly what I meant."
Lin Li glanced at the huge ice and snow cemetery, turned to his subordinates and said: "Although you won't go in, don't be idle. Take a look at these monster corpses. Many of them are legendary. Go and smash them open." Take out the magic crystal, it would be a waste to leave it here anyway."
"Yes, President," Elan and others responded, and immediately led others to destroy the ice sculpture.
These frozen corpses of monsters are unknown how old they are, but the legendary level magic crystals will not disappear under the passage of time. Instead, like a magician meditating, they will continue to absorb the surrounding magic elements over time. , gradually grew stronger.
"Haha, President Ferre is really..." Hoffman shook his head in a funny way. The young president in front of him was the same as when he was young, and he would not let go of any benefit.
"I'm making you laugh. The Twilight Tower has just been established not long ago, and its foundation is still very weak." Lin Li said to Hoffman very humbly, and the other meaning was that for this small profit, you Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce should not follow it. Fight.
Hearing Lin Li's answer, Hoffman suddenly felt depressed: Others don't know how rich you are, how can I still be unclear? Not to mention the gains from exploring Sky City and Osric's Tomb, just from the income from potions and forging businesses, the wealth accumulated in the past two years is definitely not inferior to any top power in Qingfeng Plain, and probably compared to Flash Gold Business It’s not much different, right? How dare you say you have a weak foundation?
The magicians of the Tower of Twilight have already taken action at this time. Although the ice has existed for unknown years, it does not take much effort for these great magicians to break it. It didn't take long for them to dig out legendary magic crystals exuding powerful magic waves from the ice sculpture.
There are thousands of monster corpses in the entire ice and snow cemetery, some of which are still buried deep underground. During this period, the Tower of Dusk dug up more than a dozen legendary magic crystals. You know, a legendary magic crystal is worth a sky-high price in the outside world. These dozen legendary magic crystals are also a huge fortune for any force. Even the wealthy Hoffman can't help feeling a little bit at this time. envious.
The Tower of Dusk had just swept the ice and snow cemetery when suddenly there was a strange movement in the palace, and then a group of figures retreated from the palace gate as if they were fleeing. These people were the exploratory teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family who entered the mausoleum first. However, at this time, each of them looked quite embarrassed, and many of them were injured.
As competitors, seeing the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family's exploration team in such a mess, Hoffman and Lin Li should be gloating, but at this time there was no smile on their faces. The two men looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They turned back and gave orders to their own people. They changed their original plan and asked their men to resettle the camp here.
Soon, the tent in the center of the camp was erected first, and the top brass of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Dusk Tower also walked in immediately. Not only Hoffman and Lin Li, but also other high-level officials from the two factions had extremely serious faces, making the atmosphere in the tent feel particularly solemn.
"I can't believe that they had only been in for a long time and they came out in such a mess." There was no evil smile on Hoffman's fat face at this time. Instead, his brows were squeezed into a knot, revealing indescribable anxiety. .
Lin Li's expression was also not relaxed. He shook his head and said, "Yes, although the strength of their exploration team is somewhat different from ours, it is indeed too unexpected to cause such losses in such a short period of time." We didn’t expect it.”
The strength of both parties was clear to each other from the moment they met. Therefore, seeing the exploratory teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family withdraw in embarrassment, Lin Li and Hoffman immediately made an accurate judgment that the other party was in the mausoleum. In such a short period of time, at least a dozen strong men above level 15 were injured.
Everyone knew that this mausoleum was definitely not simple, but no one thought it would be so simple. The exploration team of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family has more than 300 strong men with strength above level 15, as well as more than a dozen legendary strong men. Such strength is not bad. However, they had only entered the mausoleum for a short time, less than half a day, maybe only two or three hours. They must have not gone far in the mausoleum, but they had already suffered such a huge loss, so what if they went deeper into the mausoleum.
Although losses are inevitable when exploring the ruins, neither Hoffman nor Lin Li want to see such losses, especially since this is just the beginning. For any force, talent is the most important thing. If you are severely damaged in order to explore a ruins, no matter how much wealth you get, what will happen.
In response to the losses of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family exploration team, Hoffman, Lin Li and others had to renegotiate the issue of exploring the ruins. They are unwilling to suffer too many losses to their elite team during the exploration process, but they are also unwilling to abandon the tomb like this. After all, this is the tomb of Prince Breshir. Once the exploration is completed, the harvest will definitely be incomparable. Astonishing.
"President, the exploratory teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family have resettled their tents outside the mausoleum. Several leaders of the other party's clan have also entered the central camp, and the entire camp is very tightly guarded." The person responsible for monitoring the other party's movements , enter the tent and report to Hoffman and others.
Hoffman nodded, waved his men to leave, and then said to Lin Li and others: "It seems that they have not given up exploring the tomb."
Although when he first entered the Gargas Grand Canyon and found the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family's exploration team, Hoffman was as unhappy as if he had eaten a fly, but now he really doesn't want the other party to quit. Facing the unknown dangers in the tomb of Prince Breshir, who is more suitable to be a pathfinder than the exploration team of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family!
"I'm afraid they will be frightened and wait for us to become pathfinders, so we still have to make plans to rely on ourselves." Lin Li doesn't plan to spend too much time here. He has more important things waiting to go. It's impossible to spend time here with the other party. If the other party is really frightened, then Lin Li has only two choices, either entering the mausoleum or retreating directly to the Tower of Twilight. What ruins are not as important as the catastrophe that will happen soon.
"Yes, it's better to have them to explore the road without them. We also have to think of ways to explore this tomb. Now everyone, take a look at these things now and tell us what you think." Hoffman gestured. After a while, someone nearby put the original information and excavated items on the table again.
To be honest, what can be studied about these things has already been imprinted in everyone's minds. Now if you want to find some new clues from them, it is simply like creating something out of thin air. Everyone looked at the items on the table with wry smiles on their faces and frowned, but no one spoke for a long time.
"Just looking at these things is no longer of much use. I think we should think about it from another angle." Davos, who was sitting next to Basel, suddenly said.
Suddenly everyone in the tent focused their attention on Davos, with some expectation in their eyes. After all, this person is an archaeological authority well-known throughout the Lan Kingdom. He has written countless academic works and often has unexpected and unique insights in archaeology.
Facing the scorching gazes of many legendary powerhouses, Davos scratched his fluffy beard and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to look at me like this. I'm not someone from Breshear. For this mausoleum, I don’t know much more than you do.”
"Master Davos is joking. If you have any new ideas, please tell me." Although Hoffman is the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and a famous legendary powerhouse, he is still very polite to Davos.
Demons are power, potions are power, magic patterns are power, and the knowledge of the abyss is also a kind of power. Although Davos does not have legendary level strength, he does have more profound knowledge than those legendary strong men who have lived for hundreds of years. No one present dared to look down upon him in the slightest.
"This is a bit difficult for me. I just want to give you a direction for thinking. I hope you can think of something." Although Davos was a little informal, he was not ungrateful. He pointed to the broken design drawing on the table and said : "Although this design drawing is incomplete, it at least tells us the fact that the design and construction of this mausoleum was indeed completed by the top craftsmen of the dwarves, just as the legend says. So, since it was built by the dwarves Yes, there will inevitably be some dwarf habits left in the tomb, you might as well think about it from this aspect."
After listening to Davos's words, everyone fell into thinking. This is indeed a direction. Since the situation in the tomb cannot be known exactly, based on the inherent habits of the dwarf craftsmen, we should be able to deduce some clues about the interior of the tomb. .
"According to historical records, we can get the approximate death year of Prince Breshir. During this period, the most famous craftsmen in the dwarf kingdom were Diak, Salf, and Moratla." summarized by Hoffman With everyone's information, he listed the names of the dwarf craftsmen.
"The master blacksmith Diak is said to have gone deep into the Haiga Mountains for several years in order to find herbs to cure his daughter's terminal illness. If the legend is true, then he may not have the chance to build this mausoleum."
"Molatra is the chief of the Bronze Furnace Tribe of the Dwarf Kingdom. It is said that he benefited a lot during the reign of Prince Breshir, and also received relief from Breshir during the great famine. Therefore, the construction of Breshir's mausoleum is something like He should be indispensable for the project, and with his skills, he is probably one of the presiding officers of the construction."
"The original owner of this design is said to be a descendant of Master Salf, so..."
Everyone was talking to each other, verifying some legends about the famous craftsmen of the dwarf kingdom, and Hoffman also highlighted a few names in his writing. In the end, although it cannot be said with absolute certainty, there is an 80% chance that the several famous dwarf craftsmen in history may have participated in the construction of the tomb.
And there are more issues to discuss next. After all, it has been a long time ago, and even the serious historical materials may not be true, not to mention the many unofficial legends. What they have to do is to use these historical materials or unofficial legends to sort out the essentials and find out the habits and characteristics of these dwarf master craftsmen. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net This is not a simple matter matter.
However, everyone has intentionally or unintentionally overlooked one thing. For this entire mausoleum, the dwarf craftsmen are responsible for the overall construction, but the internal settings of magic traps, mechanisms, etc. are definitely not something that dwarves can do. . For an exploration team, the real threats are the hard-to-prevent traps and the possible presence of powerful tomb guards, not the structure of the tomb.
The problem is that apart from discussing this and finding a breakthrough from this aspect, they seem to have no other way to understand this tomb. Yes, among them there is Davos, an authority in the field of archeology, but Davos is not a god. Although he is good at seeing the true nature of things from subtle clues, if there are not even a few useful clues, he can only It is impossible to do anything.
After the heated discussion, there was a dead silence. Everyone knew that the real gains from this discussion were actually quite limited. And with the discussion, unconfirmed legends brought more questions to everyone. Instead of gradually becoming clear, the issue about the tomb was shrouded in more and more questions.
"No, it's useless to discuss it like this. With such a limited understanding, it's impossible for me to take risks with my subordinates." Lin Li rubbed his swollen forehead and felt helpless in his words.
