Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Treasure of the Last Emperor
A burst of golden light flashed in the empty dormitory hall, and Ouyang Yu and Toris, Natasha, and the vampire maids returned here.
Now that the sky is already dark, Ouyang Yu dismissed the vampire maid and was about to yawn and prepare to go back to sleep, a vampire maid who had just left walked in again and saluted and reported: "Your Highness, the leader of the first squadron of the Guards asks to see him, saying that there is something important that needs to be reported to you in person. β
"What is he doing now? Didn't you tell him to arrest someone? Just catch someone and send him to the Military Intelligence Bureau, why come to me and call him in." Although I thought so, I still called people in.
After the vampire maid was kidnapped by the five elders and issued an early warning, Ouyang Yu ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau to investigate the whole city to see if there were any accomplices, and then dispatched the Guards to arrest people, and the Military Intelligence Bureau, which had a strong control over the royal capital, quickly found out the two of their subordinates who were still in the hotel, and the first squadron of the Guards was ordered to arrest them.
After a while, the young and handsome captain of the first squadron of the Guards strode in, he was wearing a dark green cap, the middle brim of the big cap had a shining red five-pointed star on the brim, the inside of the five-pointed star was a yellow sickle hammer, wearing a lapel coat that was also dark green, and there were two hard black bottom epaulettes on the shoulders of the coat, and the epaulettes were embroidered with a silver bar and four stars (David's rank), and there was a bunch of rectangular hard collar badges on the big lapels, and the collar badges were embroidered with a two-headed dragon representing the logo of the royal guardsγ
He wears a leather document bag around his waist, a TT-33-style hedron pistol on his right waist, and black leather gloves on both hands. With a pair of black long leather shoes on his feet, he walked in front of Ouyang Yu. Keep your heels together and put your fingers together on the brim of your hat. He gave a military salute very handsomely and said: "The commander of the first squadron of the Guards, Vasily Tumenvsky, report to Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief!"
If any earthlings see it, they will definitely exclaim, isn't this the military uniform of the Soviet Red Army 42 years later during World War II?
Ouyang Yu nodded and said, "Comrade Captain, please take a break." β
Vasily Tumenvsky has his left and right feet apart, his hands behind his back.
Ouyang Yu continued: "Do you have anything to report to me? By the way, by the way, let's talk about your arrest operation tonight." β
"Click. Vasily Tumenvsky said: "Yes, Comrade Commander, tonight our unit received an order to arrest the saboteurs who had infiltrated the royal capital, and the arrest operation went very smoothly. There were 22 saboteurs, of whom 9 were killed on the spot for resisting, and the remaining 13 were all captured, and there were no casualties among our troops. β
Vasily Tumenvsky paused to allow Ouyang Yu to digest what he had just said before continuing: "After preliminary interrogation, this group of saboteurs is all the backbone of the Dark Council, and one of them claims to have very important information to tell you in person, in exchange for his life. β
"Very important information? Interesting, bring him in. I'd like to see what the information is. β
"Yes. Vasily Tumenvsky saluted again and then turned to carry out the order, and half an hour later Vasily Tumenvsky came in first, followed by two men who were also dressed in the uniforms of Soviet soldiers from 42 years and wore M40 steel helmets. The soldier carrying an M1891 Mosin-Nagant rifle-style hedron rifle on his shoulder dragged a man who had been beaten like a pig's head.
Ouyang Yu waved his hand to let Vasily Tumenvsky and the two soldiers go out first, looked at the man lying on the ground and asked, "Who are you, I'm not interested in knowing Lu Dao, I just want to know Lu Dao, what information do you have in exchange for your life?"
The man raised his head a little weakly and looked at Ouyang Yu who was high above and asked, "Can you guarantee the safety of my life?"
"If the message you're telling is worth saving your life. β
The man lowered his head and hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." I said, I'm an overseer of the Brotherhood's shadows. Mainly responsible for secretly monitoring the situation in the guild, I once overheard two brothers who are also in the shadows talking. They said that the Great Elder had found the approximate location of the tomb of the last emperor of the Ancient Titan Empire, Ristius IV. β
"The mausoleum of Ristius IV?!" Ouyang Yu immediately stood up in a distemper when he heard the news.
Ristius IV was the last emperor of the mighty ancient Titan Empire, and this emperor was the quintessential antagonist of all history textbooks, the standard tyrant.
Twenty-one-year-old Ristius IV, after ascending the throne, began to build his mausoleum in a secret place, and the mausoleum he built for himself was extremely luxurious, and legend has it that the mausoleum was paved with gold, and countless magic crystals were used as stars to fill the ceiling, and there were countless treasures.
While building a mausoleum for himself, Ristius IV was afraid of death, and hired many famous magicians of the time to study the art of immortality for himself, including the inventor of necromancy.
Restius IV spent astronomical sums of money on the construction of the mausoleum and the study of immortality, squandering the wealth accumulated by the Titan Empire royal family for thousands of years, in order to maintain his own needs in terms of money, he stretched his hand to the treasury and frequently raised taxes, the imperial officials had long been dissatisfied with the various practices of Restius IV, and refused to carry out his order to raise taxes, so Restius IV sent court officials (that is, eunuchs) to collect taxes for themselves, and the officials who were sent out used his name to levy rags everywhere, a large number of civilians, small merchants and small nobles could not afford to pay high taxes, or went bankrupt and became slaves or commoners, even the great nobles suffered a lot, and the discontent of the vast empire against Ristius IV was growing from top to bottom.
After getting abundant funds, the mausoleum built by Ristius IV for himself took 500,000 slaves to work day and night for a total of 30 years to be completely completed, and for the secrecy of the mausoleum, Restians IV not only killed the 500,000 slaves, but also took charge of the design\ The official who built it was also killed in the mausoleum, and at the same time the research of immortality made considerable progress, and just as he was celebrating the completion of the mausoleum, a major event that would forever go down in history occurred, when the ancient Higra, who had been exiled by the Titan Empire for three thousand years and were disparaged as the Kushin, recovered their artifact, the Sword of Sayuk. He left the land of Karak, where he had lived for 3,000 years, and planned to return to his homeland, the beautiful and rich Higra.
When Ristius IV heard the news, he was inexplicably furious. Seeing this as a contempt and challenge to him, he sent a large army to crusade against the damned "Kushin".
The outcome of the battle was beyond the expectations of Ristius IV. The Higra defeated the army that had gone on to defeat them and continued their march towards their homeland.
Annoyed that Restius IV, who had lost his mind, sent troops to attack the Higra again and again, but was beaten again and again in front of the Higra with the secret help of many parties, and constantly wiped out the army loyal to Restius IV.
The opposition in the Titan Empire took the opportunity to rise up, and the angry people burned the official mansion, killed the internal officials, and expelled the officials under the bewitchment of the nobles with ulterior motives, and the Titan Empire, which ruled the entire continent, collapsed in an instant, divided into hundreds of countries, large and small, and then formed today's pattern after hundreds of years of chaos.
Legend has it that in desperation, Ristius IV killed all his women and children. Only a three-year-old little prince was secretly taken outside the palace by several officials who had taken care of him since birth, and he was not known to be whereabouts.
Ristius IV, who eventually killed all his relatives, brought their corpses and his remaining loyalists into his mausoleum, along with his army and the vast wealth looted from across the continent.
For thousands of years, countless careerists and adventurers who wanted to get rich overnight tried to find the tomb of Ristius IV, but none of them succeeded, and gradually the famous tyrant and his tomb became a legend.
Ouyang Yu didn't expect that the Dark Council would have the ability to find the tomb of Ristius IV, although it was only an approximate location now, but this was also a great discovery, if Ouyang Yu could get the treasure in the mausoleum, then her strength would be greatly enhanced, thinking of this, she asked a little excitedly: "Where is the approximate location?"
Who knew that the man didn't say anything. Just lie on the ground and count the ants.
His mind Ouyang Yu knew very well that he would never say it without a security guarantee, but he was thought that Ouyang Yu had no choice.
"Look up and look me in the eye. β
Hearing this, the man subconsciously raised his head and looked into Ouyang Yu's eyes.
"Demagogy. β
The celebrity was instantly controlled.
"Tell me the location. β
The man had a struggling look on his face. Obviously, the self-consciousness was fighting against Ouyang Yu's control magic, but Ouyang Yu's magic was so easy to resist, the man's expression slowly calmed down and said slowly: "The approximate location is on the border between the current Principality of Glade and the Kingdom of Havilanzi. In the Misty Valley of Death in the Duchy of Glade. β
"When did you learn about this news?Has the follow-up of your Dark Council begun?, and what about the strength of the Great Elder?"
"I learned the news more than a month ago. The follow-up should have not begun yet, or had just begun, as finding the exact location of the tomb would require deciphering the ancient texts found by the Great Elder. The entrance to the tomb and the location of the safe passage inside the tomb are recorded in ancient Titan script, and to decipher these documents, it is necessary to find an expert who is proficient in the ancient Titan script, and the Great Elder is going to kidnap the ancient Titan's paleographer, Mitri Mendeleev, and ask him to translate the ancient texts. β
"As for the strength of the Great Elder, as far as I heard, he is a high-level mage of the Earth Elemental Department, and what he is best at is summoning clay figures to fight for himself. The man finished telling what he knew.
"Smack!" After knowing what he wanted to know, Ouyang Yu killed him with a thunderbolt in order not to spread this precious information, and ordered Vasily Tumenvsky and two Guards soldiers who rushed in when they heard the noise: "Drag him out of Lu and find a place to bury him." β
Although he didn't know why Ouyang Yu wanted to kill someone, the loyal Vasily Tumenvsky didn't ask what he wanted, and honestly followed her orders to carry out the task and dragged the body out of Lu.
"Doris, Natasha, let's not sleep, get ready now, pack our bags, and we'll set off as soon as dawn, that great fortune can't be taken away by the people of the Dark Council. Ouyang Yu stood up and walked towards his bedroom. (To be continued......)
