Chapter 1028: Chapter 316: Have We Found the Imperial Mausoleum Already?_3 Chapter 1028: Chapter 316: Have We Found the Imperial Mausoleum Already?_3 Leonard Churchill could almost be certain that the Old Karen was a mber of the Royal Family’s Secret Guard.
Accordingly, this guy might have also realized that soone had been infiltrating their ranks.
However, Leonard did not feel that he himself had been exposed.
On the contrary, he found the situation increasingly interesting.
Since he had not been discovered, then, it must be soone else.
Setting aside the struggle for kingship on the Southern Continent for the mont, it was highly likely that among this team were political rivals of Prince Salo;
but on the East Continent, there were only a few suspects.
Unfortunately, all of them were Leonard’s enemies.
….
The White Family’s legacy had not been broken, and now they served as the national advisor to the Orlan Royal Family.
Leonard did not believe the New King Arthur would simply watch as these people from the Southern Continent dug up his ancestral spirits.
But he could not stop them outright.
And there was no thod more suitable than the White Family’s subtle ans of infiltration.
Therefore, Leonard suspected that among this expedition team, there must be a mber of the White Family.
With this thought in mind, these past few days, he had occasionally used his identity as an information rchant to subtly suggest the White Family’s infiltration tactics to Old Karen, in light of the Plague Marsh incident.
…
“Your Highness, it appears to be a huge Underground Palace down there!”
“My god, so many relics!”
“…”
Before long, the first group of rcenaries that had burrowed underground brought up exploration intelligence and a large number of ancient items.
Old Karen, the archaeologist, was called over as well.
After a quick assessnt, he imdiately confird that those rusted tal weapons and broken pottery jars were from the post-Talun Era.
And they were burial goods.
aning, beneath the earth lay a Tomb.
This news excited everyone.
There were many nobles during the Talun Era, and correspondingly, many Tombs too.
If they truly had discovered a Tomb, it would be as if the adventurers had hit a gold mine.
When Leonard heard this news, he was slightly surprised, “Just like that, they found it?”
And now he had so information indirectly confird by Tracy Garcia’s account: The Rune Highlands were indeed the resting place of the King of Augustus’ Royal Family.
There couldn’t possibly be ordinary tombs in the vicinity of the royal burial site.
Thus, even if the Underground Palace below was not the King’s Mausoleum, it had to be the Tomb of so significant figure.
The others had not yet realized the significance of this Tomb.
But Prince Salo had specifically co for the King’s Mausoleum, so he imdiately ordered everyone to go underground.
The ssage could not be leaked, and even the logistical staff like Leonard followed them down.
The space underneath was vast.
It was truly like an Underground City.
With various colossal pillars supporting it, and the ceiling at its highest point towering a hundred or even two hundred ters, it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
Although many areas had collapsed, the space still remained incredibly spacious.
Leonard and his thousands of compatriots could disperse without any issue.
The nimble assassins clambered up the columns and lit the everlasting lamps on the high walls of the burial chamber.
In a mont, the orange light illuminated the entire Underground Palace.
A suprely magnificent scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
As the light shone brightly, faces all around simultaneously displayed expressions of awe.
“My god, what level of monuntality is this burial site!”
No one present had ever seen a tomb so vast, and everyone was astounded by the scene before them.
It was an Underground Palace of a burial site in the style of the Talun Era, entirely constructed from gigantic, dark yellow-stoned slabs.
Huge guardian statues, standing a hundred ters tall, were positioned all around the Palace, their presence majestic and solemn.
The walls were decorated with colorful, finely detailed exquisite frescoes.
The frescoes depicted scenes of everyday life during the Talun Era, stories of wars, and mythological tales…
The characters were lifelike, as if a vivid historical scroll was unfolding, granting physical touch to the splendor and mystery of the Taren Civilization.
All the items in the Underground Palace seed to have been built for the Gods.
Everything within sight was ten tis the size of normal human objects.
Leonard and his thousands seed as tiny as ants.
This also evoked a sense of reverence and astonishnt in everyone’s hearts.
As they gazed upon the scene, they were struck dumb.
Even Leonard’s eyes were trembling with excitent as he murmured to himself, “Could it really be the King’s Mausoleum that we’ve found…”
He had this thought because he had seen this style before.
Right on the outskirts of Sinless City in that “Grand Cetery Labyrinth” of the Alternate Dinsion, the style was identical.
But it was precisely because it seed they had found it that he felt puzzled.
Because, it was all too easy.
This instinctively gave Leonard a sense of crisis, as if they had been led here by soone.
Exactly!
It all started with that “Grave Digger’s map,” and from there the thread of cause and effect began.
Leonard thought of sothing and a look of perplexity briefly crossed his face, “Strange, if soone really led us here, who could it be?”
This thought had hardly arisen when an intriguing sense of conspiracy washed over him.
Very few people knew that Rune Highlands were the resting place of King Augustus’ Royal Family.
The Orlan Royal Family, the White Family, the Great Priest Lineage, the high echelons of the Ariel Empire…
Leonard rapidly ran through his mind,
But he couldn’t think of anyone who had a motive to lead Prince Salo and his group to the King’s Mausoleum.
As he pondered, a distant shout from one of Prince Salo’s guards rang out, “The Prince commands, all who enter the Tomb will be rewarded with one thousand Gold Coins! After we return, there will be a share of the rewards for everyone. Start exploring now, whoever makes a significant discovery or achieves a great feat will receive imnse reward!”
At these words, the rcenaries and hunters were all excited.
Everyone knew the risks, but they were paid to explore, so rewards were more than welco.
With the promise of great rewards, the adventurers excitedly sprinted toward the depths of the Underground Palace.
…
Prince Salo knew the King’s Mausoleum of Augustus must be full of lethal dangers.
He’d brought this group clearly as Cannon Fodder.
Leonard thought to this point, and decisively scanned the Cannon Fodder slave camp, quickly spotting a cowering old man.
Tracy Garcia had inford that the King’s Mausoleum was “extrely dangerous,” and Leonard himself was not confident that he could survive in the perilous Tomb.
But, Elder Clinton could.
