Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 487: Opening the Royal Tomb to Retrieve the Treasure (3)
Even when returning home occasionally, it must be as individuals, and never en masse.
Their original duties within the Northern Tribe are now inherited by their families.
This is also the fundamental reason Simon, after subduing the rebellion with everyone, did not return to the Northern Tribe but stayed in the palace to become the Great General.
If so many people returned to the Northern Tribe after quelling the unrest, it would certainly draw attention, and thus the secret of the Northern Tribe would no longer be a secret.
The people of the Northern Tribe have adhered to their ancestral teachings since birth: fulfill their duty, guard the Butterfly Clan, guard the King’s Tomb! Even in death, they would never reveal the secrets of the Northern Tribe to outsiders!
This time, so many people entering the Northern Tribe was simply unavoidable.
However, Virgil Davies’s people, from the moment they entered the Northern Tribe, were destined to remain there permanently.
These ten international crime police led by Mark, including himself, all took oaths, swearing never to reveal what they knew to outsiders.
The rest were all King Muir’s confidants, and people who had previously come from the Northern Tribe.
Even with all these people combined, there were only twenty to thirty of them.
This enables them to act swiftly and avoid drawing attention.
Melody Parker and Virgil Davies’s group moved grandly through the Northern Tribe, arriving at the entrance to the King’s Tomb.
The treasure of priceless value from Whitehill, that Virgil Davies had always coveted, was hidden here.
Before them was a towering mountain.
And the King’s Tomb entrance that Kuhn mentioned appeared to them as merely an ordinary, seemingly naturally formed cave.
If there was any difference, it was perhaps the heavy stone door blocking the cave entrance.
Virgil Davies couldn’t help but doubt, "Is such a place really the King’s Tomb of Whitehill? The place that hides treasures beyond measure? This is just too..."
Amidst Virgil Davies’s doubt, Kuhn stopped at the King’s Tomb entrance, opened the heavy stone door indifferently, and bowed to Melody Parker, "Princess, please come in."
Melody Parker pretended to look blankly at Virgil Davies.
Although Virgil Davies was skeptical, he didn’t want to miss out.
He looked at Melody Parker and ordered coldly, "You go in first and take a look."
Melody Parker nodded and walked into the cave.
Seeing no abnormalities, Virgil Davies glanced at the crowd behind him, and those hundreds immediately gathered around.
Virgil Davies spoke coldly, "Go in!" Then he led the hundreds into the cave.
After entering the cave, they walked for a long time and reached another stone door blocking their path.
Kuhn pressed a button, and the door slowly began to open.
At this point, it finally felt like a King’s Tomb.
Because behind this door was an artificially cut path leading downward.
Kuhn pressed something somewhere, and all the bonfires along the staircase sides were suddenly lit.
Melody Parker walked slowly, followed by Virgil Davies and the others, descending step by step.
After descending all the stairs, they reached a vast open ground, by now far beneath the surface.
At the end of the open ground stood a large door colored stone-blue.
Kuhn stopped before the door and looked at Melody Parker, "Princess, the treasure is inside here."
Before Melody Parker could speak, Virgil Davies hurriedly said, "Open the treasure!"
Kuhn ignored Virgil Davies, standing still.
Virgil Davies turned to Melody Parker, "Tell him to open the treasure!"
Melody Parker nodded and obediently commanded Kuhn, "Open the treasure!"
Only then did Kuhn begin to move. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
His hand slowly raised, pressing a button.
Around that button were dozens of other buttons densely arranged.
No one knew what consequences pressing different buttons would bring.
A tomb is inherently a dangerous and mysterious place.
A royal King’s Tomb guarded for generations by Whitehill, containing endless treasures, would naturally be even more perilous.
As Kuhn’s hand raised to press a button, Virgil Davies shouted sharply, "Be cautious!" Meanwhile, he stood one foot away from Melody Parker.
Kuhn sneered internally, "Such a petty man, yet he covets the treasures of Whitehill! If not for the princess, I could end his life instantly."
As Kuhn pressed the button, the stone-blue door began to open slowly in front of everyone.
The closer it came to the final moment, the more cautious Virgil Davies became.
After all, last time the false treasure almost cost him his life.
He looked at Melody Parker and ordered, "Go in!"
Melody Parker walked slowly inside, with Virgil Davies keeping a step distance behind her, following her closely inside...
Upon passing through the stone-blue door, they encountered nine gates sparkling with golden light shaped like butterflies.
Oddly, as Melody Parker approached, these butterfly gates would automatically open...
Virgil Davies was stunned, his heart awash with amazement, "Truly worthy of the mysterious, ancient Whitehill! Truly worthy of the King’s Tomb guarded by Whitehill for generations!"
He followed in awe.
Behind him and Melody Parker, his hundred-plus armed and vigilant subordinates followed, amazed as well.
Passing through these nine gates, glittering with gold and opening automatically before Melody Parker, they arrived at a brilliantly lit, magnificent hall.
This hall was identical to the one in the Whitehill royal palace, likely modeled after it.
The hall of the Whitehill palace was where kings deliberated over state affairs, yet here... nineteen coffins as black as ink were neatly arranged.
Upon reaching here, Kuhn spoke in strange tongue and performed odd gestures, seemingly paying homage to the spirits, perhaps asking ancestors’ forgiveness.
Melody Parker stood quietly, watching Kuhn without much reaction.
Virgil Davies stood closely next to Melody Parker, impatiently waiting.
He longed to interrupt Kuhn’s pointless rituals but held back with the thought of the imminent treasure.
As Virgil Davies waited, Kuhn stopped.
He turned to look at Virgil Davies, his dark eyes chilling but only for a moment.
Soon, he looked at Melody Parker.
When he looked at Melody Parker, his demeanor was completely different from facing Virgil Davies.
His gaze was respectful, he bent warmly, "Princess, please open the eleventh coffin."
Melody Parker complied, walking to the eleventh coffin and opening it.
However, the coffin was empty with nothing inside.
Virgil Davies’s hopeful expression faded, his gaze turned cold towards Kuhn, asking grimly, "What’s going on? Why is there nothing?"
