Chapter 0496: Gems

The archaeological captain took the medicine kit, took out gauze and anti-inflammatory potions, and the big man briefly treated the wound, and after a few minutes of rest, he struggled to his feet, turned his head to look at us, said nothing, and then took a deep breath and walked into the tomb again.

The big man was very righteous, and followed him closely, compared to the atmosphere in the tomb before, it was much calmer, not as eerie as before, I looked at the striker, got up and came to the door of the tomb, as just now, we still didn't go in, leaning on both sides of the stone door and hugging our shoulders to watch the excitement.

The two of them carefully walked through the stone statue, this time there were no more hallucinations, and they came to the sarcophagus smoothly, and after waiting for a long time to see that there was no movement, driven by curiosity, the striker and I couldn't help but walk over.

Hearing the footsteps, the archaeological captain glanced back at us, frowned slightly but still didn't speak, I knew that he was afraid that we would eat black and snatch the treasures he had worked so hard to get, but then he was relieved, because if we wanted to rob it, he couldn't stop it at all.

Standing on the edge of the sarcophagus, I didn't realize until this time, this sarcophagus itself is a treasure, the huge sarcophagus is two meters long and nearly one meter wide, it is actually carved from white jade, if such a huge jade is taken out and sold, the price must be astronomical.

But the most striking thing is the bright pearl-like gem on the coffin lid, inlaid at the top of a scepter, and the scepter is nailed in the sarcophagus, only revealing the top of the gem, the size of a one-dollar coin, the appearance is diamond-shaped, angular, crystal clear, and brilliant, like a transparent crystal, scattering a soft halo.

The scepter was made of pure gold, with a small groove at the top, and the gem was set in the groove, and a ring was set above the gem, and four curved pillars were made on the ring to connect to the top of the scepter, which looked like a small cage to hold the gem firmly to the scepter.

If you want to take it away, you can only destroy the pure gold ring on the gem, otherwise you can't take it out at all, and the other way is to take away the scepter, which is also a rare treasure, pure gold, worth a lot of money.

I have the impression that the priests, chiefs, and pharaohs of the ancient tribes will have a scepter in their hands that symbolizes power and status, and this high priest who doesn't know which tribe is naturally no exception, but his scepter seems to be a little too valuable, and I always think this thing is a bit evil.

"That's what you're looking for, risking your life?" I turned my head to look at the archaeological captain and asked, pointing to the gem of light.

"Yes, I've been looking for it for almost ten years! Finally found it today. The archaeological captain stared at the gem, and his eyes were about to fall out.

"Congratulations, it's beautiful, does it have a name?" I couldn't help but be amazed, I thought that he was an archaeologist who came to steal the treasures of the ancient tomb, and I didn't think that he had been looking for this thing for ten years, that is to say, when I had just joined the army, or before I joined the army, he had already started to search, and this required a lot of perseverance, which alone is worthy of admiration.

I'm not afraid that thieves are educated, but I'm afraid that thieves are patient, and it is impossible to escape the doom of any treasure that is remembered by such people.

"Of course, it has a beautiful name, Eyes of the Desert!" The archaeological captain stretched out his finger and cautiously approached the gem, and after several attempts, he still didn't dare to touch it.

"Eyes of the Desert!" I chewed on the name, thought about it for a long time to make sure I hadn't heard it, and then nodded in appreciation: "It's really beautiful, do you know where it comes from?" ”

The archaeological captain paused, gently stroked the white jade sarcophagus with his fingers, and said quietly: "This is the scepter passed down from generation to generation by the Cazera tribe, Cazera is a very prosperous tribe in ancient Egypt, which existed more than a thousand years ago, and then gradually died out due to war. ”

"It is said that this site is the last place where they existed, and this priest is the last patriarch of the tribe, legend has it that the gem on the scepter is because of the meteorite falling from the sky in the desert, smashing out a huge sinkhole, and then the sinkhole was found by the tribe's people, the patriarch at that time personally went down to the bottom, and next to the meteorite appeared this gem buried deep in the bottom of the desert, so it was named the Eye of the Desert, and after returning it was inlaid on the scepter, passed down from generation to generation."

"It is also rumored that the patriarch has received divine powers because of this gem, and can call the wind and rain to ensure the prosperity of the Kazera tribe!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but chuckle: "It's obvious that the rumors are false, this tribe has not survived for long, maybe it is because of this gem that it will be wiped out." ”

"Then I don't know, there is a theory that they disappeared because they were slaughtered after the defeat, but there is no evidence to check, who knows if it is true or not? Maybe they didn't disappear at all, and maybe they continue to this day! "Although the archaeological captain has investigated many sources, the disappearance of the Cazera tribe is still a mystery.

"You're so eager to get the gem, maybe you're a descendant of the Cazera tribe, right?" I stared at the archaeological captain with a suspicious look.

He paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "What are you kidding, I'm an American!" ”

"Then why are you so desperate to get it, is it just because it's priceless?" I'm even more curious, this guy doesn't look like a master who is short of money, and millions of commissions are thrown out casually, but it's six or seven million yuan in exchange!

"I'm interested in its powers, are you satisfied with this answer?" Anyone could tell that he was trying to perfunctory me.

"Do you think I'll be satisfied? I want to know your true purpose! I narrowed my eyes slightly, and it was obvious that it was threatening.

"That's my purpose, the Eyes of the Desert can take people into a fantasy realm, don't you think it's amazing?" The archaeological captain put on a look of great research value, but the look in his eyes told me that he was hiding something important.

"If you don't tell me the true purpose, I promise you won't get it." My face turned gloomy, and I really wasn't interested in going around in circles with him.

"This is my secret, I have the right to remain silent, if you want to rob me, there is no way, but I believe that the world-famous Caesar mercenaries will not do such a disgusting thing!" This guy actually blocked us with words first, and I was really embarrassed to do it when he said that.

"Just kidding! Please, we're not interested in it! The striker shrugged and came out to play a round.

"How are you going to get it out?" I looked at the Desert Eye that was embedded in the top of the scepter, and asked curiously, in fact, I really have no interest in this thing, the previous illusion is probably related to it, no matter how you look at it, I think it is a bad thing, and I even think that the demise of the Cazera tribe was caused by this thing.
