Chapter 517 Only One Possibility Left
At this moment, both keys were in their hands.
Anders couldn't help but be eager to open Master Flame's tomb. However, before that, he glanced at both the Cohen family and the Mountshifters and spoke in a deep voice, "Before we open the tomb, there are some things that need to be said so that we don't ruin our relationship!"
Upon hearing this, members of the Cohen family and Mountshifters nodded indifferently, looking at Anders without much expression.
Before obtaining the keys, the three parties were allies. The Cohen family and Mountshifters were the "helpers" of the Ward family in lylonio. But now that they had all the keys, they had become competitors in the pursuit and division of interests. Now, they were all on guard against each other...
"In the tomb of Master Flame, if there really are treasures, we should divide them according to the previously agreed-upon proportions. This underground treasure was left to us by Master Flame, so we take the majority share, fifty percent. The friends from the Mountshifters are skilled in excavation. We will rely on you a lot, so you get thirty percent. And the Cohen family, you get twenty percent. Any objections, everyone?"
Anders asked in a deep voice.
After the words fell...
"Alright! We had already agreed on this, Anders, don't worry! We're all old friends, and no one would take advantage of others," the robust elder from the Mountshifters said loudly.
The middle-aged man from the Cohen family and the young young Brayden Cohen both had displeased expressions, but they nodded as well.
Once everything was settled, the people from the three parties headed towards the vast backyard of the Ward Residence. Master Flame had somehow decided to bury his tomb in this mansion. After a while...
Following a passageway leading underground, they arrived at the stone door of the tomb.
Anders held the two ancient keys in his hands and inserted them into the two keyholes on the stone door.
Boom...
Accompanied by a strong tremor, the stone door moved aside, and the tomb was instantly opened.
Hoo...
At this moment, a cold and heavily decayed gust of wind blew towards them.
"Mr. Segal, Gonzo, you're professionals at this. Shall we go in first with your people?" Anders turned to the Mountshifters, smiling as he asked.
The robust elder nodded and took out a candle. After lighting it and confirming that nothing unusual happened after a while, Harrison Segal called out to the seductive woman and led the members of the Mountshifters, a group of "experts," into the tomb.
Anders gestured to Joseph and the other four Grandmaster-level experts from his family, and the five of them followed suit.
The middle-aged man and Brayden from the Cohen family followed closely behind.
However, compared to the Mountshifters, the people from the Ward family and the Cohen family were more cautious.
They couldn't just wait outside while the Mountshifters thoroughly investigated the tomb. What if there were treasures inside, and the Mountshifters secretly hid them?
Inside the tomb, Harrison and Gonzo from the Mountshifters held torches as they walked through an underground corridor. Suddenly, the space in front of them expanded.
Everyone observed their surroundings with great caution. They saw a stone door ahead, with small chambers on either side.
"This is the space before the main burial chamber. The chambers on the left and right are the eastern and western ear chambers," said Gonzo.
"It seems that the layout of this tomb is quite simple," Harrison nodded, with a somewhat relaxed expression.
"That's normal! Before his death,
Master Flame told their ancestor of
the Ward family that if he and future generations encountered any trouble, they should open the tomb. This clearly left them an escape route, so it wouldn't have dangerous traps or hidden weapons," the middle-aged man from the Cohen family spoke naturally.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Let's go and see what's in these two ear chambers together," Joseph called out.
Harrison and Gonzo nodded, taking the lead towards the eastern chamber.
Upon entering, they saw that the eastern chamber was a space of about twenty square meters, filled with stacks of books.
"These books are antiques and could fetch a good price if sold, but they hold little significance," Joseph shook his head dismissively after flipping through them.
Harrison and the middle-aged man
from the Cohen family also showed
a lack of interest. While the books were valuable, they were not lacking in money. They were all here for the true treasures. If the books contained any cultivation techniques or esoteric arts, they might have been interested. But simple ancient books didn't catch their attention.
After a while, they arrived at the western chamber, but there was nothing noteworthy inside.
Joseph and the skilled members of the Ward family furrowed their brows, and the Mountshifters and the Cohen family murmured in discontent.
"Master Flame would never have left
only these things! Otherwise, he wouldn't have left such information for the ancestor of the Ward family. It seems that the true treasures in the main burial chamber," Harrison spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes, that must be it! Let's go to the main burial chamber," Joseph nodded, convinced.
After a brief discussion, they left the ear chambers and arrived directly in front of the stone door of the main burial chamber.
Harrison studied it for a moment, then pressed a protrusion on the door.
Boom!
The stone door opened with a resounding noise. A dense chill and an eerie atmosphere seemed to rush toward them. Everyone couldn't help but shiver.
In the center of the main burial chamber, there was a pitch-black coffin. In this dark and gloomy underground palace, it evoked a sense of dread.
These people relied on their skills and the presence of the Mountshifters, but they still mustered up the courage to enter.
After a moment...
The members of the three families gathered together, all with furrowed brows.
"Hmm? Besides the coffin, the main burial chamber has nothing else?" Joseph expressed his confusion.
"Hmph! Did Master Flame leave behind an empty tomb? Is that so?" the middle-aged man from the Cohen family snorted, annoyed.
At this moment, Harrison's gaze turned toward the coffin. In his lifetime, he had explored countless tombs and experienced danger more than once or twice. But nothing had ever given him such a strong sense of fear.
"If there are still any treasures, there's only one possibility!"
"That is... inside Master Flame's coffin!"
