Baron Franz von Wolf was born in 1885 into a family of German nobles in the Baltic Sea, where he was fluent in German, French and Latin, in addition to Russian. In the Russo-Japanese War, he served in the Port of Arthur and served as a prisoner of the Japanese. Wolf had palace versions of mansions in St. Petersburg, hordes of servants, thousands of hectares of granges in the countryside of Latvia. He went in and out of the imperial high society, befriending princes and dukes. But he loved physics more and earned a master's degree in Germany.

"Radioactivity?"

Deep in the coniferous forests of Siberia, Qin Customs felt that his life was short. He drew a gourd and read out the words in the same way, but he could only use everyday words, could not read Russian characters, and could not understand technical terms.

"Well, it's the rays that an element emits from an unstable nucleus until it decays to form a stable element. Everything in the world can be radioactive, even in the air. The Earth and the universe were naturally occurring radionuclides when they were formed. Some things are very radioactive, and long-term exposure can lead to various diseases and even rapid death. I've heard that Marie Curie in Paris was working on these things. ”

"Like poison?"

Qin Customs felt the burning pain of his back vest. That's right, the ancestral "Qin's Carpenter's Jian" is clearly written, "If you want to become a tombsmith, drink the spirit stone", just as the descendants said, "If you want to practice divine skills, swing a knife from the palace"!

The fact that he can live to this age is definitely breaking the family record for 3,000 years.

Stepping on the vast white snow and carrying the spirit stone that evaporated life on his back, he returned to the mausoleum site in the Ural Mountains and began the fourth house of the tomb beast - splicing and shaping, and setting up mechanisms.

It took him and Wolf a month to build the skeleton of the two-headed eagle gravebeast according to the blueprints, and then fill it with gears, conveyor belts, and escapements...... Almost thousands of parts and components are imported hardware. The only thing that is not the power system with a steam engine or an internal combustion engine is installed – otherwise it would be a mechanized grave beast. No matter how many new materials are used, as long as they rely on spirit stones as the only source of power, they are still the traditional craftsmanship of the Tomb Beast.

According to the ancestral rules, only the descendants of the Qin clan can build a tomb beast, and this ancient skill must not be passed on to outsiders, not to mention that Wolf is still an old man of Germanic blood. But in the past two years, Qin Customs has witnessed too many collapses, and this is no longer the time to revise the "Qin Tomb Craftsman's Guide". What an old rule, it's all bullshit! And he is convinced that this will be the last tomb beast he has built in his life, and it will also be the last tomb beast in human history.

Baron Wolf turned out to be a close disciple of Qin Customs.

The fifth house, the soul. Tsar Nicholas II has many relics during his lifetime, including his hair, nails, prayer beads, portraits, photographs and even diaries, which are stored in the heart of the tomb beast and give the soul of the last tsar.

Sixth house, carved. To be honest, the design of the double-headed eagle is quite complicated, and if you use traditional craftsmanship, you can't finish carving it in a few months. However, Wolf used a stamping cart as a mold, and in a few days he was able to make the shell of a double-headed eagle, plus a pair of thin but huge wings.

Seventh house, manipulation. The tomb beast has the soul of the tomb owner, so it can understand the language of the tomb owner. This is the first tomb beast in history to speak Russian. Qin Customs has lived in Russia for a year, and there is a little Russian widow as his wife, so Russian conversation is not a problem. He asked Wolf for a few words of Old Russian, and using the spirit he had accumulated over nearly sixty years, he completely tamed the Two-Headed Eagle Town Tomb Beast.

Eighth house, the finishing touch. The just-completed Tsar's underground palace brought a huge and friendless polar bear, as if it could swallow ten Qin Customs in one bite. Admiral Kolchak personally examined it, wondering how this tomb beast made of steel could escape gravity and take off? As a result, under the control of Lao Qin, the two-headed eagle town tomb beast flapped a pair of wings and flew up, easily dodging the first blow of the polar bear. The talons then pierced the bear's eyes with precision, and the two eagle heads attacked the bear's ears respectively, causing the white bear to roll on the ground in agony. But if you are a little careless at this time, once you are hit by the bear paw of the trapped beast, the tomb beast will also be very dangerous. But the two-headed eagle moved quickly, looked at the opponent's gap, and instantly tore the polar bear's throat......

The last house, the naming ceremony of the double-headed eagle. Qin Customs wound up the tomb beast. Wolf opened champagne and jam to celebrate, and even calculated a formula that allowed it to remain powerful until 3900 AD without an invasion.

"It's a 'soul machine.'"

The baron uttered a fashionable phrase popular in academia in German that Qin Customs did not understand.

At the same time as the completion of the "Nine Palaces of Beast Making", the bones of the last Tsar Nicholas II's family were buried in seven pairs of peach coffins, and through the prayer ceremony of the Orthodox Patriarch, they were sent to the golden well of the underground palace, and died together with the two-headed eagle tomb beast.

The doors of the Tsar's Mausoleum were locked and cement was poured at the entrance of the tomb, which could not be opened unless high explosives were used. This is a secret mausoleum, there are no ground buildings, and the enclosed soil is the whole hill. Qin Customs referred to the Han tomb regulations of the "Qin Tomb Craftsman's Jian", unlike the Ming and Qing imperial tombs, which were artificially built tomb treasure tops. The Ural Mountains are the dividing line between Europe and Asia – the double-headed eagle may be the first homegrown tomb beast in Europe.

Franz von Wolf squatted in front of the tomb and cried, Qin Hai thought with concern that none of the children of the Eight Banners in Beijing were as loyal as him.

A few days later, a White Russian truck came to Qin Customs and unloaded a huge metal coffin, containing a pile of bones stolen from Petrograd.

The herald brought Admiral Kolchak's edict: "This is the skeleton of Rasputin, please build a mausoleum for him, and the tomb beast." ”

Lao Qin asked in confusion: "Who is Rasputin?" ”

"He's not human."

As soon as Baron Wolf mentioned Rasputin's name, it was like eating a fly and couldn't help but crouch down and vomit.

After the outbreak of the World War, despite his German ancestry and surname, the Tsar often summoned him to the palace to chat and relieve his boredom. But there is a demon in the harem, his name is Rasputin, who was originally a village scoundrel and lied about being an ascetic saint. He was favored by the queen, but in fact, in the defiled court, everyone called him a "demon monk". Rasputin is said to have superpowers to cure diseases and divination, and countless women have been fascinated by him and even willingly become sacrifices to his evil heresy.

Three years ago, the Russian Empire was in danger. The soldiers starved to death on the front line, but the harem sang every night. "Father Qing is not dead, and it is difficult to end!" Everyone said that if Rasputin did not die, the Romanov dynasty would die. Wolff, a loyal minister, conspired with a group of nobles to lure Rasputin out of the palace and kill the man in countless ways such as pistols, poisons, and daggers. With his hands covered in blood, Wolf threw Rasputin into the frozen Neva River, where the demon is said to have survived for eight minutes before drowning.

Wolf looked up to the sky and sighed: "Kill Rasputin, I become a hero of Russia!" It's a pity that they couldn't save the empire. ”

Qin Customs felt a wave of nausea - an evil aura rose from the coffin, he had built many mausoleums, had come into contact with the emperor's golden well, and had become extremely sensitive, and could feel things that ordinary people could hardly feel.

"The old rule of the Qing Dynasty was that the tombsmith clan could only build a mausoleum for the emperor. Yuan Shikai reluctantly became Emperor Hongxian, and the last tsar was also the orthodox Russian emperor, what kind of thing is this Rasputin? ”

"A rebellious thief who everyone gets and is punished!" Wolf really wanted to burn the coffin with a fire, "The admiral is really crazy!" ”

Qin Customs looked at the warehouse in the forest, hiding the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast in a dormant state, and suddenly understood Kolchak's intention: "He doesn't want a tomb, but he wants to get a tomb beast." ”
