Chapter 6: King Arthur's Sarcophagus (Part II)

The fat man took a deep breath, his two round eyes slowly moved his gaze to the blade, and said with a grin: "Little Brother Dai, take it easy, your knife is not a joke." I saw them coming. ”

Dai blue black eyes stared at the fat man's white face, and nodded slightly.

He knew in his heart that the fat man would definitely not lie to him. When I was outside the British Museum, I did see Joyna's back, which was exactly the same as the fat man's description.

Dai Lan withdrew the knife and said coldly to the fat man, "Check around!" ”

He himself circled around the two sarcophagi several times.

Not to mention the large sarcophagus, even the small one is estimated to weigh more than a dozen tons. Even if the sarcophagus lid is not less than two thousand catties. Not to mention two girls, even five adult men can't think of opening it.

The clue was cut off for a while, and there was time for Dai Lan to take a good look at the two strange sarcophagi.

Could this be where King Arthur ended?

In the dim light, Dai Lan read the introductory nameplate on the side.

It turned out that the two sarcophagi were discovered in an Egyptian harbor city in the early 18th century. Some of the British royal family crest is engraved on it. Strangely, after consulting the chronology of these families, they are all secretive about these two coffins.

Later, the British took advantage of the Anglo-French war and forcibly brought them back to London.

Later, many historians and linguists failed to answer who the owner of the coffin was. The age of the sarcophagus was determined by measuring the half-life of carbon-12, and it is actually a cultural relic from about 600 AD.

Archaeologists tried to open the sarcophagus, only to find that they were automatically locked from the inside in a very ingenious way. If it is forcibly cut by mechanical means, it will inevitably damage the cultural relics inside.

So much so that to this day, these two sarcophagi are still a mystery.

There are no special warning devices, only simple guardrails, and their angular places have been touched by tourists.

Dai Lan approached the large sarcophagus and felt a hint of the majesty of the ancient imperial king. Generally, this kind of sarcophagus will be carved in the form of pictures to carve the deeds of the owner during his lifetime.

The sarcophagus is engraved with the scene of the battle of thousands of troops and horses, as well as the picture of the triumphant return of victory, which is vividly depicted. These must have come from the pen of a famous artist, and a few strokes actually expressed the life of the owner of the coffin vividly.

One of them even has a coronation scene.

On a wide throne, there sat an old man in fine clothes. From the delicate patterns and lion patterns on his clothes, you can see his power and dignity. The old man held a scepter and pointed forward, gently pressing it on the shoulder of a man in front of him.

It was a tall man, on one knee. Even when kneeling, it is almost the same height as a normal person.

He was covered in huge armor, and from the lines that represented the light, he could guess that the armor was shining.

Beside them, there stood several elders in long robes, each holding a thick book in their hands and chanting something.

What interests Dai Lan the most is that the tall man has a delicate crown on his head! A gigantic gemstone sits in the center of the crown.

Dai Lan's heart tightened, could it be that this is King Arthur's glorious crown?!

He tried to see the man's face, but was surprised to find that the painter had not carved his face. Instead, a black mask was used. Looking at other pictures, this man did not draw his face without exception!

In that coronation picture, 15 knights kneel behind the crowned man, holding their swords tightly for protection. However, there was one knight who was peculiar and secretly raised his head and looked at his master with a resentful gaze, with malice written on his face.

Dai Lan reached out and tried to push the top cover of the sarcophagus, but Vince didn't move. The connection between the top lid and the coffin can't even fit into a piece of the sharpest wallpaper knife.

He shrugged his shoulders, perhaps hoping for another sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus is also surrounded by many scenes of war, most of which include men wearing crowns.

One of them actually tells about the same coronation ceremony. It's just that in this picture, the knight becomes the protagonist of the perspective. Obviously, the owner of this small sarcophagus is one of the Knights.

He was quite ranked, kneeling in the first row of the crowd. Holding a shining iron sword in his hand, he loyally guards his master. And beside him, the same picture of the knight who spied the crown with resentment ~ peeking at the crown!

Seeing this, Dai Lan already understood eight ~ nine points in his heart.

Obviously, inside the large sarcophagus, there is a man with a crown, who should be the king of England at that time, and even judging from that crown, it is likely to be King Arthur!

And sitting on the grand throne were figures such as the pope of the church at that time. The European part of Delan's mind was not very rich in historical knowledge. However, common sense is that during the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages, kings often needed to have the church grant rights.

This picture is nothing more than a description of such a scene.

And next to the sarcophagus, lying one of the king's senior guards, followed his king in the north and south.

However, Dai Lan did not understand who the resentful knight was, and why the painter dared to portray him in such a posture.

Similarly, the inside of the sarcophagus is mechanically locked and cannot be opened from the outside.

"! There must be some way to open them, what the hell am I missing? ”

Suddenly, Dai Lan's eyes fell on a place in front of the small sarcophagus.

It was an inconspicuous drawing, engraved with 4 times 4 for a total of 16 squares. In each small square, a symbol or text is drawn crookedly.

Dai Lan looked at them carefully, and they were not English or Greek. However, it seems so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

"Of-huh-"

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of grinding teeth and panting that is unique to zombies.

Since the end of the world, Dai Lan has found that his sense organs are much more sensitive than before. In addition to the occasional freeze-frame technique, his hearing and visual abilities have also improved dramatically.

Dai Lan looked up and was taken aback. In the corridor on the side of the central exhibition hall, at least 30 zombies have gathered. The black pressed piece slowly walked towards the British exhibition hall, and in less than three minutes it would squeeze in.

The more critical the moment, the calmer Dai Lan can be. His mind was spinning, trying to figure out all the ways to escape.

He now has nothing more than two options:

1. Take advantage of the fact that the zombies are not completely gathered, and immediately kill the fat man from the corridor. There is a considerable risk at this point, and if you are not careful, you will definitely be surrounded by zombies and bite to death!

2. Open the only window on the north side of the Britannia Gallery and jump out of the window. Although the museum is built in a Greek style, and the floor on this floor is a full 12 meters above the ground, there may be a chance to escape.

Dai Lan prefers the second option, although it may not be fair to the fat man to do so. His massive body was expected to die a terrible death if he fell, but in any case it was much more certain than the first option.

After thinking about the way back, Dai Lan has much more confidence in his heart. He had to make a final effort in the two minutes before the zombies arrived, trying to solve the mystery of the two sarcophagus. He firmly believed that the King Arthur mentioned in the dream was lying in the huge sarcophagus in front of him. And the antidote to fighting zombies may be in this move.

Dead horses, be a live horse doctor.

His eyes finally fell on the 16 small squares, strange hieroglyphs!

So familiar words, must have been seen somewhere, definitely!

The words kept flashing in front of Dai Lan's eyes, mobilizing all his brain cells, searching his intestines and trying to recall. Drops of sweat fell from his cheeks, and his clothes were wet.

The hands on the watch ticked and ticked, and it looked like it was only two minutes away.

The distance between heaven and hell is only a short 120 seconds.

Whether or not you can solve the secret of the zombies in the apocalypse and the disappearance of his girlfriend Joyna is only in these 120 seconds.

Dai Lan suddenly sighed lightly, and finally remembered where he had seen these words!
