Now that the riverbed has been found, will the mausoleum be far away?

The answer is quite far away.

But it's much better than the rambling search.

He took out the tools from his backpack, took advantage of the deep pit he had dug, set up a simple tent, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food indiscriminately, and lay down in the tent and chatted with the phoenix for a while, and then fell asleep hastily.

In the early hours of the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, I woke up, washed up briefly, and had a full meal, I quickly put away the tent, jumped out of the deep pit, and began another day's journey.

With the riverbed as the axis, I began to grope in the direction east of the riverbed.

The map indicates that the stone carving is about 500 meters east of the riverbed, but I don't know which part of the riverbed it is.

And I don't know which part of the riverbed the pit I camped in yesterday belongs to.

With both cases unknown, I had to expand my search.

Although it can be tiring to expand the scope of your search, you finally have a definite goal, and as long as you follow the goal, there will always be results.

Almost every few meters forward, I would dig a shallow pit with a large knife and carefully observe the soil layer at the bottom of the pit.

There is a reason for this, according to the wise man, although the previous orc king ordered the removal of the two stone sculptures, it was only to destroy them themselves, not to preserve them, so the craftsmen did not dig up the foundation together, but used cutting tools to cut the stone statues from the foundation joint, and the two foundations were preserved intact.

The wise man also said that the two stone sculptures were extremely large, and the bases that held them in place were even more spectacular - not only were they more than a meter high, but they also had a base that could almost sleep four adults side by side!

Even if it is buried by the wind and sand, I think the huge base made of white marble will not be affected, right?

As long as the pedestal is still there, there is a chance that it will be encountered when digging shallowly.

With this in mind, I kept repeating the practice of digging a shallow pit every few meters.

This went on for more than seven hours, and finally I found the huge white marble base.

Leaning on the side of the base, I picked up the wine bag and poured it violently, the mellow taste stimulated my taste buds, swelled my excitement, and I felt out the call crystal, and I immediately informed Master Dewey of this matter.

Master Dewey was also pleased with my efforts.

The next thing is to dig out the entrance to the mausoleum according to the map signs.

According to Fred Alexander's description, the entrance to the mausoleum was buried about five meters deep in the ground, and the door was sealed by Mithril, but these Mithril did not bless the power of ancient writing, and although it may take some force, it can still be destroyed.

Since the first hurdle I'm about to face is the Mithril Gate, it's a must to recharge my batteries.

Before it was dark, I set up an improvised tent, ate, chatted, and rested.

Meimei slept for a while, woke up again, the sky was already bright, stood up, stretched her muscles, and only felt that her whole body was full of strength.

After doing some morning exercise, I took out my handkerchief to wipe the sweat stains off my body, and after a full meal, I began today's task - digging a pit.

It wasn't a difficult task to dig a five-metre deep pit, but it was only after digging the pit that I really had to face the first hurdle.

The hardness of Mithril is obvious to all, and even if the Great Tai Dao condenses the killing intent, it is not easy to split this heavy Mithril wall.

I slashed left and right in batches, and with great effort, I only cut off a layer a few centimeters thick.

Leaning against the earthen wall, panting, I remembered Fred Alexander's description of the Mithril Wall: "I liked the pure white of Mithril so much that I named it to block the door, and I remember that I made a point of emphasizing that the Mithril Wall used to block the door should not be too thin, at least a meter thick. ”

A meter-thick wall of Mithril...... How long do I have to dig up?

With a black line, I dialed Master Dewey's call crystal.

Master Dewey's voice soon came from the other end of the crystal: "It's Xiao Yi, what's the matter, have you encountered difficulties?" ”

"Yes," I said weakly, "Father-in-law, help me think of a way." ”

"What kind of problem is it that makes Xiao Yi embarrassed like this?" Master Dewey smiled, "Let's hear it." ”

"I have found the entrance to the mausoleum, and sure enough, as His Highness Alexander said, there is a thief-thick Mithril wall blocking the door, and I have only cut a layer a few centimeters thick, and I am afraid that it will take three or five days to dig up the entire Mithril wall."

"Mithril Wall" Master Dewey nodded: "That's a problem, so let's do it first, you go back to the airship to rest first, and I'll send a group of craftsmen who specialize in mining Mithril Concentrate to assist you." ”

"Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome at all," I tentatively suggested, "You can send a few powerful national forces, one move, I dare to guarantee that the Mithril Wall can be blown up, and this kind of thing is not a difficult thing for a strong person of that level, at least it is no problem to save your life......"

Before I could finish speaking, Master Dewey interrupted: "No, the power of the state cannot be assigned, you can only rely on your own strength to complete this task. ”

"Huh?" I wondered, "Why? This is not an oracle given to me by the God of Creation, it is just a tomb robbery, so there is no need to stipulate so many rules and regulations, right? ”

Master Dewey said: "You don't think there is so much need to follow so many rules and regulations in this matter, because you have not understood the essence of this matter. ”

He explained in a serious tone: "First of all, this mausoleum is the real tomb of Freed Alexander, the mausoleum of the first fairy king during the melee period, and there must be many precious historical documents buried in it, and secondly, in the early days of the melee, when disasters occurred frequently in the Zephyr Continent, many countries were helpless, they all asked His Royal Highness Alexander for help, these disaster statistics, it is said that with the death of His Royal Highness the Holy King Alexander, it disappeared without a trace, and it is preliminarily concluded that there are courtiers who took these disaster statistics as burial goods and buried them in the mausoleum, Now that the true tomb of His Highness Alexander has been found, it is necessary to bring out these records of calamity as well. ”

"I understand why you want historical documents, but I can't figure out what you want for the Calamity Register?" I was puzzled: "Those are already in the past, and those calamities have been wiped out by His Highness Alexander's army. ”

"Some of them were indeed exterminated by the army of His Highness Alexander," Master Dewey said, "but some of them were not, just like Achilles, who had been sleeping for a thousand years, could be revived again, and who dared to guarantee that those calamities would also be revived again." ”
