Chapter 959: Dwarf Production
"How can the dwarves have the blueprint of this mausoleum in their hands?" After listening to Hoffman's introduction, this question is very critical, after all, it is the mausoleum of the High Elf royal family, and the danger contained in it is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is more dangerous to explore with a wrong drawing than to explore it step by step.
Hoffman didn't mind Lin Li's questioning, but explained seriously: "According to those sources, Prince Brehill's moderate rule back then made him have a very high prestige in the dwarf kingdom, and even made the whole dwarven kingdom mourn after his death. After that, the dwarven kingdom spontaneously mobilized almost all of the top craftsmen to design and build the mausoleum for him. And the drawings of this mausoleum were handed down from the descendants of the top craftsmen of those days. ”
Davos lay on the table without any manners, his eyes were close to the broken drawing and carefully observed it for a moment, and after Hoffman explained, he sat back in his place and said: "Judging from the ink traces and materials, the age of the drawings is real, and as for whether it is a drawing of this mausoleum, I think there should be an eighty percent possibility." ”
In fact, it is nothing to have this drawing, after all, the dwarven craftsmen are only responsible for building the mausoleum, and the various protective measures in the mausoleum are designed by the special personnel of the high elf clan. Moreover, this originally incomplete drawing is already quite broken, and there are very few parts that can really be seen.
From this drawing, what Lin Li and others can determine is only the general structure of the mausoleum, and it is not easy to obtain the treasure from this drawing alone. According to the information on the drawings, all they could know was that the mausoleum should be divided into seven floors, with the first six floors being the burial guards, and the seventh floor being where Prince Brehill's coffin was located. However, what exactly are the six layers in front of them, and what kind of differences there are between them, I can't see it from this drawing.
"Now, that's all the information we can find, and I'm afraid we have to explore the details of the mausoleum. The excavation outside seems to be stopping. Hoffman didn't have much to lose, and he didn't expect a drawing to be of much use, and it was quite good to get a little insight into the structure of the mausoleum.
However, when everyone discussed and prepared to enter the mausoleum, someone outside came to report that the exploration team of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family was missing.
"Although the lights are still on in the camp of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family, and there are people constantly patrolling, we found that the figures in those tents are all fake, and it is estimated that most of the personnel are no longer in the camp." The person in charge of monitoring said to Hoffman and Lin Li and others.
Hearing the news, everyone in the tent just made eye contact with each other, and their faces all showed a look of understanding. At this time, it was naturally impossible for the other party to suddenly withdraw, and it was obvious that they had also discovered the great value contained in this ruin, so they couldn't wait to enter the mausoleum first.
In the mausoleum of the High Elves, the stone carving scepter is not only a symbol of the status of the tomb owner, but also used to indicate the age of the tomb owner, each stone carving scepter represents ten years, so often the stone carving scepter in the High Elf Mausoleum may have hundreds or thousands of them. The exploration teams of the two families were exploring in the same area, and there was no reason why Lin Li could find the stone carving scepter here, but the other party found nothing.
If you find the stone carving scepter, the other party can naturally judge that this ruin is actually a High Elf tomb, and you may even conclude that the owner of the tomb is a High Elf royal family. Among all the relics of the High Elves, the mausoleum has always been recognized as the most valuable category, and the tomb of a High Elf royal family has an incomparably great temptation.
However, although they knew that they were preempted by the other party, the faces of Lin Li, Hoffman and the others did not show the slightest anxious look. The other party was so impatient, in addition to indicating that they might already know that this ruin was the tomb of the High Elf royal family, it also showed that their knowledge of the tomb seemed to be limited to that. If they knew that the owner of the mausoleum was Prince Bresil, the younger brother of the High Elf Empress, I am afraid that no amount of temptation would make them forget the word prudence.
"There's a good show!" Lin Li showed a playful smile.
And Hoffman's fat face, his eyes narrowed into thin slits, and he said with a somewhat undisguised sneer: "It just so happens that we have almost discussed it, so let's go and see what they can get from Prince Brescher's mausoleum." ”
What do you get? The mausoleum of the High Elf royal family is already very remarkable, and Prince Brehill, as the younger brother of the High Elf Empress, is the royal family of the royal family, can his tomb be so easy to excavate! The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk even got a broken design drawing, but they didn't have much confidence in excavating the mausoleum, and the other party broke into it so rashly, the result can be imagined.
Under the orders of Hoffman and Lin Li, the exploration teams of the two families immediately moved, simply cleaned up the camp, and did not need to do anything to cover people's eyes and objectives like the other side, and marched towards the depths of the Gargas Grand Canyon openly. On the side of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family's camp, the people left behind were also panicked when they saw this scene, and then they simply left the camp where the figure was shaking and followed far behind, under the tie of one of the principals.
The area where the camps of the two exploration teams are located is still some distance away from the real mausoleum, and the road in the canyon is winding, so in fact, Hoffman and Lin Li and others have not really seen the true face of the mausoleum. Along the way, they saw a lot of corpses of magical beasts, as well as some traces of magic traps and magic traps, but it was clear that these things did not bring any losses to the opposing team.
After walking for about five or six minutes, they turned a corner in the canyon, and everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. Although the Grand Canyon of Gargas is not narrow, otherwise it would not be called an impassable moat, but the area in front of everyone is obviously much more open than the others. In the entire Grand Canyon that spans thousands of miles, this section should be regarded as the widest section, and it is also the most impossible to cross.
In addition to the fact that this canyon is wider, a more important reason is that there is a very terrifying power vortex here. Under the influence of this huge vortex of power, even a flying bird or a powerful flying demonic beast would be instantly torn to pieces by that force if they wanted to fly over it. It had long been thought that this vortex of power was a storm that formed naturally in the canyon, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
In the center, there stands a domed, palace-like building, which is slightly different from the traditional style of the High Elves, and does not have many ornate decorations on the outside, making it feel elegant but not luxurious. The material used for the entire building is like ice carved jade, emitting a crystal light at the bottom of the dark canyon, and the terrifying vortex of power comes from the magic patterns that constantly flicker with magical light on the building.
It's just that the scale of this palace building is not very large, at least it is much worse than Osric's self-contained mausoleum, and if people who don't know the inside story see this, I am afraid that they will inevitably be a little disappointed in their hearts. However, Lin Li, Hoffman and others knew that this was only the above-ground part of the mausoleum, and the real Prince of Brehill's mausoleum should be under this palace.
Around this palace, there are many corpses of demonic beasts, but it is obvious that it was not the work of the Mithril Alliance and the exploration team of the Caesar family, because most of the corpses of those demonic beasts were wrapped in thick ice. Those magical beasts are relatively low-level, such as ice wolves and snow bears, and there are also snow demons that are powerful and even reach the legendary level, like the amber of ice and snow, I don't know how many years they have existed here.
"No wonder the stone scepter and those broken objects can be found so far away, these magical beasts have come to disturb Prince Brehil's long sleep many years ago." Lin Li said as he knocked on a snow demon ice sculpture.
If it is an ordinary beast, it is natural that they will only be interested in food and things that build nests, but these monsters are different, and items containing magical power are also quite attractive to them. Those stone carved scepters, as well as various sculptures, stone tablets engraved with magic symbols, etc., although it seems that there are no magic fluctuations now, and the material is similar to ordinary stones, but I am afraid that they were all the best magic crystals used back then. However, looking at this huge ice sculpture cemetery, even the things outside the mausoleum, these magical beasts have paid a considerable price to get.
"President Ferry, do you think we're going to wait here and see what happens, or do we enter the mausoleum now?" Looking at the ice palace not far away, Hoffman also couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his tone seemed to tremble slightly.
"Wait a minute, presumably the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family's exploration team haven't gone much deeper now, and I'm afraid we'll be disappointed by going in at this time." Lin Li looked at the open door of the palace, but he didn't show a trace of urgency.
Although Brehill is not as famous in history as Osric, he is definitely not an existence to be taken lightly. What's more, with his identity, he didn't have to do anything at all, the entire High Elf clan, and even the top talents in various fields in the entire Anriel world at that time, would be used by him. This mausoleum, while being his resting place, is also the work of the convergence of the pinnacle skills of various fields of that era, and I am afraid that it is much more dangerous than the mausoleum of Osric.
