For a few days after the knight's joust, Baron Jason lay in bed to recuperate from his wounds, and his wounds recovered well and did not deteriorate from the infection, because the Duke sent his royal physician to treat him.

The ulna of the broken left arm was held firmly in place by a splint and hung from the neck with a bandage, the wound on the upper arm was wiped with cotton soaked in iodine, the wound on the abdomen was disinfected, and finally sutured along with the wound on the side of the knee.

The Duke's royal physician told him that the stitches could be removed in another month, and the ulna would heal in three months, and the splint could be removed at that time.

In the days of medieval knightly warfare, a serious injury like his would have died overnight due to wound infection, and now he only needs to wait three months to be intact, and it is not a problem to train again, which is something that he did not dare to think of before, and even a die-hard person like him who admires the ancient way has to admit the greatness of modern medicine.

(Thank you Your Majesty for sparing my life and sending the imperial doctor to treat me, it's good to be alive!) He has been silently grateful in his heart for the past few days.

A few days later, the Duke came to his bedroom alone to visit his injuries.

Baron Jason was shocked by her condition, there were no signs of injury at all, the small cut on her cheek was completely gone, even the broken left collarbone was completely healed, and her left arm had moved freely in just a few days, which was really amazing.

Baron Jason fulfilled his promise, and he led the Duke to a warehouse under the castle on crutches, and gently pulled a candlestick on the wall, and immediately a dull sound was heard from under the floor, which turned out to be an ingenious mechanism that could open the door to the tomb when touched.

"Your Majesty, this mechanism is the condensation of the wisdom of the skilled craftsmen of Guvalstad, which can only be unlocked by one method, at an angle of the trigger, and the mechanism of self-destruction of the tomb will be activated whenever it is damaged by the outside world, which is the secret that generations of the guardians of the Holy Sepulchre have protected with their lives for hundreds of years.

You are the first member of the Midknight family to pass the trial, and the only one alive who is qualified to set foot in this holy place. Baron Jason explained.

The Duke nodded at him: "You were right, if you bring in cannons and forcibly tear down the castle, I will never get the crown." ”

"An important reminder to you, and please listen carefully, this mechanism can only be unlocked once, and after you take the crown, the tomb's chronograph will be activated, the boulder above the tomb will slowly descend, and the remaining crevices will be filled with groundwater, and you will have three minutes to run back down the main tomb and stairs.

Note! Don't check out the other burial treasures out of curiosity, that will inevitably trigger a special mechanism to prevent tomb robbery, then there will be no time to escape, and you will be buried alive inside. ”

"Got it, I'll take notice."

"Well, the door to the tomb is one level below, and you use this one on the wall to destroy the floor I'm stepping on."

The Duke followed his instructions, picked up the two-handed war hammer hanging on the wall, and smashed a large hole in the floor in a few strokes, and there was even a hidden second basement below, she took Baron Jason's torch and jumped down.

There was a heavy stone door in front of him, the lock on it had been unlocked, revealing a gap, and the duke pulled the stone door open with force, and with the light of the torches, he could see that there was a long stone staircase inside, with no end in sight, as if it was going to lead to the abyss, which was unsettling.

"Your Majesty, the stairs in front of you lead to the main tomb road, the whole road is a straight line, don't turn into any fork in the road, go to the deepest part along the main tomb road, you can see the emperor's coffin, what you are looking for is on the display table there, come back quickly after taking it."

"See you later." With that, the Duke stepped up the stairs and stepped into the dark underworld.

The environment inside was cold and damp, with the occasional few fat rats passing by the boots, and the deeper they went, the quieter it became, and at the end of the stairs, even the sound of the groundwater could not be heard.

After entering the narrow tomb passage, I can only hear "poof...... The sound of "poof" was the sound of the duke's own heartbeat.

(If you are a fragile person, you are afraid that you will be driven crazy) she thought.

There were indeed many small burial chambers on the left and right sides, and with the help of torches, you could see that there were a large number of burial goods placed in them, but she did not come for money, and even if she did not have a mechanism, she was not interested in it at all, and continued to walk forward.

The walls on both sides of the main tomb are carved with many beautiful frescoes, including huge castles, bustling luxury bazaars, and powerful imperial knights, depicting the prosperity of the early days of the Valstad Empire, which the Duke admires as he advances with torches.

There are several frescoes depicting the horrors of the Great Plague, with plague doctors wearing beak masks walking through piles of corpses, more than half of the population is infected and dead, and there are not enough people alive to bury the dead, and it is at this time that the ancient Valstad Empire went into decline.

She also learned the history that followed, and the successive emperors did not have the bravery of the previous emperors, and enjoyed themselves all day long, regardless of the government, and then the military and economic affairs of the empire were gradually surpassed by neighboring countries, and irreversibly went to extinction.

At the thought of this, the Duke felt that the burden on his shoulders was unusually heavy.

(Governing a country is a troublesome matter, and it is even more difficult to govern a strong empire, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, if I am fortunate enough to recover the Valstad Empire, I must work hard like my father, and be a diligent and aspiring monarch.) ）

Along the way, I thought about it, and before I knew it, I came to the end of the tomb, and the front suddenly became spacious, and the Duke had stepped into the main burial chamber of the tomb, and in front of him were two huge stone coffins, with words and patterns carved on the front.

Thanks to Simon's teachings, she was able to read the ancient Valstad script and identify the two tomb owners.

The coffin on the left is engraved with the night owl coat of arms of the Midknight family, and a rather lengthy name is engraved underneath the pattern:

"Conqueror of all the peninsula, Archduke of Fort Midknight, Guardian of the Templar Church of Valstad, King of the Golden Horde of the Saker of the Northwestern Steppe, King of Santa Casrella, Grand Duke Tadjavi, Grand Duke of Gronal,

King of Farunion, King of Ceylon, Grand Duke of La Mancha, King of Caterbernia, King of Anan, King of Galincia, Great Chiefs of the tribes of the Southern Mountains,

The champion knight of the Grand Crusader Arena, the greatest warrior of the continent of Eulasis and the emperor of the Valstad Empire, Salorlière Midnet I, is buried here. ”
