Three days later, in the old place of the Blackstone Hotel, the four of them met again. This time, Ryan and Rose looked in good spirits, while James Bond and Bode had tired expressions on the verge of lying down. James Bon, in particular, has dark circles under his eyes and red threads in his pupils, which has a negative impact on his handsome appearance.

Bode's condition is better, but he is also like a dog that is about to die of exhaustion, giving people the feeling of being hard to breathe.

"My teacher has agreed to help us out against the other forces and the Scorpion Mercenary Band." A new red crystal was re-inlaid with on James Bon's wooden staff, and his left hand gently stroked the smooth edge of the crystal, as if doing so would make his head clear: "However, he put forward a condition, in the process of excavating the mausoleum, you must be extremely careful, and you must not destroy the sleeping bed of the ancient ancestors." You can't even beat those ideas of staying in bed. ”

Bode was a little puzzled: "The permanent bed left over from ancient times is sold in the aristocratic market, but it is a lot of money, enough to feed several medium-sized mercenary groups, Your Excellency James Bang." Besides, if we get the constant bed out, we may not get much profit from this excavation. ”

James sneered: "Don't mention those pseudo-nobles, they want to stay in bed, not so that their corpses can maintain their appearance forever after death." They take the corpses of the ancient ancestors out of the eternal bed and discard them at will, which is disrespectful to the ancestors, and those who cannot communicate with the soul will never be able to understand what the truth is. He has the name of nobility, but he does barbarian things......" James Bang struck the table with a wooden staff: "I am ashamed to be with him!" ”

Bode, Ryan and Rose were silent at the same time, the three of them were also what James Bang called 'people who can't communicate with souls', although they were not nobles, but after all, they also had the idea of getting a permanent bed, and James Bang's words, although they were not aimed at them, made them feel a little ashamed, as well as some uneasiness.

After a while, James Shibang's mood calmed down, and he said apologetically: "Three, I was rude just now, I salute everyone, please don't take it to heart." The teacher knew that this request was a bit embarrassing, so he decided to give half of the four points of his interests to the two, and after the matter was completed, the teacher and I would each get two percent, and the mercenary group to which the two belonged would each get three percent. What do you think? ”

Ryan and Bode glanced at each other, if they gave up the permanent bed, they would indeed lose a lot of benefits, but if more than one percent of the benefits came out, then it may not be able to offset the loss of giving up the permanent bed, and maybe they could also gain the favor of a soul contemplative, this deal is quite cost-effective.

Ryan smiled and said, "We, the mercenary group, are willing to listen to the wishes of His Excellency James Bang. ”

Bode then leaned over and said, "It is my privilege to follow the teachings of the soul-contemplatives. ”

James nodded, and then took out a small white cloth bag from the mouth of his robe: "This is the elemental impact bomb developed by the teacher, and the specific use method is also in this bag." When you are done, Lord Baldur, seal the entrance to the ancient tomb, and then make the contents of this bag into a trap to deter those who want to enter and steal the bed. As for the confidentiality measures afterwards, the teacher and I will do it seriously, and you can rest assured. ”

Ryan and Bode were both in the same mind, and they knew in their hearts that this was James Bang making a detour to remind the two of them: Take care of yourself and your subordinates, don't think about secretly going to dig the Heng bed in the future, the teacher and I have a way to track down whether you have moved that thing.

"As you wish." Bode took the cloth bag and sighed with a slight pity in his heart.

Six months later, Solomon's palace was in ruins.

It was originally a fertile land, but since the destruction of the Solomonic Dynasty, it has slowly become the Gobi Desert as it is now. The sky was full of yellow sand, gravel, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves. The luxurious and luxurious palace walls of the past have now become low and disordered rock piers covered by yellow sand.

There was no water source and it was sparsely populated, and there used to be the occasional pedestrians passing by, hiding in the ruins and leaning against the remnants of the broken wall to escape the wind and sand, but since three months ago, there were rumors of ghosts haunting the place, and there were indeed pedestrians who heard strange sounds, and the pedestrians avoided it far away.

The resentment of the dead country cannot be provoked, this is the most ordinary idea of all ordinary people. ,

In the center of the ruins, there is a rather chaotic area, as if someone has thrown all the scattered walls in the ruins here, and built a strange but considerable amount of space for the chaotic 'wall' pile.

A figure stuck his head out of the ground of the chaotic wall, first looked around, then put his ear to the gravel ground, listened for a while, and then crawled out, walked away from the broken wall, opened his pants, and let a puddle of yellow water come out. He stretched, looked up at the blurry sun, and said to himself, "I haven't been in the sun for a long time, it's comfortable." ”

He stood for a moment, then crawled into the pile of walls and followed the entrance into the ground.

The man held a glowing crystal and walked through the black earth steps to an empty underground cavern. There were two dozen people standing inside, and there was a strange smell in the air. The sour smell of sweat in the human body and a sulfur-like smell were mixed together, which was quite pungent, and the man was used to smelling it for a long time, so he picked up an iron hook from the wall, and then stuffed the glowing crystal in his hand into the small hole in the wall, and then walked to a metal wall.

At the end of the insight, this metal wall is black and the surface is extremely smooth, but in the middle, someone has dug a big hole, making the original metal wall with great beauty look particularly ugly and abrupt.

In front of the big hole, more than twenty men stood with the same hooks, and several others in front of them, pouring a black liquid onto the metal wall, and after pouring it a dozen times in a row, more than two dozen men simultaneously pierced the long hooks in their hands into the metal wall and pulled down a small piece of black metal.

Peeling again and again, they dug a big hole in the thick metal wall.

Each piece of metal skin that has been pulled off is recycled, taken to the back, and stacked together. Ryan and Bode stood and watched, their hair and beards almost obscuring their entire faces. Rose stood behind Ryan, a woman was always cleaner than a man, but her hair was greasy and shiny.

Ryan picked up a piece of metal from the corner that had just been taken down, and as the liquid evaporated, the metal skin had become hard again. He took a dagger out of his clothes, sliced it at the piece of metal. After a ding, the metal skin did not fall a single scratch, and the sharp edge instead cut into the blade of the dagger.

"O'Hari ......" Ryan sighed reverently, "The ancestors of the Ancient Age of Magic are truly remarkable. If tough metals, how they are made. Even the black dragon saliva, which claims to be able to corrode all substances, can only make the O'Hari steel soften in a short period of time, and the black dragon saliva will soon lose its effect, and the O'Hari steel will soon become tough again, the guys of the dragon clan boast that they are an excellent race every day, but they still don't go crazy to pursue the magic relics of our human ancestors, in front of our human ancestors, they definitely don't even dare to put a fart. ”

Bode also sighed in the back: "Those guys of the dragon clan are willing to bow their proud heads in front of the civilization of the ancestors of the ancient magic era, as well as in front of the servants of the sun god, ordinary humans like us, they don't look down on them at all." In order to collect the saliva of these Black Dragon Clan, I gave up the only treasure of the magic crystal shield out of the Clan, and almost exposed our plan this time, but fortunately, the Black Dragon Clan guys have always despised us, so they barely covered it up. ”

Ryan smiled: "There must be a lot of magic crystal shield materials in the mausoleum, so I will give you some more when the time comes." I heard that O'Hari steel and magic crystals are the most basic building materials of the ancient ancestors, and they are extravagant, too extravagant. ”

Bode nodded, he was an alchemist, and all kinds of items from the ancient magic period were his favorites, and giving him a few more pieces of magic crystal materials would make him happier than giving him a large sum of money.

At this time, a mercenary ran over and said to Ryan: "Commander, come and listen, the voice is a little wrong, we think it's almost over, can you come and take a look?" ”

Ryan was immediately overjoyed, he carefully put the metal piece in his hand into the corner, and then walked to the big hole in the metal wall, and after the black dragon saliva volatilized, he knocked it with his hand, and sure enough, he felt that the sound was obviously different from the one in front, and it seemed much hollow.

He took a deep breath: "Everyone put down their work, go to the ground for me, find a red elemental crystal for yourself, come back when you are full, and then rest until tomorrow morning." Rose, you take out half of the food and water we've stored, and let everyone have a good meal later. ”

"Long live Captain Lane!" A group of mercenaries cheered and poured out of the cellar, they were already suffocating.

When most of the people had gone up to the ground, Bode asked puzzledly, "Why don't you make any more efforts, and open this steel wall in one go." ”

Ryan said, "This is a mausoleum from the ancient age of magic, and no one knows what kind of danger there is in the tunnel. While most of the Ancient Ruins are safe, I've also heard of people who have been killed by strange attacks in the Ancient Ruins, and their whole bodies are scorched, as if they had been burned by an invisible fire. Opening the mausoleum is only the first step, and our purpose is to bring things home alive. In order to meet the unknown, sufficient physical strength is a must. ”

Bode shrugged, "Looks like you're experienced in this area, Ryan, and it seems like my greatest luck to date to be able to work with you." ”

Ryan also smiled, "I think so, too." ”
