Chapter 763: Chapter 772 – Archaeology

“The Golden Palace?” Standing outside the palace, Chen Heng looked at the building before him with surprise.

The palace before him was golden in color. The whole thing looked radiant and dazzling. Moreover, it seemed to be made of gold. Chen Heng shook his head and didn’t say anything.

The Royal Sun Family seemed to like gold, even though it was only a rare metal and had no special value in this world. Their love for gold seemed to come from their aesthetic appreciation.

The Golden Palace before him seemed entirely made of gold, looking exceptionally brilliant, and it had an inexplicable atmosphere. The architectural style at that time was also very different from today, giving Chen Heng a feeling that it was somewhat novel. What a pity.

Chen Heng stepped forward and walked in as he looked at the buildings inside. The Golden Palace was still well-preserved. However, there seemed to be an inexplicable power lingering inside, making Chen Heng feel an inexplicable sense of comfort. However, this was also due to the royal Sun’s bloodline in his body. It would not have been so easy if it were anyone else.

Chen Heng looked around and could feel the pulse of the golden bloodline in his body as if something inside the palace was summoning him. Looking carefully, he could see many corpses along the way. Most of the corpses were ordinary people, and only a few were those with bloodlines. Judging from the corpses, they had been dead for a long time.

These were people from the King’s Council. It seemed that they had once tried to explore this palace but had given up for various reasons. Nevertheless, there was still some energy left in this palace, making it to be in a strange state. This also made it very difficult to explore this place.

Most powerful bloodlines were suppressed due to the strange energy in the mystic realm. So even if they were Seventh Rank Monarchs, they would not be able to unleash half of the power of the outside world. Therefore, most explorers here were ordinary people who could not resist the strange power.

Nonetheless, there were other reasons. Chen Heng walked along the road and arrived before the Golden Gate. The Golden Gate was resplendent, not looking shabby due to the passage of time. Instead, it had an inexplicable feeling that it was still frequently used. Many murals were engraved on the gate, and the God of the Sun’s descent scene appeared on them.

Chen Heng looked at the murals on the gate. Then, after pondering for a moment, he pushed it and entered. The gate slowly opened, revealing the scene inside. The entire process looked very relaxed, though it wasn’t so in reality.

Chen Heng saw many corpses outside the gate, all explorers that the King’s Council had once auctioned off. They had arrived here just like Chen Heng, but they could not open the gate and enter the palace. Thinking carefully, this was probably because they lacked a key.

In this world, the so-called “key” is usually referred to as the corresponding bloodline. So, for instance, the Sun Royal Family’s Golden Palace naturally required the Sun’s bloodline to open it.

In comparison, Chen Heng’s journey was much smoother. He walked straight into the palace and explored around. The interior of the Golden Palace seemed very clean.

Looking at this palace, one could tell it had been idle for many years. Logically speaking, there should be dust everywhere. However, as one walked into it, one would discover this was not the case.

The palace’s interior appeared clean, with no dust on the ground as if someone was cleaning it. This was a strange scene because such a long time had passed. Hence, even if there was still an array used to clean this place, it should have stopped functioning and been damaged long ago. It should not be like this.

Chen Heng looked around and carefully observed for a moment. Unlike the outside world, many decorations inside the palace were rare materials. However, some looked a little familiar to Chen Heng, and he couldn’t help but take them down for his research.

When he was in the outside world, he requested Charlie, Alice, and the others to buy all kinds of materials. Some basic materials were easy to collect. However, some high-level materials were not so easy to get, so they encountered many difficulties.

Yet, the materials that were extremely difficult to find in the outside world were everywhere in this palace. They were even placed everywhere as decorations as if they were completely worthless. Perhaps to these ancient royal families, these things were indeed worthless.

The production of these materials was much more abundant in the past, so it was naturally easier to obtain than the overall situation.

“Is archaeology so profitable?”

After going around, the items Chen Heng obtained had already filled up his entire body. The total harvest was much faster than when he asked Alice to work hard to purchase them.

This was also the harvest after despising many low-level items and only taking some good items. He sighed, finally understanding why the King’s Council was so rich.

This mystic realm was known as the gods’ graveyard. Hence, presumably, there were many ruins similar to this palace, as well as tombs of ancient royal families. The King’s Council would inevitably get rich even if there were many funerary objects in every graveyard.

This kind of harvest made Chen Heng a little envious. By now, he was already thinking about whether he should change his career. Anyhow, it was just a thought.

He was such a busy person, conducting various experiments and going to various places. How could he have the time to do archaeology here? It was fine to do it occasionally, but he wouldn’t have the time to do it often.
