"Looking at this sixth stone carving, it is basically confirmed that many powerful races have carved some murals and stone carvings in their resting places. This tradition actually originated from the style of the high elves.
I won’t talk about other races, let’s just talk about the high elves. They usually start with the tree of life as the reason for their noble birth. This has two meanings: one is to remember their roots, and the other is to hope to be blessed by the tree of life and be reborn again. ”
"It is said that the high elves are longer-lived than the natural elves of today. Are they too greedy to want to be reborn?"
Lin Xingchen is not the only one who is uneducated. Colliver is also a person who has not learned basic culture well.
"They live a superior life from birth to death. Why can't they be greedy and be reborn a second time? For them, the joy of life is endless." Caitlin took a deep breath and explained to the two newbies.
"Before the High Elves fell, they did not have any desire for rebirth. They only had such a desire a thousand years after the Elven Age."
"About four thousand years ago, the high elves were at the peak of their rule over the Prano continent. As the elves who founded the Elven Empire passed away one after another, the division of power caused some unrest among the high elves. Although they all had a peaceful transition in the end, it also planted a knot in their hearts.
Those who have enjoyed all the good things are afraid of death. As their tribesmen die, they begin to worry about their own situation after death. Until one noble tried to prolong his life and regenerate himself for the first time, this action opened the door to desire, and no one wanted to die.
Afterwards, they were divided into several factions. One was the more peaceful rebirth faction. Before they died, they used their last magic power to connect to the Tree of Life in the hope of being reborn again. This type of people was the most numerous.
The second faction is more brutal. They believe that aging and death are caused by problems inside the body and that they can maintain their lifespan simply by solving these problems. So they began a large number of living experiments in the hope of unlocking the code of immortality.
The third faction is somewhat evil, and they use some dark magic and abyssal creatures to transform their bloodline to achieve their own immortality."
"I don't know if it was a miracle, but one of the people who used the first method actually succeeded. Although he only lived for an extra hundred years, his rebirth gave other people and other races a chance to see the future."
"You can imagine what happened afterwards. The elves built cemeteries on a large scale so that they could be reborn when the time comes." Caitlin has a talent for storytelling, and she described these things vividly.
"According to what you said, we have entered a cemetery of high elves who failed to be reborn. So what are we waiting for? Let's go now. I know where the main tomb is."
He led the four people directly to the coffin chamber according to the route remembered in the dream. When they stood at the gate of the main tomb chamber, the five people looked up at the closed door and fell into deep thought.
"How do you open this thing? Look, there's a halo of magic patterns running on it." Colliver said with a distressed look on his face.
"I just find it strange that there is no danger ahead, but looking at the current situation, I guess we really don't need any traps." Caitlin said helplessly.
"You guys really think too much. How can you take risks in the future if you sigh and groan over a mere magic pattern array?" Lin Xingchen looked at the magic pattern array on the main tomb door and liked it more and more.
"By the way, I remember you said you had a magic circle. The magic pattern array is also an application of the magic circle. Lin, do you know how to unlock it?" Scarlett asked excitedly.
"Hehe... If it was two years ago, I might not have been able to do it, but now I think I can do it." As he said that, he pushed everyone away and stood in front of the door, taking out the pen that had been engraving magic circles from the space.
"The magic circle you see is just an appearance. In fact, there are other magic circles hidden around it. These small magic circles are connected to form a large magic circle.
This not only increases its power, but also makes it much more difficult for others to crack it."
"Caitlin, you guys put up the magic shield." After giving these instructions, Lin Xingchen pressed his left hand on the door, and the magic power was transmitted to every corner through his palm.
The flow of magic power made those hidden magic arrays appear one by one. After counting the three pairs of small magic arrays on the gate, Lin Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is only one six-linked magic pattern array. If there is one more set, it will be troublesome."
He kept calculating the operating rules of the magic pattern array in his mind, and finally arrived at a node ten minutes earlier. He lightly drew a line at a position in the upper left corner with the array pen in his right hand, and the magic pattern that was originally flashing with magic halo quickly dimmed.
The points were ticked one by one according to the calculated positions. Finally, the magic arrays above the door were all extinguished, and then the sound of mechanical rotation was heard from behind the door.
After a few clicks, Lin Xingchen said to the people behind him: "I'm about to push the door open, get ready, no one knows what will happen next."
Lin Xingchen and Colliver pushed the ball on one side, while Marcy held up a shield in the middle to deal with various problems at any time. The two beautiful mages also put on several layers of shields on their bodies.
As the two of them pushed the door open slowly, there was no dust or moldy smell as they had imagined. Caitlin directly threw a flare in.
After observing everything and finding nothing wrong, the five of them followed the light of the illumination technique and entered the main tomb chamber.
There is a strange coffin on a wooden platform made of a huge tree trunk. The whole coffin looks like a huge tree trunk. Next to the coffin are several large bookshelves in memory. Next to the full bookshelves are some props similar to workbenches.
When I walked in, I found that they were actually potion containers and a box of magic circle engraving pens.
There were dozens of decorations and paintings of various kinds, and there were several large boxes in the right corner. Colliver exclaimed as soon as he opened the box.
Several people thought he had found something valuable, but when they went over to take a look, they discovered that it was actually a box full of gold coins.
It was the same when opening the other boxes. Four of the five large boxes were full of gold coins, and the last one was filled with gems and other things. Seeing such wealth, even Lin Xingchen couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
"Wow, we can get rich once we take these things out. Look, these are gold coins from the era of high elves. I remember one appeared at the auction house in the imperial capital a few years ago and was bought for seventy imperial gold coins. As long as we take them out, we can definitely sell them for a good price." Colliver was so excited that he was talking incoherently.
"If you sell them all, I guess you can only get a one-to-one exchange at best, because people are buying antiques and you are selling gold coins, which have different meanings."
"That's fine. At least if we divide this amount of gold coins among the five of us, I can definitely buy more than a dozen sets of silk clothes."
"Don't worry about the gold coins for now. What's important is what's inside the coffin. If there's something inside, it must be worth more than these gold coins." Caitlin took Clive and Scarlett to the coffin.
The five people observed for a long time but still could not find a way to open the wooden stake coffin.
"I have a strange feeling, as if something is watching us." Lin Xingchen had this illusion several times, and finally he couldn't help but say it out loud.
"Lin, stop making trouble. You can see here that if there was any danger, it would have happened long ago. I think it would be better for us to observe this coffin carefully. What do you think of directly splitting this coffin open?"
"No, everything of the high elves is good. What if you destroy it like this?" Scarlett objected firmly.
Without joining in their bickering, Lin Xingchen carefully observed the wooden coffin and the wooden platform. The two objects looked like they were directly carved out. If he hadn't knocked on the rice surface and found that it was indeed hollow, Lin Xingchen would have thought that they were decorations.
At a corner, the appearance of a small wooden wedge let Lin Xingchen know what was going on.
"This coffin was not pushed open but pried open. Look here." He pointed to the wooden wedges. This kind of thing is usually used to wedge wood directly together.
"What are you waiting for? Break it open!" Colliver called Marcy and the other man started to break it open.
With the blessing of the two people's fighting spirit, the coffin really needed to be opened directly as Lin Xingchen guessed.
Seeing there was a door, Lin Xingchen hurried to help, and the three of them finally opened the coffin lid together.
This strange coffin actually has a lid, and the corpse is directly sunken into the wooden platform. If you are not careful, it is impossible to discover the secret of the wooden coffin.
After opening the coffin lid, several people hurried to check the situation inside.
What was disappointing was that there was nothing inside, not even a gold coin.
"Damn... I've been busy for so long and don't get a single gold coin this year. I should have not looked at it earlier." Lin Xingchen actually agreed with Colliver's complaint. Although this guy was a high elf and was considered one of his tribesmen, he didn't know which tribe he belonged to.
Secondly, Lin Xingchen subconsciously still regarded himself as a human being. Just when Lin Xingchen shook his head in disappointment and was about to look at something else, a shadow flashed by quickly.
This movement made Lin Xingchen more alert. He released his mental power and quietly released a magic wizard's eye to detect magic.
Just as Colliver, Circus and others were checking out the artworks, Lin Xingchen raised his wand and six ice arrows flew towards a corner of their house. This series of continuous actions was completed in the blink of an eye.
