Chapter 213: I Actually Saved the World
"We've been in once before, but we haven't found anything."
Once again, they returned to the burial chamber of the Pyramid of Khufu, and after a period of air circulation, the air here was relatively abundant, and there was no breathing difficulty as they had felt when they first entered.
Even though there are unknown dangers in the place they are going, there are still many more people on the team.
Simon is also among them, he is sent by the Kaiser to oversee Gallant, but in the final analysis, his purpose is to assist Gallant in obtaining something that can make people immortal.
And now that he knew where Gallant's immortality came from, then he had a direction.
He is not a fool, naturally it is impossible for him to ask Char directly, naturally he has to help him complete some things before he can speak, or in other words, even if he can't get something that makes people immortal in the end.
If he could find something from this burial chamber, he would be able to go back and pay for it.
And the people who are left behind are purely for the treasure, and greed always makes people forget something.
Tony looked around for a moment, then lowered one of the lenses of the steampunk-style zoom glasses on his head, and muttered.
"No magic reaction."
However, he lowered another lens and overlapped the first one.
"There is no reaction from Luni and Ogan texts. That's normal. ”
He muttered something every time he put down a lens, but suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and showed a slightly interested expression.
"Cursed?
No. It's the soul. ”
Tony's muttering was not loud, but it was audible to anyone in the confined space.
Hearing the soul's voice, they shuddered slightly.
Suddenly, it seemed as if something that was difficult to see with the naked eye was quietly watching them.
Tony lifted his glasses back to his head, then turned to look at them.
"Did you bring weapons?"
Gallant, along with Simon and the rest, raised their flintlock pistols.
"I know a teenager whose fists are more powerful than this old antique." Tony pouted.
He put the leather box he was holding on the ground, and then slowly opened it, the box was not large, the length and width did not exceed sixty centimeters, but there was a lot of things inside.
In Fantastic Beasts, Newt has a chest with a large space inside it that houses all of his Fantastic Beasts.
It was a kind of spatial expansion magic, and Tony's chest also used this magic, which can hold a lot of things.
He reached out and fumbled in the box for a moment, then pulled out a long strip of something that could not be seen clearly in the dimly lit underground space, but it looked like a firebolt, but with a slight difference.
He handed it directly to Gallant.
"What is this?" Gallant asked.
"Wand." Tony said.
"Wand?" Gallant looked at the object in his hand with some confusion, he couldn't connect it to his wand.
"It needs to use magic, and it's long, not a wand?" "A 12mm ranged casting wand made of high manganese steel, made of tungsten manganese silicon core, 1447mm long, can be fired by pressing the trigger below. ”
Then, he continued to fumble in the box and found a slightly larger wand and handed it to Simon.
"30mm depleted uranium core, armor-piercing effect is very good."
"And this, 7.62mm tungsten manganese silicon core, 4,000 rounds per minute."
One by one, he sent his weapons down, and nodded in satisfaction as he watched them all armed with wands of his own making.
He closed the box again, then walked to the ground next to the coffin, and then stretched out his hand and pressed it on it, and the refining array on the armor of his right hand lit up with a faint light, and the aura of magic surged in it.
Under the wide eyes of the people around them, the granite floor began to deform, forming a staircase that gradually descended.
The space inside the staircase was still narrow, similar to the way into Khufu's passage, only one person could bend over, and it was pitch black, which gave it a creepy feeling, especially after Tony had just said that.
But somehow, after holding Tony's weapon to them, they felt a little more secure in their hearts.
Tony opened the box again, but this time he didn't put it on the ground because he was too troublesome, but grabbed the handle on one side of the box, and groped in it with the other hand, and took out several bags and gave them one to each of them.
"Inside the bag is a fluorescent fruit that emits its own light when it touches the darkness." Tony pulled a fruit out of the bag and said.
The fruit resembles mangosteen, it is black and can be held in one hand, and it is a magical plant cultivated in the school's botanical class.
Then he threw the mangosteen into the darkness, and soon they saw that the dark path was lit up by a soft light.
It's not as simple as fluorescence, it's more like an incandescent lamp with no wires lit up, very bright, like daytime.
"You follow me, if there is anything you can't see, just throw this fruit, don't save it, this thing is still very simple to cultivate."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in.
The tunnel was long, but it was brightened by the light of the fruit, and the fear of darkness and the unknown dissipated by the soft light of the sun.
As they landed on a flat ground, they soon entered a very spacious territory, a long corridor about two meters long and wide, in which people could walk freely with their waists straight, and even several people could stand side by side.
They threw fluorescent fruits in two directions, and soon the corridor was illuminated, and the corridor was still made of limestone, mainly of the same color as the pyramids, but not so weathered.
The good news is that there is plenty of oxygen inside, and it seems that this underground pyramid is not sealed, at least it is very comfortable for people to breathe, and there is no smell.
On both sides of the tunnel are some ancient texts and frescoes, but there are no experts in ancient Egyptian, so you can only take a cursory look at the frescoes.
All in all, the depictions are fragments of the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians, and there is no particularly important information.
However, for archaeologists, these frescoes are the most important information, and most people's understanding of Egyptian culture comes from these frescoes.
After Napoleon, many archaeologists and writers from Europe were particularly fond of coming to Egypt to carry out activities called archaeological materials, but in fact for the destruction of cultural relics.
They destroyed the murals, changed the text, and even left their names on the artifacts, and it was these Europeans who left the most "visited" in Egypt.
"Don't wander around." Tony reminded, "There are so many mechanisms in this pyramid that they are bigger than you think, and if you get lost, even I won't be able to find you." ”
They nodded solemnly.
Tony continued to lay the box flat and pulled out a few more bags from inside.
Gallant really doubted that such a small box could really hold so many things.
The bag contained a small toy that resembled a mouse, but it was still mechanical, with many gears and even a clockwork mouth.
Tony took out a clockwork key from his pocket and stuck it in the mouth of the mouse's clockwork, and turned it a few times, and the mouse's eyes lit up with a faint light.
He placed the mouse on the ground, and it flew out like a wild horse, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Come and help me put a few more." Tony Road.
The rest of the people found out that there must have been at least a dozen of these rats in the bag, and several of these clockwork keys.
Under Tony's guidance, they also used the clockwork key to wind up the mice a few times and let them out.
In the dark corridor, all echoed with the clockwork of the clockwork rats and the sounds of crawling on the ground, and they released hundreds of them, and these sounds intertwined and entwined and drifted away.
"What are we going to do now?" Simon asked.
"Wait." Tony found a place to sit down, "These wayfinders will find the right path for us through trial and error, and they can also test the traps of this place for us. ”
Simon nodded, but his tense nerves never relaxed.
Gallant looked around and said with a slight shock, "How did people build such a thing more than 4,000 years ago?" ”
"It probably wasn't built more than 4,000 years ago." Tony said.
"This underground palace is supposed to have been built on the basis of the Pyramid of Khufu after it was built, and the builders used the Pyramid of Khufu as a camouflage.
But the specific time should be more than 3,000 years.
To be able to build such a behemoth on this land, it should have been a pharaoh who built it.
But the purpose of its construction, and which Pharaoh exactly, is unknown. ”
"Will it be dangerous?" Gallant asked.
"Who knows, I haven't been in." Tony said with a shrug.
Gallant didn't answer again......
The space inside this dungeon is bigger than you think.
So those rats have been looking for longer than they think.
During this boring wait, Gallant looked at Tony and couldn't help but say.
"Can you tell us about it?"
Tony raised an eyebrow and looked at him quizzically.
"Your relationship with that adult, or your past." Gallant asked curiously.
He continued, "Anyway, it's just waiting, so it's better to chat and kill time." ”
The rest of the group also surrendered their curious glances to Tony, and it was clear that they were also curious about it.
"Of course, if you don't want to say it, you can say it without saying it." Gallant added.
A playful smile appeared on Tony's face, "Do you really want to know?" ”
Gallant nodded.
"Well, it's not a secret that can't be said."
He looked at the men.
"Can you believe it?
I'm actually.
Saved the world. ”
Hearing the sound, Gallant and the people behind him all stopped breathing slightly, and began to listen......
Obviously, Tony's words captured their curiosity at once.
