sleep forever

Three days later, at the old place of the Blackstone Hotel, the four of them met again.This time, Ryan and Rose looked energetic, while James Bond and Bode looked tired and about to lie down.Especially James Bond, with black eye circles and red threads in his pupils, which had a great negative impact on his handsome appearance.

Bode's situation is better, but he looks like a dog that is about to die of exhaustion, giving the impression that he has been panting hard.

"My teacher has agreed to help us fight against other forces and the scorpion mercenary group." A new red crystal was re-embedded on James Bond's wooden stick, and his left hand gently stroked the smooth facet of the crystal, as if Doing that would make his head sober: "It's just that he put forward a condition that you must be extremely careful in the process of excavating the tomb, and you must never destroy the permanent beds where the ancient ancestors slept. You can't break those permanent beds." idea."

Bode was a little puzzled: "The permanent bed left over from the ancient times was sold in the noble market. It was a huge sum of money, enough to feed several medium-sized mercenary groups, Mr. James Bond. Besides, if the permanent bed If it comes out, we may not get much profit from this excavation.”

James Bang sneered: "Don't mention those pseudo-nobles, they want permanent beds, not so that their bodies can keep their appearance forever after death. They take the corpses of ancient ancestors out of permanent beds and discard them at will. It is disrespect to the ancestors, people who cannot communicate with the soul will never understand what is the truth. They have the name of nobles, but they do barbaric things..." James Bond tapped the table with a wooden stick: "I am ashamed to be with him !"

Bode, Ryan and Rose were silent at the same time. The three of them are also "people who cannot communicate with the soul" in James Bond's mouth. Although they are not nobles, they still have the idea of ​​​​getting a permanent bed. Although the words were not aimed at them, they made them feel a little ashamed and uneasy.

After a while, James Bond's mood subsided, and he said apologetically, "Three, I was rude just now. I'm going to greet you all. Please don't take it to heart. The teacher knows that this request is a bit embarrassing, so he decided to let him have I will give half of the profit to the two of you, and after the matter is completed, the teacher and I will each get [-]%, and the mercenary group you belong to will each get [-]%. What do you want to do?"

Ryan and Bode looked at each other. If they gave up the permanent bed, they would indeed lose a lot of benefits, but if they got [-]% more benefits, then it might not be able to offset the loss of giving up the permanent bed, and maybe they could gain another The favor of the soul thinker, this deal is quite a bargain.

Ryan smiled and said: "Our mercenary group is willing to obey the wishes of His Excellency James Bond."

Bode then leaned over and said, "It's my honor to follow the teachings of the soul thinker."

James Bond nodded, and then took out a small white cloth bag from the mouth of his robe: "This is the elemental shock bomb developed by the teacher, and the specific method of use is also in this bag. Your Excellency Bode, after you are done, send Seal the entrance of the ancient mausoleum, and then make the contents of this bag into a trap to deter those who want to go in and steal the permanent bed. As for the secrecy measures afterwards, the teacher and I will take it seriously, you two can rest assured."

Both Ryan and Bode were stunned, knowing in their hearts that this was James Bond making a detour to remind the two of them: Take care of yourself and your subordinates, don't think about secretly looking for the digging bed in the future, I have something to do with the teacher Way to track down whether you moved that thing.

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

Six months later, the ruins of Solomon's palace.

This was originally a piece of fertile land, but since the destruction of the Solomon Dynasty, it has gradually become the Gobi Desert that it is now.The sky is full of yellow sand, gravel, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves.The formerly luxurious and luxurious palace walls have now become low and chaotic rock piers covered by yellow sand.

There is no water source in this place, and it is sparsely populated. Originally, there were occasional traveling merchants passing by here, hiding in the ruins and leaning on the remaining broken walls to escape the attack of wind and sand. However, since three months ago, there have been rumors of ghosts appearing here. Indeed, after some pedestrians heard the strange sound, the traveling merchants went far away.

The resentment of the subjugated country cannot be provoked, this is the most common thought of all ordinary people.

In the center of the ruins, there is a rather messy area, as if someone threw all the scattered walls in the ruins here, and built a strange but chaotic pile of walls with a considerable amount of space.

A figure stuck its head out from under the pile of chaotic walls, first looked around, then put its ears on the gravel, listened for a long time, then crawled out, walked to the broken wall in the distance, and pulled open its pants , put a puddle of yellow water out.He stretched himself, raised his head and squinted at the blurred sun, and said to himself: "It's been a long time since I've been in the sun, it's so comfortable."

He stood there for a while, then climbed into the pile of chaotic walls, and burrowed into the ground along the entrance.

Holding a luminous crystal, the man walked through the dark soil steps and came to an empty underground cavity.There are more than [-] people standing here, and there is a strange smell in the air.The sour smell of human sweat and a sulfur-like smell are mixed together, which is quite pungent. This person got used to smelling it for a long time. He picked up an iron hook from the wall, and then stuffed the luminous crystal in his hand into the wall through a small hole, and walked up to a metal wall.

At the end of the insight, the metal wall is black all over and has an extremely smooth surface, but in the middle, a large hole has been dug abruptly, making the originally thick and beautiful metal wall look particularly ugly and abrupt.

In front of the big hole, there were more than 20 men standing with the same hook, and there were a few more in front, pouring a black liquid onto the metal wall. At the same time, two men pierced the long hooks in their hands into the metal wall, pulling off a small piece of black metal.

After so many times of peeling and blending, they just dug a big hole out of the thick metal wall.

Every piece of metal skin that has been pulled down is recycled by a special person, taken to the back, and stacked together.Ryan and Bode stood aside and watched, their hair and beard had grown so long that they almost covered their entire faces.Rose stood behind Ryan. Women are always cleaner than men, but her hair is also greasy and shiny.

Ryan picked up a piece of metal that had just been removed from the corner. As the liquid evaporated, the metal skin became hard again.He took out a dagger from his clothes, and sliced ​​through the metal sheet.After a ding, the metal skin didn't scratch at all, and the sharp edge stuck into the edge of the dagger instead.

"Ohari steel..." Ryan sighed reverently: "The ancestors of the ancient magic age are really amazing. If it is tough metal, how did they make it? Even the saliva of the black dragon that claims to be able to corrode all substances , it can only soften the Ohari steel for a short time, and the black dragon saliva will soon lose its effect, and the Ohari steel will soon become tough again. Those guys from the dragon clan boast every day that they are an excellent race. But it is still not crazy to pursue the magical relics of our human ancestors, in front of the civilization of our human ancestors, they must not even dare to fart."

Bode also sighed in the back: "Those dragon guys are willing to lower their proud heads in front of the civilization of the ancestors of the ancient magic age, and in front of the servant 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 dragons, I gave up the magic crystal shield, the only treasure I had, and almost exposed our plan this time. Fortunately, the guys from the black dragons have always looked down on us, so they barely covered it .”

Ryan smiled and said: "There must be a lot of materials for magic crystal shields in the mausoleum, and you will share more with me at that time. I heard that Ohari steel and magic crystals are the most basic building materials of ancient ancestors. Luxury, too extravagant."

Bode nodded. He is an alchemist, and all kinds of items from the ancient magic period are his favorite. Giving him a few more magic crystal materials will make him happier than giving him a lot of money.

At this time, a mercenary ran over and said to Ryan: "Captain, come and listen, the voice is a bit wrong, we think it's fast, can you come and have a look?"

Ryan was overjoyed immediately. He carefully put the metal piece in his hand in the corner, then walked to the big hole in the metal wall, waited for the black dragon's saliva to evaporate, and tapped it with his hands. Sure enough, he felt that the sound was obviously different from the previous one. , it seems a lot empty.

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

"Long live Captain Ryan!" A group of mercenaries cheered and rushed out of the cellar. They were already going crazy.

When most of the people got to the ground, Bode asked inexplicably, "Why don't you make persistent efforts and break through this steel wall in one go."

Ryan said: "This is a mausoleum in the age of ancient magic. No one knows what dangers lie inside. Although most of the ancient ruins are safe, I have also heard that someone was killed by a strange attack in the ancient ruins. The whole body is scorched, as if burned by an invisible fire. Opening the mausoleum is only the first step. Our goal is to bring things home alive. In order to deal with the unknown situation, sufficient physical strength is necessary."

Bode shrugged: "It seems that you have a lot of experience in this field, Ryan, and it seems to be my greatest luck so far to be able to cooperate with you."

Ryan also smiled: "I think so too."
