Under the watchful eye of the soldiers, the mercenaries first directly killed all the beasts and one monster in the target area, and then began a search operation like digging three feet into the ground.

Digging three feet into the ground is not an exaggeration, because the mercenaries did bring a lot of strange tools for digging and probing, which opened Luo Ming's eyes very much.

Big shovels and small shovels, hoes, rakes, hammers and axes, and even some people brought tools similar to Luoyang shovels on the earth, poking into the ground many meters in one breath, and pulling out the soil layer to judge the situation below, so that Luo Ming couldn't help but wonder if this guy would secretly rob tombs to make extra money when he had no task to do.

However, the so-called adventure, exploring in the ruins, is indeed a kind of tomb robbery.

In this era, even the excavation activities organized by the state may not be called serious archaeology, and there is a lot of damage to cultural relics and monuments.

Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of years of life expectancy in this world, and they are living witnesses of history, so the importance of archaeology is not as high as on the earth.

To get back to the point, these mercenaries were half professionals, and their search was progressing quickly, and by the afternoon of the next day, most of the area had been cleared, three suspicious locations had been identified, and the excavation began.

And when Ariana returned to Van Shee with the gift-giving procession, she saw Luo Ming playing with a beautiful crystal in her hand.

The fragment was excavated from a depth of four meters underground, and when the mercenaries dug into the ground, they found that it was the nest of some kind of small animal.

As for what kind of critter it is, whether it's a vole or a snake, no one knows, but no one is going to delve into it.

There are quite a few critters who like to collect glittering things, and the mercenaries are not surprised - next to the crystals, there are also some broken glass and small metal objects.

According to an excavated copper coin, the cave was abandoned more than 200 years ago, which means that the crystal has not seen the light of day for at least 200 years.

The whole process was very simple and there were no surprises.

Of course, even if there is any emergency, Luo Ming has also made a corresponding plan to ensure that nothing really goes wrong.

There were no days of hard exploration, no sleeping in the wilderness, no sudden encounters with monsters, no encounters with mechanisms, and no dangers—at least not for Luo Ming.

Luo Ming had never been to the excavation site at all, and finally got what he wanted.

And the mercenaries received their remuneration and dispersed contentedly, and they were all happy.

It may seem a little boring, but boring itself means being safe.

In short, as a ruler of tens of thousands of people, he can indeed save a lot of trouble, and many things can be simply done by others.

Some people will probably become lazy in this situation, stretching out their hands to eat and opening their mouths, and they can't even get out of bed.

However, Luo Ming was not among them, during the three days of working in the mercenaries, he was still preparing for the promotion of the Great Sword Master, and he still had extra time to check and fill in the gaps in the new system he had established, raided many places, and went to the barracks to offer condolences once.

Good steel is used on the blade, the blood of a warrior must be shed on the most worthy occasions, and time must be spent on more important things, this is Luo Ming's creed.

It was in vain that he spent years and a lot of energy cultivating the foundations of such a regime. In the future, he will benefit more and more from it.
