💥 Good News For my Pãtreon Supporters the first team member just join me to help me Translate the chapter and from today we will post 4 chapter a day on Pãtreon/Flokixy so I hope for your support so we can continue with the daily update 🙏

Just like real estate developers in his previous life, monuments could be dug up, it was utterly ridiculous.

Especially a monument of this considerable scale, it was impossible to operate in secret. Moreover, there were many construction workers who witnessed all this, and it was impossible to control them all.

More or less, rumors would spread. Rather than dragging it until it had to be resolved, it was better to notify the local government now for discussion.

"Look at those people around. Do you still think you can hide it from the government?"

Irumi said expressionlessly. Hammer cautiously glanced around, noticing many construction workers occasionally glancing their way while working.

"Hiding it from the government is absolutely impossible. Not even for a day."

"Let the construction stop first."

Irumi looked back at King Bradley, who had handed the black and red box to Havier, then looked at Hammer and instructed.

"Go discuss with the local government and see if there are any terms acceptable to both parties."

Terms acceptable to both parties would simply involve exchanging a piece of land, giving the ancient site to the government.

At that time, perhaps it could even boost King Bradley's reputation as a hunter, potentially increasing his star rating.

As for himself, he would rather not; operating in the shadows was more beneficial for the development of his plan.

"Boss, but..."

Hammer was a bit troubled. He was very clear about the nature of those officials.

"If worst comes to worst, give them some more money."

"If we still can't reach an agreement, then I'll talk to them."

Hammer seemed to have more to say, but upon hearing Irumi's second sentence, he stopped.

After giving his instructions, Irumi waved his hand. Hammer left the construction site with three bodyguards and headed to Piro City to discuss the ancient site with the local government.

On this side, Havier and Fanny had already set up tents nearby, and all sorts of tools were ready.

When Irumi and King Bradley were surveying the ancient site below, they hadn't been idle either.

"Let's examine this box first."

Irumi suggested. Havier and the others carefully scrutinized the black and red wooden box, agreeing that it wouldn't take long.

Inside the tent, Havier used a brush to clean the dust off the black and red wooden box, then placed it under the light for careful observation.

"This black and red layer doesn't seem to be paint."

After a long while, Havier suddenly spoke. Irumi and King Bradley, who had been waiting nearby, focused their attention on him.

"It should be bloodstains."

Irumi immediately thought of the skeleton remains in the tunnel. The bloodstains on the box must be related to those remains.

"And, this box is also a bit strange."

"The exterior and structure of this box are simply like something cut by a digital machine tool. Is there any ancient civilization capable of that?"

Havier looked up at Irumi and King Bradley, also a bit bewildered.

But after the bewilderment, curiosity grew. He even took out a chisel and gently tapped the wooden box twice.

"I noticed it as soon as I got it. Although this is a wooden box, its weight is not light."

"Its hardness also seems unusual."

Havier looked at Irumi and King Bradley's faces and said.

"Is this really something you brought up from below?"

"This, isn't it an ancient artifact?"

Irumi was also a bit suspicious at this moment. He sat on a stool, rubbing his chin with his right hand.

"Let me try."

King Bradley pondered for a moment, then stood up, took the wooden box from Havier's hand, and placed it on the ground.

"Clang!"

He suddenly drew the military saber from his waist and, under Havier's stunned gaze, fiercely slashed down.

"Clang!"

A sound of metal clashing.

There were no sparks, only the sharp blade being vibrated and flung back. The surface of the wooden box showed not a single trace.

"Oh?"

Irumi's interest was piqued. He stood up from the stool, raised his right leg high, transforming it into a sharp blade, with a transparent layer of aura covering it.

With a "swish," he swung it down abruptly.

"Clang!"

Irumi's face twitched. He looked at the wooden box, which remained perfectly intact on the ground, and was utterly astonished.

He knew precisely how powerful the cutting ability of his body, transformed into a sharp blade with a powerful aura covering it, was.

Even diamonds, with a Mohs hardness of 10, would show a trace on their surface, let alone this mere wooden box.

Diamond was already the hardest substance in nature. To say something was harder than diamond, only graphene, a new material composed of single layers of carbon atoms, remained.

"This thing, it can't possibly be made of graphene, right?"

"What are you two doing!?"

Havier was completely paralyzed when the two of them slashed at the box.

Now, he suddenly reacted, picked up the wooden box from the ground, and carefully wiped and polished it as if it were a priceless treasure.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found no marks on it.

"You two are destroying cultural relics!"

Havier pointed at some patterns on the box, saying with deep pain.

"The carvings on this represent a civilization."

"In the ancient times of Pegrose, there once existed a very glorious civilization."

"Or, it was another civilization that traveled across the sea from elsewhere."

"How could you treat something so important as an ordinary object?"

Irumi and King Bradley exchanged glances, then stood up and walked out of the tent, saying.

"Since we can't open it, you should go down and investigate first."

Havier thought for a moment, then placed the black and red wooden box in a box, locked it, grabbed his tools, and followed them out of the tent.

Inside the tunnel hall, King Bradley's team, along with the bodyguards, a group of nearly twenty people, moved around, shining powerful flashlights everywhere.

"These things seem to be of a very high level of civilization."

Havier held a flashlight, shining it on the walls of the tunnel hall.

This tunnel hall, according to their measurements, had an area of about three hundred square kilometers. The walls were adorned with images of various animals like cows, rabbits, kangaroos, and sheep.

The images were vivid and lifelike.

Unlike cave paintings elsewhere, the animals in these murals, even to Irumi, who knew nothing about art, were instantly recognizable.

To date, the earliest known paintings discovered by humans were found in the Late Paleolithic period, over ten thousand years ago.

The quality of those cave paintings was extremely poor. The things carved on the walls were barely decipherable, and if they were, it was considered good.

"I didn't notice before; there's so much here."

Irumi and King Bradley also followed the team back into the tunnel. Irumi looked towards a pink-haired girl standing before the altar.

"Fanny, have you found anything?"

Fanny was the lively girl from before. She was the team's linguist and translator, so naturally, she was brought along for this investigation.

"No. Although these characters somewhat resemble ancient cuneiform or hieroglyphs..."

"But they are not any known ancient script."
