Chapter 261: Excavation

After the Morgoth assassination passed, Britania reached a cooperation with Hogwarts, but this did not mean that Britania gave up on exploring mysteries.

In fact, after Mark brought back information about King Arthur and her Knights of the Round Table from Hogwarts, the Britannian side quickly organized a group of archaeologists and historians to go to the British Isle to conduct research on King Arthur.

After a period of time, most of the older scholars, who were older, withdrew from the joint study in anger.

This is not surprising, because in this world, King Arthur does not exist, and it is incredible that this group of people can actually study for such a long time.

Only a small number of young people persisted with the support of Britannia's generous salary and studied nothing in Britain for more than half a year. Fortunately, their efforts paid off. This group of scholars found an old stone slab in a ruins of ancient Britain that they had recently discovered, and found records of King Arthur from it.

This made them feel extremely excited because it means that their research has made a qualitative leap - confirming the existence of King Arthur.

If this stone slab was given to those self-righteous old scholars, they would probably be able to see them all out - this group of young scholars who discovered the stone slab thought so in their minds.

The above is written in ancient Celtic language, which seems to be a relative of King Arthur stole something from King Arthur's hands...

Interestingly, the burial place of this thing is also recorded, a... something that is crucial to King Arthur...

Now, these young archaeologists and historians suddenly became excited, and they all cracked the ancient Celtic language on it like chicken blood and searched for possible burial places for this thing.

When Daniel came to the British Isle, they followed the guidance of the stone slabs to this place where important items about King Arthur were buried...

“Is it just here?”

Mark held a cigarette in his mouth and narrowed his eyes at the cave in front of him that was pushed open by a huge bulldozer.

"Yes, we compared the topographic map of the British Isle closest to that era, and compared the twelve similar places on the British Isle to find it. If that's right, this should be the one."

Leon, beside Mark, said to Mark seriously.

That's right, it's Sherlock's father Leon, who was involved in the stone restoration work of King Arthur's era as Britania's best antique restorator a week ago.

After all, it was something from thousands of years ago, and it was too fantastic to be intact.

Next, as the best antique appraiser in Britania, he was retained by the research team to continue to participate in the deciphering of stone slabs.

And because he had exchanged with Mark, he was selected by the research team as a report on the research results.

Mark nodded, "Let's go."

As he said that, he walked in first, and Leon and a bunch of researchers behind him followed closely behind him.

They were not in the darkness they imagined, nor did they smell the filthy and mouldish smell. They just saw a soft sunlight that was broken into light blue light. The air and light penetrated not only from the hole where they came in, but also from the cracks of rocks that were invisible outside the hole.

From these cracks, you can see the blue sky, the branches and leaves of green oak trees and the raspberries with thick thorns, climbing and growing stems, swaying against the blue sky.

Leon frowned. This was not good news. Although he didn't know what they were looking for, one thing that could be confirmed was that what they were looking for was at least antiques from the Arthurian period in the fifth century - at least something that would cost more than 1,500 years.

Many things can be eliminated for more than a thousand years, such as all paper materials about King Arthur's period, and no paper can be preserved for more than a thousand years.

Therefore, if people want to understand that era, they must understand it through some long-standing objects and murals, but there are few written records. It is already a miracle to discover that stone slab.

But at the same time, even if these objects are placed in a place filled with oxygen and moist for more than a thousand years, there will be nothing left due to the oxidation reaction.

This is also the reason why archaeologists will rescue the tombs after they are opened by accident, because oxygen has poured in at the moment of opening the tombs. If the antiques are not rescued, they will soon be damaged due to oxidation reactions.

If it weren't for the accidentally opened ancient tomb archaeologists, they would not have opened it on their own initiative. Many people now say that archaeologists are public tomb robbers, but in fact, they have completely different concepts of tomb robbers.

To sum up, Leon felt that most of the things they were looking for this time would not be saved.

"The stone slab says that things are at the deepest part of the second hole. Where is the second hole?" Leon murmured softly, searching around in confusion.

Mark walked to a place after scanning the surroundings and tapping them gently. They found a strange scene. Wherever their fists went, a large area of ​​mural-like paint-like objects peeled off, revealing a white-colored stone with a soft texture.

I guess the person who hid something was the one who used this stone to seal the hole. Mark did not hesitate and ignored Leon's expression of wanting to speak but stopped, and punched the wall, revealing the hole behind him.

The second hole was lower, darker, and more scary than the first one. The air could only enter from the opening of the hole, and the stench was emitted in the hole. Everyone present could not help but cover their mouths.

There is a deep and dark corner on the left of the entrance of the cave, but the archaeologists behind have already turned on the searchlights prepared in advance.

Their eyes were all concentrated in a corner. If there was something really buried somewhere here, then maybe it was only here.

"Hurry, dig this place quickly, remember to be careful! One thousand five hundred years have passed, this thing must be very fragile, be 100% careful!" Leon reminded the surrounding archaeologists.

These scientists are all professional, and they are completely aware of Leon's advice. They cleaned the land in this area bit by bit with the small shovel, hoe and brush in their hands.

They move very slowly, as cautious as they treat a newborn baby, so they are also very slow to progress.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky, which was originally clear and clear, began to rain heavily, and the air around me became wet, staying humid and feeling very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After several hours of careful digging, they finally discovered something strange.

"It's a box, there's a wooden iron box under the soil!!"

Mark jumped out of the pit, used magic to clear the surrounding soil, and slowly opened the wooden box. Others were dumbfounded by the things inside.

There is a scabbard inside, with blue and gold patterns, which is very delicate, but this is not surprising. What is surprising is that this thing that should have been sleeping in this ground for more than 1,500 years...
