The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1232 Emperor Scepter
Under the high temperature enough to bake eggs, West poured the heat-relief potion into his mouth in one breath.

The icy cold feeling seems to spread down the throat to every pore, so comfortable that people even want to just sleep like this.

Doing heavy physical labor in the desert is obviously different from that in a normal environment. Even with the assistance of special potions, physical exertion is still a problem that cannot be ignored.

Thanks to West, all the workers he hired were strong and physically fit. Those with a slightly weaker physique might collapse from exhaustion on the first day of excavation.

Although the conditions were tough and exhausting, neither West nor the workers complained.

Because doing this business is really making money.

The large gold coins issued by the empire are much larger than normal one-yuan coin-sized gold coins. A full 200 large gold coins are enough for everyone to live a good life for a period of time.

What's more, the most important thing in this matter is to be able to get on line with the official of the empire. If the official thinks that they have done a good job, they may include this group of people, especially because the treasure of the tyrant Nemesis is in the world, and all countries have raised a group of people. When archaeology is hot.

Even if it can't, West has a premonition that there must be a big gain this time.

In addition to the promised dead salary, according to the rules, if there is really a harvest, there will be a lot of bonuses, it should be said that the bonus is the big one.

West is indeed indifferent to Petra's ability to cause trouble. It hurts to think of the days when he was chased by armies from various countries, but West has never doubted Petra's ability. Can make a lot of money.

It’s just that Petra sometimes forgets to say hello to the local government, and conducts archaeological research on other people’s territory privately...

Basically tantamount to grave robbery.

And sometimes even if you say hello, once something good is really dug up, there will be a large group of people coming to grab it, which is why they were often chased before.

This time it was different, the territory directly under the Central Government was already tantamount to an unclaimed land, not to mention that they came in the name of the government this time, and there were [-] elite soldiers guarding them.

Work with peace of mind and make a lot of money, so although this trip was a bit tiring, no one complained.

Following the coolness of the anti-heat potion, West woke up his sun-dizzled head.

He will order the workers to clean up the ruins at the bottom of the tower later, because the original building structure has almost completely collapsed, and the collapse is very complicated. In order not to cause larger-scale damage, how to clean up these ruins is not an easy task .

Only West can feel more at ease when he sees this matter in person, and it would be bad if there is any accident if the workers do it all by themselves.

Thinking of this, West called a few workers and was about to do it when he saw Lin Tianci and Petra coming out of the door that had just been pried open.

Lin Tianci was fine, because she was wearing a hood to shade her, so she couldn't see any expression, but Petra's straw hat couldn't hide her excited expression, her eyes were shining, and she was written all over her face. can row...

This expression is not unusual, Petra always looks like this every time she digs up something good.

Although it is no surprise, when Petra shows this expression, it means that this time she will definitely make a lot of money.

So he said hello:

"How's it going inside? Did you find anything useful?"

Petra rushed in front of West almost at full speed:

"Quickly, send someone in to move things in. I'm going to tell you the ugly things, and let your hands and feet be clean. This is a great discovery!"

Every industry has its own rules, and West, who eats this bowl of rice, naturally understands it.

However, this also made West a little curious. He had dug up a lot of precious gold and silver jewelry before, and he didn't see Petra specifically reminding him.

This made West wonder, suddenly a little more excited.

Shouldn't you really hit the jackpot?
Lin Tianci also said beside him:

"Be careful when you go in. I have tried my best to dismantle all the traps, but it's hard to guarantee if there are any. Just don't mess around."

West nodded, expressing his understanding, and quickly called several trusted workers to go in with him.

It didn't take long before there were exclamations of admiration coming from inside. Changing to Lin Tianci's more familiar method, it was roughly like shouting out loud...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The period of the Old Empire was the most prosperous and prosperous period on this continent.

Although the tyrant Nemesis is greedy, he has to say that he is indeed a hero of a generation, with achievements in both literary and martial arts, and governing the country.

Therefore, as long as the ancient ruins of the tyrant Nemesis period are dug up, there is a high probability of a bumper harvest.

West and the workers moved out all the things in the treasure house. Due to the age, the boxes containing the treasures were all damaged. Many gold and silver utensils may fall out of the openings of the boxes during the moving. .

As a result, they had to take off the robes they were wearing to block the sun, and in the end they simply moved the bags out one by one, and soon they piled up into a hill not far from the door.

Harcui also noticed the movement of the shipment, and hurriedly asked a group of soldiers to come over to watch, and a special person was counting how many things had been shipped.

Among them are about [-] pieces of gold and silver vessels and [-] pieces of stone tools, all of which were used for sacrifices in the old empire. In addition to the value of gold and silver themselves, their value as cultural relics is also of great significance.

In addition, there are about dozens of ceremonial swords, armor, metal fabrics, etc.

Don't look at the fact that they can't compare with Nemesis' treasure, the value of these things is enough to make people crazy.

Since the treasure hunting teams sent by various countries have soldiers in charge, it is not clear whether the other two parties have shipped or dug to what extent, but Petra has had a bumper harvest.

Everyone is very happy, after this trip, the bonuses can be counted as soft as hands.

But Lin Tianci was obviously not among the happy people.

I thought there was something very important behind the treasury, but when I opened it, I saw that it was full of artifacts used in sacrifices or ceremonies. It was indeed valuable, but monks were not short of money.

He most hoped that there were clues or astronomical data about how to get to Avis stored in it, but there was not a single hair in this part.

"Quickly, get your stuff out."

When the boxes in the treasure house were almost moved, Petra couldn't bear it any longer, and dragged Lin Tianci to hide in the tent.

Because besides those simple sacrificial vessels, they also found other things in the treasury, and it was not fit to be seen.

Reluctantly, Lin Tianci took out a bright silver scepter about 1.5 meters long from the Dimensional Pocket. The round scepter was covered with carved circular and triangular patterns, which also made this smooth scepter It is more comfortable and will not slip easily.

The head of the scepter is also round, it should be said to be closer to a sphere, with several gemstones of different colors inlaid on it.

This is not a magic item, but it is more attractive to Petra than a legendary magic item.

Almost snatched it, Petra took the scepter and carefully stroked every detail on it, that expression...

Anyway, it's not very harmonious.

After being happy for a while, she tried to reach out and twist the head part of the upper half of the scepter. The smooth star head split an undetectable gap from the middle, and finally it was completely uncovered.

Inside is a round metal relief engraved with text from the Old Empire that looks like a seal.

"I didn't expect to be able to see this thing in my lifetime. It really is right to come back!"

The scepter itself represents power, and the scepter that makes Petra so precious is actually the emperor's scepter from the old empire.

The seal hidden at the head of the stick is the seal. To put it simply, this thing is roughly equivalent to the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom.

The Adrastia Empire has always claimed to be the orthodox successor of the old empire, but that is to say, there is no evidence at all.

But if there is this scepter in hand, it will be different. Although it is only of existential value, it is also very important to the Adrastia Empire.

In the treasure house before, Petra fell in love with it at a glance, and quickly asked Lin Tianci to put it in the pocket of the dimension first, at least before returning to Kuranxue, this scepter should not be exposed.

After studying happily for a while, Petra saw for the first time that Lin Tianci seemed not interested, and explained:

"Being able to find this scepter shows that King Quan was an important department in charge of manufacturing, astrology, and sacrifices in the old empire. There is not only one scepter. The one we found is probably a spare."

Things like seals are actually worn out, and the gold is soft, so it may become deformed after long-term use.

So even the seal used by the emperor actually had several copies as backups, and what they found was only one of them.

"According to my records, the imperial power in the old empire was inseparable from the astrology. At that time, people believed that the imperial power was bestowed by the gods, and the astrology was to interpret the will of the gods."

Sai Li also interjected, which made Lin Tianci immediately realize:

"You mean, there is likely to be information related to astrology?"

"Of course, without this scepter, I can't be sure, but since the emperor's scepter appeared, it means that Quan Wang Xing was probably the largest and most concentrated star research institute in the country at that time, and there was a great possibility that it was Institute of Magic"

The magic of this plane of the Lost Lands was researched by the locals themselves, and has nothing to do with the ancient elves. Because of this, there is no gap in their magic, but the speed of development is relatively slow.

In addition, their previous beliefs were mainly nature worship, and they were more inclined to study astrology than to develop magic.

Quan Wangxing belongs to a highly confidential manufacturing and research institution, and at the same time, he also takes part-time duties as a priest of the gods, and also plays a considerable role in major rituals and sacrificial activities.

In terms of status, it is roughly equal to the Qin Tianjian in ancient China, but it is more important and confidential.

What Petra means is that if you continue to dig, you will definitely find something useful, so don't worry.
