Chapter 21: The Treasure Chest and the Departure

After a while, Su Bai let go of Laura and smiled slightly: "Let's go in and see what's inside." ”

The girl nodded, and followed him into the small attic.

The attic was dilapidated, and the walls and corners were even overgrown with weeds.

However, on the central altar, there is a luxurious treasure chest decorated with gold, and there are red candle arches on both sides.

"Treasure chest?"

Su Bai's eyes lit up and his spirits lifted. Laura's eyes widened slightly.

"Laura, go open it." Su Bai said to the girl beside him.

"Me?" Laura was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook her head, "Forget it, you just go Su." ”

Su Bai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Aren't you most interested in archaeology?" Don't you want to try this kind of treasure chest, and it's also a treasure chest at the level of historical relics? And maybe there are some precious artifacts in it, and it wouldn't be good if I accidentally destroyed them. ”

"That'...... All right. ”

After a moment's hesitation, the girl agreed, and walked towards the chest.

"In fact, the most appropriate way is to use a special instrument to check the integrity of the treasure chest and the items contained in it, and then determine the appropriate way to open it after making sure that it will not be damaged by oxidation. And you must wear gloves throughout the whole process to avoid direct contact with cultural relics. ”

Standing in front of the treasure chest, Laura explained the precautions in the archaeological process to Su Bai, and then said: "But under the current conditions, we can't be so rigorous." Let's hope the contents won't be destroyed. ”

These words made Su Bai involuntarily sound the information about Laura that he had specially consulted when he first played the game, and many scholars questioned the damage caused to the ruins by Laura's rude practices in the process of exploring the ruins.

Now it seems that a lot of the content is indeed not bad, at least the girl in front of me does not pay much attention to the so-called cultural relics protection. But at this juncture, if you still have to pay attention to those things, it will be really hypocritical.

No matter what the so-called archaeologists think, he admires Laura's unobtrusive personality anyway.

At this time, Laura put her hands on the lid of the treasure chest, and then lifted the lid of the treasure chest with a slight force.

The next moment, a brilliant golden light bloomed from it, shaking the two of them in front of them.

"Wow......"

The girl took a deep breath for a moment, let out a low exclamation, and then let out a long breath.

"Hoo ......"

"Sure enough, it's a treasure that we spent so much effort and risked serious injuries to find." Looking at the large number of gold artifacts piled up in the treasure chest, Su Bai muttered.

"These things ......," Laura said, picking up a gold plate carved with intricate patterns and looking at it carefully, "The style of the ornamentation on it is very similar to the style of the Dongying of the Yamatai period recorded in the literature. ”

"It seems that the possibility that this place is the site of the Yamatai Empire has increased a lot." Su Bai said casually, reached out and picked up a dark gold metal short rod from it that he didn't know what it was for, admired the ornaments carefully carved by famous craftsmen and craftsmen who didn't know how many years ago, and then flicked it lightly with his fingers.

The crisp voice sounded quite pleasant, and he nodded in satisfaction: "This thing should be able to be used as a crank for prying mechanisms." ”

"It's an artifact." Laura glanced at the man and said in an inexplicable tone.

"If we can't get out, it's just a pile of scraps of metal forgotten on this isolated island." Su Bai replied nonchalantly.

"That's just as well." Laura nodded in agreement at once, and pulled out a short knife inlaid with gorgeous gems from it, and drew its scabbard, the blade like frost, without the slightest trace of rust.

"With this, we won't have to work so hard next time we cut the venison." The girl said with a smile on her face, and then her face was full of doubts, "But if this is really a legacy of the Yamatai Empire more than a thousand years ago, it should have been useless for a long time." ”

"Maybe it's the power of Queen Himiko's shamanic spells." Su Bai shrugged.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed in unison.

"If my parents were here, they wouldn't have let me do that." Laura said in a nostalgic tone.

Su Bai bowed slightly: "For an archaeologist, I'm afraid I really can't see what we do." In Huaxia, it may be enough to convict of intentional destruction of cultural relics. ”

While chatting, Laura examined the contents of the treasure chest.

After a while, she said with a serious face: "Most of the things here are indeed products of the Dongying Yayoi era, and they are also consistent with the relevant records of the Yamatai Kingdom in the literature. Sue, this time your guess is very likely to be true, we have come to the ruins of the Yamatai Empire! ”

At this, the girl became a little excited.

After all, this was the destination of their expedition, and it was the source of the catastrophe that led them to this catastrophe. And Laura had always wanted to become a true archaeologist, and this expedition was her first solo adventure.

"Didn't I say it a long time ago, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." Su Bai smiled and said, "This also shows that Laura, your suggestion is correct, and Yamatai is indeed in the Dragon Triangle area." ”

Laura calmed down her excitement and said, "But we still need more evidence." ”

She closed the lid of the treasure chest, looked at Su Bai and said, "Let's get out of here first, Su, as for these treasures, let them be placed here temporarily." ”

Such a large box and heavy gold artifacts were impossible for the two of them to take away. Moreover, their current situation does not allow them to carry so much burden.

However, Laura herself is not a person who particularly cares about wealth, her family is super rich and she is still a nobleman. And Su Bai didn't care even more, he didn't know where he would go after everything was over, and where he still cared about these treasures.

Therefore, both of them were only amazed at the moment when the treasure chest opened, and then immediately calmed down.

Walking out of the attic, Su Bai looked at a long rope tied outside that led directly to the door of the workshop below, and stepped forward and pulled hard. After making sure that there was no problem with its sturdiness, he turned back to Laura and said, "We can use this zipline to slide straight down." ”

This thing was obviously specially prepared by the game's designers as well.

Su Bai stuck the metal rod around his waist, took off his coat and twisted it into a long strip, and said, "Laura, hold me tight." ”

"Huh?" The girl was stunned, a faint flush appeared on her delicate face, and then she quickly understood Su Bai's intentions, walked to him and stretched out her hand to wrap around his waist.

"Ready, we're about to go." Standing by the eaves, feeling the elastic delicate body clinging to him, Su Bai took a breath lightly and reminded.

"Let's go." The girl said softly.

"So, let's go!"

The two of them jumped down, the coat in Su Bai's hand accurately passed through the rope, and each hand grabbed one end and hung it in the air and landed quickly downward.
