CHAPTER 755: 593 I HAVE A BOLD IDEA

"Master, Master..."

Liz subconsciously moved closer to Reiger, reached out her hand, and tightly grasped Reiger’s clothes.

Reiger’s brow was furrowed as he seriously sized up the person in the coffin.

Upon closer inspection, the person’s appearance was surprisingly familiar.

She had pale grey hair and exquisite, beautiful facial features, with an attractive and graceful figure. Both her face and figure bore a striking resemblance to someone—at least seventy to eighty percent similarity.

That person was Liz.

The individual inside the coffin looked extremely similar to Liz, just as beautiful and tempting, with a very similar body, boasting an incredibly proud bust. At a glance, one might even get the sense that it was Liz herself who would be lying there in the future after she’d grown up.

If this person were to stand beside Liz, she would assuredly be mistaken for Liz’s older sister, and even more closely related than Marilyn.

Liz appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, while the person looked to be only around eighteen or nineteen years old, putting her in roughly the same age group as Reiger.

"Is this the last queen of the ancient magic civilization?"

After seriously considering the other person like this, Reiger truly found it incredible.

He could hardly believe that such a young and beautiful girl could have been a human king who had led an era eleven thousand years ago.

In such circumstances, Reiger hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to reach out his finger and touch the queen inside the coffin.

The skin his fingertips touched felt smooth and elastic, unbelievably tender, and aside from a bit of coldness, it was indistinguishable from the skin of a living person.

"Master..."

Liz couldn’t help but speak up.

"She couldn’t really still be alive, could she?"

Anyone who saw the vivid queen inside the coffin would have such a thought.

Alas...

"No, she has indeed died."

Reiger had already confirmed her condition, shaking his head as he spoke.

"The body temperature is completely gone, breathing has utterly ceased, the heart isn’t beating, and there’s no blood circulation—these are without a doubt signs of lost vital signs."

Reiger even activated his ability to see through the world, which made him utterly certain that the queen inside the coffin had passed away.

"Then, then why doesn’t she look at all like someone who has been dead for eleven thousand years?"

Liz was very puzzled.

Eleven thousand years is a long time; under normal circumstances, even the remains of a dragon should have decayed by now.

If a human corpse were buried underground for eleven thousand years and the conditions were right, it wouldn’t be surprising for it to have turned into a fossil.

Yet, the body of the queen inside the coffin had not only failed to decay, but also maintained a state nearly identical to that when she was alive.

This was, indeed, astonishing.

Fortunately, Reiger had noticed some clues.

"I think there has been a very powerful magic cast upon her."

So Reiger said.

"Magic?" Liz was even more surprised now, saying, "What kind of magic could last eleven thousand years?"

All magic has an expiration, a duration of effect.

To make the effect of a magic spell last for a long time is not unachievable, but there are limits.

At least, Liz had never heard of any magic that could last for tens of thousands of years.

And it wasn’t only Liz; Reiger, who had learned many spells, hadn’t heard of it either.

However, just because they didn’t know, didn’t mean such magic didn’t exist in this world.

"The magic technology of the ancient magic civilization was far superior to that of the modern magic civilization; by the end of that era, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if they had developed some kind of magic that was even above the strategic level, let alone a magic that could extend a bit longer in time."

That’s what Reiger thought.

"Just look at the funerary objects surrounding this queen to know; these relics would be inconceivable and indecipherable magical artifacts in the modern age, the technological content within likely representing the highest level even within the ancient magic civilization."

"Even I, just by looking at them like this, can see several funerary items endowed with magical technology and magical effects that I can’t comprehend."

"With the capability to create such treasures, one can only imagine how advanced the magic technology of the ancient magic civilization was."

"Within such a civilization, even the appearance of some magic that could preserve a body for thousands of years without decay is understandable."

After hearing Reiger’s words, Liz thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Let’s start looking to see," Reiger finally said to the now-calm Liz, "whether there’s any record worthy of our attention nearby, preferably something like ancient tomes."

Liz promptly nodded.

The two began searching upon the altar.

When saying they were searching on the altar, it really meant rummaging through the stone coffin itself.

The tomb chamber was almost completely empty, with nothing else around; only the stone coffin where the queen’s body lay contained various funerary objects, the rest of the place held nothing worthy of a glance.

So, Reiger and Liz started directly searching through the stone coffin.

The process was quite agonizing.

Because the body of Queen Yuloli looked not at all like a corpse but more like a girl in a deep sleep, both Reiger and Liz felt somewhat awkward and reluctant to disturb her.

Especially Reiger, who occasionally touched the body of Queen Yuloli, feeling as if he had touched the delicate skin of a living girl, which made him quite hesitant, not daring to search carelessly.
