Chapter 541 Ancient Secrets
The archaeological team was stunned!
Their hearts filled with shock!
He could actually withstand a weapon of this level!
That 200-million-load photon cannon could level an entire mountain with a single shot!
They walked forward in a daze, gathering around Elbert.
Rachel looked at him with concern, "Elbert, are you okay?"
Hall also stared straight at Elbert, his eyes full of awe!
Elbert glanced sideways, "Hall, you're no ordinary soldier either."
Only then did Hall remember that his arm was broken!
He grimaced in pain, "It's fine, my family will help me heal it!"
Air currents swirled.
The massive fighter jet slowly descended to the ground.
The hatch opened.
An old man, about seventy years old, thin but with sharp eyes, wearing a blue robe and accompanied by followers in high-tech combat suits, slowly emerged.
The old man generally looked like an East Asian.
But upon closer inspection, his deeply lined face showed traces of Western heritage!
This old man was mixed-race!
He coughed lightly, "My friend, it seems you saved Rachel and the others."
"However, you have many questions to answer."
"Why did you let those two people from the Golden Kingdom go?"
"And most importantly, where did that ability you just displayed come from?"
The old man's words were calm, but carried a hint of interrogation!
Rachel quickly stepped forward and bowed to the old man: "Elder Vance, this is Elbert. I can vouch that he's definitely not a bad person."
"Hmm..."
The old man pondered, slowly walking toward Elbert. When he saw the purple eye in Elbert's right socket, his body trembled!
"Your... your eye?"
Elbert smiled inwardly.
If I mentioned Paul Five's name, you'd probably bow down, wouldn't you?
But Elbert shook his head.
Judging from the technology behind the old man, Steven wouldn't have the ability to connect with someone like this!
Elbert said calmly, "I let the Golden Kingdom people go for my own purposes. This time is my own business. Rachel's copper bell doesn't count this time—she can use it again."
Elder Vance was startled again, "You're the guest Rachel mentioned, the one from Vast Mountain?"
Elbert nodded slightly.
From the old man's expression, it seemed he had a close relationship with the white-browed one.
Elbert asked Rachel, "What are you doing here?"
Rachel didn't hide anything and said directly, "We discovered another site of the ancient Golden Kingdom here."
Then Rachel pointed into the distance.
Vaguely visible among the scattered rocks were some ruins.
Elbert frowned, "And how did you encounter descendants of the Golden Kingdom?"
"Elbert, come with me."
Rachel led everyone to the center of the ruins and signaled to several archaeological team members.
They took out their tools and began excavating at the center of the site.
Their equipment was advanced.
In no time, they unearthed a rusty metal box from beneath the ground!
When the box was opened, inside were layers of amber-sealed paper packages!
"Those two golden warriors came looking for this."
Rachel completely ignored the confused looks from everyone.
She handed a leather scroll from the paper package to Elbert!
Elbert slowly opened it.
Inside were strange characters and various symbols!
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
Robert instantly captured the image and began searching online.
Robert: "This is Inkara civilization writing! It records a secret technique!"
"In ancient Western times, this was called witchcraft!"
"In modern Western times, this was called alchemy!"
"And now, this is called biotechnology!"
"The content on the diagram is basically chemical formulas!"
Elbert was fascinated, "So what does it say?"
Robert continued: "This is only part of the technology. Simply put, it's about biochemically modifying humans to gain the ability to sense gold elements!"
Biochemical modification?
Sensing gold elements?
Elbert gasped, "Could it be that those Golden Kingdom descendants aren't genetic evolvers, but were created through post-natal modification?"
"And this biochemical modification seems different from the genetic modification on the market?"
Robert: "Based on what you're holding, it seems so! And I'm really puzzled—why do you humans write on animal hide?"
Rachel said, "Elbert, the Golden Kingdom civilization has existed for over 500 years. During that time, they were constantly troubled by bandits, so they kept moving their base. The previous Veridiania desert and the current island were both their old sites."
"But they experienced a gap in between, causing recent Golden Kingdom descendants to lose their core technology."
"However, their ancestors prepared for this by splitting the core technology into 7 parts and hiding them in various sites."
Rachel paused here and glanced at the surrounding archaeological team.
The team members all seemed hesitant!
Clearly, they didn't understand why Rachel was casually telling these secrets to an outsider!
Even if it was Elbert!
But Rachel seemed to hold a special status and continued: "We've been searching for these Golden Kingdom sites to prevent the Golden Kingdom descendants from mastering these technologies again!"
"Now, all 7 fragments of the ancient Golden Kingdom's technology have surfaced. We have two pieces."
"And they possess 5 pieces!"
"The current Golden Kingdom descendants, with these technologies, have developed to a terrifying level!"
"Once they master all the technology, they'll likely create world chaos to seek justice for their ancestors' displacement!"
Now Elbert understood!
The Golden Kingdom ancestors had mastered human body modification technology 500 years ago!
And these descendants wanted to use this technology to dominate the world!
Their previous moves to acquire the twins were probably just small matters in their eyes!
Rachel added: "To stop the Golden Kingdom descendants' plans, we've been in a covert struggle with them for years."
Elbert nodded slightly.
Suddenly he recalled the pile of so-called legends from "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" on Vast Mountain.
In today's world, various ancient civilizations still exist and have even developed beyond human levels!
Ordinary people just don't know about it!
Like this Golden Kingdom, or the Miller family from Veridiania!
Elbert frowned slightly, "Rachel, how do you know all this?"
Rachel hesitated for a moment.
She bit her lip, then suddenly nodded: "To be honest with you, Elbert, my real name is Alyssa. I'm the 248th generation princess of the Ancient Maya Tribe."
